Of "WelcQme to the Shooters Shoot,

follows:
"Once more we meet upon this shore
where sport and game are found
Once more we grasp each friendly hand
and pass the bowl around;
Once more we slap our brothers back in
welcome and in cheer;
Once more we see the little ducks as they
come floating near;
Once more we fill the old gun up with
powder and with lead
Our spirits rise unto the skies dull care
away has fled.
Once more we fill our good selves up,
our load is quite weight;
Our spirits are not rising now, but going
down first-rate.
So pass along the loving cup; we'll drink
welcome toast
To each and every Shooters Shoot and
our r ght genial host.
So fill your glasses to the brim and give
hearty cheer;
We're glad to meet upon this shore and
meet each other here.
The Shooters Shoot are a right good
clan, gay and free from care,
Here's to our luck; may many a duck
fall to each ones share.
A welcome then. with right good will.
we'll drink to Chesapeake Bay.
And year by year we'll all meet here,
tho we come from far away.
Here's Health and Luck, and many a
duck to each and every brother.
Wen pass around the loving cup and
welcome one another
The pc will remain at South River

DULUTH, Aug. S.-Three months in
which to figure was productive of only
one bid for the erection of ferry
bridge across the ship canal-that OF
the Modern Structural Steel company,
of Waukesha, Wis, which offers to
complete the work for 100000. This Is
the maximum amount which may be
appropriated for the purpose under
special act of the legislature passed
at the last session.
The plans proposed for the new
bridge do not differ materially from
those which were accepted nearly two
wears ago, at the time the city en-
tered into the contract for the con-
struction of such bridge. ThN were
drawn by C. P. Turner, the same archl-
tect who drew the original plans. II
Is not understood that he is Interested
in the contracting company. but after
he drew the plans he induced this con-
Germ to swing; the proposition for him.
The plans submitted by Mr.. Turner
contemplate a bridge entirely Of steel
The eirder, which is to be Ss4 feet
long. will rest on two steel, frame tow.
ers 135 feet high, which in turn VIII

Metzdorf was called but he could af-

mumbIing something about the car fare
she would have to spend in returning
home.
The next day she was there again,
with the warrant properly 1ndorsed.
Miss Mayer examined the Endorsement,
and wrote out check for the amount
called for. The check was handed to
the woman.

you cash it for me?''
No: it is against the rules"

said the woman, thoroughly angered.
Get your husband to indorse it. and
it will be cashed at the bark on which

will cash it for you," explained the
obliging cashier.

that this also has to be Endorsed by my

business is,' said the woman.

a bridge across the canal have been IN

civil engineer, submitted plan for
a drawbridge which would cost $780,
goo, but the expense WAS too great,
and the scheme was abandoned. An
other engineer proposed tunnel, but
when the price was named at $1,000
600. this solution was also given up.
Then the city offered prize OF 81, 600
for the best set of plans, and a Mil
waukee firm won it with proposed
bridge which would have cost $3.50, 600.
Just as the council was about to order

would obstruct the canal.

She Has Handled Millions
i'm Her Capacity as Cashier

4 No woman in Minnesota, perhaps
,none in the entire country, have
handled in business way more money
belonging to other people than has
Miss Hannah Mayer, who yesterday
retired after sixteen years of continu-
Gus service as cashier in the Office OF
the county treasurer.
Sixteen years ago, when mere girl,
Miss Mayer entered the county treas
urers Office as cashier, and with the
exception of her brief annual vaca-
tions, she has been at the cashiers
window every day, rain or shine, ready
to wait upon the hundreds Of people
who have financial business to trans
act with Ramsey county.
With liberal education to begin
with Miss Mayer soon became an sex-
pert in the handling and counting of
large sums of money. Thousands of
dollars passed through her hands daily,
but rarely was there an error charged
against her.
Day after day, week after week,
month after month, and year after
year, Miss Mayer was to be found at
her post of duty, dealing with all
kinds of people, many of them cranky,
many of them ignorant in money mat
ters, but always in the same humor,
obliging and ready to explain when
ever called upon to do SO, but always
stern, yet polite, when asked to go be-
yond her authority in the matter Of

FEMALES FIGHT TO FINISH.
ColOred Woman Knocks Out Opponent
Who Threw Pepper in Her Ewes.

Mrs. Ester Cartwright, a dressmaker
living at 610 Fifth street north, is lying
at her home in a precarious condition
as a result Of an encounter with Carrie
Reid, colored, a neighbor and a one
time bosom friend.
The two quarreled over trivial mat
ter early last evening, and in the heat
Of her passion it is alleged that the
Cartwright woman so far forgot her
self as to throw handful of pepper in
Carries eyes. At any rate Carrie
thought that she was justified in re-
sorting to force and she landed a
knockout blow on her opponents nose.
In falling Mrs. Cartwright struck her
head on the sidewalk with great force
and was rendered unconscious. She
was taken to her home and DR.. Kiest-
Ter was called. For several hours he
worked over her before she gave any
signs of returning consciousness, and
it is feared that she is suffering from
concussion of the brain.
The Reid woman surrendered herself
to the police soon after the affair and
was taken to the central station where
she will be held to await the develop
ments in Mrs Cartwright's condition.

Handled ss,ooo,ooo a Year.

During the sixteen years Miss Mayer
has acted as cashier at the county
treasurer's Office she has handled on
an average of $3,000,000 per year, or
almost 50.O00,000 in all.
These figures do not take into con-
sideration the fact that all of this
money was handled by Miss Mayer
time and time again..
Could the entire amount of money
which passed through Miss Mayors
hands be converted into one dollar bills
and the ends pasted together it would
make a ribbon long enough to reach
from San Francisco to New York, with
enough to spare to reach out into the
ocean more than 1,500 miles.
: Converted into silver dollars, the
money which she handled would weigh
5000, 900 pounds, or 1900 tons, and it
would require three trains of 25 cars
each to haul it away, allowing 10000
pounds to each car.
If the amount were reduced to pen
MES and room enougR could be found
to place it in one pile, it would require
a person forty-four years, eight hours
per day, to throw it away if a penny
were to be thrown every second.
The position which Miss Mayer filled
SO creditably was not. without its trou-
bles, however. and she encountered
them almost every day of her life. 1t
was not so much troubles of her own
as those of other people with whom
she came in contact.
Troubles Are Many.
There was a good illustration only
the past week of the different classes
of people with whom Miss Mayer has
been dealing for sixteen years. The
warrants for the July pay roll had
been delivered, and woman whose
husband is in the employ of the coun-
ty, came in with the warrant. Walk
ing up to the cashiers window, the
The Saint Paul globe., 1903-08-09

check, she expressed her opinion of
the county's methods of doing business
and left the office, but before she had
reached the door Miss Mayer had for
gotten what she had said, and was
busy waiting on other people.
"Oh, that's daily occurrence" said
Miss Mayer, smilingly, in referring to
the matter. I'VE get used to it, you
know"
Miss Mayer has for many years been
considered one of the most expert ac-
countants in the state, and for this
reason she has been retained by each
succeeding county treasurer since she
first went into the office sixteen years
ago.
Miss Mayer retires to become the
wife of Adjt. Gen. Libbey, to whom she
will be married this month.
