DEED TO RIGHT OF WAY
Terminal Company Acquires Title to
Land that Has Been in
Litigation.

A quit claim deed was filed Tuesday from
Ed T. Stotesenbury to James w. Paul, jr.,
for the eight and three-tenths acres Of the
old Horbach property conveyed by Mrs.
Mary F. Burke to Mr.. Stotesenbury for the
Omaha Bridge and Terminal Railway com
pany last June. Mrs. Burke sold the land for
sac 900. 1t includes the fortyfoot strip over
which the company and John A. Scott,
trustee for the Omaha Loan and Trust COM
pany, and the Omaha National bank have
been litigating in the district court. Scott
is endeavorng to enjoin permanently fhe
Omaha Bridge and Terminal company from
using this forty foot strip, as this strip
would give the company right OF way south
erly past the old wire works to the intersec-
tion OF Fourteenth and Nicholas streets. The
deed to Paul is for the purpose of strength
ening the position of the Terminal company
in this fight.

A meeting OF the committee Of ways and
means for the proposed hospital was held
at Dr.. c. NJ Schndel's office Tuesday even
ing and it was decided to wait upon the
managers Of the corporations one day this
week for the purpose Of ascertaining what
sum would be pledged for the maintenance
OF the proposed institution. 1t is estimated
that it will cost $500 month to properly
operate the new hospital and unless the
railroads. packers and stock yards will
agree TO contribute enough monthly to make
up this sum the plans will have to be ma
terialy changed.
The committee to wait upon the corpora
tions is composed Of DR.. w. J. McCrann.
Dr. c. NJ. Schindel, John Flynn, j. NJ. Tan
ner and w. S. King. Nearly all of the
physicians in the city have subscribed for
stock in the proposed hospital and quite a
sum will be raised in this manner.

A prominent party OF Philadelphians came
In early yesterday morning from California
where they had been spending the winte-,
and, missing their train connections for the
east, they remained over until evening
stopping at the Mllard. During the day
they spent the time visiting points OF inter-
est in and about Omaha 4 drive was en-
joyed to the exposition grounds and a trip
was also taken to the South Omaha packing
houses. The party consisted OF E. A. Ben
ners, lumber dealer, and his wife; 4. J.
Benners, his son; Mrs. a. j. Benners, Mr..
and Mrs. Dwight Sweetzer, L. W. Reeves
and Miss Jennie Riley. They were accom-
panied also by Mr.. and Mrs. Dudley sharp
of Wilmington, Del. Mr.. Sharp is interested
in locomotive works and a big car building
industry.

said Mr.. Benners, ST; but for fear we
might get too much of good thing we
made up our minds to return home. think
we started back a little too early, consider
ing the kind Of weather we have experienced
since leaving the coast, but we did not eI-
pect to find It spring yet, however.
The people in California seem to be very
generally opposed to annexing the Philip
pines. The reason for this, l naturally as
sumo, is that on the coast there has always
been strong feeling against Asiatics of the
Mongolian kind and the people fear the an
nexing Of the Philippines will in time cause
the coast to be flooded with that class OF
cheap labor. For the same reason there was
more antagonism in California against the
annexing Of Hawaii than in any other Sec
tion Of the country The Chinese question
is sore one with the Californians and no
one can blame them for taking the position

...AMUSEMENTS..,

Tommy Getz's farce comedy "A Night in
Bohemia" was repeated at Boyd's theater
again last evening for sweet charity's sake,
this time for the benefit OF the Thurston
Rifles, and neat little sum was realized,
which will go far toward helping out the
company fund Noticeable among the
decorations OF the theater we're two large
Spanish flags which were captured by the
Rifles during the fighting previous to the
surrender of Manila. The play, which can
truthfully be said TO rank alongside some
OF Hoyt's best farces, was given the same
splendid presentation that made it such
success when given for the benefit of the
Elks' lodge early in the month. Aside from
well rendered recitation on "Old Glory"
by Lee Estelle and a few new jokes the per-
formance was practically the same, includ
ing specialties and songs. Lillian Emsley,
who is quite a talented little miss, won ad-
ditional favor as Dolly Mobiles, while George
p. Cronk convinced more fully these who
saw him before that he Is, although only an
amateur, as good an actor as the majority
that travel with the farce comedies that
visit Omaha. Many OF the others in the
cast are worthy OF especial mention.
The Grand Peace Jubilee concert given by
the Mems club at the Hanscom Park Meth
odis. church last evening attracted an au-
dience that taxed the seating capacity of the
edifice to it's utmost. The entertainment was
given to raise funds to make up deficit IN
che amount of money necessary to meet the
church expenses and it proved a success
financially as well as musically.
The music was under the direction of w.
J. Stevens, who was assisted by Miss Jo-
sephine Thatcher, the accompanist. The fea-
ture OF this part of the program was the
singing of a male chorus of forty voices. The
audience was hearty in its applause and the
several singers and speakers merited the ap-
proval their efforts received.

