and Increase It-County Auditors Pay.
The Ramsey county legislative delega-
ton held a secret meeting yesterday after

the proceedings away to the reporter, it

the board of fire commissioners out of of
flee and reverting its duties back to the
council, and decided not only to
continue the board but to increase the
membership to five. II is also understood
that it was decided to materially increase
the salaries of the officers of the depart
ment so that the very best talent could be
commanded in those positions, and that
Messrs. Griggs and Cornish were appoint
ed committee to prepare bill IN accord
ance for presentation to the delegation.
The bill introduced in the house at yes
terday afternoons session to increase the
salary of the county auditor, including
all clerk hire, from $4,000 to $4,000, was
also considered, resulting in decision to
have the bill amended so as to fix the sal
airy at $4,000. Other local measures were
talked over informally, but no action
taken.

completed. Capt. McCiung stated his OBJ
iections to the assessment for extending

dred dollars and he squandered The money

tonlion TO Il lettor written by Secretary
Sherman, which states very clearly the view
Of the trade dollar which has always prevailed
in the treasury department and in Congress.
Mr.. Sherman shows that the coins Mt once
went out Of the country, and it was never OK
pccted that they would go anywhere else; that
when, upon the depreciation Of silver, bullion
dealers found it profitable to put trade dollars
which by classification with other silver
coins had been madc legal tender to the
amount Of five dollars-in circulation on the
Pacific coast, Mr. Randall introduced in tho
House Of Representatives and Mr.. Cox after
ward reported bill taking away the legal
tender quality which was passed by both
branches of Congress without any objection
whatever that up to this time the trade dol
lar had not circulated outside of the Pacific
states, because it "cost more than paper
currency dollar, but when, upon the resump-
ton of specie payment the paper dollars APP
preciated and the trade dollars deprecated
relatively, the bullion dealers found profit in
putting the latter in circulation in this part of
the country. Thus, clearly, the government
had washed its hands Of the trade dollar had
thoroughly discredited it as lawful money
had given notice in every possible way that
it was not among the legal coins of the Unit
cd States, long before the embarrassment now
complained of began to be felt

CAPT. WEBB began life by saving young
er member of his family from drowning; he
ended it by throwing it away as one would a
worthless penny. He once jumped from a
Cunard steamer in gale to save a common
seaman, and Hedalg and honors were show
cred upon him. But nov he will get no
monument. Women wept on the shore.
Tuesday, when he threw up his hand before
that maddening maelstrom of water and
thunder; they did not weep because he was
a hero, but because he was fool. "How
much have you made by swimming exhibit
tons ?" asked the old waterman who had
courage to row him out to his starting place.
Webb replied, 'Tyepty-fve thousand dol
lars And how much hRve yOr got left ?"
About Sl5, 900" Then you had better let
me pull you ashore, and 60 on Sl5, 900
spree rather than try to go through that 1t
is sure death" The swimmer smiled and
said, "Meet mo with the clothes and blankets
at the Swiss Glen, below the whirlpool, as l
wish 10 90 to Boston tomorrow" He did
not know the difference between an Ida Lew
is and Sam Patch, Men recall his wonder
full endurance and daring in past years how
he swan the English channel from Dover TO
Calais in 81 hours in rough weather, how he
could remain 1928 hours a week in the water,
and how he could master waves that would
almost founder yacht, and yet those stories
lose their charm ia view of the foolhardnoss
OF his taking of.
