The Stensgaard Suit Against the
Title Insurance Company.

The Stensgaard Suit Against the
Title Insurance Company.
A loud echo was heard in the court
house, yesterday, of the famous trial
and acquittal of Louis t. Stensgaard ON
the charge of forging the name of A.
Uihlein to deed. 1t was in the form
of suit by Stensgaard against The Real
Estate Title Insurance Company, to re-
cover $4,000 on the policy issued to
Stensgaard to protect his title i'll the
piece of property purportlng to have
been conveyed to him in the celebrated
deed. The facts are probably well re-
membered, as they made quite a stir
at the time. A deed was recorded
conveying by August Uhlein to Louis
L. StenSgaard certain valuable piece
of property. The insurance company
issued policy for $4,000 on the title.
1t was afterwards developed that Uih-
lein's signature to the deed was for
gerry, and his title was quieted by an ac-
ton for that purpose. A charge of
forgery was preferred against Stems
gard, who was tried and acquitted, and
who now su8 to recover the policy
value.
The defense is that >Stensgaard COM
mitted breach of warranty in his ap-
plication for the insurance. 1t is al
legged that he claimed to have paid SILL
600 for the property, in reality having
paid but $1,000 in cash and some worth
less mining stock. The insurance CON-
pany pleads that had it known the eX
act State of affairs, the policy would
never have been Issued.

The "Human Chameleon" Tells
How He Happened to Get Into
the st. Paul Museum.
The st. Paul museum is decidedly
4nterprising Institution. Last Sunday
the GLOBE printed the story of William
CorSe, an old gentleman seventy-two
years of age, who had come to st. Paul
from Adams county, Illinois, and who
changes his color from white to black.
The article was headed "a Human
Chameleon" and went on to describe
the man and the manner in which he
fell into the condition in which he now
is. Tho man is now in the st. Paul
museum, posing as a freak of nature.
To GLOBE reporter the old gentle
man told how it all came about. CorSe
was seen by the reporter Saturday aft
ternoon. That same night he was
wandering almlessly about the city,
and finally drifted into the museum.
The manager noticed the strange dis
crepancy first, the color Of his face and
his features, inquired about him, and
finally made him such a handsome offer
to appear at the museum that he could
not refuse. So there he is, living wit
ness to the truth of the strange story
published Sunday in the GLOBE. Corse
said in a confidential tone to the GLOBE
man that he was SO far away from home
now that he did not mind the publicity
of the thing.

BLASTED BY A BOLT.
Charles Cone Killed by Lightning
at Lake City.

The funeral occurred yesterday from
the late residence of the deceased on
Case street of Charles F. Cone, who died
at Lake City Saturday morning from
the effects of a lightning shock. Mr..
Cone was visiting on the farm of his
nephew, Herbert Cone, near Lake City.
and Friday evening was assisting to re-
pair a wire fence. Rain was falling
lightly at the time, and an occasional
lightning flash gave no cause for alarm
in the estimation of the workers. Mr.
Cone was hauling the slack out of
length of wire when a terrific electric
shock threw him down. He was at once
taken to the house and restoratives ap-
piled, but he never rallied from the
shock. dying at l0:30 next evening. The
deceased was subject to heart disease,
and it is thought that the shock he re-
ceived would not have proved fatal but
for this. The remains were inferred at
Oakland cemetery, having been shipped
to st. Paul Monday. Mr.. Cone leaves
widow and two children, who are now
in Pennsylvania visiting relatives.
They nave been notified of their be-
reaYement.

THE FIGURES FOR 1T.

