PLEASANT "MAYoRr BAKER.
The Aldermen Get Taste OF Him,
and Doesn't Like Him.

Police Commissioner Baker yesterday
condescended to appear before the coun-
Gil committee and made all explanation
as to why he refuses to return to the
city clerk the annual report of the ma
iority of the board of police commits
Sioners, or rather stated his position,
which, briefly put, is Il don't have to-"
He thought the committee should ac-
cepJ pamphlet which he claimed
was an exact copy. He was told that
reports were never printed until sub
mitted to the council, and that the orig
inal document with the bona fide sig
natures of the commissioners was
wanted. He fatty refused to give this
up, and the committee will report to the
council its inability to obtain the report.
The obstinacy and unreasonableness of
the commissioner eXasperated the add
ermen considerably, and there was some
short talk which was listened to with
considerable amusement by the spec
tatorS.
Another instance of the exalted opin-
ion of their rights and powers enter
tanned by some of the commissioners
cropped out yesterday. The boards
secretary has been in the habit of order

BERLIN. April 30.-The Hon. Carl
Schurz was entertained at banquet at
the hotel Kaiserhof last night Many
prominent Germans and Americans
were present including Count Herbert
Bismarck. Prof. Gneist introduced Mr..
Schurz in an eulogiStic speech which
Mr.. SchurZ replied to, saying that he
was simple American citizen of Ger
man birth. While German-Americans,
he said. love as bride, the great COM
monwealth of America, their is no less
ening of their affection for their old
mother, and they had enthusiastically
greeted the union Of the German father
land under the leadership of the
brave HOhenzollern, and we have
also noted with pride how the
imperial chancellor has raised himself
like colossal figure in the worlds his
tory above all the statesmen of his time,
placing Germany as power of the first
magnitude in the family of nations,
while at the same time utilizing his
victories in maintaining peace among
the peoples of Europe. The preServa-
ton of friendly understanding be-
tween Germany and America is dearer
to German-AmericanS than anything
else. If differences with reference
to commercial interests shall oc-
cur, it is hoped that wise measures
on both sides will overcome them.
Count Herbert Bismarck, in course of
his remarks, gave assurance of increaS-
ing endeavOrS Oh the part of the im-
perial government to further the
friendly relations of the two countries.

Two Girls Fight a Duel.

SAN MARCIAL, n. NJ, April 3O.-A
remarkable history comes from a Nor
mon settlement in the Luna valley that
is vouched for by the federal authori-
ties. Two girls named Mary Seemore
and Sarah Ballon, aged respectively
eighteen and sixteen years, became
rivals for the affections of young cow
boy named Whitman. The latter is a
Gentle and recent arrival in the set
tlement. So desperate phase did the
rivalry betV On the girls assume that
they fell to fighting in a tabernacle as
finale to the religious services. They
were separated. and two days later some
men were attracted to the outskirts of
the settlement by pistol shots, and
found Miss Ballon lying on the ground
seriously wounded. The Seemore girl
was standing few feet away with a
pistol in her hand. She said they had
fought duel and that she had hit her
rival at the first fire. Two pistols were
found, but the wounded woman says
she was shot before she had an oppor-
tunity to use her weapon. The wound
is not fatal.

Wounded.
Ell PAso, Tex, April 3O.-A fierce
hand-to-hand encounter at Valentine, a
small station 160 miles east of Ell 2aso,
on the Galveston, Harrisburg & San
Antonio road, Saturday night, resulted
in the killing of Conductor Charles
Server and the fatal wounding of Sam
Taylor, drunken cowboy. When the
train stopped at Valentine, Taylor got
aboard and went through the coaches
using vile language. Server argued
with him, and finally foreibly elected
him. Taylor drew a dirk, eight inches
long, and began stabbing him about the
head and shoulders. Server immedi-
ately commenced emptying his revolver
into Taylor. Both men sank down in
the midst of their deadly conflict.
Server received five scalp wounds, a
thrust in the neck that severed the
carotid artery and jugular vein, and a
cut in the left arm. He died in few
minutes. Taylor was shot three times.
Two balls went through his body lust
below the heart and the third struck
him in the face, at the left side of the
nose, passing behind that organ. forcing
the right eye out and itself coming out
above the eye. Server was about forty
years old, and unmarried. He was
supposed to have come from the East.

City Times.
Some one has been collecting facts
about the fathers of United States pres
idents, with this result: "Grover
Cleveland is the only clergyman's son
who has ever been elected president,
though Arthur's father was clergy
man. He was not, however, elected
president. The fathers of the Virginia
presidents = Washington, Jefferson,
Madison and Monroe--were planters.
John Tyler's father was a lawyer and a
statesman, and John Adams, the father
of John Quincy Adams, was by profes-
sion a lawyer. Grants father was a
tanner. Hayes father a merchant, and
the fathers of Garfield, Lincoln, Pierce.
Fillmore, Polk, Van Buren, and Jackson
were farmerS.''

Fargo Republican, April so.
Realizing that the existing political
chaos is one of the most serious evils
affecting Dakota, the Republican will
aid, so far as it may, in providing a
remedy. This condition Is largely an
Outgrowth of personal, in distinction
from party politics. Personal affiliations
have taken the place of party allegiance:
newspapers have been conducted for
personal aggrandizement rather than
the public good; and through the gen
eral decentralization fidelity to principle
has become substantially a lost art, and
fidelity to party only another name for
sham and pretense. 1t is plainly essen
tial that there must be higher standard
for the press; reputation of boss
methods and boss leadership; the hearty
cooperation of honest and intelligent
men, of each party. in purifying their
own political machine, and the general
cooperation of the same classes in sup
port of every worthy enterprise.

A dime museum in st. Paul has on
exhibition human being with two
mouths. There is a political party in
this country which at the present time
is sadly in need of presidential candi-
date. A man with two mouths would
seem especially ordained by providence
to fill the bill. If he can make speeches
with one mouth advocating reduction
of the tariff, and sing with the other
mouth the beauties and benefits of pro-
lection to our infant industries, he is
the long looked-for prophet of political
party, and it is not necessary TO state
which party it is.
