ST. LOUIS. March 9.—Rcv. Peter Houst, who left here about ten days ago for parts unknown. was a man of unusual attain- ments. His business enterprise brought him'into trouble, though. and it is estimat- ed that he’owes from $4, 000 to $10, 000. .. .Father Houst came to this country from Munich in 1883. For a year he was an inmate of a Franciscan monastery at Lou- isville, and in 1884 he came to St. Louis. He was connected with ..St. John of .Nepo— muk church, from that time until his flight. ' In an evil hour he concluded to write a book on the Bohemian Catholic church in America. It was profusely illustrated and finely bound, but it was not a success. Hundreds of copies were sent to various cities, and there they remain, unpaid for. Father Houst was under pecuniary obliga- tions to several of his parishioners, and with the hope of making money to repay them, the book having disappointed his hopes, he embarked with Theodore Kytka and a man named Janda in the engraving business. A company was incorporated. but failure resulted. Subsequently Charles W. Trefney loaned Father Houst $900 to help him out of his difficulty. Eventually he acquired the most of the stock in the engraving company, but the stock became worthless, and the company collapsed. Father Hessoun was unaware of his as« sistant’s financial undertakings and diffi- culties. He heard rumors that he owed a little money, but it was not until after his flight that he had an inkling of the truth. Then his parishioners came to him with notes 'and due bills by the score. How much the aggregate is he does not know, nor would he give the names of any of the creditors. There is an idea in some quarters that Father Houst may have committed sui- cide, but this is not generally entertained, and some have still sufl'icient faith in him to believe that he will make money enough to return and discharge his debts. Father Houst's flight was precipitated by fright apparently. One of his creditors, a poor man who had lent him all his sav- ings, was unable to get his money back, and being in sore need of it became dcs' pcratc and threatened to kill the priest.

"7h" Experilm-nt to be Tried in Wicked Chicago First. I Privst Ruinsford of an Episcopal Cillll'l'll in New York has for a longtime adv outed a church saloon, where beer c mld be sold. Bishop Fellows of Chi- cago is about. to try a. saloon experiment, but. wit hout liquor. He “'iil not. sell rum or any other-kind of intoxicant, for he proposes to compete for the patronage and influence of the liquor saloon with what he calls the “home saloon.” He is going to put in pmct iml Operation the plan he suggested at the Father Mathew celebration at the Auditorium several months ago. “W'hat,” he said, “has the Church or the temperance movement to offer in a material way in competition with the sa- loon? Nothing. I have been investigate ing the saloon business. I have had men at work finding out all about their meth- ods and the business. ‘Ve propose to apply those principles to the conducting and management of places where we can offer everything that the saloon does in the way of warmth and light and aplace to sit down, and a place to get something to eat and something to drink, except in- toxicants. I have the figures in my pocket now, and I believe these places can be made both self-supporting and self-propagating. “For 5 cents We can furnish a hot drink of coffee, tea, or something of the sort, or other non-intoxicating drinks, together with a pretty fair meal of bread, meat, and potato salad, or something of that sort. For 10 cents we can do very much better. It is an experiment that has proved successful in London, Liverpool, Manchester, and other English cities. It promises well for Chicago. It can only be demonstrated by experiment. “If one proves successful a. hundred will, and we want to locate them right where they are needed. Our first one will be opened in the ‘levee’ district probably, and others wherever they can be made successful. W'e want them to be as places of gatherings for friends and acquaint- ances, something like the wine shops of Paris and the Continent. perfectly respectable. “People want light and warmth and a place where they can feel they have a. right to be, and therefore it is not aques- tion of welcome or privilege. I believe such a work as this, if it proves success- ful, will be worth fifty years of merely intellectual temperance work. The more I study this matter the more I am im- pressed with its possibilities. One of the features of it is that it shall be self-sup- porting. “It will be carried on as a. part of the general scheme of the People‘s Institute, though not necessarily in connection with the institute. They will be planted where they can do the most good, and these places of refreshment where they are most- needed. The institutes will be educational, recreatine, and broadly un- denominational in their work. They will be open seven days and seven nights in the week. If I had, the money it would cost to establish one church where, say, 150 worship Sunday, I could establish two (or three institutes.” ' Bishop Fallows will not resign his bis- hopric nor his-"connection with St. Paul’s Church. He could not, in keeping with the ecclesiastical organization of the Re- formed Episcopal Church. He will sim~ ply leave the details of parochial work to an sssistant or perhaps two. DR. DEPEW ON FREE LUNCH. Ho Believes It an Ingenious Preparation for the Destruction of Men's Souls. “Free lunches!” exclaimed the doctor. “Well, I did say something about free lunches, didn’t. I? And if I’m not mis- taken I referred to them as ingenious preparations, too. \Vell, they are. I meant all I said about young men becom- ing slaves to drink. It’s a terrible thing, anti I think the free lunch is largely re- sponsible for: it. It’s a. most ingenious contrivance; and do you know,”thc Doc~ tor lowered his voice, “do you know that. it’s simply put in a place to make a, man thirsty? Yes, sir, I tell you that the free lunch is composed of food of such a char- acter that it keeps amau thirsty and forces him to buy liquor to keep himself comfortable. It is made up of pickled herring, corned beef, fish cakes, salted potatoes, prttzels, cheese, smoked beef, potato salad, and dozens of other dishes the main ingredient of which is salt. And as sure as a. man eats free lunch just so sure will he be a drinking man unless he is possessed of rare self-control. Why, I tell you the free lunch is more to blame for the pumbsr of drunkards around than anything else. A man takes a drink and a bite; the bite makes him thirsty and the drink makes him hungry, and many a man who would leave a saloon after having imbibed one drink will stick all day as long as the free lunch is there. It isn’t the drink that keeps him, but the ingenious make-up of the free lunch; and that’s why I say it’s a blotch on civiliza- tion and should be wiped out. “Perhaps you wonder how I know all this. I’ll tell you. I travel a great deal, and wherever I go I always make it a pointto talk with the man next me. I ask him his business and make him tell me all about. it.’ That’s why I’m always prepared to address any kind of an audi- ence on almost any kind of a subject. Now, among others, I have talked to many hotel men and liquor dealers, keepers of fashionable cafes as Well as German saloon keepers, and, as the free lunch is a sort of hobby of mine I always make them tell me about what they spread out for their customers in the eating line. I used to wonder how they could afford to spread a. free lunch, but all liquor dealers tell me that it’s the most paying investment they make, and I believe it is.” 810,000 for a Tunnel Kiss. A peculiar suit has been instituted at Bulla, Ala. Mrs. Sue Robbins was a. pas senger on the Louisville train the other day; so were Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel Lem- . ons, a young couple just married. The train was passing through a tunnel and Mr. Lemons, who had left his wife’s seat, just behind Mrs. Robbins, returned to it, as he thought‘ in the darkness, and pro- ceeded to kiss his newly wedded bride. About this time the train emerged from the tunnel and disclosed that his sup- posed bride was Mrs. Robbins, who is a. young widow. She has sued for $10,000 damages for the mistake, and will not admit the act was not intentional. Cupid is always shooting. and forever making Mrs. - Advertise in the Gazn'r'ifa.

If the Kidneys are in good order and the blood pure, perfect cir- culation is the result—that means good health, rest and sleep. The pills cost 50 cents at the druggists.
