ENTHUSIASM GALORE.
Prizes to Be offered During the
Harvest Festival.

The men who have charge of the prepare
tons for the big harvest festival met again
last evening in the rooms of the business
mems union and talked of the arrangements.
There was the greatest enthusiasm mani
tested. Everybody seems sanguine that this
fete win completely overshadow the great
Willard parade. Col McCrory still maintains
that the parade will be no less than forty-two
miles long, and he has talked of 1t SO much
that he is persuading good many others TO
believe 1t, too. Anyhow, it cannot fail to be
good one.
One OF the first matters taken up last night
was the question Of music for the parade. K.
j. Phelps outlined his ideas on the subject.
He thought that every band in the whole
Northwest should be brought to Minneapolis
on that day. To bring this about he sug
gested this: That prizes amounting to $1,000
be offered for grand band tournament His
suggestion was adopted as a good one. This
sum will be divided into four or five prizes,
as the committee on music may decide.
That sum was voted so that competition
is assured. This tournament will be
open TO all bands outside of Hennepin and
Ramsey counties. In order to be certain that
there be no dearih of music, it was decided
to hire all the bands in both Minneapolis
and st. Paul. 1t is expected that the Expo
sition management will give the services of
the Mexican band for that occasion.
1t was voted to give $1,000 for agricultural
displays. This sum Will be divided into
four equal parts $500 each for Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota, and the re-
naming $500 for all the states outside of the
three mentioned. Each $500 win be divided
into three prizes, $3.50 $50 and 500.
This makes three prizes for each state that
is directly tributary to Minneapolis and three
for all Others. Frank Mead has been ap-
pointed press agent. He and the press COM
mittee will look after the sending out of in
vitations to other towns. u is important
that the committee on parade know as soon

THAT GARBAGE CKEMATORY.
Manager Smith Confers With the
Board of Health.

The board OF health met yesterday after
noon 10 receive formal proposition from W.
q. Smith, manager of the Engle Furnace
Company of Des Moines To-, for the erection
ana equipment of the new crematory to be
built upon the workhouse grounds. The
crematory including all buildings and ma
chinery, will cost $4,000, aud it is expected
that ii will be in operation before the latter
part of November. On Friday night the
committee will submit n favorable report to
the council and ARRANGEMENTS will be made
10 close the contract.
Mr.. Smith states the average cost of reduc-
ing garbage at from 10 to 10 cents per cubic
yard. In conversation upon this subject
yesterday, he said
The cost depends largely upon the con-
dition of the matter TO be burned. If it is
very dry it may be consumed for as little as
b cents per cubic yard, but if very pet it may
cost as much as 30 cents.
Then, too there is a considerable saving in
having a careful and experienced man to
look after and operate the furnace
The matter to be consumed must be so dis
posed as to allow the freest possible circula-
ton of air.
Twelve minutes is the average time required
to consume a cubic yard of ordinary garbage.
One of our Crematories has consumed lab
wagon loads in twenty-four hours but that is
an exceptional record, and has not been
equaled by all of the furnaces

INVENTED IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Two Street Railway Employees In
vent a New Motor.

hShO ~ W." DIOtOE-
An electric motor has been invented in
Minneapolis. Experts say that it is good
thing. The motor is the work of Gordon j.
Scott and Timothy Driscoll Both are ex-
perienced men in their line, and they think
that they have found just what the electric
lines need. Scott is the street railway COM
panys electrician and Driscoll is the master
mechanic of the same company. They have
been at work on the motor for a couple of
months and finished their labors only yes
terday. The advantages claimed for this new
motor are simplicity of constructions length
of life and freedom from the need of fire.
quent repairs These amount to good deal
in the coulse of year.
The motor is mounted on an ordinary
truck, like those in service in the city, but is
placed only at one end and not at both ends,
as i'll the Sprague and Thomson-Houston
motors. The machinery is as simple as A b
G. 1t consists OF one heavy iron field mag
net, three feet square, built on the massive
order. This rests on the track frame, and is
steadied by the wheel axle. Inside of this
magnet is single magnet coil of short thick
copper wire. The armature against which
the coil brushes is also large and powerful in
its makeup, its diameter being nineteen and
a half inches, or nine and a half inches
larger than the largest now in use. Techni-
caily speaking the motor is built on one salt
ent pole on which the coil Ievolves. The part
that is hung on the axle constitutes the other
pole, and is made thin, so that the distance
between the ceniets OF the armdture shaft
and the car axle is a minimum for the maxi
mum size OF immature. This centralizing of
the machinery reduces the length of the
motor. renders accidents more easily discov-
cradle and puts the working parts in a nut
shell. The copper wires are so short and
stout that burning OUT is almost an i'm
possibility, and there is low resistance, little
heating of bearings and very little energy
wasted
1t is a sixty-five horse power motor, thirty
five greater than the motors now in use on
the lines of the two cities. 1t will be tested
some day this week. If found to work salts
factorily, it may be adopted on the local
lines.

