The Board of Police Commissioners held I i meeting- Sunday afternoon and began the task of comparing- the individual records the nearly l.ooo men on the force as 1 shown by the board's books, with the grad-iigs made by the Captains in accordance 'with an issued by the board, with the view of ridding the department of the vdead timber" which has accumulated since the four-year rule as to commissions has been permitted to become a dead letter. The meeting was called to suit the convenience of one or two of the Commissioners, who are too busy on wepk days to give close attention to the work on hand. The task ahead of the board is a gigantic one. It involves the close scrutiny of the record made by each man on the police force as kept by successive boards ar.l a careful comparison of this record with the reports the Captains make on the men in the grading process ordered bv the Commissioners. In this process the men are grouped into three grades.

The third grade Includes those whom the Capta'ns and Sergeants have reprimanded for the various degrees of neglect of duly, such as Idling, frequenting saloons, drunkenness, etc. Th second grade is composed of men guilty of lesser offenses, while the first grade has in it the men against whom their superior officers have had no cause of Washington Avenue Wholesalers of LESS BROS.

WAS NOT GEQRGESUSAHKA. Bpringmeyer's Clew Resembled the Kissing Boy Only in Sex. Henry Springmeyer's clew to the $500 reward for finding: George Susanka did not pan out. The boy from Chicago who aspired to be a barber was not George Su-eanka, and did not even resemble him any more closely than that he had the same number of limbs and organs. The Chicago coy was of the tow-head variety, hair nearly white, while the Susanka boy's hair is almost black.

George Susanka is 8 years old, and Mr. Springmeyer's find is 14. Mr. Springmeyer, as stated in the Sundav Post-Dispatch, refused to give even a hint as to where the boy was for fear of some one getting to the reward first. Sundav morning- he took Mr.

Susanka with him, but did not tell him till they were on the train where they were goln. The place was near Mitchell. 111. After a two-miie walk over ploughed land and briar patches they reached the farm where the boy is stopping. Mr.

Susanka did not have to look for birth marks to identify him as his son. NOT DR. LOEB'S STATEMENT. An Error Which Does an Injustice to That Gentleman. By an unintentional error Jn Saturday's and Sunday's Issues of the Post-Dispatch Dr.

H. W. Loeb, Secretary of the Marlon Sims Medical College, was quoted as say- ing that the new ruling of the Board of Health as to requirements of students would fall heavily upon the Woman's Medical College, Beaumont College and others. The Information upon which this statement was based did not come from Dr. Loeb but from sources entirely distinct, and' therefore he should not be credited with having made euch an utterance.

An Unsuccessful Collector. Annie Johnson of 129 Poplar street was a eight when a friend took her "to the Citv Dispensary this morning. Her head and face were so covered wrth blood that it was hard to tell whether she was black, white, or Indian. She had a long. Jagged scalp wound, a biff lump over the eye, and her upper lip was split wide open.

She explained that a man'who owed her money became righteously indignant when she asked him for It, and announced his intention of "paying it out of her hide." He proceeded to do so until she begged him to uspend payment. Despondent Printer Takes Morphine. Edward Lester, a printer from Dayton, took morphine with suicidal intent in a saloon at Sixth and Market at 8 o'clock this morning. A friend took him to the Dispensary where Dr. Newcomb pumped him out.

He was advised to go to the Hospital, but refused, and left with his friend. He has only been in the city a few days and the attempt was due to despondency at being: unable to find employment. Thrown from a Truck. Assistant Foreman Charles Holland of the No. 3s Hook and Ladder Truck at Sev- enth and Olive streets was painfully but not seriously injured this morning.

The truck started out of the engine house at full peed In response to an alarm from Seventeenth and Pine streets, with Holland clinging to the Bide. In passing the door jamb he was brushed off and thrown violentlv to the ground, cutting his legs below the knees. He was taken to the Dispensary, where his wounds were dressed. He was sent to home, 35224 Clark avenue. Heavy Tobacco Purchases.

