IN FORTY MINUTES SCHNETTLER WEPT DURING FOLE’S ARGUMENT. First Defendant in Boodle Trials to Ex- hibit Emotion—Case Went to Jury 12:50, but Court Adjourned Until @. At 2:30 o’elock this afternoon the jury pronounced John H. Schnettler guilty of bribery. and fixed his punishment at four years in te state penitentiary. Only one ballot was taken to reach the -verdict, The jury .was in deliberation 4 minutes. Schnettled, who was in the corridor while the jury was out, returned to the court- room when the return of the jurors was announced. The defendant was extremely pale and ad the appearance of a man who had nerved himseif to face a dreadful ordeal. His belief that a verdict of guilty had been found was written on his face. He is the only one of the men thus far for perjury or bribery who has shown such emotion. Schnettler took hi sseat in the prisoner’s dock and sat perfectly still while the jury read the verdict. The jury was polled and the defendant remained seated while his counsel was at- tending to his bond. SCHNETTLER WEPT. Tears came to the eyes of John H. Schnettler at noon today, when Circuit Attorney Folk, during his argument for the State in the bribery trial, vehemenently denounced Schnettier and said that the defendant had shown depravity instead high purpose and intent to fulfill the tiust Biven him by the people. Schnettler is the first defendant in the boodle trials to show any emotion and @pectators were amazed. Instead of the cool, even, impudent composure of sume of the others, Schnettier’s face sirst grew Ped. ‘-ecasionally he sto'e furtive glances t>- Ward the jury, as if to gauge the ctlect of the circuit attorney's speech. Mr. Folk did not minte matters. He re- erred to the testimony showing the good - @haracter of ithe defendant. and said that “all men had good chacaeters until they “were found out, ‘Ones; tweet Wists, four’ ‘times and | age a have shown this ‘defendant's ~ guilt," ex@laimed “fixe. circuit atierney. | “What more can be asked?” Schnettler dvew his handkerchief from his pocket and held ft to his eyes. When he removed it there were tears in them, trickled down. his ehceks., During his address Circuit Attorney Folk referred again to the salient points in the Missouri Pacific, the lighting, the Subur- ban deals. The cage went to the jury at 12: 50 and court adjourned until 2. MET AT SCHNETTLER’S. The testimony closed shortly before noon after the hearing of four character wit- nesses for ihe defense, one’ of whom, ' Schnettler’s business partner, was drawn that the hall above Schnettier’s siore in South St. Louis had been the meeting place of the House combine. Just before this testimony the defense had attempted to show from the House re- cords that Schnettler was not associated with the House combine, whose bribery dea] with Philip S.ock was related on the wit- ness stand yesterday. Josoph Laren, who is engaged in the gro- cery business with Schnettler, was the de- fense witness whom Mr. Folk developed into a witness for the state, | “Laren first told in glowing terms of Schnettler’s character and reputation. Mr. Polk asked Laroen iff he was interested -?m the hall known as Schnettler's Hall. He said that he was. /*“Did members of the House of Delegates éver meet there?’ “Yes, they used the hall occasioially.”’ _“By arrangement with: you or -with ‘Schnettier?” “Once Robertson same to me and” ar- ‘wanged to use the hall, Schnettler pbeing ee Hot Springs."’ . “Was any rent paid for the hall?” *Not that I know of.”’ “ely Schnettler at the meetings held "Well, he -used to serve refreshments to elegates.”’ OTHER WITNESSES. | | ‘The other witnesses. to the defendant's Ghiracter, Charlies Muth, John Apple- baum and John H. shart cae. wer not quostioned at length. ‘The only testimony for Schnettler, aside from that of character witnesses, was doc- -wmentary, showing. that .Schnetticr had/ @n some occasions, carly in his term in the House. voted we ere to a combine. -—BAUNHOFF RETURNS HOME| ‘Postmaster Baumhoft | ‘returned to St. ‘Louls last_ night. ington for almost a week and it was a jortec eto ag bi Syed ie tal cit wpc rom t to fos ment, which is sald to be inves, igat- Bt, a of ‘prominent Republicans a with them for rt ti by hours a. ‘basements and. cellars.

