HOT WEATHER FRANKS.
Sensation Caused by the Appearance
of a Scantily Glad Woman
on the Streets.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-It was very
woman appeared at Eighth avenue
and Thirty eighth street in undress.
She was dressed like fashionable
young women at the seashore in sum-
mer, but she was also dressed like
fashionable young women at the
opera in winter. 1t seemed that this
young woman had been seeking re-
lief from the heat in cooling drinks.
Her hair hung ~disordered around her
shoulders, and she made several in
effectual attempts to kick holes in an
electric lamp high above her head.
Policeman Williamson of the Thirty
seventh Street Station made his way
through the crowd that had assembled.
He was much more embarrassed than
the young woman. Finally, the gall
liant officer took off his blouse and
wrapped it around her. Then some
one threw a skirt out of a window and
that was draped about her. At the
SldblOn- uOu5c lu1S uuCOhf C1ll1SAAd
young woman said she was Susan
Herman, 25 years old, of No. 446 West
Forty-second street. At Jefferson
Market Court officer Williamson said
she wore a pair of long black stock
ings when he arrested her. He was
not certain, but he thought she wore
a gold ring, too. Miss Herman was
fined $40 and advised to dress either
like the young women at the opera or
like the young women at the sea-
shore; but not like both at the same
time

BOONE COUNTY ELEVATOR.
1t Makes a 100000 Blaze at Column
bia-The Fire Incendiary.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, September 22.-
Columbia was visited by another de-
structive fire this morning. About G
O'Clock it was discovered that the
elevator of the Boone County Milling
and Elevator Company was on fire.
The fire company responded prompt
ly, but there al a strong breeze and
the building and contents we're total
ly destroyed. The building was erect
ed about 10 years ago at a cost OF
S25, 900, and at the time of burning
there were nearly 100000 bushels of
wheat in the bins. The loss, accord
ing to Manager William Johnson, will
be nearly s10O, 900, only partially COW
cred by insurance. The Boone Coun-
ty Milling and Elevator Company, of
which W. A. Bright is president, is a
solid concern, and it is probable that
the elevator will be rebuilt. The
Wabash Depot and the gas plan
caught fire, but prompt and heroi
work saved them and they were dam
aged only slightly. The fire was Q
incendiary origin. This was the thir'
attempt within the last year to burn
this building. The did no
have the good viii of the farmers, bu
it is believed that the fire was starteg
| by negroes out of work. Every effor
will be made to discover and punisl
the guilty parties.

BANKS TO AID.
They Will Turn S30,0OO,O 900 of Gold
Into the Treasury if Neces-
sity Requires.
From the BROOKLYN Eae

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-It can be
authoritatiyely stated to-day that al
though the Administration and the
Treasury Department have frequently
of late been disturbed on account of
the decrease of the gold reserve, the
outlook is at the present time much
more reassuring than it has been for
several weeks. This is not owing to
any unexpected increase in the gold
reserve, but from the fact that Assist
ant Secretary Curtis, who has been for
several days past in New York in close
consultation with a number of leading
bankers, has been assured by them
that should there be any sudden drain
on the reserve between now and Dec.
LIST they will come to the aid of the
Government and~heip it out if there
be any necessity for such action by
depositing either ten, twenty or even
thirty millions of gold in the Treasury,
if such a sum is required.
This offer comes from the principal
banks of the country in the money CEN
tres. 1t is this assurance that causes
a feeling of confidence in Administra-
ton circles to-day, and the announce
ment by officials of the Treasury De-
partment that Secretary Carlisle will
stand pat on his original line of policy
as outlined last week, namely, that
there shall be no further issue of bonds
until Congress meets. In his annual
report Secretary Carlisle win state
what the exact condition of our ma
tional finances is and will make such
suggestions as he thinks will remedy
the existing evils of our financial sys-

URGED TO KILL CHRISTIANS.
Imperial Decree Distributed by the
Order of the Emperor of China.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-The Times to-
morrow will print a dispatch from
Hong Kong which says that at the an
nual examinations in Canton thous-
ands of students were given copies OF
an imperial decree in which the doc
trines of the Christians were fiercely
condemned. The decree uses the fol-
lowing language:
"a stupid, black haired race is es-
tablishing sundry sects, and they re-
gard not their own lives, but pretend
to rise again as immortal lei and
women. They congregate, and, aban-
doning chastity, behave like obscene
birds and beasts. Faithful Confucians
must shoot and stone and behead
them without mercy.

SNOW IN THREE STATES.
The Northwest Blessed by a Bountiful
Fall of the Beautiful.

