The 200 men and women who are
doing this work have "gOtten together"
from two different sources. First, the
academy Of science sent out several
weeks ago invitations, which it still
continues, to all persons who wanted to
study any university subject to hand in
their names. with first and second
choice of work. The responses war
ranted the starting of classes in history.
geology, botany and electricity. But of
those who then stood alone in their re-
quests for certain lines of work, q. W.
McCree. of the Great Northern shops,
has since gotten enough others to join
him to form class in applied me-
chanics, and 2. II. Morouey, of the
postoffice, to form class in mathema-
tics.
Others are interesting themselves to
form classes In other branches. and at
the opening of the new term next Sep
TENDER, it is probable that several new
lines of work will begin. The academy
requires that each class shall consist of
at least twenty-five students, each of
whom shall pay a fee of So for the
twelve weeks course and pledges itself
to secure as an instructor the most COM
petent man obtainable in the state, and
to bear all sundry expenses. 1t is en-
abled to do this through its membership
fees and the aid of several business
men who are interested in the move

rests with the executive board of the

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

"For comptroller, Samuel ii. Mich
ols."
According to the latest and most
authentic reports. the Republican slate
at the present time reads as above
quoted. Whether the Republican ticket
will so read next Tuesday is quite a
different matter, and depends not a little
upon the size and extent of the ''swipe"
the rank and file of the Republicans of
st. Paul get at the Slate delegate tick
cts on Monday evening at the primaries.
But why shouldn't Sam Nichols run
for. comptroller of st. Paul on the Re
publican ticket? More than any other
member of the party in this city he rep
reSents the principle of "holdlng oflce
for what there is in it," and the boys"
could depend on having a high old time
with s NichOl in the Office now filled
by Honest John Roche. But there are
several other reasons why Mr.. Nichols
ought to run for comptroller. They are,
briefly stated
l. The Endorsement of the present
state administration which would be
implied in the nomination Of the gov
ernor'S Oil inspector.
2. 1t would give added emphasis to
the statement that the Nichols family
must be kept in Office by the Republican
party.
In connection with Oil Inspector
Samuefs candidacy and running quail
tiles. it might be interesting to note the
fact that his son, Willie, once ran for
clerk of the district court of Ramsey
county.

A ROUGH REWARD.
Facts Which, If Correct, Would
Warrant Investigation.


In the police court yesterday morn
ing fifteen-year-old boy, whose name
is Sammy A. Johnson, was sentenced to
fifteen days in the workhouse for
drunkenness. The officer appearing
against him claimed that he arrested
Sammy ON West Seventh street because
he was drunk and boisterous. The dis
position of the boy was the result of his
perplexity under such circumstances.
free him he pleaded guilty, was SEN
fenced and hustled off to the work
house.
Sammy johnson is the son of the
boatman, johnson, who so generously
assisted in the search for the man who
suicided last Saturday night by jump
ing into the river. All day last Sunday
Sammy rowed his boat up and down the
river dragging for the man, for whom
the authorities refused. or at least neg
lected to search. Sammy con-
tinued his search during the en-
tire week. but his efforts were
futile because the authorities refused to
furnish him with graphing hook.
Friday afternoon Sammy was urged to
again drag for the body. This he did.
and for his good work he was crowned
with the misfortune Of falling over
board. Drenched and half drowned, he
managed to reach the shore. When
again on terra firma his companions
helped him up to saloon on the upper
levee, where the proprietor was invoked
to compound decoction for the sick
freezing boy. He was given drink.
and when his clothes we're dry he was
prevailed upon to swallow another dose
of bad liquor. This had the effect of
Grazing the boy, who then started for
home on flag" The policeman saw
the '.jag," and hustled Sammy into the
pen. Sammy johnson, though poor, is
an honest lad of fifteen years, and his
unfortunate incarceration is the reward
he gets for serving the county in look
ing for dead body, which was decom-
posing in our midst, when the paid Off
Gals of this city were derelict enough
to neglect it. Sammy's mother is dead,
and his father is lone fisherman. and
now sick a-bed, who can i'll afford to
dispense with Sammy's help.

The fire department of st. Paul is an
arm of the administration, to the eX-
cellence of which it is scarcely neees-
Sary TO call attention. 1t has never
been made the object OF attack, or even
of hostile criticism, but its record is a
part of the record of the present adj
ministration, which is directly RESPONSE
BILE for its successful and economical con-
duct. The st. Paul department has al
ways been regarded as model, and for
years comparisons were made with
other cities of the same relative import
ance. for the purpose of exploiting the
efficiency and economy of the home in
stitution; but, perfect as the force had
always seemed, Chief John Jackson has
succeeded in raising it still higher. The

following figures, drawn from the re-
port of the board of fire commissioners,
show the improvement recorded in the
year in which Chief Jackson took hold:

The good work st. Paul has accom-
plished in fire fighting is due almost
solely to the discipline and efficiency of
the department, and not to the use of
or larger manual force. 1t is fact
that probably not a single city in the
United States of the size of st. Paul
but has larger uniformed department,
and more fire fighting machiHes. The
following tables institutes ascOlnpari
son with Milwaukee, Minneapolis3au

because they are practically of one size,
and their data was readily obtalnable.

In scanning comparative statements of
this character it must be remembered
that the st. Paul department has under
its charge much larger built-over
territory-the midway district-than
either of the other cities PANIED, and it
was notable fact that several Of the
largest fires of last year were where
water was either unobtainable and
the fire itself was exceedingly
difficult of access. Under the
first head came the Van Hoyen packing
house fire, of year ago, and the st.
Paul roller mill last November. In the

the peculiar location of the mill on the
bluff rendered the work Of the 1iremen
extremely hazardous; and yet in this
fire, In saving the large elevator, the de-
partment accomplished one of the best
pieces of work of the year. There has
always been another obstacle to success
full FIRE fighting in st. Paul and that was
the electric wire nuisance in the bust
ness center. The force Of this state
ment will be apparent to all who wit
messed the burning of the Omaha rail-
road Offices in January of last year.
The general service Of the fire depart
ment, its discipline and efficiency have
not been referred to in this connection
because of any criticism that has been
or may be made, but simply because the
department is piece of the present
Democratic city administration OF st.
Paul, and the whole is judged by the
parts, as it Is made up of parts. The
fire departments record is simply an
another unanswerable argument in
favor of the continuance in power of the
party that gave and is responsible for
the present administration.
