HE'S GETTING OLD.
Is the Man Whose Suspenders Are
Constantly Slipping OFF.

There are many signs indicating that old
age is coming man., remarked an aged
gentleman to a Star reporter but one Of the
surest is when he finds that his suspenders
have a way of slipping off the shoulders. At
first he thinks there is something wrong with
the suspenders, and he tries to remedy 1t by
tightening them up. For a while this cures
the trouble, but in a little while there is more
slipping, and he gets new pair Of suspenders
Even they slip off and make him feel I'M
comfortable. After awhile he discovers the
trouble is not with the suspenders. but with
himself. As years roll on a man he gets
more and more rOund-shouldered and unless
he has his suspenders braced up by connect
ing them with band behind the shoulders
he cannot keep them up. l remember some
years ago hearing two very prominent men
speaking of the fact that they were getting
old. One of them was at the tins vice pres
ident of the United States, and the other was
a leading senator. What makes you think
you are growing old? one OF them asked Of
the other. i found it out the reply. as
soon as | discovered that my suspenders
would not stay up That has been my eXpe-
rience also, came from the questioner
Neither of the gentlemen referred to had
reached his seventeen year. but they had
both discovered they were growing old by
the same incident in their lives. l have never
known it TO fail. After a man reaches sixty
his shoulders grow round steadily, and by the
time he seventy-fve his shoulders have lost
all their original size and formation. -

AFTER MORE NEWS.
Craig and Kirke Strike New Lead,
They Think.


They Think.
Certain members of the assembly
seem to desire further light on the
question Of private patients treated at
the city hospital A resolution was
passed by the council directing the
board Of control to report as to the
number of pay patients treated during
the year 1896 and the amount paid by
each In answer to this the board
submitted a detailed statement show
ing the names of the patients and the
amounts paid by each during the
months of the year 1896. The state
ment showed that 166 patients had been
treated and that IS, 437.03 had been re-
ceived, which had been duly paid into
the city and county treasury, one-third
going to the city and two-thirds to the
county. The report from the board
was referred to the committee on ways
and means of the assembly and came
up before the committee on Monday
afternoon. Messrs. Craig and K1rke'
two of the members Of the COMMITTEES,
decided that the report was not ex-
actly what they wanted, and Mr.. Craig
was directed to secure q detailed re-
port. In line with these directions
Mr. Craig has notified the board Of
control that information is wanted as
TO the following points:
Number of days care given to each private
patient?
Number of private patients treated in con-
tagious wards?
Number of private patients treated in pri-
vate rooms?
Number of private patients treated in gen
eral wards?
Number of private surgical cases in 1896?
Receipts from private patients in 1895 and
1896?
List of private patients in January, Febru-
airy and March, 1897 and amounts PAID by
each?
Mr.. Craig requested that the information
desired be handed to him previous to April
49, but as the demand will require consider
able clerical work it is not possible that the
figures can be compiled before that date

appellant in this case, is president of
the Union Iron works in Minneapolis
His son, Edward l.. Lockwood, is sec

pany. He married a fIressmaker and
a few months later v>is induced to de-
sert her.

that the evidence shows that the good
character of the wife could not be
questioned. Neither had the husband
and wife had any personal differences.
1t was plain that the husbands family
had brought about the separation and
1t is held that the SIS, 600 damages
awarded by the jury were not exces-
siVe. The decision was filed by Justice

STATE PRINTING BILL.
That Passed by the Senate Will
Help Some.

The action Of the senate in passing the
Sperry bill yesterday was a step toward the
victory of those who have been persistently
advocating a reform in the method of
handling the state printing. While the bill
is not as stringent as the Dare bill, which
will probably be superseded by it in the house,
it has in it at least provision which will
inure to the protection of the public treas
ury, and that it that the state shall not be
run into debt by the printing Of eXtravagant
reports. When the appropriation is ex-
hausted the state printing stops.
When any state officer, unless the publ1ca-
ton of his report is mandatory, becomes too
prolix, it is left to the printing commission
TO chop the report down to a stickful or SO,
in the technique of the printing office, and
turn it out as cheaply as consistent with
the public welfare, regardless of the per
sonal feelings of the ambitious official au-
thor. This will prevent a recurrence Of
the abuses which were shown in connection
with The printing of labor bureau and other
too yoluminous reports which went only to
cumEer " rarely visited shelves.
Another pariseworthy provision is Gained to
be that abolishing the maximum rate scheme
by which bidders for printing work bid at a
certain discount from a maximum scale
named by the law. The new bill provides
that the contractor shall submit his pro-
posal at fiat figure, just as he would to a
private individual OF firm, which the friends
of economy think seems to be the ordinarily
safe way Of doing business.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Tommy White, of
Chicago and Eddy Curry, Of this city, were
the principals in the star bout of twenty
rounds at the Broadway Athletic club arena
tonight. The referee decided in favor of the
Chicago man.
Kid Mccoy, who arrived here last Satur-
day from South Africa. was introduced by
Announcer Harvey, who stated that Mccoy

