TRIAL PLACE NOT NAMED ATTORNEYS GIVEN UNTIL MON- DAY TO AGREE ON COUNTY. If They Cannot Agree the Court Will Make Designation Him- self. Judge O'Neill Ryan at 1:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon granted Ed Butler a change of venue. / He announced that he would give the attorneys until Monday .to agree on a county to which they might send the case. If the attorneys cannot agree on a county Judge Ryan will make the se- lection himself. Lawyers say he may send the case to any of the one hundred and fourteen counties in the state. In the course of his argument urging that a change of venue be granted, Gov. Johnson stated that he thought the de- fendant could secure a fair trial at Ironton, Mo., situated about 50 miles from St. Louis. In his remarks from the bench in grant- ing the change of venue, Judge Ryan re- ferred to the famous “Fee, Fee, Fee’’ inter- view in the Post-Dispatch. He said that the evidence showed that the prejudice against Butler dated back a long time, but that it was strengthened by this interview. The testimorry indicated, the court said, that many persons after reading this in- terview came to the conclusion that But- Jer was ony and that he had told the truth in the interview and confirmed sus- picions that they had already held. Circuit Attorney Folk began his argument in opposition to the motion for a change of venue in the Butler trial by reciting the origin of the jury system. He told how the jury originally consisted of men who had witnessed the crime and the witnesses of persons who had not. Later, Mr. Folk said, the arrangement» Was reversed and carried to the opposite extreme. Under the British law, he said, men were sent to remote parts of the king- dom, sometimes to the colonies, for crimes committed in England. In the United States, Mr. Folk said, the ehange of. venue iap.,.was .placed on.-the. statute books in the interest of defendants in remote districts, where every one would talk of a crime and no one could be found Without a settled opinion on the case. “The change of venue law was never in- tended,” Mr. Folk declared ‘‘for a great city like St. Louis. The city has a jury list of 45,000 persons. The statutes say the defendant is not entitled to a change of venue unless it can be shown that he can not get a fair trial in St. Louls.”’ NO INDIGNATION MEETING. Mr. Folk commented on the fact that there had been no public indignation meet- ings. There was no general feeling mani- fested as to the case before the court, but that the people generally were, to a certain extent, apathetic concerning it. Mr.@Folk cited references to show that newspaper comments, which the defense “*had dragged inte evidence, had no bearing as far as proving public sentiment against Butler. They are simply evidences of the personal opinions of the writers, Mr. Folk said. None of the witnesses who testified against Butler, Mr. Folk declared, said anything about the charge on which Butler was indicted, or said that they knew anything or heard anybody else say they knew anything about that particular charge. Mayor Wells was the first witness. “(9i,° Butler left his seat in the prisoner’s dock and took a seat in the jury box to hear the mayor testify. “You mingle and associate largely with citizens of St, Louis, do you?’ inquired Mr. Folk. ‘Yes,’ was his honor’s reply. “T will ask you, Mr. Wells, if you have found any feeling in St. Louis that the de- fendant should be convicted without re- gard to evidence?” ‘Tt have not.” “And you have talked with all clarses of people in the city?” “T have.” “That is all,’ said Mr. Folk. “Well, Mayor Wells,” said Judge Krum, “have you ever heard it broached anywhere that Edward Butler should be convicted re- gurdiess of evidence?” “No, I have not,” said the mayor. “That's. all,” said Judge Krum. and the mayor left the stand and the room. F. BR. O'NEILL CALLED. Frank R. O'Neill, assistamt business manager of the Post-Dispatch, foliowed Wells on the stand. After explain- oe’ bis business connection, Mr. O'Neil Was asked by Mr. Folk: “You have circulated freely with the peo- le, Mr. O'Neill; have you heard any feel- ng expressed that Mr. Butier should be convicted regardless of the evidence in this se?" ot have not,”’ was the reply. Judge Krum then took the witness. “You have observed,” said Judge Crum, “that there is a strong feeling against Ed- ward Butler in this community, have you ee , I have. | ianees feeling amounts to prejudice, does t not?” Le 7 . I think It does.” - Then Judge Krum took Friday's Post- tech, containing a full account of yes- ay’s court proceedings and submitted to Mr. O'Neill for identification. “This feeling of prejudice against Mr. utier (hat you spcrr of.’ said Mr. Folk. ‘ls th t fouled updén this case or not?’ : “I pine not Rather upon Mr. But- li career " Ryan took a hand in the question- 4 vas AES 7 Sar Brash CARDINALS LOSI THE FIRST GAME And Wicker Was in the Box, Too. WHITE PITCHED FOR PHILLIES he Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, June 7.—The Philadel- phia and St. Louis National League clubs met in a double-header this afternoon and notwithstanding the threatening weather a good bunch of the ever faithful turned out to witness the bargain day event. They were the second and third games of the series. Based on yesterday's contest, Manager Shettsline of the local team is pleased with the showing of the young Quakers, while on the other hand Manager Donovan of the Cardinals is somewhat dis- appointed over the inefficient way which his men played yesterday. Indeed Donovan has read the riot act to his players. He says the team is capable of playing better ball and they must de- liver the goods or suffer the consequences. Batting order: St. uls.

