The st. Paul Security company, con-
sistlng of PresidentStickne of the Chi
ago. st. Paul & Kansas City, Messrs.
Oppenhelm, Kalman and other we'll
known local capitalists, made purchase
last spling of fifty acres of land just
westof Brownsville, aud on which were
valuable clay deposits. The purchase
was. however. not made public until
recently rumors of more or less highly
colored nature followed in the wake of
the announcement. A story has been
freely circulated to the effect that the
Kansas City people intended building
a spur track to the clay beds and would
hanl the clay to South st. Paul, and at
that point it would be utilized in the
manufacture of brick.
W. M. Jones, assistant to President
Stickney, says that all such reports are
erroneous. g purchased the fifty acres
in behalf Of the Security company he
continued, "for Slo0 an acre. 1t is I'M
possible to say where the plant for the
manufacture of the brick will be To-
Gated, though it may be either at
Brownsville or Red Rock. The clay
land has been sold to the Anderson
Pressed Brick company, and the man
agement of that company intend erect

none in the country. The clay is supe-
rior to that which is found anywhere
else, and the Anderson people are
highly pleased with their purchase. The

Charles H. Sherman Suddenly
Frustrated by a Name
less Disease.
Desperate Measures ReSOrted
to Which Quenehed the
Vital Spark.
Bulled the Market When the
Bears Were on
Top.

A most remarkable dieaSe. which has
puzzled the medical fraternity, has at
tackled Charles II. Sherman, a we'll
known capitalist, necesStating his tenn
porary retirement from active business
pursuits. He had been suffering for
some days with bronchitis, but seemed
to be getting over it nicely. Monday
morning he was waiting to see Uri
Lamprey, in the latter's office, and was
reading newspaper. Suddenly feel
ing chill come over him, he moved
nearer to the fire. No sooner had he
done this than his threat began to swell,
almost choking him. lie tore his
collar open, and seemed greatly dis
treSSed for some time. DIR. Il. y. Abbott
was instantly summoned and relieved
him sufficiently to permit his being re-
moved to his home, at Exchange and
Walnut streets. About 2 O'Clock Thurs
day morning he was attacked with an
other and more serious paroxysm of the
same sort. Drs Maelaren and Abbott
were sent for. and after an examination
they decided that traeheotomy was the
only means of saving his life. The
difficult operation was performed and
silver tube was inserted into the larynX,
through which he is now breathing. DIR.
Abbott says thar the disease is curious
complication for which he can assign
10 cause. The tissues of the pharyhx
and larynX sWelled tie such an extent
that they closed over the neck OF the
carriages of the trachea, thus pre-
venting breathing. At one time the
uvula was swelled to the size of a
thumb, and at times the bronehialtubes
seemed to be affected. AS an indication
of the size of the swelling when the
doctor was first summoned, he could not
distinguish the line OF the JaWbone,
the whole space between the chin, ears,
breast and collar bones being filled up
by the terrible swelling. The doctors
tried at first 10 insert tube down the
throat. but found that the parts affected
would undoubtedly close right over
such a tube if inserted. Finding this
impossible, their only resource was
tracheotomy, which consists in cutting
a hole between the carriages of the
neck so as to allow air to reach the lungs.
Mr.. Sherman has at times during his
illness experienced cons .derable diff
in swallowing, but can manage it. now
without much difficulty. DR.. Abbott
last evening pronounced him much bet,
ter, and though he has had two or three
more paroxysms of similar nature, is
in a fair way to recovery. Mr.. Sher-
mans friends will be interested in the
case, not only on account of the patient,
but on account of the unprecedented
nature of the complaint. Hdemia of
varions parts of the body IS common,
but such a general and sudden attack,
with no apparent cause, has evoked
great interest among the medical fra
ternity, and it is likely that paper Oh
the case will annear shortly.

Hats at Cape ofGood Hope.

Cape Town Argus.
l happened to go to Cape Town Satur-
day and was very much taken with some
extremely cool and pretty-looking gar
den hats at one of the shops. They were
thin woven, flat chip hats of large size,
that came into vogue for garden wear
last year and were sold fol- a few pence
each. These are better kind and are
left shady and forward over the eye and
twisted and turned up at the back in an
Undesirable but picturesque manner,
with ribbons which eliminate on the
top of the crown and end in loops and a
cluster of flowers. The wel-known
Zulu hats are also to be seen, which
have been through so many Transferring
tons. Now they are smartly bent and
trimmed with eolered pongee silk
scarf lightly twisted round the crown.
| have also seen some very light and
pretty lace hats, both in black and
white. The latter are generally spoiled,
to my mind, by the addition of a huge
bunch of very green grass. arranged
either at the back or OH one side.
