WILL BE REMEMBERED
The Week in 1889 When
Street Cars Did Not
Run.
The Absence of Familiar
Scenes and Incidents of
City Life.
The Inconvenience and Bene-
fits Of Having to Walk
It.
The Weird Transformation
at First Avenue
South.


Life in Minneapolis has been practic-
ally reconstructed during the past week
by means of the street car strike. The
Flour City contains fifty-three square
miles. and people living on the out
skirts have had nice little walk of
over three miles to the business center.
Heads of families have been compelled
to rise at unreasonable hours mornings,
and supper has been postponed to a late
hour in the evening to be followed by
immediate retirement that rest suf-
ficient might be gained to enable
the victim to get up early enough
the next day to reach his business place
before noon. Clerks at stores have been
late and school children tardy. The
practice of making social calls has been
abandoned. lecturers have addressed
empty benches, and the theaters have
suffered severely. The small store
dealer on the outskirts has not felt the
competition with the large concerns
to be so strong, and a great many men
have stayed at home from force of cir
cumstances, and have made the &C
Quaintance of their families.

The veteran comedian whose sallies
of wit and insinuating humor have kept
the country roaring for years, looks as
hearty as a man of twenty less years
than himself. He is just as uncon-
scious, too. as he ever was how it is he

sPRINT1NG For EXERCISE.

Instead, he has a long walk rather
than rapid run of a short distance, to
settle his dinner for him. Many people
have learned to walk, and those who
do not live too far have perhaps found
that the exercise is far from disagree

to the committee on shore

referred to the committee on shore
rights and privileges. Attorney Rock
wood reported that lot in Southeast
Minneapolis owned by the board had
been sold for the 1885 taxes and the
board instructed the finance committee
to take measures to redeem it.
The special committee consisting of
the committee on designation of
grounds with commissioners Mitchell,
Allen and Hangar added, having in
charge the matters of designating
ground around Powderhorn lake for
park purposes reported that they had
made a personal inspection of the
grounds and had also met the owners of
the surrounding property and
found the most of them very
unreasonable in their demands regard
ing price. So much so, in fact, that
they deemed it best to obtain the lands
by usual condemnation proceedings,
feeling satisfied that the commissioners
would award the property owners very
much less than they asked for the land.
They therefore recommended that the
land, about forty acres in extent, in
Guiding the lake, be designaed for park
purposes and condemned at cost not
to exceed $4,000.
Commissioner Marsh said he favored
the scheme of park in that vicinity.
but would like to avoid further issu-
ance of bonds if the land could be OBJ
tanned in any other way.
Commissioner Boardman further eX-
planned the facts in the case as above
cited. and on motion the report was re-
ferred to the committee on designation
hf grounds.
On recommendation of the committee
on police, Superintendent of Parks
Berry was placed in charge of the park
police, and the following applicants
were appointed on the force: John
Wright, Nelson Beaudet, A. A. San
ford, Martin Olson, John l.. Eklund and
George c. Wright. On motion of Coun-
Gilman Babb the pay of foot patrolmen
was fixed at 500 per month, and that of
mounted men at SS5.
The committee on shore rights and
privileges thought it would establish a
dangerous precedent to allow the adj
ventists to use park lands at Minnehaha
for camp meeting purposes, and the pc
tltlon was denied. On their recon-
mendation the Crescent club was given
permission to erect bath house at Lake
Calhoun, subject to the approval of the
board.
The committee on procuring right of
way for the Minnehaha boulevard, re-
ported that land for that purpose to the
amount of forty-fve acres, extending
from Humboldt avenue east, would be
given by the property owners. but a
small strip between Humboldt and Lake
Harriet boulevarde will have to be at
tanned by condemnation, which the
committee recommended. The report
was adopted.

committee on securing reduction OF
for reason they did not care to make
known, the committee had not held any

STANDING ROOM Only.

The early morning excursions insti-
tuted by the fair sex were abandoned
and the ordeal of entering car full of
men who exhibit sudden and intense
interest in their newspapers, has been
foregone. The riding to and from down
town has been in express wagons, drawn
by cadaverous horses, furniture vans
and even drays, and ten cents has been
the fare, while the lines have run only
on leading thoroughfares. necessitating
long walks on cross streets.
The man who has made it a practice
to wait until the street car has had a
block the start of him. has missed his
usual exercise.

Brings Tears to His Eyes.
The Cecilian Quartette had a good
programme but small audience at its
concert at the Hennepin Avenue thea
ter. The smallness of the house led
Mr.. Barnabee. on his appearance, to
indulge Gin a witty speech, in which
he mildly roasted a morning paper for
the unkind cut it had given him in its
yesterdays issue. "That was the hard
est cut l ever got.' remarked Mr..
Barnabee. sit was enough to make
people cut and run from this enter
tainment, which seems to have
been the effect.'' The Bostonian
then turned his attention to the piano
and sang the Three Fishers in aman-
ner that could have been improved
upon, and followed it up with "The
Cork Leg" in a style that could
hardly have been bettered. The
applause was very loud, and
when Mr.. Barnabee reappeared
he explained that the agents of the
piano. used Oh the stage, were doing
their work. An imitation of dude. a

close of the programme Mr.. BaTnabee
