FORMING A WESTERN LEAGUE.
A Duluth Representative Feeling ST.
Paul on Base Hall.

Mr. w. II. Lucas, representing the Du-
ruth Base Ball association. arrived in st.
Paul yesterday from the Zenith City, and
will to-day confer with parties in ST. Paul
who have been working to organize a CLUB
in st. Paul to join some league. Mr.. Lucas
states that 81, 900 has been raised by Du
luth base ball enthusiasts, who are anxious
TO have that city represented in a Western
league during the season Of 1856. AS soon
as league is formed the Duluth associa-
tons stock will be SO, 900, paid up. 1t is
first-class base ball city, and is perfectly
willing and able TO support good club.
Last season when games were PLAYED there
between the home club and teams from
neighboring towns and cities the attend
ance averaged from 600 TO 1.300,
and this attendance would be
increased to witness league games. Mr..
Lucas says that the whole city would turn
out TO Sunday games. The new mayor is
the treasurer of the association and is a
regular sport. Players are not difficult to
get this season. They are obtainable at
salaries of 500 a month, while $3.50
month would not have got them two years
ago. If everything works favorable league
will be formed for the coming season.

NAMING THE SIRE ETs.
The City Full of Streets That ApPar-
emily Have No Names.

City Engineer Rundlett said yesterday
that since he had assumed his Office about
LOCO street names had been put up. but
there are still great many that are not in
Dictated by signs, especially in the suburbs.
This fact causes great deal of confusion
and trouble among strangers in the city and
not few old residents. When they get into
the outskirts they are mixed up when they
strike new streets that have been opened.
The action of the council authorizing the
city clerk to advertise for bids for putting
names on street lamps will undoubtedly do
much to remedy the trouble. as there are
between seven and eight hundred lamps in
the city, and this number is to be increased.
As these lamps are scattered throughout
the city limits the stranger will have less
trouble In locating himself.

running meeting in st. Paul this spring. is

occasions during the day, and was the re-
cipient of many calls from his lady friends
at the hotel. Mother and son are both

Attorney General Hahn received letter
yesterday, presumably asking for advice,
written in foreign language, which neither
Gen. Hahn nor his deputy, Martin, could
decipher. 1t was turned over to several of
the officials to guess at. Gen. Jennison.

that it was from Todd county, then that it
was from Chippewa county, but finally gave
it as his ultimatum that it was from either
Mr.. Chippewa of Todd county or Mr.. Todd
of Chippewa county, and he would pitch
copper which. The attorney general said
he confined his own guessing simply to the
meaning of laws. and would not venture an
opinion. The letter was placed on file.

dirty and black eyesore if something is not
done to prevent the issuance of the dense
volumes of smoke that the various CHIN
neyS of the nelghborhood now emit, have
requested the council to pass an ordinance
compelling the adoption of some smoke
consumer by property-holders who use large
furnaces and steam apparatuseS. The eX-
pense of such consumer is not large. and it
is said to be fact that the smoke which
they consume will effect saving of at least
one-fifth in the coal burned.

United States Marshal Denny states that
he does not know whether his resignation
in the hands of Senator Sabin has been
rendered to the department. His term of
Office does not expire until Feb. 90, but he
sent Senator Sabin his resignation nearly a
month ago, with instructions to present it
to the department if there were no
charges on file against him. Should there
be any charges, however, against him. it
was not TO be handed in, as he would hang
on to his office and fight the charges. He
can easily knock out any that may be made
against him. He is willing to step down
and out whenever he can do so. and leave
clear his record while an incumbent of the
office.

WILL TAKE HIS TIME.
Mayor Rice still i'm Favor OF c. N.
Parker as Fire COmmissiOuer.

Parker as Fire Commissioner.
Mayor Rice was seen by GLOBE re-
porter yesterday and asked if he had con-
ciuded TO make another appointment to the
board of fire commissioners since the APP
pOintment of Mr.. Charles n. Parker had
not been confirmed by the council. He said
that he supposed an appointment would be
made some time, hut he hadn't given the
matter much thought and shouldn't make
any haste in the matter. When he ap-
pointed Mr.. Parker, he did it knowing that
he was a tirst-class man for the place. being
a mechanic of recognized ability and a man
Of sterling business qualifications. He said
the suggestion had been made that he was
not n citizen of st. Paul. but he knew that
he was. While he has foundry i'm Brainerd
and spends some of his time there, his family
lives here. he OWNS property here and
claims this city as his residence. The mayor
iHtmated that an appointment might not
be made until he went out of office. In
the meantime Mr.. Parker will hold his
chair in the board of fire commissioners.
and his vote will weigh just as much as it
would if his appointment had been con-
tirmed. and will continue to weigh until an
appointment Is made and confirmed by the
council.
In regard to this matter, section 260 of
the city charter says that if the mayor
makes an appointment to the board of hre
commissioners and the council refuses to
confirm it. he shall make another appoint
ment forthwith and send the name in at the
next meeting of the council. 1t is the gen
eral opinion. however, IL the mayor chooses
To take such action he can continue TO reap
point MIR. Parker and send his name in at
every council meeting, SO long as that body
refuses to confirm the appointment. In
this case the term of Mr.. Parker as MEM
Der OF the board of fire commissioners
would only expire with the stepping out of
Office of the man who appointed him. The
general impression is that it will be hard
matter to remove Mr., Parker under the ex-
listing circumstances.

Building Inspector Johnson is having a
streak of good luck according TO his own
acknowledgement nowadays. Yesterday
afternoon he walked into his Office when
Capt. Starkey, backed up by the other en-
ployes of the department, in an elaborate
and complimentary speech presented him
with an elegant seal-skin cap. with gloves
of the same'material TO match. The re-
cipient was yisibly affected, but he was not
so far knocked out that he was unable to
make an appropriate reply, in which he
thanked the donors and expressed his
pleasure at the kind remembrance.
