CITY ENGINEER TO PUBLISH BOOK
ON USES AND ABUSES OF STREETS
Policemen and Civic Officials to BE
Furnished W -th Useful Com
pendulum on Street
Ordinances.

Uses and Abuses of the Streets and
Thoroughfares of the City of st. Paul.
VIII be the title of a booklet which
policemen and others whose duties are
the enforcement of the laws win shortly
be expected to carry and to study.
Briefly, the little volumne, the scheme
for which has emanated from the busy
brain of City Engineer Claussen, will be
IA compendium of ready knowledge fur
nished while you wait, and the admOni-
ton to its possessor Ito consult this
when in doubt" is intended to assist
materially in a vigorous thumbing Of it's
knowledge-laden pages.
For several months Mr.. Claussen, dur
ing brief idle moments, has had the book
in preparation, and he expects shortly to
appeal to he council for it's legal COM
pilation and publication, and the passage
Of an ordinance authorizing it as a part
of the equipment of every police officer
and street official in St. Paul.
The proposed book Will contain the text
and substance of every law now on the
statute books relating to the streets and
highways of st. Paul, while included also
will be the license rates and form of per-
mits that must be shown when the
streets are to be torn up or Instructions
placed thereon. The procedure in each
case incumbent upon the police officer or
officials to stop infractions of the laws
contained in the little volume will also
be given.
The compilation of this book, and. the
codihcation of laws as they relate to my
department, l have had in mind for some
MONTHS said City Engineer CIaussen in
speaking of the scheme yesterday.
when it is published l intend that a
copy shall be placed in the hands of
every policeman and member of nv de-
partment, and I shall expect that the
custodian of such copies will see that the
laws therein are obeyed. To myself the
book that I propose will be of great bene-
fit, furnishing at a glance information
that it often takes hours to get owing
to the present scattered condition of the
city ordinances.

QUINCY HAS TROUBLE
STEAMER FINDS DIFFICULTY IN
LANDING AT HER WHARF.

The steamer Quincy, which steamed
into St Paul yesterday afternoon. had
rather difficult time in reaching her
wharf, and it was only after some rather
heated language Letween her captain ana
the crews Of several Of the boats tied
to the landing that she obtained en-
trance
The Bethel boat, with her bow ND
against the levee wall at the foot of
sibley street, and her stern directly out
In the river, was induced to move. but
the other boats which lined the wharf
were not so accommodating, and some
time ensued before they would swing out
IN the stream sufficient to allow the long
craft to reach her wharf
The landing was finally made. but It
was hard one, the Quincy's stern sew
eral times graz ng the Bethel. In addition
to this, the piling forming a portion
Of the depot improvements interfered and
compelled the Quincy to extend her stage
to the open landing instead of her reg
ular wharf.

REBUKED BY BUM
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE NO
POWER TO COMPROMISE
TAXES
BOARDS POWER IS LIMITED
City Railway Company's Assessment
of $2,I0O,oOO VIII Probably
BE Sustained in Dis
trict Court.

Judge Bum filed an important de-
cision yesterday, by which it is decided
that the board of county commissioners
had not the power under the law, to COM
promise the personal tax assessment of
the st. Paul City Railway company for
the year 1900, and the court lays down
the law in the premises in language not
to be mistaken.
The valuation originally placed upon
the property of the company was $780,
600. The assessment was contested by
the company, after which suit was
brought by County Treasurer Metzdorf
to enforce payment Of the money.
In the meantime, the board of county
commissioners passed a resolution re-
ducing the valuation to $1,600O00, on
which the tax would be SIS, S4o making a
net reduction of about $4,000 in the
tax.
The present contention came up on the
plaintiffs demurrer to the supplemental
answer of the railway company, which
is sustained by the court, with a stay
of twenty days.
In memorandum, Judge Bum holds
that the county board had no power
to compromise proceedings to recover de-
linquent taxes.
The argument that the board has pow
er to commence suit, in behalf of the
county, and therefore necessarily, pow
er to terminate it by compromise or
otherwise, the court holds, has no appli-
cation to a proceeding in court to col
lect taxes. The machinery to collect
taxes is provided by statute, and no du-
ties are conferred on the board, nor is
it given any power or discretion in the
matter.
The county is not the only party in
interest, both the state of Minnesota
and the city Of st. Paul having direct
interest in the litigation.
The powers of the board are clearly
no greater than those of the county, and
they are quite limited, in respect to the
levy, assessment and collection of taxes.
In conclusion the court says: Il can
say without hesitation that the power
is not possessed by the board, which was
acting without the approval or consent
of the state auditor

