For Two Years Was Otis' Adjutant
General— Medal for Gnl
. lantrj- in Civil. .-, ..
.•,.,.. War.
The retirement of Brig. Gen. Theodora
Schwan from the regular army marks
the close of a stirring military career
which covered a period of forty-four
jears. The general, who is now living
at the Aberdeen, was retired yesterday,
and he will now take his long-desired
and much-needed rest. lie has been in
St. Paul ever since his return from the
Philippines last June and most of the
time his health has been poor.
The career of the general in the Civil
war was a gallant one, and at Peebles'
farm, Oct. 1, IS6I, he received a medal
of honor for most distinguished gallan
try. He helped a brother officer when
it was a case of every man for him
self.
Some fifteen years ago the general
was transferred from the line of the
army to the adjutant general's depart
ment, and at the outbreak of the Spanish
war he was sent to the Philippines. He
was Gen. Otis' adjutant general for two
years.
Gen. Schwan looks every inch a soldier.
He has sharp blue eyes and hair and
mustache of iron gray. It was only a
few weeks ago that he was appointed
brigadier general of the regular army.
BIG CLOCK IN DARKNESS.
City Hall Timepiece Went Ont With-
out Giving "Warning.
For some unexplained reason the halo
of light that illuminates the big clock
in the pitjf hall tower failed in its cheer
to the belated traveler and the denizens
of Newspaper Row last night. Dark
ness. Kuyptian in its intensity, held forth
where the big orb is wont to be and peo
ple wondered.
The "glim" failed in its mission about
1C o'clock and the faces that of habit
looked upward at their old friend were
mystified^ The messenger boys gather
ed in groups to discuss the cause, while
the belated travelers wending their weary
way homeward from lodge stopped in at
the neighboring saloons and compared
notes. It was a momentous question, this
eudden departure of an old friend, sel
dom given to caprices and whose habits
v, ere as steady as the day. What con
clusion was reached is not known, bat
more than one who wakes up this morn
ing after a weary night vigil will be sure
to inquire about the fate of his old friend
and be pleased to know that he is still
there. The big bell tolled off the hours
us of old, but it was only until the orb
of day peeped over the horizon that its
familiar face once more beamed down
oi those that hurried along the streets.
The cause was a defective fuse which
will be repaired today.

MONEY IN PINE FORESTS.
Gen. C. C. Anilrc«» Lecture* on State
KoresSry Resources.
A rtereoptlcon lecture on forestry was
given by Gen. C. C. Andrews at the Col
lege of Agriculture yesterday afternoon.
Jn part, he said:
"A characteristic feature of our rural
landscape is the modest dwelling' and
large barn. The large bj.rn! How much
is expressed in those few words. Surely
the barnboilder is one of the principal
consumers of lumber. There are JO.oOO.O'jO
acres of land 'n Minnesota suitable for
agriculture, but not yet cultivated, and
the progress of its development will de
pend not a little on the cheapness of ium
ber. Six million dollars' worth of pine,
just aa it stands in the woods, is cur in
Minnesota every year, and much of it is
shipped out ot the state. Already four
kinds of lumber from the Pacific coast
arc now found in most of our lumber
yards, competing with home products.
The modern demand for forest products
is novel and extensive. Ii; takes annually
S.OGO acres of spruce forest for pulp for
the paper for a certain daily newspaper
in New York.
"On an average, it takes a.bout eighty
years for the nine to grow to merchanta
ble size. There are millions of acres in
our state unfit for anything but growing
pine; on some of the land pine forest
is partly grown, and it seems to be the
general impression that :t would be good
economy for the state to gradually ac
quire possession of such land and pro
mote the growth of pine forest upon it.
"The leading- principle of scientific for
estry is that coniferous forest should oc
cupy only land that Is too sandy, too hilly
or too rocky for agriculture. When
young the forest should be crowded to
promite height, growth and yield long,
clear steins. A normal forest should be
treated as a permanent capital and no
more be. cut in a year than equals the
growth in the same period. In the 432,*00
acres of slate forest in Saxony, on non
agricultural land, the average growth Is
225 feet board measure per acre annually
or OT.UOO.COO feet in the whole forest; and'
that quantity can annually be cut with
out impairing the capital. There Is a for
estry movement In thin country. Shall
Minnesota be in the front or rear?"
Teachers at Asn-lcuUurnl School.
The teachers of the West Side Neigh
borhood house spent the day yesterday
at the state agricultural school," examin
ing the several departments there es
pecially the sewing and the cooking. The
teachers intend to make some radi
changes in their method of teaching at
the Neighborhood house, and some of the
methods employed at the college will be
Introduced. About twenty-five teachors
visited the college yesterday and had
luncheon there. Mrs. Jacob" Wirth su
perintendent of the school^ gave a brf-<f
talk at chapel, and Mrs. Henry Stein
road a paper, telling something' of tho
work done by the Neighborhood house.

