During the arguments there Were several tilts among the attorneys. Judge Krum argued that while Denny may have had information concerning the deal he had no positive knowledge of it ‘@nd therefore did not commit perjury ‘when he told the grandjury he had no ‘Knowledge of it. The attorney expatiated upon the fact that knowledge and information were two widely different: matters and added that Murrell had been exhibiting the key of the safe deposit box to the members of the combine-before they would believe the money was ready. CHARACTER WITNESSES. It was seven minutes after 10 o'clock when Denny came into court this morning. The defense consisted wholly of proving the good character of the defenant. W. LL. Marcon; auditor of the receiving de- partment of the Missouri Pacific Raliway, testified that he had known Denny eighteen Or twenty years and commended hig high character. > Wm.

THE ARGUMENT. The court allowed each side 25 minutes for argument. Judge Krum argued that Denny did not have positive knowledge, ai- though he admitted that he might have in- formation. He gave severa) illustrations rning the d fference between knuwl- and information, and added that Mur- had been obliged to show the key to the deposit box to the other members of ‘the combine before they would give any credence to his claims. ‘Atterney Orrick Bishop and Circuit At- torney Folk argued for the state. Mr. Folk occupied !7 minutes with his speech. He said: “This defendant went into the #tandjury room with a iie in nis heart and a te on his lips. “There has heen a band of thieves cr- ganized to loot the city, and the members of that band were the very persons in whom the public reposed so much confi- dence, that they elected them to office. They disposed of franchises of untold value and went upon the theory that a public tovet is a private graft "’ The circuit attorney insisted that Denny knew the money was there and that he de- Hberateiy lied about it to the grandjury. He recited the fact that Denny had persist- ently told the grandjury that all he knew ' @bout the deal was what he had seen in the newspapers. He said there had been four meetings of the combine, most of them having taken place in the side room of the House of aoe: and that — was present at all o rum, ng, sald that bribery mensen.

HE ADVISED “JAWN” SWEENEY “SILVER” BURKE, OLDEST MEM- BER, QUIT IN DISGUST. His Resignation Accepted With Mock Sorrow by Buckley, While Sweeney Executed Elephantine Dance From Joy. The House of Delegates got back into form Thursday night and, with 20 mem- bers present, transacted considerable routine business, following which the res- ignation of the oldest member, ‘silver’ John Burke of the Sixteenth ward, was tendered and accepted. In explanation of his action Mr. Burke eaid to the Post-Dispatch: | “Being a member of the minority and unable to accomplish legislation or in any- wise promote the interests of my consti- tuents, I felt that the only course left to me was to resign. ‘Besides, conditions in the House were such that I could not consistently remain a member.” Mr. Burke's resignation provoked croco- dile tears from Delegate Thomas Buck- ley, who, addressing Speaker Fontana, said: “Mr. Speaker, it is with deep feelin’s of “MO THE Goan ow “Kelly is. Not the Only Musical. Memeber of the House.”—SWEE- NEY. ’ Te ey regret that I hear of Mr. Burke’s untimely action. The gentleman from the Sixteenth ward has been valuable, cause he knows the workin's of the Houss. I'm votin’ to ac’ept his resignation, ‘cause he wants to quit, but I’m sorry to do it.”’ “BUCK’S”’ ELOQUENCE A SURPRISE A hush feli over the Assembly as Mr. Buckley spoke. Indeed, the man whom “Pokey” Brennan of ths Twenty-sixth ward ridiculed because he “‘lived among the cows,’ recelved most respectful attention, and as his peroration conbluded whispered congratulations of “‘Buck, you're O. K.,”’ “Ain't Tommy a jingo.’ and other expres- sions of approval were heard from the dele. gates. As he finished Mc. Buckley gat down, and, crossing his hands over his farchead, waited for some other forensic artist to say somv- thing. Fut nobody else would talk, and the roll call proceeded. The roll call was one con- tinual ovation of ‘‘ayes.”’ Mr. Burke smiled, and Speaker Fontana ended his happiness as a legislator with a loud “I vote yes.’ Many street improvement read at the meeting. The House reconsidered by a unanimous vote the bill to improve Westminster place from Spring avenue to King's highway. “Col.’’ Bd Butler figured in this sudden change of front on the part of the House. “COL.” BUTLER HELPED. Knowing Butler's power with the ‘‘boys,"’ the property holders, it {s said, approached the “old man” with the result that John P. Sweeney of the Third was instructed to let the ‘‘Westminster place alae anne go through.” His Belligerency from the Third ward wan in his happiest vein last night. The House was 40 minutes late in as- sembling. At 7 o'clock, the hour set for the mefting, only a half dozen members were present. This had been increased to 16 by 8:40, when Mr. Sweeney and Fontana en- tered the House. The speaker mounted the platform, and Sweeney called to him: “Rap your gavel, John." “Naw, not yet,”’ returned the speaker. “Go ‘head, Johnny,"’ persisted Sweeney. “They ain't no clerk here,’ said Fon- tana. Sweeney replied: they'll come in.” HAD TO ROUND UP CLERK. bille were “Well, rap anyhow, and NIGHT DOWNTOWN: 1 SUN IN WEST AD Dense Pall Enveloped Busi- ness District Until 9:30. SMOKE AND FOG THE CAUSE CAR PASSENGERS PLUNGED INTO DARENESS EAST OF GRAND. Dr. Hyatt Says Heavy Covering Was Due to Failure of Wind to Carry Off the Fog—Continued Cold Predicted. A stygian pall enveloped the downtown district of St. Louis this morning when the masses went to work at 7 o'clock and las.ed until 9:30, when the covering pegan to rise. Elec- ric bulbs and gas lights were gleaming in offices and stores, factories and work- shops, for the obsti- nate fog or smoke and mist refused to be dissipated, cling- ing together in dense masses close to the surface of carth. The area of the deep gloom was be- tween the river and Grand avenue, and from For.jieth street on the south to Fiftieth street and Broad- way on the north. The heavy accumulating clouds, dark and forbidding, rolled up from the south and east, augmented by the smoke of hun- dreds of factories, and hung in cumbrous banks fn the northwest. The effect was uncanny, especially to thousands who left their homes with the sun_ shining bright, when they were carried on street cars into the forbidding belt. PLUNGED INTO NIGHT. Passengers on Delmar cars as they left De Hodiamont station congratulated them- selves that rainsticks were not needed. Old Sol was refulgent and his rays shed a beautiful glow upon the minarets and mosques of.the World's Fair buildings. When Grand avenue was reached they be- gan tc wonder if they had not been mis- taken in not providing for an inclemént day and as they proceeded further towards | Broadway they began to make inquirtes“as to the cause,of the strange transition. Across the river in Hast 8t. louis all was bright and cheerful at 7 o'clock, but by 8 the clouds were beginning to obscure the sun. The pall enveloped the Tower Grove ds- trict at an early hour and only was lifted as the Breese carried it on north. Peo- ple residing in Baden to the north, as they arose, looked to the south, and saw dense clouds. It was clear in their district. At Broadway and North Fiftieth street, arti- ficitl hght was a necessary adjunct to breakfasters, and the darkness seemed to increase momentarily. ‘CLEAR IN CARONDELET. To the extreme south,'in the Carondelet disirict, conditions were normal. The sun shone, and early risers congratulated them- selves on a beiutiful day in store. Farth- er north. at Sonth Fiftieth and Broadway, appeare/ to be the center of the staoke and mist avalanches, which were carried on their passage with the northerly wind “The phenomenon is attributable to the massing of smoke, fog and cloud districts,”’ said Dr. Hyatt to the Post-Dispatch. “There was an unusual accumulation of these elements, but the atmospheric con- ditions are normal. The wind was sim- ply not strong enough to diffuse these ele- ments and the appalling darkness was the result. The clouds will be lifted before noon.”’ Dr. Fiyatt’s prediction for tonight and tomorrow is threateniig and continued cold. The temperature in St.-Louis at 7 this morning was 3) degrees. There is a storm over the Atlantic coast. In the Northwest it was 18 degrees below zero this morning.

