Ex-Congressman legal advocate, st t O'Neill, the St. Louis clubs legal advocate, spent the major portion of his time at the Filth Avenue Hotel, and whilA n. nouncing that he was here principally to boom the World's Fair for St. Louis, it is understood that he Was looking out after the interests of the St. Louis clnb. Mr. Von der Ahe was par ticularly pleasant, and did not seem to have a care upon his mind. He said to a Dispatch reporter that he positively would not tell whether he had or had not made aDplication tiw hiuuiud win la. i-iayers' ljeague.

A Tonog Girl Refaaea to Take Medicine When Very III Her Faith In Divine Dealing Only Broken by Her Death. rsrsciAi. tzxsokxx to thi dibtatcs. ' Ne'W Yoek, December 16. Nineteen-year-old Frances W. Anderson died to-day at the boarding bouse of Mrs. Bhckman, in Brooklyn, of hasty consumption, alter per sistently refusing to take medicine which had been prescribed, and which at least would probably have prolonged her life.. She and her sister, who is a year younger, were orphans, and were the wards ol Louis A. Bnrchard. Each was worth about $20, 000, left by their father. The sisters, who were well educated, came from Louisiana about five years ago, and after staying for some time at the house of a relative'went to live with Mr. Bnrchard. Fonr years ago Frances was confirmed in the Church of the Reformation, in Gates ave nue, by the Rev. Dr. Backus, and she has since Seen a communicant, and a regular at tendant at the service. She was a firm be liever in the faith cure craze and would not take medicine when attacked by rheumatism and afterward consumption. "I am not ill," said she. "If I were, it would be a sin to take medicine. Does not God say I am the great physician?' " Dr. Bliss, Mr. Burchard, the Bev. Dr. Backns and other friends told her of the serious nature of her illness, but all their entreaties failed to induce her to receive medical treatment. When she became alarmingly ill a few weeks ago, she was taken, at her own request, to the house of Mrs. Buckman. Drs. Bliss and Johnson continued to call regularly, but the girl, al though growing weaker, steadily refused to take any medicine, and as long as she re mained conscious her resolution could not be changed. Dr. Bliss -visited her for the last time on Sunday, and found her in a dying condi tion. Her death occurred soon after 3 o'clock this morning. The certificate of death which Dr. Bliss forwarded to-day to the health department was not filled out in tie regular manner. The case was referred to Coroner Lindsay by Commissioner Griffin, and an inqnest will be held. A LONG AND CRUEL J0UENEX. Two Children Deserted After Walking From St. Loots to New York. New Tobk, December 16. Matthew Goetz, an elderly man, waj arraigned in the Essex Market Police Court to-day on the charge of cruelly deserting his two children, William, aged 12, and Matthew, aged 8 years. About six months ago Goetz, who then lived in St. Louis, told his wife that he would take the two boys .out for a walk. The walk extended from St. Louis to this city and took three months to accomplish. The children were obliged to sleep in the open air most of the time, were exposed to ail sorts of weather, and nad to beg their food. On arriving here the father deserted them in the streets, and left them to shift for themselves. They came under the care of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, who found an aunt of theirs liv ing here, and she took charge of them. Search was made for the father and it was found that he had married a widow on Long Island. A watch was kept on him and on bis rst visit to this city he was ar rested. It is probable he will be charged with bigamy. CONDENSED ELIXIR. The Active Principle of That Tonic Now on ibe Market. A well-known physician in this city yes terday handed to a reporter for The Dis patch a small white envelope, saying: "There is something new."

It is heing made by a firm ol'manufacturihgchemists in Phil adelphia, aud is thns in shape for) use bv practicing physicians. Those who experi mented with that elixir last summer had to make it themselves, and it was necessary to nse it immediately, or the animal matter in it would spoil.
