TRADE MARK COUNTS.

The brothers spend a great deal of time
in their room studying. but they give some
Of their evenings to society. And invita-
tons are always awaiting them. st. Louis
ans. who have met them and heard their
music, are always glad to see them again.
These cordial receptions have been i'm
mensely pleasing to the young men and
they so express themselves.
1t was a great novelty. so Emil Bronnum
thought. to truck at the Simmons plant all
day. then remove his overalls. go to his
room and don a dress suit and figure in So
ciety. 1t was another American privilege
that interested him. q
Citizens of st. Louis are very. very nice.

would be better If their people would copy
some of these ways.

His Wife, Formerly Maude
Come, Aggrieves Leader
of Transvaal Brigade.
FIGHTS MAY BE IN FRANCE.

London, May 23.-In an open letter from
Paris, Major Mcbride, who organized the
Transvaal Brigade, has challenged John
Redmond, Timothy c. Harrington and their
friends to fight duels in consequence OF
their attitude toward Mrs. Mcbride dor-
nerly Maude Gomez at the meeting Of cit
liens held in the Dublin Rotunda on Mon
day night last.
The meeting was called in support of
the Irish parliamentary fund. and result
ed in scenes OF extreme disorder owing to
the presence of members of the Gaelic
League. who are opposed to giving King
Edward a friendly welcome on his coming
visit to Ireland.
Major Mcbride says:
at seems that only the fact that my wife
is a lady prevented Redmond and HaEring-
ton and their friends from dealing summa-
rily with her. They evidently regret mat II
was not her husband who was present.
Unfortunately 1 cannot go to Ireland for
the present, but in the meantime, II any OF
them feel aggrIeved at my wife's action, /
shall be most happy to ahosd them salts

Scenes of wild disorder were witnessed
in the rotunda in Dublin on last Monday
night, when. at a meeting Of citizens In
support of the Irish parliamentary fund.
Maude Come demanded to know II. Lord
Mayor Harrington intended to Oppose the
presentation OF an address Of welcome to
King Edward on his visit to Ireland.
1t was while John Redmond was address
ing the audience that the famous woman
patriot dvanc to the platform and In
~terrupted the proceedings. The Lord Mayor
answered her in an evasive manner. She
thereupon demanded a direct and positive
reply. whereat the audience became wildly
excited. The furore continued for several
minutes, and John Redmond was prevented
from finishing his speech.

In her belief that the victim Of the acci-

at once have the truth revealed. When
Martha was taken to the morgue and
brought before the body, she fell into the
arms of Superintendent Cowie as soon nS
she realized that the dead man was indeed
her father.
Gormly was run down and killed by
Delmar car No. 917. of which Charles T.
Smith of No. 1913 Forest Park boulevard
was motorman. Gormly. who was slight

between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets
when the car struck him.
The body Of Gormly was dragged thirty
feet before the car was brought to a stand,
still. Smith, seeing that the body Es5
pinioned under the motor. abandoned his
car. Patrolman Patterson could find no
trace of either Smith or Conductor Trotter.
1t was necessary to wait until the wrecking
wagon arrived with jack-screws before the
body could be extricated and taken to the
morgue.
Motorman Smith was arrested at the Of

mil and Axel BrOnnum Start
In as Truck Handlers at
Simmons Hardware Com
pany to Become Yersed
in the Trade.

Emil and Axel Bronnum, sons of a
wealthy merchant of Copenhagen, Denmark,
are in st. Louis, learning the business ways
of Americans.
Employed in minor capacities by the Sim
mona Hardware Company. they are setting
an example to the American youth.
No work was too hard for them, and a
year ago. when Emil Bronnum secured en-
ployment with the Simmons Hardware Com
pany, he was given a truckers job.
Hls hands were soft and his speech de-
Noted refinement. But he donned a pair of
overalls and took his place with the other
men in the Simmons building.
A lot is a hard one in a hard
ware establishment. for he must do a great
deal of heavy lifting. The work is most Sc
we're, and an American youth of education
doesn't like the job.
But when Emil Bronnum went to Wallace
Simmons. president of the company. he said
that he had come to st. Louis to learn the
business methods of the American, and
wanted a place at the bottom.
Can you truck ?" asked Mr.. Simmons.
mo, but can learn" said the young
Dane.
And he was given employment.
Six months of conscientious labor in the
trucking department of the m estab-
lishment won the Dane a place in the Office,
and he now has what might be called a
.,eentleman's' occupation.
he intends to remain with the Simmons
company for at least W. years. and he is
going to learn every department of the bnsi-
ness.

older than his brother. He came to Amer
Z lea at the solicitation of Emil.
Come to America-St. Louisiana learn
things YOU never dreamed Of" was the mes
sage sent by Emil Bronnum to his brother
across the sea.
Axel Bronnum served for three years in
the Danish Army, gaining the rank of First
Lieutenant. On account of the Danish
lsws he must serve a short term in the
army every year. A trip to America six
months ago meant that Axel Bronnuna
would escape this service, an offense that
costs the offender thirty days in prison.
Rut Emil's enthusiasm was too much for
the brother, and he packed his trunk and
sailed to America.
when he returns to Denmark, which will
he next year, he win be court-martialed and
sentenced for thirty days. But Axel Bron-
mum says he doesn't mind his a bit.

both counties.

PEOPLE WILL BE INFORMED.
No Snap Judgment is to be Taken in
Good Roads Matter.

The people of the county are te
be fully informed before they are
asked to vote on the good roads
matter. Surveys will be made, the
cost per mile, the roads to be i'm
proved, the amount of improvement
for each year and all other details
in connection with the improvement
will be given wide publicity before
the votes are cast.
No one who is honestly in favor
of good roads has any fears that
they will not be treated fairly In
the election question. Some who
profess to be in favor OF the idea are
throwing obstacles in the way to
prevent the voters from taking the
right side on the question.
The county court will further
consider the matter at the June
term and will then be in better po-
sition to act than they were at the
recent term.

Mr. GEORGE RIDDLE was first
brought here by Professor Patterson
to read before the University and
the people of Morgantown IN 1889.
On that occasion his readings
aroused the greatest interest, his
repertoire including Hamlet, Mac
beth, and A Midsummer Nights
Dream. He was brought here again
in 1S99-1900 and read A Mid
summer Nights Dream, Lucretia
Borgia and Twelfth Night, repeat
ing A Midsummer Nights Dream
by general request. In 1900-0l he
had but one vacant night in this
vicinity and gave us but one read
ing, The Merchant of Venice. Last
year we were unable to have him
here. OF course it is impossible to
pay Mr.. Riddle enough to bring him
here from any distance. We have
the opportunity of hearing him when
his route is SO arranged as to leave
him an extra vacant night or two,
as near US az Pittsburg or Baltimore.
This year fortunately, he passes
near us and we have the chance
again to hear his mastery readings
of the greatest works of literature.
This time. too, he has planned to
read number of light, humoi Gus
selections in which he is unrivaled.
No one should miss this opportuni-
ty TO hear him.
