The board of health decided yesterday afternoon to retrench on the quarantine hospital. William Boyer, who has charge of the hospital, aud who owns the ambulance, has been receiving $600 a year salary, besides being allowed his house rent, provisions, a horse, cow, pig, chic-Kens, etc. Ihe board came to the conclusion, that, inasmuch as the city hospital could take care of the ordinary contagious diseases, such as measles, scarlet fever, typhoid, etc., it was useless to expend so much money on the quarantine hospital, which was serviceable for nothing but cholera and smallpox cases. . Accordingly Mr. Boyer's salary was reduced to ssoo, and all extras were denied, save house reut ami the use of a horse and cow. CAUGHT AM) PHOTOGRAPHED Three Men Suspected of Highway Robbery Run in. Yesterday morning about 3 o'clock Sergeant Leonard and Officer Bacon saw three men acting in a suspicious manner on Nicollet avenue, near Wash ington. They brushed up against pedestrians and made some moves that indicated a plot to rob lioffiin's drug store. The officers thereuDon arrested them. '1 he fact that one of them had a revolver and that all of them carried handkerchiefs knotted at the ends and their general appearance led the detect ives to believe that they were hold-up artists. Newspaper clippings of the recent highway robberies were also found in their pockets. They gave their names as Pat Murphy, John Riley and Frank Welch. One of the men has just finished serving a term in the peni tentiary. In the afternoon the trio were conducted to llaynes' photograph gallery and their phizes taken. They will be brought before Judge Elliott this morning. • SHY ON OFFICERS. Another Resignation Takes Place From Company A. At the meeting of Company A. held last night, the resignation of Lieut.

USURIOUS RATES ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN CHARGED BORROWERS ;~4 BY THE NEW ENGLAND BANK. Two Suits Begun Yesterday to Re gain Possession of Promissory Notes Put Up as Collateral Se curity—Tho Allegation!— Ge neral News of Monday of the City of Minneapolis. Two suits were begun in the district court yesterday which will vitally inter est all persons having any. claims against the Batik of New England, of this city. The Turtle Mountain bank,' of Dunseith. N. D., is the plaintiff in the first suit, and the Bank of New En gland, which closed about two months ago, is the defendant. If the plaintiff wins the suit, it will mean a clear loss to the Bank of New England of §10, --073.17. In other words, its assets will be diminished by this amount. The Turtie Mountain bank alleges in j its complaint that between Jan. 1 and ] March 18, IS9", it made au agreement \ with the Bank of New England, through j A. J. Blethen, its president, by which j the Turtle Mountain bank should bor- ] row, from time to time, certain amounts. These loans were to be secured by de- | positing with the Bank of New England j promissory notes indorsed by the Turtle i Mountain bank. These notes were to be held as collateral. It was further agreed— and here is the meat of the entire case— that, as a con dition to said loans, the Bank of New England should receive "the usurious rate of 12 per cent per annum." The complaint alleges that the assignee, John P. Ben. had fu'l knowledge of the existence of this "usurious agree ment." and received all the promissory notes deposited as collateral. The com plaint further declares that the as signee threatens to collect all the notes from the various makers. 