A Selection OF Moral. Political. aud Phit-
osophieAi from Popular Works.
The following selection of maxims,
moral, political, and philosophical, from
the popular works OF the Chinese, show
that the people OF that country are not
altogether the stupid dullards which they
are generally represented to be. The we'll
pointed morals and acute observations
these maxims contain not only bear testi-
mony to the character OF the Chinese mind,
but forcibly exhibit that W hich Is true and
that which Is good---whether In morality,
philosophy, or national policy--are alike
adapted to all nations and all people:

lighting the new county and city build
ing, met last night. Mr.. Livingston
for the gas company, and Mr.. German,
for the Edison company, presented the
same arguments that they made before
the joint committee several weeks ago.
Mr.. Livingston, of course, argues that
gas is not only cheaper but furnishes
better artificial light than electricity.
Mr. German took an entirely opposite
view of the matter. The subcommittee
took the matter under consideration and
will report at the next meeting of the

WHAT WAS HER NAME?
A Young Woman Tried to Kill
herself

There was considerable excitement at
an early hour yesterday morning among
Mckinney block, at 3S2 WabaSha street.
A young woman had taken poison,
probably with suicidal intent, and
lay deathly sick in the apartments
of man roOming there. A
physician was hastily summoned, and.
after administering remedies and
working over the unfortunate woman
for several hours, her life was saved.
Her cries were most pitiful to hear, and
awakened other occupants of the build
ing. The names of the parties could
not be learned. and when reporter
called at the block last night every one
about the place was as dumb as an oys
ter. The matter was withheld from
the notice.

Of Disorder.

In the South Park court yesterday
morning Judge Clark heard the testi-
mony in a case of disorderly conduct
against William SchIiefer, of the stock
yards. 1t appeared, however, that the
accused had been disturbed while at his
work. and had suffered considerable
provocation. The complaint was dis
missed. 1t was expected that the testi-
mony In the case would implicate GER
tain parties in clandestinely carrying
steaks. chops and sausage from the
houses of the South st. Paul packers.
Such actions were not testified to, how
ever, and the effort in that direction was
dropped. Judge Clark recorded SEN
tence of thirty days in the South st.
Paul Jail for disorderly conduct.

RELIEVED BY A ROW

Between Two Bellicose Attorneys
The Olsen Murder Case-Po-
lice Victims.
The morning grind in Judge Burr'S
justice mill was interrupted yesterday
in a rather unexpected manner. At
torney Henry Johns and a. D. Warner
attempted to set up little opposition
mill of their own. Both of these
disciples of Blackstone and followers of
Sullivan wanted to tight. Warner. who
licked a reporter and has record to
boast of, thought he could thrash Johns
and Johns thought he could at least
make game for his bellicose
colleague. They were just proceed
ing to demonstrate their proves,
when it occurred to Clerk Clouse that
DR.. Day would object to having the new
carpets Smeared over with the gore of
police court attorneys. For that reason
he took whirl at the warning attor-
neys. and succeeded in preventing any
serious crime. The trouble resulted
from the Murray Cruenten bastardy
case, in which Johns is retained as at
torney for the prosecuting witness and
Warner for the defense. When the case
came up Murdoch E. Murray, the Bed
ford street barber. was granted con-
tinuance until Monday, though the
girl, Mary. S. Cruchten, was
present and ready to prosecute
the case. Her attorney stated
that he had no desire to send the young
man to prison, but simply desired that
he should right the wrong the girl had
suffered. 1t was claimed that Attorney
Warner had trumped up charge of
forgery against the girl, and was EN-
gagged in the doubtful practice of at
tempting to frighten her into releasing
the culprit Murray. 1t was over the
possession of a paper claimed to be evil
dence of the forgery that the attorneys
wanted to fight. Andrew Olsen, the
Swede charged with the murder of
Nels Dablstrom, had his preliminary
examination. No new evidence
in the case was introduced,
and after a brief trial the
prisoner was held to the grand jury
without bail. E. l.. Hefter, accused of
passing a forged check at John Fous'
hardware store, signed by the st. Paul
& Duluth Coal and Iron company, was
also held to the grand jury under $500
bail. The case against David X. Shan
non, accused of aSSaulting Samuel Long
fellow with dangerous weapon in Otto
Nagel'S saloon, was dismissed, as was
also the charge of contempt preferred
against Longfellow. Both men will be
arraigned next Wednesday for diS0r-

wAGE-EARNERs AT WAR.
Secretary Stevens Bounced, and
Serious Split Threatened.

Secretary Stevens Bounced, and a
Serious Split Threatened.
There is war in the ranks of the
Wage-Earners' Cooperative association.
A split is imminent, and in all
probability may become something
more serious. The difficulty, in
its first stage. eliminated in
the removal of Secretary c. 81.
Stevens OH charge of malfeasance in
Office, or non-feasancc, as the case may
be, but the worst part of the difficulty is
yet to come.
The Wage Farmers idea was an in
spiration of Rev. Sam Smith, some two
years ago. The scheme was to associate
together large number of men, buy
tract of land and build thereupon COM
Portable homes at fair price, paying
for them in instruments. The OrganiZa-
ton only took shape this past spring,
II. P. Hall being foremost in the move
ment. Wage-earners came forward in
gOodly numbers and the association
took on flOurishing aspect, but when
it came to the selection of a site. the
trouble began. Various excursions to
eligible locations were made, and
no little rivalry sprang up,
especially as the members of the asso-
citation differed widely. st. Faul Park,
OwaSso, Gladstone and Midway point
were the principal sites, and each had its
warm partisans. 1t is claimed that real
estate boomers in each locality APP
preached various members and directors
with offers of money and land for their
influence, but though charges are freely
made, there does not appear to be any
proof that the.bribes have been.accepted.
Very much feeling has been worked up
over the matter. and is now running
rampant.
On Tuesday night the directors had
meeting and summarilY bounced the
secretary, c. H. Stevens. placing Maj.
Hooper in his stead. One of the di-
rectOrs said Stevens was entirely too
partial to the st. Paul Park location, and
was altogether runding the association
in his own way, that he refused to fur
nish list Of the members of the asso-
citation on demand and had declined to
attend meetings when requested.
Stevens has his own version of the af-
fair, which will come out at later
meeting. He is joined by all the adv0-
Gates of the st. Paul Park site, and it is
probable split will ensue and two as
sociationS result.

a couple of men were walking past
the chamber of commerce on Sixth
street yesterday afternoon, when sud
denly one of them stopped in front of
one of the large plate windows and eX-
claimed:
Say, John, never knew Dr.. Cronin

What Dr. CrOnin?'
"Why the one that was murdered by
the Clan-na Gaels in Chicago"
why, you big idiot, he never did live
here, lie was 4 Chicago man cXclu-
sively," responded the other.
We'll, they've got his tombstone here,
anyhow, SO they must be going to bury
him here" said the first, as he pointed
to small sample tombstone of frosted
sheet iron that stood in the window as a
sign. Across the base Of the tombstone
read in large letters, "Crouin."
"Well. I'll be hanged if that amt SOL"
exclaimed John, after reading the let
tiers. | guess his friends IN Chicago
must be afraid that the ClaA-na-Gaels
will dig what is left Of his BODY up if
they leave it in Chicago" SO saying,
he linked arms with his companion, anu
the two sauntercd Off, fully convinced
that what remained Of the late DR.. Gro
min would be inferred in a St. Pail
cemetery.
