RAISING MINNEToNKA.
Another Proposition That May
Possibly Be Accepted.

sAAOthCf EFODOSiIlOn InaC May
Possibly Be Accepted.
The old problem of raising the water
level in Minnetonka comes up again,
but in such shape that there seems
possibility of something being done in
the matter. The board of county COM
missiOners has been making a pilgrim
age to the lake to look over the stu
alton. They have conferred with the
MInnetonka Mill company, the corpor-
alton that controls the outlet OF the lake.
An agreement has been formulated that
Will be presented to the board at its
next meeting for ratification. The
agreement is as follows:
In consideration of the owners of the
Minnetonka mill property Withdrawing all
obJectons to the confirmation Of the award,
ana In further consideration of their allow
ing the county commissioners to take imme-
dlate possession of the dam instead of wait
ing two years, or until the amount of the
award can be raised by taxation, the COM
mlssloners have agreed to lease to the mill
company Tor fifty years, al 81 per year, the
ground upon which the buildings stand and
to confirm the award made by the appraisers
the county to have the right to open or
close the gates, as they see fit, to maintain a
proper stage of water in the lake: the owner
snip OF the mill and elevator buildings and
machinery to remain in the mill COMPANY
Mlnnetonka has been without an out
let for three years. When the gates of
the dam were opened that length of time
ago. the level of the lake was lowered
five feet. The legislative enactment
contemplates raising the level three
feet. The award of $1,000 authorized
to be made for the purpose of securing
control of the gates and the dam will
not become operative for two years yet,
when the money will be raised by taxa
ton. This arrangement is made for
the purpose of giving the board immedi-
ate control of the dam and gates. 1t is
not thought that there will be any kick
on this plan. The only kickers will be
the owners OF lake property, who will
ment. 1t is not believed that they will
have any obi ectIons to offer.

THE CRIsPs AS ACTORS.
An Incident That Happened in the
Days of the Late Unpleasant


When Congressman Amos J. Cum
mings and Congressman Charles E.
Crisp were introduced in the house cafe
few years ago, says the New York
World, Cummings said: ''Why, Judge,
l was boy attache of a theater in
which you played leading roles some
forty years ago. Cummings wink at
others present did not escape the GeOr-
gian, who turned the joke with the
reply: ideally, Mr., Cummings, you
are more of an ancient than | supposed;
| was mewling infant when you were
working for my father"
1t was in the South and during the
war period that the speakers father
and mother were best known. The

Harry Crisp, and others"-were not so

days as are our present-day troupes.
But with $40 Tin confederate money! for
each admission ticket, their receipts
were greater than are even Bernhardt's,
When they struck a town where SOL
diers were encamped the gray uniforms
were as numerous as are dress suits at
a DAILY opening night.
1t was in Macon, Ga, in February,
1865, that the Crisps received a notable
tribute to the realism of their acting.
THE Lady of the Lake" was on, with
Harry Crisp as Fitzjames and Sam
Hubbard as Roderick. Hubbard had
quit the stage for the army, been
wounded and was in the hospital at
Macon, but had sufficiently recovered
to, on request, appear for the elder
Crisp, who was indiSpoSed. Among the
soldiers in the audience was a member
OF the company of which Hubbard was
captain, with big cast-iron six-shooter,
one of a Confederate armory make,
with a popularity that the firing of
one barrel insured the simultaneous dis
charge of the entire six. The soldier
was charged with sorghum (cane)
whisky. but not too heavily to recognize
in the disguise of Clan Alpine's chief
his own cOmpany's commander. When
FitzjameS and Roderick met in death
struggle the soldier with the army pis-
tol became excited, and when finally he
saw his captain down he rose and fired
at his slayer. That fusillade, though
fortunately hitting no one, emptied the
stage and a considerable part of the
auditorium.

Fire Laddies Appropriately Honor
Their Supporters.

Chief Runge, of the fire department;
First Assistant Chief Kinney and Sec

kindly remembered by the members of
the fire department. Last night they
were called to headquarters and, much
to their surprise, found a large number
of fire laddies from the various houses
awaiting their arrival. Mr.. Snider,
private secretary of the chief, presented
each with an elegant diamond stud, eX-
planning that they had been purchased
by the members of the department, and
were given as token Of esteem to their

Flour Output Improving.

The Miller says that more flour was

the week was POI, 100 barrels-ayer-

rels last week. $50, 400 barrels for the
corresponding time in 1890. and 14O,64O
barrels in 1889. While the water power
is again good this week. it is evident
that there will be a falling off in the
weeks production, for all the mills will
shut down for Christmas. and some on
Saturday as well, so that the last half
of the week will not show full returns.

NORTHROP WILL RESIGN.
He States That His Statement to
That Effect Was Not a Bluff


Park Commissioner Northrop still
sticks to his determination to resign his
seat upon the board, although sufficient
time has elapsed since Mondays meet
ing to allow him to change his mind if
he were going to. Speaking of the mat
ter yesterday, he said:

II the rules are not right they should be
made so. That was the primary cause
OF my taking exception to the clause. 1t

ing for some time past. as my business
IS such that it should take all my time.
when am away to a meeting of the
board for half day out on some of the
business connected with il, my business
suffers, as the other members Of the
firm are absent most of the time.
Our firm does do business with the
board, but did so years before / ever

elected, l hardly think that it is con-
slstent to say that we cannot longer sell
to the board"
Asked If he would reconsider his de-
termination if the park board refused to
accept his resignation he said that he
would not care to take any action to
create dlScOrd in the board, but that he
intended to resign and would vacate his
seat unless the board absolutely refused

KENNEDY is THE MAN.

it, but recognizing Kennedy's stronger
claim by seniority in service he declined
to make fight against him.
PatrOlman John Cronin has been ad-
vanced to the vacancy left in the list of
sergeants by the promotion of Kennedy.

They Nav Not Get II.

The fremen of nearly all grades are
clamorng for more pay, but with very
slight prospects of a realization of their
wishes. The captains feel that they
should receive S1G0, instead of SS5, per
month, and the lieutenants and pipe
men think that they too should be ad-
vanced. The fremen held a meeting
Sunday last and decided to ask that
their pay be increased from 5000 to
$1,000 per year. This all-around advance
would cost the city $4,000 per year ad-
ditional, and it is not likely that it
will be made, as the appropriations for
1892 have already been made.

Yibrato and Tramolo.

Opera goers are constantly using the
words vibrato and tremolo, and yet few,
perhaps. could tell wherein these two vo-
complicated by the fact that the words do
not mean the same thing In instrumental
and vocal music. Violinists and violin
cellists frequently produce o fine effect by
a sort of rapid, nervous shaking Of the
left hand without raising the finger from
the string This is called vibrato. while a
tremolo is the succession of sounds by
rapidly moving the bow up and down on
the same note. In vocal music, on the
other hand, this apparent rapid iteration
of the same note (really due to an alter
nate weakening and strengthening Of the
tone) is called yibrato, while the tremolo
in vocal 10 usic resembles the instrumental
vibrato. In vocal music both of these
habits are objectionable, except in very
rare cases.
