BUSINESS AND COURTESY

Occupied the Last Session of the
south st. Paul Council.
The official terms of some of the South
st. Paul aldermen expired last evening.
and the meeting was the closing one of
the year. They audited all the bills
except few that arose from election
contests, which were referred to the
finance committee. They accepted the
bond of Edward j. Cleary, constable,
and referred the liquor license bonds Of
Oelker u Benson and John Bruggeman
to City Attorney Schroli. The treasur-
er's report showed S9.260.40 OH hand,
and the city attorney reported favorably
on the bonds OF City Treasurer Stapf,
the new incumbent. His bonds were
accepted. Comptroller Todd was au-
thorized to negotiate the sale of $1,000
fire department bonds, and the Union
Stockyards Journal was designated as
the official paper for the ensuing year.
Matters relating to Simon avenue as
SeSSment and impounding were referred
to committees. Vice President Water0us
proposed vote of thanks to Charles
Fitch, who was retiring from the preSi-
dency of the council. He eXtolled the
merits of the superior officer and called
upon him for reply.
In bright and pleasant address
President Fitch reviewed the work of
the council and outlines the best policy
for the future.
Vice President Waterous seconded
Mr.. Fitch's remarks, especially those
relating to the necessity for water
works. He advised start of mains
that could eventually be turned into a
permanent system.
All the councilmen were present ex-

The mems mission now being con-
Quoted at 1873 East Seventh street, has
so far been attended with great success.
The store and basement has been rented
until May l, 1891, for $1,000. The mis-
sion is entirely undenominational, and
was started Feb. IS. Meetings, con-
Quoted along strictly Gospel lines, have

rendered most excellent service in con-
Quoting the mission. At the bl-monthly

of gratitude to and entire dependence
upon Christ for strength. Two mid
night meetings and hot luncheons were
attended by over 600, and the power of
the Holy Ghost was manifested in the
conversion Of drunkards, despairing
and friendless young men. The first
floor is being fitted up so as to serve

THE RANDOLPH LINE,
The Street Will Be Graded and
the Electric Line Laid.

The grade of Randolph street will be
changed and the electric cars will run
out that highway to the Mississippi
river. This was settled at the hearing
last night, after dispute which threat
ened at several stages to result in hope
less disagreement.
Thirty-fve persons interested in the
proposition were in attendance upon
tine meeting Of the board of public
works. Archbishop Ireland, imperturb-
able and pacific, occupied front seat
beside Tom Cochran. They favored the
building of the line, as did Messrs.
Thorpe, Koch, MitSch and Nettleton.
Messrs. York, Fischer and Sharpless
were red-h0t in opposition, claiming
that the poorer property owners on
Randolph we're unable to pay present
assessments, did not want the electric
line and would not be benefited by 1t.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Cochran, after
sharp exchange of words with Mr..
York, how the building of the Grand
avenue line had resulted in a great
increase of values. the building of
$4,000 improvements east OF Victoria
street, and the sale of s50,0 worth of
property west of Victoria-all since the
building Of the lire, and which other
wise would not have been. Chairman
German, of the board, stated that it
was estimated that il would cost $4,000
to grade the Randolph street hill, $1,000
to raise and lower buildings and $1,000
to fill in low lots. Including point 600
feet west OF Seventh. it would be an as
sessmeut OF S24 dpon each lot. The
board could go off Randolph ana assess
parallel streets OH each side. BY so
doug the Randolph street property
owners would have to pay So per lot,
those on the first street each side 81,
and those lot owners Oh the second
street north and south Of Randolph
street So per lot. Property upon the
hill might be assessed little more
than the property of the object
orS, which is on the flatS-Or
more properly, plateau. A proposition
was made by Mr.. Cochran, and agreed
to by Archbishop Ireland, that the as
sessments upon those owners who occu-
pied lots and could not afford to pay
would be borne by the projectors of the
electric line. With this understanding
the objections to the improvement were
withdrawn, and the board voted to send
favorable report to the council.
The council will give all property
owners a chance to be heard and report
back favorably to the board, which will
thereupon order the work. This is the
form, and there is little doubt of its
being the outcome.

FOOTLIGHT AND FOYER.

