kERR'S SEWER PLAN.
He Thinks the Committee Should
Know What Is Going On.

LAS party measure l would not ap-
prove the proposed plan of sewer SUI
perlntendent," said Aid. John Kerr, yes
terday, "but as matter of great public
necessity am convinced it is the right
thing to do. am going to introduce my
ordinance at Fridays meeting and let
it stand or fall on it's merits" The or
dlnance, which has OccaSioned SO much
discussion, is as follows:
The committee on sewers of the city
council, in connection with the city en-
gineer. shall have immediate control
and management of everything pertain
ing TO the system of sewers and drain
age in the city of Minneapolis. They
shall appoint ali such officers and EN-
plOyes as they may deem necessary, and
do all things which may be necessary
for the proper maintenance or extension
of the system of sewers in said city, sub
Ject to the confirmation of the city coun-
Gil.
THE city engineer shall do such pre-
Hmlnary work therein as is now pro-
vided for by charter. There shall also
be appointed a proper person as super
lntendent of sewers, who shall have the
general supervision of the work under
the direction of said committee on
sewers and said city engineer, both i'll
the care and maintenance of sewers in
use, and in the construction of such new
sewers as may be ordered by the city
council. He shall be responsible for all
property entrusted to his care, and see
that all labor performed and all mate
rlalS furnished for said sewers are of
the kind and quality required by said
committee on sewers and said city en-
gineer. He shall have general charge
OF all persons employed by said commit
tee and city engineer, and keep proper
record of time and rate of compenSa-
ton. lie shall not be interested in any
JOB OF contract, or in any piece of work
pertaining to said sewers, and shall
give such a bond as may be prescribed
by the city council for the faithful per-
formance of his Duties"
did not the city attorney say this
contlicted with the charter?"
"Yes, he said it took prerogatives
from the city engineer, but did not say
how it did. He proposed an ordinance
on the same subject, but it is even
stronger than this"
The other ordinance creates Superin-
tendent of labor and places him in
charge of all work of public improve
ment.
81 look on this ordinance (Smith's) as
creating an absolute One-man power"
continued Aid. Kerr, land would not
support it. My plan is simply to give
the sewer committee charge of its own
department, so it may know what is
going Oh and how much it is costing.
The city engineer has too much to do as
it is. No, the Democratic caucus has
not passed on this ordinance. 1t should
go through on its merits, and 1 think
some of the Republicans will vote
for if -

AMONG THE MILITARY.

Col. P. 81. Gibbons has addressed a
letter to the GLOBE asking who Kate
Reddy is. 1t is supposed from this that
the gentleman is near-sighted, and has
read the bills advertising Kate Eddy,
the spiritualistic medium, incorrectly.
Maj. Gen. Lew Harrison has returned
from California much improved in
health, his delicate constitution having
evidently been strengthened by his
sojourn at the Golden Gate.
Lieut.. Col. l.. D. Mclean, who pre-
sides over the destinies of the box Office
at the Peoples theater, was last even
ing asked: "What kind of show is
Pinafore?" He sold balcony ticket,
when he gave the information that it
was an operatic version of 'Uncle
Toms Cabin"
Gen. William Henry Eustis will not
be obliged to call convention to order
to which he is not a delegate-not this
year.
Capt. A. n. Jordan returned from a
trip through the South just in time to
enjoy the last snow storm of the season.

