Never in the history of the city has a street been in a more wretched condition. In the dark the ruts loom up like the shafts of an abandoned mine.

Broods Over the Murder of His Mother by His BrotHer Thomas. The ex-soldler known as Harold C. Syl- vester, who committed suicide last ‘Wednesday evening by swallowing car- bolic acid in St. Patrick's Church, has been identified as Dennis Splain, whose relatives live at 1307 Blddle street, St. Louis. The discovery of his identity was made by Deputy Public Administrator Newbert when examining the contents of the truni left in. the room of the dead man. There were a large number of letters addressed to Dennis Splain and several clippings p\ngs told how Thomas Spiain of 17T Bladle street had brutally murdered his aged mother last December by knocking her dewn and kicking her prostrate body until he had broken seven ribs and frac- tured her skull. The cause for the as- sault was the fact that his mother nad reproved him for coming home drunk. Thomas Splain was 23 years old and his mother 57. The tragedy occurred last De- cember, and Splain’s friends are trying to prove that he was insane. Among the, letters was one from his sister Lizzie, who signs herself ‘‘Black Bess,” breaking the news to Dennis of the murder of her mother at the ‘“‘hands and feet” of ‘‘Brother Tom.” Lizzie's husband_was recently convicted of burs- lary in St.. Louls and sentenced to serve a long term of years in the penitentiary. The young wife is only 19 years old. Dennis Splain, the suicide, was a_ dls- F, Fifth Light Artillery, which saw service at the siege of Peking. It is supposed he brood- ed over the tragic fate of his mother and the disgrace of his family until he re- solved to kill himself. T A Sunday Outing.

Mrs. with her people by her watchful care and interest in their welfare and well being. Her generosity in so many Instances has greatly endeared her to them. Such kin‘-| ly treatment tends to make life sweeter and better, and if all employers were as considerate and thoughtful we would sel- dom hear of strikes or labor troubles of any descrintion. To this in a measure may be ascribed her great success as a business woman, added to her dignified and business-liké attention to every de- tail of the great business she so success- fully controis. @ iiriniiiriisieiniidini e @ delights of doing ground and lofty bounc- ing. % Jerome Bassity.

It was their wont to travel out the avenue en route to the park, but the continual bumping made them imagine they were suffering from maldemer. A well-known horseman took a day off yesterday to count the holes in one block in order to make his complaint to the Board of Works good and strong. He started out valiantly, but before he had counted thirty squaré feet he was seized with dizziness and had to quit. And others have had the same experience. B ADVERTISEMENTS.

Hazen yesterday United States District Attorney Woodworth en- | tered a nolle prosequi in the case of the United States against Mrs. Kate Bair on the charge of passing counterfeit dollars.

She claimed that she Knew noth- ing as to the source from whfch the money had been obtained, except that she | believed her husband. had won it atthe races. Ulysses G. Bair pleaded guilty to the in- dictment charging him with making, hav- ing in his possession and passing coun- terfeit dollars.
