The Kaiser, Prior to His Brother’s De- parture, Stated His Attitude Dur- ing the Spanish-Ameri- can War. From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. BREMERHAVEN, Feb. 15.—Prince Henry sailed for New York at 3:43 p. m. Tke Kron Prinz Wilhelm, as spick as skill, money and thought could make her. headed out into the North Sea at that hour with the brother of the Emperor, with his staff, on board, bound for New York, via Southampton and Cherbourg. Bremen is crowded with tourists, bound for America, and many persons have come here from al] parts of Germany to bid the prince fare- well. The Kaiser did not come to Bremen to say farewell to his brother. They bade — to each other in Berlin Tuesday night. NEVER WROTE TO DEWEY. Previous to sailing Prince Henry in con- versation with a correspundent of the As- sociated Fress referred to the report. that he had written a letter to Admiral Dewey, apologizing for the conduct of the German Squadron in Manila bay during the war with Spain: ‘It it all untrue,” said the Prince. ‘‘I have never written to Admiral Dewey in my life.’ The last seen of the prince from the shore here was when he stood on the bridge of the Kron Prinz Wilhelm in an admiral’s uniform and lifted his cap to respond to the cheers of the assembled crowds. Commander William H. Beehler, U. 8S. N., the United States naval attache at Berlin, bid the prince good-by for the United States embassy. Senator Tichirschky, Prussian minister to the Hanzatic cities, bid farewell to the Prince for Emperor William, who also sent his brother a telegram previous to the de- parture of the steamer. EVERYTHING TO BE DEMOCRATIC. The prince left the castle of Kiel at 12:40 noon, accompanied by Freiherr von Seck- endorf, chief master of ceremonies, and aids, There was no’ spécial train. A special carriage attached to the regular train con- veyed the prince to Bremen. All arrange- ments were made with the view of.making the departure as democratic as possible. The prince's party arrived at 1:30 p.m. At ithe same time other members of the’prince s suite reached there from Berlin. . They did not leave the depot, but went to the reg- ular dining hall in the station. where break- fast was waiting. They then boarded a special train, which was to convey them direct to LJoyd Hall, Bremerhaven, eg, side which the Kron Prinz Wilhelm is moored. The baggage is. already aboard, und there will be no great delay in making the start, HIS MEALS IN DINING ROOM. The prince’s quarters are on the upper promenade deck, directly in front of the first cabin smoking room, and while a spé- cial dining room has been prepared for the pr.nce anu members of his staff, it is ex- pected tnat his highness wiil have meals with other first-ciass passengers and will use his special dining room very seldom, if ever. ‘the immediate members of the prince's statlt are Adjutant-General von lessen, gscneral of infantry and a great favorite of the Kaiser; Vice-Admiral Seckendorf, Vice- Admiral ana Secretary of the Navy Von Tirpitz, Baron Eisendecher, formerly Ger- man ambassador to Washington, who trav- els as plenipotentiary; Capt. Von Muller, president of the naval cabinet; Capt. von Grumme, aid to the Emperor; Lieutenant- Commanders Schmidt, Von Schwindt, Von Egidy and Von Trotha, Staff and Body Sur.- geon Reich and Private Secretary Hintze. They will be accompanied by a score of servants. The royal traveler is very much pleased with the news he has received from America that the President’s son is con- valescent. He trusts that when he arrives in New York the boy will be completely re- ‘stored to health. Both Emperor and Prince are in cunstant telegraphic communication with the German ambassador in Washing- ton, who keeps them posted as to young taxed | at 100 cents on the dollar and no fractionu! | part thereof.

KAISER TELLS HIS ATTITUDE. The Kaiser has been greetly annoved of the publication in English news- | papers of statements concerning the atti- Whose | | recent abide by the constitution and the laws of | tude maintained by Germany during the Spanish-American war. The Em- peror in an hour’s eonversation with Am- bassador White recently impressed on him the fact that these statements were base- less.

