NO LET UP TO THE
RUSH OF BUYERS,
fit. Louis Wholesalers in All Liucs
Are Eujojing a Phenomenal
Fall Business.
TRAINL0ADS GO TO FLORIDA.
List of Arrivals at Headquarters of
Interstate Merchants' Associa
tion Shows No
Fallint:
Oil in Numbers.
The rush of fall buyers to St. Louis still
continues, and the number of visitors 'who
register each day at the headquarters of the
Interstate Merchants' Association shows no
falling off.
A large number of them are from Arkan
sas but Missouri leads the list, and Illinois,
Iqna, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Indian
Territory and several of the Southern States
are well represented.
A solid tralnload of dry goods was shipped
to riorida, Wednesday by a St. Louis house,
and another train will be shipped later in
the season.
These Florida points were, formerly con
sidered the exclusive territory of Eastern
markets, but by persistent effort, low prices
and fair dealing St. Louis Jobbers succeeded
In setting a foothold. They were not slow
to follow up their advantage, and now most
of the trade from this territory comes to St.
Louis.
A majority of the milliners bavo finished
their buying and returned to their homes,
but a largo number are still In tho city and
the various wholesale houses are still com
pelled to work until late at night in order
to keep up with their order.
Hardware dealers reoort an unusually
heavy business In their line, and wholesale
druggists also report that they are doing
phenomenal business.
Heavy inroads ara being made on Chi
cago's trade in the Northwest In all lines,
and merchants In that section who try St.
Louis as a market cannot be induced to
go back to Chicago again.
Among the visitors who registered at the
headquarters of the Interstate Merchants'
Association yesterday were the following:

EXPOSITION WILL BE
CLOSED ON SUNDAYS.
Motion to Depart From the Rule of
Past Years Voted Down by
Uoard of Directors.
READY FOR OPENING MONDAY.
Tissot Collection of Pictures, Illus
trating the Life of Christ,
Viewed by the Clergy
Dailv Programme.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of
the St Louis Exposition held yesterday
afternoon It was decided that the Kxrjosl
tlon would not be opened to the public on
Sunday this year. It was not until ufter
com-lderablo debate that this decision wtis
finally arrived at. Owing to the fact that
one of the principal features of the exhibi
tion is a collection of sacred pictures, and
a plan to render sacred concerts every Sun
day, a number of th directors were in fa
vor of opening the Exposition on that day.
Arguments wero also brought out that
the open Sunday would afford an oppor
tunity to the working classes, who are con
fined by their occupations week days, to
visit the Exposition. It was held, on the
other hand, that it had always been a rulo
in preious years to close on the Sabbath,
so tho motion to open on Sundays was de
feated. The Exposition will bo opened on Mon
day. The work of nrranglnir displays and
exhibits has been going on for more than
a week and tho management expects to
hate everything In perfect readiness for
the opening. There are to be a number of
novel and interesting features, both in the
exhibits and specialties In the Jlui-Ic Hall
nnd Coliseum. President Galennie s-ays
that he believes the display this year will
equal, if not surpass, those of previous
J ears.
Yesterday the collection of pictures Illus
trating the life of Christ, by J. James Tl
sot. on exhibition In tho art halls of tho
Exposition building, nab visited by a largo
number of St. Louis ministers and priests.
Tho local clergy was especially invited by
the management of the Exposition to In
spect tho collection, so they could cxpres
their views on it and give their opinion as
to whether the Exposition should be opened
to the general public on Sundajs.
Dally 1'roKrtimiuc.
There was great enthusiasm displayed
oer the mugnlliccnt collection. The con
census of opinion that It surpassed any
thing of thu kind ever exhibited here. Uno
clergyman was overheard to remark that
the proper way to v.ew tho collection was
with a magnifying glass in one hand and
a testament in the other. In all. thtro are
4(2 pictures In the collection, which is ar
ranged in the two larse artrooms at tho
east end of the building, and the torridors
ncur them.
Among the exhibits which wero complet
ed yesterday were those of tho Grand
Trunk IJne and mineral displays from the
Missouri and Arkansas mining district.
The former consists of splendid photo
graphs of scenes taken in the region trav
ersed by the great Canadian .system, and
a number of niountid tlshes and specimens
of wild an.raal-. T.c mineral display, which
la located In the basement, con-dsts of
specimens of lead, copper and zinc ore from
the recently opened mining districts.

