WAS IN PACKERS’ EMPLOY DECLARES HE SOLD UNHEALTHY HAMS TO PEDDLERS. Steinkamp, Now an Inspector, For- merly Worked for Nelson Morris and St. Louis Dressed Beef Company—Had Charge of the Cooler. At the Beef Trust inquiry Wednesilay Jo- seph Steinkamp, in answer to a yuestion put by Attorney Alexander New, represent- ing the JjJefense, declared that he was com- pelled to sell pad meat while working for the Nelson Morris and St. Louis Dressed Beer and Provision Co.'s. Mr. New had proceeded smoothly with the witness, and was apparently on safe ground when the question of selling meats came up. ‘You sold a great quantity of meat, did you not?” “I sold a great deal during three years,’’ the witness answered. “The meat was always in good condl- tion?’ “No, sir; not always.”’ “But you never sold any meat that was not all right?’ “Yes. I did very frequently.’’ “What?” ‘Well, I scld hama that were not fit for use.*” “To whom?’ SOLD TO PEDDLERS. ‘“‘Mostly to peddlers. The butchers as a rule bought fresh hams.”’ “Did vou not know that selling hams that were unfit for use was a violation of the law?’ asked the attorney, hotly. “I knew it was a violation of the law to do so.”’ “Then why did you do it?” ‘Well, because the hams were given to me to sell, and I was carrying out my duty when I disposed of them.” Steinkamp, who is now a 8&t. Louis meat inspector, stated that he was employed by Nelson. Morris & Co. In 1892, and worked there until October, 18%, when he quit for a year, resuming work in October, 18%. He worked steadily for Nelson, Morris until June, 1900, when he left to take a position with the St. Louis Dressed Beef and Pro- vision Co. He had charge of the cooler. HAMS NOT OF STANDARD GRADE Witness was asked to specify as to the sale of bad hams, by giving the names of those butchers or peddlers to whom he sold them. He replied that he did not recollect pee who they were at this time. Asked to refresh his memory, he said there was a man named Carter living on Jefferson avenue and a peddier named Aleck on Third street, near Chouteau, who bought bad hams from him. “Did these men know they were bad?’ asked the attorney. ‘They certainly did,’’ ‘They got them cheaper.” Steinkamp explained that were not marked as being grade; in fact, they did not contain any label at all. CROW AND NEW HAVE A TILT. “Did it never occur to you to refuse to sell bad hams?’’ “Well, it did and I stopped doing it my- self. Once when the meat inspectors got after us and watched us closely I stopped selling them." ‘Do you expect to go up and surrender yourself to the authorities after the ad- missions you have made here?’ Attorney-General Crowe objected vigor- ously, and was sustained. ‘Probably the statate of limitations ex- cludes any such action as that,”’ said Com- missioner Keinley. “No, it doesn't,”” said New, “because he says this offense was also committed in said Steinkamp. these hams | 1900."" Mr. New then began to handle the wit- ness roughby, and Attorney Crow cautioned him not to answer certain questions. ‘This is mere pottyfogyging.’’ was Crow's comm ent. “[ think your remark is very ungentle- manly,’’ rejoined New. “Well,' replied Crow, “I am not half as ungentiemanly as you have been. WBDver since this inquiry began at Jefferson City your attitude to me has been more or less ungentlemanly.”’ Judge Kinley interrupted: “That will do, gentlemen, let the inquiry proceed." “I will when Mr. Crow is ready to let me go on,’ egald Mr. New. PAINTED SAUSAGE AND PRICZES. In relation to the price schedule, Stein- kamp testified that there was an agree- ment between the “Big Four.” which in- cludes the Nelson, Morris & Co., Swift, Ar- mour and Cudahy. As manager of the cooler department at Nelson, Morris & Co., he compared his price list with that prepared by Swift ‘% Co. Every Wednesday he stated the repre- sentatives of the “Big Four’ held a meet. ing. and on the following day a scale of prices was gent to him.

CITES OPINION 400 YEARS OLD LORD COOK PLACES RISK ON AC- CEPTOR OF COIN. Counsel for the Plaintiff Argues That Times Have Changed—Legal Battle Over Bad Dollar Promises to Be Intense- ly Interesting. A single counterfeit dollar passed by @ sireet car conductor on a citizen of St. Louis has brought about a law suit in which an old degision by Lord Cook of Fing- land rendered #0 years ago, has been brought in as being effsctive in Missouri now. CONDUCTOR GAVE COUNTERFEIT. The suit was brought by Harry J. Cant- well, lawyer and mining promoter, and a reputed millionaire, against the St. Louls Traction Co. Edward D'Arecay, a lawyer. who shares offices with Mr. Cantwell, acted as his attorney. In his complaint Mr. Canute well sets forth that a few weeks ago he boarded a Laclede avenue car with only a $2 bill in his pocket, bound with two com- panions for one of the summer gardens. He gave the bill to the conducter in payment of the fares, and was handed back what he thought was $1.% in good money. On arriving at the garden entrance the @o!l- lar given by the conductor was refusal as being a counterfeft. Mr. Cantwell then ex- amined ‘t for the first time, and admitted the truth of the ticket seller's assertion. Next day Mr. Cantwell wrote the 8st.’ Louts Traction Co. of the happening. and asked that a “good, honest dollar’ be sent him in place of the bad one. He did not get it. He did, however. get a letter frém the traction company official asking for the number of the car on which he had ridden and the number of the conductor who gave him the bad dollar. Mr. Cantwell could give neither, as he has not been in the hab- it of making memoranda of such detalls on his street car trips. The traction company then refused to give a good dollar for the bad one, cialm- ing that In so doing the company would open the way to have all the bad dollars in town unloaded on it. HELD COMPANY RESPONSIBLE. Mr. Cantwell still contended he was enti- tled to a good Gollar, as the company, was responsible for the acts of its agents. He Decame angry at the attitude of the trac- tion people, and, as they are Missourtans, decided to show them. He began the sult and in the answer filed by Attorney Saun- ders for the traction company the passing of the counterfeit was admitted. He de- nied the Iability of the company, how- ever, and in support of his contention cited the 400-year-old decision of Lord Cook, In which the English jurist held that any one who accepted counterfeit money did so at his own risk, must bear the loss and could net recover from the person passing it in a civil suit. As the common law of Missourt is based on the old common law of England, Mr. Baundgers held Lord Cook's decigion as show. ing the traction company not liable. MR. D’ARCY’S CONTENTION. On the other hand, Edward d'Arcy, Mr. Cantwell’s attorney, contends that while Missourl common law is based on that of England the commercial conditions of the time render ineffective some old English de- cisions. Mr. Cantwell said today that the case will unquestionably be taken to the Court of Appeals, and that the decision will be of much interest to lawyers. In the meantime the lawyers on both sides have been aroused to a point of interest where they are work- ing as hard on the case as if it involved millions. CAR DASHES INTO A SALOON Peculiar Accident at Twelfth and Lu- cas—Three Passengers Slight- ly Hurt. A Cherokee line car, northbound on Twelfth street, left the ralle Wednesday morning and ran full tilt into the door of Charlies Hennem's saloon at i135] Lucas avenue. None of the passengers had expressed a desire to stop at the saloon, and the motor. man, C. H. Ronder, can explain the tncident only on the theory that the car was thirsty. The car’s thirst, if it had one, was not satisfied, and its fender was hopelessly broken. The fron post in front of the saloon entrance, which supoertes the upper story of the bullding, was broken, and three passengers were bruised and other- wise injured. William Reipschiaeger of 14430 Wright Louls ave- street, Lillie Wahlers of 1514 St. nue and Mrs. Frances Roben of 104 High street were the injured passengers.