E. Ledger, a widow residing at 6162 Suburben avenue, was shot and almost instantly killed about 9 o’clock valentine night by Fretwell Shock, aged 10, of 5887 Etzel avenue, son of Floyd Shock, director inthe firm of George D. Barnard & Co. The shooting occurred at the corner of Goodfellow and: Bartmer avenues in the fashionable residence district Known as Cabanne. With young Shock at the time of the shooting were a number of other boys, whose parents, like Shock’'s, reside in Ca- banne. With the Ledger boy were four others who, like himself, resided in De Hodiamont—on|y a few blocks away but west of the Suburban railroad tracks. SHOOTING FOLLOWED RIVALRY. The shoot.ang was the outcome of a spirit of hostility that existed between the “De Hodiamoat gang’ and the *““Cabanne boys”’ for several months. There had been collisions between the two crowds of -boys in the past, but none re- suited seriously. to “have some fun.’’ Both hit upon the an- client custom of placing comic vaientines on front steps, ringing belis and running away. In carrying out this pragram the De Ho- diamont boys wandered into the Cabanne territory. They placed a comic valentine undgr a front door in the vicinity of Goodfellow and Bartmer avenues and started to run, that they might be safe from detection when the occupant of the house should answer their ring at the bell. USED THE WORD NIGGEBRS. In their. flight they ran into the crowd of younger Cabanne boys. The latter were garbed in Mardi Gras costumes and their taces were blackened. ‘“‘Let’s take a look at the —~ geal said one of the De Hodiamont crowd. His companions stopped and jostled the Cabanne boys.,, The latter stopped, also, and a verbal war was on. Stories differ as.to the intervening cir- cumstances, but the result of the verbal war was that Fretwell Shock took a fre- volver from his inside coat pocket and fired at Joseph Fleming, aged 15, af 1025 Forest Park avenue. ; The atm missed Fleming. and Ledger sank to the sidewalk with a bullet in his right temple. Both crowds were frightened by the trag- ic sequel to their neighborhood war and all fled but two of Ledger's companions who stood guard over him. POLICE CORRALLED BOYS. The news quickly spread that a boy had been shot and Sergt. Harry Dorsey of the Mounted Police district. who was at De Hiodiamont, ran to the scene of the shoot- ing, rapping his club en route. Police- men Gartland and Harrison responded to his raps, and together they searched for principals and eye-witnesses to the shoot- ing. The first boy that Sergt. Dorsey found was Louis Mathews of 5851 Etzel avenue, who is about Shock’s age. His hand was tied up and the sergeant thought he might have been in the fight. The sergeant learned that the Mathews boy's arm_was injured several days ago, but he took him to Carey's drug store at Etzel and Goodfellow avenues, and he and the policeman corraled all the other boys they could find in the same pharmacy. The sergeant questioned one boy, whose name he refuses to give, having promised his father not to do so. As he was ques- tioning the boy hijs father entered the drug store. He told the sergeant he knew noth- ing about the trouble, but would find ott from his son who did the shooting. This 4 told his father that it was Shock who qd it. A policeman was at once sent to the Shock residence. The victim of the bullet had meanwhile been carried to the drug store. but he was dead before a physician arrived. YOUNG SHOCK WAS IN BED. Young Shock had gone to bed, but he was aroused and returned to the drug store to the policeman. There he confessed he did the shooting and the sergeant released all the other boys, taking their names and ad- dresses for use in case they were needed as witnesses. Young Shock. was taken to the mounted district station in Forest Park, where he passed the night. His older brother, Ken- nan Shock, visited him there and had breakfast brought to him Saturday morn- ne, . To the Post-Dispatch Saturday morning the boy talked willingly of the shooting. He deciared he had not used the weapon until after the De Hodiamont crowd had at- ‘tacked him, and then had only shot Ledger ‘dentally. rhey were all bigger boys in the De | Hodiamont crowd,.”” he said. “and they ed us and said, “Oh! look at the nig- Then they started to fight_us. A boy they called Joe attacked me. He tr: pped 'me and knocked me down. I fell on the |nocket I had the revolver in and as I got | up f pulled it and fired at this boy Joe. 'I missed him and hit the other boy. | “That crowd of De Hodiamont boys has been after the Cabanne boys. They beat a bey named Bensberg that lives on Clara avenue. I carried the revolver for fear they might beat me. I carried it for about two months. but only when I went out at night. My mother and father d:dn't know I had it, it was an old revolver and my father had laid it away. stopp gers.’ “\WWe boys were just out having some fun it was Valentine night. We all Beverly Johnson's house and Most of us wore iong pants, because ‘went to backed up. i too.”’ The Shock boy sald the boys with him ‘were Otto De Donato of 5882 Ju‘ian ave- nue, Lee Brady of 5816 Julian avenue, Gar- ry Spencer of 122 Shawmut place and James Gardner of 1045 Goodfellow avenue. Louls Mathews of 5851 Etzel “avenue met them just before the shooting, Shock sala, but took ne part in the fight. a William Crawford, aged 15, of 1055 Sub- urban terrace, who was one of Ledger's companions, tells a different story from that related by the young prisoner. “There were only five of us, the other three besides Ledger and myself being Joe Fieming, Will Smith of 611 Bartmer ave- nue and Arthur Swinhart, who lives at Bay- ard avenue and the Suburban tracks. “We were just out to have a little fun.

