The Russian squadron entered the Straits of Korea Saturday morning, 4nd shortly after noon the Japanese fleet was sighted off the Island of Iki and between that island and the Tsu Islands. The Japanese squadron retired slowly toward the north. It was evident that Togo preferred to begin the fight at night. That was not to the liking of the Russian conmmander, who ordered full steam and closed up with the Japanese squadron, At 5 o'clock in the evening the Kniaz Souvarof, at the head of the Russian squadron, which was advancing in column of twos, came within range and fired the firet shot of the battle from a 12-inch gum in her forward turret. The Russian fleet then moved up into line of battle, but still the Japanese guns made no determined return of the enemy's fire. By this ‘@ne dusk had fallen and the Japanese torpedo flotilla dashed forward. A high sea was running, but the tiny craft plunged into it and bore down on the Russian ficet at top speed, their advance being well covered by the Japanese bat- tleships’ heavy fire, by this time energetic and deadly.

Moses ‘Thomas, whose brother, John Thomas, is on the bond of Arthur Spaugh, told Prosecutor Dameron Monday that he Was positive that he knew where the boys were hiding.

Sunday afternoon a hand fire-engine was hauled to the, Spaugh home and the old- fashioned well was pumped dry in the hope of finding the instrument with which Sheriff Polk wa: killed or his revolver. The effort was fruitless. Searching the premises, however, the cit- izens found a bucket containing’ three ‘Sticks and three half-sticks of dynamite. It is believed that the Spaugh boys used this to kill fish, and little faith is had in ‘the stories of their probable connection “with bank robberies. A. man from the St. Louis Pinkerton Agency is expected at Ironton Monday to work on the case. William Spaugh §Sr., who is destitute now as the result of the fréquvent troubles of his sons, whose fines he has paid, time and again and, in the case of Arthur, whose trial expenses he bore, says that his wife encouraged ihe boys in their bravadoes, telling them that they were brave.

They also asked that he placesea guard at the Spaugh home, to prove: that no communication was at- tempted. He said he could not do this. Spaugh and Mrs. Denny then decided to obtain lodging some place else and went to ‘the two hotels and the principal boarding house 6f the town.

Woe. WIFE, 21, SUES HUSBAND, 58 Official of Typewriter Company Says Wife Kept Him From Business Meetings. Monday was default day in the divisions of Judges Hough, Taylor and Sale in the Circuit Court, when 62 uncontested divorce cases were heard. In Judge Sale’s court Lyman M. Nor- concern’ asked divorce from Mrs. Eliza- beth Norton, whom he married in Jersey City, Aug. 9 last, and from whom he sep- arated March 14 last, filing his divorce pe- tigion the same day. He charged that she wat him, and on one occasion prevented him from attending the directors’ meet- ing of a corporation of which he was sec- retary. He.testified that he explained to the directors that his wife would not let him come, and the meeting was deferred for several days. Judge Sale took the’ case under advise- ment when Norton testified that he met his wife by agreement and gave her $2265 which, he said, was in the nature of tem- porary alimony to enable her to fight the case. He said she was now in Chicago. Judge Taylor dismissed the suit filed by Irene Van Allen:against Edward Van Al- len, whom she accused of desertion, be- cause the application was filed before the year which is reauired to establish a de- sertion charge. Mrs. Van Allen testified that she was inarried Jan. 2, 1904, and the next day Van Allen borrowed $80 from her, saying he was going to fix up a home for her at Fairfield, lll. A few days later he got $29 and four rings, which he said he was going to have cleaned, and she has seen him, she said, but once, on the street, since that time. Judge Taylor also continued, for irregu- larities in returns of service, the suit of Georgie Otten, 21, against Benjamin Frank- lin Otten, 58 vears old. They were married in San Francisco May 20, 1902, and she al- leges that he deserted her in St. Louis June 8 last after humiliating her by refus- ing to allow her. sisters to visit her or to allow her to visit her sisters. Robert L. Hancock was granted a di- vorce by Judge Taylor from Mrs. Nellie Hancock, who, he testified, deserted him for another man, known to him as ‘‘Jim’”’ Owens, June 6, 1904: Miss Elsie Wallace testified that Mrs. Hancock wrote back from Denver to ask her to keep her itn formed as to the condition of the chil- dren, Hall, 15, and Ruth, 13.

