st. Paul is blessed with two Repub-

morning organ is of the iridescent char

partisan reader alternately bless and

the thick and thin variety, which no
party horrors can alright and no Re-

brethren, dwell in unity. They dis
tinctly and distinctively flock apart on

NEW SCHOOL INSPECTORS.

Three Members of the Board to
Be Named on March 1.
According to the new law the terms
of three members of the board of educa-
ton expire March and the mayor will
be called upon to fill the vacancies. The
retiring members are: Inspectors Pyle,
Smith and Auerbach. The two former,
it is understood, are DESTROYS of reap
pointment, and it is probable that one
of them will succeed himself. The Irish
element claim that they are entitled to
a better representation than at present,
and the mayor has been called upon
by several influential gentlemen of that
persuasion in that behalf. The names
Of John S. Prince. j. q. Donnelly and
John w. Willis are spoken of in con-
nectiOn with the appointment. Mr.
Auerbach has positively declined a re-
appointment, and no doubt popular
German will succeed him in the board.
but who the lucky man is has not yet
been determined. Considerable opposi-
ton is being expressed against the idea
of appointing religious ministers as in
spectors. it being held that laymen of
sound judgment and good business tact
can transact the affairs of the board
more satisfactorily than the former. who
are burdened with their other and more
important functions.

1t Was a Grand Success-Results
of the Voting Contesta.
The close of the fair for the benefit of
st. Marks church at Merriam Park was
characterized by considerable enthusi-
asm on account of the voting contests.
The friends of all the candidates strained
every nerve up to the close of the polls
to bring victory to their favorites, and
any one happening In at the time might
have taken it for an instruction school
on the new system of voting under the
Australian law. The fair was an i'm
mense success, and those in charge de-
serve considerable credit for its excel
lent management.
The first prize was splendid steel
engraving of George Washington, to be
voted to the most popular resident of
Gleason, popular member of the
Junior Pioneers, in a straight walk
away. The vote, when counted, stood
as follows: z. j. Gleason, 1,610; A. G.
Woodruff, 210; Hon. ID. Nj. Sullivan, 40;
DIR. A. Henderson. 231; DR.. Golf, 5.
The prize for the most popular lady
was an elegant silk dress, the winner
being Miss NJ. A. Davern. There were
only two contestants. Miss Davern re-
ceiving LOSS votes and Miss Suttmar
los.
Another gentleman's prize consisted
ola silk hat for the most popular mer-
chant, and was won by James Bradley
by vote OF SOL TO 191 for w. ii. De

The fair was we'll attended during the
entire week, and was the source of con-
siderable entertainment to those living
in and about Merriam Park.

AN UNCONSCIOUS, ARGUMENT
In Favor of the Fifth Ward for the
Harvester Works Site.


An Indication of the interest that is
being manifested in the location of the
Wood Harvester plant in the Fifth
ward is shown by the letters which are
being daily received by the secretary of
the Fifth Ward union from parties liv-
ing in other cities. Yesterday offers of
from parties living outside the city,
who have probably learned through the
newspapers of the efforts being made
to locate there. Quite large number
Of property owners in this ward
are at present absent from the
city and their addresses are I'M
known, but these generous responses
show that the desire to locate there is
far-reaching, and beside the aid being
offered from the outside, merchants in
this city, who are not bound by prop
erty interests elsewhere, are heartily
expressing themselves in favor of this
site.
A lady living in the Fifth ward I'M
consciously made very strong argu-
ment in favor of the location in the
aforementioned ward being chosen,
while thinking she was putting a
damper on it. In conversation with one
Of her neighbors she said: She hoped
to goodness the harvester works would
not come near where she lived, as
it would certainly raise the rents,
and she was paying all she
could afford. While this may be right
from her standpoint. it certainly has it's
weight with landlords, who see that by
the desired location their houses will be
occupied all the year round and at a
good high rental, and If the lady will
ponder moment she will see how she
can afford to pay Il little higher rent,
owing to the fact that work will be
more plenty, and instead of her hus-
band being idle part of the time, ne,
also, will be supplied with remunera-
tive labor all the season round.

ALL HANDS LOST.
Fearful Marine Disaster on North
Sea

LONDON, Feb. 26.-News OF a terrible
disaster on the North sea by which
steamer went to the bottom. carrying
with her every soul on board with only
one exception, was received in this city
at a late hour tonight. Only meager
details of the catastrophe have yet been
obtained. but from the dispatches al
ready at hand it is learned that the
steamers LOughbrew (British) and For
est Queen came into collision off Flam-
borough, a village of York county, Eas
Riding, OIL the North sea.
The vessels crashed together with
great force, and the Forest Queen was
torn apart by the bow OF the Lough-
brow. The damages Sustained by the
Forest Queen were SO extensive that the
sea began to rush through the breaches
made in her hull in great volume. So
quickly did the Forest Queen founder
that her crew had no chance to save
their lives.and all hands, with the sin
gle exception of the captain, went down
with her to watery grave.
The dispatches give no information
as to the extent OF the damage done to
the LOughbrow.

effect that Great Britain will positively
join the United States, Germany and
France in calling an international BIZ
metallic money conference on condition
that the British representatives. will not
pledge their government In advance to
abide by the decision Of the conference.
The fact that England has expressed a
Willingness to join in a conference to-
ward the recognition of silver of money.
even with a cautious condition coupled
to it, was regarded in financial circles as
one of the greatest Importance.
1t is said that the conference will be
announced soon. after the arrival of
Secretary Foster in London. The Off
cial announcement of the conference
will, it is expected, bring about lively
bull market, for all silver seares will
vanish until the conference finishes its
work, and if silver is recognized CAPT
taliSts will know what to depend On. 1t
is stated that Secretary Foster. when he
arrives in London, will call on Mr..

chequer. and will likely discuss the
scheme of the conference. but interest
