The cat was only a kitten a black, black kitten, with eyes that looked fiery under the shadow of the stage. When pursued it vanished into the unknown country of or boards and the leavings or everything beyond the orchestra seats. The darkness and weiidnes sof the place. combined with the fact that one had to climb down at the risk ff head-bumping to reacn the cat, made some of the huntresses change their minds. A newspaper man was called to the res cue.

Before he would help he persisted in asiung questions. "Why do vou want the cat?" "It's always running around here when me convention is in session." ell, hasn't a cat got a right to go to a. woman convention said the newspa Per man he clamhererl down the stlra He didn't catch the cat.

Other women in other parts of the room were far from "there." When the previous question was moved a woman in the back part of the room demanded Lpon what?"

Doubt if there were any like those of the Massachusetts building. In that quaint place, fashioned after the style of the Colonial days, guests were received by a direct descendant of John Al-den, the friend of Miles SUndlsh Mrs Mav Alden Ward, president of the Massachusetts state federation. With her were Mrs. C. A.

Fairbanks, Mrs. Anna D. West Mrs. E. R.

Reed Mrs L. J. Page, president of Dorchester club-Mrs. Washburn. Mrs.

Anderson and Misses Caroline Sweet, president of the Lawrence club; Helen Whittier and Ocortria Racon. To the Dutch room of the Massachusetts building they took their guests that they might rest and refresh. That Dutch room is itself a memorial of the thought-fulness of Massachusetts. Krrw why it Is? Massachusetts always wihe to remember the 13 years that the pilgrims spent in Holland before coming tfl America. The Dutch room is the wav she thanks Holland.

THERE are two Mrs. Perkins in the convention. One in Mrs. Sarah M. Perkins of Cleveland, Ohio.

The other ls Mrs. W. S. Perkins, state president Of Kentucky. They have different views on the subject of the reorganization of women.

When Mrs. McDowell finished her paper on the subject of "Organization Among Workin Women" Friday morning. Mrs. Perkins of Ohio was given the floor. She told of an organization of laundrv-women that had the best knowledge of parliamentary rules of any society she ever saw.

She advised the organization of women all over the country. Other women demanded to be heard on the question. Among them wia a tall, handsome woman In the Kentucky delegation. The "residing officer. Mrs.

Nathan, asked the Kentucky woman's name. "Mrs. Perkins of Kentucky." replied the handsome womp.n. "Another Mrs Perkins: this time from Kentnckv." said tbe speaker, by way of recognition, and Mrs. Perkins made the "home" talk that stirred the convention to its depths.

Applause rood and hearty was hers when she said. "The thing American women need Is not so much organization as the knowledge of home-making." Her words were remembered when she enme on the stage In the afternoon to give her state report. "That's Kentucky." sa'd Mrs. Mitchell of Mr own delegation, aind the women who had been listening sllentlv to the "reports" gave Mrs. Perkins a hand-clapping start.

Members of the French commlaagon are proud of the exhibit that Louis Leopold Dreyfus, "le rol des bles," the wheat kina; of France, ls making in the Agricultural building. M. Michel Lagravo the commissioner general of France, ha given the plac of honor In the French agricultural section to the Dreyfus wheat exhltbc It constat of a large pavilion decorated with great sheaves of golden wheat. Inside are aam pies of wheat grown In the different countries where there are Dreyfus wheat interests. Those countries are from one end of the earth to the other, and wheat grown In Australia.

The samples are so arranged that a student may learn much of the wheat productions, of the relative value of the productions of wheat countries, a well examine the analyses of wheat made bv celebrated chemists. The story of the French wheat Ring. U9 told by members of the French commission is Interesting. He is now a man of 72 vears of age, immensely wealthy and much honored by France.

He has been made chevalier de la legion d'honneur and Is consul-general of Roumania. Began Life a Poor Boy. The political and financial world of Franc Is glad of his friendship and the salons of his hotel on the Champs Elysees and hi beautiful country home at St. Germain have many visitors. Fifty-four years ago he was a poor Swls boy.

He began to support himself at the age of 16 and ls an European example of a self-made man. He began by dealing small quantities of wheat. He recognised the grest possibilities of that cereal and was well enough versed In wheat coi.diilons to never buy more than he could readily sell. He was satisfied to sell 8t a small but sure advantage. Each year as the production of wheat Increased tils dealings and his profits both became' larger.

