1t was from this subject that the
discussion naturally drifted to the con-

nature of the statements and sugges-

belief that sooner or later the board,
through the superintendents, will in

WORK HARD FOR BOND
ISSUE AMENDMENT
Mayor and Commissioner Cannon
Would Make Posterity Help Bear
Civic Burdens.

Every effort is to be made at the
next session of the legislature to Sc
cure an amendment to the bond issue
act that will enable st. Paul to in
crease it's Indebtedness in this re-
spect.
Mayor Smith is a leader in the
movement and he has a number Of
able seconds in the persons of several
members of the charter commission,
among whom is Secretary Cannon.
There is no valid reason" said Mr..
Cannon, why city the size of st.
Paul should be hampered with debt
limit of insignificant proportions and
the burden of the citys maintenance
forced on those who pay it taxes.
There are many things that st. Paul
needs, improvements that will be en-
joyed by those to come for the next
fifty years, yet it would be manifestly
unfair to force their completion to-
day. I hope to see relief at an early
date and will do all 1 can to hasten it"
Of the eighteen members of the
charter commission Mr.. Cannon is
probably the most liberal in his views
and has been the most urgent in his
endeavor to give charter relief to those
departments asking for it.
When the personnel Of the next
Ramsey county delegation in the leg
islature is known, a special resolution
will be authorized by the two bodies Of
the council asking for relief from the
present stringent financial laws.

CHOKED TO DEATH
BY ALABAMA WRETCH
Mobile Woman's Home Entered, She
Killed and Her Niece
Assaulted.

MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 2S-Mrs. Helen
Dickson was choked to death and her
niece, Miss Helen Robertson, was as
saulted today at their home by a man,
supposed to be a negro.
The murderer climbed through a
window into the room where Mrs.
Dickson, her three-year- son, AL
bert, and her niece, Miss Robertson,
were sleeping and, after closing and
bracing the door leading into room
where Miss Robertson's father was
sleeping, strangled Mrs. Dickson into
insensibility and had clutched Miss
Robertson by the throat when she
screamed, frightening the intruder
away. Mr.. Robertson, upon hearing
his daughters cries, broke into the
room, but was unable to capture the
murderer. Mrs. Dickson died few
hours later.
Miss Robertson says that her assail-
ant struck her with something, the ma
ture of which she could not determine.
The intruder carried into the house
with him an axe, which he had secured
from the woodshed. Mrs. Dickson left
three children.

THE ROUMANIANS
Issue of Loan May Be Prevented Until
Anti-JeWish Legislation
Is Modified.

BRUSSELS, Sept. 29.-An agreement
will probably be reached between the
heads of high finance in Europe to pre-
vent the issue Of any Roumanian loan
until the oppressive anti-3ewish legis-
lation of that country has been modi-
fed. Such action would embarrass
seriously the Roumanian government
in the redemption Of a large amount Of
treasury bonds payable in 1904.
LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The Roumanian
minister to Great Britain, M. Gatargi,
denies that Jews in Roumania are sub
jected to disabilities different from
those imposed upon other foreigners
there. He says Jewish immigration is
not due to persecution, but to, severe
agricultural depression. In an editorial
on the minister's remarks, the Daily
News says:
eff that were the case there would
be occasion for a grave protest from
other nations than the United States
and Great Britain; but we are quite
certain that the United States would
not have interviewed unless it had am
pie proofs of it's case"

Down Wrath of Old
Woman.

Some. Of these human interest stories,
Of which the state fair is necessarily pro-
life, don't leak out until the fair Is a
thing of the past. Here is the latest, and
it is true one.
An honest old woman was working in a
booth in which st. Vincent church was
interested. Needless to say Father Cos
grove saw she was furnished with a pass
to the fair grounds-good for every day
in the week
On Thursday morning the old woman
found. when about to pass through the
gateway, that she had left her pass at
home.
"Ticket, madam" was the curt saluta-
ton of the gateman, as the old woman
approached.
Sure an I've forgot me ticket" she
responded, after fumbling through her
pockets, "but that's all right. I'm work.
in for Father Cosgrove."
Now the ticket taker heard nothing but
the name ''Cosgrove," which acted like
magic on him, inasmuch as it was the
name of the president of the state fair,
and likewise the name of President Cos
groves son, the head gatekeeper.
(Which Mr.. Cosgrove do you want to
see, father or SOM" politely inquired the
gatekeeper
Shaking her fist in the astonished young
mans face, the old woman exclaimed
I'D have we to know that Father Cos
grove has no son, and niver will have. "
The gatekeeper passed her in.

