ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, May 26.-Charles
Bristow is under arrest here, and the
police have found the 1000 of which
his brother Alonzo Bristow, claims to
have been robbed in Chicago last
week. Alonzo Bristow had shipped
horses from Bedford, Iowa, and claim
ed to have been robbed while on the
way to the station. The police allege
that instead of being robbed, Bristow
turned the money over to Ray Rich
ards, a young man whose home is in
this city. Richards brought the money
here and gave it to his father. Charles
BristoW learned from his brother that
the money was here and came here to
get it. He threatened Richards and
his father with a revolver. The elder
Richards then placed the money in the
hands of lawyer and Bristow was
arrested. The money he turned over
to w. E.. Crum, a Bedford banker, who
claims it, and Charles Bristow will
probably be released.

WOMEN MOB ALICE
World's Fair Crowd Nearly
Crushes Miss Roosevelt.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May ga crowd
of 5000 persons, more than three
fourths of whom were women, jostled
each other for a glimpse of Miss Alice
Roosevelt, eldest daughter of the pres
ident, at the union station this after
noon when she arrived for a weeks S
visit. Four hundred women broke
through the gates to the midway when
the train arrived bringing Miss Roose-
welt, Miss Alice Warder, of Washing
ton, and several maids. The women
crowded about Miss Roosevelt at the
train steps, delaying her advance in
spite of the protection of policemen.
Miss Irene Catlin, Miss Roosevelt's
hostess, and her brother, T. E. Catlin,
had great difficulty in keeping near
the party.
When the midway was passed, Miss
Roosevelt and her escorts broke into a
rapid walk, while the crowd followed
with shouts of "Hurrah for Miss
Roosevelt" There she isl" until the
carriage was reached at the entrance
of the station. So great was the crush
at the carriage that the presidents
daughter was almost forced against
the wheels before she could enter. AS
soon as she was seated the carriage
was driven away rapidly.

Speaks of Narrowness.
Dr. James D. Moffatt, president of
Washington and Jefferson college,
leader of the union or liberal party,
read selections from the Cumberland
confession, pointing out the similarity
it bore to the Westminster confession
as revised in 1903, and said that it was
too narrow a view to take to urge the
rejection of the Cumberland church on
doctrinal points where it takes a
Princeton theological seminary -presi-
dent to point them out and he fails to
do so.
DR.. ]. Ross Stevenson read a tele-
gram from Rev. w. P. Bohm, from
Dallas, inquiring whether the PreSby-
terian church has eliminated doctrines
of unconditional election and irresisti-
BILE grace from the Westminster con-
fessional and if a constitutional ma
jority would approve of this interpre-
tation. HIS reply was that the revis-
ers of the convention left the Calvin
istic system, including the doctrines
mentioned, intact

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 26.-Today's
session of the Presbyterian assembly
closed amid great excitement and
with the question of union with the
Cumberland branch still unsettled.
When the moderator declared the ses-
sion adjourned a dozen men were
clamoring for recognition and confu-
sion reigned in all parts of the house.
A resolution offered by the Rev. John
F. Crason, of Brooklyn, fixing the time
for taking the vote on the question
precipitated the crisis. Points Of or
der, questions of privilege and amend
ments came from a score of commits
sioners at the same time. When a
semblance or order was restored the
resolution was finally passed. 1t fixes
the time for a vote at 80 tomorrow,
and limits the remaining addresses to
ten minutes each.

Among those who spoke for union

1t was the feeling tonight that the
proposal for union would be carried
by a large majority, but that the pro-

will mean that the recommendation is

PARIS, May 26,1According to rei-
able information the Vatican authori-

the nuncio at Paris, to leave Paris if
he is able to foresee from the discus

The absence of Mgr. Lorenzelli from

strued by his colleagues as being fur
ther evidence Of the interruption of

1417 6 Street.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 26.-The
president has struck snag in his plan
to have Secretary Of Commerce Cor
telyou appointed chairman of the Re-
publican national eeulraittee. A. mart
of the plan was to have Mr.. Co1seIyou
resign from the cabinet and for the
president to designate Assistant Muir
ray as temporary head of the depart
ment of commerce, then for Mr.. Cor
telyou to be reappointed secretary at
the close of the campaign.
1t has been recalled, however, that
the president is prohibited by law from
designating a temporary head of an
executive department for more than
thirty days. This matter was talked
over by the president, Senator Aldrich
and Senator Spooner today. The presi-
dent does not wish to appoint a new
secretary of commerce during the cam
paign. Besides, Mr.. Cortelyou does not
wish to give up the job permanently.
This difficulty may possibly change
the presidents decision to have Mr..
Cortelyou manage his campaign. Sew
eral Republican leaders are opposed to
Mr.. Cortelyou's selection.

