quicker method of transit is the
bne desire of the residents on Dayton's
Bluff, The day for the present cars are
gone; they are primitive and behind
hand, and altogether fail to meet the
wants of the district they are Intended
to serve. This is apparent to any one
passing along Seventh street at almost
any hour of the day, but especially OF
an evening when The cars are crowded
TO excess, to the discontinue OF the
passengers and cruelty to the animals
compelled to draw such heavy burdens,

Daniel E. Bandmann, the popular
actor, arrived in st. Paul last evening
from visit to his cattle ranch at Mis-
soula, Mont. 1t is the intention of MIR.
Bandmann to proceed at once TO Lon
don, Eng, where arrangements have
been made for him to open on Aug. g
with ''Dr Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" The
importance attached to this step is
apparent when it is stated that
Richard Mansfield will also produce
the same work in London this season.
There is quite rivalry between the two
actors, and the outcome is difficult to
foresee. The impression created by
Mansfield during his last visit to Lon
don was not very favorable to him as an
actor, but it is claimed that III the forth
coming delineation of ''Dr. Jekyll and
Mir. HYDE he will carry the dramatic
critics with him.
1--WE are at the end of our string"
said Manager p. T. Barr, of the city
railway company, land even if the
council, two weeks hence, should grant
our request for the repeal of tile Scent
ordinance. we would not be able to ac-
complish anything this year. The Sc
curities of the company are owned all
over the United States, and if the state
ment should go abroad that st. Paul
was unable to support a street railway,
it would work more injury to the city
than the failure of bank for 81, Co., 600.
Arguments seem TO be of no avail in
convincing people that not 81 of profit
has been taken out of the earnings of
the road since it was built, but this is a
fact, and we are not in a condition to
warrant our making the concessions
asked of us. 1t is useless to buoy up
the hopes of the people by promising
them increased facilities for Transports
tiOn under existing circumstances, for
we could not make showing sufficient
to induce investors to advance capital
to enable us to meet the Indebtedness
We would be called upon to incur. So
matters will have to remain in Statu
quo so far as this season is concerned,
and we can only look forward to more
promising future to get our bonds on
the market with any assurance that
they will be taken.'
