There an aristocratic gentleman of about 60, with all the cultured gallantry of the nineteenth century, but dressed in twentieth century golf tweeds, won many an admiring glance of the passengers on the Matrimonial Limited, and I worried lest I lose some member so early on the trip before we could decide on the fall styles In trousseau. After a refreshing night, we of the Matrimonial Express started on our way to Los Angeles via Pittsburgh Just as another perfect day dawned. The sun peeped over the horizon, melting dew that looked suspiciously like frost on the fields.

What could be lovelier than traveling in fall with trees in their autumn splendor? Large flocks of turkeys leisurely strolling down country lanes reminded us that holidays are nearly here, and no one knows yet just what good Christmas dinners we can cook. We pass the tablet which reads Gettysburg, July 2, 3, 1863. The United States has converted the battlefield, site of a most noteworthy action, into a national cemetery, and we pause there for a moment. Then to Gettysburg National Park and on to Chambersburg, where mail from a lonesome Kansas City gentleman of 46 and no bad habits, invites us to be sure to stop over at Kansas City on our trip. A Philadelphian, 42 years and lonely, Insists that Philadelphia is the city for us to reside in-, and a Columbus, Ohio, man, with fluttering heart and faltering pen, undertakes to persuade us that Columbus is the city for our future home.

So in Chambersburg for the night, with great anticipation of the friends we are to meet in Pittsburgh, where we plan to stay for two dayr, before going to Los Angeles through Wheeling, Columbus, Lexington, St. Louis, Memphis, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, Albuquerque and on to California.

Writing E. D. Bell, chairman of the Missouri Utility Committee, Sheridan informed him, under date of December 6, 1821, he would meet soon with the faculty of the engineering school of Washington University. "Meanwhile," Sheridan said, "will you think of a plan of what we want the university to do for us, what we want them to teach, and what the committee will do for the university." In a subsequent letter to C. C.

Ilelmers, Maryville, Sheridan said Dean McCourt of the engineering school and the professors "were extraordinarily warm to our proposition" at the meeting. He said they had decided on a course of lectures to be given in the university and were preparing the papers.

SCHOOL GIRL HEARS HER BEAU HAS WIFE AND KILLS HERSELF Dolores Malcher Removes Canary From Room, Then Tarns on Gas. CHICAGO, Oct. 4.

Dolores was considered to be the prettiest girl at Waller High School. But she didn't go around with the boys at the school. Whenever she wanted to go to or to theaters she went with Charley Tennis. Tennis was ten years her elder and had a sport model roadster. Yesterday Dolores met Paul Stanford, Tennis' roommate, Stanford told her Tennis was married.

Dolores cried when she reached home. Then she went to the home of a friend, Audrey Helm. The Helms were not home, but the girl found the keys and let herself in. She went to the kitchen, moved a canary to another room of the house, closed the doors and turned on the gas. The Helms found her body when they returned home.

The colorful kingdom of dreams and phantasy which has been in the making half a century in St. Louis has a new Queen of Love and Beauty today. His Mysterious Majesty, the Veiled Prophet, having honored his far-flung dominion in the west by his yearly visit, is now on his way back with his retinue to Khorassan, that pleasingly indefinite land of the Orient, where jasmine perfumes the breezes. But he has left a queen, 20-year-old Miss Mary Ambrose Smith, to represent during the year to come those ideals of benevolence and good nature for which he stands. Miss Smith, a descendant in two lines of Pierre Laclede Liguest, a founder of St.

Louis, will be his vicar In the benevolent surveillance which he has exercised over the city since he found it, half a century ago, stricken with fever and burdened by memories of the Civil War. No Mere Make-Believe. So long has the tradition of the Veiled Prophet been in the growing, and so deeply have his Ideals rooted themselves in the hearts of St. Louisans, that they have acquired a reality which surpasses mere make-believe. The Golden Jubilee, which celebrated the establishment of his kingdom in St.

Louis and which reached its climax last night In the Veiled Prophet ball at the Coliseum, was, therefore, more than a pageant. It showed that in the city there has grown up a realm of the spirit of imagination, parallel to the workaday world, but a realm in which St. Louis can satisfy its hunger for beauty, chivalry and romance. St. Louis did so last night, as 10,000 persons crowded into the Coliseum, filling seat and packing the aisles behind the balconies and between the boxes.

Bankers and merchants and their families, escaping from a civilization not vet old enough to have its own full-blown traditions, lived for a few hours amid Oriental splendor, paid homage to their Prophet, and applauded their Queen of Love and Beauty in a world where all things move tranquilly and in order. What wonder if some of the beauty of this ideal realm sifts through Into the St. Louis of sidewalks and skyscrapers? Larger Crowd This Year. It was a good-natured, urbane crowd at the ball last night, and larger than that of last year. Perhaps its size and enthusiasm was due in part to the fact that this year the consciousness of a Cardinal victory surcharged the air instead of the memory of a devastating tornado.

Between the decorative scheme of the ballroom and the dresses of many of the women, the interior of the Coliseum was a dazzling array of color. The occasion of the Golden Jubilee dictated that gold should predominate In the settings, and red was used as a secondary color, with minor effects in other hues. The thrones of the Prophet and his consort were set in a recessed mosque, supported by two vertical pylons, and finished in a rough crystal effect, the surface of which glistened as if embedded with jewels when white and yellow spotlights were thrown upon it. Besides the dominant colors, green, blue and purple entered into its lavish design. Purple-carpeted stairs led to platforms for the ladies and maids of honor and the Krewe of the Prophet, and to the da.s.