Legislative Chamber Had No Charms for Sweeney With Kelly Gone— Saloon Bill Passed. The sergearit of arms is “Mr. here!"’ As “Big Jim'"’ Cronin made this announce- ment, ““Mike’’ Howard, official bouncer and jord high executioner of the House of Dele- gates, broke forth in a glad grin. Speaker! Cronin's remark was meant a8 a gérifie’ hint that Speaker Fontana should order the “sergeant ef arms'’ to bring in enough members to make a quorum.

The committee room, former meeting place of, the combine, was swept and garnished, but no one vVentiired rear its dodr, and “sonny Mack" regretted his useless labor of dusting the big jeather chairs and turn- ing on the lights. Denny sought his seat .in.the House of. Delegates chamber and stayed there, turn- ing only to chat with Geraghty. Ed Mur- relis chair retained vacant. Faulkner talked with Burke long and earnestly, and Buckley, Howard and Trov held a solemn conference. “How long did the grandjury keep you, Cap?’ catled Gazzolo to Troll. “Three minutes by the clock," Eighth ward statesman. “They paid more attention to me than that,” said Gazzectilo. “But what did they want with Buck so long? What was it, Buck?"’ “Nothing much,” said Buckley. ‘“They kept Burke longer than they did me. And you ought to have seen the man chase af- ter Sweeney to call him back.”’ SWEENEY’S ENEMY GONE. But the afternoon's experiences did not seem to be a fruitful topic, and the attempt at starting a general discussion was a fail- ure. No amount of telephoning could bring Sweeney. A House meeting without Kelly hes no charms for the belligerent states- an from the Third. Kosin was not expected. He is “It"’ in Carondelet politics, combining the respon- sible duties of delegate and centrai commit- teéman, and the Republican primary in his ward demanded his attention. When Wiliam, Stannard, Karbe and Kiute arrived shortly after 7:20, there were enough members on hand to form a quo- rum. But Cronin had suddenly remembered that he had a duty to perform, and the speaker gave him as much time as ho wanted to devote to it before calling the House to order. Cronin's duty was a congenial one. It was to interest the other members of the House in a bill authorizing a bar in the new hotel at. King's highway and West Pine boulevard. This. proved to be an easy thing to do, but to make sure that thers would be no opposition, Gronfn called on the persuasive ‘‘Snake'’ Kipney te elueli- date the bill to his fellow members. KINNEY AS AN ELDCIDATOR. “You see,"' said Kinney to each listener in turn, “this here is just a bill for to put in a swell bar out on King’s highway, across from Forest Park. No cheap joint goes. This'll be the real thing.” The bill was an amendment to the exist- in@ law, which provides that fo saloon or bar shall be placed within BO feet of For- est, Lafayette or Tower Grove Park. The amendment added the words, “except in hotels or apartment houses of 20 rooms or more.”’ The House had voted to postpone the bill indefinitely, To take it up again and pase it three sets of motions and votes would be necessary. All these were put through when the House had been called to order, the barroom bill taking precedence of ah other business. “Are you going to run that bar, Jim?’ one of his colleagues inquired of Cronin, noting his activity in making the neces- gary motions. “Me? said Cronin. “I'm goin’ your honor, and sit on the bench. to be Justice Cronin.”’ All 18 votes went for the bill. Rolicall was taken each time, and, although Clerk Judge rattled off the list in quick succes- sion, some of the names stood out as ff they had been shouted through a megaphone. As Hannigan'’s name was called everyone looked for the muscular delegate from the Twenty-frst, but he was not in his seat. At the words “Mr. Kelly.”’ Clerk Judge came to a full Stop.

Mist- repeated the clerk more the list, winding up impressively with “Mister Speaker Fontana!”’ ADJOURNED FOR WEEE. The barroom bill having been passed without an opposing vote, Cronin’s mind was free from a burden. Three of his boon companions, men who hope to be members of the House some day, were stated on the sofa, and he moved his chair to a point near them, after he had made one motion, which was carried. This was that when the House adjourned, it should adjourn for one week. All concurred in this proposition. Semi- weekly gatherings have ceased to be the joy that they once were, and now that the barroom bill had been passed, neither Cro- nin nor the rest saw why they should be kept: up longer. ' The clerk's reading of bills commenced, and thé members relaxed. Cronin did more than to relax. He and his friends on the sofa started a vaudeville performance, which increased in hilarity until the speaker tapped the mafble top of his desk with his gavel. “The sergeant-at-arms is here,’ Cronin called to the speaker. ‘‘Do you want him?’’ And the noisy dialogue at the side of the room continued, with frequent demonstra- tions of delight from Cronin and his friends, in which Sergeant-at-Arms Howard joined. ‘Petitions, memorials,”’ called the speak- er. For some reason he did not add the usual call for ‘‘remonstrances."' There was only ope petition, and it came from thie pattern makers, asking that the members of their trade in the service of the water department be paid according to the unton scale. Delegate Howard had already in- troduced a bill to this effect. When the clerk gave a second reading to the Park PMlevated Railroad bill, there was general attention. “LL” ROAD BILL REFERRED. ‘Referred to the raikwoad committees’ sai the speaker, and Delegate Brennan, who its chairman of the railroad committee, arouses! from his revery. Then Brennan remembered that he had a bill to introduce. The time for introducing it, according to the regular order, hai passed. but there was no objection, and the measure was read. It provided for the pay- ment of 195 to Mra. Margaret Grady, whose horse had been killed by falling off a dump boat. The vaudeville at the side of the room grew rapid and tumultuous. Cronin was iiiustrating the attitudes which he would assume when he became a justice of the peace. The clerk's reading of sewer Dilis was unheeded. ‘Reports of committees,’’ called the speay er, and for the first time in the evening Delegate Denny claimed the chair’s atten- tion. Then the bills reported, more sewer or- dinances and one scale bill, were passed. “IT move we adjourn,’’ Cronin called, with. out turning toward the speaker's chair. “Motion to adjourn is in order.” «aid Speaker Fontana, as if he had not heard Cronin, whose back was turned toward him “Didn't you hear me move to adjourn?’ shouted Cronin. “Don't you suppose I know when to adjourn, and me speaker for three months?" Cronin’s motion carried with a rush, ard he proceeded to introduce to the faithful hig friends, to each of whom he referred as “my successor in the House.” “It would break Jim's heart if he would not get to be a jfuetice of the peace,”” mur- mured one of the “successors” as the lights commenced to go out.

