ALD. EDWARD L. MURPHY PRE
FERS IT FOR PAVING
PURPOSES
DOES NOT COMMIT HIMSELF
:.Ir. Mnrphy Returns After Two
Month* 1 Absence—His Arrival
rally Excites Interest
in Council Affair*.
. Aid. Edward L. Murphy returned yes
terday noon after a two. months' ab
sence fiom St. Paul. He has teen at
lot Springs and Kansas City and ap
pears greatly benefited by the visit.
As Mr. Murpihy was prominent in the
'ight for the passage of the council reso
lution imposing certain guarantee pro
visions on all contractors who do city
laving, his return naturally excites some !
oommm't in view of the fact that a
stormy session is expected when the j
'ocard of aldermen meets next Tuesday.
Mr. Murphy, however, in view of his j
lengthy absence from the city, and the j
act that he has net been in touch with
he situation, refused to talk yesterday
■vfrien roach) except to say that he
relieved asphalt to be the only paving <f
.1 can be secured cheap enough.
In Kansas City, Mr. Murphy says, I
• roptrty owners secured what little brick
aving they have down for $1.30 a square
.ard, against 12 paid in St. Paul. This,
however, must be considered in connec
tion with the fact that Kansas City is in
close proximity to the in 'brick factories.
In Kansas City, he says, asphalt Is tho
favorite paving, miles of it having been |
laid. There it costs about $2.33 a square
yard. It is cone* to be in every par
ticular a better material than brick.
While claiming to be unable to talk in
telligently as to what his position will be
n the paving tight now on, his intimation
s sufficient to show that he will stand
-v the proposition to throw out all bids
m.l orders and read vert with asphalt
as the material.
He says now is the time to benefit from
the paving war, as St. Paul has b en
too long in the power of the brick trust
to do otherwise. Mr. Murpihy is par
ticularly vehement in his denunciation of
the brick men, who, he claims, are re
sponsible for the high prices that have
prevailed for years.
APPEALS TO M'KINLEY
RAPHAEL ORTIZ, PORTO RICAH,
SAID TO BE INSANE.
Judge Willis, attorney for Raphael
Ortiz, the Porto Rican, who was court
martialed in his native island for the
murder of an American soldier, and who
is serving out a life sentence In the Sti'l- j
water penitentiary, has forwarded papers !
looking toward a pardon to President Mc-
Kinley.
The prison officials state that Ortiz has
developed acute nostalgia, • and fears are
entertained that he will become Insane if
ho tjs lined much longer in prison.
\\\/.len Wolfer has signed a certificate
to this effect, and if a full pardon can
not be granted, it is hoped that he may
be a-Mowed to return home.
STEEL REMAINS STABLE
LOCAL DEALERS SAY EFFECT OF
STRIKE IS NOT FELT.
While rumors are abroad to the effect
that the steel companies yesterday pre
pared to advance the products of their
mills from $5 to $6 a ton, and sent no- j
tice to this effect to their agents
throughout the country, no word has been '
received by the agents in St. Paul.
H. J. McManus, representing the ]
American Steel and Wire company, with
Offices in the Endicott building, said last
night that if his company had any such
intention they had failed to notify him.

THE BIG STORE,
Bit ndvrar and Seventh, St. Pnnl.
Is being troubled by the strike amonr
Its employes, some of the mills now be
ing closed down, but he does not antic
ipate a very heavy advance In material
because of this fact. The fact that
American Steel advanced two points on
the stock market yesterday,' Mr.. Mc-
Manus says, lg an indication that the
company is not meeting with any ma
terial losses by reason of the strike.
The rumored Increase refers to ■ sheet
steel, a commodity that the trust almost
wholly controls. Heavy steel is manu
factured by a number of independent
concerns, and now sells at a figure that
will see little advance, this year at
least. -
OBJECT TO* MACADAM
PROPERTY OWNERS PROTEST
A/jrAINOT SOUTH ROBERT STREET
IMPROVEMENT., i ......
For some time an effort has been made I
to have South Robert street, from the
Groat Western bridge to Concord street,
macadamized, but the property owne:s
at a urine yesterday before the board
of public works practically killed it by
protesting against the improvement. The
street is full of holes, and. has been a
soiree of considerable complaint to the
city officials. - ~"
George B. Young, E. H. Cutler and
George Thompson yesterday made an ef
fort to secure favorable consideration
for the macadamizing of Irvine avenue,
a small thoroughfare in the rear of Sum
mit avenue, but a ■ lively protest was re
ceived from a number of property owneis,
who contended that the street is nothing
more than an alley. The parties favoring
the improvement have their stables front
ing on the street and claim that it is
impassable for carriages.
The board at its meeting made a fa
vorable report on a sewer proposed for
Whitall, from Burns to Burr to- Brad
ley, cost $620 or $1.20 per foot; a sewer on
Cypress, fiom Hastings to McLain, cost ;
$1,100 or $1.14 per foot, and a sewer on !
Van ■ Buren, cost $2,864 or $1.15 per front
foot. ■■' .. . . •
The board took under consideration the
proposed paving with brick of the alley
in the rear of the Minnesota club build
ing. The estimated cost is $400.