In rurning away from ine house we ran into the crowd of Cabanne Oyvs. “We saw that their faces were black and we all said: ‘O, look at the niggers.’ They ot mad about that and called us names. hey said they wanted to fight.

BOY SAID “SHOOT ’EM, DICK.”’ “But they wanted to fight and Kept on Calling us names until finally some little fellow in the crowd, they were all younger than us boys, said: ‘Shoot ’em, Dick.’ “By Dick he meant young Shock. Shock took his revolver out of his coat, aimed at Fleming and fired. It was all done so quick that Ledger was stretched out on the ground before we knew what happened. Any one of our five might have been killed the same way. I wasn’t watching him and 1 don’t suppose Ledger was. Fleming, 1 think, was watching him and maybe he dodged to one side when Shock aimed at irn. ‘We've had trouble with the Cabanne crowd for about @ year. They try to get after us every time they get one of us down in their neighborhood. .- Fleming drives a milk wagon through there sontetimes and they used to rock his wagon when they got a chance. “It was too bad about. Ledger. He was a nice, quiet boy. He didn’t want to fight any of the little Cabanne fellows. When we started out he said he only wanted to put out a few valentines, as he. promised his mother he would be home at,9:30.”’ There is deep grief in both the Shock and Ledger families over the tragic valen- tine night episode. Saturday morning one of the Misses Shock called at the Ledger residence to express the sorrow of her household over the death of Willie Ledger. The familv of the dead boy ,too, expresses sympathy for the parents, brother and sis- ters of Fretwell Shock. LEDGER’S MANLY STATEMENT. “It is just as much a blow to them as it is to us," Samuel Ledger, a manly youth of 18. said to the Post-D‘snatch. “Young Shock did not intend to kill my brother. What he did has brought great sorrow to his family as well as to ours. We will not prosecute him. “T know that the killing of my brother was just an unfortunate accident. From whut I hear about it, it seems that the two crowds of boys were out distributing valentines and that both were running at the same time. “The younger Cabanne boys seemed to think that the older De Hodiamont .boys were running after ‘them and the little Shock boy turned and fired at them. That is the way I understand it.’’ Young Ledger's body, which was removed Friday -night to his hutic. 8162 suburban avenue, the residence o/ *%3s uncle, G. 8. Servant. waS taken downtown Saturday mornne that the coroner's jury might be sworn in over the remains. It will be taken back to the Servant resi- dence and the funeral will be held prob- ably Sunday. The inquest has been set for 10 o'clock Monday morning by Veputy Coroner F.tz- simmons, and all the boys who. witness:d the tragedy will be supenaed. Saturday afternoon Capt. McNamee of the Mounted Police district wfl’ have the boys brought before him that he may com- pare their statements and, if possible, ar- rive at a clear understanding of the cir cumstances surrounding the tragedy. SHOCK BEHIND THE BARS. Fretwell Shock looks strangely out of place behind the heavy iron bars of the Mounted Station calaboose. He ts a bright- eyed, ruddy-faced boy. His clothing is in striking contrast with that usually worn by the occupants of the Mounted Station cell. Saturday morning he Was dressed in a coat and short trousers of a light green hue. and wore a sweater, striped with wide bands of red and white.- He does not seem to realize the serious- ness of his situation. In discussing the shooting he did not expres any regret. Tears came Into his eyes, however, as he told the attaches of the station the story the tragedy. olrhe revolver young Shock used wae a six- shooter of the Iver-Johnson make. It was of 2%-caliber. Five cartridges were found in the weapon after it was secured by the police. DIDN'T WITNESS THE MURDER. COUNCIL BLUFFS, Io., Feb. 15.—May- nard.

