East ST. Louis up to 10 a. m. The fitua
ton there is considered somewhat threat
ening. though no outbreak has occurred.
1890 p. NAT East St. Louis no seri-
Gus disturbance has as yet occurred, al.
though several attempts to start out
freight trains have been resisted by the
strikers. An Illinois & st. Louis railway
engineer was approached by a number Of
strikers, who requested the engineer t
desert his post. This he refused to do;
the men then killed the engine and
took it back to the round house. On the
Vandalia an attempt was made to make
up freight trains. but the engineer CON
piled with the request of the strikers and
the height train was abandoned. No OPP
position. however, was offered to the eff
forts Of the Wabash to resume freight
traffic, and it succeeded in sending out a
freight train. l d
General Superintendent Kerrigan, of
the Missouri Pacific, said this evening that
business was progressing favorably upon
the whole system. The full traffic was
not resumed, of course, but every day
showed an improvement. Fully $50
trains have been moved to-day on all the
lines. and there was less interference than
on any previous day. Men are applying
for work at many points. 1851

Debate over the Army Bill.

ta@ ~
ate to-day the bill to increase the e~fhcienc
of the army came up aud Mr.. Logan cor
tinued his remarks in its support. H
argued to show the necessity of an in
crease, and said that to imply any motiv
but q proper n for this bill was IN
worthy of debate. The time woul
come when the people would approx
the attempt now made to give eficienc.
to the army.
Mr. Teller believed he tMr. Logan ha,
commenced this debate with the assertion
that there was a combination of senator
here-at least hat was the way it was re
ported there was a combination of sena
tons to defeat the bill. He (Mr. Logan
insinuated at least in his speech that op
position came because the senator hac
reported the bill.
Mr.. Logan said he would repeat what
he had said, for the senator from Colo
RADIO had misquoted him. What he (Mr.
Logan had said was that the senator Fl ION
Maine (Mr. Hale) had received encourags
ment from other senators. That was the
language he had used and that was the
way it was reported, but he did not know
that the senator from Colorado had taken
it to himself, for he did not know that it
fitted.
Mr.. Teller said he understood the sena
tor (Mr. Logan) to say, and that was the
way it went to the country-of course that
was the fault OF the press-that there was
outside opposition. He understood il did
not refer to him (Mr. Teller or any mem
Der of this body, but referred to a gentle
man whom il was perhaps not worth while
to mention.
Mr.. Logan said if there was anything
on earth that would induce him to believe
that there was a desire on the part Of
some gentlemen in this senate to u a
bad feeling between persons it was the
very remark the senator had made now.
He (Mr. Logan had said no word. uttered
no word, in reference to any man outside
this chamber, nor did be insinuate what
the senator Mr.. Teller said. and that tha
senator ought to know il, and TO attempt
to have it go to the country that he (Mr.
Logan was attacking any man outside
the senate or in i, was unworthy of the
senator,
Mr.. Teller did not know what the sena-
tor had said. He knew what was in the

HELPING THE BLIND MAN.

On the shady side of a bill board, flush
with the sidewalk on Wabasha street, sits
blind man. The exact position of his legl
as he crosses them under him is not visibl,
to the members of the passing procession OF
pedestrians. He has hand organ in front
of him, and grinds away on the instrumen
from the time he is located there by
female attendant until she comes for him
later in the afternoon and escorts him t,
his hotel. He is a stranger in st. Paul.
He comes not to improve his health His
trip is not due to a desire Oh his part te
enjoy the lakes. He comes to make money.
and While here is stopping at Fourth
street hotel.
His blindness is not apparent. His eve
sockets are red and infamed, and shows at
glance that they do not appertain to ar
individual possessing the best of vision.
Then he has way of raising his sightless
eyes that is very successful in drawing
pieces of coin from the pockets of passen
by. Fearing that the pedestrians of St
Paul are not observing, he has had pre-
pared card which sets out the manner in
which he lost his eyeslght. This card oc.
eupies prominent place. 1t either hangi
from cord about his neck or is propped W
On the organ. He grihds the organ.
The passers-by look upon him with pitt
and doubt manifested OH their faces. Tn,
former adorns the faces OF the kind hearte;
people, who sympathize with the poor,
sightless mendicant. Doubt is pictured Out
on the faces OF the worldly-wise, the mer
who have seen a great deal of life and VIII,
have serious misgivngs that the musica
beggar Is not as much in need of money al
he would have 1t appear.
The former skirt along near the bill board
and as they pass drop nickel or a PENN
into the box that stands on the organ
They hardly look at the object of theiy
charity as they 90 along, and never loos
bank after they have deposited their con,
tribution.
The suspicious people, usually men, Iool
at the blind organgrinder from the tim,
they get within seeing distance until the,
have passed him. They take the middle OF
The sidewalk and apparently enjoy gazing
at without giving to the mendicant.

