can build up such character as that.
Because of his high character for integ-

committee Of managers TO mature plans and
SOLICIT funds for the erection of the monu-

honesty and sagacity. that circulstors OF the
committee soliciting and bearing his name
were received with great favor. Mr.. Whittle-

faithfully so much time and energy. But

The plain and business like statement
made to a committee of tho Council and
Chamber OF Commerce yesterday by Gen. II.
II. Slbley, President Of the St. Paul Gaslight
company, sets at rest n good many Of the
wild statements which have been made. The
fact stated by Gen. Sibley that the dividends
have averaged less than four per cent per
annum since 1891. shows that there is no
very remarkable bonanza IN being stock

While the str,c.ures made have been man
itestly unjust, it is, perhaps, better that they
should have been hroaght to public atten-
ton as il has thus enabled explanation 70 be
made which thoroughly refu,e the criticisms.
The standing aud position 10 this eommu-
nifty Of the owners Of the gas works, ought TO
make 1t occur % our citizens that under no
possible contingency would there be any In
territorial wrong, and that when errors or
defects do occur (as they vii In any bust.

Toe discussion and the meeting Yesterday
have demonstrated the fairness Of the gas
company in dealing both WITH the city and
private consumers. No one need have any
apprehension that the present gas company
will ever be found guilty Of suy dishonesty
or unfsirness, aud It would be well 10 take
this poiat into consideration before eeeom-

SELECT STORY.
THE UNPAID BILL.

"Thirteen and seven are twenty
and nine-oh, dear me! | wonder
what that noise in the basement hall
is? 1t sounds like some one cry
ing"
Miss Comfort Walker laid down
the pen wherewith she was indus
trlously adding up her household ac-
counts, and listened.
at is some one crying" she said
to herself. "Oh, dear, dear. what a
world of tears and tribulation this
is.'
Miss Walker had been left penniless
and unprotected at the age Of 20, but
she was not one of the "drooping
ivy" kind that takes to needlework
and tubercles on the lungs. So Miss
Comfort went boldly ahead, opened a
first class boarding house and made
money. This was the history of the
brisk little woman in a BROW. debage
dress and cherry ribbons at her neck,
who hustled down stairs to see what
could be the meaning of the vague,
indefinite sobbing sound which now
became audible.
"Oh, it's you, IS it?' said Miss
Comfort, as she perceived Ellen
O'Brien, the washerwoman, in the
basement hall.
Eyes, it's me, worse luck, Miss
Comfort" sobbed Ellen.
"And what is the matter ?''
"It's me bill upstairs, Miss Com
fort-the boarder in the second story
front, wild the gay goold shirt studs
and the green and yellow stones in
his sleeve buttons. Nine dollars
and sivinty cents, Miss Comfort-six
weeks washing and ironing-and
now, when | makes bould to ax him
would he be pleased to pay me, he
tells me it isn't convenient! And
when | tells HIM how sore | need the
money, he ups and gets mad, and says
| shan't have it at ALL"
Miss Comfort stood listening with
knitted brows and troubled black
eyes.
"Have you got your bill with You,
Ellen :" she asked, after a moments
hesitation.
Jimmy wrote it out all neat and
proper" faltered Ellen, producing q
crumpled slip of pale blue paper from
her pocket.
"Give it to me-" said Miss Comfort
"And come here this evening at s
o'clock aud you shall have youl
money"
She went slowly up stairs with the
little piece of paper in her hand.
"It is shame" said Miss Com,
fort.
Lcotard Carlyon was Miss Comfort
Walkers best boarder, with the single
exception that, up to the present
moment, his $25 a week had been IN
futur0.
Now, it so CHANGED that one reason
for her reposing so much confidence
in Mr.. Leotard Carlyon, the new
