THE BOY AND THE PoLICEMA,


This is the season when the boy and
the policeman come in conflict wherever
there is water in urban pond or river.
This Is the season when the youth
feels that personal cleanliness demands
that he should be in the water about
two thirds of the time and when he
laughs TO scorn the city ordinance de-
manding that bathers be partly clad.
He seeks the wharyes, be gets behind
lumber piles or anything else that
will for moment shield him
from view, he disrobes with astonish.
ing celerity, he hides his modest ap-
parel under plank, and then he
plnnges in the tossing wave. Once in
the tossing wave he becomes apparent to
the policeman and the trouble begins
with great promptitude-especially to
the policeman. A boy who can swim
well, once IN the water and few yards
frem shore, becomes suddenlyimpressed
with a sense Of his own security. He
never saw policeman go in swimming
after a boy yet and he improves the
opportunity to jeer at his natural enemy.
He is sarcastic. He forgets that he has
left his clothes ashore.
The policeman reasons that some.
where in some secluded spot may be
found the clothing appertaining to the
boy in the water. If he can find the
garments ultimate capture and ven
peance are his; If he cannot find them a
mighty criminal must go unwhipt Of
Justice. He searches for them.
Do we want the policeman to find
the gaimentsY Ordinances should be
observed; ION the other hand we were
all boys once, and this is warm weather
and the water is cool. Do we want the
policeman to find the garments ?

rendered by the Lydecker court-martial
that "whatever may be thought of his pun

the matter. 1t was impossible to recover
the money wasted through his alleged neg

that the court had entire discretion in the

THE TOWNS PHOTOGRAPH.

A very nice, middle.aged Georgetown
widow lady Is surprised surprised and
grioved over something that happened
Saturday night. This lady, who Is
triflc short. sighted and rs good hearted
soul rs ever lived, has n graceless
nephew some 90 years old whose failing
Is strong drink Eleis an orphan and lives
with his aunt, and sometimes, as often
ms four or five times year perhaps, he
becomes intoxicated. On such occa-
sions his aunt looks after him with as
much solicitude as mother would, her
only recompense being his otherwise
universal cleverness and the patience
with which he listencs to his aunt's
lectures. Well, Saturday young man
whose name let us say Is Blank, who
never heard of the nephew, and who
lives In East Washington, became in
toxicated to shocking degree. A
friend of Blanks is u reporter on
Sunday paper, and Saturday night they
were together The reporter was given
an assignment over in Georgetown and
Blank went with him. II was about
eleven o'clock and all the reporter had
TO do was to ascertain whe' Ter certain
Georgetowner was in by or not.
Blank was in too ba1 .-.-yhdition TO be
seen so the reporter left him In
front of house two or three doors
down the street and told him not TO
move while he made the inquiries at
the Georgetowner's house in pursuance
of his assignment When he got back
he found that Blank had sat down on
the steps of the house he was left In
front of and gone to sleep, and that
this angle. souled aunt, who lived in
this house, had mistaken Blank for her
graceless nephew and was trying TO get
him into the house. The reporter
rescued his friend with celebrity and
insisted that he should thereafter either
go home or wear tag

"But the waitaw that he longcd faw

1t was all on account of the liveries
that o half dozen Or so Of the Metro
politan Club walters struck, and Satur-
day evening the service of the dinners
was hardly up TO its usual standard Of
dispatch and general excellence. The
trouble has been brewing for some time.
The house committee state that Head
waiter John Croghan was discharged
for insubordination, and then some of
the other walters went to the house
committee and complained because $14
was taken from their monthly salaries
TO pay for their club liverics. The
walters say that they struck because 81
was taken from each semi-monthly pay
ment of salary $S month, because
they did not like their victuals, and be-
cause sixty cents month was deducted
from their salaries for brealSage
whether they broke anything or not.
Ex- Headwaiter Croghan says that when
they protested against these things they
were told that owing to the late bank
Iuptcy proceeding, the fire insurance
litigation and the state of financial af
fairs, nothing could be done