Brashear Anticipated a Col- lision From This Cause. Tihrty-five persons were injured in a col- lision between car No. 186 of the Clayton branch of the Suburban electric line and en- gine No. 265 of the Missouri Pacific at the surface crossing at Brentwood, St. Louls County this morning. a The fireman and engineer of the railroad train were both injured. Three of the injured persons are women, but all of them escaped serious injury. WOMAN'S ESCAPE. »> Miss Amelia Gross of Kirkwood had a particularly narrow escape, having been thrown through the trap door in the floor|f of the electric car by the force of the collision, There were no physicians at hand when); §& the ccllision occurred and it was 20 muin- utes, passengers say, before the injured received medical attention. A majority of the victims were able to go in search of doctors themselves. Residents of Brent- wood. carried the others to convenient r until physicians arrived. The collision occurred at 6:45 o'clock. The Suburban car, in charge of Motorman Leiden and Conductor William Bolt, and/¢ started from Kirkwood at 6:20 and was due at DeHodiamont at 7:0 o'clock.

The single track of the Creve branch of the Missouri Pacific through Brentwood from east to west. The first west-bound morning accommodation is due at Brentwood just about 6:45 o'clock. It steamed into Brentwood from the east Saturday morning—the engine pulling two cars—just as the Suburban car, with Mo- torman Leiden on the platform, came thundering along from the south. The few residents of Brentwood who happened to be watching noticed that the car’s spoed was not diminishing as it ap- proached the crossing, although the mo- torman was tugging desperately at the brake. PASSFNGERS SAW TRAIN. The passengers in the front part of the car noticed the train and some of them rose from their seats and started for the rear of the car. They knew that he had difficulty in stopping the car at previous stations and they feared the could not man- age the brake at this critical juncture. The engine had the right of way at the crossing and the engineer, apparently un- mindful of the motorman’s plight, began to “slow up,” as cuscomary. The result was that the engin most to a standstill across the tracks. There is an incline of twenty-five feet south of the railroad track and the Subur- ban car came down this declivity with un- usual speed. MOTORMAN REMAINED. Motorman Leiden stuck to his post the last, but his efforts were unavailing. The front of the car was jammed against the side of the big engine with such ter- rific force that it pushed the iron monster off the track. The engine, though derailed, ran a short distance, and the Suburban car was swung around with its rear trucks in its own tracks, but with its front end resting against the side of the rear car of the train. None of the passengers had succeeded in jumping from the car before the collisidn occurred, owing to the speed at which it was traveling. All were jarred and fright- ened. : Almost every one of them was cut Dy flying glass or thrown against a door, window or seat in such @ manner as to sustain painful injuries. The injuries of a majority of the passengers were slight, however, and they hastily set about to rescuo the less fortunate. They found the motorman pinned againat | his controller. out of his painful to the home, = raat had been fractured by the engine or & portion of his own car against which he was thrown.

