SOLD THEIR BONDS.
Happiness Is Again in the Hearts
of the Court House Commits


sion.
The board of court house and city
commissioners are feeling easier In
their minds now. They won't have to
stop work. The offer made for s250.OOO
worth of AZ per cent bonds has been
accepted.
When the commission met yesterday
morning Commissioner johnson re-
ported the offer which he had received
from Blair IL Co., of New York. and
interest for $500, 600 of city bonds, bear
ing interest at the rate of AZ per cent,
payable in gold, the bonds to run thirty
years. Blair IL Co. also agree to advance
$1,000 pending the printing of the bonds.
AT the meeting yesterday morning the
board voted unanimously to accept this
offer. Then he sat down for little
confidential talk with the contractors.
Commissioner De Laltre explained
that the resolution offered by him at
the last meeting was made with the eX-
pectation that the bonds could not be
sold. But that resolution was recon-
sidered and the board was now free to
60 ahead with the work. However, the
bonds cannot be printed for month
yet, at the very least, and the money
received. This explanation was maze
to the contractors as a hint that they
must not expect to get all their money
promptly. Baxter 81 Son said they
would like to receive their money by
the 18th. They will be supplied. Then
his resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the finance committee OF
the board be and they are hereby directed TO
sell $50 Hennepin and Minneapolis court
house and city hall bonds, city series, num-
bered from 457 to 700. both inclusive, 10 Blair
& Co., New York city, at par and accrued IN
terest Said bonds TO bear date of July /,
1871, and to run thirty years; the interest OH
said bonds to be at the rate OF 4l2 per cent
per annum, payable semi-anrually, interest
and principal payable at the National Park
bank in the city of New York, in American
gold coin.
Resolved, That the proper officers of this
board be and they are hereby directed to ex-
ecute said bonds and deliver them to the
purchasers at Minneapolis upon receipt OF
proceeds OF sale.
The bonds numbered from AL to $50,
city series, bearing date of Jan. l, 1891,
were ordered destroyed. An inquiry
by Commissioner DeLaitre brought out
the fact that the Indebtedness Of the
board is, round numbers, 100000. Pres
ident ClOugh gave it as his opinion that
the board will have to borrow another
100000 before the end of the year.

ness. and an American bank is shortly
to be opened, which promises to
make itself one of the most prominent
and leading monetary Institutions of
the city. This bank will do business on
American principles. 1t will not have
SO much red tape as the other banks,
from depositors and the assurance that
the deposit will be continued for num-
Der of months, as the other banks are
said to require.
Banking is in the first days of its in
fancy in Mexico. The insecurity of the
country in the revolutions and until
about twenty years ago was such that
the people buried their money instead
of depositing it, and there are to-day
millions upon millions of dollars in the
hands of the rich haciendados, which
are buried in the ground or
hidden away under the walls of
their homes. These men have for years
been making money and boarding. They
don't know what interest means. and
they sell their crops and work their
mines year after year and pile away the
surplus. 1t is the same with many of
the poorer classes. Some of these are
richer than they look, and in the coffee
districts hear of men dying who were
supposed to have nothing and from
$4,000 to 100000 discovered about their
mud hutS. This represented the accum-
ulation of years and the secret of its ex-
istence was communicated from father
to son. Every old Spanish family has
its strong box and American merchants
and drummers tell me that appearances
are very deceitful' here, and that you
can't tell how rich one of these rough
looking old farmers is by his clothes.
l was surprised to find that Mexico
had no such agency as Dun or Brad
street. The country has a number of
big cities. Leon has 100, 900, Guadlahara
has 100000. and San Louis Potosi must
have $4,000 people. All these towns and
dozens of others and centers of
trade, still you cannot go into
Mexico City. which is the
wholesale distributing point, and
find the standing of any merchant in
any one of them. The banks have their
own private correspondents, but the
people have no means of obtaining such
information. Notwithstanding this the
system of credit giving is very general,
and both wholesale and retail deal
ers give it. A great many goods
are sold on instruments and a
great deal of money is loaned
on chattel mortgages. AS to mortgages
on real estate, these are few, ana ac-
cording to the laws of the country hard
to realize upon. The titles to the prop
erty are often bad, and the expense of
drawing uD the papers, with the heavy
stamp duties, is great.