The proneneSs of mankind to explore
the realms of mystery was illustrated
last night by the packed audience at
the Peoples theater, composed of St.
Paul's most cultured people, to witness
Washington Irving Bishops tests in
thought reading. Considerable time
was spent in the beginning in an en-
deavor to get a committee to sit with
the operator on the stage, but after SO
long a time nine well-known st. Paul
gentlemen were induced to form wall
flower decoration for the performance.
AS it afterwards turned out the commit
tee was too lOquaciouS. according to
Mr.. Bishops idea, for successful test
of his powers. He started off very
well with some little business that is
familiar to those who are in the habit of
attending the so-calIed spiritualistic
seances, but when it came to the heav-
Ter test his thought-reading power
seemed to-be i'll a paralyZed condition.
The mental camera wOuldn'tW DIRK, and
although the operators pulse ran up to
120 in the nervous excitement resulting
from his prolonged endeayors to per-
form phenomenal feat, he landed in
the soup. The first test was the dagger
hunt, where committeeman went into
the audience and went through the
mock performance of plunging dagger
into Mr.. Joseph Wheelock's bosom, and
then hiding it in the managers room.
Mr.. Bishop was brought out blindfolded
and after good deal of scuf-
fling finally succeeded in finding
the dagger and then hunted up
Mr.. Wheelock and went through the
motion of covering him up. In the sub
seQuent tests the most remarkable thing
was in picking out persons in the audi
ence, which he never failed to do. But
when it came to reproducing the duel
scene he made an utter failure, and only
partially succeeded in the tableau Vi
want experiment. The same was true
of the bank note experiment. Unless
Mr.. Bishop can brace up his nerves and
get in better work tonight or to-mor-
row night than he performed last night.
he will have to be classified with the
rest of the mOuEtebanks who earn their
living by playing on the credibiIity of

None OF His Business.

A rumor perYaded the state house
corridors yesterday to the effect that
slight contention was brewing between
the governor and the board of railway
and warehouse commissioners, the al
legged cause being the appointment of
successor to Chief Grain Inspector
James. 1t was, said that the states
executive had agreed upon the appoint
ment of Mr.. Randall to succeed the
present incumbent, and that the board
did not concur in such action. An in
terview with Gov. Merriam soon dis
proved the truth of such statements and
showed that they were wholly false.
HE had nothing to do with the appoint
ment since it was a matter of no ones
coucern but the railway commission
ers." Gen. Becker also refuted the as
sertion and said that there were no
foundations for the rumOr.

THE WEST SIDE LEVEE.

Albert B. Ovitt-I assisted in drawing
a bill, which is now pending in the leg
iSlature, which provides that certain
lands taken by the city for levee pur-
poses iii West st. Paul shall be restored
to the former owners or their assigns
upon the payment into the city treasury
of the amounts received. with interest,
charges, etc. | had not intended to dis
cuss the merits of the bill in the news
papers, but your report this morning of
the statements made by Mr.. Berkey and
by the city attorney before the chamber
Of commerce at the meeting held yes
terday makes it necessary that some of
their statements shall be denied, lest
the inference may be drawn that the
bill is a dishonest one. There is no syn
dictate formed to speculate in the land,
so far as my knowledge goes, and the
letter read at the chamber of commerce
meeting was the first information that
j had that there had been single
transfer of the property from the Origi-
nal owners. The object of the bill is
simply to put few deserving people,
who have unwittingly placed them
selves DIT the mercy of the officers of a
corporation, on the same footing which
they would have occupied had the con-
demnation proceedings for leyee taken
the ordinary legal course.
E. III. Wood-In the discussion of the
leyee question in the chamber of COM
merce. Peter Berkey Esq, called the at
tention Of the chamber to the fact that
the charter of the city of st. Paul had
been very mysteriouSly tempered with
on the subject of buying, selling and
leasing real estate belonging to the city.
Up to the time of making the recent
changes it required unanimous vote of
the council to move in such matters,
but the charter was amended about
month ago, providing that a three
fourths vote was only required, and
providing further that ''all leases here
tofore made are confirmed" A few
days after this bill was approved by the
governor and published in the official
paper of the city, this amendment was
amended by bill introduced by
Fl. F. Stevens, providing that it
shall only require majority
vote of the council to buy or sell real
estate. or lease real estate belonging to
the city. In speaking to Hon. Gerhard
Willrich and Hon. +. G. Stevens about
this matter, they Informed me that this
latter action never came before the
delegation when they were present for
consideration, but now it has leaked
ont that the StPaul Union Railway and
, Transfer company and its friends, Great
: ulres of the Stickney system, are
actively opposed to the bill providing
that the original owners shall have
their property back who decided for
levee purposes upon paying back the
city its money and interest, for the rea-
son that they expect, through the recent
amendments to the charter, to be able,
with but little trouble, to obtain long
lease of the entire levee front, and thus
forever rob the people of free access to
the river front on the West side, the
same as has been done on the East side.
