Replying to your telegram will say
vigorous action has been taken by the
state government and the St. Louis po
lice department to enforce respect for law
in st. Louis and protect life and property
The mayor however, who is a candidate
for denomination not desiring to offend,
positively refuses to cooperate with us,
which lends encouragement to the law
less element and impedes our progress
towards restoration of normal condition.
The president of the board of police COM
missioners writes me under date of the
7th inst, as follows:
'HenryZeigenhein, mayor Of st. Louis,
has persistenly refused to attend the
meetings of the police board of which he
is a member or to give us assistance Of
any kind at this critical period. His Hon
or, in spite of sundry requests has per-
sistently refused to assist the board in
any way, and it is my belief that his fai-
lure to do so has worked great harm to US
in this crisis. Especially do I deplore the
fact as president of the police board that
he refused to issue proper sort of proc
lamation to keep the peace and for the
disposing of mobs.'
"As governor I have cOnscientiously
and fearlessly done my duty as my judg
ment directed. I have required that 2, 800
emergency policemen be sworn in ,and
with Sheriff Sutton, posse of $500 addi-
tional able bodied and law abiding citi-
zens to serve under the direction of the
police commissioners. Up to this hour
it has not been deemed necessary by the
police commissioner of st. Louis to order
out the militia, the commissioners yet
belleveing that they are equal to the
emergency. There have been only spas
modc outbreaks, which the police and
deputy sheriffs have been able to manage.
The stripping of the women to which
you refer was done by three girls between
the ages Of fourteen and sixteen. A sa-
loon keeper was also arrested on suspi-
cion of being implicated. 1t was not
thought best to order out the militia to
shoot them. The girls have been tried
and sentenced to terms in the Industrial.

Whereas, During the pendency of the
present railway strike, and the crisis
through which the city is now passing,
it is of the utmost public Importance
that all excitement be suppressed, and
that no acts of any kind be done which
may create excitement in public places,
such as the aSsemblying Of crowds and
groups of persons upon the streets, the
discussion Of the situation in boisterous
language or the discharge of fire arms or
fire works;
Therefore, l, the undersigned, mayor
of the city of st. Louis, by virtue of the
power and authority in me vested by law,
do hereby proclaim and direct that all
presons in the city of st. Louis, refrain
from gathering in numbers on the public
streets or in public places; that all per-
sons, particularly women and children re-
main in doors as much as possible until
the present situation is relieved; that
jeering or abusive language, or language
calculated to provoke a breach of the

home for girls. Most Of the newspapers
I'm st. Louis endeavor to satnd in with the
lawless element as we'll as with the better
element and think it popular to withhold
support from state officers and constan-
ly criticise any act of the police authori-
ties
"a similar strike upon the street rail-
ways was ordered in Kansas City about
the same time the st. Louis strike was or
dered but proved n failure because the
mayor. the newspapers and the sh riff, all
co-operated with the police department.
We have four regiments in Missouri con-
sisting altogether Of about $500 men. The
first regiment with two hours notice, will
be ready for duty. The other three regi-
ments can be mobiized in st. Louis with
I'm ten hours. Camping sites have been
selected in the city and details all arrang-
cd, and as soon as / am informed by the
proper authorities that a tumult exists in
the city and lawlessness and disorder pre-
walls, with which the authorities are un-
able to cope, the National guard will be
called out to enforce the law and prevent
further disorder and acts of violence with
out delay. Conditions are indeed bad
enough, but exaggerated reports have
reached the east. l feel the worst is over.
1t was demonstrated in st. Louis yester-
day when four or five strikers were shot
and killed, that our authorities mean bus
mess. I believe that law and order will
soon be restored and the good name and
dignity of st. Louis and the state Of Mis-
souri, will be preserved Many Of the st.
Louis people cridcise my every act since
this strike was declared and oppose the
calling out of the militia, where even

this time take care of herself"

Upon the merits Of the case as pre-

under the title when John Was England's

London Academy amuses itself by imagin-
ing the form taken by the letters Of rejec-
ton. II thinks Messrs. Macmillan might
have written somewhat like this:
"Messrs. Macmillan & Co. regret to have

ton is diminishing. Their readers report

be difficult to rebut. In his opinion. the
author of When John Was England's

and more readable book had he studied

Here Is another burlesque letter:
'Mr. John Murray begs to return the Ms.

to quote a passage from his readers report
thereon: L do not recommend this novel.

THE SPIRIT OF TRAVEL.

