The Council AutUorlzes (he Proper

of Indebtedness.
The board of aldermen and the as
sembly met separately last night for
the purpose o-f adopting the annual
resolution authorizing the proper city
officials to issue certificates of indebt
edness for 80 per cent of the total
amount placed In the tax estimate for
the present year, to-wit., $1,356,827.
The aldermen met first and adopted
the resolution, and the assembly con
curred therein. Under the resolution,
certificates of indebtedness will be is
sued on account of each fund for the
following amounts:

Another matter was submitted to the
board of aldermen that was not ex
pected last night. It consisted of the
claims of the various city officials,
whose salaries were fixed by legisla
tive enactment, for the amounts due
them as unpaid salaries, In conse
quence of the 10 per cent reduction en
forced by the common council. These
claims aggregate over $9,700.
In view of the decision of the su
preme court in the caso of ex-As
sistant Corporation Attorney Bowe,
who sued the city for the 10 per cent
withheld from his salary, City Comp
troller McCardy concluded it would be
an economical move for the city to
settle all other cases rather than to
permit the officials and ex-officials to
sue and saddle the aggregate cost of
the suits upon the city. Accordingly
he requested all such officials and ex
offlcials having such claims on account
of salaries, to inform him as to the
amount of their individual claims.
They did so, and Comptroller Mc-
Cardy, after auditing them, sent them
to the city clerk, who first submitted
them to the assembly committee on
ways and means.
Yesterday this committee approved
of the claims and sent them back to
the city clerk, and last nigftt they
were submitted to the board of alder
men. They were read and referred to
the committee on claims of that body.
The claimants and the amounts al
leged to be due them and the funds
out of which these claims are tc be
paid are as follows:

O. H. Arosin was elected president of
the board of fire commissioners last
evening, after one informal and six
fcrmal ballots had been taken. Com
missioners Clark and Warner each re
ctived one vote on the informal ballot,
Commissioner Arosin two, and one was
a blank. After the vote had been an
nounced, both Mr. Clark and Mr. War
ner informed the others that under no
circumstances would they accept the
position. On the second ballot Mr.
Yanirh received one vote, and then he
announced that he would not accept, if
elected. On the fifth ballot Mr.
Walt her received two votes and
promptly declared that he would not
accept. This put the presidency of the
beard up to Mr. Aroein, as all the other
fc-ur had declared themselves. The
sixth ballot gave Mr. Walther one,
Mr. Arosin two, while two ballots were
voted blank. On the seventh ballot two
blanks were cast, but Mr. Arosin had j
the requisite number, three votes, and
was declared elected. Mr. Arosin
thanked the board for the honor, and
assured the members that he was not '
an alien, notwithstanding the state
ments of the constitutional lawyer from
the Fourth ward. Commissioner Clark
was elected vice president of the .board
on the first ballot, receiving three votes.
President Arosin announced that the |
next business would be the election of j
a secretary, but Mr. Vanish moved an i
adjournment for one week. His motion
was not seconded, but the question of
deciding as to the secretaryship was
passed.
Chief Jackson asked for an order to
purchase material for fitting up quar
ters for the new fire alarm system on
the third floor of the headquarters
building. Mr. Vanish raised the point
that the building was a fire trap, and
that as $10,000 was to be put in the
new system, it should be placed in a
fireproof building. He suggested the
removal of the system to the city hall
building. A committee consisting of
President Arosin, Chief Jackson, Supt.
of Fire Alarm Carey and Mr. Vanish
was appointed to investigate the matter
and report at an adjourned meeting
Jan. 21.
Chief Jackson reported that he had
appointed William Haller as pipeman
of Engine Company No. 4, vice John
Hoare, discharged, and Frank Kiefer
as pipeman of Engine Company No. 3,
vice Thomas Mcißride, deceased. On
motion of Mr. Arosin the confirmation
of the appointments was laid over until
the next meeting.
Electrical Inspector Varnum report
ed that ninety-one permits had been
issued in December and 101 inspections
made.
Secretary Owens submitted a state
ment showing the financial condition of
the fund as follows: Balance on hand
Jan. 1, 1898, $11,910.27; receipts from
general fund, $5,000; incidentals, $175.45;
disbursements, $1,555.36; balance on
hand, $15,500.39. There was a discrep
ancy the secretary reported of $4,920.30
between his figures and those of the
comptroller, which he had not been able
to solve.
