new TEMPORARY BUILDING
WILL BE ERECTED TO ACCOMMO'
DATE SMALLPOX PATIENTS.
that Are Current-FOur Deaths
Reported.

Work will be begun to-day on a tempo
rary building 100 feet long and twenty feet
wide near the buildings now used for a
pesthouse. The new building will be COM
Portable and we'll heated and will be used
for the additional cases of smallpox that 1t
shall be necessary to remove from houses
in the city. The buildings now available
filled. 1t will be divided in the middle
one-half being intended for women and the
other for men.
Twelve new cases were reported yester-
day Only few of those now in existence
are serious. City Sanitarian Buehler said
last night that the officials had the disease
in good control and that exaggerated re-
ports that are in circulation are either ma
licious or foolish. In several cases. he said,
malice has been at the bottom of the re-
ports sent TO the Health Board, as was
shown by investigation. Other reports
come from hasty and foolish conclusions by
alarmists. and the board has been called
to investigate from twenty to twenty-five
cases daily where there was no reason to
suspect the disease.
Mayor BooKwalter yesterday issued a
statement denying the reports that are in
circulation. These reports were generally
that several thousand cases existed in the
city, but were suppressed, and that the
disease had developed in retail stores. The
Health Board has means of knowing the
exact situation and says these reports are
abSurdly false.
Four additional deaths from smallpox,
making forty-five in ALL are reported. Two
patients at the pesthoTse, Lizzie Andrews,
thirty years old, and William A. Gilmer,
twenty-eight, died yesterday Two others
are in a precariouS state. Carl Fehrenbach,
six years old, died at his fathers home,
9l7 Indiana avenue, and Elizabeth Alder
son, thirty-eight years old, died at 1856 West
Washington street.

WAGE CONFERENCE.



Their Sessions Tomorrow.
Some of the prominent coal mine operat-
ors of the central competitive district are
arriving in the city to be on hand for the
conference tomorrow in Tomlinson Hall.
Among those who reached the city last
nighu were o. L. Garrison and John Luz
maghi, of st. Louis, and James A. Schear-
er, of Chicago. Mr.. Garrison is the presi-
dent OF the Illinois Association of Coal Mine
Owners and has been prominent at former
wage conferences between the mine owners
and the mine workers committee.
The operators are not discussing their in
tentionS and will not talk OF the probability
of conceding the demands of the miners.
The demand of 20 per cent. increase for in
them to be exorbitant. however, and it was
said by man interested in the conference
last night that it would not be granted.
There is some doubt as TO whether the IN
structions TO the wage confereeS from the
mine workers by the scale committee were
not so worded as to enable the committee
to make concessions If demanded. The
rates to be demanded are computed from
several different districts as basis, and on
Ohio coal as basic point for the calcula-
ton the demand of 1212 cents advance on
the ton would make the rate of increase ~
per cent On another calculation, that on
Hooking Valley coal mines and Pennsyl-
vania districts the increase of 1212 cents a
ton on screened coal would amount to little
more than 16 per cent. This is also said
to be too high. and an Illinois delegate said
yesterday that If demand was made of
121a per cent. and conceded he would con-
slider il fortunate.

The coliseum committee lifted tse sub

day and promised to carry IL over the $780,

ports made yesterday exceeded all the an

immensely pleasing to all. The Knight

The committee found DR.. Haas more in
terested in the public benefit Of the coliseum
than its relation 10 any private interest,
and his subscription was received with ex-
pressions OF appreciation.
GEORGE W. BLISS HOME.
The committee was surprised yesterday
by the appearance Of a man weighing 23O
pounds whose face beamed under a silk hat.
He looked as happy the leader OF a
prosperous minstrel troupe. 1t was George
W. Bliss, chairman or the original coliseum
committee. who has been absent in the
East for three weeks. He talked coliseum

nounced that he was ready for work and
his committee was stocked with material
sufficient to keep IL busy for a day at least
II Is expected that this week will be a
busy one because several OF the leading
men in the project will have TO go East
for short periods, Ii being the buying sea-
son for the merchants. ARRANGEMENTS are
now making TO continue the work aggres-
sively by the addition of committee mem
bers and volunteers from the list OF sub
scribers. Many OF those who have sub
scrfbed have been so earnest in their con-
victions as to the benefits OF coliseum
that they are ready TO join the soliciting
committees in their work.

