The first and greatest fall OF earthly mat

five coal mines in that vicinity had been
utterly destroyed. The strata OF limestone

Paris, Nov. 24.-(Copyrisht, 1900, by W. r.

The recent action of the Gould family in
securing control Of the Management of the
fortune of the Countess and in thus rem
dering the enjoyment thereof by herself
and her husband entirely dependent upon
the good will Of George Gould naturally
has had the effect of making the position
here Of Countess Anna exceedingly unpleaS-

1t therefore became incumbent upon the
Countess to make up her mind whether
she was going to throw in her lot with
her brothers and sisters or with her hIs-

of Leo XIII hangs literally by single

at any moment.
ALWAYS fragile in appearance, he has now
become so emaciated that he looks mere

but spends the greater part of his day ly-
ing upon a couch, and is unable to take or
retain any solid food. His regular hours

Old Orchard Residents Meet and
Take First Steps to Contest Su-
preme Courts Ruling.
THEY WILL RESIST TAXATION.
Webster Groves Officials Threat
ened With Prosecution Under
Injunction Issued by Judge
Hirzel.

Residents of Old Orchard. who are fight
ing the annexation of the village 10 "eD-
ster Groves met last night at Franke
Hall and took the first steps to contest the
decision of the Supreme Court. as 1t Is con-
strued by the city officials of Webster.
Citizens of Old Orchard claim that the
decision of the Supreme Court did not cover
the question of annexation; that it merely
confirmed the legality of Webster Groves's
charter ais fourth-class city. and that tho
.i,,rSs dictfon of the court did not extend 10
tne question of the city's right to annex
any territory. About 400 persons were pres
en-. and 800 new members were enrolled, and
s., 800 was raised to carry on the fight. The
Anti-Annexation League Of Old Orchard
promises to make much trouble for the city
officials OF Webster Groves.
Old Orchard Is fighting the annexation
because it deems Webster's taxes too heavy.
An effort Is being made by City Collector
Harrington to collect all taxes assessed
since the fight began in the courts. in 1897.
and. consequently, the amounts in each case
are considerable. Before the fight began
many residents. who are now on the side
OF anti-annexation, we're willing to pay
their taxes II the city of Webster Groves
would drop the three years assessments
when the annexation was in doubt. But by
lector Harrington was compelled to inform,
deltnquents that they would be sued In the
County Court if their taxes were not forth
coming.
In a speech last night to the members Of
! tho league C. S. Reber, who Is its attorney.
said that he had notified the officials of
cited for contempt before Judge Booth If
they persisted in filing suits for the collec-
ton of the taxes. Reber holds that as the
finally settled by the Supreme Court, the
injunction that was Issued against Web
ster Groves last year by Judge Hirzel, pro-
hibiting the bringing Of suit for unpaid
taxes, Is still in force
George Il. Lockwood. who is the largest
real estate owner in Old Orchard, also made
an address in the same tenor While the
primary reason for the fight Is taxes the
ants argue that geographical obstacles
make 1t impossible for sewer improvements
in Webster Groves to be of any benefit to
Old Orchard, and that police protection for
Old Orchard is not commensurate with that
of Webster.
J. .. Wilson presided last night with
john l.. Spanage as secretary and William
S. Spinicke treasurer. Mayor Fleming SAYS
that Webster Groves is not worrying. as
the only true construction which can be
placed on the decision Of the Supreme Court
settles the annexation question definitely
and finally. He points out that the large
taxpayers of the annexed district have paid
their assessments. AS the case Is settled
finally. Judge HirZel's injunction is no long
er in force and the city officials will file
their suit after the time-limit has expired

London, Nov. A-The forthcoming promo

General ever published in England.
He declares General Kitchener meditates
a reckless and ruthless determination of the

He believes the British officers and men
will not endure this, and that Kitchener will
stand revealed to this country as scourge
inexorable.
Mr.. Williams apologies to Satan for NEIL
tionng him In the same breath with
Kitchener, and maintains that the return of
several general officers and the removal Of
General Keify-kenny from BIoemfontein
confirms the suspicion that they would
have nothing to do with Kitchener's dirty
work"
It is almost needless to say that this BIT