The judges of the butter exhibits in the
Ryan annex put in another busy day
yesterday, and when they stopped for the
day, only about 150 tubs of the 823 enter
ed remained to be judged. When all have,
been examined, a sifting out process will
be begun, and only those having a score
higher than ninety-one will be gone ove>
again. On the next round the standard
will be raised still higher until the con

tubs in the exhibit. The ultimate winnsr
is exeptecd to score in the neighborhood
of niety-eight points, out of a possible
100. The qualities considered by the
judges are: flavor, grahi, color, salting
and package and packing. The most im

a possible forty-five points may be ob
tained. The tubs are all numbered, and
only the secretary knows the owner of
each individual package.
The judges expect to finish their work

An Old Fi<«li Knows Good Daft From
Poop.
A good old family -Doctor down In
Kdenburg, -Miss^ says he is not afraid
to tell the truCk about coffee and its
c-ffect on him and the remarkable
change produced by leaving off and tak
ing Tost am Food Coffee in its place.
He used coffee for many years, and
says, "Of late years I have been so
nervous that 1 dreaded to perform an
operation and my eyesight had bothered
me a considerable. I think about two
years ago I first heard of Postum Food
Coffee, and gave it a trial. I am not
quick to bite at humbugs, but the change*
in my physical condition brought about
by leaving oft" coffee and taking Pos
tum Food Coffee was a complete surprise.
] began to eat well, sleep well, and in
.Hist three months my eyesight was re
stored, my nerves strong, headaches dis
appeared, and my chronic catarrh of
thirteen years' standing was cured with
little or no treatment except the change
in coffee.
I am today stout, erect, and weigh 20
pounds more than I did before giving up
coffee. I have an extensive practice and
have had very satisfactory results among
my patients where I have Induced them
to leave off coffee and take Postum in
its pluce.
Coffee is ruining and destroying thous.
nnda of oar young Americans, and it is
a pleasure to know of a nutritious ani
palatable breakfast beverage that re
builds the nervous system rather than
tears it down, as the old coffee does.
It may interest you to know that we
had much the same experience as many
others, when we first began to prepare
Postum. We boiled it In a desultory
sort of way for a few minutes and the
product ■was not satisfactory. Turning;
to the directions we discovered the fault
and from that time we have followed
those directions which are simple enougn,
with the most satisfactory results Ui
point of llavor and fowl value.
With my best wishes for your contin
ued success." Dr. A. G. Alston.

