Humane Of ficer George Ellman, after serving the Interests of the children and the dumb brutes here for nearly four years, has tendered his resignation to the society.

Building Depends on Court. An ap plication for a construction of the will of the late W. C. Putnam was filed by Lane & Watersan and Cooke & Dodge in the district court yesterday after noon. The court is asked to authorize the trustees under the will to borrow the monev necessary to build the pro posed eight Itory fireproof office build ing at Second and Main streets. Plans for the building have been drawn and the loan has been approved, when it was found necessary to meet the tech nical point raised by the financial in terests, that an order of court authoriz ing the borrowing by the trustees of the large amount of money needed would be essential. The case hinges on the construction of the provision of the will providing that, until the last of his brothers and sisters is de ceased, the North Putnam building shall not be sold. Mr. Putnam did stipulate, however, that it should , he improved, and this cannot be done without borrowing money. Attention was called to the fact that a mortgage is considered a conditional sale, and the court is asked to rule that it is not contrary to the provisions of the will. C. A. Ficke for the Academy of Scien ces files an answer to the suit. It is the most important point the court has been asked to rule on here for a long time. It decided in favor of the trustees, there is every prospect of an early tearing down of the old Why corner and the building of an eight story steel frame block in its place. Commencement Next Week.

No matter where you are going this summer I think I can be of as sistance in planning your tour. study of many species of trees, against the use of which there has been a prejudice for one reason or other, and from an economic standpoint this is one of the most important phases of the forest work of the government. The latest discoveries of valuable qualities in a former neglected species resulted after an investigation of the red gum, sometimes commercially call ed "satin walnut," which finds its home in the hardwood bottom lands and drier swamps of the south, in mixture with ash, cottonwood and oak. This tree is one of the commonest timber trees of the south, reaching its best development in the deep, rich soil of the bottom, where it often attains a height of 150 feet and a diameter of 5 feet. Were red gum imported from ;v distance and obtainable only at a high price, it probably would be used ex tensively in the manufacture of furni ture, cabinet work and interior finish ing, but being a native wood and low in price, it has been discriminated against. Gradually this objection is being done away with, and the demand for red gum has increased very rapidly in the past few years. Bent Gradrn Sent Abroad. The best grades of red gum, clear heart, find a market almost exclusively MOLINE cut in this country is exported for use in England, France and Germany, for the manufacture of furniture, insid trimmings, newel posts and stair rail ings. ' The commoner grades of red gum are used in the United States for cheap furniture, desks, the bett grades of boxes and a number of nov elties. The poorest grade goes into boxe3, barrels, and other articles for which short, narrow boards can be used. The inner portion of the hearts of the trees, which are of little value for boards on account of shakes and other defects, are usually sawed into two by four to two by 12, and somtj times six by six and six by eight inch I building timbers. These timbers have Bitten by Dog; Has Scarlet Fever. Little Dorothy Stockman, who was so badly bitten by a dog last week, s now afflicted with scarlet fever and '. quarantined . with her mother at the biocKman nome, while a neignbor is caring for the other children of the family. When Dorothy was attacked, the other children of the Stockman family were v. Just recovering from cnickenpox. and when Doroiny was taken ill, it was thought that her dis ease was the same, but early In the week the physician diagnosed the case as scarlet fever. She is getting along as comfortably as could be expected. and while the wound in her arm is not healed,- It promises to do so shortly. Wyland in Meet.

Up to tne year 1900 elm and a little cottonwood 'were used for this purpose, but with the advance in price of these woods a substitute had to De found, and red gum, owing to its cheapness, was experimented with and found quite satisfactory. Can Treat for Warping. The chief objection to red gum is its strong tendency to warp and twist. This can be entirely overcome by proper handling. Were the lumber of high price this difficulty would have been considered and overcome long ago, and the wood used, but on account of its abundance and cheapness, very few operators have turned their atten tion to solving the problem. The preparation of red gum lumber for any purpose should begin when the tree is reiiea. to guard against stain ing and warping, it is handled in much the same way as other woods but wiUi the important difference that the piles are narrower, so that the air may cir culate freely, and thus prevent fermen tation of the sap, and that the crocs sticks must be played close together It has also been found well to place heavy weights on the cars of red gum when they are sent to the kiln. Every manufacturer of high grade furniture and trim knows, that to secure the best possible results, the material must be redried when it reaches the fac tory. Some large users of red gum re pile the stock after it has been carried awhile, and bulk it down with cross sticks every five orVix layers, eo us to straighten out whatever twist there may be in the boards. This practically assures the elimination of twisting and warping. It can be . handled in this way to much better advantage than where an effort is made to straighten it out by force, when cutting up the stock and preparing it for use; for, when the pressure is applied gradually there is no loss by reason of breaking or splitting. After having been dried and tempered in the air and then re- dried, it usually loses nearly all of it warping tendency. The cost of hand ling lumber in this manner is not great, and the good results secured thereby more than pay for whatev outlay there may be. Reinforcement Effective. A plan, which many furniture man ufacturers have followed to good ad vantage and employed where red gum oak, mahogany, or other wood3 are used, is to design the article in such a manner that the wide' pieces may be reinforced, and thus. prevent any warp ing or other defects showing up. In stances have' been known, where red were bound for St. Paul. Obituary Record.

Another manufacturer, who uses red gum for drawers and paneling. guarded against the tendency to shrink and swell by the application of a couple of coats of shellac inside and out, and found that the wood behaved itself ns well as any that could have been used. In this instance," plain sawed gum - was employed, and plain sawed material ordinarily gives mere trouble than quarter rawed. The real problem for the consuming trade is to study these questions, and to devise ways to guard against th:' difficulties encountered. If gum shows a tendency to warp, why not reinforce it in some way? When it is used in the manufacture of furniture, tenons should have more body, and greater precautions in the way of Heating the wide boards. are required.
