STRUCK A FORTUNE.
A Newspaper Carrier Whe
Won $4,000.

In a neat little brick cottage, az
No. 3407 LaSalle street, there resides
the nappiest and snuggest little family
uf Germans that could be found in
many a miles hunt. 1t is the home
of Charles Meinhardt, his wife and
little 3.year-old daughter. Only q
few months ago, Mr.. Meiphardt was
in tolerably fair circumstances, now
he is what may be called the Jay
Gould of West st. Louis. In short,
at the last drawing of the Louisiana
State Lottery he held tenth part
of the number 81, S35, which drew
the capital prize of 100000. A
Star-SayiDgs reporter called at the
residence of Mr.. Meinhardt this
morning. Mr.. Meinhardt was out
ON some speculation, but his wife
met the reporter and said 1--WE are
now very happy family. We Won
$50, 600 and got every cent Of it q
few days ago. 1t was a very lucky
thing, and we have only been playing
the lottery for about four. months. !

extent. / would like to see some
body else do as well as we. We In
tend to play little every now and
then"
Two other gentlemen of this city
held one-twentieth tickets and each
drew SIS, 900, one through the La
fayette and the other through the
Fourth National Bank. Besides the
above luck of St. Louisans, there are
any number of people holding num-
bers for smaller prizes. The heaviest
winners at this drawing were all In
pretty fair circumstances, and now
that they have acquired sudden
wealth, intend to have pretty good
time out of it. Two of them are in
vesting in real estate in the West
End. Mr.. Meinhardt, while still
papers, is contemplating a
trip to the old country with his
family. Louis (Mo.) Star-Say-

les finished their bridal tour in good
shape.
A few months after the wedding
one of the couples removed to Fort
Wayne, while the other settled down
in their old home. In due time both
families were increased in the usual
way, but there was an uncomfortable
suspicion lurking in the minds of both
husbands and the features of the new
corners were scanned with greatest
care and conclusion reached In each
case not very satisfactory to the wives
as well as husbands. The fathers
took an unaccountable dislike to the
little ones which was resented by the
mothers and finally caused both
couples to seek a separation in the
divorce courts. For a year or so after
the divorces, which were obtained at
Fort Wayne and Warsaw
about the same time,
none of the parties met, but in some
unaccountabIe manner, the fathers
were drawn to their own, which
finally resulted in remarriags of
both couples, involving change of
husbands. The last couple were
married at Fort Wayne last week,
while the other couple were married
at Warsaw several months ago. As
the familias are now reorgsnized, the
wives as well as husbands are at last
contented and the romance has
happy ending.

"One day after scores of delegations
of old soldiers had poured in on Gen.

A few evenings ago a gentleman
from Jefferson City registered at one
OF the hotels here and was assigned to
a room. He had evidently been
looking upon the wine when it was
red. Retiring to his room, he slumber-
ed soundly until 6 a, M, when he
arose and proceeded to dress himself.
He had arrayed himself in socks, gal.
tiers, coat, vest, shirt and collar, when
all at once he discovered tina: he was
short of his one pair oftrousers, which
contained his hoardinrs for months of
hard work.
His door opened, and a howl went
through the hall, waking all the other
guests from an early morning nap,
and demand to see every one con-
nected with the hotel, from the pro-
prIetor to the cook, was made known
in stentorian tones, Gentlemen in
frilled night shirts poked their heads
through half-opened doorways and
asked the cause of the hubbu5, only
to learn that some thief had stolen the
lodgers garments, with all their con-
tents, anu that the wearer was left
destitute.
An investigation by the hotel pro-
prietor and a policeman followed, with
the result that the trousers, with
their store of wealth, were found un-
der the mattress of the bed, where the
convivial gentleman had carefully
placed them for safe keeping before
resting for the night.
Bill Nye in one of his quaint let
tiers to an appreciative public, tells a
bald headed man that the way to
comb his hair is to commence at the
shoulder blades and gradually work
up. Bills advice is good enough, but
In case the man hasn't even hair at
the summit of his shoulder blades,
how is he going to proceed ? 1t ap-
pears to the Prowler, that special ad-
vice ought to be given to special PEG.
pie. In connection with bald heads,
here is a chestnut which is said to
have been fresh thirteen hundred
years ago." A wittol, a barber and
a bald-headed man travelled together.
Losing their way, they were forced
to sleep in the open air; and to avert
danger, it was agreed to keep watch
by turns. The lot fell first on the
barber, who for amusement, shaved
the FOOLS head while he slept he then
woke him, and the fool, raising his
hand to scratch his head, exclaimed
"Here's a pretty mistake (! Rascal,
you have walked the bald headed man
instead of me-"