Chief Jackson was directed to pur
chase 1,200 bushels of oats and thirty
eight tons of hay for immediate use,
and the secretary wag authorized to ad
vertise for bids for furnishing the de
partment with 240. tons of hay and
0,000 bushels of oats.
CONCERT OF MUCH MERIT.
That Given at the Park Corner •-na
tional Church.
An excellent programme was given last
night at the Park, Congregational church by
a number of musical people, whose efforts
were easily worthy a larger audience than
that which hardly tested the capacity of tho
building. The programme was given under
the direction of Prof. Emile Onet, who was
assisted by Misses Katherine Richards Gordon
and 1211 a Richard;!, Franklin Kripger, and
several of his pupils; Miss Millie Pottgleser,
Percy Churchill a-nd Harry George. Prof.
Onet added several vocal selections himself.
Miss Richards opened the programme with
the Bach-Tauslg Toccata and Fugue In D
minor, and did full Justice to the big num
ber, especially in the heavier passages. Miss
Richards is so well and favorably known
among St. Paul music lovers that it seems
almost unnecessary to chant her praises
Later in the evening she played Chopin's
Fantasie opus 49, and responded to a well-de
served encore with a somewhat intricate bar
carole by Leschitzky. The vocal numbers
were well given, and elicited vigorous ap
plause. Miss Gordon first sang Robert Schu
man's "Liebesgarten" with Prof. Onet. Her
solo whs the soprano aria from Leonca
vallo's cjuaint opera, "I Pagliacci." and was
sung with rare dramatic expression. Being
called upon for an extra number. Miss Gor
don sang a danty ballad by Chaminado called
"Were I a Gardener." Miss Millie Pottgleser
divided honors with Miss Gordon, her rich,
sympathetic contralto being heard to good
advantage in Saint Saens' "My Heart at Thy
Sweet Voice." Miss Pottgieser, who is a
comparatively young singer, uses her voice
quite skilfully, especially in the upper regis
ter, when it Is considered she Is a low con
tralto. And she sings even the florid por
tions with little apparent effort. For an en
core she selected the Page's song from Mey
erbeer's opera, "Les Huguenots," and sang it
well.
Prof. Onet was heard in that somewhat
trying tenor aria from Mozart's "Don Gio
vanni," "II Mlo- Tesoro in Tanto," so rarely
given, calling, as It does, for tho lyric and
tenor robusto quality.
Mr. Onet, it may be said, sang the diffi
cult composition very correctly, but was
heard to better advantage in a trio of num
bers further down on the^card, including bits
by Schubert, Supper, andipostl. Percy Church
ill, basso, sang Mephfjtfo's serenade from
"Faust." The musical njenu was brought to
a close by the rendition of the quartette
from tho garden Bfsene lfl the second act of
"Faust," done by :»llsses{ Gordon and Pott
gleser, and Messw. Pwey Churchill and
Harry George. This quartette taxes the abil
ity of professionals' and ft Is a fair criticism
to say that it was fairly well given.
Much of the pleasure of the evening was
due to the musicianly accompaniments of
Franklin Kriegcr. .
STATE STOCK BREEDERS'
Association Will K*»ld Its Annual
Meeting Today.
The Minnesota Stock Breeders' association
held a preliminary meeting last evening at the
Merchants' h&tel. The annual meeting of the
association will take p!aes at 1 o'clock today
in the house of representatives, when officers
for the ensuing year will be elected. Dr. C.
J. Currier, president, presided, and the pros
pects for an Increase in its membership
was talked over and also the best method of
strengthening the organization. The by-laws
relating to membership will be amended at
the meeting today, so as to admit all those in
terested in the improvement of stock, in
cluding farmers and all kinds of stockmen.
Dr. Currier appointed a committee to report
to the meeting today upon the policy and cut
line of the work to be carried through the
coming year. Those present at the confer
ence last night were: C. 11. Murphy, of Cal-
edonia; J. H. Letson, of Alexandria; A. P. 1
Hendrickson, of St. Paul; Prof. W. M. Haya,
of St. Anthony Park; Luke Stannard. of Tay

FOR SCHOOL SANITATION.
The Subject Discussed at tin* Parlor
Conference.
