the CITY COUNCIL.
Another Gene Over Judge James
RESIGNATION.
The Democratic Council Fear to In
spcCt the Court House

A special meeting of the city council
was held last evening.
John Stewart was given contract for
filling Sixth avenue at 20 cents.
An ordinance was presented and re.
ferredlgiving the telephone company per-
mission to erect poles in the streets, the
company working heretofore under a
resolution.
A petition was presented in which
Mrs. Key sought permission to put q
frame addition to the Herdic barn, and
agreeing, if the request was granted, to
take city warrant at face in settlement
of the $3.50 damages awarded for change
of the grade on Broadway. Referred.
The petition of property owners for
paving the alley north of Broadway, be-
tween Main and Bryants, was reported
ON favarably and referred to another
committee.
j. and o. p. Wickham were granted q
months extension of time on their con.
tract for curbing.
Major McCaulley was given extension
of time on sewerage contract to Decem-
ber l.
Aid. Siedentopf offered resolution
that the council do board of health in
spect the courthouse, with view of
condemning 1t, if it proved to be unsafe.
There was some hurried whispering, the
purport of which seemed to be that in
view of the coming election, and the well
known opposition of the east end of the
county to building new courthouse, it
would BIS wise not to take any steps to
force new building, and the resolution
was dropped like hot potato.
Notice was given of an Injunction suit
commenced by Mace Wise in regard to
the new sewer back of the Pacific hotel.
Aid. Siedentopf also offered a resolu-
ton accepting the resignation of Aid.
James, and that the mayor should call a
new election.
Aid. Heating said he was authorized by
Judge James to say that if the committee
would withdraw itsreport charging James
with insulting the council he would with
draw his resignation-wipe all the old
scores out and start in new.
Aid. Siedentopf objected. He want
ed Judge James first to take back what
he had said about the council.
Aid. Mynster said that if James
would say he did not mean his resigna-
ton as an insult, he would favor with
drawing the report.
Aid. Siedentopf was prevailed on to
withdraw the resolution, in the hope that
some reconciliation would be reached be.
fore the next meeting. He said: 81
shall present it again at the next meeting,
and if some action Is not taken then, l
shall make grand kick"

ONLY A BUGABOO.
Disease Does Not Lurk in Rags I'm
ported From Europe.

| From the Boston Flobe.
A party of rag merchants and paper
manufacturers were collected In an Office
on Federal street, discussing the embargo
| on rags.
81 think the cry of disease in imported
rags is only cry, and nothing more. "
said one. 81 believe that the scare has
but little fact upon which to rest. l
have been in the rag business in Boston
FOR forty years, and in that perion | have
not known of a single instance where
disease has been contracted by infected
rags"
"How has the embargo affected the
price of rags?" inquired one.
at has caused an average rise in prices
Of 80 per cent" was the reply. "Some
kinds have been affected as high as 80
per cent. The embargo was issued by
Acting Secretary of the Treasury Coon,
September /, and has resulted in 80
much loss to the rag dealers and paper
makers in this country, that strong eff
fort is now being made to have the re-
striction removed"
''To what extent arc rags i'm
ported2"
"The capital invested in the business
is enormous. Rags are imported from
all parts of the civilized world. Some
firms import most largely from London,
Liverpool and Glasgow. Others do the
greater part of their business with
French and Italian poats, while large
portion of our imported rags come from
China"
"Do we export rags to any extent|
'No, not to any noteworthy extent.
Occasionally small shipments of wooden
rags are made, but this happens very Hel-
DOM"
"How does the embargo affect the pa
per business"
"It has resulted in serious detriment,
and several meetings of paper manufac-
turers have already been held to devise
ways and means to have it lifted. The
manufacturers of book paper have dis
cussed this matter in convention. Pre-
vious to the year 1860 the price of book
paper was IA to IL cents per pound, and
news paper 10 cents per pound. At the
present day book paper is 7 to 8 cents
per pound and news paper to q cents.
But il is evident that if the embargo con-
tinues rags must advance from 90 to 200
per cent, with corresponding Increase
in tho price Of paper"
"Is there good supply Of rags on hand
Just now"
"No The supply is so limited that in
another month the 900 or 600 mills,
which use 2, 800 to 5000 tons each day,
will have ground up every rag in their
possession
"What is your opinion regarding Act
ing Secretary Coon's sctionl'

| have conyersed claim that tho embargo
is entirely unnecessary There is an idea
among the public that the embargo will
end December /, but that is a mistake,

Horace Greeley anu Gen. Scott.