Fry boarded an Eighteenth street car at Washington avenue at 10:45 p. m. Satur- day. He called a man on the sidewalk names, and James Raney, conductor, or- dered him to cease using the ianguage. Fry hit him in the eye. Danaher and Mahon were on the back of the car, and they went in to see about it. Fry fought until they dragged him off the car at anklin avenue. Then he bat- tered them without prejudice while they dragged him to Seventeenth street and turned in a aall for a patrol wagon. A crowd of #0 gathered, As a farewell effort Fry bit Danaher in the hand. In: the Dayton Street Police Court Mon- day Judge Pollard fined Fry $50 for resist- ing arrest and $10 for disturbing the peace. PENNIES AS STRIKE WEAPONS Nonunion Street Car Conductors Are Deluged With Coppers for Fares. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LYNN, Mass., May =-.—A novel scheme is being put into practice in Lynn by the members of the labor organizations to force conductors of electric cars who do not al-' ready belong to the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street Railway Employes to join it. Patrons of electrics well know with what horror conductors in general look upon pen- nies. Oniy women who are out on shopping tours are accustomed to give these when paying their fares, and in return they get the stony glare, and sometimes are “acci- dentally’’ carried beyond the point where they desire to stop. kivery union conductor wears a button in the lapel of his coat, and when this button is missing it is the cue for the union men of other crafts to give that conductor five pennies, . The other day one conductor -got 130 pen- nies, most of them from union men who were on their way to a ball game. When the conductor learned the cause of the flood of cents he joined the union. ‘FOUR BOYS SENT TO REFUGE. Two Stole Shoes and Others Were Implicated.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFRPRSON CITY, Mo., May 2.—If Gov, Joseph W. Folk had stood at a sec- ond-story window in the southeast corner of the Executive Mansion yesterday he might have beheld at regular’ intervals small group¢# of persons filing in and out of the leading hotels, smacking their lips as they entered and using a handkerchief to dry them as they emerged. z Going a little further the Chief Magis- trate might have learned that the great lid which he believes he has placed on ail the thirst quenchng parlors of Mis- souri has suddenly come off in his own city and almost under his very eyes. But it must not be understood that the saloons are wide open here. Nor is it to be inferred that any one can get a drink who wishes it. It appears the good natured hotel pro- prietors merely dispense Hquid refresh- menis to their guests and close persona! friends. In order, however, to afford these ac- commodations .the dramshops are opened and entrance is found by means of back doors. Once the recipient of such favors is inside the barroom the door is locked. The -proprietor employs no lookouts. To all intents and purposes he feels that he is complying with the Sunday-qosing law. f you are a friend of his and walk into the hotel wih two fingers up, that is sufficient for you to quaff all the strong drink your heart desires. Sometimes a guest is allowed to remain in a saloon 15 minutes, but this, generally speaking, is the time limit. A Post-Dispatch reporter had no trouble getting under the lid at the State Capitol. There probably were a dozen persons in- side the saloon when he entered. All of them were drinking freely, but none were under the influence of liquor. Drink More Under Lid. The proprietor of this particular place told the Post-Disp&tch currespondent that these men, ever since the lid had been on, bought three times‘as many drinks on Sundays as they did when the saloons were allowed to remain open. “Sometimes one man will spend $2 or $3 now,’ said he, ‘‘where formerly he only spent $1. That is because when he gets a chance to get under the lid he takes away with him a large enough supply to satisfy him for the remainder of the day. “We open uP only four or five times a day, but that is often enough to accommo- date our patrons.’”’ Jefferson City has 22 saloons, or about one to every 500 inhabitants. Its popu- ation is made up largely of Germans. a majority of whom appreciate a glass of beer as well if not better on Sunday than any other day. Since the ~ ae were closed the receipts of the Jefferson City Brewing Co. have shown ae gradual increase. Vhere one wagon was used to make deliveries on Saturday, three or four are now employed. The ‘‘home”’ delivery business is especia]- ly prosperous. From this source alone the receipts of the brewery have gone up more than 80 per cent. ‘ ; The brewery managers are pleased at the attempt to fasten down the lid, for they say this means an added number of Sun- day outing parties, which always consume a generous supply of the amber fluid. | RUSSIA AND AMERICA MAY HAVE TROU = =" . i id United States Prompt to Call Czar to Account for Sinking of Ship Flying Stars and Stripes—Nicholas Pleads Necessities of- War. WASHINGTON, May 29.—Acting Secre- tary of State Loomis has already instruct- ed Ambassador Meyer at St. Petersburg to call Russia to account for the reported Sinking of an American ship by Rojest- vensky’s squadron off the Island of For- mosa. The incident was reported to Washing- ton by Minister Griscom of Tokio. Not even the vessel’s name was known and the particulars of the Russians’ action are en- tirely lacking. It is conceded at Washington that the sinking of the ship may have been justi- war and resisted flight. The Russian officials with whom Ambas- sador Meyer has informally discussed the matter say they have no report as yet, but search or attempted are inclined to plead the necessities ot} war, suggesting that Rojestvensky was compelled to sink the vessel to prevent it from giving information to the Japanese. This hypothetical explanation was not a fortunate one. Officials of the State De- partment assert that such an action would be wholly unwarranted. If it proves to be the correct theory, full satisfaction will be filable, if the vessel carried contraband of immediately demanded. BOY CRIMINAL HOLDS RECEPTION 100 Playmates at Train to See Youth Who Robbed Post- office Seven Times. A remarkable juvenile criminal, in the person of Ernest Church, aged 15, was taken through St. Louis Monday by Deputy United States Marshal Daugherty, en route from Hannibal to the Reform School at Booneville. The boy was convicted of rob- bing the Postoffice at Madison, Mo., last week and was senteneced in United States District Court to a term of four years. Young Church was caught in the act of robbing the Postoffice, after he had robbed it six times and escaped without detection. He says he is a brother of William Church, held in the jail of this city for the murder of his foster-parents at arrenton, Mo.. Deputy Marshal Daugherty says that when the train carrying the boy prisoner passed through, Madison there were about ome hundred boy and girl friends of Church at the station to see him. Some of the girls cried when they-saw him. Many waved their handkerchiefs to him. ‘The boys crowded around the car and listened while he told of robbing the Postoffice. * Through all the time of his arrest and imprisonment, young Church had shown no sorrow for his crime until his foster-moth- er, Mrs. J. H. Irvin, who took him from a foundling asylum, spoke to him at tne station, “Be a good boy,’ she said, and choked with tears. Then the young fellow dropped his brava- do and cried. He was crying when the train pulled out for St. Louis. Choir Singer Seriously Ill, Mrs. Thrasher Hall, formerly Mrs. Fan- nie Flesh Morse, for some years soprano of the Lindell Avenue M. E.