EIAHIN, Ill., Dec. 5.—A very unusual case came to the attention of Judge Southworth in the county court at Geneva when he committed little Timothy Sullivan of Elgin to the Home for Boys at Glenwood. The lad is only four years old, and his mother died last September. His fathér, Timothy Sillivan, a laborer, abandoned the chiid and left Elgin. The child smokes and chews tobacco like a veteran and has an inher- ited relish for whisky and beer. He told the judge that what he liked best of any- — $ —_—_ ‘ UNITED STATES. .

The Most Serious and Fatal Diseases Arise From Indigestion. Chronic indigestion, or Dyspepsia, while a ve common trouble, has for some time been looked upon by able physicians as a serious thing, and that no time should be lost in treating it Poe at the start, because recent researches have shown that the most serious, fatal and incurable diseases have their origin in simple dyspepsia or indigestion. abetes is uy one form of indiges- tion, the sugar and starchy food not be- ing assimilated by the digestive organs. In Bright’s disease the albumen is not properly assimilated. ile consumption and dyspepsia are twin diseases, and it is beyond question that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for the seeds of consumption. But the trouble has been to find a remedy that could be depended upon to cure dyspepsia, as it is notoriously obstinate and difficult to cure. This has been the question which has puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike until the question was solved three years ago by the appearance of a new discov- ery in the medical world known as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, which it was claimed was a certain, reliable cure for every form of stomach trouble. Physicians, however, would not accept such statements without first giving the new remedy many tests and carefully observing results. For three years the remedy has been thoroughly tested in every section of the country and with surprising and satis- factory results. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets can be hon- estly claimed to be a specific, a radical, Jasting cure for indigestion in the various forms of acid dyspepsia or sour stomach,° gas or wind on stomach, too much bile, undue fullness or pressure after eating and similar symptoms resulting from. disordered digestion. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets were not placed before the public until this three years’ trial left-no doubt as to their val- tue, and they have recently been placed in the trade and can be found on sale at all druggists at the nominal price of 50 cents per package. : No extravagant claims are made for the remedy; it will not cure rheumatism, umonia, typhoid fever nor anythin Put just what it is claimed to cure, aaa that is every form of stomach trouble. No dieting is necessary; good, wholesome food and plenty of it and you mayrest assured that Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest it. Druggists claim for it that it is a pleasure to recommend it to dys- tics, because it gives such universal satisfaction. - a ve We have established a clientele of patronage, who are accus- tomed to the Best Apparel; therefore the character of our ance gg is in aécord with this and, ‘ it’s’ @ source of great sa‘isfac- for you, and cratification for us, to feel assured your purchase here warrante your further favors.

A JUMBLE OF MANY CREEDS ITs cccininitthds tate NO CLAiM OF REVELATION. Buddhist Bells, Fraternal Order Sym- bols and Prayers Like Those of Christians Are Features of Newly Invented Faith. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DENVER, Colo., Dec. 5.—Out here in the West, whence come most of the new things in these days, there is budding still an- other religion. Its temple at present is @ hall bedroom in a suburban street just out- side Denver, and all of its votaries can easily get in. But then Christian Science started in a small way. The name of the new religion is Kosmon, which doesn’t mean anything at all really, but it is interpreted by the faithful as sig~- nifying the era of the history in wh.ch man attains a ph balance. The faith itself is a jum S lot of things—a whiff of Theosophy, a — of Judaism, a sprinkling of Christiani y and a few scrape of fraternal order symbol- ism, all mixed = and flavored with co- operative communism. nt has enl.sted four or five votaries, has an official magazine, the Light of Kosmon, and is attract ng the —e of the dis- satisfied in re ous ma . Services are held daily at sunrise and sunset, and on Sunday evening there is a more formal service, when white robes are worn, incense is burned and the high riestess goes into a trance in which she Solivers lectures under the guidance of spirits—the agtral kind. Creed Manufactured, Not Revealed. The high priestess is a clairvoyant, but she says that has nothing to do with Kos- mon. In private life she is Mrs. F. P. White, and she is now about 80 years old and hag five children. Her husband, who helped her to evolve the new faith and shares with her the bonors, is a stenog- her for a Denver firm of attorneys. hey met in a co-operative co ony in New Mexico, and when it disrupted they were married and set about making Kosmon. They have planned it all out now and es- tablished it in a temple and community house just across the Platte River from Denver. Inside the temple a steep stairway leads to the sanctuary—the converted hall bed- room—in which stands the sacred ark of Kosmon containing the laws of the order of Emethachavah, which is the name given to the disciples of the faith. That is another invented word. ‘“‘Emeth’’ means faith in the Creator and “‘chavah’”’ brotherhood, and there you are. The window was taken out of the chapel when it became that and stained glass was substituted for the plain. That is how rhe cccult light reaches the ark. It is about or feet square and made of polished oak n the best style. ‘ Above it hangs a censer in which, when formal services are held, incense is burned. Mrs. White es the incense herself and ute it in the censer in little chunks whivh ook like cones of charcoal. On the north wall of the room hangs a string of Oriental sounding beils suc are sold in the department stores. On these are sounded the call to prayers. Matins and Vespers Repeated Daily. At sunrise and sunset, when it is time for services, the high priest dons his apron, smites the Or:.ental chimes with a wooden hammer, beginning at the largest and run- ning down to the smallest. he disciples assemble and stand while prayers are eaid. This is the morning prayer: Glory be to Thee, Thou All Light. Because Thou has creat me alive I with all my might ‘to be up Thee. 1 have faith that Thou hast created me wisely, and I know Thou will show me the right way.

GUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTS BLIZZARDS AND LANDSLIDES ARE THEIR ENEMIES. They Patrol Lone Districts and Save the Traveling Public From Harm—In Many Acci- dents Themselves. Brave men of a class whcse virtues have never been extolled ar® the members of the Association of Kailway Trackmen who have been holding a convention in Havlin's Hall. The trackman is the occupant of a position that has come into existence coin- cident with modern railroading. His duty is to walk along the .rack and keep a bright lookout for obetructions or even train wreckers. -Anything which menaces the safety of trains is his concern, and the fact that more people are killed at home than upon railway trains is a tribute to his fidelity, All the risk of railroading is not assumed by engineers and other train- men with whose tasks the public is so familiar. The men who welk tracks have strange and dangerous experiences, a few of which are described below: RIDE ON A SNOWPLOW. ‘“‘My ride on an acrobatic snowplow was one of the most thrilling events in which I haye ever taken part,” said N. Rancos, a flagman from Quebec, Canada. ‘The road was a new one with many stumps on each side of the track. We were ciarged with the duty of keeping it open and a heavy snow had fallen. We were going along at high rate of speed when the plow jumped the track and ran into a Stump. It turned a-complete somersaulilt ard the 15 of us who were on the inside of the car, which is a part of the plow, were thrown in all directions. Nobody was hurt and the ergine itse)f d‘'d not leave the tiack.”’ ‘ COLD A SEVERE ENEMY. “Sudden changes in temperature out in my country form the greatest danger to railways,’ said J. Scott of Parkbeg, N. Vv. T. +=“The thermometer out there dur- ing six months in a year is quite as much of a gs} mpast as the snowjn>w my friend has just described. A Chinook wind may be blowing-one day and the next the tem- “That sort of weather causes the steel rails to snap and upon the trackwalker depends the duty of discovering them before they derail qa train and kill a number of passengers. The exposure is such that only the hardiest man can hold the job.” “I was run over on a railway track,yet in four months I was about as wel] as éver,”’ canaba, Mich. “It happened while I was a section hand on the Northwestern railway. Three of us took the handcar and went to the eastern end of the section to get the roadmaster, P. P. Plumkett. We wanted to show him how fast we could travel and on the way back each man was pumping as hard as he could. “T was on the front end of the car. The handle broke and I fell in front of the car. I was in about the center of the track. The flange of one of the wheels cut off the rim of my hat, and the gearing wheels, which are directly underneath a handcar, struck me. ‘The car was heavily loaded, andit rolled me up like a ball and Gragged and shoved me along over the ties for 20 feet or more before it was stopped. It smashed several ribs, and bits of flesh were scattered along the track. Most of my injuries were only skin deep, however. When they gct me out the whole weight of the car was resting on my body.” IN A BLIZZARD. “During a blizzard near Boston,’ said FE. Jackman, an employe of the Boston & Maine railway, ‘14 engines with snowplows were stalled in the snow. First one engine was sent out with a snowplow to clear the track. Word came back it was stuck, and another was sent out. It was stalled, and then a double-header was sent out. ‘This kept on until the entire 14 were fast in the snow and helpless. They waited until the storm cleared away, when, with a big gang of men they got back to the roundhouse. ‘In all my 17 years’ experience raltlroad- ing,’’ said W. F. McAfee of the Frisco, ‘I have never had a hatcbreadth escape, but I have gone through scme tests cf endur- ance that were just as trying. A big page on the road for which | was work- ing ‘u -$86 compelled me to go for five days and ‘too nights without any sleep and to work most of the time, too.”’ DANGER FROM LANDSLIDES. “On the Norfolk & Western, for which I work,” said W. F. Scott of Martinsdale, W. Va., “the greatest danger is from landslides. The road runs through the Blue mountains and during the spring rains great quantities of earth and stones come down on the track, wrecking any train that may happen to run into them and often carrying away large portions of the roadbed. “In one of my night journeys along the track I found that a landslide carrying with it a rock weighing fully 20 tons had falien on the track. A passenger train was due and-as I ran down the track to sig- nal it 1 heard the whistie of the locomo- tive. “I swung my lantern until the train was almost upon me, but the train whizzed by at the rate of 39 miles an hour, and did not stop until the cowcatcher just touched the dirt from the slide.” “The passengers never knew what @ nar row cscape they had. “Rive years ago,” said C. H. Malone of Macon, Ga., “there was a wreck averted neat Macon, and many lives saved. There CASTORI. lA For Infants and Children. chimed in John A. Fagan of Es-{ ELECTED ST. LOUISAN.

Judge Louis Hollebeck, father of the bride, is one of the best pinochle players in Fulton County. When James Strombaugh arrived here six months ago, the judge found a pinochle expert worthy of his best efforts. Strom- baugh proved the superior at first, then the judge invited him to the Hollebeck home to play. Inder the influence of Edith Hollebeck, Strombaugh lost interest in pinochle and, unknown to the judge, made love to his ee. He allowed the judge to win and tickled his vanity by acknowledging in- feriority. Strombaugh and the judge’s daughter eloped to Canton, Ill, Tuesday and were married. They returned yester ; Judge Hollebeck was enraged. how he had been duped. Accompanied by a dozen relatives, he met the briday party at the station.

TO ALL EXCEPT EXPERTS HE AP- PEARS RATIONAL. Talks of Case and Declares He Hopes to Be Freed From Asylum, Where He Has Been Confined Six Years. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—William 8. Van- derbilt Allen is still restrained as a per- son afflicted with the mental monomania known among physicians as parania. The great grandson of Commodore Vanderbilt, who is at a sanitarium at Westport, Conn., where he has been for the last six years talks freely of his case, and to all except the experts he appears rational. Among the things Mr. Allen said that in- dicated resentment ‘towards his family was: “If I had money enough to hang around vee! aos on the skirts of my grandmother's family, to play polo, to give monkey din- ners, lead the german, and to act as the clown at lawn circuses, I presume I'd be quite the ‘hail fellow, well met,’ today.”’ He spends his time playing golf, work- ing in his garden, or es in a studio he has improvised in a barn ioft near the sanitarium. As soon as Mr. Allen was informed that there was a visitor to see him, he came swinging up the front steps, three at a time. His tall, sinewy form looked in ad- mirable physical condition. About his throat was knotted a handkerchief, and in his hand he held soft traveling hat, which he had dofted as he entered Dr. Ruland’s office. As he was introduced to his caller his manner was perfectly self- possessed and as suave as would be ex- pected in a man of the world well bred and cultured. “Yes,” he said, “I hope I am going to get out of here. I like Westport well enough to come back and take a house and live here, but I want to feel that I am under no restraint. I have tried to be- lieve that my sister sent me here with only the best of motives. The two physicians who saw me at her house made a brief visit, and ] paid little heed to them. In- deed, my sister, Mrs. Ward, had so much trouble of her own at that time that I thought more of her affairs than of my own financial difficulties.’’ Mr. Allen hesitated, and said he preferred nes tu discuss his affairs for publica- on. “T dislike notoriety,”’ he said, “but I sup- pose a certain amount of publicity is now Inevitable in the shape the case has taken.”’ hen he went on, afterrsome urging: “I was annoyed at my arrest in Newport for a small debt. That preyed upon my mind. My sister’s husband lost his for- tune and went to the Klondike, leaving her with the children to care for. They were ill and I was unable to help them as I would have wished. All this worried me. How I was decoyed away for a drive and then brought here is already known. I had perfect faith in my sister’s devotion, and so at first, I did not worry much, even after I knew I was confined in a madhouse, but aft r the recovery of her health. I was much surprised to hear that she had gone ‘Oo England without leaving me one word of hope. Dr. Ruland will tell you I some- times swear and use violent anguese. Well, on that occasion perhaps I did, and pay I swore at some persons who were n nowise to blame for my detention.”’ Referring to the length of time he was in ths sanitarium before making an effort to secure his release, Mr. Allen sald: I suppose it was largely pride that kept me silent for nearly six years. I might easily enough have escaped no doubt, but where could I have gone? I was ap nt- 'y forsaken by her whom I believed to be my best friend. Dr. Ruland gave me a plot of ground, where I worked in the summer. There, to divert my mind, I cultivated onions and radishes for the table. He also cleared out a loft in the barn and gave it to me for a studio. I used to go there and I and paint pictures, but a contented mind is essentia] to success tn art. I never finished any work since I came here. Some. fimes I didn’t have the brushes, some- times I didn’t have the paints, and when I ee i both the work did not seem to go n his patient's absence, Dr. Ruland talk- ed freely of Mr. Allen's case. ‘He shows,” said he, “all the marked symptoms of paranola, a mental disease which is incurable, and his condition has deteriorated since he came here. As you see, he can be typeese' | coherent at times, and may make an excellent impression. At other times his language is not only violent but profane. and worse. Gentlemanly he ig eee to you here today, he sometim uses language most unseemly in the pres- ence of women. “Mr. Allen has some delusions about his mail. He never writes to any of the Van- derbilts. He has an illusion also that he ia being pursued by enemies. “‘He has paranoilac il’ usions of exaggerat- ei self-importance, and thinks at times that he is being poisoned. A sore throat or a silght stomach ailment causes him to express this fear.” A trustee has been appointed to care for Mr. Adlen’s. property, which is not large, but which pays him a sufficient income for ron Tiéeds at the place where he is de- SOCIETY BEYOND IB reace.| Tr | : 4 ‘ radael Juggs. ie, Akron Wel De.