REVIVED AND ENJOYED.
Loca! Talent Presents "Pinafore'
Quite Successfully


The revival of ''Pinafore" at the Peo-
pies theater by local talent drew out an
audience that fairly filled the house.
The rise Of the curtain discovered an
admirable stage setting, probably the
best ever seen here, for that delightful
but time-WOrn opera. Considering all
those facts to be taken in connection
with an amateur company and first
night, the opera went Off exceedingly
well. The musical part was far superior
to the dramatic work, which was stiff and
hesitating, but which will improve as
the week grows. There was an uncer-
tainty that was the result of stage
nervousness. but which will disappear
with practice. The principal drawback
was in the fact that the audience was
largely composed of friends of the per-
formers and they insisted on an encore
to everything, so that it was long after
IL o'clock before the performance
ended. If this is to be the case the
singers should arrange certain encore
parts so as not to be compelled to sing
over the entire part.
The individual roles were well taken.
Among the ladies, Miss Evelyn Burt, as
Buttercup, was the most taking and
was a charming piece of work all
around. Miss Williams sang the part
of Josephine quite artistically and Miss
Olive Fremstad made a pretty picture
as Hebe. Prof. Porter displayed the
best voice as Capt. Corcoran, Mr.. Heath's
Rackstraw being splendid, from a
musical standpoint, though his play
ing was marred by nervousness. The
Sir Joseph of Mr.. Harkins was fair all
around without being remarkable. f.
M. Howard was good as Dick Deadeye,
and E. 2. Loye quite pleasing as Bob
stay.
Undoubtedly the opera will go off more
smoothly and successfully tonight and
improve steadily as the week progresses.
''Pinafore" still retains its charm and is
heard with as much pleasure as ever.

DISCUSSING DRINK.
Civilization Is Downing Intemper-
ance--MinisteriaIS Symposiums.

At the meeting Of the liberal clergy
men yesterday morning Rev. l.. G.
Powers read an interesting paper on
"SOcial Revolution and Temperance"
The complicated machinery of the pres
ent day and the advanced civilization
of the present century were doing much
TO prevent drunkenness, he said, as no
one would employ drinking man to
run ali engine. Our great men are no
longer drinking men as they were in
older times, for society is not quite so
ready to receive drinking man as it
was fifty or 100 years ago. Then the art
of knowing how to spend money to the
best advantage instead of letting it
go for drink is just being learned and
is doing much to drive out intemper-
ance. A discussion followed. in which
Rabbi IliOwizi said that in his opinion
bad cooking and unpleasant homes did
much toward driving men to drink.
Rev. DR.. Tuttle thought the only way
to rid the world of intemperance was to
totally Danish liquor. He wanted to see
every drop of the stuff destroyed, but
as this could not be done, he would like
TO see high license.
THE METHoDISTS.
Rev. n. w. Jordan addressed the
Methodist ministers yesterday afternoon
on proper Amusements for the Fam
ily." Cards allowed in the family were
hurtful, he said, as in nine cases out of
ten it led the children to gambling. He
condemned theaters, base ball, and the
like, and thought there would be less
trouble If children were taught to play
authors, chess and checkers more.
Music was also a good thing to keep the
boys at home, and he favored the idea
of having piano and other musical in
struments in every home.

Open Air Concerts.

There is far prospect that Mime
neapOlis people will be favored with a
series of open air concerts this summer
at Central park. Prof. Frank Danz,
passing petition around for contribu-
tionS for the purpose, and the situation
looks very favorable. Last year there
were no concerts and the music-loving
fraternity were at loss for amusement on
the pleasant summer evenings. The
gatherings at the park during the con-
certs in 1886 were very large, and give
reason to the belief that they were
highly appreciated and that the public
demands such amusement for recrea-
tion. 1t is hoped that all interested in
concerts will contribute literally, as a
sufficient amount has got to be guaran-
teed.

AGED BUT AGREEABLE.
"Over the Garden Wall" Plays to
a LARGE I'll HOuSa-ThaaferN Notes

