i CAMPBELL’S TIPS FOR PLUNGERS.
AMES CAMPBELL, though genial when at so-
J cial gatherings, is a sphinx when in his
brokerage office. Few persons have ever
‘wheedled him into giving them a tip.
A young woman whose father. is a close friend
of the silent broker entered Mr. Campbell's office
the other day. Warmed by the little wizard’s
kindly smile she took a ehair and started a 14-
feet-through-the-valley flood of. conversation like
this: Ss e
f “I have some money that I would like to in-
' Vest and I have come to ask you, Mr. Campbell,
‘what would you do? In stock, for instance;
would you buy them or sell them?”

Look into the future, if you have the courage,
and you will see an opera war ahead which will
make our late vaudeville war look like a corner
store pinocble game.
It will start at the Garrick tomorrow night, and
the Italian Grand Opera Company will have a
week to prepare for the *ontest with the San
Carlo people, who will start up on Grand avenue
next week. Both Mr. Tate and Mr. Walker know
lots of reasons why they will fare hetter than the
Milan and Sheehan companies did.
OTHERS TO FALL BACK ON.
And however they fare, or however soon they
shake the spaghetti of St. Louis from their forks,
there are Conried and Hammerstein, who will
hear before long how musical we have grown,
‘and if things get a bit dull on Broadway, who
knows but we may get a chance to spend $5 each
in contracting Tetrazzinitis?
To which can be added, with as much certain-
ty as attends such far-off events, that the Milan
company is coming back in April. |

you can hear Alfred G. Rebyn’s Amphion Club

ad
as well learn it now as to come trailing along
after it is on every boarding house piano. Also
the Amphs will sing “Du Bist (pronounced beast)

FABIUS IN. THE SADDLE.
The evil habit of delay is bad enough when it
springs only from negligence. When it has its
root in design it is intolerable.
Recently the Post-Dispatch has shown the ef-
fects of this policy in various directions. The
free. bridge is held up. Paving contracts are held
up. The insane asylum is held up. The public
library is held up. Everywhere there are in-
terests powerful enough to accomplish in secret
and by indication what they cannot hope to gain
in the open. :
Another example of this is to be found in the
case of the public utilities law passed at the re-
cent session of the Legislature. Under that act
municipalities are empowered to regulate and fix
the charges of public service corporations. There
appeared to’be a profound public interest in the
measure, but no steps have yet been taken under
it. | :
Similar laws adopted in other states at about
the same time are now visibly in effect. Power-
ful commissions established under them are at
work and already the people are in the enjoy-
ment of many reforms which they have’ insti-
tuted. In St. Louis even the-perfunctory appoint-
ment of a commission to investigate and report
to the Municipal. Assembly has not yet been had.
The Fabian policy in war was long ago adopted
also in the law. We have it here fully fledged in
government. When Fabius did not venture to
give battle he retreated and feinted and &y such
methods exhausted the enemy. When a litigant
has nothing’ else to hope for he fights for delay.
When selfish interests are defeated in the open
they contrive - by hidden methods and by pro-
crastinatidn to defer action -gainst them.
It is absolutely essential to the proper use of
the power conferred upon the municipality by
the late legislature that there should be an
inquiry as to the facts. The assembly must be
informed. It must know in detail all about con-
ditions not only in St. Louis, but in other cities
as well. It cannot hope to exercise authority
either wisely or successfully without knowledge.
Yet various bills providing for so simple an act
as the appointment of a commission to ascertain
fucts and make recommendations have been rest-
ing in committee room pigeon holes at the City
Hall ever since last August. Nothing is doing
and there are no signs that anything will be do-
ing for a long time to come. If a valuable pri-
vate right or privilege were involved there would
be a different story to tell. Public rights and in-
terests being concerned, dust and mildew gather
upon the papers inthe case.
As has been remarked in this place on other
occasions, these things are not, the result of ac-
cident. There are people who profit by no-gov-
ernment. There are people having the strongest
possible reasons for favoring delay. Delay some-
times leads to forgetfulness aad neglect. There
are people who were not able to defeat the utili-
ties measure in the Legislature who may think
they can smother it to death in the Municipal
Assembly. Time often works marvels in the case
‘of menaced wrongs, for new objects of attack
may present themse!ves and thus the public mind
may be diverted.
The people of St. Louis have everything to gain
and nothing to lose by strangling Fabius before
Fabius strangles them. .
QUACKS IN THE UNIVERSITIES.
If the trustees’ of our universities could be
suddenly endowed with common sense and if as a
result of that blessing they were forthwith to
seize every callow communistic “professor” at-
tached to their faculties and pitch him into the
street there would be a good many vacancies,
byt the cause of education would not suffer if
they continued ‘forever.
-The University of Missouri now harbors 4
genius.who announces as a new.and benignant
discovery communistic ideas which are several
centuries older than the Christian era and which
rave never been put into force on any scale,
large or small, without complete and humiliating

most things in common. All were to pursue only
the good, the true and the beautiful. Above

was only one practical person in the member-

DEALING WITH MURDEROUS MANIA.
Lord Erskine little recked what the conse- |
e¢ slayer of a royal George he stuck a successful
definition of insanity into the law and opened the
way to generations of imitators. are
While they have not approached the use of it
made by the supreme master of Anglo-Saxon ad-
vocates, they have been shrewd enough to follow
without change a definition so perfect in plausi-
bility; and it is Erskine’s plea nearly verbatim
that remains imbedded in the law, both statute
and judicial, of English-speaking countries.
The arch-advocate himself who saved the man
that shot at a King in a box at the end ite
have saved, indeed, the slayers of Presidents;
and his wording of the excuse repeated by iess
able tongues has made*deep mischief with the
law that protects human life.
It is to Erskine largely that weak. men and
men in rage owe their license and consequent
encouragement to avenge their own redl and
fancied wrongs. And to the influence of his so-
called “humanitarian” theory—which being hard
and fast must of necessity fail of discrimination
—will partly be charged the weakness of the law
which is offered as the excuse of lawlessness, of
mobs and lynchers; of the unwritten law.
A toning up of the law’s strength cannot be had
without making some drastic corollaries to the
Erskine principle. So. long as proved insanity
may not only save a homicide from death but
open the way to possible eventual freedom the
law lacks forbidding restraint.
When life incarceration is offered as the certain
alternative, when a homicide proved insane’ by
his own lawyers and accounted insané by a jury
of his peers is thereby fixed in the status of a.
dangerous maniac and given immediately and
irrevocably into the State’s keeping for the pro-
tection: of society, a considerable advancé in
government will be recorded without violation
of. any humanitarian principle. Justice will be
strengthened and juries will be freer to dispense
it. Homicides for many reasons would be -re-
duced in number.
In a word, when a man is excused as insane

by a jury his fate for all time should be fixed

the exact truth to save their lives we may ap-
preciate the .vame of mind in which the psalm-
ist found himself when he remarked: ‘I said in
my haste that all 'men are liars.”
ipso facto, requiring nothing further. ‘Escaping
the gallows, the subject should be legally dead.
If there is seeming harshness in presenting the
alternative of. an incurable status and life in-
carceration to the homicide whc disclaims re-
sponsibility, assuredly it is more than balanced
by the consideration of general welfare.
Justice will not recede from Erskine’s plea, but
many jurists will confess that its effects and in-
fluen¢e have been more harmful than beneficial.
The necessity for a check upon its baleful results
and a balance for its operation must commend
itself to thoughtful lawyers and commissions en-
gaged in recommending revision of laws.

TRAGEDIES OF THE RAIL.
Most of the thousands of fatalities and injuries
resulting from the operation of American. rail-
The’ record for
years has been vo appalling as to attract world-
wide discussion
Many safety appliances are in use, but their
adoption has not been either general or com-
plete. There are Federal laws on the subject
which have been ‘enforced very feebly or wholly
ignored.
While all of these devices cost, money, it. is
probable that every railroad in the land might
have been fully equipped with them if one-
tenth of the money raised on watered railroad
securities by exploiters of the Harriman type had
been used for that purpose.
__- Many railroads are poor, either as a result of
overcapitalization,, mismanagement or déficient
traffic, but not one of them need be without
these things if its managers were persuaded
either by humanity or fear of the law that it
was desirable thus to safeguard life and limb.
Considerably more than ¢ miilion of the best
men in America ate employed in railway trans-
portation. It is a shameful fact that each year
the casualties among them equal those of a
great battle. Gettysburg, Chattanooga, Chicka-
mauga, Chancellorsville and the Wilderness repre-
sent fearful voluntary sacrifices for ‘moral and
patriotic ideas. The tragedies or the rail stand
for nothing but indifference and greed.
Two Federal courts in Chicago have recently
convicted various railway compantes of violating
the laws on this subject. Nothing less than a
general movement by such tribunals from coast
to coast will meet the demands of the situation.

DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY OF TRUTH.
Gov. Hughes may never have held a responsible
newspaper position, but in &n address to the
Editorial Association of his State the other day
he showed that he was well informed as to one
of the greatest perplexities of journalism.
“The most difficult thing,” he Said, “is to see
a thing and then tell what you see. For that
reason the newspaper mar has the tcughest of
all jobs. Telling the truth is a most difficult
operation one it is seldom performed with com-
plete success.’
Speaking generally, the trouble is that no two
men ever see anything just alike. Granting that
they are equally honest and equally free from a
possible motiye to indulge in misrepresentation,
we have to take into account differences in ca-
pacity as well as in temperament.
One man will see much more than another.
He has the perceptive faculty well developed.
One man has imagination while another man has
none. The imaginative man will not deliberately
falsify, but there will be embellishments in his
narrative which some people will pronounce
baseless. A highly emQtional and romantic per-
son will witness an episode and describe it in a
fashion that will appear to be fictitious, while a
stolid man will see only the obvious and miss the
most interesting phases of the occurrence.

THE RIFT IN THE LUTE, |
The clarinettist of the Millstadt (Ill.) band,
being sued for breach, of promise, excuses his
failure t@#marry the fair plaintiff on the ground
that “I had to choose between her and music,
which I have decided to make my profession,
though I have been until now only a farmer.”
And he winds up with the withering charge:
“She was lacking in musical temperament.”
Since this is manifestly the most cruel and
biighting accusation which a musician can make,
and since the case becomes in effect the trial
of the voung lady on that charge, it behooves
just-minded persons before convicting her to
inquire upon what ground the charge is based.
In answer to this inquiry we discover the sole
fect that she remonstrated against the noise he
was in the habit of making twice a week at.
rehearsals in the town hall upstairs over the
grocery store.
We gather that this lusty-lunged husbandman,
fresh from the fields with his artistic enthusiasms.
made himself heard above cornet and tuba, trom-
bone, bassoon and eke bass drum, else she could
not have singled him out to particularize her
remonstrance, nor would he have resented it as
a personality. We take it that this is the crux
cf the case and we conceive hat a clarinet with
a pair of deep ‘bucolic bellows behind it might
emit some fairly terrific blasts, especially when
manipulated by horny fingers inured to hay hook
and husking peg.
That these apoplectic and ear-splitting. blasts
would inevitably develop a rift somewhere is
certain. Something must give way under the
compression and it is not surprising to find/a
crack in the lute of love itself. But we are
trable to find that a remonstrance against sheer
volume and piercing ‘strength of tone implies a
want of critical taste, of appreciation, or artistic
temperament, or signifies an empty soullessness
like unto an aching and perhaps echoing vold.
The. fault, we think, lies rather with the de-
fendant, who should have stvck to the less mili-
tant jewsharp or learned to fiddle “Turkey in the
Siraw.”
In no event will the- charge of a want of
artistic temperament in the young lady be sus-
tained in bar of her suit for the breach. On
the contrary, judgment is found for the fair
plaintiff in the full amount of damages asked,
together with double or punitive damages and
costs.

PROTECTING WITNESSES IN COURT. |
To the credit of a judge presiding in a Chicago
trial for murder it is to be said that he interfered
the other day in behalf of a young woman witness |
who was grossly bullied and insulted by law-;
yers. ,
It may be that the learned gentlemen of the bar
can present plausible reasons why witnesses
should be subjected to verbal assaults worse than
those which are inflicted upon prisoners at the
bar, but if so thcy have never taken the trouble
to do so. The only inference jis that they. pre-
sime upon the protection of the court and in-
culge in language and methods which anywhere
else would subject them to chastisement.
Under such cireumstances a judge who will not
restrain a blackgnard is no better than the black-
guard himself.

THE SOGDA-POPS.
The old-time Pops are dead and gone,
We'll never see them more—
The fellows with the wide hats on,
And whiskers down before;
The prairie grass grows where they lie,
And the spry grasshopper hops——
And in their stead we have today
The lusty Soda-Pops.
The old-time Pops have had their sway,
And they are laid to rest—
The bearded patriarchs'and gray
That flourished in the West;
They made a lot of public men
Do somersaults and flops—
But they never were a power like
The modern Soda-Pops.
The old-time Pops could muster votes
And make a great fanfare—
The rustics with the hay and oats
_ Protruding from their hair;
They learned the game of politics
Between the summer crops—
But they never did raise thunder like
The later Soda-Pops.
The old-time Pops had bully lungs,
And whooped it up with zest—
The fellows with the Brigham Youngs
The passing winds caressed;
They chased a lot of enemies
Into the tall tree-tops—
But they never did get going like
The present Soda-Pops.

KING SADLY MISSES
AMERIGAN DUGHESS
Absence Due to Mother’s Death
forced a Cancellation of
Concert.
1.—The Dowager Duchess of Man-
chester’s absence in America, due to her mother’s
death, forced a cancellation of a dinner to be fol-
lowed by a concert with American singers, Which
had been arranged for the King Thursday.
The Duchess manages all entertainments for the
King when he is at Biarritz, and no one else 80
thoroughly understands the business, Her absence
is a serious blow to him in view of his pas os
visit to that resort.
Messages Of condolence were sent the Duchess by
the King, Queen and all members of the royal fam-
ily, while the accumulation of telegrams and letters
of sympathy sent to her housé in Grosvenor Square
is enormous. 3
Mrs. Yzanga, the Duchess’
of the American social invasion, and the older
London remember well her beauty, wit and
charm.
SOLVING T HE MYSTERY OF
EDWIN DROOD IN A PLAY
LONDON, Feb. 1.—The production of Comyn Carr's
play, “Edwin Drood,”’ at His Majesty's Théater, was,
of great interest throughout England, because the
play had been presented the solution of the un-
finished Dickens novel.
The fault found by critics in their reviews of the
play, in which Mr. Beerbohm Tree has the leading
role, Was that the mystery was dispelled in the sec-
ond act by permitting the audience to see Jasper in
the opium den when he imagines he ts murdering
Mr. Drood.
From that point on the play becomes a mere pre-
sentation of the Dickens character with the story
left out. Jasper, in the continuation of the play, is
hardly able to hold almost the entire interest. whieh
he is expected to do.
OLD EGYPT AS POLITE
AS IS SOCIETY TODAY
LONDON, Feb. 1. The latest papyri found in Egypt
prove that Egyptian civilization attained a great
height in earliest times. An invitation to dinner that
has just been discovered is framed almost in the
identical phrases used \in politest society today:
“Heramon invites you to dine at the table of Lord
Serapis, tomorrow, the 15th of the month. at. 9
o’clock."’
An invitation to a bridal dinner runs:
“Herais invites you to dine with her at. the mar-
riage of her children at her house tomorroy, the
Sth, at 9 o'clock.” R
One contains an ode eulogizing the frugal life and
condemning overfeeding, which it says is due to the
extravagance and excitement of the times.

Dr.
PARIS, Feb. 1.—If legislators would heed the ad-
vice of Dr. Jaques Bertillon, they would pass a law
which would forbid the marriages between men and
women of great difference in age. He bclieves that
the marriage between a man of €0 and a woman of
less than 30 ig.detrimental not only to those direct-
ly involved, but also to the country as a whole. Dr.
Bertillon says that men of © seldom beget children
and in some cases, if not in the most, where they do
become fathers, it is worse for the community.
France, says Dr. Bertillon, needs sensible love
matches which shall result in good, heaithy, happy
children. The country, according to Nim, and he
quotes statistics, is depopulating fast and this makes
it more necessary that the children which are born
shall be healthy ones. Says Dr. Bertillon:
“Whenever I read an announcement which tells me
that ‘M, N., aged 60, is going to marry Mlle. X..,
aged 25,’ I become sad. I pity the girt, for I know
she will either never be a mother, or if she will be
one she will have ‘unhealthy children. I pity France
because money has become a factor in matrimony.
Young women sell themselves, for this is what such
a@ marriage: means, to old, decrepit bachelors who
were too wicked or too selfish to marry when they
were young. Something should be done to prevent
such dangerous and disgusting practices. Between
five and ten years’ difference in ages of marriage
candidates is enough. Anything above it means for
divorcee, race Suicide and adultery,”

CARRY TOY DOGS
POCKET IN SLEEVE
LONDON, Feb. 1.—The kimono sleeve, which was
threatened with extinction, has come ‘ack into fem-
inine favor in a new guise. Its ample proportions are
now fitted with a pocket to hold the wearer's toy
dow.
“These dogs’ pockets are, of course, only suitable
for one of the miniature Yorkshire or black-an-tan
terriers a West Enfé dressmaker says, “and as
these fragile little creatures are hardly any weight
they do not inconvenience their owners.
“This new kKimona_ sleeve was first created in
America, but several society women in this country
have adopted it for their walking, driving or motor-
ing coats.
“It is certainly a humane fashion, as far as the
dog .is concerned, for these toy creatures are very
susceptible to cold. The sleeve pockets are made
in velvet and fur coats, and are lined with flanne!
or a thin layer of wadding.
“Toy dog pockets in ‘granny’ muffs are also to
be geen, the fluffy head of the terrier peeping out
presenting a very comical spectacle."

