DR. TYLER'S LECTURE.
A Large Audience Were Delighted by His Handsome Men and Beautiful Women"

Rev. pr. r. J. Tyler was greeted by good audience at the Cumberland Presby- terian church last night and his lecture on "Handsome Men and Beautiful Women" was very happily received. pr. Tyler Is recognized among the most entertaining lecturers on the platform and his ready Wit and pleasing manner never fail to cap- ture his audiences.
 The human family, said the speaker is divided into four distinct classes-men, gem tlemen, dudes and other animals. There is vast difference between a human being and man. It requires something more than 200 pounds of bone, muscle and blood to make a man. however symmetricaly ar ranged. It takes three things to make 0 mana pure heart, a clear head and sound body.
 over the door of a Mississippi college there Is a. very suggested motto, Wanted, q Man" You can buy dudes at 10 cents per bunch, large punches at that, while men are priced beyond rubies.
 The word man" means
 1. The upright animal-uprlght physically, mentally, religiously.
 2. It means the finishing animal, Jehovahs masterpiece in creation.
 g. The animal finished at the top. Tho dude is finished at the bottom. His brains what little he has-is In his feet. All dudes and dudines dance, because their brains are in their feet.
 f. The animal with a beautiful face. The face Is the play ground of the soul
 .. The animal that feeds from above,
 6. The animal that thinks.
 z. The animal that builds character.

SITUATION AT ST. LOUIS.
'William Hartigan of Birmingham Is Among the Missng'-Awful 0estitution
 Across the River

St. Louis, June 2.-The lower house of the municipal assembly today passed the bill appropriating $1OO,OOO for the relief of the tornado sufferers. The general fund footing tonight is $129,OOO.
 Mayor Walbridge has not refused to accept moneys sent from outside cities and has turned $15,O00 thus secured over to the relief committee. The mayor, how ever, believes that St. Louis should be equal to the task of caring for the af- fficted.
 The individuals of the police force who were not sufferers from the storm have each contributed one days pay to the general fund.
 The St. Louis Fair association turned into the fund the net profits of yester- days racing, about $500.
 James Campbell, Dan Catlin, w. J. Lemp, Charles Parsons and other capital ists today took initial steps to raise $250,- 900 to lend to tornado sufferers at low rates of interest to rebuild their homes. No interest will be charged for twelve months. At the Monday club $35, 900 was raised today for this purpose.
 All indications go to show that William Hartigan, wealthy iron miner of Bir- mingham, Ala, is beneath the debris of wrecked building. Hartigan, who owned several mines and large furnace near Birmingham. Ala, came to St. Louis two days before the tornado to purchase machinery. Wednesday he went to the fair grounds. Since then nothing has been seen of him.
 The sun shone but ten minutes today and frequent showers and falling temper ature kept the strain of misery among the unfortunates At all the relief sta tions long lines of men and women stood waiting for their turn to receive the daily allotment of food
 The county supervisors in East St. Louis, In response to an appeal from the city council, today voted an appropria- tion of $25,000 to relieve the immediate suffering
 Destitution in St. Louis is hourly in creasing. The ladies' relief committee made tour of the territory today and reported seventy families absolutely homeless and destitute. Twenty-Five hundred people were breakfasted by the committee today. One hundred families who found homes in freight cars, were tee of islanders made an appeal to Mayor Bader for tents. He immediately tele- graphed the governor for 100 canvases Those about to move made rush for the suburb of Denver side, where seventy tents are standing. The militia were compelled to drive back many of the new corners to prevent a panic
 The fight for the necessaries of life is desperate one. The relief committees are having a hard time controlling the poor and making equal distributions.
 At present they are expendlng about 5000 a day. for food, clothing and cots They need $500 day more, but the oap- ital is limited.

TOYS Worth HAVING

Boys and girls who are hidden to be
careful Of their toys may find some COM
fort in knowing that it was Just that
way with the little Greeks ages and ages
ago Learned men have thought the his
tory Of children's toys worth studying,
and they say that the Greek children
were made TO keep their toys very care
fully, and many of them Were not only
pretty but valuable. They We're put into
baskets specially made and kept for
them and were considered to be under
the protection of Bacchus, unless they
were particularly dedicated 10 some 9TH
er deity. This dedication generally took
place, with the aid of many ceremonies,
on the marriage of its owner.
In an old Greek play the possession Of
one Of these baskets of toys enables the
young girl Palnstra to establish her
identity. She was kidnapped when a
child, with her basket, which she care
fully preserved and when she was grown
up she came across her parents. and on
examining her toys they recognized their
daughter. Among these treasures of
childhood was little golden sword en-
graved with her fathers name. a little
golden AK engraved with her mothers
name. a small silver sickle, two clasped
hands, small pig and a golden pendant.
