Miss Eugenia Chouteau and Julius Foy, joint curators, were also present. The conference was the scene of sharp and warm legal debates, and A. F. Mather, the representative of the Rock Island road, stated that he would offer $1500 for each share of the stock the moment it was put up for sale. Tt was agreed that the parties should meet in the office of John F.

The Mercantile representatives declare that her attitude makes the bargain void, and that, although’*one of the joint cura- tors has the power to sign for both, the bargain is not legal. Judge Henderson said that the bargain fn his opinion was not binding, and that, while the curator owed to his own honor the duty of living up to his contract, he also owed to the minor for whom he was trustee the duty of securing the highest price possible for the stock.

POINTED REVOLVER AT WOMAN WHEN SHE FLED HE TOOK POS- SESSION OF HER HOME. In the Excitement of the Arrest a Spec- tator Was Injured by a Blow From a Policeman’s Club. Policeman Patrick Noonan of the Fourth Gistrict invaded the laundry agency of Mrs. A@a Schlueter, at 36 North Tenth street, Friday night and drove her with a revolver from the building, which is her home as “well as place of business. After sending Mrs. Schlueter, with her infant In her arms, running in terror from the house, Noonan seated himself in the room back of the laundry office, which is the living room of the woman and child. The first policeman who came in response to Mra. Schlueter’s summons looked in and, seeing his brother officer seated in the room, went away without attempting ‘to disturb him. The second, Patrolman Henderson, ar- rested Noonan. throwing him on the floor of the laundry office and placing his foot on his neck to overpower him. A private watchman aided in the capture. At the Carr street station, Lieut. Mc- Kenna removed Noonan's star and sus- pended him from the force. While the police were taking Noonan to the station Simon Levy of 1139 Franklin avenue was struck on the head with one of their clubs and his skull was laid bare. He says that he was struck by one of the policemen who was in charge of the pris- oner, and that he had given no provoca- tion for the assault, other than being in the crowd which surrounded the police group. “The policeman walked in and sat down,” eald Mrs. Schlueter Saturday, ‘and when I asked him to leave he drew a revolver and pointed it at the baby and me. Then I! Snatched up the baby and ran out, calling for the police. “The first officer who came didn’t seem to care, or he was afraid of the other man's gun, so he refused to @isturb him. “After the policeman had been taken away, and before I had got back two men came in and started to loot the place, but a neighbor stopped them."’ Noonan received a very severe shock from electricity Nov. 2, 1900, when Patrolmen Beckman and Looney were killed and sev- eral other officers injured by touching pa- trol boxes that had been charged by trolley wires. Some of,Noonan's fellow officers be- Neve that he never fully reeovered from that shock. Take Care of Your Eyesight. Consult Dr. Bond, expert optician, at Mermod’ & Jaccard’s, Broadway and Lo- cust.

A Prominent Business Man Saved from Nervous Prostration. It is by true merit, and true merit alone, that Paine’s Celery Compound has won its popularity in every part of the civilized world. When all other medicines fail, when the best directed cfforts of physicians accomplish but little for the banishing of desperate diseases, Paine’s Celery Compound saves life and restores health. It is natural, therefore, that men and women saved from the perils and dan- ger of nervous diseases, rheumatism. neuralgia, and blood troubles. should ac- quaint their friends—the sick and well —of what was arcomplished for them by Paine’s Celery Compound.

No smallpox has existed at the Fair Grounds this year.

Comiskey has dim hopes of getting a game from the St. Louisans be- fore the series is over, but his men will have to move just a little bit faster to take a contest from the reinvigorated Browns. Donohue is announced as the man who will undertake to make it three straight from the visitors and Callahan is slated to do the box work for the ‘ ‘champeens."’ Manager Hedges says that ‘Comiskey Day” will have to miss out as far as he is concerned, and that no postponed cere- monies will be put through. Capt. Dick Padden came to life yester- day. He batted and ran like a gingery 2- year-old. He slammed out a three-bagger and scored a run. The example he set in- spired the rest of the aggregation and great baseball resulted. Almost everybody hit the ball, ran bases well and in general manifested somethin beside the usual desire to lay down an quit. Chicago played well, but Bollermaker Powell was in fine condition, and pitched a ball that none of them could find. The Chicago team is an excellent aggre- gation, but it Is handica poet. It is stagger- ing under the weight of enlarged craniums and is finding its championship burden a little too hard to bear. On their own pri- vate conviction it is hard to find a team anywhere that can beat the Chicagos, but, as a matter of cold fact and solid reliable information, the Chicago people can find several teams in the League that can beat them and will do it. Chicago's chief claim to greatness is in its pitching department, which is supposed to equal that of Pittsburg of the ational League. Otherwise some of its talent could be left in the woods without serious loss to the team Mr. Mertes and Mr. Strang do not cut very large swaths in the baseball world. The prev om opinion appease to be that the easiest plan for the Chicagos would be to try and | ome about the championship, otherwise there might be hard feelings at the end-af the season when it goes to some other park than ¢ ‘omiskey's With all the Brown's aitohers working, and the injunction proceedings inoperative, der Browns may take a brace and run away from Chicago. Stranger things has hap- ay did not slug the curves of Mr. Garvin so numerously as heavily. Several of the raps were for extra bases, and nearly all of them came at needful times. The re- eult was that the Browns made more runs in one game than they did in the entire atroit series. ag he and Anderson were the principal performers with the willow and Capt. Pad- den lined out a fine three- bagger.