LONDON, Feb. 1}—Princess Hatzfeldt proved her-
self to be a fairy godmother indeed to the then
Countess Arthur Fabbricotti, who has just married
Baron Charles Aliotto, counselor to the Italian Em.
bassy in Paris. The Princess (who was’ Miss Clara
Huntington of New York), had set up the Countess
in business in her hat shop here, given her a stock of
expensive millinery and tdéok wealthy customers to
her.
‘But somehow or other the hat shop did not flour-
ish. The “Countess, a rarely beautiful woman of
[rish-French birth, who has visited America and is
well known in New York society, found she wags not
fitted for trade, So the beneficent Princess made
the match with Baron Aliotti and provided the tn us-
seau and the wedding breakfast. As if that was not
enough, the Princess,. having put the Countess in
business, is helping her to leave it in the most hon-
orable fashion. The Princess paid all the creditors
as well as the rents due for the shop and the Count-
ess’ little flat, and now, finally, is selling the business
itself.

TOO MANY LIKE AUTOS,
SAYS FATHER VAUGHAN
LONDON, Feb. 1.—Father Bernard Vaughan is @
past master in the art of presenting unpalatable
truths in a coating of picturesque metaphor. His,
latest is: “We are living in an age when too many
people want to be like a moter car, and to run
through life at top speed—a: thing which cannot be
done without a breakdown or a collision, or both,”’
Once when he had been preaching in Rome for
Pope Leo, and as usual, had been dealing out Plain
truths for everybody with his accustomed force, a
Cardinal remarked that be preached like an Ltalian.
“Yes,” said the Pope, ‘‘but he is an Italian. He
was born on Vesuvius; and we only sent him to
England to cool!”
When Father Vaughan is not denouncing society
for its sins at bis fashionable church on Farm street,
he is working hard among the poorest of the poor in
the slums of the East End. Down by the docks he
spends the winter in an- humble lodging, preaching
cleanliness, manliness and sobriety ‘n streets which
even the police will only visit in pairs.

Gramophone Records Placed
Vacuum Containers to Iilus-

PARIS, Feb. 1.--Twenty-four pramophone records
by famous living musical artists were solemnly e¢n-
tombed in the crypt of the Paris Opera House.
The records were Very carefully packed in a cop-
per casket, from -which the alr was exhausted. The
casket was soldered, and placed in another metal
box, from which the air was also pumped out. The
box was then -inclosed in a special receptacle in the
wall of the crypt with an insoription requesting
that it remain intact for 100 years.
A parchment scroll giving a list of the records and
full instructions for their use when the box is at
length opened was deposited in the archives of the
Opera.
A modern gramophone was placed in another her-
metically sealed box, also containing full instrue-
tions for the benefit of the men who are expected
to use it in the year 2007.
The entombed records include operatic arias sung.
by Tamaguo, Caruso, Plancon, Mme. Patti, Mme,
Melba, and Mme. Calve, violin solos by Kubelik, and
choruses by singers of the Scala Theater at Milan.
M. Malherbe, the conservator of the museum of
the Opera, explained that the idea governing the
proceedings was to put on record for future genera-
tions one of the aspects of the music of the twen-
tieth century, what was sung and how the best sing-
ers sang it.
It was also intended to show the progress in the
art of registering sound by these examples of the
highest perfection yet attained to be compared per-
haps a hundred years hence with the records of
that day.
STAGE CRIME STUDY IS
DEDICATED TO THE LORD
ROME, Feb. 1.—Gabriele D’Annunzio, the erratic
Italian poet and dramatist, has just completed a new
play which he dedicated to “The Lord of the Uni-
verse.’’ The dedication is formulated in a veritable
church bymn which ends with “Amen.”
The play is called “La Nave’’ (The Ship). It deals
with the criminal classes of Venice in olden days.
Some of the worst crimes that ever happened in the
world are described. Scores of girls are to be shot
on the stage if the play is presented. Wild beasts
are supposed to be brought on the ctage and human
beings, nude, or almost so, are to be thrown to these
beasts.
Whether the play will have the same reception
which was given to his last dramatic compositions is
not certain. The last play he wrote was so badly re-
ceived on its first night that it was never presented
again.
One dramatic critic says of “La Nave’:
“Perhaps Sig. D’Annunzio dedicated it to the Lord
in order to gain favor for the play. Whatever his
intentions might be, it is best to ‘write » good play
with no dedication than a bad play with a dedication
of such importance.”
i1AS LIGHTS? NEVER!
VENETIANS WANT MOON
MILAN, Feb. 1—All the artists in Venice, besides
the best-known aud most influential people in society,
are up in arms for the defense of Venice’s moonlight.
It must be explained that this esthetic campaign is
the result of a decision by the Venetial municipality
to light.the Grand Canal, St. Marks Basin, and other
canals by incandescent gas burners.
It is not denied that the present system of lighting
is scanty and inefficient, yet the artists ang their
supporters are vigorously condemning the suggested
improvement. Incandescent gaslight, they say, gives
a blending of crude light which would utterly destroy
the beautiful colors for which Venice by moonlight
enjoys world-wide fame,
Already a petition hag been forwarded to the mu-
nicipal authorities asking them to rescind their order.
Among the signatories are artists, poets and writers,
including several English perean who have settled.

Increasing interest is manifest in the
subject of charity since the north winds
h: e howled and the flakes of snow have
evidenced stern winter in his character
of relentless fury.
While the cold penetrates every nook
and crevice, and even presumes to in-
trude to‘the innermost protected locali-
tles, society utilizes many devices te
outwit this grim interloper of cold and
with thoughtfulness born of the spirit
of cultivated charity, renewed efforts
are being made to neutralize the suf-
fering which the cold brings to the poor.
For many years St. Louis has not
faced the present néed of work for the
unfortunate poor ag the number of
entertainments for the benefit of charity
has increased accordingly.
_ A practical movement most worthy of
the season is prevailing among the vast
number of members of society. Mothers
of children have joined the army of re-
lief by searching warm clothing out of
their attics and distributing to the shiv-
ering, hovering unfortunates who would
otherwise suffer intensely with scanty
garments scarcely protecting their thin
little bodies from the cold.
“As my children romp in the comfort-
able warmth of' their nursery, protected
by. warm, soft garments, I think of the
other children of mothers who love them
as I do mine, but who cannot supply
the warm nursery and warm clothing.
This thought prompted me to go to my
attic of half-worn and outgrown gar-
ments and to distribute them where they
lwould serve the good purpose of com-
fort for the needy.” This was the philo-
sophical reasoning of a society woman,
the mother of children, whose interest
in society only inereases her desire to
extend beneficence..
Saturday evening, for the benefit of
charity, “‘The. Union Station” furnished
amusement for an appreciative audience
of society people at the Odeon. The
Baptist Orphans’ Home was the bene-
ficiary.

Candless, Caroline Fowler, Elizabeth

Frauenthal was in charge of the ticket
office at the Union Station; and_ Ben
Brown was train cailer. Colonel E. J.
Spencer had a platoon of soldiers por-
traying a migration from one post to

er Stewart, J. W: Fristoe, Nelson

Bailey and Clinton E. Udell took active
part in the management. Many actors
wore contumes to represent various na-
tions of the earth.
Hours of tiresome rehearsals have
engaged Misses Emma Drew, Minnie
Blair, Louise Nugent, Francis Jones,

Dr. D. M. Marks, senior minister df
the reformed ‘synagogues of London,
celebrated his ninety-seventh birthday
last month. In speaking of his career,
the London Jewish World says: “‘As far
back.as 1842 he and his. congregation
were condemned by the ecclesiastical au-
thoritles of that time, and they had to
fight a long and weary battle for recog-
inition. Prof. Marks is a scholar, a pow-
erful preacher and has wielded great in-
fluence in the Anglo-Jewish community.”’

NEW YORK AUTOS
Police Tow Away Machines
That Are Left Sanding
on Streets.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—There is a new
terror for those who own automobiles.
The Street Cleaning Department has
started a pound for them, and if an
owner leaves his car outside unattended
while he goes in to ..- a man about a
dog it may be necessary to go down the
next morning and redeem the machine.
The idea is that automobiles ought
not: to be left unattended in the street,
because they get in the way, for one
thing, and becauSe they hurt the pave-
ments with the drip of gasoline. Inci-
dentally, there is a city ordinance which
such neglect violates.
The first raid was an awe-inspiring
The order of march was a

buggy and a truck.
.| District superintendent Denice, who led
the raid. In the truck were the chauf-
feur, a policeman, some Street Cleaning
Department foremen and one small boy,
who hung on behind.
Two Have Warning.
The first halt was in Broadway, about
Fiftieth street. but it was a false alarm,
because the owner of a derelict car,
that was seen there had not had a spe-
cial warning, and,.the department was
merciful in opening. the campaign. The
party swept along after this, and fin-
ally turned up Seventh avenue from
Long Acre square. At Forty-ninth
street there was a wild -cil fypm a
smai] boy scout, and a car whose own-
er, the Automobile Schools of America,
had had warning. wes spied.
So the bugle blew to halt the detach-
ment, and the truck backed down to the
front of the car. The.ch. -ffeur made
fast to the truck and leaped to the
steering wheel. Just then the man who
owned the car appeared and seemed to
be slightly annoyed. He wanted a re-
ceipt for the car and he wanted to
know @ lot of things, but he’ got lit-
tle consolation.
May Cost Him $20.
Then the horn was tooted, the bu~vy
led off, and the truck began to tow
the: car to the encumbrance yard, in
West Fifty-sixth street, with a large
crowd in attendance. The owner will
be able te line up with the East Side
pedlers whose carts were confiscated
and explain just why he ought to take
$5 off: the cost of redemption of the car.
He will do 1... if he gets it out for
less than $20.
The raids are going to keep on, and!
the automobile district éxpects to have
a lot of fun. So does the Stveet Clean-
ing Department, ‘which has found the
practice of keeping cars infront of
stores and garages ail day a severe
obstruction to its work.

who were, with taribaidi, the only in-
habitants of the island of Caprera. On,
that solitary rock the husband an wife
lived a life full of romaftic detail, The
couple spent 40 years in Caprera.
They had « rustic cottage close to the
seashore, but lived almost entirely in a
small boat. They procured food for
themselves by hunting and fishing. The
cottage was on the eastern side of the
island. When Mr. Collins went to the
neighboring island of La Magdalena to
make a few purchases or collect any let-
ters, which at that time arrived every
15-days, his wife remained on board the
hoat with her face hidden by a thick
vell, thus causing many people to be-
lieve in the legend which grew up that
her beauty had been marred by scars
produced by burning. Eveh Garibaldi,
although he often saw the husband, had
never been able to get a glimpse of the
face of the wife. So great was the af-
fection of the latter ror her ,.husband
that when he died she constructed with
her own hands a tomb.
After her husband’s death, however,
the woman changed her mode of living,
and everybody could see her face, which
was still remarkably beautiful. She had,
too, a spendid figure, and with the grace
of her person she united a varied and
brilliant culture. As a widow she fell
in love w'th Garibaldi.
‘TI have seen,” said Achille Fazzari,
“tye numerous letters which<«she wrote
to the hero. They date from 1860, and
continue for a few years following. But
of the love of Mrs. Collins for Garibaldi
not much more is known.’
Sig. Fazzari thus vaguely hinted at
another romance in the life of Garibaldi
during his stay on the island of Ca-
prera, but he resolutely declined to give
any ot shir details, saying: ‘“‘Let us
leave this story-in its mystery. * * * I}
do not know why I have raised 4 corner
of the veil.”
MORE TROUBLE FOR MAN WHO
CALLED WRONG FARM HOME
Missouri Homesteader Perisistent in
Getting Things Backward
for 12 ‘Years.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Feb. 1.—Bealy
Hicks, the Camden County man who
lived four years on the wrong home-
stead and did not know it, has at last
been heard from, but still his troubles
have not ended. He learned that he
was on a homestead 12 miles south of
the one he had entered and walked
nearly all the way to Springfield to file
an amended entry.
After applying at the cal land office
and securing the necessary blanks he
left, saying Me would have his papers
prepared by an attorney and file them
immediately. That was the last heard
of Bealy for some time. A letter was
received from him, in which he in-
closed his papers, he having first sent
them, through ignorance, to the General
Land Office at Washington.
The papers will have to be sent back
to Hicks, however, for in his affidavit
he swore before a notary public, an]
such an affidavit is not recognized by
the land office. It must be sworn to be-
fore a Federal Commissioner, Clerk of
the County or Circuit Court, or the
land office officials.
Sisters Die of Grief.
WASHINGTON, Pa., Feb. 1.—Mrs.
Matilda Coventry Searight, aged 8&2, and
Miss Mary Jane Coventry, aged 80, have
died, presumably of grief. A few ‘weeks
ago their brother, John Stewart Co-
ventry, aged 76, with whom they’ had
lived for many years, died, and the el-
derly sisters never recovered from the
ghock.

Large numbers who have already pur-
chased have -said as much in so many

_ “If You Do You Will Lose
His. Friendship,” He
. Declares.
TAKE HIS NOTE INSTEAD
Young Millionaire Tells His
Class to Be Cautious
in Charity.
“Never loan money to a friend; if
you do you lose his friendship. If
you know you will get it back and
have to loan it, take his note and
charge him interest.""—John D.
Rockefeller Jr..
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—John D. Rocke.
feNer Jr. gave the members of his Bible
class what he considered good advice on
- money matters. It was the young mil-
Wonaire’s first appearance before the
Class for some months. He looked
better health than usual.
“I understand you have been discuss-
ing the subject qf riches for some
weeks,” he began, “and I feel that I
should add my opinion. It is our duty
® be as helpful to our fellow-men as is
possible, but it is also our duty to ex-
ercise discretion and common sense in
the iigthods we follow. A thoughtless
man may do more harm in giving away
money than he has any idea of, and
then the beneficial effect is lost. It is
not always money that the needy want.
It is another er of help and .sym-
pathy.
“It Is the litem of many people to |
follow the words of the Scripture liter-
ally, and I want to-emphasize the fact
that you cannot do that. It is not in-
tended that you should take the teach-
ings of Christ in a literal sense. For
instance, in Matthew you will find the
‘words: ‘Gice to him who asks.’ It
Would be next to impossible to give to
every ‘one who asks you. Then, again,
‘you find the story of the rich young
ruler, whoin Christ told to se]l all that
he had, and give to the poor.”
Can’t Take Scripture Literally.
“A gentleman who addressed vou a
Short time ago, informed you that for
every sale there must 'be a buyer. If
every rich man sold all he had, where
wuld be the buyers?
i "f do not see how it would be possible
_. t@ take Christ's words in a literal sense
and apply them to our everyday lives.
The yconditions were different in Pales-
tine. and Christ never intended that
hig teachings should be literally inter-
preted in all the ages to come. He
meant the spirit—not the words.
“The poor then were different. from
the poor of today. By the poor he re-
ferred to the poor in spirit, not. those
in actual need of food and lodging. To
give to everyone that asks would mean
to create an army of beggars—people
whose self-respect would be crushed and
who would prefer to ask for what they
wanted rather than to work for it. Heip
your fellow-man all you can—help him
' to help himself, and he will bless you
wr it.
“There is another matter I want to
talk to you about, and that fs the loan-
ing of money. We all know that occa-
sions arisé—a crisis in a man’s life
_ when it becomes necessary for him to
- borrow. The working man loses his po-

IS THREATENED
SPLIT
Revisionists Wilt Not Follow
the Doctrines of
Ledebour.
a,
BERLIN, Feb. L—The continued ill
health of Herr Bebel, the Socialist lead-
er, points to his retirement from active
political life at no late day. He has
postponed ‘indefinitely his
journey to America and has changed
his apartment to the ground floor of
his hotel in order to avoid walking up-
scairs.
Bebel informs the New York World
and Post-Iispatch correspondent that
although he thinks it desirable to avoid
all travel and work which will lay an
additional sirain on him, he is still in
average health. Of course, he is not
the man he was. Age and the incessant
work cf 40 years have impaired his
once iron frame. It is almost certain
thet hé will never again make a great
speech to rank with his orations of the
past.
Counsel Still Valuable.
His wonderful memory fs still unim-
paired, and his counsel is as valuable
as «ver to his party. At hfs own sug-
gestion the Poard of Managers of‘ the
Social Democratic party held a confer-
ence to diecuss his successor in the lead-
ership of the party In the event of iil
phealth cvmpelling his retirement. On
the dest authority it can be said that
Dr. Iedebour was decided upon.
He is one of the Socialist members
of the Reichstag from Berlin and is con-
sidered u fanatic. He is trained in all
of Bebel’s v.ews and is the rabid enemy
of’ the Revisionists, as represented by
Bernstein.
On his accession to power, when it
cones, it is certain that there will be a
split in the hitherto united party. The
Extremists will remain under Ledebour,
but the Revisionists will acknowledge no
other ‘cader than Bernstein.

COLUMBUS, Ind., Feb. 1.—The Ladies’
Aid Society of the Central Christian
Churéh of this city has adopted a novel
method of raising money for the church.
Each woman was requested, at a re-
cent meeting, to._bring a yard of muslin.
When the strips of goods were brought
the women were instructed to mark
off spaces on the strips and sew across
the marks, thus making pockets in the
strips. It was found that # pockets
could thus be made.
The women then took their: strips
home, and fit is now their duty to obtain
a plece ef money to place in each pocke:
of the strip. A penny will do, but a $l)
gold piece would be just as accept-
able. By the measurement of the strips
the women-declare that 40 pennies make
a yard, instead of 36 _inches, as -s
usually the case. The money will be
placed in the pockets as rapidly as it
can be earned, and later all the strips
will be brought to the church and the
money counted.

