WE learn through dispatch from
Washington to the Post-Dispatch of
last Monday, that Hon. John II. Raney
will refuse to be a candidate for re-
nomination. He is preparing a letter
to be addressed to the Republicans OF
the district, in which he positively de-
clines to run again, declaring that he
prefers his law practice in Missouri to
q seat in the halls of Congress. There
will be plenty of aspirants for the
place he fills, but we warn them one
and all that such an accident as that
which landed the Hon. Jno. H. in
Washington occurs but once in life
time,

The New York San, with typical
Eastern insolence, presumes to let
loose its shafts of effete sarcasm at the
head of Misscuri's Greatest Boss. Let
the San beware! The day may come
when its ample columns shall be del
uged with Uncle Filley's onliest
Tariff speech-profound, classic and
statistic-couched in that English pc
euliar to his original brain, and which
no lesser light dares attempt to pla-
giarize or assimilate. Mark the strain
of helpless envy which, like the lean
in good breakfast bacon, streaks the
following paragraph:
The Hon. Chauncey Ives Filley is
not without honor in his own country.
The st. Louis Republicans have decid-
ed to build an auditorium for him and
for his pre-Noachian hat, of which
Iron Mountain is a reduced facsimile,
and for the National Convention. The
Exposition building has seats for 49,
600 persons, but there is no room in
it, or at least no sufficient accommo-
dation in it. for Mr.. Filley and his hat.
The acoustic properties were deemed
insufficient. and it was feared that the
hat could not be heard. So a more
stately mansion is to be built for the
great Missouri statesman. where he
and his hat and his hopes can be suit
ably housed. Meanwhile the great
man sits in the shadow of lone medi-
tation, and tries to find out whether he
is really for Mckinley permanently or
not, or for himself, and whether the
Senate, the Cabinet, or the White
House would be most becoming to his
style of beauty.

of this paper, as a good Democrat, has
always been willing to abide the de-

sembled; but to be told beforehand thai
the set purpose of that convention i:

think like him out of the Democratic
organization, is, we submit, just a lit
tie too tough!

womanly health then it is pretty safe to
say she will be a healthy, attractive,
beautiful woman
The beginning of xomanhood is the
real crisis in won,a1's life. Nearly
always something is wrong then in the
distinctly feminine organs. Maybe it
isn't very serious-no matter-the time

Charles Andrexv Johnson.

On February 3, at New Orleans, La, after q brief illness, Charles Andrew Johnson died at the age of seventy eight years.
 MT. Johnson was born at the Johnson homestead on Chapel street, opposite the old state house, January 20, ISIS. His parents were Ebenezer Johnson and Sarah Law Johnson. He was thus di- rectly descended from Dr. Samuel An drew, one of the founders of Yale col lege and it's second president, whose name he bore; also from John Punder- son, Governors Treat and Law of Con- necticut and Arnold of Rhode Island, and numerous other distinguished colo nial personages.
 He took his degree at Yale with the famous class of 1897, attaining the dis tinction of class orator. Among his classmates were William M. Evarts, Chief Justice Waite, Samuel J. Tilden, Edwards Pierrepont and others of note.
 After pursuing legal studies at the Yale Law school he joined his brother, Sidney Law Johnson, in the practice of law at New Orleans and followed his profession there with much credit and success until 1874. Retiring in that year from active pursuits, after reaching an eminent position at the bar, he devoted his leisure chiefly to historical and gen. ealogical researches.
 He resided continuously in New Or leans from 1S40 until his death, but spent several years at various intervals in European travel He was never mar ried.
 Mir. Johnson was man of sterling in- tegrity, sound judgment and striking in- tellectual force. With these qualities were happily combined marked elegance and geniality of nature and manner that strongly attracted all who met him. On no one more justly could be best lowed the name of gentleman in it's highest sense, as resting on virtue, at tainments, accomplishments generosity and chivalrous courtesy.

wnArHERED THE sroRM.
The Tow of Four Barges of the Tug Soul
 All Safa-A Terrible Experience.

