SHORN OF THEIR GLORY.
A New Law Cripples the Powers Of
Certain Aldermen

Like Samson. two of the leaders of
the Minneapolis city council have been
shorn of their locks and their strength
taken from them. These two unfort-
unate persons who have been shorn by
the Delilah of of the board of charities
and corrections bill are Aid. J. S. Gray,
vice president of the council, and Aid.
H.W. BraZie. Both are members OF the
wOrkhOuSe committe, the health and
hospitals committee. and the board of
supervisors of the poor. The new
board when it is appointed as
sumes the functions of the board
of supervisors of the poor, takes
control of the workhOuSe, and, in
measure, abridges the authority of the
health and hospitals committee. These
two aldermen have been the leading
spirits of these important committees,
but now they will have but little to do.
Aid. Gray is a member of the claims
and market committees, but the first is
Of nominal Importance, and the other is
like unto it. Aid. Brazie holds place
on the committee on the accounts OF
city officers, and is chairman of the COM
mittee on rules, but as these two COM
mittees meet but once i'll about two
years, his committee work will be like
the school of medicine to which he be-
longs, homeopathic. About all Aid.
Gray will have to do now will be to hoe
his garden; that is, after Harlow Gales
market is built.

OUT ON THE DEEP.
Proposition to Build a Floating
Dock on Harriet.

Another scheme to popularize Lake
Harriet as a suburban resort has been
broached. AS usual, the street railway
company is behind it. 1t Is proposed to
build floating dock out in the lake for
the accommodation of band. Concerts
would be gwen every evening. The
idea of the street railway company is,
of course, to reimburse itself off the in
creased amount of travel. The consent
of the park board must be secured be-
fore this can be done. The floating
dock enterprise is not being pushed be-
cause transportation facilities to Har-
riet are rather limited as yet.
Again the street railway company
promises to give better service on the
interurban line. The public will heart
lily say. amen. The company is said to
be fitting up forty fifty-horse power
motors for use on the interurban and
Rennepin boulevard lines. These will
have a speed of twenty-five miles per
hour. They will be strong enough to
have trailers when needed. Through
the summer open cars will be used as
trailers exclusively. No motors will be
put upon open cars, as the working of
the currents might be interfered with

A ADJUSTMENTS.

The Wilbur Opera company begin

they have been in preparation for many
weeks. During next week they will also

MacLean ard Prescott begin an en-
gagement at the Grand tomorrow night.
The success of ''All the Comforts of
Home' proves conclusively that the
public IS very anxious to be amused.
Talk about the educating influences of
the stage is mostly nonsense. In nine
case out of ten when the playwright
gives forth that he is anxious to educate
the stage, it will be found that he is
lack of wit. His success mainly
lies in boring the unfortunate people
who are beguiled into witnessing his
work. The public nowadays are very
chary of being educated and bored
from the stage. 1t is for this reason
that "All the Comforts of Home'' is
welcomed as an oasis in a desert of good
fun making. Granted that the play is
based upon ludicrOus improbabilities,
whOt of it? 1t makes no pretensions
but to give three hours of exquisite
fooling. In so doing 1t amuses willing
public and packs the house.
lone of the Bravest," with its real
steam engines. real horses and funny

the brightest and wittiest of them all

Later On" has been polished up

A Workhouse Bird Tries to Kill
Farmer.
In all probably James B. Sly. work
house bird, will have an opportunity of
being tried on the charge of the murder
of William Dalton, farmer residing at
Thirtieth avenue northeast and Main
street. About 8 o'clock last night,
Dalton is engaged in the business of
scavenger, and had in his employ Sly
and another man, who have been
engaged in cleaning up yards and
doing other scavenger work in the
city. Yesterday the men did not
do as much work as Dalton
supper table he took occasion to remind
them Of the fact. There ensued wordy
alteration, and finally Sly, who was
greatly under the influence of liquor,
drew knife and made pass
at Dalton. The latter seized a
chair and struck at Sly. who
again struck at Dalton with a butcher
knife. This time he inflicted a severe
wound upon Dalton's neck and followed
it up with several more. Dalton fell
and Sly left the house. This is the
story told by the other man, Sly's
companion. The alarm was at once

scene. There Dalton was found welter-
Ing in pool of blood. A short distance
away Sly was found in a drunken
stupor under wagon. Officer Sullivan
arrested him and tGrned him
over to the authorities at
the Central station. DR.. Charles
Nootnagel was called, and at once pro-
ceeded to Dalton's home for the pur-
pose of dressing his injuries. Sly is
man about fifty-five years of age, and
has, according to his own admission,
spent numerous terms in the
wOrkhouse. He denies that ne
stabbed Dalton, and in mis- own
language says that he didn't stab no
body" Dalton is a man about forty
years of age, and will be remembered
as the man with whom the health de-
partment had some trouble sort time
ago about his keeping a number of hogs
inside the city limits. The scene of the
occurrence is not far from the Northern
Pacinc junction, five miles from the city
hall.
At late hour DR.. NOOtnagel says tha
Dalton has fighting chance for recov-
cry. He is seriously cut in three places,
once i'll the breast and once in the back,
while the third cash is III the neck.
This is the most severe wound of the
three, as the knife came within quail
ter of an inch Of the carotid artery.
Dalton is now resting easily.

The Board of Health Prepares to
Preserve Its Thunder


In all probability the present board
Of health will build the new city hospi-

mend to the council that the university
campus be selected as site and work
commenced at once. The board does not
want the new board of charities and cor
rections to step in and take credit for
work that it did not do. While the mayor
is not exactly in favor of the campus site,
it is said that he is not committed to
any other. The recommendation to
build the hospital must pass the council
and be approved by the mayor. Should
veto be Interposed it will be necessary
to pass a resolution over this veto to
make it operative. The board is. how
ever, hard at work, and seems confident
of carrying its point. Mayor Winston
has expressed DO opinion, and declines

HARMONIOUS DIsCoRD.
Twin City Musicians Meet and Air
Their Grievances.

The musicians of Minnea polls met at
Idalia hall yesterday afternoon to air
their grievances. There was more dis
cord than music in the meeting, though
it was harmonious discord. Its pro-
dUcers were agreed. Representatives
of the melOdy-makers of st. Paul were
also present.
The musicians have several kicks to
make. They object to the Third regi-
ment band of Fort Smelling being al
lowed to compete with them. They say
it is against army rules, aud they pur-
pose calling the attention of the war de-
partment to the matter. The |. o. o. F.
ploYed the Smelling band for the cele-
bration last Mondey. One prominent
musician expressed himself thus:
"How can the people of Minneapolis
expect us to keep up good bands when
they go outside the town and get mill
tary bands to play for them, because it
will save few dollars? Again, take
the exposition directors, they have gone
to an enormous expense in importing a
band from Mexico. when there are now
assem- bled in this room twenty to thirty
men who are born musicians and whose
equal is not to be found in Mexico or
any other part of the globe"
This employment of the Mexican band
was particularly fruitful source of
| complaint. The exposition directors
were accused of inconsistency. They
prate about building up the city and
patronizing home institutions. They
run off to Mexico and hire a band at
great expense that will make no better
music than would band made up of
Twin City musicians. The outcome of
the meeting was the organization of a
union to include all musicians in the
Twin Cities. A schedule of prices COW
ering parties, receptions, balls, etc.. will
be arranged and adhered to. Another
meeting will be held soon to perfect
