Some OF the papers of the State are
discussing the propriety of closing the
great Cotton Centennial Exposition.
The pros and cons in this matter are
about evenly balanced. So far as any
great advantages occurring to the best
interests OF our State are concerned, we
have our doubts. We have made a
splendid exhibit of what we can do, but
very poor one, as to what we hare
done. AS our commonwealth is not
creation of yesterday, like some of the
Western States with equal but different
resources, it looks much more like note
of hand to be paid, than balance
sheet OF cash acceptances. Had the fine
samples sent to New Orleans, represented
vast accretions stored for use or sale at
home, the invitations for population,
and the calls for capital might have had
practical turn. The vast mineral re-
sources OF Georgia Alabama and Ten-
nessee are wealth already made by na-
ture, and requiring only capital to utilize
and throw upon the market in the di-
versifed forms of industry. The same
may be said of the great mineral States
of the West, and with equal emphasis,
may be applied to the great agricultural
and pastoril resources of the same ia
vored regions. They have something
real and tangible, upon which enters
prize may get to work at once. Rocky
beds and flowing waters may be good
sites for mills, but they are not mills.
We can offer good places on which man.
ufacturers could be established, but we
have no suitable population ready to run
them, nor have we the ready and availa-
BILE supplies to feed that population. Not
so in States or districts abounding with
the necessary adjuncts of such enter
prises. Even in the supplies of cotton
machinery, what else can we offer but
the wood, water and land, besides cotton?
We know that Northern capital in
liberal advances would soon be expend>
ed in Mississippi in establishing mas
chinery amongst the cotton fields of our
State, were it not for the fact, that the
builders would have to bring with them
their operators, and then introduce
system of farming and gardening to
create necessary supplies for the use of
these educated laborers. When these
mechanical resources Of wealth are es>
tablished in the West or North, all that
they need is the site Of few acres on
which to build, as the intelligent laber
is there, with all the feed supplies at
hand. So, as we have stated often in
these columes, if our State is to be
benefited, we must not depend on cap>
tivating population and capital by
samples OF what we can do, but present
great stores of what we have on hand. |
When cotton will be reduced to half OF
the present average, for corn, wheat, oats,
grass, beef. pork and mutton, we may
see the fruits Of this change, without
Cotton Centennial Exposition in New
Orleans or any where else. If the peo-
pie of New Orleans can raise the three
hundred thousand dollars to keep the
Exposition on its legs, until next fall
md winter, it will be good thing for
he Crescent City, but as to the benefits
hat our State will receive, outside the
ea coast watering and fishing resorts,
hey will be too small to count as general
advantages.

A New Polish Church.
To the Editor of the Globe:

To the Editor of the Globe:
The Polish Catholic congregation of this
city is building church addition, and the
building will be ready for Gods service on
or about the 18th of August. The Polish
congregation is increasing rapidly and pros
pering under its pastor, Rev. d. Majer, who
came to this city from Poland in 1888. The
Polish people are coming here from all
parts Of Poland, viz: Prussia, Austria
and Russia, and it is worthy
of mention that while Poland was so treach-
erOusly dismembered and deprived of her
rights by her neighboTs in 1898, her people
did not lose anything of the nationality and
love for their country and Catholic faith.
The Polish language is spoken by IA. 900, 900
Of PNes, 10,000.000 of Rutl1enians and
5000, 900 of Lithuanians. So we see that
the Polish kingdom consists of $4,000, 900
of inhabitants which are deprived of their
political independence, and the more they
are prosecuted the more they stick to their
nationality and faith; and when deprived of
their pastors and bishops, as is the case in
Germany, and especially in Russian-P GLAND,
and forced by the Moscovitic ears ukase
to sell their property, they come to this
country for shelter and bread which was
denied them in their motherland. Such
people deserve our sympathy, if not on ac-
count OF their own merits certainly on the
merits of their compatriots Kosciusko and
Pulaski, who fought so generously for our
liberty and freedom.
The following is an extract from the
czars ukase dated Jan. 8, 1885, for
bidding the Poles to buy landed property
in their own country. No Pole nor de-
scendant OF q Pole shall buy, acquire, rent,
or take into possession in any shape or
manner realty of whatever nature or kind
except in direct inheritance, in that portion
OF Poland comprising the provinces of Gu
hernia, KijoW, Podok, Wolyn, Wilno,
Grodno, Witebske, Mohilew and Minske,''
an area of about seventy thousand square
miles, with about ten million of inhabitants.
OF course such a law is despotic and in
human one. and we can hardly believe that
Russia, a great empire wishing to have
place among other civilized nations, would
be able to treat in such way nation
which she wants to keep subject to her.
The whole of Poland is, as we see, a good
sized morsel, and can hardly be digested.
and being advanced in civilization far
above Russia it would be just and right
that other ruling nations should take part
in the restoration of Polish independence
and Danish far away such inhuman czars
laws as that above cited, because, as every
man has been made to be free. so also every
nation has a right to live in liberty.