Sam "Werner of the S. "Werner Cigar Company of this city has returned from New York, whero he has been for the past two weeks on business. Among other things he purchased four carloads of leaf tobacco, and worth of Imported cigars. He is one of the heaviest buyers in the West, and every fall and spring goes East on buying trips. His Attempt to Smash His Wife Out of Business a Failure.

After a night in the Central District holdover, Wm. F. Link, cashier in Collector Ziegenhein's office, appeared in the First District Folice Court Monday a soberer and wiser man than he was when he was locked up Sunday night. Link's wife, from whom he is separated, was the prosecuting witness. Sunday night while under the Influence of liquor Link went to the Morgan Club, a saloon and restaurant at Jefferson avenue and Chestnut street, kept by his wife, and smashed all the windows In the place, tor nearly an hour he made things hum and the whole place was filled with flying furniture and broken glass.

Officer Kearney was called in by Mrs. Link and placed the riotous husband under arrest. When Link found he was going to be locked up he cried and begged his wife to let him go. He promised not to bother her any more if she would tell the officer to release him. Mrs.

Link concluded that she would not interfere and Sergent Dawson and Officer Keaney took Link in charge. She was afraid he would return and kill her during the night and declared that he threatened to murder her on Wednesday. On that riay Link entered her place armed with a butcher knife and chased her out the back way. She says she had a narrow escape from serious injury or death, and that is a dangerous man when he is I'rinkmg. She wil! have him placed under bond to keep the peace.

When his case was called this mor ling it went ov until October 8 on a r'e fr a continuance. WILL SUE THE ARCHBISHOP. i Fr. J. Cosgrove Wants Salary for Be- ins KePt Out of Wori.

Fr. J. Cosgrove announced Monday that he enter suit against Archbishop Kain sixteen months' salary, covering the period during which he alleges that Archbishop Kain has deprived him of a permanent appointment in the diocese. Saturday the Archbishop publicly advertised that he had heard Fr. Cosgrove was collecting money in this c'ty and warned the public that the priest had no authority from him to collect.

Ft. Cosgrove does not deny collecting, but savs he is soliciting money from his friends order to keep himself alive, as he claims the Archbishop has neglected to provide for his support. Fr. Cosgrove says: "For eleven years I was in charge of the missions in Lewis an 1 Clark Counties and built three churches. One of these I sold by order of Archb.shop Kenrick.

When Archbishop Kain came to St. Louis he removed me from the mission. Then Chancellor Van der Sanden. bought back the church that had been sold. I was left without an appointment to make my living as best I could.

A short time ago I was appointed Chaplain to a convent in Ca-tawissa. It is an isolated spot, and as I have not vet made up my mind to be a hermit, I left. I got a priest to supply my place. I then wrote to Archbishop Kain, telling him that I had left and informing him that I expected him to remunerate me for the time he had kept me -without support, if not I would have recourse to law. I attribute the Archbishop's treatment of me to the influence of local clergymen who have his ear and bear me no good-will." IN A BRUTE'S GRASP.

Timely Arrest of Dick Snyder Saves Little Jeisie Himmelstein. Dick Snyder, colored, Sunday evening attempted criminal assault upon little 6-year-old Jennie Himsmelstein, white. It was his second offense. Snyder has a room on the second floor of the house at the southeast corner High and Morgan streets. Jennie Himmelstein is a pretty, intelligent little white girl, living with her parents at 717 North Eleventh street.

As she was passing up Morgan street. Sunday afternoon, Snyder enticed her into his room. A colored woman in the vicinitv saw him and told Officer O'Brien. The officer entered the house and while ascending the stairs heard cries coming from Snyder's room. His door was slightly ajar and within he saw little Jennie struggling in the grasp of the black brute.

The officer immediately arrested him. He was taken to the station, and a warrant applied for. The child was sent to the Dispensary where it was found that she was uninjured. This is Snyder's second offense. On the previous charge he managed to get off.

