MIR. wYSE'S ENTERPRISE.

A Friend Of the President Embark.
in Washington Journalism.
New York Graphic.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Politicians ana
gossips here have had their tongues set
wagging by the announcement that
Walter NJ. Wyse, fam;liarly known in
New York as ''Billy" Wise, has pur-
chased an interest in the Washington
Post, the democratic daily conducted
here by Stiison Hutchins. Mr.. Wysc is
widely and favorably known among
business men, advertisers and sporting
men alike, having had charge for some
time of the advertising department of
the Harpers' publications, and lie is said
to have made upward of a round $780,
900 by the firmness and confidence with
which he backed Cleveland for the
presidency in 1884 and Hill for the gov
ernorship last year. What means this
new venture in Washington: is the
query frequently heard. Your CORE
spondent may be able to throw some
light upon the subject.
w &c Oti
friends, their acquaintance and mutual
esteem dating back probably to the days
when Grover Cleveland had not yet be-
come sheriff Of Erie county. They were
brought together through Mr.. Wyse's
acquaintance with and friendship for
the presidents brother. who owned
hotel on ore of the islands of the Carrib-
can sea. and who was afterwards lost ON
"A voyage. Whenever Mr.. Wise visited
Buffalo, as he habitually did during the
trotting season, he called to see his law
yer friend, and not infrequently shared
the hospitality of his bachelor quarters.
At one time they made the trip to Lake.
George together. Their friendship thus
cemented by long association, it is not to
be wondered at that Mr.. Wyse was as
much the cause as any one, at least. OF
bringing the Harpers into line to sup
port Grover Clev Gland for the presiden- I
cy. He it was who took Tom Mast to |
Albany and introduced him to the then /
governor. whereupon they all lunched /
together. 1t is not surprising that the !
president should entertain deep regard |
for 40 old and valued friend-one, also,
who never embarrassed him by asking
for any favor either ut Albany n:
Washington. In fact, after Mr.. Cleve-
land became governor, Wyse visited Al
bany only . few times, when he spent
some very pleasant hours socially ut the
Mansion.
With all these circumstances in mind
It is safe to say that if there ever was
and emphatic administra-
ion organ in Washington. t ere is 60
ng to be one of that sort now.

Several years ago 4 resident of one of
the suburbs had tile misfortune to be-
come totally blind. a cataract forming
over his eyes. While in this condition
his wife died. A young German girl
whom the unfortunate man had never
seen was very attentive to the wife in
her last illness, and after her death did
what she could 10 make the gricf-strick
en- husband aud his two little children
as comfortable as possible. Such devo-
tion did not go uurewardcd. Tie blind
man proposed and Yves accepted. He
married the faithful girl. Two children
were the result Of this union. During
his years of blindness the sightless man
never lost hopes that some day he might
again look upon the beauties of nature
and the loved ones around him. \ phys
sician was finally consulted, who agreed
to attempt the removal of the cataract.
The operation was successful, and he
from whom the light had been shut out

fellow. ''No, I do not This is your
wife" And then the pair. one of whom
had never seen the other, fell into each
others arms. ard a domestic scene Of
pathetic beauty cnsued. The two little
children were also brought in to their
father. He clasped them to his beating
heart, and all the miseries of the pasr
were forgotten in the pleasure OF that
moment.

GaH Consumers.

On and after April 1 the price of gas
will be reduced fifty (50) cents per 1000
feet, making the net price So per 1000
feet on all bills paid before the 10th of the
month.
In short time the company will have
completed its auxiliary plant by which the
illuminating power Of the gas will be greatly
increased, so much 50 that it will be equiv
alent to a further reduction In cost to the
consumer OF at least Is per cent. by reason of
having to use a less quantity of gas TO
obtain the same amount of light. In this
connection We call the attention of mer-
chants now using oil to the advantages of
gas as an advertising medium. A poorly
lighted store, by its gloom and unpleasant
Odor. repels custom. while a brightly
lighted store attracts custom. Successful
merchants of all the large cities OF the
country use gas TO an extent hardly thought
of in ST. Paul. AT the reduced price which
is now offered, there is no reason why
every store in St Paul should not
use gas. 1t is nearly as cheap
and far safer than oil and much cheaper
than the electric light. To those who de-
sire the electric light we will add that we
have just completed, at a cost of over
500. 00O, and are now operating one of the
finest electric light plants in this country,
and are prepared to furnish the arc lights
without limit, and within thirty 500 days
we will also be prepared TO supply Gus
toners with the incandescent electric light
of any candle-power required. 1t is the
endeaVor of this company to cheaper 10
the consumer the cost of light whether gas
or electric, as rapidly as the business will
warrant and an increased number of custom
ers will go great ways towards securing
further reduction i'm price.
We would also call the attention of con-
sumers to the economy and desirability of
gas for cooking purposes. Gas at So is as
cheap as anthracite coal at $3.50 per ton.
and superior in every way. There is no
dirt, ashes or labor, the fire is always ready
and the stoves manufactured at present are
in every way equal to the ordinary cooking
range. We shall have on hand samples of
stoves and would request their examination.
We Will give purchasers full benefit of dis
counts given as by the trade.