Many people use coffee day after day without an idea of the serious work it does with nerves, stomach, bowels and sometimes with the eyes, heart and kid- neys. Its work is done gradually, that is, the poison affects the nerve centers a little today and a little tomorrow and so on, and finally the nerve cells are slowly broken down and then Nature begins the call for help. It is a safe proposition that if a man or woman has headaches, stomach trou- ble, or any such ailments come on at in- tervals, something is wrong with the food or drink, and this question should be investigated carefully, for health is the best capital anyone can possess, and wilfully breaking it down is a piece of childish folly. fos It is easy to leave off coffee if_one Food Coffee, properly made, for Postum has a delicious coffee flavor and a deep seal brown color which changes to a ie brown when cream is added, and it satisfies the coffee drinker without any of the bad effects of coffee; on the contrary, the result of ising Postum is the rebuilding of the broketi down nerve centers by the food *! elements contained in it.

On December 14, last, the proprie- tors of Paine’s Celery Compound found the following letter among their mail: They had no correspondence on. the stibject; they did not know Mr. Mus- hain, except by reputation. Like every testimonial of this great medicitie that was ever printed, it came to- them un- solicited and unsought. The proprie- tors of Paine’s Celery Compound have, never found it necessary to manufac- ture or edit any testimonial, They have never found it necessary by afiy trick of advertising to promote mythical men in far off places. to positions in legislatures or offices that never heatd of them. It is the one of all remedies the popularity uf which has jricreased on account of what it does, instead of what it says. . It appears that Fire Chief Musham, the head of the Chicago Fire Depart- ment, which is the model of the world, has been for forty years in the service; as brave as a lion, industrious, cool- headed, with a record for fighting fires, and quite as distinguished for nerve and generalship as other heroes upon whom nations have bestowed ublic honors for service in no less Pastas ufidertakings.

He began at the bottom. Read what he says of the medicine that has also enabled thousands of other men and women to achieve what by intelligence and ambition they were cut out to do. And bear in mind that what Paine’s Celéry Compound has done in the case of Marshal Musham, and for thou- sands of others who have voluntarily expressed their gratitude in similar words, it will do with unvatying cer- tainty in the case of every person whose nervous system, from whatever catise, begins to show the effécts of disease, and whose symptoms manifest themselves in the various distressing ways that are so familiar to every reader. “Gentlemen :-— Your remedy, Paine’s Celery Com- pound, is all that you claim for it, and is certainly a boon to humanity. I have tried it, and have secured great benefits from it when suffering from indigestion or its companion; nervots- ness. I am told that many of the boys in the department are using Paine’s Celery Compound with very satisfac- to results. I can heartily recommend Paine’s Celery Compound for those who suffer from lack of energy, ner- vousness, indigestion and similar ail- ments. Yours truly, “W.

A crisis in athletic circles will be reached this afternoon when the High Schoo) Girls’ first and second basket ball teams meet in the second of a series of three contests for supremacy. The result of Saturday's battle will deter- mine which of the teams will represent the High School in match contests for the fu- ture, One game has already been played and the second team defeated the first on that occasion. The first five has been coached since and expects to make a better showing than it did on the last occasion, though majority opinion has it that the last team shall be the first after today’s contest. The first team was chosen arbitrarily when the season started last year and has contended that it was the best team that the school could turn out. The rest of the athletic association took exception to this after a time and a second team was ormed. In this aggregation there were no ess than 20 or more of regulars and sub- stitutes. Victories won without defeats convinced the second five that it could defeat thesfirst team, and a challenge was the result. The second team stated that it was from Missouri, and while the first team might be the sttronger the members of the second thought they would have to be shown be- fore they believed it. It was decided that the second team would be given 4&4 match, and a series of three contests was arranged. If the second team wins again this afternoon the first five will have to add “substitute” after their names whenever they write them in connection with High School basket ball. The line-up for Saturday’s game follows: Second team— F.Messing, right forward. Heller. left forward. ndalil, center. A. Schnell, right guard. t guard. Fisher, left guard. gva d. . Scott, left DIMES.

SAN F.ANCISCO, Feb. 15.—The $10,000 Burns handicap, at a mile and a quarter, will be decided at Oakland this after- noon. From the present outlook, 12 horses wil] face the barrier. Taking into consideration the weights, class, recent trials and public form of the candidates, it looks as if Nones, Articulate and Scotch Plaid are the three most worthy of consideration.