CRAZEDBY HYPNOTISM.
Giant Slrengtli Displayed by an
Unconscious Yoiilli.
ItEPUDMC srnciAL.
Itlchmond. Va.. Sept 14. The strange
power of hypnotism was demonstrated here
yesterday In a manner that was rather
startling. John Sweeney, a well-known
young man, was temporarily transformed
into a maniac by the effect of hypnotism. A
social party wa.t given by Mrs. W. J. Gil
man, nnd among the guests were Sweeney
and Calvin Cooke, tho latter an amateur
hypnotist. He proposed to give an exhibi
tion of his skill, and Sweeney consented to
bo the subject Sn sooner was the latter
under the spell, however, than he Imagined
himself a pugilist.
Ho began to maae a general attack upon
rill present without regard to sex. Ho soon
cleared the hou-e and then began to demol
ish tho front fence, using for the purpose
an ornamental urn weighing several hun
dred pound, which he handled as though It
were a toy. Slxte?n men piled on the mad
dened boy. but he threw them right und
left and began tearing his clothes off. A
hurry call was then turned in for the police
patrol wagon. It canto with five stalwart
officers.
The btrugglo then began anew and finally
resulted 4n the young man being handcuffed
and his feet tied together. His captors held
him on the ground while a physician admin
istered a hypodermic Injection of morphine.
He was then hurried to a hospital and un
bound, whereupon he fell upon an Iron bed
stead nnd broke It in pieces. More drugs
were administered and finally he was
quieted. To-day lie had returned to his nor
mal state, but was weak and nervous.
Sweeney has never been regarded as re
markablo for physical strength.

of its guiranteci Interest, have now been
placed upon the balance sheet through the
consolidation of the two companies. Xo
increase of fixed chargei la occasioned by
this arranjement. since the Missouri, Kan

"The gross turnings of the company wero

previous year of $W,1.TJ.
"The operating expenses were JS, rM.'SMl
showing an Increase of T31.1T0.2). resulting
In net earnings of JI.1M.KI.I7. being .1 de
crease, as compared with the previous year,
of FZ.ZOZM. The Increased charges of op
eration aro distributed over all the nut
lays In conducting the business of the com
pany with the exception of general t-x-.Tense.
This Is In a-cord with the general
experience of American railways, and repre
sents tho Increased prices of labor anil ma
terial during the xcrlod of unusual bu'iness
activity through which the country li is ju.it
passed. The volume of freight business
hhows a large percentage of Increase,
amounting to 171,102,5:5 ton mile?, chiefly
represented by Increased movement of
grain and of coal, both of which om
moditifs are transported nt low rates, with
tho retuilt that the average receipts per ton
mile were .S10 crnt-j as against .id cents
for the previous jcar. Tho tonnage of rot
ton mouil shows, on the other hand, a de
crvafce of l(,0w tons, or about IS per rent.
Had the olutne of tratilc In this hlgh-rlaxi
commodity equaled that of tho previous
year, the result would have been tn hae
prevented tho decrease in the average rale.
"Tho passenger earnings show a larse
Increase In passengers rarrled, a well as
In receipts, reflecting the general commer
cial activity.
"Of new railway connections established,
the iron imroit.ait was the cxtensicn of the
Shirmuti. Shrevenort ur.d Southern Hallway
to Shreveport, where connection Is mads
with tho liucen and Credent, extending
eastward across the Mississippi Itlver. It
U expected that the intimate relations thus
established between the two systems will
result In a material Increase of tralllc ex
change. This collection was effected on July
IS. after the close of tho fi.scal year.
"The importance of n. connection with San
Antonio has often been referred to In pre
ious reports. The construction of the short
line, about forty-eight mlle in length,
requisite l effect such connection, has now
been undertaken, and durln: the coming
year work will be pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible. The financial arrange
ments for the same have been made by an
additional Usuc of Mlsxouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway Company of Texas bonds,
the mortgage containing a provision for
the issue of these bonds on this piece of line
