RED DOG FOREVER.
How the Proprietor of "Red Dog

How the Proprietor of "Red Dog
Paste Hall' Became Cleverly
Burlesqued.
IA free dog fight! This dog is Mike
Breslauer's famous fighting pup Red
Dog that will soon fight five scratches
at the Peek-a-boo club with "Soft-shell
Crab" This was the somewhat start
ling inscription painted OH the sides Of
an express wagon, highly decorated
with bunting, that pafaded the streets
yesterday afternoon from B until 5. a
glance at a high pedestal that had been
erected in the center Of the wagon re-
as if he hadn't enough life to
bite a good, vigorous piece of
beefsteak. The animal was securely
chained to big 1.-TWO by four"
and closely watched by keeper, while
another boy sat on high seat and
shouted at the top of his voice, in the
language of the circus. that before the
big show would commence there would
be free exhibition in front of the big
tent, and cautioned the citizens to see
that their horses were securely tied. AS
the wagon rolled mp the main thorough
fares all classes of pedestrians stopped,
read the signs on the wagon, and then
held their sides with laughter. An
actor in front of the NlcoIlet said THAT
beats the Evangeline dog burlesque all
holow.' 1t appears that Mike Bres-
auer, the city bill poster, had hired
messenger boy, placed tag on the
dogs neck, and sent him up through
the main streets and presented him to
friend. His friends did the rest. 1t
was rumored late last night that a
"plunk'' had been heard in the river
and the bill-posting Office would be va
cant today.

A Successful Meeting of Congre
gatiOnaI Societies.
The Woman's Missionary Union of
Minneapolis Congregational churches
held an ali-day meeting yesterday at the
Plymouth church. The attendance
large at both the afternoon and morn
ing sessions, and the speakers were all
interesting. In the evening Miss Ger
trude A. kuth gave historical sketch
of japan, which proved to be carefully
prepared and instructive paper. Mrs
Lyman Bartlett, who is an enthusiastic
missionary writer, and who has spent
some time in the cause at Smyrna. gave
a long talk upon the kindergartens
in that place. Mrs. Henry Plant
also delivered an interesting discourse,
and after recess Mrs. Bartlett spoke
again. Luncheon was served at 6:15,
and at 7:30 the evening session began
with an even larger attendance than at
the afternoon meeting. Miss Susie
Mckay contributed the solo, Light
from Heaven" after which Mrs. Keyes
read a paper on the "Revision of Com
mercial Treaties with JAPAN" that
was by far the most enjoyed
of any of the readings presented.
''Notes from Our Reporters" was
responded to by numbers OF the ladies'
and Mrs. Bartlett again spoke upon
some of her experiences in Smyrna.
George A. Lyman gave history OF the
Y. MICA. in Japan, and told of the good
the society was doing in that land, both
in Outstanding and educating the peo-
pie. Mrs. E. A. Davis. sang as solo
1.-THE Kingdom of Love-" The ladies
are more than pleased with the meeting,
and state that, in point of attendance
and interest, il was beyond their hopes.

THE CITY TO 90 1T.
e. G. Patter's Street Lighting
Plan Endorsed by Representa-
tive Bodies.

e. G. Patter's Street Lighting
Plan Endorsed by Representa-
tive Bodies.
A meeting of the joint committee ap-
pointed by the trades and labor assem-
bly,, the Single Tax league and the Ma
tionallst club to consider the subject of
municipal electric lighting, was held at
S12 East Fourteenth street last evening.
Upon invitation, Aid. E. G.. Patter
had made in that direction.
He had found that when the munich
palities did their own Lighting better
service was secured and the cost was
reduced.
Mr.. Potter said: ''If it costs just as
much to do our own lighting as it would
under contract it would be better for
the city to own the plant, because the
service would be much better than that
received now" After considerable dis
cusSion the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, One of the chief causes of ex-
travagant expense as well as of corruption
in cities is the letting to private individuals
contractors or corporations that which the
city can best do for itself; and
Whereas, Iteosts Minneapolis $50 year
per lamp under its present system, and Ypsi-
ianti, Mich. With a lighting plant under
municipal control but trifle over S23 per
lamp per year for the same service; and
Whereas, The average price paid to private
parties by ninety cities in the United States
is $lo5 per lamp, while the average cost for
the same service under municipal manage
ment averages in seventeen cities reported
only So, or less then half as much, and
Whereas, In these figures there is abundent
evidence that in the matter of street light
ing there is a golden opportunity for the
city to save money; therefore be it
Resolved, That the members of this COM
mittee urge their respective organizations to
work for the establishment of a municipal
electric lighting plant in this city TO be
operated by the city.

A Workhousc COnvict's Plan for
Wholesale Delivery.

A Work house COnvict'S Plan Tor
Wholesale Delivery. =
There was considerable excitement at
the workhouse stone quarry on Tuesday
afternoon, and the prompt action OF the
guards was the only thing that pre-
vented wholesale escape of the prison.
ers. James Connolly. an all-round
tough. whose term would have expired
yesterday, planned the affair by (which
the thirty-four men at the quarry were,
at given signal, to break away and
make rush Tor liberty. Connolly
struck one of the men. and this brought
Guard John Courtney TO the rescue.
Connolly knocked the guard down and
called on the rest of the prisoners
to ''make break" but they
didn't respond quick enough
for the other guards stood on the top of
the quarry with Winchester rifles in
their hands and ordered the men back.
Connolly was quickly oyerpoWered. and
yesterday he was taken before Judge
Mahoney in the municipal court and
sent back TO the workhouSe for ten days
more. He told the court that he would
rather go to the county Jail, because
the people at the workhOuse would
abuse him." but the court SAID he would
have to return TO that institution, and
Supt. West assured the court that Con-
nelly would receive the same treatment
as the other prisoners. Thomas HOban
was sent to the workhouse yesterday
for twenty days for stealing two billiard
balls from Charles Stengle'S saloon, at
2O2 Hennepin avenue. Ne lie Mills was
forced to admit that she had a very bad
record, and when the police testified
they had seen her elected from two sa-
looms Tuesday night before they ar
rested her, Judge Mahoney sent her to
the Workhouse for sixty days.

their inteneiOn of joining at the first
opportunity. (
The object of the society is to pre-
serve the traditions connected with the

congress viii pass more than one bill for
the Twin Cities at one session. The state
ment of Platt B. Walker that there is in the
treasury departments at Washington S146, 900
for the river Improvements is found by Capt.
Snlder to be not strictly true, as the condi-
ton is attached that some land owned by q
syndicate be returned to the government.