Say, who do you think he was? Rip Van Winkle! Gus Bengal says so. I had a hard time finding out about Rip. I didn’t want to hustle a bit, but there was nothing to it, Just as soon as the sport come in yes- terday I seen I was stuck. He had his neck all bandaged up and said he was suf- fering from the “pink eye’’ which had set- tled on his chest and made him horse. He certainly talked like it. He said he'd been taking camphor and sugar for it all night. I guess he knows what he’s talking about, but it didn’t smell like camphor to me. Anyhow, he threw the gaff into me. “Johnny,” says he, “your bowling educa- tion needs tending to. You go out and find something about the great game of cocked hat and incidentally bring me back an an- swer to this query,’ and he throws me ovér a plece of writing which I read, Say, that was an insanity producer fer true. On the square, that wasn’t no ques- tion at all—it was a riddle. You see, the party writing didn’t want nothing but a history of the game and a small bi.graphy of the inventor thrown in. “Here,’”’ says I to Sport, “I ain't no iIn- fumation bureau.

One day a Yankee asked him why is a crow? and he was so confoundered he turned to stone.

I was just about going to shoot the last ball down the boards when the little fat man comes skating down the alley. He was mad about something and looked like he could bite pieces out of the kitchen range if he had a chanct. “Consarn you,” he says, “what In name (I won't mention the name) are you trying to do?

When I got back to the office I told the Sport how the whole thing was, and he wanted to know how it was Rip came to o to sleep so long, as some people said he id. I told him he wasn’t asleep—that he'd spent all his salary and was afraid to go home till his wife died, so he just went over into the next county for a few years and lived on showing people how easy jt was to put down three bottles. Thats the way the game spread. ue ay,’ Says the Sport, after a long time, Washington Irving had th story al balled up, didn't he.

Some- — SPORTING COMMENT By J. E. Wray Continued criticism of the work of pu- gilistic refrees would indicate that the box- ing rules should be revised. At present the referee has just enough discretionary power to make or maf a fight —generally they mar it. As establishing a definite understanding on certain much mooted points a clause or two added to the present rules would help matters vastly. Mr. Dave Nelson has been variously crit!- cised for holding that Rice did not foul during his bout with Tim Callahan at the West End Club recently. Scarcely a fight occurs in which there is not some misunderstanding over the agree- ment, or rather, the referee's interpreta- tion. Why not forever end discussion by de- fining positively what clean breaks, clinch- es and other mooted points shall be? Thursday night’s crowd at the Coliseum hissed very persistently when Rice con- tinued pounding Callahan on the back when the Philadelphia man was holding. “Foul,” was the continual cry. Nelson very properly let Rice go om, as there never, at any time, was an announcement made that the men were not to continue fighting up to the time the referee said “break.”’ Nelson was therefore, ‘tn bad” with the crowd, partly because the crowd 4d not understand the rules, but chiefly because there are no positive rules to understand. Tt is true the Marquis of Queensbury 1s reasonably specific, but as it is so fre- quently necessary to ask specta] interpre- tathons, changes covering all phases of the boxing game should be agreed upon. REFBREE’S POWER VAGUE. The power of the referee tn boxing af- fairs is altogether too vague. As it at present stands the way is open for all sorts of underhanded work. It is not intend to insinuate that this ts going on, but tha. it might, at any time, is apparent. how many bottles they had before they got through.” JOHNNY. THE OFFICE BOY. { _ There appears to be no reason why the continual wrangle over misunderstood con- ditions should exist ,and yet hardly a night passes that some contest is decided unsatis- factorily because of inadequate understand- |ing of rules. A stitch in time saves nine, they say. President Charles Hardluck Haughton experienced another jab from the mitt of an unkind fate yesterday when Justice Haugh- ton rendered a decision tn & matter of rent fagainst his namesake of the physical cul- ture profession. The decision may mean that Mr. C. H. Haughton will have to quit business again, though his numerous hairbreath escapes from disaster irdicate that he may once more find some way out of the matter. For some time the owners of the West End Coliseum have been endeavoring to in- validate Haughton’s lease, according to his own statement, and desire to use the prop- erty for purposes of their own. If Hayghton should be forced to go the West End Club would be without a home. | About the only place available would be the Germania Theater, as the Exposition Coll seum, in view of the proposed sale, might not be long available.