YEARS ELEVATED TRACKS FROM BRIDGE WILL BE SUBSTITUTED. _ Financial Provisions Made for Change —A Trip Through the “Hole” on an Engine—Signal System Is Modern and Complete. The Terminal tunnel, for 28 years the nightmare and smoke bath of passengers on trains entering and leaving St. Louis, will soon cease to obscure the city’s en- trance to arriving visitors. Relief from the tunnel’ was made cer- tain at the meeting held yesterday by the Terminal Association's director’s, who voted to increase the capital stock for the purpose of building an elevated loop over the levee. The increase of stock voted for this and other important improvements was from $12,000,000 to $30,000,000. World's Fair visitors who come on trains crossing the Eads bridge will see the river front from a high trestle from which trains will descend to the Union Station yards. Only freight trains will run through the tunnel. UPPER WORLD HEARS TUNNEL. - When the roar of traffic ceases at mid- night and the noises of the city are stilled, there often comes to the ears of the belated pedestrian on Washingiun avenue east of Seventh street, the rumble of a train of cars and the weird tol! of an engine bell. lle steps and listens until the noises die away. A moment before he could have sworn that they were directly unaer his feet, and after they have entirely ceased he goes his way wondering. at their source. There he was directly above the St. Louis tunnel equidistant from the the east and west portals and a train was working heav- lly dp a steep rrade to the Eads briitge At night only does the life with'n the tun- nel mike itself known te the dweller above ground. S§T. LOUIS TUNNEL UNIQUE. The St. Louis tunnel-is, in many respects, one of the most unique urban institutions of its kind in the United States. Lenger tunnels have been built under cities in this |country, but at-the time of the building of the. St.. Louis tunnel it enjoyed the dis- | tihetion of being the only one of its kind. Beforé the completion of the Eads bridge across the Mississippi the conditions at its westérn end were such that railroads en- tering the city over it could find no suf- ficient.termini In the immediate vicinity. The present Union station and the vast traffiC yards were planned, and the only possible way tO them, the tunnel was de- sjgned and eonstructed, the opening of both to traffic’ being simultaneous on July 4, 1874. The day marked an era in the prog- ress of the city, and the opening of the gateways to the commerce of the East waa appropriately celebrated. The tunnel was designed by and con- structed under the supervision of Chief En- gineer James B. Eads and Assistant Engin- eer Col, Henry Flad, father of Water Com- missioner Flad of St. Louis. The construction of the tunnel was un- accompanied by difficulty of any sort. The sell through which it was excavated yleld- ed readily, and little rock was encountered. The method of cutting was in open trenches, such as is being used in’ con- structing the great New Ycrk subway. Frem the river bank to Clark avenue and Eighth street great open cuts were dug and the earth hauled away. Twv tunnels of masonry were then bullt in the cut and covered over with earth to the street levels, which were then paved. The tunnals lie side by side, separated by a wall three feet thick, with openings every 2 feet to permit passage from one to the othas. Each-tunnel is 15 fect wide height is 16 feet from the rails to the top of the atch. The side and center walls are of heavy stone masonry, and the arches are of five-brick rowlock construction. _ GRADE 24 FEET TO MILE. The grade is from Main street to tha west portal, a fall of about 2% feet in a mile | ; The tunnel runs from the end of Eads bridge into the ground beneath St. Louis at Washington avenue, under the center of which it proceeds to the corner of Seventh street. There it curves to the southwest diagonally under the block between Sey enth and Eighth streets and Washington ave- nue and St. Charles street. It passes cross. wise under heavy bulldings, occupying the space that would otherwise be utilized by In the center of this curve is the only roof operiing along its course, a large ventilating plant, capped by ’ and smoke ernittéd by locomotives is drawn }and discharged above the tops of the build. ings 175 feet in the air. The reof of the tunnel is not far em the earth's surface at any place,” the averaye -depth being 5. feet from the street level tu thé inside of the arch. At som» places it ie very much closer than this, as at Fourth street, for instance, where it is only 3% feet. RIDE ON TUNNEL ENGINE.

Case Referred to President Tansey of the Merchants’ Exchange, Who Has Put It in Hands of Arbi- tration Committee. A mercantile war, in which the quality and condition of a ceftain grain is the chief factor, and which involves thousands of dollars, has been inaugurated by the Thyson Commission Co., representing Thomas A. Cleage, the cofn king. The firm filed a pictest with President Tangey of the Merchants’ Exchange yes- terday against the dclivery of grain which was deficient in quality and which the company claims is not of the contract President Tansey referred the matter to the grain inspection committee and the question will. be subjected to arbitration. The war resolves itself into a battle be- tween Mr. Cleage and the elevator con- cerns, the United, the Mississippi Valley end the Rogers compunies. The Thyson Commission. Co, clilms that already over 600,000 bushels of corn have been delivered, a great deal of which was accepted under protest. The company claims that thousands of bushels of corn are now stored on the flat ground floor of an old warehouse, not even in bins, and that three days of soft weath- er would spoil le while the rules prescribe _ MADE A TEST. In order to show that their protest was | right and proper, Mr. John Thyson placed | -| 12 pans of corn, representing 180,000. bushels } 4 which had been delivered by the elevator company, on the tabres of the Exchange floor and had Chief State Grain Inspector Gooding and his chief deputy, Mr. Bears, examine it. experts admitted that out of the 12 pans of samples five were not No. 2, although it was delivered as such. And here is where the rub comes. The exchange com- mittee holds that it connot declaré what grade corn is, but can simply pass upon the actual condition and quality of it. The committee holds that the question of grade must be decided by the state in- spection board or the state inspection ar- bitration commitee, and it is expected that the matter will be arbitrated as soon as the committee reports the result of its investigation. CLEAGE WILL FIGHT. Mr. Cleage, through the Thyson Commis- sion Co., announces that he will fight the matter to the bitter end; and it is antici- pated that there will be developments of a startling nature in.a very short time. The fight is already being felt and is creating no end of discussion on the exchange floor. A number of dealers who owe Mr. Cleage com approached him yesterday and madé application for @ settlement. He told them to go into the pit and buy it; that tn the pit was where he got his; that he had no trouble getting it, and he anticipated that they would have no more trowhble in getting theirs. The 600,000 bushels which have already been delivered to Mr. . Cleage represent over $259,000 in cash, and as deliveries are being made in great quantities if can be imagined to what a financial height the fight the “corn king’’ Is making on the elevator companies may come to. “PAPA, PLEASE.

