Patterson's Side of It.

Assistant Health Inspector Patterson, in
his controversy with Health Officer Hoyt,
makes the following points:
First-The assistant sanitary inspector is ap-
pointed by virtue OF the power conferred by
chapter IL, section 10, of the municipal code
which provides that ''the sanitary super intend
ent (heath ofiicerl shall be entitled to have one
assistant who shall be appointed by
the board OF health upon the recommendation
OF the health officer and such assistant shall hold
his office for such times as the said board OF
health may require, but may be discharged at
any time by resolution of the common
council. This provision of the charter
fixing the mode of appointment
of the assistant health inspector and the duration
OF his term Of Office must be strictly observed.
Dillon on Corporations, section ii6. 1t will be
observed that the power of appointment lies
with the board, and that the mode of removal,
except by discharge by resolution Of the council,
is not prescribed. The appointing power is ex-
pressly given to the board, and this would imply
the power OF removal did not the charter provide
the mode of removal should be by discharge by
re soluton OF the council. The well-knowu maxim
OF law ''the inclusion of one is the exclusion of
another" and that expressed makes that
which is implied to cease covers the whole
case. and compels the construction OF the statute
contended for BY M Patterson. But even IL he
is wrong in this, his attempted discharge by
officer Hoyt was clearly unauthorized and lille
gal The charter provides that the assistant
health inspector shall be appointed by the
board, and that he shall hold his Office for such
time as the board may require. No possible
construction OF these provisions can give the
power OF removal to Officer Hoyt, and that the
power OF the board cannot be delegated is a we'll
settled principal of municipal law. Dillon on
Corporations, section 60. Mr.. Patterson has
never been discharged either BY the board or BY
the council. and is therefore still Al assistant
health inspector.
Secont-oficer Hoyt bases bis right to re-
move MI Patterson on article s. section l2 of the
ordinances, which provides that the heslth officer
shall have the power to remove st any time any
assistant hesti inspector etc. but the provision
OF The ordinsn e Is clearly void because il is di
reetly st variance with the charter, which pro-
vldes that the assistant shal hold his Office for
such me a. the board OF health NAV require.
and shall only be removed, etc, as before cited,

SMUGGLED DIAMONDS.
The Van Norman Jewelry Stock the Subject Of
New Litigation-The Seizure Of Mr..
Tinn,s Diamonds

The Van Norman Jewelry Stock the Subject Of
New Litigation-Th Seizure Of Mr..
Linn's Diamonds.
The seizure by Special Agent Douglas of
the diamond earrings belonging to DR.. s. c.
Linn, and said to be valued at ST., 900, has
occasOned considerable comment, and it is
expected that fierce fight will grow out of
the seizure of the goods. The diamonds
were thought to be a part of a Struggled
jewelry stock and subsequent develop
ments have ngthened this impression.
They were found in the possession of
James Linn of Minneapolis, who has made
repeated effolts to sell them and who claims
that they were left in his charge for safe
keeping by his brother, DR.. s. G. Linn of st.
Petersburg, Russia. The doctor visited Min
neapois last fall and he was conspicuous for
the lavish display of diamond jewelry that
adorned his person. At present the dia-
monds are locked up IN the safe of Collector
Bickel, and hot legal fight is anticipated.
The litigation over the Van Norman jew
elry stock has been given fresh impetus By
the seizure Tuesday by Special Agents Keefe
and Douglas, of the stock of jewelry and
diamonds which have been in charge of
United States Marshal Denny ever since the
embarrassment of the above named firm,
the jewelry having been seized on an order
from the court in favor of Lopp d Flersham.
The stock, which amounts to $4,000, has
been under surveillance for some time past,
and the treasury agents have lately come to
the conclusion that at least portion of the
goods were smuggled from Winnipeg. The
funny part of it is that an inspection of the
stock revealed no diamonds. The end is not

Meeting of Dentists to Arrange for the ]

Meeting Of Dentists to Arrange for the Re-
ception Of the American Dental Society.
A meeting of the dentists of St. Paul and
Minneapolis was held at the Astoria hotel
last night, the object being to arrange for
the reception and entertainment of the
American Dental association to be held in
Minneapolis the first Tuesday of August.
The meeting was called to order by DR..

ray, Dillingham;, Gliding, Reid, Jenison.
Drummer aud w. G. and j. II. Spaulding of
Min neapolis.
A general discussion took place, in the
course of which DR.. Reed said that no spirit
of rivalry should be shown in the entertain-
ment All present, he said, were practicing
dentists; society matters should have moth
ing to do with 1t; II was a question of enter
tanning the American Dental society," and all
should take pride in making the occasion
success.
The st. Paul dentists then went into ex-
ecutve session, aud as a result DR.. Lyon
reported that the St. Paul doctors were will
ing to stand pro rata of the expense, and
that they were in favor of inviting the den
lists throughout the state.
1t was decided that the st. Paul dentists
should organize a separate society to CO.
operate with the Minneapolis dentists in the
matter of entertaining the society. Another
conference of the st. Paul doctors was held,
and Dr. Little was called to the chair as tenn
porary chairman and DR.. Wedelstedt. sec
rotary.
Drs. Lyon, Welch and II. S. Patterson