"OVer the Garden Wall" Plays to
a Large House-Theater Notes.
Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Knight opened
their engagement to large house at
the Grand Opera house last night.
''Over the Garden WALL" that familiar
and rollicking farce, was the bill, and it
was given with a dash and vim that
brought out all the enthusiasm
OF the audience. Mr.. Knight, as
a German dialect comedian, stands
pre-eminent for artistic work, and he is
ably seconded by his wife, most
charming vocalist. John Dyllyn, actor
and singer, is member Of the COM
pany, and his songs were heartily Ell
cored. The engagement will be con-
tinued two nights, with Wednesday
matinee.
Commencing Thursday evening and
continuing for the balance of the week,
Sanger's company, in the well-known
farcical concert, ''The Bunch of Keys. :"
will hold the boards of the Grand. The
original cast will present the play, and
new specialties will be introduced.
w. B. Gross, representing Robert
Mantell, the dramatic actor, is in the
city arranging for the production of
''Morbar," picturesque drama, with
Mr.. Mantell in the leading role.
The great sale of She by the book
sellers is phenomenal. The dramatic
version at the Grand next week is one
of the novelties of the season, and the
scenery is said to be most beautiful.
The Peoples theater will give ben
eft May 10 to the French residents of
Northeast Minneapolis to aid them to
raise funds to defray the expenses of
delegates to the French national con-
vention at Nashua. N. H., in June.
q. w. Paige made a great hit in his
rendition of the part of the second loafer
in the production of ''The Drunkard' at

GROWING WEARY OVER 1T.
The Board of Trade Resolutions
on the Slow PostofIice Work.

ON SLOW 1-OSIOIIce w Oth.
At the meeting of the board of trade
yesterday morning the following reSolu-
ton, introduced by Maj. Bassett, was
unanimously adopted: Whereas, The
federal government did some four or
five years ago make an appropriation to
build in this city pOstotfice building
for the better accommodation of the
rapidly increasing business; and
whereas, as about three years have
passed away since the building then oc
cupied as pOStotfice was destroyed by
fire, forcing the said office into other
and more incOnvenient quarters, with
insufficient room, badly lighted and
ventilated; and whereas, three years
has already been spent in the construc-
tion of the said building, which might
have been completed, in the opinion OF
this board, in one year, and thereby
saved large sum paid for rent, and the
Office had comfortable quarters and
the people better service; and
whereas, for the last three
years, during the time work has
nominally been in progress the two
streets opposite the new building have
been obstructed by material used in the
building, greatly to the annoyance of
the business transacted thereon, and
endangering the lives of people who
use the said streets, ana III the Judg-
ment of this board should the work be
continued in the same manner at least
two years more will pass away before
the building will be fit for use;
Now, therefore, we,aS members of the
board of trade and citizens of the city
OF Minneapolis, desire to say that in
our opinion such delays in the construc-
tiOn of said building are entirely mex
cusable, if not criminal, and some per-
son or persons are responsible for the
inconvenience we are subjected to for
the want of the use of the building and
the expense to which the government is
subjected; and, be it further
Resolved, That copy of these reso-
lutions be forwarded to our senators
and members with an urgent request
that they call the attention of the proper
officers to the subject, with a view of
having this work pushed to a speedy
completion.
The recent article in the Evening
Journal i'll answer to an article in Har-
per's Magazine, in relation to Minneap-
oils real estate, was considered so in
correct that the matter was referred to
the executive committee, who will in
Vestigate.
The board adjourned to meet here
after the first Monday of each month
until October. Special meetings may,
however, be called by the president.

LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.
The Police Will Look Into a Hos
pital Affair.

A few days ago two women, claiming
to be residents of Minneapolis and mem
bers of the church of the Immaculate
Conception, visited the Catholic orphan
asylum at st. Paul and informed Mother
Josephine that they wanted to adopt
one child each. They told a very
plausible story, and finally secured two
girl babies, one five months and the other
seven months of age. Before leaving
the home they promised that as soon
as they returned to Minneapolis they
would have Father McGolrick write to
the mother superior, telling her that
everything was all right. They were
given the children on this condition.
The mother up to yesterday morning
had received no letter, and becoming
suspicious, placed the matter in the
hands of the Minneapolis police, who
found the children yesterday and re-
turned them to the Orphans home. The
affair will be fully investigated.

Lively Times Forecast for TO-Day's
* Republican Convention.

