The typical Modern CITY.

Paris IL the typical modern city, In
the work OF transforming tho laby-
rinthine tangle OF narrow, dark and
foul medieval alleys into broad mod
ern thoroughfares, and OF providing
those appointments and conveniences
that distinguish tho well-ordored
city Of our day from the old time cities
which had grown up formless and or
ganless by centuries OF accretion---in
this brilliant nineteenth century task
OF reconstructing cities in their phys
ical characters, dealing with them as
organic entities and endeayoring TO
give such form 10 tho visible body as
will best accommodate tho expanding
life within, Paris has been the UNI
rivaled leader. Berlin and Vienna
have accomplished magnificent re-
suits in city-making, and great British
towns Glasgow, Birmingham, Man
chester and others--have In q less
ambitious way wrought no less useful
reforms; but Paris was tho pioneer.

and you need have no hest
tation about taking tits
as good as our bond. There
is such a thing as conducting
a legitimate business on
principles that are scarcely
legitimate, but that isn't our
style. When you come to
us to make a purchase you
place your interests in our
hands, and if we betray
those interests we can be
sure of one thing-you
won't come again. Can we
make it an object for you to
come, not only once, but
every time you want any
thing in our line -? Well, if
we can't there is nobody IN
the trade who can. When
high-class clothing is sold
at the prices for which we
are selling it there is no

A report gained currency in the city
last evening that gang of counterfeit
ers had been located by the police. and
the officers of the law were hot on the
trail of the manufacturers of spurious
coin. Inquiries made show that the
affair was grossly exaggerated. Chief
Detective OConnOr stated that there
was no truth in the report that gang
had been located, or that the officers
were in pursuit of any such persons.
Acting Chief of Police Cook, when asked
about the matter, said that few days
ago a secret service officer came from
Minneapolis and reported that two
counterfeit dollars had been passed on
the interurban line, and requested that
a look out be kept by the officers in st.
Paul for persons who might attempt to
pass spurious coins. The officer did not
think for a moment that the coins wer
being manufactured in st. Paul or Min
neapolis, but that the fellows passing
the STUFF had followed in the track of
the race meeting ''As for any gang
carrying on the work of making spuri-
Gus coins IN st. Paul." continued Capt.
Cook. why that is absurd. Those kInd
of fellows generally select the largest
cities, for if they set up business here
we would know of it in very little
while"
a couple of weeks ago a young man
went into the internal revenue office, in
the federal building. and stated that a
gang of men have been handling coun-

matter up. His proposition was to join
the gang, get into their confidence, and
then turn inTormer. He was told that
the internal revenue Office had nothing
to do with such matters, and was re-
ferred to United States Marshal Dona-
hover. That official did not see the
mau, but he was told by one of the
deputies that he ought to see the regu-
lar secret service agent at Minneapolis.

A DAMASCUS BLADE.

This erescent-shaped and fleXile blade,
With time-dulled, tawny gold iDlaid,
Meath skies that knew the Eastern star
Was found within an old bazaar.
I mind me well, how. passing by,
We caught the merchants cleaning eye,
Where in his dim recess he sat
Upon his precious Persian mat.
I fbane he was and grave Of mien,
This patriarchal Damascene;
He lured US to his small diyan
a serving boy for coffee ran,
And while we slipped, he laid before
Our widening eyes his Wondrous store.
There from worn sheaths, once bright with
gilt
We saw prOtrude the jeweled hilt
There ivory from Bengal brought
With Saracenic art was wrought;
And there keen steel we looked upon
THAT like moon-bunished water shOue,
Rut most Of all on me laid hold
This blade with letters strangely ScrCled-
Some curious Koran text no doubt.

And. when we took our way afaT,

And oft. mayhap, in gOodly stead,

When some Crusader. huge and grim,

TAKEN BY MANITOU.

Second Race of the Series for the
Association Cup.
When the usual time for starting the
regatta at White Bear yesterday after
noon arrived, the wind was disgusting
ly light. but as some difficulty was ex-
perienced procuring judges, by the
time E. Ii. OZmul and \. Y. Ovitt
were induced to occupy the responsible
positions, light breeze from the north
east raffled the water, and the yachts
were lOosed from their mOOrings. 1t
was the second race of the series to be
sailed for the association cup. The
first of the series was won by the For
tuna. This time another yacht was the
victor, and the champion yacht is not
yet aSceTtained.
The Mamtou. with a still larger can
vas than she has yet spread, Paul Got
Zian's new boat, as yet unnamed, and
Storm King darted across the line to-
gether, and led the fleet during the en-
tire race. The Merry Monarch, Martha,
Marguerite, Nushka, Fortuna. Kelpie
and Katrina followed in the order
named. and the whole fleet, close hauled,
skinned away toward the buOyat Nah
tomedi. The great white wings Of the
Manitou carried her away at rapid
rate and when buoy No. ! was reached
she had a very dangerous lead OH her
sisters. The little 7O0-pOund sloop
of GotZian's and Luther NewpOrts
Storm King were not lar behind, and
pushing them all came the big slOOp
NuShka. carrying loo square feet of
canvas. The Marguerite, in her new
slUop rig, walked rapidly up on the
leaders, but as the breeze lightened the
heavy weather boat dropped behind and
finally dropped out The Fortuna VIII o
of late has always been near the front,
for some reason did not sail we'll and
dropped behind the rest of the fleet.
The Manitou and Storm King increased
their lead on the long run before the
wind to second buoy, and when they
stood off for Dellwood seemed to have
the race in their own hands. The
Nushka sailed fast, but her immense jib
seemed to pull down to leeward and she
did not crawl up into the wind with her
usual alacrity. The Merry Monarch,
sailed by Leavitt Corning, and q. o.
Nettleton in the Martha. were having
little contest by themselves, and the
Kelpie, o. l.. TaylOr's boat, was tread
ing right OH their heels. The little
slOOp with Paul GotZian at. the helm
was skipping along at lively rate, and
with her large allowance would have
come very near to first place, but on
rounding the third buoy she lost her
wind and was passed by nearly every
boat in the fleet. As the yachts started
the second time around, the slOops were
all in the lead, and it was
practically two races between the
sloops and the cats from this
point on to the finish. The Manitou re-
tanned her lead and came in at the home
buoy quarter of a mile ahead of the
| nearest boat. which was the Storm King;
then came the Nushka and Fortuna.
The actual time was as follows, but, as
several protests have been entered and
a number of technical points raised, the
result may be somewhat varied by sail
ing committee:
