TcoPYR1GHr. 1911


This is story that DIR. Clarke For
ster told us after dinner: had had busy
morning-some twenty patients, one
on the heels of another--and now that
the last had departed, and noon was
long past, began to think hungrily of
my luncheon. But just as got up to
leave my consulting room my servant
entered and handed me visiting card
upon which was engraved the name
ssMr. Alexander Carathwaite. There
can be but one Alexander Carathwaite, !"
thought /, land he is Alexander Carath-
waite, the famous iron king and million
aire."a 5.
'sShow him in," said to my servant.
The person who presently seated him
self opposite me struck me as singu-
larly healthy-looling invalid; tall, ro-
bust, with clear, ruddy skin and q
bright gray eye. However, What is
the trouble?" i asked
.'Well," he answered, Its a queer
case; but to put it briefly, I'm afraid
the troubles here" and he tapped his
forehead. ...7
LET me hear your symptoms"
"It's a long story" said he, land
must begin it at the beginning"
Herewith he plunged his hand into
an interior pocket of his coat and
brought forth small tissue-paper par
eel. This" he explained, as he un-
wound the paper, ''is rather valuable
antique. It came as a present to my
wife the other day from the earl of
Salchester, whom we entertained when
he was in America year or SO ago. Az

lieved to be a specimen of medieval
Venetian work, and the frame is un-
questionably a magnificent bit of
cinquecento."
The whole affair was no bigger than
lady's hand. The glass unusually thick,
and huted round the edge, was veined
and spotted and bleared over with a
fine BLUSH mist, like the eye of an
aged man. The frame was indeed mag

that you could have fndented 1t with

no fewer than Eve exquisite nude fe-
male figures, disporting themselves In
fantastic but graceful attitudes amid a
profusion of delicately chiselled fruits
and leaves. Three of these figures re-
clined upon tiny golden couches, in each
of which was set a lustrous ruby; the
other two rode upon conventionalised
lions, and each lion held a pearl be-
tween his teeth. At the base pair of
dolphins twisted their tails together,
and formed the handle. Upon scroll
at the handle end were incised the date,
1851, and the initials, e. D.

and looked, and of course she saw her

said: Now let me see whether 1t will
show me the face of the man you love.

TEE NEW CITY CHARTER.

MINNEAPOLIS will have a new charter,
but how new we cannot say at this writ
ing, It is universally conceded that the
present one in good many features is
rather small for city as large as Min
neapolis. The people favor giving the
mayor little more authority than he
has at present, thus making some man
responsible for any mistakes that may
be made. TO what extent the people
favor this CONTEMPLATION Of power we
cannot say, but it is safe to say that
they want to see the chief executive OF
this great city in position where he
can speak for more than the police de-
partment. Minneapolis has had the
misfortune in the past Of having num-
Der OF politicians in the legislature
whose chief aim was to legislate for the
benefit Of their party. and not their con-
stituents. They cut the charter to
pieces, and Then patched it up until
nothing but gashes and patches can be
seen now. We must have new charter,
chat is certain, but what that charter
should provide and how far it should go
towards making the mayor the appoint
i've officer as far as heads of departments
are concerned, we cannot say. We be-
lleve that the Hennepin delegation is
equal to this, and if let alone by jealous
politicians will give us che best charter
we ever had. THE IRISH STANDARD has
confidence in their ability to do this, and
we are sure we will not be disappointed.

PARNELL MUST RETIRE.

The political situation in Ireland re-
mains practically unchanged. Parnell
continues to make speeches. and crowds
of admirers salute h1m here and there.
We had hoped that ERE this the Bou-
logne conferences would have resulted
in an amicable settlement between Par
neil and the opposition. But it seems
that Parnell is determined to stand out
to tho end in the face Of an overwhelm-
ing majority. For the sake of Ireland
and the cause of Home Rule it is to be
regretted that Mr.. Parnell would so far
forget his past services to his country
and the unbounded confidence the people
at home aud abroad placed in him, that
he would make one step either way
against their wishes. Parnell should
do what all true trends of Ireland have
many times lately advised him do viz:
quietly retire and let the people select
their leader, and not murder Home Rule,
so to speak. Now comes the unpleasant
news from London that Salisbury pro-
poses to dissolve parliament next month.
This ia just about what we have been
looking for for some time. The Tory
premier finds the Liberal party all
broken up over the spills in the Irish
party. aud will take advantage OF it by

In a late numbar Of the Fargo Argus
Timothy Costello, OF Moorhead. had
this to say: 1t was said of O'Connell
that he was one of the best abused men
in Europe. Aud why? Simply because
he strove to get some share OF justice
for the plundered people of Ireland !.
For similar reason. because lgnatius
DOnneIly is opposed to ShYlocks and
monopolists, some people are striving
to make him the best abused man In
Minnesota. 1t is said 1.-The brighter the

because Of the natural grade, which, Y
followed, would bring the street little
over the present railroad bed. All that
vast territory lying directly south OF
these tracks is practically cut off from
the city proper by this railroad line, and
steps should be taken at once to bridge
these tracks. Minneapolis should profit
in this matter from the vexatious delays
and annoyances. not to mention the en-
ormous expense, in settling the question
of bridging the Fourth avenue north
tracks. A few years ago the Milwaukee
road made the city an excellent PROPOSE
ton, in which it agreed to lower these
tracks If the city built half the bridges.
This would have cost the city some
5000, 900. The Eighth ward has been
damaged twice that sum in the past two
years BY these tracks being left on
grade. The Milwaukee road may make
similar offer now, and it may not
One thing is certain that the city can
compel the road to lower it's tracks, but
to 20 into courts to establish our rights
in the premises, would cost too much
time and money. Better have the proper
city officers confer with the railroad
officials on this important question and
see what can be done. Let Che city
sacrifice few thousand dollars sooner
than go into the courts. 1t is to be
hoped that the city attorney will do his
duty in this matter. Mayor Winston
will no doubt give the undertaking a
helping hand; besides he will be very
valuable man to have around when it
comes to figuring out the cost of doing
the work. We hope to see this matter
settled before the frost leaves the ground.
The longer the agony is deferred the
more costly will be the operation. 1t is
to be hoped that the advice of the city
engineer to raise these tracks will mot
be opposed by the council. Put the
tracks down where they belong.
