ONE MILLION BATHS
HARRIET ISLAND INSTITUTION
WELL PATRONIZED THIS
SEASON -
OPEN ONLY THREE MONTHS
Receipts Not Up to Expectations
Drop Is Credited to Increase
in Number of Free
Patrons.

According to figures now being COM
piled by the health department, 225,69O
persons paid for the privilege of taking
a dip at the public baths. AS this is only
about Is per cent of the number that have
patrOniZed the institution since 1t opened
last June, 10000 bathers is considered a
fair estimate. Many think 15G0, 900 pa
irons would not be too high an estimate.
While the number of people that pat
ronize the baths is growing yearly, the
receipts, it is said, are not in proportions
ate sympathy, the free feature, which per-
mits those owning bathing suits to use
the pools free of charge, having grown
to an extent that has curtailed the re-
ceipts considerably.
Last year it was figured that only 20
per cent of those who patronized the
institution paid for the privilege. This
year the number who paid is figured only
at Is per cent. DESPITE this fact, how
ever, the institution has fully paid for
iSelf, even if the balance is small.
Practically, the pools were only open
to the public three months, June 2 be-
ing the opening date. July in point of
patronage was the largest month, 109005
registering during that month June
was credited with 6S712; August, AZ, 67S,
and September, 1879. The institution was
only open one week during the last
named month. The biggest day was July
49, when 1919 bathers were accommo-
dated, and the smallest Sept. 8, when
only II braved the cold and entered the,
water. The receipts from refreshment
stands and patrons amounted to $4,S64.
The small boy has been a prominent
object at the baths this season, and mis-
presence, together with the element that
cannot afford to part with nickel for
daily wash. has increased to a large
extent this year. They are the free pa
irons, and with DR.. Ohage are just as
welcome as those more bountifully sup
piled with this worlds goods
Even if the baths, with their naturally
increasing expense because of added i'm
provements, fail to be elf-sustaining, the
good that will result says DR.. Ohage,
will more than compensate for the few
dollars that the city will have to spend.
Next year more pools will be added
and the pavilion extended, and while
there may be a material increase in the
number of bathers. the expense will not
decrease In fact it will not be far from
third more.

PLANS OF CHORAL CLUB
OPENING MEETING HELD LAST
NIGHT IS LARGELY ATTENDED
President Helm Tenders His ResiG-
natiOn-''Messiah' to BE Pro-
duced With Notable East
ern Singers and SOIOists.

The st. Paul Choral club held it's OPEN
ing meeting of the season last evening in
the Y. NJ. C. A. About 100 members and
prospective members were in attendance.
Frederick Helm presided. The action of
the executive committee in selecting
Handels Messiah and the soloists,
Mrs. Genevieve Clark Wilson and Glen
Hall, of Chicago, and Joseph Baernstein,
of New York, for the first concert, and
Haydn's Creation" for the third con-
cert, Were ratified. Fifty active mem
berS have already renewed their subscrip-
ton for the coming year, and it is hoped
to increase this number to $50. The mem
bers will meet every Tuesday night for
rehearsal. The first will take place in
the Y. M. c. A. Sept. a. For the place
of meeting thereafter a new hall will Be
selected.
Frederick Helm, president of the club,
in his opening address last evening, stat
ed that while much enthusiasm was
aroused for the first concert given last
year by the club, the second concert re-
ceived rather lukeWarm support, and,
consequently, there was a deficit to be
faced. He urged the members to main
tain their interest this year and to work
with enthusiasm for the support of the
club. The Philharmonic club, of Mime
apolis, had notified the St. Paul Choral
club that ii would be glad to cooperate
with it in the matter of engaging
out of town artists, SO that each club
will be under less expense. The Phil
harmonic club will give the Messiah
about the same time that the St. Paul
club gives it, SO that the same out-of-
town soloists may be employed Prof.
George H. Normington will be the clubs
director this year as he was last. No
change has been made in the annual dues
for active membership, which are So, and
in the annual dues for associate mem
bership, which will be S..
President Helm rendered his resignation
as presiding officer of the club last even
ing. He stated that business would pre-
vent him from filling the office any long
er, though he would still maintain an ac-
tive interest in the club. His successor
will be selected at the next meeting of the
club

MUST EMPLOY WIRES
RAILWAY CLUE
DISCUSSES FUTURE OF WIRE
LESS TELEGRAPHY
USEFUL AS AN AUXILIARY
Opinion Is Expressed That the Wire
less System Will Never Su-
persede That in Use
at Present.

