modern, fireproof structure, one that
would fulfil the needs and come with
in the appropriation. The structure
will be of brick. Iron will be used
where possible, instead of wood. Plans

ASBURY' S IAFF
not TO RESIGN
EVEN THO DIR. DUNsMOOR RE-
SIGNS AS MEDICAL DIRECTOR.
The OFFICIAL Board In Charge Of the
Hospital Meets to Approve Some
Changes Which VIII Work for Har-
mony and Efficiency.

At the regular meeting Of the: As
bury hospital board this afternoons at
the home of. Mrs. Sarah n. knight,
500 Fourth avenue S, it was prom
Used that for the second time the res
ignation of DR.. r. "A. Dunsmoor, as
medical director. would be accepted,
and also that the threatened exodus
of the medical staff would not take
place in consequence.
Assurances We're received from
members of the hospital staff this
morning that; while they had accord
ed DR.. Dunsmo or,fthe compliment OF
re-electing him after he had once re-
signed because of disagreement with
the superintendent,SSth they would con-
sent to remain even if he ceased to p %
connected with the institution.
/. A decided change in the system Of
conducting the ainstitution was also
promised change which would take
from the medical director much OF
the power and prerogatives which he
now has Mrs. Knight, as superln-
.tendent of and chief donor to the
institution will, If the promised pro-
gram is carried ssout be much better
satisfied with the manner in which
the hospital is conducted.
Before the meeting was called to
order prominent member OF the
church said:
.Of late there has been considerable
discussion relating to the future well
fare of the hospital. Mrs knight, the
superintendent, is in favor of a
sdeaconess' hospital, operated entirely
on Christian lines, and Methodism in
it's entirety is in sympathy with this
plan of hospital.
'The medical staff, composed OF
numerous leading physicians Of the
city, has not been opposed in any
way to this, but has given it favor
/ and support. One of the questions at
hand to-day is as to the. medical di-
rector; who shall 1T be and how ap-
pointed?
Heretofore the medical director
has been rather self-appointed, or,
rather, not appointed by the staff. 1t
has been thought by many directors
that this should not be, but that the
medical director should be recon-
mended by the medical staff, and in
turn this recommendation confirmed
| by the board of directors.
"This, to the fair minded, seems
only Just, and tits also thought thai
whoever the medical director is he
should in every way be in harmony
with the spirit of the institution
which is embodied in the superin'
| tendent, Mrs. Knight"

Matrimonial bureaus and matrinoni
advertisements in general figured extern
sively in the case of Arthur Langdon, a
restaurant keeper at 203 Twentieth ave-
nue. N, who was m police court this morn
ing upon criminal charge preferred by
Miss Mary Weber, SIS Second street NE.
Miss Weber testified that she answered
an advertisement for wife which Lang
don had inserted in a daily paper and
that he took her on trial, as domestic,
promising to marry her later. He refused
to comply with his part of the contract
and as no settlement could be effected, an
arrest followed.
Langdon took the stand in his own be-
half and denied the wonan's testimony in
full, except that he admitted that he had
met the woman thru a marriage bureau.
He denied the charge but Judge Dickinson
ordered him held to the grand jury.
Il never promised to marry her" pro-
tested Langdon. 1.-THE first time I saw

she could work for me If she wanted to.

TWO ST. RY. ORDINANCES
Passed by ST. Paul AIdermen-They Were

Not Important.
In spite of an agreement to let all
street car legislation wait for the omnibus
BILL several members of the st. Paul
board Of aldermen led an insurrection last
evening and succeeded in passing two or
dinances, one ordering the extension Of
the Rondo street line for four blocks and
the construction of line on Randolph
street out to Pascal avenue. There were
marked evidencnes Of disapproval from
many of the aldermen and for a time it
looked as If there would be general raid
on the street railway company, but after
Aldermen Bantz and Rohland had been
placated the others were restrained from
pressing their matters.

Next Meeting.
The inferiority of much native cement
sold in the twin cities will probably be
discussed at the next meeting Of the Min

Railway companies that bought large
quantities of native cement during the last
year or two have used it, it. is said. with
the worst results in constructing bridges
and culverts. The first heavy storm dis
integrated work which should have needed
no repairs for many years. Reports from
city officials Of Minneapolis will show, it
is said, that 80 per cent Of the cement
contracted for last year failed to stand
tests and was rejected. The cement thus
proved unfit for the foundations Of side
walks was subsequently. sold to building
contractors, and walls made with mortar
containing such cement as that said one

 Nature of Present Competition.
 The competition for public favor in life insurance continues to travel large ly on three distinct abnormal lines:
 First, postponement of all dividends for ten to twenty years, whereby the effect of extravagant expense is con- cealed till the end of the period. and whereby the savings on the premiums and reserves of those who drop out in the mean time (expected to be about two- thirds of the whole in twenty years) are to be divided among those only who remain through; a speculation for the few lucky at the expense Of the many unlucky mutual" policy-holders. Second, by the so-called incentestable policy. which puts upon the honest pol iey-holder the payment of the loss on the dishonest one, to whom alone such feature would presumably be attrac- ltive.
 Third, by giving every policy holder by way of an annual cash value' the right to withdraw his contribution to the reserves in any year, which thus gives all the policy-holders the right to demand all the reserves ill any year to | the complete destruction of the Compa- ny; and this demand is first lien on

then surplus to a very large amount m order to postpone as long as might be any reduction in dividends. The princl- ,al cause of our inability to earn as much surplus as during the years from 1881 to 1893 has been the slow but steady decrease in the rate of interest realized on investments, which would have caused a much earlier reduction of dividends as was the case with other companies, but for the economies prac- ticed in the management
 The circumstances of this reduction, which has been foreshadowed in our re- ports for several years, are set forth m full detail in a communication ad- dressed to our policy-holders which IS being placed in their hands for their tuil information. It is. therefore, not re- peated here except to say
 While we have always striveil, and always shall strive, by every legitimate means. to make the current cost as small as possible, we must never lose sight of the fact that insurance which IS not secure is not worth paying for; and that. while we strive to make it cost as little as may be, we must be certain to make it cost enough to keep it indubit- ably secure against all foreseen contin- gencies incident to a business and to the investment of funds during long pe- riods of time