Suv |WOUND IN “CRAPS” MUST HAVE SOUND USINESS SYSTEM Scotch Tramway Man Tells What Chicago Should Do With Street Railroad Lines to Make Them Municipal Successes. CHICAGO AND GLASGOW CONDITIONS COMPARED Some of the Difficulties the Conny One Will Have to Contend With in the Windy City’s Work. Leased Wire From the New York ciel Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 29.—James Dairymple, the superintendent of the city tramway lines of Glasgow, Scotland, who was in- vited by Mayor Dunne of Chicago to for- mulate plans for the new municipal street car system of that city, was royally enter- tained here. So many invitations swooped down on him that he was utterly amazed. Mr. Dalrymple was greeted at quarantine by Mr. O’Shaughnessy, Mayor Dunne’s rep- resentative, and by members of Municipal Ownership League of this city. Mr. Dal- rymple is a plain spoken, straightforward man, and what he does not know about municipal ownership is not worth while. In the management of the Glasgow tram- ways Mr. Dalrymple has perhaps the most difficult task of any of the officials of that city. He has to control the running of over six hundred cars daily over 724 miles of streets and keep in a condition of perfect organization 4500 employes. Although there are grumbles now and then from passengers who consider that they have @ grievance, the system works with a smoothness that is remarkable. Mr. Dalrymple is 46 years of age. Since 1890 he has been connected with the tram- way syste mof Glasgow. He has had a wide experience in tramway work. But here are some of the things of Chicago tramways which Mr. Dalrymple will have to study: In Glasgow every passenger is guaran- teed a seat for his fare. In Chicago men, and women, too, are glad to hang on by their eyelashes. GAME FIGHT FATAL George Heines, Shot Sunday, Dies Few Hours Later in City Hospital. George Heines of 1900 South Third street died at 2:30 a. m. Monday from the effects of a bullet wound received in a fight at the foot of Sidney street a few hours previous- ly, following a quarrel over a craps game played on a fishing trip in East St. Louis Sunday. Edward Bowman of 736 South Second street and William~Lesh of Broadway and Sculard street are held as prisoners. All the men are hucksters. They went to Bast St. Louls to fish Sunday, quarreled over the game of craps, and came back to St. Louis Sunday night. Bowman savs Lesh and Heines followed him after he stopped at the foot of Sidney street, and he was knocked down. He fired one shot while he was on the ground, it is alleged, and Heines was wounded. He was taken to the City Hospital. The wound was in the abdomen. —_— basis. In Glasgow the geystem is run exactly as if controlled by a limited liabil- itv company. workine for dividends with the very important exception that the divi- dends instead of going into private pockets are utilized for the wT dams and im- proving of the system itself. o I shall say to Chicago: ‘Make your tramways sound as a business concern from the very start; allow no desires for’‘early and large profits or desires for cheap and fast ervice to lead you into reckless expendi- lure that will not in due course bring its proportion of profits, and always have your books and accounts open and above board for the examination of all the citizens. Keep a good pliant; keep a good staff; pay them good wages, and when you make a profit then you canuse it for still further developing your lines and cheapening your service.”’ Would Recommend to Any City. “I have no hesitation in recommending any city, however large, to adopt Glas- gow’s system of electric cars, in the knowl- edge that if worked in the business-like way, as the corporation of Giasgow work their sysem, it would be equally success- ful.”’ ‘Does Glasgow own other than the tramway system?’ was asked. “O, yes,’’ smiled Mr. Dalrymple. ‘‘The city now owns and controls its gas, elec- tricity, water, parks, markets, baths, lodg- ing houses and telephone system.”’ ‘“‘How mamy men are employed on the tramways?’ “About 4500. In this country, I under- stand that every man holding a municipal osition has to have a pa pees pull. In tlasgow there is no political preferment.”’ ‘*To what do you attribute the great suc- cess of the Glasgow municipal system?”’’ “To the fact that we do not: strive for dividends?’ replied Mr. Dalrymple. ‘“‘Ever citizen is a self-constituted inspector, their complaints are always listened to.

They don’t even Knit,” sald Mrs. Mary Breeden, aged 107, of 1400 Ohio avenue, East St. Louis. She was judging life by an experience of more than a century, yet she made her observations as a woman of 7 might. While 1 sat reckoning the events that had tranepired in her lifetime, she went on with her story. “I've worked all my life.

Her eyes are a bright brown and they can see pins on the fioor four feet away. There are but few white streaks in her black hair, which she wears parted. She has a number of her owm teeth. “Never had my teeth filled,” she said, “only want what’s my own. Never wore my hair any other way but this way. It used to wave some.”’ She is below the average height of wom- en and is slender. She walked well until two years ago, when she became ill because of a paralytic stroke. She walks around the house, but she can- not make the trips to St. Louis and Belle- ville that she used to enjoy. Almost Tired of Living. I wanted some rules for long life, but she laughed. ‘I’ve lived so long, I’m almost tired. “I never took much medicine and I worked. “I’ve been angry a good many times. I used to have a high temper and I’ve wor- ried a great deal, too. “I sleep well, even now. I don’t get up until 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning."’ As I turned to talk to her daughter, Mrs. Mary Leader, who told me that her mother had reared six sets of children—her own six and those of her relatives—-Mrs. Breed- en left the room and I feared that she had become wearied. But she came back soon with a little roll of cloth in which were quilt pieces. That's her present pastime and you would be ladies and gentlemen.

Can you figure that you save in any way by allowing things to go unpainted when they need it? Nothing will wear so well if its surface is left exposed, especially so if subjected to outdoor wear.

