will return in time TO appoint the members
of the board of corrections and charities,
June 1. While he is absent there will be
some tall hustling done by those who would
like to correct and deal out charity at the
city's expense. but Mayor Winston Will make
his appointments without reference TO the
political standing of the men he selects
This Will not, however. deter Sam LOye, jim
Bradish and others from putting forward
their qualifications for a place on the new
board. These gentlemen, as well as other
applicants, might just as well keep their
linen busters on, for Mayor Winston will do
what he thinks is right, and he will not con-
suit them either.
For the first time in many years the street
railway company was notified by The chief
executive of Minneapolis that it must not do
certain things, and the order was obeyed.
The company started out TO fence in First
avenue south by erecting poles thereon Tor
feed wires for the Nicollet avenue line, but
the property owners kicked. waited on Mayor
Winston. and the company was invited by
the mayor to remove the poles Thee were
no more questions asked, but it is said that
when General Manager Goodrich read the
mayors order, which was the last thing he
had looked for. he scratched his head exclt-
edly and murmured to himself: Il spose he
means ii" The poles were removed at once,
and the property owners are happy IN conse-
Quence. What contrast between tne
prompt action taken by Mayor Winston in
this matter and the slow, stupid, vacillating
policy that eX-Mayor Babb pursued during
the street car strike. Comparisons are obi
GUS, and if the people of Minneapolis know
their business they will see TO it that Babb is
kept as near to the ice houses of the Cedar
Lake company as it is safe to have him. In
this changeable climate such men ought to
be kept OH ice all the time.
T.
Supt. Snyder, of the poor department, is
one of those men who rarely makes an
enemy, and always holds friend quite close
to him whenever he makes one. This is the
great secret in life's success, and there are
men who would give handsome fortunes II
they could only make friend once q year
and keep him. Mr. Snyder does not to all
outward appearances. make any great effort
to solidify himself with those he comes in
contact But ne has a quiet, pleasant and
unpretentiouS way of receiving every one he
knows that completely takes them by storm.
He is not an eXtravagant man i'll any sense
of the word, so that the friends he has made
were not purchased by cigars or other
luxuries of that kind. The poor he receives
at his home, in his Office. or on the street in
the same way, and even though he gives
them nothing, they go away satisfied that he
is a gentleman. He was never accused of
anything but being too Charitable, and If
GOlightly Morrill, would cultivate his ac
quaintance he would make fewer enemies in
the Eighth ward.
The hardest worker in Minneapolis to-day,
without any exception, is S.Goodrich.
general manager of the Twin City street rail
way companies. He does not say so himself,
but his friends, who know the most of what
he does, say he rises every morning at
o'clock, takes breakfast soon after, and starts
out to see that everything is in readiness for
the days work One time of the day he can
be seen i'll st. Paul, at another time in North
east Minneapolis, experimenting track lay
ing and wire stringing, and still again, If one
is quick enough, he can be seen away down

ever the week for council committees to meet
comes around, he is in ana around the city
hall talking with the aldermen on the differ
ent things he would like to do for the dear (?l
people of the two cities in bettering the street
car service. if the aldermen would only con-

Offices to see that the officials are all happy.
There is one office he never visits in that old
building, and that is the poor office; he has
no occasion to.
L. \. Dunn. assistant city attorney, thinks
more of his nails than he does of his law
practice. But that never prevents him from
telling how he came to be reappointed to his
present position, while his side partner of
terra Gotta locks, y. H. Hall. was left out in
the cold. The secret of this game of film
liam is simply this. If Dunn means what he
says: Dunn, to begin with, is an open-heart-
ed, jolly, good-natured sort of fellow.
Though he lives in the Eighth, he is not
averse to smoking scent cigars whenever
nothing better can be had. When he took
charge of.the prosecuting wringi in the munich
pal court, he saw that Hall wassmounted on
very high charger, and if he should ever fall
of, he would surely get killed. To stear
clear of breakers, Dunn was careful enough
to let Hall handle those cases, the prosecu-
ton of which the public generally did not
favor, and in that way Dunn moved quietly
along and escaped unhurt when the crew
got wrecked. He likes to have his finger
nails neatly trimmeu, and goatee carefully
brushed down, whether he is on his way to
church or the ball park. He has not ex-
pressed himself yet on the probable result of
SO many beer wagons i'll the Eighth ward ev
cry day. If he will only submit it in writing
all will be well. Dunn himself at times,
finds II difficult to read his own writing.
Fun is running wild these times in loca
theatrica circles. Between the ministers at
tacking the Sunday theaters, and the actresses
attacking the managers and horsewhipping
them, there is big time generally. Manager
Wilbur has not got q w0rc to say over the
warm reception Miss Ida Darrell gave him
few days ago. but she is not so silent. She
like her sex, felt she must assert her rights
and she did. Manager Wilbur thinks the
newspapers are spreading it on little too
thick. AT all events Manager Pride of the
Palace museum, thinks Miss Darrell would
make good drawing card, and to that end
has made her very f1attering proposition
OF coure she will hesitate some days before
she gives her decision. This means more
advertising at the same rates as that which
she has already had. A man who gets into
an argument with woman should be wise
enough to let her do the arguing, particu-
larry II she carries rawhide or a sharp
tongue. 1t is much better TO beat hasty re-
treat than to beat the woman, for she will
win i'll the end. AS this advice is intended
for local application there are no charges at
tached.
Since Enock Hidden assumed the responsi.
bility of chief executioner at the dog pound.
he has been flooded, so to speak, with appli-
cants for positions. Some of the applicants
have got quite an exalted idea of the duties
and responsibility of a deputy dog catcher
and are not slow to remark that the only
way for MIR. Hidden TO run his department
satisfactory is to employ humane and pains
taking men to assist him: also, men who can
see tagless dog block away, and gather
him in before he knows what the matter is
Others emulate the man who is struck on
committing the geography of the city to
memory, and refer to their knowledge of the
places and time best suited for dog Trapping
There are others still who have decided
aversion for dogs of the old gold pattern, and
of this class of applicants several have al
ready been named as probable deputies So
the friends and admirers of this color of
dogs are given notice in advance that good

at once. Mr.. Hidden has started out to do
the best he KNOWS by the city, and with the
aid of 250 policemen, will play anything but

the performance next fall
There are large-sized chunks of uneasiness
all over the city wherever city official can
be found who owns patch of Minneapolis
dirt. II 1t were no more than was capable of
accommodating a reasonably large hencoop,
and all because County Treasurer Peterson
will not pay any money to City Treasurer
kortgaard before June |. The city council at
its last meeting decided TO meet several davs
before the end of the month, so as to pass on
the pay rolls in order that the city's en-
ployes might have their money in time to
pay taxes before the same became delin-
quent. Now, unless Treasurer Kortgaard
sees fit to transfer some other fund, the boys
must hustle in some other direction or take
their 10 per cent fine. II is then that the
value of few dollars will loom up high, aud
expressions of regret over foolishly spent
money will go from many a tongue The
bigger the pay the less there is to show at the
end of the month. "The nearer the church
the farther away from God'' could be applied
to more people than those who draw their