WOMAN WAITS
YEARS FOR LOVER
ee
v
FORT DODGE, To., Feb. 1.—Robert
Cochran, a pioneer citizen of Fort Dodge
and a builder and contractor, who helped
build Tobin College, has forsaken his
home of almost a lifetime and gone to
New Bathlehem, Pa., where he was mar-
ried at the age of 75, to his sweetheart
of 50 years ago, Lizzie Ritchey, who has
remained single through all these years,
faithful to her first love, is the bride.
Because she dislikes to leave her life-
time home, Mr. Cochran will live there.
The bridegroom has been prominent
in business here and lays claim to pio-
neer citizenship in Fort Dodge. His
age is now indicated by snowy hair and
beard, but his heart is still young, al-
though he left his boyhood home long
ago and two years ago lost the com-
panion of his best years, a woman whom
he married in Illinois. After her death
he was called to his boyhood home by
th. death of a relative, and met again,
loved the second time, proposed to and
was accepted by Miss Ritchey.

SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 1—A special
to the Dispatch: from Seattle says:
The largest herd of caribou ever seen
in the wilds of Alaska is gow crossing
the Yukon River, working its way south-

Arctic region. Prof. Joseph B. Terry},
geologist, and several men connected
with the United States survey in Alas-
ka, have just sent reports to the coast
of the enigration of the animals.
The herd has been moving for 100 days
now and there seems to be no end to
the string as far as the eye can see. It
is estimated that over 100,000 caribou
have crossed the stream and wended
their way into the fastnesses of the
mountains of the lower Yukon. térri-

AGUAS CALIENTES, Mexico, Feb. 1.
_—~The many millions of dollars of wealth
of Danie! Guggenheim of Philadelphia,
who is’at the head of the Smelter Trust,
are not standing in the way of his son,
Harry Guggenheim, in learning full de-
‘talis of the practical side of the smelting
business. Young Guggenheim is work-
ing with a gang of peon Mexicans shov-

1% . Wages as the Mexicans—one peso a day,
4, which is equivalent to 50 cents in tle
© money of the United S.ates.
It ig stated that the young man took
this position with his father’s consent
and that he is to work his way up
through the several departments of the
smelter until he has acquired a practica:
knowledge of the various departments.
After finishing with the manual and
mechanical sides of the business he
will enter the office and learn how the
books and records are kept. Before he
is finished he will have learned how to
sample and test ore and will be capable
of /buying as well as treating the dif-
ferent kinds of ore which come to the
sinelter.

to be able to succeed his father at the

latter to retire.

Notwithstanding the great wealth of
his father, young Guggenheim is shown
no favors by the total officials and em-
' ployes of the smelter here in the matter
of employment. He is 19 years old and
is strong and healthy. When he came
or. down here in a private car and applied

position he is said to have been told

United States, and prospects for a good
supply of natural ice for St. Louisans
next. summer are anything but prom-
ising.
In St. Louis the average temperature
has been high as compared with the
s temperatures of the months of Novem-
ber, December and January of other re-
cent years, and equally warm weather
has prevailed elsewhere in places where
the St. Louis supply of ice is ordinarily
cut. So there is so far no prospect of
any fall in the price of the city’s ice
next summer.

Beautiful Tributes to Dead
Friend.
‘£
The St. Louis# Mirror of last week
contained the following admirable trib-
ute to the late Frank R. O'Neil, vice-
president and assistant manager of the
Post-Dispatch, from the pen oF William
Marion Reedy:
“No more beautiful spirit than Frank
O’Neil’s ever lent its divinity to dust.
There was—there is a man, for though
he died last Monday morning, he is still
and must ever be, to those who Knew
him, not only a bright memory, but a
fruitful inspirdtion to goodness and a
sustenance in trial. How clean-minded
he was! How full of the qualities of
self-giving in the exercise of which he
ever enriched himself the more.
and his humor, the unpretentiousness of
his mental and moral bigness, the kind-
‘liness that’ softened even the sternness
of his principles, when that sternness
seemed like to vent itself upon the
wrong-doer rather than on the wrong.
Aside from his vast capacity for the
sane enjoyment of life, he had but one
passion, and that was that he should
never work injustice.
“He was a great reporter. He could
not only get news, but he could write it
as lucidly as Thucydides. His style was
the man—simple, sincere, buoyant, alive
to life in all. its phases, and he knew
.no subject matter comparable . with
truth.
“Touch him on any point of. conduct,
and he rang clear and true. Idealist
often to his own hurt, yet was he gifted
with a common senge that penetrated and
dissipated all sophistry and delusion.
The last thing in the world he thought
of was money. In business—and he was
& superb business man—he was, as
someone has said, always afraid he’d
get the better of the other man in a
deal.
“Frankness marked all his dealings.
Me might soften his expression of
opinion of you, but you always got: his
real opinion. Trust him always, every-
where, to damn treacherous flatteries
without winking. Journalism he con-
ceived as a high office, something pon-
tifical yet pastoral, an exalted priest-
hood of public .service. There was for
him no compromise with right, yet he
loved men, all men, even though he,
might fight their purposes with all the
strength of his character.
“Companionable he was’ supremely,
and glorious in argument, what time we
talked up the dawn. His laughter, rich
and ringing, none might resist, and his
humor saved his intellectual and moral
rigor from all suspicion of priggishness.
For the frills and fritinancies of life he
had a- fine, a copious, yet withal, an
amused scorn, and pretension shriveled
before his burning honesty.
‘‘In writing he used the simplest
words in their most natural sequence,
and his lucidity was the utterance of
clear thinking and seeing. He kept ever
his youthful verve, and there was a
freshness of sympathy in him that: was
essential democracy.
“As editor of the Republic, he
fought the franchise schemes of the
Republic's friends till they stood
aghast at his indep@wdence. As gen-
eral manager of the Pést-Dispatch, he
was the friend of, but never syco-
phant to organized labor. In politics
no friendship of interest could seduce
him from support of the right.
“The man had a positive splendor
of character, nor did he pride himself
upon it in the least. Least self-con-
scious, he was always for helping the
world along. To the young man he
Was a mentor grave and kind. Before
all men he stood four-square to all
the winds that blow. To the false
andthe corrupt he was a terror not
to be turned aside. This community
owes him more than it can ever know.
“Tro those of us who loved him,
even as we admired him, he sweetens
fortifies faith and enlivens
hope in the promise that what is good
shall not wholly die.’’

The merits of Hyomei (the treatment

So pronounced is the relief and cure
following the use of this treatment
that it has been publicly recommended

The fact that Hyomei is so simple

breathing medicated air and not taking

helped to create this widespread and

FRANK R. O’NEIL.
Obiit, Jan, 27, 1908.
I,
When from blanchea lips the shocking truth they learned,
A master-soul, men knew, had passed away—
Its eye upon the sun of Truth upturned ;
’ A soul so high that with the truth it burried ;
‘A soul so just, so generous, so wise,
Men’s failings with unpharasaic eyes
It viewed, and o’er their faiilts in pity yearned.
A man 80 unobtrusive, yet so bold;
So gentle, yet of such surpassing might;
A Moses, yet a Paladin of old,
When Honor called or Wrong assailed the Right—
His equal when shall we again behold,
The weak to cheer, the evil to affright ?
II.
Strong men stood by this strong man on his bier—
Yea, strong in death, for truth doth never die—
And gazed upon his brow serene and high,
And hesitated not to shed the tear
Of admiration; and there came no fear
That future years will not applaud his name
And shield the fame of him who sought not fame,
Contented with the duties of his sphere,
And lesser men, far distant from his grave,
mercy, his forgiving mind,
And who had felt the hand stretched forth to save,
To guide the erring and to lead the blind,
A sighful tribute to his manhood gave,
For he had learned the art of being kind.

World’s Most ‘Expert Workmen

Cullinan Under Guard,
LONDON, Feb. 1.—Plans are now be-
ing completed for the cutting of the im-
mense Cullinan diamond, recently pre-
sented to King Edward by the Trans-
vaal as a birthday gift.
It is now kept in‘a large safe at
Scotland Yard headquarters, guarded
by relays of detectives’. It is the plan
to get one magnificent gem of 800 car-

than the Koh-i-noor.
The Cullinan diamond at present re-
sembles ‘nothing so much as an irregu-
lar lump of gum arabic, the size of two
fists. It appears to the unskilled eye
to be about as valuable as a piece of
soda.
Only the most skilled craftsmen will
be permitted to handle the gem, for a
single false touch might cost a fortune.
The Koh-i-noor was once cut by an un-
practiced hand, and half its weight was
lost.
All the time the Cullinan diamoned is
being cut it will be closely guarded by
detectives, and the stone will be
weighed at every process.
As ‘“‘diamond cut diamond” is the only
rule, smaller stones will be affixed to
boxwood sticks and rubbed against the
gem until a flat surface is. obtained.
When this stage is reached, the Cul-
linan will ‘be soldered to a metal bar,
leaving only- a fragment exposed. It
will then be held to a dise revolvihg

will be cut and. polished, and

EPILEPSY
Cured or It Costs You Nothing
A staff of noted physicians in one of
the largest sanitariums in the world
have at last discovered a sure and last-
ing cure for Epilepsy, or Fits, a disease
which has always been regarded as be-
ing incurable. “Neu-Ro-Sedatus Com-
pound” is for sale in this city by John-
son Bros. Drug Co., Raboteau & Co.,
and Wolff-Wilson Drug Co., and in ev-
ery case where it has been tried it has
demonstrated its wonderful power to
strengthen the nerves, feed the nerve
centers with new force and strength,
and conquer Epilepsy. These reliable
druggists have so much faith in “Neu-
Ro-Sedatus Compound,” both from
what they have heard of the cures it
has made in other cities and the re-
markable results following its use in
St. Louis, that they guarantee a com-
ey, and. lasting cure, or they will re-
und the money.- You run absolutely
no risk in taking “Neu-Ro-Sedatus

is one of the inducements offered to ci-
tizens of Glasgow, Scotland, according
to Mayo Fesler, secretary of the Civic
League. “Public wash houses abound
in European cities,’* said Mr. Fesler in
a lecture on the functions of municipal
sovernment, before the School of Phil-
anthropy. “Glasgow has seven of. these
thoroughly equipped so that a woman
may take her washing there, do the
work by machinery in a few hours at
a cost of ten cents a weék.’’
In the matter of municipal ownership
Mr. Fesler declared the American cities
are following the lead of Europe rapid-
ly. Germany, he said, has 40 municipal
theaters where prices are placed within
the reach of the majority of the people,
Prussia alone has 800 munic ipal savings
banks with deposits running well up
into the millions.
“It_is only a question of time until

government,” asserted the speaker, ‘‘and

predict, will inside a decade be the

Oklahoma Mayor and Counrteilmen

BLACKWELL, Ok., Feb. 1.—Fn its
work of retrenchment made necessary
by the adoption of prohibition and ‘the
closing of the saloons, thereby cutting
down the revenue, the City Council is
using the pruning knife freely wherever
opportunity occurs. The council has
adopted an ordinance fixing the salaries
of city officers, to take effect April 1,
1908. It provides that the Meyor, Alder-
men, Treasurer and City Physician slial!
serve without regular salary: City At-
torney and Polic® Judge for fees only;
Chief of Police, salary cut from $50 to
$‘@ No provision was made for the
Street Commissioner and that office will
perhaps be abolished and the work as-
signed to the Chief of Police on fees.
The City Clerk will have the water
business to look after, which will make
his pay in the neighborhood of $40 or $50
a month, and he will earn it! Wymer
suggested that a saving might be made
if the city printing were let to the low-
est responsible bidd@r, but no action was
taken.

has been quick to take advantage of
this labor sentiment and the talk of
Yemocratic cengressmen indicates that
they will make a special appeal to
the union: labor. vote -in the natienal
election,
Secretary of War Taft. in particular,
will, it is believed, be injured by the
anti-labor decisions, . because his own
record in labor cases while he was on
the Federal bench has worked against
him among union sympatbizers.
Democrats Take Advantage.
Consequently’ the Democrats are tak-
ing pains to crystal‘ize a sentiment that
the Republican party as revealed in its
judges and.in irs leading presidential
candidate ig against union labor.
Senator’ Beveridge of Indiana has
started the Republican program to con-
ciliate labor by introducing a bill to
limit the use of the injunction by the
courts in labor disputes. His bill pro-
vides: that in disputes between em-
ployers and employes no injunction or
restraining order shall be issued until
both sides have been heard,
His measures stipulate that such hear-
ing shall be held within three days
after the injunction is asked unless both
sides agree to a conéinuance
A messdge from theJ President will
follow Senator Beveridge's bill, urging
the enactment of a new employers’ lia-
bility act avoiding the features which
caused the Supreme Court to. declare
unconstitutional the act now on the
statute books.
Erdmann Law in Message.
bn this same message it is expected
the President will discuss the Supreme
Court’s action Monday in declaring the
Erdmann law uneonstitutional. The
President was strong in his support of
the Erdmann bill. when it was before
Congress, and afterward, when a suit
was brought contesting the provision
prohibiting interstate corporations from
discriminating against union labor, he
instructed the Attorney-General to pre-
pare an argument defending this pro-
vision’s constitutionality.
The Supreme Court held that corpor-
ations cannot be -restrained from dis-
charging emploves “because they are
members of labor unions or from dis-
criminating against them for thé same
reason. The decision was sweeping and
the President, it is said, has as yet been
ppc to find a way of setting around
[In addition to the Erdmann case, Mr.
Gompers, in pointing out the decisions
adverse to his cause, has mentioned
the decision of the- Supreme Court of }
the District of Columbia forbidding the
American Federation of Labor to pub-
lish the name of the Buck Stove and
Range Co. of St. Louis in its unfair
list;.a New York decision holding the
bankers’ 10-hour law constitutional. and
the Federal inwimction issued in West
Virginia restraining officers of a\labor
unfon from trying to induce the. em-
ployes of a coal company from joining
the union.
MADE TO BREAK
PROMISE, YOUTH
FORSAKES HOME
Charles Brady, East Side High
School Junior, Missing
Three Months,
Rather than face his comrades of the
East St. Louis High School football
team after breaking his word, Charles
Brady, aged 17, a member of the junior
class, left his home, 826 Baugh avenue,
three months ago.
No tidings have since been received
by his sorrowing parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Phil Brady. All inquiry concerning him
has until now been made quietly by
them, their constant hope being that he
would return.
Now his mother, unable longer to bear
her grief, is willing that any means pos-
sible to bring back her boy be used.
Young Brady had a fondness for ath-
letics and was sent by. his schoolto the
High School field day contest at Cham-
paign last year. He did not-win a prize
for jumping, but he made a good record.
His father was -opposed to his playing
football, but early last season he won
his mother’s consent to play in practice
games, on condition that he ask her
permission for each game.
Conflict With Music.
rie is pianist of ability and was on
the school program last October. One of
the members of the regular football
team became ill. A game out of town
was scheduled, and the members of the
team went to Principal Manners and
asked that Char!:: be excused from the
program, that he might practice for the
game. Prof. Manners granted the re-
quest, and Charles promised his com-
rades he would play. ,
But his mother, thinking his music
deserved more attention than his foot-
ball, refused her consent, and he was
placec. in the light of breaking his prom-
ise. Once MWe.said to her: “You wouldn't
think of breaking your word, once you
had given it, mamma.” But she did not
realize his meaning until he was gone.
He drew all his money, $50, from the
bank the last day before the three
months’ notice rule was‘ placed. in ef-
fect. His ticket to the High School lec-
ture course, the money for a ticket he
had sold and an unsold ticket were
found in a packet on the sofa. He did
his rnother’s errands before leaving and
did not seem in an angry humor.
He is large for his age, being six feet
tall. His hair is brown and his heavy
eyebrows almost. meet above his gray
eyes: His hands and feet are large.