decreases i'll numbers. The blindmap's
day is over. His female friend comes after
him. Together they gather up his traps,
and he is led away.

A NEEDED JURY REFORM.

Among the barbaric features of early iu-
risprudence that are yet retained in modern
codes there is nOns more repugnant or more
senseless than that of locking I'D a iury
during the trial of q criminal case: The
only argument in favor of its retention is
that it is due to the prisoner, as well as to
the state, that no opportunities shall be
given for tampering with the iurymen.
This argument prevails and the
practices of the courts in this
regard seem to be based upon
the assumption that every man who serves
on jury is a rascal and that it is import
ant to keep him away from temptation.
Consequently during the trial of a crimina
case the court feels that it is its duty to
treat the juryman in the box with more
hardship than the prisoner at the bar. He
is locked up in close room at night just as
II he was felon, and allowed no COM
munication with the outside world.
1t makes no difference If the
trial last for six months, the juryman's
term of Imprisonment is just as long. This
is most disgraceful feature in our judicial
system and ought to be abolished. 1t ought
to to be taken for granted that juror can
be an honorable man. The court could
afford to put him on his honor. If hostile
armies can parole their prisoners and allow
them their personal liberty with no other
guarantee for the observance of the parole
than a soldiers word of honor, it does seem
that a judge on the bench would be
justified in taking the word of an honest
man who has the misfortune to be drawn as
juror IN a criminal case. The jurors who
are sitting in the trial of the Chicago an
archlsts are having harder time than the
prisoners. We are informed that some of

sPUNKY TEXAS.

The cautious course of the state depart
ment regarding the imprisonment in Mexico
of Editor CUTTING. a Texan and an Amer
lean citizen is exciting much indignation
in Mexico. This feeling is aggravated by
the arrogant and tantalizing attitude as
sumed by the Mexicans, who, much
to the Texans disgust, are disposed
to treat the demands for the release of CUT
TING with contempt. Texas and her neigh
Dor across the way are traditional enemies.
and the former is disposed to be extremely
intolerant of anything that savors of ag-
erosion on the part of the latter. Since
the general government seems indisposed to
compel by force of arms its request for
CUTT1NG's release, Texas purposes making
the affair her personal concern. The i'm
prisoned editor is one of her people and she
asserts her intention of protecting him.
These declarations are not to be lightly
considered, nor is the prospect of
trouble on the border as visionary
as it seems to be considered in
some quarters. Texas is more than
ready to hight. AS to her ability there is
no question. She demonstrated that in
the war of independence which she so sue
cesSfully Waged, and is only too willing to
give the MeXinans a repetition of that dis
agreeable experience, Texas, i'll spite OF
the many years which has elapsed, has by
no means forgotten the Alamo and
the heartless massacre of so many
of her brave sons. She would be
glad to prove to Mexico the eX-
ceilence of her memory. Mexico, on the
other hand. as far as the densely ignorant
masses of her people are concerned fancies
that she was victorious in the previous war
with the United States. and is confident that
she could easily overthrow this country in a
contest of arms. As for CUTTING himself,
he is pretty bad lot. That, however. is
foreign to the question. 1t is the principle
OF the thing that is being con-
tended for, and which Texas intends
seizing upon as all excuse for
teaching Mexico lesson she will long re-
member. In the massing of Mexican
troops upon the border, and the continued
seeming indifference of the national
authorities, she finds her opportunity.
While conflict between the two is to be
deprecated, there is little doubt but that it
would have an issue entirely in &C
cardance with Texas expectation. The
Southwestern cowboys let loose among the
''greasers" would create more havoc and
destruction than the traditional bull in a

MRS. NELLIE SARTORIS.

