ST. PAUL WOMAN CASTS ASIDE
CAP AND STRIPES FOR GARB
OF INFERNO lNHABITANT
SAVES LIFE OF ACTOR
AND GETS HER REWARD
Miss Margaret Ruffner, of 60 Summit
Avenue, Forsakes Lucrative Practice
as Trained Nurse to Accept Small
Position in Lewis Morrison's Com
panv

Instances are on record of persons
entering theatrical careers after start
ing life's battle in manners quite as
diversified and numerous as the tyros
themselves, but it has been left for ST.
Paul to furnish a recruit to the ranks
of the Thespians from hospital.
Miss Margaret Ruffner of 60 Sum-
nit avenue, has cast aside the stripes
which for years have marked her as a
trained nurse and forsaken the profess
sion in which she had made a name fol
herself to go on the stage. Last night
she bade goodbye forever to her de-
mure cap and frock of white and blue
to assume the somber garb Of an in
habitant of the inferno in Lewis Nor
rison's production of Faust" at the
Metropolitan theater in Minneapolis.
Her act is only less unusual than the
manner in which the gates to histronic
fame or failure were opened to her.
Forsakes Lucrative Calling.
Miss Ruffner had a wide circle of
valuable acquaintance in the medical
profession. Her income from skilled
nursing exceeded that of most women
making their own living, but while ac-
counted one of the most valuable
nurses in st. Paul she could never for
get her first love, which was the stage.
In her babyhood she appeared season
after season in st. Louis with the
Christmas pantomime production "Bo
Peep" Jack the Giant Killer and
"'Babes in the Woods" and was only
persuaded in her more mature girlhood
TO abandon the stage because in the
opinion of relatives it did not promise
her a career
So, In 1898, Miss Ruffner had COM
pleted her course of probation at st
Luke's hospital in st. Louis and had
been attached to the staff of that in

EMPLOYMENT WILL BE GIVEN TO
ONE THOUSAND MEN BY
TRACTION COMPANY
TWENTY-FIVE ACRE
TRACT is PURCHASED
Site of New Plant Is at University and
Smelling Avenues, Where Company
contempIates Erection of Most Com
pIete Car Repair and Building Works
In Country.

The Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany yesterday recorded a conveyance;
by which it acquires title to a twenty
two acre tract of land at University
and Smelling avenues, in St Paul. On
this it is the company's intention to
erect extensive shops that will add
greatly to it's facilities for building and
repairing cars, and bring vast re-en-
forcement to ST. PauPs army Of skilled
workmen.
The deal was negotiated through j.
W. Shepard, the ST. Paul agent for
Donald Grant, of Faribault, the former
owner. Mr.. Grant receives $21,676 for
his property, and the company proposes
to eXpend nearly 100000 more in
building and equipping it's new plant.
When finished it will be the most COM
plete and well-equipped establishment
for car building owned by any city
railway company in the country.
Will Employ One Thousand.
The tract is bounded by University,
Smelling and st. Anthony avenues on its
north, west and south sides, While on
the east it adjoins vacant property. The
new shops will be within three miles
of the Minneapolis electric plant, from
which they will receive the power to
operate all their machinery. 1t was
said yesterday that the works would
give employment to perhaps a thousand
! men.
| The reasons that have led to the ac-
| QUESTION of this site are the result of
| the situation of the Twin Cities The
present shops of the company in Min
neapolis are more than fifteen miles
from some parts of it's lines in st. Paul.

Minister Bowen to Act

ENGLISH TELEPHONE OFFICE SEIZED.
Everyone in Caracas Believes h

Caracas, Dec. 13.-It is stated on
good authority that the Venezuelan
government has asked United States
Minister Bowen to act as arbitrator
in the controversy with Great Britain
and Germany. The English telephone
office here has been seized.
Everyone in Caracas believes the
situation to be desperate, and threat
ems war unless Minister Bowen sue
ceeds in having the matters in dis
pute submitted to arbitration.
1t is said, on an authority near to
President Castro, that the president
has allowed Minister Bowen to con-
municate with the Berlin and London
governments through the state de-
partment at Washington, this being
the only hope of avoiding a serious
conflict.
1t is reported that the plal of the
British and German forces is to Sc

Port for the Present.
Caracas, Dec. ia note from the
commanders of the allied Anglo-Ger-
man fleet which the Venezuelan gov
eminent refused to receive at La
Guayra, was sent to United States
Minister Bowen, at Caracas, and for
warded by him to the proper govern
ment official here. The note is in the
name of Great Britain and Germany,
and requests all Venezuelan ships,
after the lapse of five days, to re-
frain from sailing from the port of
La Guayra until the present difficult
ties are over.
The question what right Great Brit
ain and Germany have to coerce Ven
ezuela without declaring a blockade
is being asked on all sides here.
FL Mocho, Hernandez and certain
other revolutionary leaders left Mara
caibo for Curacao on their way to
Caracas. Hernandez is probably the
most popular of the revolutionary
leaders; President Castro has kept
him imprisoned at Maracaibo for sew
eral years past.
The news of the Smelling of the
fortress and custom house at Puerto
Cabello by the British cruiser Charyb-
dis and the German cruiser Vineta
reached Caracas at a late hour. 1t
caused considerable excitement, and
in spite of the preventive measures
taken by the police Of Puerto Cabello
trouble is feared at that port.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Maj. Arthur
Murray and Captains c. J. Bailey and
G. F. Landers, of the artillery corps
of the army, have made a special re-
port to the wal department in regard
to the recent official trials of the sub
marine torpedo boats Adder and
Moccasin in Little Peconic bay, which
they were invited to witness. The re-
port says that these trials are thought
to be sufficient to show clearly that
this type of submarine boat has
passed the experimental stage and
that such boats hereafter must be
taken into account as a practical and
useful element of seacoast defenses.

