THE CUCKoo's EGG.

The ordinary type of cuckoos egg.
which is very small for the size of the
bird, but heavier than any other egg of
equal dimensions, is pale grayish green,
or pale warm brown, streaked and
clouded with markings of different
shades. But the eggs vary very much,
and are sometimes hardly to be distin-
guished from those among which they
have been dropped. Some are even
blue. In collection at Hildesheim
there are twelve blue cuckoos' eggs,
some slightly spotted, and some as free
from markings as the eggs of the hedge
sparrow. This variation in color is one
of the strange points. 1t is in the high
est degree unlikely that the bird can
vary at will the tint of her eggs, so
as to make them harmonic with those
in any particular nest. Nor is it prob
able that the cuckoo, having laid her
egg, proceeds to look for a nest con-
tanning eggs which match her own in
color and marking. There is, however
some evidence that cuckoo will con-
tinue. year after year, to choose the
same kind of bird as foster parent.
There Is cottage in the West Coun-
try, for example, where a pair of wag-
tails built a nest in the ivy for twelve
years in succession; and every year,
during that period, a young cuckoo was
reared in the nest.-London Daily News.

KEPT OUT OF SCHOOL
ANTI VACCINATION ADVOCATES
SAY COMPULSORY PROVIS-
ION WORKS HARM
MANY CHILDREN STAY HOME
Statement Made That Two Thousand
Children Are at Home Pend
ing Some Agreement
With City.

AT the meeting of the st. Paul Anti
Vaccination society held in Central hall
last evening, a statement was advanced
by one of the members to the effect that
nearly 1900 children are being kept from
both city and parochial schools, by their
parents because of the rule that demands
OF each a certificate of vaccination.
One-half of these are remaining away,
pending the decision of the supreme court
on the case of Walter Freeman, who de-
mands of the school authorities the &C
ceptance of his children as pupils with
out undergoing the customary incubation
with vaccine virus, while the other half,
strong in the conviction that vaccination
is harmful, will refuse to send their
children back to school in any event.
The meeting was small in numbers, but
1t was prolific in discussion and methods
OF disseminating knowledge, the members
oelhg unit on the proposition that
mothers and parents all over the land
must be made aware of what the cult
terms the horrors of vaccination.
The society is encouraging the Free
man appeal to the supreme court to the
extent of subscribing money for the hir-
ing of lawyers and getting out briefs, and
hopes to realize substantially by their eff
forts. The school teachers will also be
furnished with characterization literature
in the hope of securing their support.
+ AT Minneapolis society has been start
ed and it is said have been so energetic
that the rule of compulsory vaccination
has been greatly modified. 1t is claimed
that 10000 Mill City children are out of
school because of the rule. The claim was
also made that in st. Paul the require
ments this year are not as strict as last,
number of children having been adj
mitted without the required certificate.

WAS TIRED OF LIVING
WILLIAM III. BUTTERFIELD TAKES
AN IRRITANT POISON
Deceased Was a Cripple, Formerly
a Railroad Man, and Trouble
Drove Him to Sui
eide.

AS result of brooding over a compli-
cation of troubles, William H Butter
field, an aged cripple living at Woodward
avenue and Bradley streets, took poison
some time during Thursday night and
died from the effects about 10 o'clock yes
terday morning.
The old man had been living with Ed
Madden, cook in a Payne avenue res
taurant, for the past few months and
when Madden left him Thursday evening
to go to work, Butterfield was apparently
in good health. Len Robinson, railroad
man from Montana, who is in st. Paul
for few days, slept with him Thursday
night
Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday morn
ing Butterfield was up walking about the
room and about 5 o'clock yesterday morn
ing Robinson was awakened blythe old
mans groans. He asked Butterfield what
was the matter, but received no reply.
When Robinson arose at o'clock yester-
day morning he found Butterfield I'M
conscious and Assistant City Physician
Cook was called He found the old man
beyond medical aid and in such con-
dition that he could not be moved to the
city hospital. Madden and Robinson were
by Butterfield's bedside when he died
shortly after 10 o'clock.
Butterfield was born in St Paul forty-
seven years ago, and was one of the
pioneer railroad men in the Northwest.
I In 1888 he accidentally fell between cars
and had his leg cut off. An arm was also
so badly injured that it only hung by
few shreds of skin, and when his COM
rades refused to amputate it for him, he
pluckily took a small penknife and sew
cred the cords.
Ever since then he has been restless
fellow and has refused to live in one
place. He was at the poor farm for
time, but would run away and live with
railroad men. His wife left him years
ago and remarked in West Superior,
where she now resides. He has two sons
living, Edward Butterfeld, an engineer
on the Omaha road, who lives at West
Superior, and George Butterfeld, living
at Minneapolis. The body will be taken
to Black River Falls, Wis, for burial.
An autopsy was conducted on the re-
mains late yesterday afternoon by DR..
Whftcomb and Dr. Finnell and showed
that the stomach contained an irritant
poison. There was also a smell of wood
alcohol noticeable. Coroner A. W. Mil
Ter will investigate the matter further
today.

FIGHT THE ORDINANCE
SMOKE ORDINANCE ENCOUNTERS
RESISTANCE FROM b. COLEMAN.