STIRTAN’S FRIENDS SAY HE IS DEAD. His Wife Has Girded the Continent Twice in Search of Husband, but Has Found No Trace. . Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 5.—Analyais of the mys- tery surrounding the sudcn disappearance of Frank A. Stirtan, formerly a lawyer in Chicago and a student of occultism, leads his relatives to conclude that he has suf- fered the penalty meted to traitors by a powerful schoo] in the black art. Stirtan disappeared from his home in Philadelphia two years ago, after he had threatened to expose the workings of a mystic order, in which ne was a high offi- lal, and since then his wife has toured the country in the huope that she might find him. She has girded the continent twice _ and now is in hiding in Chicago, fearful of the vengeance of the conclave in which her husband was an initiate. The story of Stirtan’s mysterious ‘disap- pearance and the causes from which it is to have »pruneg furnish a weird un- folding ot the rites and rituals, the fearful oaths and vows by which disciples of the ‘purple mother’ were bound in their search after the transcendent. Several years ago Stirtan took to re- pearch in the realms of wizardism and mysticism. He became a novitaete in a 3 1 founded by three Parisians for the pursuit of the hermetic sciences and later rose to a high office in a secret order com- | of men who like himself were search- ng for divination of the supernatural. Mirenottats of every race and clime be- longed to the order, the seal of which ex- tended to every land and pledged the mem- bers to impenetrable secrecy. Revelation of the rites of the organization was punish- able by the penalty of ‘‘spiritual and phys- cal annihilation,’’ and it is supposed by Mrs. Stirtan that her husband has fallen a victim to the ritualistic sentence imposed on traitors. . - Mrs. Stirtan says that her husband not only arranged to make public the workings of the order, but that tn his position of grand architect of the society he counseled others to keep out of it and songht to dis- courage seekers after occult knowledge. She believes that reports of this breach came to the ears of the officials of the or- ganization. Two nights before Stirtan was missed from his Philadelphia home strange men came to the house and remained in earnest eonference. Votces rose high in the occult cabal and after the men left the wife pleaded with Stirtan to reveal his distress. “f am in a frightful predicament,’’ he re- plied. ‘i am to be crucified.” The next day Stirtan was missing. His wife has never heard from or of him since that day. GIGANTIC DEAL IN CLOAKS. Grand-Leader Secures the Entire Stock of A. I. Stix & Co., 717-719 Lucas Avenue.

Murky darkness has been of the drawbacks of social intercourse evenings in Easton Avenue Heights. The womes spoiled thetr shves going to and from the neigh- bors after dark. This state of things was intolerable, and after several meetings the citizens appealed to the city, then’to the county and after- wards tv the railroad company. These appeals were ineffectual and a mass meeting was called. The prime movers in the affair were Mrs. Kate Brown and Mrs. Mary Goerenson. At the meet- ing Maurice Brown was chosen treasurer, M. A. Gier secretary and Joel Nieswender chairman. Mr. Gier, being an electrician, estimated the cost of a lighting plant and the citizens agreed to bear the expense jointly. The lights, poles and wires which illum!- nate three short streets belong to about 50 families. INVESTIGATING HOTEL FIRE. Proprietor and Clerk of Lincoln House, Chicago, Arrested.

Running into the Mississippi river from both the Iowa and the Wisconsin shore are many creeks which were once considerable streams, but have now Gwindled to mere trickles. They have rocky banks and beds and occasionally deep pools, which are 20 yards long by &) feet across. These pools conta nh many speckled brook trout, survivors of once plentepus scicola, The trout are as thoroughly locked in‘as if in a well, but they continue to breed and maintain their numbers at the eame standard, though where they go to spawn aud how the little ones so penned in escape the big ones. are mysté@ries which some naturalist is yet to fathom. The pools freeze over in the winter time with ice 86 ‘nches thick, but when the spring run, welta it the trout are found healthy and numer- ous, though hungry enough to eat bark. All that country is om continuous farm, most of the farms being owned by Norwegians. Often the plow furrows will run down to the edge of a pool all the way around. At certain seasous a man may hide in the corm and cast bis fy if he can obtain permission. As the banks of the pools are bare and the water in them: of crystal clearness, the angler must ap- proach cautiovsly and etand at a stance or he will get nothing. There is no difference between the taste of the flesh of these trout and the taste of trout which live in bold rapid full streams. There seems to be no diffcrence in their gameneas. These trout, living, eating and fighting in the midst of wheat, corn and tobacco fields, with no current to epeak of about them and no follage over them, glisten like their more fortrnate wood- land brethren, bave the same cool feel to the fingers and leap as greedily to the fly. It has been forty years since the streams failed them. They are strictly preserved and bid fair to be in their fleld hemes fifty years hence. The Dead-Line in Family Discipline. William George Jordan in Power of Truth. In the sacred relation of parent to child there always comes a time when the boy becomes a man, and when she whom the father still regards as but a little girl faces the great problems of life as an individual. The coming of years of discretion brings a day when the parents must surrender thelr powers of trusteeship, when the individual enters upon his heritage of freedom and responsibility. Parents have still the right and privilege of counsel and of helpful, loving insight their children should respect. But in meeting a great question, when the son or daughter stands before a problem that means happiness or misery for a life- time, it must be for him or her to decide. Coercion, bribery, undue influence, threats of disinheritance and the other familiar weapons are cruel, selfish, unjust. A child is a human being, free to make its own life, not a slave. There is a clearly defined dead-line that it is intol- erance to cross. Merely a Pardonable Error. The stories told tn “the profession" of Mr. Brookfield’s scathing repartee are end- less. On one occasion a young actor who had lately made a bit of a hit in a emall mart was regaling a few friends at great fength upon the “splendid notices” he had received and the various merits of his per- formance. At last Brookfield quietly re- marked: “But, my dear, sir, you are not really at all good In the part. have never seen you do anything well, but in this par- ticular you are simply naughty.” ‘“Indeet!"’ said the — mag, bridling up. “I suppose so distinguished a critic as yourself would deny my being an actor at er “I certainly should,’ said Mr. Brookfield. “Then what would you call me?” asked e young mat, @ little recklessly. ell,” sa smile, ‘I thin leseribe you as @ pardo nable error,”’—Pall Mall Gazette.