MAN UNDER ARREST IN ST. LOUIS
IS WELL KNOWN
HERE
WAS CRAZED BY JEALOUSY
Set Fire to House In Wliieh Lived
Object of His Passion—\ulsiei
ons» ENeapailes in
St. Paul.
James Marosch, who formerly lived at
421 Superior street, in this city, is und?r
arrest in St. Louis, for setting fire to
the home of Afigelo De Sota, Wednesday
ni£bt. Pel.. 6, the deed having been actu
ated by Mareseh's insane jealousy of
a girl, Fanny Duffy, a servant in the
Cavendar family, who occupied apart
ments in the De Sota house.
For three years he had been madly in
love with the Duffy girl, and once be
fore attempted to kill her. Meeting h?r
on the street one day about two years
ago he became enraged because she re
buffed his advaifces and, whipping out
a revolver, fired five, shots at the terri
fied girl. Owing ,to his poor marksman
ship none of the) buMcts took effect an-I
he was immediately placed under arrest
and later sent to:;the St. Louis work
house for a tejm of t,ix months.
The incarceration yd id not dampen the
ardor of his afliections, and upon his
release he once more proceeded to make
life miserable for .the girl. According to
his story he proposed to Miss Duffy,
Tuesday night, Feb. 3, and she angered
him so by her that ho deter
mined to make ha^jsjificr. On the follow
ing night he went >to the house where
she was employed; and set the fire which
almost resulted in a number of inmates
losing their lives. Miss Duffy and Mr.
Cavender were badly, burned and the rest
escaped without injury. Suspicion point
ed to Maresch, who had threatened, and
he was placed under arres^. He now
confesses the crime and says he was
driven insane through his love for the
girl.
But love is not the only passion that
has crazed Maresch and excited him to
crime. In 1883 he was arrested and con
victed in this city on a charge of bur
glary. He broke into the home of T. C.
Jones, Ninth and St. Peter streets, ami
sold goods which he laler disposed o:"
at a Seventh street pawnshop. Both
Mr. Jones and the pawnbroker testihei
against him, and he was, sent to Stili
vater for two years.
At the expiration of his- term Ire r<-«
turned to St. Paul and sought out Mr.
Jones and the pawnbroker, determined
to avenge himself. - Both men, however,
had moved, a.nd Mareach was unanle to
taste the sweets of vengeance. But n
some maner he became convinced that
Thaddeus C. Jones, who lived at sf>s
Grand avenue, was the same Mr. Jones
whom ho had robbed, and one evening
proceeded to his house and, after ringing
the door bell, was confronted by Mr.
Jones. "Without hesitating to make any
inquiries, he leveled n revolver at Mr,
Jones' breast, and with all good inten
tions, pulled the trigger. The gun for.
tunately Jailed to go.off, but, undaunt
ed, he whipped out a knife and inflicts
a deep gash in his viJlim's left arm.
Ho was then frightened away.
Later Mareseh. was arrested and Iden
tified. When taker, to court he eluded
his guards and jumped through a win
dow. Amid the .consternation that fal
lowed, a reported li ft through the game
exit and kept dope on Mrnresoh's trail
until he was finally caught. He w:t?
again presented >yith a pass entitling hirr;
to a bunk in the penitentiary, but af
ter being therej a year was adjudged
insane and sent tor Rochester. Two years
later he was released from the asylum,
and he then went to Chicago, where he
was soon again 'convicted of crime ana
sent to ifride-welF I'6r/a year. At the ex
piration of his t^ml^c went to St. Lot:ia
and he fell in love with Fany Duffy.

The next meeting of the assembly,
which will be held next week, will prob
ably see the resignation ol" President
Dix, and the election of his successor.
Mr. Dix, on March 1, takes the oflice cf
cleik of the municipal court.
There is considerable speculation as to
who his successor will Be, and,'white
there arc any number of candidates, the
one who will be "it" is yet to be Timed.
Ex-Aid. Bell, by reason of his con
nection with the recent quo warranto
proceedings, is looked upon as the most
likely candidate. In pushing the pro
ceedings he did so at the behest of many
who thought that there might be a
possibility or getting- their old jobs back.
and his election to the assembly Would
be as a reward for his trouble. The
Lincoln club, of which he is a member, is
backing him. The probable president of
the assembly will be Maj. Denny, who is
now the vice president.
MAYOE WILL APPOINT GRODE.

With the near approach of March, anJ
the date calling for the retirement of
James E. Markham as corporation attor
ney, not a iittle interest is being mani
fested in the outcome of the controversy
now on among the Democratic members
of the common council in an effort to
name his successor.
The time-honored caucus, called on no
loss than three occasions, has failed of
results, as many members of the Demo
cratic majority refused to be bound by
the alliances they would necessarily en
tail, and in consequence the Republican
contingent, taking it for granted that the
deadlock is permanent, have been con
gratulaing themselves on the prospect, of
re-«lecting the present incumbent.
There is a rift in the clouds, however,
and the close of the month will proba
bly sm Mr. Markham's finish and his
retirement to private life on the date
named by the charter, March 12. In
stead of a caucus with its entangling al
liances, a conference of the Democratic
members has been proposed, allowing
each member to name his preference,
with the consequent discussion that can
not but result in the selection of a man
acceptable to all. The gentlemen who have
refused to be bound by a caucus, it is un
derstood, are favorable to a conference,
and one will be called as soon as Presi
dent Schiffmann arrives from the East,
which will probably be the latter part
of the month.
By the requirements of the charter an
election must be held on the second
Tuesday in March, otherwise the city will
be without a legal adviser. Oddly enough,
Mr. Markham cannot taJte the customary
manner of waiting until his successor
is elected, but must give way at once.