EVERY DETAIL PERFECT
Track Is Six-Inch Gauge and
There Are> T unnel
and Grades.
LONDON, Feb. 1.—Spending $50,-
006 on his hobby, Percy H. Leigh of
Worsely has one of the unique toys
of’the world—a miniature railroad
@eemplete even to the signs “Keep ort
| The Track.”
. The “country” through er the
; wailway runs is a huge, single-storied
‘pullding of one room, 90 feet long and
30 feet wide. It has been added to
Mr. Leigh's residence, and was
specially constructed sO a8 to give the
line sufficient range’ for successful
operation, and also to afford protec-
tion from damp and bad weather. |
The system is known as the “Oak-
green & Beechvale Railroad.” The
-Toadbed is of pitch pine, mounted on
65 trestles some three feet from the
floor, and the track extends to 276
feet of a double line of rails.
There are 1200 feet of rails in all,
and they were spectfally rolled for
Mr. Leigh in Shefield. They are fast-
_tened down to 2000 pitch pine sleepers
by means of 4000 malleable cast iron
chairs—rails are not spiked down in
England—held in place with hard-
_ Wood wedges and 16,000 screws. All
the fishplates, bolts, and nuts used in
jo ing the rails together are exact
| ure reproductions of those seen
the London & Northwestern Rail-
r ‘which is the standard system of
United Kingdom.
Gauge Is Stx Inches.
The track is ballasted’ with about
half a ton of limestone chips, and the
ix: be ‘gauge is six inches. The stations, and
eed the whole system, are beauti-
: . fully lighted with electric lamps fit-
Bi ted with reflectors.
t In all there are
fifty-eight of these soft, restful lights
and a vpecially tall one is established
Ms the freight station In order to car-
Ty on work. These lamps are sup-
plied from storage batteries placed
under the track, and their capacity is
- + enough to light up the whole room
_ without bringing the gas into requis!i-
tion. Electric lamps also light the
signal cabins and posts
along the
line.
In one signal box are no less than
‘twenty-six levers, from which stretch
flexible wires to the signal posts. Of
_ these last there are a round dozen,

HIVES A TOWN
Inscription Says Canine Was “Done
to Death by Vivisectors’” by
Slow Process.
LONDON, Feb. 1—A monument erect-
ed to “a brown dog” and “232 other
dogs done to death in vivisection,” has
divided the city of Battersea into. fac-
tions. The Council is struggling with
the question whether to remove an in-
scription which one faction charges {s
“offensive,”’ or vote a fund of $2800 to
protect the canine burial ground from
Tineensed students.
Those supporting the monument in-
scription are members of the National
Anti-Vivisection Society, while the col-
‘liege students and the British Research
Association Insist that the wording casts
reflection upon them and “enlighten-
ment.” The inscription reads as fol-
lows:
“In Memory of the Brown Terrier
Dog, Done to Death in the Labora-
tories of the University College in
February, 1908, After Having En-
dured Vivisection More Than Two
Months, and Having Been Handed
Over From One Vivisector to An-
other Until Death Came to His Re-
lease.
“Also in Memory of 232 Dogs Vivi-
sected in the Same Place During the
year of 1902.”’
Mass meetings are being held by both
factions and memorials: by the yards
are being sent to the Council.

DES MOINES, Io., Feb. 1.—The un-

“be forced to suffer the ignominy of be-

of the discussion which followed the

NEW YORK, lI"eb. 1.—Employes of the
Fifth Avenue Bank were disturbed by a
report that a rule had been. put into ef-
fect prohibiting them from entering any
restaurant in which intoxicants are sold
with meals. The younger
led to believe that after-theater suppers
might be held only in dairy lunchrooms
or. similar places. Investigation, how-
ever, developed the fact that the only
truth in the report is that there is.to be
a stringent enforcement of the bank’s
rule against the use of intoxicants in
public places by its employes, °

Again, on July 5, when told that the

Then Sir Arthur’ investigated and
found that the reason the key would
not turn wWhs that the lock had already
been opened before the messenger tried
it and that the jewels were gone.
The commission expresses a full confi-
dnce in the probity of the janitor and
cites as a singular fact that this was
the first time that Sir Arthur had ever
intrusted him witb the key to the safe.
Viears has been dismissed from his
post by the King’s command, and Capt.
Neville Wilkinson has been appointed in
his place.
Meantime the authorities say they are
without a clew to the robber. or. the
possessor of these jewels. This would
be a convenient attitude to adopt if the
object was to smother a scandal or to
avert revelations of orgies conducted in
Vicars’ office at night after he had left
—orgies the character of which the po-
lice have been able to determine by
certain articles found concealed in its
recesses. :
Scandal Starts Investigation.
The ringleader in these abominations,
a castle official, is said to»have chal-
lenged the Government to touch him at
peril of involving the names of noted
aristocrats, one closely allied to the
King himself, being dragged to light.
This explains why, when the Irish Gov-
ernment began to investigate the rab-
bery of the jewels and came upon this
underlying scandal, they suddenly left
the whole affair drop, and but for Vi-
cars’ refusal to quietly accept dismiss-
al, nothing more would have been
heard of it.
The opposition is yearning to use the
Government's inaction in the matter
for political purposes, but
mentary whips got a tip straight from
the court that whoever shall be re-
sponsible for stirring up the scandal
will earn the King’s strong disapprov-
al. The probabilities are that these
influences will prevail unless some un-
foreseen disclosure forces a {ill in-
quiry. ;
Vicars has issued an appeal to all
Irishmen to support his demand for a

Miss Nellie Ingham now believes that)
she is one of the heiresses to an En-

commenced by Judge A. Van Wagenen.
During the corn palace days of 1885
a poorly clad Englishman carrying 4%
scantily clothed little girk in his arms
went into a grocery store and asked
if anyone there could recommend a
Rome for his little daugiter.
He gave his name as John Ingham
Jr. and that of the girl as Nellie. The

and she lived there until about 18 years

swells away till it is wholly lost in
Possession Bay, with Plumper. Anchor-
age in-case of necessity. ‘‘Or,’”’ says the
Captain, ‘“‘you can step ever and let go
in Spitful Anchorage, on “Terra del’
side.’.’’
The steamship is meanwhile making
good use of the broad reaches and
surges ahead at full speed. The sky is
still fairly clear, and: events are mov-
ing smoothly, when the land ahead on
both sides is seen to be closing in, until
there seems little chance of further
progfess. This is the First Narrows,
10 miles long, 2 miles wide, with a depth
of 40 fathoms, or 240 feet. All the tidal
movement of this end of the Magellan
Strait passes through~-these Narrows,
and they are deep and fearfully swift.
Fierce Cross Currents.
“Leok at the rips,’’ cries the skipper.
“There is a fierce cross current here,
and we have to stand by to see that we
are not set over on the Great Orange
Bank. Just abreast of it the current is
four knots.” Then thé vessel swings
into the funnel.
“What-is the speed
here?’ asks the passenger. “Eight
knots, and the rise and fall is 40 feet
in the springs,’’ answers the Captain;
without taking his eyes from the ship’s
head.
The Second Wattews are 12 miles long
and from four to six miles wide, and
the rise and fall Is only 23 feet even
in the springs. Then comes the New
Channel afterward, and Broad Sound,
on the road to Punta Arenas.
“‘That’s Sandy Point, the southern-
most city in the Western Hemisphere,"
says the skipper, following the travel-
‘er’s gaze to the gray blur. “Some ca!)

the stoutest seamen under cover. The
willilwaws, the awful gusts of wind

steamer till the -skipper peets over the

“At one time,” he.shouts. “the U. &_S.
Vandalia was three days get-

there because the intervals between. the
Willawaws were not sufficient for her
to get her anchors and gather steerage

And so on through English Reach the
voyager steams, clinging to the bridge
stanchions, for he does not want to miss
anything, ‘with all the air a dazzle of
snow and the drum of the engines un-
der him. Then comes Ca Crosstide,
at the western point of Carlos Island,
where the tides from the Pacific meet
those from the Atlantic.
Crooked Reach is the next arm af the
strait that must be navigated, long,
verse and narrow. Patagonian Ind ane
are often seen in the Reach, who will
barter the skins from around their
loins for alcohol. Then comes Port
Churruca, just beyond Cape Upright, on
Desolation Island, a place of giant gla-
ciers, enclosed by snow-capped moun-
tains, amid scenery as grand as may
be found in the entire strait.
World's Stoermiest Cape.
Just beyond is the open high rc-1
to the Pacific Ocean, which is here pre-
vented from casting its breakers over
into thé Magellan Strait by the nar-
rowest part of Desolafion Island; at the
apex of which stands Cape Pillar, pos-
sibly the stormiest place in the world,
not even excepting Cape Horn, the Cape
of Good Hope or Cape Leeuwin. North-
east of the terrible Pillar, but within
the strait, is a beetling mass of gran-
ite known as ’.Westminster Hall, and
25 miles northwest of Cape Pillar rise

“Sick and miserable, dog-tired and a

saying. “I suffered constantly with
those excruciating pains in my back

my stomach. I could hardly get about
and grew thin and pale. Many doctors
could not stop the pains that made my
life a burden. They didn’t know what
was the matter. .

RIVAL TOWNS WANT RAILROAD
COLEMAN, Tex., Feb. 1—The proj-
ected railrodd to run from Abilene to
Brady by the way of Ballinger or Cole-
man is arousing citizens here to a united
effort to induce the line to select the
Coleman route, the coal mine shipments
from here and Waldrip being offered as
one inducement.
It is expected that a bonus of $50,-
000 will be raised soon to secure the new
road, but the Ballinger people are also
making a strong fight and a lively tug
of war by towns on the opposing routes
will take place before one is named.
There are good inducements either
way and Ballinger says it will give the
new road a bonus. The two routes are
about the same Jength and are similar in
the lay of the land. .

CAND GRAND OP
a ‘Julia "Marlowe and the .Varying Appeal of |
_ “Gloria”—Three Promising Offerings of
Near Future — New York and
London Seasons— Merry
Opera War.
7. LOVIS playgoers who saw Miss Julia Marlowe ‘in her new
“Gloria,” at the Olympic this past week, seem to be divided into two op-
‘ pesing forces as to its merits.
Many have told me that they relished the play keenly,
‘light- -hearted and entertaining bit of work, not great, yet worthy.
| plain that it dragged, that there was too much talk in the lay! fx of its plot-
foundation, and that, but for Miss Marlowe's redeeming grace, they believe
.« Gloria” would be a distinct failure. The Olympic was crowded at every per-
Tgebmance of the play, but this, of course, was mainly due to the fact that it was
a new Marlowe offering.
As for myself, I liked “Gloria.” Iconcede that. there
“‘tailkiness’’ in its first act, but I contend that this cannot weil
‘the #ase of such a story as the play tells, and against this possible biemish I
place the fact that there are many bright lines in the play’s peginning, also
an effective eriphasizing of character. Captain Bambazone, Gloria herself, Sir
‘Philip Lilley, the Madonna Cassandra. the mincing poet-Count, truculent old
‘Mareo Ricci, Gloria’s uncle—all these folk were very clearly etched before the
first curtain fell.
And surely the play went with euisibad action after this opening act.
“all in ali, it seems to me that ‘Gloria’ ts quite a creditable ac mca along
worthy lines.
_ ¥, ECAUSE of these honest‘ differences of opinion
: B “Gloria,” I shall watch the futute fortunes of the play with peculiar
' interest. ;
It doesn’t surprise me in the least to. hear from
‘Charlies Wyndham has purchased the English rights of the play and that le
purposes to give it a Ldndon production early this month. It won't sur-
prise me if “Gloria’’ does very well, itdeed, in London. The English have
a liking for a touch of poetry and puré diction and something more than
a transient timeliness in their plays. They have even proved, indeed, that
they are capable of sincerely appreciating the ‘strength and beauty of ‘Mte
phen Phillips’ tragedies, and they were quick to feel whatever of poetic
charm there is in our own Petcy Mackaye's “Jeanne d@’Arc."’ It may be that
‘London will place its stamp of approval on this British-made play that had
its first production in ‘“‘the States.’’ :

Ew YORK is beginning to say, philosophically, that this ‘has been “a

tiative reception.
~ -“The Ranger,’ “Sapho and Phaon,” “The Christian Pilgrim,’ “The Evan-
‘gelist,”” “The Step-Sister,” “The Girls of Holland’’—these are recalled with the
fFeflection that they -did not deserve success, wherefore it is well that they did
not achieve it. There is no good reason, says New York, why disaster to these

the worst theatrical season in his recollection. Other London’ managers join
‘in the doleftil chorus, and it is said that $250 a night constitutes the average re-

on _ ‘The “premiere” of tliis house will be made a brilliant event in local stag

Amelia Bingham, Henrietta ~rosman, Virginia Harned and James K. Hackett,

Garrick last season, with Mme. Kalich

has the best opportunity since she was
seen in “The Resurrection,’ and the
supporting company is said to be ex-

Valley ‘‘atmosphere”’ and native charac-
ter types.
The play is now being: wréten by
Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon’ Wil-
son and its title will be ‘““Cameo Kirby.”
The title role, to be played by Mr.
Goodwin, is that of a Mississippi River
gambler of the old days when river
travel was at its height and reckless
Southern planters were wont to gtake
their all upon the turn of a card tn
Sames of chance played on the. pala¢
tial steamers plying between St. Louis
and New Orleans. This old river gum-
bler was known as “Cameo” Kirby be-
cause of his fondness for cameos as ar-
ticles of personal adornment, and the
character is said to be not only pe-
culiarly picturesque, but absolutely true
to life.
Nat. Goodwin was selected by the
Lieblers as béing the American actor
best qualified to create such a fole,
and those who remember. him. es the
Sheriff of Pike County in Augustus
Thomas’ play, “In Mizzourdh,’’ will. be
apt to agree that the choice is an ex-
cellent one. The Lieblers believe that
the play is destined to make one of the
biggest hits: of next season, owing alike
to its strong dramatic qualities and na-
tive appeal, and it' is thought that Nar.
Goodwin will find in the role of ‘‘Cameo”
Kirby the most congenial and fruitful
ef his entire career.
Edna Goodrich, leading woman in Mr.
Goodwin's:-company, this season, will be
engaged for this producti6én; entering
the cast .under a special contract. It
is said that, in scenic realism and fidel-
ity to the character types of the life to
be depicted, “Cameo Kirby’’ will be the
most notable American production ef

TIMELY INTEREST
66 HE ROAD TO YESTERDAY,”
T with dainty Minnie Dupree
and an excellent company,
comes to the Olympic for the week
opening Sunday night. The story of
the play is based on the reincarnation
of souls. It introduces its characters in
a modern London studio, transports
them in the two next acts to their ex-
istence of 300 years age, and ends with
a return to the present time. The piece
is said to be rich in literary satire. The
heroine has nourished her soul on his-
torical novels, and the second and third
acts are devoted to an amusing con-
trast between romantic imaginings and
the sordid facts of histery.
Ned Wayburn, one of the cleverest
producers and stage directors of musi-
cal comedies, has added many new
features to ‘‘The Time, the Place and
the Girl,” which begins a return en-
g2gement at the Century next Sunday
evening. -John E. Young, the popular
leading comedian of the Delmar Garden
summer season, has the leading comedy
role.
John Philip Sousa, at the head of his
famous band, will appear at the Odeon
on Tuesday and Wednesday. evenings of
this week, and at a special Wednesday
matinee. The soloists of the three
concerts are Miss Lucy Allen, soprano;
Miss Jeannette Powers, violinist: Mr.
Herbert L. Clark, -cornetist, and Mr.
Joseph Norrito, clarinet. and programs
of exceptional attractiveness will be of-
fered. Sousa‘'s ‘‘Last Days of Pompeii’
and Grieg’s ‘‘Peer Gynt” suite are feat-
ures of Tuesday night’s program.
At the Odeon on Monday ev ening, Feb.
10, Dwight Elmenderf will begin his
series of five Monday night illustrated
travel talks on American subjects of
great natural interest. The opening lec-
ture will present “The Panama Cawal,”’
the pictures showing now that great
work’ is being done, all the material for
the lecture having been obtained by Mr.
Elmendorf during a visit to Panama
last spring.
One of the prettiest in. “The

week will be the skating rink, for which
it Was necessary’ to lay a new maple
floor over the original Stage flooring.

FOUND BREWERY OPEN
Higginsville Preachers Are
Furious Over the
Reports.
HIGGINSVILLE, Mo., Feb. 1.—The
Higgineville “drys,’’ who are waging a
campaign to place saloons in Higgins-
ville under the ban at next Friday's
election, received a shock tonight 4vhen
the report of Mayor E. W. Mollen-
camp’s committee of the liquor some 5
in Kansas was rend.
The purpose of the committee, com-
posed of the Mayor, W. H. Bennette, a
strong advocate of prohibition, and
-~ George Hart, who favors municipal and
State control of the saloons, was to sce
if ‘the prohibition law in Kansas pro-
hibited.”” They found that ita not,
according to the report which Was read
at the mass meeting here tonight.
In their report and personally
three investigators stated that not on'‘y
Was liquor found to be sold in “blind
tigers” in Kansas, but that the prohibi-
tion law was openly violated. And one
of the paragraphs of ‘the report de-
seribes a brewery in full operation in
Kansas.
_ Preachers. Are Aroused.
The local preachers who have been
working up an agitation to have the
the
saloons closed are furious over the con--
Gitions as reported in “prohibition Kan-
sas.”’
Cominitteeman Bennette, the “dry”
‘member of the party, was asked if he
found any trouble getting liquor in .the
prohibition State.
“T ami sorry to say that.I did not,”
was the reply.
“The Mayor took 4s up there and had
aman to show us around. This was
‘necessary, because we have not much
time at our disposal. We intended visit-
ing two Kansas towns in one day. The
resident who met us in Atchison anid
took us to sce where liquor could be got,
goon had us in three places. Mayor
Mollencamp, who was most fair to me,
_ I must admit, told me that he thought
it would be better if I w ould find my
own Way around,
Makes Tour Alone.
“T acted on this guggestion by leaving
the Mayor and Mr. Hart and I! went
‘Inte a poolroom. I supposed that if
liquor was sold at all it would be in
connection with a poolroom
“Il went in and played two games
with a man in there. I, of zourse, had
never seen him before. When we fin-
ished, I asked him if it was not pogsi-
ble to get a drink. He told me he
guessed it was, as he was the proprie-
tor, and he had some ging?ér ale.
“‘Give me some of that.’ I said, and
he produced a quart bottle and a glass.
I thought the glass a mighty small
one for a dfink of ginger ale, but filled
it. On raising it to my lips, I found
it wag whisky.
-“*| cannot drink this rotten stuff,’
J told him. ‘Lét me have some bettered)
He said he was sorry, but he had just
it sold his last bottle of beer.’
Mayor Mollencamp eiiielill :
much of what Mr. Bennette had isaiade
of the tour of Atchison.
Visit Kansas Brewery.
“We were too busy,” said the May-{
or, “Inspecting the brewery in a prohi-
bition town, but there it was running
full blast und they told us they were
doing a splendid business. We were
told that the joints were not the only
places to gét liquor in Atchison,’ so it
was suggested that we visit a drug
' gtore. I did not go into the eb store,"’
said the. Mayor.
“"T have compunctions of conacience
about the register, that is, the oath

Committeemen Hart and Bennette vis.
ited an Atchison drug store.
Committeeman Hart explaineg . the
‘modus operandi of how liquor is sold.
“The register lay out on the counter,
“he said, ‘and when we asked for a
rink, we were required to make an af
fidavit that we needed liquot for med.
ical purposes. .
He Had “Stemach Trouble.”
“The man who was with us said he
had stomach trouble, and the druggist
' ®ave him a pint bottle of whisky. The
_ Mayor refused to even witness such a
violation of an oath and would not even
“go into the drug store. | went in to
see for oe and so did Mr. Ben-
nette.” - i ;
_ Mr. Rennette admitted witnessing the
- work of getting around the prohibition
law in a Kansas drug store by a man
@imply making a false oath.
“Was no effort made by the prescrip-
_ Hon clerk ‘to ascertain if the oath was
_ being made sincerely, or that there was
7 any other .evidence that the lquor
- asked for was needed for its medicinal
effects?” was inqu!red.
' “I have to admit that he did not pay
mi the slightest attention to that.” said
Committeeman Bennette.
“I donot think he even looked at
us. Our friend said that he wanted a
@rink of whisky, and the register was
tossed to him. While he was signing it,
, ‘Clerk was getting the liquor.”
RG StH Pavers Prohibition,
3 Mr, Bennette, asked if he thought that
of getting and -serving liquor
etter than across an open bar, adimit-
ted that it was a more dangerous way,
it still declared that he thought —
m was a “good thing.”

