STRENGTHENING
FUND EXHAUSTED
Health Department May Later
Remove Refuse as a Work
of Sanitary Necessity.

Health Commissioner ohage may be
asked to come to the rescue Of the
street cleaning department.
Because of lack of funds City En-
gineer Rundlett = has let out all men
employed in the street cleaning and
repair departments. All but the night
street flushing crew were given their
time Friday and the flushing crew
was laid off at the close of work Sat
urday night
This means that nothing more will
be done by this department in street
cleaning until the first of the new
year, when the regular fund will be-
come available, in the meantime thou
sands of loads of dirt and filth will ac-
cumulate unless other arrangements
shall be made for its removal.
Health Commissioner Ohage has al
ways said that clean, streets are es-
sentiai to good health, and he may
be compelled to Interfere if the ac-
emulation of filth becomes too great.
Should. good health demand it, he
would take the entire matter out OF
the engineers hands and do the work
himself. He alone of all the depart
mentS, can exceed his appropriation
when the health of the city demands it.
City Engineer Can Do Nothing.
my hands are tied" said City En-
gineer Rulidlett yesterday. IF ever
there was "a time when the streets
needed to be kept napple-pie order it
is just now The city and it's streets
keep growing, but my annual appro-
priation does not All can do now is
to wait until my next years appro-
priation becomes available"
What the department fears most is
a possible big snow storm, which may
come any time after this month. Not
shovelful could be removed until
the first of the year, no matter how it
interfered with traffic. Mr.. Rundlett,
thinking that the general fund could
be called upon in case of an emer-
gency, consulted the legal department,
but got little encouragement. All he
can spend dn one year, according to
the charter, is, $175,O00, and all of that
is not always available, as the full
amount OF taxes is not always paid.
Mr.. Rundlett does not think that Dr.
Ohage will need to interfere, as the
snow will soon come and all filth will
then be hidden but the health inspec-
tors say that If necessary something
will be done by their department. The
effect of laying off the street sweep
ers is already noticeable in the bus1-
ness district

VERDICT FOR PERSONAL
INJURY is SET ASIDE
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
Reverses the Lower Tribunal.

The United States circuit court for
the district of Minnesota is reversed
in an opinion written by Judge Thayer
and handed down in the United States
circuit court of appeals yesterday in
the case of Fred Brown against the
Musser- Sauntry Land, Lumber and
Manufacturing company. Brown is
held to be not entitled to a verdict for
$500 awarded him in the lower court.
In jury trial in the lower court the
plaintiff was awarded verdict for
personal injuries sustained while en-
ployed in unloading logs for the de-
PENDANT company. He was working
with a short-handled ak upon pile Of
logs, which reached high above his
head. On account of the short handle
to his ak he was unable to escape in
jury when some of the logs fell.
The court of appeals held that Brown
was guilty of contriputory negligence
in continuing to work with such an ak
as was described by the plaintiff, and
that in doing so he assumed all the
risk involved.
A verdict for the defendant company
is directed.

tested against the prices offered by
the appraisers

to the property the building thereon
will be removed and the land will be
used as part of the approach to the
new building.

sUSTAlNS THE LAW
District Court Says Grocers
Must Close Sunday.

The decision rendered by Judge Hine
in the municipal court, in which he
held to be constitutional the Sunday
closing law under which a number of
suburban grocers have been convicted,
is upheld by Judge Jaggard in a de-
cisien handed down in the district
court yesterday.
P. G. Hoffman, a grocer, arrested un-
der this law, was found guilty in the
municipal court, and sued out a writ of
habeas corpus in the district court.
Judge Jaggard, in discharging the
writ, finds the title sufficient, and says
the classification involved is not SO
palpably arbitrary as to justify the
setting aside of legislative action by
the court. Judge Hine is commended
in the decision for his opinion rendered
in the trials under the act.

SLY FRENCH SWINDLERS.
One Smooth Operator Who Used the
Telephone to Ensnare His
Victims.