Papers of unusual interest were read
at the regular meeting of the Northwest
ern Railway club at the Ryan last night
The discussion on pooling locomotives
was resumed, having been opened at the
May meeting. The various methods that
could be used were argued pro and con,
but nothing radical in this line was pro-
posed.
The paper on biography by D. McNic-
oil of the 500 line was an able one and
provoked considerable discussion. The
paper covered the present method of tel
egraphing in connection with CONNER
cial as well as railway business, and also
threw considerable light upon the wire
less proposition.
During the discussion that followed the
paper some interesting information in re-
gard to wireless telegraphy was volun-
teered. One of the members held that
the term wireless was a m1snomer, as a
certain amount in fact a large amount,
of wire was used in the system, the only
difference being that it was not used as
a conductor.
The same speaker gave an interesting
account of some wireless telephony ex-
periments that were carried out with
moderate success across the Mississippi
river at, AAlnneapolis last winter. The
instruments were set up about a, thou
sand feet apart across the river. Par
allel wires were run on either side to
the length of $50 feet, and the expert
mentors were able to hear each other
distinctly without the aid Wire acting as
a conductor.
An estimate of the power used was
made at that time, and it was found
that about thousandth part of the
original voltage was transmitted to the
opposite side. This of course necessi-
tated the use of a much larger voltage
than is ordinarily used in wire tele-
phones.
The writer of the paper was of the
opinion that the wireless system of tele-
graphing would never be anything more
than an auxiliary to the present wire
system and would be used principally be-
tween lighthouses and between light
houses and ships stranded, and when
the occasion arose ships in normal con-
ditions.
S. M. Woodruff, division master me-
ehanic of the 500 at Gladstone, Mich.
read an interesting paper upon The
Round-House Force; Its Organization
and How to Increase It's Efficiency" The
paper was a good one and proposed
number of improvements among that in
teresting class of railroad workers.
The meeting concluded with an 1nfor-
NAL discussion as to car lighting and the
effect that the advent of acetylene gas
had exercised upon it. There was con-
siderable discussion on the merits of the
new system, and a vivid picture of the
exhibit at Buffalo in this line was given.
The club seemed of the opinion that
there was yet room for much improve
ment before the system became pro-
nounced success.
F. A. Foque, president of the club, pre-
sided, and about seventy-five were pres
ent. The next meeting will be held at
the West in Minneapolis.

STATE BIMONTHLY REPORT SHOWS
DECREASE.

The state board Of health yesterday
issued one Of its bi-monthly reports on
the smallpox conditions in this state
which, as usual at this season of the
year, shows a decrease in the number OF
cases of that disease For several
months past and in fact since early
spring each successive report has shown
fewer cases than the one preceding it
and during the period embraced in this
report there have been only fifty report
ed.
The largest number Of cases in any
one locality was seven at st. Matthias
township in Crow Wing county. On the
Leech lake Indian reservation in Cass
county there were five cases and in
Equality township, Red Lake county, six
cases. From Gray Eagle, Todd county,
Where there was recently an epidemic of
some proportions, there have been but
four cases reported during the past two
weeks. Minneapolis had five cases, Du-
luth, three, and ST. Paul two.
There have also been reported nine old
cases from St. Cloud township which
were not included in any previous report.

AT an rate it will be a bank, though
Whether 1t will be state or national
affair depends largely upon the support
and capital that can be secured. Having
in mind one West side institution that
succumbed under the pressure of adj

locality have been wary in their prornis-
es, but during the past week sufficient
assurances have been given that will in
all probability warrant the establishment

The committee has been in conference
with number of the local banks and
while anneXes of the local institutions
We're proffered, the desire for an ind1-
Vldual institution prevailed and already
a number of local investors were inter-

finished its work, but at a meeting or

on the West side, it will report progress.
At the regular meeting of the asso-
citation to be held this evening a num-
HOA VI l4lelIlSIS pertinent TO the Wel1ar6
of the Sixth ward will come up, promI-
nent among them the extension of tho
street railway to South ST. Paul and the
acquiring of territory now credited to
Dakota county. Each of these matters
has been in the hands of committees
and interesting reports are expected.
Good roads will be one of the subjects
up for discussion. The association is
very DESTROYS of embracing South st.

outlying towns she must improve her
roads. They are a Disgrace"
The West side is now credited with
fCrty-six factories and manufactures and
an effort will be made to advertise their
wares and incidentally the West side
by interesting the owners in a local fair
