TRAINED DOG ESCAPES.

One of Norris & ROwe's Greyhounds
on striIe--ShOv Well Attended.
The trained animal show conducted by
Norris &, Rowe and which is on exhibit
ton at College avenue and Wabasha
street, this week, attracted another large
audience last night, the big tent being
crowded to its full seating capacity.
An exciting incident occurred directly
after the performance yesterday after
noon, which almost resulted in the loss
of two of the trained dogs, one of whom
is still missing.
After the matinee crowd had dispersed
some of the dogs were rehearsing an act
which included a bound over one of the
elephants, and among the number were
two grayhounds, known as Slick and
Time.
The two latter had been sulking all
day, and when the cali came for re-
hearsal they displayed signs of mutiny,
as much as to say that they were work
ing overtime.
At any rate, they decided to go on
strike, and when the opportunity offered
they made a bound through an opening
in the tent. and started down Wabasha
street like a couple of whitefoots
Major, the big white Newfoundland,
whose office it is to keep cases on the
other dogs, and who acts as a Fly bob
and custodian, started after the fugitiyes
and succeeded in landing Slick before he

NO CALL FOR BIDS MADE
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS ADOPTS
A WAITING POLICY
Paving of Lafayette Street and
south Wabasha Delayed He
cause Bids Have Not Been
Advertised For.

Three weeks ago final orders were
passed by the council for the paving of
Lafayette street and South Wabasha
with brick, but so far no attempt. prom
erty owners say, has been made by the
board of public works to call for bids.
The specifications, While not exactly In
line with the much talked of indemnity
resolution, are yet a departure from the
old methods, and, some of the members
OF the council say, would be acceptable
Ihey call for ten-year guarantee. re-
qulre 35-per cent surety bond. but pro-
vide for no retained money 1t is this
latter discrepancy that fails to bring the
specifications fully in sympathy with the
council resolution
sThe general excuse offered by the board
for the delay is that the council will only
turn the orders down, because of it's
antagonism to brick, and it does not care
to go to a lot of trouble that will be
barren of results
Some of the members of the council
say they are not opposed to brick They
are after cheap prices. and if they fan
to get them, will nave no conjunction in
turning the bids down. If they are reas-
enable, they say the bids win be ac-
cepted and the contracts placed.
On South Wabasha, however, there is
growing demand for asphalt, and an
order may yet be sent to the board of
public works asking it to specify that
material.

BOARD INAQUANDARY
1T is PROPOSED TO MAKE ST.
LUKE'S HOSPITAL NON-SEC-
TARTAN
IS NOT FINANCIALLY STRONG
Managers Favor Male Nurses and
the Church Wants Female At
tendants, While Physicians
Are Uncertain.

Among the physicians of st. Paul there
is a growing sentiment that the efficiency
of St Luke's hospital would be greatly
increased If the church would relinquish
control over it and allow it to be made
a roB-sectarian institution. The hospital
committee of the Episcopal Home Mis-
sionary society-which has charge of St.
Luke's-is opposed to allowing such ac-
ton to be taken.
The physicians say that the hospital
offers poor facilities for clinical work;
that it is too small: and there is little
! hope of its being enlarged as long as it
continues under its present management.
They also have another grievance, in
that, as they allege they are not always
able to convince the board of managers
that they know best how to conduct an
institution of this kind Still another
bone Of contention is the employment of
female nurses. The doctors say there
are times when male nurses would be
preferable, but the board refuses to listen
to any suggestion of such change be-
ing made.
If the physicians should combine in
an attempt to build a new hospital and
should be able to carry such a project to
& successful contamination, it's effect
would be to do ST. Luke's irreparable
to do The easiest way out of the difficult
ty, they declare, is to make st. Lukes
non-sectarian. Archdeacon c. E. Haupt
at a recent meeting of the hospital com
mittee, suggested the appointment of
chaplain w. ]. Sloppy boldly declared
in favor OF change of management, a
resident physician and male nurses.
Nothing has been permanently decided
Mrs. j. b. HoXsie, president of the
board Of managers, announces herself n
favor of the hospital being made a gen
eral hospital, supervised by a general
physician, and two or three other mem
bers Of the board also declare themselves
in favor of the general hospital plan
1t is probable that the physicians in
terested i'll the matter viii very soon
make a definite proposal to those in
charge Of the hospital, and the matter
Will lie arranged, once and for all

OHAGE'S NEW PLAN |
WAY SOUTH OF HARRIET
ISLAND
FORM SHELTER FOR LAUNCHES
The Improvements, for Which Gov
ernment Permission Has Been
Secured, VIII Cost
About $4,000.