I have often seen whole families of older children keep the parents awake o’ nights. First one, then the other is ailing. These children seem well enough at times; but they are white, hol- low-eved, often listless, with irreg- ular appetites, peevish and fretful, wakeful at night and constantly taking cold. The use of Vinol, in conjunction with Vinlax to regulate the bowels, will benefit these children almost in a day. ! We know this because the exam- ples are so numerous right around home. There is nothing in Vinol that can hurt them. It is pleasant to take, and the amount necessary to give the children a start costs but little. Besides, if it doesn’t do the work, we will give you the money back. There is nothing so good for weak and tired mothers and ailing chil- dren as Vinol. It gives them a start, and halps them keep it, and it’s splendid for old people. WOLFF-WILSON DRUG CO. 6th and Washington Av. Mall Orders Supplied. 1 per Gottle. Axpress Paid. AMUSEMENTS.

Dispatches from all parts of this state show that the storm is prevailing every- where with varying severity. At Albany the snowfall is very heavy and all trains are reported from one to five hours late. The blizzard conditions pre- vail at Schenectady, Newburgh, Saratoga and other places in the east and north part of ‘the state. From Rochester to Buffalo the storm is much’ milder. In this city the storm developed into a blizzard as the day grew.

Not satisfied with using the mails, the anonymous letter writer, it now appears, has resorted to the use of the telephone to carry on the attacks against members of North Side society. Two different incidents haye come to light where the telephone was used to carry mes- sages defaming certain persons or te.lin a wife that her husband had just met wi a serious accident and was dying. Mrs. Harry Clarke was informed over the) telephone by a woman's voice that her hus- band, who is an employe of a bank, had just been injured, had been taken to the St. Luke's Hospital and could not survive rhis injuries. Mrs. Clarke was ili at the time. Before | she could ask any further info mation the: person telephoning the news hung up the receiver. Mrs. Clarke called up the bank and they sald Mr. Clark had left the bank a short | time before and was in good health. She! called a cab and was just about to start, for the hospital when her husband entered the door. Mrs. Clarke was presen and ; a physician had to be. called. Another incident was that of a m 6! telephoned to the home of William Manierre. A close friend of the Manterre family was about to be married to a well-known young woman in society circles. One evening Mrs. Manierre was called to the telephone and a woman's voice to'd her the voung man who was about to become the hvshand of the voung woman had been married h-fore and hed several chi'dren. Mrs. Manierre to learn the name of the person who telephoned the statement were without success. Doctor Says He Knows the Woman. Dr. Henrotin tells a story of how he and members: of his family had been made targets of the venomed shafts of the letter | writer, and spoke of his suspicions as to the author. It is believed that in making : these assertions Dr. Henrotin has called forth the interest of the accused person's friends and relatives to such a degree that there will be little delay in putting the proof to the test. “T endeavored to shield my friends from attack and at the same time protect the unfortunate author from exposure,” said Dr. Henrotin, elaborating on a previous statement. in which he said his suspicions hed heen directed inst a former patien’~, who he believed to mentally irresponsi- ble at times, “I laid the matter before oth- er members of the woman's family and sopght to enliet their aid in my efforts. 1] wae opposed, and, while I received no more letters, many of my friends and acquaint- ances did. ‘To my mind the hea is sufficient as regards the letters which I and members of my family received for over two years and which ended about two years ago, when after laying the entire mat'er hbe- fore the woman and her family. I took the letters and the Information I had secured to Inspector Stuart.”’ Dr. Henrotin says that his life has been made a hell for years by the anonymous writer. In an interview he is quoted as saying that through the scandalous stories eiren'ated about a little boy he traced the ] culprit. On. telling the woman's usband of the matter he its declared to ve : “Doctor, they were written b mv wife. I have known it for years nad I can not stop them. T will never go home again.

Investigation shows that although one mind ma'y have conceived all of the an- onymous istlls, there is in possession of Posioffice Inspector Stuart indubliable ev! dence that all of the scurrilous letters werr not traced by the same hand. Th.ee sep- arate and distinct types of chirograph are seen in the pages thai were inscribed with the ‘brutal words which have caused s0° many heartaches and parted so many close friends, and it does not require the testi mony of experts to decide beyond perad- venture that no single individual could have written all of the epistles. Although three distinct specimens of handwriting appeared those who made the examination were convinced beyond a dsubt that the subject matter in all was the con- ception of the same brain—that when the writer the first series of letters feared discovery was near another per’on was secured who put the venomous attacks on paper, and that later still a third person was found to aid in ed the trail. t Say e intimate knowledge of the af- fairs of families of high social standing w.s shown in all the letters, and the same free use of vulgar and vicious language was in- dulged in. Not only this, but the names of the same persons were ment!oned in the same connection in the communications penned by the three different writers. Three Epochs of ‘the Scandal. From the facts gathered at this examina- tion the anonymous letter-writing may be roughly divided into three epochs. The first extending over a riod of a year, and rought to a sudden ter- mination by the vigorous measures taken y Dr. Fernand Henrotin through his per- sonal investigations and the placing of the matter him in the hands of Postoffice In- spector Stuart. In the second epoch the letter-writing seems to have been renewed in a different sty’e of penmanship after the furore caused by the first series had sub- sided, and to have continued until the be- ame ge | of: the present year. The third epoch is marked by a bolder penmanshi», such as a eee ne on the postal cards re- ceived by arles Henrotin within the past six we " The first series is written in a feminine hand. and Includes letters sent t othe mem. bers of the Henrotin family. There is an eviden intent to disguise the handwritin by making the letters with a backhand angle, but the capital ‘‘M’’ and other strik- ing characteristics were conclusive evidence to handwriting oe who exam/ned them that the penmanship was that of a certain prominent North Side society woman, whose name has been mentioned in con- nection with the letter-writing. The Woman Under Suspicion. Of course, the name of the woman under suspicion cannot be published at the pres- ent stage of the investigation. She occu- pies pretty apartments in a fashionable building with her husband. They have no children. She its a cheerful, busy appear- ing woman, thirty-five years old, with brown hair and brown eyes, and bears a facial resemblance to Mrs. Cleveland dur- ing her residence in the White House, Her husband is employed in an executive post- tion with a large firm, and her sisters and cheir farnilies live. close at hand in various exclusive streets of the neighborhood. ee WOMAN QUTWITTED A PARSON | 2 When He Sued for Love Letters From Various Women She Made Them Public Records.