Mountain First Showed Signs of Rest- lessness After the Earthquake That Killed Thousands and Ruined Many Towns. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, June 7.~—The steamer Polena, from Central American points, brings news of the destruction of Retal- buten, Gautemala, and 1000 of its inhabi- tants by an eruption of Mount Tacona. The town nestled at the foot of the moun- tain, which had shown little signs of ac- tivity umil the earthquake of April 18, which destroyed several towns and killed thousands of persons. The volcano is about 25 miles from Cham- panies. near the town of Tapachulo, which, t is believed, also suffered severely. After that catastrophe, however, ominous clouds of smoke, illuminated constantly by brilliant flashes of lightning, poured from its crater. The inhabitants saw these manifestations of restlessness with great alarm, but few of them fled the scene. The exact date of the eruption is not known, but it was near that of the destruc- tion of St. Pierre by Mont Pelee. The voleano had apparently became quiet just before the climax. Suddenly, without warning explosions, the top was blown off and a tornado of gas, rock and java was hurled upon the town. Nearly everybody in the town was caught in the ruins. The Bay of Champanico was full of vol- canic debris, which floated like wood and through which the Polena plowed its way. Other volcanoes in Guatemala have been restless since the earthquake and probably will explode. VISIT SOUFFRIERE’S CRATER GEORGETOWN, St. Vincent, June Three Americans were the first persons to climb La Souffriere after the eruption and look into its crater. . They are Edmund O. Hovey, assistant curator of the American Museum of Na- tional History; Dr. Thomas Augustus Ja- ser, assistant geologist of the United ent Geological Survey, and George C. Curtis All had looked into the crater of Mont Pelee from the volcano’s summit. All say that what they saw on La Souf- friere was more impressive of the terrible destructive energy of the volcano then anything on Mont Pelee. A cone of rock piled up in Pelee’s crater during the eruption obstructs tha mouth of the crater and destroys the impressicn of its depth. It is different with La Souffriere. The gases and steam have blown out the earth under the crater to the depth of 2000 feet or more. The gaping wound in the volcano’s top spreads over a cOnsiderable area. It is much larger than the opening on Pelee’s top. which is 600 feet long and 15v feet, wide. The intense heat and sulphurous gases from the volcano’s interior have made meas- urements impossible. The party had great difficulty in ascend- ae La Souffriere. housands of small fissures on the moun- tain side spit steam and choking sulphur- cus gases. The heat also is intense. new crater has formed near the old. There are signs of renewed activity every- where and the scientists say another out- break from Souffriere may be expected. The sea around the island is disturbed, giving signs of submarine upheavals. BARRETT AT JAPANESE COURT. Emperor Shows Great Interest in the World’s Fair.

Coffee almost kills some people before they are willing to admit that coffee is really the cause of the trouble. Yet it is easy to break off the habit, providing Postum Coffee, well boiled, is served in its place. A lady says: “After coffee drinking had become a habit with me I experienced a sense of faintness in the stomach with lassitude and dullness of the mind. This was accompanied with severe pains in the region of my liver. Gradually my health failed and I be- came thin and a nervous wreck, having sick headaches every day. Then insom- nia set in and I suffered for four years such torments as those who have been wy the experience know of. At night I would grow so nervous over the continual distress in my stomach that } would imagine hundreds of little red devils had strings attached to the back of my stomach and were trying to pull it out. I was compelled, at times, to take laudanum to relieve the distress and cramps. This condition lasted with some varia- tion for about three years. I tried various physicians and finally was advised to try leaving off coffee: this I theught could not be done. I was finally induced to give up coffee and use Postum and I be- gan to get well. When I recovered and thought I was well enough to go back to coffee-again I tried it, but after using it a short time the old stomach trouble came back and I threw the balance of the coffee in the stove. There has never been a grain of the old fachioned coffee in the house since and never will be as long as I am running it. Postum Coffee is delicious when made according to directions and served hot with good cream and some sugar. The whole family use it and enjoy it greatly.

