Following the services, relics of the martyrs, bone fragments, were exposed for the veneration of those In attendance. A history of the work of the martyrs in America was printed In the Post-Dispatch last summer when their beatification was being accomplished at Rome as part of the ceremonies of the Holy Tear. One of the features of the. triduum was a prayer throughout the Jesuit order for a divine sign to follow exposition of the martyrs' relics.

His books had. if not a large sale, at least a wide distribution, and his name became known, more than 20 years ago. in the principal European centers of learning.

An Unpaid Teacher. But in St. Louis Dr. Snider was best known as a teacher for the greater part of his career an unpaid teacher, a modern Socrates. His classes were free to all who came, whether many or few, and the teacher would give copies of his books, w'hlch served as the textbooks, to any who could not afford to buy them.

The last meeting of Dr. Snider's class was held in Cabanne Library last Saturday, with Goethe as the theme, and another meeting had been announced for tomorrow afternoon. He was a native of Mount Gilead. and learned as a youth of the life and labors of "Johnny Arple-seed," the traveling philosopher, who in earlier years planted fruit trees In Ohio and Indiana, and whse biographer he became. He went to Oberlin College, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1SS2, and delivering his valedictory in Latin.

Oberlin. 32 years later, bestowed the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters upon him. After graduation. Snider, who was 21, enlisted in the Union Army, and served for a year. In 1864 he came to St.

Louis as lay teacher of ancient languages, literature, history and mathematics in Christian Brothers- College. Three years' service at that Institution was followed by a 10-year period of teaching in the St. Louis High School, then at Fifteenth and Olive streets. Km. George T.

related by Dr. Snider, until the census of 1SS0 showed Chicago to be the larger city. Dr. Snider believed Chicago was really larger in 1S70, and he recorded his belief that the census was padded here in that year, giving the "illusion" another decade of life. At the time of ths Chicago fire of 1S73, he related, many St.

Louisans were unable to conceal their belief that the hand of fate had intervened to remove a rival from the path of St. Louis. Carl Schun and Pulitzer. Chapters on "Carl Schurz of St. Louis" and "Joseph Pulitzer of St.

Louis" appear in "The St. Louis Movement." Dr. Snider wrote. "Schurx was the greatest Senator except Benton, that Missouri had in her first century of statehood." and "Pulitzer was the greatest master of journalism that has arisen in the United States." In 1S77. Snider resigned -hisbigh school teaching position, and he never returned to the work of institutional teaching.

Instead, he devoted his time and effort, in untiring measure and for meager returns, to the writing of books and to the teaching of those who wished to study his works.

Picturing life in an idealistic socialist state, George; Bernard Shaw wound up the Fabian Society's annual popular lecture course last night by declaring the standard day would be four hours' work, eight hours" sleep and four hours for drinking, dressing, undressing and a Httle resting.

That would leave eight hours for leisure.