HIGH TRIBUTE TO WORKERS PERSONNEL OF A MOS TREMARK- ABLE CONVENTION. Pen Pictures of the Labor Leaders and the Men of Great Affairs Who Met in Intelligent Dis- cussion. BY JAMES CREELMAN. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Whatever may have been accomplished by the three days’ debate between capital, labor and public opinion in the National Civic Federation, it is safe to say that Senator Hanna ex- pressed the sense of the discussion in his closing speech when he declared he was in favor of trade agreements and compulsory investigation of labor conflicts, and op- posed to the incorporation of trusts. And, to add weight to his argument in favor of trade agreements between organized em- ployes and organized employers, he paid a strong tribute to the bituminous coal miners who refused to break their con- tract, even to help the men in the anthra- cite flelds, to win the greatest strike in his- tory. Every man who spoke declared that the only hope of solving the difficulties of capital and labor was joint agreement aft- er reasonable face-to-face discussion, FIVE POINTS DEVELOPED. When the great discussion had ended five points had heen developed—the necessity for an official investigation of industrial conflicts as a means of compelling sgettle- ments; the unanimity of organized labor for an eight-hour day and the general op- position to the idea among employers, un- less it can be accomplished gradually and everywhere at once; the determined oppo- sition of organized labor to the incorpora- tion of trades unions; the, practical and smooth working of trade agreements as in struments for industrial peace; and the eee *: ie ae be era : ty oo | the: wenteieras now eratiag in the United States serate. It is a ticklish sub- ject, and one which has divided capital and labor in this three days’ argument. Not even tho suggestion that the workingmen of the country would stand by the pro- tective tariff in defetise of American in- dustrial system based on an eight-hour day—a note that was sounded by several spenkers—brought the slightest prospect of harmcny between capital and labor on the eight-hour question; for If labor pleaded that shorter hours made a keener and bet- | ter workman, capital replied that it would be a scrious handicap to industry to have machinery stand idle for two hours more. The men who have participated in this confererice have teen an interesting set. The short rows of faces in the little hall were not strikingly characteristic, and one found oneself speculating whether a par- ticular man were a labyr leader, only to discover him to be the president of an en- millioned corporation; and the pale ascetic, echolarly person who viewed you through gold-rinnmed spectacles turned out tc be @ strike leader. REMARKABLE GATHERING. Index. The man who iooked most like a Wall street banker, proved to be Mr. Gar- land, who lead the Homestead strike; s0 that in outward appeaance, at least, there is no marked difference between the cap- tains of capital and the captains of labor in America. President Gompers, of the American Fed- eration of Labor, sounded a stirring note when he declared that the American trades unions would not wait for an eight-hour day till other countries adopted it. They want it now. An cight-hour day made a live workman. England and the United States dominated the market#of the world because they shortened the work and im- proved the conditions of labor. Then Mr. Gompers touched en the ques- tion which nearly every other speaker had avoided—the strike breaker or “‘scab.’” He did not deny the legal right of any man to work for whom he pleased, and on any conditions; but there was something be- yond the legal right—the moral obligation. A man dwelling on an open plain might set fire to his hut and be within his rights, but the same man might not set fire to his dwelling in a crowded city. The strike breaker was a moral wrong-doer. Now up rose Archbishop Ireland to ask whose business it was to enforce what was believed to bé moral right or punish what was moral wrong—the state or the labor union? Was organized labor to take the authority of the state in its own hands?

But the thing was straightened out when Mr. Gompefrs declared that organized labor did not rely on force, but had a right to refuse to associate with nonunion men; whereat, the archbishop afterward ac- knowledged that there was something mor- ally wrong about men who would ge!l their labor in trying to pull down the interests of labor, although he still insisted that no striker had a right to use against a non- striker ‘‘moral intimidattion equivalent to physical intimidation. At this there was applause in the room from both capital and labor. President Barber, of the Diamond Match Co., declared that ths present prosperity of America was due to the organization of capital and not of labor, and insisted that unionism must recognize that the law of industrtal progress was the survival of the fittest. Another striking figure in the de- bate wus Mr. Garland who as the presi- dent of the organized iron and steel work- ers conducted the historic Homestead strike. He advocated piece work wages, which had been denounced by the organized labor leaders. He also argued for an elght- hour day, declaring that an eight-hour day in the rolling mills had resulted in i1n- creasing the produetion of the plants from seven ‘‘heats’’ to nine, and had introduced “the turn,, system. Prof. Jenks, of Cornell Universtty, stirred the aucience by his statement that A etrike g yore ati Nay fur oy breaker was false to his class and some- | times a moral coward. But it was possible that a strike breaker might be a high mind- ed, sincere idealist, who desired to be free from the trammels of a trades union. If he was a selfish opportunist, willing to take advantag? of what trades unlons won, but eage> to desert the cause of labor for his own advantage, he deserved contempt, even though he were legally right. Rut it would never pay crranized labor to violate the law. Better to lose a duzen strikes than abandon the law. There was no analogy between a strike and war. In war there was no arbiter but force. In a strike the government was the arbiter. Therefore the methods of war were not justifiable in a strike. Final note was uttered when Mr. Barnes, secretary of the Amalgamated Association of Miners of England, warned America not to be too ready to believe that Eng- land was decaying industrially. | Awe oo oa Be ae . ‘ ‘ ‘ Su) Cae is Uialy "ae Sy Baggett we .

