THE POETS PLAN OF SPRING.

Within the past month there have been
kindly forerunners of the beauty of the
coming spring, messengers borne on
gentle winds, and clothed in budding
boughs, but they were only messengers,
heralds of the kindly maiden, fieecy and
radiant, with sunshining spells, the
spray of vaporous clouds to clothe the
earth in foliage of green, and the power
of touching Minnehaha with the magic
of her power to awake the singing falls
to music once again. This glorious
maiden, bursting with glad song, came
to us yesterday. With the sun in its
Journey from the golden Orient did she
gamboI to our domains from the plains;
on zephyrouS breezes was she borne,
and in earth and sea and sky was the
ineXpressible joy conveyed that the
spring had come in earnest once
again. The sick took on a hopefuller
mood. The healthy walked with
brisker step. The tramp took up his
corner once again, and summed and
summed himself and found delight. All
people took on a gayer, pleasanter
mood and in every heart was the an
them sung, this coming of spring is
thing that's good indeed.

ADECREAsE in EARNINGS.
The Cause of the Falling Off in
MANY Roads.


Many Roads.
The statements made by railroads
continue to show decline in earnings.
OF those furnished last Saturday, two
showed an increase and nine showed
loss. Those recording an increase in
earnings were both Southern roads. The
dizziness of the iron industry and the
falling off in the demand for coal caused
a loss, says the Chicago Times, of over
90 per cent for the Columbia, Hooking
Valley & Toledo. The Pittsburg d
Western, which was supposed to be do
ing very we'll, lost nearly quarter for
March, while the Ohio q Missi ssippi, in
the Central district, was almost 30 per
cent behindhand. The Lake Erie IL
Western, under very much the
same conditions, loses almost a
quarter. The Detroit. Lansing 81
Northern has done little business, the
loss being almost 80 per cent for March,
and the Chicago d West Michigan is
over 10 per cent behind. The protege
of the Atchison, the California South
ern, seems to have had sudden parayl-
sis of progress also. But the unfavOr-
able character of the comparisons is not
absolutely universal. The Lake Shore
earnings are said to show an increase.
The southern railroads are certainly do
ing we'll in comparison. The North
ern Pacific is making substantial gains,
and so are few roads here and there,
where special influences are at work.
1t should be remembered that the rush
of traffic year ago was enormous, and
that the rush continued up to the middle
of April. The interstate commerce
law went into effect April 5, but rates,
in many instances, were not changed
from the old basis for week subse--
quent to that date. 1t may be assumed
that comparisons will be more favorable
hereafter.

MUsIC's WIZARD REALM
Opened by the Magic Touch and
Inspiration of Blind Artist.

A most cultured and distinguished
audience, and one large enough to fill
the Grand opera house, was the style in
which Minneapolis did honor yesterday
to Edward B. Perry, as famous pianist
as America has so far produced, his per-
sonality being made all the more inter
eSting to the general public from the
pathetic fact that he is totally blind.
With all the sturdy independence SO
characteristic of this class of people, MIR.
Perry asks for no sympathy on this
score, nor has he any ambition TO
be looked upon as blind musical
prodigy, but simply to be taken at his
worth as an artist; only that and moth
ing more. He introduced in his RE
at that, when he advanced to the foot
lights. a step or two from the instrrl-
ment, and prior to playing each number
of the programme, explained, OF rather
interpreted, the inspiration from which
the composer produced the work in
question. 1t added largely to the in
telligent appreciation of the people, the
majority of whom are all at sea
when they read of the barcarolle, by
RubenStein, or the gavOtte, by SllaS.
Edward B. Perry is charming player,
poetic in the extreme III passages,O of
tender emotion and movements of
fancy. light and airy: especially was
this notable in the little DREAM trifie
from Schumann, which he gave as an
encore and which was most exquisitely
played. His programme included
numbers from Chopin, Rubenstein,
Schubert, List and Silas, so it
is easy to see what varied command
he has in the wizard world of music
The concert was agreeably varied by
the presence of the Carol club COM
posed of Mrs. Grosskoph.and the Misses
May, Mckay, and Sprague. They sang
the Legends" by Mohring and were
vociferously applauded. In their second
appearance they rendered that dear old
song that will ALWAYS be welcomed ev-
erywhere, annie Laurie" and had to
repeat part of it for the encore. Mr..
Perry appeared here under the auspices
of Nathan Ford, of st. Paul. 1t was his
first appearance here. but he may feel
assured of a royal welcome should he
come next season or at any other time,
for music such as he gives is appre-
ciated by the people of this city.

Chins From the Ties.

The Milwaukee & st. Paul and Chicago &
Northwestern railroads give notice that, tax
ing effect April 20, coal from Eastern terri
tory to prorating points on their lines, ex-
cept the Milwaukee group, will be excluded
from any arrangements now existing be-
tween them and connecting lines. This will
make material increase in the coal rates
from Eastern points through to Northwestern
and Western points on those lines, but does
not affect rates to or from Chicago. The
Burlington will continue prorating arrange
ments in spite Of the action by the other
roads.
Advices from Iowa are to the effect that the
Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul will build
line this season from Spencer to Sioux City,
and probably follow it up with other extern
sions in that state. 1t is supposed that the
branch will leave the main line just west of
the Sioux river and strike southwest through
.O'Brien county, crossing the Illinois Central
at Marcus, thence down the west FORK of the
Little Sioux river to a junction with the Ma
nilla branch.
The managers of the Wisconsin Central ex-
pect to very soon begin the regular monthly
publication of gross and net earnings. This
will give bond and stockholders, and others,
an idea of what the company is actually do
ing, and its progress can be more accurately
gagged.