before the club offering the best inducements.
Just as soon as Mccoy stepped into the ring,
Creedon followed him and the two shook
he would give 5000, or so per cent of the
receipts of the house for go between these
middleweights. Charley White, who trained
Corbett fos his recent fight with Bob Fitz-
simmons, jumped up and said: 81 offer

thousand better, shouting out: II VIII give

INDIANS RIGHTS LIMITED.
Supreme Court Decision in a WyO-
ming Case.


Executive Agent Fullerton was like
q boy with a new pair of red-topped
boots yesterday. He was tickled al
the right to arrest Indians for shooting
and killing game on Or off the reserva-
tiCn, in season and out, was raised the
other day by the application for pardon
for the two Indians now serving SEN
tence for violating the game and fish
laws. Mr.. Fullerton began to look
over old law books. Yesterday he
found a similar case that had come up
at Wyoming. An Indian had been i'm
prisOned for killing some elk, and set
up the defense of treaty rights. The
case was carried to the supreme court
which decided that when the territory
was admitted to the state it was
given all the powers of the state That
includes police protection as applied 20
the protection of game. The treaty
rights might allow the Indians to hunt
and fish on the reservation, but did not
retain to the Indians the right to hunt
and fish anywhere else, except in the
season provided by the laws regulating
such matters.
Mr.. Fullerton thinks that the decision
of the supreme court is also applica bic
to Minnesota. He at once called the at
tentiOn of Attorney General Childs to
the decision and the general withdrew
to a quiet nook and began to look up
the Wyoming Indian treaties If they
are practically the same as those of
Minnesota. then the decision settles the
question in Minnesota. If the treaty
rights are different, it does not
A concurrent resolution, however,
will be introduced in both branches of

tons so that if the Wyoming decision

MONON MORE ACTIVE.
Chicago and Ohio River Time to Be
Reduced.

CHICAGO, April 13.-It is announced that
the MonOn road is about to enter into more
active competition than it has at any time
heretofore for a large share of the freight
business between Chicago. and the Ohio river
During the reeeiVership and since its ter
mination the road has been undergoing i'm
provements in its track and roadbed which
will enable 1t to run fast trains with no risk
and, when all of its arrangements are COM
pleted, II will probably go after the bust
ness with great energy. 1t is said that it
will handle freight between Chicago and
Cincinnati in less time, by twenty-four hours
than it has ever been handled up to tie pres
ent time.
The Chicago Railroad association was to
have held a meeting today, but took an
adjournment until it is called together by the
chairman. Owing to the changed conditions
that have arisen since the decision Of the
supreme court it is quite likely that many, If
not all, Of the Western roads will soon pull
out Of the organization, and 1t has been de-
cided that the association will not undertake
to transact any more business until after
the Western roads have been able to decide
definitely upon their future course.

ON A STRIKE.
Some of the Men on the Schultz
Block Quit.

Fifteen carpenters and four iron men at
work on the new Schultz block have struck
because Contractor Mcleod, of Minneapolis,
refused to grant their demand for a raise N
wa ges of az cents an hour.
They had been getting Is cents, and asked
for this raise because the work is worth it.
and because the contractors Of st. Paul are
none of them paying less than 1715 cents an
hour for skilled labor.
The iron men went out for the same rea-
son. They had been get ing 20 cents an
hour for tearing down, and demanded %, and
at the same time served notice that they
would not put up any new iron for that
I price.
Soon after the strike occurred four of me
carpenters went back, but the Offers remain
out and say they will not return for any
thing save the increase in pay they have de-
manded.
