THE WORLD REV Olives
And With Each Decade There
Is a New Generation Of
Hustlers.
That Is Why a st. Paul Worthy
Gets Swallowed in the
Vortex.
Count Philip de Roehebrune
Is a Well-KnoWn Chapae-
ter Of Awaybaek.
Now He Languishes, and Will
End His Days at the Poor
Farm.

J.P. Wright. of the board of control,
yesterday removed to the county poor
farm an old st. Paul landmark in the
person of the Count Philip de Roche
bruno. For many years the count has
been growing poorer and poorer finan-
cially; and, although he held notary
public's commission. his physical in
firmities initiated against his keeping
up with the new generation of huStlers,
and he decided to rusticate. The count
is famous for his legal battles, some of
which are alluded to as unique.
He once picked up a SD bill which
some laDorer had dropped in the city
treasurer'S Office, and, when compelled
to give it up, threatened to sue the City
Treasurer Refs for damages.
In Olden times 1t cost money to cross
the WabaSha street bridge. The count,
wishing to. economize, jumped upon
farmers wagon, but was required to
pay toll. He sued the tOll-taker for the
sun of 10 cents, and carried the case to
the supreme court, where he trlumphed.
Another remarkable piece of legal
warfare was the case of the count
against DR.. Robinson, to recover a meer-
schaum pipe Oh verbal contract. The
doctor had promised to present the count
with fine meerSchaum pipe if his lord
ship would abstain from the use of to-
bacco in any form for a whole year.
At the end of the trial the pipe was
claimed and the suit brought, but this
time De Rochebrune was defeated, DR..
Robinson cOntriving to prove that the
pla ntiff had used whisky which had
been adulterated with nicotine.
Another historical contest was that
between the count and a prominent Col
lege avenue lady, since married, the
count claiming $4,000 damages for
breach of promise. The promise was
implied rather than expressed. the
count alleging that the lady had
smiled on him, and thereby encouraged
him to believe that she wanted to marry
him. He was given the choice of with
drawing his suit or defending himself
against a charge of insanity.
Count de Rochebrume came within
an ace of being elected mayor of st.
Paul, under peculiar circumstances.
John S. Prince had received the nom
ination of both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, and number OF old citizens
said: look here, the Prince has both
nominations. Let some of us run the
count" So, just to relieve the mo-
notony, people began to deposit their
ballots for De Rochebrune, and he had
polIed several hundred votes when the
friends of the regular nominee took
alarm and turned out in force, and just
in time to save the city.
In olden times the count bought a
corner at Virginia and Dayton avenues,
paying S2,400 for property now worth
$4,000, and it has been the general be-
lief that he must be worth considerable

AND YET PEOPLE TALK.

There were no developments yester-
day in the Curtiss-St. Peter hospital
charges. Secretary Hart is still wait
ing for documents.
This is most preposterous way of
conducting state business.
Nearly week ago grave charges we're
publicly alleged against the conduct of
st. Peter asylum authorities charges
which, if true, demand the most search
ing investigation On the part of the
chief executive of the state. To-day
the report is made that nothing definite
has been done to fathom the truth of
the alleged outrage.
The people of the state require that
it's public institutions shogld be above
suspicion, and they will certainly pro-
test against the delay in investigating
the grave story accredited to st. Peters
hospital. The duty of Secretary Hart,
as the representative of Gov. Merriam,
is not to wait for documents. Ho should
personally visit the father of the girl
and at once obtain the data upon which
he bases the serious complaints filed
against prominent state officials.
This dilly-dallying, while one person
sees another individual to get HIM
to supply information to third
party, is entirely beneath the dignity of
a business administration. If it con-
tinueS much longer, citizens will begin
to inquire the need of state board of
corrections and charities and highly
paid officials,

HE'LL DON The ERMINE.
Attorney G.. E. Otis Selected to Fill the
Vacant Judgeship.
NON PARTISAN MAN.
Judqe Villas Successor Has the Good
Will and Confidence OF ALI
Public Men.