Pain in the back and sides and other symp- toms of kidney complaint had annoyed me for over a year, probably the result of a severe attack of the grip. My daugh- ter went to Wolff-Wilson’s, corner of Sixth and Washington avenue, for Doan’s Kidney Pills. The treatment cured. Since then I have exerted myself unduly and have even contracted a cold.

In the 28 years of its operation not a life has been lost in the St. Louis railway tun- nel due to carelessness or disregard of signals resulting in collision or derailment. The amount of business done through the tunnel since its completion has steadily grown. For the year ending Aug. 30, 1875, only 29,000 loaded and empty freight cars passed through the tunnel, an average of only 80 cars, or about four trains, a day. Today there are an average of 180 move- ments over the tunnel tracks in both di- rections every 24 hours, ranging from 160 to 200.. Of these 100 are regular passenger trains. 60 freight and 30 light engines.

All conditions being right, the east end operator answers the call, at the same time shifting the key of his unlocking In- strument, which move unlocks the corre- sponding instrunfent at the west end, an nouncing the fact by dropping the arm of a miniature semaphore placed above this instrument. The leverman at the west end now shifts his unlocking key, thereby releasing the levers operating the entrance signal. This signal being placed in the proceed position, the train enters the tunnel. In passing over the track circuit it auto matically restores the entrance signal to its normal or stop position. A disc indicator, conspicuously displayed in each office, turns to present its face, on which is let- tered ‘“‘Train on 71" (or 72, A « O58 “ othr Ey Raia mand and 7 | track tn-the tamed F cui te pe-. culiar hoise riade by a Aatie- Pn F gr both offices that the train is in the tunnei.

Kelly testified before the grandjury this morning, in the absence of Circuit Attorney Folk, who was occu- pied with the Schnettler trials in Judge Douglas’ court. “l understand I am excused permanent- ly,’’ said Kelly when asked whether he would return to testify again.

SCRANTON, Pa., Dec. 11.—Lawyers for the miners sprung a surprise on the coal companies at the opening of today’s pro- ceedings by calling to the witness stand J. L. Crawford, one of the prominent in- dependent operators. He is president of the People’s Coal Co., which operates the Oxford colliery at Scranton. Mr. Crawford, who has been attending the session each day, was surprised to be called, and he remarked, as he took the stand: ‘This is a new turn of affairs.’”’ ‘When did your ship coal last?’’ asked Mr. Darrow. *“Yesterday.”’ . “What are you getting for it?’’ “I don’t know exactly.”’ “Can you come near it?’’ “TI can if I want to.” ‘Don’t you want to?’ “Te er.” “You are a party to this commission and went to New ‘York to see the coal presi- dents?’’ “Yes, sir.’’ ‘Then you refuse to give this commission that information ?”’ “T don't think I am compelled to tell.’ ‘“‘Which road do you sell to?’’ * ae POP rd: O_O = ™ - eee * P54 ; Re 3 -_—— ———— a Te —— ee oe a AY re, \¢ , 4 ’ jt jence of the season. curren business in Cincinnati is equally week t as large.

It is a David Belasco play, and ts produced under his specia] direction. “A Little Outcast,” at Havlin’s this week, is not a new play, but it is one of the most decided of favorites with the lovers of pure melodrama. It tells a story of a side of street life tn a great city that is known to but few outside of those who suffer it. The cast is an exceptionally clever one. . At the Imperial Theater this week is “Human Hearts,” a forceful melodrama. Ir is a play for the family, young and o d. It js a relaxation from care and worry, a force in character building.

The police will be instructed to enforce the ordinance to the letter, and an at- .tempt to keep the streets of Alton clean will be made. * The passage of the ordinance is the re- '* sult of the efforts of many Alton ladies.