" City Must. Retrench.
"We will lose $4000 income by local
|} option and there will be just as much
liquor drunk as at present,”’ he says.
“We need every dollar of the license
money. To make up a single thousand
‘dollars. we will have to reduce the
wages of the superintendents of lights
and water from $60 to $0. We will
have to shut the lights down at ?
o'clock instead of midnight in order to
-have $20 a month in coal, and other-
wise we will have to retrench. The
most we can do is save $1000, when we
really need to save $4000. In return for
the sacrifice of this revenue we will get
the ‘blind tiger’ as it‘is in Kansas, and
as it is in those Missdéuri towns where
they have driven tlie saloon out.”
“Prohibition is the same failure today
it was 20 yearg ago in lowa when I
was a traveling man,” said the Mayor.
Mayor Mullencamp is a strict teeto-
taler. He took the pledge 15 years ago
and since has never tasted liquor.
Trenton Report Beats “Drys.”
The Higginsville report is not the
first which has been made in connec-
tion with a local option fight in Mis-
souri. At Trenton, when the cam-
paign was at its height, the merchants
appointed former Sheriff Meyers to go
into Kansas towns and ascertain true
conditions.
At a mass meeting held Thursday
night, Meyers made his report. He
found the conditions the Same as re-
ported by the Higginsville committee.
This report was read on the eve of elec-
tion.
The réport was the main discussion
when the men began gathering at the
polls the next morning. The result was
that Trenton voted to retain the saloons
by a majority of more than 300.

Gen. John W. Noble Is Attending
Forestry Association Convention
in Interest of Waterways.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1—Gen. Jolin
W. Noble of St. Louis, former Attor-
ney General.- believes the residents of
the Mississipp! Valley should be edu-
cated in the preservation of the Missis-
sippi and Missouri rivers‘and for that
reason he is in Washington attending
the convention of the American For-
estry Association.
“Scientists believe that -the destruc-
tion of the forests on our mountain
ranges is decreasing the ‘water supply
in our rivers, or at any rate tending to
make their flow spasmodic,’ said Gen.
Noble. “I directed the creation of
some ofvour big forest reservations un-
der President Harrison and I want to
hear what the experts of the forestry
association have to say on the effect
of the forests on the river.
“Tf we are going to have a deep wa-

people how to preserve it. St. Louisans
would be in a pretty bad way if the old

Mr. A. F. Oliver, a prominent citizen
“Be clean or absent’? is the precept
which governs the schoolroom of Miss
Agnes Toohey of Alton.
Miss Toohey #ays that in her task
of infusing knowledge into childish
heads she finds the average skull is dis-
couragingly thick without an outer coat-
ing of Alton clay.
Each morning whén her school assem-
bles Miss Téohey makes an examination
of her pupils’ faces and hands. .Someé-
times every face glows from recent 2s-
siduous scrubbing, and at other ti.es
every face does not glow with assidu-
ous scrubbing. On the occasions when
a dirty face is found the wearer of the
disgraceful countenance is required ‘to
carry a note home to his mother, re-
questing that the defect be remedied
and the student returned to school._
Strong Odor Traced. -
last week Miss Toohey detected an
odor in her room which wag not one to
be contused with that of attar of roses.
She soon traced the objectionable
smell to a small boy who had just
that dav entered the sthool. —
Miss Toohey sent the bey home
armed with a note asking the mother
to please eradicate the odor by bath-
ing the boy so that he might be a
pleasing companion for the other lit-
tle boys and girls. When he came
back he brought the same odor and a
note. The note read:
“Dear Miss Teacher:

covered it to be a scientific fact that
a clean child is easier to teach than a
dirty one. When asked if she con-
Sidered her theory concerning the
thickness of a dirt layer explained
this fact she laughingly said that she
did not know as to that,
“At any rate it makes them feel
bétter to be clean and it gives them

them to learn,” she said.

Municipal ownership of public light-

of Kirkwood in the city election to be
held in April. A Mayor,. four alder-
men and minor officers are to be

Kirkwood now has a municipal elec-.

the Independent party. Members of
the Progressive party declare that as a

cite the fact that it always fails to
bay expenses. The friends of the light
Plant say that the city saves money on
the plant because of the reduced rate
at which itg streets are lighted.
There is a general demand in Kitk-
wood for gas, and it is understood that

posed to awarding a gas franchise with-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—Official news
of the assassination of King Carlos and

the commission of the crime. President
Roosevelt was at once notified by Act-
ing Secretary of State Bacon and ex-
pressed his deep sorrow. Tomorrow he
will send his formal expressions of
grief to the royal family.
Government officials and members of
the diplomatic corps were shocked at
the news, and on every’ hand were
heard words of sorrow over the tragic
ending of Portugal's: monarch and his
heir to the throne.

carbines.
The royal family was driving in an open carriage when

de Arsenal suddenly sprang toward the carriage, and, 1
their carbines, fired in concert, mortally wounding the King
the Crown Prince and slightly wounding the King’s second
Prince Miguel.
Queen Amelie, who rose in the carriage and tried to shield t
Crown Prince, was unhurt. z
Immediately. the police guard fired on the regicides, wa p
three of them and capturing three others. One of the prisoners
committed suicide in his cell. It is believed that at least one of the
slayers was a Spaniard. :

, come ee of irkioet couriers thundered through the streets
“summoning to the bedside of the wounded yogth all the skilled
physicians that could be found in Lisbon.
The latest bulletin from the bedside of Prince Manuil states
‘that at present there is little danger of complications from the
wounds. :
Among the first to be called to the palace was Premier Franco,
the dictator of the Kingdom. Franco was protected by a squadron
of cavalrymen as he hastened to the palace, and there he conferred
with the Queen and high officials on what immediate action peal
be. taken. ,
RESULT OF PREMIER’S POLICY
The tragedy was the direct result of King Carlos’ recent po-
litical moves, carried out by Senhor Franco, the Premier, who pub-
lished a decree dissolving the Cortes and stated that after seven
months of strife he had found it impossible to govern with a Par-
liament and at the same time carry out his legislative program,
which included a policy of social and economic reforms and efficient
_ party control of the administratin. In.this he established a ver-
* itable dictatorship and since then has governed with an iron hand.
. For the last few months it has been evident that trouble was
brewing for Portugal and that revolutionists were at work. After
numerous minor risings had been. put down, the police, on Jan. 23,
uncovered a widespread plot to overthrow the monarchy and pro-
. claim Portugal a republic. The plot was organized by a _ small
group of advanced Republicans, and the original intention was to
assasinate Premier Franeo and depend upon secret Republican an¢
labor organizations, armed with bombs and revolvers, to complete
the work of revdlution in the streets. — :
POLICE RAIDED PLOTTERS.
But the police raided the meeting place of the conspirators
-and made a number of arrests, seizing quantities of bombs and oth-
er weapons, and since then other raids have been made in Lisbon,
with the result that the’ police believed they had the revolutionaries
well in hand. Each day, however, brought new evidences of the
, ramifications of the plot to remove the heads of the state and
~ establish republicanism in the country,
A treaty with England, hoteever not only provides for as-
sistance from that country in event of foreign invasion of Por-
tugal. but it also was designed to safeguard the Crown against
any danger from revolution in the form of an attempt upon the
» monarchy itself.
Dom Miguel de Braganza, the pretender to the ticcanb; and
head of the house of the Jine of Braganza, which formerly reigned
over Portngal, is likely to come to the front again because
of the death of King Carlos and the Crown Prince. The
father of Dom Miguel was the late-King Miguel I, Duke of Bra-
4 ns , Who seized the throne from his niece, Queen Maria _ II,
leughter of Emperor Pedro I of Brazil, and was King of Portu-
7 al from 1828 to 1834, at which latter date Quéen Maria was re-
* stored to the throne.
_ There have been numerous rumors of a. rebellion with the “ob-
of placing Dom Miguel on the throne, but recently these were
Mot given serious consideration. Last June Dom Miguel, through
th medium of 7H newspapers of Vienna, mmvenerd his readiness

In his carriage and manner Dom Carlos was dignified and kingly, though
Before the popular disturbances he fged to walk about the streets

He was known as “the jo-

vial King.”
His marriage to the beautiful Amelie of Orieans ‘was tinged with ro-
mance unusual for roy eity. The. young Duke of Braganza always said his wife
must be a “faity princess,” rich and beautiful and good. It was long before
he found any who seemed to meet those difficult requirements,
a photograph of Amelie and showed it to the young Portuguese Prince. ' Carlos
fell-in love. They were married in May, 1886.
The Queen was the daughter of the Comte de, Paris,’ “the first Prince
of the blood roval of France,” who. resided aq a country gentleman at Twick-
enham. The young woman was edueated im England and was more an KEn-
glish girl in her tastes and habits than a Princess of the Bourbon- Orleans
family.
QUEEN VICTORIA AIDED WOOER.
Queen Victoria was a helpful ally for: Carlos in winning “the nial of the
Orleanist Princess. Carlos made a trip to England to see for himself the orig-
inal of the beautiful photograph. Amelia was. urged by Victoria to accept
her royal suitor, The brief courtship was gone through’'with in grand
style.
All England knew that the King of Portugal had come to woo the fair
maid of Twickenham and a hearty English “God bless you” followed the
newly married pair to Lisbon. :
Later the King and Queen of Portugal paid a visit to their royal bene-
factress of England and were honored guests at Windsor Castle.
'|Queen, a Famous Swimmer, Won a
Medal By Saving Drowning Children
The Queen of Portugal is one of the, most gifted women in Europe. She
was known in England, before her marriage, as a sportwoman, especially as 1
powerful swimmer. In after years she was awarded a medal for heroism in
saving the lives of two children who were drowning in the River Tagus.
But intellectuality she always has shown brightest. She studied medi-
cine and obtained the degree of. M. D., the only Queen in the world whosever
won that distinction. Out of her private purse she maintains a hospital and
dispensary in Lisbond and contributes largely to institutions of that nature in
various parts of the kingdom.
She is deeply interested in nursing as a vocation for women and used her
own medical knowledge to advantage in dieting and doctoring her gluttonous
husband when fife pleasures of the table began to take such a strong hold on
him. It was sitid that he used to steal away to Paris and other places to get
a meal to his own liking, as the Queen made him diet rigidly at home.
Amelie was one of the first persons of prominence outside the scientific
world to take an interest in the X-ray.
by the X-ray process of a woman who habitually laced tightly. This photo-
graph showed the actual deformity produced by stays drawn too tightly and
was used by the Queen in her perpetual campaign against this feminine
vanity.
d KING WIDELY KNOWN ARTIST.
She was deeply interested in her husband’s scientific studies, especially
oceanography, in which ne devoted much time. She was an appreciative critic
also, of his painting, in which field he occupied a high position among the
artists of his country. ;
Both Carlos and Amelié were looked upon as among the most brilliant of
European sovereigns, and both were absolutely fearless. Less than two
mdnths ago Amelie, then in Paris, was to have made a balloon ascension, but
Carlos heard of it and wired:: “The Queen of Portugal shall not go up ina
balloon.” So that adventure was abandoned.
Two sons were born to their Portuguese majesties, the late Crown Prince
and Prince Manuel, now 18 vears old and the uccessor to the throne. The
latter has figured in the public prints abroad ‘very li(tle and Prince Luiz onl

a son of the expatriated Prince Miguel of Portugal. His mother, now a nun,
was a princess of Lowenstein’ Wertheim. A nephew of hers was killed in the
Philippines in 1899, while fighting in the ranks of the insurgents against
American troops.

a sort of dowager king, having had the title without the authority of a king

Warned That His Throne Was «
Tottering, King Exiled His Son
King Carlos has been between two,
fires. He has had to contend with a
disgruntled populace on the one hand
and a hotheaded son, Crown Prince
Louls. Philippe, on the other.
The populace of Portugal has been
bitter toward Premier Franco, who has
been the King’s great financial prop.
Business has been poor and taxes are
all out of proportion to the ability of
the people to pay, according to the popu-
lar complaint. The institution of roy-
alty and the administration of Premier
Franco have peen blamed for this state
of affairs.
Franco, who is an able financier, has
had to steer through a narrow channel.
He was looked to not only to bolster
up the revenues of the State and of the
Crown, but to do so in a way that would
pacify and satisfy. the people.
Indignant at J’remier.
He succeeded’ as far as the public
funds were concerned, but the people
cried out that the money for this was
squeezed from them by adding to al-
ready heavy ‘burdens of taxation. Their
hatred has been bitter against the min-
ister “dictator.”

Internal troubles began in Portugal!
in 1904. The original ,issue was. the
question of the tobacco monopoly, a
minor matter, but it caused the downfall
of one ministry. Several ministries fol-
lowed one another in quick succession.
The tobacco monopoly question finally
was disposed of, but the Cortes, the na-
tional legislative body, was in a sfate
of hopeless confusion. Parliamentary
government seemed a practical impossi-
bility.
The various premiers importuned King
Carlos to dissolve the Cortes and place
them in contro] of the State. But the

Sou Quarreled With King.
The boy’s reception there was an ova-
tion. He was intoxicated by the demon-
Strations in his honor. He was a bright,
precocious youngster of not quite 2,
and praise and flattery had tended to
spoil him before the African-trip. On
his return he quarreled with his father.
He told the King that the monarchy

favor would prevent the impending

The too outspoken Prince was hustled
off to an out-of-the-way chateau and
kept’ there, a virtual prisoner, while
Franco continued to wrestle with ques-
tions of finance and taxation, and while
: Franco's Reign Resented.
The Cortez was adjourned sine die
and Franco was in control. “A coup
d’etat’’ the move was termed, and so it
was in a sense, but the situation was
critical and strong measures had to be
applied. Republican ideas had grown
up among the people. The Portuguese
read Victor Hugo. They resented the
idea of a ‘“‘dictator,” as Franco was
calied. They’ had no patience with such
radical measures on the part of the
throne, though the avowed purpose was
to restore orper and prosperity to Por-
tual.
Mutterings of discontent, outiurete of
popular rage became frequent. There
were repubilcan uprisings and bar-
ricades were thrown up in the streets of
Lisbon. The army stood with the King.
and these fitful bursts of popular pas-
sion were smothered ag they manifested
themselves. 4
But they grew more frequent. It be-
came &@ common saying that the mon-
archy was tottering. At this functure