The Republicans of Hennepin county
will assemble in convention this morn
ing to choose delegates to the state and
district conventions. Though it will be
what is usually considered an important
convention, there are certain elements
which go to make this one particu-
larly lively, if not sensational, one. If
half of the stories they relate upon
each other are true, the Re-
publican caucusses of Saturday
night were one mass of corruption
and the new law utterly disregarded. A
great amount of bitterness was engen-
dered, and all of it will crop out in force
today. Half dozen of the oratolical
shOulder-hitterS of the party are donning
their war paint and coming over
speeches calculated to knock their
opponents into the middle of next week.
The struggle is purely per-
sonal one; that is to say, moth
ing vital is involved, but one
might Judge, from the fierce language
and bitter invectiVe that the life and
welfare of the nation depends upon the
outcome of tO-day'S convention. AS the
principal event of the caucuses was the
strife between w. II. Eustis and r. B.
Langdon, in the Sixth precinct of the
Fourth ward, that struggle has since
been the principal topic of conversa-
ton. 1t is charged by the anti-EuStis
men that the redoubted William Henry
packed the caucus with colOred voters
from other precincts, which is misde-
meanor under the new law. 1t is said
EuStic cOrralled the West hotel walters,
loaded 'em down with EuStiS ballots,
and fired them into the caucus until the
opposition was showed under. The
EuStiS wing prOnounceS this a base
canard, and solemnly AYERS these col
Ored voters all live in the Sixth precinct
and are entitled to vote there. 1t is
more than likely that conteSting dele
CATION will appear to-day and clamor
for admission.
The anti-Blaine people have begun to
loom up in their strength and denounce
the methods by which the Blainiacs
achieved their sweeping victory"
They declare the failure to call many of
the caucuSeS was intentional, it being
understood all the time the Blaine crowd
was to show up and elect the delegates.
1t is also asserted that the ''victory'' is
not so sweeping, after all, and when
the country districts came in and all
noses are counted, the Blaine henchmen
will have to struggle hard for major
ity. The Langdon and Smith men are
inclined to refer Sneeringly and with
withering sarcasm to the ''EustiS vic
tory" all of which preSageS some de-
Velopment to-day. 1t is conceded it will
be red-hot convention, being full of
impassioned oratory, and that it will be
good to be there.

A NOVEL SCHEME.
An Elevated Electric Railroad
With Curious Route.


At the meeting of the council commit
tee on ordinances yesterday communi-
cation was received from the Enos
Electric Railway company asking for
the passage of an ordinance for right
Of-way from the intersection of Division

cussed.
The strikers from Shotwe!l, Clerihew
& Lothman's turned out in full force
yesterday afternoon. The grievance
committee had no special news to re-
port. One of the girls claimed that
man who asked for admission was
cutter employed by the firm, and that
he came to propose measures of arbitra-
ton. He was not admitted to the meet
ing, but held a conference with the
chairman outside, as the result of which
a special meeting is announced for
Wednesday afternoon. 1t is whispered
that the firm will send some one
who will be authorized to settle the
matter. The schedule of prices again
came up for discussion, the girls stub
bornly refusing to change their de-
man s. A few finiShers and others
who did not walk out with the strikers
might be noticed among the crowd yes
were put on machine work when the
others left, and, finding there was no
money in it, they concluded to join the
strikers, One of them said: ''You just
ought to see how clean the shop is now.
It's been painted and kalsomined, the
windows all shined up and new blinds
put on: It'll be fine place to work in
after this"
! Several prominent K. of L. men were
present and spoke in favor of the new
boarding home, not urging that the
girls take up the matter now, but pro-
posing it for future consideration. Co
operation was long and earnestly dis
cussed. 1t seems that organized labor
could furnish capital to start cooper
ative overall factory, by this means CIV
ing the girls work, and the demand for
such goods among the laboring element
would supply ample patronage. The
girls were favOrably impressed by the
proposition, but preferred to take no
definite action in the matter until after
Wednesdays meeting.
Resolutions rendering financial aid
from the Teamsters' Protective associa-
ton were read and approved. After
the usual unanimous pledge to stand by
each other till the end, the meeting adj
jOurned until Wednesday at D. m.

evening to make some changes'in the

to make arrangements for securing
speakers to address the club on the
issues of the day. The secretary was
instructed to procure a transparency