11 he is per mitted to do this the complaint alleges that there would be nothing left to pay 1 any judgment the plaintiff might secure against him for conversion of the notes; inasmuch as, according to the com plaint, the assets of the Bank of Eng , laud are far less than its just liabilities. The complaint further slates that the assignee has refused to return the notes of the plaintiff, although requested to do so. The plaintiff therefore demands judgment as follows: (1) That the assignee bo restrained from collecting, transferring, negotiat ing or disposing of any of the notes; (2) that he be adjudged the holder of the proceeds of any such notes collected in trust for the plaintiff; (3) that the agreement for the loan be declared usurious and void; (4) that the notes be declared to have been received as col lateral security for the payment of the usurious loans, and to be uo part of the assets in the hands of the assignee; (5) that all of said notes be declared the property of the plaintiff; (61 that the assignee deliver all the notes to the plaintiff. The court has granted a temporary restraining order, forbidding the as signee to dispose of or convert any of the notes until the case is settled. The loans made by the Bank of New Eng land to the Turtle Mountain bank ag gregate §10.073.17. A similar suit was also brought against the Bank of New England by the Becker's Investment company, of North Dakota. In this case the plain tiff borrowed $7,107 of the defendant bank, and asks that the transaction be set aside on the ground of usury, and that a similar restraining order be issued, enjoining the assignee from dis posing of the collateral notes. The court granted a temporary order, as in the other case. MINISTERS' MEETINGS. ■ i The Clergymen Hold Their Usual I Monday Conferences. The Methodist, Baptist and Presby- j terian ministers held their regular weekly meetings yesterday forenoon. j The Methodists listened to an adlress by Key. C. P. Hard, M. A., of India, rel lative to the missionary work being done in that country, where Dr. Hard has been since 1^74. He slated there are 3.000,000 Christians in India, includ irg Roman Catholics and Protestants. Dr. Hard will speak this evening at the Twenty-fourth Street M. E. church. At the conclusion-onus address yester day, the ministers appointed a commit tee to receive the delegates to the annual | convention of the Missionary Society of the M. E. Church, which will be held at the Wesley M. E. church, commencing Nov. S. The Presbyterian ministers enjoyed an address by Frederick G. Coon upon missionary work in Persia. Mr. Conn said that' the fierce opposition of the Mohammedans rendered the work of the Christian church in Persia difficult. The Baptist ministers listened to and discussed a paper by lie v. M. Geistweit I on "Some of the Aspects of the Minis try." BUSY LIFE ENDED. J. M. Hale, the Well Known Mer chant, Passes Away. Commercial circles of Minneapolis were shocked yesterday to learn of the death of Jefferson M. Hale, the senior partner of the dry goods firm of Hale, Thomas & Co., and one of the most popular merchants in the city. The death of Mr. Hale occurred quite sud- j denly at 6 o'clock Sunday evening at the residence of his sister, Mrs. 0. C. Meeker, at Minnewashta, near Excel sior, whence he had gone two weeks ago on a visit. The remains were brought to Minneapolis, anil the funeral occurs at 2:3o o'clocK this afternoon from his late residence. 1800 Third avenue south. The deceased was a native of Tun bndge. Vt., having been born Sept. 5, 1527. and he came to Minnesota in 1862, having joined a company of volunteers to defend the frontier against Indian depredations.and in subsequent engage ments he distinguished himself for his | bravery. He commenced business in ISOB as a clerk for his brother, shortly afterwards founding the business which he lived to see such a great success. A DELICATE POINT To Bo Settled by the Officers of the Two Commercial Clubs. Club circles of Minneapolis are just now interested over a delicate question that is agitating the officers of the new and the old commercial clubs. A couple of years ago the old club was incorpo rated, but for some reason the organiza tion was not completed, and it has only recently secured quarters. The new j commercial club was incorporated about two months ago on the supposition that the former one had gone out of exist- i ence. and the officers have fitted up I handsome quarters. As the situation j now stands, there are two clubs bearing | the same name, and it remains to be I seen which will be compelled to give in. j ENGINE RAN OVER HIM.

