GETTING A HUSTLE ON
CITY DEPARTMENTS DETERMINED
TO HAVE NO BALANCES
Any Funds Left Are Subject to the
I'McCardy Clutch" and Re-
vert to the General
Fund.

The charter provides that unexpended
balances in any fund remaining at the
close of the fiscal year shall revert to
the general fund, but if any such in
stance is recorded this year it will not
be the fault Of those in charge.
Few, If any, of the departments are
credited with more money than will car
ry them through but those that have a
few dollars are making frantic efforts 10
place them before the close of the pres
ent month rolls around.
Fearful of the ''McCardy clutch" which
is particularly partial to the genera;
fund, the park board has practically pro-
pided for the distribution Of any balance
that it may have left, while others, in
Guiding the engineering and health de-
partments, have anticipated to the OK
, tent that their funds will at the close of
the year be as empty as q last year 5
birds nest.
The park board has arranged for i'm
provements and purchases, provlued,
however that there is money enough,
While in the engineering department
street sweepers and employees have been
employed to the extent that their wages
will absorb every cent left if not create 4

which few realize and it has no friendS,

TO IMPROVE COMO
FINE S. NEW PAVILION COSTING
$4,000 LIKELY TO BE
BUILT -
PRESENT ONE Is UNSAFE
Believed That Private Parties
Would Advance Money for u
Franchise Granting COnces-
siOns for Term of Years.

There is a possibility that Como park
may be provided with new pavilion ere
another season has passed. The park
board last night arranged for the tenn
porary repair of the present building at
a cost of about 81 ,S00 but this may be
later supplanted by a structure that Will
not have an equal in the Northwest.
At the next meeting Of the board Supt.
Nussbaumer will submit plans for new
building that will embrace many new
features. and provide a shelter Tor
thousands, where the present structure
only furnishes a covering for hundreds.
The plans have been under way for some
months, and provide. for; a three-story
building, each floor of which will take
care Of features now painfully absent.
According. to- the plans the first story.
or rather, the basement, will in winter
furnish warmth and shelter for those
that patronze the ice sports, the second
story will be for refreshments, and the
third an amusement hall similar to the
auditorium now at Lake Harriet, 1t Will
extend to the nresent band stand located
in the lake and will include a stage of
ample proportions. The structure will be
of steel, and will cost III the neighbor-
hood of $4,000
The expenditure of this amount of
money is something that the board does
not care to attempt, for while at least,
but it hopes to make arrangements with
the Twin City Rapid Transit company. or
make the present catering privileges so
valuable that a corporation Will be will
ing to putup handsomely for a franchise
granting them the concession for term
of years. The board is confident that the
structure will be ultimately. built and
with slight encroachment on their annual
appropriation.
"a The present structure. inadequate in
every respect. is really dangerous,
statement corroborated by Supt. Nuss-
banner who says he was in mortal dread
last year for fear it would let down under
the weight of .the crowds that filled it..
He says the tifnbers that enter into the
construction of the veranda have rotted
and will have Ia be replaced. The build
ing also leaks badly. Mr.. Nussbaumer
was instructed to spend the necessary
amount, of money in making, 1t perfectly

BY AN ARTESIAN WELL
l.. p. ORDWAY,S PLAN TO MAIN
TAIN LEVEL OF WHITE BEAR
County Commissions Road Fund Is
Depleted and Is OverdraNn
$4,000 ~ Abstract
Clerks Office.

L. P. OrdWay came before the board
of county commissioners yesterday and
made a proposition in regard to sinking
an artesian we'll at White Bear lake. Fer
this purpose he wanted the county to ap-
proprate st5G0 or 81, 800, and said the
street railway company would do all the
experimental pumping at it's own expense.
A we'll to the same water supply, which
is tapped at Centerviile by the city is
what Mr.. Ordway thinks is the best plan.
1t is estimated that ten-nch well at
the cost estimated will pump perhaps
LEGO gallons a minute, which would. of
course, go some distance in keeping I'D
the level of the lake. The matter was
referred to the committee on roads and
bridges.
County Treasurer Metzdorf reported
that the road and bridge fund was now
overdrawn $1,000, and the commissioners
decided to move slowly OH road work in
the future. The overdrafts are draw
ing 6 per cent interest, and the county
attorney was asked whether the law of
1901 would permit Of iessening the expense
by borrowing money on per cent certif-
icates, and the assistant county attorney
stated that the law did not apply to the
situation in Ramsey county at present.
The Observation-Disclosures Land COM
pany stated through a communication
that the bridge at Phalen park was in a
dangerous condition, and the matter was
referred to the proper committee.
Abstract Clerk Schuetz reported that it
would be necessary to procure list Of
judgments dociseted in the United States
district and circuit courts from jan
to Oct. q in order to complete his roc
ords. The cost of collecting the same
should be collected from J. Fl. Schuets
from Jan. 20 July Is, and from r.. r.
Conroy from July 16 to Oct. q. as their
clerks failed to keep UP the records.

MAY INCREASE STOCK
UNION STOCKYARDS CONTEMPLATE
ING AN ISSUE OF 100000.

