A Thoroughly Clean Library.

The splendid bequest of more than
50, 600, 900, made in the will of the
late John Crerar. of Chicago, TO estab-
fish q free public library in that city,
contains the provision that call nasti-
ness and immortality shall be excluded"
in the selection of books, and specifica-
ton is made of "dirty French novels
and all sceptical trash" No doubt
there will be sneering in certain quar-
tiers at the testator for thus trying TO
make sure that the tremendous influ-
ence exerted through all coming time
by his princely gift in the minds and
hearts of the people of the Western
metropolis, shall be good and not evil.
But if the conditions SO vigorously ex-
pressed are carried ont in a spirit of
true literary intelligence, combined
with faithfulness to the living and he
dead, the fathers and mothers OF
generations yet unborn" will rise up
and call John Crerar blessed.
The Boston Public Library is
administered ON the lines laid
down by the bequest of the Chi
cagO millionaire Tor Tree hDra!
in that city, at any rate so far as
the exclusion of immoral literature Is
concerned. Scores of books that
people with regulations to lose are not
ashamed of reading and lauding are
shut out from those shelves on Boyl-
ston street, because of their equivocal
or, sometimes, unequivocal-charac-
ter; and every now and then volume
that has crept in unawares is thrown
out for the same season. The authori-
ties are subject, on that account, TO
more or less carping from critics whose
chief idea of "art," whether in print,
picture or play, is that it must be inn
modest. But the wholesome common
sense of Boston's best people including
those of most genuine culture, sustains,
and will sustain, the exercise of this
discrimination on the part of thos
who control our public library.

brute. We had to fire with the great,
est care TO keep from hitting the hunter,
and it seemed to me it was fully five
minutes before we planted the fatal
ball in her. Estabrook was so badly
manned by the teeth of the tiger that
he has never recovered from it. His
hand was SO torn that two of his fin
gers hung by shreds of flesh, and his
arm above the wrist was also lacerated.
Bear and dear and other kinds of
game ON the borders ! have killed in

Secretary Tracy to Admiral Walker.

secretary Tracy 10 AuuilIdl WaiheNs
Apropos of the squadron of evolu-
ton, good story is told on Secretary
Tracy. A few months ago, when 1t
was still doubtful whether Admiral
Walker would continne in charge of
the Bureau of Navigation, and when
the squadron of evolution had not yet
been proposed, Admiral Walker, then
only a commodore, was talking over
Naval affairs with the new Secretary.
GLOW long have you been connected
with the administration of affairs in
this department, Commodore" asked
Mr.. Tracy.
"With one or two Interruptions,
about twenty years." was the reply.
"And during good part of that
time you have practically run the
Navy, if what have heard is true"
dryly remarked Mr.. Tracy.
"Some dissatisfied people have said
so, but you know how such idle stories
get about, Mr.. Secretary"
"Well," said the Secretary, with q
twinkle in his eye, 'I'Il tell you what
Wen do. You take the Navy to
Europe and do with it what you
choose, and leave me here to run this
Department to suit myself"
This is said to have been the origin
of Admiral Walkers squadron of
evolution, which comprises all the new
ships-of- war-that is, the whole eff
ficient Navy.-Baltimore Sun.

A Photograph of Mckinley.

Mckinley is an amiable sort or rel
low, but he cares nothing for society.
The ladies think he has one of the
.finest" faces imaginable, and admire
him for his tenderness toward his sick
wife. Mr.. Mckinley has no knack at
pleasing women with his tongue, which
is all the more strange because he has
n little Irish in his blood. lie was set
down beside a brilliant woman at a
dinner party in Washington last win
ter. The brilliant woman had begged
her hostess for Mckinley. She wanted
10 talk to him because she heard so
much about him and thought him 50
interesting. In five minutes the con-
versation between the little Napoleon
and the brilliant woman tagged. In
ten minutes il came to a standstill, and
nearby guests had TO help the couple
out. Mckinley is not talker. lie is
a listener. He is one of the best lis
teners TO be found among the public
men at Washington, and great relief
he is, too, after one has met about fifty
alleged statesmen who think themselves
SO great and wise as to be licensed to do
all the talking. Mckinley has way
of dropping his head down and looking
straight ont of his handsome eyes at
the man who is talking TO him, and oc-
casionally interjecting, with a show of
interest which may or may not be real,
"YOu are right" or '.ls that SOP AS
listener he is taking. He is the best
example there is in Washington of a
public man who has made himself by
letting others do the talking.

MINNEAPOLIS, IS
HIGH LICENSE SENTIMENT.