Mr. Lee testified that he was a member of half a dozen prominent clubs, and that he mingled and associated with the citizens of St. Louis. “I have found no feéling that the de- fendant should be convicted irrespective of evidence,’’ said Mr. Lee, in reply to Mr. Kolk's question. “You are aware. are you not, Mr. Lee?” inquired Judge Krum, “that there is a strong feeling against Mr. Butler?’’ “Yes, but I would like to add in expla- nation that this is the outgrowth of his connection with politics.” Judge Ryan suid: “Mr. Lee, the court would Iike for you to explain this feeling against Mr. Butler, aaa e is regarded, favorable or unfavor- a ae ‘bie is regarded unfavorably in politics, regardless of party, because of his corrupt and partisan methods. He is a type of par- tisan politician and as such is, condemned by men .-of both parties. Personally I be- lieve he is regarded with favor and has may personal friends.’’ “These particular cases,’’ said Mr. Folk, “have you heard them discussed much?’’ “Il have not.”’ EVIDENCE NECESSARY. Joseph M. Evans, a warehouse proprietor, and John H. Roth, a wholesale grocer, were next examined, and both said they had found no feeling that Butler should be con- victed on general principles. The time allowed to the state expired at 11:30, after Mr. Evans’ testimony, but Judge Ryan allowed more witnesses to be called. Frank N. Johnson, a director of the Sim- mons Hardware Co., after answering the circuit attorney's routine questions, was taken in hand by Judge Krum. “Are you a good shot?’’ Judge Krum asked Johnson abruptly, recalling ihe days of the sheriff's possSe. “IT am, but I don’t shoot myself, accident- ally,’’ said Mr. Johnson. WILLIAM ENDERS A WITNESS. William Enders, traffic manager of the Simmons Hardware Co., said he had not heard the question of public sentiment re- garding the Butler case broached. H. F. Hubbard, house salesman of the Simmons Hardware Co., said he had heard of no feeling for Butler’s convicyion, and had not heard ihe case discuss to any extent. F. W. Jones, department manager of the Cupples Woodenware Co., said he knew of no popular feeling on the Butler case. A. Ww. Douglas, secretary of the Sim- mons Hardware Co., was asked how many men are employed by the company. “About 1900.” was the ahswer. “Did you ever try to find Bey feeling on this case?’ Judge Krum asked. “There has been a great deal of general discussion about those who are accused of boodling, 'y all with whom I talked said he could g@ a fair trial in St. Louis. “Of course, there isn’t any prejudice against Butler?’ Yes, a strong prejudice against him and his acts.’ While. cross-questioning Mr. Dougias, Judge Krum held in_ his hand a copy 0 the famous ‘‘Fee,"’ ‘‘Fee,’”’ ‘Fee interview with Butler, published in the Post-Dis- patch. - Stephen Sheldon, buyer for. the Cupples Woodenware Co., was asked by udge Krum: aes , “Did you ever hear that this indictmen against Butler was pol vo ape paewve wee ulema ition of his distinguished services : ey aid not,” rep ied Mr. Sheidon, 4 excused. ‘ae 11:80, after Mr. Sheldon’s testimony, Cireuit Attorney Folk announced the con- clusion of the states testimony.

Blair Says He Knows of None. ‘ARE HIS — LIPS SEALED AT LEAST HE CAN’T REVEAL EX- ECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S ACTION. eens Prior to Committee’s Meeting Mr. Blair Said the Decision in Condemna- tion Proceedings Was Vic- tory for the Fair. Since the announcement, following the meeting of the executive committee of the world’s fair organization Tuesday, that no new suits would be filed immediately against the owners of the property ad- Joining the world’s fair site on the north, there have been rumors in real estate and financial circles that the world’s fair representatives were conferring with the property owners with a view of purchasing a portion of the Catlin tract at a figure in excess of what they had ever before expressed a willingness to pay. James L. Blair, general counsel for the World’s Fair organization, stated to the Post-Dispatch Saturday morning that no such transaction had been concluded. “If there is such a deal on foot, I am not aware of it,”’ he said. “Mr... Blair said he was not at liberty to discuss what transpired at the meeting of the exposition executive committee Tuesday afternoon. “If I were,"’ said Mr. Blair. “TI would have answered in writing at once the editorial in the Post-Dispatch on the subject.”’ The meeting was held after the decision of the Circuit Court refusing to condemn the Catlin tract for fair purposes. Prior to the meeting Mr. Blair stated that he con- strued the decision as virtually favoring the World's Fair organization's position in the controversy, and intimated that other suits of a similar nature might’ be filed. After the meeting it was announced that no new suits would be filed at once, but that all the trees on the fair site would be cut down to secure the additional room neces- gary. The Post-Dispatch editorial referred to by Mr. Blair was a protest against the de- struction of these park trees.

Shown in His Replies When Honors Were Tendered Him. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. PARIS, June 7.~The Rochambeau cele- bration has revived the charming story of how the great man was admitted into the Legion of Honor. The order was instituted by Napoleon 100 years ago. The first great council] of the Legion unanimously decided to send the old hero a letter of admission, bu Rochambedu by a gesture refused it, beg- ging that it be conferred on his son, Gen. ochambeau, who was defending at that time Martinique, against the English. Time passed. When, Napoleon was crowned emperor he recalled the great services of the ancient court and distribut- ed several grades of the Legion. He re- membered the marshal and sent him a brevet of grand office with a letter in- forming him that by his rank of ancient marshal of France he conferred on him this grade without making him pass by the inferior grades. The old marshal this time accepted. He was for that matter in bed in his property of Rochambeau, and she wrote on this occasion these beauti- ful and simple words} ‘In the device of the cross is and Native Land.’ I have always fessed these sentiments with loyalty ing my military career.”’ FRENCH CABINET COMPLETED.

