CANNOT FIND HIS PAPER.
Those Who Paid for Ads In Tim
mons Calendar.

A clever swindler has recently been
operating in this city, and the police
are Of the opinion that he has secured
a large number of victims for small
amounts. The plan utilized was an ad-
vertising scheme, and most Of those
caught were among the parishioners
Of Catholic churches in different parts
of the city. The alleged swindler was
equipped with blank receipts, orna-
mented with a dolorous looking black
cross and represented himself to be
soliciting advertising for the Catholic
Church Calendar" a publication which
he said was to be gotten out in st.
Paul. The fellow visited retail mer-
chants in various parishes, and is
thought to have secured number of
victims for 81 each on the representa-
ton that this sum would pay for
display in the church calendar for the
months of June. July and August. To
those who appeared somewhat Skepu-
cal as to his scheme, the young man
told a story of having secured the en-
dorSement Of Father Gibbons, Of st.
Mary's parish, and declared that he
received the permission of Father Glib
hons to canvass his district. In West
ST. Paul the alleged swind1er exhibited
lengthy list Of names which he claim
ed to have secured as advertisers.
The mans presence in the city and
his supposed fraudulent operations
were brought to the attention of the
police by Father Gibbons yesterday.
Henry Meyers, a butcher at Collins
and De Soto streets, subscribed for
space in the publication on the repre-
sentation that the plan had the m
dorsement of Father Gibbons, but upon
inquiry, learned that the reverend gen
tleman knew nothing of the matter.
Father Gibbons had never seen the
young man who had called upon Mr..
Meyers, nor has he any knowledge of
a local publication known as the
Catholic Church Calendar. Mr.. Meyers
had a receipt for 81 signed by Joseph
Timmons, the name given by the solicit
tor, and this Father Gibbons turned
over to the authorities. The receipt
is dated May 81. 1t is believed that
the supposed swindler conducted his
operations during last month, and has
since left the city with whatever sum
he was able to realize. He is de-
scribed as man of about twenty-one
or twenty-five years Of age, weighing
40 pounds, smooth face, black hair
and eyes, slender built and wearing
light suit of clothes.

The improvement of the streets Of
the city through private enterprise was
the theme before a meeting of men and
women at the Kittson residence last
evening. The meeting was the idea Of
j. A Wheelock, president Of the board
of park commissioners. The success Of
the residents along a number of streets
in forming Improvement associations
for the care Of their own thoroughfares
suggested the idea that the women of
the city, if banded together, could

CHILD'S RIGHT SAVED.
Attorneys Error DIG Not Deprive
Her of Anything.

Her of Anything.
Some time ago A. n. Watson, Of Min
neapolis, as administrator of the estate
of his wife, Lena Watson, deceased,
brought an action against the St. Paul
City Railway company to recover the
statutory penalty of $4,000 for causing
the death of Mrs. Watson, who was
killed last fall as the result of an &C
cident that occurred on the Stryker
avenue street car line When the case
came up for trial before Judge Willis
and a jury, the defense moved for
judgment on the pleadings, on the
ground that Mr.. Watson sued for dam
ages as next of kin. Judge Willis
granted the motion inasmuch as I'M
der the statute the husband is not the
next Of kin to the wife. Mr.. Watson
then brought suit against the company
as administrator of the estate and
named in his complaint the eleven
year-old daughter of the deceased as
next of kin, in whose behalf the suit
was really instituted.
The defendant company served an
answer setting forth matters relative to
the previous adjudication and then
moved for Judgment on the pleadings,
contending that the judgment in favor
of the defendant company and against
the plaintiff constituted complete de-
Tense to the second action.
Judge Bum. before whom the motion
was argued, did not agree with the view
taken by counsel for the street railway
company, and held that the Judgment
in the former action was not a bar to
the second action In other words,
the error of plaintiffs counsel in draw
ing a defective complaint in the first
suit could not deprive the actual next
of kin of the deceased-namely the
infant daughter-of-e her day in court.
The motion forajudgment was accord
ingly denied.
