WOMEN'S CLUB Project NIENACED
BY AN IMPROVEMENT SCHEME
OF TRUSTEES.

FOR OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.

torio Old sibley Homestead at
Mendoza.

q
The ST. Paul Trust company, which
Is in charge Of the Kittson estate, con-
templates the removal of the old
house, which has recently become ma
tionally famous as the scene of the
women's festivities during the encamp-
ment of the G.. A. r. for 1896, to the
part of the lot which faces Dayton
avenue. o4es.s
If this is done, it would in measure
injure the project for the establish
ment of the women's club there, as the
charming grounds were to be no small
factor in the selection of this location
for that purpose.
Other Obstacles too, have arisen, the
fact that some Of the clubs already
have gone to considerable expense in
establishing themselves in fitting quar-
tiers which they do not care to sur
render without some material induce
ment.
The Society of Fine Arts, too, has
closed lease for summer school in
the historic as well as picturesque old
Sibley house at Mendoza. Burt
HARDWOOD, the Minneapolis artist, has
held the lease of the property and has
occupied 1t as summer studio for
some time. He has now gone to Eur
ope for three years study, and the
local society considers itself very lucky
in securing the lease. The school will
open Oct. 9Th at the studio in the Met
ropolitan hotel, and the new quarters
at Mendoza will not be fitted up until
spring.

ROUNDING UP MAD DOGS.
West Side Police Have Some Di-
version These DAYS.

Residents Of the West side and par
ticularly those Of Prospect terrace, are
IN the throes of a mad dog scare and
cannes great and small are given a
wide berth by all who encounter them.
The panic has existed only a few days.
although the occurrence in which it
had it's origin dates back three weeks.
AT that time a handsome but illtem-
pered st. Bernard dog owned by Theo-
dore Stricken, who resides on Prospect
terrace, between Winslow and Bidwell
streets, after appearing ill and sulIen
several days, became very violent in
his actions and breaking his chain, ran
about the nefghbcfhood biting every
other dog he met. One luckless pug,
which happened to cross his path is
said to have had it's head almost en-
tirely bitten off. y The Stricken family
became alarmed at this unusual eX-
hibition of ferocity and the career of
the st. Bernard was ended by a police
man with a revolver Then the ex-
element died ,'out for the time being,
although the owners of some of the dogs
bitten by the st. Bernard feared rabies
| and were uneasy. A week ago last
night, Joseph Minea's pointer dog, one
of those which had been bitten, was
found to be suffering from a sore
threat and irritation of the stomach.
Mr.. Minea wishing to take every pre-
caution, at once called DR.. Price the
veterinary surgeon and although the
symptoms thus far. developed were not
necessarily alarming, they do appear
In rabies and the animal was uuaran-
tined in a vacant store next to Mr..
Minea's house. On the following day,
paralysis of the lower jaw set in and
by degrees the extremities became
paralyzed, whereupon the veterinarian
pronounced the case to be unmistak-
| ably one of rabies. The dog was re-
moved to DR.. Prices infirmary where
he died Friday night. An autopsy held
yesterday afternoon confirmed the doc
tor in his opinion.
This case DR.. Price describes as mute
rabies in which the victim does not at
any time become violent and which is
easily mistaken for some other disease.
The st. Bernard, he says, was afflicted
with what is known as the rabid form
Of the disease, which is readily recog-
nized.
While the st. Bernard was at liberty.
he bit many other dogs and the officers
or the Ducas street station are making
every effort to quarantine all Of these
animals. One owned by Gotfrid Hine-
baugh and two others, whose owners are
not known, were caught yesterday and
confined.

and the necessity of arousing sound
money enthusiasm. 1t was a big night
for the Swedish voters of that ward,
and they opened the evenings pro-
gramme with a big parade, which was
headed by the Young Mems RepubH-
can club and the club drum corps.
There was no need of a drum corps
to summon the crowd, for the hall
at Payne avenue and Wells street was
packed to overlooking. The speaker
Of the evening was Hon. o. G. Peter
son, of Chicago, who spoke in the
Swedish language upon the issues of
the campaign. The interest In the dis

well posted upon the currency ques-
ton, and dwelt very largely upon this
topic. The cheering each time the

Judge F'landrau and Gen. Clapp ad-
dressed the Railway Mems Sound

speakers arrived, shortly before 8
o'clock, the usual work-train was on

shops, and all who did not care to at
tend the sound money meeting left on
that train as Is their usual custom.
About 200 of the workmen did not care
to remain.