Mora Apparatus Badly Needed--Lack
OF Water in Tricky Built
Districts.

One of the most interesting and exciting
sights to be witnessed in the streets OF any
large city is the respOne of a well-equipped
fire department to an alarm, and stOlid in
deed would be the disposition which could
view unmoved the gallant spectacle. 1t is
a stirring scene, unequaled in effect pos
sibly save by that presented in the charge
of body of cavalry or the bringing of ar
tillery into action during war times.
Owing to the wonderful system of cleo
trio fire alarm apparatus now in use in large
cities, the casual spectator may stand upon
a street corner, if he happens to be any
where near the box from which the alarm
has been turned in, and before the first
vibration Of the public fire bell has died
away, review in flying procession the charge
of the fire brigade. First, afar in every
direction are heard the rapidly changing
gOngs sounding louder and nearer the scene
of action. Pedestrians pause upon the side
walks, and windows ON every street are
suddenly alive with human heads. We
hicles are quickly turned up by-streets, or
run in close to the sidewalk by their panic
stricken drivers. Every other cOnsidera-
ton is forgotten in the absorbing moment
of expectation. Here they come, dashing
into view around half dozen corners at
once, the horses rising and falling in mad
gallop, the ponderous apparatus shaking
the earth in their heavy transit. The Off
GERS of the department skim by in their red
painted, light wagons, alert and deter
mined, clearing the way for the engines by
shouting and waving of hands. Casual po-
licemen along the route become Jealous
and active. With daring swing and
slide the twO-wheeled hose carts
round crowded corners and bound over

Union Excursion.

On Sunday next, May "a, the Great
Western band of this city has arranged for
its seventh acnual May festival, to take
place at Hotel Lafayette, Minnetonka
beach, and to make the occasion as auspi-
cious as possible, has united itself with the
DAM organization of Minneapolis. The
musical program for the pavilion concert in
the afternoon by the Joined bands will con-
sist of the very best of selections, intro
dueihg for the first time the oboe, fagott
and French horns in the military band. The
direction will be in the veteran hands of
George Seibert assisted by the young and
talented leader Frank Danz of Minneapolis.
With this combination Of musicians, and
under such able directors, one can enjoy a
rare musical treat, one fully as good as any
concert given at Manhattan beach by any of
the famous bands. If the weather should
prove unfavorable the concert will take
place in the large dining room of the hotel,
free to all that may be participants in the
excursion. A large attendance should re-
ward this new sign of musical progress and
enterprise Of the Great Western band. =

he was as full as billed owl. He was fiat
on his uppers, as the stage vernacular goes,
and he resorted to novel device to re-
plenish the exchequer. Early yesterday
morning he cabbaged rope from farmers
wagon, and going to the center of the Wa
basha street bridge, he stretched the line
across, and when people having teams drove
up he attempted to exact toll of 25
cents each. Officer Ives was put onto
his racket, and he was yanked.
When arraigned he gave the name OF
Charles Neal, and stated that he simply
wanted to raise funds to procure square
meal. He gave the court some nice taffy
and his sentence was suspended.
Pat Carr and Ben Broderick, specimen
bricks from the Rice street gang, were
charged with trying to clean out the saloon
of S. A. Mosdenkold. Carr tackled the
latter with knife, and his pal pasted him
with rocks. They were sent to the bastile
for thirty days and placed under bonds to
keep the peace. The salOonkeeper was
then arraigned for selling liquor to minors,
and his fine was RENTED on condition that
he would not violate the law again.
A trio of tough-looking men named Tur-
ner. Kenny and Fletcher were charged
with being drunk ana dlS0rderly, ana the
case presented some peculiar features.
Last-W ednesday evening the attention OF
Special Officer DOherty was called to the
actions of the men in the rear Of the union
depot, where they were having drunken
carouse with woman. The men berated
the officer when approached and he placed
them under arrest. On reaching Slbley
street they resisted and all succeeded in
getting away, the officers coat being torn
in the scutfle. They were rearrested yes
terday and Turner was only fined So, while
the sentence of the others was suspended.
A couple of years ago Dora Smith was
regarded as young and handsome, but mis-
fortune and fast life were too much for
her and when arraigned for drunkenness
yesterday scarcely trace of her former
beauty remained She stated that she would
leave the city if released and her sentence
was suspended.

Temperance Entertainments.

