the school income. They were given
him. He was told that for the year
just ending there had been appropriat-
ed the sum Of $455, 900, further that
for the coming year there would be a
total income Of $569,000, out of which
$1S7, 900 would have to go to meet tax
certificates already issued. This would
leave a balance available of $409, 1000,
but Of this amount $4,000 had
been set aside for new build
ings and other improvements. Mr..
Stewart was told that the 100000 was
merely approximated, and might pos
sibly all not be forthcoming.
Mr.. Zimmerman said the whole ques-
ton was a matter of money, and that
the city had outgrown its present char
ter. To Mr. Schurman's query, as to
how the board hoped to save money by
the school consolidation, Mr.. McNair
explained that by consolidation of the
pupils and teaching force, a saving
of something over $4,000 could be effect
ed, but Mr.. Schurman thought this
would react to the disadvantage of
some of the transferred pupils who
could not be given as good attention as
under the present plan.
Mr.. Scholle explained that 1t was the
city charter which prevented the board
from having any more money than is
at present available. The provisions
of the charter were mandatory, and
provided that not more than 2h mills
shall be taxed.
The details Of the plan to shorten
up the term was discussed most in
formally by most Of those present, it
being evident that the visitors prefer
red this plan to that Of closing up their
branch schools. 1t was explained the
schools, if closed at all to shorten up
the term, should be closed in the win
ter when the cost of lighting and heat
ing might also be cut off.
The champions of the schools stuck
to their position, but it is a question
whether the ard was pl eel any nea--
err a solution of the problem by the
meeting last night or not

Watson Renews the Suit.

Albert N. Watson, as administrator of the
estate of Lena E. Watson,i deceased has be-
gun another action against the st. Paul City
Railway company to recover: $1,000 damages
for causing the death of Lena E. Watson.
Mrs. Watson was the wife of the defendant.
The complaint alleges that on Sept. A, 1895,
Lena E. Watson, while a passenger on a
Stryker avenue car, was so injured by reason
of the car jumping the track and running
down hill and against the bluff at the foot
thereof that she died from the effects OF
these injuries.
The former action brought by the plaintiff
was dismissed by Judge Willis, on the ground
that. under the statute, the husband was not
the wifes next Of kin, as alleged in the COM
plant. The plaintiff has amended the com
plant in his second action by inserting a
clause setting forth that LENA e. Watson
tiff, her widower, Albert N Wa son, and her
daughter, Lura Mary Watson, aged II years. .

NO PROFESSIONAL SECRET.
Doctors Not Exempt From Telling
Their Debtors.

Judge Brill rendered decision yesterday
of interest to the public in general and to
physicians in particular. In the course of
supplementary proceedings in an action
brought against DR.. A. ]. Stone, the doctor
declined to disclose the names of patients
who owe him money, basing his refusal to an
sional privilege. The plaintiffs attorney
thereupon OBJ. aimed an order requiring DR..
Stone TO show cause why he should not
answer such questions as might be put to him
concerning his property, debts due him. etc
The hearing took place before Judge Brill
yesterday forenoon, Herman Oppenheim act
ing as attorney for DR.. Stone, and Mr.. Cava-
nagh representing the plaintiff.
Mr.. Oppenheim made a strong plea in be-
half of DR.. Stone and the sacredness of the
raiE tons between a physician and his pa
tients. To disclose the information desired
by Mr.. Cavanagh would be ruinous to his
client.
Mr.. Cavanagh quietly stated that all he
wanted was justice. DR.. Stone owing his
client bill for period of several years, and
it was neither justice nor common sense that
the doctor could shield himself behind the
barrier of privilege so-called.
DR.. Stone grew excited, and, rising, re-
quested that he be allowed to address the
court
Judge Brill told the doctor that it would be
more businesslike if he allowed his attorney
to do the talking.
Mr.. Oppenheim made another plea in be-
half not of his client. but of the patients
He admitted that various parties were owing
the doctor for professional services.
Judge Brill took hand. He said he ap-
preciated the situation, but it was no more
than right or fair that the plaintiff should get
his money, if not from the doctor, then from
those who were owing the doctor. 1t would
be queer state of affairs if different rule
of law should apply to professional man
than any other party. If that was the case
a doctor or a lawyer would never have to pay
anybody unless he saw fit. ~ 81.
Judge Brill made an order that the de-
PENDANT appear before the referee next Friday
and that he answer the questions put to him.
Failing in this that he be committed to Jail
until he did answer.
1--WE can't do it: we can't do it." said Mr..
Oppenheim, after the order was made. 1t will
ruin u.s. We propose to appeal from this or
der!''
Mr. Cavanagh said he had no objections to
the matter being appealed provided the de-
PENDANT gave sufficient bond.