Mr. Darrow said he called the witness to show that the coa] companies are able to pay the advance in wages asked for. Wayne MacVeagh. in his cross-examina- tion of Mr. Mitchell, he said, intimated that the increase, if granted, would ulti- mately be placed on the ‘“‘bowed backs of the poor,” and he wanted to show that the companies are well able to give the increase asked for without putting it on the poor. Mr. Darrow then continued the examin- ation. “How many tons do you produce in a day ?’’ ; ay ine hundred to one thousand tons.”’ ‘‘And you don’t know how.much you get for it?’’ a “T can give an estimate. ‘‘Wel!, what is it?’ “About $2.50 a ton.”’ On further examination Mr. Crawford said that during the latter part of the strike his colliery was in operation and he got “™ a tan for h'e eoal, “hairman Gray here stopped the examina- tion, saying that the exceptionally high prices a the strike were not pertinent to the inquiry.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. DENVER, Colo, Dec. 11.—One feature of -he Colorado Fuel war is the complete elimination of John W. Gates. When John Osgood had worsted him ir the lega@ fight a few months ago, he sold out and washed his hands of the whole. matter. The contest for control of Colorado Fuel, which has disturbed financial circles for months, ended in a compromise, with Os- z00d in full control, and all the old offi- cers were re-elected. This was accomplished after a show down which developed the fact that nel ‘her party had a majority, and the equal- 'y persuasive declaration that, if Goulc did not agree, there would be a railwa; war. This threat was that, if Gould gaine control of the fuel company and diverte: ts trains away from the Harriman-Haw- ley lines, one of which is the Colorado & Southern, Harwiman would retaliate b: cutting off the Pacific coast business o he Gould lMnes which end at Salt Lak« City. To have held out against such a combi- “ation, without a single road by which he ‘ould carry out his transcontinenta! busi “ess, except at the dictates of his op ionents, was too great a sacrifice, and at the last moment, Mr. Gould submitte: ‘o the plan as outlined by Mr. Hawley in New York. At the meeting the Osgood interests voted *,257 shares, the Gould interests 66,314, an he Hawley interest 94,468 shares. | ERE ot: ences mee MRS. PATRICK CAMPBELL AS BEATA. The newest of the Tanqueray-Iris-Ebbbsmith-Magda Sisterhood. Interest in the theaters this week cen- ters chiefly in ‘“‘Iris,’’ which Virginia Mar- ned is doing at the Olympic. In spite of the character of the play it is doing well from a box office standpoint, as there is naturally a curiosity on the part of theater- goers to see this most talked of play of he year. Some comments on the play and others f its class by a dramatic correspondent of the Detroit Journal strikes me as being decidedly pertinent. This writer says: “It is true that three of the largest pro- ductions now running tell the story of a remorseful woman. They are Du Barry, iris and Mary of Magdala. The Eternal City is dangerously near the Borderland. Not one of them deals with American ife. Their themes are European, every one of them. They are true only of Euro- pean conventions. It is not reasonable to uppose that the people are supporting them because th@y are salacious. On the contrary, they reveal social corruption in its most revolting form. They are mere- 'y worderfully strong plays. ‘‘ ‘Tris’ is not a pretty play. On the con- trary, it is a shocking play. But it teaches a lesson to every man and every woman a moral and an elastic generality. Pinero has sought to prove that there is no such thing. as jockeying with the’ immutable aws of truth; that virtue is not relative; that transgression cannot be explated by mitless remorse, however sincere; that sin which comes from mere weakness, love ‘+f luxury, lack of stability, is no less than the sin of actual vic!ousness; that sin rec- ognizes not the provocation and has no subdivisions. Sin is sin. Mere weeping is no atonement, which comes only with death. Certainly if we go to theaters to hear ermons, ‘‘Iris’’ fills the bill, but again, l nsist that the majority of theater-goers go o the theater to be entertained, and if ‘nyone can find entertainment in a weep- ng. wailing, sniveling woman, they can io more than 1 can. Now, there is “Mrs. Jdck” at the Cen- ury. While it may not be a play that ‘comes under the head “strong,’’ it fur- ishes clean, wholesome entertainment and yne goes home in a good frame of mind with himself and his neighbors. Of course ve do not want all ‘“‘Mrs. Jacks,’’ but if I rad to see this or ‘“Iris’’ all the time I ould take Mrs. Jack Banastar before l vould Iris Bellamy. Even ‘“Zaza.’’ which 2 on view at the. Grand, is less trying, and roodness knows that there is nothing es- ecially attractive about “Zaza.’’ Tonight, In the Odeon, the Choral-Sym- »*hony Society gives the first of its popular concerts. The feature of the event is the first appearance this year of the society's ew chorus of 350 voices which Mr. Ernst Nas brought to a high state of efficiency. The orchestra has two numbers that will please and the occasion is further note- worthy !n that two very popular St. Louis . A. Bensberg, contralto, ind Miss Adah Alice Black, soprano, pre ent choice numbers. The: management of the society has been careful to make the ‘rice of admiss'on merely nominal in order hat the concert may be accessible to all overs of popular music.

This production hag been fitted out with new scenery and costumes, and is one of the most expensively staged shows on the road.

One hundred thousand dollars will prob- ably be asked for the purpose of enabling agricultural colleges and experiment sta~ tions to make a display of their best work at the World’s Fair. Chairman Tawney of the House Exposition committee taiked with Chairman Cannon of the appropria- tions committee at Washington yesterda concerning the necessity for the funds, an t is believed the appropriation will be made without much opposition. If the money is obtained it is the inten- tion to exhibit at the World's Fair the pro- cesses and the products of agricultural ed- ucation. It is the work of 48 colleges throughout the Union that are aided by overnment appropriations that will be lemene rated in order to prove the value of the educational institutions. At the Paris fair one of the most inter- esting features was the German agricultur- al exhibit. It is expected that the port, toe in St. Louis will surpass that. A building will be required for the exhibit, but that matter has not been taken up yet by the committeemen. They are desirous of get- ting the $100,000 to pay for the collection and transportation of the displays, and are willing to trust to the future to get a place to put them. STEEL WORKS LACK METAL.