A. NJ. Allen-I should say maintain
The high license always. l look at the
matter little differently from what
some temperance people do. am tenn
perance right through, but l think that
prohibition must come by the people be-
ing educated up to it. High license,
with a good system of patrols, is the
best thing for the present. l should
hate to see change just now.
7, B. Walker-l think to accomplish
the best result we must begin with high
license and have that followed by local
option. y general prohibitory law can
not be enforced where a majority are
opposed to it. Just now think the law
we have should not be changed.
J. H. Coolidge-The law is all right as
1t is just now. High license, followed
by local option, is the proper way to
control the matter.
Judge |. Atwater-I think the present
law is we'll enough till it has been. fur,
ther tried. l am well enough satisfied
with the law just as it is now.
Charles A. Cornman-It think the pres
ent law in on the right principle. You
can't stamp out the liquor traffic, and
local option has been proved to be worse
than useless.
Aid. Woodward think it is best to
let we'll enough alone. l am high Ii
cense man from the word 'go," and
think we are all right now.
Aid. S. B. Loye-l doubt if we would
be able to get anything better than the
high license law as we have it now, but
/ Should be in favor of allowing the
people to vote on a local option or even
a prohibitory amendment if any consid-
cradle number so desired.

The Ten Hours-a-Day Resolu-

Report.

Vice President Sterling called the
council to order yesterday afternoon in
the absence of President johnson and
requested the aldermen to ''cease to
fumigate, as it is against the rules of
the council to smoke during session..
Clerk Haney read the roll call. and,
finding thirty-two daddies present, de-
clared the assembly ready for business.
There was only one incident in the
whole long session that awakened any
thing like lively interest, and that
was the election of an engineer for the
city hall. The Office is not sinecure and
pays less than kingdom, but somehow
the split seemed to be there. just the
same. Aid. Downs and majority of
the committee OH public grounds and
buildings presented majority report
recommending the appointment OF W..
M. Collins, the present incumbent. A
minority report in favor of one +. r.
Steele was also presented; and when
Aid. Downs name was called he asked
leave to explain his vote, and in so
doing took occasion to slyly plug for
Collins as to his competence and politi-
cal allegiance. Nobody seemed to
notice that he was exceeding the
limit allOWei a man in explaining
his vote, but when he had finished Aid.
S. B. Loye arose and commenced a ha-
rangue of some length, in which he said
that the new council had started in on
the good old Jetfersonian principle OF to
the victors belong the spoils, and now
he wanted to see the thing kept up and
have Mr.. Steele get the place which his
enthusiastic and answering party
loyalty had entitled him to. Aid:
Downs replied with some warmth. and
then suddenly moved to adopt the mai
ority report. The vote gave 20 nays and
Is yeas, giving Mr.. Collins a new lease
on his lob.

1t became known late last night that
another theater deal is on. Manager
McCaddon has not been idle of late, and
he is determined to get hold of house
here to run in connection with the
theater which his company will have
built in st. Paul in time to open
with early attractions next season.
Failing to get the Hennepin Avenue
theater, he has purchased the Peoples
theater, and will take charge in the
near future. The house will be run
under his management with first
class stock company, but will be
closed a month or more previous to
the opening of the season of 1890.
During the time it is closed the COM
pany intends to eXpend $4,000 in retit-
ting and refurnishing it. This house,
with the one in st. Paul, will be run as
first class houses and Manager McCad-
don is already looking for attractions
for tee two houses. Particulars of the
sale and of the intentions of the COM
pany represented by Mr. McCaddon
could not be had last night, as the latter
gentleman was visiting in st. Paul, but
the above facts were obtained from an
entirely reliable source.

COMMITTEE REPORTS.

The Election of Assistant Meat
Inspector Postponed.
Aid. Cote presented resolution from
the committee on ways and means, pro-
viding that $4,000 be transferred from
the permanent improvement revolving
fund to general fund, the same to be
returned when the first tax settlement
Is received from the county. The reso-
luton was carried unanimously.
The committee on ordinance reported
favorably OIL the new employment
agency ordinance, the substance of
which has been heretofore printed. and
the object of which ostensibly is to
make it-harder for designing scoundrels
or irresponsible penny-catcherS to
swindle working people, and also to
protect men who carry on an honorable
business. The ordinance increases the
cost of an employment agents license
and requires him to give bonds to the
city comptroller. A reading was OF
dered and had.
The meat inspection committee re-
ported that D. T. Davies, w. Costigan
and j. Gillespy had passed satisfactory
examinations and were eligible to the
offices of meat inspector and assistant
meat inspector. Aid. Barrows moved
to proceed with the election of
assistant meat inspector, and
nominated w. Costigan. Old Brazie
objected, and wished the matterd de-
ferred until the health board had sue
ceeded in rafting itself into shape and
thought there was an effort Oh the part
of some of the city fathers to clog the
progress of the committee on health
and hospitals. After several nations
and counter motions DR.. BraZiess re-
quest was granted and the ma tier de-
ferred. g

DICKEY DIDN'T WANT 1T.
How a Pioneer Press Canvasser
Tried to Work Him.