ENTERTAINMENT AND

Committee of the Y. M. C. A. Decides
Against Sunday Entertain

The Sunday afternoon meetings at

tee held conference yesterday after
noon at which it was decided to make
no change in the nature of the services
The committee met to consider how
1T would be possible to secure greater
attendance at the meetings. Enter
tainment features were suggested, but
the plan to couple either an intellectual
or entertainment programme with the
religious services was abandoned, as
the managers thought that it would be
entirely improper for a Sunday meet
ing.
Another meeting of the committee
will be held Tuesday evening. At yes

Hot for Twelve Years.

It Is scientifically reported that the lava
streams from Vesuvius in 1858 were so
hot twelve years later that steam was
issuing from the cracks and crevices,
while the lava beds from the eruption Of
Etna in 1857 were found to be steaming
hot, just below the top crust as late as
scientific reports of the volcano Jorullo,
in Mexico. This sent forth immense
beds were examined by a party of sci
entists, and it was found that a stick
thrust into the crevices instantly ignited,
enced in walking on the hardened crust.
Again some forty years after the eruption
it was visited by scientists and reported
to be steaming in many places, and even
eighty seven years after the eruption two
columns of steaming vapor were found to
be issuing from the crevices. Sometimes
the upper crust of such stream Of lava
cools so that plants and lichens find pre-
carious growth on the surface, while few
feet beneath the lava is almost redhot.

Destroyed.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 28.-Later re-
ports from Salina Cruz, the Pacific
terminus Of the Tehuantepec National
railway, regarding the earthquakes
Tuesday, confirm first reports. There
were seventy shocks that afternoon,
and in thte meantime a furious gale
and storm sprang US. Persons there

to protect the harbor works, and the
plant with the Titan crane, which was
out on one of the breakwaters, was
quickly encircled with a defense of
random blocks, and at o'clock in the
afternoon was reported to have been
rendered safe.
At 10 o'clock at night the storm had
increased to a severity never expert
enced within the memory of the old
est inhabitant. A huge tidal wave
leaped forward from the sea, lifting
thirty and fifty-ton blocks like cockIe-
shells and sweeping the Titan crane
over into the sea. The wave invaded
part of the town, destroying some of
its houses, and it is thought the dam
age must also have been done to the
completed portion of the port works.
The loss from the breaking down of
the new sea wall and the sweeping
away of the huge crane will be $780,

MORMONS ARE COMING
SAINTS AND ELDERS WILL HOLD
CONFERENCE IN ST PAUL
Local Disciples of Brigham Young Pre-
pare to Receive Fellow Members and
Outsiders With Purpose of Making
Converts to Doctrine of Faith They
Espouse.

A conference of the elders and saints
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter Day Saints will be held in this city
next month. The dates set are Oct. Is
and 10.
It is not generally known that the
Mormon church numbers half a hun
dred converts in the city of st. Paul.
Such is the fact. Seven elders, as the
preachers of the church are called, re-
side here, and services are held every
Sunday afternoon at Central Block,
corner of Sixth and Seventh streets.
The Sunday school begins at 2 p. M,
and the church service at 3:15 p. M
The seven elders are A. M. McFate,
L. w. Pack, George E. Gerard, James
I. Atkinson, A. M. Croft, Alexander
Mcqueen and L. M. Boyce All of the
elders are young men.

The purpose of the conference is to
expound the doctrines of the Mormon

LARGE CROWD FOR LAST LOOK
Public Is STABILITY Handled by Street
Car Company, When, in Anticipation
of Speedy Advent of Prohibitive
Conditions, 1t Seeks the Public
Greens.