ROB A RESTAURANT.
Three Bays Make Successful Raid
During Business Hours.

uuartette of boys planned and executed
a daring robbery of the Portland restaurant
and bakery All Broadway street. at O'Clock
last evening, securing as their booty loaf
of bread. several fists full of cookies and
81 in money. The nerve of the boys was
worthy of a better cause. Watching an OPP
portunity when Miss Alma Lundblad, the
propr:etress of the establishment, was some
distance from the cash drawer, though nearly
twenty people were eating at the tables, the
youngsters made sally into the room, and
while one went for the cookies, another for
the bread, the third wrenched open the cash
drawer grabbed all the loose change in sight,
when the three embryo bandits vanished
through rear doorway like specks on the
evening horizon. The loaf of bread was
handed to a confederate on the outside, as was
IS cents of the stolen money. and while the
"stall' stood perfectly unconcerned, several
of those who had witnessed the sortie rushed
after the real culprits. They failed to catch
them, however, but clue to their identity
was afterward found, when the mother of
the youth who had received the bread and
rs cents marched him by the ear back to the
restaurant after learning the story Of the
raid. Besides the change in the drawer, there
was $40 in cigar box which the youngsters
overlooked. Detectives Gruber and Murnane
have the case in charge and expect to round
up the juvenile robbers

ment is made:
IF the lone woman happens to be
going to New York city, she need have
no dread of landing alone in the con-
fusion of big strange place. if she
travels by the New York Central All
she has to do is to speak to one of the
red-capped attendants-free service
who will carry her bag. answer her
questions and show her to cab, car or

Another thing, she lands right in the

this is the only railroad depot in all

the existing advantages of trade
with the United States are pointed out
to them.
Az present we are laboring under
difficulties. Much of the money in
vested in South America came from
England. Many OF the business men
there are English, and they naturally
look to their native country for what
they want. There are better means OF
communication between London and
Rio Janeiro than between New York
and that port, so that when New York
ers desire to go to South America they
first Cross the ocean to London or
Liverpool and then take ship back
again. So long as this is necessary II
will not be easy to build up our South
American trade. There is imperative
need for line of passenger and
freight steamers between New York
and South American ports that offers
such advantages to travellers both for
business and pleasure that they will not
go by way of England. We have NO
doubt that the American Manufactur-
ers' Association, which set on foot the
movement leading to the appointment
of a committee of representative bust
ness men to receive the visitors. is
aware of this need and will attempt to
see that IL is supplied.

fighter, was in charge of the exhibi-
ton. He was ably assisted by that
veteran fireman Of the Water Witch
Company City Treasurer Joseph K.
Adams. George r. Wentworth, presi.
dent, and George II. Carpenter, treas
urer OF the Howard Company, came all
the way from New York yesterday
morning to take part in the exhibition.
Carpenters worked hard all the
morning, and an hour before the time
scheduled for the test, had ready a
closet. like arrangement constructed OF
yellow pine, which they saturated with
North Carolina pine-tar. The dimen-
sions of the closet were about IL feet
height, feet breadth and 3 feet depth.
In order to generate the greatest posi-
BILE heat, Mr.. Galloway secured a guam
tity Of kerosene, and with a tin can
thoroughly drenched the interior of the
closet. Then he placed several news
papers on the floor and side of the
closet Pulling out his match-case, he
struck a match. This was the signal
tor the crowd to retreat. Mr.. Galloway
gently applied the match to one of the
papers and in less than twenty seconds
the structure was being devoured by
huge flames, the heat from which
caused the crowd to move back farther
The flames rose to such height and
developed such heavy clouds of smoke
that many persons in the crowd began
to doubt the ability of the fire extin-
guisher to check them. With one of the
long tin tubes containing the effective
powder, President Wentworth rushed
from the crowd in the direction of the
fire. At distance of three or four feet
from the fire he raised the tube as high
as his head and threw the powder at
the base of the flames. In less time
than it takes to tell it the flames van
ished.
An inspection of the closet after the
fire was extinguished revealed the fact
that half the quantity of the powder
thrown was lying on the floor, indicat-
ing that the other half had done the
work and proving that only a small
quantity was required to kill the fire
In two or three subsequent trials the
extinguisher behaved in "Jim-dandy'
fashion. Another test will be given on
the same lot tonight

OUR SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE


The visit of representatives of South
American commercial associations to
this country ought to mark the begin
ming of closer business relations be-
tween the two American continents.
The American Manufacturers Associa-
ton last year sent a committee south of
the equator to inquire into the possi-
bility Of increasing trade with that
region. The report was favorable. We
all believe that the United States
should find a market on this side of the
ocean for more of their manufactured
products than are sold here. We also
believe that if a concerted attempt were
made to develop the South American
trade 1t would grow to large proper.
tions, and that the intimate connection
which at present exists between Gread
Britain and the southern continent
would be weakened in our favor. The
visit Of the South Americans here in
dicates that there is a willingness OF
their part to cooperate with us and tC
make this part of the world more and
more sufficient unto itself. The bust
ness men in charge Of the reception o.
the visiting delegates will see to it tha
