with Terrible Effect,

st. Louis, May 30.-In q rioting
sense the latest developments were
the worst experienced since the strike
on the lines of the st. Louis Transit
company was inauguarated, over three
weeks ago. The rioting was confined
Entirely to four places in the southern
section of the city, and by night fall
the police records showed that fully a
dozen persons had either received bull
let wounds or been hurt by flying mis-
siles. Three Of those hit by bullets re-
ceived mortal wounds, and that no one
was killed outright seems miraculous
considering the great number Of shots
exchanged between the employees OF
the company, the strike sympathizers
and the strikers themselves.
Names of PRISONS Wounded.
Following are the persons fatally
and otherwise hurt: Herman Pestchke,
shot in back, fatal; Jonn Z. Rice, shot
through the chest, fatal; II. ii. Still
son, Cleveland, o., shot through the
chest, fatal; John McCalley, shot in

John Decker, shot in left thigh; Frank
Yeager, shot in hand; Martin Burke,
shot in left hip. A number of others
suffered injury from missiles thrown
and in other ways incidental to the
riotous developments of the day.
Two Hundred Shots Exchanged.
ThewOrst Of the riotous disturbances
occurred near the intersection of Cali
fornia avenue and Keokuk street. In
this ARRAY n non-union motorman and
another employee on car Of the Tran

shot. The battle while il ragged was
fierce and, i'll view of the large num-
Der Of shots fed, estimated ut 200, 1t Is

injured. As the car approached the

Protection of Americans.

So far all measures taken by the
state department look to the simple
protection of the American legation ut
Pekin, the American consulates In the
immediate vicinity, and the lives OF
such Americans as may be obliged to
take refuge therein, in the event of
general rioting. The state department
is closely adhering to the practice it
has always observed of non-interfer-
ence in these Chinese disturbances,
and it is not contemplated that our
naval forces shall take any part in
the contest between the Chinese gov
eminent and the Boxers" though It
is assumed that Rear Admiral Remey,
the communicating of the Asatic
station, will take immediate steps to
supply Rear Admiral Kempff, the SEN
Tor squadron commander, with such
naval force as he may need for safe
guarding American interests ut the
treaty ports.

Only Two Courses Open.

There are probably only two courses
to reach Pekin-a long overland march
through hostile country away from
supports. or a tedious voyage up the
swift and shallow Pei-Ho in shore
boats in tow of steam launches. Ac
cording to report the Chinese govern
ment has done everything in its power
to meet the demands of the diplomatic
body at Pekin for the dispersion of the
Boxers" but 1t appears that the up,
rising is far more serious than was
at first apprehended, and even the resi-
dent minister's at Pekin are inclined to
admit that the task is not an easy one
for the Chinese government.

with the cold at all. We have worked
every day all winter. Are all well and
feeling well. Have built log house

will talk to him enough to pay for not

Even Mere Babes Can BE Encouraged
i'm the Habit OF Trying Again.
"Few little children, Of course, volun-
tarily set themselves to overcome diff
culties, yet more would do so II parents
and nurses were not In the habit Of
catering to that fiightlness characters
tic Of all young things, which leads them
to follow up whatever momentarily att
tracts their attention" Is the position
taken by Florence Hull Winterburn,
writing of "Child Life in the Home"
in the Woman's Home Companion.
"The capacity to dwell for long time
upon one thought involves goth inten-
sity of desire and innate ambition to
reach right results. / have seen this
struggle for perfection in an inciplent
form show itself In a little child but
eighteen months old. And how sincere
ly / respected that little one. He was
sitting In his mothers lap beside the
library table one evening, when in an
idle mood she took up penny and set
1t on the head of small gilt image
three or four inches high and with a
ucdu ScuIctiy iuIScI tnhu tuc Coiu. ccC-
ing that the baby watched her, she
said, playfully, Baby can't do that!
The little ones brown eyes sparkled
with look that seemed to say, oh,
can't l? And taking the penny in his
fingers he essayed to balance 1t as she
had done. 1t fell. 'Ohv said baby,
quietly, and picking 1t up tried again,
with the same result. Without the
least sign Of encouragement or impa-
tience the little thing tried over and
over again for score of times, until at
last he succeeded In balancing the coin
on the head Of the image. The brave
baby! We gave him a round of ap-
plause, and he looked from one to the
other Of us with curious little glance
of satisfaction. The next day he could
not be prevailed upon to undertake the
same feat again. Once having demon
strated that he could do it, the act lost
its interest. Here was tiny hero in
