CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Diversified Crops and Other Feat
ures Discussed

IlfeS DlScuSSeu.
A communication was read at the
chamber of commerce meeting yester-
day morning from the management of
the Minneapolis Industrial Exposition,
inviting the members of the chamber to
attend the Exposition, and to exert their
influence in inducing the people of st.
Paul to attend next Friday, which had
been set apart as st. Paul's day.
1t was resolved that the executive
committee be directed to report to the
chamber with reference to the control
and status of the st. Paul d. Duluth
Railroad company, and what should be
done in the interests of this city in ref
erence thereto.
ItwaS also resolved that the common
council be requested to forbid the repub-
LEGATION of the ordinance to vacate GER
tain streets now occupied by the union
depot company, until the matters con-
taiTed in the recent communication of
the council to the union depot company
were satisfactorily arranged.
The committee on health and santa
ton reported back the resolution in re-
gard to the lengthening of the noon re-
determined to go before the board of ed
ucation and consult with its members
on the subject.
AS the chamber was about to adj
iOurn Judge Flandrau stated that A. b.
Stickney was present and had a COM
muhication that he desired to read.
The substance of the communication
was that Minnesota and Dakota farmers
were making a serious mistake in de-
voting nearly all their time to raising
wheat, and that they ought to diversity
their crops and pay more attention to
raising cattle and hogs.
He followed the reading of the CON-
munication with a few verbal state
ments, the substance of which was that
the time had gone by when farmers
could make money by raising wheat, as
the crop grew less and less every year.
The northern parts of Minnesota and
Dakota were going through the same
experience that the farmers inSouthern
Minnesota had, and he thought it was
time to sound the alarm. He closed by
suggesting that a committee of five be
appointed to make a thorough inyesti-
CATION and report. The chamber agreed
with Mr.. Stickney, and the president
appointed CIV. Hackett, E.V. Smalley,
William Lindeke. G. Seabury and O. L.
Marvin.

LIGHTNING RODS
Cause a Suit Between Two Farm
erS.


A curious case has just been decided
by Justice of the Peace Frederick Mel
son. August Treager. an agent for a
lightning rod company, sued a farmer
named Charles Kruger for $50 for put
ting up lightning rods on the latter's
house and barn. He alleged that
Kruger and himself entered into a
written contract July 25, by which he
was to put up the lightning rods, and if
the job amounted to S45 defendant was
to have a discount of $40. Plaintiff
put up 1S5 feet of rod, which he valued
at 500. Taking the discount off left the
amount alleged to be due $50.
The defendant in his answer denied
that he had ever entered into written
contract, but did make verbal agree
ment, and with the understanding that
the work was not to exceed a cost of
S45. When the bargain was made the
plaintiff induced him to sign an order
on the lightning rod company for the
material, stating that it was necessary,
so that the company would know where
to send the rods. The alleged ''con-
tract came up in evidence. 1t was
simply an order on the company for the
rod material sat 80 cents per foot" but
across the top was this condition: elf
the job amounts to S45 there will be a
discount of So"
Kruger maintained that he supposed
the job was not going TO amount to any
more, while Treager held that the
amount involved was based upon the
80 cents per foot'' clause. Two wit
nesses testified according to Krueger's
statement, whereupon Treager said he
did not know very much about the
business, as he was farmer. The
court learned. however, that he had
been in the lightning rod business for
four months and gave judgment for
only SS5.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"HarbOr Lights at the Grand,
and Lady of Lyons" at the PEG
nIe'S.

"HarbOr Lights at the Grand,
and Lady of Lyons" at the PEG
pies.
Persons fond of melOdrama found no
limit to the entertainment that was Of
fered them in the production of liar
Dor Lights at the Grand last night.
The play is far superior to most of the
hotch-pot melodramatic performances
that are usually seen. Next to Gill
let's Held by the Enemy it is
the best in this line of plays that has
been seen here for good while. The
plot is strong, the climaXeS are worked
up in effective style, the lines contain
poetic sentiment beautifully expressed,
and the scenic part of the production is
most admirable. The company under
the management of Mr.. Curtis pos
sesses the rare quality in dramatic cast
of being uniformly good. Each member
being admirably adapted to his or her
role the result is smooth performance
which enchains the attention of an au-
dience. Considering that it was the
first nights performance this season,
with company all new to each other,
and a vast amount of heavy scenery
to be handled, the play went
on with exceptional SmOothneSs
last evening, and the large audience
testified their approval by frequent
demonstrations of applause and by call
ing the actors before the curtain at the
close of each act. In a company where
all did so well, it would seem inVidiOuS
TO mention one member of the cast to
the exclusion of the others. Yet
the work of Mr.. WelleS in the
oh I iauA KinnSIaV anH Mice
Stuart in the part of Dora Vane, merits
special mention. Mr.. Chapman played
the dual parts of Frank MOreland and
Capt. Hardy most cleverly, while Miss
Beaman, Miss Roberts, Mrs. Dickson,
Miss Conway. Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Conway,
and Mr.. Stevens won abundant APP
plauSe. The same bill tonight and the
remainder of the week.
LADY OF LYONS"
A large audience witnessed the per-
Torrance of Lady of Lyons" at the
Peoples last evening. 1t was not such
aprOduction as Mary AnderSon's COM
pany could give, and yet it was inf
nitely better than has been pro-
duced here by companies headed
by stars of great magnitude.
Mr.. Lipman makes an ideal Claude
Melnotte, and when he appears on
the stage wearing the French cockade
sideways, his resemblance to the En-
peror Napoleon BOnaparte was the sub
ject of universal remark. Miss Young's
imperSonatIon of the title role
was an artistic performance, ex-
,cept that it was lacking mamma
ition. Her mobile face failed to
ieXpress the emotions which were sup
iposed to have been aroused in the
sbreaSt of the noble Lyonese lady. The
other characters in the play were i'm
personated by the other members of
The cast in their usually clever style.
The same bill the remainder of the
week.