But how easily the swindler can
play upon the cupidity of his dupes is
best shown in the two cases that have
been filling the Paris papers, says the
London Express. Boulaine, the Paris
banker, whose escape on Wednesday
from the police officers is supposed to
have been connived at, conducted his
operations in the most open manner.
He had four banks in Paris, one of
which had offices in Lyons and Mar
seilles. When he started in business
he was not merely penniless, but quite
illiterate. He could hardly read or
write. He dazzled people with his
splendid style of living, and excited
their cupidity by suggesting that they
could become as rich as he.
Boulaine understood the Importance
of paying cash to tradesmen, land
lords and those from whom he bought
property. ''Swindle your friends,
but pay your tradesmen," was his rule.
By very simple contrivance he al
lowed it to be understood that he was
on very familiar terms with the great
financiers of the world. When a eli
ent called Boulaine received him, seat
ed at large office table, on which
were two telephones. They would
talk business. Presently a telephone
would ring. Excuse me minute"
he would say. ''Hello, who's there?
Rothschilds. Yes, its Boulaine. All
right, put me through" And he would
explain to his client how Baron Koths-
child wanted to speak to him privately
-'but you need not leave the ROOM"
Then, turning to the telephone, he
would continue: "Good-morning, my
dear baron. All right-four millions.
Only three, you say? That is unfor-
tunate. understood you to say four;
that must have been misunderstand
ing. Yes, we will talk it over. That's
all right; dejeuner at one. Good
morning"
When it was not Rothschild it was
a minister or an ambassador with
whom he conversed.
The telephone was a dummy one.
He rang it himself by pressing a but
ton with his knee under the table. The
conversations were purely imaginary,
but they hardy ever failed in the de-
sired effect. Boulaine had collected
around him a number of directors of
good family. When his victims began
to press for repayments of their loans
he would ask them to dinner. Being
brilliant conversationalist and pos
sessed of charming manners, he had
little difficulty in inducing them to
postpone the time for repayment.

HERO OF BULL RING.
One Humble Participant Who Goes
Into the Arena All Unprepared
for Combat.

But before L can share the popu-
lar admiration for the matador there
is one humble participant in the bull
fight who must be eliminated He is
the chulo. or attendant. who, armed
only with a rake, scrapes the sand
over the blood. and offsaddles the
dead horses. says writer in Scrib-
ner's.
From stage managers point of
view, his presence in the ring is a
grave mistake. There is no doubt
that to him his life is Just as
valuable as is the life of the matador
to the matador, but invariably it is
the chulo who is the last to leave the
arena. And even when he does make
his exit, he goes sulkily and under
protest. By his manner he gives you
to understand that the bull is inter-
fering with his work and that he
regards him as nuisance. Again and
again, after the matadors have vault
ed to safety you will see the humble
super, rake in hand and with one
foot on the step of barrier, wait
ing patiently for the bull to sweep
by and permit him to continue with
his hoeing. He steps out of the way
of the bull with no more braggadocio
or assumed terror than he would
in avoiding a tram-car. His business
is to sweep the arena, and all
through the fight he and his humble
brethren, cursed though they be by
the most enticing of firemen's shirts,
continue to go about their own bust
ness, while the raging bull and the
stars of their profession disport
themselves in the limelight. The
stranger cannot help but observe
that the man with the rake is in
danger just as great as is the man
with the sword, and that he regards
it not at all. He should be taught
to do so. He should be made to show
open fear of the bull As it is, he
spoils the dramatic effect.

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER Phillip Rossiter, a young
cellege-bred man, through lack of deter
mination and will-power, had descended
to the level of a common tramp. He
has stolen a ride on a freight train and
by chance gets off at Illica, town well
known to him in his college days.
CHAPTER II.-While lounging on the
river bank next day he hears cry for
help and saves young man, Joe Becraft,
from drowning. The latter seeing what
Rossiter is and wishing to help him asks
Philip to accompany him to the hop
fields where he is going to work. Philip
consents to go with him.
CHAPTER III-They go to a barber in
town who improves Philips appearance
and later, in company with Joe's mother,
sister and brother, they leave for Mr..
Merton's hop-fields.
CHAPTER IV.-On the way Philip rec
ognizes many scenes familiar to him in
his college days, and the contrast be-
tween his bright ambitions of those days
and his present low condition saddens
him and makes him despise himself.
