Prosperous Condition of Affairs

free from debt, according to the annual
report Of the commissioners, adopted at
yesterdays meeting. The old indebted
ness was $13,10S31.

were $282, 95475; disbursements, $254,-
22686, of which $142, 1S0.O4 was for oper-
ating expenses.
The balance of $28, 1877 80 includes an
advance payment of S28, 53126 on the
taxes of 1897, to be applied on park
maintenance for the ensuing year. This
left a cash balance of $196 on hand on
April 1, exclusive of the payment nam
ed.

duction in appropriations for mainten-
ance would imperil the park. Recon-

Rock Island Seeks to Recover
on a Big Claim.
Sues the Hannibal & st. Joe
Road For S1,615,625.
PAIDIN TOLLS
Claimed as Overcharges at Kan
saS City Bridge Since 1850.
Union Pacific Reducing Wages
and Employees.

Chicago, April 23-Suit has been
brought in the United States circuit
court of the northern district of Illinois
whereby the Rock Island expects to OBJ
tain S1,615,625 from the Hannibal & St
Joseph railroad.
The Rock Island claims the Rock Is
land owes it that amount for over
charges in Kansas City bridge tolls
since 1880.
1t is claimed that the Rock Island
made a contract with the the Hannibal
d st. Joseph road in 1879 for the use of
the bridge>and agreed to pay toll for all
passengers and freight it should trans
port over the bridge. 1t was, however
expressly provided in the articles of
agreement that if any other railroad
ment of the term of the lease, be per-
mitted to transport freight or passen-
gers over that bridge upon the payment
OF tolls lower than those specified in
the Rock Island contract, those tolls
should be reduced to correspond with
such reduced rates.
In June, 1880, the Wabash secured a
contract for the use of the bridge on
payment of tolls lower than those spec
flied in the contract with the Rock Is
land.
Since that time, it is charged, the
Hannibal & st. Joseph railroad has de-
manded and received from the Rock Is
land the full tolls specified in the orig
inal agreement. The Rock Island con-
tends that the tolls it has paid from
January 1, 1880, until now should be
cut down to correspond with the reduc-
ed rates paid by the Wabash railroad.

DESERTERS ARE DROWNED
Four of a New Crew Meet Death in
Upper Bay.

New York, April 23.-Four seamen of
the British ship Dunfermline were
drowned in the upper bay last night
while deserving their ship. They at
tempted to reach New York in life
boat they stole from the ship and are
believed to have been run down by a
tugboat.
The boat in which they deserted from
the ship was picked up by a passing
tugboat off Governor Island this
morning cut in two. Nothing has been
heard of the men who manned her.
The Dunfermline cleared yesterday at
the custom house for Shanghai. She ar
rived here on March s from Calcutta
and discharged her crew. Early last
week her commander, Captain Wood
ward, applied to shipping agents for a
new crew. He got thirty.
The four who were drowned last night
We're led by a man named O'Toole, who
gave them the impression, it is said
that the ship was unseaworthy and
begged them for their own safety to de-
sert. The deserters had each received
$50 advanced wages.

STEAK WAS TOUGH.
Conductors Jaw Was Dislocated by a
Section of Restaurant Beef

New York, April 23.-David Colligan,
25 years old, a Brooklyn conductor, en-
ployed by the Nassau Electric Railroad
company, entered a restaurant at Rock
away avenue and New Lots road early
this morning and ordered a steak.
COllingan was mildly surprised at the
resistance offered by the steak to knife
and fork, and his surprise was changed
into Indignation when he attempted to
chew the piece.
Suddenly he ceased struggling. His
jaws were opened to their fullest eX-
tent. The frightened waiter expected
roar of angry protest to issue forth,
but to his relief the jaws remained fix
ed. Gradually a look of agony and ap-
peal spread over as much of COlliganS
face as remained in view.
Then the waiter realized what had
happened The steak had obtained a
stay of proceedings by dislocating Col
1ganS jaws.
Ambulance Surgeon Merriam was
summoned from st. Johns hospital He
quickly relieved the sufferer.

1t is undoubtedly a fact that our

robust sons and daughters, and did not
become weak, complaining invalids as a
consequence.
There are probably several reasons for
this. One is, that they lived more in the
open air, and another, and probably the
most influential of all, is that they were
less prudiSh than the women of to-day.
They were not ashamed to know something
of their own physical makeup. They were
not too nice to take care of their health in
9 womanly way. Women NOWADAYS suf-
fer untold tortures in silence, because of
weakness and disease of the distinctly
feminine organism, rather than consult a
physician, or even talk upon the subject to
their own husbands. They imagine that
troubles of this description can only be
cured by undergoing the disgusting exam