A; BIS FIGHT OH HAND. ACTION TO ENJOIN THE ST. LCUIS RAILROAD FROM THE USE OF TRACKS Situated in East Minneapolis Exhaustive Brief Prepared by Col. Dodge, Counsel for the Minneapolis & Western Rail way Company The Case .to Corneßefore the Supreme Court Col. W. E. Dodge has prepared his brief as counsel for the plaintiff in the case of .The. Minneapolis Mill Company and The Western Railway Company vs. The Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway Company and Others. The action was brought to enjoin the St. Louis road from interfering .with the joint use of certain railway tracks on the east side of the river in Minneapolis. The tracks in question are held under a grant from the Minneapolis Mill com pany, since 1573, the grant providing that W. D. Washburn, the grantee, might construct a track on the land | controlled by the mill company, said j track to be used by tne Western Rail- I way company in connection with the j latter. In 1802 this right of the West [ crn railway to use the tracks in common was ratified between the road, Wash burn and his grantees. As a rejoinder the St. Louis company [ claims that by reason of long-continued use and prescription it has acquired au exclusive right and title to the land which the tracks are located. The case comes before the supreme court Nov. 1. The trial court, over which Judge Loch re. n presided, ruled in favor of the plaintiff, and the present case comes up on an appeal. FOUND HER DEAD. Sudden Death of Mrs. Otto John > son in North Minneapolis. . Mrs. Otto Johnson died suddenly yes terday afternoon at her home, 2121 Oliver avenue north. Mrs. Johnson had sent her children off to school, about 1 p. m. For some reason they happened to return home a short time afterward, and going into the kitchen found their mother lying on the floor. They spoke to her, but receiving no answer, they alarmed the neighbors. The people living next door sent for a physician, who arrived soon after, and pronounced Mrs. Johnson dead. Coroner Spring viewed the body later in the afternoon, and decided to hold an autopsy this morning. Dr. Spring thinks that death was due to natural causes. Mrs. John son leaves a husband and four children. Mr. Johnson is a clerk in the office of an employment agency, located at 9 First street south. WILL HAVE TO HUMP. Aid. McAllister and His Pool Room Measure. According to present indications, the anti-pool room ordinance of Afcl. McAl lister is destined to go through the council without much opposi tion. Speaking of the measure yesterday, he said that he had sixteen votes pledged aside from his own, and that they could all be counted upon when it came to a show down. "Of course," said he, "I do not make 8150,000 a year and it is hard to say what may happen. But monkey work or not, 1 intend that they will have to hump pretty hard if I am beaten." Rich In His Mind. An old man about seventy years of age was found by the police yesterday, wandering along Franklin avenue, near Seventeenth avenue south, and mutter i ing to himself. He was taken to the South' side station. When questioned I he said that he lived in Sherburne ! county. He gave the name of William j Bean, and informed the officers that he I owned lots of railroad stock. As De i was evidently out of his mind, he was I taken down to the probate court, and, I after an examination, it was decided to | notify his relatives in Sherburne county in order that he may be brought | home. ■;: They're After Them.

AN EXPRESS COMPANY SUED By a North Dakota Man, Who > Drew a $7,500 Lottery Prize - and Entrusted the Ticket to tho Express Company for Col lection—A Clerk of the Lottery 1 Charged With Flim-Flamming. What is the legal worth of a lottery ticket which cost 50" cents and drew a prize of $7,500, is the unique question which the United States will be called upon to decide two weeks hence. The Great Northern Express company is the defendant in a suit brought to set tle this question. Last May a man named Klinger, of Grand Forks, N. D., bought a ticket of the Kansas City Lot tery company, for which he paid 50 cents. It drew 57,500. Klinger entrusted it the the Great Northern Express Co. to forward to Kansas City for collection. The Great Northern Express company transferred it at St. Paul to the Ameri can Express company, which sent the ticket on to Kansas City, where it was duly presented by an agent of the com pany to the lottery people. The inter estiug episode of the story occurred at this point. It is charged that the clerk of the lottery company, as soon as the ticket was handed to him, worked the flim-flam dodge on the agent of the express company, and substituted an other ticket bearing the same number, but a different date. As he did so, it is reported that he sail: "Why, this ticket belongs to the April drawing, not the May. It isn't worth a cent." So the worthless ticket was in due course of time returned to Mr. Klinger. The latter has now brought suit against the Great Northern Express company for the value of the ticket. The ques tion to be determined is whether a lot tery ticket possesses any intrinsic value. Col. W. E. Dodge, of Minneapolis, is the attorney for the Great Northern Express company. In Search or Light. The members of the couucil are seek ing for light on the electric light ques tion, or in other words, they want to know where they are at, regarding the air-tight sinch possessed by the electric company. The five-year contract with the latter will come up at tne next meeting of the council, when a merry time is expected. By all means let us have light, on this anil a few other sub jects. Bryant Avenue Line. Arrangements have been completed by the street railway company for the completion at once of the Bryant avenue line, for the accommodation of those those who have built homes in the vicin ity of Forty-sixth street this summer. This will give a new line to Lake Har riet. Want Better Protection. A meeting of the citizens of Excelsior was held last night at which the matters of better police and lire protection were warmly discussed, and incidentally the police department came in for a roast on account of the recent looting of cot tages. It was decided to take measures ' o correct the evils. Late, but It Was There. The statement in the Globe of Mon day morning that the Sunday Tribune had no account of the Minnesota- Grinnell football game was a partial error. The first edition of the Tribune, that sent to bt.