His days he epende in the seclusion of the grendjury room and assistent\ycircuit at- torney’s office. His nights he spends elsewhere than the Four Courts, but the place is fot Jieclused. He is not a prisoner, being under ton, but he is in circumstances that render cun- spicuity undesirable. All bis meals are Oourts by a waiter from restaurant. He sits or wanders about in the roonis 1! day, reading newepapers and the Journal of the House of Delegates. He is free to receive callers or talk to anybody, but he prefers not to be communi- cative. OSC OSOS SCE COHSCTHT SH OOS What of the Four Courts Man of Mys- tery? All day long the Man of Mystery sits si- lent and meditative of wanders about in rooms on the third floor of the old Clark avenue rookery. All day long he reads and stokes and thinks. All day long ho sits walting, patiently, resignedly. He is a man with a mission. The man is John K. Murrell. He is a man of mystery because he is a nine days’ wouder; for nine days he has been In se- cluded rooms at the Four Courts, like a wise owl in a tree, and the people have wondered how he spends his days. Early last week the public press and the public mind were filled with Murrell. He had returned from his fugitive stay in Mexico, yielding to the arguments of the Post-Dispatch's emissary, and had con- fessed his part in the House of Delegates bribery affairs, thereby necessarily !mplicat- ing 18 of his colleagues. Murrell had become the Man of Mystery. It was known that he was in St. Louis, that he had appeared from time to time before the grandjury, and that he was sequestered somew here, for reasons obvious. It was known that, in revealing the se- erets of the Hoveo combine for the good of the state and to relieve an overbur- dened conscience, he had violated a hair- raising oath, an oath which named as a pénalty for its violation the death of the revealer, with certain horrible mutilations after death. IS NOT A PRISONER. Various rumors have been set afloat ag to how Murfsll spends his days and nights. Most of them are erroneous. One réport has it that he is practically a prisoner, of his own volition and choice, for his own safety. It t#@ krniown that Murrell! can go wherever he may degire, as he is not held as a state’s prisoner, being under bond, like the rest of the combine members, though his bond is but $15.000. Another report is that Murrell sleeps in a room at the Four Courts and never leaves the bullding. Both these theories as to Murrell are un- founded, according to the authority of an next to Cirouit Attorney Folk himself, knows better than any ¢ther man what John K. Murrell does and where he passer the time. WHERE DOES HE SLEEP. This official, who declines to say just where Murrell sleeps, declares that he never has slept at the Four Courts. “Where he goes at night,”’ said the of- ficial to the Post-Dispatch this morning, “Ll willl mot say. it is not necessary for the public to know that, nor is it neces- sary for the public to know the reason why it need not be known. Do I make my- self plain?’ if the official's language is not exactly plain, it ts at any rate a part of the Murrell mystery. “Murrell sleeps at different places,’ con- tinued this authority. “Mr. Foik himeoif where — POSSSOEOOSOSSOO SS SOS SY OD served at the Four an Olive etreet » o“" POSS SOS : ° | “s > “se > & ae “> > &e oy ~ |} statement that that Murrell docs apend some of his nights at home, but what nights? The positive “he sleeps at different places’’ may be taken to show that possi- ble callers upon Mr. Murrell at his home are not likely to find him in unless a pre- vious engagement is made. “What does Mr. Murrell do during the day?’ was asked. “O, during the day? Why, hé just stays here at the Four; Courts. He spends a good deal of Wig timé in the office of Assisigit Circuit Attorney’ Hancock, across the hall from the. grandjury room. He sits in there and read# apd smokes; ard probably he thinks ai good déal.”’ “What does he read—novels?”’ The official smiled. “I don't believe Mr. Murrell is very much interested in fiction just now. Hd hasn't even called for the “‘The Crisis’ yet. He reads newspapers, and he read the journal of the House of Delegates—the only books I recall having seen him peruse. He spénds a good deal of his time reading them." IN THE GRANDJURY ROOM. ‘“‘Murrell spends part of his time in the grandjury room,’ the official continued. “When the jury is not in session he crosses over, through the passage that connects that room with Mr. Hancock's office, and he sits around in the room where Foreman Bannermann and his colleagues asked him many leading questions a few days ago.”’ Were it not for the smoke of factories and engine plants Murrell would have a fine Outlook from his eyrie in the corner room of the top floor where Mr. Hancock holds forth. There is an east window and a south window. The southern expqsure, on a clear day, atfords Murrell a view of the district where for years he has been engaged in the un- dertaking business, as was his father be- fore him, at 3437 Hickory street. It is too far away for him to distinguish the build- ing in which J. P. Murrell’s Sons haye fu- neral parlors. It is also too far away for him to locate the vicinity of his own home at 4156 Castleman avenue, whither he re- moved when he retired from the House of Delegates and left the Fourteenth ward, which he had represented. From the east window Murrell can look out and down upon the busy scene of Cup- ples Station, and farther east and north he can see the skyscrapers of the down- town districts, looming like tall cliffs above their lesser brethrén. Beyond, were it not for the smoke and the ck walls, he could glimpse the Mississippi fiver, which, by the way, is mentioned in the oath that bound the boodlers. CAN DO AS HE PLEASES. ‘Murrell wanders around itn these rooms,’’ said the official] quoted. ‘He gets tired sitting and takes an inside stroll now and then. Sometimes he goes downstairs to Mr. Folk's office, directly underneath the grandjury room. He can do as he pleases, for that matter."’ [t is apparent, however, that Murrell does not please to make himself conspie- uous. Very few men have obdtained giimpses of the man of mystery since he surrendered, exoepting those who have been admitted to the grandjury room or to the offices of the circuit attorney and his chief agsistant. These offices, when occupied, are locked, with an outside doorkeeper who admits persons with proper business. Three times a day Murrell eats, like the average man. He does not, however, go to a hoted or restaurant for his meels. He eats all of them in the Fuur Courts. Murrell's meals are served by an Olive atreet restaurant man, who sends a waiter three times daily with several meal orders, a number of the Four Courts attaches aiso having their food served in this manner. As Murrell eats alone, but some- times ot..ct men supplied by the same res- taurant join him. The “meals sent to rooms charged extra” has no~worries for the man of mystery. HIS APPETITE I8 GOOD. The official authortty says that Murrell's aprctite ia good. He enjoys his méeais. “In fact, Mr. Murrell's appearance has wonderfully since he returned. a ow-la lber of i shiped at old Eden chapel, ithe mayor. when she spent her summers at 'chairman: Frederick Vierling. firanctal sec- fae esc! ling, treasurer: Land T.