He pleaded mental derangement, was sent to the City Hospital for investigation, the charge against him being dismissed later. For Driving Galled Horses. Saturday Agent Price of the Woman's Humane Society made his appearance at the site of the new Liggett Meyers Tobacco Factory, on Austin avenue, near Tower Grove Park, where Carroll brothers, the graders, have a number of teams. As soon as the teamsters saw Price they jumped and ran like scared deer, hiding in box cars and darting into the woods. Price investigated and found that almost every team was galled.

Some of the sores were five and six inches in circumference. He arrested John Wilson and Wm. Meyers, teamsters, and swore out a summons Monday, charging them with cruelty to animals. I Another Warrant for the Gosneys. The fifth of the series of warrants issued against Charles and Robert Gosney of the defunct Cruttwell Storage Co.

was sworn out Monday. This time Mrs. Gussie Johnson of West Morgan street charges them with having appropriated $75 worth of her household goods, which she gave them to store for her. His Sanity Is Doubted. James Neal, 86 years of age, a stranger, claiming to be from Jonesboro, Boone County, 111., was arrested Sunday afternoon, his conduct giving rise to the suspicion he is demented.

Neal says he has a son somewnere in tne vicinity or St. I Louis living on a farm. He was sent to i the City Hospital for examination. An Ingenious Methodist Preacher. From- Tit-Bits.

A Methodist pastor, who, after hard work, has succeeded in gathering together a goodly congregation in a working class suburb of Sheffield, has hit upon an ingenious, device for Increasing the attendance at the weekday prayer meetinir. Find ing that the evening was an inconvenient i time for most of the congregation, he al- I tered the hour to 6 a. and then to 5 a. with no better result, whereupon he made up his mind to offer both material and spiritual nourishment, and now starts his meeting at wita a rree breakrast to follow. Women Shoplifters.

From Tit-Bits. Acccording to a French writer, no fewer than 4,000 women are caught every year stealing during their shopping expeditions. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady Is, be tells us, almost incredible. Among ine more recent cul prits were a Russian princess, a FTenc countess, an English lady of title and the daughter of a reigning sovereign. As a rule, these more distinguished offenders are let off on payment of a round sum for the relief of the poor, which, when the shoplifter is known to be rich, sometimes rises to as much as 10,000 francs (400).

"One of the hardest chaps to run down I ever came across," said he, "was one I had something to do with when I was on the London police force many years ago. He was aa all-round thief, ready and willing to crib anything he could get his hands on, from a house lot to a hot stove, and he never let anybody get their hands on him if he could help tt, and he always did, while I was on the force. For five years I was working along the dock district that fellow kept at his work and we couldn't catch him. One night he cracked a safe and got away with 1,000 or more, and a reward was offered for him. This put us all on our mettle and I was keen to make a reputation and had everything and everybody spotted.

"Not a hair of him, though, showed for as much as three months, and then one night I flushed him and gave chase. He went for the dock, and I was sure I had him, for there was only one way to get out of that, and that was by the water, and In this particular place he couldn't sneak under the flooring, but had to take to the open water. I wasn't ten yards behind him as he went over the dock on a run, and I saw him go over and heard the splash. It couldn't have been a second till I was in sight of the water where he went In, but when I gpt there there wasn't any sign of any man. and the whole place was well lighted with lamps.

I made a thorough search, going all around under the docks beyond, the only place where he could get under, but there wasn't any man there. I was sure that he had been drowned, and we dragged the place, but could find nothing in the shape of a man, though we did fish out a dead woman, who had evidently been in the water for a month. His body had floated off, that was all there was to It, and we congratulated ourselves on getting rid of him, even if we had lost the reward. "However, six weeks later a detective detected him one night on a boat on the Thames, and just as he was going to take him in he went overboard and disappeared in the dark waters of the river. Every effort was made to find him again, but without success, and this time we were sure he had been drowned.

