MEN WORSE THAN WOMEN.
They'd Sooner Part With Their
Lives Than With Their Old


Lives Than With Their Old
Clothes.
Evening Sun.
A comparison between men and
women in their love for many posses
slons when it comes to clothes will show
always that it is men who cling to their
Old clothes, and not women. Why,
most men are perfect magpies about
their garments. Nomatter how frayed,
or shabby, or soiled a garment is, no
matter how impossible it is that he
should ever want it, he would no more
think of parting with it than he would
with his Scalp-lock.
And as for getting clothes enough, no
man ever did that. The Woman knows
one man who has eighteen Overcoats
and forty-three pairs of shoes, and he
couldn't be induced to sell, give away,
or pawn blessed one of the coats or
pair of the shoes. And he's no fop.
either, but a sensible business man.
And the Woman knows another man,
stout, mlddle-aged man, beyond the
time OF vaDltieS in dress, who boards
MS clothes like perfect miSer. He gives
literally to all kinds of charities, public
and private; he couldn't pass beggar
on the street without giving him dime
II he tried; he even gives his best cigars
and liquors to his wife'S relatives, who
never approved of the match, when
they come to call. But if, at any
unfortunate moment, ragged, neces-
sitous-lOoking beggar asks for pair of
WORKOUT shoes or a coat to keep out the
winters cold, that poor fellow gets the
door banged III his face with an empha-
Sis that is wickeder than any words
could be. His wife says it would be
easier for him to divorce himself from
her than from any one of his old suits of
clothes.

NO BIDS FOR BONDS.
Threatened Financial Legislation
Held Responsible for the Lack.

Hciu Irresponsible Tor the LACK.
The threatened interest legislation is
having some effect. Capitalists are
afraid of Minnesota securities. They
won't touch them just now. That be-
came evident yesterday when the
finance committee of the court house
commission met to open bids on $4,000
of bonds. The bonds are dated Jan. l,
1890, and will mature Jan. /, 1920,
bearing per cent interest, payable
semi-annually. The circular, which
was sent to from 50 to 100 bond dealers
and financial agents, says: "These
bonds are issued by this board under
the authority of the legislature of the
state of Minnesota, the proceeds to DO
used for the construction of court
house and city hall building in the city
of Minneapolis. The assessed valua-
ton of the county for taxable pur-
poses is S149,S19, G33, and its present
bond indebtedness for all pur-
poses is S4S5, 900" Despite this
tlattering recital of the county's finan-
cial condition, not bid was received.
This is attributed to the financial legiS-
lation undertaken by the legislature.
The finance committee could not de-
eide at once what to do. The money is
not needed very badly, and it is quite
probable that no bonds will be sold
until after the legislature has adjourned.

Acting Mayor Gray's Oppor-

The city may yet have a city hospital.
There is no money in the city treasury
to build one, barring the $4,000 appro-
priated last year, and that will not go
far towards building a hospital when
the site must be bought. But Aid. Gray
has found a man who wants to help the
city out of this difficulty. His name is
Butler-H. c. Butler-and he lives in
the Thirteenth ward. He wants to
make the city present of a site for a
city hospital. He has the land, he says,
not in the Thirteenth ward either, that
he wants the city to take. He also says
that he has building which would
make an excellent city hospital. That
building he will sell to the city on easy
terms. Aid. Gray didn't inquire into
particulars when this offer was made.

David Henderson first produced The Crystal
slipper at the Chicago Opera house, nearly
three years ago, he found it impossible to
secure coryhees and secundas i'll America,
and was obliged TO import them from Europe.
A judicious and gradual schooling, however,
has enabled him TO gradually disDlace about
half of the foreign element and to him alone
belongs the credit of achieving the success Of

PARKHURsr's ITALIAN HAND.
Aldermen See 1t in Everything
Pertaining to Curb and Gutter

Aldermen See 1t in Everything
Pertaining to Curb and Gutter.
The fate of the mayors veto of the
curbing resolution is predetermined. 1t
looks now as if the resolution would be
passed over the veto. 1t may be, and,
again, 1t may not be. Several aldermen,
among them the hardest workers in the
council, are doing their utmost to sus-
tam the veto. They are having some
effect, toll. AS matter of fact, most
of the aldermen would vote to sustain
the veto, did they not believe that it
would be leaving lOOphole open to the
ParkhurSt combined curb and gutter
people. They are afraid that he might
sneak in and get contract, were bids
tractors were given to under
stand that they might bid on
single curb. without the gutter,
despite the fact that the specifications
called for combined curb and gutter.
They think that the talk about improper
manner of advertising is all in the in
terest of Parkhurst. One or two even
go so far as to say that John King, one
of the bidders who has publicly COM
mended the mayors action, IS andi in"
with Parkhurst. In support of their
statements regarding ParkhurSrs hold
OH the council they cite several i'll
stances. 1t must be confessed that APP
pearances are in their favor. A year
ago Parkhurst received the contract for
curb and gutter, although he was not
by good deal the lowest bidder. An
other thing: Natural stone curbing was
ordered on Twentieth avenue north a
year ago. Parkhurst received the con-
tract for the artificial stone curbing, and
the council switched, ordering Park
hurst's curbing Oh that avenue. At
that time the illegality of paying for
one kind OF curbing with assessments
levied for another kind was never even
limited at. On the other hand, the
mayors adherents say, "Those bids
were not advertised for properly and all
of them should be rejected. The city is
bound by the acts of its agents. Make
them do their work properly and you
will have no trouble"

1T KILLED THE GIRL.
Fatal Result of a Criminal Opera
ton on Mary Jackson.

Coroner Byrnes is investigating
case of abortion which resulted in
death. The victim is Mary Johnson, a
seventeen-year-old colored girl, who
worked for Mrs. Daymon in the
Evans block. She died Sunday night.
A post-mortem examination, held at
Gleason & McAllister'S morgue yester-
day, developed that the cause Of death
was septic peritonitis. the direct result
of the operation. The abortion was per-
formed about two weeks ago. Four or
five days ago she became i'll, and was
removed from Mrs. Daymon'S to 81
South Seventh street, where friends of
hers live. There she died. The girls
lover has been found. He denies that
he knows anything about the case. He
says that he intended to marry her.
Mystery surrounds the case. The Oper-
alton was performed with instruments,
indicating that it had been done by a
physician. No clue to his identity has
as vet been found

been asked to meet with the police conf
