WooLLEY INDoRsED.
The Murphy Club Attack Brings
His Friends to the Front.

If there was any need of an indorse-
ment to show the esteem in which John
G. Woolley and his temperance work
in Minneapolis is held, the meeting in
the hall in the Travis block last even
ing was sufficient indication. The at
tack of the Murphy club upon
him through the Tribune evidently
had aroused great deal of sympathy
for him, which only needed occasion
for hearty demonstration. The address
of the evening, from the awful Ex-
amples," all breathed love and respect
for Brother Woolely. When Mr.. Woolley
appeared on the platform he was
greeted with prolonged applause.
"How do you think the Tribune likes
that, John?" put in the Rev.
Sidney Williams. This called out
another round of applause. Mr.. Wooley
disposed of the difficulty that had
arisen in few very words of the mildest
and klndliest nature possible. A great
many signed the Murphy pledge, he
said, mentally drawing a line through
the words $50 help me God" He had
done this himself, and he believed
that the present attitude of the
Murphy club towards him, be-
cause of his religious views,
was a chicken of his own come home to
roost. He defined his politics by saying
that he is with the party that means to
throttle the rum devil. The audience
was large one, and a motion to re-
quest the people of Faribault to spare
Mr.. Woolley to Minneapolis for little
while longer was passed with unani-

The youth at the head of the Mime

be good idea if somebody would put
three or four bent pms in the chair of
the Evening Picayune." AS it is gen.

this suggestion is appalling.
Here is studied insult to st. Paul.
The Minneapolis Tribune says that
Thursday, in all the large cities Of
America, benefit performances for the
actors relief fund were given. No such
performance was given at a st. Paul

A CHANCE FOR LIGHT.

In the midst of the present talk and
agitation concerning the single tax on
land values, Henry George is coming to
elucidate and elaborate his theories of
this great economic question. While he
is regarded IN many quarters as revo-
lutiOnist, extremist and almost crank,
Henry George has secured a recognized
place among the thinkers, and espe-
ciaily among the economists of the
times, and what he says cannot fail to
be of interest. AS matter of mere in
formation, the GLOBE advises the public
to hear him, on Tuesday next, or to read
carefully the printed reports OF his ad-
dress. A knowledge of the single tax
system will become absolutely neces
sary, if the plan is to come up for public
discussion in Minnesota, as now
threatens. To intelligently aid or to
intelligently combat the system requires
a knowledge of it; and, if put in the con-
fessioDal, nine out of every ten business
men of Minneapolis would admit they
knew almost nothing of the subject. 1t
seems conceded that. no matter what
showing is made, the present legis-
lature will not and cannot legislate on
the subject, but it is one of the topics of
the times, and should at least be under
stood. Even as intelligent and far
seeing body as our board of trade con-
fessed in its report, that it was almost
totally without knowledge of the single
tax theory.
The local organization banded to Sc
cure the adoption of the system in Min
nesota is daily circulating papers ask
ing signatures to petition to the legis-
lature to submit all amendment in the
line of the single tax plan. 1t is signed
and rejected, respectively, by men who
do not understand it, and who have had
neither time nor opportunity to study
it, SO that it is battle in the dark Oh
both sides.
Henry George is regarded as an ex-
tremist on this question, even by the
local single tax men. His views are
more radical than even they will in
dorse, but it is the same general theory,
after all, and knowledge of it should
be part of mans practical and polit-
ical education.

Council Committee wrestling
With the Poundmasters.
The special committee, consisting of
one alderman from each ward. who
were appointed to decide how many
poundmasters were needed. and to map
out their respective districts, met last
evening. All the wards were repre-
sented, with the exception of the Fourth
and Eleventh, the members present be-
ing Aldermen Vogt, Burrows. Adams.
Billings, Thompson. Flatten. Brazie.
Hunter, BrueShaber, Ensted and
Farnsworth. After considerable dis
cussion it was decided to
have seven poundmasters ard to divide
the city into districts as follows: The
East side is divided into two districts by
a line beginning at the river and follow
ing Third avenue northeast to Broad
way, and thence on Broadway to the
city limits; the Third and Tenth wards
make up the Third district: the Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth wards. the Fourth dis
trict; the Seventh and Eleventh wards,
the Fifth district: the Eighth and Thir-
teenth wards, the Sixth district, and the
Twelfth ward the Seventh district.
A motion was then made by Aid.
Thompson that the poundmasters be
paid $500 per annum, which was. how
ever amended by Aid. Billings, who
considered that S400 was sufficient salary
for about five months work. Finally
after considerable discussion the amend
ment was voted down by vote of 9 to-
and the motion making the salary $500