Dr. Ohage has asked for and has OBJ
tanned from the officials in charge of ire
upper Mississippi river permission to ina
prove the waterway south of HaIrier
and to the extent of making it nayiga-
BILE for launches and small steamers.
While directed principally at warding
off what must be the inevitable result,
the drying up of the slough south of
the island, DR.. Ohage hopes to make the
island rendezvous, and it's waters d
harbor for launches and small steamers
that are now compelled to scatter along
Raspberry island and the West side be-
low Robert street. in search of q landing
place.
In order to make the slough between
the island and the mainland on the
West side navigable, and at the same
time provide an uninterrupted sheet of
water around the entire island, consfdera-
bic dredging would be necessary, but DR..
Ohage thinks the heavy expense attend
ant would be considerably offset by the
additional land that would be secured
The material taken from the slough and
the several wing dams that are located at
the head of the island would be used in
raising the level of the island and pre-
vent the regular spring and fail overflow
ing Of land that is particularly useful
for Fairgrounds.
In improving the river the government
udS PidHIou many dams at the mead OF
the island and the waters south of it
the idea being to throw the water. into
the main channel This has had a
tendency to reduce the volume of water
lowing along the south side of the ISL
and and form a huge bar that will in
time join the island to the mainland.
This calamity DR.. Ohage would avert.
St Pauls list of launches and small
pleasure steamers is yearly being added
TO and at rate that must in time de-
mand attention from the city in the
shape of harbor for their accommoda-
ton. Behind Harriet island they would
be protected from drift ice and furnished
with harbor that would give them di-
rect access to the main river.
Access to supplies would also be easy
While water and other necessities now
brought from the mainland in skiffs could
De obtained without trouble. The Job
means an expenditure Of fully $25, 900. but
the results, many claim, would more than
Justify the expenditure.

OF Minneapolis yesterday. Fred T. Nc
Ghee, the well known colOred attorney
o. st. Paul, spat in the fact Off NJ.

then called him a coward because he r.
fused to fight.
The attorneys were arguing over an as

cussion had become quite heated Dunn
was very angry at some point raised bv
MeGhee' and injected into his remarks
something about doing business with
"a d--n niger"
What's that?" asked AIcGhee. ''Repeat
that expression and stepping forward
and peering in his opponents face. he
spat twice, the eXcrement striking Dunn
squarely in the face.
This act startled Dunn, and for the
next few minutes he was vigorously en-
gagged in using a handkerchief, but he
made no response except to say that he
don't want any trouble.
Dunns refusal to resent the insult
seemed to add to McGhee's courage. and
he proceeded to tell Dunn what ne
thought Of him.
You're a contemplate coward, You
are, spluttered McGhee 81 claim 20

in my face, he'd quit walking.

SHOULD HAVE WAITED
CITY DEPARTMENTS COULD HAVE
BOUGHT COAL CHEAPER.

With the exception of the park board
the fire department and the board of
water commissioners, contracts have been
placed by all the other city departments
for their winter supply of coal, but there
are a number OF them that have since
wished they had waited.
Despite the fact that a trust exists
and that the barons are said to be mex
orable in their stand against slashing set
rates, it is claimed that the board of ed
ucation of Minneapolis by turning down
the bids offered and going out into the
open market and inviting propositions
privately, secured figures that netted a
saving of over $500.
Several firms, 1t is said, have been
found willing to go a few cents under the
stipulated price and gladly embrace
chance to sell when the fact is not made
public. The st. Paul school board,
week ago, let contracts for coal that will
cost it nearly $4,000 before the winter is
through. The claim is now made that had
it waited neat sum would have been
saved.
The park board has turned down bids
submitted it, and is now privately invit-
ing bids, and it is said the same course
will be adopted by the fire department
in case the bids opened today are not
satisfactory.

she saw the ghost of her sister-in-Iaw,

had wings. She insisted that she could
hear the wings flap against the window
The husband could see nothing, but the
wife was fixed in her belief that she had
seen her sister-in-laws ghost, and the
nervous shock was so great that she died
at her home, 126 Cayuga street, Sunday
morning.
She was buried in Calvary cemetery
Tuesday morning, the services taking
place from ST. Louis church, Exchange