"Don't you want to take the Pioneer
Press?" asked a fat man yesterday, as
he dropped in the district court clerks
office yesterday, and addressed Deputy
Dickey.
"No, sir, do not.'
'Well, you are trif1e emphatic
about it, are you not?''
''Perhaps."
"Wsll. we will give you nice pre-
MUM if you will take lt.''
II don't want it, l tell you"
"Au right, my young friend. some
day when you call on the Lord to for
give you your sins, perhaps you will be
sorry you did not take the Pioneer Press
from me-"
"Guess l will run my chances" re-
piled Mr.. Dickey."
Nov, Pll tell you what I'll do"
again began the agent. "lll give you
the paper and 50 set of books, the pa
per to come to your address for six
months, for $5-bill. That's fair, isn't
it?"
Mr.. Dickey did not reply, but there
was wicked CLEAN in his eyes as he
arose and grasped paper weight. But
when he reached the outside of the
railing the agent had disappeared, and
peace once more reigned in the office.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Chief Stetson Not Ba ckward in
Asking for Things.

The committee on fire department
recommended the adoption of Chief
Stetson'S suggestions as to the pur-
chase of twenty new horses and certain
supplies and apparatus and the sale of
ten old horses unit for further service
in the department..
The committee also reported having
made thorough inspection of all the
fire department property and the find
ing of everything in good condition,
but lamented the lack of space in. the
headquarters building and recon-
mended that new building be erected
on the ground already purchased on
Fourth street north, near Henne-
pin avenue. The erection of an
engine house and the stationing Of
hook and ladder trnck on Chicago ave-
nue., near Thirty-first street, was also
recommended, which the committee
thinks it necessary to provide the en-
gine house at Main street and
Thirteenth avenue northeast, with an
engine in addition to its other appa-
ratus OH account of the proximity of the
lumber yards, and in order to make
such an addition the building will have
to be enlarged Another suggestion of
Chief Stetson's related to the appoint
ment of two more district engineers
provided with horses and buggieS. 1t
was suggested to some one that the city
finances were not in a condition to
allow of so many improvements, and
Aid. Ellingson moved to refer the re-
port to the committee on ways and
means.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Hennepin Avenue theater man.
agement is rejoicing in the prospect OF
a brilliant week, beginning Monday
next, when Miss Maddern is to put in
an appearance, or rather series of six
appearances, not counting two matinee
visions. Everybody who saw Miss Mad
dern last season will see her again-if
they are still in the ring-and the other
class, who missed the former Opportun
ity, will naturally improve the coming
occasion. SO a series of full houses is
anticipated by the Hennepin directory.
With continued favoring weather, St.
Paul residents will be able to console
themselves for the obliteration of their
opera house by occasional excursions to
Minneapolis and Minnie Maddern, since
under the circumstances Maholnet must
go to the mountain, OF get left. Seats
will be Oh sale at the Hotel Ryan and at
the theater box Office Friday morning.
The Hennepin Avenue theater was
crowded to its utmost capacity last
evening upon the occasion of Company
rs benefit. "London Assurance" was
presented by the Peoples Theater COM
pany, of st. Paul, in very creditable
style.
The Helen Barry engagement will
close tonight at the Grand. The matt
nee will commence at 2:30.
The bald head of William Nye, pro-
fessional funny man, and the genial
countenance of James Whitcomb Riley,
the HooSier poet, will again grace the
stage of the Hennepin Avenue theater
tonight. The indications are that the
house will be as large as that which the
two humorists took by storm on Monday
evening. The programme will be par
TALLY changed.
Corinne, the clever burlesque artistic,
will be at the Grand the first three
nights of the week, presenting Monte
Cristo, Jr. In support of her is Charles
Fostelle, who starred through the North
west some few years ago in Widow
Bedott. The sale of seats is very
large. A special matinee will be given
Wednesday.
Margaret Mather's engagement at the
Grand the last three nights of the week
will no doubt bring out large and fash
ionable audiences. The repertory is ar
ranged as follows: Thursday, "Romeo
and Juliet" Friday. LEAH" Saturday
matinee, Romeo and Juliet;' Satur-
day, "The Honeymoon"
