" men tne pulpltS vacant are,
No longer Will they list to cant.
Is there no appeasing balm,
On GileGd's historic hills?
Let this then some comfort give,
Some one else will pay their bills.
Farewell, Burrell: exit. Thwing;
Where will excitement come from now?
Some other hands will soon applaud,
And weave fair garlands for each brow.
No more will eloquence supreme,
In caustic terms be hurled at space;
In other lands the pastors grand.
VIII mould the Anglo-SaXon race.
The investigating committee of the council
adjourned yesterday without examining any
witnesses. During the day the individual
members Of the committee sald lhey were
waiting for Arthur J. Elliott, but Mr.. Elliott
did not put in an appearance. Then it was
said that he would be present at the meeting
OH Monday, and as he is the only witness the
committee cares 10 examine at present there
was nothing further tor 1t TO do until that
time. 1t was intmated, however, that the
adjournment was due to the instructions of
the leaders, who wanted chance 10 talk
over matters and possibly "fX things" The
public is not in humor to have things
fixed" If any city official has gone wrong
the people want the committee 10 say so i'll

The people of South Minneapolis were
positive that if the council would refuse TO
grant c. H. Benton a market franchise and
give the natives chance. they would build a
market that would be credit to the city.
No sooner is Mr.. Bentons project killed
than the people who are going 10 perform
wonders commence fighting against each
other and it is now probable that unless
their differences are amicnbly settled, South
Minneapolis win have to get along as best it
can without market house
According to the information in the pos
session OF some of the members OF the board

Since Aid Emerson Cole repudiated his
interview with Times reporter and exon
Grated Charles F. Haney from all blame in
the alleged Doodle matter, the city clerk has
resumed his usual twenty-seven-inch smile.
II has been freely stated on the streets that
there is a combination IN the council which

There has been good deal of complaint
recently among probate judges over the law
passed by the late legislature establishing
system of fees for filing papers in probate
court. The system was adopted with the
idea Of establishing source OF revenue for
the county. but the amount so realized,
after expenses and salaries have been de-
Quoted, is so small as to be scarcely worth
consideration. The fees are graduated from
five cents up to a dollar, and the system ne
ceSsitates q complicated system or book
keeping. More than this, the number OF per
sons who do not understand the provisions
of the law is legion, and vast amount OF
annoyance is caused by persons who live
outside the city mailing papers here to be
filed without inclosing the necessary fee.

next session of the Legislature to repeal the
law.
Vice President Goodrich, Of the Minneapo-
lis Street Railway company, said Yesterday
that his company could not think of placing
electric lights on the poles which he proposes
TO place in the middle of the street, because
the cost Of lighting would be 100 much
Some day the people OF Minneapolis Will
awaken to the fact that the street railway
company consults only its own interests, and
then there will be a howl about allowing
them TO monopolize the best thoroughfares
without giving the city any return.
II. S.Varnum has challenged Emerson Cole
10 meet him on the bloody sands of the arena
with hard gloves. Charles Haney will second
Cole and the Times Office will be bottleholder
for Narnum. Coles coat OF arms will be the
character rampant on political field agent
while Narnum's shield will bear pen tren-

news columns interesting Cole will be
clad in Il cloak OF reputation and his adVer-
gary in false teeth and confident smile
The park commission see nothing about
Minnetonka which can be made over to it by
Capt. Snider's bill except the water, But
the water could be held i'll trust by the park
board for the city, and be used to keep future

While it seems unchristianlike 10 find
cause for Joy in the misfortuues of others,
the public thanks the inability of Ryan, the
base ball player, 10 talk for one blessing. He

The rumOr that the New York World is be-
hind the attempt to secure DR.. Burrell for
New York, with q view to booming its Sun

combination of New York space writers and
newspaper photographers that is at the bottom
OF the call.
Rev. John L. Scudder, of Jersey City, for
merly Of Minneapolis, is said to be preach
ing on live subjects j. e., the politicians in
power down there 1t is a good thing for
him that MIR. Scudder left Minneapolis. He

1t is no wonder that the reports Of strike
of The TTlbuneS local staff caused comment
in that papers office. The reporters on the
building and loan association boomer have
not strength enough left to strike if they
wanted to.
An evening paper announces that there is
more trouble i'll Zion, which is comforting
news to those who are looking forward to

A Journal reporter, evidently the same one
who had such a nice little time with Max
O'Rell short time ago. has been ont again,
but this time his work is full of errors He
does not go into detail as he should, and he
has not given to his readers that complete
picture of the occurrence which is now de-
manded in newspapers This novelist albeit
yet in the chrysolis stage, went down to st.
Paul TO meet Thomas Lowry, ana he chroni-
cles the fact that Lowry exchanged hur-
ried greeting with the Journal man
he would buy a paper. Whether Thomas
laughed becaus he still had money enough
to buy a paper or because il is such an unus-
ual circumstance for paltry millionaire to
buy paper is not stated, Afterward, Thorn

not analyzed, as it should have been. The
reporter also heard a suspicious snOre. But

cation. Mr.. Lowry also sank into blue
plush covered seat and toyed with his newly
clipped beard" but here the reporter is
guilty of another serious oversight. Why it
was not red plush, or green plush. or yarle,
gated plush, anything but blue plush, is not
stated, nor is the name OF the manufacturer
OF the plush, nor the name of the barber who
did LoWry's beard clipping, mentioned. Then
the reference TO "aeeting panorama OF
farm, village and side track is not quite
complete. Who owns the farms, what are
the names of the villages, and what company
owns the side tracks? Moreover, there are
those who believe that there is not enough
farm and village between the Twin Cities to
make even a small photograph, not to speak
of panorama OF course MIR. Lowry said,
"See you later" He always does-in the
Journal-but what has become of that his
toric iuvitation-also in the Journal-"have

some grave mistakes.