Sullivan had a prejudice against the boughten cigarettes, he cmoked none that he did not roll himself and he fancied that he was thereby avoid- ing any possible danger. But two weeks ago he concluded that he was smoking too much and he decided to stop. He stopped. Stopped abruptly and had sufficient will power to stay stopped. And then his troubles began. He first noticed a roaring in his ears, which increased so much that for two days he was unable to work. Last night he went to the City Hospital. “I could cure myself with tobacco,”” he said, “but I have quit smoking and I in- tend to stay quit.”’ The physicians agreed that his trouble was due to having ceased smoking sud- denly. ‘You have had rheumatism all the time,” the doctors told him, “‘but you have been so full of tobacco that you did not notice the disease. The nicotine deadened the pain. Your deafness and the buzzing in your ears are due, all right, to the sudden change in your habits.

Harbaugh, President. ———. In Glasgow there are rush hours. The cars under the 30 seconds headway direct- | ly through the center of the city and | keep the passengers on the move. In Chi- | cago the lines come to ‘‘dead ends’’ in the business center and the result is conges- tion. - In Glasgow all citizens believe themselves to be part owner of the tramway sys- tem and to take a natural pride in it. In Chicago it is self-appointed duty of citi- gens to curse dailv for a brief time the inefficiency of the service. Mr. Dalrymple is expected to tell how to straighten out all these tangles. To the casual observer he certainly looks capable of doing it. Looks Like a General. He has the aquiline features of a Gen- eral. His nose is curved like the beak of a hawk. His eyebrows are bushy and stand out over a pair of brown eyes that twinkle with intelligence. He wears a full growth of whiskers, clipped to a two- inch length, and his hair flares up from a sloping forehead in a stiff pompadour. His appearance suggests quiet force and in- tensity of observation. He said, when seen at the Hoffman House, that he-could not understand why the people in this country seemed to un- derstand so little about municipal own- ership. In Glasgow, he said, no one knows ef any other way. “Since the street railways have been municipalized,’’ he said, ‘‘wages have been faised to 12 and 15 shillings a week. The new men get $12 and the older men $15. It costs less to live in Glasgow than here, so that amount of money means more. We pay the highest wages in Scotland. ‘Then the employes are wonderfully well treated.

Then he proceeded to blow open the safe in the express car and help himself to its contents.

City Marshal George C. Weinbrenner is expected to make his appointments Monday or Tuesday. He has the naming or 3% dep- uties. Politicians are manifesting much interest in WeinbDrenner’s appointments and there is anprehension that Mayor Wells may refuse to vermit retention ef any Butler men in the Marshal's office. Weinbrenner, who is a Republican, suc- ceeded James Scullin, a Democrat. Scullin had many Butler appointees and some of his ablest politicial lieutenants are now occupying fat berths. The Butler men insist that they elected Weinbrenner by carrying nearly all the downtown Butlar wards for him last -April and are now demanding that as Sheriff Clarke, who received the same support last fall, reciprocated by retaining nearly all the Butler deputies in the Sheriffs of- fice, Weinbrenmner should do likewise. The possibility of Mayor Wells declining to ap- prove their appointment, should they be retained, is also causing them anxiety. nearlv two months he has been in office nearl ytwo months he has made but two changes so far, and the Republican “bosses"’ are pressing him hard for every job in his office. Weinbrenner was put on the Republican city ticket by a combination of Repub- lican committeemen. who went to the sup- port of Talty at the last minute and were permitted to name four men on the ticket with him. Weinbrenner. Regan. O'Reilly and Aloe were chosen by this combination, which included Committeemen Besch, Day, Owen, Regan. Weinbrenner. Meyerson and Fiorsheim. The combination is now driving Weinbrennet hard for all the patronage in his office. “But the other committeemen are also demanding recognition in my office,’ said the new Marshal to one of the combination this morning. “But would you recognize the South St. Louls bunch that went into a combination with us to nominate you, and then tried to ‘throw’ you in the convention at the be- hest of Charles Kratz?"’ asked the per- sistent patronage-seeking committeemen. This phase of the situation develops the statement that Kratz is accused of having attempted to defeat Weinbrenner’s nomina- tion after the South Side ‘‘bosses,"’ who were behind Talty, had secured his nomi- nation. The eight wards behind Weinbren- ner defeated the scheme by namgey ree to have Talty’s nomination reconsider if Weinbrenner was beaten in the convention, S_ ae WERE ALL CONFIDENT THAT TOGO WOULD WIN Wedding Gift that is out of the ordinary, will give the keenest pleasure and is certain not to be duplicated, send a piece of Rookwood Pottery No two pieces are ever alike; each is an original painting on pottery—a real work of art that will always be prized.

Nearly all of Washburn's New York Comedians, at West End Heights, have more opportunity in “Dr. Béll’” than was their lot last week, and the result Sunday, when their second week of high-class com- edy was inaugurated, was a much smoother performance. Inasmuch as the players have become more famiifar with one another's stage methods, the work moved with celerity and ginger, much of which is required in “Dr. Bill," it being a story of misplaced visiting cards, mistaken iden- tity and a general misunderstanding all around. The title role was in the hands of Harry Burkhardt, the member from St. Louis, and was satisfactorily handled. Miss Lackaye was seen to as good ad- vantage, as Mrs. Horton, as in her last week's character. If Miss Lament had an almost thankless part in ‘the first piece, she made her little hit with yesterday's audiences. Mies Wayne prove someone's good judgment in casting her for Mrs. Dr. Bill.

