To the Editor of the Globe:
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 19.-I see from an
article in your issue of this date that w. C.
Rice is just as well acquainted with the law
that he is sworn to execute as his assistant,
Mr., Howard.
These gentlemen don't seem to understand
the situation.
Mr. Rice states in his communication to
you that 1.-The law had been declared un-
constitutional by the New York court of
appeals, consisting of five judges, two of
whom were opposed to such declaration.
At this time this law has been declared con-
stitutional by the supreme courts of Penn
syivania and Missouri, thus making two
states in favor and one against the law"
Let US see if this is so. In the first place,
the case of People vs.. Marx came up in the
court of general sessions OF the city of New
York, which is court like our municipal
court. The defendant was convicted and
took an appeal to the supreme court land
this is the court where he gets his five
judges) which is about the same as our dis
trict court. The decision of the court of
general sessions was affirmed 1.-TWO judges
dissenttng), and here is where he gets his
two judges. Three judges of that court
for and two against the constitutionaity of
the law. An appeal was taken to the New
York court of appeals. consisting of seven
Judges. the highest tribunal of the state,
whose decisi ons are followed all over this
land, and tn ey decided this law unconstitu-
tional.
The decision of the supreme court of Mis-
souri, on this law was not on the point
raised in the Peet case, but on altogether
different grounds. Had the same grounds
been taken, the supreme court of Missouri
would have cast dark shadow over the law
on which their fondest hopes and faith are
founded.
The Pennsylvania decision was rendered,
first of all, by single judge. Simenton. and
not by the supreme court of that state, as
an appeal is now pending in that court. He
had no star to guide him. and he wandered

HUSTLING FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
The Broadway of Minneapolis is a
Treasure OF Christmas Trade.

Nicollet avenue presented sight yester-
day afternoon not often seen, even in Min
neapols, and here only once year. The
distinctively the hurry-and- hustle property
of large city. The day was pleas
ant one for December, and savored
more of September, the ladies particularly
and Christmas purchasers generally taking
advantage of the balmy weather to flock
out and do their shopping. From Bridge
square to Tenth street the sidewalks were
a perfect crush, and progress at any time
quite difficult. The broad walks were en-
tirely insufficient for the throng and the
jam and hustle and elbOWing were exciting
and eXhilarating. The street was no
better. Every private team in the city had
an Grand on Nicollet. and dress parade
could not have summond more of them.
No better idea could have been obtained
by stranger of the number and character
of the fashionable and stylish carriages and
blOoded high-steppers of Minneapolis
than by an excursion up and down the
avenue, even if he did have to contest every
inch of the way. In front Of the popular
houses the carriages were packed in like
steamboats, at New Orleans. and laid
in two and three deep on
both sides, and broad as more

muddy the prismatic display was materially
added. Handsome stockings, plumply

The stores were crowded to repletion, and

in Minneapolis is all that could be desired.

hopelessly through the dark and came to
the conclusion that if the Legislators Of that
great state had passed such law, it must
be constitutional.
The gentleman has not seen or heard Of
the discussion of the supreme court Of Mich

stiJutional, rendered Nov. 5, 1885; he does
not figure that in his collections of judges

our claim on the number of judges against
it, as he does for it, we should have the
seven of the New York court of appeals.

court of that state, four of the supreme
court of Michigan. and last but not least
that of our own judge Koon.

THAT $4,000 ROYALTY.
The Bone of Contention in the Water
CDMni SSiOn.

COMMISSION.
At yesterdays meeting of the water board
the contract with Shieckle, Harrison &
Howard of St. Louis for furnishing the
pipe for the next year was taken up. read
and amended, and approved as so amended,
and the proper officers were authorized to
execute the same. The contract with K. D.
Wood & Co. of Philadelphia for furnish
ing 325 fire hydrants took the same course.
The standing committee on extensions
recommended that the bid of the North
Star Iron works for furnishing the special
castings to be used next year. be accepted
and that contract be drawn in accordance.
The report was adopted. Commissioner
Davis moved that certain hydrants project
ing above the level OF the street be lowered.
Carried.
The chief engineer of the board reported
chart showing the plan of the proposed
trench across the river at Plymouth avenue.
The top of the pipe is to be laid at least four
feet below the low water mark, in order to
avert possible contact with floating logs.
The same was adopted by the board.
THAT ROYALTY.
Mr.. West, representing the Strathman
Bros. appeared before the board and re-
quested that the receipt given should be so
changed that the city should not be entirely
Undermined from any possible royalty.
Commissioner Foote. while he did not de-
sire to make the change, stated that he be-
lieved that Strathman Bros. had nothing
whatever to do with the royalty.
Mr.. West explained that the contract does
provide for the payment of the royalty and
therefore the board should protect them
from the Sc, 900 which the contract saws
shall be paid to the inventor.
Commissioner Foote realized that the con-
tract in question is very queer instrument,
but he felt certain that contract cannot
hold one party without holding the
other. The contract calls for pump of
10. 600, 600 gallons per day capacity.
Commissioner Andrews felt that the board

i've than the sawed-off Lillian in sailor toys

attractions, she failed to catch on to any
extent in Minneapolis. One reason was
the company, with one or two exceptions,
does not amount to much. and another more
potential reason is that the bills limited to
the compositions of her husband are not up
to the desired standard. Strictly speaking
Polly is amusing in certain way, but it
lacks all the essential elements of success

