ceeded in putting old hats on young heads.
This Washington avenue dealer Is true
artist, and it is impossible to tell how many
hearts he has made happy by selling cheap
hats. His wOrkmen serve him well, as
they are his own children and make their
work labor of love, and replace the lost nap
and handle the bare edges as gingerly as
if the felt or pasteboard below were dyna-
mite, ready to explode under the least rough
usage. Rejuvenated hats can be bought at
this establishment at from IS cents to $40.
Twenty-Five cents represents the charge OF
the ''Old clio man, and the rest is for
knowing how, labor and profit. At S1.50
one of these hats seems cheap and good
investment. 1t bears fine weather well and
may ornament head for three consecutive
Sundays. But at the first downpour OF
rain the glue and gum, paint. brown paper
and silk resolve themselves into their
original constituents, and the thing OF
beauty cOllapses like the smile on the face
of a disappointed politician.
Silk hats and the soft felt hats are the
ones that this artist likes to operate upon
best These are easily restored to their
original shape. and by the aid of glue and
ink retain it for some time. Straw hats are
not infreQuently repaired and cleaned up
so that some purchaser can be found.
There is one kind of hat that is never
fixed up when once mashed, and that IS a

How Real Estate Men and Property
Owners Enjoy Ii.
The customary business in real estate has
been done the past week In Minneapolis
and those posted say that con tinuance
may be looked for for some time yet. Prices
have advanced somewhat lately, and are
now strong and unwaverng. Choice UNI
improved residence lots and business prop
erty is in active demand and indications
point that it will continue to remain so for
some time yet. Property on the outskirts
of the city has been receiving considerable
attention from both real estate men and
persons desiring homes. The attention of
spectators is turning to some extent to
South Minneapolis, where much good land
remains in a state of almost prlmeval
purity. Property in the vicinity of Wash
burn park is on the boom. and the idea of
having rapid transit to that point is helping
it along. Mrs. Nellie B. Mead is the owner
of the property now on the market
and has decided to sell no property unless
the buyer will improve it to the extent of
81, 900. Several fine residences are being
erected there now, and many more are
being planned. North Minneapolis is also
receiving considerable attention on account
of the 800" shops, on the northwestern
border of the city. A track is already laid
to the site of the shops, and work will begin
early in the spring.
Real estate transfers the past week
showed gratifying increase over the same
week in 1885. Following is table show
ing the number of transfers each day, with

Just what becomes of all the old hats

comes around, collects your old hats and
carries them off for quarter is familiar
to nearly every one. and must to certain
degree create respect. Crushed, frayed
and dirty, they are carried off to be re-

cleanliness is of small consideration. 1t is

HENRY GEORGES CANDIDACY
Defined by Mr. NymanOver in Hi
Lecture Yesterday In North Minne-
aPOIis.
In an adrdess to a large meeting of work
ingmen in North Minneapolis yesterday
afternoon, Evert Nymanover said:
Henry Georges candidacy, gentlemen,
means the inauguration Of labor and its in
terests on the political arena in New York.
It Is. in fact, a new Declaration of indie
pendence," this time, however. proclaimed
and signed by the right men. | think it will
be enough for me, in speaking of this sub
iect to call ,our attention to the follow
ing salient points, the truth of which will,
think be at once admitted and VOuched for
nv the experience and observation of every
Isboripg man. You know, gentlemen, that l
advocate a solution of the labor question
from the standpoint of modern socialism
Now MANY men have told me that socialism
is on the descent, that the political changes
which distinguish and agitate our epoch are
fatally against my doctrines Well, let us
see if it is.
claim that socialism is largely due to our
Dreseut social circumstances. Let me, by
the way. refer YOU to the extraordinary devel-
opment of commerce, of industry, OF manu-
featuring, ETC.; to the diffusion OF knowledge
and news amongst all classes; to the cheap
ness, rapidIty and universally OF iocomotlon
to the combinations and organizations OF all
kinds And is it not obvious that all these
facts have bearing on socialism? We are
forced to socialize ourselves both within and
without, aud that in spite of our own wishes
many times. Yes; such being the case, the
converted men have everywhere taken their
stand. and now, as you know, in the city OF
New York. have put ticket in the political
field that promises labor and its knights the
frln
beginning is there for ell that. Next time. OF
the third time, gentlemen, and the victory is
ours. There is race in which the prize is to
the swift workers; let us par
take as champions. The candidacy
of Henry George means salvation
TO you and yours. and humanity to all others

Henry George runs for mayor. 1t is a plat

TALKING TEmpERANCE.
City Churches Occupied by Promi-
nent DE. egntes 10 the Convention.