"Chimes of Normandy" is little
heavy for the Wilbur company. A fair
house greeted it at the Harris lastnight.
1t was thought the German of Strauss
asst week beneath the interest of Mas
cOtte," which was given the week be-
fore; but "Chimes of Normandy" is
hardly up to The Merry War" The
music is as good as the company chorus
can probably make it, but the solo sing
ing last night was sighted work. Miss
Kirwin was her usual self, brim-full of
the sparkle of her genius, but
Miss Baker appeared in me-
chanical mood. Mr.. COnley was
there, but the inimitable Kohnle was
out of the cast. Mr.. Harvey was billed
to appear as the notary, but left the
company for richer fields in the East.
The interest and only artistic perform
ance centered in Mir. Jones' Gaspard.
The departure was refreshing. He was
conscientious, and the realism with
which he inspired his character COM
manded the awe of the house. He was
twice called before the curtain, and a
better GaSpard could not be wished, as
the ovation atteSted. The dancing of
the Bolton sisters was delightful spe-
cialty. The mandolin club. while it is
an accomplished company OF ladies,
should awaken to the fact that ceSSa-
ton of its nightly reiterations, will
save the public Kissing its verdict-de
trop. All the week, usual matineeS.

A FESTIVAL FIASCO.
Secretary Hastings Talks Of

And Gives the Figures Show

officer Peterson Exonerated
in the Neil eastman HON.
icide Case.

L. NJ. Hastings, secretary of the
GoUnod club, under whose auspices the
May musical festival fiourished and
failed, gave out the financial statement
yesterday, and garnished it with roast
on the musical taste of the city. Said he:
ut is deeply to be regretted that the
last two concerts of the May festival
could not be given; but an unaccounta-
bic public apathy, joined to most I'M
accommodating spirit on the part of
some of our own citizens, rendered it
impossible. The festival was managed
economically and carefully, and feast
of music was presented to the public
such as has never been equaled in the
Northwest. But the public did not re-
spond, and no cause that has been
named seems at all asufficient one for the
Indifference shown. No one would have
called it unreasonable to count upon an
attendance of 1000 an evening in st.
Paul when some of the leading singers
of the world appeared here. Even this
meager patronage would have paid eX-
penSes; but the appended statement
shows that this modest expectation was
at fault.
miss Juch informs me that if she is
to open the new opera house in st.
Paul, as has been suggested to her, she
will require the whole of her money to
be paid her before she leaves New
York.
The collapse of Saturday, however,
might have been avoided had it not
been for some of our own people. The
first difficulty was with the orchestra.
Immediately upon encountering this, l
stopped the ticket sale at Dyer's.
Later on, Danz and Siebert were will
ing to make some concessions, and
compromise was abodt effected. Perotti
would not sing, but De We're. Herbert,
the JacobsohnS and Mrs. Wyman were
willing to go on. We would have given
the matinee without Perotti but for the
uncompromiSinga attitude of the Peoples
church trustees. They had already re-
ceived $500, but would not allow the
building to be opened for the matinee
until the money for both the coming
performances was paid them in cash.
1t was not i'll sight, and the attendance
had been too poor tor any one to adj
vance it on prospective receipts. / have
personally redeemed tickets for the
Saturday concerts to the extent of my
own ilOdllos cltiO
and addresses OF other holders to settle
with them as soon as possible.
Il would say further that Dyer &
Bro. had 10 connection with the man
agement of the festival further than to
allow US the use of their store to sell
tickets"
Mr.. Hastings makes the following
financial statement. The expenditures
in excess of the receipts were from per-
sonal advances made by himself and

CORRIDOR CHATS.

Hon. l.. II. McKusick, prosecuting
attorney for Pine county. and who has
served three consecutive terms III the
lower house of the state legislature, ar
rived in ST. Paul yesterday, fresh from
the rural districts and all cooked ana
primed with eloquent praises OF GOV.
Merriam's administration. Indeed, ne
can safely be reckoned among the gov
errors staunchest and most loyal Salel
lites. 1T is all one way up III our
county.r said he to q GLOBE reporter
in the Merchants lobby last night.
sEyerv Republican is for Merriam for
denomination. | hear kind words for
Gen. Clapp and Auditor Braden, but
the consensus of opinion is that Mer-
RAM should be renominated and that
the other gentlemen l mentioned
should be returned to the positions they
hold at present. Gen. Clapp. by the
way, has been up in our county prose-
cutting murder trials, and he made hosts
of friends. And that reminds me that
the governors attitude upon murder
cases has been manly, and it has greatly
strengthened him in the upper districts.
There is really no talk for secretary OF
state, and | have 10 opinion to express
myself"
Genial and blunt Bob Dunn's visit TO-
st. Paul yesterday brings to mind the
rumor that has gained some currency,
that he has withdrawn from the SEN
atorial contest, if the ever actively en-
tered the lists, in favor of j. G. Flynn,
of Little Falls. Yet. it is not at all
doubtful that Bob's Scotcl-lriSh

