ALL ABOUT CURVES.
The Street Car Company Want
Their Old Cable System Plans
A,,,>porod

Approved.
G. II. Goodrich, general manager of
the street railway company. was as busy
a man as there was in the city yesterday
Afternoon. He spent good portion of
the time in the council chamber doing
missionary work among the aldermen
who CHANGED to be present. The
question which is troubling the mind of
the energetic street railway manager is
whether the council will approve the
plans for the electric roads. The per-
picking point in this matter is the QueS-
ton of curves. When the street railway
company decided to put in the cable
system a standard curve was decided
upon and incorporated in the plans
which were approved by the
council. Now a cable cannot
be operated advantageously around
a very sharp curve, so there
was no objection made to the running
of the tracks rather close to the curb
OH some curves, and, now that the cable
system has been abandoned in:some sec
raised to this running of cars SO close
was the recent sQuabble over the curve
on Riverside and Cedar avenues. Now,
an electric car can be operated on a
shorter curve than can a cable car, but
the street railway company does not, OH
that account. desire to put in shorter
curves, because the long curves are bet
ter for them. That was Mr.. Good
rich's mission at the city hall yester-
day. He wants the old plans, which
were drawn for the cable system APP
proved for the electric system. 1t is
scarcely probable that it will be done.

BoARDMAN ISN'T WORRIED.
What He Says About That. Petition
For Committee Meeting.

l.
For Committee Meeting.
The Times, which seems to be acting
during the political compaign thus far
much as did the guerrillas during the
war of the Rebellion, yesterday morn
ing climbed upon the neck Of A. j.
Boardman and proceeded to 60 through
a sort of war dance because of Board
mans alleged exhibition of gall in re-
fusing to call a meeting of the Republi-
can county committee this week.
BOardman was roasted as Merriam
henchman because, as the paper stated,
he refused to comply with the wishes
of the majority of the county committee.
The statement was made that petition,
signed by eleven of the nineteen men,
bers of the county committee, asking for
a meeting this week, had been pre-
scented to Boardman, and that he had
told everybody concerned to 60 to the
devil. Now what does Boardman say
to all this?-
Mr.. Boardman was seen yesterday
afternoon, just after the ball game. He
had enjoyed the game and didn't seem
much worried about politics. When
asked about the committee matter he
said:
l. S lIucS yCSLCIudy IuloCO SOOu
deal of hurrah about nothing. Now,
Pll tell you about that petition. 1t was
presented to me last night and asked
for the calling of the committee meet
ing not later than the 25th-that is. to-
day, Wednesday. Now, three members
of the committee live outside the city,
and it would have been impossible to
notify them. Besides, knew of some
of the committee who were out of town.
and one of the signerS of that petition
for q call recollected afterward that
he would have to be out of the city for
day or two. said to them: There's
no use getting in hurry about this.
Let's settle on some favorable time
which will give us a chance to notify
every member of the committee. There
is no use for rushing. An opinion that
won't keep a week isn't worth keep
ing So we did that and decided to call
the meeting for the LIST of July. Nearly
all the members who came to see me
agreed with me on the matter. We
thought it wouldn't be fair to call a
meeting without every member being
given chance to be present. l know
how the man who got up the petition
did 1t. He went to one man and said:
Now, I want this meeting for such and
such reason, as matter of accommo-
dation;:: to another and said, 'So-and-so
wants this meeting at such time,' and
to another and said, 'Boardman wants
to run this thing and we don't want to
let him. That's the way he did it-by
playing upon prejudtceS-but it won't
do him much good"

