CATION will meet in st. Paul on Monday
for that purpose. hit has not yet been
decided whether the bill will be intro-
duced by Trip as it now stands, to bd
amended into shape now, or whether il
will be first worked over by the delega4
ton. A mass meeting Will be held Mon.
day night at Century hall for the pure
pose of discussing the charter revision.
After last nights meeting, the men<
berS of the delegation to whom has been
referred the bill introduced by K. L.
Penny, to prevent the dumping of dead
animals and Offal into the Mississippi
river above the Shingle creek pumping
station, gathered in one corner dis
cussed that measure. A I are in favot
of it, and it will undoubtedly be passed.
1t will be so amended as to govern th1
disposition of stockyards refuse.
While speaking of the work of the
delegation it is apropos to say that the
bill providing tor new dividing line
between the Seventh and Twelfth
wards will assuredly pass. Nearly all
the people in those wards favor it,
Twenty-irst avenue will be the divid,
ing line between the two wards, instead
of Ihirty-fOuTth street as now. The
division will throw AID Woodward into
the Seventh ward, and put Aid. Rollins
into the Twelfth. The four aldermen
will. as soon as the bill shall have be-
come law, get together and divide up
the ward funds equitably.

CHANGES AT THE T. G. A. G.
Some improvements in the Way
of Seating ARRANGEMENTS,

OF Seatlng Arrangements.
When the next contest is held at the
rooms of the Twin City Athletic club,
Feb. II, between Dannie Needham and
Tom Ryan. members of the club will
scarcely know the place. The seating
facilities of the club have never been
satisfactory. Chairs are not the best
seats when several rows of them sur
round ring. The view of those in the
rear rows is impeded. For the February
contest seats will be arranged on the
amphitheater system, thus enabling
those in the rear to see as well as
these in front. By this arrangement,
the main floor will seat 1,200 people.
Under the new arrangement, seats for
the contest can be reserved in advance.
AS members pay their monthly dues
they will be allowed to choose their
seats. Those who always delay the
payment of their dues until the last
moment will be the sufferers. Those
who pay up promptly will receive, as
they are entitled to receive, the bene-
fiji OF the reserve arrangement. The
whole of the gallery will be given up to
private boxes. Ever since the club was
opened, some members have desired
that boxes be provided in which parties
of gentlemen might entertain them
selves. Each box will contain four
seats and the boxes will be sold at $40
each. 1t is expected that the new ar
rangement will meet several traditional
long feet wants.

WORK OF THE DELEGATION.
Last Evening 1t Met and Did Prac-
tiCaIIy Nothing.

They came. saw and-adjourned.
Such, in brief, is the record of last
nights meeting of the Hennepin dele
CATION. 1t came to the city hall, saw
that w. Fl. Trip was not there,
and decided to postpone the consid
Grafton of the revised charter until
Monday. when they will meet in st.
Paul Trip is the man who has been
preparing the bill which will make the
present Minneapolis charter look like
Christmas turkey on the Goth of De-
cember. When the meeting of the dele
CATION was called to order Tripp had
not vet arrived. He carried the precious
typewriter manuscript of the new
charter in his inside coat pocket, and
there was nothing for the delegation to
do bat wait. While waiting few
chewed the atmosphere. Finally Tripp
wandered in, but the delegation had adj
journed in the meantime.
During the few minutes that the dele
CATION was in session there was lively
passage -at-words between Representa-
tive McAllister, of the Thlrty-frst, and
Representative Penney, of the Thrift
eth. 1t arose over Mr.. McAllister's mo-
ton that the public be invited to discuss
the charter along with the delegation.

doing business. He thought that
the delegation should first settle
Oh revision, and then let the public
know about and criticise it if so dis
posed. He didn't want the public to be
given leeway for criticising members
of the delegation before the members
had done something for which to be
criticised. AS the charter stands now
that is the proposed new charter-it is
an unopened volume to most of the
members of the delegation. Most OF
them know nothing about it, except
what they have read in the newspapers.
Of course, the Republican press
has done its best TO create
the impression that the Hennepin
delegation is doing all in its power to
subVert all known rules of municipal
government, but despite those inane
yawpings the delegation has not yet de-
cided upon a substitute for the present
charter. The delegation will first frame
a bill and then allow the public chance
to suggest amendments to 1t. The dele

PARRY's LUMINOUS THOUGHT
Again He Makes a Grab for the
Honor of Statesmanship.