JUNIORS ARE VERY DEFICIENT WITH “NOT CORRECT FORM” THEM TO BE “KEEN.” Schools Are Criticised, Adoption of the Merit System Is Urged and Bane of Social Influence Is Point- ed Out. LONDON, June 7.—The report of the com- mittee-of military education and training, issued today, furnishes the strongest offi- cial corroboration of the inefficiency of the officers of the British army. The com- mittee’s report, which is based on the evi- dence of the officers themselves, from the commander-in-chief downwards, fills 48 printed pages with caustic criticism of the existing system. The witnesses were unanimous in saying that the junior officers were lamentably deficient in. military knowledge, the desire to acquire knowledge and in zeal. The committee finds that the young offl- cers will not work unless compelled to do so, that ‘‘keenness is out of fashion’ and that ‘“‘it is not correct form.’ The commit- tee declares that many officers do not pos- sess an elementary education, and plain- tively protest that officers ought ‘‘at least to be able to express themselves clearly and concisely in their own language.”’ The report condemns the systems of both Woolwich and Sandhurst, where education is “far from satisfactory, the instructors having no inducement to teach the cadets, still less to work.” With the view of diminishing the ex- penses of officers belonging to cavalry reg- iments, the report recommends that polo tournaments, regimental coaches and the keeping of hounds be forbidden. Perhaps the penultimate paragraph is the most important of all. ' “So long as mediocrity is permitted to pass muster,’ says one of «he committee, ‘and signal ability meets with no sub- stantial recognition, {t is useless to hope for any valuadie results from verbal amendments to the regulations. Nothing but indpcements in the shape of certain reward /for good. work, either in peace or war, can raise the standard of knowledge through the commissioned ranks.’’ The committee, therefore, recommends an ‘“*honest system of promotion by merit, for- lowing upon tests honestly conducted and honestly reported on.”’ The report plainly hints that officers can hardly be expected to work so long as the present system of advancement, through social influence, is in vogue, or so long as efficiency has nothing whatever ‘o do with the selection of officers for desirable appointments. The committee recommends, among other things, that more commissions be offered to the colonies and that officers be com- pelled to know efther French or German. COSTLY JOKE FOR MR. TWAIN Assessor HaNearly Doubled Taxes on His Home During Stay in Missouri. NEW YORK, June 7.—While Mark Twain has been renewing old associations in St. Louis, his taxes on his home have been nearly doubled. Mr. Clemens recently bought the Capt. Casey place at Tarytown for $47,500, with the intention of making it his permanent home.. Tax assessors never bothered him, and although grievance day was duly ad- vertised no one appeared for Mr. Clemens before the board on Tuesday when protests were received. The Casey place was originally assessed at §80,000, and despite the fact that Mr. Clemens paid only $47,500 for it the as- sessors only reduced the assessment $10,000. He is down on the books as estate worth $70,000 in Tarrytown. The as- sessors have kept the assessment quict, and the “Twain joke’ has just leaked out. Mr. Clemens will probably not see the ‘‘joke,”’ for he will have to pay a tax on the new figure this year, as the time has passed when it can be remedied. MAYFIELD WAS READY.

POSSESSES OPSCHESOEOS eS ° PUGILISTIC GOSSIP. > > “ “ COOOL OOOO OO OSS Jack O'Brien, the Philadelphia middle- weight, knocked out Al Nell of San Fran- cisco in the third round of a scheduled six- round affair at Chicago last night. Neil was outclassed in every way, and was bleeding freely from nose and mouth be- fore the fight had progressed a minute. O'Brien's straight lefts seemed to find Nell’s face continually. In the second round it became apparent that it was only a ques- tion of time until he went down and out. He was floored twice in this interval, and came for the third in bad _—. While staggering from the effects of repeated punishment, O’Brien reached his jaw with a right and it was all off. Abe Axtell and Young Corbett have been again matched, according to Associated Press reports from Denver. The weight is a trifle more than that allowed Corbett in their alleged previous encounter. Much criticism of Corbett’s failure to live up to his first agreement to meet Attell has passed about the press of the country, and Corbett's rematching with Attell was prob- ably due to fear of ridicule. It is stated that the fire and police board have been moved to permit the holding of the bout in Denver. Tommy Dixon of Chicago, who was ar- rested at Boston on May 23, following the death of Tommy Noonan, whom ixon knocked out in a boxing contest at Chelsea, Mass., was discharged from custody today.