The Tow of Four Barges of the Tug Scully
 All Safa-A Terrible Experience.
 All of the tow barges of the tug Scully of the Empire Transportation company which were broken up off Black Point during the storm Thursday morning, have been accounted for. The tow consisted of the barges Wamsutta, City of Norwich, Cactus and Eleanor, hav- ing been brought from Philadelphia, having started from there last We'd nesday. The barge Eleanor is now ly- ing in the harbor just inside the break water, having been brought in by the tug Colonel John Gaynor. The Gaynor carries stone to the hreakwater and ear- ly yesterday morning sighted the Eleanor and went to her assistance On the barge were her captain, William Corson, and two seamen by the name of Reed and Hoppin, all of Tottenville Captain Corson said that the storm was one of the severest he had ever weathered and that he never cared to go through the experience again.
 The Scully lost her rudder at about 2 o'clock yesterday morning and the barges were then left to shift for them selves. They all attempted to set sail, but most of the sails were torn loose by the powerful wind as soon as they were hoisted. Those on the Eleanor, however, held fast and carried the boat to Branford Beacon, where she cast anchor and was in no particular dan ger. She is staunch boat and was formerly a steamer on the Maine coast trade. Her capacity is 1 400 tons of coal and her cargo during the storm was 1,226 tons. It was stated positively last night that the other three barges of the tow were reported safe at anchor near the Cornfeld Light.
 The violent storm Thursday did not damage the oyster beds along the coast as much as was feared. The storm was at it's worst during the rising tide and this favored the beds. Yesterday the water was so rough the oystermen could not make a careful examination, but to-day the exact condition of things will be learned.

ADDR ESS TO TEACHERS.
Dr. Nicholas M. Butler at United Church
 Last Evening.

Last Evening.
 Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of New York, professor of philosophy and peda- gogy in Columbia college, delivered an address on "Individualism in Educa- ton" to a large audience composed mostly of teachers at the United church last evening. The lecture was under the auspices of the teachers of the pub lie schools of New Haven Dr. Butler gave detailed history of education and methods used in education and said that it is extremely important that teachers be in touch with the spirit of the age in which they live. There is no greater mistake than that in the idea that our country is the youngest in the world in civilization. We can draw upon all which history tells of as a part of our civilization. History gives the third division to knowledge. If de- prived of history, we would lose the depth of knowledge, and have left only the length and breadth. By the study of history we lead back away from the present system to the elements which brought the present system into being.
 Historic continuity is a. part of our institutionaiism. Our tendency has been to develop a great framework of eductaion and too often to regard the matter as subordinate to the shell. We must not make too much of individual ism. This has not been done as yet, but we are just beginning to turn from the other extreme and there is danger of turning too far.

VIII GO Out Of EXfstence-A H3 4nusOme
 Clubhouse.
 The West Side club has decide to dis band. This is the result of a vote taken a short time ago. The club, it has been rumored, was divided against itself. The dissension arose from a movement by several members who wished to in troduce innovations. This has been de- nied by a member of the club, who says that the reason for disband.ing is that the club has gone too deep and set a pace which it cannot keep up. It will go out of "debt and existence" at the same time.
 The club was formed three years ago and had on it's membership roll some of the most prominent citizens of that sec- tion of the city. Most eff the members were residents of the Fourth ward.

Fought for the Union,

Captain Clarence O'Neil of the barge Andrew Jackson of Bath, Me. which is unloading coal in this port, is a cousin of Captain Semmes, commander of the Confederate cruiser Alabama, which de- stroyed so many American ships dur ing the civil war. Captain O'Neil, though Georgian by birth, is a north ern sympathizer and carries a 32-calibre bullet in his right leg for defending the course taken by the northern states in debate few years ago. He was forced to follow the sea after the war, which destroyed his fathers fortune, and later enlisted in Uncle ESam's navy and was assigned to the Kearsarge, which proved such match for Cap tain Semmes' cruiser. He was forbid den entrance to his relatives home when he took that step.
