COMPROMISED AT LAST.
The Old Rental Complications BE
tween the City and the Tribune.

The Old Rental Complications BE.
tween the City and the Tribune.
The council committee on public grounds
and buildings had an important meeting
yesterday. For year the troublesome
complications arising from the old Tribune
City Hall case have stared the council boldly
in the face. without much prospect of a
satisfactory adjustment. Yesterday the
matter was taken up. 1t transpires that A.
B. Nettleton, former proprietor of the
Tribune, in whom was vested the lease of
certain space in the city hall, actually abdi-
Gated the lease by violating one of the
fundamental conditions. namely, by failing
to keep the building heated and then vacated
the building entirely, and
WITHOUT PAYING THE RENT
then due. Nettleton had sublet portion
of the building to various tenants, and since
he vacated the hall, and since he failed to
pay to the city his rental price, has called
upon the sub-tenants, the telephone COM
pany and telegraph company, and has re-
peatedly requested them to pay their re-
spective rentals. Fortunately for them,
they have refused to do so. In July new
lease contracts were entered into by and
between the two tenants mentioned and the
city, and it is up to that date that Nettleton
claims the rental. The representa-
tlveS OF the two companies
were before the committee yesterday
and compromises were arrived at. The
telegraph company agreed to pay the money
direct to the city and to pay in addition S25
per month for electric lighting: The tele-
phone company explained that the new
Tribune has been supplied with an indepen-
dent wire between MinneanoliS and ST
Paul to date, on account of the rental in
controversy, and at the value of $50 per
month. The council committee explained
that the Tribune had no rights whatever in
the premises and that the city should not
be holden for the $50 per month, yet the
committee was willing to make reason
able concession. A settlement was arrived
at whereby the telephone company should
five and one-half months in dispute, from
January to July, and also give the city one
months telephone service free, valued at
$40.
MISCELLANEOUS AFFAIRS.
The city comptroller stated that he had
repeatedly sent to the Minneapolis Mill
company bills for rents due the city for the
ground occupied by the mill company on
the canal, and that the company had treated
the bills with disdain. The city attorney
was instructed to proceed at once to collect
the bill, 5000. for two years rental.
The Heinrich Brewing company occupies
the old steamboat landing near the foot of
Sixth street, and the rent, $50 year, has
not been paid since Jan. 1, 1882, and AID.
Noeremberg was appointed committee to
attend to the matter.

THE CITY CALLED UPON
TO, Aid the ExpOsitiOn--Terms of
the PrOpO siIiOns Submitted.

A lively boom was given the exposition
at two meetings held yesterday afternoon.
The first was council meeting, at which
the directors were present and the doors
closed; the second was meeting OF the
directors, at which special council COM
mittee was present and the doors closed,
but the results of both meetings were after
wards made public. The directors had al
ready appointed committee on site, COM
posed of five members At the council
meeting a committee of eight on site was
appointed and at the the subsequent meet
ing the exposition committee was raised to
an equal number as follows:
Council. Exposition.

Edward ComStock, Fl. G. Harrison,

An executive session of the council had
been held on Saturday to consider plan
submitted by the exposition directors, which
was as follows: The city to furnish a site
and the exposition corporation to erect
thereon a suitable building, costing not
less than $3.50, 600, and containing not
only ample accommodations for the eXposi-
ton proper, but music hall and other ac-
cessories of a great public building of this
kind. The site and building are to be the
property of the city. but the exposition is
to be controlled and managed by the direc-
tors in the interest Of the stockholders, who
are to receive the first 6 per cent. per an
mum earned by the exposition, all excess of
that sum to be divided equally between the
municipality and the corporation. The
latter is bound to maintain an institution of
prescribed degree of excellence or suffer
reversion to the city,
No decision was recorded, but a meeting
was held yesterday, at which the directors
were present. Still no direct conclusion
was arrived at though several doubling
aldermen Of Saturday were in favor of the
proposition at this time. It was stoutly
argued that the exposition is an enterprise
in which the entire city is interested, and
the people at large would cheerfully indorse
the plan given. Finally the committee
above named was appointed the director
ate committee was enlarged and a joint
meeting will be held tomorrow morning to
discuss the matter.

Figuring on the Vanderbilt Forum

\
If the sum of 5000, 900, 600 were in stand
ard silver dollars it would present such fea-
lures as this:
Put lengthwise, dollar after dollar. it
would reach distance of 4,672 miles, max
ing silver streak from New York across
the ocean to Liverpool.
Piled up, dollar on dollar, it would reach
a height of 355 miles.
Laid fiat on the ground, the dollars would
cover space of nearly sixty acres.
The weight of this mass Of silver would
be z, 100 tens.
To transport it would require 1853 cars,
carrying twenty tons each (this is the ca
pacity of the strongest freight carr, and
making train just about two and half
miles long.
On ordinary grades it would require
twelve locomotives to haul this train. On
roads of steep grades and sharp curves
fifteen or twenty locomotives would be
needed.
In one-dollar bills this 5000, 900, 600 for
tune would assume such shape as this:
The bills stretched lengthwise would ex-
tend %, 674 miles, or nearly the circum-
ference of the earth at the equator.
Piled up one on another close as leaves in
new book, they would reach a height of
twelve miles.
Spread out on the ground they would
cover TAG acres, or nearly the whole surface
of Central park, including ponds and reser-
voirs.
A safe deposit vault to contain these bills
would require to be twenty three feet long,
twenty-five feet wide and twenty feet high.

