The Appeal makes the timely sugges-
ton that if Mr.. Carnegie has not free
library lying around loose with a tag on
it for Cecil county, he might still do a
good turn and win the everlasting graf
itude of the people of our county by do
mating a we'll equipped hospital. The
people of the county would doubtless be
willing to continue patronizing the Tab
ard Inn and similar concerns for distribu-
ton of popular books, if Mr.. Carnegie
would only give them lift on their pro-
posed hospital. Why not see if there is
'anything doing" in this direction? If a
thing is worth having it is surely worth
asking for.

MONEY-MAKING IN THE ARMY.
Varied CaIlings at which a BRrber
PrOspered After Going into
Uncle Sans Service.

The bookmaker who recouped his
fortune, as told in the Sun the other
day, by amusing with games of chance
Uncle Sans artillerymen around San
Francisco, is not the only rookie
who has made money from his army
mates. Out west the other day the
Sun man ran into one ex-soldier who
had just made very comfortable pile
in his own peculiar way, and had just
obtained his discharge in order to
spend his money, relates that New
York paper.
This man was a San Francisco bar
Der when the war with Spain began
He enlisted in regiment which after
ward went to Cuba and soon got the
place of barber in his company. In
that place he. soon earned enough
ready money to make him capitalist
compared with his mates.
Schmidt, which isn't far from the
BARRIERS real name, conceived the idea
of running sort of bank and pawn
broking and loan business. To those
whom he could trust he lent money
freely at ten per cent. interest, to
those whom he couldn't trust so we'll
he lent money on personal property:
and he even went so far as to borrow
money from some of the officers so as
to lend it at interest.
When he had increased his savings,
he bought new-fangled BARRIERS
chair, with all the best improvements
and hired an assistant. Then his out
door shop got all the trade there was.
Meanwhile he was collecting a
large quantity of unredeemed articles,
jewelry, watches, clothing, curiosities
of all sorts, and even some pet animals
and birds. Finding little demand for
great many of these things, he sent
three barrels of his stuff back to the
states and cleared about $500 on the
deal.
He got to be so successful finally
that some of the officers borrowed
money from him. About that time
one of the buglers died and somebody
heard that Schmidt could blow the
bugle,
So he got that job, too, and he did
SO well at it that he was called upon
to blow taps at funeral exercises
everywhere. 1t was said of Schmidt
that he could "blow tears right out of
his bugle" when he felt like it, and
after one officers funeral collection
of $50 was taken up for Schmidt.
About that time the regiment was
ordered back to the United States, and
Schmidt took along all the pictures
and Cuban curiosities he could carry.
and sent lot more by by express. A
dealer bought the whole lot, and
Schmidt put some more money in the
bank.
1t wasn't long before Schmidt got a
chance to go to the Philippines. Be-
sides his razors and straps he took
along lot of quinine, medicines, ONT
ments and salyes supposed to be good
for fevers and skin diseases from
which the soldiers in the tropics usu-
ally suffer. He took lot of truck
out close to the firing line, and there
soon found a chance to peddle it out
and make more money.
When the Sun man saw Schmidt.
the soldier-barber had just sold two
dollar Pullman berth for six dollars to
q man who couldn't wait.
"rhere's no need of any man going
broke in the army" said Schmidt.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected,
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods .Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and VIC noted an improve.
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla

blood and it has never since returned"

One day last week the handsome pub.
lie library which Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
presented to the City of Washington was
formally opened. Mr.. Carnegie was here
and made an address. after a few re-
marks by the President, iu the course of
which he paid very delicate compliment
to Secretary of State Hay. Referring to
Mr.. Carnegie's generosity the President
said, "These gifts are most happy in two
ways-they indicate that the giver has
neither hard heart nor soft head" A
few moments later Mr.. Carnegie said, re-
ferring to the President, that 'the head
OF the greatest republic on earth had
risen to most enviable eniinence in the
republic of letters" before he had receiv-
ed the higher distinction. Then, leaning
towards Mr.. Hay, Mr.. Carnegie said, 'But
here is one who was prince in the repub-
lie of letters before the nation claimed
him."

FRANK JAMES is
THEIR ONLY HOPE
Theatrical Syndicate Wants
Him to Take the Place
of Cole Younger.

By the stringent terms Of It's pardon
TO Cole Younger the Minnesota board
or pardons has possibly blasted the
future Of q most thrilling drama and
deprived the sensation-loving public of
an inspiring and edifying spectacle.
one last hope rests upon Frank James
and should he refuse to come to the
rescue by assuming the leading role
IN realistic production of 1.-THE
Younger Brothers, Bank Robbers" 1t is
feared that the great project will fall
fiat.
This piece, it Is said, was conceived
by the Crescy Theatrical syndicate, of
chicago, and report has 1t that most
elaborate scenery, property and cos
tunes have already been prepared at
great expense on the assumption that
Cole Younger could be induced to as
sumo the leading role. From all de-
script1ons 1T would appear that the
play Is triumph in the line of blood
curdling tragedy and posters already
prepared announce 81 hundred shots a

To those who know Cole Younger
best 1t Is well understood that even
though the pardon board had placed
no structures upon him as to his future
occupation he would not have consent
ed to exhibit himself in public under
any consideration, and least of all in
theatrical production of this char
acter
Since 1t has been convincingly DEM
onstrated to the Crescy syndicate that
Younger is not available It is under
stood that the leading part in the new
drama will be Offered to Frank James.