The brains of the crocodile generate I none of that subtle something which j perpetually asks questions that have no j answers, and cherishes beliefs that have j no foundations.— Rev. Dr. J. W. Lee. We are not sure of the tauth of this I remark. We must say that when we | study the looks, attitudes and acts of a crocodile he often seems to be thinking; ; he seems at times to be in a believing or j a questioning or a doubling state of mind. The crocodile is certainly able to per ceive, to observe, to remember, and to draw deductions from phenomena. He has an emotional nature, with likes and dislikes; His ingenuity is remarkable. His faculties can be brought under cultivation, as every crocodile trainer knows. We have the means of finding out some of his thoughts, though we cannot compass all of them. He may, for all we know, or for all Rev. Dr. Lee knows, "cherish beliefs that have no foundation," and "ask questions that have no answer." He is the possessor of a brain which generates a "subtle something." , I These remarks are applicable, not alone to the crocodile, but to other ani mals, including even the monkey. Prof. Garner, of this city, recently published a curious bock on the "Speech of Mon keys," and those of our readers who kuow of his experiments with the mon keys of Central park and in Africa are aware how far he has gone in proving that they have mental faculties and powers which may yet be highly devel oped. How can Rev. Dr. Lee say that they never ask unanswerable questions? In these days some people are taking to theosophy, and they say it is an ex planation of things. The chief ex pounder of it here, in a recent discourse upon "The Soul," summed up his knowledge of the subject in the re mark: "The soul is the self of being;" and, if this be the case, we have a right to inquire, has not a crocodile the self of being? Have not other animals, as well as birds and fishes? If not, bring out the proof. Dr. Lee says that he would "rather be a man than a crocodile," but a crocodile, happy in his self of being, would rather j be what be is than be a man. A NEW CRAZE. ' j Girls Look for Young Men With Rings on Their Fingers. ! 1 New York World. ! Young men have been wondering \ j what it all could mean. ; For the past few weeks whenever a i young man met a young lady of his ac ' quaiutauce she would closely examine ! his fingers, and. finding a ring there, [ would turn it around two or three times and be satisfied. When asked for an explanation, the young lady would, of course, evade the subject and laugh most sweetly at what she would innocently call a joke. But the secret is out, and it has come to the ears of the young men. . Now the fun will be all on the other side. It is a new craze, the turning of rings on the fingers of young men by their i lady friends. Where it came from no - one knows; why the girls have all taken 1 it up . they, of course, cannot explain themselves. They think it la "Lust too lovely, that's all. : ■ •' • • 1 There in a ten. dowi* town wluclf ploys a large number of young men and women, and much time "is wasted there during the day by the practice of this . craze. Recently one of the employers discovered what, it all meant, and now there is a sign posted conspicuously iii" the room which reads: "Any employe caught practising the ring-turning busi ness'will be immediately discharged." I asked a member of the firm what it was ail about. ■ "Why, it's the craziest thing you ever heard of," he said. "The idea is this: If a young lady meets a young man with a ring on his finger she is to turn the ring two or three times. Then with another man the same thing, and so on until she has turned rings to the. extent of about twenty-four times. Then the next thing to do is to look for a married person, male or female, wearing a mar riage ring. This ring she is -to turn twice, and the next man she shakes hands with will be her husband. . . —Crazy,* isn't 'it?" said the dignified employer, with a laugh. "But that sian there has put a stop to it in this place. The. time we have lost through it would amount to days." "••->";,. "•■ I I asked one of the young ladies if ail .this .was true. After some hesitation she ; admitted, with many blushes, that it was. "Of course, you girls only do it for a joke?" said I. "Oh, no," replied she very seriously, "we all believe in it. Why. 1 know of a young lady myself who married the very man she shook hands with after turning the marriage ring. It comes true every time." "How about yourself?" "Well, I'm waiting patiently for the I young man I shook hands with to ask | me.';' And she bounded away with a laugh to join her friends. ONE CAUSE OP CHOLERA. Pilgrims Bound to Drink Sewage | at Mecca's Holy Well. E.jFrankland, writing to the London Times, says: "Some years ago you in serted a letter of mine on the condition of the water of the holy well of Zem- Zem. used by the Mohammedan pil grims at Mecca. A sample of the water came to methrough the India office. It was full of dead microbes, and con tained, in an equal volume, considerable more animal matter than is found in average London sewage. In addition, it afforded evidence of ' previous pollution with an amount of such matter at least six times as great as thatcontained in an equal volume of average London sewage. The water ha been again quite recently analyzed by Col. Bonkowski Bey. consulting j chemist to his majesty the sultan of Turkey. His results confirm my own analysis. They show tnat the water is still abominably polluted by excremen titious matter. The surroundings of this well are such as would be likely to impart to the water . these dangerous ingredients. Mecca appears to have no sewerage system, all foul matters being buried in the earth within or near the city. Hence the foulness of the water percolating into the well through this mass of cor ruption. Col. Bonkowski Bey informs me that Mecca is supplied with water of excellent quality; but. of course, the pilgrims are bound to drink at the holy well. Tens of thousands of pilgrims continue to die of cholera at Mecca, and to spread the disease elsewhere; but, so far as I know, no measures have been taken to prevent pollution, and Mecca continues to be a center from which cholera is propa?ated throughout Eu rope. . •'; s- ■ "«aaa» ! IN THE NEW FLAT. Chicago Tribune. . : . It. was the Sparks family's first night in the r.ew fiat, and Mr. Sparks felt as every man feels who has been moving all day. The drayman had dropped a trunk on the family clock and made it useless for all time. ">' "We must get another clock, my dear." said Mrs. Sparks, "and we may as well get a handsome one for the oak mantel in the front room, and a good time-piece, so you won't be late at the office any more..".: ; -*•,. v\- =-• Mr. Sparks had just paid 530 to one 'landlord to let him out, and 530 to an other to let him in. "One clock is as good as another." said he, "and I cannot waste my money on fancy ones. The works are all the same, and 1 don't propose to pay for gingerbread ornamentation." "Very well," said Mr. Sparks. That was Monday. Tuesday night Mr. Sparks slept soundly until 1 o'clock. Then the ringing of the electric front door-bell, just over the mantel in the dining room, roused him. There was no letup in the sound as Mr. Sparks pulled on his trousers and tucked iv his nightgown. "The fellow must have his foot plant ed on the button," he. thought, as he went barefooted down two flights of un carpeted stairs, while the bell kept up its . tattoo behind . him. He was in an agony lest it awake the baby, a con tingency that meant no peace until morning, for the Spark's baby was of a nervous temperament. The bell stopped its clamor just as Mr. Sparks reached the front door and threw it open. The wind swept in and chilled his knees, but there was no one there. He crept angrily back up stairs. "Who, in the name of decency," he demanded of Mrs. Sparks, "would ring our door bell at this hour of night and then run away? 1 believe it was some of your fool friends." "Our door bell," echoed Mrs. Sparks, sweetly. That wasn't our door bell, dear; it was the 80 cent alarm clock that I bought yesterday ringing off six hours ahead of time." THE MAN HE WANTED.

