COUNTY DADS DoINGs.
Plea of the Eamane Society Heard
without Action

The local humane society, througr it's at
torney, L. T. Chamberlain, appeared before
the board Of county commissioners at the
regular meeting of that body yesterday and
asked for financial help. The county board
asked Mr.. Chamberlain how much the hui
name society would like to have the county
contribute. Mr.. Chamberlain said that the
county board would be doing the handsome
thing if it donated S25 a month. ThereuDon
Mr.. Chamberlain was advised to submit the
petition in writing. in order that the com
mittee on ways and means might deliberate
upon it.
The board formally accepted the proposition
of the st. Paul Gas Light company to light
the county Jail for three years at $500 per
year. contract submitted by the county
attorney was ratified and approved.
Assistant County Attorney Zollman report
ed what had been done in reference to the
delinquent tax lists Of 1872, and suggested
that the auditor be empowered to have extra
help to prepare lists for the court, in the
contemplated action to set aside judgments.
On motion of Commissioner Hardick, the
county auditor will hire extra help. The
lists will require the filing out Of 1900 pages
of legal cap paper, with minute descriptions
Of property.
The board listened to the objections of the
Wisconsin Central Railway company, through
Attorney Mcdonald, against the reeonstruc-
ton Of the Arcade street viaduet The COM
mission holds that this bridge which is on
the main Travelled route to White Bear lake,
is insufficient to handle the traffic and is

POLICE AS HAVING BEEN
ROBBED.
OCCUPANT IN ONE OF THEM.
SHE LOCKED HERSELF UP AND
SCREAMED FOR HELP WITH
OUT ANY RESULT.
Mrs. e. TrainOr, of East Eleventh
Street Loses Some JeweIry
and Her Purse.

The terrorizing boldness of the bur-
glars and thugs operating in the city
was exemplified yesterday afternoon
shortly before o'clock, when the home
Of Miss Georgia Ross, 628 Jackson
street, was robbed, while Mrs. o. An
derson, ledger, was in the upper part
of the house, locked in her room and
screaming for help, after discovering
the presence of the burglars. The rob-
berS assured themselves that Mrs. An
derson was alone in the house and, af-
ter intimidating her by attempting to
force an entrance to her room, calmly
continued a search of the house down
stairs, where trunk was broken open,
and its contents of feminine wearing
apparel to the value of $50 carried
away.
The first intimation Mrs. Anderson
had of the burglars presence was when
she heard some one trying to open the
door to her room. She knew the occu-
pants of the other part of the house
were absent, and at once became
alarmed. In answer to the query as
to what was wanted, the man asked in
a gruff voice If the house was for rent.
Mrs. Anderson told him it was not,
when the intruder pushed savagely
against the door. Mrs. Anderson
screamed, and the man walked hurried
ly down stairs. In few moments he
returned and went UP into the attic,
where Mrs. Anderson could hear him
walking around and oVerhauling the
stored contents. Then Mrs. Anderson
opened her window and called loudly
for help. No one seemed to hear her,
however, and the burglar came down
stairs and proceeded to the lower hall
way, where the trunk was broken open.
Doubtless becoming alarmed at Mrs
Anderson's continued calls for assist
ance, the burglars made no attempt to
enter the rooms on the lower floor, but
contented himself with making d. wiup
the apparel in the trunk, consisting of
two white lawn dresses, silk evening
dress, a silk waist, a white lawn waist
and three gold studs. Mrs. Anderson
remained locked in her room until the
return of Miss Ross shortly after 6
o'clock, when the robbery was reported
to the police. The patrol wagon was
quickly sent to the scene of the bur-
glary, but no trace of the robber could
be found.

The following in brief is the story OF the
play. George Castriot, youngest son of John
Castriot, king of Epirus, has been saved from
the general massacre of his family on the
conquest of his country by Amurath H.. sui
tan of Turkey in 1412, educated in the Moslem
faith, trained to arms and exalted next in
command to Karen Bey of the Turkish army.
In secret, however, he has held the Christian
faith, and determined at an Opportune moment
to avenge the wrongs Of his family and coun-
try. Up to the opening of the play, A. D..
1444 he has been engaged in wars with
Moslem in Asia and Arabia, but upon be-
ing called to face the Christian army of John
Hunniades, he revolts, leaves the field with
10000 men, goes to Epirus and raises his
standard in opposition to the rule of Amurath.
During visit to the Christian camp he
meets and falls in love with Princess Iduna,
daughter of Hunniades. The play of Is

remarkable man in the pursuit of his love
and the liberation of his country.

WAS 1T AN AIR-SHIP.
Strange Light Engineer Hussey Saw
in the Heavens.