No man outside public office ever did a greater public service than did Thomas Nast in his work as a cartoonist. Nast’s whole working philosophy seemed comprised in one rule—the truth at a glance. His pictorial editorials during the fight against the Tweed ring did more to bring about the down- fall of that gang of municipal thieves than any other force— perhaps more than all other forces put tegether. Tilden, O’Con- mor, Tremaine and others did good work, but, compared with Nast’s, it was mere drudgery. The public spirit which he aroused and heated white hot was behind them. Without it they would have been paralyzed at the start and without Nast the popular indignation would never have risen to such heights or gathered such force: That Nast’s power was appreciated was attested by Tweed’s rejected offer of $500,0% to ‘“‘shut up.” Nast deserves a high place as one of the practical influences tin American history. He was the first of a long line of car- toonists who have instructed the people in public ‘affairs and enlightened a dull subject with every form of wit, humor and imagination. ——- oe | if J. P.

He was a member. of ibe “Big Four’ who swung the lobby vote. | Senator Farris was denounced by the decent Democratic news- papers of the state as a tool of the lobby and his defeat was demanded. is an avowed Wm. J. Senator Farris Supporter of ex-Gov. Stonc. He told the Post-Dispatch that he was “for Bill Stone for United States senator.”” “Stone is the man for Vest’s place,” said he; “‘he represents the solid Democracy of the state.” In reply to a question about Stone’s lobby Senator Farris offered the mcst remarkable defense of his candidate ever record, put into print. Here are so:ne of the gems of his argument which require no comment: “Why, that’s not going to hurt Stone. I suppose I know as much as anybody else about his lobbying. I know Stone is a lobbyist, but that doesn’t make him undeserving of the honor he seeks. “Of course, Stone went farther than many a professional lobbyist would go when he attempted to hide the shells. “I knew all;about his manipulation of that baking powder deal. But that’s nothing. If a man gets a chance to pick up a dollar or two of fees, and if he is simply acting as a lawyer, as Bill Stone was, why, what objection can there be to his course? “Of course, Gov. Stone is out for the mazuma. Why wouldn’t he be? He has been, too} I suppose, as rapacious as any other legislative agent, but that doesn’t blind Mis- souri Democrats to his good qualities. “I certainly do not see why anyone should take exception to Gov. Stone making all the fees he possibly can. He won’t deny these charges, probably, because they are true, but they don’t amount to anything.” Let it be borne in mind that legal services, but these ‘‘fees’’ Senator Farris speaks of are not fees for ‘‘fees’’ for legis- lative lobbying, for influencirg tegislation regardless of the pub- lic welfare. They are the kind of fees referred to by Ed Butler in h's fomous interview, which aroused public indignation, when “I get my ‘fee,’ but I deliver the goods." as this lobbying for he said, coarse lobby that legis- has Is it true that a lobbyist, a “rapacious legis- Is it true, tool boldly intimates, lative “‘feeg’’ the indorsement of the Demo- crats of Missouri? lative agent,”’ who picks up ‘‘fees’’ trying to secure or defeat “farther than to iegislation in the interest ef corporations and goes lobbyist represents the many would go when he attempted hide the Do the States a professional shells,” solid Democracy of Missouri? people of Missouri wint to be represented in the United by for the mazume2”’’ Senate a “‘rapacious leg-slative agent’’ who is ‘“‘out Is this the tind of man the Democrats wiunt in the gift of the state” electec to the highest legislative office Where is the consistency or decency in denouncing the lobby in the state legislature and honoring a rapacious lobbyist with an election to the United States Senate?

There is one thing, at least, which poor people.can enjoy which is denied to the mil- donaire—that is the joy of anticipation. No millionaire can ever say to himself dreamlily, ‘‘Now, if I only had a million dollars,’’ or “I would give a million if I could do so and so,”’ because to him a mil- lion dollars means nothing. He can set no monetary price on joy, because money to him is no longer a desideratum. It is an accomplished fact, a squeezed lemon. It is half of life to speculate what you would do if you had money. The man who has never built an air castle, or who has never sat on the shore and strained his eyes to see if his ship were discernible on the far horizon, has never lived life to the full. Such speculations may be ‘“‘an opium dream of too much youth and reading,’ but to the man of imagination they constitute one of the chiefest joys of extstence. The gractical man may say, ‘‘Go to work— don’t dream!”’ but what does the imagin- ative one ecnres for such admonitions? Might as well tell the skylark to go to work and stop its singing. We must dream or perish. There is no middle ground. We may. work, and do work, wut half of the hardness and coldness of our daily task Is taken away by the rosy glamor with which imagination covers the fact of toil. We do not care how hard we may have 0 labor, as long as we can dream. It is the bareness of life that makes it at times undesirable. Did men dream more, they would suffer less. Surprised.