A NEWSPAPER MAN, Connected With the Great Paper/ the Albany Express, Makes Statements Which the People She Know and Understand. They Will Interest Not Only the News paper Fraternity but Everybody. The popular and well-known Thomas A. Lindsay, who is connected with Al bany's (N. V.) leading morning paper, the Albany Express, makes an interest ing revelation. Everybody connected with the news paper has known of the facts for some time, and can vouch for : their truth in every particular. "For many years," said Mr. Lindsay. "I have been subject to severe spells of headache and nervousness at times al most enough to drive a man to insanity from pains, loss of sleep, etc. "Medicines, narcotics, patent and pre scribed, did not give relief, and the ail ment increased continually. Having read in the Albany Morning Express, at different times, the advertisements of Dr. Greeue's Nervura blood aiid nerve remedy, I concluded to try this remedy, and after the use of six or seven bet tles found not only relief, but almost a radical cure. "The headaches are a thiug of the past, while the terrible nervous spells have gradually become less and less until now 1 have little or none of them lett and my sleep is natural and refreshing. "I do not hesitate in saying that tnis remarkable change is entirely due to Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and I heartily recommend it for ailments like my own. no matter what the cause of them." It is a fact that our great business and | professional men are fast finding out I the wonderful invigorating ami | strength-giving powers of this most | valuable discovery, Dr. Greene's : Nervura. blood and nerve remedy. It | is the medicine for the weak and nerv -1 ous. It restores health to the sick. Its remarkable cure of Mr. Lindsay, j after everything else had failed, makes another conscientious person, restored to health by its use, to add to the long and constantly increasing list of prom inent and well known people who are almost daily publishing in the papers statements of their cures by this grand medicine. It is beyond all question the greatest curer of disease known at the present day, and is the very best medicine for blood and nerves. It is purely vegetable and harmless, and is sold by druggists for §1.00. This great remedy is the discovery and prescription of "the famous physi cian, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th street. New York, who is the most suc cessful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases in this country. We would add that the doctor can be con sulted free, personally or by letter. naaa — CAME IN TO BE SHAVED. The Baldheaded Man Flustrated the Barber, Who Asked Ques tions. The baldheaded man with four days' growth of beard on his chin went into a barber's shop and sat down in oue of the operating chairs. To him presently came a knight of the razor, who re marked interrogatively: "Shave, sir?" "No." growled the man in the chair. "I want to be measured for a suit of clothes." This statement seemed to surprise the barber, but he managed to say: "This isn't a tailor shop, sir." "Isn't it?" "No, sir." "Wnat is it?" " i "It's a barber shop." "What sort of work do you do in. this shop?" -- .' / .-'■'_ 'V .J ' ' • "Shave men and cut their hair, sir." "Uo you think a man with no hair on his head would come in here to have his hair cut?" "No, sir." "Do 1 look like a lunatic?" This was replied to by a silent shake of the head, but the barber doubtless thought he was acting like one. "Then, presuming me to be a save man, bald-headed, what would you nat urally suppose 1 came here for?" "For a shave!" "Then, dear sir, why did you ask me if 1 wanted a shave when I took a seat in your chair? Why didn't you go to work at once? If some of you barbers would cultivate a habit of inferring from easily ascertained data, instead of developing such wonderful conversa tional and catechistical powers.it would be ot material aid in advauciug you in your chosen vocation and of expanding your profits. Uo you comprehend?" "Yes, sir," replied the man, as he be gan to lather the customer's face in a dazed sort of way, and he never even asked him if he wanted oil on his hair when that operation was performed. ROME AND LONDON. Not Much Difference in the Prices of Olden Times. London Laud and Water. A correspondent of a contemporary gives some interestiug details com paring the value of laud in the city of London today with the value of laud in ancient Rome. A business freehold property in the city, offered for sale by auction, was withdrawn at £176.000, or at the rate of £45 per foot. It appears that the house of Clodius cost what would be £119,479 of our money. The Roman palaces naturally fetched higher prices, while 1 smaller houses cost less. The residence iof Crassus sold for £28,000. On the i whole it would seem that real property i in Rome in the time of the Empire was ■ almost as valuable as it is in the me ! tro polls now. In Rome, as in mos cities during the mediaeval ages, the houses wete not only places of business, but also and chiefly private residences. The house of Clodius, for example, besides its store rooms, where the produce from his couutry estates was kept for sale, contained the -usual apartments of a private mansion. The Maisou Plautin at Antwerp is a tine ex ample of a . sixteenth century house where, under the same roof, were the business offices and private apartments of the proprietor. As in England and the low countries, so in Rome, the value of such houses as places of residence affected the prices they fetched in the market. Therefore the comparison with the price realized for purely business premises is in some measure untrust worthy. 1 1 1 YStovfis <5 "Ranges k f BC*asffli "™S^i.