Most Lavish The walls were bedecked in gold and red and the ceiling was draped in light blue, checkered with gold-colored flouncing. The initials, appeared repeatedly in decorative motifs. At the opposite end cf the floor a three-arched entrance cf the tame material and colors as the mosque, afforded entrance to the Prophet and the subjects' who were honored to the extent cf being allowed to participate in the cere monies. The most lavish setting I have eer seen," was the opinion expressed by a woman who attended the first ball fifty years Ego. The crowd itself added color to the scene, for the ball, as the first large social event of the season, is likewise something of a fashion show.

Although men on the ball room floor or balcony were obliged to appear in full dress, there was an almost unlimited variety in i women's evening gowns. One-Color Gowns Popular.

This latter sentence is intended apparently to convince each Protestant receiving the letter, that a mistake was made in his case and that he has unearthed a plot. The main letter says: "You are, of course, aware of the fact that our loyal friend and true son of Holy Church, Dr. John H. Simon, has organized the German-American Smith for President League. This suggestion made by Sir John J.

Raskob, chamberlain to his holiness, has been carried out in splendid fashion, and there has not been the slightest suspicion on the part of the public that we have anything to do with the matter. Of this you may rest absolutely assured. We realize, of course, the delicacy of your position, and you need not fear that you will be involved in any way. "As a loyal son of Holy Church, however, we know that you will want to do your duty and that you will be glad to co-operate with Dr. Simon at the proper time.

"Catholics Must Save Day." "During his recent visit to St. Louis, Sir John impressed it on us in the strongest terms that the electoral votes of Missouri may decide whether Holy Church or Its enemies are to rule America. We, with all due respect to Sir John, say that St. Louis may decide the issue. The campaign of various heretical so-called Christian ministers has aroused a great amount of opposition to Holy Church and its greatest leader in the rural districts of this state.

The vote in St. Louis can and must save the day. Every loyal subject of the Holy Father must do his duty, regardless of party affiliations. Sir John has made this very clear, and he was speaking for His Holiness, as you doubtless know. "Yours for the greater glory of Holy Church.

A six-month-old baby died of starvation in its mother's arms because the mother, deserted by her husband a month ago, was unable to procure food or medical attention, the police reported today. The child was Frances, daughter of Mrs. Rose Puleo, 8124 Vulcan avenue.

The police investigated the case at the request of the health department. They were informed that the child had died and that there was no money to pay for iti buriaL They summoned the Southern Undertaking Company, official undertaken for the city in all such cases, and the undertaking company notified the health department. When it was found that no physician bad attended the baby, the case -automatically became one 'or the coroner and the investigation was ordered. Mrs. Puelo has four other children.

She and Puelo had been married ten years, she said, when he walked away from the ramshackle portable house that was their home, the Tuesday after Labor Day, saying he was going "to get some whisky." He did not return. Charitable organizations and neighbors furnished her with food from time to time, the mother declared, but by the time the four older children were fed, there was little or nothing left for the baby. It became weak, caught cold and died. But the prime cause of death wa not the cold, Mrs. Puelo is sure.

It was lack of food, she declared. WIFES $50,000 SUIT SAYS WOMAN ENTICED HUSBAND Mrs. Elizabeth G. Buttweiler today filed suit against Mrs. Surfe B.

HEIRS WIN $4,000 17 YEARS AFTER MULE KILLED MAN Defense Asserts Animal Was Not 'Blue Meaning Bad May Still Appeal. Seventeen years ago a "blue" mule kicked William Dausch in the back of the head.

Dausch died and his heirs sued for $10,000. Today the heirs, who have dwindled in number from five to two, received an award of $4,000. However, seventeen years of liti- gation may not settle the case. The defendant, the St. Louis Brewing Association, has the right to appeal and may do so.

A "blue" mule, the jury in Circuit Judge Rcsskopf's court, were told, is a bad mule, one that may not be trusted. Dausch, a hostler at the Wainwright brewery, entered the stall to water the animal and was kicked. A year after his death Dausch's widow filed suit for $10,000. The brewing association, pointing out that the suit should have been filed within six months after the death, filed a demurrer which was sustained. The case was dismissed.

An amended petition was filed, end there was a demurrer to that. Two more amended petitions and the case went to the Missouri Supreme Ccurt on the question of whether the suit was legal. The plaintiff's lawyer died. Another lawyer took the case and then left town. Mrs.

Dausch died. Then Miss Anne M. Evans, an attorney, heard of the case. She found the suit had been filed In the name of Mrs. Dausch and four children, minors, two of whom had dropped out of the case.

She pointed this out to the supreme court, which held last October that the children, being minors at the time of the death of their father, could file suit any time until they became of age. A writ of error was returned in the findings cf the lower court. Yesterday tha trial started and today it was concluded. The defense contended the mule that kicked Dausch was a kind mule, a gentle mule, not "blue" at alL but a soft gray or brown. The Judy awarded $4,000 to Mrs.