EXODUS TO HARVEST FIELDS AF
FECTS LOCAL MARKET. ' r";
"The exodus of laborers to the harvest
fields and the consequent scarcity of
men in St. Paul is noticeable in the
bids received by the city officials for
street and improvement work.
In preparing specifications for all street
work an estimate of the probable cost is
always furnished by City Engineer Claus-
Ben, sufficient margin generally being
given for any slight raise in material or
labor, but of late his estimates have been
considerably below the actual prices de
manded by the contractors. For the
grading of an alley in the rear of the
Model Steam Laundry, John and Locust
streets, he estimated the cost of the work
at $100. Yesterday bids were opened and
the lowest was $246. This Is the second
time bids have been advertised for this
work, and in each case they were almost
double the estimate.
A similar state of affairs was shown
in bids opened for a sewer on Park ave
nue, from Viola to Como avenue. The
engineer's estimate was $543, but the
lowest bid received was $%9, from J. M.
Thornton. The highest bid was $1,349.

A.TORY MEET FOR THE
" : T-': f; LAST TIME
GOES OUT OF EXISTENCE AUG. 1
Half a Dozen Prisoners Were Re
; v-j; leased as the Last Official
Act of the Old
Board.
• A meeting was held at the Merchants
hotel, last night, of the board of man
agers of the St. Cloud reformatory, for
the purpose of auditing a number of bills ■
and disposing of several minor matters.
The meeting was an important one,
from the fact that it will probably be
the last one held before the board goes
out of existence on Aug. 1, when its func
tions will be absorbed by the board of
control.
It is the second . meeting held this
month, and in addition to the routine
work, the board ordered the release of
six.inmates of the reformatory on parole
and two of the prisoners were given
their final discharge from the institu
tion.
Of the old reformatory board there
were present last night: Robert Saun
ders, of Pine City; D. H. Evans, Tracy;
Rev. J. G. Hultkrans. Minneapolis;
George R. O'Reilly, St. Paul. Frank L.
Randall, superintendent of the reforma
tory, was also in attendance, and render
ed the managers invaluable assistance
in winding up the affairs of the board.
In addition to the above there were
present Wm. E. Lee, of Long Prairie,'
and O. B. Gould, of Winona, both of
whom are members of the new state
board of control. The latter did not
participate in the meeting, but were
present out of courtesy and for the
purpose of familiarizing themselves with
matters connected with the reformatory.

GOAL BIDS ARE HIGH
BOARD OF CONTROL, THINKS COAL.
TRUST IS INTACT.
In response to its recently issued invi
tations for coal bids, the 'board of con
trol has received a quantity of prop:sa's
with rices, terms and grades so en
tangled t/hat no intelligent comparison of
them can be made until they i»ave been
carefully tabulated, and the work will
consume considerable time. On their
faces, however, the bids plainly indicate
that the coal combine has by no means
been disorganized.
The 'board in inviting "bids stated that
all communications of that character
would be regarded as confidential and
the successful bidders notified privately
if so desired, and it was hoped that by
that means independent proposals would'
be received. Such was not the case,
however, as the board is now convinced,
for the similarity in the prices of certain
grades is so uniform as to indicate that
the bids were all fixed.
NEW INTERURBAN LINE
SAMUEL HILL MAY 111 II.!) ONE
WITH FIVE-CENT FARE.
Samuel Hill, of Minneapolis, is contem
plating building a new internrban line,
and, according to a statement made by
him yesterday, the fare between the two
cities will not exceed 5 cents. He says
that if the right of way can be.secured
from the two cities, he will build a line
which will start at the West hotel In
Minneapolis, run down Fifth street to
Riverside, thence to Franklin avenue
across the bridge. It will enter St. Paul
via St. Anthony avenue, through Merriam
Park, Martin street, St. Peter p.r.cl
through the business center of the city.
; Mr. Hull, in his statement, said that he
did not think there would be any diffi
culty in securing the necessary franchise,
and thought that the councils of both
cities would interpose no objections, as
the people could not but be in favor of
such a line.
As to some natural obstacles which
have to be overcome, Mr. Hill made no
statement. :•>;;*.

OF A CONFIDENCE MAN.
There was much indignation among
police officials yesterday over the dis
charge in police court of Samuel Malloy.
alias "Yellow Legs." who was arrested
by Sergeant Murnane Monday night on a
charge of vagrancy. When arrested he
was found trying to work a bunco game
on a stranger. Malloy is notorious as a
confidence man and the police were par
ticularly anxious? that he should be
thrown into the workhouse for a term of
thirty days, this being the only effectual
way of keeping' the: undesirable element
clear of the city. ;
Judge Orr decided that as the man had
money and had only been in the city for
a short time he could not be sen
tenced for vagrancy, and therefore Mal
loy was dismissed. '.; .