For a year afterward nothing was seen of him. and then we heard of him in Liverpool and one of the Scotland yarders went there to take him if possible. He spotted him, as usual, down about the docks, where he seemed to be careless, and again he took to the water and escaped. By this time we felt sure that he wasn't born to be drowned and that he would turn up again He did, several times, and each time he got away. At last, about five years after I had been In America, I received a letter from a friend of mine In Scotland yard to the effect that the "water dog' as we called him, had been captured by an accident.

"He had been seen near the docks by a roundsman and chased, and as he went toward the water across the dock he tripped on a rope and fell, striking his head on a stanchion, and, falling into the water In an unconscious condition. He was fished out and resuscitated, but before they brought him around they discovered his amphiblous-ness, so to speak. Fastened about his neck was a rubber tube, ten feet or so long, with a mouthpiece ready handy at one end, and the other end fastened Into a small cork float, so that when he went Into the water he staid there, either swimming away or holding on to a dock pile, but never coming to the surface for air, as he got all tin wanted through the tube, with its open end In the float, which wouldn't be noticed on time In a thousand In the dark In such nasty water as is about the docks. Of course, they would have got onto him after a while, but the accidental falling saved time and explained a mystery, which he, no doubt guarded secretly, even from men of his own class, for I know none of th thieves we ever caught could give him away." The Billville Banner. From the Atlanta Constitution.

We lost two legs In the late war; but If old friends keep coming In, as during the past week, we have great hope that we shall strike up with both of them before the Exposition Is over. Billville Is only fifteen miles from Atlanta and our Exposition relatives are arriving on each train. Brethren, pray for us! We asked the railroad company for a free pass and the management sent us a pair of shoes. the people of Atlanta may expect us at the Exposition as soon as we are able to walk. Bill Countv will have no exhibit at the Exposition.

Now, if somebody would only tar and feather us. we might go down and pose as a new phase of the race problem in the South. The Bible tells us that "the poor are always with us." Does this mean sixteen visiting relatives to one landlord during aa International exposition? Lassoed His Elval. A remarkable revenge was wreaked on a rival by a voung man In Waldron, recently. The successful suitor was out walking In the street with the young woman whose love was the cause of the heart burning, when someone in an upper story of a building threw a lasso over his head, drew the noose tight, and hauled Mm up several feet from the sidewalk.

The young man would have hanged but for the quick help of passers-by. His assailant got away temporarily, the other man says. Public Baths in England.

In the First District Police Court Monday morning Joseph Schnuer, a clothing dealer at 31S South Seventh street, was sent to the cage by Judge Peabody for contempt. Saturday Schnuer caused the arrest- of Georgia Mack, colored, for breaking down the door in a room which he had nailed up. The woman rented a room from Schnuer, and the latter wanted to eject her.

He locked and nailed the door while the Mack woman was out, and she broke It down with an ax. Judge Peabody told Schnuer there was only one way to get rid of an objectionable tenant, and that was a landlord summons in a justice court. Schnuer attempted to the case. "Shut up!" commanded the Judge in stentorian tones. Schnuer kept on talking.

"Shut up!" again came the abrupt order. The man in the witness chair paid no attention, and the Court ordered the Deputy Marshal to lock him up. He will be liberated some time this afternoon. ABOUT TOWN. BROKE HIS XOSE.

A meeting of the members of the Pine Street Improvement Association will be held in a few days, for the purpose of urging Architect and Capitalist P. F. Meagher to go ahead with his proposed building on the northeast corner of Xinth and Pine streets.

The building, as planned, will be a ten-story office structure, fronting about C5 feet on Pine and nearly 175 feet on Ninth street. The lot is the site of the old City Livery stable, which was wrecked several years ago, by the owner of the lot, it being reported at that time that the Odd Fellows would locate there. Since then many propositions for erecting sky-scrapers have been considered. Two years ago Chicagoans were satisfied that it was the proper place for a hotel, but the deal fell through. Mr.

