HENDERsON's GOLD STAR.
The Chief OF Police Remembered
by His Friends.


Supt. r. Il. Henderson was surprised
and gratified at one and the same
time last night. A few minutes
before 9 o'clock. as the major
was resting from the labor
of catching thieves at his home on East
man avenue, he heard a ring at his tele-
phone. He answered, and was told that
Sheriff SwenSOn wanted to see him at
police headquarters on important GRIM
inaI business. 1t didn't take the
major long to reach the city
hall with visions of desperate
murderers captured dancing before his
eyes. He found his office open, con-
trary to all precedent, and brilliantly
lighted. Several gentlemen whom he
knew were sitting around. He ran his
practiced eye over the group in vain
search for the criminal. He couldn't To-
cate him. He looked at Judge Rea rather
suSpicouSly, but just then the Judge
arose to speak. He delivered himself
of some remarks exceedingly compli-
mentary to the major, and at the close
presented to the official head of the pO-
lice department handsome gold star
with a diamond in the center. The
major was so surprised that he
could only stammer his thanks. The
star is a testimonial to the superintend-
ent of police from his friends. Among
those who were present were Judge
Rea, Mayor Winston, f. A. Cotherin
and several members of the police de-
partment. The star bears the simple
inscription presented to Maj. K. II.

LIQUID REAL ESTATE.
Lots That Lie in Lake Said to
Have Been Sold as Land.

P. M. Dahl, eX-cOunty surveyor, claims
to have unearthed a big swindle. He
says lots in the vicinity of Lake Mime
tonka that lie under forty feet of water
are being sold as dry land, as desir-
able building lots. They are plated
as Forest Lake Park addition and
Forest Lake Park Addition to Sage hill.
On the west arm of Minnetonka is To-
Gated the well known Saga Hill addi-
ton, and it is here that Mr.. Dahl lives
in summer. On the north arm is the
Forest Hill addition. which is also all
right. Just between the two. and not
connected with the main lake save by a
creek, lies Forest lake, small sheet of
water, circular in form and quite deep.
THAT lake" says Mr.. Dahl, ''con-
tains less than 200 acres of surface, and
consequently under the rule it is not
measured at all in the government plats,
but appears as land. Swindiers-who
they are l don't knOw-have taken adj
vantage of this fact, and have plated
into two additions what appears as land
in the government plat, but which is
really, as | have said, water. Lots have
been sold or traded in these additions
for whatever they'd bring, and they
have been pretty well disposed of, l
think, by the original platterS. OF
course, they are worthless. A number
of these deeds are floating around in
the real estate market"

the other wards of the city, running
PARALLEL lines north and south from
four to seven blocks apart. That is as
good service as can be asked in reason,
and it enables anyone to take car to

The Lake Harriet pavilion was FORM

AS the park board has not yet given its
sanction to that scheme, no admission
fee was charged. All the floors of the
new building were open to the public.
They were crowded until nearly mid
night. The band had prepared special
programme for the occasion. The new
funnel-shaped sounding board threw
the waves of music from the band float
landward so successfully that thousands
enjoyed it as if only hundreds. Every
body who visited it voted the new pa

BREVITY or MODERN WARS.

In an interview which appears in a recent
number of the Washington Post the famous
inventor Maxim ventures the prediction that
in time flying machine will be contrved
which will revolutionize the whole system of
warfare because means will thus be furnish
ed for attacking armies and cities with dyna-
mite dropped from the clouds and producing
degree of ruin and devastation which the
mind finds it difficult 20 conceive

MOLE ST. NICHOLAS.

Much dissatisfaction was felt few months
ago in the Department Of State at Washing
ton with the lack OF success which had at
tended the negotiations which Minister Doug
lass had been carrying on with the President
of the Haytian republic with the view of Sc
curing for the United States the Mole st.
Nicholas as a coaling station, the importance
of the station consisting in the fact that it lay
directly on the line of the Windward Pass.
The failure of the American Minister to OBJ
tain the concession solicited was attributed
by the Washington authorities at the time To
the strong objection which the Haytian Gov
eminent entertained that the representative
of this country at Port an Prince should
always be a negro. every other country in
diplomatic association with the republic Of
Hayti having its interests at the capital of
that Republic in charge Of a white consul or
minister.
Remarkable as it may seem, the people of
Hayti, who are all black or colored, look upon
the action of the United States in sending a
negro TO Port au Prince as Minister resident
as showing indirectly high degree of con-
sent it. Recognizing the existence of this
feeling among the Haytians, as soon as Doug
lass confessed his inability to secure the right
in connection with Mole st. Nicholas which
he had been ordered to obtain, the State De-
partment at Washington directed Admiral
Gherardi to proceed TO Port an Prince and
there to negotiate for the object in view. He
does not appear to have been more successful
in his diplomacy than was Douglass, and he
has returned after a mission that has proved
very unsatisfactory.
The truth is that the President ofthe Haytian
republic, being now on the eve Of one of the
periodical revolutions that afliict its unhappy
people, is afraid to concede one foot of Hay
tian territory to foreign power. The Hay
tian population is savage and barbarous but
it has at the same time a super-sensitive pa
triotism which viii hurl to ruin any ruler who
is supposed to have taken steps that will cur
tail the national glory.
Hyppolite is afraid of his constituents. and
there is no probability that the United States
will ever secure the Mole st. Nicholas unless
in the most extreme exigencies of a revolu-
ton. a hardrun leader in momentary possess
ion, shall turn it over at a high price TO the
authorities OF this country. Ordinary negoti-
alton IS likely to terminate precisely as the
mission of Gherardi has ended in discom-
future and irritation. The Government should
await its opportunity. This opportunity Will
certainly come, and when it does it should be
seized with promptness and utilized TO the ut
most.

was due TO the deadly perfection OF the IRE
arms.
The long interval which has passed since
the close of the last European war Is 10 be AT
tributed in a large measure TO the high state
of development TO which the instruments OF
attack and defense in battle have now been
carried. The fatalities of a contest are now
so sweeping that wars are not only snort
when they do take place, but there Is a grow
ing disposition 10 defer them TO the very last
moment on account Of the frightfui conse-
quences Of actual conflict.
The extreme destructiyeness of modern hre-
arms is distinctly in the interest OF peace ana
ifthat destructiveness can be carried TO such
a point that wars will mean the annlhilatlon OF
both armies, or even one army as a whole and
the other in part, it is not at all improbable
that in recognition of this anticipated fact
peace would remain unbroken.
If Maxim shall really be able 10 invent fly
inc machine that will render possible the
TRANSPORTATION through the air of tons Of
dynamite. a machine that can be handled
with ease and with entire safety he will
deserve TO be considered the greatest benefac-
tor of the human race who has ever lived. So
far from being promoter by his deadly in
genuitv Of new wars he would be the destroyer
of war. for rs soon as the natives Of the world
shall grapple, not upon the heaving bosom
of the ocean but in what the poet Laureate Of
England long ago described as the central
blue, there Will be very few proclamations Of
war unless the opponents are 50 full of hate
for each other and so desperate. their pur-
pose of destruction that they are prepared TO
work a mutual humiliation and extinction.
Navies floating in aereal seas would mean
the disappearance Of armies from the face of
the earth except as local police. Ii would mean
the destruction in case Of war Of every town,
village and home, for showers of dynamite
from the sky would soon wipe out the last
vestage of every habitation. and leave not one
stone Of q house in any part Of the country
standing the one upon the other.