One of the many interesting anecdotes
told by Gen. e. D. Keyes in his FIFTY
Years Observation of Men and Events, 4"
just published by Charles Scrbsr's Sons,
is the following, concerning Horace
Greeley and Gen. Scott: 81 remember
that in the first canvass of Gen. Scott for
the presidency, Horace Greeley came to
me in the cars one day, and asked me to
explain Wilkins charge against Scott for
uaing his soldiers money. l was not
then able to detail all the facts, but /
told Mr.. Greeley that the charge was
slanderous, and that arose from trans.
action usual in the army, and which was
the result of forgotfulness or slight error
in accounts. | had never before seen
Mr.. Greeley. who was then beginning to
attract notice as the editor of the New
York Tribune. At that time he was
about 30 years old, ound.faced and
healthful, with blue eyes and very light
hair. The restless eagerneas of his in
terrogations denoted the character he
afterward established, which enabled him
to change his convictions or ruling texts
and hobbies as suddenly as bird in n
cage hops from one perch to another.
Mr.. Greeley was a man of good inten.
tions, bur he made the great mistake of
killing himself with overwork, In order
to leave the world better than he found
it, and to be president.

During the siege of Paris hippoghagy
was matter of necessity. Since 1871
the consumption of horse-hesh has gone
on steadily increasing. In 1874 the
NUN Der of horses slaughtered for food in
Paris was 1852. Ten years later the
consumption had more than doubled.
In 1883 Paris ate ., ,485 horses, 307 asses
and forty mules, or not short of 10000
pounds weight of horse, ass and mule
meat. The explanation of this increase
Is the high price of beef and mutton in
the French capital. While the artisan
can purchase horse steak at less than
12 cents pound, he has to pay three
times as much for cut of beef or NUT
ton. Among the hippophargists of Paris
the flesh Of the ass and the mule is es-
taemed even more highly than that of the
horse, those delicacies fetching price 10
to 20 per cent higher than simple horse
flesh.

POINTS FOR ROMEO.
Gratuitous Advice TO the Grass Valley
Amateur Dramatic Association.

They've started an amateur dramatic
association up at Grass Valley, and the
heavy tragedian writes to the dramatic
editor of The San Francisco Post that
they are preparing to perpetrate Gro
meo and Juliet" in few weeks, and
wanted to know whether there is any
new "business" in the part of Shakes
peare's immortal lover we can put him
up to. OF course there is. There is no
branch of the ats in which realistic"
improvements are carried to greater
lengths than in acting.
In the first place, in setting the balco-
ny scene our correspondent will find it
ever 80 much more effective to substitute
an ordinary back yard board fence for the
old-fashioned inconvenient wall. This is
not only easier to climb over, but the au-
dience can be raised to realistic bitch
of expectation by hearing Romeo feel
along the other side for knot-hole to
serve as good toe.hold. Everything
depends on these little details. A few
clothes. lines stretched from the house to
the fence filled with Juliets striped
stockings and and things, would add
immeasurably to the naturalness of the
scene. But probably tie most effective
innovation would be-we think it is
Henry Irving's idea-the introduction of
pile of mortar and lot of bricks, while
hole in the kitchen wall would COM
plete the suggestion that the Capulet
range boiler was being repaired by the
plumbers, as is the case all the year round
in most families.
The reason for this obvious introduc-
ton of the bricks becomes apparent later
on. In the course of the scene Romeo's
love avowals become much interfered
with by the bowling of adjacent cats
something. we must bear IN mind, that
would infallibly be the case in real life.
The scene shifter could add to this effect
by standing behind said practicable fence
and elevating an India rubber cat into the
scenery at judicious intervals. This cat
should be constructed with movable glass
eyes, which should be illuminated some.
how by an internal taper. Our CORE
spondent can easily imagine the effect
produced on the audience by Romeo
slamming practicable brick at Thomas
every time he stopped for breath.
When all the tricks and Romeo are
exhausted, Juliet could bring down the
house by tossing to her lover pap8
Capulet's bootia and if Romeo could
manage to bih the feline right between
the eyes with it as the curtain wen
down he could make hit. OF course
all this new business requires n grea
deal of careful rehearsing, and perhap!
the pitcher of the Grass Valley nine
would do the role the greatest justice.
This will do for the present; but we have
also novel improvement that our cor
respondent might introduce into the
"apothecary" scene, and which would
not only help tho organization in ques
ton to turn an honest penny, but would
materially aid in calling public attention
to really meritorious patent medicine.