ROME, October 15-At banquet given
Prime Minister Criepi at Palermo last
night, he made lengthy speech, in
which he declared that it was necessary
to combat all persons, high or low, seek
ing to undermine the political edifice OF
Italy. The temporal power Of the Pope,
although it has existed for centuries,
has been only transition period. Rome
existed before it and could continue tc
exist without it. Complaints or threats
either from at home or abroad, would
have no effect. He declared unassailable
the utterance of King Humbert that
Rome forms en- integral part Of Italy
| just as law forms part of the modern
world. After asserting that the Pope
possessed perfect religious liberty and
was only restrained, and less harshly
than in other Catholic States, from en-
croaching upon the sphere of reason
Crispi exclaimed: "Let the church
now free, endeavor to brighten Prone
theus with the thunderbolts of heaven
Oar task is to fight in the cause o
reason.o

Nor content with the advantages
which they have fairly obtained in the
elections in the new States, the local
Republican managers have arranged q
programme for stealing two United
States Senators in Montana. This is to
be accomplished by throwing out pre-.
cincts in which the Democrats had ma
jorities on allegations of trifling tech.
nical defects, the principal being that
three election judges sat when there
should have been FIVE, which would not
seem to be q very material matter if the
votes cast were legal and represented the
convictions and purposes Of those who
cast them. 1t remains to be seen
whether the Republican majority of
the United States Senate will stand
in with such desperate political game
sters. The chances of fair play are much
better than usual, because the Republi.
cans in any event will have fair work.
ing majority in that body. Sagacious
Republicans know that their party would
be handicapped for ages in Montana if
such bull-dozing tactics were successful.
The conspirators have not gone to the
extent Of invalidating the election of
Governor Toole, knowing that they
would encounter in that gentleman a
stalwart who would bring their plans to
naught.

Senator Sherman spoke ct length in
response to the toast, "The Congress oil

said they were bound by ties that would
grow stronger as time went on. If this

United States had no desire to acquire
the territory of any other nation in
America, but we want them to secure
themselves in their autonomy and pre-.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
An Exciting Discussion on the
L1turgiCal ReVisiOn.

New YORK, October 15.-In the Epis-
copal Convention today the Committee
on Canons were discharged after the
adoption of their report, recommending
the establishment of Board of Regents
on Christian Education. The report of
the Committee on Amendments to the
Constitution was placed on the
calendar and the committee dis.
charged. A resolution was passed
requesting Congress to pass q strin-
gent and uniform divorce law for
the District of Columbia and the Terri
tories. DIR. Huntington then spoke on
the subject of the minority report on
Liturgical revision, criticizing the report
severely. An animal debate, pro and
con, ensued, in the course OF which Rev.
DR.. Holland, of Missouri, told the
convention that no church could tell him
what prayers to offer in the privacy of
his family, and he protested against
making crazy quilt out of the prayer
book. DR.. Phillip Brooks argued strongly
in favor of revision. Finally, after
about five hours debate, vote was
taken. The minority report was lost and
the report of the majority will come up
for consideration tomorrow.

ATLANTA, Ga, October 15.-The Con-
stitution's special correspondent sends
the following facts regarding the affray
at Dothen, Alabama: The farmers Al
lance OF Henry county established q
warehouse at Dothen. The town author
tiles endeavored to collect license ices
from their drays. To test the law,
George Stringer, manager of the
warehouse, drove dray himself yester-
day, and was arrested. The Alliance men
attended his trial in force, and B.
Stringer, relative of George, quarreled
with the marshal and fourished knife
in his face. This started the trouble. A
fusillade of shots followed, during which
George Stringer and jeff Walker OF the
Alliance forces fell dead, and Peter lew,
Green Stringer and B. Stringer were
seriously wounded. Marshal Domingoes,
Deputy Marshal Powell and towneman
named w. B. Craddock, were mortslly
wounded. The terror which reigned
during the remainder of the day was in
describable, and renewal of the fight
was looked for last night, but all is now
quiet. The farmers claim that the
townspeople trested them wrongfully and
that a riot was inevitable under the
proyocation given.