His face wore a drawn expression. He looked like a sick man. “Now he looks like a man who had been relieved of a heavy burden, who has come forth out of severe restraint, and his face wears the expression of one who feeis lib- erated."’ Queer words these, concerning a man whose sleeping place is not divulged and | who eats his meals in the Four Courts building, where he spends his days. Yet the peculiar circumstances no doubt justify the words. The official went on to Say that Murrell is fleshening up and recovening something of his old joviality of manner. Who calls to see him? Once in a while a crank, who is turned away by Detective John McGrath, detailed to watch the grandjury room and the circuit attorney's office. Sometimes his brother, Fdward E. Mour- rell, calls and has a chat with the man of mystery. “Anybody can see him if he wants to see | anybody,"’ the official volunteered. “But I am of the impression that he doesn’t ental to entertain visitors. He probably ows | that it is best for him not to talk, and I doubt if his conversation would be interest- ing Just now. He might discws the weath- er; but anybody can talk wather talk.” HAS HE A GUARD? As to whether Murrell goes guarded to his sleeping place and back to the Four Courts the official was non-committal. “He is not a prisoner,"’ says the cfficial. It is conjectured by certain Four Courts attaches that Murrell !s in disguise when he leaves the Four Courts and when he re- turns.

I uriou Pres To relinquish the epeakership of the Na- tional House of Representatives is the next thing to resignifg from the Presidency. The speaker of the House, next to the President, is the most powerful officer of the nation. His power to direct legislation is limited only by his individual ability. He selects the committees and their chairmen, and he is the chairman of the committee on rules. He recognizes for debate, those whom he @ pleases to recognize. It is thus easy to @ see that througd his control of committees, @ and especially hie control over the commit- @ tee on rules, and his control over the House in debate, he has almost unlimited power in the framing of legislation He can make @ it impossible to pass a bill that he is per- sonally opposed to. The committees of the House are not fixed by law. Each house may have as many or as few committees as it chooses. Here again the speaker bas the whip-hand, be- cause the number of mittees is fixed by the committee on rules, and as be appoints that committee and is its chairman, he may give the House such committees as he may elect. He can make a legislative machine of the liouse, whose wheels turn only when and ne a y eveland suite since the former Président the apartments in 186.

Mr. Sherman may be a candidate again, but he could not secure the indorsement of his own state del- egation before and it is not thought that he has grown stronger in the interval.

As a logical sequence, it is expected to prove a severe vlow to the Republicans in this congressional campaign. This is the opinion of the politicians here, to whom the news of Gen.

DUBUQUE, Io., Sept. 17.—David B. Hen- derson was the first man of alien birth to preside over the national House of Rep- resentatives. Crisp of Georgia, a former speaker, was born at Sheffield, Engiand, but it was during a visit of his parents across the water, and his birth there 6id not impair his eligibilty to the presi- dency. Col. Henderson was porn at Old Deer, Scotland. and lived there until. he was 6 years old. Up to 1876 he would not have been eligible even for the speakership, 45 gnder the old law of presidentia! succes- gion, the speaker of the House, after the gresident pro tem. of the Senate, was in the line of succession, and, because of this, it was thought unw.se to put a man of alien birth into the chair. Tho present law, which was framed by Senator Hoar after the crisis of 1876, gives members of the cabinet precedence, and the speaker is not included in the list of eligibles. Only 14 states have furnished speakers of the house in 6 Congresses. Pennsylvania nas had three, New Jersey two, Massachu- | ithe New York one, Tennessee two, Kentucky four, Connacticut one, North Carolina one, South Carolina two, Indiana three, Georgia two, Virginia feur, Maine two and Ohio one. Kentucky and Indiana thus represent the western limit of the speakership, and the election of Hender- son. Henderson has been rather a picturesque character in Congress. He has a loud voice, and an earnest manner calculated to arouge enthusiasm. He always led the singing at the adjournments of Congress. His utterances in Congress show that he was never a radical gold standard man. He setts four, black mixtures. A complete line of chiffon and silk and lace collarettes are to be ob- tained.

It was generally supposed, prior to the Culp an- nouncement, that Col. John I. Martin would be the natural selection, but bearing the Ingalls imprint as he does, Culp of Kansas cannot be resisted. It is known that Col. J. I. M., secretary of sundry ceremonies and wearer of abund- ant badges, has made a study of the cere- mony business and reduced it to a science. He is ae romana supposed to be the expert par excellence in this matter, being pres- ent at all sorts of ceremonies, wherever a public display presents itself, and well up toward the front, next to the man on the white horse with the diagonal sash as a decoration. is new colonel, this Culp of Kansas, this able and laudable Culp, appears to have arrived just in time to upset calcula- tions and present unique possibilities in the ceremony line.