there is no money available to pay that

bic. 1t may be possible to pay it after

On July it is possible that there will
be some important changes i'll summer
opera circles. For some time the
various leaders and managers OF the
Baker Opera company, now playing at
the Harris theater, have been seen III
close consultation, and, at one time, 1t
was reported that the company would
go to pieces before the management
was finished. The first troubles were
due to the unpopularity OF stage
manager JaXon, who prevented
small disputes, and made himself
generally disliked. Part of the COM
pany was obliged to leave in order to
ape the petty annoyanceS, and later
it became rumored that Mr.. Baker
would only play out the season. with
the agreement that the theater manage
ment would guarantee the salaries, ana
he would give them the use OF his
wardrobe. This was offered Ill order 70
keep the company together untll the
fall season opened.
Since that time something else has
turned up, said to be in the nature OF
partner in the concern, but at any rate
the present company will cease to exist
July |. Part of the chorus, about SIX
in number, will be taken East by Mr..
Baker for his Eastern company, and the
balance will remain here, where it is
said they will join a new company.
which will start out with bright pros
poets. May Duryea. well known in
Minneapolis past theater seasons, is re-
ported to have signed for the Buffalo
company. but it is generally understood
that she will join the company that is
to start from Minneapolis.
If proper arrangements can be made,
it is understood that the new company
will play out the summer season in this
city. taking the road the first week in
September. The new company will be
mainly owned by Frank Deshon, the
clever comedian of the Baker company.
but who will be associated with HIM in
the venture, has not yet been learned,
although it is asserted that Mr.. Baker
will have some stock in it. Mr.. Jaxon
will not be retained. as his influence is
said TO be detrimental. The full plans
OF the new concern will be published in
a few DAYS.

to her at once OF never see her alive, it
was an unfortunate thing for Mr.. I'm

newspapers, and Mrs. j. NJ. Underwood,
Of Minneapolis, from whom her hus-
band had been absent for two months,
read the story and was made uneasy in
her mind. She telegraphed him to
come home at once, and he answered
that he would arrive on the 25th. Mr..
Underwood, in all interview with re-
porter in Marquette, states that he
simply befriended the girl, who he
feared was subject to fits of insanity.

MINNEAPOLIS SCHOOLS.
Supt. Bradley's Annual Report to
the Board of Education.

the Board of Education.
Supt. Bradley's annual report to the
board Of education is minute docu-
ment, containing valuable school his
tory and many useful suggestions re-
garding school work. 1t speaks of the
crowded condition of the schools, which
has been relieved somewhat by the al
ternating sessions, which allow
double set of pupils to be taught in the
same rooms. He speaks highly of the
efficiency of the corps OF teachers, and
especially the new additions, the ma
jority of whom have received either
normal school or collegiate education.
0According to the report, the whole
number of schools during the year was
46, including all the classes in rented
buildings. The number of teachers on
the pay roll was 500. including the SUI
perintendent, supervisors and princi-
pals. The total enrolment of children
at the day schools for the year was 20
592. an increase over that of 1889 of
1886. The night schools had total ell
rollment of 1,750, of which 1885 were
males, and 465 females, the average
number enrolled at one time being 800,
the average attendance being 76l. The
attendance at the schools for the year is
classified as follows, together with the
capacity of the schools:
Youths in the city years of age....... 8, 700
Number between and Is years. 49,. %, 600
Number between Is and u years. %, 600
Number of school buildings. .......... 20

One of the most interesting features
of the report is that part which relates
to the teachers training class. About
thirty were admitted to the class in
September and twenty-nine graduated
in June. Mr.. Bradley favors the
keeping of the class down to smaller
better opportunities for practice by the
pupil teachers. The report deals largely
with the department in physical train
ing, and the fact is pointed out that the
exercises have proven so popular that
classes of school children have been
frequently asked to give entertainments
in various parts of the city.
In speaking of related work the re-
port says: 1.-The number of school chill
dren between the ages of seven and
fourteen years who do not attend school
is comparatively small in the city, but
there are multitudes of them III the.
state, considerable number OF whom
lind their way to the city every year.
bringing with them their ignorance and
low aims in life. 1t is, therefore, a
matter of direct interest to the city to
secure the enactment of general law
prohibiting child labor and making our
educational provision effective III all
parts of the state"
The board agreed to send an invita-
ton to the delegates of the Nationul
Teachers association, which meets in
ST. Paul next month, to spend day
with it in Minneapolis. The invitations
will be confined to the actual delegates
and officers. the visitors not being in
cluded, as the expense was thought to
be too heavy. The petition OF parties
to be allowed the use of school rooms
for instruction in foreign languages
was denied, and the S. a month that has
heretofore been paid to teachers for in
struction in double sessions, was Or
dered discontinued, as the time is no
longer than in the single. A request for
an addition to the Prescott school was
referred to the building committee.
The high school senior year in the
branch high schools came up in the
manner of lengthy petition, and was
referred to the committee on rules. 1t
is thought that the committee will pre-
pare it's report during the vacation, as
the matter has been agitated before.