Rode TWO MONTHS ON THE WAY SHE SOUGHT AID IN MAYOR’S OF- FICE YESTERDAY. Chief Executive Sent Her to Provident Association, Where She Is Being Cared For—Slept in Brick- yard Wednesday Night. ' Mayor Wells recently got a glimpse of a specimen he had never seen before and | which he had never believed was in exist- | ence. Jane Bryart, a woman tramp 98 years old, went to his office yesterday, having. just completed a two months’ journey from | Fort Worth, Tex. She was ragged, hungry | and penniless. Her hair was unkempt, her | clothing tattered and soiled. A black eye | completed her dismantled appearance. After hearing enough of her story to learn | she was in need of aid Mayor Wells sent her to the Woman’s Lodge of the Provident | Association. 1731 North Twelfth street, where she will remain until she recuperates and finds employment. When the cotton-picking season was over in Texas the woman asserts she was un- able to get work. Hearing there were many opportunities in St. Louls for persons willing to labor for subsistence, she made up her mind to get to°this city. She put on all the clothes she could and started to walk here. Some one had told her that if she followed the ‘Frisco tracks she could not miss her way, and it was while walk- ing along that ral'way that she met a couple of men tramps. They told her she was foolish to walk when she could just as well ride and ex- plained to her the mysteries of ‘‘beating’’ raliroads. RODE IN BOX CARS. Since then she has been riding in box cars whenever the opportunity offered, but when she became tired waiting for trains she often walked between stations. Tne most irksome part of her journey she de- clared was sitting under a water tank eweltng the arrival of the eccentric and uncertain fre’ght train. She seldom had any difficulty in persuad- ing the trainment to let her ride, although many of them remonstrated with her for leading such a life. When they found she was determined to go to St. Louis they told her to keep out of sight at stations and let her ride until she wag so tired and hungry she had to get off. Notwithstanding the kindness of trainmen she says it took her two whole months to get here. She can neither read nor write. WORE OUT SHOES. She wore out two pairs of shoes on the way, but generous housewives supplied her with food, shoes and a little clothing. She eged from back doors just like the or- dinary tramp and usually her story would be rewarded by her being given all she —. rg uring the entire trip she was not mo- lested by anyone. She often passed white men and negroes tramping along the track, but they seldom accosted her unless rhe spoke to them first. At night she slept in box cars and haystacks. Falling from a train she bruised her face and got a black ore. hen the freight train she was riding on stopped at Chaketoainin Tuesday she came on to the city afoot, and says she sought work al! day without success. That night she walked back to a brickyard she had noticed on her op in and slept there over night. The next day she was advised to seek ald at the Four Courts and was sent from there to the mayor's office. She Spent Two Months in Box-Cars and .

Who can doubt it? What was the money paid to Sam Cook by the corporations, was it not boodlie and was it not intended to bribe the Democratic legisiature and did it not in fact bribe a sufffficient number of legislators, Democrats and Repubilcans, to acoomplish the purpose for which it was intended? And when Gov. Stone appeared among the lobbyists in Jefferson City in the interest of the Baking Powder Trust and the School Book Trust ang the brewers, was he # whit less blameworthy than hia prestige as a political boss a ong the Council of Bt. Louis. Stone used Pe cs nek? Oe tee Geen oe aed = b the : " € fe? a ri , ™ ad wt : ee A germs understood, wili probabiy bring the members of the House to] In 1898 ex-Gov. Stone, with the consent of Attormy- Cuihined Crow, instituted ouster proceedings against the Continental Tobacco Co., setting forth in the petition that this concern was operating in violation of the Missouri anti-trust laws. Stone himself drew up the petition and instituted the suit. Negotiations were pending or were shortly afterwards opened for the sale of the Liggett & Meyer Tobacco Co. to the trust. Moses C; Wetmore, the intimate personal and political frienu of the ex-Governor, was the head of the Liggett & Meyer To- bacco Co. Mr. Wetmore posed as an enemy of the trust’ octopus. It will be recalled that in interviews and at a public dinner given by the Jefferson Club in the Coliseum he denounced unlawful combinations and the Republican party for fostering them. Sometime after ex-Goy. Stone had instituted the suit and thus heralded his in- tention to bust the trust, the Liggett & Meyer plant was sold to the trust at an enor- mous price, Wetmore himself getting about $1,000,000 for his stock. When the ouster proceedings were set for hearing in the Supreme Court, shortly | after the gale of the plant Stone failed to appear, and the case was continued. Finally, when the case had been continuéd a number of times, Attorney-General! Crow sent\for ex-Gov. Stone and asked him why he had not taken up the suit for which he Was responsible. The ex-Governor proffered various excuses, the principal one being that he could not get the testimony he expecied to find. When two years had passed without progress in the suit the Attorney-General] himself took up the case. Attorney-General Crow has always diteanl to talk about this case, on the ground that he was willing to talk about himself, but not to give information about others. “That matter” (referring to the Continental ouster proceedings), he said to the Post-Dispatch, ‘ ‘Was a source of embarrassment to me, and if it becomes necessary J will give the public the facts; not otherwise.” Ex-Goy. Stone can give the public the why and the wherefore. Will he do it? POET ~e PHILOSOPHER FOR CHRISTMAS.

Upon second thought it becomes clear that the statement made in this column yesterday that Tom. Reed's gastritis must have been the result of the- Mark Twain banquet was a grievous error. The Clem- ens feed had nothing to do with the case. When Mr. Reed dropped into the House of Representatives orn the day Congress opened he asked a member what particular legislation would be undertaken. “Nothing, I suppose, beyond passing ap- propriation bills,’"* was the answer. “What!” exclaimed the man from Maine. “Are you going to miss your opportunity to amend the constitution’ ‘‘What do you mean?” “Well, an indefinable something is to be done, In a way nobody knows how, at a time nobody knows when. That, as I un- derstand, is the program against the trusts.”’ From this .t will be seen that Mr. Reed has blasphemed against the holy Republi- can party. His attack of gastritis was plainly a judgment upon him, a maledioction from heaven, because of his sacrilegious words. Let other scoffers beware! The Way Seems Clear.

In his advic? to boys given the students at the new high school dedicated at Phila- delphia Saturday, President Roosevelt com- pared the strnggle of life before the boy of today with a football game. The com- parison {s not amiss. Life, like football, is a struggle ih which those who lack determination, energy, anap and honesty cannot win. Roosevelt summed up his advice in these words: ‘Don't’ filnch; don't foul, and hit the line hard.” That is the way it must be done to win. Protected’ with the head-gear of intellect obtained by application and hard study, the boy of tofay must grasp the signa's of life with precision and execute them with snap. He muet watch for openings and follow the interference offered by his parents, his teachers and” his co-workers en the grid- iron of life. Three of the requisites upon which the sucves® of the boy of today are based are snap, honesty and brains , A Las! et J Bete 7 ¥ : 4 f .