The commodious parlor of tho Commercial |
club was filled last evening with an assem
blage of ladles and gentlemen who attended
the twenty-seventh "parlor conference" of the
Associated Charities. "For School Sanitation"
was the Interesting topic of discussion. Roy.
S. G. Smith, the president of the Associated
Charities, occupied the chair. The attendance
was not only large, but the principals and
teachers of the public schools were well rep
resented.
The programme announced that Dr. Alex
| ander J. Stone would first discuss "What the
I Municipality Can Do," but, Dr. Stone not ar- >
; riving till later In tho evening. Superintend- }
ent of Schools V. G. Curtis told of "What j
the School Teacher Can Do." Supt. Curtis j
said that If people were to compare what
the school teacher does with what he should
So, there would be no equation. But the de- i
fects In the present sanitary condition of the ;
schools were net entirely due to the teachers,
most of whom were conscientious In making
reasonably good use of such Information as
they possessed on this subject. Supt. Curti3 \
believed that normal schools should give i
special attention to instructing teachers In
the sanitary science of the school room. Too
little attention, the supermtendent thought,
was given to this important subject In the In
; struction of teachers. Supt. Curtis suggested
that it might be quite as advisable to employ
a supervisor of health as supervisors of other
departments.
"What the Parent" Can Do" was the topic
assigned to Mrs. Charles K. Groff, the presi
dent of the Jefferson school union. Mrs. '
Groff said that the sue-cess of all public
measures depended for their success upon i
the amount of voluntary interest and action I
that the- people exhibit. Iv this movement j
to improve the sanitary condition of the }
schools the parents of the school children
were naturally the ones to take the keenest ;
Interest. They could evin-eo their interea:
by starting their children from home in a
sanitary -condition with clean hands and j
fares. Mrs. Orolf dwelt feelingly upon the i
virtue of cleanliness, and suggested that any
wealthy citizen could better honor his mean
cry by c-stablishing a free- public bath house
than by endowing a church or a chair In a
college.
Mrs. GrofT was listened to with the closest
attention when she declared that she ob
jected to the use of frf-e text books in the
public schools. She believed that they were
rnfdiums of conveying disease- germs. Neither
did Mrs. Groff approve of the common use
of pencils and drinking cups. So-me of those
present v.-ho revived their early schooling
under the free text book system but escaped
diseased germs said nothing during the regu
lar conference but after it was over several
gave expression to the opinion that tho dan
ger of dises^e from this source was slight.
Dr. Stone enlightened the assemblage con
cerning the city's relation to the matttpr of
public health. The health commissioner
spake of certain of the public schools. Bad
ventilation and defective plumbing were by
no means the only menace to health. There
were conditions existing outside the school
buildings and grounds, such as stagnant i*ools,
which became dajigerous as they dried up,
the cess pools at the homes of the children,
and tho accumulations of garbage. Dr. Stone
instanced the case of the diphtheria epidemic
In a certain portion of the Eighth ward,
which was so effectually headed off by a
pro-per cleaning up of the surroundings that
the number of cases was reduced from 24
to three inside of three weeks.
Referring to systems of ventilation. Dr.
Stone raid that the best ever kno-wn was
the old grate or fire place.
A general discussion followed, after which
the conference adjourned.
FOR SWEET CHARITY.
Enjoyable Blrtbdny Party Given at
Standard Hall.
Society joined hands with sweet charity
last evening at Standard hall, and danced
away go-lden hours in tho happy sentiment of
the cause they were furthering, and the very
commendable cffor.s of the young ladles.
The Young Ladles' Aid society gave an In
formal ball, or rather a birthday party, and
It was like a birthday party of a whole lc-t of
people, because every one was supposed to
have a birthday during the evening, that Is.
long enough to hand over the little colored
silk bags with ribbons as strings, which the
young ladles had made for tho purpose of re
ceiving as many pennies as the person was
old. Every one who was fortunate enough to
be "on the list" received one, and, of course,
some of the crusty old bachelors objected,
but they exchanged their bags with some ono
else, and those who did not put five Bryan
pennies into the bag to avoid detection. When
the young ladle 3 came to open the bags they
found that several of these old bachelors had
put in five silver dollars. Of course tho young
ladles didn't care, as It was all to go to a
most worthy object, and was all to be given
in sweet charity's name. The young ladles
tendered to their gentleman friends a terpsl
chprean treat.