When Mrs. Ralph. G. Curtis, living with
her husband in the Manhattan apartment
house, on North Meridian street, awoke
yesterday morning she was terrified to OBJ
serve an unwelcome guest in her room. 1t
is thought he was negro. Mrs. Curtis
was not harmed, her cries frightened
the man. and he ran from the place
Mr.. Curtis left his apartments shortly
after o'clock, leaving his wife still in
her room. She again went to sleep, but
was awakened to find a man standing in
the center of the room. Mrs. Curtis
screamed and the man hurriedly left the
room. He made no attempt to harm her
in any way or take anything from the
room, her husband said. Other roomers
in the building heard the cries of Mrs
Curtis, and several women ran to her room
By the time they arrived Mrs. Curtis was
sitting on the side of her bed and was badly
frightened.

ARCHITECT RANKIN HERE.
There Will Re No Ceremony In Cor
nerstOne Laying. He Says.

John Rankin. of Rankin & Kellogg. of
Philadelphia, architects of the new federal
building, is in the city to observe the
progress of the work Mr.. Rankin says
there will be no ceremony in the laying of
the cornerstone, so far as the Government
is concerned. but if the citizens will take
the subject up, ceremony will be ar
ranged. "All the public will have TO do
said he, lis to furnish the ceremony and
the articles to put in the cornerstone, but
this must be done within the next four
weeks. If longer delayed ii may not be
possible to have a ceremony"
Mr.. Rankin says work on the north end
of the building will be delayed until ii is
found whether the Government will make
an appropriation for the changes urged.
Mr.. Rankin does not think the public IS
helping to secure the appropriation by
planning what kind of change shall be
made. He thinks the citizens should
rather urge the appropriation and let the
other details work themselves out.

ment the Governor did not take politics

Mr.. Mitchell said last night after reading
the above dispatch that it was news to him /;
that he knew nothing of Governor Yates's

Governors messenger. When asked if he
expected TO see Colonel Oglesby he said he
did not care TO talk about Ii at all
Colonel Oglesby did not reach the city
last night but IL is understood that he will
come 10 indianapolis to-day. Mr.. Mitchell

ernor to appoint him, IL is said, and il Is
understood that he received "A telegram

vacancy caused by the resignation of Will

resolution which memorialZed the west
Virginia Legisla ture. asking for the passage
of law making il impossible TO import
miners TO fill the places OF the union men
who leave the mines there The resolution
also asks the introduction and support OF
bill similar in nature TO the Hoar-Gros-

The election of tellers provided for in the
amendment to the constitution recommend
ed by the constitution committee resulted

mates from the men receiving the next high
est vote from the convention were chosen.
GO TO THEIR HOMES.
Many members of the Pennsylvania and
West Virginia anthracite districts left for
their homes last night but the soft coal
miners will stay in the city for the OPP
orators and miners conference, which be-
gins tomorrow morning. Only the States
represented in the central competitive dis
trict will attend this conference, but other
districts generally instruct their delegates
to stay for the first few days of the con-
ference in order to learn If possible the
sentiment of the operators in order that
their demands might be based on lines sim
liar to those of the miners from the central
competitive district.
President Mitchell and the other national
officers will also stay in the city for the
conference and will do their utmost TO urge
the demands of the scale committee on the
operators. There is some indication that
the wage conference will not reach an
agreement before a bitter struggle. the re-
suit of which is already questionable as in
dictated by the remarks of several of the
miners. The talk of Secretary Wilson yes
tpr0aV showed TO some observing persons
that the national officers hardly believed
that the deliberations of the conference
will be entirely peaceful. Wilson showed
that he believed in preparing for struggle.
and that his reasons were based on the
likelihood of such a struggle being neces-

An Ancient Monument.

In the churchyard at Bewcastle, Cum
berland, England, an. isolated spot
about twelve miles from any railway
station, Is a monument bearing the In
scription, "The First Year Of Ecgfrith,
King Of This Realm"-i. e., A. D. go.
Another inscription (Runic) on the west
side says that it was set up as a
STANDARD Of Victory In Memory Of
Alchfrith, Lately King" (of Northum-
bria), who played so important a part
in the history Of the time.
An interesting account of the cross is
given in Bishop Brownies work, "The
Conversion of the Heptarchy." He says
that the inscriptions are ''the earliest
examples known to be in existence of
English literature" and, looking to the
Importance in the history of the world
Of the conversion of England, there is
no historical monument in these lands
to compare with the Bewcastle cross"
The shaft as it stands Is a square
pillar composed of single block Of
gray freestone fourteen and half feet
high. The cross head is gone, but when
entire the monument must have been
about twenty -one feet high.