The Philadelphia tragedy in which eight girls were killed and more than 40 injured in a panic at a factory, because of a cry of fire, suggests the question as to what is being done in St. Louis to carry out the fire escupe law. Are the authorities doing their duty in the enforcement of this law in regard to factories, hotels, boarding houses, etc.? : } And what of the school buildings? They are without fire es- capes. Why? It is claimed that the. public the past five years are fireproof, and that most of them, new and old, have wide, incombustible stairways. But it ic not claimed. that all or any are fireproof throughout. And the city ordinance requires that all buildings not. of. the “first-clase,’ which the law defines as ‘‘fireproof§ throughout,’ ehall have exterior fire escapes. An interior stairway, wide enough in ‘ts way. Put it cannot suffocating smoke, or against overcrowding in a panic. it not more than probable that, even with the best of discipline, such a e¢tairway might become useless in case of fire or panic? The High School and many other packed schoo! buildings are of such a height that escape from the upper story windows is out of the auestion. It is not difficult to picture a catastrophe as horrifying as that of the Emrzire Hotel fire, in connection with any one of our poorly equipped school bulldings.

The author of order No. 19 is the guilty man. Maj. Waller said it was Gen. Smith; Gen. Smith declines the Gishonor and refers to Gen. Chaffee; Gen. Chaffee turns up order No.. 100. , This is an order issued in 1863 during our civil 80 provides that when the enemy disregards the laws of civilized War, @ commander may retort in kind. There wasn't any use for the order 1861-65, southern and northern soldiers observed the tions were trifling and immediately corrected by the commancers on either side. But the order comes in handy now. We are fighting savages, say Waller and Smith and Chatfee (there is plenty of testimony to the contrary, but let that pass); we are tighting savages, say they, and, of course, we must descend to the level of the enemy. More and more clearly it is seen that this is inevitable. And the real question before the American people is not “how shal! At last war. Article because both The excep- responsible in code. the war be conducted?” but “shall we continue the war at all?” i Mayor Jones of Toledo sentenced a lot of ‘‘plain drunks before him while he was on the police court bench to The sentence is a capital can be made to stick even for 30 days. = = = i i A CULTURED MIND AND SKILLFUL HAND. In his letter acknowledging receipt of the prizes awarded by the Post-Dispatch for best essays written on civic beauty by the pupils of his school, Principal E. D. Luckey says: “In presenting these bills to the young people, I dwelt upon the enterprise of your paper in attempting to lift St. Louls— from a civic standpoint—out of the slough of despond, closing by calling attention to the pupils that these two essayists had prob- ably earned their first money by the use of the capital that the schools desire to give every child—a cultured mind and a skill- ful hand.’ Mr. Luckey could not have stated the purpose of the public Schools more happily. Civic beauty is a refiection of the beauty which is first in the Character of the citizens, a fruit of the cultured mind and skill- ful hand. . it all goes back to education. The city where the best men and ' brought men’ if it “be one ‘Women live is the greatest city, and the best men and women are the products of the best system of public education. —ooo—__ —__-_- —_ A temperance journal finds that in the dispensary South Caro- lina has an enormous, well intrenched, law-breaking saloon sys- tem, and that at no point is it anything but a failure in the promotion of temperance. ‘It has been a corrupting influence in politics and is “a running sore in the vitals of the civic body.” = = — a } PLAYING BALL FOR POSTERITY.

The girls think they play ball for fun. But that is a mistake. They play for the benefit of their children and children’s children io the last generation. It might be well, however, when the girls play ball to surround the ground with a high board fence and keep men out. Circult Attorney Folk deserves success in his effort to secure Kratz He has conducted an able and energetic eampaign to that end. At this writing there seems hope of success. Certainly the people of St. Louls will be glad to see the boodler brought to justice. = = _ a ae GENTLEMEN IN THE NAVY. When Petty Officer Morgan aspired to a commission Admiral remcnstrated on the ground that the enlisted officer had not the training needed for a naval officer. Morgan was a very good fellow, but not quite a gentleman. That was the sum of the admiral’s recommendation and Morgan didn't get his promotion. The ficers in that is, they Sampson social is recalled by the arrest of certain commissioned of- Venice. These were gentlemen, according to Sampson, were trained at Annapolis and had been taught how to conduct themseives properly. But did they? The Venetians think not. They painted the town red, they made Venice howl, they tore up furniture, threw wine glasses around and generally conducted themselves like buffoons and ruffians. And the worst of it was that they bragged of their connection with the American navy and Yelied upon the fact to deliver them from the butt end of Venetian law. In his letter to the secretary of the ravy Admiral Sampson said, “It is submitted that in time of peace the navy’s function consists, to a large extent, of representing the country abroad, and it is important that the navy’s representatives should be of, at least, refinement.’’ He expressed a fear that men promoted from the lower ranks might be guilty of conduct which “might not redeund to the credit of the navy or the country which the navy represents.” Well, the officers of the Chicago did not reflect credit upon their country and they certainly disgraced the navy. The public interest requires their dismissal from the service.

