RIOTS IN ST. LOUIS.
Yesterday Was the Worst Day Since the
Great Strike on the Transit Com
panY's Lines BeEan.

St. Louis, May 3O.-In a riOting
sense yesterdays developments were
the worst experienced since the strike
on the lines of the st. Louis Transit
company was inaugurated over three
weeks ago. The rioting was confined
entirely to four places in the south
ern section of the city and by night
fall the police records showed that
fully a dozen persons had either re-
ceiyed bullet wounds or been hurt by
flying missiles. Three Of those hit by
bullets received what are presumably
mortal wounds.
At midnight last night a terrific
dynamite explosion at Fifteenth and
Chambers streets awol1e residents liv-
ing within a mile, smashed windows
in every direction and tore up a big
section of street car track. No one
was injured. 1t is supposed that
strikers or their sympathizers were
responsible for the explosion.

MISTAKE OF A SMART LAWYER
E1tOrted Money from Hts Partners
In a Deal, But They After
ward Got Even.

This is so true that it is interesting
very much so. a well-knOwn Maine at
torney is especially noted for his keen
ness in looking out for the best end Of
every bargain and for his ability in
getting hold Of that end. It has made
him unpopular in some circles-has
that trait Of his, says the Lewiston
Journal
One deal not long ago he was in with
a couple Of friends-men Of wealth and
standing. Business was good the first
year. There was a generous division
Of profits. But tn lawyer wasn't sat
isfied with what was coming to him,
share and share alike with the others.
After receiving his proper whack as a
partner he exacted $500 more for
Counsel fees" He said that as law
yer he was worth that much more to
the deal. This was a new way Of look
ing at the matter, but the bill was
resignedly allowed by the friends.
They were pretty good business men,
understand. In little while they saw
that the venture wasn't Panning out
very well. So the shrewd men Of at
fairs quietly unloaded without saying
anything to their partner. Then q Ut
tie later came the crash.
The lawyer hurried around TO hold
a consolation meeting with the other
two.
Gracious, isn't this too bsd?'
moaned he. 81 lost so-and-sO. How
much did you fellows drop? You must
have been hit pretty hard"
You're wrong, old boy" came the
cheerful duet. awe never lost a dol
lar; no, we never lost g cent Tra-ls."
"What-t-ti"
Never lost q doIlari We saw st
coming two months ago. Had & tip.

''Well, then, why in the name Of all
that's square and above-board, didn't
you tell Re?"
well, we could have, had you al
lowed us $500 counsel fees when you
took yours. See?'

sidered to have been one OF the most

THE ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
Reports Indicate That Taxing OF Scientific
Data Was Entirely suces ssfuI and No
Accident Marred the Observations.

Washington, May 29-Advices re-
ceiyed at the naval observatory from
its agents in various points in the
south show that favorable weather
prevailed for observing the suns
eclipse yesterday, that the contact oc-
CURED very close to schedule time and
that the programme arranged was
carried out without a hitch. Three
parties were sent out from the OBJ
servatOry, viz: one to Pinehurst, n.
C., in charge Of Prof. Aaron y. Skin
neT; one to GAINESVILLE, Ga, in charge
Of Prof. Milton Updegraff, and one
to Griffin, Ga, in charge of Prof. Slim
son J. Brown
In Washington the weather was
slightly cloudy, which somewhat
married the opportunities for getting
a satisfactory observation of the
eclipse. The eclipse arrived Just
few seconds ahead of schedule time,
but the irregularity was so slight
that an ordinary observer could not
have discerned it. The trained star
gazers claim that the contact came
from five to eight seconds before 1t
was due, but the difficulty of telling
just when the actual contact began
was so great because of a cloud which
passed that even they cannot quite
agree among themselves. They do
agree, however, that it was one of
the most remarkable predictions IN
the history of astronomy, it being
doubtful If ever before the time of the
arrival of an eclipse was so accurately
announced in advance.
Unofficial reports which have
reached Washington indicate that the
eclipse was visible to a greater or
less degree in its entire path Of to-
tality. Particularly fortunate were
the observers in the southern section
Of the country where the weather
seemed to be unusually favorable for
securing the Photographic data which
the scientists we're so anxious to OBJ
tain.

GERMAN BOY IS AHEAD.
Three Years in Advance Of the yam
kee Boy in school, 1t Is
Claimed.

81 know It would be wrong to explain
our being three years ahead Of a New
England boy merely from the scholarly
preparation Of our teachers" says
Prof. Hugo Muensterberg in Atlantic.
"a second factor, which Is hardly less
important, stands clear before my
mind too; the help which the school
found in our homes. I % not mean
that we were helped IN our work, but
the teachers were silently helped by
the spirit which prevailed in our homes
with regard to the school work. The
school had the right Of wayI our par
ents reinforced our belief in the work
and our respect for the teachers; q
reprimand in the school was a shadow
on our home life; q word Of praise in
the school was q ray Of sunshine for
the household. The excellent school
books, the wise plan for the UPbuilding
Of the ten years course, the hygienic
care, the external EtimUlatiOns, have
al, Of course, helped toward the re-
suItsB and yet I an convinced that their
effect was entirely secondary compared
with those two features, the scholarly
enthusiasm Of our teachers and the re
Epect for the school on the part Of our
parents"