LIKE TO BE YOUNG AGAIN. “We all say that we'd like to be young again, but I doubt if we really mean it. We'd like to havé as good health as we had when we cast our first vote, and we'd like it if we didn’t have to visit the dentist so often and so expensively. But if it came to the point that the Genil bounced cut be- fore us and sulkily growled: ‘What is your wish? I will obey, I and the other siaves of the lamp,’ I fancy we should study quite a while with many a ‘Why-ah, let me see now,’ before we pluck7d up the courage to blurt out: ‘Make me 21 again.’ “Recause, you know, you haven't any too much sense now, with all your experi- ence of the world, and if you were 21 again it would have to be in mird as well as in body. The mind is what the body is. It seems a terrible price to pay for a new set of teeth and an undiscriminating appetite. What? To walk again that weary, tor- tuous road; to discover again how many -_kinds of a fool and a failure one can be. and not* haif try, either; to have to take over again all those terms of old Prof. Ex- perience—huh-uh! Not for me. You may if you like. Even if I could start anew with what I have learned of life, which would come far short of what I should really need, it seems to me that it would be a bore to have to sit through the perform- ance again. I suppose if ever there was a successful man, a lucky man, it was Mar- tin Luther, and yet when the Blectrees of Brandenburg wished him -40 more birth. days, he told her he would sooner give up every hope of heaven he had than spend 4) years more on earth.

Many people are under the impression that Pennsylvania owes its name to Will- iam Penn's vanity. In point of fact, it is not named after him, but after Admiral Penn, his father, and thé gon only ac- cepted the name under protest. This fact is proved by this paragraph in a letter written by William Penn under date Jan. 5, 16N1: “This day, after many writings, watchings, solicitings and disputes in coun- cil, my country confirmed to me un- der the great seal of England, with large powers and privileges, by the name of Pennsylvania, a name which the king would give it In favor of my father. I! chose New Wales, being a hilly country, and when the secretary, a Welshman, re- fused to call it New Wales, I proposed Sylvania, and they added Sina to it, though I was much opposed to ft and went to the King to bave it struck out.

For true courtesy is something which cannot be put on and off like party srowns and evening drers suits. It must be something inborn, or ac- quired, and which is or has become part of one's renl nature. If a person be care- ful about the little courtesies he has daily oppertunities of showing, he will hardly feel greatly perplexed or embarraseed over occasional “questions of etiquette.”’ The heme is a place where good manners may be practiced night and noon and morn- ing. Yet goog | manners in very many homes are an almost unknown quality. Why, for -:nstance, should the daugh- tes of a family be all smfles and sweet- ness when in society, yet be irritable and selfishivy rude in her home circle? Why shonld either daughter or mothdr feel ashamed of intidiness before strangers, yet allow the house and themselves to look slovenly when only “members of the family are around?

CONSTANT READER. Co-Operation and Satisfaction. To the BDé'tor of the Post-Dispatch. Please let me give these city women ad- vice regarding dishes, fire, etc.: Every evening after supper I wash and dry the dishes. During this time my husband reads the paper. After I am through with my kitchen work I lay the fire ready to light in the morning. Then I am ready to devote the rest of my time to my hus- band, who !s very kind to me. Next ques- tlon: Who lights the fire? Why, the one who wakes up first. All we have to do is to hold a match to it. Why can't all you women do this? When the water boils I get up and get breakfast, during which time my hus dad dresses. After breakfast he gets an armful of ‘crust tea,’’ several ‘‘iemon ples’’—then we say ‘‘au revoir.” SEMPPR FIDELIS. St. Louis. Poem by Adelaide Proctor. To the Bditor of the Post-D spatch. In answer to a Post-Dispatch subscrib- er’s inquiry for a poem of which the last stanza was printed, I send you the entire poem, of which Adelaide Annie Proctor is FIDBLIS. You have taken back the promise That you spike so long ago; Taken back the heart you gave me— I must even let it go. Where love once has breathed, pride dieth; So I struggled. but in vain, Firet to keep the links together, Then to piece the broken chain. But it might not be—so freely All your friendship I restore, And e heart that I had taken As my own for evermore. No shade of reproach sball touch you, d no more a claim from me; But I will not have you fancy That I count myself as free. by the ok! lee: That from out the heart I gave you My strong love can fade away! It will live. No 7 may see it; In my soul it will lie deep, Hidden from all; bet I shal) feel it Often etirri in its sleep. Go remember that the friendship Which rou now think poor and vaia, Will endure in hope and patience, Till you aek for it egain. Perhaps in some long twilight bour, Like these we have known of old, When past shadows gather round you, And your present friends grow cold, You may stretch your hands out towards me, Ah, you will— know not when— I shall murse my love and keep it Faithfully, for you, till then.

