ODDS AND ENDS.

A curious little story, which might be
called ''Lost and Found" came to light
yesterday, and, although not in any
way connected with great wealth or
anything very startling, still possesses
an interest which is chiefly remarkable
for its simplicity. The facts in this
little sketch are as follows: About four
years ago, one evening a venerable
white-haired priest of the Roman Cath
Ollie church was an arrival at well
known house, registered, took his
supper, and in an hour or so re-
tired, after directing that he be
called at an early hour next morning to
catch train for his home. The night
passed away and in the morning the
venerable priest appeared in the Of
flee somewhat excited, to report that he
had lost his hat, and, worse still, his
watch and chain. AS he was in great
hurry to catch his train home, rapid
search for the missing articles was in
Stituted. but all to no purpose. A tenn
porary covering for his head was offered
the old gentleman and away he went on
his journey home.
49,
No word ever came from him about
the matter, and it had almost died out
of the memory of the hotel people
until yesterday when the whole circum-
stance was revived once more by his
turning up hale and hearty and regis
tering to stay over night. Landlord
Towne knew him at once, and asked him
why he had not written for his things.
"Ah," said he, ''my watch upon which
Iplaced so much value; you do not tell
me you have it safe?" ''Why, of course,
have" said the landlord; 'you do not
suppose pawned it, surely?" Then
the whole little story came out; he had
placed his watch in his hat, and the two
articles back of the bed, where they
had dropped down and got hidden back

THE COMMITTEE KICKS.
Two City Officials Called Down by
a Council Committee.

~
At the meeting of the council commit
tee on public grounds and buildings
Yesterday afternoon two bills were pre-
scented which caused protest on the
part of the members of the committee.
One was for five key checks purchased
by the janitor, amounting to $l.25, and
the other for placing wash basin in
the city clerks Office at the cost of So.
1t appeared that no member of the COM
mlttee or council had ever been seen in
regard to purchasing the same, and q
big kick was accordingly made. IL am
getting sick of paving bills like that"
said Aid. Downs as he read the Dill.
lit seems to me til . no one around thl
city hall has any right to have any work
done unless we are told something about
it. But they go ahead and do it, all the
same. 1t is not the amount ! object to
in these eases, but the principle" The
plumbing bill was finally ordered paid
and the chairman authorized to notify
every one around the city hall that bills
for any work done in the future with
out the sanction of the committee would
not he paid. The janitor's bill for s1.25
was not allowed. A number of small
bills were ordered paid. 1t was reported
lndU none OF tne Sllldll electrlc ramps III
the city hall would burn 800 hours as
guaranteed by the makers, instead they
ran about thirty hours. The matter was
discussed. No action was taken.
The council committee on W0rkhouse
yesterday morning and audited large
number of bills.
The police commission met yesterday
afternoon and transacted routine bust
ness.
A communication asking that the ter
ritory bounded by First avenue south
and Grant street, and Nicollet avenue
and Thirteenth street, be included in
the fire limits was sent into the commit
tee on fire department yesterday. The
only business transacted was the audit

BOARD OF TRADE.

The Crossing Question and River
Improvements the Principal
Topics.
At the meeting of the board of trade
yesterday morning the committee of
fifteen, to which was referred the mat
ter of the Washington avenue railway
crossing, requested through the chair
man, ID. Morrison, to be discharged, as
the supreme court had given decision
in the case. The request was granted.
A discussion as to what the two railroad
companies intended to do followed. r.
C. NickelS introduced the following
resolution, which was referred to the
committee on railroads:
Whereas. The supreme court OF the
state of Minnesota has found that the
st. Paul, Minneapolis IL Manitoba rail
road and the Minneapolis IL st. Louis
railroad are under obligation to lower
their tracks and provide safe cross,
ing at Fourth avenue north; and
whereas, it appears from the pup
lished utterances of the legal represen-
tatives of the Minneapolis d st. LOUIS
that it is not the intention of that cor
poration to comply with the order Of
the court. and that in his opinion action
may be delayed as long as five years by
further appeal to the supreme court OF
the United States, a proceeding TO
which he threatens resort; now, there
fore, be it resolved, that the inn
provement contemplated and ordered
by the city government and by the de-
cision of the courts is imperatively
demanded, and that in the opinion of
this board the Minneapolis e. st. Louis
road, by its stubborn opposition to the
making of these improvements, is block
ing the progress and natural growth of
the city and contributing to the main
tenance of a perpetual nuisance and
ever present menace of life: that this
attitude deserves the most emphatic
censure, and that, if maintained, should
by every citizen of Minneapolis be
deemed to be good and sufficient reason
for withholding all possible patronage
from that corporation until such time as
it sees fit to yield to the plain demand
of the public and the edict OF the prop
erly constituted municipal and judicial
bodies.
A memorial to congress was adopted
asking for the appropriation of Sl46,0OO
for improving the Mississippi river be-
tween st. Paul and the Washington
avenue bridge, and further approprla-
ton of ;$4 600 for the prosecution OF sur
VeyS for further improvements.
Resolutions from the New York prod
uce exchange and the OswegO board of
trade. protesting against the adultera-
ton of food, and favOring an approprja-
ton by congress for the establishing an
American ship canal around Niagara
Falls, were received and referred to the
proper committees.

HENRY BERGH DEAD.
The Great PhilanthrOpist Dies in
New York Yesterday.

