-It l. always important that

THE REMEDY.
LIST The grand jury should

as are not tried 1t this term will

End No man ought to be in

BILE doubt of nIs guilt. There is a
prevailing impression in the pub
tic Tind that the grand jury have
and believe no witness except
one that testihes TO guIlt-a

lake. While it is true that you

HER LOST BOYS SPIRIT.
A Mother Thinks She Sees Her Drowned
Son In the Flesh.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, May 22.-The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of 6-year-old
Artie Grubert, who has not been seen since
last Friday, has not yet been fathomed. His
father, a waiter in the Sinclair House, has
given up his work, and all his time is given
now to finding his child, dead or alive.
Mrs. Grubert believes that she saw her
boys spirit on Friday evening. II was
sitting on the fire escape" said Mrs. Cru
bert, ITO give my baby a breath of fresh air.
It was about or 7:05 o'clock on Friday
evening, and long before began
to think about Artie's being out
too late. The knob Of the hall
door makes peculiar sound when it IS
turned. 1 thought heard it and looked
ND. neither saw nor heard the door open
or shut, but there right in front OF the d.
vision between the two doors, I saw him.
HE stood with his head down, as if ne
was ashamed of having been out so late.
sOh, you'll catch it, said. He did not
answer, but little girl on the next FIRE es-
cape spoke up: who are you
talking top she asked. oh, that
little rascal, Artie, answered.
He has been and lost his supper When
1 looked back Artie was gone. l know
now what it was. That was the time he
was drowned, and his spirit could not rest
until he came home"

The novelty had not yet worn of for the ma.

they were out en- masse to see the sights.
A bevy of little girls, pretty children, but
saucy, poorly clad and in rags, watched and
envied the fancy dresses. 'Take us in, mis-

SAYS THEY ARE CHUMPS.
ST. John Wakes Indignant About TeemeF
and His Backers.

ana HIS bHckers.
John A. st. John is evidently extremely
indignant at the collapse of the proposed
boat races between Jake Gaudaur and John
Teemer. Mr.. st. Johns opinion can best
be understood by using his own words In a
letter to the writer, dated Boston, yesterday he
said:
II thought Teemer would back down. This
business has prevented Gaudaur going to tho
coast and taking part in two large regattas, at
which he would have won at least 81, ,00O In
future Teemer will have to put up very large
forfeit in order to have me take notice of his
bluffs. His hackers are set of chumps; afraid
TO risk dollar"
This is exceedingly strong language for st
John to use, because his won't is to talk very
mildly about everybody and everything. How
ever, if, as he says. Gaudaur has been pre-
vented from earning $1,000 thus early in the
year by vaiulY expecting match with Teemer.
there probably is reason for little display of
temper. However. the non-making of the
match may not be entirely the fault of
TeemeT. There may be circumstances con-
nected with his case that handicaps him con-
siderably at present John Ritz, of Wheeling,
it is stated. has been writing to Boston
parties stating that he has been watching
Teeme row fol- some time past, and that the
latter is much below his form Of last year.
Ritz also goes on to say that Teemer has failed
to secure backing. There may be some truth
in the latter statement, but it is safe to say
that Ritz is not in position to say whether or
not Teemer has lost his form. 1t is true that
Teemer has not lately been in first-class condi-
tion, but he claims that be can row as well now
rs he ever did when not perfectly trained.
When in condition he expects he will be as
speedy as he ever was. However. the few sharp
and pointed words of Mr.. St John may prompt
Teemer and his hackers to come definitely to
the front aud make match