ST. 'PAUL's DAY
At the ExpOsitiOn---A General
Turnout Invited.

Acting Mayor Bickel yesterday issued
the following proclamatiOn:
PROCLAMATION.
MAYORS OFFICE, I

the following proclamation:
PROCLAMATION.
MAYORS OFFICE,
CITY OF ST. PAUL, Sept. 3, 1883.
To the People of st. Paul:
Friday, Sept. z, has been named by
the managers of the Minneapolis Indus
trial Exposition as st. Paul day. In the
absence of his honor, the mayor, the
managers of the Eposition have extend
ed to the people of st. Paul, through
meas the chief executive of the city, a
kind and hearty invitation to visit Min
neap0lis and the Exposition on that day.
Special attractions in the form of an
elaborate floral display and special
musical programme have been prepared
for the occasion.
Let us, on the day named, next Fri
day, by large and general attendance,
show to the people of our sister city that
we appreciate their efforts to build up
and develop the material and mechan-
ical industries of our state; that we, too,
love art and music, and that by our at
tendance, by our voice, or by more sub
Stantial aid. if necessary, we will ell
courage them year by year in making
this Exposition a magnificent display of
the material growth and development
duu SOcidl dttVdlCcIHtHJ VI IhIiutSold.
Let us on that day also remember how
kindly and numerously the people Of
our sister city responded to our invita-
ton to visit us during our winter sports.
Let us also remember that these two
great cities, which have heretofore
grown so evenly and magnficently side
by side, sometimes quarreling (as chill
dren will sometimes quarreD, are now
each year moving rapidly toward that
point where their interests and pros
perity run in common channels; that
the same storms that bring disaster to
one will injure The other; that fair
sky and prosperity for one mean also
fair sky and prosperity to the other.
Remembering all these matters, [
hereby order and direct, so far as | have
power so to do, that all the people of
st. Paul, rich and poor, large and small,
put aside their common and everyday
work or play on next Friday, and on
that day visit and enjoy the Minneap-
oils Exposition.

CHIT CHAT CORNER.

The Immigration traffic over the
Northern Pacific road during the past
wear has been remarkable In the past
twelve months $1,000 people have gone
West, majority of whom went to Ia
coma. These emigrants did not come
from across the sea. and appear to be
the best class that have ever been seen
in this part of the country. They came
from Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Iowa and other states. They were all
better educated than other emigrants
have been, and were well to do in the
world.
Many of them brought along with
them the means of making themselves
comfortable from the start. and all have
made homes for themselves immedl-
ately after. arriving at their destination.
A large part of them have sent home
for their families. This shows that they
succeeded in securing work in their new
homes and that they are satisfied with
the change they have made. The result
is that they are pleased and are writing
home to their friends and relatives very
glowing accounts of what they have
found. The railroad people are looking
for large increase in immigration
next year.

Thousands of people pin their faith
10 fate. and. without doubt, from the
numberleSS illustrations which are re-
corded. disbelievers are led to calculate,
'There is something in it," Many peo-
pie will say that fate decreed Fay
TempletOn to be an actress simply
from the fact that she was
literally born upon the stage. 1t was
at Vicksburg. Miss. Her mother was
leading lady at the theater, and her
father stage manager. One night after
the curtain had fallen an unrecorded
scene was enacted, and Fay TempletOn,
afterwards wife of Harry West, Of the
famous minstrel troupe, was launched
upon her career.

"You have heard" said Colonel La
mont to a representative of the Chicago
Herald, +" how the President and l, after
the public are turned out of the mansion,
draw down blinds and have a high old
time--a regular orgy, in fact. AS for
myself, l never drink, for ] am tee
totalcr, and the President is almost AS
abstemious, lie takes glass OF wine
occasionally and at Official dinners, but
never do under any circumstances or
on any occasion. We work at our desks
until late Mt night sometimes till after
midnight, for the interruptions arc SO
great during the day that business could
not be disposed of unless we did, This
is the only kind of orgy whatever that
may be, we ever see or know anything
about. The President never has wine
upon his private table"
There is an impression abroad that
there is II wine cellar in the White House
kept up by the Government. This is
a very grave error. The Government
furnishes neither eatables nor drinl1ables
to it's public servants.
