St. Louis Correspondence.
ST.. Lou1s, April 2, 1859

ST. LOUIS, April z, 1903.
regular correspondence with the
Times is prevented, as Saturday, the day
set apart for this purpose, is the only one in
the week that does not afford ample time for
writing. An occasional correspondence is
all that can be promised in future.
The extension of the city limits is the
subject of greatest concern among the peo-
pie at this time. The excitement will reach
the climax by Monday, and it is hoped will
end with that day. The vote will then be
taken upon it by the people, and their de-
csion, of course, quietly acquiesced in.-
II is almost impossible to foretell what that
decision will be, but appearances seem to
be in favor Of the pro-eXtensionists. The
canvass for municipal officers is going OH
briskly. The Benton men have clean
Benton ticket, headed with John How for
Mayor. The Antics, as party, have re-
tired to the shades of private life. The
Wings have sold themselves for a mess of
pottagc, which il is probable they will not
get Instead of running a clean, old fash
Toned wing ticket, they have started o mon
grel, composed of Wings and Antics, Che
Wings largely preponderating,) under the
euphonious, and supposed-to-be-popular til
tic Of peoples Ticket" They deserve
defeat, for they gain nothing by the unholy
alliance, as the Antics would have voted
the Wing ticket anyhow, and they lose the
fair name and reputation they have hitherto
borne, by such incestuous concubinage.--
There are several worthy Wings on the
ticket, who are now holding city Offices; and
Mr.. Charles P. Choteau, the candidate for
Moyoralty, perhaps the best selection that
could have been made, after Mr.. Kennel,
is true Wing, and a most worthy gentle
man, yet it is thought he and his friends
must inevitably meet with defeat by per-
hitting their names to be used IN such {
connection.
The Erening .Ne,cs is the only Wing pa
per that has the boldness to oppose the coa-
lition ticket, and as a consequence receives
raking fires from the Republican and Intel
iigencer. The .NerS, by its independent
course, and answering fidelity 10 true
wing principles, is fast gaining favor with
the people, and is receiving an unusually
liberal patronage from the mercantile COM
munity, and others that do profitable ad-
vertising.
Business is brisk in almost every de-
partnent, and particularly in the dry goods
and grocery line.
The amusements are numerous and va
ried. Mr.. Hudson and Madam Anna Thil-
Ion are playing to delighted and overflow
ing houses at the 'Varieties.' Mad Thil-
lon is one of the most beautiful women ever
seen on the stage in the West. She capti-
Yates all hearts by her beauty, 10 say moth
ing of her charming singing and acting
Lola Montoz preceded her, but left in dis
gust, as she seemed not TO be appreciated
here. As an actress or daaSeaSe she is in
ierior TO almost any woman you will find on
the stage, who makes any pretcntions at all.
Her beauty will certainly never do her any
injury.
The day has been chilly and dreary, and
the rain is now pouring down-making it
altogether one of the most unpleasant days
we have had for weeks.
Yours, F.
