EMIL FERRANT RETURNS.

Americans Building in Europe
His Opinion of the LA Grippe"
Emil Ferrant and wife yesterday re-
turned after year and half's visit in
Europe. Mr.. Ferrant was about town
yesterday. shaking hands with
his many friends, and said he
had just passed through an ocean
blizzard that lasted for five
days, which for ferocity eclipsed all
records. He says the large cities of Eu-
rope, especially Berlin and Cologne, are
taking on a building boom that would
do credit for American cities. Struct-
ures have been erected there within the
past few years that are simply marvels
of architectural beauty and elegance.
What surprised him the most, however,
was to find American insurance
companies erecting mammoth build
ingS in tie different cities
just as they were here. Concerning the
Russian Influenza. or ia grippe" his
theory is that the damp. chilly weather
that has prevailed across the Atlantic
during the falland winter has given
Europe a great big cold in the head, as
it were. and as the change is an unus-
ual one the suffering is consequently
more severe, just as when snow storm
in this country visits Texas or some To-
cality that is not prepared for it, great

PROSPEROUS MINNEAPOLIS.
The Evening Journals Estimate
Gets There With Both Feet.

1t is customary towards the close OF
the year for the different newspapers
to publish summary o. the years bus
mess in Minneapolis. The first in the
field with estimates this year is the
Evening Journal, now published at the
Office of the Times. The figures given
below are not Official and may
vary million or two from
the actual valuations, but that makes nc
difference with the journal. Theft
hustiing editor has pissed upon them,
aud as he is satisfied, so the cenfiding
readers of the journal will have TO wait
until the official figures are footed up by
the heads Of the different city depart
ments or accept those given by the
lightning calculator employed ON the
''great and only e. j." According to the
Journals estimates the year about to
close has been prosperous one for
Minneapolis. The total number of build
ing permits issued in 1889 was 4,341,
against 4.3339 in 1888 In 1888. the cost
OF the erection of buildings was $685.
937, while in 1889 the cost was IS. 755, 46I.
he real estate transfers for the year
were 9.s72. aggregating So, 81. 750. The
Journal adds that this is something
smaller than last year. The bank clear
anceS are said to be $2l5,626. 25O. 43.
These figures show an s'insignificant''
increase of something over S24, 00O, 900.
During the year S36O000 has been added
to the banking capital. There is also
another important item. There has
been net increase of twenty-three
firms doing business in Minneapolis
since Dec. 81, 1888. 1t is true
ness. but ali but twenty-three
either went out of business or
removed to st. Paul. Then the Journal
adds by the way of comment. 1.-THE
year on the whole has been only fairly
prosperous in business way" In the
next paragraph it SAYS that there were
fifty-eight failures in 1889 with liabili-
ties placed at $500, 349.03, and assets at
1921, 1888, and then the Journal adds,
This is very good showing for this
year." The journal spreads itself on the
work of the assistant dairy commissioner
and points with pride to the fact that
'the improvement in the Quality Of
cheese consumed in Minneapolis has
Deen more pronounced than has that OF
milk" and says ''it is estimated that
only three years ago half of the Mime
sofa cheese was adulterated with for
eign fats" According to the Journal,
the decrease in the amount eX.
pended in buildings, the exit of PAS
business firms. the failure of tifty-eight
more business enterprises with liabilities
placed at over twice as much as the
assets, show prosperous condition for
Minneapolis. On Jan. l, 1890, the seV.
eral newspapers will publish official
figures, and the people who have the
good of Minneapolis at heart. feel sure
that those figures will show anything
but the alarming state of affairs piet.
ured by the Evening Journal as 'spros.
porous"

A New Club House,

The Minneapolis club is on the look
out for new quarters, and special
meeting was held last evening to discuss
that question. After much discussion
it was decided that the governing com.
mittee should dispose of the present
club house on the corner of Sixth
avenue south ard Seventh street
and select a new location some
where between Hennepin and
Second avenue South and Fourth and
Sixth streets. A committee consisting
of r. B. Langdon. A. II. Linton, Clinton
Morrison, f. S. PillSburY and Thomas
Lowry, was appointed to select a site
and it was voted to raise by subscription
from 100000 to Sl50,U00 to fit up a new
club house. $50, 900 being already sub.
scribed. During the building of the
new house the right to use the old one
will be retained.

KiIrlngton as a Detective.

A young man seeking information
about long lost sister called on Health
Commissioner KilvingtoH yesterday.
He only knew that she was once en-
ployed as nurse in Minneapolis hos
pital. With this information tile genial
the names of several physicians, who
would likely know about the nurses that
have been in the various dispensaries
and hospitals. The result was that in
one hour from the time the man entered
the health Office, the commissioner had
located the lost nurse' in Tacoma.
What kip cannot locate is not worth

holiday season of all in the year is the
one time when all Sel6Shness should be
cast aside, yet it is fact that about as
much selfishness Is displayed in the Sc
lection Of Christmas presents as in any
thing else. The society woman who Sc
lects presents for her friends
with an eye to certain entertain
ments which those friends may give
is an old case and not worth repetition,
but her prototype may be found in every
walk of life. For instance, one man
who presented his wife with shotgun
last year, this year remembered her
with new and improved fishing rod.
But he is not much ahead of the woman
who bought new sealskin mutf for her
darling hubby. Scores of Weil-to-do
business men gave all OF their friends
boxes OF cigars. opened a good
many small bottles over which to
wish Merry Christmas, subscribed to
purses for telephone girls. letter car
ries, janitors, ct ce.era, adj infinitum,
and then went home and told his wife
that business ''has been so bad for the
last year that | really can't afford to
buy any presents for you and the chill
dren." But among his fellows that
man passes for the most generous fell
low in the world. Tine man who slams

beard; the boy who answers
to the call Of ''Brush," and inc; dental y
blacks your shoes; the elevator man !;
every one who does the slightest service
for you during the year, expects to. be re-
membered on Christmas day. And you
remember him, too. Why? Because
yOn think, perhaps. you will get a little
extra care, although he has already
been paid for doing his work. 1t is all
the outcropping of seIfishneSs, a desire
to get little better than your fellows,
and this. too, at q season when the very
purest instincts of the heart are sup
posed to predominant.
And now there is talk of digging a
canal from Lake Superior to Minneap-
oils. Right here is where the junior sena-
tor from MinneSOta:haS a chance to show
his public spirit. There is no doubt but
that the canal would be of vast benefit
to Minneapolis, but it would certainly
kill the 500 road, so far as freight
business is concerned. and DO road
can live wholly on its passenger traffic.
MIR. WashbuTn and several other prom
inent MinneapOlitans are financially IN
terested in the 500, and it remains to be
seen if they will subordinate private
gain to the public good. 1t must be adj
mitted that just at present the outlook
for these railroad owners taking an act
i've part in cutting off their own bust
ness is not OF the brightest. As a rule,
so-called public-Spirited undertakings
are expected to work to the advantage
Of the promoters.