Mr.. West was agreeable if the receipt
does not include the Sc, 600 royalty.
Commissioner Davis stated that the city

The secretary looked up the records and
found that at the meeting held Jan. "a,
1884, Commissioner Grimshaw moved that
a contract for making two Jumbo pumps
be awarded to Strathman Bros, and that the
sum of $4,000 royalty upon each pump be
paid by the board directly to James Waters.
the inventor. The contract was then read
for information. and Commissioner FOote
took the floor and charged that the engin-
eer who drew up the contract is an inter-
ested party, and therefore it is the duty of
the board that personal examination be made
to ascertain w,:1ther OF not the specifications
have been faithfully carried out.
Finally after protracted discussion.
Commissioner Andrews moved that war
rant be drawn for the $445 as the 9th pay
ment on Jumbo pump, and the motion pre-
vailed.

the value of certain tickets taken from
Brn's safe at Fergus Falls at the Instance
of the railroad company July 9, 1888.
Christine Erickson, alias ''Swede Kate"
who was found guilty of keeping house
of ill-fame yesterday, was arraigned Tor
sentence and paid a fine i'll $500. This is
quite victory for the county attorney.
Kate did not keep the house herself, but
rented it to another woman, but under the
law cited by County Attorney Davis the
court held that any one renting house for
immoral purposes, knowingly, can be held
as the keeper thereof. This is the first
case of the kind, and the attorneys for the
defense talked of appealing to the supreme
court TO test the constitutionality of the
law. but it appears have thought better
of it.
Edwin Cooley yesterday commenced
suit against the Northern Pacific Railway
company to recover $500, the value of four

Eek WON EASILY
I'm the Fifty Mile Bicycle Race With
WOOdSide.

WOOdside.
The most exciting and brilliant bicycle
race ever rode in this city was witnessed by
a large crowd at the Washington roller rink
last night. 1t was between Woodside
and Eek, and the conditions were
that Woodside was to cover so
miles to Eck's forty-seven miles. Betting
was about even, people feeling some doubt
in Eck's ability to stay in long-distance
race. The track is seven laps and frac-
ton to mile. and up to about twenty-seven
miles it was so close that the audience was
kept in a fever of excitement. At this
stage, Eek spurted and began gaining SO
rapidly that at thirty miles he was three
laps in the lead. The first fifty miles were
made in the quickest known rink time.
Eek then let up and soon after both cyclists
were attacked with cramps. Eek won
easily. and Woodside made the fifty miles
in hours and Sc minutes. Following is
the score:
Five miles. Is minutes 1885 seconds; 10

Flour Going Into Store.
In its weekly review of the milling situa-
ton, the Northwestern Miller will say:
The situation on the falls changed but
slightly. Milling continues unsatisfactory,
and about two-thirds of the local capacity
is the most that is operated. The flour pro-
duction last week was SO, 05S barrels-ayer
aging ,009 barrels daily-againsu 67.547
barrels the preceding week. and 120. 900 bar
rels for the corresponding period in 1884.
One mill was shut down Saturday, leaving
the same number in operation at the present
time as week ago. The output the pres
ent week, however will show a decided
loss, as nearly all, if not all, the mills will
be closed down Christmas day, and some
also during Saturday. AS for operations
next week. it is difficult to forecast how
matters will shape. At the present writing
the indications point to there beng as large
milling capacity in operation as now.
There is ample power for all parties caring
to run, andsit would appear that the firms
most prominently identified with present
operations are inspired with desire to take
advantage Of the prevailing high water
more than anything else. Considerable
flour continues to go into store, though the
shipments last week were heavy. There is
a rather better tone to the flour market, but
vely little doing.

the city to know that the expense for caring

so remarkably small. Times have been

IN A DEPLORABLE CONDITION.
How an Aged Lady was Treated by Her
Niece.

New HAVEN, Nov. 4.
A remarkable case of inhumane treatment
was unearthed yesterday by Dr.C. B. Adams,
agent of the Connecticut Humane Society.
lie broke into the house of Geo. Peck, Jr.,
in Cheshire, during the absence of the fam
ily and released Caroline Brooks, "a years
old, a widow, who had been confined in a
room there for over two years. 1t appears
that Mrs. Brooks becoming too aged to care
for herself and desiring to avoid her niece,
whom she disliked and distrusted, turned
over all her property to the town of Cheshire
the town agreeing to hold the property in
trust and provide for Mrs. Brooks during her
lifetime. This was two years ago and the
town, at the time, contracted with George
Peck, Jr., for Mrs. Brooks support. This
was done without consulting the old lady and
she was Mortified when driven to her new
quarters to find that she had been taken to
the house of her niece, Mrs. Geo. Peck, the
one whom she most desired to shun. Mrs.
Brooks was at once locked into room,
where she remained until yesterday. The
floor of the room, when the door was burst
open, covered with filth and stencil, was ter
rible. The poor old creature, covered with
rags, was a picture of misery. She was half
starved, being fed only once day and her
bedding consisted of bundle of rags of the
most filthy description. The room had never
been cleaned and the old lady had not left 1t
for two years. She was widow of Aaron
Brooks, a soldier in the war of 1872. Her
Imprisonment became known to the neigh
bors and Dr. Adams was notified, with the
above result. She was removed to the town
farm.
