With view to drawing the line, where
the law specifies it should be, the health
officer few days ago communicated with
DR.. Miller, the secretary of the state board
of examiners, in reference to the subject.
Yesterday he received reply,
accompanied with the law on the
subject. The result was found
decidedly unsatisfactory, as the law admits
of any woman practicing midwifery, pro-
viding the attendant makes no prescription.
The health officer has decided, however,
on another course, as he is convinced that
in many instances the word still-bOrn is
simply another term for child murder. Here
after every case of q child being still-bOrn
reported to the health officer, where there
is the slightest cause of suspicion attached
to 1t, will be turned over to the cor
oner for investigation befor burial permit
has been granted. With this generally
known, and if there be grounds for the
health officers suspicious, it is probable
that the death rate of the city, at least as
lar as still-bOm children are concerned, will
be considerably reduced.

THOSE STONE SIDEWALKS.
Was the Order of the Council Too
COmprehensivel

The matter of laying stone sidewalks on
certain specified streets, as ordered by the
uouncil at meeting of recent date, is Gre
ating great deal of dissatisfaction just
now The trouble is not because the side
walks generally are to be improved. but
because the council in its order sweepingly
TOOK IN the entire range of the streets
named. BY this action the sidewalks at
present in use. whether they are wooden or
stone, old or new, in good condition or
otherwise. will all have to be taken I'D and
replaced by one certain specified StOne-that
Is Berea- The objections to this order pre-
sented themselves to the board of public
works simultaneous with the order. As the
order from the council was imperative. the
board OF public works was simply power
less 10 do anything but carry it out to the
letter. Before allowing the contractor
10 touch any of the already
good sidewalks, however, the board sub
mitted resolution to the council asking
that it be allowed to exercise its dis
erection i'm putting down the walks. but i'm
reply received peremptory order to carry
out the instructions of the council as for
merly submitted to the board. So the mat
ter stands.
If the order is Obeyed literally it will

feet of good sidewalk on Seventh street
alone. On Wabasha street the stone walks
in front of all the prominent buildings. be-
tween Third and Seventh streets. will have
to be condemned, and the new walk put
down at the expense of the property
owners.
n leading citizen speaking of the matter
yesterday said 1t was an outrage on private
rights TO compel men who have paid for
good sidewalks to have them torn
up and replaced by other ones to suit
the whim of one particular alderman.
If it were done on his property he would
sue for an injunction, and he believes other
men will adopt the same course
The report is current that the city attor-
ney will prevent the contractor from touch
ing any stone walks rather than get the
city in trouble. When asked how the
trouble would be overcome yesterday. he
said there would be 10 trouble. The order
OF the council was not intended to be con-
strued "a it read, and the city engineer. in
whose hands the whole matter rested.
would particularly specify to the contractor
where the walks should be put down. The
council made the order to read more COM
prehenSively than the trainers of it intended.

Somebody Killed.

An unknown man walking on the Mil
waukee track about midway between the
union depot and Merriam Park yesterday
was struck and instantly killed by the train
due in st. Paul at o'clock. He was walk
ing with two other men, who noticed the
approach of freight and quickly stepped
Oft the track. They told him also to look
out and, as he slowly stepped off the track
on which the freight was running, he was
struck by the short line express. His re-
mains, which were terribly mangled, were
brought to st. Paul and taken to Gross
undertaking rooms, West Third street. His
identity was unknown to his companions and
there were no papers on his person to show
who or what he was. A newspaper, the
German Watch Tower, printed in Chicago,
bore the name of Fred SchOenke. His re-
mains are still at the above undertaking es-
Enlistment awaiting Identification. When
this is done an inquest will be held by
Coroner Quinn.

the alleged violation of which is one of the
matters under the investigation of the COM
mittee. The testimony given by Gen.
SanbOrn is regarded as of considerable i'm
portance. as showing the intent of the COM
mission and its views on the question of
whether or not the stipulation was a treaty.

a SEWER FOR CHICAGO
Is What Capt. Berkey Says the Hen
nepin Canal Would Prove.