Attorney Charles E. Otis was yester-
day selected to fill the vacancy created
on the Ramsey county bench by the
death of Judge Villas.
The appointment is an excellent one.
In making the selection thus early.
Gov. Merriam was solely Influenced by
the congested state of the courts and the
fact that they will open Monday first.
He has acted from non-partisan stand
point, and there has not been the least
action brought to bear upon his excel
lency in Mr. Otis behalf. The appoint
ment was a spontaneous one by the
governor, and it is one which will com
mend itself to the attorneys and the
public alike.
Judge Otis is Michigan man. He
first saw the light of day in Barry
county, away back in '46, and is one of
family of eleven. His parents were
pioneers in Michigan, and the blossom
ing years of his life were spent on the
farm, working in summer and attend
ing the district school i'll winter. From
a school teacher, he forced his way to
college, in 1861 entering the freshman's
class at Ann Arbor University. Five
years later he graduated with honors.
William Otis secured the position of SUI
perintendent of schools at La Port, Ind,
which he held two years, and, in 1871.
came to st. Paul, where he entered as
a student the law office of his
brother, George L. Otis. He was
admitted to the bar. 1878, and was
taken into partnership by his brother,
who died in 1888. A. E. Otis, another
brother, then of Chicago. came to st.
Paul and became the partner of Judge
Otis, the two constituting the firm up to
the present time. The judge is not en-
tirely new to public life. He was
member of the common council five
years and an Inspector of the city schools
for one term. He was elected to both
the positions as non-partisan in poll
tics. The Otis family have predllec-
ton for the bar. Out of eight brothers.
five are attorneys, and Charles acces-
sion to the bench completes the trio
holding judicial positions:
Judge Otis married, in 1874, Miss
Libbie N. Ransom, daughter of ex-Gov.
Ransom, of Kalamazoo, Mich.

THE DEMISE OF DOGS.
A Canine JurnpingOf Place, and
How Ii OnerateS

A Canine Juinping-Of Place, and
How 1t Operates.
Since the burning last spring of the
rendering works at the Milwaukee short
line bridge, all dead animals hauled
away from st. Paul have been buried in
a trench upon the'levee on opposite side
of the river, few miles below the city.
This burial ground for dumb animals is
located near the old Manner farm, and
receives during the summer an average
of thirty-five carcasses of horses and
cattle per month. The number of dogs
inferred is about twenty-five per month.
But the dogs do not all arrive In the
shape of corpses. Many of them
are converted into burying material
after arriving on the field. Last
night witnessed the execution OF a
kennel of twenty dogs at one swoop::
They were placed in large crate and
swung outward with crane over the
river. The crate was then lowered
into the water, and as 1t sank beneath
the surface there were a few bubbles
and all was over, or rather, under. Ex-
periments have shown that it requires
six minutes to drown puppy, while
the vital spark can be eXtinguished In
all Old dog in four minutes. The dogs
are kept twenty-fOur hours before being;
eXterminated, to give their fond owners
a chance to redeem them; but it often
happens that fine-bred dogs have to be
drowned because of not being claimed.
Sometime in October the Mertz system
will go into operation, and the four
footed unfortunates will be worked up
by an odorless process into a palatabie
grade of salad oil.

Considerable interest was evinced by

the doctor had failed to file his certifi-

as provided by sections and 4 of the
Code of 1877, was the ground upon
which an adverse decision was rendered.
Not more than half dozen physicians

To Affect the Cattle Interest of
Minnesota

| A prominent cattleman who returned
from Chicago yesterday said: 1T was
claimed in Chicago that carload OF
lumpjaw cattle from st. Paul had been
found there. 1t finally dwindled down
to the condemnation of ten head that
were claimed to be lumpy-jawed. l am
inclined to think that there has been an
attempt to put up job on Minnesota in
this instance, for it would be a foolhardy
act for any Minnesota cattleman to put
ten, or even five head of lumpy-iawed
cattle in with carload and send them
to Chicago, Kansas City, st. Paul. or
any other cattle market. The diseased