FRENCH REPORTS WERE BAD The Usual Saturday Dullness Char- acterized the Trading in Grains on the St Louis Market ‘The grain markets opened higher than Friday’s close, wheat opening at 70%c, 4c above Friday's closing price. This was due to Liverpool's higher closing and to reports of wet weather in France and continued wet weather in the West. Corn also opened %c above Friday's clos- ing quotation, at 61%c. This was due to heavy country movements and to the big shorts trying to cover. The wheat murket was steady on unfa- vorable French news and a belief that the movement of new wheat has been matc-~ rially retarded owing to wet weather. At the close the opening price was asked. Paris cables that the outlook for wheat is apparently favorable. This is believed to be deceptive. as the wet weather con- tinues throughout France. The weather map showed a general show- ery condition everywhere Northwest, West and Southwest, except in Texas and Okla- homa. It was raining at 7 a. m. at Des Moines and Kansas City. The West and Southweast are getting a great deal of rain. The situation is not et critical, but in a fortnight more it will e so if such weather continues, The Commercial West says: All condi- tions have continued favorable for the growing crops. South Dakota wheat pros- ects are brilliant; wheat seeding in North akota was completed last week; consider- able land in the Red River Valley was still too wet to seed. Early sown wheat is lookK- ing fairly well. Chetopa, Kan., wired that it is raining patmonaney f there, that no wheat has been harveste and the outlook was very gloomy. Liverpool closed 3-8d higher, at 6s 1d; corn %d up, at 5 4d. HEAT. Paris opened 1@i\%c higher; flour 14@ 1%4c up. The cloge was, wheat 1@l’ec higher; flour %@l%c higher.

WASHINGTON, June 7.—The President today had a long conference at the White House with Senator Hanna on the coal etrike. The President conveyed to Mr. Hanna the idea that he would like very much to do something towards settling the strike. Nothing definite, however, was decided on. The President also sent for Carroll D. Wright, the commissioner of labor, to get his views on the subject, and also as to what might properly be done by the gov- ernment looking to a settlement of the dif- ficulty. It is probable that other conferences will be held. and the President kept advisred of the situation.

Kentucky Court Fears to Try Case Be- cause of Threats. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LEXINGTON, Ky., June 7—John H. Johns, an attorney for Thomas Cockrell, charged with murdering Ben Hargis at Jackson, Ky., several months ago, reports a reign of terror at Jackson as a result of the tragedy. Johns says the court and bar of Jackson are in terror over threats on both sides of the Cockrell and Hargis factions; that Judge Redwine refused to act on the appli- cation for a change of venue because of fear of his own life and the lives of others. Two other attorneys were elected to pre- side as special judge, but each refused to act for fear of his life. Governor Beckham has been appealed to and has the matter under advisement. Johns says the county is bordering on revolution and bloodshed is expected. DID ROOT SNUB GEN. MILES? Army Men Believe Veteran Was Not Invited to Gun Tests. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

WELL TO THE MISSISSIPPI. —_-_-—_—_ - er BOAT NAMED IN HIS HONOR Countess Rochambeau Christened City Harbor Boat Which He Steered for Fifteen Minutes. Mark Twain for fifteen minutes Friday presided at the wheel of the city harbor boat which later was’ christened in his honor by the Countess Rochambedau. During these fifteen minutes he guided the craft safely past the Chain of Rocks and for a mile farther up the Mississippi. It was the first time since 1830 that the world famous Missourian had been in a Mississippi river steamer pilot house and almost twice as long since he had acted as a pilot. Dr. Clemens seemed to enjoy the experi- ence hugely. “That is the last time I will ever play pilot,” he said, seriously, as he descended from the pilot house. Dr. Cleniens, with the Count and Countess Rochambeau and the members of their par- tv. was the guest on the city harbor boat t Mayor Wells and the city officials and ident Francis and the World's Fair of- ficials jointly. The boat had been in the city service for several years without a name, and the visit of Mark Twain to St. Louis sug- gested a name for it to Mayor Wells. Countess Agreed to Christen It. In accepting an invitation to make the trip on the boat, the Countess Rocham- beau also agreed to preside at the christen- ing of the craft in honor of the most fa- mous man ever connected with Mississippi river steamboating. It was shortly after the guests went aboard the then unnamed craft and Pilot Matt Tully started her up the river that Dr. Clemens, in response to requests of the other guests, eee or a Ts pilot house relieved the regular pilot. — anvith his hat on the back of his head and the breeze playing with his frosted locks, Mark Twain seized the wheel and turned it to the right and left as he did in his routh. j He did it carefully and with husiasm. He shouted a call from the pilo house and a deckhand below lowered a line into much en- “NO ROCHAMBEAU TELLS ROSE ¥ In the Land of the Polite, the Countess’ Home, Such Persons Are Called the Maidens Who Comb St. Catherine’s Hair. BY ROSE MARION. ““Les filles qui coifter Sainte Catherine’ are right. I do not blame them. A woman should not marry unless the mah is her cholce’’—opinion of Madame la Comte, de Rochambeau when asked concerning the unmarried women of France. Her people are too courteous to have a literal synonym for “oid maids; instead they call these persons the maidens who get Catherine’s hair. adame la Comtesse was earnest when she said this tying > glen day in her rose decked parlor at the Planters’. Her dark Stay eyes shone and her slender hands gesticulated. We had been talking of the life of the French wom- an as compared with that of the Ameri- can. French Woniten Always “At Homie.” “I cannot say which I like the best,"’ she said, but not in those prosaic words. Ah, no, In her own freely-flowing expres- sive French—each word a gesture in it- self. “Of course I like your Way now. Your people have rédeived me so kindly that I cannot help from liking your coun- try. Our life-is so different. With us French women it is always ‘chez noudé.’”’ (“Chez nous” {gs French for at home.) ‘We are at home for breakfast, for dinner and throughout the day.” La Comtesse was éontrasting the pro- nounced family life of the French with the outdoor, democratic, happy-go-lucky ex- istence that is ours. Of course, I xp ms to know about the rearing of girls according to the Frénch idea. Apropos of Shirtwaists, . “That, too, is very different In this coun- try; you give your gifls much liberty— with us it is not that way. I think your way is best for America, put our fashion is best for France.” “Our dress and yours are not quite the same?’’ “Not quite. You advance in some direc- tios, while we go in others.” ‘““@ Parisian of my acquaintance told mo, madame, that the women of your country MME.

