CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
of Smoke Nuisances---
Against District High Schools.

The committee on manufactures re-
ported to the chamber of commerce yes
terday morning that it had examined
the Edison electric light manner of con-
Stunning smoke, and that it found the
nuisance had been abated about two
thirds, and that when the furnace was
fired up to its utmost, the smoke was
not as bad as that which comes from some
smoke stacks, notably the smokestack of
the court house. This last remark
brought DR.. Day to his feet. so quickly
that it made everybody dizzy. He said
the reason for the smoke at the court
house was to be found in the fact that
they were trying a new kind of coal
from Illinois. -
III. f. Stevens expressed the opinion
that the trouble from smoke was
not due wholly to the construction of
the boilers. 1t depended largely upon
the furnace. BY the proper construction
of the furnaces aud. ehimneys, much
could be accomplished. TO abate the
nuisance.
The committee on the Mississippi
river made a long report. which con-
cluded with the following resolutions,
which were adopted:
Resolved, That our senators and represent

HOUSE OF HOPE CHURCH,
Annual Meeting and Election of
Officers

The annual meeting OF the congrega-
ton of the House of Hope Presbyterian
church was held last evening In the
lecture room of the church. The treas
urer's report showed that s7.S55.0S had
been collected by the church for various
objects and disbursed. The pew rent
ais amounted to S9,5S6.09 Other re-
ceiptS Increased the revenue to 49,
62S.3S. Owing to extra repairs made
on the church 1t was voted to
raise S1,T00 Immediately and settle up
Reports were made by the seasonal
comm;ttees-cOngregational, visitation,
membership, devotional and benevo-
lence-the board of deacons, home Sun
day schools. Steady Streams, Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeayor,
ladies' society, young ladies' foreign
missionary society, Como Villas mission
and Chautauqua circle. In addition to
the treasurer's report Mr.. Bigelow, the
treasurer, gave a schedule of his twenty
years treaSurership of the church,

est connected with the church during
that period.

tatives in congress be- and they hereby-are,
respectfully requested to urge continual and
increased appropriation for the improvement
OF the navigation of the Upper Mississippi
river, to the end that the labors of the United
States engineer corps may not be crippled
and thwarted by lack of adequate means.
Resolved, That the attention of the United
States engineers be called to the invention of
Capt. Edwin Bell for removing bars.
A resolution was introduced by I'll. s.
Fairchild in favor of the establishment
of district High schools in several of
the wards OF the city, which, he said.
had been received from several OF the
teachers in the public schools.
ID. K. NOyes moved that the resolution
be referred to the committee to consider
the matter.
MI. Murray wanted it sent to the
school board for its consideration. If
the plan was carried out it would saddle
an additional expense upon the city of
100000 or 100000.
Mr. SmalIey had doubts as to the
right of the state to tax the people for
the education of pupils in the higher
branches. The poor man should not
be taxed to have the rich mans son;
taught Latin or French. If children
are given good common school edu--
cation it is rea ly about all they can ask.
The country people are satisfied with
common school education. Even the
people of the East are waking up to the
eXtrayagant expenditure of money in
public schools.
The resolution was finally referred to
the committee on statistics.
III. F. Stevens stated that the COM
mittee on legislation found a good deal
of opposition to any scheme for extend
ing the city to the limits of the county.
They were in favor of making separ-
ate county of st. Paul, and were con-
siderfng the matter.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

"Hon. Bardwell Slote'' kept large
audience in 4 roar of laughter during
the entire performance at the Grand
last evening. Although the play is al
most as ancient as the sun. it went with
the zest of Lew production last
night, and the audience seemed to enjoy
the humor and satire of it as thoroughly
as if it had never been seen before. The
play is frightened up with new lines
which have an application to modern
times. The references to the tariff bill
and the Sackville West letter provoked
unlimited merriment. Mr.. Florence
is so thoroughly identified with the
character of Bardwell Slote, and Mrs.
Florence with that of Mrs. Gen. Gill
fory, that it would be presumption
in any one else to assume either role.
Both of these famous stage people are
remarkable for the preservation of their
youthful qualities. They actually seem
to grow younger as the years roll
by, and yet they never played more
spiritedly than they do this season.
Mr.. Florence was downright coltish in
his stage movements last evening, and
brought down the house on frequent
occasions by the agility with which he
waltzed through the performance. The
bill tonight is Our Governor"

MATCHES AND RATS.
A Disastrous Fire the Result on
st. Anthony Hill.