The Treasury department will not assume
the responsibility of raising it at all, but
will Contlnne the embargo until tho
opening of the new year in order to shift
the responsibility from the executive
branch of the government to the lcgisla.
tive. When the question gets into Con-
gress il will probably be delayed six
months, and then when they do finally
take it up we shall probably be in tho
middle of the hot weather, so that they
may consider it unwise to remove the
embargo for six months longer. Such is
the prospect,
A leading paper manufacturer said that
"every grade of paper must advance in
price. At meeting held in Boston on
the 9th inst the writing paper manufac.
turers agreed to advance prices cents
per pound. The amount of raw material
on hand among manufacturers of paper is
not enough to supply the demand until
December /. The increase in the price
of rag paper will, think, divert the
chemically prepared wood pulp to writing
paper. The present situation has been
fully grasped by few leading paper
manufacturers, who have secured all
foreign stock, spot and what is on the
water"
Another man thought that there was
possibility of the germs of disease being
carried in rags. "Whilo the medical pro-
fession is in doubt as to whether the
microbe is the cause or tho result of
cholera, the prohibition of importing rags
from infected districts is wise one" was
his opinion. "There may not be microbes
in Indian or Egyptian rags, but still there
may be cholera, and, for my part, think
that no foreign rags should be allowed to
be brought to this country 30 long as
there is cholera abroad. Perhaps, were
it not for the embargo, we would now be
suffering from the cholera ourselves"

Can n Man Sell His Head?

Medical and Surgical Reporter.
One of the questions which an English
man recently left his heirs to quarrel
over was the right to his head. The de-
ceased had sold it to tho local physician
in consideration of his paying the funeral
expenses, and when tho time came for
the delivery to be made he called for it,
but the heirs, who said they were per.
fectly willing to pay the funeral expens-
es themselves, demurrred and refused to
carry out the agreement. The aid of the
courts was then invoked and at last ac-
counts the matter was not decided. In
the meantime the value of the head for
purposes of dissection, it that is what the
physician wanted it for, is rapidly dimin
shing, and soon will be of no account
whatever. The English courts have at
various times held that there could be no
property in the ordinary sense in which
the term is used, in dead body, and the
interesting question now comes upwheth,
er the ownership, such as it is, is vested
in tho person himself or in his represent
atiyes.

President Harris Interviewed.

Mr.. Robert Harris, the new Presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific railroad,
who is now in the west thoroughly in
speeding that road in detail, was in st.
Paul a few days ago, and while there
was interviewed by a Pioneer Press
reporter about things in general relat-
ing to the plans of the company he
represents. Railroad men are as Il
rule pretty charry of what they tell
reporters CT any outside party, and
Mr.. Harris is no exception to the
rule. He says what it is safe to say
and then leaves each reader or hear
er to draw his own conclusions. In
the course of their conversation, al
fusion was made to the work and gen
eral operations at the head Of the lake,
and this part Of his talk is all of the
conversation that is of any particular
interest to the readers of the TINES
and this much of the interview we
transfer to our columns as follows:
ain relation to the combined work
of the different roads at Duluth, Mr..
Harris said it was not matter for
surprise, it was simply question of
business economy, and the Northern
Pacific company was seeking the best
and easiest way Of reaching Lake Su-
perior 1t is their intention to bridge
the St. Louis river, enter Superior
City and South Duluth by much
easier grade than would be possible
by any other route.
He was asked if by this arrange
ment, Superior City would thus be
made the real terminus of the road.
Mr.. Harris replied that the terminus
would be where it could be reached the
easiest. If it was found more practi-
cal to make it Superior City, it would
be done, but if Duluth was the more
available it would be Duluth. He
said the company was not resposiblc
for the natural advantages of the two
places. 1t was simply taking things
as it found them to exist. To illus
trate the Lake Park hotel was un-
doubtedly rival Of the hotel Lafav-
cite, but that was matter which did
not interest the public. SO in the
case at Lake Superior, the interest Of
the public would not suffer in the mat
ter Of details He thought it was the
intention Of the Manitoba to enter Su-
perior City, or perhaps Duluth, and
there would be mutual terminal ar
engagements between all roads entering
there. The Omaha was already es-
tablished at Superior City, but he
could not, of course, say what the
Manitoba would do"
With this statement, coming from
Mr.. Harris, Superior has nothing to
fear. If he will personally visit the
head Of the lake it will not take him
long to decide where his road can the
more easily reach lake Superior.