Marmaduke had come into the river with
the avowed determination Ito blow the Ma

previous, accompanied by Lieuts. Howell
and Ellet, of the Generals staff, had gone
in command of flag of truce party out on
the Black River, in the rear of Nicksburg, to
arrange for an exchange of prisoners.
We encouraged the Johnnies TO talk,
though their officers were disposed to be
reticent; and through some boastful hints
dropped we gathered information of an in
tended attack upon our command from some
quarter. Whether it was because of the in
formation thus secured, or because of fuller
information otherwise obtained, I am not

Baltic were supplied with heavy artillery

A Confederate Widow,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The act OF
March 5, 1883, of the State of Virginia,
granting pensions to Confederate soldiers
and widows of such, provides that they
must not own property to the assessed value
of $1,000, and that their income does not
amount to $500. There is no other restric-
ton beyond that the man must have been
manned or disabled in "the war between
the States" and in the case Of a widow that
the husband must have lost his life in the
discharge of his duty in the military service
of the Confederate States. Under this some
terrible characters are drawing pensions.
In this neighborh0od is q woman named
Ella V. Gordon, who is drawing q pension
from the State, her husband having died in
1862; but she has had six Legitimate chill
dren, five of whom are living and she keeps
dsreputable house with two of her lille
ultimate daughters. The Culpeper Enter
prise in its issue of April Is, after describ-
ing racket" at her place, predicts a
lively time at "Ella's" soon, as she has
promised to give the boys a regular blow
outn after she draws her Confederate pension.
The State authorities have been written to
in the matter by parties who do not wish to
be taxed to maintain disorderly house, but
who made no objection to the State support
ing the lllegitlmate children until the fight
ing and shooting commenced. The State
authorities admit that under the act of the
Assembly, mentioned above, they are pow
erless to act, but her case will be laid before
the Legislature Mt its next session, and a
general act covering such cases will be rec
commended to be passed.
l cite this case, and 1 suppose there are
numbers of such in the South, to show how
liberal they are towards Confederate PEN
sioners, but the Talberts always overlook
such cases at home in their efforts to pick
flaws in pension legislation for Union sol
diers If such n case as the Widow Cor
dons was to be found on the United States
pension list the HOrld and Times would
have column after column about it, with
illustrations. | omitted to say that the
widow is pretty well off, too, having consid-
cradle money in bank and slowed away, be-

He Played.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: While our
regiment, the Cd N. Y. Vet. Cav, was
quartered at Talladega, Ala, at the close of
the war, became acquainted with Lieut.
Col Elliot, of the 10th Ala Confederate !,
who told me story of Gen. b. NJ Prentiss.
Prentiss, who was captured at Shiloh. was
imprisoned in the courthouse at Talladega
with other officers taken at the same time.
Col Elliot (then Captain) was Provost
Martial, and had charge of the prisoners
One morning the General asked Elliot to
send his iron teakettle up to the hotel and
get it filled with coffee. Prentss handed
him $40 bill. His men being all busy the
Captain took theokettle himself got the
coffee, handed out the $40 greenback and
waited for the change.
That's right" saad the landlord.
What said the Captain, you are not
going 10 charge Gen. Prentiss $40 for that
kettle of coffee =? !"
Yes, am, and if it were 500 1 would
take it all from the---z Yankee"
well" said the Captain, can't go back
to the General without something more than
this coffee for his $50. You must give me o
receipt, or he may think that 1 have kept
his money"
The receipt was given and taken with the
coffee to the General. The Captain said
General, this is an outrage, and if you
will allow it will pay that $40 out of my
own pocket"
"No, Captain" said the General, an
keep the paper, and I'll make it cost him
many times $10.n
When Gen. Wilson came through Talla-
dega he heard the story of the coffee, and
that hotel was left heap Of blackened
ruins.-LEvI j. GROOM, Chief Bugler, I'd
