had reached the scene, dragged the
burned woman to the upper floor.
Her body was denuded of clothing
and charred in places to the bone, it
being at once apparent that she was
fatally burned.
AS she lay on a blanket thrown about
her blackened body the woman spat
at those who sought to alleviate her
agony and remarked:
Il have got what 1 wanted. I said 1
would not live to see Easter"
There was five gallon can of gaso-
line in the cellar, and as there was no
explosion, those about the hotel say
that the woman undoubtedly poured
the oil over her clothing and set her
self afire. 1t is possible that she was
carrying oil up stairs to the kitchen,
and that it accidentally caught fire,
but this is believed not to have been
the case, as the woman had not been
directed to this action.
The woman was sent to B. Walther,
proprietor of the hotel, from the police
station six months ago. She was desti-
tute and was given employment. She
often acted strangely and threatened
to jump from the high bridge. Last
Saturday she told Grace Walther that
she would kill herself before Easter
Sunday.
The woman had baby in local in
stitution, which was recently adopted
and taken to California. She brooded
over the loss of the child, and gave it's
loss as the reason for desiring to end
her life.
The dead woman was about thirty
five years of age, and is said to have
relatives in st. Cloud.

GOOD AND POOR MEATS.
| State Experiment Station Will Show
Be- st. Paul Men How Much They

Differ.
For several seasons past the state expert
ment station at st. Anthony Park has been
trying to show the great difference between
Well-fnished and Unfinished meat. More es-
pecially during the past two or three years
has 1t been carrying on experiments in feed
ing good types and also inferior types Of
beef cattle.
Some of the dealers in the Twin Cities are
interesting themselves in the matter with
view Of impressing upon the public mind
the wonderful difference in the eating Of
carcass well formed and finished and of one
not so formed. n: ~ -e,af IL.
N lR steers t3r Of, Of different types were fed
at the same time In the class room to illus
trate the difference between good and in
ferior types of animals. Two Of them have
been slaughtered. Today a section of the
carcass of each will be on exhibition ct Mr..
Lulys retail market, 1872 Jackson street. st.
Paul. More especially will attention be
called to the contrast in the loin of the diff
are found. The butchers and dealers who
can find the time are cordially invited to
meet at the place mentioned at o'clock this
afternoon.
Competent judges have been secured to
give their opinion as to the respective merits
of the two carcasses. Col. W. w. Liggctt,
Prof. Shaw and Andrew Boss, the instructor
in dressed meats at the station, will also be
present.
1t may also be mentioned in this connec-
ton that Mr.. Luly has purchased four lambs
that are not yet We2neQ from the station.
They will be delivered this morning. They
weigh sixty-fve pounds each on an average,
and brought at the station 10 cents per
pound live weight.
1T is gratifying to notice." said gen.
tleman connected with the experimental farm
"that attention is thus being given to the
improvement of the quality of the meat in
St. Paul. Formerly the best in that line
was shipped East, but our dealers are trying
to so shape their trade that that thing must
stop. They believe that good meat is just
as necessary in st. Paul as anywhere else
But our citizens should remember that with
meat, as with everything else, high quality
! means increased cost. If the butchers of st.
Paul are to provide meat that is superlatively
good the customers for that meat must not
expect to get it for the same price charged
for samples of less complete finish"

boats to the head of Lake Pepin, and
there we would meet passengers bound
north, who had been transferred
around the lake by wagon. We ran
two boats, the Globe and the Time and
Tide. When the lake opened we. would
run to st. Louis and return, but those
noats never went higher than St Paul.

One day several steamers started to

of the boats, the Eolian, was sunk. and

one was drowned. Such things do not
happen now"
Capt. Bell said that the earliest date
OF the opening Of navigation within
his recollection was March a. but he
had forgotten the year. 1t was in the
early COS or the late sos. The latest
date was May /, 1856.