From the Youths Companion.
PEOPLE In old times rarely travelled, ex-
cept az mariners. merchants or fighting
men. Lord Beichan of the ancient ballad
was, indeed. a pioneer tourist when he
shipped himself on board a ship strange
countries for to see." but then he was a
lord and could indulge his fancies. Com
mon folk were stay-at-homes.
To-day travel is so general that those
who are denied the privilege feel as never
before the hardship of having to deny that
innate gypsy instinct which bids US wander
while the world ia in its summer prime.
Yet. after all. he is a better and more for
tunate traveller whose mind only journeys
than ne whose body fares abroad by rail
or steamship while his mind remains unim-
proved.
The glimpse OF tall spars at a pier, the
blast offshore OF a steamers siren through
the fog. the roar OF train at night with
Redeemed smoke and serpent-Iength of light
ed windows-these hints of travel mean
more to some minds than others could
gather in a foreign tour.
"Rome?" said one languid tourist. ''Oh
yes. that's the place for pearls and striped
silks; pretty but they don't wear we'll

STUDYING THE
AURORA BOREALIS.

AN interesting account of the work done in
Iceland by the Danish expedition which was
led by Herr Paulsen has just been communi-
Gated to the Scientific Society of Copen-
hagen. The main object OF the expedition
was to study the Northern light. or aurora
borealis. and its observations for this pur-
pose were taken from the summit of Mount
Suiur, on which a small hut had been erect
ed at a height of 1000 feet. Not without ex-
treme difficulty was this hut constructed.
The mountain being very steep, II had TO be
taken up in thirty sections, each section be-
ing placed on a sledse. which was drawn to
the summit by a member of the expedition.
fitting place for II also was not easily
found, as fearful storms rage around this
mountain top. and any totally unprotected
building would speedily be wrecked by them.
Finally they found a sheltered spot. and,
building the hut there, they made 1t their
home
They had planned to take observations on
ffty-three days. but only On four was the
weather favorable for such work. Yet even
during this brief time they made some not
able discoveries. Their aim was to ascertain
the regular course of electricity In the air
and the manner in which 1t Is Influenced by
the North light. They were quickly enabled
to prove that the electrical intensity in
creases from the morning until 2 O'Clock In
the afternoon. and then decreases until It
becomes very slight during the evening and
night. They also learned that only excep-
tionally vivid North lights in the vicinity of
the zenith exercise any marked influence on
the air. Furthermore. by means of photo
graphs, they discovered several new lines in
the spectrum of the North light, eight OF
which were ultraviolet.
Their observations in regard to the height
of the North lights satisfied them that such
phenomena only take place at a very great
distance above the earth. This Is also the
opinion of Herr Lehpardt, the German me
teorologist, who has devoted much time TO
the study Of the aurora boreals.
The work done by the Danish expedition Is
exciting much interest among the scientists
of Europe, and Herr Paulsen has been in
vited to give a full account of 1t at the Me-
Congress which Ia to be held in
Paris In September.

THY face Ii always near TO me,
Though thou art far away,
1t is a beacon bright and fair

GOOD WALKERS.

From the Youths Companion.
IT is said that the best footmates of the
Nineteenth Century were william and Mary
Hewitt. the writer's Of so many charming
bits Of literature. They began to walk on
their wedding day, and kept on walking
during nearly sixty years of married life.
In 1894. when walking was far from
fashionable, this sturdy Quaker pair
walked 500 miles among the Scotch noun
tains. carrying necessary luggage on their
strong young backs. They climbed Ben
Lomond. waded streams. crawled over
bogs, scrambled through bracken and slid
down sheer defiles In the course of this
wild tramp. Doubtless the peasants fancied
they were mad.
In the fifty-first year Of their married
life. when Mrs. Hewitt was over 70 and her
husband almost 50. they started out one
summer morning to climb an alp OF the
Tyrol From the village of Taufers they
climbed a road too steep for vehicles,
walking steadily for FIVE hours.
At dusk they came to a farmers chalet;
there they were cordially invited to sup
per, and there for two nights they slept
on the sweet. fresh hay in the barn. and
employed the days in twice climbing to the
mountain top.
An excursion which had been planned for
William Howitts birthday. sitter ne had
passed his eightieth year, was reluctantly
abandoned because of the rain. A year
or two later his wife wrote:
Father and have just come in from a
pleasant walk right into the country.
amongst picturesque houses and such
ancient orchards and parklike fields scat
tered over with grand old Spanish chest
nuts"
Mr.. Hewitt died In 1879. aged "a. For a
few years more his faithful footmate took
quiet strolls and gathered the flowers her
husband loved. And when she had lived to
see 50 years she gently fell asleep.
