OUR FUTURE WATER SUPPLY

When the Twins JTnite--.That,
With Other Matters, Before the
Chamber.
.'Oil lamps are poisoning the air at
the hospital"
The sentence quoted is that of DIR.
Day, uttered yesterday before the mem-
bers of the chamber of commerce. Mr..
Dorr had introduced a resolution re-
curing the authorities to Immediately
place gas or electricity into the city and
county hospital. and DR.. Day came up
with the explanation that gas would be
introduced as soon as the gas company
had laid the mains.
| Resolved, That the committee on the Twin
Cities be instructed to investigate the ques-
ton of securing a water supply Tor Dotn ST.
Paul and Minneapolis that will be adequate
for the future needs OF their growing popula-
tom
| The resolution, ultimately adopted by
the chamber, was introduced by E. v.
Smalley. who dilated upon the fearful
tad now being made OH the small lakes
surrounding st. Paul aud Minneapolis.
."Witfi full faith in the future union"
Mr.. Smalley said, lit is time we were
taking some steps in reference to secur-
inga good supply. A good supply of
water could be obtained from Mile Laos
lake" Mr.. Fairchild was favorable to
the inclusion of Saltwater. but his prop
osftion did not go down. DR.. Day had
information that Mile Lacs had been
drained ten feet by the depredations OF
the lumbermen.
The National Association for the pro-
motion of American Commerce has laid
before the chamber the paramount me-
n
action for the increase of the merchant
marine abroad. The United States flag
in foreign trade covers 6l,7l7 tons OF
American shipping less than In 1870.
and !, 597. 592 tons less than in 1861. The
question was brought up by T. h..
Kelly. who secured its reference to the
committee on transportation.

Mrs Bruggeman Produces Evil
dence to Maintain Her Charac-
ter.
In the Bruggeman divorce case yes
terday the plaintiff introduced great
deal of evidence in rebuttal. Several IF
the men with whom in was charged the
plaintiff held illicit relations were put
on the witness stand. They all denied
that they had ever been unduly intimate
with Mrs. Bruggeman. One witness
admitted that he mad frequently gone
into the woman's room with his coat,
vest and shoes off. but explained that
he went there merely for the purpose of
having buttons sewed on his pants"
About half dozen persons testified
that Mrs. Bruggeman always kept re-
spectacle house. In fact, the testimony
introduced yesterday was all i'm direct
denial of that put in by the defense.
Mrs. Bruggeman was recalled to deny
a part of the evidence given by her hus-
band. While she was on the stand Mr..
Bruggeman whispered to a GLOBE re-
porter:

A WEE LITTLE MIDGET
Attracting the Attention of Moth
ers at the Museum.


A funny little woman with very
small body and a very long train sat in
little easy chair at the museum yes
terday She was a little thing. scarce
three feet high. but she was unmistaka-
bly, woman and not child. There
was the high forehead, with brown hair
parted in the good Old-faShiOned way
above ii. There were the large, blue,
Intelligent eyeS-eyeS that could never
belong to a child, because they were so
full of experience, and as they gaZed
down upon the little dimpled thing that
she held in her arms, looked Surh things
as only mothers eyes can hook. The
little woman was Maggie the Midget,
and the little thing in her arms
was her babe. Maggie is pleas
antly installed in almost sumptuous
quarters at the museum. The little
plat form, with the canopy above. looks
like section of a parlor. AMI there
Maggie lives with her baby and her
nurse. There is cradle there, too, ev-
erything to make the place appear
hOmelike. There Maggie receives her
friendS-for she has a great many
friends in st. Paul. Many people who
have only heard of her through the
newspapers come to see her. and moth
ers ask her privately about that terri
bic medical operation she had per-
formed, which only few mothers have
ever escaped from alive. Meanwhile
the baby, little beet-coiOred bundle of
humanity with a large vOice-which in
justice it should be said she never
raises except in good cause-iS eI.joy-
ing herself too and is making friends.
People are compelled to put on their
eyeglasses to see the little thing,it is SO
small; but it is human, bright and in
telligent, and people already see
enough character in its face to say it
looks like its mother.

in 1866, George w. Ewing reeonveyed
this property absolutely to his son.
George w. Ewing Jr., intending thereby
to surrender his trust; but that subse-
Quently, doubts arising about its legal

startling scenes and ludlcrouS Incl
dents are so inceSantly enacted anu
SO constantly before the spectator as 10
make facial contortiOns the law of the
evening. Miss Bessie Cleveland is as
pretty as ever, sings as well as when
She PLAYED a prominent part with JAR
beau, and iS-Well, the celebrant Ot the
''Oueen of modern falrieS." While her
voice is sweet and melOdiouS, II IS
matched and. possibly, eXcelled, in that
of Hilda Thomas. Miss Thomas car
rieS all, when in her inimitable and coy
manner she breatheS her song. The
cOStuming is gorgeous, the stage setting
q wonder 10 the craft, the scenes, tab
leaHX and special features numerous,
. and ever changing. James K. Adams
as the Spider is a marvel or SupleneSS
and acrObatic skill. Rugged anu fitted
in the order of a clown, he, with
Thomas 5. and Henry L. Dare, does
some wonderful horizontal bar work,
tumbling and general pantOmimic con
tortiOnS. 70 see these alone would be
well worth the evening and its cost.
The company is good one. ami those
mentioned carried the heaviest rOies
and triumph, but the spirit and the life
of the whole lie in the brilliant work of
Sam Ryan as McGinty, the policeman.
Mr.. Ryan possesses the genius which
will grow i'll his present part with this
company, and he certainly proved this
TO his credit last evening. As medley
and iDcongruouS association of song and
acting, The Spider and the Fly is
grand success in the estimation of the
man who can. will and does enjoy a
hearty laugh. All the week.