The last Sunday in September is,
unoff1cially, the last Sunday in the city
parks in this Cline Yesterday hap
pened to be that day. and the people
gladly took advantage of it. For the
sun Shone.
AS the day advanced and the rain
that was confidently expected failed
to come down, the most skeptical citf-
zens took heart and ventured forth
with their families. They also took
their umbrellas.
Farewell visits were paid to pic
turesque Como park, to Wildwood and
to Fort Smelling. The inviting sun
enticed thousands of people from their
homes, and the street cars managed to
convey them to natures beauty spots.
Como park never looked prettier,
Wildwood was never more enticing,
and the scenery on the banks of the
Mississippi at Smelling never more
picturesque, tinged as the foliage is
with autumnal colors.
1t was an ideal autumn Sunday, for
which the people were abundantly
grateful.
Car Service NoticeabIy Poor.
The failure of the street railway
company to comfortably accommodate
it's patrons yesterday was conspicuous.
The street car that was not outra-
geously overcrowded was the excep-
ton.
If an accurate count of all the pas
sengers carried by the company in the
Twin Cities were to be had, it would
show that one third of them never en-
joyed the luxury of sitting down in a
street car.
The straps did good service on the
interurban line. It was impossible to
get a seat on one of these cars unless
it was boarded at the very starting
point.

FIGHT FOR MACADAM
REALTY HOLDERS IN CROcUS
PLACE OPPOSE ASPHALT
PAVING AWARD
Bids Will be Opened Today for Ex-
pensive Work, but Nom Residents
Will Follow Them to Council-Ninth
Street Property Owners Petition for
High Priced Surfacing.

Today the board of public works will
open bids on street paving and sewer
improvements figuring nearly 100000,
the principal one of which is for the
proposed paving of Crocus place with
asphalt.
So intense is the feeling of the prop
erty owners over the latter improve
ment, they being divided as to the
character Of the paving material Sc
lected. that it is expected a stiff fight
will result when the matter comes be-
fore the council for final consideration.
Non Residents Protest.
Crocus place is among the select and
aristocratic residence districts Of ST.
Paul, but much of the property which
is unimproved belongs to persons who
do not live on the street and they are
opposed to the use of asphalt. They
want macadam instead, contending
that it is cheaper and more lasting.
On the other hand, the resident proper
ty owners, of which there are about a
dozen, desire asphalt and they have
made such a vigorous fight so far that
their perseverance has been recognize
ed by the board of public works.
Among those combating the use Of
asphalt are the st. Paul Trust company
and a number of on-residents and it
is expected that their representatives
will carry the matter to the council
and endeavor to have the award of
contracts stopped. The bids for the
work will be opened today and will be
considered by the assembly at it's meet
ing Thursday evening.
Ask Expensive improvements.
Another big paving improvement,
the final order for which will be sent
to the two council bodies at their next
meeting, is the surfacing Of Ninth
street, from Summit avenue to Jackson
with asphalt. The cost will not be far
short of $4,000. Despite this fact a
majority Of the property owners are
favoring it. Petitions have been filed
asking that the Improvement be made.

Thursday is the beginning Of the year
1868 according to the Jewish reckoning
and "Rosh Hoshannah," which in He
brew stands for New Years day, will
be duly celebrated both by the ortho-
dox and reformed Jews in ST. Paul.
Rabbi Rypins, of the Mount Zion
congregation, known as the reformed
Jews, said yesterday:
"The event will be celebrated with
divine worship music and special serV-
ices. There is nothing different in the
services than those held by the Chris
tan churches at the beginning of the
civil year on January. /. The services
commence Wednesday evening at 8
o'clock in the Temple, at Tenth and
Minnesota streets, and consist of sing
ing by a mixed choir and an address
or sermon delivered by me.
Thursday morning there will be spe-
cial services at the temple and l, shall
deliver another sermon or address. The
exercises will be in the English Ian
guage, and an invitation is extended
those who desire to be present either
Wednesday evening or Thursday morn
ing.
Thursday afternoon the members OF
my congregation will celebrate the day
much the same as members of Chris
tian churches do, on New Years day.
They will extend greeting to their rela-
tives and friends, enjoy a social time
and wish each other happy year."
Ancient Rites Followed.
The orthodox Jews celebrate the New
Year for two days, commencing
Wednesday evening and continuing the
services and ceremonies until Friday
evening. The ancient ceremonies, as
held thousands of years ago, are fol-
lowed as closely as possible, and the
singing during the services is rendered
by a choir Of male voices. Instead of
the rabbi conducting the services, as in
the reformed congregations, the men,
bers of the orthodox congregations take
part in the services and ceremonials
which are held to mark the beginning
of a new wear.