WORKING FOR THE SPOOLER
AMENDMENT
MEANS MUCH FOR VOLUNTEERS
AssTcple Amount That Will Be
Disbursed In Minnesota Alone
Will Approximate
$15,00-0. • ,
Former Adjutant General Lambert is
now busily engaged in backing up Sena
tor Spooner's amendment to the army
appropriation bill In congress, which con
templates giving to all the volunteers in
the army sums equal to those given to
the soldiers whose furloughs were broken
into. This amendment, if carried, will
mean a great deal for the former volun
teers of this and of other states.
Mr. Lambert lias written to Minnesev
ta's senators and representatives in con
gress and has been given assurances that
everything will be done that can be. Dur
ing the Indian outbreak at Leech Lake
about 400 members of the Twelfth and
Fourteenth regiments were recalled from
furloughs anel ordered back to duty, and
to all these extra compensation for such
service has been given. The bill under
discussion proposes to give the remaining
me-mbers of the two regiments each a
sum equal to that paid the men on fur
lough. Counting 1,300 men to a regi
ment and an average of $^0 per man, the
state will receive about $45,000. A first
sergeant will get $30, a second lieuten
ant $100, a first lieutenant $125 and pri
vates $15.50.
Mr. Lambert says that all regiments
mustered out prior to Jan. 12, 1899, in
other states, will come under the amend
ment. There will be about twenty-eight
states in all and the grand total to be
paid out to soldiers will be In the neigh
borhood of one and a quarter million.
Mr. Lambert has written to almost
every adjutant general In the United
States and almost everyone to a man
will back up the amendment as far as
lies in their power. Senator Spooner's
amendment is practically the same one
Mr. Lambert had introduced in congress
through Senator Davis of this state. The
amendment was butchered by the treas
ury department so only those who had
their furloughs broken into received any
money.

DR. FRIEDLAXDER BRINGS AC
TION FOR BIG DAM
AGES
WRONGFUL ARREST ALLEGED
Florence Sullivan and Officer Gar
vin Are Hie Defendants—
Was Not Mrs. ...
Nation. '-■
Judge Pond and a jury yesterday took
up the case of Dr. Samuel Friendlander
against Police Officer Fred M. Garvin
and Mrs. Florence Sullivan. The suit is'
brought for $5,060 damages for alleged
false imprisonment.
In his complaint the plaintiff alleges
that on the afternoon of July 6 last the
defendant, Garvin, encouraged and di
rected by the defendant, Florence Sulli
van, drugged him from his office in the
block at the corner of Third street and
Nicollet avenue, and, in the presence of
a large crowd of pedestrians, caused him
to be removed to the police station,
where he was wrongfully locked up on
the chargti of disorderly conduct.
Replying to the complaint, Mrs. Sulli-
Van alleges that the plaintiff is an ex
citable person, possessing an uncontrol
lable temper, and that he is vindictive
and revengeful to a high degree. She
also alleges that he attempted to use a
revolver upon other persons prior to the
day of his arrest; that they had quar
reled previously, and that he had men
aced her with a lance.
WAS XOT MRS. NATION.
Police Lieutenant Thought- He Had
Famous Smasher Cornered.
When Lieut. Henry Krumweide passed
a saloon on Washington avenue north,
between First and Second avenues last
! evening, he happened ■to look in, and
; immediately became possessed with the
| idea that Mrs. Nation was in town. A
\ woman stood before the bar, and the
j officer was expecting a. crash. But if
, this was' his hope he was disappointed,
I as a loud feminine laugh reverberated
i through the room, following by:
"Ho, boys; here's looking at you."
The.officer then.stepped on the inside,
and found that a party of ten men and
women was having a very sociable time.
As spectacles of this kind are something
that the present administration has de
cided to put an end to, the party was
i locked up and charged with being dis
orderly.