There was a the- atrical performance at every one of the numerous gardens of this original summer garden city. The theatrical event of the day was the opening of the Delmar Theater at Delmar Garden. This largest of the seml-outdoor places of amusement of the city has a musical troupe this season, and it -gave the first of its musical comedies last night. The attendance was littk short of the #00 seats in this big egditorium, which was enlarged last season for the Delmar “‘Louisiana.”’ The company opened with “The Girl From Paris,”” an English musical piece, and the impression it made was very good. Few performers can withstand criticism Pin the face of the obstacles of gummer garden work. Bither the voice is unsuited to the exceptional demands made upon it by the semi-outdoors, or the performer's temperament is not suited to the loose attention which a summer audience gives to whatever occurs on the stage.

Conceding all reasonable margin of exaggeration on account of the fact that all the news of the fight has passed through Japanese official hands, there is no doubt that the Russian fleet has suffered a crushing defeat, so crushing that the question of supremacy on the sea in the East is finally determined. The Japanese assert that the Rus- sian fleet was practically annihilated—that is to say, nearly all of the fighting ships were sunk or captured. At this writ- ing there is no news of the Japanese losses, but there is a clear inference that a great balance of advantage rests with Japan. It should be said for Rojestvensky that the task of turning the scale of war by a successful attack upon the Japanese naval forces in their own waters, with a motley collection of warships, bufdened with supply and repair ships, was so dif- ficult as to be regarded as practically impossible. The chances were heavily against him. He and his men could only offer the last sacrifice of courage to the desperate cause of the Russian autocracy in the Orient. The Czar risked all on a last stroke and lost. 7 The event is of supreme historic interest and importance / because it is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of naval battles, because it is the deciding point of the war, and be- cause it determines the relative supr@macy of Japan and Rus- sia in Asia, and ends Russia’s scheme of domination in the East. There is compensation for the loss of life involved in the catastrophe in the practical certainty of peace which it brings. Russia is defeated on land and sea. Her naval forces are wholly destroyed and her land forces are utterly demoralized. It would be fatuous folly on the part of the Czar to attempt to continue the war. Another greater blessing may result: The defeat of Russia may mark the collapse of her wretched autocratic government and a reorganization of the Government upon lines which will give the oppressed Russian people an opportunity for free development. “Their families are very unhappy and their businesses are being ruined,” is written of the Philadelphia grafters. The way of the transgressor, even in Philadelphia, is hard. i A i PARIS GOWNS. The Paris gown has grown to be an international issue, and Princesses of royal blood are involved. The poor Duchess Cecilia, who is to wed the Crown Prince of Germany, has been trying on 50 gowns a day. All Berlin is on tiptoe in anticipation of the happy day. Suddenly it is discov- ered that her bridal outfit includes a creation of Paris make and the whole German capital rages with bitter gossip. Are there no dressmakers in Germany? Shall the Prussian, who entered Paris with his needle-gun, give way before-a French woman’s needlet In England it is no better, The Princess Margaret of Con- naught has purchased part of her trousseau in Paris. For the first time, the London papers are pointing out, a bride of the reigning house is to wear any but a British-made wedding dress. ‘Prinéeases are but human, women will say who know the fas- cination of the Paris gown. They might have had anything they wanted for their wedding day, but they could not help going to France. Most brides would have taken pride in their good fortune. At least they would have been morally conscious of having done “the proper thing.” And to think that because of their royal rank these two girls should be reproached for it. ~~ ~~ . The record-breaking building boom of 1905 has led to the prediction that there will be a lull in building next year. But wasn’t a World's Fair slump predicted for 19051 —— +oo— A FIRELESS STOVE. Edward Atkinson is outdone. A German woman has a stove in whiea everything but beefsteak can be cooked without fire. “Every housewife knows,” says Consular Clerk Murphy of , Germany, “that a pot of coffee car be kept hot for This fact was utilized as long ago as 1867 in what was called “the Norwegian automatic kitchen.” Mrs. Book, wife of the Director of the Frankfort Industrial Sehool, used it for the even nine-tenths; pots are not blackened; food is better cooked; no kitchen odors, and many other benefits. This beats anytling Edward Atkinson ever invented, and it has another point of supériority over the Boston philosopher's stoves. It works. It “makes good.” At least Consular Clerk Murphy says 680, and any statement issued from a Government department must be true. : The first definite news of the historic naval battle in the Korean Straits, with an intimation of the Japanese. victory, given to the St. Louis public was contained in an extra issued by the Post-Dispatch Sunday afternoon. The first definite news of the extent of the disaster which overwhelmed the Rus- sian fleet was given to the St. Louis public in a Post-Dispatch extra issued Monday morning. It contained a. dispatch from Tokio confirming the report of a complete Japanese victory and giving the names of 14 Russian ships which were destroyed or captured, practically annihilating the Russian naval fighting forces. This was a great news record and emphasized the fact that THE POST-DISPATCH IS FIRST IN EVERYTHING. aaeeee ee THE WIRELESS DOES WORK. There are always people prone to believe that their own age has seen the limit reached in various lines of scientific exploit- ation. Thus he who reads knew all about the “English” which the experts with a cue could impart to a billiard ball refuse to believe that a baseball could be thrown in a curve. Also every day sages who had seen the rise of the telegraph shook -know- ing and denying heads at the telephone—“a mere toy.” Men still alive remember sadly how they refused telephone stock almost as a gift. Today wireless telegraphy furnishes a center for much skepticism. It is declared even by presumably expert judgment to be in place of a plaything. Yet here comes the Campania into port with word of three days in midocean when she talked at will with either Eastern or Western shore of the Atlantic. And the news sheets with the tale of midsea gos- siping are wireless reports from coasting vessels far and near. The Campania incident makes a new record in wireless service. The coastwise reports are becoming fixtures. Old ocean, no longer pathless, is losing the very last of the silence and mystery with which for ages it has clothed its voy- ages. It is hard to believe, even on assurance from the wire- less business office, that such°*things are happening by way of a scientific joke. a,» » _—_— a Cholly Hardup is rejoiced to read that a money lender of Kansas City has been fined $100 and sentenced to 30 days in jail for charging usurious interest. = = * RAILROADS IN CHINA. ‘The organization of China depends. upon a complete system of } railways and telegraphs.