Engineer John J. Hussey, whose en-
CINE pulled the day train down from
Duluth yesterday over the Eastern
Minnesota, bring news of what is sup
posed to have been an airship which
scared over northern Minnesota early
Sunday morning, and which was seen
by number of reputable men. Be-
fore the sun had risen Sunday morn
ing, the night express on the Eastern
was eating up the distance, when En-
gineer Hussey noticed in the neighbor-
hood of Mansfield Hill, some $50 miles
from here, the strange looking aerial
body. Hussey called the attention Of
his fireman, John Henderson, and the
two agreed it was not a star. 1t was
large, white, long light which seemed
surrounded by some dark objects, and
it appeared to be moving in a north
westerly direction. While Hussey does
not give it as his positive opinion that
the strange object was an airship, he
is at a loss to explain what 1t was.
sit was still dark when we pulled
into Mansfield Hill, and 1 noticed the
queer thing, whatever it was said
Engineer Hussey last night at his home
en- Cedar street. 81 called the atten-
ton of my fireman, Henderson, to 1t,
and later, when stopping at a station,
to the conductor, J. w. Gilboy. He
was at loss to give it a name, though
he agreed it was not a star The air
ship, if it was such a thing, moved
toward Deerwood, where Night Oper-
ator Mason, who is quite a practical
joker, still says in earnest he saw the
aerial wanderer. Agent Campbell, at
Motley, Night Operator Harris, of the
Northern Pacific, as well as number
of their townspeople, claim they saw
the ship for nearly an hour before It
finally disappeared. Harris said the
object appeared to be about the size
of the moon, but that he still saw it
after daylight so there was no chance
to mistake 1t for the moon or star
Along the line we found the operators
They had heard of it's presence from
other operators, even along the line Of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cif1c. When we pulled into Duluth
Night Operator Evans told us he had
been advised by a number of his
friends along the line that they had
seen an airship. When Conductor Gill
boy and L told him what we had seen,
he was convinced that there was such
thing in the neighborhood. One sar-
castle fellow, when asked over the
wire if he had seen the ship, replied:
Yes, and on it appeared the legend
'Klondike or Bust"
Several of the more imaginative of
the boys described the exact shape the
color of the light, etc, but I do not
take much stock in all that. I do say
it was very peculiar object, whatever
it was"

MIR. HAwTHoRNE's SIDE OF 1T.
Denies the Allegations About the
Loan Associations.

J. M. Hawthorne was seen yester-
day by a G o reporter relative to
the charges made against himself and
Messrs Ki1ke and Hamilton in the
assignment of the st. Paul Savings and
Loan association, as reporter in the
Clio b of Sunday. Mr.. Hamilton
said that last April the legislature
passed a law enabling building socie-
ties to be cheaply and quickly liqui-
dated, when they thought that liqui-
dation would be for the best interests
of all concerned. The law requiring
them to be wound up by their officers
under the direction Of the public exam
liner.
"Under this law" said Mr.. Haw-
thorne, "the st. Paul Savings and
Loan association went into voluntary
liquidation and was proceeding rap
idly and successfully in its work when
the district court of Hennepin coun-
ty held the law to be unconstitutional.
One suit was brought by Mr.. Schriber
for non-resdents. Rather than put
up a bond, as L had moved the court
to require one, he consented to what [
considered a most advantageous set
tlement, viz, something less than 45
cents on the dollar But other suits
were threatened, and, in order to pre-
vent the assets from being eaten up
with litigation, the directors met and
decided to make an assignment to me-
1 did not want to take it, and only did
so because it was pointed out to me
that / could do the work cheaper than
a stranger, who would have to spend
time, and therefore charge for what
I already knew.
What about the charge in the COM
plant that you and Kirke and Hamil-
ton used the money received first to
paying salaries?"
ct is false said Mr. Hawthorne
81 never received a cent of salary
from the association in my life. Mr.
Hamilton has received 10 salary for
the past five years, and Mr. Kirke
who was secretary. only received the
usual compensation which such officers
receive in all building associations
Mr. Hawthorne certainly said that
no preferences were given, but that
settlements had been made under the
advice of the public examiner.
81 understand that certain man
wanted to be appointed receiver. and
there is the motive of all the charges, ,"
continual Mr.. Hawthorne. '"They ask

The concert opened with an ''Estudiantina"

applause continued until the ladies responded

tendency toward individuaIizing detracted
somewhat from the general effect, and in the

WIDENs IT'S SCOPE.
Civil Engineers Society to Increase
Its Possibilities.

The civil engineers of ST. Paul are
not exclusive. They propose to widen
the scope of their society, as told in
the G o b e last week, so that it will
include other branches of engineering
science.
At the meeting last evening of the
Civil Engineers Society of st. Paul
this proposition was discussed, as we'll
as the amendment to drop the word
civil from the title. The first change
met with enthusiastic favor, but most
of those present cling with reasonable
pride to the distinctive title of the
society as it is. The entire matter
went over for final consideration at
the annual meeting to be held Jan. 8.
The society at present includes civ
il, mechanical and mining engineers
and biologists, and has a membership
of about fifty. 1t is proposed to adj
NIT electrical and military engineers,
architects, metallurgists, assayers and
surveyors, which will probably double
the membership.