on account of the political nature of her

Communication From Architect to ee :
bit Given Out After Slayer Is Acquit-
ed on Insanity Plea. )
SS
CQNTINUED FROM. PAGE ONE,
Justice Dowling’s commitment was wn-
constitutional. If this move is unsuc-
cessful, they will apply for a writ of
habeas corpus and canse the appoint-
ment of a commission to examine Thaw
and report upon His mental condition,
Thaw protested violently against going
to Matteawan. He declared with all the
force of his violent nature that his law-
vers ought to obtain his release ai
once.
In Commanding Attitude.
A long conference was held by the
lawyers. They had all their papers
ready to obtain a writ, but Littleton
argued that “We had better let sleeping
dogs sleep’ for a time. Plainly, he
thought it better to go slow with public
opinion.
Stancing in the middle of the floor
fwith exultation shining from every one
of his features, Thaw, in the tone of a
victorious general addressing a_ well
meaning, but tardy, Neutenant, ordered
Littleton to use all diligence in getting
before Justice Newburger.
Littleton promised him that he would
go at once to the Supreme Court, but
at the door he stopped for a word with
a friend. Thaw watched him impatient-
jy for a moment and then called out
sharply:
“Mr. Littleton, aren’t you going to the
Supreme Court to get that writ?’
“Yes, in a moment,” said Littleton,
soothingly.
“But you do not seem to be going,
perceptibly,” said Thaw, chewing on
his cigar stump. |
Finally lawyer Peabody convinced
Thaw he had better go to the asylum
until Monday.
Friend Leads Applause.
When the time came to start, Thaw,
accompanied by his wife, Dan O'Reilly,
his attorney, and a deputy sheriff, walk-
ed over the Bridge of Sighs to the
Tombs. He bade good-by to all the
prison officials and climbed into his own
automobile, which had béen run into the
jail yard. His wife, O'Reilly, .Lawyer
Peabody and Deputy Sheriff Bell got
into the car with him. Deputy Sheriff
Bell and Detective Moore of Peabody’s
— got on the seat with the chauf-
eur
' The big gates leading to Lafayette
street were opened and the automobile
shot out into the immense crowd. Led
by Rafael Gascone, the Italian whom
Thaw assisted with money and advice
to get out of Sing Sing death house and
finally get an acquittal on a murder
charge, the crowd cheered until the
buildings about rang with the echoes.
Police Guard at Station.
Up Lafayette street to Canal street
fhe crowd ran after the automobile.
When the car was lost to the crowd
many of the pursuers ran for the near-
set subway station to the Grand Central
Depot. 3
Another crowd was encountered at the
Grand Central, where a pdlice guard
was necessary to get Thaw to the gate
leading to the train:: He was cheered
there and appeared to enjoy the manli-
festations of good will that greeted him
on every hand. |
Wife Weeps at Parting.
En route | to the Grand Central Sta-
tion, Thaw said he was very anxious
to see the ruins of the big Parker build-
ing, so the motor car turned into Fourth
avenue. Continuing north on’ Fourth
avenue, the automobile passed in the
very shadow of that tower on which is
perched “‘Chaste Diana,’’ who: looked
down on the tragedy of the roof a year
ago last July. Neither the man just de-
clared insane nor the wife glanced at
the garden, but seemingly were matles
away in thought.
The car went to the Lexington avenue
entrance of the station and there-Mrs.
Thaw bade her husband good- os She
was pale, weeping. It was p at
genuine sorrow possessed her. ” Phaw
threw his arms around her, embraced
her closely and -now whispered’ to her,
now kissed her. As she was whisked
away he said sadly:
“That poor little girl is alone now.
I’m more worried about her than any-
thing else.”’
On the brief journey to the asylum,
IThaw showed no anxiety as. to what
awaited him in the prison for the in-
sane. He spoke of his wife and again
regretted that she was left ‘‘alone.’
When the verdict had been spoken
by the foreman, Dan Moore, a clerk
for Mr. Peabody, went to the nearest
telephone and called up the apartments
of the Thaw family at the Hotel Lor-
rdine. Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie,
Harry Thaw’s sister, answered the tele-
phone, and to her Moore told the news.
Mrs. William Thaw took the tranemitter
yrom her daughter's hand and talked
over the wire with Moore. To the clerk
the prisoner's mother said:
“T am very glad that Harry has been
acquitted, but I hope, with all my heart,
that he will not have to go to Mattea-
wan, because I do not want such a stig-
ma to be laid on any member of the
Thaw family.”
Ap Unwilling Traveler,
It was a quick transition from the
dingy little cell in the Tombs, which
had been Thaw's home for more than
eighteen months, to the white-bedded
wards of the large asylum tucked
away on the snow-covered § sloping
banks of the Hudson River, # miles
above the city. The verdict came aft
er 2 hours of waiting, and when ev-
eryone connected with the case had
abandoned all hope of an agreement in
this or any other trial. Four hours
after Foreman Gremmels’ lips bad.
framed the words that the jury had
found Thaw “not guilty," Thaw, pro
testing he was sane, was on bis way to
Matteawan. A few minutes after night-
full he had been received in the insfitu-
tion under commitment papers, which
directed his detention “until discharged
by due course of law.”
No more unwilling patient ever made
a journey to a State institution. Thaw's

would be. better t

Advises Againat
Justice Dowling, it was
consulted in the matter he newts
signed his order of commitment and in-
formally had advised Thaw’s counsel —
against making an immediate contest. —
until after a lively scene with his coun-
sel and his wife, the latter pleading
with him for more than ,eh hour to be
content for a time at least with what
fate had given him.
Unper the promise that some action
speedily will be taken looking to the —
appointment of a commission to inquire —
fer to’a private institution, where
‘wife and other members of his
might reside with him. Thaw consent-
ed to go without further protest.
On his way to Matteawan, Thaw dic-—
tated the following ‘statement:
“IT am perfectly sane now, but I am
going to Matteawan on the advice of
my counsel, who thought it a little un-
wise to sue for a writ of habeas corpus
at this time. Counsel wil proceed in the
matter of my release just as _800n as
they can get together the proof they
will present. that I am at present sane,
I am confident that my stay at Mattea-
wan will be for a short period of time
only.’’
Attorneys Peabody-and O'Reilly whee
w-th Thaw to Matteawan. Mr. Littleton
is understood to have talked very plain-
ly to Thaw while the subject of suing
out a writ of habeas corpus was under
discussion. ‘On an exception filed by Mr.
Littleton, Justice Dowling had
a delay until 3 o'clock In the execution
of the commitment papers, so that coun-
sel might consult with the defendant.
Mr. Littleton informed Thaw, it was
stated, that “there is such a thing as
public sentiment ir New York City.” .
Littleton Worn Out.
Mr. Littleton went neither to the sta-
tion nor to the asylum with his clitent.
He waa said to be well nigh worn out
from his work during the trial.
Thaw had no opportunity to bid his
mother farewell. The Gourt order
Bell was anxious to take the first train
leading up the Hudson. Both the moth- -
er and Evelyn Thaw will visit Mattea- —
wan Monday, all visitors being barred
from the institution on Sunday. J
Daniel O’Reilly announced at Fishkill
Landing tonight that when a writ” of
habeas corpus is sued out in Thaw’'s be
half—if such action shall be decided®on
in the near future—the application pro
ably will be made at Poughkeepsie,
Y., the county seat of Dutchess County,
in which Matteawan is situated. £

there is no foundation for them, sileice

son, for he surely must be that.”
MATTEAWAN, N. Y., Feb. 1.—Hafry
K. Thaw arrived here tonight and Was

The arrival at Fishkill Landing of the
train bearing the Thaw party caused a
commotion In the littl town. Photogra-
'phers from New York had come on an

SUNDAY MORNING—§T. LOUIS
: Indicted on a Charge of Criminal
Assault, He Deserted His Wife)
and Children in New York, Mar-
ried Again Under a False Name,
and Died in Freeport, II1.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
>
"The second wife, Mrs. Levingston, he married in Ontario in 1853,
while his first wife was living with her five children in Cleveland, O.
This second wife is now living in Freeport, Ill., a charming, white-
_~ haired, Christian woman of 70 years.
Dr. Rockefeller was 45 years old when he deserted his wife and
family in Clevcland and went to Canada and, under the assumed name
of William Levingston, married Miss Margaret L. Allen, a pretty girl
of 20. For 50 vears she lived with him as his wife, never knowing
until just before he died that her husband was a bigamist. Until a
: few vears before his death she did not know that he was William A.
Rockefeller, or that he had been indicted in New York State. Even
now she will not say that he was William A. Rockefeller.
“We-lived .happily together for 50 years and I shall be a true
woman to the end,” she says. 7
ONLY FOUR KNEW HIS SECRET
During the last 25 years of his life Dr. Rockefeller’s where-
abouts and the existence of the other wife were known to his sons,
John D., William and Frank Rockefeller, and to his son-in-law,
Pierson D. Briggs of Cleveland. But no one else in all the world
knew of it.
The first Mrs. Rockefeller lived 34 years after he deserted her,
and died without knowing that her husband had taken a girl of 20
in her stead. And all the members of the Rockefeller family, ex-
cept these four men, knew nothing of it. They did not know
‘where the old man lived. The three sons kept him well supplied
‘with money, but they guarded well the secret of his life and
whereabouts. | |
| He was first hidden on a farm in Macon County, IIl., about
half way between Decatur and Clinton. As the country settled up
around him he moved to Freeport, Ill., and in 1881 he moved again
to the extreme frontier in North, Dakota, on a farm 30 miles from
8 railroad. On this farm he spent each summer for 15 years, known
. to his neighbors as Dr. William Levingston. Part of the time he
x owned the farm, in his own name of William A. Rockefeller, but
that secret was buried in the records of the County Registrar of
Deeds, 18 miles away, and his neighbors never knew of it.
| For two years the newspapers an@ magazines of this country
have searched for the father of John D. Rockefeller. Ida M. Tar-
bell began the hunt, andthe results of her quest were publishd in
McClure’s Magazine in July, 1905. She traced the old man to
_ Cleveland, to which city he moved with his family in 1855. She lost
Kim there. |
In her article in the magazine she spoke of John D. Rockefeller
: as ‘‘the most tragic figure in the publie eye,’’ ‘‘the most important
than in the world,’’ and ‘‘the most successful man in the world,’
because he had got most of what men most want—money ; and she
gave as her reason for trying to find John D. Rockefeller’s father:
‘‘Now a man who possesses the influence that Rockefeller does
eannot be allowed to live in the dark» The publie not only has the
‘right, to know, it is the duty of the public to know who he is,
whence he came and his origin.’’ |
EVEN HIS RELATIVES IN THE DARK
- Since the appearance of Miss Tarbell’s article in 1905 thousands
‘of dollars have been spent im the search, but not even a trace of
> him could be found, Some members of the Rockefeller family
were as eager as the public. to solve the mystery of the old man’s
| disappearance. One of them furnished Miss Tarbell a photograph
of the elder Rockefeller, whith was published with her story in Me-
Clure’s magazine, but the four men who knew the secret kept it so
will get their first knowledge of the revelation from. this article.
' . William A. Rockefeller’s bigamous marriage has been the
skeleton in the family of the ‘‘Oil King.’’ Because of the existence
of this second wife the secret of his whereabouts has been guarded
he only four persons who knew it. They have been importurled
iy Other members of the family, socially prominent in*New York.

One since his disappearance the old man visited his son, Frank
“Rockefeller, .on his ranch in Belvidere, Kan., and spent two weeks
Twice he has visited his son,
D. Rockefeller; once at. his home near Cleveland, and once at
<n home in Pontiac, N. Y. Other members of the family were ig-
‘norant of these visits until after the old man had returned to his

3a Last summer public interest in this mystery of the Rockefeller
was intensified by the publication in the Post-Dispatch and
-. York World of an interview with Frank Rockefeller, obtained
‘Boon after the appearance of the Ida Tarbell story in McClure’s
_ In this interview Frank Rockefeller said that his father was
ve, that his whereabouts were a secret, and that there were
reasons why that secret must not then be divulged. Through-
ut the interview he denounced his brother, John D., and intimat.-
. that his father had been unjustly dealt with. —
| “Go ask John 1D. where our father is. Tell him that I
an 9 I dare him to answer,” he said. | |

or neglected by-his sons. He visite
‘them and there is evidence that they
‘visited him in his exile. Some eight or
ten years ago John D. Rockefeller went
in his private car to Freeport and spent
a night there. His father, ‘‘Dr. Leving-
ston,’ was at his home in Freeport at
the time, but whether the father and
son met is not known.
It is pretty well. known that the old
man was secretly visited in his home
1904, when it was thought hé was dying
from shock, as the result of| a broken
arm; and again in the winter and spring
of 1906, when he was dying. It.is well
known, too, that the old man received
regular remittances from Cleveland all
through the latter years of his life, and
that he held stock in the Standard Oil
Co. and drew dividends, as much as
$3000 at a time on this stock.
The available evidence indicates that
William A. Rockefeller, under the name
of “‘Levingston” was well cared for by
his.sons, but that his second wife, the
girl he married while his first wife was
yet living, was. never recognized in any
way by his sons, and that efforts were
madé to induce him to live apart’ from
her as much as possible.
* Following this policy the old man lived
alone each summer during the last years
of his I'fe on his ranch in North Dakota,
and his wife never visited him there.
They lived apart each summer and were
together each winter. ,
His Life Story. ,
William A. Rockefeller moved from
Massachusetts to Richford, N. Y., with
his father’s family when he was 23 years
old. In 1837 he married El'za Davison, a
farmer’s daughter, and in 1839 their first
child, John D. Rockefeller, was born.
In 184 he moved with his family to
Moravia, N. Y., and in that county
he was indicted in 1849 on the charge
of criminal assault. This accusation
was indeed grave enough to supply
the motive for Rockefellers flight and
subsequest hiding under an as-
sumed name. In 1850 ‘he moved
his family, which consisted of his wife
and five children—John D., William,
Frank, Mary and Lucy—to Oswego, N.
Y. Three years jater they moved to
Strongville, O., 15 miles southwest of
Cleveland. A year later they moved
again.to Parma, seven miles from Cleve-
land, and in 1857 they moved to Cleve-
land, ;
Always a Mystery.
He was a poor farmer, this - elder
Rockefeller. He was rarely at home,
and a hired ma~ did all the work of
the farm. Everybody liked his wife,
but few of his neighbors had acquaint-
ance with Rockefeller. He was a great
mystery of the country-side. The gos-
sip of him may be heard to this day
in all.of the many places in Which he
lived, Returning home only at infre-
quent intervals, his own children knew
him not as well as they knew ma
another man in the neighborhood. sf
He would disappear for four or five
months at a time. Then some morning
he would be at home and remain there
for a few weeks before departing for
another season. He supported the fam-
ily, paid the rent regularly, and when he
returned from his trips vas well sup-
plied with money, He was a pleasant
but taciturn man, who shared no confi
dences. ;
None of the neighbors knew what his
occupation was, nor did his own family,
a mystery about his long absences and
his reticence on the occasion of his in-
frequent visits home that catised his
neighbors to shake their heads, —
Seme of them said that Mr. Rocke-
feller must be in & queér business, + since
he did hot care to Make known what
it was.

Old “Hi’’ Odell, 8 years old, is yet
living in Oswego, N. Y. He seid re-
cently to @ reporter for.the Post-Dic-
patch:
“I went to work for Bill Rockefeller
when he lived in Moravia. I was rail-
roading some then, but Bill he says to
me, ‘Hi,’ he says, ‘I want you to live
up to our house and keep an eye on

enough to manage 'em, and they need
some managing. Do just what you
think is right for ’em.’ ”
Miss Tarbell’s Description.
In her description of the father of
John D. Rockefeller Miss Tarbell
said:
“It is with William.A. Rockefeller.
father of John, that we have to do
here. There is enough which is au-
thentic to be gleaned about him to
form 2 picture of a striking character.
He was a tall and- powerful man; with
keen, straightforward eyes, a man in
whom strength, and fearlessness, and
joy in life, unfettered by education
or love of decency, ran riot.’ He
owned a costly rifle and was famous
as a shot. He was a daredevil with
horses. He had all the vices save
one—he never drank. He was a fa-
mous trickster, too; thus, when he
first reached Richford he is said to
have called himself a peddler—a deaf
and dumb peddler, and for some time
he actually succeeded in making his
acquaintances write out their remarks
to him on a slate. Why he wished to
deceive them no one knows. Perhaps
sheer mischief, perhaps a desire to
hear things which would hardly be
talked before a stranger with go00d
ears.
His Mysterious Trips.
“It was not long after he came to
Richford that he began to So off on
long trips—peddling trips some said.
Later he became known as a quack
doctor, and his absences were sup-
posed to be spent in selling a med-
icine he concocted himself. Irregular
and wild as his life undoubtedly was,
his strength and skill and daring, his
frankness, his careful dress, for he
paid great attention to hig clothes, as
well as the mystery surrounding the
occupation which, kept him looking
so prosperous, made him a fevyorite
with the young and reckless, and, un-
happily, with women.
~ “In the Ohio communities where he
lived the legends of ‘Old Billi,’ as he is
popularly spoken of today, are ident-
ical with those in New York. They P
all remember him as a man who came
home but rarely, who was supposed tv
sel] some kind of medicine—a ‘cancer
doctor’ is the opinion of one, » ‘quack
doctor’ of another. In Ohio, as in New
York, he always created a profound
impression on his visits home, by his
clothes, his good horse, and his crack
shooting.
“He was a rippin’ good one,” an old
associate in Parma declares. }!°'v he
would shoot-bang-e-tee-bang—you'd ‘a’
thought there was a whole army
around. "
These same habits were with old man
Rockefeller to the end .i his days. He
never gave up his ‘‘quack doctoring,”’
his roving, his fine horses, his shooting
or his love of the fields.
Upon his trips away from home Wil-
liam Ai Rockefeller went under an as-
sumed name, Whether this was because
of the indictment against him in Cayuga
County, N. Y., or to cover up his rela-
tions with women, is not known; but
it is known that upon one of his “med-
ical’ trips into Ontario, Canada, in the
50's, he appeared at Burford and Nor.
wich under the name of “Dr. William
Levingston.” This has been learned
by a reporter for the Post-Dispatch.
This, and the other trips of the elder
Rockefeller into Canada were referred
to in an interview given out in 190,
soon after the publication of the Tarbell
story. The interview was given by the
manager of John D. Rockefeller’s es-
tate in Pocantico, and was understood
to be authorized by John w». himself.
In the course of the interview the man-
ager was asked: ,
“Are you acquainted with Mr. Rocke-
feller’s father?’
An Authorized Statement.
“Indeed I am,’’ he answered. “He was
here about a@ year ago. A recent maga-
zine story refers to him as a.man who
associated with horse thieves up at Mo-
rayla, and who used to absent himself
from home for long periods and return
with plenty of money. I know that he
used to £0 away, and I know why.
He had a farm which would never yield
any profit, so he went over to Canada,
bought up a lot of fine timber, walnut
and ash, sent it to the mills and sold
it at a handsome pront. sie repeated
this’ often until finally he devoted al!
of his time to the lumber business an:!
made a small fortune. The old man is