DENVER, CoLo., Sept. 2t.-For a
week Colorado has been sweltering
under heat Unusual for September,
but to-day there came a sudden
change, a chilling wind from the
northeast, sending down the temper
ature like a shot. Tonight after an
hour of rain, snow began falling, and
prospects are favorable for its contln-
uing all night. 1t is melting rapidly
even in the heart OF the city. This is
the earliest snow this vicinity has wit
messed for many years, and is the first
of the season.
Reports from throughout the north
ern half of the state tell a similar tale.
In the mountains the snowfall is very
heavy.
LEAD CITY, s. D., Sept. 21.-Rain
commenced falling at 6 O'Clock last
night which turned into snow within
two hours. The ground was covered
with several inches of snow this morn
ing, and at noon to-day it is showing
heavily, with no signs of abating. The
storm, although out of date, proves
very valuable, as it has extinguished
the forest fires which have been rag
ring for the past two weeks, destroy
ing millions of feet of valuable timber
on the limestone range, some fifteen
miles from here. 1t is growing colder,
and a blizzard will likely follow.
OMAHA, NEB., Sept. 21.-Tt is snow
ing throughout the Black Hills and
Northern Wyoming to-day, and the
snow has been coming all night. The
morning weather report to General
Manager Holdredge of the Burlington
shows that there is four inches of snow
at Sheridan, six at Parkman, n at
Gillette, one at Arvadia, one at Cor
NTH in Wyoming, one inch at Dead
wood, and it is still showing at this
point and at Billings, Custer Hill City,
Clairmont, crow Agency and ali along
the Burlington, West Sheridan and
Black Hills. It is cold at every sta
ton beyond and including Alliance,
Neb., from which reports are sent.
The Union Pacific reports nine inches
of snow at Rawlings and snow all
along the line west of Cheyenne. The
Nebraska agents report cool weather
and rain at every station. From this
it is believed that the cold wave will
come this way.

JONES AND PULITZER OUT.
The St. Louis Editor Appeals to the
Courts to Protect Him.

ST. LOUIS, September 21.-Editor @.
III. Jones to-day applied for an in
junction to Judge Wood, of the Cir
cult Court, restraining the directors
of the Pulitzer Publishing Company
from deposing him from control of
the Post Dispatch. 4 temporary in
junction was granted and hearing set
for September so.
One of those associated with the
management of the paper said this
afternoon: "Pulitzer owns five-sixths
of the stock of the Post Dispatch,
while a few shares are held each by
Florence White, Sam Williams and S.
s. Carvalho, who, with Colonel Jones,
form the Pulitzer Publishing Com
pany. When Col. Jones was put in
charge it was understood that he
would continue the policy of the Post
Dispatch as in the past. Much to Mr..
Pulitzer's surprise, the traditions of
the paper were thrown to the winds
and Colonel Jones made it the organ
vi a A0Sb1ohs 11l5tCSkN VI pClhs DCIio-
cratic, it was made the mouthpiece of
the silver wing of the party. Besides
this, Colonel Jones inaugurated an
editorial crusade against his personal
enemies and became the ally of Gov.
Stone in the construction of a political
machine to dominate the party in st.
Louis and the entire State. Yester-
day Mr.. Carvalho, who is Mr.. Pulit-
zer's personal representative On the
World, came to st. Louis. He called
on Colonel Jones and told him that
the policy of the paper must be
changed. Jones refused to comply.
A conference issued between White,
Carvalho and Williams and it was de-
cided to displace Jones as editor OF
the paper. Jones became appraised OF
the plan to GUST him and went into
court with his prayer for injunction.
Judge Wood, who granted the order,
is an appointee of Governor Stone,
who is in town and who is Jones
closest friend"
In his petition Editor Jones states
that in January, 1895, he entered into
an agreement with Pulitzer by which
he bought a one-sixth interest in the
Post Dispatch for $4,000 cash, and
was given full control of the paper
under contract for five years at S10,-
900 a year salary. Jones claims that
Pulitzer made a verbal agreement
that he would cause to be elected a
board of directors composed of Jones
and a man to be selected by him, two
men to be selected by Pulitzer and a
fifth to be a responsible citizen agreed
upon by the others. He also verbally
agreed, Jones claims, to have bylaws
made by the directors to harmonic
with the written contract. But in
stead Pulitzer caused to be elected
the present directors, all of whom.
Jones excepted, are P~ulitzer's EN-
ployes and dependents. And fur
ther, instead of framing bylaws to
harmonic with the contract the di-
rectors adopted a bylaw which vir-
tually annulled the contract between
Jones and Pulitzer.
1t is upon this bylaw that the di-
rectors will stand in their effort to
GUST Jones, while Jones relies upon
his contract to hold control of the pa
per.

ST. JOHNS, N. r., Sept. 23.-Full de-
tails of the dreadful sufferinga of
Peary, Lee and Hanson are now be-
coming public.
1t is a cause for wonder how they
survived. No other case is known
where Arctic explorers deliberately
took their lives in their hands and
ventured upon a most exacting enter
prise with a full knowledge that their
supply of food was insufficient and
that they would probably perish in the
attempt.
Peary's disappointment over the un-
satisfactory termination of the expe-
dition is unconcealed, but all admit
that he is not responsible for the fail
ure.
No human being conld have done
more to make the expedition a sue
cess.
Had he had more men, or eve suf-
ficient provisions, he would have ac-
complished much. All the members
of the expedition leave for New York
by the steamer Sylvia from here next
Thursday.
