ODDS AND ENDS.

While the city abounds in metropoli-
tan blocks of handsome and attractive
appearance, one does not have to walk
far to discover signs it was not so long
ago when Minneapolis was frontier
town. The most Scandalous rookeries
are undoubtedly on Washington avenue
north, commencing just beyond the
st. Louis tracks. Here are houses
OF YillainOuS ppearance-Some
of them have such lop-sided
look, the only wonder is they do not
fall over; others have balconies all bent
down and outward, while there does
not seem to be solid pane of glass in
any of these dilapidated remnants of
the early days. Without any doubt this
thoroughfare is about the ugliest in the
city. There are, however, two other
eye-sores on Washington avenue, be-
tween First avenue and Third south,
that seem absurd to be allowed to exist
among such handsome surroundings.
One is a little shanJy occupied by a
matchmaker, while the other is hut
kept by an old clothes man, and where,
apparently, one can purchase anything
from canary birds to secondhand pants
and gloves. Any way, such places are
disgrace to street like Washington
avenue south.

Some interesting Developments may
be looked for next month. Messrs.
Evart Nymanover, Olaf Ellison and
Rasmus Anderson, the American min
lister to Denmark, will be in the city at
the same time.

QUITE IMPORTANT.
A Brief Summary of the Procee

A Brief Summary of the Proceed
ings of the Board of Education.
There was full attendance at the
monthly meeting of the board of educa
ton last evening. Supt. Bradley i'll his
report for the past month stated that
sickness from contagious had kept
many scholars away, and intimated
that this was was to certain
degree unnecessary. For instance, 253
scholars had been prevented from at
tending school because of measles at
their homes. 1t was decided that con-
ference should be held with the board
of health in regard to the admission of
cOnvaleScent patients to the schools.
The superintendent reported the
average daily attendance as 1892
and supplemented his report with
recommendation that manual training
should be extended to the branches of
the High school in North, South and
East Minneapolis, which was referred to
the committee on text books and course
of study. The following additional teach
were appointed: Alice A, Flagg, Win
ship, school, $3.50; Miss Abbott, Irving
school, $500; Prudence Clark, Webster
school, $3.50: Ellen Matter, Everett
school, $500; Hattie NJ. Stryock. Monroe
school, $500; Margaret E. Anderson,
Irving school, $500: Julia M. Hendrix,
Mann school, $3.50; Ellen j. Hale, Jack
son school, $3.50.
Salaries were advanced as follows:
Mary E. Palmer to $3.50. Hillen Dawson
to $3.50, Silva Porter Prescott to $3.50,
Frances Sauden to $500. Mary E. Page
to 800.
The building committee reported the
of l,ni Inn
ing the past year, together with the
following statement of expenditures:
Adams school, 81, 406.74; Bremen school,
500, 1856 So; Calhoun, $24 ,291.61; Everett,
S25, 549.75; High school, 500, 141.45; Mad
iSOn, S24 ,403.48; Marcy, $1l, 043.53; Pea
body, 1923, 500 80; Prescott, 81, 1896;
Seward, 500, S26.61; Sewell, Sc, 32O.40.
Prof. Moore offered a resolution, that
was adopted, compelling a requision for
all supplies before they are purchased.
He was lead to this action, he stated,
because he found the employees of the
1IaXtun Steam Heating company had
ordered supplies without authority.
A delegate from.t the Trade and La
Dor assembly read lengthy protest
against the way in which the High
school is maintained, which he claimed
is run in the interest of the rich rather

communication was referred to the COM
mittee on text books and course of

Bills to the amount of S53, 7O1 were
allowed. 1t was decided to borrow $50, 900
from FOgg Bros. at 81 per cent interest

cided to extend cordial invitatian to

PHASES OF CITY LIFE.
Democrats Will Caucus Tonight On "a
Police Commissioner and Other
Matters.
The Fawn-Eyed Socialist Blows Into
Minneapolis and Tells Why he
MONIES.
A Duluth Managers Nerve and Mistake
Two Prominent Citizens Who, tla
Talk Politics. 4a.l

The Democrats of the city COUNCIL
will caucus this evening at the city hall.
1t is presumed the object is to agree
upon a suitable man to be elected police
commissioner to succeed /. B. Janney
and to serve four years from the first
Wednesday in April. The Iiaw
says the election shall occur in
March, leaving the council considerable
latitude, but it is the general opinion
the business should be disposed of as
rapidly as possible and put out OF. the
way. Such buttonholing has been
going Oh of late that aldermen are
rather tired and are disposed to
end it. 1t is scarcely probable that
deadlock OF disagreement will
occur, as the Democrats are too
shrewd to lose their advantage by
such move and there is not enough
rivalry and bitterness to warrant it.
The situation is unchanged since Its re-
cent review in the GLOBE, except that
the friends of Col. G. r. Hill are making
a more determined effort in his behalf:
they urge his summary removal by
the present partisan board and are
making friends on this plea. The other
candidates claim to be holding their
own.
1t is also probable that another matter
will come up in the caucus tonight OF
equal interest. This refers to the fact
that Health Officer Remington has been
looking up the law and consulting the
city attorney with relation to the powers
of the board of health and how much
control the ordinances have over it:
1t is said the doctor has posted himself
and will read a declaration of indie
pendence tonight, besides announcing
a new list of health inspectors. This,
however, is mere rumOr.

