CLIMBS BROOKLYN
BRIDGE CABLE
Performance Of a Man Who
Wanted to See if Tower
Was Safe.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Hundreds of
persons on Brooklyn bridge tonight
We're Mortified when they saw a man
run out from the throng n start to
climb one of the big supporting cables
that extends from the shore masonry
to the top of the Manhattan tower.
The man did not hesitate and never
for an instant seemed to appreciate
the danger of immediate death.
Without a backward glance he
climbed up and up, now almost break
ing into a run, and again slowing up
a little. nce in a while he would
raise his hands up to a couple Of
smaller supporting cables that follow
he line of the big steel rope upon
which he walked, as if to steady him
self. but he did not stop until he reach
ed thep point nearest the big tower be-
yond which no one could go. Then he
rested 100 feet above the surface of
the bridge roadway.
Meanwhile a crowd of several thou
sand persons had gathered to watch
the daring feat, and traffic was block
ed. A policeman was sent up to bring
the performer down. He did not travel
so rapidly, but finally he gained the
tower, where the man was standing,
looking about him.
The watchers below expected to see
a desperate fight on top of the towAr,
but in this they were disappointed,
for in a moment both men were seen
making the descent. Hair way down
the man nearly collapsed. He threw up
his hands, however, and caught the
smaller cables and chung to them, slid
ing down the remainder Of the dis
lance. He was arrested, but v%ouchsaf-
ed no information regarding himself or
his hazardous feat except to say: II
just wanted to see if the tower was
safe"

Annual Statement, First
to b Issued byaD Democratic
Comptroller in Ten Years,
Shows Council Provided
Departments With Nearly
$4,000, 900, but, Strange to
Relate, a Handsome Bal,
ance Remains.

The first printed annual report is
sued by a st. Paul Democratic comp
troller IN ten years made its appear
ance yesterday when Comptroller
Louis Betz submitted his statement of
the c1tys finances for the e a just
closed.
Unlike his predecessor, MI. Betz has
confined his introductory to a few
brief lines, n instead of bouquets for
himself, congratuIates the city on its
promptness in meeting all bills and the
departments for the economy prac-
ticed.
In providing for the year 1902, the
city council placed $2,779,723 at the
disposal of the several city depart
nlents, but, strange to relate, they only
0 advantage of 1851, 965.52 of the
amount. The department of schools
spent the largest sum, nearly $4,000
put 1t had a close second in the dis
pursements for interest, nearly $417,-
GOO being spent for this one item.
st. Paul now has a total interest
bearing debt of $9,552,152.5O, of which,
however, $1,639,300 is tax levy city
certificates, and which will be paid off
next June. The real bonded indebted
ness Of st. Paul is $7,S7S,10O, of which
$2,386, 600 is credited to the city water
works. OF the city bonds $197, 200
worth will be paid off this year. None
OF the water bonds fall due until 1909,
out when that time does arrive there
VIII be ample money to meet the obli-
cation. AT the close of the veal the
water department was credited with a
sinking fund of 1864, 039. 70, all made
from the sale of water. So af1uent is
this department of the municipality
n 1t carries in its strong box and
credited to its sinking fund, city and
county bonds worth over $500, 600,
None Of the boards bonded indebted
ness calls for interest over 5 per cent
while some of the city obligations draw
as much as Z per cent.
st. Paul taxpayers this year, accord
Ing to Comptroller Betz, will pay $31
on every $1,000 of property credited to
them. Of this amount $3.50 is de-
manded by the state, $5.72 by the coun-
", $5.85 by the schools, and $3.50 by
the various city departments. The as
sessed valuation of real property in
the city is $73, 799, us, and personal
property $16,289,440, making a total as
sessed valuation Of $50, 0S9, 155. Show
ing the need of bonds for permanent
city improvements, Mr.. Betz SAYS that
the tax payers will have to forfeit
about four mills this year for improve
ments which otherwise might be be-
queathed to future generations.
The cash receipts for the year were
$4,SS5,364.45, and the disbursements
$4,S6l,260.78. When the books were
closed a balance of $402, 210.2O was
found to the city's credit. I41

Regret Mrs. AppIeby.

At the annual meeting Of the medi-
cal staff of the st. Paul Free Dispen-
sary, the following resolution for the
memory Of Mrs. Appleby, who was
president of the board of managers,
was adopted.
Resolved, That the members Of the
staff of the ST. Paul Free Dispensary
desire to express their deep sense Of
sorrow and regret for the untimely
death of Mrs. Cornelia Day Appleby,
who has for many years been one of
the Warmest friends and chief sup
porters of this institution.
Beloved by all and endowed with
most sterling qualities of mind and
heart, her sympathy and aid were ex-
tended to all in trouble and affection,
yet chiefly to those who had to en-
lure both poverty and disease.
by our own loss and by our own
sorrow we may in some slight degree
measure and appreciate hat infinitely
greater affection which has been Wis
tied upon those nearer and dearer to
her, and to these we convey our as
surances of deepest regret and most
profound sympathy"

MEDICAL EXAMINATION
OPEN TO GRADUATES
Alumni of Any Reputable Medical Col
Iege Eligible for Duty.

The directors of the Ramsey county
board of control have decided that in
the future all graduates of any rep
utable medical college will be allowed

as internes at the city and county hos
pital.
In the past the competitive examin-
atiOns have been restricted to grad
yates of the state university and Ham
line college.

the board that the opening of the ex-
animation to all comer will result in
better hospital service.

HUSBAND FAILS TO
TAKE AWAY FURNITURE
He Attempts to, but His Wife Calls in
an Officer and Hubby Is Locked Up.

Rudolph Gautschi, after an absence
of several weeks from his spouse, de-
cided that it would be a means of rev.
enue for him if he could take the fur
niture with which he had provided
their home in the Norman block, South
Wabasha and Chicago streets, and sell
it.
Accordingly, Rudolph INDUCED in
several Whistles to stimulate his cour-
age, and he ascended the stairs full
of a determination to take the furni-
ture. But his wife was of a different
mind and harsh words followed his
declaration. Then he avowed his in
tention of taking it by force. Mrs.
Gautschi called in AN officer and Ru-
dolph spent last night behind the bars
at the Ducas street station.

A Timely Suggestion.

This Is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re.
plenisbes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winters over, and
results are more satisfactory when
it is kept at hand and given as soon
as the cold is contracted and before IL
has become settled in the system. In
almost every instance a severe cold
may be warded off by taking this rem
edy freely as soon as the first indica-
tion of the cold appears. There is no
danger in giving il to children, for it
contains no harmful substance. 1t is
pleasant to take-both adults an chill
dren like it. Buy it and you will get
the best. For sale by Dawson Drug
Co., Dawson, and Williford & Co.,

body exhumed was that of Mrs. Rose

the sexton opened the grave, he found
that the cofin had fallen to pieces
but the woman's body was perfectly,
preserved, and the wide.open eyes
added to its life-like appearance. The
doctor, who used the permit to open
the grave, declared it a remarkable