No one should be blind to the fact that the drouth of 1 summer practically ruined a great many of the small farmers of Missouri. That no cry for aid has come from the country districts, especially in the center and southwest, is but an evi- dence of the fact that the Missouri farmer is too proud to ask for help as long as there is any chance of ‘“‘scratching along.”’ ° The letter of Hon. A. 8S. Prather of Tancy County to Col. M. Wetmore shows that it may be an unwise policy to ignore the subject any longer. Mr. Prather says that the people are ‘not saying enything for publication, but are like the Spartan boy with the fox under nis coat."’ But, he adds: “Hundreds of people have gone and more would go if they Beckwith Specisi Agenc 4n0 9. 2 [a J 2. > oe . > Soe eafed oseet: + Beate afoate dhe Sosdpedeadegeedeatoctected ast C. could.”’ This means that Missouri is losing many of her valuable citl- gens, because no attempt has been made to help them in this time of need. This is a fact that it will not do to ignore. It.is an injury to the State. It will be many months before the impov- erished people will begin to find help from the new crops. Would it not be well to extend aid to them before it is too late? Gov. Dockery has given death the wink, He thas gone home reassured as to his physical condition. , ha, hi di i i A PLEASING CON% RAST. There is wild excitement among fie employes of the Brooklyn- New York Rapid Transit Co. It : been given out that fat con- ductors must go. 4 It is explained that these joJ.y men—fat men are all jolly, aren't they ?—take up too much rogn. Several of the conductors on the Brooklyn lines actually fi the space commonly alloted to two men and consequently ‘ilave great difficulty in making their ~ wey~through the Mass of humanity packed like sardines in the aisies. Besides, it is calculated that the company loses one fare every trip of the cars manned by redundant conductors. The Brooklyn company is singularly short-sighted. -The 8&t. Louis corporations evidently foresaw this danger. Anyhow there. ien’t a fat man on any rear platform in St. Louis. Thin men are the rule and passengers are very giad of it. The Transit and Suburban companies are entitled to the gratt- tude of citizens for this generous consideration. They were wise enough to anticipate and prevent a most vexatious infringe- ment upon the comfort of strap passengers. We are close to another assessment of 20 per cent on World's Fair stock subscriptions. It will probably be made next week. = = FATAL FROGS AND GUARD RAILS. One of the numerous guard rails, on a grade crossing, gave opportunity for a display of bravery by an old man, Watchman Wolff, who saved the life of a.boy whose foot had caught in the rail, as told in Friday’s Post-Dispatch. But so dangerous are these guard rails and frogs at the grade crossings in St. Louis that the old man was perhaps fatally injured in doing his brave work. | The Post-Dispatch has frequently urged that the law in regard to railway frogs and guard rails be enforced. Why are any of these death traps permitted to exist in the city? Every citizen who has occasion to pass grade crossings has seen; numerous unprotected frogs and guard rails. This is inexcusable. The flange of a locomotive or railway car is so short and narrow that there is no reason why the wide and deep slots and V-shaped openings that act as death traps should be alluwed to exist. lt is a question of placing in these slots and openings the strips of wood or metal that would make it impossible for a hu- man foot to get caught therein. Neglect to do so may mean Geath to the first pedestrian who attempts to cross the trap. Enforce the law and make the grade crossing safer for the people. Perhaps it is a man who had heen long out of employment who played Uncle Tom to John L.’s.

Hultin of Boston observed that the need of the hour was “a change of front, the putting forward of the great moral issues in place of the greed for go, and the advancement of the moral principles that shall result in the uplifting of oppressed humanity.” Beveral women have lately pushed forward the same _ idea. It seems to be a woman's notion and, possibly, its realization will be a woman's work. Commercial progress is desirable and every man should do what he can to further his own fortunes and strengthen his country’s position in the world of trade. But he should not de- part from the path of right. The struggle seems to have hecome so fierce in recent years that something like moral insanity has developed. This is espe- cially observed in the relations between public and private inter- ests.