The city rang with temperance yesterday,
and the pastors, with few exceptions. had
a holiday, so far as sermons were concerned.
Prominent delegates to the n. w. c. L. U.
were assigned to the various churches and,
with the exception of the Catholic churches
and the Church of Christ, every pulpit was
filled. At the former the regular pastors
held forth, and at the latter a prOtracted
meeting is in force and Elder Cobb delv
cred the sermon. He is an eloquent ex
horter, and the little church is seldom so
well filed The meetings will continue
through the week. and he will preach every
evening. On Friday evening the ladies
will serve supper.
At the leading churches the attendance
was prodigious Miss Willard talked at
Westminster last evening and hundreds
were unable to push their way to within
hearing distance of her. At Plymouth,
where Miss Hunt spoke in the morning and
Mrs. Aldrich at night, the crush was great,
while Mrs. Buell.. at the Second Congrega-
tional. was heard by congregation equally
as large. Children's meetings were held at
3 o'clock at many churches. and while all
were we'll attended, the crowd was just as
great at the Casino. where gospel meeting
was conducted by Mrs. Youmans, of Can
ada; Mrs. Woodbridge, of Ohio. and Mrs.
Pearson, of England. Besides these there
were services at Bethany home, city work
house. reform club and the city mission.
The weather was unpropitiOus in the even
ing. but the general attendance was not
affected thereby. and special street cars and
trains on the motor line were run to accom-
modate the people.
The National Womans' Christian Tenn
perance union will resume its sessions at 10
O'Clock this morning for the third day.
A very interesting meeting was held at
the wOrkhouse yesterday afternoon at which
addresses to the prisoners were made by
Mother Stewart, Mrs. Barney and Others.
About two hundred citizens of Single
creek were present, and the services were
of most impressive character.

ton Headed for minnesota.
William Gleason, representing John L..
Sullivan and his constellation of pugilistic
stars. arrived at Minneapolis Saturday, the
object of his mission being to secure man
who will undertake to face Sullivan for
four rounds. Five hundred dollars had
previously been offered as premium for
any one who would consent to undergo the
ordeal Negotiations with Cardiff and
Killen having failed. Mr.. Gleason has come
armed with an offer from Pat Sheedy to
make the amount 81. 900. In spite of this
tempting bait Cardiff declines and Killen
does not seem a bit anxious. Cardiff
saws he doesn't want to fight as he has a
good business and perhaps he is WISE"
said Mr.. Gleason last evening. John L..
is in splendid shape. He has not drank a
drop of liquor in five months, and you
wouldn't know him. He is logged out
like prince and is the picture Of health.
He has been in Chicago for a week past.
and starts tomorrow on his farewell tour
around the world. He has with him Steve
Taylor, Pete Mccoy, Jimmie Carroll, Jim
MCune, the middleweights; Dan Murphy.

spider Sullivan shows at Racine to-
night and will be at St. Paul next Satur-
day, Duluth Monday, and at Minneapolis
Tuesday. election night. We go to DeS
Moines and Omaha. From there we jump
to San Francisco, where Sullivan fights
RYAN the 18th inst. We go to Australia.
and then to England. Sullivan means to
retire from the ring then, after giving fair
notice and opportunity to any one who
wants to meet him. The fight with Ryan
is a sure go. Ryan is under contract with
Pat Sheedy, who will be personally pres
ent. and there is no chance for back-out.
| hope to make some arrangement to bring
Killen and John l.. together at Duluth.
Sullivan regards Killen as the coming man,
and considers him the best in the country
to-day, next to himself, of course"
