RARA AVIS.

It is some satisfaction to know that
there is one man in the Uuited States
who will not accept Office. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that he does not live in
Minnesota. But what is more singular
ne does live in New York. and his name
is TUCKER. 1t is possible that he is a
descendant of that fine old gentleman of
the olden time who had a reputation for
ALWAYS getting home too late for supper,
and whose peculiar frailtY has been cele-
brated in one of our most popular national
songs. But without regard to his lineage,
Mr.. TUCKER has displayed quality rarely
found in an American citizen. Henot only
declines an office under the federal gov
eminent, but declines one that had fat
perouisiteS attached to it. In his letter to
the president Mr. TUCKER presents two
reasons for his declnation which are none
the less sound because they are novel
The Office to which he had been appointed
was that of railway commissioner to
adjust certain matters between the
government and Western railway
company. growing out of the land grants
and subsidies which congress had given to
the company. Mr.. fuckers first reason
for declining to accept the position of rail-
way commissioner is that he regards the
legislation which necessitated the creation
of the office as an outrage upon public
rights, and he will not soil his hands by
having anything to do with the infamy. In
the second place he assigns as a reason for
declining that he is informed that when
ever these government railway commission
ers go out upon trip over the lines to be
investigated they are at once made the
guests of the railroad companies, who spare
neither pains nor expense to make things
comfortable for the investigators. The re-
suit is that by judicious use of delicate
grub and fine wines. the commissioners are
made to see things in more favorable
light for the railroads than they do for the
government. Mr.. TUCKER thinks that this
is all wrong. and as he is a man who would
rather be right than an Office holder, he
hastens to decline the appointment. While
noone will be disposed to find fault with
Mr.. TUCKER on account Of the course he
has pursued in this matter, it does seem
pity that man with such level head and
Of such scrupulous honesty could not be
utilized by the government. A corps of Of
fee holders like TUCKER would be of more
service to the government than all the civil
service rules that were ever invented.

Whatever individual differences may
exist regarding politics. there is complete
unanimity among all classes of st. Paul
citizens upon the fact that the wonderful
real estate boom. which the city is now en-
ioying, is deserving of tie fullest encourage
ment The growth in the value of real estate
in ST. Paul has been healthy and continuous.
1t has never exceeded point warranted
by the city'S phenomenal growth, and is
vet, despite the ominOus croakings of carp
ing persons, far below, as a general propo-
sition, the value which circumstance would
warrant. Comparison of the value of ST.
Paul property with that in other
cities not enjoying the growth of the
Northwest's metropolis is decidedly in
favor of this city. There is every reason to
believe that values will continue to ascend
the scale and that purchases made in
almost any section will not be astray.
There is, too no reason why there should
be any 6iminution OF the activity in real
estate consequent upon the approach
of winter. On the contrary, every indca-
ton points to an extremely lively business,
and investors may rest well assured that
they can make no better disposition of their
surplus capital than by following the ad-
vice of st. PauIs reliable real estate men
in the matter of investments.

Baird Mantx Raore Roan,.

WASHINGTON. Nov. PROF. Baird.
director of the Smithsonian institute. in his
annual estimate for the museum. asks con-
gress to appropriate $3.50, 600 with which to
begin the construction of a new building to
flank the Smithsonian building on the west,
as the present museum TANKS it on the
east. This sum will carry to completion
the front and one wing of the new build
ing. and another nearly equal sum will
probably be required to finish the structure.
If the proposed worlds exposition in 1892,
the project for which is under conSidera-
ton by committee of congress, meets
with approval, the money devoted to the
construction of the new building. it is said,
will be contributor of so much toward
the necessary outlay for that exposition,
but in any event the new structure is held
to be an immediate neceSSitY.

a lady can have three rolls OF her own hair,

1t is really great pity when fashion
compels the wearing of ornaments which
can only be worn by the few. Besides. it

the religious category. They will hold
monster meetings, and do you know
that whole parties of society
people are going there to take
in that as sort of entertainment, too.
Well, before they get through with it some
of them will get excited and nervous, and
imagine that they are converted. and all
that sort o. thing; and it will spoil lots of

get the meIancholies over religion nowadays
as they used to do, and they must get into
