NOT THEIR MONEY.
Comptroller Rocbe Says the Water
Hoard il WRONG.

''The water board is mistaken" said
Comptroller Roche yesterday, as he turned
from the window through which he was
watching passing fragments of the process
sion and found the reporter who had ques-
toned him regarding the water boards
right to the 81, 600 premium on the
$500, 600 bonds issued last year for the pur-
pose Of extending the water works system.
The water board is wrong" he repeated.
''In the first place the premium amounts
to SD, GOO instead of so, 600 as they say,
and the council has decided TO place that
premium in the general fund where it now
is. The money doesn't belong to the water
board until the council recOnsiders its reSO-
luton and gives il Ia them. / doubt
if it has the power TO do SO.
The city hasn't taken anything from the
water board; il got half of the $500. 600
worth of bonds that the legislature entities
it to. The premium doesn't belong to item.
it belongs 10 the city and is proof OF the
city's credit. If the city treasury is weak
ened then taxation must be higher, so il
isn't policy to take from that and give To
the water board. The water board has got
all that it is entitled to-" and at this point
Mr. Roche produced the city charter and
pointed TO sec. l. article sS0, bearing upon
the matter. which reads as follows:
BE it enacted by the legislature of the State
of Minnesota: That for the purpose of ex-
tending, enlarging and improving the water
works of said city, the common council OF the
city of st. Paul is hereby authorized and en-
powered 10 issue aud negotiate bonds OF the
city of st. Paul TO an amount not exceeding
SS09,000.
Il can't see how the board can be in need
of money just at this time for it has be-
tween $50 coo and $50, 600 in the treasury.

wear at present, with a bow OF ribbon. The
knickeTbOckeTs were the same as
were worn on all occasions only
of blanket instead of the ordinary
cloth. The boys of those days did not
wear moccasins. The matter was brought
up at the second regular meeting of the to-
boggan club of which George Washington.
Jefferson and others were members
and, after a vigorous discussion, it was de-
cided, in view of the fact of the
Indians wearing them, and as the Indians
were somewhat unpopular in the best cir
cles Of that day, that it would be in bad
form to adopt them. This action was
finally made unanimous, and by rising
vote the club adopted Arctic oyershoes
with nickel buckles in their place.

out for its first run. 1t is said that ne OBJ

How George Washington Used TO

George Washington missed one of the
biggest picnies If his life that he didn't live
u take in the st. Paul winter carnival. Those
who knew George and were pretty well ac-
Quainted with his habits and style of
living say he would have enjoyed the sports
here Immensely, and it was with a feeling
of joy mingled with sadness at his absence,
that enthusiasts of the carnival cele-
bTated his birth yesterday. But it
could not be. Ii was impossible for
Mr.. Washington to visit st. Paul during
the late festivities, and kind fate has fixed
it so that ne doesn't know how much he has
missed, and there will be not one sigh of

the sports of winter carnival as well as was
possible for him with the limited facilities
at hand and the mildness of the winters. IL
is pleasant at this season of winter gaiety,
when everybody Is wearing tOboggan suits,
to recall some of these incidents in the life
of the great man whose birthday was yes
terday celebrated.
History states that when George Wash
ingtOn was 20 years old he purchased a
toboggan suit and gave himself up during
two or three succeeding winters TO
the eXhilaraung sport. In style the
uniform was much like those of the
present day. IL had the red and
white toQue. which was, however, then

have been later when his hOnOrs sat thickly
upon him and he had been made immortal
by having his cabinet photograph reduced
and printed on the postage stamps
which brought him into popularity
and won for him added respect at once
There is one other incident that ought to be
related on this holiday occasion and that is
to the effect that the original cherry tree
that grew in Old WashingtOn's yard, has
been preserved until this year and is now
ON sale, cut up into small bits and fashioned
into tobOggans. This is all true.

HELD FOR FORGERY.

Judge Hare of the Burlington city
court has decided to hold Miss Jennie
SaXton of Richmond for trial by the
county court on the charge of forgery
He fixed bail at $500, which she had not
been able TO procure at last accounts.
The preliminary examination has caused
a good deal of a sensation in Chittenden
county. The respondent was arrested
about two weeks ago for forging the name
of Hon. John l.. Mason, prominent res
ident of Richmond, to an order for $500
on the cashier of the Burlington savings
bank. Mr.. Mason denied ever having
given her authority to make such
use of his name; she claimed that he
had told her to draw on the bank for
what money she needed. The hearing,
which was begun at Burlington week be-
fore last, was resumed on Thursday of
last week and was finished on Monday
of this. Miss SaXtOn averred that Mr..
Mason had held improper relations with
her since she was II years of age, and
said that this was the reason why he
supplied her with money. Mr.. Mason
denies the whole story of the girl, and
his friends assert that it is an attempt at
blackmail. The girls parents live near
Mr.. Mason's home.

MIR. STEWARDS OPINIONS.
Congressman John W. Stewart of YER
mont is one of the lOng-headed New Eng
landers whose judgment in politics Is
made up from study rather than from
prejudice. He was here a day or two
ago on business and we fell into chat.
Among other things he said: There was
never any doubt in mind about the
return of Mr.. Edmunds to the Senate. 1t
was Il toregone conclusion from the be-
ginning. The position of Vermont on
the presidency will not be Il leading one.
There are good many Blaine men in
the State. But YOU might almost say
that the choice of candidate will be die
tated by two or three States that can be
named. The solid Republican States will
fall into line for any candidate selected.
They may have judgment as to the
man they think best fitted to promote
success, but they will not be inclined to
press their views as against those of the
Republicans in the pivotal States. Mr..
Edmunds will not be candidate. He
permitted the Vermont delegation to use
his name in the last convention. with the
knowledge that it was a hopeless thing
to present it, and rather against his judy
ment. He told me that he knew it was
next to farce to put his name before
the convention and go through the form
of voting for him. He said after it was
over that he would take good care that
his name should not go before another

ESCORT
This is a theologico social question, with
remarkably delicate shade of difference be-
tween the two methods of action. The argu-
msnt used as indicating the main pew as the
proper place for sitting, would at first sight
seem conclusive but they do not prove the
case. The difference lies in this The lady Is
not supposed to have a box at the theatre,
but she has pew in the church attended, and
under the circumstances, it would secm more
fitting that escOrtIng her to place at which
she is a regular attendant, the man should sit
with her in her own pew. But let Escort"
not despond Now, the preference in these
little matters goes all with the lady, In the
sweet by and bye, he will probably lead her
TO her own pew by right and where he will
sit at one end and she at the other.