j. j. Middleton and A. McDermid,
real estate men, had war of words at
the Boston block Thursday afternoon
over the sale of some lots located in what
is called "Sandy Lake Addition to New
Boston," Middleton claims that the ad
dition in question is north of Anoka and
forty miles from the city, whereas it
was represented as adjoining North
Minneapolis. 1t appears there are two
Sandy lakes, and it is charged that the
similarity of the name was utilized to
gull innocent purchasers, of which
there are said TO be quite many. The
land of which the lots sold is said to be
a part is located in the southwest quar-
ter of the southwest quarter of
section So, town "a, range "a west,
and was plated in the name of Levi Fl.
Copley. The lots have been held at
$500, which is about the value OF lots in
the vicinity of New Boston, but are said
to be worth not over SO, as
they are located in wild land.
Among those said to have
been victimized are j. J. Middleton.
who denounced McDermid as swind-
Ter, j. B. Bronillette and L. A. Armeau,
of the firm of Bronillette. Armeau &

The Water Works Department
Now on the Ragged Edge.
Now that the council committee on
water works has been appointed, that
department is to be overhauled, and
the committee will meet for that pur-
pose this afternoon. 1t is altogether
probable that Matt Walsh. the super
visor, will be dropped out, and S.
w. Farnam, once member of the
water board, and w. H. johnson,
who was formerly superintendent of
the water works, are candidates for the
position. Mr. Walsh, however, has
been working to be retained, and may.
stay. 1t is likely that Frank T. Moody
will remain as register. w. w. Red
field, the engineer, will also remain. it
is thought. 1t is likely that the clerical
departments of the supervisor and reg
lister will be consolidated. There are
at present five subordinate positions
connected with each of these depart
ments at present. The twelve men en-
ployed at the pumping stations, and the
street force Of inspectors under William

"Water Works Billy" because Of his
seventeen years service in the depart

ANOTHER HOTEL.
The Hotel Brunswick Leased by
ST. Paul Parties.

The Hotel Brunswick fhe remodeled
Clark house) was yesterday leased to
Hugh Dunno and William l.. Minton,
of st. Paul, for term of five years, by
G. Elwood Brown, the proprietor,
at rental of $1,000 year.
The lessees will take possession
at once and expect to open the
house to the public by Feb. 1. The
house has been refitted and reinodeled
completely, and an addition has been
built, which gives the hotel 100 sleeping
rooms, spacious office and dining
room. The bar and billiard room has
been leased to Thomas Moore. The
eight store rooms in the building have
been retained by Mr.. Brown for rental,
who has leased four of them, the corner
store room being yesterday leased to
w. j. Jungen, to be occupied by cigar
store. 1t is not yet decided whether
John O'Hair, who has been identified
with the Clark house for so many years,
is to be retained by the new manage
ment of the hotel or not.

Heavily Coated.

Patrolman George Rivere was walking
on Nicollet avenue, near First street,
last evening when he saw strange
looking figure coming toward him. The
figure turned out to be man possibly
five feet high and nearly as ''tall
around" As he seemed to be all
wrapped up in overcoats Rivere told
him to halt. Instead of doing so the
fellow started to run. The officer soon
overlook him and walked him up to
police headquarters. where he gave the
name of Jacob Hefty. Then he began
to remove the coats. First came a
heavy dogskin, then a coonskin and
finally handsome seal coat, the three
weighing something like thirty pounds.
Hefty said that man named Schmidt
had given him the coats, but as he. was
seen to come out Of Van Strum's store,
opposite police headquarters, with
them, he was locked up to await an in
vestigation. ~ -