Among the novelties in "The Arabian

various colored lights. Behind this

Owing to the wonderfully large at

under consideration of giving three
matinees week. The extra one to be
given ON Thursday. This will make
the afternoon performances on Tuesday

The Tuesday matinees have so far been
the best attended. The last matinee of

Over the Matter of North-Town

At the meeting of the council commit
tee on roads and bridges and the alder
man of the Fourth ward the petition
sent into the council by residents of
North Minneapolis complaining that
Washington avenue, Third, Fourth and
Fifth streets at Fourth avenue north
were continually INSTRUCTED by cars
and that some of the railroad buildings
projected into the street was read and
discussed. S. A. March, of the North
Minneapolis improvement association,
representing property owners of North
Minneapolis, said that as it was now
there were no sidewalks cross
ing the tracks at the points men
toned and that those wishing to cross
the streets were obliged to go in the
middle of the street. On motion of
Aid. Cloutier it was decided to recon-
mend to the council that the city engi-
neer be authorized to make out the line
of the streets and that the city attorney
be directed to compel the railroad COM
pany to remove all buildings from the
streets and to see that sidewalks were
put down and kept free from obstruc-

The grand jury made no report when
they adjourned yesterday afternoon, so
it is not known yet who are indicted.
The case of w. F. Meader & Co., the
insolvent commission firm, said to have
been connected with rather question
able transaction in regard to the issue
of wheat receipts, was examined yes
terday. The methods employed by the
detectives of the Quinlan & King

against blind pigs, while in the employ
of the county attorney, was also looked
into, and it is rumored some indictments
found. George Marchant, the state
weighmaster, was on hand yesterday
with number of small boys, who are
charged with stealing wheat from
freight cars. r. f. Jones was also. in
attendance, to give evidence against
Charles L. Hazen, his late partner in

Among the prominent boarders at the

attaches to Mr.. ScOville from the fact
that he is brother of Lawyer ScOville,

of President Garfield.

Speaking to railroad conductor yes
terday, that official told of little Incl
dent that happened on late run which
illustrates what robbers some of these
scalpers or ticket brokers are. A little
woman was on board and presented
ticket made out In the name of John
Hay. This made the conductor suS-
picious, especially as the lady had filled
in the corresponding space very consci-
Ta1, A E,.et cl,n
stuck to her story that the ticket was all
its possession. She had bought it in St.
Louis from broker, paid over $50 for
it, which was far too much, and was
told she would get rebate of 50 in this
city, but had nothing to show where to
get rebate. Being a lady she could
not be put off, so the conductor tele-
graphed at the next Statian to his pas
senger agent to know what to do. The
latter sent a message back to carry her
through, but find out from her, If posi-
BILE, who thus had so shamefully I'M
posed upon her. This matter was told
to the representative here OF milford u
Mackenzie, the best known Scalpers in
the country. Mr.. Shelley was indignant,
and said it was just such blacklegS that
brought discredit on legitimate bust

There is good deal of uneasiness at
present existing among those in the
business, because an act of congress
was being prepared at the present time
to do away with their work entirely.
This move principally came from the
trunk lines, and of course they would
move heaven and earth to win, but Mr..
milford, who is president of the Amer
lean Ticket Brokers' association, prom
ised hard fight tor all those who were
engaged in a legitimate and decent bust
nest.
There was not one distinguished
stranger from the East to be discovered
yesterday at any of the hotels who was
anxious to float his opinions upon the
tariff to ngsuffering and enduring
public.

Rather ThOughtless Manager.
The manager of the Duluth opera
house is determined to support the dig
nifty of his town and its Thespian tenn
pie at all hazards. He is hustler and
he has business end. Knowing the
good taste and appreciation of the
theater-goers of Duluth,h he arose at early
hours ana made Sunday bookings, among
others "Jim the Penman'' and Golden
Guiding railway unkindness and the re-
moteness of the Zenith city from civil
lied centers, prevented either attrac-
ton from delighting Duluth and the
managers, respectively, so informed the
Duluth managerin as many notes. They
did not worry him with minute details,
or borrow up his soul with invidious
comparisons, but simply Cancelled their
contracts. With them this ended
it: but not with the Du-
luth manager. Monday he posted
down to the Twin Cities and armed HIM
self with the legal weapons necessary
to his purpose and known as attach
ments. Manager Palmer smiled sar-
donicalfy. Manager Conlllin laughed
softly and Percy Weadon Uttered timor-
ously. Finally the Duluth manager was
induced to delay serving his papers for
damages, costs, etc., until Saturday, by
which time a settlement will probably
be arranged.
81 rather think our Duluth friend
made mistake in antagOnizing such
men as A. M. Palmer and Harry Miner"
said an opera house attache. "They
control many shows and they'll give
Duluth the grand shake hereafter. 1t
is nothing new to cancel dates-the best
theaters get it sometimes. You see Du-
luth is not in position to dictate and
should be little more reasonable about