Never has there been a more beautiful collection of hats than was shown at the Meyer Store on the opening days, Monday and Tuesday. They were “‘loves’’ and the fortunate purchasers will feel joyful, for all of them are things of beauty. The Meyer Stor@ made.a fortunate hit in the purchase of their Paris and New York pattern hats. They were intended by their makers for importation to the Far West. Some un- foreseen circumstance prevented their ship- | ment in time for the fall openings. The Meyer Store secured them and now ‘s the opportunity for any lover of a pretty hat to have. at-a bargain, an importation from Mon. Virot of Paris or the Maison Lewis of New York. One was a picture hat from Bonin, Paris, in black chenille appliqued on net and trim- med with black lumes which extended around the soft Tam O'Shanter crown. A rosette of black gatin ribbon with a black fet cabachon held the right brim, another being used under the left brim to give the hat a decided flare. A pretty red hat from Core of Paris was of elderdown camel's hair. Velvet of the same red shade was draped softly around the crown and shirred at the brim. large red and green parrot with wings out-, stretched rests on the crown, a smaller one being used under the brim. In the suit department at The Meyer Store were handsome itmported gowns of velvet, made with Russian blouse and tight-fitting serpentine skirt, allk lined dapat ranging in price from $385 to 50 Then there were the new tailor-mads wne with different kinds of fancy stitch- ng. One of blue cloth had a long cling- ing se ntine skirt with panel front, each seam of the narrow gores was edged in the harness stitch of white silk and finished at the flare with the La Valliere dropped tassels. The waist. a Russian blouse front with Gaht-Gittag back, was cor.pleted with the plum belt outlined tn the white sflk stitching and trimmed with frogs and Ua Valiiere tassels. The sleeves were the drooping bishop cut with flaring cuff. Another handsome tailor gown was of brown camel's hair cloth. combined with orduroy. The waist was a long-talled ccf- ee jacket of the cloth over tight-fittin bodice of corduroy trimmed in stitching an ta Valifere drop passementerie. The skirt had a ilong aring tight-fitting effect trimmed in bands of corduroy. Some pretty velvet coffee jackets and Monte rio coats were lined with white taffeta and duchesse tin, and trimmed tn rich silk passementeries. The garments ran in price from $75 to $1.2. The walking suits tn kilted skirts. with either Rusefan blouse or Norfolk coat. were seen in all colors.

Reed is in the jail at Belle- ville on the charge of having stolen $2 from Miss Ida Vondonas. It is charged that he took the money from the young woman's purse and spent it ‘‘treating’’ Miss Vondonas and another young lady. Notwithstanding the use to which she says the money was put, Miss Vondonas considers that she was robbed, and she has caused Reed to be charged with theft. On the evening of May 23 Miss Vondonas and another young woman were on their way to Priester’s park from Belleville on an electric car. They were joined on the car by Reed.

Special to the Post-Dispatch NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—'‘Col. Bill” Dev- ery was elected Democratic leader of the Ninth district by a. plurality of 393 votes over John C. Sheehan, and he received 835 votes more than Frank Goodwin, who “has been a Croker adherent heretofore Devery was given what the Romans called a “triumph,’’ and what the Niddth district calis a “hot time,”” when the votes were all counted and the ‘big chief” was known to be the new leader. Nothing like the demonstration, the noise, the enthusiasm and the general hullabaloo Was ever seen in the Ninth before. Just after 1 o'clock last sight Devery fought his way down the stairs of his headquarters on Eighth avenue, near T'wen- ty-third street. A carriage was waiting at the curb to take him home. Also there were a brass band and a crowd of 6000 cheering men. The carriage was swept aside, the victor was picked up in a wild turmoil of cheers, and, when the confusion had subsided, the carriage was nowhere to be seen, but the brass band was leading a procession, Dev- ery was walking proudly behind the mu- sicians, and 6000 cheering, yelling men were trailing along after them. aa . 2e SS: | pe ee Bombs were exploding and rockets and | Re es ae : ee & mS ‘ PE aes roman candles were splitting the air end a Bhat ae P « ee ee Mee aR lighting the etreete, and at every corner biaging tar barrels made the streets as tight us day.

SENATORS HAD OTHER IDEAS EFFORT TO BNFORCE THEM IN CONFERENCE FAILED. Executive Will Continue to Score Trusts and to Advocate Cuban Reciprocity, Though Tariff Will Not Be Disturbed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept. 17.—It was a warm session the visiting senators and oth- ers held with President Roosevelt to talk over politics and policies yesterday after- noon. One of the senators, on being told that it had been reported that the confer- ence had broken up in a rumpus and that Mr Roosevelt had remarked that he would speak on whatever subject he pl and in the way he saw fit, -said: . “There is a whole lot’ of nonsense in cir- culation, and the least said the better. It is an undesirable situation.” Another ;said: “The situation is not irreconcilable, and it will come out all right.”’ Exact facts, as near as can be got, are that the conference agreed that: 1. No attempt will be made at the forth- coming short session of Congress to revise the tariff. President Roosevelt, in his speeches, will urge a revision of the tariff along conservative lines before the expira- tion of his term. 2. The President will maintain his posi- tion with regard to Cuban reciprocity, and will make it the subject 0o throughout the beet sugar states during Dis western trip. To Continue to Speak Against Trusts. 8. The President is to continue his atti- tude of opposition to the trusts. The men engaged in the conference were the President, Postmaster-General Payne, who is the recognized manager of Presi- dent Roosevelt's campaign for 1904; Senator M. A. Hanna of Ohio, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, the close political and persona! friend of the President; Sen- ator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Islan Senator William B. Aillison_ of lowa an Senator John C. Spooner of Wisconsin. The first. question takes up was that of tariff revision. The President declared most emphatically against any radical revision of the tariff and said he wanted changes made only on such articles as it could be shown were too highly protected. Further- more, President Roosevelt said he would talk tariff revision in his speeches in the western states, along certain lines, but did not believe it should be made an adminis- tration monsare neers the eee —— of the Fifty-eight ongress. was that althou 5, a revision of the tariff might be essential it should be left open for the resent at least until the long session of Yongress. Fight Oame Over Trust Question. Upon the trust question it was most diffi- cult to reach an agreement. The President announced that he was opposed to any policy on the trust question other than that enunciated in his speeches. He said he be- lieved it to be one of the vital issues of the campaign, and that the voters were looking to the Republican party for relief. Senators Hanna and Spooner were two of the men who opposed any radical] attack on the trusts. soy: expressed the opinion that Congress could take action whenever neces- sary to curb any particular trust, and ar- ued that a general tirade against indus- rial combinations would be looked "ee with disfavor by the business men of “ country. It was finally decided that the President should use his own discretion in handli the question. He is to urge a constitutiona amendment and to pledge himself to direct the attorney-generai to prosecute orous- ly under the existing laws any trust that can Be shown to have violated those laws. On the question of Cuban Fecipeceity it was agreed that the President ghould clear- ly enunciate his position tn his speeches through the beet sugar states on his west- ern trip. He will argue 4 ty should be granted the people of the isian cause it had been _—— them and cause it was part of the policy of President McKinley.