ONE HORRIBLE XAMpLE.
at Least One Tariff-Pr0-
te+cted Trust.

Having, vulgarly speaking, gone over
the United States with a fine-tooth
comb for the purpose of finding a trust
which is protected by the tariff, the
president hesitatingly acknowledges
that there is one such-the anthracite
trust, says the st. Louis Republic.
In his judgment "the tariff on anthra-
cite coal should be removed, and an
thracite put actually, where it now is
nominally, on the free list" He goes
on to say: "This would have no effect
at all save in crises; but in crises it
might be of service to the people,"
1t may be of service to the people,
crises or no crises. Disguised protec-
ton of anthracite hitherto has barred
out Wales anthracite from our shores.
We shall be glad to burn Wales coal at
any time at a reduced rate; especially
since we know that the anthracite coal
combination would never let us burn
Wales coal, but would quickly reduce
rates.
However, independently of the re-
commended change, anthracite will
continue to receive protection from
the 67 cents duty on bituminous, which
duty prevents to a great extent COM
petition with anthracite and maintains
the price of anthracite along the Cana
dian border and the Atlantic seaboard.
When the 81 cents duty is removed
from bituminous then the people will
be served well in the matter of coal, and
not until then.
The presidents recommendation
seems to come in response to popular
clamor that followed his "break" at
Cincinnati. There, in September, he
fatty stated that the anthracite trust
received no protection from the tariff.
Perceiving the error, the public and
the press from Bangor to San Diego
and from st. Augustine to Dawson
City took pains to point it out to him.
In the interim he has learned of the
workings of the tariff in this Nuisance.
Somebody had erected a blind protec-
ton for anthracite.
It is agreeable that the president
could discover but one horrible ex-
ample of protection when the whole
world knows that there are 1877 trusts
which are directly fostered by the
Dingley bill. He acknowledged one
with seeming reluctance and With q
large reservation.

A FORTRESS BOMBARDED.
The Venezuelan Fortress of Puerto
Cabello Silenced by British
and German Guns.
VENEZUELAN COMMANDER A PRISONER.
tion of the British Merchant Steamer
Topaze by a Mob oI venezuelsns, and
the Hauling Down of the British Flag
From the Vessel.

Puerto Cabello, Saturday, Dec. 49,
The British cruiser Charybdis and the
German cruiser Vineta bombarded
the fortress here at five o'clock this
afternoon, and quickly silenced it
The b~ombardment lasted for As min
utes. The fortress is composed of
Fort Solano and the Castle Liber-
tabor. After the firing ceased the
C~harybdis sent marines to occupy the
castle. The fortress was almost de-
molished. 1t is probable that only a
few persons were injured by the
Smelling. The commander of Castle
Libertador has been taken prisoner.
The cruisers are still here.
At seven o'clock this morning the
Charybdis and the Vineta arrived
here searching for Venezuelan gun
boats. The two cruisers sent their
boats into the inner port, but finding
no gunboats the boats returned. The
captain of the British merchant
steamer Topaze, which was seized by
the mob here last Wednesday, then
visited the British commodore on
board the Charybdis and lodged a
protest against the violation of his
ship. The British captain returned an
hour later with a detachment of so
marines, who took charge of the To-
Pare. The populace was greatly ex-
cited at this incident and raised the
cry "To arms" but there was no
disorder.
The British commodore then sent
a message to the authorities at Puer-
to Cabello demanding immediate sat
isfaction for the action of the mob
in having hauled down the British
flag from the Topaze, saying that If
this satisfaction was not forthcom-
ing in two hours, at five o'clock. the
fortress and the custom house would
be bombarded. On the receipt of this
demand the authorities sent a mes
sage to President Castro asking for
instructions.
A committee of merchants of Puer-
to Cabello then approached the Amer
lean consul here, petitioning him to
intervene. The consul accepted this
mission and visited the cruisers, but
he could obtain no alteration in the
decision of the allies.
At a quarter before five a reply
vas received from President Castro,
who authorized the chief official here
to give the British commodore ample
satisfaction. Before this answer
could be communicated to the Amer
lean consul the hour stipulated for it's
receipt had arrived; the cruisers i'm
mediately opened fire on the fortress.
The fire was returned from Fort Sol
n and Castle Libertador, but the
Venezuelan guns were soon silenced.
While the firing continued their was
intense excitement in this port. Every
house in town was closed.
The people of Puerto Cabello can
not account for this p~recipitate &C
ton on the part of the allies, which
they consider to be proof that Great
Britain and Germany intend forcing
war on Venezuela.
The British marines purpose tc
make use of the cannon in Castle
Libertador. No damage was done e
the town. The excitement of the peo-
pie is s%ubsiding.