A DEFUNCT OPERA.
The New Opera Strikes Financial Snag and
Comes to Grief-It Dies Young
Rut Hard


The new opera, "a Social Wreck" came
to grief at O'Clock yesterday afternoon at
the Grand. The disease of which It died was
lack of financial nutrition, malady which
has killed many good enterprise. The in
innate connection between fat-pocket book
and soug-lucre and meody-was never
more clearly established than in the sudden
demise of this Inflated musical production.
The storm which led To the disruption OF
the company commenced TO loom up
on the dramatic horizon Tuesday night,
when the prima donna of the opera, late of
Her Maiesty's Opera company, gently init
mated that she would like to have some
guarantee Of receiving her money. Maj.
Hand and Manager Scott threw oil on the
troubled waters, aud for the time being she
was pacifed. The next night Tuesday, au-
other disturbing element appeared in the
form of the lady who had leased the cos
tunes. She wanted her money or the gaudy
plumage in which the Royal Soup faster. the
Prospective Widows, the Telesmeliers, and
other men and women players who strutted
their brief hour would be taken away.
A temporary settlement was again effected
and the merry show went on. The climax
came just before the hour for the matinee
performance yesterday, when Mrs. Warde,
the principal soloist, refused to go on unless
she got her money. Mrs. Herwegen, the
eostumer. also demanded pay for her cos
tunes, ana it was finally decided that the
show could not 60 on. A few people who
had purchased tickets we're given back their
money, and this ended the matter so far as
st. Paul is con -eraed.
In speaking of the unfortunate sfsir Maj.
Hand said that be had lost nearly 81, O00 in
the enterprise and that he attributed the
whole trouble TO the stubbOrnness of Mr.. and
Mrs. Warde. The actions OF the latter, he
said, had been stumbling block al the way
through. He had entered into no specified
agreement concerning the time in which she
was TO receive her pay, the only agreement
being that she was to receive 300 for sing
ing as long as the ST. Paul season lasted.
Prof. Reese also claims that be bad trouble
with the company from the start They re-
fused, De said, to follow the score aud sang

THAT EDINBURGH LIBEL SUIT.
The "Farm Pupil" INDICATED by an English
Court-Henry Franklin Shearman
Beaten.

Beaten.
Frank Ford, attorney, has just received in
formation of the dismissal of the famous suit
of b. F. Sherman against the Edinburgh
Scotsman in the court of queens bench,
London, Eng. Notices of the progress
of the suit have been made from time to
time in this paper previous to the taking of
testimony, which was finished last August.
Mr.. Ford was one Of the com missioners
nominated by the London court to take tes-
timony in the matter, and last May week
was consumed in taking the deposition of
witnesses before him here in ST. Paul, emf
nent counsel being in attendance. Wit
nesses were also examined at Owatonna,
Pennington and other towns and villages of
the state.
The action against the Scotsman was for
libel in publishing in that paper copy of
letter addressed to the Chicago Herald headed,
''Swindling Philanthropist, and signed by
so-called EARN Pupil" named Getman,
commenting in strong language upon the
American farm pupil agency business CARR I'd
on by Henry F. Sherman at No. 21,
Finsbury Pavement, London, Eng,
Shearman alleging $4,000 damages.
Mr.. Shearman's philanthropic scheme
was to send out to this country
young men, sons of English gentlemen, and
secure for them openings as farmers in
Southern Minnesota and other parts of the
state. fee of so to rs guineas was exacted
from the ''pupils," as they were called, to
insure them the same positions as the heads
of families on selected farms. Shearman
issued circulars of very attractive charac-
ter showing the desirability of the position
he proposed to secure for his "pupils," and
had his agents over here, who received his
"pupils' and conducted them to their farms.
The pupils, upon arriving, found that they
were treated as mere farm laborers, doing
the meanest and most mental work. and get
ting less than farm labOrers' wages. The
case was called before Baron Pollock of the
court of queens bench, and a special jury,
in the latter part of February, and, upon
motion of defendants counsel, dismissed
with costs, the plaintiff not being prepared
for trial.

st. Louis Chronicle.
The most astonishingly-dresse6 little
woman in st. Louis this week was the daugh
ter of prominent municipal officer. She
was riding in horse-car, aud this was what
she wore: vivid royal purple velvet dress,
walking length, the long apron front of the
overskrt trimmed with six-inch white lace
ruffle, generously gathered on. Over this
handsome sealskin dolman open from the
waist that the effect of the tyrian dye might
not be lost upon the onlooker;
a sealskin toque upon the lower braids
and a suspicion of veil over the face, the
conspicuous part of which was the lips. Not
especially pretty lips, but the constant biting
of the lower one between two rows Of vicious
white teeth kept il in glow of pain. The
hands were incased in cheap black gloves,
and on the wrists great barbaric bracelets
dszzled The eye with the sparkle of precious
stones. Above them the red, pippled, goose
feshed wrists seemed to be begging the pur-
pie to come down or the gold to come up and
hide their raw nakedness. She was a fear
fully and wonderfully attired woman, but
she seemed at peace with herself and all the
world.