DRIVERS THEIR OLD ENEMIES. EFFORT TO BE MADE TO ENFORCE ORDINANCE. Teamsters Who Occupy the Car Tracks for More Than a Block With Their Vehicles Will Be Sub- ject to Arrest. The long standing differences between the motormen and the teamsters on Sout® Broadway are to be submitted to arbitrae tion. Police court judges are to be the arbitra- tors, and each case is to be settled on its own merits. The movement for arbitration comes from the motormen. They are tired of the long waits, the displaced schedules and the un- profitable badinage which have attended their difficulties with the pllots of brewery wagons and foundry trucks. — So they have decided that whenever & teamster holds the track for more than one block, resort will be had to arbitration. Back talk, and forward talk as well, wilt be omitted. The motorman will say, “Of- ficer, arrest that man!” and if the minion of the law hesitates, he will quote a section of the city ordinances to him. Then the police judge will do the arbi- ie a All se details were determined on at a conference held by a group of motormen at the South Broadway sheds a few days ago. A agrees that conditions were be- coming such that the life of a Broadw motorman was as soy iene as that of a - tive boodlier. Two ages, English and profane, have been exhausted in daily dis- cussions with the teamsters, and still the ae grew thicker and the delays onger. One of the men pointed out that Judge Sidener had upheld the city ordinance which permits teamsters to drive in the track in front of cars for not more than a block. It was decided that the hope of the mo- tormen lay in the ordinance and in the support of the police courts, and that cases should be made against drivers who ob- structed the cars for longer distances than that allowed by law. Motorman J. E. Grimes, one of the lead. the motormen’s protect've movement, said: “It has come to be so that our cars are almost always late, and the passengers all blame the motorman. ‘The only way we can get them off the track is to bump the wagons, and this means the calling of the crew, a report of the accident in detatis perintendent, and very likely a ainst the company. There are who try to get us to hit their wagons so they can get damages from the transit company. ‘‘Hereafter we shall simply take the cases to court and let the judge decide them.” Bome of the leaders in the new plan of rocedure are Motormen Dan onroe Hardesty and Sigel of the South Broadwa ne.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—The recent action of the racing stewards against the use of “dope” in horses and their subsequent re- jection of the entry of two well-known thoroughbreds—Hans Wagner and Bellario —has caused the query, ‘“‘What ia dope in horses?"’ to be asked by many turfites who are not familiar with this phase of horse- racing “Dope” as it is called, first came into use among horsemen at Guttenburg. The track on the Palisades was responsible for many eviis of the turf, but this was the worst that ever sprang into existence among the many racing outlaws that made the pace their rendezvous. Dr. Ring was responsible for its introduction. He was a veterinary surgeon who attended the sick horses at the track and he brought forth the “‘eligir of speed.”’ It wags first used on @ big, black horse, a cripple. This horse had once been very fast, but physical ailments took all his speed and courage away from him and he had been relegated to the “also-ran” class. His owner, a poor fellow with more hope than dollars, worked as a stable hand for other stables to earn oats and hay for his one chance to secure a fortune. He patched his horse’s legs up so that he could stand without shaking as though he had the de- lirlum tremens, started him several times, and saw him finish far back in the ruck. Then Dr. Ring appeared with his speed producer. He said that he had something that would make the old ‘‘sekate’’ forget his. pain, would fire him with ambition to race, and that it would not cost the owner a cent.

The number of railways placed in the charge of receivers during the fiscal year 1901 was ten and the number of railways taken from the management of receivers was seventeen. At the close of the year the total single- track railway mileage in the United States wes 197,237.44 miles, this Tre naving in- creased during the year 3,891.66 miles. his increase le greater than that for any other year since 3, excepting 1900, when it Was 51.12 miles.

Decayed meat, doctored by the monopoly chemically. and Sausages containing potatoes, flour and diseased kidneys ground up with other adulterations, have been sold in St. Louis. T. L. O'Sullivan, who gives this testimony, is a meat and live stock inspector of St. Louls and is a man with 80 years’ ex- perience. “Concession meat,” Mr. O'Sullivan expla'ned, ‘4s meat tht has been kept in the coolers too long and has become moldy and partly spoiled. It is worked with some sort of chemical so t at its condition cannot be noticed and then sold at any price they can wet for it.” ~ This is one of the fruits of monopoly. Irresponsible. and or- ganized only to get the most for the least, no moral obstacle ig ever encountered by a monopoly of any kind. It is no answer to say that the meat monopoly is an exce- tion. The essentia) fact of all monopolies is irresponsibility and under stress of necessity—that is, tho necessity to make b'g d vi- Gends, al) moral considerations give way. Sooner or later every monopoly must meet this issue, and not one of them ever hesi- tates to choose profit and cast awey morality with a sneer. This ts the law of their being. It's a good lesson even if nothing comes of the inquiry in the whape of practical rerult. When people learn that I'fe and h>a!th are endangered by the predatory activity of monopoly, they may jook at the question with more than speculative interest. —_— —_-——- Ooo It is to be hoped that the Democrats will see in the Republican ticket a call for strong candidates who command the confidence ef the people _ i ~~ FF WORK? WHY, HOW FOOLISH! The folly of trying to “get a job’’ was never more plainly em- phasized, perhaps, than in the case of John Hendrickson of New York. The only earthly excuse that the man could offer for wanting to go to work was the fact that he had a w'fe and several chil- dren, and that they were on the point of starvation. Notwithstanding the fact that the world owes him a Ilivirg— he had been sent to the penitentiary for trying to collect a por- tion of what was coming to him and the wor'd repud’m'ed he debt—when he realized the condition of his family after returning from prison, Hendrickson desperate y determined to go to work Handicapred by a prison record, and knowing the a titude of the police and the public toward an ex-convict, he changed his mame to John Cox and started out to seek employment. In so doing Hendrickson violated a state law, for the I-g slature has legislated to the effect that a man who has been a convict must not try to escape notice by assuming another name—and so he was haled into court, found guilty and sentenced to 6) days in jail. And his family? Oh, well, that is another matter. Fam'lies may , Buffer, but the dignity of the law must be upheld at all hazards. —_———_————- - oo By the time the trusts have benevolently assimilated the Ameri- can consumer he will think he is a Filipino. = = = _— SS THE PARTY EDITOR'S MISSION. At the Jefferson Club's banquet to the Democratic editors of Missouri the theme of the addresses was the duty of Dem >crat'o editors to give enthusiastic suppert to the party ticket. The same theme supplied meterial for the speeohes at the meeting of the Republican editors of the state. Neither our Denfocratic nor Republican friends who make the mewspapers of the state should be misled by the eloquence of party leaders and politicians. Editors of party Mewspapers havs @ higher duty and a nobler mission than that of support.ng tick- ets nominated by party conventions. The first duty of the press is to the public. It must see that the public is not deceived or plundered. It must te'l the public th> Whole truth. It must use its greatest power—publicity—to inform the public thoroughly upon all public quest'ons. ‘The highest duty of a newspaper to the party it supports is to Bee that the party has honest and ab'e leadership and is kept faithful to the cause of the people. It must see that the party's piedgos are redeemed and that its power is not abused for selfish or corrupt ends. Sometimes it is tha duty of party new pa e's to lead @ revolt against party leaders who have abused the power placed in their hands. Democratic and Republican editors oan exert tremendous in- Ouence for good within their parties. They can at al! t'mes rerve the people.

