Max. Haskell. a peddler living at sos
Robert street made an attempt at noon
yesterday to- end his life by drinking half
an ounce OF carbolfc acid. His brother
in-law discovered that Haskell had taken
poison almost, Immediately afterwards
and sent for doctor and called the city
hospital ambulance at once. The hospital
physician stated last night that the man
was seriously Ill, and though dangerously
injured by the poison, had small chance
Of recovery. The prompt arrival of, DR.
Wirth after the attempt at suicide alone
prevented the mans death yesterday.
Just before noon yesterday, while NJ
Levin. brother-in-Iaw of Haskell, and
H. Rosen were sitting in, the dining room
of their home on Robert street, Haskell
came down stairs hurriedly and going
into the parlor, closed the door. lie came
out quickly in a few minutes and went to
the back door. where he threw q bottle
into the yard and then. as IL at second
thought, stepped outside and crushed it
under his boot He entered the house and
not long after was taken ILL. Levin went
into the yard and found the bottle. A
smell Of the acid told what had been
done and, putting the man in bed at
once. he ran to the nearest drug store
and teIephoned DR.. With and the city
hospital. The doctor arrived shortly
afterwards and administered antidotes in
an effort to cou9teraet the effect of the
poison. DR. Leavitt also arrived later and
the man was sent to- the city hospital.

AGAINST IMPURE MILK.

on a New Crusade

Health Commissioned Ohage Starts
on a New Crusade.
Health Commissioner Ohage has deter
mined to wage a war of determination
II necessary, against the dealers in i'm
pure milk, and with this object in view
he will demand that a proper ordinance
preventing the evil shall be passed by the
council.
It intend said he, in referring to the
subject yesterday, ito go before the
committee on license of the aldermen and
the assembly at the next meetings and
request the passage of an ordinance that
will afford proper protection to the pub
lie of st. Paul against the practice Of
certain dealers I'm selling diseased or i'm
pure milk. The people at large have no
idea of the evil effects of this practice
or Of the extent to which it is carried
1t has come to the pass that not only the
health, but the very existence of our
children especially is involved, and I re-
gard 1T as a crying shame that some &C.
ton has not been taken before to pre-
vent the worse than criminal practice
1t Is a we'll established fact to scientists
and every physician that impure milk Is
the breeder of tuberculosis and diseases
common to children, and. especially of
spine and hip maladies, and heretofore
the public has had no protection from
the mercenary interests of milkmen and
the value of diseased cows being placed
above the lives OF our children who are
the helpless victims of the traffic"
The proposed ordinance will be framed
very much like the one In force in Min
neapolfs, which has had the sanction of
the supreme court.

KICKS ON THE JUGGLE
PRESIDENT KIRKE SAYS THE
CHARTER DOESN'T ALLOW
TRANSFER OF FUNDS
ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN DONE
Horst Was Asked to Make to the
Conference Committee Is Submit
ted-The Assemblyman and the
Comptroller Have a Tilt Over the
Way Business Has Been Done.

The dull routine that has ordinarily
characterized the stated and perfunetory
meetings Of the conference committee was
broken for an interval at yesterdays ses-
sion of this staid and august body by a
passage at arms between President Kirke,
of the assembly, and Comptroller McCar-
day, and while there was no blood shed,
the tilt may be taken as an earnest of
the battle that may come.
In the meantime Mayor Kiefer and the
other members of the committee looked
on askance as though the fun was rel
ished, although. like the man in the play,
they were not saying word.
When the conference committee met a
special report was submitted by City
Treasurer Hurst in response to a request
from Mr.. Kirke, and 1t contained an item
lied statement for the years of 1878 OF
the sinking fund.
Aid Sanbern sought to have 1t accepted
by not reading the report in detail, but
this was voted down and the clerk pro-
ceeded to read the statement, which oc-
cupfed nearly an hour.
AS soon as he had finished Mr.. Kirke
asked City Treasurer Horst by what au-
thortty he turned over interest money into
the sinking fund. Mr.. Kirke contended
that he had not the right to create a
shortage In the general fund which was
being drained by the drawing Of interest
which had been illegally diverted to the
sinking fund
Mr.. Horst maintained the right of GUS
tom and usage, and matters were becom-
ing complicated when Comptroller McCar-
dy went to his rescue by explaining the
functions of the general and sinking funds
of the city.
Mr.. Kirke responded that his point was
we'll taken, and the charter did not give
the authority to juggle funds in the man
ner stated, that it Is not necessary to so
do.
Mr.. McCardy became warmed up at this
fnsinuation and replied that it was not
only necessary at times to draw from
the several funds in order to maintain the
bonded debt of the city to prevent over
draft. but that such action Is authorized
by the Bell charter
Mr.. Kirke insisted that he was right,
and here the matter ended for the time
being. the report being accepted.
incidentally, 1t came out that the coun-
ell will look to the general fund for mon
ey with which to purchase the market
house site. and on this point Mr.. Kirke
will make his fight against the watchdog
of the treasury.

committee deciding that If 1t was left
anywhere else the figures might be an

Meeting ofo the Board to Discuss
Railway Matters VIII BE Held
Next Week

The board of county commissioners met
yesterday afternoon with full at
tendance and after considering the mat
ter of the franchise for the proposed St.
Paul and White Bear electric road post
poned final action fer one week All the
amendments suggested to the franchise
including the fare proviso, proved, ac-
eeptable to Mr. Young. representing the
promoters, except some of the sugges-
tions offered In regard to changes In the
proposed route.
The amendments offered by the conf
missioners proposed that the tracks shall
be laid eighteen feet from the east or
southerly side of the road and the
grantees are required to construct gut
tiers on the west and northerly side Of
the tracks. The board reserves the right
to order the construction o. plank cross
ings at any time or place and the rail-
way company is to extend all bridges and
culverts necessary and to clear away the
snow from the right of way. Then, says
the amendment, 1.-The fare shall not ex-
coed fifteen cents for the passage one
way to the Village OF White Bear. ten
cents to Lake Vadnais, or five cents to
Forest cemetery"
Mr.. Young stated that all Of these prop
ositions were acceptable and reasonable.
The matter of routes however. created
more discussion. Four changes were pro-
posed In the outlined route and some were
by nc means acceptable to Mr.. Young as
he glanced ever the tracings on the map
presented by County Surveyor johnson.
The original route was: Starting at
Minneapolis avenue. at the city limits.
out the hoffman road past Lake Gervais
to the CentervfIIe read: thence to Lam

The other PROPOSITIONS were: Out White

Bald Eagle and White Bear roads and on

latter route Mr.. Young refused positively
to consider on account of the number of
grade crossings encountered. The white
Bear and Lake Phalen route he thought
would prove acceptable.

CONDUCTED THE orGRA
and held the orchestra In hand Not the
slightest break was apparent. On the
contrary. the excellent balance of the va
rtous component parts OF the orchestra
were In perfect keeping with the famil-
iarity with the score evidenced by every
member No ambitious soloist attempted
to distinguish himself by giving his in
strument undue prominence
The ensemble was not always what
might have been expected The chorus
was at times excellent. but frequently
lacked in variety of expression. This de-
feet was principally due to I'm appar-
ent preponderance of tenors over the
basses. The sonorous quality char
acteristic of the soldiers chorus was al
most entirely missing owing to the weak
ness of the BASES.
The scenery and accessories In the third
act were In consonance with the general
excellence of the performance. Otherwise
they failed to meet the requirements Of a
grand operate production.