His manner of dealing in wheat caused at veritable revolution, lie was the first of his kind. His success was marked. Others were jealous and be had to cope mifh enmity. With much good faith nnd ripe Intelligence ho continued undaunted in his experiment. Switzerland became too small for the field of his activities- He went to Paris and from that point established hcuses ell over the civilized world.

Ills employes In Paris alone number His agencies are in the hand of men. Handles 56,000,000 Bushels Yearly. Each year his men handle quintals of wheat, or 56,000.000 bushels. It tkf 1000 steamer to carry this wheat. On hundred csirgo boats are kept busy carrying wheat on ail the seas and the large rivers of Europe.

The French commission would be much pleased If the wheat king would visit tli Exposition, but his age Is such they think It unlikelv. M. J. de Ii Guerra, who represents M. Dreyfus at the opening of the French pavilion, expects that one of M.

Dreyfus' sons will visit St. Louis at th time the prizes are awarded. In concluding the account of his life bl friends always add: lie Is the tsther of elifht children and many grandchildren, and has the greatest qoalities of a man great business man and good citizen."

aa fixe tin to i WHITE HOUSE CHARGED WITH INTERFERENCE Republican Peeling So Bitter Party May Lose to Conservative Democrats Review of Extraordinary Conditions Prevailing in These Commonwealths. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, May 21. That Theodore Roosevelt, as would-be dictator to the Republican party, is imperiling the success of Theodore Roosevelt as candidate for Presidenti al the polls next November is the fear of Republicans in Illinois and Wisconsin, and the fear finds an echo in the hearts of their brethren In Iowa. These three states, with a total vote of 63 In the electoral college, up to a few days ago, have been counted as safely in the Republican column.

Developments In each state this week have revolutionized the political outlook, and leading Democrats here now say that If the Democratic National Convention nominates a conservative, such as Judge Parker or Grover Cleveland, for President, they will have more than a fighting chance in Illinois and Wisconsin, with a strong possibility that Iowa may join in the expected landslide. The developments which have thus rai.fcj the hopes of the Democrats came in the three state convention this week. They are brief: In Illinois the attempts of Speaker Cannon, chairman of the convention, and Senators Cullom and Hopkins to dictate who shall be the nominee for governor, their efforts resulting in most remarkable deadlock in the history of the state. In isconsin, the bolting of the regular Republican state convention by Senators Spooner and Qua-ries and Congressman Babcock, chairman of the National Congressional Campaign Committee, and the giving of their powerful support to a rival state ticket. In Iowa the rejection of a tariff plank indorsed by Secretary Shaw and Senator Allison containing concessions to the popular demand for revision and the adoption of a plank of the hardest kind of a pat'' nature.

All the men named are recognized, not only in their own states, but throughout the country, a3 spokesmen of the national organization; therefore, it is arguel by dissatisfied Republicans, that their surprising tactics must have the indorsement of President Roosevelt, if, indeed, their Inspiration does not come directly from the White House. At present this dissatisfaction is only a rumbling, but conservative Democrats confidently expect that, by next November, it will be turned into an avalanche of voles which will again give the nation a Democratic administration. Danger Greatest in Illinois and Wisconsin. V. i ruin a jl 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1 niattuyuiui! 1 impending dangfcj is greatest in Illinois and Wisconsin.

In Iowa, the party has al ready rebuked Roosevelt attempted dictation in a striking manner. It is undis-nuled that Secretary Shaw and Senator Allison went 'to Dos Moines as the autlioiizfxi representatives of the national nuiiiiiKa.i'LU'J.i, aim ijrvviwn vi UJCii t.uiil plank, hence, carried with it a direct lap at Roosevelt. The tight has opened a wul rit't in the party ranks in the Hawkeye state, and upon this is based Democratic belief in the possibility of triumph a belief which would have "been pronounced chimerical one week ago. In Illinois, Speaker Cannon and senators Cuikiru and Hopkins have been active partisans of Col. Frank O.