The committee of young ladies who origi
nated the unique idea of the Darty was made
up as follows: Miss Eugenic Stern, chairman;
Miss Laura Woodman. Mls3 Helen Conn,
Miss Flora Worth, Miss Lowenstein. Tho
young ladies' society realized something liko
$200 on the party.

WILL NOT BE NATIONAL.
Scope of the Organization ta Be
Formed.
The committee on national consolidation met
last night at the Ryan hotel and prepared a
plan of organization to be presented at the
convention today. At first the idea was to
make tho organization a national one but at
the meeting last night It was decided to
make it the North and West Live Stock and
Improvement association. The original Inten
tion of having an annual convention will be
carried out, but it was the prevailing feeling
last evening that the association was one of
tho North and West The national orgalza
tlon idea was given up reluctantly by the
committee, but it was evident to do good work
the association must remain ono of the West
ern-Central section of the United States. The
following states will be Included in the new
organization: Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa, Ne

ttlnneftpolia i'i<»;iiniK at the Ex
pense of the Board In Uncter-
J«. lo^ii-ul Laboratory AVorlc.
The quarterly and also the annual
meeting of the state board of health
was held yesterday at the office of the
board in the Pioneer Press building.
Present ait the session were. Dr. W. J.
Mayo, of Rochester; Dr. H. Nissen, of
Albert Lea; Dr. C. F. McComb, of Du
luth; Dr. C. L. Greene and Dr. Hutch
inson, of St. Paul; Dr. Franklin Sta
ples, of Winona, and Drs. Bracken,
Wesbrook and Reynolds, of Minne
apolis. The election of officers for the
year resulted in the re-election of the
present officers:
President— Dr. Franklin Staples, cf WLnona
Vice President— Dr. Hutchinson, of St.
Paul.
Secretary— Dr. 11. M. Bracken, of Minne
apolis.
Dr. Westrook was re-elected director of tho
bacteriological laboratory, and Dr. Keynolda
director of tho veterinary department.
Under the head of new business the
board decided that in the future the
executive committee consisting of the
officers of the board and the directors
of the bacteriological and veterinary
departments would be the only com
mittee and all mattters heretofore sent
to committees would be taken charge
of by the executive committee. Dr. O.
McDonald was appointed an assistant
of the bacteriological department, and
on the suggestion of Secretary Brack
en, Charles Tilbury, meat inspector at
Minneapolis, was given authority by
the board to inspect meats as agent of
the state board without compensation.
Secretary Bracken submitted his an
nual report as also did Dr. Wesbrook,
director of the bacteriological depart
ment. The report of Dr. Reynolds, di
rector of the veterinary department,
was submitted, but not given out.
The following is an abstract of the re
port of Secretary Bracken:
Tho work connected with infectious dis
eases of animals has been satisfactory from
the executive point of view, except so far as
relates to tho control of hog cholera. Hero
the board has much to contend with. Ignor-
Ence of the law on tho part of health offi
cers, indifference of acting health officers as
to enforcement, ignorance and indifference to
tho dangers from tho disease on part of own
ers and shippers, false teachings of hog doc
tors and medicine men aro among other
things. It is quite evident that in order to
control this disease there must bo prompt
action taken at the first appearance, together
with thorough quarantine, and the use of
every possible means to prevent tho spread
of the Infection.
The bacteriological laboratory has been
worked to its utmost capacity. So far the
laboratory has been fully engaged in micro
scopical diagnosis, to the disadvantage of tho
other lines. A great part of the routine work
has been for Minneapolis, and this without
any financial assistance fron , This
is not right Minneapolis should bear the ex
pense of her own laboratory work. On tho
question of the isolation of tuberculous in
mates in Btate institutions and the increase of
the disease, reports wero received from the
state prison, institutes for defectives, school
for blind, school for feeble-minded, state
training school, soldiers' home, state reform
atory. The state prison reports that isola
tion was introduced there four years ago.
