THE ST. LOTJIS REPUBLIC: SUNDAY. KPEITJ 10, I00r A, F. '.S IS? It I v RUPTURE OF CHILDREN. The ruptures of ohUdhood are of .till greater urgency than In the adult. as hernia. In the active and reckless little ones, who make the sunshine of our hearts and homes. In very fatal, and. unhappily, very common. In the Hospital for Ruptured and Crippled. New York, one-fourth of the entire number of hernias received and treated were those of children under 14. The younger the patient when treatment is begun, the shorter the time necessary to effect a cure. To neglect these cases Is criminal, as even when the children survive they are incapacitated for life from entering the army or navy, from any ac tive and many responsible positions, while girls are rendered unfit to become wives. My treatment Is singularly successful with children, whom I take from earliest Infancy. Very few treatments are all that is necessary to restore to them tho heritage of a sound and perfect constitution. In conclusion. It cannot be too urgently pointed out that hernia, whether exhibited In man, woman or child. Is a disease that It never pays to neglect. It Is not so easy in these days to secure a competence and prenide for family, old age and death even under the most favorable circumstances. How great Is tho difficulty Increased when handicapped by the constant gnawing of this terrible disease. There Is no age, sex or station in life that can afford to ignore these facts. As a mere business speculation it Is better to call on me at once and avail yourself of the cure I offer, at a moderate expense. What, in deed. Is the latter but a mere trifle when compared to the risks, humiliations and wretchedness ever attendant upon him who pays host to a rupture? Nor can yoa afford to delay, as you cannot tell what evil a day may bring forth. Now is the time, before the hot weather starts In; besides, to-morrow, next week or next month may be too late, as strangulation may end your life at any moment.

The True Story of the Invention of Wilson's Common Sense Ear Drams Told by Geo. H.WlIson, the Inventor. I was deaf from infancy. Eminent doctors, surgeons and ear specialists treated me at great expense snd yet did rn no rood. I tried all the artificial appliances that claimed to re store hearing, but they failed to benefit me in the least. I even went to the best spe cialists In the world, but their efforts were unavailing. My case was pronouncea jncunuHei I grew desperate: my deafness tormented me. ro!ir I vm Tweomlnr more of c. recluse, avoid ing the companionship of people because of the annoyance mv deafness and sensitiveness caused me. nnaiiy i Drgaa iu cj.u.-uuiciib mi uijaci. and after patient years of study, labor . and r tonal expense I perfected something that round took the place of the natural ear drums, and I railed It Wilton's Common Sense Bar Drum, which I now wear day and night with perfect comfort, and do not even have to remove them when washing. No one can tell I m wearing them, as they do not show, and Mm they give no discomfort whatever I scarcely know it myself. With these drums I can now hear a whisper. I Join tn the general conversation and hear everything coins on around me. I can hear a sermon or lecture from any part of a large church or ball. My aeneral health Is Improved because of the great change my Ear Drums hart made In my life. My spirits are bright and cheerful. I am a cured, changed man. Since my fortunate discovery it is no longer necessary for any deaf person to carry a trum pet, a tube, or any other snob old-fashion makeshift. Mr Common sense Ear Drum Is built on the strictest scientific principles, con tains no metal, wires, or strings of any kind, and s entirely new and up to date in alt re spects. It Is so small that no one can see It when In poeltlon. yet It collects all the sound waves and focuses them against the drum head, causing you to hear naturally and perfectly. It will do this even when the natural ear drums are partially or entirely destroyed, perforated, scarred, relaxed, or thickened. It fits any ear. from childhood to old age. male or female, and aside from the fact that-It does not show. It never causes the least Irritation, and can be vstd with comfort day and night without re moval for any cause.