RENAN TALEED TOO LONG. A certain woman in Paris gives periodical dinners, at which assemble most of the best-known wits and literati of the day. The rule of the mansion is that while one person discourses no interruption what- ever can be permitted. It is said that M. Renan once attended one of these dinners, and, being in excel- lent vein, talked without a break during the whole repast. Toward the end of the dinner a guest was heard to commence a sentence, but he was instantly silenced by the hostess. After they had left the table, however, she at once informed the extinguished ‘ndividual that, as M. Renan had now finished his conversation, she would gladly hear what he, the guest, ‘had to say. The guest modestly declined; the hostess insisted. “I am certain it was something of conse- quence,” she sald. “Alas, madame,’ he answered, “it was indeed, but it is now too late! I shoula have liked a little more of that iced pud- Jing.” Mr. Weakas T. Dickens: Ah, Miss Eyern- mind, will you-er—ah—may I be yours?’ Learning to Skate. Skating is by no means so difficult to master as it appears, says Country Life in Ameriaa, Christmas Annual. A few car- dinal points make the sum of first needs, prime among which, for all beginners, is to carry the weight of the body forward, so that if fall you must (and you will) you will fall forward and not on the un- protected back of your head. Keep your knees straight, your shoulders square, your head up, never look at your feet, turn your toes well out, and strike off with as long a stroke, on each foot alternately, as you can. You will soon be master of equilib- rium and thereby of the vital necessity of all skating. One of the first inconsistencies, which will be noticed in a day or two, will be that one foot is much forwarder in its education, and more efficient, than the other. There will be a strong temptation to avai! yourself of its superior capacity. Don't encourage it! Put the temptation behind you! Educate the other foot, or you will be a lop-sided, sidling skater all your life. Never, wheh moving (except of course when pulling up. have more than one foot on thé ice at a time. Don’t bother your head with “inside edge,” “outside edge’ and a host of other things you will be told about. Get confidence—as you get that you will natvrally bear with increas- ing pressure on the skates, and they will, in obedience to the laws of mechanics, of themselves describe a proper course on the inside edge. That ‘es the fundamental stroke, the be- ginning and basis of all: other skating. When this is conquered thé Skating world, with practice,“Is yours. The New Arithmetic.

The Carthagin.an empire was not so much dreaded. The Spanish em- pire was not so widely diffused. The man em- pire was weak in comparison, and Greece was & small village." No wonder the ple cheered. A Little -Old House Hydesville, N. Y. THE SPIRITUALISTIC MECCA YEARLY CELEBRATION HELD THERE ON MARCH 31. A New and Powerful Religion Found- ed by a Fraud Practiced for Him by Two Little Girls, Who Afterwards Confessed. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 6—The death recently at Newark, N. J., of Maria Fox Smith, the last of the celebrated Fox fam- ily and sister of the famous Fox sisters, the originators of modern spiritualism, re- calls the wave of excitement they spread over the United States in 1848. The sisters first taught in Hydesville, a small viilage not more than a dozen miles east of this city. it is a quaint place, with houses of an old-fashioned frame type. The most noted house in the village, and, indeed, in western New York, is a small, two-storied frame building on the outskirts of the vil- lage in which the mysterious knockings were first heard. Today Hydesviile is the Mecca of the Spiritualists of the world, and every year the birthday (March 31) of modern spiritualism is celebrated there. Spiritualism Was an Old Belief. Spiritualism can be traced to the primi- tive ages—in the superstitions of the sav- ages, and even in the worship of the gods by the Greeks and Romans, but it was left for the humble Fox family in this enlight- ened age to originate and give to the world a belief that has develo into a positive religion. There are persons living at Hydesville who visited the Fox house & years ago. They say that they distinctly heard the rappings that were given in answer to questions put by the members of the Fox family, and by outsiders as well. The house was cooumes in 187 by a laborer named Michael eekman. His family soon became troubled by the mysterious noises. For sev- eral months the house was empty. But in December, 1847, Artemus Hyde, the owner, rented the house to the Fox family. For a few months the spirits were quiescent, but in March the following year the noises were resumed, First Heard After Family Retired.

Soon afterward the Fox family removed to Rochester and the same spiritual manifestations continued in the'r new home, but only when Catherine and Margaretta were present. Investigation Made in Rochester. , The city was soon in a state of intense excitement and a public investigation of the phenomena was demanded. A meeti was accordingly held in old Corinthian H in Nove r, 1349. A committee was ap- inted by the audiente. The medium on his occasion was Margaretta Fox, and the usual manifestations were heard. The com- mittee reported that it failed to discover the means by which the rappings were mad The audience, expecting a different report, became excited and insisted on a more thorough examination.

The cold blasts of December have no terrors for foreign bicyclists: Clad in suits that remind folks of the good old summer Gays at the seaside bathing pavilions, the half dozen or more fellows from across the ocean who have come here in search of the gold and glery accruing from the six- day race at Madison Square Garden, which begins next Sunday night, can be found daily at Manhattan Beach working hard to get into first-class condition for the event. Around the three-lap track they spin for hours at a time, and under the direction of Trainer Jim Richards are now in good enough shape to start in the race today if called upon to do so. The foreigners are confident, too, and declare that they will this year do whut others have failed to do in the past, and that is to score first honors in the big race.

Hugh McPadden, who has the reputation for being one of the best featherweights in the country, arrived in 8t. Louts this morning to take part in a contest at the West End Club next Thursday. Who McPadden's opponent will be is not determined, but it will probably be Mixe Tuths. Haughton states that McKenna never had a chance to fight Broad with Tuths at. this time, as Broad is and nas been in New York, recovering from an at- tack of the “‘slows.’’ His manager, Parson avies, stated that Broad would not be able to consider a match for the next three weeks. Mr. John McKenna, who promotes prize fights, came very close to being ruled off the local pugilistic stage as a result of his announcements anent the Broad-Tuths match. Mr. McKenna’s disfavor is due to the advantage he took of the absence of Charles Haughton to boost ‘himself and his fighter, Mike Tuths, “at the expense of the West + Club and fact,’’ as Mr. Haughton puts t. Report of Match Was Unfounded. While Haughton was in Chicago McKen- ra gave out that Tuths was matched with Kid Broad. Two days later McKenna came out with the gtatement that a letter had been received from Broad, dated Chicago, stating that that fightes was chary of tak- ing on sach a gocd men as Tuaths without his having time to train for the affair. McKenna has no authority to make matches fur the West End Club, and when Haughton heard of the affair he wore oft hie nervousness by starting to walk froin the Great Northern Hotel in Chicago to the West End “lub at 8t. Louis. Happening to pass a railroad station on the road he con- cluded to ride, and arrived hore with a gun for McKenna. Haughton announced his intention of in- terviewing McKenna on the subject, and if the replies received and explanations made by the finder of Abe Attell were not satis- factory, he would bar h'm from the cub. Haughton says McKenna has caused him the last trouble he will put up with. Tuths had no part in the trouble.