Meagher is going ahead slowly. The owners of the property will be interested. Some $350,000 will be needed for the structure. Plans for the proposed structure have been partially completed. In these the main entrance is located on -Ninth street, with a rotunda, 25x30 feet, leading to the stairs and elevators.

The walls will be constructed of buff brick, with stone and terra cotta trimmings. The Interior decorations will consist of polished oak and marble. The lower floors will be arranged in stores. From the present outlook the deal will go through. Oriental Theater Completed.

Decorators are at work "putting the finishing touches on the Oriental Theater Building, and in a few days the change of the old Shaare Emeth Temple to a playhouse will have been completed. Architects Kirchner Kirchner have had the work in hand subletting the contracts. Two additional structures, adjoining the church property, have been erected, one in the rear, where the stage and dressing rooms will be located, and the other fronting on Seventeenth street- which will be used as a cafe. The cost of remodeling the structure In round figures was $50,000. The theater will be opened next Saturday.

The watchful eye of Manager Gaiennie, of the Exposition, missed one big attraction within his building that if advertised would have broken the attendance record. Up in the balcony of the main nave Cupid was playing havoc with two hearts, and when he had done with his mischievous work off he went to let the love-sick couple plan an elopement.

Now, where would the wire-walker or the Sioux Indians or even Sousa be as attractions alongside of a couple in the agonies of love and on the eve of an elopement? Charles Estabrook, the Western agent of the American Cereal Company, otherwise known as the Oatmeal Trust, came here from Minneapolis to take charge of the company's big exhibit at the Exposition. To assist him President Schumacjter, of the trust, sent from headquarters in Akron. Miss Clara Walters, a young lady of 17 summers, whose comeliness was to shed a luster on the exhibit. And it did. But it dazzled the manager.

He had been known among his friends as the woman-hater for no other reason than that he had "batfBhed it" for 35 years. After the Exposition opened his friends thought he had taken to drink. One day he came to work without a necktie. Another time the elevator boy at the Planters' had to remind him that he had on one tan and one patent-leather shoe. No one knew the real cause.

As for Miss Walters, he treated her about the "Ex" with frigid politeness. Last Monday Miss Walters left the city and Mr. Estabrook telegraphed for another assistant. She had gone on to tlx things with papa and mamma, an indispensable requisite, as she had not yet reached her 18th year. Saturday a telegram came to Estabrook saying: "Everything O.

K. Come on." He left forthwith. Saturday night a note explained that he had been called out of the city on urgent business. Sunday evening a chum of Estabrook received a telegram from him dated Cincinnati, stating that he and Miss Walters had been married Sunday morning at the home of a relative of the bride. It is not likely the couple will return to St.

Louis, as the Exposition will be closed before the honeymoon Is over. DIDNT WANT THE BUNDLE. As Soon as She Saw Its Contents She Dropped It. This afternoon, when business was heaviest at the Terminal Station, and people were crowding In every direction to take their respective trains, an innocent-looking bundle slipped from beneath the arm of a stylishly dressed woman and fell to the platform, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. The buidle lay directly in the path of the people.

Many daintly gloved hands were extended toward the package, but withdrawn as the owners recollected themselves. A little knot of men formed around the package, trying to make the others think he had other business than watching the parcel.

The package was quickly undone, and, resting side by side, were a large slice of cheese and a half pint flask filled with liquor. Slipping the liquor into an Inside pocket, the man was about to walk off, when the same stylishly dressed woman came up to him. "I understand you have a package that belongs to me," she said. The man excused himself and went down Into his pocket.

The hand was withdrawn and extended toward the woman. She gave one look at the flask, and with a glance at the man that might have killed at forty yards, turned around and went to her train. New Women and Old Men. From the Chicago Post. New women have the floor to-day; Old men are seldom heard.