Of all the ravages of the beef trust, none has wrought such havoc in Boston or brought such consternation to her citizens as the incidental influence it has had in raising the price of beans. Reposing serenely in fancied security, confident of a never fail- ing suppiy of the succulent and brain-building bean, said old Buston was Eappy in spite of the outrageous price tags on beef, but she woke the other morning to find her mainstay of physical and intellectual life cut off.

One of the elephants with Ringling Bros’. circus, who is called “‘Sandy,’’ is a regular practical joker. When the Ringlings trav- eled Vy wagon an extra watch had to be kept on Sandy to keep him out of mis- chief. He had found out that cattle out in the country were scared to death of him, and he used to take advantage of it every time he got a chance. When the wagon train was moving from town to town he saw a bunch of steers grazing in a pasture behind a barn in the distance he would drop behind the rest of the column. Then he would gather up as much dust in his trunk as he could carry and make a sneak upon them in the cover of the barn When he got within charging distance he would tear dut on the run, blow the dust up in a cloud, and trumpet for all he was worth The cattle would run as if satan @ere after them, and Sandy would come back to the rvad and paddle one behind the rest of the column as peaceable and qulet as you please But if they stopped him from plaving his little joke on the steers he would be mean and ugly for a week.

Messrs. Horton and Markham indorsed Mr. Hornshy'’s views. Mr. Boyce introduced a bill making it a — to spit in public places.

ENGLAND IS WELL SUPPLIED LARGE PROPORTION OF ITS MEAT IS AMERICAN. Packers’ Appetite Has Been Whetted by Growing Trade Recently Until They Now Hope to Control Foreign Supply. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1902, by Press Pvblishing Co.) LONDON, May 3.—Is the Beef Trust starving Ameriea to feed Europe? Are 16.000.000 Amercan families belng com- pelled to eat dinners without meat in or- der that the “Big Six’’ of Chicago may cap- ture the meat business of the world? It is a startling fact, which up to the present time has been overloked in the United States, thet last year foreign coun- tries took from the United States 2,005,242,- 509 pounds of beef and pork. The beef and pork products exported from American ports amounted to the enormous sum of $187,555,915. This wovld have been sufficient to supply every family in the United States witn year. It is a fact known to in 1901 the beef trust shipped pounds of meat more to fore countries than it had sent away the year before. s growing trade seems to have whetted the trust's etite for. An English wholesale meat dealer de- clared several years that the price of meat was decided in London every marn- ing by the American dealers. This was never so absolutely the case as it is at the present time. If all the anfmals that are America’ for the London market every year were to march past in one long proces- sion, there would be seven miles of calves, nine miles of hogs, 72 miles of cattle and 120 miles_of sheep. London has 1750 putchers, and there is not one of them who does not sell Ameri- can meats. Smithfield is the chief meat market of London and is the largest meat shop in the world. Under its roof of iron and glass there are nearly four acres of meat stalls. In the building tens of thousand of car- casses are hung and a large proportion of them are imported from America. Adjoining the Smithfield’ market is the “pork, poultry and provision market.” Taken together, these two buildings cov- er an area of five acres. If combined, they would make a building as wide as a St. Louis block and about five times as long. This enormous meat market is dependent for its main supply upon the hogs and cat- tle that are raised by the farmers of the states, and it is only one of many meat murkets which the ambitious meat trust is endeavoring to get under its control, and which it is supplying at the cost of the American public. WORKINGMEN EAT TOO MUCH Beef Trust Agent Says - Appetites Exceed Their Re- sources, Special to the Post-Dispatch, HOUSTON, Tex., May 3.—George Marr, local agent for Armour & Co., in an inter- view on the beef trust, which he denied, British deaiers that 15,200, 000 men. of Houston: “Their appetites don’t sult their resources. The laborer of England is contented with the soup bone and porridge, and craves for nothing more, while the average negro and poos white man in the state, with a wage of 2 or $3 a day, wants porterhouse, demands porterhouse and, in the past, has. been able to get porterhouse because the market was easy and within reach of his purse.”’ KNOX WILL PASS ON BILL.

Cloth, $1.20 net; postage, 12 cents additienal. The story that Dr. Hosmer tells of the acquisition of the Western empire in- cluded in the Louisiana Purchase pro- semts fresh and picturesque phases of a mos) important historical event of pe*cu- liar and timely interest, in view of the anniversary which comes next year. He pictures the vague and curious ideas of the Louisiana country held by most Americans one hundred years ago, and the objections to this form of expansion. He treats the changes in the ownership of the territory from France to Spain, and again to France, and he develops fully the purposes and acts of Jefferson and the American Commissioners in Paris. D.
