COLle0e HOHDitQL Sold.

The College hospital property was yester-
day sold by the sheriff at the court house
upon foreclosure OF a mortgage in accordance
with an order of the court in the suit Of Re-
gina Jungerick VS.. DR.. F. A. Dunsmoor,
representing the College hospital, and E. A.
Merrill, trustee of the Manchester college,
In October, 1881, DR.. Dunsmoor executed to
the trustees of Manchester college a deed on
the property known as the Winslow house,
now occupied by the college, to
secure loan Of $1,000, stipulation
being made that in case of failure to pay
taxes and insurance the mortgage should be
foreclosed. In June, 1884, the trustees of
Manchester college conveyed to Regina Jun
gerick the mortgage and entire property on
collateral security for the payment of note
for $4,000, due Jan. /, 1887. In No
vember, 1894, default was made in the con-
dition of the mortgage, by the failure to keep
up the insurance policy. In accordance
with the agreement the principal was declared
due, and the sale accordingly took place
yesterday, the property being bid in by
Regina Jungerick for S34, 245.

Conservatory of iNmsic.

Yesterday a GLOBE representative was
looking over the prospectus of the ''Beetho-
ven Conservatory of Music,'' which is be-
ing establi shed in the city Of Saltwater, and
which has the following officers: j. Halstead
Carroll, D. D., president; A. P. Lindholm,
secretary and treasurer, and Prof. Oscar
Werner, director. The object for which the
conservatory has been started is to cultivate
taste for music, and for that purpose to or
ganiZe school of instruction and practice
in all branches of musical education, the
giving of concerts; the production of must
cal works, and such other musical enterprises
as shall be conducive to the ends mentioned.
All kinds of musical instruments will be
taught, Prof. Werner teaching the piano and
flute, Prof. Slowing the violin, and Prof.
Holdt violincello. Vocal music will form a
specially. The citizens are the ones who
are taking hold of this, and their action will
be the means of supplying a want long felt,
that of higher musical education. There
are many in the city who would long ere
this have avaied themselves Of such, but
they could not command the time to go to
larger city to avail themselves of the higher
education, which now has heen placed by
the liberality of the citizens within there
reach. The conservatory viii be conducted
on the European plan, Prof. Werner having
been pupil of the most successful musical
director in Berlin.

and crush the life out of the scheme. We
shall have to wait a long time now but we
will have the bridge ultimately. The people
in North Minneapolis on either side of the
river demand it, and it is in my estimation a
great injustice that they should not have
it this season. Why bridge should be
built in South Minneapolis and not in North
Minneapolis l am puzzled to understand.
The only argument I can see in favor of the
south bridge is that it will give somewhat
shorter route to st. Paul and aid real estate
men in selling property on the East side.
Tt is much like the scheme to improve
Broadway through a marsh. 1t will benefit

ANNUAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.


Method of Getting Correct Time for the
Railroads.
An annual eclipse of the sun takes place
March 10. The annulus describes path
about seventy-fve miles in width, crossing
Montana, Idaho and the northwestern por-
ton of California, including all stations on
the Northern Pacific railway between Liv-
ingston and Closoil, inclusive; all stations on
the Utah Northern railway between Spring
Hill and Butte City, inclusive; Virginia City;
all stations on the Oregon Short Line
between Mountain Home and Poy-
cite, inclusive; all stations on the
Oregon division of the Central Pacific rail-
way between Red Bluff and Delta inclusive,
and on the proposed line of the road as far
north as Yreka. The Western Union will
send out signals on their wires as far west as
Helena, Boise City, Sacramento and Delta,
thus affording an opportunity to obtain the
correct time on that date. The signals to be
sent out are wholly automatic, and consist of
short mokes produced in an open Geographic
circuit by the beats of mean time clock, the
pendulum closing the circuit at each beat.
The signals begin at II b.. So m, 45 S., and
cease at II h., seventy-fifth meridian,
mean time. During that interval
there is a ''make' at ting begin
ming of every second except that in
each minute the "makes' corresponding to
the goth second, and to the 55th, seth, 57th,
5Sth and seth seconds are omitted Thus,
the first ''make'' after the pause Of five sec
onds always marks the beginning of min
ute, and the first ''make" after the pause of
the second marks thirty seconds. In order
to distinguish the last minute and give time
to manipulate switches to time-balls, control
clocks, etc, the ''makes'' cease after Ii h..
SO m, SO S. and until 70 h., when there is a
single ''make" and the signals cease.
When the signals are received at points
where the time of the ninetieth meridian is
used, they will give the time from I0h. som.
45s. to 11h., or just one hour earlier than
when representing seventy-fifth meridian
time; otherwise the signals will be read in
the manner above described. The seventy
fifth meridian time is SIN. 1905 earlier
than Washington time.

MIDDI.ELAGED MEN.

There are many at the age from thirty to sixty
who troubled with frequent excavations OF
the bladder, often accompanied by slight
smarting or burning sensation and weakening the
system in manner the patient cannot account
for. On examining the urinary deposits ropy
sediment will often be found, and sometimes
small particles of albumen will appear, or the
color will be of a thin, or milkish hue, again
changing to dark and torpid appearance.
There are many men who die Of this difficulty,
ignorant Of the cause, which is the second stage
OF weakness OF vital organs. DR.. s. will
guarantee perfect cure in all such cases, and
healthy restoration Of these organs.
Only one interview required In the majority Of
cases. Balance OF treatment can be taken at
home without any interruption to business.
