COURT CAN BE 4 FEET.
Important Ruling Regarding Space Be-
tween Tenement Buildings by
Attorney General.

MADISON, Wis. Dec. 2O.-ESpecial.l
Attorney General Gilbert rendered an
opinion today interpreting the tenement
house law so that a building and con-
Struction of which is now being delayed
in Milwaukee and other cities, can be
pushed to completion. Some building in
spCctors have so interpreted the law that
there should be an S-foot court between
two buildings. The official opinion
finds that 4-foot court is sufficient to
comply with the statute.

Apparently they are merely little glob-
ules of glass with elongated tails made
by heating a small rod in a flame and
allowing the molten drops to fall into
water. After they have cooled you may
pound the thick part with hammer or
mallet, yet you cannot break them On
the other hand, if you break little piece
off their tails, or touch any part of them
with quartz crystal, they will disappear

SALVATION ARMY MEN SUPPLY
 EVIDENCE.


 Another chapter was added yesterday to the Ochsner trouble, which has re- gently been so much in the public eye, by the filing of a cross-suit for divorce against his wife by Robert R. Ochsner, treasurer of the A. Ochsner & Sons Manufacturing company in State street. MT. Ochsner's suit is said to be based on evidence procured by Shad rack McClair and George Lee, mem bers of the local corps of the Salvation army.
 MT. Ochsner's suit follows quickly upon the disposition of the cases of Me Clair and Lee in the city court. The detectives were arrested upon complaint of Mrs. Ochsner, who said that they came to her home in Academy street and raised big rumpus there. She did not appear in court to press the com plaint against the detectives, and the cases against them were nolled Satur- day..
 The first suit for divorce was brought by Mrs, Ochsner several weeks ago, when she caused attachments to be made upon her husbands property for $10,000 alimony.
 The suit brought by Ochsner is re- turnable to the superior court a week from to-day. He has retained Charles s. Hamilton.

Successful Exhibition of the Power or
 the Glittering Eye.
 Pauline, the French hypnotist, gave an interesting exhibition of his mys- terious art at the Hyperion last night. All the work has a straightforward, above-board characteristic about it; to all appearances it is all done by the glittering eye of Pauline. Most of the entertainment consists in working on certain especially good subjects to put them through a series of comical an- tics. Four young men were the chief actors last night They fled from rats, yelled with pain, cared for crying in- fants, presented imaginary boquets to ladies in the audience, all at the sug- gestion of Pauline and his glittering eye. Besides Pauline there was Charles Kenna, a clever nonologue artist, and a troupe of the Four American trum- peters who furnished unusual music and many instruments. But greater than any one of these was a tall and skinney youth with a distinct rustic air. and a white nest. If he could manage a state of perpetual hypnotism any minstrel show in the country would be anxious to star him.
 Pauline is to be at the Hyperion one week, except Wednesday night He promises change of program and new features every night.

 The Hirsh Stores, long famous for their great yearly sale of trousers cut from ends, have again come to the front under the new management of MT Hughes, with another special sale of these useful articles. The req son given for the firm being able to sell these garments at the low figure of $2.22 is that the trousers are cut from factory ends, which are sold at a very small figure. The trousers come in all sizes and all kinds of material, and are all put in at the same low figure, $2.22. Those who are on hand early will of course have the choice of the selection.

 And What it Costs People of This
 State,
 With the more or less recent biting by mad dogs and the necessity of those bitten being compelled to go to New York to be treated at the Pasteur in stitute, a good deal of interest has been awakened as to the cost of the treatment. Those in the best of position to state say that the treatment of the institute costs one hundred and fifty dollars, to which must be added the cost of trips to New York each day for a number of weeks or else board right In the city and the loss of salary or other income incident ito ones being away from business for some time. It is a very conservative estimate which places the cost of the necessary treat ment at two hundred and fifty dollars, all of which has to fall on the one un- dergoing the treatment, which seems an unnecessary hardship as in neither of the cases that have occurred here has the man bitten been in the least to blame There are a good many per sons who think that the expense of this treatment should be borne by the town, and in support of this claim say that if a persons S chickens ar sheep are killed by dogs the town at once reimburses the loser and where a horse or COW dies from hydraphobla the owner Is given something from the town treasu- ". They ask if the life of a person should not receive at least as much consideration as the loss of fowl or animal.