These msn are well known in St. Louls. They are known to tke police and the deputies. They are known to hundreds of persons. The fesuance of the bench warrants were known to the sherilf and hia deputies and to the po'ice before it was known to th: men for whom they ed. It was alleced trat every ave- nue of escapo from the city was cut off. It is now al ezged that they are still in the city. It ‘s incred b’e that the poll 6, cover- ing every block in the city every day, should not be able to find a trace of the fugitives. What is the real reason that the men have not been appre- hended? Kelly, the key to the complete uncovering of th> I ght- ing bill deal, was allowed to eacape through the easy k ndness of Deputy Sheriff Sheehan. Have there of the combine? It is notorious that the men in hiding have strong friends among the police and in the sh2rlff’s oftice. It is tine for Chef Kiely and Sheriff Dckmann ito tak orous action to remove the stigma of inefficincy frm forces. It may be necessary for the egrandjury to probe “search” for the ind’cted men The situation emphas zes the need of a nopu'ar rally to the s p- port of Circuit Attorney Folk.

We reprint it on this page as one of the vital cocu- ments in the uncovering of the great ‘boodlers’ consp racy av-inst the people of St. Louis, and also as a most interesting study for all young reporters in the higher possibilities of their work. ‘When it is corsidered that Murrell's voluntary reurn from Mexico was absolutely ind'spensable to the succesful prorecu- tion of St. -Louis’ athhbound confederacy of thieves, it is not casy to over-estimate the value of Mr. O’Ne!l’s rare reportcrial feat, not only nor chiefly to his newspapr, but to the reop'e of St. Louls and the cause of honest rgoverrment throurhovt the country. As the tmmediate result of his skillful letter convn inc Murrell that from every point of view, and most of al from that of his own personal welfare and happiness, {t was b tter for him to go back to St. Louis and te'l al’ he knew, 18 ‘o-mer and pr's- ent members of the city’s Hovse of Delecates were arrest’ d on grandjury warrants. Other arrests will follow, and the punish- ment of all the leading corruption'sts is assured. “Opportunities td serve the interest of public justice fn this ex- ceptional way area often offered to reporters who have the a ‘ert- ness to see and the right moral sense to improve them. Te World has a modest reportorial roll of honor of its own, on wh ch many such services are recorded. It ‘incl-des the di cove-y of the murder of Helen Potts and the convic‘lon of Carlyle W Harris in 1891; the discovery, also, in 1891. wth only a but'‘on and a few shreds of clothing as clews, of the ident'ty of Russ*l! Sage's bomb-thrower, Norcross; the discovery of the murder by poison of Mrs. Buchanan by her husband, Dr Buchanan, and his ccn- sequent conviction, fn 1892; the collect’on, bit by bit of the evi- dence which led to the arrest and punishment of Martin Thorn and Mrs. Nack, the murderers of Wi!'iam Gu'dencu pe tn 1°97, and the running down of the famous kidnapers of the baby Ma.- rion Clarke, In 1899. “Frank O'Neill's exploit in 8t. Lou's is one more memorable proof added to scores already on file of the wite and far-rea>h- ing influence that is wielded for right and j-st'ce by every re- porter on the staff of a powerful and fear'ess newspiper, who unites moral courage and purrose with mental clearness of per- ception, good jufigment ard tact.” he, i i i ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. \ a, B. 8.