A RUSSIAN DEATHBED. A scathing arraignment of the rea! rulers of Russia—the priests of the Orthudox Church—is the leading article in the June World's Work. Mr. Perceval Gib>on, in his account of “The Church's Blight on Russia,” tells the following [frenlent to show the fatal grip of the besotted clergy vn the ignorant Russian peasantry: There is a dreadful tale which I have told before in another place. It was uiven me as authentic, to illustrate the cyundition of the priesthood of the Orthodox Church. Let it be a picture.

The shaggy longz-robed pope has come, and the gear is iaid ready; but ere he will get to his work and un- burden the poor soul he will have wn e«n- hanced price for it. The wife of the dying man comes from the side of the squalid bed and pleads with him. He leers and is obdurate. Then a son will compel him, and they fight about the room, while the «huk- ing patient stares from his pillow.

NEW YORK, May 29.—The Wor!d says: ‘Senator Elkins and other eminent states- men are endeavoring to change Mr. Roose- velt’s mind and persuade him not to call a special session of Congress to consider the question of rate legislation. “A special session is too much like a cal- cium light to suit the purpose of the con- gressmen who are opposed to the Presi- dent’s policy. In the hurry and bustle of a regular it is easy to smother any particular bill. Public attention is divided. Conflict- ing interests are at work. Pigeon holes are always convenient. Parliamentary muddles are possible in case of an emergency. The cholorform bottle is always at hand. “But a special session focuses public at- tention upon a peculiar measure. It is dif- ficult to dodge. Amendments are closely scrutinized. The ‘joker’ is not easily con- ceuled. ‘The statesmen who object to Mr. Roose- velt’s policy but who dare not fight it open- lv are manifestly ill at ease. They prefer to deal with the rate question by angle- worm processes.”’ In the news that Philadelphia is turning to look upon Durham “with something ap- proaching admiration” is cause for wonder whether the city’s great moral outburst will have a lasting effect.

In the love and affection of the people the collision has already occurred! What other country can show a competi- tion of greatness and talent so bewilder- ing to the electorate? “Upon the serene brow of Shaw heaven has set the visible symbols of cloud-top- ping intellectual eminence. From the great eyes of Fairbanks, there radiates the splendor of a matchless mind. When Shaw speaks the nations attends as the ripe fruits of his thought fall multitudinously into the extended baskets of its unmder- standing. Let Fairbanks open his mouth and the people scramble for the best places in order that they may miss no word that fall from the lips of practically the great- est thinker of the age. “Then, too, the luster of their states- manship is matched by the genial glow of their temperaments and dispositions. They are wholesouled men, big hearted, radiant, engaging and approachable.

HAVE some papers here,” friend Sherlock Holmes, as we one winter's night on either side of the fire, “which I really think, Watson, that it would be worth your while to glance over. These are the documents In the extraordinary case of the Gloria Scott, and this is the: message which struck Justice of the Peace Trevor dead with hor- ror when he read it.’’ He had picked from a drawer a little tarnished cylinder, and, undoing the tape, he handed me a short note scrawled upon a half sheet of slate-gray paper. “The supply of game for London is go0- ing steadily up,’ it ran. ‘‘Headkeeper Hudson, we believe, has been now told to receive all orders for fly paper and for preservation of your hen-pheasant’s life.” As I glanced up from reading this enig- said my sat &, - matical message, I saw Holmes chuckling at the expression upon my face. “You look a little bewildered,” said he. “I cannot see how such a message as this could inspire horror. It scems to me to be rather grotesque than otherwise.” “Very Hkely. Yet the fact remains that the reader, who was a fine, robust old man, “was knocked clean down by it as if it had been by the butt en® of a pistol.” “You arouse my curiosity,” said I. “But why did you say just now that there were very particular reasons why I should study thiz case?’ “Because it was the first in which I was ever engaged.”’ I had often endeayored to elicit from my companion what had first turned his mind in the direction of criminal research, but had never caught him before in a eom- municative humor.