Fut it may be questioned whether Europe is so absolutely dependent upon the United States. Argentina’s fodd supply is abundant. and Australia and New Zealand might help out in famine. : Still the resources of the United States are so great and the cheapness of our products is so marked that in the near future we may expect to dominate if not possess the Huropean market. In such case the dislocation of trade could hardly be made more complete by an embargo; which is the same as to say that the gvvernments of the old world will think more than twice before entering upon a conflict with the United States. The effort to discredit the work of the circuit attorney and the grandjury in the boodle investigation by referring it to a politi- cal motive is a poor attempt to obtain low.:partisan advantage out of a critical public occasion. | Whatever subterranean influences may be at work—and they are always at work—it should be clearly understood by all pub- lic officers, that the voters and taxpayers of the city expect a thorough inquiry, an exposure of rascality and the indictment and conviction of the wrongdoers. It does not matter whether the corruptionists are rich or poor, Republicans or Democrats. The people are profoundly indif- ferent to such distinctions. The public desire to see stripes on the guilty men, whoever and whatever they may be. And in work- ing to this end the circuit attorney may be assured of the sturdi- est popular support. ge FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENT Public-spirited citizens should give all the aid in their power toward making successful the visit of the delegation about to go to Washington in the interest of improvement of the Mississippi. This delegation wil] directly represent the Business Men’s League and the Merchants’ Exchange. But indirectly it will represent every man, woman and child who derives support from the in- dustries and prosperity of St. Louis. The object of the delegation is to urge upon Congress an appro- priation of $1.000,000 a year for five years to improve the Missis- sippi river channel from the mouth of the Missouri river to Cairo, lll., such improvement being necessary in order to insure safe and expeditious river navigation between New Orleans and St. Louis. The advantages to St. Louis from such improvement, in the way of increased trade, have frequently been shown and need not be urged at this time. There is another point which is of great importance to the city, namely, the certainty that the river front would be improved and beautified if the river itself should be so improved as to encourage a revival of river navigation. At pres- ent the river front is the only part of St. Louis that is abso- lutely stagnant. Its condition is 50 years behind that of the water fronts of mos. other large cities. Help the merchants’ delegation by writing to the St. Louis and Missouri Congressmen and in amy other way that may suggest it- self. = = = Will Congress have to put a ‘stop to the manufacture of Ameri- can airships?

It is great news for over-the-river that the battleship Illinois surpasses all the other battleships in speed and in maneuver- ing. No doubt her extraordinary speed will be used exclusively in chasing the enemy. A corner in downtown corners in St. Louis means a good deal.

It ought to be interesting to Missourt friut-growers to read that Oklahoma and the Indian Territory are expecting to win World's Fair fruit premiums over all comers.

Paul Louis Marie Archambault, Count de Talleyrand-Perigord, is fortunate in having so generous a father-in-law as ex-Vice- President Levi P. Morton. An American bride with a life income is much more substantial than a long name or a long title. A Nashvilie hotel man notes that whereas a fow years ago a woman who sat in a hotel lobby was considered bold and for- ward, a hotel lobby now without a crowd of women is considered a lonesome place. However, they are not yet smoking cigars and patrenizing the bar. Barbers who talk are in great danger from keeping the mouth open so much while on duty. An Indiana barber is about to die from tuberculosis produced by swallowing short hairs that blew in while he was at work. Were all unnecessary talk so fatal, what a harvest there would be for the funeral directors. The birthday of Lincoln and that of the President's daughter Alice, who became of age on Wednesday, are the same. If wom- en were eligible to the presidency this might seem ominous. A feminine Roosevelt at the head of the nation might make condi- tions almost as interesting as they are now.

Chicago society is in the throes of agony over the question of who shall dance first with Prince Henry at the ball to be given in his honor. We may forget the ones we love, And life we may grow weary of, And that which now delights us most Become an empty, idle boast, Yet one important query must Be answered ere we turn to dust: When Henry, prince of royal bleed, Shall hither come to claim nis meed Of democratk guff and gush, And join the great Chicago rush, Unt the sccial stunt shall pall And dull ennui consume us all, Who, at the big and bustling ball, Will lead the march with Henry? Missouri may imbibe ad fin. Bacilli that come pouring in From our canal; the world at large May rip and rear and foam and charge And like a palfrey champ the bit, But what care we?

Oh, of our matrons &t the ball, Which haugthy dame will have the call? Oh, which will fly while others crawl, And whoop ’em up with Henry?

He has in- troduced during the various stages of the story several of the great wits, aux and social leaders of contemporaneous histori- cal renown and blended them into the nar- rative in a natural and charming way.