Morgue Keeper Lovejoy is wondering
when he is going to commence to earn
his salary. It was two weeks ago yes
terday since he was elected to the posi
tion by the county commissioners,- and
although fourteen days have passed, he
has not done a stroke of business. Dur
ing the present month there has been a
dearth of accidents of any kind. Xs'ot
only have there beeen no fatalities that
call for the use of the morgue wagon,
but very few minor accidents have oc
curred. The city hospital people say
that they can not reme; .i,«-r the time
when so few visitations have been paid
the institution by the patrol wagon,
which ordinarily brings accident cases
there.
The police say that the thing is too
good to last, and that some big sensa
tion is brewing.
They Had Too Good a Time.
William Moore and Fred Hopwood
started out for a real jolly time la.:-st
night, and commenced by abusing John
Chapman, a newsboy. The lad says that I
the two slapped him and tore up his fca- i
pers. After having satisfied tftemseJ
that there was no more amusement to be !
derived from this source, they went down j
to XO7 First street south and proceeded |
to kick in a show case. The result was
that Hopwood had his foot cut, and I
left a trail of blood leading from the i
store to his room, at Nicollet avenue
and Third street. Young Chapman was
out for revenge, and hud followed the
two to the candy store. When he learn- i
e<l that the show case was smashed he i
started on a little detective work of his 1
own. He discovered the bloody foot j
prints, and followed them to Hop wood's !
room. He then summoned a couple of j
police officers, and the two were arrest
ed and looked up on a charge of disor
derly conduct.
MORE CHICAGO FIRES.
HOTEX, MAJESTIC ABLAZE IX FOtlt
DIFFERENT PLACES.
CHICAGO, Feb. . 15.-Four small fires,
all of which are believed to have been of
incendiary origin, were discovered today
at different times on as many different
floors of the Hotel Majestic, which ad-
Joins the Great Northern-hotel on Quincy
street, between Dearborn and State
streets, which is under process of reno
vation.
Following the evident attempts at in
cendiarism last night hi three prominent
hoslelries today's fires created consid
erable excitement, and resulted In the
police and detective forces around the
big hotels to be trebleed.
Police officials believe organ izcd at

swollen.
Dr. Stone was not permitted to testify
as to Hamilton's mental condition "eigh
teen hours after the tragedy."
"The marks on Hamilton could have
been made and probably were made/ said
the witness, "by one instrument, a cane
or stick or something of the sort."
Mr. Nye then asked "as to the defend
ant's mental condition resulting from the
blows you have described?"
"Objected to," said Mr. Boardman.
The objection was sustained, the court
confining the witness' answers to Hamil
ton's physical condition."
EVANS AND HIS TROUSERS.
Ray L. Evans was recalled by the de
fense. After a wrangle he was permitted
to testify.
Mr. Nye asked the witness If he sent a
pair of pants to be cleaned, containing a
bloody handkerchief.
"I don't know whether I sent any pants
there or not. If so, they were not the
ones I had on at the West hotel."
"You sent a pair?"
"I don't know."
"Did you send a pair of pants there
with a cut In one of the legs?"
"No, sir, not the one's I had on that
night. I had a bloody handkerchief after
that evening. It might have been taken '
to the establishment, yes, sir. But I
don't think any of my clothes went that
Monday."
On cross-examination witness said he
now had on the same suit of clothes he
wore at the West hotel. There had never
been a cut. in them. The blood on the
handkerchief came from the abrasion on
his head when Force pushed him down
hard in the chair that niKht.
On redirect examination witness sail
he would swear that he did not have a
pair of pants sent out with blood or cuts
on them. .
During the afternoon session a num
ber of witnesses were examined, but noth
ing material was brought out. Will
Chandler, the barkeeper at the W
testified that he wag around the hotel
from the time the tragedy occurred nntrl
7:30 a. m., and that he did not hear Ham
ilton make a statement of any kind.
Thomas Hastings testified that he fcad
been with Day all the evening, and that '
the latter was not In the least intox
icated.
It was expected that Ryan, the Defl
Moines plumber, who claimed to have
been in the room when the fight occurred,
would be placed on the stand during- the
day, but he was not called.
At 3 o'clock the defense rested anl
court adjourned until 2 p. m. today.