Chicago statisticians, who are still using a basis for aiming at the crops that was out of tional Scored a Gain. New York was again held responsible to- Gay for changing the complexion of the local speculative situation. A drastic shake- down of prices in the East exerted paipa- ble effect on values here, and most parts of this market suffered, though it cannot be truly said that there was general weak- ness, nor that the roster failed to show _Técuperative powers. Nevertheloss, the local list was material- ly unsettied by the disqu.eting outside Markets and transactions increased to an @xtent believed to signify liquidation by some ‘“‘long” holders. ‘There was heavy buying of Mercantile | ment stock again today, and a total of shares changed hands on a basis of $4vv, with more wanted at that figure by the e interests which have been persistent ol these shares for the past two . It is generally beleved that certain Weak holders have been re:iieved of their belongings and that current purchases will pass into permanent hands. American Centrai ‘rust struck the chute and fell %3 to $165, with sales of 100 shares thereat, following a i0-share transfer at lonial Trust lost a point to $202, and Lincoln Trust also fell back to $240.50, a drop of $2,.clusing at this figure. A fractional recession was shown by Mis- souri Trust at $123.25, with $123 last bid. Among the bank shares a calmer feeing prevailed and one stock, Merchant's-La- clede National, made a point gain to $3ul, where there were buying offers for more. Thirty-five shares of National Bank of Commerce fetched $385, a 50-cent decline from Wednesday. There were .arge amounts wanted at a shade below this fig- ure at the cloge, but no further concessions were allowed. Most of tne other bank stocks were steady, with very little change. Both United Railways preterred and Bt. Louis Transit were under pressure, which Was most stringent in the former anu forced it off 50 cents, to $81.50. Transit was taken at $27.50 and $27.25 and Closed at 27.37% bid. The 4s of the United Railways Co. sold a@t $84.75 to the total amount of $17,000, par Value, and were repeatedly offered at that quotation before the close. -Granite-Bimetallic Mining was steady and inclined to be very dull.

Strong Close—Cash Oats Still Scarce. Grain. The December corn deal took on a@ very menacing aspect today. Not alone was the price up another cent, but the long showed that he was not satisfied with the quality of the contract corn being delivered him and was determined to contest such deliveries. This had a disquieting effect upon the people who were short and quite a number came into the open market and paid the long’s price to get out. Others attempted to obtain a settiing price from Mr. Cieage, but he refuse to name one. Wheat had another strong turn and closed at very near the highest price yet made on tne advance. The failure of the market to bréak on the bearish government report encouraged investors and the foreign news came strong enough to keep bul steam up.’ The Venezue.an troubles were a fac- tor in the market and a bullish one at that. Oats showed no abatement of strength. WHEAT—A government report on the gruwing crop that indicated a nearly per- fect condition for the piant at entering winter, besides the largest acreage ever reported, the whole pointing to the great- est winter wheat crop in prospect ever harvested, even such a bearish statement as this did not break the market this mo.n- ing. There were too many anxious to pur- chase on any decline, showing plainly how bullish general speculative sentiment was. Comparatively well sustained cables, Liver- pool having only declined 4d. Colder weath- er promised and the local situation on re- ceipts and stocks bullish, afforded the re- cessary encouragement to those whvw feel that way. Northwestern receipts were smaller also, the 58 cars at Minneapolis and Duluth against 724 a week ago and 662 a year ago. St. Louis received 62,900 bu, against 22,600 bu last year, and a further good reduction in the stock made. May opened with sales at 75%c to 7b%Cc, and advanced to 76\%c, latter 4%@%c above rere: close. December sold %c higher ‘ ne, or July 724%c bid and no sellers at The world’s available supply of bread- stuffs on Dec. 1, according to the Chicago Trade Bulletin, was equivalent to 185,729,000 bu, this indicating an increase during No- vember of 11,694,000 bu, where the increase for October was 38,495,000 bu, and for No- vember, 1902, when the total on hand was 210,024,000 bu. The supplies of this country {and Canada on Dec. 1 were 108,383,000 bu, an increase for 14,302,000 bu last month and 19,135,000 bu smaller than on Dec. 1, 19v1, when the November increase was 25,183,000 bu. These figures bear out the figures on available supplies given in last Sunday's Post-Dispatch as showing how the preced- ing large increases in supplies had been greatly reduced since Nov. 1. The Cincitinati Price Current says: Wheat =“ is maintaining high condition. There ts little apprehension from present weather conditions, Movement is moderate. Corn is slowly improving in marketable condi- tion. Hog packing for week was 695,000 ~ nay against 775,000 for same week last ear. An easing off in May to 75%c followed date years ago, and consequently their es- 'timates, largely underestimating the ac- ‘tual ylelds, as proven by the final report, figure a crop of 550,000,000 bu on the De- cember figures of the government. The statement that the acreage seeded this fall was 5.1 per cent larger than that of 1901 indicates that the area for that year of 32,000,000 acres was below the actual acre- age seeded. Argentine cables indicate that the wheat crop will be injured in quality by rains at harvest, just as wore the winter wheat crops of America and of importing Europe. That would mean the latter must continne to depend upon the spring and whites wheats of America for choice wheat. Duluth wires that only 60 cars of wheat were expected there tomcrrow, and reports the sale of three cargoes sent to Buffalo. Broomhu!1 cables that damage by frost to the whent crop of South Russia has been confirmed. In all about 90,000 bu corn was delivered today on December contracts to Cleage’s brokers. One Rosario cable reports weather in the Argentire favorable and another from same point says weather very changeable. Queer weather that must be. Heavy snowstorms in southern Russia, affording wheat the much desired protec- tion, caused an easier feeling in Liverpoo! wheat early in the session. Speculative offerines were quite light. however, and the nearby and most distant months re- covered. Corn was affected by the easier feeling at close of American markets last night and later eased off, owing to dull- ness and lack of suppett.
