women who have heroically should
cred the task of caring for the derelicts
in the worlds great stream of life,
the difficult assignment in the present
times of feeding the sick and hungry.
The ladies of the Association Pro,ec-
tora de mendigos" have risen in arms
against the resolution. TheyKrefuse
Ito abide by the action OF the Council
and bitterly attack 1t.
And since they are the ones who
lhave taken up the burden which the
Insular government and the City have
thrown down, they have overwhelm-
ling show of reason to back them in
their protest against the refusal of the
Council to give any aid whatever to
this humanita rian work, and the
seemingly blind resignation of this
|charge into the hands of these benevo-
lent women, as though it were their
duty to care for these PEOPLE. instead
of the fruit of compassion aroused in
woman's breast at the sight of the
pitiful neglest of charity at the hands
of man.
There will be nothing surprising if
the Ayuntamlento secures the accom-
plishment of it's whim. Perhaps the
Administration which does not feel
disposed to take action in the POLO

world and the sting of their adversely.
In unison with the protest of these no

so that, at the least, they will not be
alone in their plea for justice in the
sacred name of charity.

WOODEN BRIDGE READY
FOR VEHICLES TO-DAY
Residents of West Washington
Street District VIII at Last
Be Thankful.

a way for vehicles to cross the river at
Washington street will finally be made to-
day, when repairs to the old wooden bridge
at that point will be completed. The
problem of getting to the west side of the
river at Washington street will then be
solved for both street cars and vehicles, the
former crossing by the temporary track
laid on the new iron bridge and the latter
by the rehabiitated wooden bridge
The opening of the old bridge will ease
the minds of thousands of people who live
in the West Washington-street district and
at Mt. Jackson, and will bring relief as
well TO the minds of the managers of the
Insane Hospital So long as il was impos-
sible for vehicles to cross the river at
Washington street the danger fTom fire
10 this entire district was very great, for
In the event OF a serious blaze, the COM
panies on the west side of the river would
have been utterly inadequate to cope with
1t, and the only route by which companies
on the east side of the river could have
reached the fire would have been by the
long detour to the Tenth-street bridge or
the RiVer-avenue bridge, and il has been
but few days since the latter bridge was
i'm disuse In the event of fire al the In
sane Hospital the chances on the total de-
struction of the institution would have been
ten To one.

PLANS FOR PARRY AVENUE
READY FOR WORKS BOARD
West Side Improvement That Will
Cost in the Aggregate Sixty
Thousand Dollars.
ALL INTERESTS AGREED

City Engineer Jeup has prepared plans
and specifications for Parry avenue. the
new thoroughfare which will skirt the river
OIL the west side, between Washington
street and Oliver avenue passing fourteen
feet under the tracks of the Big Four and
Vandalia lines. The same specifications
provide for a levee at the rivers edge along
to be ten feet wide at the top and % feet
above high-water mark at Washington
street. The street is TO be graveled, with a
cement walk on the river side and a gravel
walk on the west side
The plans and Specifications will go to
with the resolution to be passed by the
board embodying the Improvement. The
whole document is one of the longest the
board has considered, as ii is at the same
time a declaratory resolution, condemning
the land to be used for the levee and the
street, and an Improvement resolution pro-
viding for the construction of the levee and
the street. 1t is estimated that the total
cost of the improvement will be about
SIS, 600.
The resolution to be considered by the
board this morning is the elimination of
the efforts of West Side real-estate men and
to find some way to get a roadway to the
southwest part of the city without crossing
at grade the dangerous network of railroad
tracks that covers parts of that section of
the city. The various interests involved
reached an agreement within the last month
or two, and the papers prepared for the
Board of Works by the engineer embody
the plans agreed upon by these interests.

see that they did any appreciable good in
diminishing the volume of smoke from the
furnaces. He said that an immense volume
OF smoke pours from the stack almost con-
stantly. and the neighborhood is black with

two years ago, the woman had been in poor
health, and several times she threatened to
Kill herself. but little attention was paid
to her statements. While at the breakfast
table yesterday morning she acted so
strangely that when she rose and left the
room her mother, Mrs. Mary Anselm, told
the husband that he had better follow her.
The woman went directly from the din
and husband. In a drawer of the dresser
in the room Mueller kept the revolver
which the woman used to take her life.
Acting on the advice of the womans
mother, the husband hastily followed her,
but was too late to prevent the rash deed.
AS he mounted the stairs the desperate
woman said TO him: George, l am going to
kill myself" The next minute the almost
frenZied husband saw the woman press the
revolver to her temple, and. pulling the
trigger. fall heavily to the floor.
When Mueller reached the side of the
body pool OF blood had already formed on
head shot entirely away, the body was

SCHOOLDOOK CONTRACT
IS NOT YET AWARDED
Board of Education Spends the
Day Considering All Phases
of the Question.

Over twenty agents of publishing houses,
who spent all of yesterday about the office
of the superintendent of public instruction,
awaiting the decision of the State Board of
Education in granting the contract for the
readers, arithmetics and copy books for the
State during the next five years. are still
in suspense. The board adjourned last
night at o'clock to meet again this morn
ing. when it will probably name the sue
cessful bidder.
Yesterday was spent by the board in hear
ing arguments on the merits of the books
and in examining the books themselves The
contracts were examined briefly but no ac-
ton was taken in determining the con-
tract. The rumor that the four concerns,
which now publish school books would
enter protest If they were not given the
contracts. was denied yesterday by Super
intendent Cotton. IF such were the case"
he said, "the board would have heard some
thing about it, but we have not and l do not
think there is any foundation for the story"

MORE ADVICE FOR
BOYS OF THE FARM

Further discussion of the subject of the
boy and the farm is given in the February
bulletin Of the Department of Public In
struction. The discussion is along the line
OF the preceding advice given to teachers
to urge the pupils TO stay in the country
where opportunities as great as in the
city.
The bulletin says: IF young man really
believes that he will have better oppor-
tunities for himself and what he would do
for humanity by going TO the city, he
should go. He can succeed, as scores of
those who have come to the city are sue
ceeding. But let him remember that farm
work Is just as important just as honor
much ability and that 1t is just as remun-
erative as any work he will find TO do"