A Chicago papers nervousness over the
calling of the river convention in this city
was noted in yesterday mornings GLOBE,
the paper seeming to think that it was a
move inimical to the interests of the Hen
nepin canal. \ reporter called upon Capt.
Berkey yesterday. and, after calling
his attention Ia the plant of the Chi
cago daily, asked his opinion of the
canal project and the relations of the Upper
Mississippi Improvements to that proposed
waterway. The captain said there was
nothing that he was aware of against the
canal. There was no city in the country.
probably. which was more interested in the
matter of drainage than Chicago, and the
Hennepin canal would be great sewer for
the city. There would be some business
on il. but the canal bore no comparison in
importance to the improvement of the
Mississippi river. He had no desire 10 Op-
pose it, but didn't want il tackled
onto the Mississippi appropriation. He
believed the state of Illinois was not inter
ested i'm the llennepin canal. while it was
pretty evident that the whole state was in
tereSted i'm the Mississippi river. and cOnse-
quently its improvement. There is no in
terest in the canal up here, and on the
other hand there is no feeling against the
enterprise. Chicago would not ship any
thing 10 speak of by the canal route and
she did not care anything about the SIissiS-
sippi. her outlet being the lakes. If the
Mississippi river ran by way of Chicago
that city would not use it.
lie believed there was no intention to
discriminate against the canal, but he con-
sidered that as national improvement it
had little Importance. There was, he
thought, no disposition to tack the canal
upOn other bills. The canal. if built, would
be utilized as a sewer to drain the city of
Chicago. and concerned but few in the city.
All along the great river there was interest
in what was done upon the stream. The
Mississippi river is the great regulator of
rates for transportation. Without it, he
thought, il would be found that shipping
rates would be materially higher.

obituary notices of Gen. Grant. many of
Them taking up most of the available space
IN accounts of scenes and incidents in the
life OF the illustrious patriot.
THE PRESS.
The Times this morning in an editorial
says: With all his faults Gen. Grant loomed
up larger in the peoples eyes than
any of his rivals or contemporaries. If
Snature was of metal of finer mixed alloy
than that of the founder of the republic, as
even his warmest admirers must admit
it may be fairly pleaded that
he was in this only the creature of his time.
If his faults were those of his age
and country, the military qualities
on which the fortunes of his
country at the critical moment depended
were his own. The Daily Telegraph de-
votes two columns to a review of Gen.
Grants military career and editOrially
says he was the greatest leader whom the
United States has produced. The Daily
News says, There have been few Drawer
men than Grant. England will sincerely regret
his death. 1t is as a soldier that he Will be
remembered. His name will even be asso-
ciated with the great and righteous strug-
gle of which Lincoln was the brain and
heart and Grant the arm and weapon.
THE AMERICAN EXCHANGE.
The American club aud other resorts for
Americans are draped in mourning, and
have flags at half mast. All the
morning papers have long obit-
uary notices. A large number OF
Americans will meet at the residence Of
Minister Phelps to-day to consider what ac-
ton shall be taken to express their con-
dolence and show thier respect to the
memory of Gen. Grant. AT dinner
given by Mrs. Mackay to Mr.. Phelps and
wife, Lady Churchill and numerous aristo-
cratic residents of London last evening the
deepest sympathy was expressed for the
family of Gen. Grant.

WidenIng Como Avenue.

Yesterday afternoon the special commit
tee of the council, similar committee from
the chamber of commerce, and large
number of the property owners along the
line of Como avenue, held meeting at the
chamber of commerce rooms for the pur-
pose of consulting upon the proposition
made to the property owners to donate
twenty feet wide on each side of the avenue
from Rice street to Lake Como villas, for the
purpose of widening it to 12O feet The
number of feet asked for was donated by
the owners of several thousand feet along
the avenue, and from present prospects
there is-very good reason to believe there
will be no difficulty in obtaining all the adj
ditiOnal real estate required to complete this
very desirable public improvement.