The directors of the Union Stock Yards
company Will, at meeting that has been
called for Thursday, discuss the adVisa-
btjfty OF increasing the limit of indebted
less of the company from the present
point, 100000, to 81, 500 COO, in order to
provide for future contingencies in the
matter of enlargement of plant and ex-
pansion of business. etc. Gen. Flower,
president of the company. said to T e
G o b e last night that the first figure
had been nearly all used up by the com
pany, and that the matter would be
brought UP simply as a provisional meas
ure for the company's protection.
Of course, you know said Gen.
Flower, that it takes some time to get
a thing OF this kind through We will
have to secure the stockholders consent
and then amend our bylaws, and 1t all
takes time. We simply want to be in
position to expand when the time is ripe
for it, OF tho $4,000 expended this year
OF the company's earnings, $4,000 will
be repaid If the amendment goes through.
It Is only fair that the improvements
made by the company be paid by bond,
the same as railway companies defray
the expenses of their construction. There
are no immediate improvements in view,
however.
Yes in answer to a question on the
subject, 'it might be used in connection
with the Cudahy negotiations which have
not fallen through and which are still
pending, the same as those with other
firms"

The many overhanging signs put up
in st. Paul in the past two weeks,
despite the fact that the new building
code absolutely prohibits them, furnished
considerable food fer discussion at the
meeting of the committee on streets OF
the assembly yesterday afternoon.
ASsembiyman Nelson remarked that
parties had come to him to see If he had

cognizant of the fact that such signs
were being erected but as long as no
protest was entered made no objections.
From the conversation 1t was ELECTED
that in a majority of the cases permits
had been asked for. but were refused.
The owners then went ahead and took
chances of having them removed in case
an action was brought.
Most of the signs going up are of the
illuminated kind, thoroughly ornamental
and shedding light that is very accept
able, and this fact. 1t is said, is RESPONSE
bic for the non-enforcement Of the build

a dozen of these signs have been erected
the past month. Some of them are quite
costly. and forced removal now would be
a hardship to those owning them
Prior to the drafting of the new law
bond was required for each overhang-
ing sign, but under the prohibition that
now exists these cannot be demanded
The bond was for the purpose of saving

CRITICISES A HYMN
REV. DIR. WRIGHT PRACTICALLY
AGREES WITH PROF. TRIGGS,
OF CHICAGO
QUOTES MISLEADING sTANzA
Objects to Limiting Term "Saintsu
to Those Who Are Dead
DOetrine of Apostolic
Succession,

Most OF the hymns now in use in the
various churches are little better than
doggerel,' recently remarked Prof,
Triggs, of the Chicago university.
prof. Triggs is right said Rev. John
Wright, in substance, rector of st. Pauls
Episcopal church, from his pulpit Sum
day.
Dr. Wright was not generalizing. A
particular hymn had aroused the rector's
Ire and drawn forth his condemnation.
The hymn is known in the hymnal az
No. ITO, and was sung by the vested
choir Sunday for a professional. The
first stanza is:
''The Saints of God! Their conflict past,
And life's long battle won at last!
NO more they need the shield or sword.
They cast them down before the Lord.
. happy SaintSi forever best
AT Jesus feet how safe you restn
This hymn, DR.. Wright declared, was
misleading, for it did not agree with the
original and intended application of the
word saint" as used i'll the New Tesla
ment In the hymn, the word saints
indicated future condition. DR., Wright
averred that there might be saints milf
tant as well as saints triumphant-in oth-
err words, that one did not have to wait
until one reached heaven to be a saint.
A week ago Sunday DR.. Wright referred
to the gross ignorance of teachers in re-
gard to the doctrine of apostolic success
sion. as understood by the Episcopal
church. He criticised the teachers for
not teaching this doctrine correctly.

BATHED IN FLAMES
DETERMINED ATTEMPT
AT SUICIDE
MAY DIE OF HER INJURIES
She Locked Herself in Bathroom
and Set Fire to Papers Satu-
rated With Kerosene
Taken to Hospital.

Mrs. William Mayer. who resides at
Tenth and Rice streets, made a deSper-
ate attempt yesterday to commit suicide.
She went to the bathroom and, filling the
bath tub with newspapers, saturated
them with kerosene OIL and then leaning
over the papers set them on fire. The
flames Ieaped up around her head and
shoulders, burning her in a frfghtful
manner. The entire upper portion of her
body was burned nearly to a crisp, the
flesh in many places falling off.
Mrs. Mayer was alone in the house
when she made the attempt, and the
door was locked to keep out anyone who
might Interfere with her plans for self
destruction. Her little son hearing the
roar Of the flames ran to the bath room
to help his mother, but found the door
locked.
AT first she refused to open the door.
hut d moment later she came out and
started down the steps. In the meantime
the boy had run down to his fathers
saloon. which is in the lower story, and
told him of the fire.
Several men who were in the saloon
ran up stairs to rescue the suffering
woman. Reaching the top of the stairs
they met Mrs. Mayer. who was in a mass
of flames. One of the men seized her
in his arms and wrapping a blanket about
her, succeeded in eXtinguishing the fire.
This was not done, however. until she
was burned in such a way as to render
her recovery doubtful.
Taken to the Hospital.
She was taken TO the city hospital in
the patrol wagon from the central sta
ton and her wounds were carefully
dressed. She was conscious when she
reached the hospital and acknowledged
that she attempted to commit suicide,
giving as her reason that she was a
burden on the family and that there was
no need of her living.
This is the second attempt that she
has made upon her life in the last three
days. Why she should so persistently
attempt to take her own life is beyond
the comprehension Of her friends. Her
daughter recently underwent an opera
ton for tonsilitis and though the opera
ton was not serious Mrs. Mayer wor-
ried considerably about It. Her husband
has also suffered some reverses in bust
ness in the last few weeks. These things
have so affected her that she desired to
take her own life.
There are three children in the family,
a girl of seventeen years and two boys
of thirteen and ten years. The physi-
clans at the hospital say that though
her injuries are serious, she may possibly
recover