The Committees Chosen.
There was a large attendance at the
meeting last evening at Morgan Post
hall of the committees appointed by the
various Grand Army posts in the city to
make arrangements for Memorial day.
The principal business of the meeting,
outside of the appointing of committees,
was to decide whether to hold the Serv-
ices in Layman's cemetery, as has been
done heretofore, or to hold them in some
public hall in the afternoon. This queS-
ton created quite discussion,
and 1t was finally decided by a vote of
l3 to s to decorate the graves of the
various cemeteries in the morning and
then to hold the general parade and the
services IN some hall in the afternoon.
Secretary Byron offered the Exposition
building and Manager Sterling tend
cred the Peoples theater from noon
until o'clock on Memorial Day. 1t
was decided to look over the ground
before accepting either proposition.
The following committees were named:
Grand Marshal-H. 4. Blaisdell, to appoint
his assistants
Flowers-P. ii. Hughes, L. Sage and G. F.
Fassett.
Transportation-J. NJ. Hoover, II. c. Whit
ney and George E. Clark.
Music-W. T. B. Mcintyre, C. W. Curtis
and Thomas Gibson.

man Vogh.
Decoration of Graves-Washingto Pierce,
G. w. Coburn and Louis Maish.
Speakers-W. G. Byron, Robert Wilson and
NJ. D. Corkey.
Finance-W. G. Byron, W. NJ. Bracket and
Louis Maish.
All subcommittee are expected to
report back to the general committee
before taking final action on anything.
1t decided that instead of having one
long address at the general services it
would be better to have two short ones.
Each post in the city was requested to
send in list of members who have died
during the past year.

FORGOT HIS MANNERS.
A Fireman's Bravery That Went
UnreWarGed.


Frank Peterson, one of the firemen at
the Third street engine house, has all
the elements of a hero in him, and his
actions yesterday demonstrated his
bravery. He was standing in front OF
the engine house late in the afternoon,
with one or two other firemen, when
runaway came tearing up Third street.
NicOllet avenue crossing was crowded
at the time, and at the rate the horse
was going they could not have escaped
had the brute net been stopped.
Peterson took in the situation at
glance, and as the horse and buggy
passed the engine house sprang into the
middle of the muddy street and graSped
the frightened animal by the bride.
The horse plunged and struggled and
endeavored to shake Peterson off, but
failed. Peterson was dragged through
the mud for about 100 feet, but finally
succeeded in stopping the animal. The
fireman was covered with mud from
head to foot, but as the crowd cheered
his brave act his face redeemed under
the mud. The owner of the horse and
buggy, Mr. Wilson, residing out on
Nicollet avenue, did not appear to think
that the fireman had done anything UNI
usual in stopping the horse and saving
some one from being killed, and never
even said '"Ihank you" to the fireman.

MERRY-MINDED MAsoNs
Feast and Toast at Gathering of
Their Order.

Their Order.
Six handsomely decorated tables,
laden down with all the delicacieS in
and out of season, Ornamented with
flowers set in beautiful vases of cut
glass, of silverware and gold, present
ing vision OF loneliness, changed the
general scholastic look of Curtiss hall
last night into a scene that
would have set gourmand
into a state of raviShing delight.
The occasion was the elegant banquet
given by the Mystic Shrine Order of
Masons, the highest commandery in
that iIlustrious secret order. The ban
quet followed a comforting of degrees,
held in the Zuhrah temple, and was
partaken of by ladies as well as gentle
men. Three st. Paul gentlemen, Messrs.
Flourneu, Hall and Williamson, were
present as guests. John A. SchIener
presided in an efficient and happy man
ner, and the banquet itself was a
grand success, the pleasures of the table
musical programme performed by the
DAM orchestra. When the feast of
physical enjoyment was over, there COM
menced the flow of reason. Speeches
were made by r. L. Tourney, r. G.
Evans. Hector Baxter, Weed Monroe.
N. f. Lightner and L. E. Byrnes. Hec-
tor Baxter made the hit OF the evening
and when he sat down every lady pres
ent voted him trump. His eulogy of
the weaker but fairer sex was
a masterpiece of eloquent wording.
Once again tej tell the pretty story from
English history of Thomas A. Beckett
and his sweetheart, who was herself a
Mystic Shriner, one of the very few
women who ever became Masons and
who followed Thomas home and found
him, though all she knew of the language
was his name. From this the speaker
painted all the virtues and the beauties
of the character Of woman, and said he
only wished their presence could
always grace bhe assemblies of
Masons. Tim Byrnes gracefully
replied for the fair sex, though he dep
recated his power to do so with any jus
tice to such graceful clients. His re-
marks were few, but pointed and suita-
BILE to the occasion. After the banquet
was all over some of the ladies and gen
tlemen INDUCED in dancing, few of
the latter smoked, and all had a general
social time. Altogether the event may
be characterized as very pleasant
event.