of the people, with myraidS of friends
and admirers all over the state, more
especially outside of the principal cities.
He is also of the opinion that a
majority of the Democrats of Ramsey
county prefer Mr.. Bierman to any
other candidate that has yet been men
toned as in the canvass for the nOmlna-
ton. Mr.. Bierman'S administration OF
affairs in the custom house demon
strated his rare tact and executive abil-
ity-so says Mr.. BaXter-and he is en-
inently qualified for the gubernatorial
position.

The executive committee having
charge of the educational convention
met at the Ryan headquarters yester-
day. Messrs. Merrill, Wright, Hazard,
Bickel, Gilbert, Cullen and MaXfeld
were in attendance. There is still $1,000
needed to meet the expenses of the
committee, and it is hoped that citizens
who have not already contributed will
do so as early as possible. A letter was
read from George Thompson, asking to
be released as a member of the hotel
and entertainment committee. The
resignation was not accepted, and Mr..
Thompson will be requested to recon-
slider the matter. Prof. Irwin Shepard,
of W mona, was present, and made en-
couraging report in reference to eXcur-
sions. Mr.. Wright reported progress in
the publication of the Official Guide.
Soliciting for entertainment continues
to engroSS the entire attention of the
force, and is meeting with considerable
success, but not enough places have
been secured. A letter from Prof. r.
II. HaIsey, of Oshkosh, Wis, states that
he expects to bring large delegation
from Wisconsin. Miss Brophy returned

ALDERMEN ATTACKED.
The Sunday Law Stirred by Com
merce Chamberlains.

merce Chamberlains.
The chamber of commerce awoke yes
terday morning and electrified itself
and amused the aldermen by vigorously
pitching into them for having desc
Grated the holy Sabbath by meeting on
that day to receive the official delega-
ton from st. Louis. Thomas Cochran
Jr. was the orator of the occasion, and
prefaced his remarks by Introducing the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That this body records its con-
victon of the importance of the observance
of the civil Sunday foa the maintenance of
health and general welfare of the country
and to the preservation or the government
upon which our institutions are based.
Resolved, That we call upon the executive
officer of this city to enforce the ordinances
upon our municipal statute books, placed
there for the protection of this community
in It's rightful observance of Sunday as d day
OF rest and worship.
Taking the floor and assuming very
indignant expression, Mr.. Cochran
walked into the council in strong terms
for that Sunday courtesy. Then he
talked generally on the subject of the
Sunday law and condemned the liberal
tendency in the city and the growing
ldNOI VI tIC OUiiooJ tiiOotCis SOffSCl U
and excursion. In this matter he said
he represented ''yotes, capital and the
best blood of the city,
E. V. Smalley joined issues with him.
He thought certain liberty should be
granted those classes which had only
Sunday for recreation. and believed the
question should be referred to liberal
committee to report the Sunday law and
the best course of procedure. Other
gentlemen spoke on both sides of the
question, and a variety of view was eX-
pressed. The champions of the labor
interest insisted on certain liberty for
the working classes, and wanted to
know when, if not Oh Sunday. these
classes could have excursions. Finally
the motion to refer to committee pre-
vailed. After considerable discussion
the following committee was chosen:
Mr.. Smalley, Col. j. n. Davidson, G. W.
Hackett, d. D. Merrill, Thomas Coch-
ran Jr. Several gentlemen who were
named refused to serve before the
above-named committee was selected.

Several weeks ago Minnie Floeur

Judge Kerr OH May made an order d.

was then Minnie Peterson. came to him
and employed him as an attorney to

her. The marriage was consummated.
Prior to that time Warner collected s105
