SQuatteps Under the Smith
Avenue Bridge Hustle for
Dry Quarters.
Numerous Houses Invaded by
the Dirty Waters Of the
Mississippi.
Humble Homes Isolated From
Dry Land by the Fast
Rising Fluid.
The Lower Flats Present Old
Familiar Scenes to OBJ
serving Citizens.

Nav l is not ordinarily moving day
for the people who reside on the flats
under the high bridge. But cole MiSSiS-
sip' has this year taken hand III the
domestic affairs of the residents there
abouts Many of the houses have been
invaded already by the muddy water,
and others are in immediate danger OF
being flooded. Yesterday some ram
lilies were. swimming out" to avoid the
inevitable wettrng in store for lingerers
by the river side. Lower floors are
covered, AMI some shantes on slightly
raised ground are completely sur
rounded.
So far as appearances go now, the
scenes of ten or twelve years ago may
be duplicated to some extent before the
prevailing freshet subsidies. Below the
bridges little or no damage had been re-
ported up 10 last night. A look from
the editorial rooms Of the GLOBE shows,
however, that all of the lower flats are
beng rapidly covered by the back
water. Or the section where the old
base ball park is located nothing can be
seen but a vast stretch of muddy t1uld,
dotted here and there by stunted tree,
a fence or shanty. The planning mill
and surrounding buildings can be
reached only in the manner Columbus
came to America. Tiny waveletS spend
themselves against the State street
grade, and this same obstruction will no
doubt prove
a BLESSING to Residents
on this side Of it. There is no likli
hood that the dreaded flood will ever
surmount it, or make fisSure large
enough to be dangerous Up-the-river
sQuatters will get the worst of the
rivers "high old time" and 1t need not
surprise any one to hear that the Bo-
hemian flats have been deserted tenn
porarily. If the unwelcome visitor were
clean and cleansing perhaps the house
wives would not feel so bad about its
coming. But there Will be a tremendous
amount OF dirty sediment to get rid of
when the landscape resumes its normal
appearance. If disease is not bred or
encouraged as a result of the overflow
into badly situated houses, all citizens
may feel thankful.
Signal Service Observer Lyons, OF the
local weather bureau. says that there is
no cause for alarm in the present con-
dition of the river, although at the last
observation. which was at o'clock yes
terday morning, it registered 1874 feet
above low water mark, which is within
two-tenths of foot of the highest point
iii May, 1899. AS casual observers say
that the current was still rising all day,
it is likely that last years maximum
was exceeded yesterday. The following
shows the readings of the gauge at
jackson street since the present rise
began:

A LAMENTABLE INCIDENT.
No Trace Of Lost Mamie Schwartz
Her Mother Stricken.

Mrs. Schwartz, mother of Mamie
Schwartz, the little child who was
stolen on the street in this city almost
year ago, has suffered another stroke of
prostration, which deprived her of the
power of speech. AS yet not a trace
has been found of the stolen clrild. de-
spite the reward of $500 offered by Gov.
Nelson. a seemingly simple case at
first, this has developed into one of the
setmingy hopeless hunts Of recent
years. Clues have been scarce after
the first information that woman was
the abductor. and the only ones found
have been run down without result.
There is money and glory in this case
for some modern Vidocq.

Among the many enjoyable affairs to take
place during the coming week, the concert for
the benefit OF the House of the Good Shepherd

seen from the programme published below,
this concert has been most carefully pre-
pared and, in addition to the local artists who
will take part. several of the members OF the
Bostoniaps have rendered their services, a
compliment which the people of st. Paul Will
no doubt appreciate. The sale of seats has
been unusually large. nearly everything, IN
Guiding the boxes, being already taken. Ihe
success which is already assured for this
testimonial evidences the generosity OF the
people of St. Paul. for it might have seemed
that it would be difficult to have made sue
cess OF next Tuesdays entertainment. fol

it is now evident that the beneficiary, the

IL has Outlines been said that no don
key ia the land is more overloaded than
the human stomach. Hurrying business
men do-not eat; they simply devour.
Anything that is set before them. if
arranged in tempting style they help
themselves to. The question Of fitness
or wholesomeness is never once con
sidered
One DR.. Samuel Johnson has been
quoted as saying, in exten alton OF his
hearty eating, that "the age Of seventy
requires the repairs Of the table. " And
he puts his theory into practice without
any reservation. According to one Of
the biographers of the good
old man, says the Baltimore
sun, hardly was the dinner
served when he darted on the food his
looks seemed riveted to his plate, nor
would he. unless " en- in very high
company, say one word, OF even pay the
least attJ ntion to what was said by
others; he INDUCED with such intense
ness that while in the act of eating, the
veins Of his forehead swelled and gener.
ally strong perspiration was visible.
II by chance the hare was high or the
pie had been made with ra icid but er,
he no longer ate, but devoured"
Notwithstanding this habit, Dr..
Johnson attained the age of 70 years.
But he never enjoyed good health. From
his earliest childhood he was afflicted
with the kings evil. His limbs were
under imperfect control, be was melan-
choly and superstitious aud became cor
pulent and unwieldy. Whether he
would have lived longer or enjoyed better
health II he had been more abstemiou.
no one can tell Modern science would
doubtless declare in the affirmative. but
the age Of IS was not near so common in
the last century as II is now
A well known Delaware man, who hal
now attained the age Of 80 aud who pos
sesses al his facilities, said last week
Il owe my long life and my presen
healthy condition 20 q weak stomach.
This statement he satisfactorily ex
planned by telling how careful he hat
been since boyhood with his eating. Tn
ripe fruit or heavy pastry were like
poison to him. This had made him care