SANG OF THE SEASONS.
l'ouug People of Hebron Baptist
Church Give Entertainment.
"Carnival cf the Months and Seasons"
was the attractive and withal appropriate
appellation given to a highly pleasing
entertainment which was' presented be
fore a large audience at Martin's hall, on
South Wabasha street, last evening. The
affair was conducted by the Christian
Endeavor Society of the Hebron Baptist
Church, and the: participants were large
ly chosen from the membership of That
organization, although the nature of the
entertainment also:; required the assist
ance of a number of children.
The programme was under the direc
tion of Miss Minanßcwe, and consisted
pi Incipally of tableaux, typifying the
months and seasons, diversified by Fue
timely introduction of vooal solos, cho
ruses in costume, and instrumental mu
sic by Morgan's West Side orchestra.
After an overture by the orchestra, Mr.
John Jaeger sang \ a solo with pleasing
effect, and Miss Georgie Boerlnger re
cited. Ait appropriate intervals were in
troduced a May day drill and the "Sun

pleasing features of the entertainment.
Refreshments were served without extra

BRICK MEN AFRAID OF GUARAN
TEE PAVING CLAUSE.
Yesterday was the date for opening
bids for -the paving of an alley norm
of Summit avenue, between Dale and
Kent streets, but the call j made by the
board of public works received no re
sponse. The material to be used was
brick and the cost, as estimated, by the
engineer, $2,100. The specification called
for a ten-year guarantee and a bond, in
the , sum of 35 per cent of the contract
price, the first since the paving contro
versy came up.
The small job did not attract much
attrition, but the rumor was abroad that
the principal cause was an effort on the
part of the brick men to ignore any con
tract that contained anything smattering
of tire council guarantee, resolution.
L. E. Shepley, who was present at the
meeting of the board, offered as an ex
cuse that he had all the work he could

. CHANCES 1 FOR AUGUST.
"Weather Bureau's Statement Based
on Thirty Years' Data.
The weather bureau has issued a state
ment containing data on the month of
August, based on the weatner conditions
for the last thirty years. It appears from
this that the average temperature for
all these years has been GO degrees, some- ■
thing that the people of St. Paul will not
regret to learn. Last year was the hot
test August on record, and in that montn
the average temperature was 77.
Back in 1596 a record of 100 degrees was
established on the fourth day of the
month, and this stood as the hottest on
record until the commencement of the
present hot spell. It is comforting to
learn that just ten years ago there was
one day in the month when the mercury
went as low as 40 degrees, and no one
in this city will be sorry if next month
sees a repitition of the performance on
the part of the official thermometer.

their duty well at the famous battle. Th
histories used in the city schools are
those of Charming and McMaster, and in
the former the names of the two are
coupled throughout and .equal credit is
given both. McMaster's book does not

PRIZE HOT JUR STORY
NINE CHICKS ARE HATCHED BY
THE BURKING
SUN
Minneapolis Captures the Prize
When It Comes to Freak
Weather Perform
ances.
Out on the banks of Lake Minnetonka
are nine little chicks, living" examples of
the possibilities of the tropical climate
of the Northwest. These, chicks were
hatched out toy the sun in Minneapolis
Wednesday. They were contained in
eggs shipped to the Cold Storage com
pany by a Fairfax, Minn., customer. F.
C. McMulleri, vice president of the com
pany, has the chicks in his charge and
iis willing to testify to their peculiar ad
vent into the world.
This story of hot weather may well be
regarded as the prize "hot air" yarn of
the season. From Sioux City, rom Wl
nona, Omaha and other places came. the
report that feats similar to this one had
been wrought as the result of the ex
tremely hot weather and even St. Paul
shied his castor in the ring and came
out with a bona fide tale of frying eggs
(by the sun. A piece of bread was but
tered and used as a skillet; it was placed
on the sidewalk and an egg broken and
laid on the bread. The result was that
in a very few minutes the egg was fried
"done." But the Minneapolis affair is
entitled to the prize.
Mr. McMullen says that the chicks were
hatched when the shipment reached his
store. The case was one near the bot
tom of a big pile and had been unloaded
from a refrigerator car. Scarcely had
the freight been unloaded than were
heard the little "Peep, peep" of the chicks
■and nine motherless little fellows were
found.
But for the fact that Mr. McMullcn
backs up his statement with undeniable
proof, there might be some room for
doubting a story that eggs just taken
from a refrigerator car contained live
chickens. There is another very strik
ing element to the story. Were the
eggs shipped by the honest o'.d farmer for |
"fresh." Mr. McMullen is charitable
eonugh to think that if they were it was
without knowing the exact facts concern
ing the egg 3. He thinks the eggs were
picked up in some off corn.r and sent in
without knowing that they "were well ma
tured.
. The chicks are of a good breed, and if
the shipper will inform Mr. McMullen of
his identity he says he will send them
■back, providing the freight is paid.

NEARLY ALL DO« LICENSES ARE
OF $1 VARIETY.
Up to yesterday dog licenses to the
number of 1,043 had been taken out. Of
this number only forty-three were cred
ited to canines of the female gender.
The latter figure is creating 1 a suspicion
in the minds of the officials that own
ers are securing male tags and attaching
them to animals of the opposite sex, arid'
it is probable that an investigation will
be made. As a male license costs |l,
against $3 for a female, the temptation
to make a false entry is considerable.