Ab a result there has been a decrease in tho
number of cases, and there are now six cases
in prison. In the institute for defectives
there were no deaths from tho disease. In
the school for the blind there was one death
from the disease. In the school for feeble
minded there were 198 deaths in sixteen
years, of which 45 were from the disease. In
the state training school there Is no case of
the disease. In the soldiers' home during the
last four years there were twenty-one deaths
from the disease. In the state reformatory
there are no well developed cases among tho
160 inmates. In the three Insane hospitals the
disease shows a gradual increase from 18S8,
and at the Fergus Fells hospital it seems
lmDossiblo to Isolate patients.
In regard to municipal meat Inspection and
abattoirs to be placed under municipal con
trol nothing has been definitely settled upon
as' a policy to be recommended. In connec
tion with the Inspection of dairy cattle, a3
conducted by the city board of health of
Mlnnc-aDolis, it seems advisable that an au
thorized inspector from our board, and I
would recommend the designation of Charles
Tilbury, meat inspector of Minneapolis, be
given authority to act as meat Inspector for
the state board.
The funds that are controlled are not ad
equate to carry on tho work we have under
taken.
The report of Dr. Wesbrook, director of
the bacteriological department, gives the
following figures: Examinations for Infec
tious or quarantinable diseases in 1890 num
bered 1,098; In 1897, 5,342; an increase of over
4.000 cases In the past year, a3 compared with
1896. Under the head of rabies. Dr. Wes
brook states there has been twenty-one cases
investigated and three carried forward from
last year. As far as the work has been suf
ficiently completed positive diagnoses have
been given In seventeen, which shows the
ccsjparativly frequent occurrence cf a dis
ease until recently unnoticed in this state.

MH. II I W STAFF.
Henry Smitli Sccnrei the Position
of Clerk.
Building Inspector Haas put in yes(
shaking hands with candidates to
in his o«l<>» and their friends, and h
whispered conversations with several hun
dred politicians. Monday nigh! the t.vrldi:^
Inspi ctor i romised Asseml hnson
and AM. Kaldunski that I). J. Harringi
the Eighth ward, would be given the position
o! plumbing Inspector. yesterday n
delegation frcm tho trades and lal r
bly and labor organizations called on Mi-
Haas and Insisted that J. A. McQuillan b«
given the position instead of Harrington It
was pointed out by th-- .1. legatii n that Har
rington was a member of the state plumbing
board, and there was do particular m
heaping honors on one man. Objection waa
also made to thp appointment of Harring
ton owing to the trouble with non-union em
ployes. Mr. Haas explained the situation to
the delegation, and the promise he had mado
to the council representatlv< s from tho
Eighth ward. The delegation hustled out to
square up the matter, and last evening it waa
announced that McQuillan would i-rubably get
the place.
Then- was nlso a hitch In the s lection of
clerk, the position now filled by J. H. i) e ll.
George H. Colter Beemed to have the call,
but developments weakened his case. It finally
came to a teat of strength between Henry
Johns on ono side and "Doe" Schlffman. Ell
Wnrner and several other politicians on the
other. The latter insisted that the position
of clerk be given to Henry Smith, of the
Fourth ward. There was all kinds of talk
rp?ul(> by the "hie; men" on both sides, but
tho SchilTman-Vv'arner combination carried
the day. and Henry Johns and his candidate
were thrown down, and, although the an
nouncement has not been officially mado.
Smith will get the place.
Mr. Haas gave out last evening that he had
selected four of the sl\ assistants who will
be employed In his office. Under Uniting In
spector Klngslcy but live assistants were im
ployed in tho office, and the tax budget for
1898 just passed provides only for that num
ber. The aggregate salaries of the assist
ants, outside of tho Inspector, Is placed r.t
$4,000. but Mr. Haas has figured it out Unit
tho amount allowed for salaries can be di
vided up among six men better than five,
and also give him another hole to j.ut a plug
in.
John Christensen. of the Sixth ward, and
John Helnlein. of tho Third ward, are n;nii(><l
as assistant inspectors, and will succeed J.
H. Healey ami F. W. Rauc-n. Christensen
was In the office under Building Inspector
Gauger, and Helnlein is a well known con
trr.ctor.
James Silk, the elevator Inspector. suceee<l3
himself in that position. I^slle I'arlln is tha
ndditionnl inspector who wll! be given a place
providing the appropriation for five assistant
Inspectors can be divided up among six. As
to the plumbing inspector and clerk, Mr.
Haas has not decided, but McQuillan and
Smith will undoubtedly bo named, possibly
today.
