A WARM FEBRUARY.
Its Temperature Was Two Degrees
Above Average For that Month.

Last month was the warmest Feb
rusry in thirty one years. says Observer
Lyons of st. Paul. The temperature
for the month was two degrees warmer
than the average temperature for Feb
ruary and was seven degrees above
the record for the same month year
ago. The weather during the entire
winter has been exceptionally mild
and pleasant. There have been but
two periods of few days each. when
the temperature even approached the
ordinary conception of real winter.
The storm of Saturday was not I'M
usual, Mr.. Lyons says. the snowfall
was only six inches and the indica-
tions are, he said. that it will not be
lasting. March is the month of storms,
the observer says, and blizzard and
clustering weather may be expected
during the month.
While the fore part of February
gave much steady cold weather, with
thermometer registering zero or
slightly below, the temperature last
week doubtless had much to do with
bringing it up above the average, as
it was decidedly spring like.

ConstabuIary Encounter a Superior
Force OF Insurgents Near Manila.
Manila, March 4.-Twenty-five mem.
bers of the constabulary of Morong.
10 miles from Manila, encountered 80
well armed insurgents during the day.
The former fed, after expanding all
their ammunition. Eleven of the con.
stabulary are unaccounted for and il
Is believed they were killed or cap

turned back commissary wagon, but
did not modest the escort of three men.
Governor Flores of the province of
Rial says the members of the band
who recently captured Ampil, the pres
ident of Cainta, Morong province, were
neither ladrones or insurgents. He
thinks private feud was at the bottom
ceived that Ampil is still alive but I'M
der torture and expecting death. AS
previously set lorth in these dispatch
es, Ampil was an enthusiastic Ameri-
can sympathizer.
A force of constabulary and mill
tary are securing the country and bands
of insurgents and ladrones are ficck-
ing to the island of Leyte. The con-
stabulary officials have been notified
OF the arrival of band of malcontents
from Bohol and other places. They are
well armed and are serving under
Capile. An extra force of constabu-
larry will endeavor to handle the NAL
contents.
General Lukban has offered to assist
In suppressing the insurgents if Civ

share of the war according to civil
lied usages. His offer has not yet
been considered favorably.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.
Prof. NettIeton Discusses This Cues.
ton at the M. E. Church.

Professor Nettleton, in his paper be-
fore the Mems club of the Centenary
Methodist church, maintained that
the entrance of woman into business
occupations had not seriously interior
ed with mems chances to earn a liv-
ing, and had been in many respects
highly beneficial to society. He claim
ed that women had right under ex-
listing conditions to remain unmarried,
and that the best thing they could do
for society and for themselves was to
earn their own living. There was
general concurrence among those pres
emf in the views of the paper. The
general discussion which followed the
paper dwelt largely with the problem
of the servant girl, and several ex-
pressed the opinion that the domestic
problem, so far as the servant was
concerned, had been greatly aggravated
by inconsiderate treatment of hired
help.

TWENTY-oNE LIVES LOST.
Believed the British Steamer Tiber
Has Foundered.

Halifax, N. S., March 1.-THE Brit
ish steamer Tiber, from Louisburg, B.
c.. for Halifax. with cargo of coal,
is thought to have foundered with her
captain and crew of 20 men. She left
Louisburg Wednesday afternoon and
should have arrived here on Thurs
day night, as the run is only 10 miles.
At the western entrance to White
head harbor fishermen have picked up
a steamers deckhouse with pieces OF
plank attached, and fishermen at Port
Felix have secured a large wheel, ar
ticles of furniture and one side of a
ships boat. They also saw wreckage
drifting about the bay. The owners
of the steamer have received word
from Goldboro, Guysboro county, that
life buoys bearing the name Tiber had
been found there. The Tiber was on
the route between Montreal, Challotte'
town, Halifax and st. John, and was
commanded by Captain Henry Bou,
LANCER. She was booked to go from
here to Philadelphia. She was val
ued at $4,000.

ALARGE ADDITION
The StahI House to Be Nearly
Doubled in Size.
Three Story Addition Proposed, With
Twenty-Five More Sleeping
Rooms.

A three story addition to the Stahl
House, along Plum street, is one OF
the probabilities of the year in the
building line. The business of the
hotel has outgrown the accommoda-
tions, and the lessees, Mic and John
Kleinschmidt, have been urging the
owner, Joseph Stahl, to build an ad,
dition. Mr.. Stahl has finally taken
the matter up and has practically
decided to build the addition.
The addition, if constructed, will
extend along Plum street for fifty feet,
and will be three stories in height.
It will contain twenty-five sleeping
rooms, those on the first floor being
furnished with baths. The present
building has thirty-seven rooms, SC
that the addition will nearly double
the room capacity of the hotel. This
will meet the growing demands upon
this hostelry.
In case the addition is constructed
the interior of the building will be
remodeled. The dining room, which
now faces on Front street, will be put
in the new part. facing Plum street.
The barroom will be placed on the
Front street side, and the office will
be enlarged.
The improvement contemplated by
Mr.. Stahl would be very desirable
one, and all will hope that he will
decide to make it.
In case Mr.. Stahl puts fifty foot
addition on the Plum street side OF
his hotel, Henry Fricke, who owns the
next building, will extend that fifty
feet, to make it as deep as the Stahl
House.
North Front street has been getting
the lions share of Front street i'm
provements during the past year or
two.

How They Would Prevent Paw
ing Broad Street.
Bids For Asphalt Paving, Opened in
St. Paul Yesterday, Show an IS
Advance.

The plan of the opponents of the
paving of Broad street is said to be to
attempt to secure an injunction in the
district court, should their remon-
strances fail to influence the aldermen.
In case the injunction should be
denied, it is proposed to take an ap-
peal to the supreme court and pending
this to have the council enjoined from
paving the street. The hearing in the
supreme court, it is argued, would go
over until the October term, when it
would be too late to do any paving in
case the decision was adverse to the
opponents of paving.
1t is figured out that this would
throw the whole matter over until
another year, and the spring election
would occur before the work could be
undertaken. The opponents of paving
would have an opportunity of doing
some knocking" at that time, and they
believe that they would be able to
bring about the election of new set
of aldermen, who would be opposed
to paving.
This is the plan of the antis as un-
folded to the Free Press by one who
believes that he has "got next" to
the inner councils of the Broad street
wielders of the hammer.
City Attorney DALEY, when asked
today about the chances of the work
being delayed in this manner, did not
think that the city would be restrained
from paving while an appeal was
pending. but he did not care to say
much about the matter, further than
to say that the city would consider
how to cross the bridge when it got
to it.
It is not at all certain but that the
aldermen would be re- elected on the
paving issue.
st. Paul is going to do a large
amount of paving this year, mostly
with asphalt Yesterday, bids were
opened by the board of public works,
contemplating total expenditure OF
$222, $685. 90, of which $16S, S1s. % il
for asphalt paving. On the nearly
$170, 900 worth of asphalt paving, the
total bids of the two contractors differ
by only $346. The city engineer,
when he made his estimates, took into
account everything that might excuse
an advance in prices, yet his estimate!