| New York, June 12.-There was evil
dence Of large buying by powerful
financial interests in a limited number of
stocks and of manipulation to advance
prices of the others in the stock market
to-day. Speculation otherwise was in a
somewhat quiescent state. Outside of
the special cases where prices We're sup
ported the tone was very heavy. Many
of the railroads ranged downwards
within the limits of a point during the
early trading. There was organized
buying throughout the day Of Federal
Steel, which was marked up nearly 3
points and closed at most nearly the
top, There was some sentimental effect
exerted by this on other steel stocks,
American Steel and Wire responding
late in the day ON covering Of shorts.
But none of the gains in the group were
held outside of Federal Steel. The So
called power stocks were all well sup
ported and Brooklyn Transit shared its
strength with Metropolitan Street Rail-
way and Manhattan. This group of
New York traction stocks showed the eff"
fects of realizing from time to time dur
ing the day and Manhattan was dragged
below last nights closing by its weight.
The grangers were taken up at one
time, st. Paul in lead, but did not retain
all of the gain and in some instances
more than lost it's gain. The coalers
We're well sustained also. Other points

Sugar fluctuated up and down during
the whole day, but always above Sat-
urday's level 1t rose at one time 8
points, but lost it before the close There
was no evidence of outside demand to
keep the market up and the railroad
group showed itself affected by the
heavy tone of the. foreign stock ex-
change on account Of the political trou-
bles.
The engagement of an additional ST.
100000 of gold for export tomorrow, al
though the probability of it had been
intimated, also weighed on the market.
No effect was apparent in the money
market, which continued decidedly
quiet. Exchange market also, although
it hardened a shade, continued broad
fraction below the point where experts
can figure a profit on gold exports 1t
is in fact generally admitted that tho |
gold movement is due to actual buying
of the gold in this market to replenish |
the reserve Of the Bank Of England and |
probably also for Russian purposes.
There is a precisely similar operation to
that undertaken by the United States |
government through syndicate to re-
plensh the gold in the treasury during |
the last administration. 1t is to be |
noted that while the foreign money |

DANGEROUS PETS.

| While engaged on an inquiry into the
sources of bacillary infection in cases
which have recently come under my no.
| tice l have been struck by the number OF
| patients who have lived in contact with
! diseased canaries and other feathered
| pets. Among cage-birds, pigeons, and
poultry tuberculosis is a common dis
ease, and there is a strong probability
that avian infection can be conveyed to
human beings who keep birds within the
house. The Objectionable practice of al
lowing them to place their beaks in con-
tact with the lips is a risky and danger
Gus proceeding as regards liability to re-
ceive bacilli in this way if the bird is
not healthy Flies can also convey filth
and with it disease germs from the cage
to human food, or the dust of dried ex-
crement and mucus may pollute the air
of any room in which birds are kept.
Feeding and nursing sick birds and
blowing the dust and husks from their
seed and cleaning the cage are not with
out danger. In my opinion, the canary
or any other bird kept in the kitchen IS
a positive peril to the household as by
futtering and whisking the dust from its
cage or mucus from its beak, the food of
a whole family can be contaminated.
Parrots can also be attacked by tuber-
Gle, which is characterized frequently by
new growths of horny skin, which some
times attain a considerable size. They
can be easily broken off, and they con-
tain numerous tuberce bacill in their
basal granulation tissue. tuberculosis
of the lungs and conjunctiva Is often
met with. According to a compilation
by Eberlein the skin was affected in fif
ty-two per cent the tongue in sixteen
per cent. and the bones and articula-
lions in twelve per cent. of all the cases.
From a diagnostic point of view, it is
important to note that the tuberculosis
of parrcts Is distinguished by the pres
ence of an enormous number of bacilli.
Psittacosis, an infectious disease of par
rots, has already been observed to cause
a, serious and atal pneumonia, of
special type, transmitted from these
birds to man. In 1892 about fifty per-
sons in Paris were attacked; since that
time other nilder epidemics have been
noticed and studied by Gilbert, Fourier
and Debove. AT the same time, Nocard
was fortunate enough to isolate short,
thick bacillus with rounded ends. and he
gave a description of it before the Con-
sell d'Hygiene in 1893 Cadiot contribu-
ted a paper on tuberculosis of the small
err animals, and pointed out that dogs
and cats were much more liable to tu-
bercle than was generally supposed.
Tuberculous dogs spread infection by
nasal discharge, by eXcrement, by urine
and by LESSONS of the skin; cats equally
In the same manner. One Of the cats
examined had a large liberated wound
of the nose. Cadiot also noticed eXter-
nal tuberculous LESSONS as being fire.

Subsequent inquiries which I ad-

extreme risk he ran Of being caught, he
had had two duplicate keys of the safe

them in the lock- some color might be
lent to his assertion that he had been
anticipated by another thief. The ex
tremely clever contrivance of his false
teeth, however, was, of course, his chief
doeuvre, and he had put the blue dia-
nonds into these marvelously contrived
receptacles the moment he took them.
Hardly were the teeth safely back in his
mouth before the risk which he feared
eventuated, and he was pounced on by
the Waterman.