E MAY FIGHT TRUST Line of PefriRerator Steamers to Bring Beef and Mutton to United States. ENGLAND USES THIS MEAT. Trip From Buenos Ayros 'ev York City Can lie Made Three Days Quicker. Rnrt'Bt.ic sr-EciAU New York, April D. Beef and mutton from the Argentine Republic, by the ship load, to be sold here in competition with the products controlled by the Beef Trust, Is the promise held out by a syndicate of capitalists, who have obtained concessions, secured options and laid plans for opera tion on a large scale. At the ofllce of the Consul General from Argentina, in the Produce Exchange build ing. It was said that contracts Inivo been made for a slto for a large refrigerating plant and wharves for ocean-going steam ships to carry beef and mutton to this port. According to the information which has reached the Consul General. Scnor It. Al varez de Toledo, a line of refrigerator steamers is to bo established between Buenos Ayres and New York, and beef equal to the beat product of our Western plains Is to be shipped here. Lamb and 'mutton that will hold its own with Can ada's best is Included In the project. TO CUT TRUST PRICES. It is said that the beef and mutton will be offered here at prices considerably less than those maintained by the Beef Trust. In European markets beef and mutton from the Argentlno Republic have been In keen competition with American meats for several years. Shipped from the South American Re public in refrigerator steamers to J.ondon, Liverpool and other ports, beef has sold In large quantities at from 6 to 8 cents wholesale. The Beef Trust has met theso prices abroad, but has Invariably obtained higher rctos here. There have been no less than live groups of capitalists and persons Interested in beef and provisions who have made in quiries at the Argentine Consulate during the last year regarding the shipment of meat products here. "We are not at liberty to give the names of the persons who have obtained the con cession." said a representative of Senor de Toledo yesterday. "We were called upon about three months ago by a man who later went to Argentine, and after spend ing two months there Investigating the business of exporting beef ana mutton has returned to this city. PLANT IS ESTABLISHED. "We are Informed that he has pur chased a site for a refrigerating and pack ing establishment and has a concession covering the exporting of beof and other products. "Our Government offers every induce ment to American investors who wish to engage in business in Argentine. We do not know how soon steamers will be bringing beef here, but It Is bound to come." Official statistics complied by the Min ister of Agriculture of the Republic of Argentina give the total exports of beef for 1903 as 1.01J.SS5 quarters. The exports of lamb and mutton for the year were 3.-C7.783, carcasses. This large business has been built up Blnce 1SS3. when the flrst re frigerating plant was established in jjuenos Ayres. There are now five large concerns operating there. They are the River Platte itresn .Meat Company, the oansmena Kerrlgeratlng Company, the Las Faunas Produce Company, E. Terras son and the La Blanca Company. In 1302 Edward and William V. Casey of London attempted to combine the Argen tine companies and form an alliance with the Beef Trust of this country, covering the foreign trade. The attempt failed. GOOD CHEAP BBEP. Beef of good quality is sold in Buenos Ayres at 251 cents per pound on the hoor. The very best beef for export purposes Is sold at 3 cents a pound, while poorer grades are quoted as low as Hi cent a pound. Mutton Is quoted at about J3.C0 per carcass, or about 3 cents a pound. .. tall beef of good quality In Argen tina, may be had for 22 cents a kilo Argen tine money, which la equivalent to about VI cents a pound American money. Mut ton retails at R4 cents. It Is claimed that steamers can nuts the trip to this port in three days less than from Buenos Ayres to London, and that Argentine beef can be delivered here cheaper than In Eng land. Considerable rwcrecy Is maintained as to the Individuals who compose the syndicate which has undertaken the Importation of Argentlno beef. Offices have been opened In the Produce Exchange Annex by the international Live Stock Products Com pany, capitalized at H.000.000. O. B. Black burn, secretary and treasurer of the com pany. Is the man who recently spent two months In the Argentine Republic study ing the export beef question. He returned last week. When seen Mr. Blackburn said: "we have contracted for the purchase of a site for a plant at Quenquen, near Buenos Ayres. A protect to build a harbor for light-draft vessels there was under way. We have Induced the company to make It a harbor where ocean Fteamcrs may land. This work Is now under way. We expect to ship refrigerated beef and mutton here In the early future, but I am not at liberty to discuss our plans at this time." Mr. Blackburn is said to represent East em and Western capitalists who are al ready Interested In provision and packing houses, but are not allied with the Beef Trust. MISSING LINK lU PLANTS. University of Chicago Professor Thinks He Has Found It. REPUBLIC SPECIAU Chicago, April . A plant, which may prove valuable to botanists as a "miss ing link," has been brought to the Uni versity of Chicago by Professor Charles J. Chamberlain, who recently returned from an expedition to Jalapa, Mexico, where grows the only patch In the world of this rare species. He secured six of the large, pine applelike fruits, which he expects to study with a view toward establishing a rela tion between modern plants of the pine and fern families and the extinct ferns of geological ages. "This plant Is known to botanists as the "dloon.' a genus of the 'cycadu' fam ily," said Doctor Chamberlain. "They are the lowest order of the seed-bmLrinir plants, and are the nearest related to the extinct plants of geological times. "The plants are like big ferns or some kinds of palms In appearance, with a thick trunk, 6 or 8 feet high from the top of which spring great leaves 6 feet long. Each of the fruits contains nearly 300 sued?. The natives crush these Into a, meal, which, mixed with flour and meat, they use In making 'tamales.' " PRIZE FIGHT IN NEW YORK.

