MAKE ROOM FOR THE VISITORS

NJ AXE ROOM FOR THE VISITORS.
1t is possible that our people have not vet
realized the extent of the crowd which will
pour in upon us next week and are not as
active as they should be in making ample
preparations to accommodate them. While
it is not possible to make an exact estima te
OF the crowd that will be here during the
carnival season we know enough to know
that our accommodating capacity is going
TO be taxed as it never has been before.
The leading hotels of the city have taken
the precauti0n to lease all the vacant rooms
within convenient or accessible distance of
their locations, and there are already as
6uranceS that the hotels will not be able to
lodge the visitors who are coming. The
committee in charge of the matter of pro-
viding accommodations have been actively
at work endeavOring to secure lodgings for
strangers among private families and have
been reasonably successful. But there are
80 many families who are expecting visitors
from among their friends and personal ac-
qualntanceS and others who have no snare
rooms, that it is impossible to secure suf-
ticient room in this way. There are a
number of rooms to be had in yarious
blocks and buildings in the city which
could be had and utilized for lodging rooms.
but they are not furnished. There is
no individual who feels warranted in
renting these rooms and going to the
expense of furnishing for the short season
that the carnival lasts, and then be COM
PEELED to sell the furniture at sacrifice
after the carnival is over. The carnival
association has no funds to spare to devote
to this purpose. And the question comes
right home to us, what are we going to do
about it? The city can't afford to have
people come here to witness the carnival
and then go away because they can't find
lodging. 1t would be bad advertisement
for the city and would destroy the hope of
success Of future carnivals. Under the cir
cumstances, we know of no more appropri-
ate way of arranging the matter than that

JIr. Daar w II STAY Tbere.

Judge Wilkin yesterday filed his memo
randum in the case OF Marcus NJ. Daar and
Walter ManQ against Charles \. Nelson
and Others, in which he says that the
charge made in the complaint that certain
OF the defendants have combined and are
working for the purpose of securing a CON
troll OF the corporation in their own individ-
ual interests is not established bv the evil
dence. He says further that he is of the
opinion
1t is not within the power of the board of
directors of the corporation to remove the
treasurer except upon notice and for cause
The treasurer is not 4 mere servant. He is
one OF the chief officers of the corporation
and his Office is established by the original
articles of association. The papers presented
upon the part of the defendants do not. in
my judgment make out Il just cause for re-
moval, and the application for preliminary
injunction restraining the defendant direct
ors until the further order OF the court must
be granted.

RAILROAD CARNIvALRATEs

The railroads which center at st. Paul
are doing a very clever part by the carnival
in the matter of rates. We have assurances
that local excursion tickets good for the
whole carnival season will be sold along the
various lines at the rate of one fare and
fifth for the round trip. These tickets will
be placed on sale next Sunday, so that
parties desiring to be present at the open
ing OH Monday evening will have ample
time to reach st. Paul. 1t is a matter of
regret that the trunk lines are not making
the same concessions, their rates being fixed
at one fare and a half for the round trip,
making S17 the rate from Chicago TO st.
Paul and return. AS whatever is benefit
to st. Paul is also benefit to the railroads
leading into this city. there should be the
utmost liberality exercised in whatever per-
tains to the interests of both the city and
the railroads.

the perseverance in the futile and antagO-

FREAK LEGISLATION.

The New York legislature proposes to
strike blow at the dime museum business
in that state by prohibiting the public eX-
hibition OF freaks under 81 years of age.
The law protecting children from cruelty Is
TO be so amended that in addition to the pro-
visions of the existing law it will forbid the
exhibition of insane, idiotic or defomed
hildren in public museums, and is likely to
be followed by similar prohibition relat-
ing 10 the exhibition of adults This
change in the law is made upon the theory
advanced by physicians that the public ex-
hibitiOn of these freaks leads to the multi
plication of defective persons or mOnstrosi-
ties.

KIND WORDS PROM MINNEApoL1s

There is kind, sisterly ring about the
resolutions adopted by the Minneapolls 6
board of trade yesterday, relating TO the ice
carnival in this city, which will touch re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of our people.
1t was graceful expression of the kind
ness the people of our twin sister feel
toward our own, and coming as it does from
city which in certain sense is a rival in
business and commercial affairs our own
hearts must leap kindly back 10 kindness"
But tits even more than grateful expression
or good will between two neighboring cities.
The resolutions are tribute to the enter
prise Of our own people and recognition
Of the benefit we are bestowing upon the
whole state and the entire Northwest by
the establishment of our carnival. On be-
half of the people of ST. Paul, the GLOBE
feels justified in giving cordial shake TO
the hand which Minneapolis has extended
and promises a downright, warm-hearted
welcome to all her sons and daughters who
will come to join in our carnival sports.
We are keeping house now with open doors
and all our friends are at home who sojOurn

a total loss. When the eastern wall of the

a small twO-StOTy annex of the st. Cloud

in flames. No estimate of the pecuniary
losses can be obtained tonight, but as the

loss will no doubt aggregate over $3.50, 900.

EMPLOYERS EXERCISED
Over the Reduction in Their Wages
by the Grand Trunk.

Special 70 the Globe.
MONTREAL Jan. 25.-Exactly one year
ago to-day the Grand Trunk Railway COM
pany reduced the salaries of all officials and
wOrkingmen 10 per cent. The men OBJ
jected, held meetings, and talked about
striking, but after representations from
General Manager HicksOn that the reduc-
ton was temporary, and would cease as
soon as the receipts improved. men went
back to work again. This morning a FUR
ther reduction was made. $50 men were
discharged, and the working hours reduced
to fOrty-eight per week. Since the reduc-
ton year ago, the /, 200 men in the works
here have joined the Knights of Labor.
French and English lodges have been estab-
lished, and branches have been started all
along the line. In view of this fact, it was
generally anticipated that the men would
show their mettle and refuse TO accept the
reduction. Ii appears. however, that two
delegates from Chicago arrived here
on Thursday evening, and at
full meeting of the lodge the CUES
ton was discussed. when upOn
the advice of the Western visitors. it was
resolved that midwinter was a bad time TO
test the strength of the recently-formed
lodges. 1t was, however. determined that
unless the old rate is established on April l
next a general strike is to take place from
Chicago to Toronto. An attempt to start a
lodge of the Knights or Labor among the
Canadian Pacific wOrkmen has not met
with much success. One of them was asked
the reason, when he replied that all their
bosses were Yankees and treated them like
white men, while on the Grand Trunk the
heads of departments were imported
Englishmen, who ran the road ON old coun-
try style and treated the men badly. They
were getting tired of this and before many
months were sure every one of them would
belong to the Knights of Labor and would
be able to try the strength of the company.

SUPPOSED 40 BE FORGERY.
Patrick Barry With a SuspiciOusIy
Large Check,

A man named Patrick Barry was ar
rested about midnight by Sergt. Budy Of
the mounted police and locked up on a
charge of forgery. He attempted to pass a
check signed by Leighton & Co. of Mime

place near the Minnesota Transfer. Barry,
who has the appearance of labOring man,
had arrived at Harris place in a carriage.
and after indulging in several rounds of
drinks, rendered in payment the check of
which the saloon man at once became suspi-
ciOus. He gave, however, 50 on it, with
which Barry paid his hack bill.
Sergt. BudY, who happened along shortly
after. was informed of the circumstances
and at once arrested him. At the police
station Barry said that the check was given
him yesterday morning by a man named
Paul Felix, for whom be had worked at
getting out lumber on Skinner creek. above

that he came from Eau Claire yesterday
morning. and that he can establish his innO-
cence easily enough at a hearing.