A LIFE OF HARDSHiPs.
A Providence Boys Experience as De-
serter from the French Army.

A Providence Boys Experience as q De-
serter from the French Army.
The Neaos printed, on Saturday, 3
story of boy who enlisted in the French
army and deserted three times. The
names were withheld because the
parents desired to keep TO themselves
the greatest trouble of their lives. But
now as they have decided to appeal to
the Secretary of State for assistance in
getting their son out of the army, it
were better that the names be given,
that they may have the sympathy, at
least, of those who know the facts. The
fathers name is Simon Herion, a
Prussian, who came to this country
about fourteen years ago. He is en-
ployed in the Wanskuck Mills, is citi-
zen of the United States, and is highly
esteemed for his industry, his Christian
character and worth. His wife is a
Swiss, who lived on the French side of
the Confederacy. Hence, the father
speaking German and the mother
French, the boys Henry and JOHN be-
came fluent in the use of both. 1t is
unnecessary to repeat the story of the
boys wanderings. 1t closed with the
fact that Henry, the elder brother, had
been recaptured after his third
desertion and led back to prison. News
has been received that he was sentenced
to fifteen years hard labor with the
chain-gang. There are three French
military posts in Algeria. At one of
these Henry is held. They live in tents,
he - xrryaotahnI The o,.I
has orders to shoot any one who at
tempts to desert. But every one OF
them can be bought.
When Henry was recaptured after
one desertion he was kept 100 days in
an underground dungeon, given only
bread and water, and little dirty soup
once week. The hardships through
which he has passed seem almost in
credible. When John reached Algeria
he went into the country to find the
farmer for whom Henry worked The
farmer was away on two days Jour-
ney. John waited for his return, and
learned that Henry was in place near
the coast through which John passed.
AS he stated in the other account, John
reached this place to see Henry led
away by French officer. If he had
not lost two days waiting for the return
of the farmer. he would have found
Henry before the officer discovered him,
and he might have escaped. John at
once started for home, and is expected
every day. Henry Herion is minor,
not twenty years of age, and on this
ground an attempt will be made through
the Secretary of State to effect his
release.
Since writing the above it has been
learned that the son John has this
morning reached his home in Wanskuck.
He left Algeria on November 22.-ProU-
dence NeWS.

Farmers as Business Men.

1t is popularity supposed by large
class of farmers that none but business
men need to acquire knowledge of
business forms and rules. To their
mind the business man occupies a posi-.
ton similar to the lawyer and the doc.
tor; he learns his trade and proceeds to
get living by it. This class of men
believe that business forms are uniptel-
lgible, whereas they are very simple.
de Is as respectful at the mention of
the words percentage" "draughts, y
bill OF lading," invoice, 4" as he is when
he hears the family physician talk Latin.
But every farmer is a business man. He
has crops to go to market; he wants to
sell to the best advantage; he has to
sell oftentimes on credit, and he is con-
tlnualiy buying. To all intents and
purposes he is business man. It would
seem very desirable. however, that the
younger men, who are one dav to fiji
the places of the present generation.
should learn how to handle with ease
and accuracy the business forms and
methods which commercial men bv
long practice and experience have re-.
dnced TO a system. Boston Globe.

They are ringing in the New!

They are ringing out the Old!
Down the stairs are bObbing, bobbing
Heads Of brown and head of gold!

Calmly reads the morning news,

" Ho! he'll buy us OF with apples
And some candy, too, to boot!"
Then the door is flung wide open,
And a lusty, laughing shout
Mingles with the bells and trumpets,
In the merry-nalzing rout!
Louder, faster, toot and Jingle,
Grandpa, smiling, never hears;
= Why!--now, grandpa quick cries Goldie

How they fly mt him, those babies!-
How they hang about his knees!
And they smother him with kisses,
And they give him little ease

Drives each little man and maid
With arattling charge Of candy
And an apple cannonade!

The Tooth actory,

The domain of the dentist is about to
be disputed. A great discovery has
been made which will revolutionize the
whole business and emancipate the suf-
terers. A factory has been established.
with plenty of capital to back it, for the
purpose of making artificial teeth by
machinery. All that any one who is
troubled with his teeth will have to do
will be to get them all pulled out. Then
he can purchase a brand new, machine
made set and be exempt from toothache
all the rest of his life. There is. of
course, nothing new in the making and
using of artificial teeth, but it will be
easily seen that the manufacture by ma
chinery presents great advantages.
When the making of watches by ma
chinery was started there were many
protests that the new way would never
be as good as the old. But the exact
ness soon attained, and the convenience
of having the parts interchangeable.
brought about revolution, and the
factory watches now rank above the
handmade. The same advantages will
be had in the factory teeth. If one set
gets broken, or comes out, an exactly
similar one can be ordered from the
factory at very small cost If the plate
gets cracked it can be replaced in the
same way All that will be necessary
will be to give the number of the plate.
and new one, precisely like the old,
will be sent by return mail.-N. 7. MGa