CUPID is SHY WHEN
DIVORCED PAIR
MAKE UP
Alexander Flanders and His
Wife Part, Fall in Love
Again and Want to Re-
marry-Then Differences
Arise and They Find Hud-
son the Only Place.

Married, divorced and remarked to
the same woman is the story Of the
recent domestic troubles of Alexander
Flanders, a bookkeeper, who recently
came to st. Paul from Wisconsin to
accept a position in a wholesale house
in this city. Flanders returned to ST.
Paul yesterday from Hudson, Wis,
accompanied by bride in the person
of a woman to whom he had once be-
fore been married. The story of the
domestic life of Flanders is a peculiar
one.
Three years ago he was married to
a young woman in Door county, Wis
consin, but the domestic life of the
two was not as pleasant as had been
anticipated and the wife brought suit
for divorce. She charged cruel and
inhuman treatment and desertion, and
upon the showing made in court, was
granted a divorce in Door county,
Wisconsin, last September.
After the separation, both Mr.. and
Mrs. Flanders decided that a mistake
had been made, and at a meeting be-
tween them. decided to forget the past
and remarry. After reachitg this con-
clUsion, however, the couple found an
obstacle in the nature Of the Wiscon-
sin divorce laws, which provide that a
divorced party cannot marry within
one year after having secured a di-
VOrce.
The Flanders were not willing to
wait year, so an application was
made to Circuit Judge S. D. Hastings,
of Door county, and upon the assur-
ance of both parties that they were
ready and willing to forgive and for

the couple for a marriage license.
Application was made in Door coun-
ty for a second license, but regardless
of the permitssof the circuit judge the
county clerk refused to issue a license
on the ground that the parties had not
been divorced for period of one year.
Then Flanders came to st. Paul and
applied for a license, bringing with
him the permit of the Wisconsin judge,
but the orders of the Wisconsin judge
being of no effect in Minnesota, the
license was refused, the Minnesota
law requiring that parties shall have
been divorced for a period of six
months. Flanders was in quandary as
to what to do. Both he and his former
wife We're willing to remarry, and as
last resort communication was had
with the clerk of courts at Hudson,
Wis, who, when the situation was ex-
planned to him, stated that he would
issue license upon the presentation
OF the permit from Judge Hastings.
Mr.. and Mrs. Flanders went to Hast
ings Wednesday, secured a license and
were remarked, returning to st. Paul
yesterday afternoon.

CHILD is BEATEN TO.
The POINT OF
DEATH
Six Year-0ld Girl Is Rescued
From Dreadful Brutality
by Humane Officers-Dr.
Wirth Says the State of the
Little One Appalled,.

Frederick Adams, a farmer, living
with his third wife on a small farm
on the Sunf1sh road, two miles out Of
West St Paul, Is charged by the state
humane society with having treated
his six-year- old daughter in a most
cruel and inhuman manner. AS a re-
suit of the investigation made by the
society, the child has been taken from
the father and placed in the custody
of its aunt. Mrs. Wilhelma Pultzin,
who also lives on the Sunfish road
just outside the limits of the city.
The child was recently brought to
DR.. Wirth in this city for treatment, the
aunt telling the physician that the
father had beaten the child In a terri
child to be covered with black and blue
marks. scarcely a spot on it's little
body being free from the marks of vio-
lence. The little girls head was swol-
len and her arms and body were bad
ly bruised. DR.. Wirth cared for the
child and called the attention Of the
humane society to the case. In the
meantime the aunt kept possession Of
the child.
Rufus Hoyt, OF the state humane So
ciety, and John Moak of the city socie-
ty, have both investigated the case and
have both investigated the case and
declare it to be one of the worst call
ed to their attention in years.
The child, it seems, is a stepdaugh-
ter of Adams present wife and accord
ing to the story told by Mrs. Pultzin,
the aunt, has been subjected to in
deScribably cruel treatment. The faith
er is charged with having treated the
little one in q most brutal manner, the
step-mother raising no objections. Two
weeks ago Mrs. Pultzin, who is sis
ter Of the child's mother, went to the
n y11 80
the child, which she brought to DR..
Wirth for treatment. Since the mar
iriage of Adams to his present wife,
says Mrs. PultZin, the child has been
badly treated.
officer John Moak, of the ST. Paul
Humane society, who investigated the
case before it was placed in charge
of the state society, says:
1T appears that the father beat the
child in a terrible manner and the
step-mother seemed to approve of this
brutal treatment. AS a result of the
blows received from It's father, the girl
was covered with black and blue marks
and it's little head was SO badly sWol-
len that DR.. Wirth feared it might not
recover. Had the case not been TAX
en- out Of our hands by the state So
seiety 1 should have caused the arrest
of the father
Whether or not the state society will
cause the arrest Of Adams could not
be-. learned yesterday, but the child
Will be in the custody of it's aunt 'un-
til some action is taken.
THE condition in which the little
girl was brought to me is g. shame"
said DR.. Wirth, and If the father is
responsible for it he should be arrest
ed and severely punished. 1t was one
of the worst cases with which I ever
had anything to do"
