HIS FIRST RIDE.

A man AZ years of age, who lives in
the Grant County woods. was in this
city Yesterday, for the first time getting
over twenty miles away from home. He
came up on the st. Paul train from the
west and this was his first ride upon
train of cars. He was pilOted around
by Michael KurZ, who generously at
tempted to enlighten the chap on things
in general. The fellow wanted to know
"what kind of lanterns those were,' in
dicating the electric arc lamps. On
being told what they were he wanted TO
know what kind of oil they used in
them. When Mr.. Kurz attempted to
good-naturedly explain how they were
lighted the fellow refused to believe it,
insisting that the cigar manufacturer
was taking advantage Of his ignorance
Whom he saw the street car line he was
nearly paralyzed and wanted to know
what those ''iron" bars were laying in
the street for. On being informed he
asked if the streets weren't good enough
to run carriages on. However, when
a street car came along he was filled
with wonderment and remarked that he
'didn't wonder that they had to have
the track when they pulled the wagons
with such little rats as those" The
capitol building and park were objects
of much interest on the part of the coun-
try chap and he wanted TO know what
they used that "big pasture" for. He
was informen that the governor kept
Jersey cows and consequently the State
had to furnish big pasture. He had
heard something about the capitol build.

pretentious structure. Altogether his
visit was probably as interesting to his
conductor as it was to him. He waited
in the city an hour or two taxing in the
sights while waiting for Northwestern

VILHEIM'S Improved CREAMERY CAN.

The salts are all on that side of the
building. Many remedies nave been
tried. The most common is to paint
the brick. This is not sure proven
tive. The oil in the paint meeting the
salts is saponiiied and turned 10 a
soapy substance and the paint peels OFF.
The only thing to do is to fill the pores
OF the brick with something that does
not unite with the salts. Paraline is
such substance. Some time ago they
went all over the Chicago court house
with parafine. Ii was tremendously
expensive, as the brick had to be
heated. One man went along with an
apparatus for heating the walls and an
other followed him with the paraiine
Some brick manufacturers din the brick
in some such preparation as part of the

Postmaster General Wanamaker has
had several consultations with Presi-

and the telegraph company is on the

TALK ON BRICK.
An Entertaining Little Chat on its Poor
Qualities.

Passers-by on Jackson street for the
past few days have noticed with a good
deal of curiosity the white spots which
cover the Fourth street side of the First
National Bank building. Most people
are at a loss to account for the deposit
or why it should appear at this time.
A reporter of the Pioneer Press called
upon +. z. Bassford, the we'll known
architect, yesterday for an explanation.
This is a queer coincidence" he said
when the reporters errand was made
known. II received this morning,
from Boston man, n circular adver-
Using q brick preservative of his inven-
ton which is designed to prevent just
that sort of thing. In recent num-
Der of an architectural journal | also
noticed a communication on the same
subject That white deposit is COM
posed of various salts. which exist in
brick as well as other building material.
Cement has the largest quantity, NOR
tar or lime the next, and stone the
least. II they are not present in cement
and mortar. they loose their power and
are unit for use in building. Brick is
n good deal more porous than most
people think" To illustrate this fact
Mr. Bassford hunted up a brick in his
office and poured lot of water on its
surface. Every drop of the water was
absorbed almost as quickly rs if the
brick had been sponge. A second
and third drenching of water fol-
lowed the first and the thirsty brick
drank IT all
The water which the brick IN build
ing absorbs from the rain. continued
he meets these salts and disolves
them. In solution they find their way
10 the surface The water evaporates
and the salts deposit on the building as
YOU now see them on the bank building.
| take it that the present condition Of
the building is due to the very heavy

had some days ago. for you notice that

The weapons we're presented to the
museum by Mr.. Brownwell in whose
possession they have been since the UNI
fortunate tragedy. which at the time OF
its occurrence-May "a, lS6l-created
a profound sensation throughout the
United States.
The Navy department has been noti-
fed by the Camp Brothers, of Philadel-
phia, the contractors, that the new
cruiser "Philadelphia" will be launched

Representative Caldwell, of Ohio,
who succeeds General Brown, is in
town. He says the Ohio delegation
will vote as unit for Mckinley for
Speaker, and that all the talk by friends
of the other candidates of support from
Ohio is without the slightest foundation.
Hon. Edward Wolcott, the new Sena-
tor from Colorado, is in Washington 10
secure a house. He refuses to discuss
politics saying that he wants to fainil-
iarize himself with things before, as
they say in the mines, shooting his
mouth off.
Sixth Auditor Coulter is one
of the new officials courageous enough
to say that he believes the offices should
be given to the men who helped elect
the president. He also believes in
keeping up the work OF his office, and
he has just given q practicalillustration
how to do it, by putting his whole force
to working until 9 o'clock at night in
order to catch up on the examination OF
the money order accounts from $500