concerning Trained Nurses.

Miss Marguerite Merington, the play
| wright, is credited with the following
| concerning the trained nurse:
when will the trained nurse learn
the professional reticence and discreet
abstinence from the use of names in
general conversation that are law and
gospel to lawyer, priest and doctor and
that should he equally binding on even
the handmade of the faculty? There
are admittedly numbers of the sister
| hood whose own good taste and good
sense operate as barrier TO the indis-
eliminate retailing of gossip and pri-
vate matters cleaned while on duty by
the bedside of the sick. but unfortu-
nately these would appear to be the
exceptions where they should be the
rule.
1.-The nurse owes it to her dignity
no less than to the tdignity of her call
ing to observe the tbinding traditions
of silence that locktthe mouth of the
physician where the.private affairs of
a patient are concerned. Her office is
one of peculiar intimacy. Few personal
secrets can escape her, no personal pc
culiarities pass by her watchful scruti-
ny. Accordingly it, should be a point
tage Of her trust.
Gossip, family gossip, is generally
supposed to be disseminated from the
quarters below stairs, but often fine
loyalty of silence may be found in the
relation of the kitchen to the drawing
room. How much more should this
loyalty OF silence be matter OF course
with the nurse who is introduced into
a household on terms of the closest
familiarity and at time when bodily
torture takes the poor human creature
wholly off his guardl The part of her
office is to listen to the condolences
that are thrust upon her in an hour of
pain in order to soothe the pain-and
then to forget the condolences! When
she relates her experiences and tells
stories of her cases, the names in no
instances should be given. The per-
sonal Identification should be impos-
sible."
In this connection it may be of inter-
est to note that in the training school
connected with the Brooklyn hospital
the students before receiving their
diplomas as graduates of the institu-
ton are required to take the hippo
cratic oath, which is similar to that
subscribed to by physicians and calls
for silence with regard to private or
family affairs with which the nurse
may have become familiar during at
tendance on a patient.-Boston Jour-
nal.

Mrs. stanton,s Pet Aversion.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton not only
cries out against n pocketlesS woman
who goes through the streets carrying
her pocketbook in her hand, but she
has another pet aversion-the up to
date modish skirt. She has threaten
ed to instruct the elevator boys not to
allow any woman up to her apartment
wearing along skirt.
The stand she takes on the trained
skirt question is that of its being Il
menace to health. She asserts that the
long skirt gathers up all the microbes
in the street and is in consequence not
only dirt breeder, but a disease breed
err as well. She says:
"Those long skirts so trailing
through all the dust and filth of the
streets. The woman sweeps along and
gathers up enough dust and microbes
to kill herself and her family. What
right has 4 woman to come into my
home dragging from one-half to a yard
of microbe infected cloth behind her?
1 say it is not only an insult, but an
injustice to me. And this vile fashion
would be bad enough if it were confin-
ed to women of wealth and extrava-
gance, but it is made worse by being
taken UP by the women who have to
work for their living.
MY manicure came to me the other
day, and, 10, she had a skirt trailing
the ground all around. After she had
finished 1 said to her: Do not ever
come to me again in a trained skirt.
If you cannot come to me in a skirt
decently short, l do not need your
services
THE very next day my dressmaker
comes in, and sure enough, there was
her skirt trailing on the ground. After
she had tried my gown on l told her:
Never let me see you in a trained
skirt again. If you cannot wear a
short one, then L will find a dress
maker who Will"
