AMEND THE LAW.

The position of affairs regarding the
Williams municipal court bill is ex-
tremely funny. The lawyers are in
hopeless Wrangle over the case, but it
seems as though they were not the only
ones to be considered in the matter.
The general public, and more especially
the Wholesale merchants, are also
deeply interested in the bill. Of
course, the legal lights make more
noise about it than the business men,
for the reason that their practice is af-
fected. The easiest way out of the diff
ficulty, as suggested by member of the
Ramsey county delegation yesterday,
would be to amend the present law by
raising the limit to be sued for in the
municipal court to $500. This would
enable men to bring suits with much
less expense than in the district court,
and would. of course, bring more money
into the pockets of the younger mem
bers of the bar, whose practice is to
great extent in that court. This seems
to be the reason the older members op-
pose the change. But such grounds
should not enter into the consideration.
The convenience of the business men is
the ground upon which the bill should
be passed or rejected.

CONTRASTING ALDERMEN.
A Political Controversy at South
st, Paul,

An entertainment in the line of the
organization of new common council
of South st. Paul was held at South
Park last evening. Ali of the elect were
present and one more, making ten gen
tlemen seated around the long table
that forms part of the city furniture.
Number ten was Hon. j. Lawrence. who
claimed seat as an undisposed men,
Der of the former board from the
First ward. The gathering was
held at Bryant block, South Park.
Charles Fitch was elected president,
and Frank j. Waterous vice president.
William Bircher officiated as city clerk.
The first business was the considera-
ton of liquor license of b. n. Nelson.
It was referred to the aldermen of the
Second ward for report at next session.
Then Aid. Gahan raised question as
to the legality of their proceedings in
view of the presence ola superfiuOus
representative of the First ward, the
charter calling for three aldermen and
four being present. Mr.. Gahan said he
did not desire to find fault, but merely
to ascertain if they were proceeding
legally.

Mr.. Lawrence claimed that he had
withdrawn, his resignation as alderman
and that the city clerk had so notified-a
certain caucus. The city clerk had
issued the certificate of election to MIR.
Simon, who had received a majority of
the votes at the election recently pro-
vided for in the revision of the charter.
Mr.. Simon claimed that, having re-
ceived ia out of 1876 votes cast, he could
not consistently oppose the wishes
of his constituents, and would
therefore insist upon his place in the
council. City Attorney Scroll was con-
suited, and Aid. Rourke suggested
that the council proceed to seat one of
the gentlemen and let the other take
such course as he deemed expedient.
While this course was upheld by Presi-
dent Fitch. the entertaining contro-
versy was finally laid over until the
next session. An adjournment of the
meeting was carried. and the members
will convene again Wednesday evening

P. Hitchison, the resident manager,
said yesterday morning that they discov-

the extent OF 500, but further than that
he did not know of any question re-

that, while there was question regard

there might be mistake or misunder-
standing of the matter, as the ac-
counts in general were appar-

The windows of the cigar stores are
becoming more and more attractive. All,
the cigarette firms are giving away
pictures with their goods, and are sup
plying the tobacconists with designs OF
every description. Modest young men
ALWAYS turn their heads while passing
the windows, while the dudes in cape
Oyercoats gaze in admiration at the
pictures of the scantily draped female
beauty displayed. Some of these pro-
auctions are artistic and others gro
tesQue. The run, however, seems to be
on actresses, though sporting men ana
horses are given a goodly snare OF
nOtoriety. If the cigarette manufactur-
erS put the money they spend on photo
graphs of actresses and ballet girls in
tights into improving the quality of
their goods, it would satisfy the smoker
much better. 1t is all right to induce
the sale of cheap cigarettes to boys 10y
the seductiveness of the pictures, but
men don't want them, and naturally
acquire prejudice against those
brands, desiring to pay for tobacco and
not photographs.