Although there has been a wonderful i'm
provement in American newspaper journal
ism within the last few years in freeing it
from sensational features, and particularly
that part which dealt with the domestic re-
lations of prominent individuals, still there
Is room for improvement in this respect.
A notable Illustration of the necessity of
still further reform in this direction is the
revamping of the story of the domestic i'll
felicities of Mrs. NELLIE SARTeRIs.
If the story were true, it has no
legitimate place in the newspapers, 1t
would have been misfortune enough for the
poor girl to have made an unhappy mar
rage without being subjected to the humiii-
alton Of having the history of her suffering
paraded before her country people. The
domestic relations, whether happy or UNI
happy. are not for public exposition. When
NELLIE GRANT married Mr.. SARToRIs, the
American people had no right to inquire
whether her choice was wise one or not.
1t was her own act and it was nobody
else's business, In some respects her mar
rage may have been disappointment to
our people. The only daughter of the
marry an American. BY her failure to do
SO she may have offended some of her
countrymen. Still that is no excuse for the
Indecent manner in which her name has
been made the subject of SO much public
gossip.
But the worst feature of it all is that the
stories which are told of her domestic infe-
lcties are absolutely without foundation.
Col. FRED GRANT has done his sister an
act of justice and at the same time set idle
gossip at rest by making public the an
nouncement that Mrs. SARToRIs is both
happy and comfortable in her English home.
Her husband is the only son of a wealthy
father and has an ample income. The
senior Mr.. SARToRIs is thoroughly devoted
to his American daughter. It is asserted
upon the authority of the elder SARToRIs.
as well as of the whole GRANT family.
that there has never been serious differ
ence between NELLIE and her husband.
They are coming over together next year to
spend the summer with Mrs GRANT at
Long Branch. Mrs. SARToRIs is very
much distressed by the cruel gossip about
her, and has been prevented from coming to
America this summer, as she intended, On
account of them. 1t was not convenient
for her husband to come, and lest her COM
Ing alone should open new field for gossip
about her family affairs, she has denied
herself the pleasure of summer with her
mother and brothers and amid the scenes of
her early maidenhood

SOMEBODY'S LITTLE DARLING.

little girl, a mere baby. walked I'D and
down in the lobby of the union depot. Not
over five years of age does she appear to be
as she strolles leisurely up and down the
long passage way and hugs her rag doll
baby more closely in her arms. Intent ON
her duties she sings lullaby to quiet hel
doll as she has been quieted in the DAYS
agone by her own mother. Unconscious OF
the attention which she is attracting she
trudges along on her self-imposed journey,
and, at the same fagstone, turns and 10
traces her steps.
All at once she looks up with scared
expression ON her face, and, forgetful OF
her duty of putting the doll to sleep. she
realizes the fact that she is alone Hug.
ging her doll she looks first into the ladies'
reception room and then into the room oc.
cupied by the men, and. not seeing hel
mother, begins to sob. Doll baby serves a.
a species of screen and a handkerchief as
she holds the play baby up to shield herself
from inspection and with it wipes the
binding tears from her eyes.
Want-er my mamma" sobbed the little
girl.
With this announcement a sense of heI
deSolailon comes over her, and she weeps
loud and long. Hatless she is. Ha
brown curly hair falls in tangled confusion
over her cheap and not over clean calica
dress. Her brown feet and legs are bare.
The crowd of waiting passengers soon circle
ABOUT the little child. each member of the
human circle having some suggestion ts
make as to the proper course to follow un-
der the circumstances. Within the circle.
as II afraid of the little baby, is a motherly
Old woman who kneels down and attempt.
to quiet the crying child. What's VOW
name?" asks the woman.
Baby" said the little thing between tws
OF her sobs for she had nestled down il
the strangers arms and is quiet. ''Sea
dolly" she exclaims, as she holds the di-
lapldated rag toy up for inspection.
One or two OF the most courageous of tn,
onlookers step within the circle and are fol-
lowed by others. They gather about the
child and brighten her into tears. The
most dlligent inquiry fails to develop heI
name or her parents.
She is a lost child. Candy and fruit are
bought for her. While eating her dainties

Informed OF the affair, and he Immediately

IS given. She is crying. The vehicle and
its occupants disappear from sight, and the

He stares quite languidly and says,

And winks, Perhaps tbs false
