BAER GETS 1T NOW.
Attack Upon the Christian En-
deavor Secretary by the Epworth
Herald.


deavor Secretary by the EpwOrth
Herald.
The Christian Endeavor convention
seems to have produced quite bit of a
row. First the Ensign took shy at DR..
Tiffany for his undenominatioDal utter
ances. Now Secretary Baer gets it in
the Epworth Herald after this fashion:
Yong Mr.. Baer, of the Christian En-
deavor society, met Bishop Vincent in
Chicago prior to the Minneapolis con
ventioD, and had some conversation
with him. The part of this converse
ton which he reported to the cOnven-
ton was wholly misunderstood, and
placed the bishop in position which
he says he does not occupy. We speak
with authority when we say that Bishop
Vincent is as earnestly loyal to our
Methodist young peoples society as ever.
In note to tn is Office he says: ''In the
interest of the Epworth league and of
the Methodist Episcopal church, l
wanted to show the Christian Endeavor
people that, while we have an organiza-
ton of our own, we are not so cold
hearted, bigoted and narrow as not to
feel lively interest in the work which
the Christian EndeavOr society is doing.
In view of the fact that we have a
strong and vigorous league of our owns
/ was the more anxious to appear as the
representative of Methodist catholicity.
Any other Interpretation of what said
must be a perversion:"
MI. Baer was seen vest erday. He
was not pleased, to say the least, over
the article in the Epworth Herald. He
states his position IN these words:
"Bishop Vincent said Just what I
said he said when he and Mr.. Sankey
and were talking In the Palmer house.

WHERE WATERS RECEDE.
Novel Point Raised by Lawyer
in the District Court.

All day yesterday the attorneys in the
case of Griswold ct al. versus Eastman
were busy getting in their arguments
before Judge Lochren. In his conclud-
ing plea the attorney for Eastman, the
defendant, introduced a novel plea, to
saw the least. 1t is, in effect,tha man
who owns land to the waters edge
along river cannot profit by
the receding of the waters thereof.
1t will be remembered that Griswold
and numerous other plaintiffs claim that
Island avenue is an easement attached
to lots they bought from the Eastmans,
and extends to the waters edge on Mic
ollet island. The defense claims, as one
element, that even if this were true, the
portion claimed by GrisWOld was not on
island avenue at the time of the sale.
He claims a rim around that pOr-
ton of the island which is in
controversy, which he says is between
Island avenue and the river. 1t was not
at the time the lots were sold. In 1856
the river was higher than 1t is now; it
covered more of the edge of the Island.
Park avenue, now Island avenue. was
therefore narrower. As the Mississippi
fell the island enlarged, but the prop
erty of the purchasers did not. If they
acquired title t0 Island avenue to the
river, it Embraced only tn at strip OF

The bill creating the board of correc
lions and charities in the city of Mime
apoIis SAYS: "The city physician shall
have complete control of all city hos
pitfalls, and shall appoint his assistants
and all employees of such hospitals, sub
iect to the approval of the board, or
words to that effect.
c. A. Chase, NJ. D., is city physician.
Although the law creating and govern
ing the board of corrections and chart
ties has been in force less than month,
DIR. Chase is already beginning to take
advantage of the prerogatives con-
ferred upon him. Yesterday he de-
manded the resignation of Mrs. L. II.
Bard, matrOn of the city hospital.
The demand was communicated to
the lady in a letter. She wat not long
in finding DR.. Chase.
Doctor. what are the charges against
me2" she asked.
Don't worry about the matter" the
doctor replied hlandly, but Just resign.
Don't make fuss about 1t. but step oui
quietly"
Mrs. Bard couldn't see it in that light
She has refused to resign until she
knows why ner resignation has been re-
ouested. Mrs. Bard has been matrOn
of the city hospital ever since it was es-
tablished. This is the first occasion on
which any fault has been found will
her administration of her duties. This
matter will probably come before the
board of corrections and charities at its
next meeting and create little breeze
1t is whispered that DR.. Chdse's action
Is due to a desire to give the place OF
matrOn to his sister. Whether this bt
true OF not, it is a significant fact thai
Mrs. Bard served as matrOn of the city
hospital for two years under DR.. Chase
and was never asked to resign until h(
became sole arbiter of the destines Of
the employees of the city hospital.