WESTERN UNION CHANGES.
New Day and Night Chiefs for the
OfIice..OIher ChnnRea


''This is my last night" remarked j. F.
Butterfeld, night chief at the Western
Union Office, to GLOBE reporter last even
ing. II have been here four years, and
have held my present position since we
came back after the strike, two years ago
last summer" Inquiry revealed the
fact that some important changes
are being made in the Western Union
Office. s. A. Purtell, who has been acting
day chief, acted in that capacity for the
last time yesterday, and in his place will be
to-day Mr.. V. T. Kissinger, who has been,
heretofore, sub-chief in the Western Union
Office at Chicago. Mr.. Purtell will remain
in the ST. Paul Office as wire chief. The
position of night chief will be filled by Mr..
Paul Henkel. who has been for long time
in the Western Union service in Chi
cago. Mr.. Butter6eld will leave st.
Paul, and will hold down a responsible po-
sition in the Western Union service in Chi
cagO, which will give him a larger salary
than that of the night chief here. The
above changes were given out in Western
Union circles yesterday at noon, and it is
said that Others, which the officials here
were not at liberty to make public last
evening, will be promulgated to-day. The
two new men above named are expected to
I'LL their respective positions to-day.

AN EVENINGS FIRES.
Fiske, Turner 81 Co. Damaged in the
wilder BIOck-0Iher BIazes.


An alarm of fire from box "a at $50 last
night called the department to the Wilder
block. No. 1S5 East Fourth street. The
fire was found to be in the sixth story of
building. which was occupied by Fiske,
Turner IL Co., manufacturers and jobbers
of pants. The front portion of the upper
floor is divided into compartments and the
tiremen found great difficulty in making
their way to the seat of the fire on account
of the smoke: The blaze originated at the
trimming table of the manufacturing room
and quickly spread to the large piles
OF baled goods and partly-com-
pleted garments. The damage to
the flames being extinguished chiefly
through the agency of the chemical engines
and without the use of much water Mr..
Fiske stated last night that the firm had
about $4,000 worth of stock and ma
chinery, on which there was an insurance
of $40. 500. which was about equally placed
with Rogers Bros. and w. G. Strickland.
He could not estimate the damage, as il
was impossible from cursory examination
to tell what injury the chemicals and smoke
had done to the goods and the twenty sew
ing machines in the room. A large num-
Der of finished and partly completed pants,
which were burning, had been
pitched from the windows. and
until systematic inspection could
be taken the loss could not be approx
mated. He thought the loss would not
exceed the insurance. Fiske, Turner g.
Co. are new firm. having begun business
about six months ago. and employed about
thirty hands, mostly girls. The origin of
the fire is unknown. and when the opera
tives closed at o'clock everything APP
peared to be all right.
SEVERAL OTHERS.
At 6:55 box SO was turned in for two
burning bams-One on Hopkins street and
the other in the rear of $40 Collins street
The first is owned by Grace church and the
latter by Thomas Brendan. Both bIazes
were eXtinguished with triflIng damage TO
the buildings, and the origin of each was
incendiary.
Shortly after o'clock box 221 was
sounded, but the fire was confined to the
chimney of two storey frame dwelling
owned and occupied by e. Meyer. corner of
Seventh street and Bates avenue. There
was no loss

business college took place last evening at
the school rooms, corner of Seventh and
jackson streets. The prepared program
embraced essays or recitations by the grad
yates, iDterspersed with addresses by friends
of the institution and with music. Mrs.
Pratt presided at the piano and rendered
several vocal solos, which were received
with enthusiasm. Prof. Faddis talked of
the past, present and future of the college

land. Object of a Good Business Education

Messrs. NJ. j. Costello and II. Halverson.

because the iateness of the hour rendered
il necessary TO cut the program.
Col. d. A. Robertson gave a very
interesting address Of twenty minutes
on the Money Value of Business Educa-
ton. Prot. Prendergast read a selection of
Connecticut exaggeration, which was so
well received by the audience that he was

Pat Conley has induced the owners of
the Olympic theater building tn enlarge the
house by building up a solid front even with
the sidewalk, and carrying it up several
feet higher than it is at present. This will

a balcony inside that will increase the seat

BETWEEN TWO TRAINS.
Passengers Who Tarried at the HO-
tells and What They Said.

George Bulge, Grand Forks, was visible
about the hotel corridors yesterday. He is
one of the leading residents of Grand Forks
and yields considerable influence in terri
torial affairs. He is self-made man, and.
coming to Dakota in an early day. has man.
aged to accumulate a goodly amount of
money and real estate. His possessions in
Grand Forks are creditable, and of late he
has branched out and bought largely of
Duluth property. In case another boom
should strike either Dakota or Duluth. il is
probable that he will amuse himself cutting
off coupons from his many bonds. Politics
interest him not. he devotes his time and
attention to business.

j. Z. Haggart walked about the hotels as

the county of which Fargo is the county

that position. He has served several terms
and has acquitted himself so creditably that
it is generally conceded that If he desired
denomination there will not be much oppo-
sitOn to him. He is in st. Paul looking
after some stock with which to stock his
farm just out of Fargo.

as without hope in connection with the di-
vision and admission of the territory, but