New YORK, March 12.-Henry Bergh,
the philanthrOpist, is dead. Henry
Bergh was born in New York city in the
year 1928. His father was Christian
Bergh, a wealthy man, the leading
American shipbuilder of his time.
Blessed with superior parentage, pos
Sessing ample means, Mr.. Bergh re-
ceiyed a superior education, but did not
complete his course at the Columbia
college. He married while young
Miss Taylor, daughter of English par
ents. In 1862 he was appointed secre
tary of legation at st. Petersburg, and
began there an active interference In
behalf Of the right of animals to kind
treatment, which has given him repu-
tation as wide as civilization. Mr..
Bergh resigned his position on account
obliged in the luxury of leisurely travel
and became acquainted with the Earl of
narrowly, president of the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, London. The society of
which Mr.. Bergh is the founder is
the founder. is modelled largely after
the English one presided over by this
nobleman until his death. He re-
turned to New York in 1864 and
spent a year in maturing his
plans for the establishment of means to
check and prevent cruelty to animals.
Mr.. Bergh's society was instituted in
1855. In 1866 it was given by statute
the powers of prosecution and even ar
rest, which it still possesses. Mr.. Bergh
has been its president since its incep-
ton, and its invaluable service to beast,
and man as well, are largely due to his
resolution, the moral elevation of his
character, his tact, unflinching courage
and uncOnquerable perseverance. He
received no salary for his work. Mr..
Bergh might well be classed as one of
New YOrk'S oldest men. His face was
a long, thin visage, with large, irregu-
lar features, baggy eyes and heavy lines
at the sides and around the mouth. Be
sides being geOlOgist, he wrote poetry,
made good speeches and could readily
turn his pen to journalistic work. He
has written several plays, and, in addi-
ton to his knowledge Of law, knew a
thing or two about the science of medi-
cine. The Office of the society over
whose destinies Mr.. Bergh presided is in
a large and handsome building of its
own at the corner of Twenty-third street
and Fourth avenue, which was erected
in 1872, out of a bequest of $4,000 left
the society by Louis BOnard, a French
man. who made fortune trading with
the Indians. The society has 1926 work
erS in the state. Thirty-siX states in the
Union have founded similar OrganiZa
tiOnS.

POLITICAL SIGNAL SERVICE.

Secretary Preston, of the court house
and city hall commission, is quoted as
saying, in reference to the architects
plans: ''There was an informal canvass
of the plans on Saturday, but the de-
cision am not permitted to state" He
is unfortunate. The GLOBE was little
ahead of him and was permitted to state
exactly how the vote stood, and that
Dennis was given the first place. This
is where newspaper had the advantage
of an everyday secretary.
~
1t was merely an accident that this
august trio CHANGED to meet on Satur-
day-SenatOr Sabin, Loren Fletcher and
r. B. LangdOn. 1t was mere cOincld-
ence, without political significance. Ii
w. r. Merriam had CHANGED to drop III
the coincidence would have been com,
plete. In the incidental discussion that
followed, and which, of course, was
without significance, twas decided that
w. r. Merriam for governor, ID. M.
Sabin for senator and Loren Fletcher
for congress should be the accepted
slate. Senator Langdon. gracefully,
withdrew his senatorial aspirations, and
tripartite love feast resulted.
-
1t is casually remarked by an ire
spOnsible, but otherwise esteemed even
ing contemporary speaking of the
Democratic council caucus, that, cat no
time did Guile, Burke or Morse get half
the number of votes necessary to elect"
though Guile had and Burke 9vOtes.
This is not nearly correct. There were
10 votes in the caucus and 10vOtes would
have elected. Guile required but 2
votes and Burke l to nominate, and
to nominate means to elect. This is a
small matter, but there is nothing like
accuracy, after all.

Winter holds on well, but the snow
and ice will go off with rush when the
vernal sun gets in its work. So will it
be with the frigid boom now being en-
jOyed by Judge Rea and Capt. Snider.
They hang ON now but in few weeks
the Springtime sun of Loren Fletcher's
popularity will beam upon them and
they will disappear. Your Uncle Loren
regulates the rising and setting of the
political sun this year.

TO REDUCE EXPENSES.
Extremely Probable That There
Will Be Less Street Lighting.

AT the meeting of the council commit
tee on gas yesterday afternoon the ques-
ton of cutting the total cost of lighting
the city down to 100000 per year was
discussed. G. A. March, of the Globe
Light company, stated that the total
cost for light during September last was
S9,560.64, of which $4,975 was for cleo
tricity, S2,511.l4 for gas and S2,Ol4.5o for
the Sun Vapor, Wheeler and Globe
lights. This amount did not include
the additional lamps ordered of the
three companies last named during the
month and not included in the general
total. A discussion followed as to what
right the council had to order more
lights in than there was money enough
to pay for. This question was decided
by Aid. +. M. johnson, who held that
it had no right at all to do so. The COM
mittee adjourned without coming to any
conclusion in regard to how many OF
of each lights should come out.

CLEVELAND, O., March 12.-Miss Jo-

inal court to-day and was remanded to
the custody of the sheriff. For the past
two months she has been in hiding at
farmhouse near gainesville, o., while
the authorities have been searching the

to keep her out of the hands of an OBJ
jectionable guardian that Mrs. AmmOn,
wealthy lady, refused to reveal Miss
Blann's whereabouts and served six
weeks in the county Jail for her obstin-
acy. Matters, however, came to such a
pass that to avoid further legal cOmpli-
cations, it was deemed advisable for the
heiress, who is fOrty-Seven years old, to
present herself in court, so that the liti-
CATION might be settled. The case has
excited great deal of comment in the
city and further proceedings will be
watched with interest.