At first it was only a minute’s chat, but soon his visits lengthened, and before the end of the term we were close friends. He was a hearty, full-blooded fellow, full of spirits and energy, the very opposite to me in most respects, but we had some subjects in common, and it was a bond of union when I found that he was as friendless as I. Finally, he invited me down to his father’s place at Donnithorpe, in Norfolk, and I accepted his hospitality for a month of the long vacation. “Old Trevor was evidently @® man some wealth and consideration, a J. P., and a landed proprietor. Donnithorpe is a little hamlet just to the north of Langmore, in the country of the - Broads. Fhe house was an. old-fashioned, wide-spread, oak- beamed brick building, with a fine lime- lined avenue leading up to it. There was excellent wild duck shooting in the fens, remarkably good fishing, a small but select library, taken over, as I understood, from a former occupant, and a tolerable cook, could not put in a pleasant month there. “Trevor senior was a widower, and my so that he would be a fastidious man who friend his only son. “There had been a daughter, I heard, but she had died of diphtheria while on a Visit to Birmingham. The father interested me extremely. He was a man of little cul- ture, but with &@ considerable amount of rude strength, both physically and men- tally. He knew hardly any books, but he had traveled far, had seen much of the world, and had remembered all that he had learned, In person he was a thick-set, burly man with a shock’ of grizzled hair, a brown, weather-beaten face, and blue eyes, which were keen to the verge of fierceness. Yet he had a reputation for kindness and charity on the country side, and was noted for the leniency of his sen- tences from the bench. “One evening, shortly after my arrival, we were sitting over a glass of port after dinner, when young Trevor began to talk about those habits of observation and in- ference which I had already formed into a system, although I had not yet appre- ciated the part which they were to play in mv life. The old man evidently thought that his son was exaggerating in his de- scription of one or two trivia] feats which I had performed. “Come, now, Mr. Holmes,’ said he, laughing good-humoredly, ‘I’m an excel- lent subject, if you°can deduce anything from me.’ ‘“‘"I fear there is not very much,’ I an- swered; ‘I might-suggest that you have gone about in fear of some personal attack within the last twelvemonth.’ “The laugh faded from his lips and he stared at me in great surprise, “ ‘Well, that’s true enough,’ said he. ‘You of broke up that poaching gang they swore I've always been on my guard since then, though I have no idea héw you know it.’ have a very handsome stick,’ I |a man é who has seen something of the woria’ “And that recommendation, with the ex- aggerated estimate of my ability with which he prefaced it, was, if you will be- lieve me.

To remove grease stains from carpet one of the simplest methods is to pound to- gether equal weights of lump magnesia and fuller’s earth and then to mix them into a paste with a little boiling water. Spread this. paste, while still hot, upon the grease marks and leave it till quite dry. Then brush it off and you will find the carpet free of grease, for it has been absorbed by the paste.

Old piano men say that a piano should be left open occasionally to prevent the keys from turn- ing yellow. Fine tablecloths should be frequently changed so that they do not become much soiled, thus preventing the necessity of rubbing them to remove soil and stains. This rule holds good with all fine linens. Milk will rarely prove indigestible if it is sipped slowly. When swallowed hastily it forms a solid mass in the stomach, thus causing indigestion. .

Shoe Salesmen’s Long Hours, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. You have been so kind in assisting others through the columns of your val- uable paper that we feel sure that you will help the Retail Shoe Salesmen. e do not understand bbe # we should be expected to work until 10 o'clock p. m. on Saturdays throughout the year, when other stores close at 5 o’clock and even earlier. We do not mind workin until 7 o'clock, but after working all day we think that it is too much to ask us to work nearly half of the night, especially tltrough the warm weather, and we be- lieve that with your aid all of the retail shoe stores can be persuaded to close at 7 o’clock on Saturdays. What we ask is. justice to ourselves and we believe that the proprietors will also be benefited. SHOE SALESMAN. German and American Trade. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

I desire to say that your editorial headed, “As to the Sunday Law,” in your issue of Friday evening, May 26, 1906, fully expresses a sensible position with reference to the matter of closing the saloons in St. Louis on Sunday. No one desires to take issue with the Gov- ernor on the proposition of enforcing all the laws. I am persuaded, however, that there are thousands of good people in this city. and not all of them Ger- mans, who believe in an honest adminis- tration of municipal affairs, who are op- posed to grafting and bribery and who voted for and elected Folk governor and Wells mayor, who do not see any ele- ments of crime in offering for sale on Sunday, beer or any other beverage that a sane and sober man desires to pur- chase and I am apprehensive lest these citizens become suspicious of reformers and refuse to support a “clean tration ticket,” when it is again of to their su ge. eae There is a distinction yorernes vice and crime.