Both are in New York, or in that neighborhood, and yesterday the idea struck both that it would be well to be in shape in case the unexpected turned up and some club proved willing to offer the guarantee for a contest. The time and place for the occasion are by no means settled, the Hayes Valley Athletic Club of Frisco, being the only or- ganization with a sufficient nerve and pocketbook to back the enterprise with a $5006 certified check that it can pull off the battle. The fighters themselves do not like the Hayes Valley concern. This is peculiar and is the first instance where members of the profession have been known to roll over a sure thing in favor of an uncertainty. The Eureka Athletic Club of Baltimore has but one day's grace in which to come in with its $5000 guarantee, and Louisville, where the fighters have set their hearts on appearing, is still in an unsettled condition as to the future of Senting in that city. The fignt has been pending so long now that discussion of it begins to pall. Gen- tlemen of wealth and taste whe appregiate novelty should contribute the $6000 if only to make way for something new in the game. TUTH’S PUGILISTIC RECORD.

Very little of the bullish conditions and sentiment that distinguished the markets of yesterday could be descried today in the speeulative situation. Oats might be excepted, as the extraordinary scarcity of the cash article held that grain braced up. But the duliness in speculation was ad- versely felt in all the market and especial- ly in wheat. In the St, Louis market the large oOut-movement and decreasing stock kept prices up fairly well pack in the day, but disguste bulls were selling out be- cause of the failure of wheat to bull as they thought it should. In corn there was some selling on the uncovering of an ex- change rule that traders read to prohibit ‘“cornefs,’’ it etating that in fixing a set- tling price for future contracts ‘“manipu- lated and fictitious’? prices could not. be considered. The Devember long, however, did not weaken and gave the market a tirm close. WHEAT—What the trade call a disap- pointing cable came from Liverpool this morning.

Bryan says in reply to the article written recently by Grover Cleveland: ‘In deciding what weight to give to Mr. Cleveland's opinion we cannot ignore the part he has played in recent contests which have resulted in defeat. He speaks of the old-time success of the party and yet he not only did all he could to defeat the party in 1895, but he had the mortification, from which he has never recovered, of see- ing the ticket poll about one million more votes when he opposed it than it did when The Post-Dispatch’s Plan Is to Have All of Them See Santa Claus and Enjoy a Good Christ- mas Dinner.

The committee of citizens in charge of the festival have plans of broader scope than those of last year, but the accom- plishment of these will oe upon the amount of funds placed at their disposal. The greater the fund the greater the benefaction, What will you’ give to this noble charity? Make your contribution as large eas may be and make it promptly. Your subscription will be aeknowledged in the columns of the Post-Dispatch. This is an affair for the children to take the deepest interest in, and they will no doubt do so, as they did last year. Every child who subscribes personally or obtains subscriptions to the fund, does , 80 with the knowledge that he or she is provid.ng Christmas cheer to some vther child not so fortunate.

In the dark green branches electric lights flashed. When they were turned on an exclamation of awe and de- light went up from the assembled thous- ands.

Edward Devoy, chairman of the Christ- | mas tree committee, has secured just such ;}another for this Christmas. Mr. Isaac §&. | Taylor, director of works of the Worlds Fair, has informed Mr. Devoy that he may select another tree from the grounds, and: ‘that D. W. C.

Competency of a Witness Before the Coal Strike Commission. SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 5.—When today’s session of the strike commission was open- long colloquy was begun over objection of Lawyer Everett Warren of Scranton to hearing the testimony of William Markowick, engineer employed be- fore the strike by the Delaware, Lacka- wanna & Western Co. This witness w:s on the stand when adjournment was taken yesterday. He asatruck wher the steam men were called out, and was refused his p.ace when the strike was over because it had been filled. Mr. Warren said the witness should not be heard. His place had been fi led be- cause he voluntarily left it, and therefore ‘the company was not guilty of blackiistin men. Harry Reynolds, for the People’s Coa Co., made the point that the concern he represented promised men e#nod positions ‘if they took strikeis’ places. They cime and the company felt it was yound to protect such men. It was deeided that where it was ad- mitted bv the operators that some men whose places had been filed, or in whose cases there was a special reason for not re- employing them, it would be a waste of time to Gear further testynony, and that such facts may be ‘ald before the commis- sion on request of the eopomng side. The witness was permitted to continue, inas- started his testi- as he had alread a eveloped. mony, but nothing new PRINCETON BOYS AS FIREMEN. | Recitation Building Nerrowly Escapes Destruction.

HE ALREADY HAS SEVERAL. Besides, Doubting Ones Cannot See Why He Should Delay So Long in Selecting Bride. FORT McDOWBELL, A. T., Deo. 5.— Apache Kid, one of the last, the most no- tcrious, and eeseey the worst of the bad Ind.ans of rizona, surprised everybody within 100 miles by coming here the other day. Not only that, but his sudden appearance or the edge of civilization, to sojourn un- der the authority of American authority, caused widespread apprehension, for the residents of the territory naturally ques- tion the motives of the redskin outlaw. Apache Kid, whose identity has been thorough y established, has returned to the “forbidden land’’ from his haunts in the wilderness for the ostensible purpose of sorting marr.ed. He will take unto himself one wife or more, as circumstances may a@l- low. He has had a number of squaws, but that does not count with him. These Indian n.arriages are not seriously considered by the American law and polygamous unions among the Apaches are si]. toierated, 80 Apache Kid means to secure a new stock of wives after the old has become effete. This has about the same significance to him as the buying of a horse has to a white man—except that he wants the wife for nothing. The cold-blooded and unlovely old buck (he is # ‘‘kid"’ in name only) evidently felt that he alone is not capable of making the proper choice, so he brought two Indians along. The trio is now ow looking over the eligible young women of... Mc- IDowell, but, after nearly a week of clOse scanning of every face and form, has not made a single choice. This disturbes some of the old settlers ey They th nk Apache Kid is making too long a stay, and to them his sudden appearance seems omin- ous. They say he could have found a wife without coming here. If Apache Kid does not carry himself straight and clear out soon, it is darkly hin: the frontiersmen will make the climate too hot and dang- erous for him. There are a dozen here eage for revenge for atrocious deeds committed by the desperado on his wild raids not many years ago. Only a few weeks ago it was reported that the Apaches were ready to rise against the whites. The Mohaves were believed to be in secret alliance with them. There certainly was a great deal of disturbance and warlike sulkiness semees both tribes. It is suspecied by many that this visit has something to do with the threatened trouble ahead, and the unwelcome Apache Kid and his companions are under surveillance ev minuie to pre- vent their fomenting le rebe'lion. The Indian desperado feele that he is watched and seems displeased and sullen. Border citizens assert that his visit is a case where “delay is dangerous.” and they are anxious that he select the women he wants or who wil) have him, and go hence. Ifa do not put themselves in the squaw Bun _—s place even for the sake of argu- men Apache Kid appears in no hur O.