Again He Makes a Grab for the
Honor of craftsmanship.
About a year ago Aid. j. FL. Parry,
who is supposed to represent part of the
Seventh ward in the city council, be-
came convinced he was born with the
bulging brow of statesman. He forth
with evolved "beautlful SNOW" ordi-
nance, which has been entirely lost
sight of, though "to memory DEAR"
But that never daunted the versatile
Parry. Again has he became satisfied
that behind his ears throbs the brain of
reconsJructor of constitutions. He
has been struck by bright idea
with such force that he has been
known to be for one consecutive
hour, entirely oblivious of the existence
of such place as Bethany home. This
bright idea has to do with the re-estab-
lishment of dividing lines between
wards and school districts He thinks
the dividing line. instead of being in
the center of the streets, should be in
alleys, or in the center of the blocks.
The patrol limits should, in his opinion,
be divided in the same way. He is
quite enthusiastic over the idea, and
says it has been indorsed by the best
men in the city. At the risk of paining
Mr.. Parry, it must be stated that this
same effulgent thought has occurred to
members of the Hennepin delegation,
and has been considered by those gen
tlemen,

the husband took it into his head to be

HENDERSON IN EARNEST.
Ordinances Regulating Saloons
Must and Shall Be Obeyed.

Superintendent OF Police Henderson
evidently means that there shall be no
tickling with straws of the strong pedal
extremities of the law. The election of
a Democratic mayor does not carry with
it the privilege of law-breaking for all
who desire excessive latitude. Many
saloonkeepers had an idea that as
soon as the new administration
came into power, they were licensed to
keep their saloons open all night should
they SO desire. With them Supt. Hen
derson is not in accord. He is deter
mined that the law must and shall be
obeyed. No trifling will be allowed.
Laws were made to be enforced and they
will be enforced. Last night he issued
an order to his men with respect to the
closing hour. Police officers are COM
manded to report to the chief of police
the name of every saloonkeeper who
fails to closehis doors on the stroke of r.

THE FIREMAN'S PAY.
Some Kicking About the Present
e-CIassificatiOn Wanted.

w NhtSAs
The committee OH fire department.
will meet tomorrow to formulate a
fireman's salary schedule. 1t is gener-
ally believed that the fire laddies will be
classified and will draw compensation
hereafter according to rank. This idea
seems to meet with favor among the
fremen generally, especially those thaG
are stationed at the inside houses.
IAN illustration of the injustice done
committee said yesterday, "can be seen
by comparing the amount of work, or
number of runs made by the various
houses during the past year. For IN
stance, No. Is house, located at New
Boston, had only thirty-four runs dur
ing the year and many of these were
supply runs, e., the engine from that
house would move into No. II house
when the engine from the latter house
was out TO a fire. Both headquarters
and Chemical ] had at least l75 runs
each. Now the fremen at New
Boston received just as much pay
for their labor as the firemen do at
headquarters and Chemical No. l. 1t is
not the proportion of number OF runs,
but the nature of the conflagratiOnS,
that / should favor classifying the flre-
men," he added, ''as it is well known
the fires in the business part of the city
are much more difficult to eXtinguish
than those in family cottages or the
suburban parts.'' The committee will
also investigate an injustice that has
been done to Mr.. Quigley, stationary
engineer at the workshop. Mr.. Quigtey
has been on the fire department for nine
years. About year ago he lost an arm
while in service. AS soon as he recov-
cred sufficiently to work he was given a
position as stationary engineer at the
workshop at salary of only $3.50 per
month. Mr. Quigley receives a like
amount from the firemen'S relief assO-
citation, but the members of the com
mittee contend that the city has no
right to take advantage of that fact. 1t
is quite probable that his salary VIII be
fixed tile same as other engineers, at

GALLAGHER,s BILL.
The Court Reporters Are Not in
Love With 1t.

There was quite a little commo.ion
yesterday stirred up over the report
that Matt Gallagher would present a
bill to the legislature changing the sys-
tenn of stenographic reporting Of the
court proceedings. Thereport was that
the bill would provide for the appoint
ing by the judge of his own stenogra-
pher and dispensing with the position
of court stenOgrapher altogether. 1t is
limited that the move was started by a
couple of the court reporters very
quietly.
Dick Mabie, one of the. reporters at
the court house, took the trouble to 20
among the attorneys to find out how
they felt about the matter, and, as re-
suit, secured numerous signatures to a
paper stating that they didn't like it at
all. Judge Lochren called a meeting Of
the bench. and the matter was talked
over, the judges appearing to be Of the
mind that they were very well satisfied
with matters as they were. The court
stenographer himself insists that the
Office is subject to about 5000 per month
salary for typewriters, ETC., aside from
his reporters salary, so there is little
enough in it, as this expense eats up
the fees collected for work on abstracts.
The rumor Of the bill has created quite
little scare, if nothing else.

To-day systematic search for Fred
B. Matthews, the missing bookkeeper of
Kirkbride s. Co., will begin. A meeting
of his friends was held at Barnaby's

organized to go in search of him. The
territory surrounding Lake Minnetonka
will be gone over carefully. The party
will leave FOR the lake early this morn

until every inch of the ground has been
covered. Matthews was at Josyln's
cigar store last Saturday night and
bought half dollars worth of cigars.
He said then that he was going to Min

evening he was seen passing the Pauly

Some of the searching party will get off
the train at Maple Plain, and go over
the country to Bartlett's on the lake
shore. This route was frequently taken