The exercises at the Gospel temperance
rooms last evening were of more than spe-
cial interest. Mrs Bailey and Miss Mays
gave the opening exercise, consisting of a
piano duet. a reading was then given by
Mr. H Fl. Cleveland ''Ye Pretty Birds
was well sung by Miss Ida Waldt. A read
ing entitled Drifting was ably recited by
Miss M. Pendergast, and Miss Effie Baily
gave piano solo. Miss Waldt and Mrs.
Joswick sang 'Tyrolese Lied'' very sweetly.
The address of the evening was given by
DR.. W. Dunwoodie, and Mr.. Cleveland read
''Ned Flynn's Story" with good effect. The
audience was large and quite enthusiastic
in its applause.

n. Here are three clocks, each one OF
which performs a specific duty.
Each alarm is registered here upon tape
working in an instrument in appearance
similar to ticker" In the room back
of the office are to be seen the $50 glass jars
in which is generated the electricity which
partially covers st. Paul with its vigilant
network. These jars furnish six circuits
containing fifty-eight alarm boxes, which
are made to cover an area of twehty-four
miles. According to good authority, the
establishment of about fifty boxes
more is an imperative necessity,
as there are outlying districts
which are almost without pfotec-
ton or means of furnishing a quick
alarm. Detroit, Mich, with an
area of about one-half Of that con
tanned within the limits. of st. Paul
has lao fire alarm boxes. The same au-
thorities state that in order to properly pro-
tect the city there should be an increase
also in the fire department by the organiza-
ton and equipment of at least four more
steam engine companies, two chemical COM
panies, and one hook and ladder company.
This increase is actually necessitated by tn g

HE CARRIED A RAZOR.
A Quarrel Between u Brunette ana
Her Darkey Lover Results I'm
N Cutting ARRAY.

A serious cutting affray took place at a
late hour Friday night, the circumstances
of which were not developed until yester-
day. The victim to the affair is a pretty
colored girl named Della Smith, who it will
be remembered was shot and seriously
wounded by colored soldier about two
months ago, the circumstances in both cases
being quite similar. Night before last a
colored soldier from Fort Smelling called on
the girl and invited her out for ride. She
accepted, and they drove out to Como,
the Half Way house and sew
eral other resorts adjacent to
the city, returning about II o'clock, both, it
is understood, being under the influence of
liquor. While approaching the city limits
they engaged in dispute, which led to
blows, and during the fracas the man drew
a razor and in trying to defend herself her
arms and hands were badly slashed. In
the course of the row the buggy tipped
over, and evidently believing that he had
committed serious crime the fellow made
off in the darkness. The horse was caught
before it had gone very far and the woman
assisted to the buggy and brought to the
city, where her wounds were dressed by a
physician and pronounced painful but not
very serious. The mans name is supposed
to be Greenberg or Greenberry, and steps
have been taken to have him arrested.

ssWe now have two chemical engines in
service, No. having been in service thir-
teen months, and No. 2 in service ten
months. They have extinguished in part
or whole one-half of the fires during the
year, without calling on the other engines
for water They are light equipped appa-
ratus, drawn by two horses and manned
with four men, and are thus enabled in
running to make exceedingly rapid time, in
one instance during the year running five
blocks and laying hose in one minute and
three-quarters. For incipient blazes, they
are just the thing, as the years experience
with them has proven. Also, in large fires
where water is being used on the burning
building, they perform valuable service pro-
tecting adjacent property. The location OF
number of them on Dayton's bluff, in
West st. Paul, St. Anthony hill, aud those
extreme parts of the city, where small fires
are the rule instead of the exception, would
materially aid us in keeping the lire loss
down to minimum figures"
AT the rear of the engine room are the
stables. where are standing night and day
partially harneSSed horses. The balance OF
the harness is either suspended by lines di-
rectly over the engine pole, or attached to
it. These horses are all picked animals OF
noble proportions and staying qualities, and
the services of competent veterinary sur
geon are in constant requisitioY TO keep
them in condition.

Another ST. Paul man has gone wrong.
This time the victim is George B. Bryson,
man of fine business capabilities but poor
executive talents. He knew enough to Sc
cure his pile but he did not know enough to
get over the line into Canada, and so he has
been captured. Bryson has for some time
past been in the employ of n. B. Hatch,
who keeps a wholesale and retail tea store
in the Market building. He has held down
more recently the position of travelling man.
combining the duties of salesman with
those of collector. Up to month ago Bry-
sons accounts were submitted carefully and
regularly. All at once, however, Mr.. Bry-
sons correspondence became conspicuous by
its absence and his employer began to
wonder what it meant. inquiries only went
to show that BrysOn had made several large
sales in different parts of Wisconsin and
that wherever he had been able
to raise any funds he did
so. More careful examination showed
these amounts footed up exactly 81, 1S5.
But Mr.. Buyson had gone and with him
this amount of money. The last place he
was positively known to visit was Eau
Claire, where he was seen on the Goth OF
April. The case was placed in the hands
of Chicago detectives, to whom was sent a
description of the gentleman. Nothing
was heard of him since until yesterday,
when message to St. Paul stated that the
much-missing man had been captured in
Chicago and was patiently awaiting an
officer to escort him back to st. Paul. Ac-
cOrdingly last evening Detective Daniel
Ahen took passage on the $40 train to
Chicago and will return with the prisoner
on Monday night or Tuesday morning.