AN IRREPARARLEL Loss.
Death Of One Of the City's Most
EstimabIe Men,

Charles IL. Sherman died last evening
at his residence, 256 South Exchange
street. He had been i'll for several
weeks, having had the operation of
tracheotomy performed on him the last
week in January. He was suddenly aft
tackled at that time with edemia of the
neck, causing strangulation. The swell
ing had been much reduced, but the
case puzzled the doctors who had it in
charge, and last evening Mr.. Sherman
had another paroXysm, which resulted
in his death. The deceased leaves a
widow and an infant boy, who will re-
ceive the sympathy of his many friends:
He was a very prominent man in real
estate circles, owning the Clarendon
hotel and several other large business
blocks, and was universally respected
as young man of great business abil-.
ity. good friend and Il warm-hearted
gentleman. and his loss will leave a
vacancy which cannot be filed.

MEN AND THINGS.

onhimself. "a few days ago." said he,
'imy little boy asked me to buy him a

that lame man who has a stand near the
Union depot, and gave it to my son.
Shortly after he noticed that there was
ahole through one of the rivets, and,
holding it up to the light, saw picture
which made his hair stand on end. He
came running to me, saying, 'Oh!
papa, what funny knife this is. See,
thas picture of a woman before she
has put her clothes on?' l looked, and
10! there was a picture of a naked
woman. Men should not sell such

ernoon, young man, apparently twen-

harm him. He was asked to come in
and take seat and give his reasons for
sucha singular request. lie walked in
side the railing and took a chair, and
stated that he had come from Two Har-
Dors and was bound for Chicago. DR..
Ancker, who happened to be near the
building, was called in, and the sheriff
told him of his visitors strange actions.
When the doctor undertook to
question him he would begin
to cry, but between sobs managed to
inform his audience that his name was
Remington, and that he had been STOP
ping at the Washington house. He said
he heard men talking in the room next
to the one he occupied in the hotel,
about White Caps. and what they would
do with their prospective victims. Their
conversation had produced such an
effect upon him that he was afraid of
his shadow, and declared that the
whole world was after him with a club.
The unknown had plenty of money
and a ticker for Chicago, but claimed he
could not get his trunks out of the
hotel. His taain was to leave at 6:25, so
Sheriff Bean sent deputy down with
him to see him safely off. As he left the

MAYOR SMITHS ROAST.
Stormy and Wordy Meeting OF the
Ramsey County Delegation.

The Ramsey county delegation held
their regular weeely meeting in the
mayors office yesterday afternoon, with
Senator Albert ,Scheffer in the chair.
Requests from the chamber of COM
merce that discussion on appropriation
bills be deferred until the chamber had
pronounced upon them called forth
some severe language from Mayor
Smith in condemnation of any defer
ence to the chamber on the part of the
delegation, and revealing the very poor
opinion the mayor has OF. that august
body. ~
W. E. Bramhall addressed those pres
,ent at length on the Williams BILL He
delivered an historical, critical and ana
lytical lecture on the action of the bar
association and the bar generally, try
ing to demonstrate that the majority of
its members were opposed to the bill.
He stated that committee had been
appointed to report upon The bill and
suggest amendments, but without any,
authority to draw up bill or to do
anything which would bind the mem
bers of the bar. In the course of his
romarks he engaged in a little passage
of arms with Representative Ives over
the introduction of Gen. SanbOrn'S
name into the discussion.
Representative Williams referred to
petition signed by over 100 lawyers
in favor of this bill, arguing very
plausibly that those who opposed it
were the older lawyers, those whose
clients were corporations and whose
suits were never brought into the mu-
nicipal court, while the younger men,
bers who practice in that court to a
great extent, favor the bill almost
unanimously.
Mr.. Bramhall, in reply, said that
many signed the petition because their
practice was identified with that of
other lawyers. SO that they dared not
refuse. He quoted Gov. Merriam in
remark derogatory to the mental at
tainmentS of the Ramsey county law
yers, and said he agreed with the gov
ernor. They are morally cowards,o
continued he, ssthe constant hairSplit-
ting over cases gradually makes them
forget where honor bagins.'
Representative Willrich then moved
that the bar be requested to hold
another meeting to arrive at some def
mite conclusion.
Representative Williams and several
others opposed the motion on the
ground that the members of the bar
had demonstrated the fact they were
at loggerheads on the subject and
would never arrive at any unanimous
opinion. arguing, therefore, that the
delegation had better take the matter
into their own hands, as it affects the
