Raw Recrmits Ia the German ARMY.

Raw Recruits In the German Army.
The new crop of recruits has been
mustered into service in the Prussian
Amy, and the awkward fellows are hav-

cents a day. One pities the poor men.
Their legs will not stretch nor their arms
bend at the right time or in the desired
direction. Many of them, with hands
pinioned to their sides, are started across
the parade ground, compelled to take
strides of such length and stand upon
one foot so long that they fall from sheer
exhaustion. Frightened by the stento-
rian tones of the commander and the
laughter which echoes beyond the gates
over such mishaps, they soon become
like dumb animals and repeat their MIS-
takes from the stupidity of fear. But
this condition IS not lasting. After few

NORTH MINNEAPOLIS STIR.
The Women Take Hand and
Make Things Interesting,

The only trouble during the day was
near the Nineteenth avenue north car
barn, where large crowd had gathered
early in the morning. Among the
crowd were a large number of women,
who kept urging the men to violence.
Capt. Ness and squad of officers kept
the crowd moving all the time. Once
or twice an attempt was made to stop
the cars by throwing timbers on the
track, but the police soon broke up
this practice.
nounced Capt. Ness, early in the day,
land we are going to keep order at any
cost. The first man that wells 'scab' or
does any disorderly act will go down to
the station, sure" and the tall captain
pointed to the patrol wagon standing
near the barn.
The feeling against the new men in
North Minneapolis was intensely bitter,
and one of them could not even get so
much as match in any of the stores.
The women appeared to be more
worked up than the men, and gathered
IN small crowds and gave vent to their
feelings in sharp speeches. There was
we'll attended meeting at Mrs Meany's
boarding house, 1922 Washington ave-
nue. north, during the morning, and all
the women present decided to boycott
the cars. One or two of the officers
made an attempt to break up the meet
ing, but failed, and retired under the
tongue-laShing they received. A meet
ing was to have been held on vacant
lot directly across from the barn at 2
O'Clock, and Miss Eva Mcdonald was
expected to make an address, but the
police were instructed by Superintend-
ent Bracket not to allow it, as it was
feared it would attract big crowd.
This action on the part of the police
was not good naturally received, espec-
tally by the women, who roundly de-
nounced the police. superintendent

to numerous insults, preserved their

The new men had pretty hard time of
1t near the barns and seemed greatly re-
lieved when starting back on the down
trip. Jacob Bachart, John Lindberg
and Andrew Lunden were arrested for
shouting ''scab," and Cyrus Theall was
gathered in for refusing to move on.

talk, big guns and wide white hats. 1t
is generally believed that there would
have been trouble had any of the men
been placed OH the cars. 1t is certain,
however. that they would not have car
ried their guns, for the police had Or
ders to arrest any man who carried a
gun.
1t was stated last evening by gentle
man who is in a position to know that
many of the strikers are sadly
discouraged, and would go back to
work to-day if they did not fear the
taunts and jeers of the others. A NUM-
Der of them are not in the best of cir
cumstances, this gentleman stated, and
therefore the weeks idleness was press
ing them pretty hard. On the other
hand, the strikers appear confident, and
claim to be able to hold out for long
time yet. Last evening the union was
presented with a check for 500.
The excitement is dying out to large
extent, and the yelling and calling of
names had almost entirely ceased. Yet
it is hard to state which side has the
best of the struggle at the present
time. True, three lines are in opera
ton, but the cars are under police pro.
lection all the time, and are pulled into
the barn when the public needs them
the most. between $50 and 6 o'clock.

Minor Matters Noted During the
Session.

Session.
A resolution providing for the issu-
ance of the 100000 worth of bonds
authorized by the legislature without
opposition. ~-
Building Inspector Hazen reported
that he had appointed C. R. Hazen as
assistant clerk in the Office at a salary
OF 5000, subject to the approval of the
council. His letter went to the COM
mittee Oh ways and means.
The report of the license committee,
recommending that licenses be granted
to all the old plumbers, was adopted.
On recommendation of the committee
on public grounds and buildings, ven
tllating registers which have so long
been needed, were ordered placed in
the fiues passing through the council
chamber.
Comptroller Calderwood recommends
that the committees on WOrkhouSe, po-
lice and poor meet oftener SO that bills
for supplies furnished these depart
ments can be collected within sixty
days. Ga
A petition for the changing of the
name of Fort avenue to the more poetic
and Longfellowesque title of Hiawatha
avenue, was referred to the committee
on street grades and additions.
On recommendation of the alderman
of the Fourth ward, a resolution an
nuling the sprinkling ordered on Aid
rich avenue north was PASSED, and the
indignant citizens of that street who
have held mass meetings to protest
against the sprinkling tax, can con-

who occupy single rooms in various
parts of the city, was introduced and re-
ferred to the ordinance committee.

THE POLICE COMMISSION.