Sister Tclis of Marriage.
Mrs. Loessing of Norwich, Ont., a sis-
ter of Misa Allen, tells this story of the
marriage of “Dr. Levingston:’’
“He married my sister after two or
three years’ acquaintance and after their
matriage he visited her here about: once
a year for a number of years. He was
everybody. He was a famous marksman
and loved to hunt. He was fond of a
good story. mF
“From here they nioved to Phfladel-
phia and ther lived ona farm in Iii-
hols. Afterward he sold h’s farm and
lived a retired life ‘in Freeport, I1.’’
Bought Farm in Illinois.
Dr. Levingston and his young wife
first appeared in the West in 183/. The
registry of decds of Macon County, IIL,
show that April 18, 1867, William = A,
Barnes and wife sold to Mrs. Margaret
L. Allen Levingston for $2400 a. farm of
160 acres five miles east of Maroa,in that
county. Dr. and Mrs. Levingston
moved on the farm and lived there three
years. |
The records show that Oct. 2%, 186%
William Levingston and his wife, Mar-
garet L. Allen Levingston, old the
farm to S. M. Currier for $6900, a profit
of $4590 in two years. Mr. Currier paid
$1900. in cash and gavé a mortgage for
$5000 at 10 per cent’ interest.
The Levingstons ere well remembered
by the older residents of Maroa and
Deeatur, among them Dr. W. A. Barnes
of Decatur. They all deseribe him as a
jolly, good-natured man, who spent most
of his time hunting.
“He didn’t do nothing but hunt, and
when he got out in the fields with them
guns of hisn you’ée a .thought a whole
battery was agoing off,” one of his
old neighbors said.
They all describe him as exactly the
kind of a jolly, roving, shooting man
told of by Ida Tarbell, and when the
picture of William A. Rockefeller ap-
peared in McClure’s magazine al! of the
old folks around Maroa recognized it
as the perfect likeness of Dr. Leving-
ston.
After the Levingstons sold the farm
to Currier they boarded with him for
a year and then moved to Princeton,
Ill., and lived two years, and then they
moved to Freeport, Iil., and Mrs. Lev-
ingstbn bought a small brick cottage
there across the street from her brother.
S. V. Allen, a photographer. That was
in 1872, and she has lived tnere ever
since, making ocgasional summer trips
to her former home in Norwich,
Canada.
Would Disappear for Months.
In Freeport Dr. Levingston was the
same roving, mysterious person he had
been in New York end in Ohio. He
was.seldom at home. He would be gone
for months and come back w'th a great
roll of money which he would display.
He would go to smail towns and put up
at a hotel for a week or so, getting out
hand bills advertising himself as ‘“The
Celebrated, Dr. Levingston.” He ad-
vertised to cure anything, but made a
specialty of cancer and kidney troubles.
Among ‘those: who knew Dr. Levingston
well in Freeport was G. F. Swartz, a
druggist. He has yet in an Old book,
yellow with age, the prescription he
used to fill for Dr. Levingston. It is as
follows:

“He used to make lots of money ped-

big roll of money, with a $100 bill al-
ways on the outside. He was « great
hunter, too. He always carried his
guns with him. He had half a dozen,
I guess, and when he was at home
here he Was out hunting most of ars
time.””
Mr. "Bidwell, president of & bank in
Freeport, told @ Post-Dispatch report-
er a story illustrating Dr. Leving-
ston’s love of hunting and his methods
ofscuring ailments.
“Tl knew him well. He used to keep
an account In my bank, and I used to
go hunting with him. He was the best

His Trips Northward.
From Freeport. Dr. Levingston went
upon trips into the frentie® country as
far north as the Canadian border line
in *the Red River Valley and in tie
country. around Devil's Lake, North
Dakota. This was a country suited co
his nature-loving chafacter. Game was
plentiful... o4 "Seer
Dr.C Levingston took his battery of
shotguns with him on these trips and
spent as much time shooting as he did
selling medicine.
Documents
The deeds on record in Grafton. coun-
ty seat of Walsh County, N. D., furnish
the positive documentary proof that
Dr. William Leyingston and Dr. Wil-
Ham A. Rockefeller ‘were one and the
same person... .. aly. ee
Among those records is the deed from
the United Statea Government to Dr.
William Levingston to the northwest
quarter of section 27, township 157, the
claim he homesteaded.
He*must havé told hig relatives in
Cleveland about. the ddeal spot which
he had discovered on the Western
frontier, for in 1883 he bought anotarr
quarter section adjoining his. This was
the southeast quarter of section 28,
which had been homesteaded by Donald
Ross. Dr.. Levingston bought it from
him for $1800, as the deed shows. ~
.-Mr. Ross says the money was paid hiin
by Dr. Levingston, but the land wes
not deeded to him but to his son-in-
law, Pierson W. Briggs of Cleveland,
O. Briggs was at that time purchasing
agent of the Standard Oi) Co. in Clevé-
land. Years before he had married
Lucy Rockefeller, sister of John D.
Rockefeller, and eldest daughter of
Dr. William A. Rockefeller, alias Dr.
William Levingston. She died in 1876
and Mr. Briggs had married again.
Deed Still on Record. | &
The deed conveying the quarte? sec-
tion from Donald Ross to Mr. Briggs
and his wife, Laura E. Briggs, was filed
for record Nov. 21, 1883, and is yet on
record. A strip of this land was deeded
a@ year later by Briggs to the railway
company for a right of way.
There are men in North Dakota who
declare that it was. really John D.
Rockefeller who owned this land and
that it was put into the name of his
brother-in-law, Briggs, as a blind, and
that John D. knew when he bought it
that the railroad was to be extended
and that his influence obtained the loca-
tien of the Park River townsite on it
of it. At any rate, the money for it
went to Briggs in Cleveland.
What the Deeds Show.
Another deed, recorded Nov. 15, 1884,
shows that John Ross conveyed to Pier-
son D. Briggs and wife a third quarter
eof the section, the price being $2900.
Thus, in 18%, Mr. Briggs owned three
adjoining quarter sections, the one he
had bought from his father-in-law, Dr.
Willlam A. Rockefeller, alias Dr. Wil-
liam Levingston, for $2000; the one from
Donald Ross for $1900, and the one from
John» Ross for $2000, a total purchase
price of $670.
July 26, 1886, these three quarter
sections, of 480 acres, were conveyed
by Pierson D. Briggs and wife to Wii-
liam A. Reckefeller, bis father-in-law.
The three deeds were fled for record
the annie day, July 26, 18986, and the
price named ia the deeds was $10,090
for the three tracts.

FACTS NOT DENIED BY
BRIGGS; ROCKEFELLER
SAYS: “NOT A D-- WORD”
By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch.
CLEVELAND, 0O., Feb. 1.--Pierson D. Briggs, brother-in-law of John
D. Rockefeller, lives at 6530 Euclid avenue. When he sold the ranch in
Park River, N. D., to his father-in-law, William A. Rockefeller, Mr. Briggs
was purchasing agent of the Standard Oi] Co. and the confidential agent
of John D. Now he is retired froni active business. |
He is old and white-haired and ig confined to the house most of the
time with an affliction of the liver. He is a courteous, mild-mannered old
gentleman. He received the reporter for the Post-Dispatch in the parlor
of his home today, and when he was questioned about the ranch in North
Dakota he said:
“Yes, I did own a farm in Park River, N. D., but I don’t own it now.
I sold it.”
-. “Was the William A. Rockefeller to whom you sold it your father-
in-law?” he was asked.
“I don’t know. It was a long time ago. I wanted to sell it. A man
named Rockefeller came along and bought it. He did not pay for. it, or.
something, and I took it back. That’s all there was to the transaction.”
SAYS HE CAN’T REMEMBER.
“But the deed of sale on record shows that you did receive $10,000 for
the farm when you sold it to William A. Rockefeller.”
“Does it? Well, well; maybe that’s true. At any rate, it was a
time ago.”
- “The William A. Rockefeller to whom you sold the ranch was not
your brother-in-law, William A. Rockefeller of New York, was he?”
“No, no. His name is not William A. It is just William, He had
nothing to do with it.” )
“It was, in fact, your father-in-law, William A. Rockefeller, who lived
on the farm under the flame of’ Dr. William Levingston, was it not?”
“Well, now, as to that I cannot say. You see, I did not really own the
ranch myself, although it was in my name. I was acting for someone else
in the whole transaction.”
“You were acting for John D. Rockefeller, were you not
“Really, I am not at liberty now to discuss the matter. It was a pri-
vate business matter, and it was very long ago.”
MAKES NO DENIAL,
“Will you say it was not your father-in-law, William A. Rockefeller,
who lived there under the name of Dr. William Levingston, but who
bought the farm from you under his right name?”
“Really, I don’t know as to that. How badly it snows outside. It’s a
real northeaster, isn’t it?”
Mr, Briggs was asked if he knew his father-in-law, Mr. Rockefeller,
very well. ©
“Oh, yes, yes, I knew him well, very well, forty or fifty years ago.
Yes, indeed. He was a fine old gentleman.”
The tio photographs of Dr. Levingston. which appear in the Post-
Dispatch were shown to Mr. Briggs. He held them a long time, looking at
them, without speaking. Then he handed them back,
“Are those pictures of your father-in-law, William A, Rockefeller?”
he was asked.
“Really, it has*been so long ago,” he answered. “I would not recognize
his picture now if I saw it.”
“Were you ever at Park River, N. D.?”
“Yes, I was out there three days when I last sold the farm.”
“Did you see Dr. Levingston then?”
“No, he was not then on the ranch. He was down at his home in
Freeport. I saw only the boy in charge of the place and the real
estate man. I sold it to Robert Arnott. But, as I told you, I was
acting for another.”
“Didn’t you‘ know, Mr. Briggs, when, you sold the farm to William
A. Rockefeller and bought it from him again, that it was your father-
in-law ?” ‘
‘ WON’T TALK. BUSINESS.
“Really, six, you must excuse me from talking of business matters.
My Fm sae has forbidden me-to even think of business.”
hereafter Mr. Briggs talked entertainingly of the elevator he had
built in his home, the only elevator in a private house in Cleveland,
and of how handy it was for him and his invalid wife, but ;he would
say nothing more about -his _ father-in-law. a

Mr. Mayer says ‘of this incident:

when John D. Rockefeller was a young
man just starting in the oil business,
and that he knew Him very well... He
said that John D. came to him one day
and begged him to buy some Standard
Oil stock, but he refused. Young Rocke-
feller then begged him to lend him some
money on the stock. He did so and had
drawn dividends on it ever since.”

At one time Dr. Levingston had de-
posited for a year in the First Na-

his life in his shirt bosom. That dia-
mond was a conspicuous characterist-

health.
“Dr. ‘Levingston was the oldest man in Freeport, having reached his
ninety-sixth year. He was born in New York in 1810. He studied medi-
cine in New York and much of his life was spent in New York and
Pennsylvania, where he practiced medicine for many years. Having vis-
ited Illinois in 1857; he decided after the war to make the west his home,
and in the middle 603 he purchased a farm in Central Illinois, which he
improved and beautified to the fullest extent with suitable buildings,
with*hedge and shrub and tree. The place was ideal for one who loved,
as he did, the open air sports and recreation of shooting, fishing and the
like. He had lited in Freeport for the last 34 years.”
burial. But no request was ever made
for it, and today the grave is un-
marked. The widow, honorable and
Christian spirited in all things, will
naj place a lie upon his grave. «
His will was very brief. It simply
bequeathed all property to the widow,
Mrs. Margaret L. Allen Levingston.
Birth Date Undisputed.
It has been established by previous
investigators that William A. Rockefel-
ler was born Nov. 13, 1810. That has
&
been proven by family records not dis-
puted er denied by any member of the
Rockefeller. family. Upon the back of a
photograph of Dr. William Levingston,
sent by Mrs. Levingston to her friend,
Mrs. C. M. Currier of Maroa, Ill, shert-
ly after his death, is this inscription
in her own handwriting:
“Dr. Wiliam Levingston, born Nov.
1810; died May 11, 1906, aged 96 years
months 28 days.’’
Upon the back of a kodak picture of
which he improved and beautified to
the fullest extent with suitable build-
ings, with hedge and shrub and tree.
The place was ideal for one who
loved, as he did, the open air sports
and recreation of shooting, fishing
and the like. He had lived in Free-
port for the last 3% years.”
Deception Even in Death.
Mystery and deception even in the
notice of his death. Not a word there
of his farm or his farm life in North
Dakota, because there was to be found
the key to his life’s mystery.. A vague,
deceptive, brie’ netice of so long a
life, the wording chosen with careful
cunning to hide the secret of the man’s
double life. *

Visited Sons Secretly.
From his farm in North Daketa Dr.
William Levingston went occasionally
to visit his sons. These visits were
made secretly and were unknewn even
to his wife in Freeport. She never
knew until after his death that he had
ever visited his sons. The first of these
trips of which the Post-Dispatch has
knowledge was made 22 years ago. It
was to visit his son, Frank Rockefellcr,
on his fanth In Belvidere, Kan. The
manager of the Kansas ranch then, as
now, Was Herman Huber, an old Ger-
man who had worked years ago for
the Rockefellers in Ohio. .Huber said

This disposal of the guns is corrobo-
rated by other circumstances. In the
summer of 1906, after Dr. Levingston’s
death, Mr. Bidwe.., the banker of
Freeport, .asked mrs. Levingston what
became of the old man’s guns. She an-
swered: “He gave them away before
he died.”’
From another source of most positive
authenticity, which the Post-Dispatch is
not at liberty to reveal, it was learned
that the guns were given by the old
man to Frank Rockefeller shortly be-
fore he died. :
In the summer of 1902 Dr. Rockefeller,

ly half a century ago. The “Rocke-
feller reunion,” the- Strongville an-
cients call it, was kept strictly quiet.
The Cleveland newspapers were in the
dark, and only the invted guests were
in the secret.
All stories agree as to “Doc” Rocke-
feller’s appearance and behavior. at
this reunion.
He had grown immensely stout and
he told his old pals that “his feet
were bothering him.” But he was the
Same man. Profane, independent and
jovial, his wit was as keen as ever,
and he poured out stories old and new
until the Strongville men gréw tired
of laughing. :
When his old friends bade him good-
bye, however, they had learned abso-
lutely nothing of his life and had no
clew to his place of secret residence.
Only one of the. guests had the ceur-
age to put the question squarely. “Say,
‘Doc,’ where are you living now?"
And Reckefeller's answer, ‘emphasized
by a wink and a leer, was. typical of
the strange man.
“Well, my boy,” he replied, “I’ve becn
camping clese to a lake over there,”
pointing northwest with a sweep of his
ponderous arm, “and let me tell you
that the lake is check full of shirt-tail
swans, worth $ apiece in the New. York
market. It’s great.”
The ldke he spoke of Was I[revil's

near Park River. ,

“Defender of Corruption.”
‘We -attack only the corrupt men of
wealth, who find in the purchased
newspapers the most effective defender
of corruption.
‘‘The controlled. newspapers are usu-
ally and especially in the interest of
the Standard Ojl Trust and of certain
notorious railroad combinations, but
they also defend the individuals and
eorporations of great wealth that have
been guilty of wrongdoing.
“Tt is equally rarely that the men
responsible for wrongdoing themselves
speak. Normally they hire others to
do their bidding or find others who will
do it “without hire.”
Having thus prepared the way, the
President makes it plain which news-
pape+s he means in ‘‘appendix 2.’
This is a circular issued by the di-
rectors of the Standard Oiji Co.- to its
employes and stockholders. In this cir-
cular the directors start out by de-
fending the company and talking about
the “square deal’ to the extent of
four pages. The rest of the circular is
made up of extracts of newspapers to
the same effect. The President's only
purpose in annexing this circular to his
message-was to illustrate the foregoing
messages in his message.
The Newspapers Named.
The newspaper quotations are from
the following papers:
The New York Times (which is quoted
three times by the Standard Oil direct-
ors). The Brooklyn Eagle, the Pitts-
Kansas City at a boarding house at
1506 Olive street, fled too hurriedly to
leave their names when the house
caught fire at 9:30 o'clock last night.
They seized their haggage and. disap-
peared in the excitement, and up to
midnight had not returned.
Thg blaze, which was in the bathroom,
Was caused by an attempt to thaw a
frozen water pipe by burning paper
around it. The Ww occupants of the

DETECTIVE GOES TO BRING -
NAUGHTON FROM SOUTH
s.
Assistant House Clerk,
Indicted As Accessory
to Bribery, Tells New Orleans Police
He {s Not Guilty.
Application for a requisition for Dan-
iel E. Naughton, Assistant Clerk of the
House of Delegates, now under arrest
in New Orleans, following his indict-
ment as an accessory after the fact of
bribery, was maliled yesterday to Gov.
Folk for his signature. As s00n as
signed by Gov. Folk, the _ requisition
will be forwarded by mail to Gov. New-
ton Blanchard ef Louisiana, with the
request that Naughton be delivered into
the custody of Detective Patrick Cahill.
Detective Cahill, who has been detailed
to return Naughton to 8t. Louis, de-
parted for New Orleans at '&:10 o'clock
last evening, on an UHlinole Central
train. He is due to arrive in New Or-
leans at 2 p. m. today. oe
Special dispatches received by the
Post-Dispatch from New Orleans state
that seven summonses for Naughton’s
appearance before the gran’ jury were
found in his pocket when he was
searched at a pwlice station.
Seems to Be Worried.
Naughton declared that there was
nothing to the charge on which he was
indicted, but seemed to be worried. He
‘told the New Orleans police that he had)
intended to start for St. Louis last
night. He was willing to return, he
said, but at the same time inquired
concerning the methods of obtaining a
writ of habeas corpus in the courts of
Louisiana.
Naughton explained that when be left
. St. Louls he had a leave of absence
good until last Sunday, and that before
its expiration he obtained an extension
for 14 days. This was the renewal of
Naughton’s leave granted by Speaker
Conran and made the subject of a pro-
test by Delegate Dwight Davis at last
Tuesday's meeting of the House of Del.
egates. i
Since his disappearance front St. Louis
Naughton has been making a book at
the racetrack in New Orleans. One of
his friends has said that Naughton bas
received $10 a day for his services at
the racetrack.
City Pays His Salary.
He also will get: his salary—$is0—as
ossistant clerk of the House of Dete-
Saces for the month of January.
The indietment of Naughton was th
‘ast act of the December grrod jury.
Naughton is charged with being an ar-
cessory after the fact of bribery on the
part of Delegates Fred W. Priesmeyer
and Ferd Warner. The indictmerit was
not made public, but la caplas was is-
sued for Naughton.
It is probable that the indictment will
accuse Naughton of having received
from a person or persons unknown to
the grand jury the five $100 bills alleged
to have been paid to Delegate Pries-
meyer by Henry Ascher at the direction
of Delegate Warner, and that he in
turn gave them to Sam Weisman. a
tailor, of 1314 Olive street.
Naughton steadfastly refused to tell
either the October or December grand
jury where he got this money. His ex-
cuse has been that hig testimony on that
point might incriminate him.
His Word Is Taken.
Taking his word that his connection
with the money was criminal, the grand
jury, it is said, resolved to indict Naugh-
ton.
Naughton’s absence from 8t. Louis.
while he was in request as a witness
both before the grand jury and at the
trial of Priesmeyer and Warner, ts said
to have angered the grand jurors, who
were satisfied that Naughton’s knowl-
edge of various transactions in the
House of Delegates could have beeh
made the basis of additional indictments
if he could have been compelled to tes-
tify.
Circuit Attorney Sager has all along
been eager to have Naughton indicted,
but in his arguments to induce the
Court: to force-the witness to answer
questions he took the position that
Naughton, in transferring the $100 bills
to Sam Weisman, had not committed
any offense.
After reviewing the whole situation
carefully, the Circuit Attorney is said
to have found a peg on which to hang
‘an indictment:
Salary In Stowed Away.