MAY STOP STREET CARS AND TELEPHONES NEXT Ice Cream, Soft Drinks and To- bacco Tabooed—Theater Goers Regaled Themselves at Hydrant Around the Corner. Admiral! *Togo’s achievement Sunday in annihilating Rojestvensky’s fleet does not compare with that of Sheriff O. P. Hines of St. Charles County, who, on the same day, suspemded nearly everything but the breathing of citizens in his jurisdiction un- der his strict enforcement of the Sunday closing law. The city and County of St. Charlegr Mo., had the tightest ‘“‘li@’’ In all the Union. Thirsty souls could not even buy “soft’’ drinks in a drug store, and users of to- barco who had neglected to lay in a sup- ply Saturday ‘were compelled to go without the solace of nicotine until Monday. No ice was allowed to be delivered and even ice cream for Sunday’s dinner was placed on Sheriff Hines’ index expurgatorius. No meat or provisions could be smuggled into the beleaguered St. Charles garrison. In the absence of other supplies for the mortal bodies of the population of S8t. Charles, people could buy medicines at the drug stores, but medicines only, and the erstwhile cheerful fizzing of soda water fountains was stilled as effectually as if the fountains had been infernal machines intended to blow up the temples of law. Milk, however, was allowed to be deliv- ered Sunday morning, Sheriff Hines being a friend of the babies, and, as a conse quence, St. Charles infants were about the only souls in St. Charles that did not have to forego their accustomed liquid refresh- ment. Save for the cheerful rattle of the milk wagons, however, the streets of St. Charles were a desolation of loneliness. With the exception of churches, ‘drug stores and restaurants, the Postoffice was about the only place in St. Charlies where the “open door’ policy prevailed Sunday, and the Postoffice was kept open for one hour only. To make abstention of St. Charles people complete, Sheriff Hines prohibited the sale of Sunday newspapers, but the ingenuity of the local newsdealer tem- pered this poignant deprivation. The postoffice being open from 10 to ll a. m.,’ the St. Charles newsdealer wrapped and addressed Sunday newspapers to ‘their steady customers and-mailed them in time for delivery during that hour, thus Tellev- ing somewhat the strain of a truly dread- ful situation. No Lid on Hydrant. Because the Supreme Court has de- cided that theatrical entertainments and baseball do not come under the ban of the Sunday-closing law, Sheriff Hines permitted the St. Charles Opera House. and the ball yark to open Sunday. Between the acts at the former, many kiln-dry patrons of the drama went out to a hydrant around the corner and wet their parched throats, but this was the best they could do. Sheriff Hines cogitated. over the advisa- bility of closing the telephone exchange, but refrained from doing so because he could not fully make up his mind whether or not telephoning was a Sunday neces- sity. lie also permitted the ‘tAll Saints’’ street car line—the St. Louls and.St. Charles— to run, but says that next Sunday he may decide to stop the cars in the middle of the St. Charles bridge, where- his wer begins, and that the telephone exchange may also have to close. There was one alleged violation of the Sunday-closing law within Sheriff Hines domain. It is charged that E. C. Nehls, a liveryman of St. Charles, kept his place open and served his customers who wanted to take a Sunday drive or horseback ride. His case wll be. reported fo the 8t. Charles grand jury, and Sheriff , Hines says that, no matter whether the jury con- victs or not, he will continue to.make ar- rests for violations of ‘the law. M.e sheriff of St. Charles County de- clares that he is not striving to bring the Sunday closing law into disrepute. Last Wednesday he received a notification from Gov. Folk, he says, requesting him to en- force the law, and he is merely complying with that request. He was apprehensive, he says, that if he left any of its provisions unenforced he would be held responsible and, therefore, he insisted upon absdlute obedience to the law in its every detail. He informed all interests comcerned, he says, Saturday, that he proposed to en- force the law, and it was seen that he meant business. oe $18.85, Atlanta and Return.

Most of them were workingmen and nearly all were of foreign tongue. They were laughing and ges- ticulating, and the suspicion was strong that these men after their week of toil, were not being denied, on their day of rest, the beer from which they were wont to gain comfort during the week. At frequent intervals some of the crowd would leave and disappear in an area way on the south side of Wash street and others would come out of this area way. . Two strangers observed the actions of the crowd for some time. Presently a tall, Slender man, with a blond and curling mustache, and wearing a white apron, ap- peared. He thlked with the crowd, and ever and anon one or more of the crowd would depart and disappear in the area way. ‘As the man with the apron drew away one of the strangers approached him. The white aproned man paused and lis- ‘ened. ‘Tg there not some place here where one can get a bottle of beer?’ the stranger inquired. The white aproned individual looked rather hard at the strangers and mur- mured that he did not know. But the manner in which he hesitated and appeared to invite furfher conversation prompted the strangers to become more earnest in their quest. White Apron nodded his head and said: “Go upstairs and you can get it. “Rut how do we get upstairs? The door here is locked,” indicating the door that bore the legend “‘entrance to saloon.”’ Drinking Beer From Bottles. “Follow me,’’ replied White Agron. and he disappeared in an area way, the second door west of the saloon entrance. The strangers followed. They walked south in the area way for perhaps 25 feet. Then they turned east and walked to a flight of stairs that led to a room over the room ad- joining the saloon on the south. In this room were, perhaps, a dozen men. Many of them were drinking beer from bottles. “Can we get a bottle of beer?’’ one of the strangers jnquired. The men’who were drinking made no re- sponse, and looked toward a man who fol- lowed the strangers into the room. This man wore a pink carnation in his button- hole. “IT am sorry, gentlemen,” he said, ‘but I cannot accommodate you. You are not my boarders, you see. If you had been boarding with mé for two years then I would give you the beer. But this was all bought yesterday, and I cannot sell any.”’ One of the crowd held a bottle in his hand, the cap of which had just been re- moved. ‘Here's a bottle,’”’ he said. have mine.”’ An offer to pay for the beer was deolined. And again the man with the carnation apologized for his inability to serve further refreshment. The strangers started away, and had proceeded not far west on Wash street when a noise attracted them, and looking back, the man with tHe white apron was seen beckoning vigorously. The strangers retraced their steps. The white apron dis- appeared in the areaway. The strangers followed the apron. Inside the rambling yard it was no place to be seen. But the man with the carnation was standing on the first Step leading to the room where the single bottle had been given. “What has become of our friend?” asked one_of the strangers. P “Oh, are you a friend of his?. Well, that is all right.-He is upstairs. and he will help you out. Just sit down there,’’ and the man with the carnation pointed to a cor- ner in the yard shielded from vies, ‘and with a temporary canopy covering the ta- ble. The table was just back of a lunch room at the rear of the s@loon. ‘ In a moment the white-aproned Individ- ual walked down stairs with several bot- tles In his arm. “He bought these yesterday,” explained the man wearing the carnation, “and he can fix you up. “T Give You the Beer,” “I give you the beer.’ said the white- aproned man. “You drink with me,” join- ing the strangers at the table. One of. the strangers produced a coin — handed it to the man who served em. “I give you the beer,”’ he sali, “and you ve me this. But “the beer is only 15 cents, Be po cen, a i en t that he cou eep the change he evinced his appreciation by into the lunch room and prod more bottles. ‘‘Here,"’ -he ante. “I give you these. They you.” The strangers talked on and Inqui expect to and the white-aproned man said that they would taken care of. “ | The strangers were .