ASSUMING PROPORTIONS.
The Coming Encampment of the

The Coming Encampment of the
S. of v. Will Be the Largest Ever
Held.
Preparations for the national encamp-
ment of the Sons of Veterans, to be
held in this city next month, and the
local executive committee is already
very busy. Every mail brings an ava
lanche of correspondence, and Secre-
tary Drew is up to his eyes in work.
The Boston people write that they have
already made arrangements to fill one
Wagner coach and expect to fill another.
All of the larger Eastern cities are eX-
pected to send large delegations, many
of whom will come in special cars, which
they will use as headquarters during
the convention. The Minnesota, Da-
kota and Wisconsin camps will turn out
in large numbers, and from present
prospects, it is believed that the en-
campment will be the largest ever held.
The headquarters of the executive and
other committees will be opened on
Aug. IS, and the national committees
will assemble at the West hotel
to arrange matters for the OPEN
ing of the encampment one week
later. A number of camps have sig
nified an intention to enter the prize
drill. The Minneapolis camps have
contributed $3.50 for prizes, and the COM
mander-in-chief has added 81, 600 to this
sum. Thus far Camp No. 1. of st. Paul,

THE WRONG MAN.
Yet the Attorney in the Case In

Yet the Attorney in the Case In
sists That it Was the Right
Man.
There was an angry man in Judge
Ponds court yesterday. His name was
Lewis Michaels. Deputy Sheriff
Tucker brought him in. 1t seems that
Humphrey Michaels had been cited to
appear and show cause why he should
not be punished for contempt of court
in falling to make disclosure of property
when ordered to do it. Humphrey
Michaels is the son of hLewiS
Michaels. All this the angry
Lewis explained TO the judge.
He was allowed to depart in wrath.
Five minutes afterwards Attorney
Moore came to attend to the attachment
and was surprised that Michaels had
gone. He explained that that was the
right man; he had directed the sheriff
to him. He had bought the goods under
the name of Humphrey and when the
bill was due said his name was Lewis,
and made his absent son special scape-
goat to bear this particular debt No
Humphrey can be found by an officer.
Judge Pond directed a new order to be
prepared to bring in the same man on
attachment,

PUMPED BACK TO LIFE.
Sad Story of a Young Woman Who
Tried to Kill Herself.

Tried to Kill Herself.
a woman of the town, who lives in
the bagnio kept by Hattie Cole at 1921
Second street south, and who travels
under the euphoniOus pseudOny m of
Nav Fisher. tried to end her miserable
existence Friday night by taking the
contents of bottle of iodine. 4 doctor
was summoned, however, and her life
was saved by means of a stomach pump.
Her story Is a peculiarly sad one.
Two years ago pretty blue-eyed, gold
en-haired girl came to Minneapolis from
Eau Claire, Wis. The life and activity
existent in large city were new to
her. The sights and scenes of the street,
the theaterS, the show windows all fas-
cinated her. But her savings were small,
and the little roll of bills in her purse
| dwindled rapidly with no apparent
prospects of replenishment. Finally,
/ after days of patient waiting
and hours of worry and dis
| enlargement, she secured position
| as dishwasher in Washington avenue
! restaurant. Her strict attention to
| duty soon led to her advancement, so
/ that work was given her which would
| not harden the soft hands, or cause the
pink skin to roughen. Her graceful
manner, her pretty face, and her win
! some ways served to attract the atten-
! ton of others than her col aborers and
employers.
Then came the disgrace. the shame of
/ the fatal step. A young man, employed
! as clerk in the pOstotfjce, became her
! companion to the theaterS and to dances.
| To her unsOphiSticated mind his sweet
/ words of promise were the truth. Alone,
| Sci, nf
| or friend, the inevitable result came.
Scorned by her fellow-wOrkerS she
was refused further employment, and
she was sent out into the world without
/ the means of obtaining food and shelter.
The cauce of her trouble was that she
| refused to do anything towards mltigat-
ing the wrong he had done. Desperate,
| homeless, friendless-there seemed but
| one course left open to her, and she be-
| came an inmate of Hattie Coles eStab-
| lishment.

THE COAL QUESTION.
The Board of Educ alton Wrestles
With 1t Again Without Results.

The board of education held special
meeting yesterday afternoon to con-
slider bids for fuel and plumbing for the
coming year. Quite a number of the
fuel dealers were present, among them
George G. Jacoby, John Goodenow and
j. w. Nash. On Hooking Valley and
Goughioghaney coal the firms all bid
1875 and $40 respectively, with the
exception of one concern, whose bid
was 1915 and s.. Last year the board
only paid s4.34 for Hooking Valley.
There was considerable competition on
Illinois coal. the lowest bid being S3.19
for Peoria and 1884 for Streeter. The
advertisements call for 5000 tons of
soft coal, $500 to be delivered at once,
and the bids are thirteen Ill number.
The board discussed the proposals for
some time in executive session and
finally decided to postpone final action
in the matter until Tuesday next.

horse belongs to the city and was
