A Street NUISANCE.
Railroad Ticket Peddlers and
Hotel Runners Should Be
Abolished.
Their Importunings and Noisy
Clamor Positively Intol-
cradle.
A Typical Scene Daily Enact,
ed on Third and Sibley
Streets.
Poor and Simple Foreigners
Subjected to Many Indig-
mites.

The city council last week decided to.
revoke the license of a street railroad
ticket peddler. While not entering into
the merits or dement's of this particular
case, the opinion may be advanced that
instead of calling for the revocation of
this license, the city council would do
an excellent thing if the licenses of
every ticket peddler and hotel runner
were cancelled. These men are COM
plete nuisance. They monopolize two
of the chief thoroughfares of the city;
they are continually coming into con-
tact with the police, requiring their en-
forced appearance in the municipal
court; and in well-governed city their
presence should not be tolerated. The
only reason why this nuisance is con-
tinued is that these men follow their
irresponsible traffic among poor people.
whose power is not strong enough in
the council chamber to make itself felt.

"Erna, the Elf"

Marguerite Fish appeared last even
ing at Lifts opera house before a crowd
ed audience in her play of 'Erma, the
Elf" In the portrayal of the hoydenish
child, Miss Fish follows closely upon
the lines laid down BY the favorite of
the country, Lolita, whose successor she
promises to be. She is possessed of a
particularly sweet voice, and her rem
derlng OF German dialect songs was
loudly encored. j. W. Burton as Rob-
ert Raikes. a drunken villain; Charles
Warren as Sgr. BOsanko, an unfortunate
theatrlcal manager, were particularly
successful among the male members of
the company, while Nellie Strickland as
Araminta, young lady of uncertain
age whose one ambition is to 90 upon
the stage, caused much merriment by
her mock heroics. The rest of the cast
afforded fair support to the star.

The indignities heaped upon these poor

The indignities heaped upon these poor
people are simply preposterous. These
men prowl about Third and Sibley
streets like vultures, and they fall upon
man or wOman-a visitor to the city
eager and willing to pull him or her to
pieces rather than an opponent should
succeed IN carrying off the victim. 1t
certainly Is mistake for city of the
Importance of st. Paul to license such
men. No first or Second-rate hotels will
countenance such employees, and several
OF the railroads.&c. Milwaukee in par
tlcalar-many months ago ceased to en-
pl0y a street man.
Why should railroads employ these
street men? A man walks down Third
street. Whether he is intending to take
railway journey Or not, he is nearly
torn out of his skin by men DESTROYS of
dragging him, against his will, into
their respective ticket offices. 1t is
simply awful for the man who is going
on journey. If he survives the ordeal
of escaping from the hands of these
body snatchers he may congratu-
late himself. The treatment often
times extended to ignorant foreigners
is something outrageous. They are
alphabetically forced-into ticket
offices. TOuterS for hotels are, to a GER
tain extent, excusable in comparison
with the railroad street man. There is
no reason why these men should be en-
ployed by railroads. If railroad can
not exist without them-if the road can
not command its share of the travelling
public without their aid-the sooner it
goes into bankruptcy the better
If street men are necessity for rail-
roads to bolster up their business, the
same claim ought be made by every
business store in the city. Fancy the
DandemOnum the business thorough
fares of a city would present if every
grocery store, shoe store, clothier and
general dealer were to employ man to
run customers into their respective
stores. A person would not be able to
walk the length of block without be-
ing cOllared, and against his will
jumped into store to make an unneces-
sary purchase. And yet if the railroads
there is no reason why tradeSmen
should not have the same privi-
lege. If they once demanded it, there
would soon be an end to the disgraceful
scenes now weekly enacted on Third
and Sibley streets.
The city aldermen cannot adequately
appreciate the inconvenience to which
travellers are subjected by hotel run
ners and railroad street men. Did they,
the nuisance would quickly be abol-
ished. Perhaps some of the aldermen
will find time to visit the district named.
If they dO, scene somewhat on these
lines will meet their eyes: A man
energies from the union depot. He is
instantly surrounded by ten or fifteen
men-hotel runners. One will seize his
bag, another parcel, a third an over
coat, while the rest are clamoring
to initiate the unlucky Individual
into the advantages possessed by
their respective hotels. The stran-
ger to the city. foreigner
generally. becomes bewildered. His

INSTRUCTIVE SERMONS
Delivered by DR.. Sam Smith at the
the Peoples Church.

the Peoples Church.
The usual large audiences were pres
ent, both morning and evening, at the
Peoples church yesterday. Among the
features of the services were the solos
by the new soprano, Miss Richards,
who has made a favorable impression
upon the congregation. AT the evening
service solo and chorus from the Ora
torio of Elijah were rendered.
The morning subject was Robert
Browning's great poem, death in the
Desert" and its treatment consisted of
readings from the author with running
comments by the speaker. In the in
PRODUCTION DIR. Smith drew a parallel
between Matthew Arnold and Robert
Browning. stating that the former rep
resented the culture of learned Eng
land at its very best, but along tradi-
tional lines and resulting in very
acute, though somewhat narrow,
criticism. Robert Browning, on the
other hand, though not so carefully
trained, was much more widely edu-
Gated, having absorbed the life of both
ancient and modern civilizations. HE
was a Titanic genius who burst through
the crust of common life as one of Gods
surprises. and whose education was
guided by the strong force of his own
personality" He was divine product
rather than a product of the school

A Little Child Smothered by a
Cave-In.