Lowden, one of the three leading candidates in the gubernatorial deadlock. Working with them have been United States Marshal Char.es P. Hitch and Sol ISethea, with a lnre force of deputy marshals. So Birong Is the opposition to Col. Low- ejnoi? the corporation candidate, and so general is the belief in the source the inspiration of the dis-t-SfJlr )N aahlngtonUns working in his i'V! 1'ad ng Republican news-hica, "aid to have sent President Roosevelt a most emphatic tele-fZZTLr.

1901. The difference in their religion, he being a Russian churchman and she being a Lutheran, was the principal cause of the Czar's objection to the marriage. When the war broke out Duke Cyril announced his purpose of going to the front and winning his spurs in the hope the Czar would consent to the marriage. All Russia resounded with bis name when he escaped from tho Petropavlovsk, and the Czar, an an evidence of his favor, gave-the long-hoped-for permission. LIKELY TO SWITCH TO PARKER Hearst Boom to Be Killed by Early Indorsement of Kilbonrne in Convention.

POST-niFPATCH Bt'EKAC. 1345 Avenue. WASHINGTON, May 21. Ohio, at its convention on Thursday, probably indorse Kilbourne. thus killing the Hearst boom in that state, although Hearst has four delegates to.

St. IOuis and will prob ably keep them. Tom Johnson is a big factor in the situation there. He will control 11S of the delegates to the siate convention, and. whi.e he declines to say what he will do, he has made it plain that he is against Hearst.

Ohio will switch to Parker if he appears to be the choice of the convention, but he must be in the lead to get the state at St. Louis. The situation In Illinois ls so mixed, because of the Hopkins-Hearst alliance, that there is no telling what wi.l happen before the slate convention on June 14. Hopkins hopes that the Parker sentiment will be as strong by that time, and that Hearst will be so Oead. that there will be no trouble, but Harrison hits vlce-presl-dcntlal ambitions and is cloaking them with his little lot of delegates for Representative Williams.

It is an open fight there yet. The Hearst men are making great claims In Michigan. Dan Cumpuu says the state will be against Hearst, and he should know. There is doubt If it will Instruct for Parker, but it is believed that Hearst will be beat. n.

The convention is June 1. The South shows no disposition as yet to Instruct for Parker. If Alabama and Tenness-e are for Parkc-r next Wednesday, it will help muW-naHy. Mixoisaippl will instruct for Parker on Jane 15 and Georgia is expected to do the same on June The probability is that most of the Southern States will nnd unlnstruct-d delegwtes to St. Iyiuis.

Stewart to create the part of Davy Crockett, who will be the most picturesque character in the historical extravaganza. Mr. Stewart combines the artistic temperament of the singer with the ability of the athlete. He is as strenuous as Davy ever dared to be, and during his spare moments in the season spends his time on the football field. He has but recently recovered from a broken ankle while playing center with Swarthmore College against Princeton.

Davy Crockett's advice was: "Be sure you're right, and then go ahead." Mr. Stewart's is: "Ixjok for the weakest spot and then go through it." It was only last fnll that Mr. Stewart resigned the presidency of the American" School of Opera to go back to college, a he felt the atmosphere of school life, with the study and athletic work, would be of VACCINATiON CAUSES TO This May Sound Queer, but It Is No Joke to Fair Restaurant Men. RATTLING dishes and broken fragments plates, cups and saucers prevail in World's Fair restaurants and cafes and the health commissioner of St. Louis is held accountable therefor.

A corps of physicians, who quote Dr. Simon as their authority, have been traveling over the Exposition grounds with a case of vaccine tips in their pockets, and the broken dishes are the trail they have left behind them. Waiters with sore arms cannot handle dishes. That is a settled fact among restaurant men. and It is pointed to as the reason for many dish disasters during the past week which guests have been prone to blame to awkwardness.

The doctors have orders to vaccinate every World's Fair employe. In spite of protests, they have forced workmen in all departments into line, and ten days ago they began the campaign among the waiters. The vaccine lias proven active and now the men who juggle dishes for a living find their tkillfulness gone. Every time they move a cringing pain shoots downward from their shoulders. Carrying a.

tray of dishes across a dining room is as bad for them as having a tooth pulled. The Inside Inn is said to have been a special sufferer during the past week. i HALF RATE FOR FAIR STQCKHOL National Commission Holds Coupon Privilege a Violation of Contract With Government.