The newspapers of St. Louis ferretted out the facts in the boodle cases which led to the arrest of many of the bood- lers. Newspapers are a great benefit to any: community. I’rom the New Orleans Picayune. It is earnestly hoped that the entire gang of municipal bandits will be duly convict- ed and sent to the penitentiary. It is not enough that they have been exposed. When @ man who knows, and has known for years, that he is a thief, is exposed to the public gaze as such, he is. not seriously mortified and humiliated. His chief regret is that the exposure may prevent the fur- ther successful conduct of his nefarious schemes. In order that he shall be made to suffer, it ig necessary that he should wear the stripes and undergo the punish- ment due to his crimes. For such men to escape without punish- ment is to encourage to like crimes other public representatives whe occupy positions which offer opportunities for such prac- tices. From the Topeka State Journal. When it was dfscovered that St. Louis aldermen had organized a trust, the law went after them in a hurry. Are aider- menu to have no rights? From the Louisville Courier-Journal. | It is not at all surprising, therefore, that members of municipa! legislative boards should have conceived the idea of forming | a “corner” in legislation. A majority can form a combination that controls the whole supply. It is much more simple than a cor- ner in wheat or corn. The members of a municipal board, living near each other, | have facilities‘for constant conference, and | no outsider can come into competition with, them. They can fix their own prices with- out fear, so long as they charge no more than the traffic will bear. There was al- ways the possibility of prosecution, but an oath of secrecy was expected to diminish /this danger. Besides, it had been. so long delayed that there was little fear of it. The custom of selling legislation was so well established that the participants re- garded themselves more in the light of sharp business men than as malefactors. It required a prosecution to arouse their conscience to a realization of the fact that they were selling what did not belong to them, the interests of the people whom tney professed to represent. These unfaithful officials should be pun- ished, but there are others who should share their punishment. Being a corrupt bargain, it required anotber party for its success, and the briber is'equally guilty in morals and should so be held in law. It is not a case of duress or- blackmail. It was in the i nS acral neiC of those who paid or A BOUQUET OF SANDWICHES. A young man who lives in Webster Groves is absent-minded to an unfortu- nate degree. Some days ago his falling was the cause of a singular embarrassment. At his home is a garden productive of beautiful flowers. In the city its a girl, who, it is said, is the retainer of all that is tender and true in this young suburban- ite’s nature. At any rate they are engaged and he brings her flowers daily #om his mother’s garden. Tuesday he was in a hurry and failed to find a box to carry the posies in. In its place was substituted a chip lunch bas- ket with a top. The young man carried it in his hand and boarded a car for the city. He didn’t take the basket to the seat with him, but put it down in a corner at the rear end of the car. Directly across the aisle was another bas- ket of similar di- mensions and gen- eral appearance. Of this the young man took no notice. At least, not suf- ficient notice, got off at Grand avenue and made straight for his fiancee’s home. He rang the~bell and was admitted by the young woman herself. “Flo, I've got you some beauts this morn- ing,’’ he ealid. “‘They'’re the prettiest that have bloomed for a week.”’ "You dear!’’ responded the girl, and to- gether—she with anticipation and he with assurance—they bent over the basket while he removed the cover.

To pay the demand wee prima facie evidence of wrong, but in elther case the beneficiary was particeps criminis and should be similarly punished. While the St. Louis case is novel only In some of its details, it shows the length to which such offenders will go when long immunity has emboldened them. The les- son is just the same as that of many other such abuses that have come to light, name- ly, the need of constant vigilance on thé part of the people to hold their representa- tives to a strict accountability. From the St. Paul Globe. Thoughtful citizens may dismiss the state of things shown to have existed in Minne- apolis as a mere passing control of the city government by the slum elements of socie- ty. No such consolation is available in considering the situation in either of the larger cities. Official corruption appears as a settled condition in St. Louis, ag it is uni- versally recognized as being in Philadel- phia. An oath-bound organization of pub- lic robbers is extraordinary only on account of the absurdity ef the oath-bound require- ment. All such organizations are bound to- gether by much stronger bonds than the recognition by their members of the sanc- tity of an oath. The men who bribed the people’s repre- sentatives in office are really greater crim- inals than the sordid wretches who took their money. These are the men the crimi- nal authorities should go after and put behind the prison doors. The most gratl- fying circumstance in the entire shameful affair in St. Louis seems to be that the prosecuting official has felt called on to avow his determination to get at the bribe- givers as well as the bribetakers. If he carries Out his purpose he will have done a great public service, of course, and he will also have made a reputation for him- self altogether unique in the history of the prosecution of public criminals, ' From the Washington Post. The same agency that has humbled the machine in Illinois will eventually achieve the infinitely more difficult task of down- ing the machine that rules and robs the city of Philadelphia. Public opinion lis the ruler in national, state and: municipal af- fairs. Although there may yet be “years of good stealing’ for the Philadelphia gang, the hour of its doom whl striké some time. The fate of boodlers in Minneapolis and the impending woes of the infamous municl- pal scoundrels in &t. Louis are, like the reform in LIllinols, victories of the press, wrought through public opinion: When the press {s sure it is right and bravely goes ties." Not even geraniums. The first sight that greeted their eyes was a napkin. A red one. Then came some cold chicken, an egg sandwich and a piece of blackberry pie, And following came the explanation, not altogether an agreeable one for the young man, who had presented his sweetheart with a street car conductor’s lunch. What kind of a meal the conductor made out of the roses and geraniums the writer unfor- tunately cannot say. ORIGIN OF AN EXCLAMATION. The latest slang phrase or exclamation, or whatever it may be called, that has per- colated to the West from New York is “Ol- | yol- -yoi!l’’ It is apparently meaningless and useless, but, like other. old-time “slang phrases, it will have fls day and pass into The average slang phrase passes from the Hast to the West, or vice versa, by the media of the newspapers and the vaude- ville stage. Those who can remember as far back as the phrase “What d’ye say?’ which everyone said to his neighbor with- out regard to its relevancy;kKnew that it came from Pat Rooney, and was soon in current use from New York to San Fran- cisco. But the phrase “Olj-yoi-yol” has a deep- er meaning than its users suspect. It orig- inated in an old creole expression much in use in Louisiana, and stands for fatigue, much as a northern woman would say “OO, dear me. In the creole it is “Ay- yah-yai,”’ and is sharper and higher in key than the “Oji-yoi-yol.” An instance of its use may be found In Cable’s Acadian story, ‘““‘Bonaventure.”’ It is probable that some New Yorker, having heard it in New Orleans, trans- planted it, and when it got to the Bowery it became oj instead of ai. Everyone who is familiar with the Bowery language knows that ‘‘goil’’ means girl, and ‘‘foist’ first, and so on. oer Not all of the fellows Who mend our umbrellas Are hoboes or Wandering Willies.

SHAKE HANDS WITH FATE. ‘Tis a sad old world, and a bad old world, It is scarce worth while at all; Its sorrows cling and its friendships sting, And even its joys will pall. But dear is life for all its strife, And love is better than hate— You'll find a grace in the surliest face If you just shake hands with fata With light in your glance and right in your glance And your lips in a curve to the sky; A spring in your walk and a ring in your talk, Sure, hope will not pass you by. The path that you will winds over a hin, But it leads to an open gate; So trill you a song to lure love along, And just shake hands with fate. "Tis in yourself is the demon elf, "Tis in yourself is God; And you'll never stray from yourself away— God's light or the devil's prod. Whatever your mind you'll meet fn kind, And what is yourself create: The world will view what is really you— Therefore, shake hands with fate! —Regina Armstrong in Leslie's Weekly.