His Activity for Taft Causes
Opposition to Reim-:
bursement.
By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-
Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—The activity
of Thomas J. Akins, Subtreasurer at St.
Louis, behalf of Secretary Taft's
presidential candidacy, is likely to cost
him $61,500. This is the amount of the
shortage in his office, which caused the
trial and acquittal of D. P: Dyer Jr., a
Subtreasury teller.
Senator Warner, who introduced a bill
at the beginning of the present session
to reimburse Mr. Akins for the shortage,
was informed by members of the Senate
Committee on Claims, to which the pill
was referred, that it probably would die
in the committee.
in
No Demand, They Say.
The Senator asked when the bill would
be reported. -He was told that there
seemed to be no demand for a report,
and members of the committee did no
see why one should be made, either
favorable or adverse to the measure.
News has reached Washington of Mr.
Akins’ speech at Lancaster, Mo., which
was followed by the election of two
Taft men as delegates to the National
Convention from the. First Missouri
Congressional District. Coupled with it
was the story that other Federal ap-
pointees in St. Louis, with the excep-
tion of Postmaster Wyman,
working for Mr. Taft.
Opportunity to Inquire.
The anti-Taft senators want to know
why this is allowed, in view of Presi.
dent Roosevelt's order forbidding his
appointees to take a hand in politics.
They look upon the Akins relief bill as
affording a good opportunity for an jn-
quiry and for that reason are holding
the bill in committee.
If there is any demand for its passage
they will make a counter demand for an
explanation of Mr. Akins’ Taft activity.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is Ia
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing To Try.
Nearly everybody knows that char-
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans-
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
| gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car-
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking; drinking or after eating on-
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and im-
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of tatarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
‘is in Stuart’s Charcoa] Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow, charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large pleasant tasting loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
noney.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
tion of the general health, better com-
plexion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is that no possi-
able harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but, on the contrary, great
benefit. :
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: “T ad-
vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to*clear the complexion
and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver is great.

Trimming of Young Loughery at Phil-
adelphia Makes Atlantic Folk Sit
Up—Coulon Clinehes Claim
to Bantam Title.
BY GEORGE SILER.
(The Veteran Referee.)
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.
HENEVER an Eastern boxer aspires to first-class pugilis-
tie honors it is taken for. granted by the Eastern press
and the Eastern followers of the game that he is the
goods, but when a Westerner aspires for the same honors, regard-
‘less of past performances, they want to be shown.
It is the same old story—a fighter, irrespective of his abilities
and his class A Western reputation, is not a fighter in their eycs
ainless he bears the New York or Eastern trademark.

‘pecial to the Post-Dispatch.
CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. L—If George Sut-
ton so wills it, Hoppe will have to play
for the title of 18.2 biliiard champion
the night after he finishes his 18.1 match
with Jake Schaefer, which wonld great-
ly handicap Hoppe, who would have no
opportunity for practice for the 18.2
geme.
This important point was brought to
the attenuon of the loca] critics today
after a careful reading of the rules,
which show that, according to their in-
terpretation, the regulations provide
that the games be piayed within sixty
days after the acceptance of the chal-
lenge.
‘Hoppe plays Schaefer first, and, as
he also took on Sutton at about the
same time he did Schaefer, this makes
it possible for Sutton to set the date
in close proximity to the Schaefer match
—the next day if he so-wishes. Wheth-
er or not he will taxe this advantage is
not known, but the local critics bring it
out ‘as a good point worthy of discus-
sion.
The next championsni games—that
between Schaefer and oppe at 18.1,
and the match of the 18.2 championship
between Sutton and Hoppe—undoubted-
lv will be played at Orchestra Hal] in
‘hicago. Hoppe challenged for both tit-
les before the eastern games were play-
ed and both Sutton and Schaefer have
covered his forfeits. As Schaefer was
the first to accept, he, according to the
rules, will have to play first.

Although both “Heine’’ Schlenk and
Julies Schmitt, the leaders in the indi-
ment, went down to defeat in matches
on the Palace al'eys yesterday after-
noon, no high scores were recorded. The
reason of the reversal in form shown
by some of the bowlers and the low
scores was that brand-new pins were
used, replacing those the men have
been shooting : sainst since the tourna-
ment opened.
George ‘Rudolph of the Palace team
did the unexpected when he registered
the high avgrage of the afternoon,
19093-7, and won four out of seven games
from Jules Schmitt, captain of the Pa}]-
ace five. Schmitt was not bowling in
form and made a number of errors on
single pins. Rudolph won the first, third,
fourth and sixth games, but lost the
fifth on the foll-off, after tieing at 17s.
Schmitt won the final game by four
pins, 208 to 206.
Sanders Also a Victor.
While Schmitt was losing on No. 5 and
6 alléys, Homer Sanders of thé De Soto
Stars was trimming ‘‘Heine’’ Schlenk
on No. 1 and 2 alleys. Sanders aver-
aged but 161 3-7 to Schlenk’s 169 4-7, but
won faur out of seven games, taking
the third, fourth, fifth and sixth games.
Schlenk, after starting off with a 201
game, dropped to 134 in his second.
Emil Masson shot against Gus
Schmitt on No. 1 and 2 alleys and won
five out fo seven games. Gus _ started
off like a sure winner, getting 193 pins
in the opening game, only to fall down
to 139 in the second. Masson won the
second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth
games. .
Martin Kern gave Billy Barron a
harder match than was expected, Rar-
ron winning four games. Barron start-
ed out well, taking the first three and
also the sixth game. Barron’s average
But eight of the 56 games rolled were
above the 200 mark, which is something
unusual for the individual tournament
In fact the scores recorded yesterday
were the poorest, taken as a whole, on
any day since the tournament opened.
Look for G Match,
Al. Jelligon and Charley Stokes, both
of the De Soto Stars, are expected to
furnish the best match on the De Soto
alieys this afternoon. Al! four matches
will be shot at brand-new pins and
small scores may also be expected
Schlenk still retains the lead in the
tournament, with Jules Schmitt second

If a guessing contest could be taken of the ball fans in all the
the circuit as to the probable finish in the league race this
season, it is safe to say that nine out of every ten would place
o in the first division and ‘an equal percentage
would shove Washington and Boston to the lower half.
But on St. Louis, Cleveland, New York and Philadelphia, the.
votes would very likely be about equal in placing these teams in the
first and second divisions. They are the four guesses of the race and
it would be hard to predict what any one of them will do.
Here in St. Louis we have it all fig-
ured out that if Dineen, Howell, Pelty
and Powell, the four leading twirlers,
can but keep in perfect. condition and
‘pitch something like the ball they have
in the past seasons, St. Louis is going
to be scrapping with the top clubs all
‘the way over the five months’ route.
In Cleveland they are figuring that if
Brad@ley, Turner, Lajoie and Flick can
- come back to old-time form and hit the
‘ball as they once did, the Naps will be
right at the top round of the ladder all
the time.
Down in New York the fans are see>

tories with Chesbro and Orth once more
the premier pitchers and Fred Glade, the
speedy one, formerly of the Browns,
winning about .900 per cent of his games,
while they imagine Niles’ batting about
.850 and: stealing fifty or sixty bases.
In Philadelphia they are all wondering
if Rube Waddell will return and fan
‘em out aS he formely did, which, with
the assured good pitching of “Eddie

EW YORK h: hasn't much but
hopes and the fans there will
find that out before the season
is six weeks gone. Philadelphia
looks too old and stiff and only phe-
nomenal pitching by Rube Waddell
will keep it on the surface.
But Cleveland slumped terribly last
fall and so far, it seems, Manager La
Joie has made no effort to strength-
en the team for the coming season.
The Cleveland bunch has been within
touching distance of the champion-
ship so long and always failed, that
now her players are likely to be hope-
less and indifferent it in their play.
O far things | have been giisten-
ing up in Chicago. Comiskey has
a splendid opportunity to walk
away with the pennant next season, but
he will have to have better control of
one or two of his pitchers to make
good. Both Nick Altrock and Frank
Owen threw him down last season, and
it cost him the pennant which might
have been’ won. very easily had the
faithful pitchers, Walsh, White and
Smith, had but a little help when their
overworked - arms played out.
-Detroit. will be watched more closely
than all of them next season. ‘There
has been a deal of winter s speculation
going on as tb whether “Wiid Bill’
Donovan will come back next season
and do such phenomenal pitching. He
may have one.more good year, but it
je 10 to 1 it will not. be as good as last.
There is also a lot of ‘talk about Ty

been firmly establishe He looks - like
the best thing that has hit the big
leagues in many seasons, but he has to
keep it up for at least one more sea-
‘gon beforé he can be declared such.
However, Detroit is not likely to tum-
ble badly next season. But when it
comes to winning the pennant there are
lot of fans who wouldn't bet a nickie
against a dollar en the Tigers.

The publication in last Sunday's

the New Zealand Rugby football ff-
teen to this city for a game while the
team is en route home via.San Fran-
cisco, has aroused much local interest.
Both the Post-Dispatch and oa
exander Murray have received many
letters from old Rugby players tend-
ering their services in case the game
is secured, Two men now residing in
St. Louts wrote that that they had op-
posed the “All-Blacks” on their tour
éf Great Britain and _ Ireland tww
years ago and claimed familiarity
with the Antipodeans’ style of play,
which swept, the best fifteens John
Bull had before them. in an unbroken

r. Murray has written A. H. Bask-
erville, the secretary of the New
Zealand club, of the suggestion for a
match aud pointing out the clemency
of the St. Louis winter weather which
would permit a Rugby game here,
whereas in Chicago it would be an im-
possibility in February.

not happened.
Sea Swell proved conclusively that
he is one of the stoutest hearted
youngsters racing here by winning
the opening dash, three and one-half
furlongs, the longest journey the ‘‘ba-
bies” have been asked to go since
Jan. 1. This fine colt by Cesarion had
frequently demonstrated in his early
races that he possessed endurance as
well as speed and he was therefore
selected by the holiday crowd of 9000
racegoers to carry the bulk -of the
money bet. He closed favorite at 6 to
5 after a slump in the odds from 8 to
5. The bets were never in danger, as
Sea Swell raced to the front from
the start, made Gloriole quit by main-
taining a fast pace and won by a
length. Gloriole showed great im-
provement and is rapidly rounding in-
to.form. She is a sister to ae get
and promises to develop into a goo
filly after she learns more about rac-
ing.
Glorifier Also Defeated.
Glorifier also met defeat. Like. his
sister he had to be content with sec-
ond honors. The big son of Hastings
was not at his best and showed so lit-
tle speed during the early part of
the struggle for the fifth race—a
Somdions at six furlongs—that Al
Muller, with his light weight of 90
pounds, obtained such a big advant-
age that he was able to stagger home
a winner. .

The Nome company was organized
early in 1907, under a South Dakota
charter, and has a capital stock of
$2,000,000. William Holmes, manager of
the New York Press, is president, and
John A. Kloepfer, head of the Hambure-
New York Water and Blectric Light Co..
is vice-president.
\ Water Rights Valuable.
The water rights owned by the com-
pany, acording to the prospectus, ‘‘con-
stitute 2700 miners’ inches with a nat-
ura] fall of .300 feet capable .of generat-
ing 2000 electric horsepower, thus ena-
bling us to“°operate six of these mon-
ster dredges on the property. The wa-
ter is an asset of great value in a
country where coal retails at $40 a ton,
“Each of these dredges wili cost in the
neighborhood of $120,000 installed on the
property, the first to be paid for out of
additional ones are to be paid for out
of one-half of the net clean-up of\gold
for each season; the other half going
to dividends until the full complement
of six dredges shall be working on the
property when the entire season’s pro-
fits will be distributed as dividends.”
The prospectus continues: ‘‘As the
open season in the Nome district
amounts to only four months each sum.
mer, or 120 days, and we allow 2% days
each season for clean-ups, repairs and
other stoppages, we count on 100 actual
working days of 24 hours each season.
‘The five additional dredges to be paid
for out of the profits would cost about
$600,000 and assuming for the sake of
most extreme conservatism that we
“would be compelled to replace outside
dredging equipment of six dredges ev-
ery 10 years and the cost in each in-
stance would be the same, we would
have to expend $720,000 at four different
tion to the original $600,000 for the five
dredges, making a total of $3,480,000 for
the sale of treasury stock and later
subsequent periods, or $2,880,000 in addi-
dredge out of stock sales to cover en-
tire working perioa of 44 years.
More Statistics.
“Again with a view toward cxtreme
conservatism by allowing 10 cents a
cubic yard for operating expenses in-
cluding all salaries, repairs and wages
Which is niost liberal in view of the
fact that similar operations are con-
ducted at the present time in Cali-
fornia at as low as 4% cents a cubic
yard and averaging about 5% cents
throughout the State, we would have
to pay $8,053,760 for operating ex-
penses covering the entire tract of
80,537,600 cubic yards, which together
ment would take $11,533,760 out of the
estimate in the gold values of $161,-
075,200, leaving actual net profits of
$149,541,440, or a return of more than
fifty times the entire capitalization’ of
the company.
“Deducting the entire capitalization
of $3,000,000 from this amount would
be sufficient to pay an average of 100
per cent annually for over 44 years to
every stockholder on par, with his
original investn.ent in his pocket.
“Considering that the steck is now
selling at 60 cents—per share this would
be equivalent to 200 per cent on the in-
vestment for over forty-four years to
conie. Having been extremely and un-
necessarily conservative in all compu-
tations for equipment and operating ex-
penses, etc., the only item we can cut
down for the sake of the ‘doubting
= is the gold deposit in the prop-
erty.
“So we will cut that {n half and in-
stead of $26 per cubic yard, which is a
low calculation, let us call it $13 per cu-
bic yard and we still have 50 per cent on
par for over forty-four years or 100 per
cent on the basis of 50-cents selling
price of stock after allowing for en-
tire capitalization out of profit in con-
nection with this.

Upon request we will furnish address.
A woman's health is a heritage too
sacred to be experimented with. For
her peculiar and delicate ailments only
medicines of known composition and
which contain no alcohol, narcotics, or
other harmful or habit-forming drugs
should be employed. The one medicine
which fulfills all these requirements is
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription—a
remedy with a record of over forty
years of cures to recommend it; a
remedy, the makers of which print its
formula on every bottle-wrapper and
attest its completeness and correctness
under oath, a remedy, every ingredi-
ent of which has received the written
endorsement of the most eminent med-
ical writers of all the several schools
of practice for the cure of woman’s
peculiar diseases; ‘a remedy’ which has
more bona-fide cures to its credit than
any other sold by druggists for wom-
an’s special requirements. It. is not
iven away in the form of “trial bot-
tles” to be experimented with, but is
sold at a fair price by all dealers in
medicines.
Delicate, weak, nervous women
should ny, shun the use of alco-
holic medicines which, from their stim-
ulat and exhilarating effects may
seem, for a time, to do good, but which
from the inevitable effects of the alco-
hol in shrinking up the red corpuscles
of the blood are sure to do great and
lasting? harm in the me run, Besides

“The Blood is the Life,”
Science has never gone beyond the
above simple statement of scripture.
But it has- illuminated that statement
and given it a meaning ever broaden-
ing with the increasing breadth: of
knowledge. When the blood is “bad”
or impure it is not alone the body
which suffers through disease. The
brain is also clouded, the mind and
judgment are affected, and many an
evil deed or thought may be directly
traced to the impurity of the blood.
Foul, impure blood can be made pure
by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med-
ical Discovery. It enriches and puri-
fies the blood, thereby curing pimples.