s'It's an ill wind that blows nobody
good," said well-dressed, active-look-
ing young business man the other day.
"Now. it may sound strange to you, but
the robbery of Stewards body has been
of great benefit to me and a great many
other people whom could name."
'In what way?' inquired the friend
to whom the remark was addressed.
''Well, it opened up an entirely new
line OF business and created demand
for goods in quarter that l had never
thought of before. You know l manu-
facture electric watch clocks designed
buildings where watchmen are en-
ployed. Well, ever since the Stewart
grave robbery there has been demand
for those watch clocks in every part OF
the country for use in cemeteries. The
grave of every rich man or public man
is protected In some such way, and |
could tell you of graves that are watched
night and day by private Watchmen.
"There's Vanderbilt'S grave, for in
stance, down to the big mausOleum on
Staten Island. / sold them two of my
electrical clocks, one of which is placed
inside the tomb and the other outside OF
it. Every fifteen minutes each clock is
visited by PinkertOn detective. two of
whom are constantly OIL guard. One of
these detectives patrols outside the
tomb, while the other is locked in and
sits behind the iron bars with loaded
repeating rifle on his knees ready for
instant use. 1t would be next to i'm
possible for any robber to get away with
the remains of William II. Vanderbilt
so long as the tomb is protected as it is
now. The Pinkerton men are hired by
the year, and there is quite little col

Staten Island,very near the mausoleum.

THE NEW BROOM
Making Clean Sweep at Police
Headquarters.

Headquarters.
The work of remodeling police head
quarters was begun yesterday, and Mon
day morning will see the change COM
plete. Mayor Babb was sitting in his
private Office during the morning at
taching his signature to some official
papers, when suddenly some plaster fell
by his side, and a second later a man
burst through the wall. pickaxe in hand,
and told him to get out, as the work OF
changing the may or's Office into the Of
flee of the superintendent of police was
in progress. Mayor Babb retreated at
once, and the rest of the day held forth
in the outer office.
Charles Ames, who officiated as May
or AmeS' secretary, retired from public
life yesterday morning and gave way to
Mai. Norton, who now occupies the
position of police clerk and mayors
secretary. He will have his office in
the present telephone room at police
Headquarters. No other changes were
made, but it is probable that at the
meeting of the commission Monday
morning, several members of the force
will be relegated to private life. A
number of policemen are among those
marked for slaughter. 1t is not i'm
probable that several new patrOlmen
may be put on, as now there are certain
portions of the city which are wholly
without police protection.
The old patrol wagon was taken to
the repair shops yesterday morning and
the new one put OH at the central sta
ton. 1t is a beauty. and vast i'm
provement over the old one. 1t is
quite certain that as soon as spring
opens the old wagon will be sent to the
East side, where patrol station will be
established. Later on one will be put
Oh at the North station. After all the
changes are completed. roll call will be
at the central lookup, instead of at the
city hall, as at present.

BUILDING AND LOANS.
A Law to Make Them Subject to
Examin alton.

The new building and loan associa-
ton law, to be passed on by the legisla-
ture this winter, is generally considered
one of the most important matters that
body will have before it. The law, as
it stands at present, is most liberal
one, and places little OF no restriction
upon the associations, which have
sprung up with mushroOm-!ike rapidlty
during the past year. MANY of the as
sOciatiOns have vast sums of money in
vested in them, mainly by poor persons
or people in moderate circumstances,
and the feeling is gaining ground all
the time that these depositors, for such
they really are, should have some sort
of protection. Among the men who
are most active in advocating protective
measures are the officers of some Of the
companies, who are anxious that the
new associations, which are using plans
much changed from the old companies,
should be subjected to the same re-
strictions that any other investment
company. The gentlemen who feel
this way are ''old line" men, while the
''neW line" mel are anxious to have
law passed which will make all build
ing and loan associations subject to ex-
aminations, the same as banks and in
vestment companies. There will be
veriety of bills presented to the leglsla-