CITIZEN SOLDlERY.
Yesterday Was Its Day at the Ex-
position.

position.
Yesterday was military day at the EXPOSE
ton. There was good showing of the boys
in blue. and the pretty girls seemed to have
eyes for only them. The boys who appeared
in their new fall suits of the latest cut and
the most fashionable material were literally
not i'll it at all at any stage OF the game.
The soldier boys realized it,, too,
and they enjoyed their triumph to
the soldierly appearance of the Minneapolis
militia and the compliments seemed TO be
all deserved Among the crowd was the
representation which was sent over from ST.
Paul, and they were treated in a royal man
ner by their brethren in this city. In the
evening the whole crowd turned out 10 see
the great spectacle, 1.-The Siege of Vera
Cruz" and when the soldier boys made the
hot charga upon the doomed city of Vera
Cruz the excitement was intense. The PEG
pie stood upon their seats, and cheer after
cheer followed upon the final result which
was brought about with such dramatic force.
In the afternoon the board of directors
held q meeting, but the only business that
was transacted was of routine nature. A
number of bills and the salary list were
passed, after which the board took an ad-
journment.
Assistant Manager Byron stood at the main
entrance TO the Exposition building yester-
day afternoon for twenty minutes and dur
ing that time he counted 7S7 persons who
were passing through one of the turn
Stiles there being five of them run
ming at that time and all OF them
were in constant motion. Mr.. Byron counted
the number of people who came into the
building at different times, and he computed
the number for the day and evenings attend
ance at about 10000. There were a large
number who came early in the morning ana
went away during the afternoon. When
Manager Bracket arrived at the building at
7:30 o'clock Yesterday morning he found a
crowd of about three hundred persons who
had come early. He very promptly opened
the gates and let them come in.
The crowd which witnessed the produc-
tion of the 'Siege of Vera Cruz last even
ing was the largest one that has yet been seen
in the immense amphitheaIer. Almost every
seat was taken. The audience was a very
enthusiastic one, and the EXPLANATIONS of

A Lecture on this Subject Deliv-
cred Before the Undertakers'
Association

Yesterday morning the delegates to the
convention of the Funeral Directors Asso-
citation of Minnesota and North and South
Dakota sembled at the Cottage hospital to
hear lecture upon the process OF embalm-
ing. Prof A. Renourd, demonstrator OF the

ing to illness was unable to be present. His
place was filled by Prof. Z. W. Lutes, of tie
college of embalming at Boston.
Prof. Lutes is thoroughly versed on this
subject, and during the morning delivered
comprehensive aud exhaustive lecture upon
the proper methods of preparing the dead
for the process of embalming.
In the afternoon the lecture was continued
and demonstrations Of the embalming pro-
cess itself were given upon body. AS the
process requires considerable time, the lee
ture was adjourned at p. M, and will be re-
sumed at 10 O'Clock this morning. This por-
ton Of the programme is especially interest
ing and instructive to the delegates from the
smaller towns, most of whom have not en-
joyed the advantages in this line afforded TO
those of the large cities. This afternoon the
delegates will be given q drive about the city,
and this evening the convention will close
with banquet.