In order that he might interpose a de-
murrer to the complaint, as he doubted
the validity of the ordinance, Attorney
E. S. Durnent in the police court yes
terday secured a continuance in the
case of B. Coleman, of the Crescent
Creamery company, who is charged with
a violation of the smoke ordinance.
Yesterday a warrant was issued at
the instance of DR.. Ohage for the arrest
of the fireman at the Merchants hotel
and he will be given a hearing in the
police court today.
Pictures of smoking chimneys are in
creasing in number at the office of the
health department, views being added
daily. A duplicate of each is generally
being sent to the parties concerned with
the advice to stop it. 1t is when this
friendly warning fails that the warrant
for an arrest follows.

BOARD MEETS TODAY
NORMAL DIRECTORS WILL DIS
CUSS STATUS OF LONG CON-
TINUED CONTROVERSY
COMPROMISE NOT UNLIKELY
Both Boards Tired of Existing Sit

Today Accounts for
Duluth School

Whether the board of normal school di-
rectors will return to the sheltering wing
of the state board of control or appeal
to the courts to determine what its in
dependent status is under the law, will
in all probability be decided today The
normal board will meet this morning at
the office of Supt. Olsen at the capitol,
and in view of its past conduct in that
respect, 1T is to be presumed that the
proceedings will be in executive session.

ability TO come to a satisfactory under
standing with the board of control, and
Will lay the matter before the board as
a whole to take further action.
Among other puzzling questions to be
presented to the board will be the neces-
sity of making provision for accounts
amounting to 5000, for the Duluth nor
NAL school for September, which will be
presented by Director Phelps as now
due. That amount includes the Septem-
Der salary of President Buchanan, $166,66,
and one months salary of Mr.. Phelps
as resident director, at $500 a year, but
the greater portion consists of estimates
on contracts for construction Work on
the new school, which Mr.. Phelps has
personally directed to be done in spite
of the existing relations of the normal
board and the board of control, and the,
refusal of the state auditor to pay vouch-
ers except they are authorized by the
board of control. What the board will
or can do as to the settlement of these.
accounts under the present conditions
remains to be seen.
1t is generally believed that the normal
board will make another effort to effect
a compromise or understanding of some
sort with the board of control and that
some time during the day a conference
of the two boards to that end will be
held

POINTED A Gun AT HIM
VIM. NIETSCHES METHOD OF HAN
DLING FATHER-IN-LAW.

William Nietsche, furrier employed at
Gordon e Ferguson's, was in the police
court yesterday on the charge of assault
with a dangerous weapon, preferred by
his father-in-law, Charles Giltzow. Ac
cording to the story told by the COM
planning witness, Nietsche is separated
from his wife, who lives at 541 Lafayette
avenue. A two-year-old child Of the de-
PENDANT died Sunday, and Nietsche, hav
ing no money, is accused of going to his
father-in-laws house with an undertaken,
and pointing two big revolvers at Mr..
and Mrs. Giltzow. This according to Mr..
Gfltzow. is the polite way in which
Nietsche attempted to compel him to pay
the funeral expenses. Giltzow grappled
with his son-in-law, but Nietsche broke
away and ran. He was arrested, and in
the police court yesterday secured a con-
tinuance until today. Nietsche claims
that he did not intend to shoot his
father-in-law, but was merely trying to
force him to pay for the expense of the
burial of the child.

ICE MAN is KILLED
JOHN HABERT, A DRIVER, FOUND
DYING IN THE
STR EET
THOUGHT TEAM RAN AWAY
Dies Very Soon After Being Dis
covered, Presumably From Con-
cussiOn of Brain-LeaVes
Large Family.

John Habert employed by the People
Ice company as driver was found dy
ing in the street on Sylvan, near Front
street, shortly after o'clock last night
by Theodore Johnson, living at "a Front
street. The man was carried into oae
home of G.. Rasmussen, living at The
same number and DIR. H. G.. Norton
summoned. He died, however, within
few minutes after medical aid reached
him. Just how he came to his death
is a mystery, but 1t is supposed that
the horses attached to the ice wagon
ran away, and he was thrown out. 1t is
also possible that he went to sleep on
the wagon and fell off. The team was
found walking slowly by two boys near
the Great Northern shops, about six
blocks away. According to Johnson, he
was coming home, and his wife met him
short distance away, and remarked
that a team hitched to an ice wagon
had passed her a few minutes before.
When they reached the house. he heard
someone grooming in the street and on
investigating discovered Habert lying in
the street. Habert was taken into the
house and medical aid summoned. His
scalp was badly torn, and it is thought
he died from conclusion of the brain.
, The dead man lived at 6lS Blair
street and leaves a wife and seven chill
dren. He has been employed by the Ice
company Tor ten years. Habert was
thirty-five years old and was born IN
Luxembourg. Yesterday was pay day and
it is said he drew about $50 When found
last night, however, he only had SIS on
his person.
Joseph Schmidt brother-in-law of
Habert's, stated last evening that Law
renee Klein, who worked with l1abert
on the ice wagon, left with him yester-
day morning, but up to late hour last
night Klein not been found. Mr..
Schmidt said lat perhaps Klein had
gotten off the wagon at Gaultier street
and started for home. Coroner A. w.
Miller was called and had the body re-
moved to the county morgue, where an
autopsy will probably be held this morn
ing.