THE PICKET WINS
FROM IRISH LAD
Western Champion Captures
Brooklyn Handicap In
Last Jumps.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Coming down
of the run to the wire, The Picket, the
Vests champion in the Brooklyn
handicap, today snatched victory away
from the ever popular Irish Lad, the
Brooklyn winner of last year and the
Metropolitan winner of this year.
1t was scarcely, more than the nod
of a head, but the hardy westerner
finished stronger than Irish Lad, whose
terrific pace with Hermis up to the
very home stretch, would have tried
to the utmost the stoutest of heart and
the sturdiest of limb Frantic cheers,
which had been ringing from the
throats of nearly 10000 onlookers, died
away when it was realized that Irish
Lad had gone down to defeat.
Proper, the California candidate,
came through at the end and beat out
Hermis for third place. The time for
the mile was 1:39 25 and for the mile
and quarter s2:06 3-5, one and one
fifth seconds slower than the race rec
ord made by Irish Lad last year.
The handicap was worth $40, 600, of
which $2,50o went to the second horse
and $1,5O0 to the third.
A great outpouring of turf devotees
saw the eighteenth running of the
classic event. Hours before the time
set for the first race the tJfrnstiles at
the gateways began clicking, and be-
fore 2:S0, the hour for the first race,
both tiers of the double decked grand
stand were crowded to the limit, the
lawn was black with people and they
had begun to overflow into the field.
Irish Lad the Favorite.
AS the time for the handicap, the
fourth event on the programme, drew
near, the name of Irish Lad, from the
stable of Herman B. Duryea, could be
heard on all sides. He had grown
into immense popularity after it had
been definitely learned that there was
little hope for McChesney, owing to the

Daughters of Desperation" by Hil- degarde Brooks, published by Mcclure, Phillips and Company New York, is certainly a very entertaining story, bright, vivacious and sparkling. The style is graceful, the situation delicious. The book is entertaining throughout. The story is an improbable one, but that does it no hurt; it is very interesting reading. The plot is wholly original and diverting. As has been well said of it by the New York Evening Post: It strikes into a fresh field rich in material for good farce-conedy and the three Daughters of Desperation are quite as seriously charming as some of Henry Harland's creations Here is the proc blem A young man of conventional ideas. on the way to act as groomsn1an lat the wedding of his best friend, is drawn by circumstancesi into sharing the plans of three beautiful anarchists to rob the safe of all the wedding silver, after they have fulfilled their duties as bridesmaids. How the young man, upon his first refusal to join in the bur glary was shut in a cellar dungeon by his three captors with grudge against the Established Order is told with just enough of burlesque to cover the suspi- cion of incredibility. How he was final- Fly induced to become an accessory after the fact, and to help carry the plunder from the house of the bride at midnight this is a matter wherein are involved the theories of the odd colony to which the three charming Daughters of Des- peration belonged. Here the play of sa- tire is delicious, and social reformers of various brands are cleverly grilled.
 But there is a story and it is kept to the front through all the play of satire. For time after the stolen silver is packed in tool chest and shipped from the country town, there is a horrible fear that "Josh,'' the dog, has been nailed up. At the end, however, the dog appears, the bride and bridegroom appear, the nightmare complications are set straight, and the conventional young man is promised "Son-in-law of Desperation" Not often does one come upon fresher plot, or a little sto- ry more bubbling with generous satire and more pleasingly written"
 Says the Newark Advertiser: If you are looking for amusement you can find it in no better way than by reading Daughters of Desperation It is a bright, sprightly, humorous little tale; it is peopled with unique characters and is of very original plot. The ingen- uousness of the heroines, the breeziness and briskness of the action, and the many amusing situations make it of ir- resistible interest.
 Daughters of Desperation may be obtained at the Pease-Lewis Co., $; price $1.25.
 The illustrations in Stewart Edward Whites new novel, The Silent Places,'' to be published this week by Mcclure, Phillips and Company, are by Philip R. Goodwin. They will be reproduced in four colors. Another Mcclure book to appear shortly, "A Little Union Scout" by Joel Chandler Harris, will have pie lures by George Gibbs. The latter sto- ry, it is reported, has been called for so