HIS SAFE IN PATERSON FIRE When It Was Taken Out and Opened the Contents Burst Into Flame. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Former Attorney- General John W. Griggs saw many thou- sand dollars’ worth of his bonds and val- uable papers destroyed in Paterson, N. J., just as he had seen them taken, still intact, from the ruins of the big fire. These papers were in his private safe in his office, where his splendid law library was burned. The safe was taken from thie ruins and the door pried open. Suddenly the papers burst into flames and were re- duced to ashes. It is supposed gas had gxenerated inside the safe. Among the pa- pers were eight unregisteredibonds each of a face value of $1000. " Gartner Stewart, having offices near those of Mr. ory. lost $10,000 in the same manner. In an adjoining building were the offices of Katz Bros., brewers. In their safe were bonds valued at $150,000. When the safe was opened its contents were found to be in ashes. Lawyers are said to have lost $150,000 in books by the destruction of their libraries in last Sunday’s flames. Few of them car- ried insurance. HED A VICTIM OF STARCH HABIT STRANGE CRAVING OF NEGRO WOMAN OF OWENSBORO. SHE ATE TWO POUNDS. A DAY On Her. Death Bed She Cried for Starch as a Confirmed Fiend Would fot Opium. Special to the Post-Dispatch. OWENSBORO, Ky., Feb. 15.—At 2 Jennie Talbot, a negress, is dead, a victim to the starch habit. 7 The coristant eating of common starch daily for fifteen years slowly and insidious- ly poisoned her system till the heart gradu- ally decreased in action and death came gently and almost painlessly. Jennie Talbot was in the employ of Mrs. A. M. Johnson from childhood, and she con- tracted the starch habit while hanging around the kitchen on wash day. In the beginning a very little would satisfy her. She nibbled it gs.a child eats sugar, declaring she liked the taste. As the years went by the craving increased. The woman made no secret of the habit, and no DELIBERATE CRIME. OF BABY BO MOTHER HAD REPRIMANDED A CHILD OF THREE YEARS. SHE THEN LEFT FOR A STORE When She Returned He Had Set Fire to and Fatally Burned His Baby Sister. HAMMOND, Ind., Feb. 15.—Willie, the 3- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Knowak of this city, is said to have deliberately set fire to the clothing of his baby sister, and watched her burn to death. At the in- quest it developed that after the father of the children, a fireman, had gone to his work, the mother reprimanded the boy for some trifling fault and locked both children in the kitchen while she went to a grocery store. In one corner of the kitchen was a ocup- board, on the shelf in which was stored matches. The mother was absent about 15 minutes. When she returned and openea the kitehen door the sickening smell of burning flesh almost overpowered her. On the floor lay the 15-months-old girl, writh- ing in pain and burned almost beyond rec- ognition. Standing near by was her little brother watching the flames which had be- gun to eat into the pine floor of the room. The boy, tive, said at the inquest lighted the baby’s clothes. who is precocious and talka- that he had He exhibited no grief upon being shown the charred body. eee + FIREMEN FOOLED BY DEAD BODIE THEY BRAVELY CARRIED OUT SIX FROM DESSECTING ROOM. THOUGHT THEY WERE OVERCOME Not Until They Got Them Outside Did They Find They Were “Subjects.” CHICAGO, Feb. 15.—Firemen who groped their way through fire and smoke and dragged six dead bodies into the _ street from Bennett Hospital at Ada and Fulton streets late last night, carried on their he- roic labor in the belief that they were res- cuing persons who had been asphyxiated and not until the flames had béen subdu did they learn that they had been in the dissecting room of Bennett Medical Col- lege and that the rescued bodies are from the dissecting tables of the school. Several of the cadavers were clothed, have ing been brought to the school in that con- dition. One cadaver was incinerated. The dissecting room and laboratory of the col- lege were destroyed, entailing a loss of es een, ere f ee es Se ne. os * ge ck WDieb ats a ea : us >. a i ae © ANNIE al OF ENE ITE AE TI. 0 UN POT SR AEN, RANGERS tle I ES ts - x oy -— A ¢ 4 ‘> i PS oe “4, “f ‘ me as > " > ° t ~§ Sah LE r etet G, oMhe at ee wr; het e%- Ps Delicately formed and gently reared, women will find, in all the seasons of their lives, as maidsor wives or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and whigh muy be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions, when the system needs a laxative—is— Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple com- bination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos- trums of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condi- tion of the system, use the true and gentle remedy— — Syrup of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the depres- sion, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guar- antee of the excellence of the remedy the full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraud- ulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle. all _ LFSRNIAPIGSYRV Superior Dentistry OUR SUCCESS In ery CLINICS D HIGH-G E WORK bow Br THE PROFESSORS OF COLLEGE, em Prices until Feb. 20.