The large frame double dwelling
house at 1872 and 294 Arundel street,
owned by r. G. jefferson and occupied
by Capt. j. ID. Wood, postofice in
spector. and w. E. Mcclure, was badly
damaged by fire at 9 o'clock last night.
The fire originated in small closet on
the ground floor. and is supposed to
bave been caused by rats or mice gnaw-
ing and igniting a quantity of matches
which were stored there. The
fame had gained great Roadway
when discovered, and the family of Mr..
Mcclure, who were in the second story,
were forced to escape by means of
ladder from the windows. To make
matters worse, the alarm. was turned in
from the wrong box, and the fire de-
partment was considerably delayed in
reaching the fire.. The building was
badly burned. the greatest damage
being done in the rear of the first and
second stories and in the roof. The
loss will be about 81 500 on building and
$500 on contents. The insurance will
cover all excepting the household goods

FOR WOMEN ONLY.
A Warning Against Crimes by
Saints and Sinners.

IN dfuluS Against SflMcS ny
Saints and Sinners.
The lecture delivered by DR.. Gene
We've Tucker, of Mortified, under the
auspices of the White Shield league. at
the House of Hope church yesterday
afternoon. drew out large audience,
including representatives from all
classes of society, an indication that the
need of social purity is widely felt.
The subject of the lecture was ''Hered-
among mans inalienable rights is
the right to be we'll born, and
that the legacy of vital force
and character bequeathed by parents to
a child at birth is of Infinitely more
consequence than the legacy of dollars
and cents they may leave him at death.
She illustrated how prenatal influences
operate upon the welfare of an indi-
vidual, dwelling principally Oh the
mothers relation to her offspring dur
ing this period. She laid great stress
Oh the necessity Of the mothers con-
servati0n of physical force, asserting
that there never was such need as at
the present day, righteousness and in
tellect both being in a large measure
the result of perfect physical condi-
tons. She would have the children of
men bred with the same scientific
effort to produce prize stock
that men show in raising the
offspring of animals. She warned
women against certain crimes, prac-
ticed by saint as well as sinner, and
charged them with the sacredness of
maternity, tracing In the disregard of its
sanctity the cause of all crime, insanity.
and those other physical defects that
fill corrective and reform institutions.
At the conclusion of the lecture a
mothers meeting" was announced to
take place at the Gospel Temperance
union rooms next Monday afternoon.
A petition circulated, requesting the
closing at night of all places of business
where women are employed, received
numerous signatures. There is move
ment set afoot by the league to aid I'M
fortunate girls who are dismissed from
the city hospital without means of sup
port or protection. The idea is to pro-
vide retreat for them, and to cooper
ate with the management OF the Chris
tian Woman's Home.

ST. Paul DistiIlers.
"a market for coarse grains is now
fully established in St. Paul. and this is
something we could not claim posi-
lively heretofore. Corn is now in active
demand for local manufacturing
should say 'distilling:' and rye and
barley will soon enter extensively
into. the products Of this city,"
Thus spoke a member of the
board of trade yesterday, and his re-
marks followed a purchase of 10000
bushels of corn by the st. Paul Distil-
ling company for its South st. Paul es-
Enlistment. Rye will soon be used
extensively by the same concern, and
when the malt house of the Hicks Malt
ing company is furnished a large
amount OF barley will find sale at South
st. Paul.
Col. II. G. Hicks and Capt. J. II. San
ders, of the -abOve-named companies,

their entire satisfaction, and that st.
Paul is now in the market with the pro-
ducts of one of the best distilleries ever
built. He explained that the corn trade
of yesterday was only supplementary to
their previous purchases, and that they
would want much greater quantities Of

CAUGHT AT THE CAPITOL.

J. C. Redding, of Window, who was
at the capitol yesterday with Attorney
General Capp, is preparing brief for
the supreme court in what is known as
the st. Paul & Sioux City railroad tax
cases. The evidence given by many
prominent men of the state is very
Voluminous and was taken last winter
before Judge Perkins in st. Paul. He,
together with Judge Severance, tried
the case and held the lands to be tax
able. The case is now before the SUI
preme court and will be watched with a
great deal of interest by the people OF
the southwestern bart of the state, as
large tract of land is involved. Actual
settlers think that they are unjusty
forced to pay double taxation because
of these lands escaping taxation.