AS soon as the reading of the report
had been concluded it was by unanl-
nous vote accepted and placed on HE.
Mayor Winston then called upon DIR.
Chase to say whether or not he had dis
charged Mrs. Bard. The doctor stated
that he had not. He had asked Mrs:
Bard for her designations and she had
refused to resign. Capt. Merriman then
suggested that as no discharge had been
made there was nothing before the
board.
Mayor Winston stated that he would
like to know if DR.. Chase proposed to
discharge Mrs. Bard. If so, he would
like to have him do so at once and make
his report to the board.
This question DR.. Chase lodged. de
stated that he had no desire to ignore
the board, and that he was ready and
willing to consult with the board on all
matters pertaining to his department.
He expressed a desire to hear sugges-
tons, but none were made, and the
board adjourned.
The general opinion is that the doctor
will not press the matter further, as, if
he does, he will be called upon by the
board for his good and sufficient cause,
and may possibly become involved in
some trouble in this way. At all events,
it is not likely that he will "buck" the
board very strongly as long as his posi-
ton is in its hands.

THE BIRTH OF "A PRAYER.

About the church soft music flowed,
Fair voices borne on organ waves;
With tinted light the slim aisleS glowed
Like caves that sunlit waters lave;
The twelve apostles carved in stone
Looked grimly down upon the nave,
Where faces chilly as their own
No sign of klndling fervor gave.
The music and the sunshine kept
The secret of their gladness well,
As DER our heavy souls they swept
The tale of empty praise to tell:
Nor ruby light, nor old, gray walls.
Nor vested priest, nor music fair,
Nor the sweet, holy hush that fails
Within a church, moves hearts TO prayer.
l saw a gray old man bend down
His shaggy head his furrowed face,
And, with pleased and patient froWn.
Help his wee lass to find the place.
The two heads bobbed about the page.
Roses and withered leaves at wlay:
One finger plump, one crooked with age,
Picked verse by verse the doubtful way.
Great glasses jigging to the lines,
Braced his dim eyes the words to trace,
While the small pouter watched the signs
OF hope or failure III his face;
The knOtted finger stopped at last;
So did the plump one, with an air,
And up and down such looks were cast
That i'll my heart was born prayer.

Appeals From the Awards in the
Widening of Hennepin Avenue:

Appeals From the Awards in the
Widening of Hennepin Avenue:
The people living along Hennepin
avenue do not regard the proposed
widening of that thorOughfare as I'M
mixed blessing. Eleven of them have
filed large, fat appeals from the awards
of the commissioners in the district
court. Their complaints may be sum-
married. as follows:
W. NJ. Jenkins wants $1,000 damages
to his property, the Hennepin Avenue
NJ. E. church wants $4,000 Instead of
-, 500: Arthur McMullen wants $1,000;
Anna Ii. Carpenter wants $1,000. Fran
els ). ellison thinks the benefits to be
derived are exaggerated, but doesn't
ask for more damages. James NJ. Will
Jams asks for $1,000. Joel B. BasSett
says the scheme has no good points.
The estate of Alois Knoblauch is dissat-
SIZED on general principles. Jerusha
w ellis and Anna G.. Kitchell want the
W hole matter dropped. They all claim
the commissioners are unjust in their
awards and say the council has no au-
thority to order such a widening.

CHASE HAD AUTHORITY,
But Will He Dare Exert 1t, and
Defy the Board ?

Defy the Board ?
The corrections and charities bill has
been carefully dissected. and has been
interpreted as giving to the city ply
stefan full power as regards the employ
ment and discharge of his subOrdinates.
However, the board of corrections and
charities still has certain powers which
NAV regulate the physician to certain
extent in the exercise of his prerOga-
tives. The board met in special session
Yesterday morning to receive the legal
opiuion of Assistant Attorney Simpson
unon the heretofore doubtful and much
discussed point of the physicians au-
thoritv to discharge an attache of the
CITY hospital, as defined by the organic
act creating and governing the board.
The meeting was called to order at IL
o'clock, and the report was at once
taken up.
The report, although it only touches
upon the portions of the bill which reg
uiate the powers of the city attorney, is
long one, and bristles with technical
terms and legal phrases. Attorney
Simpson holds that the city physician
has full control of the city hospital and
the right to employ or discharge his
SuUOlQlHdNCc at NAlls hllAlOul
the board. In his opinion Mr.. Simpson,
after detailing the duties of the city
physician, states as follows:
In addition to the general du-
ties imposed on the head of this depart
ment, the city physician, he is given
certain powers. and there is in the sec
ton (sec. o. defining his duties and pow
ers no limitation placed upon him in the
exercise of them, and no reservation of
power in the board to direct or control
| his exercise of them.
The attorney then takes up the ques-
ton of the right of the board to review
the actions of the superintendent of the
hospital, holding that the board has not
this right, for the following reasons:
First-The act itself does not give the
board the power either in terms or by rea-
sonable implication.
Second-The city physician is clearly given
the power of removal for cause. If the
board could review the sufhciency of that
cause it would nullify this power, and hence