Only we have them made much nicer, then, of pretty stuff and with trimming.” To talk of dress with this French woman was a treat of the gods. She seemed to pet the very words that told of beautiful cos- tumes, rich decoration, and, above all, per- fection of fit. Madame was in negligee during our con- versation—a charming yellow and black creation that did not slouch about her fig- ure, but held to it in graceful lines until I wondered if negligee could be the word. Her haif was dressed for the evening recep- tion—colled high with a wavy pompadour and intertwined with two great roses, The Countess Like a Vision. She was pleasing this way, but earlier in the évening I had another picture of La Comtesse that you Must see. I had been sitting in the little reception room for what seemed an interminable time, wonder- ing if countesses ever came home from things.

She, the heiress of her uncle, Don Jose Carber, the wealthy sugar plant- er and exporter of St. Pierre, now has no uncle, an@ there is nothing to inherit. The eruption of Mont Pelee did it all. The young woman is one of Manager Kingsbury’s forces appearing at Delmar Garden. Last night she did not appear. Shortly before the curtain went up a cable- gram from a kinsman living at Ponce, Porto Rico, was handed her. It bore the informa- tion that all hope that Senor Carber had survived the destruction of St. Pierre had been given up. Miss Carber was so over- come by the news of her uncle’s death that she was unable to sing. The actress comes of a Spanish family well known in the West Indies, and was to have been the heiress of her uncle, one of the leading citizens of St. Pierre. Only last Summer Miss: Carber visited her uncle at his plantation, just outside the city, and came back bronzed by the sun and bring- ing many souvenirs of her trip. “My uncle was a man of some 60 years,” said Miss Carber. ‘‘His wife was dead, and as he never had any children of his own, his heart turned* to me, the only child of his brother, who came to New York many years ago. “My uncle was considered wealthy in St. Pierre. He owned a large sugar plan- tation ontside the city, and, in addition, had a large exporting and importing busi- ness. His foreign office was in Bordeaux. He often told me I was to inherit all he possessed, but even if his will escaped the flames and lava, I am sure that all his nroperty has been destroyed. My oth- er uncle, who lives in Ponce, Porto Rico, has cab'ed me that he has no hope of his brother's escape.”’ Manager Kingsbury said last night that Miss Carber took the news very much to heart. “T have read letters from her uncle,”’ he said. ‘“‘Tney were very affectionate in tone, and I should judge that her hopes of a fortune were well founded.” ST, LOUIS GIRLS WHO RIDE ASTRIDE SEVERAL ARE SEEN IN FOREST PARK EVERY AFTERNOON. 7 3 “fl (ui PZ) > . * es - -' * Sf .

Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound come to the conclusion that it is the safest, the grandest and the most satisfactory medicine any sick woman can take. Life was a bur- den to me five years ago, I felt so miserable with female troubles and irregular menstruation ; to-day it is all different, for I am perfectly well Dozens of my lady friends join me in os oa praise. Yours, FLORENCE ATHERTON, 47 Hoyt St., Brooklyn, N. ¥.” ‘¢A Boston Woman’s Experience.” ‘“‘ Dear Mrs. Prnknam : —I cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound enough. I was a sick woman when I commenced to take it. My trouble was female disease, and I had pain in my back and sides. The doctor said I was going into consumption ; I had been married eight years, but had no children. I had some of the best doctors in the city, but none seemed to cure me, so I decided to take your medicine, and it has made me a new woman, and I now have a lovely little baby boy. I would advise all sick and weak women to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.” — Mrs. ALPHONSE CROKE, 18 Rockingham Place, Roxbury District, Boston, Mass.

The decision to take this action, according to the report, was made at a meeting of the board of directers, held Friday morning. Coupled with this fact was the statement made that W. J. Kinsella, a director, would become president of the bank. Mr. Kinsella is assertion. Capt. West. Friends of Gen. Miles have denied«the insinuations against him.

CORBIN STARTED INQUIRY. To Gen. Corbin, arch-enemy of Gen. Miles, is attributed much of the blame for the insinuation that Gen. Miles gave to Senator Culberson the Weir letter and West report. When it became known at the war de- partment that the renort had been given out. Gen. Corbin was the first to disavow any knowledge of the publicity. He made the disavowal for the adjutant general's office, the secretary of war's office and | the judge advocate general's office. 3ut he made no such avowal for the headquarters of the army, the only other department that in-any manner could have knowledge of the report. xen.

WASHINGTON, June Roosevelt has commissioned Richard G.

While Mr. Welling’s mission is not as startling nor his authority as sweeping as that conferred, upon Mr. Blount of Geor- gia by President Cleveland, when he: was sent to Honolulu, still Mr. Welling goes with full authority to investigate and re- port.

Comparatively speaking, not many ladies in St. Louis indulge in the de- lightful sport of horseback riding, but there are a few, and these young ladies may be seen any afternoon frolicking around the park and King’s highway In truly indepen- dent fashion. They ride astride, and most of the time sans hats. One beautiful young girl is a fearless horsewoman. She rides with her pretty blond eurls dancing in the sunshine. She is Miss Margaret Shields of 383) Delmar bou- levard. I heard her one afternoon challenge Mr. C. H. R. Davis, who delights in a ride on his fine bay, to a race. I asked Mr. Davis if he would accept. He said he had ynrom- ised Miss Shields that he would, although his hopes of being victor were nil, ag Miss Shields had always borne off the palm when racing with her friends. Mr. Davis said that these young ladie#* rode in the proper way, and that riding - astride for women was the only safe method. Another ver good horsewoman and equally as fearless as Miss Shields is Miss Jeanette Priest, daughter of Judge H. S. Priest, of 4320 Westminster Place. Miss Priest rides without a hat astride and keeps up a pretty pace with the dashing steeds of her friends. Notwithstanding the exposure to the sun, the young ladies have beautiful complexions, not at all freckled, and not tanned in the least. Other young ladies who sometimes join the riding party are Miss Hazel Garrison of Westminster Place, Miss Ellen Filley of Westmoreland Placé, Miss Francis Jones of Westminster Place and Miss Mildred Kupferle of 5215 Lindel) boulevard.

Mr Welling, according to the Post-Dis- patch’s informant, is vested with full power to make his investigation in a most thorough manner. He will make a thorough inqyiry into the conditions of the people in the Philippines and Hawaliian islands, with particular reference to their fitness for self-government. No mention of the designation of Mr. Welling’s mission has been made in official circles and only a few of the President's closest advisers know of it. It is expected that Mr. Welling will be engaged at least four months, and the re- sult of his mission will be used by the President in making recommendations to Congress concerning the future government of both the Philippines and Hawali, since it is the President's wish to be informed concerning the conditions in the Hawailan islands, hies of the United States. as well as the other Pacific colo- | One of these officers. who for obvious rea- sons cannot heave his name used, said: IN DEFENSE OF MILES. “The knout and the horrors of Siberia are no worse than, the tortures that have been applied to some of our little brown brothers in the Philippines. 3en, Miles has Knowledge of all these facts, and it is puerite for anybody to charge him with giving out a report containing so little when he could just as easily have given out one which would have shown the existence of conditions ten times worse.”’ At the headquarters of the army it is as- serted that the last time Gen.