Financial Condition OF State In
stitutions---Decrea of Penal
Populations.
Secretary Hart, of the state board Of
correction and charities, has completed
his statement of the condition of the
finances of the state institutions for the
lime months ending April 80 last. The
report shows that the amount of cash
in the hands of the institution treas
urers has decreased since July 81, 1889,
from S20,3 to S10,700, and the amount
of funds in the hands of Superintend-
ents has increased since July 81, 1899,
from $4,000 to S22,500. The amounts
payable have increased since July 81
from $4,000 to $4,000. The special
expenses for the nine months ending
current expenses were $685. 900 as
against special s262,OOO, current $780,
600, total S691. ZOO. for the nine months
ending April 80, 1889. The surplus
from current funds has increased since
July 81, 1899, from 900 to S47, 600,
and the state prison deficit has de-
creased to S1,410, and the state public
school deficit 70 1925, while the Roch-
ester hospital deficit has been over
come. The reformatory deficit has in
creased to S15,210.
The current expenses, per inmate, for
the year ending April 80 have been:
St. Peter hospital for insane, Sl53; Roch-
ester hospital for insane, SI77; state SOL
diers' home S23l; school Tor the deaf S267 !;
same for school term, Sl96; school for the
blind, S343; same for school term, $3.50;
school for feeble minded, SlS9; same for
school term, S1S2; school for dependent
children, SI94; reform school, S143; state
prison, S2l9.
The total per inmate, emitting the re-
formatory and the Fergus Falls hospi
tai, was S1S1, or precisely the same as
for the year ending April so, 1888. For
the year ending April 80, 1889, it was
S176 only.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
in Secretary Harts report is the show
ing that the number of inmates of the
penitentiary is steadily decreasing, de-
spite the vast increase in the pOpula-
tion of the state. On April so, 1889, the
inmates were 439, while on the 30th of
April last there were only 316, and in
the state reformatory 110. making a
total of 426. The population of the
other state institutions April 80 last
was:
St. Peter hospital for the insane. $50;
Rochester hospitol for insane, 946: total in
sane, /. .S96; state soldiers home, 25; school
for]the deaf, 1873; school for the blind, 81;
school for feeDleminded. 29S; school tor de
pendent childfen, 115; reform school, 282.
The total number of inmates in the
insane hospitals April 80, 1889, was 1,S02.
and the total number of inmates in all
the institutions at that time was 3,225,
and on April 80 last 1891.

Management and Talk Polit-
les.
The old soldiers association, organ
lied to enforce the teneus of the Under
wood act, the law providing that old
soldiers shall be given the offices and
public positions, discussed the soldiers
home matter again last night. 1t was
alleged that many civilians had been
given employment in the home at fat
salaries, to the prejudice of old soldiers
perfectly competent to perform the
duties required. Capt. 81. A. Castle, a
member of the soldiers home board,
and DIR. j. H. Murphy, assistant sur
geon of the home. refuted the charge
in emphatic language. Capt. Castle
explained that the home is often Wis
tied and inspected by the &. A. r. and
by the Woman's relief corps, and that
these had pronounced the management
satisfactory. None but old soldiers are
employed there. save the chef and eX-
pert nurses. The management had
been absolutely unable, Capt. Castle
averred, to secure old soldiers to fill
these positions; and several had been
tried, but they were incompetent, and

DR.. Murphy stated that there are only
five inmates of the home who are physi-
cally able to perform manual labor. or
who can earn their own board, and that
it is positively necessary to employ ex-
pert nurses.
While the organization is avowedly
non-partisan politically, an old
soldier who is not MEM
Der savagely attacked the pres
ent Democratic administration, and
declared that the old soldiers are Re-
publicans, and that they cannot expect
a position in st. Paul. Others, who are
members, took up the issue and assever-
ated that many of the old soldiers are
Democrats, and accentuated their re-
marks by the declaration that these
were just as good soldiers as were the
Republicans. The association has de-
cided to promulgate the demand for
one-twentieth of the positions in the

Rows on a Cruise.

A lad named Ed Monamee, the son of
Newport parents, took skiff out on the
river yesterday morning and was gone
all day on supposed fishing tour.
Neither he nor the skiff has been seen
since, and inquiry by the parents de-
velops that he is accompanied by two
other small boys of the vicinity. They
took with them almost the entire con-
tents of the Monamee larder, and are
said to have boasted that they were
going to st. Louis. The boat taken is a
Ieaky craft, not at all suited to an ex-
tended cruise, and it is probable that
the youthful explorers have ere this
tired of the deal. The police of the
river towns have been notified to look

A FAMOUS CRAFT.
Duluth Owns a Yacht Noted on
Eastern Waters.


Duluth papers have announced the
recent purchase of the steam yacht
Picket by Col. Graves, Maj. Upham and
other residents of that city. She is one
of the finest vessels Of her class on the

stand the strongest ocean storms. W.
f. Bottsford, of Port Huron, was her
owner, and in the second year Of her
life she endured and surmOunted one Of
the severest gales ever known on Lake
St. Clair. 1t was on this little vessel
that Judge Allen G. Thurman
and party were carried from
Toledo to Port Huron in Au-
Gust. 1888, when the "Old Roman"
was to open the presidential campaign
at Port Huron. 1t will be remembered
that after a supper at the Crosse Point
club house, at the head of the Detroit
river, the party embarked on the Picket
for speedy run across the lake and up
st. Clair river to the Oakland mineral
springs hotel. They left the club house
at o'clock, and the people along the
shore. who had witnessed many severe
storms. soon became alarmed over the
gale and, when at last the staunch little
Picket steamed up to the Oakland house
after l o'clock in the morning, Wlthsher

built which was proof even against the