HUSBAND ONLY TWENTY-EIGHT She Was Margaretta Johnson and Says She Never Knew Lore Until She Met Ga briel. REPUBLIC SPECIAL. New Tork, April 9. Tn the marriage of Gabriel Abu Kalll, a Syrian, who came to this country ten years ago, and Miss Mar garetta Johnson of Buffalo, who In the seventy years of her splnsterhood has ac cumulated a fortune of more than half a million dollars, there Is a most remark- ablo union of youth with age. After a courtship of several years the marriage was solemnized on February 4 In the Church of St. Chrysostom, at Sev enth avenue and Thirty-ninth street, by the Reverend Thomas Henry BUI, rector of the church. Since that time Mr. Kalll has continued to keep his apartment in the Hotel Marie Antoinette, while his aged bride has cpent most of the intervening tlma In Buffalo. She Is said to be closing uo her affairs there, with the purpose of eoon coming to New York to make her home with her husband. It was while the young Svrian was sell ing Orontal Jewelry in Buffalo that Miss Junnsson met him. She soon became Inter ested In his personality far more than in his ware?. That was between five and six oars ao. Although before she met Kalll notnlng had been farther from Miss John son's thouuhts than matrimony, she found that she had become so attached to the young man that her life was Incomplete without htm. It appears to have been about two years ago tnat tne suDject or marriage nrst De gan to be discussed between them. Such of her friends as she took Into her conll decce warned Miss Johnson against tak ing the step and pointed to tho difference in their ages and to the fact that while she was wealthy the Syrian was compara tively poor But protests of all sorts were useless In turning her from her purpose. HAPPT FOR THE FIRST TIME. Until a few days ago the marriage was kept so close a secret that hardly anyone was aware of it. At the Marie Antoinette, where Mr. Kalll has been living for the last year, there was a great surprise when It was learned that he was no longer a baohelor, and In Buffalo tho announce ment of the marriage will be startling news to a large circle of Mrs. Kalll's friends. "Why shouldn't I marry whom I please?" Mrs. Kalll asked one of the .few persons whom she has taken Into her confidence. "I have far more money than I need, and not a relative nearer than a third cousin or two. to whom I am under no sort of obligation. If I cboose to fall In lote, even though I am almost an old woman, that Is mv Own affair. I am abso lutely happy for the first time In my life. In fact. I never before knew what real happiness was." Mrs. Kalll has. always had enough money so that she could live comfortably and gratify her taste for literature and the arts, but it is within the last few years thai she has made the bulk of her ON CREDI AT GATEIY3 the handsomest colors and latest shape- Made up in all the most popular a topcoat for warm display at $18 and $22. extraordinarily handsome patterns- ome patterns $15.00 $22; also cheaper lines at $10 and NEW SPRING 8UITS fancy all-wool mixtures, Eton $14.90 fitted waists, braid trimmed two-piece suits for the little fel iuics tor iue mue iei- $2.98 patterns ..- We fortune. She not only Invested In Buffalo real estate, but she had the courage to hold her property In the face of a falling market until finally her foresight was re warded most handsomely. Among her other holdings was a farm, of nearly one hundred and fifty acres In West Seneca, which she picked up at a bargain a few years ago, paylngonly a few thousand dollars for it. When the Lackawanna Steel Company located at Buffalo her property became much sought after and she was able to sell a little more than fifty acres for J156.00O. She was piid gltj In cash and took a mortgage for 175.000 for the remainder of the purchass price. This mortgage was paid recently and the proceeds have been reinvested in Iew York securities, MR. KALIL9 RESTAURANT. It Is said by Joshua H. Flero of No. 100 William street. Mrs. Kalll's attorney in New Tork. that she has retained the management of tho major part of her fortune, although doubtless her young husband has been assisted In bis business ventures. Mr. KalU's chief venture at present Is a downtown restaurant. It has been In op eration for nbout a year now, and has been so succensf ul that recently two other floors of the building have been leased and plans have been made to extend the scope of the business. SU1I. this business does not occupy sllof Mr. Kalll's time. He has a brother, who has had experience In the restaurant busi ness, who looks alter me aeiaiis ior mm. leaving him freo to make frequent, though brief, visits to Atlantic City. There he Is weil known ftt the St. Charles Hotel, where he Is looked upon as a well-to-do New York business man. He Is always alone and never has been seen to asso ciate with any of the other patrons of the hotel. It was not known there last night that he Is married. He had spent the last five days there, but left last evening. "Never have I heard of an attachment so remarkable and at the same time so romantic as that of Mr. Kalll and Miss Johnson." said Mr. Flero yesterday. "I have known Mrs. Kaiil for half a dincn years and her husband for the last two or three years, and I am one of the few persons who Is In the confidence of both of them. SHREWD BUSINESS WOMAN. "That Mrs. Kalll Is deeply in love with her young husband Is beyond question. She has all the enthusiasm of a school girl, and If she were nearer the aga of her husband it would be regarded by every or.e as a lwautlful love story. As It Is, I presume, there are those who will not agree with Mrs. Kalll In her choice. but anything of this sort Is Important only so far as through her friends It may affect Mrs. Kalll. "There is no one who has either a moral or a legal right to question her right to marry Kalll and to do what she pleases with her fortune. She has neither father nor mother, brother nor sister: she never was married and has not even nieces or nephews. Her nearest relative. In fact, Is a third cousin, and to none of these dis tant relatives Is she under the slightest obligations. They have no right to de mand consideration, financially or other wise, from her."

The case came to the General Board from a subport of St. Albans, Vt., where an Immigrant from Canada brought In as a part of his household effects a mars with a sucking colt.

She Is willing to barter It far cash. To that end she has Just sent out some D.O00 little circulars bearing on tho sub ject, but of course she does not disclose her wonderful secret.

Fifteen thousand of the circulars were sent to prominent men in New York. The other 5,000 were distributed In Fhlladel- pnia, Baltimore and Washington.

Because he is represented as having agreed to discharge IS-year-old George Taylor, charged with theft, on condition that hs would enlist In the navy, the animosity of nearly every official In the Navy Department has been aroused.