Although it has not been announced
officially, it is understood that Gov
Merriam will appoint as police commits
s:OnerS w. +. Guile, Democrat. and n.
II. Gjertsen, Republican. Now that
the powers of the commission have been
cmtailed, and salary eliminated, COM
paratively little interest has been
created over the appointments, and the
only fight that has come to the surface
has been between Comrades Guile and
Mortimer. COmrade Guile is city pas
senger agent for the Omaha railroad.
and COmrade Mortimer holds the
same exalted position in the
service of the Minneapolis & ST. Louis
railroad. The police commission is not
a railroad commission, and it was con-
coded that only one of the two could be
appointed. COmrade Guile seems to be
freaks and Sunday show people will
probably come 10 Minneapolis via the
Omaha. Mr.. GjertSen seems to have
had little opposition; in fact, no one en-
dOwed with a heart could have long
stood in the way of a man who has
wanted an office so badly and who
Is so extremely reasonable in his de-
mandS. MI. GjertSen is grocer, which
perhaps does not especially qualify him
for the position. He is scandinavian,
however, and this has considerable
weight III the matter. as an opportunity
to pay off the debt the Republican party
in Minneapolis owes to this nationality
so cheaply is not to be overlooked. The
appointments, on the whole, will be
fairly satisfactory, and certainly more
endurable when it is considered what

THE EIGHTH DAY.
Cars Were Run on Three Lines
Without ANY Trouble.

Yesterday. the eighth day of the great
street car and motor line strike, brought
forth no new developments of interest.
The cars on the Fourth avenue, Plym-
outh avenue and University lines ran
as usual, but no more cars than were
nut out on Thursday were started out.
The police accompanied the cars as
usual, but there was nothing for them
to do. except to order off one or two
men who refused to pay their fare. The
cars on the three lines mentioned were
started out at the usual time in the
morning, and run quite regularly during
the entire day UP to O'Clock, when they
were all pulled in. The conductors had
been provided with change by the
company, and but few persons rode
free. People patronized the cars freely,
but all who got ON appeared appre-
hensive of some Sort of trouble. None
of the drivers or conductors were in
duced to quit by the strikers. but one or

ROASTED THE MAYOR.
The Strikers Are Addressed by a
Noted Woman SuffraSist.

Mrs. Marietta NJ. Bones, of Webster,
Oak, president of the Dakota branch of
the National Woman's Suffrage associa-
ton, addressed meeting of the strikers
at Labor Temple in the morning. She
had no use for non-union men, and had
talked with some of them in an en-
deavor to induce them to quit. She
criticised the action of Mayor Babb,
saying he was a sycophant and a lick
spittle. No words could express her
contempt for him. He was worse than
thief. for he was helping Tom Lowry
steal the bread of honest men. She had
also visited the proprietors of the large
stores, and had enlisted their sympa-
thies. Mr.. Lowry's statement that he
cannot afford to pay the old wages was
false Oh the face, and the very fact that
he could offer scabS from other cities So
day proved it. She wanted the old
men to wear badges on their coats, indi-
eating that they were street car men.

Things were very like a cemetery
about the city hall yesterday, the vari-
Gus Offices being closed by order of the
mayor, Secretary of State Mattson hav-
ing notified the former that Good Fri
day would be observed as a general
holiday. In the Office of chief of police

clerks were busy part of the day at

The special committee from the Park
board on the designation of lands for
the long talked of Powder Horn park
met in the secretary's room and listened
to several property holders from the re-
giOn about the lake. There was only
one who opposed the scheme, and all he
said was that he was not ready to give
the land along the shore.
Vice President Hangar said he
thought it would be a shame to lose the
land by not taking it now when nearly
all the owners of the property are will
ing to make such very considerable con-
ceSsiOns for the sake of having the park,

PHASES OF LIFE.

Edwin Ripper, the miller whose mar
fiage in California, and subsequent
flight on account of the exposures of his
married life here, was pretty little
fellow. with black mus tache and full,
round face. During the skating rink
craze he was a regular attendant after
moons. He was good skater, and won
the envy of all the other mlllerS by the
success of his gallantry toward the
ladies who came and wanted a good
deal of help 10 assist them around the
rink. The old Eighth Street rink was
the scene of his triumphS before the
larger ones were built.
Probably the sickest man in the dra
matte profession to-day is Sol Smith
Russell, not because he is losing money,
but because his manager has captured
the long haul clause of the contract.
Fred Berger induced Russell to go or
the road again. bought play and Of
fered him $500 a week clear money,
with prOviso that he would
have a percentage of all receipts
over a specified amount. The
offer seemed temuting one
and his. Russell accepted it. The East
ern tour was tiattering success and
Mr.. Berger cleared dollar for dollar with
the star, but it was when they went
West the ShekelS began to pour in until
Berger began to clear SO to Russell's
81. The outside limit of the latter's
salary, 500, has been reached on the
Pacific tour. 1t is probable they will
have new contract next year. Russell
has just reached the zenith of his fame
and he is in fair way to coin fortune
in less than five years.
Loren Fletcher has been quietly cir
culating among his friends since his re-
turn from Europe, greeting his friends
with a grasp of the hand and 'How are

ably remnant of Maine dialect.
Mr.. Fletcher assures everybody he is
out of politics and intimates he
may GO out of business. He pro-
feSses to be delighted with ocean
voyages, and VOWS to take another soon.
DIR. Airport. who returned in the Gas
cOigne, arriving in New York the same
day the Umbria landed the only Loren,

Fletcher's prOfessed enthusiasm for the
sea. He relates that Fletcher was sick
all the way over and lay in his berth,
but Oil nearing Liverpool they brought
him upon deck, when he became sicker
than ever. Turning to his wife he
groaned, Great heavens, Susy, have
you brought me up here to die within
four hours of land?'
