DROP IN PIG LEAD
Believed to Have Caused a Chi
cago Assignment.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Eyerett & Post.
one of the largest pig lead and speiter
commission houses in the country. have
assigned to Edward Euettel. Head
quarters are at st. Louis, and the as
signment is said to have been made
there yesterday. At o'clock this att
ernoon deed covering the Chicago
property was fled. The Chicago branch
alone did business aggregating S5,0OO,-
600 last year, and the st. LOUIS house
nearly doubled these figures.
AT the office of the company in this
city nothing could be learned as to the
assets and liabilities. Those familiar
with the lead and zinc commission bust
ness. however, say that. the firm has
been caught by q serious drop in the
market, and has been unable to meet
contracts. Recently zinc spelter
dropped 119-cents pound. and pig lead
has also dropped several pegs.
The firm was organized fifteen years
ago at st. Louis. and has done asteadiiy
Increasing business. 1t has never been
Incorporated, and Richard Everett and
Henry r. Post are said TO be
the only one interested or finan-
cIally responsible. The Chicago Of
flee was organized seven years ago,
and has handled large volume of trade
formerly sent through the main office.
Edward Buettel, the assignee. is chief
bookkeeper in the St. Louis office. He
will take possession at once.
The schedule filed in the recorders
office today shows assets of S57, 995, made
up chiefly of lead and spelter Oh hand
and stock in the BoyntOn-Strong COM
pany, and liabilities of S1l3, 745. The
heaviest creditors are the Boston Com
mission company. OF Chicago. SIS, 654;
Chicago National bank. 81, 500: Fourth
National bank, St Louis, <s13, SOB, and
WaShDurn & Co., W ooSter, Mass, S12, 962.
One of the firms creditors say the as
signment was against the wishes of the
creditors and was unnecessary: that
the firm was unable to release some
money which was tied up and resorted
to the courts for the settlement of the
difficulty and that it will resume opera
tions within few days.
ST. LOUIS. Jan. 23.-Everett & Post,
commission merchants dealing in pig
lead and spelter. have assigned. Assets,
$4,000; liabilities not stated, but they
are believed to be small. Mr.. Everett

UNIVERSITY NEWS.

assured success. Soon the small boy

Something new in senior rhetoricals
was begun this week. The plan, though
new to the present students at the uni
versity, was in use a long time ago.
Those seniors who have excelled in
rhetorical work are given an opportunity
of delivering orations at the close of
chapel exercises before all the students.
Two orations' have been given already
by Miss Robinson and Mr.. Graves.
The university world is slightly agi-
tated over the question as to how the
Pillsbury prizes will be disposed of. AS
1t is now, the Oratorical association has
the disposition of them, and they are
given to the successful competitors in
the Oratorical contest. The question
now under consideration is whether
the present arrangement will
be continued, or the prizes be
given to the best speakers of the senior
class on commencement day; also
whether freshmen, sophs, juniors
and seniors alike or the seniors alone
be allowed to compete. Prof. Sanford,
who has the final decision in the mat
ter. has agreed to submit the question to
the junior and senior classes and to be
largely Influenced by them in her decis-
ion.

MORE TO INVESTIGATE.
Additional Irregularities Found
in the Fire Department Pay
Rolls

The work before the council COM
mittee on fire department in Investigate
Ing the irregularities in the pay rolls of
the fire department has assumed greater
proportions than Aid. Grsy's recent
discovery showed.
Since the last council meeting, when
Aid. Gray, chairman of the committee
OH claims, disclosed the fact that for
five months Secretary Snyder had been
drawing S20per month in excess of his
authorized salary, it has been found
that several other members of the de-
partment have had their salaries ad-
vanced in the same irregular and in
formal manner.
l.. s. Head, who has been filling the
position of assistant secretary, has been
drawing sos per month since March
last, when he was appointed, while the
salary as fixed by the council is only
$50. In December Capt. Sandy Hamil-
ton received 500, he having acted as
assistant chief, in place of Chief Canter-
bury, who was ill, but Canterbury also
drew full salary for the same time, and
Hamilton's increase was not authorized
by the council. This irregularity has
been remedied in the January pay roll,
which allows Hamilton only $40, instead
of SIS, his regular salary. Frank
Stevenson and Adam Hunter appear on
the pay rolls as drawing 800 and $50,
respectively. as hOrSeShoers, although
no such position has ever been author
lied by the council.
Chief Runge shouldered the entire
blame of the raise in Secretary Snyder's
salary, and it is likely he will do so in
these other cases, although it is sug-
gested by many that the committee on
fire department was not entirely igno-
rant of the charges.
The chief refuses to talk of the matter
for publication until after the commit
tee meeting of tomorrow morning. but
he states that personally he fears moth
ing, and can satisfactorily explain bis
connection with these matters.
Deputy Comptroller Rogers stated
yesterday that it was absolutely impos-
sible for that department to know the
salaries of all the city employees or to
check the names and amounts on every
pay roll. The pay rolls were accepted,
he said upon the D. Z. of the chief of
each department.

crate scenic productions ever shown
will be that of Frederick Paulding's
The Struggle of Life" which will have
It's first production in this city at the
Bijou theater. The play, which has
New York, to crowded houses, has won
such spontaneous praise for the mag
nltlcence of its settings that the New
\ Ork Herald devoted three co lumns to
an illustrated article descriptive of
the mechanical and scenic triumphs
in which the play abounds. The
scenes, Illustrative of various points
of interest i'll New York city, are
realistic and strikingly accurate. L he
story itself may be imagined from the
title. The plot is full of originality, the
situations remarkable for their strength
and power, and the denOument striking
w in inf IL ;c
ever, i'll its scenic triumphS that 1.-The
Struggle of Life" challenges competi-
ton. Among the more notable scenes
are view of the Battery in winter by
moonlight, and the Bartholdi Statue of
Liberty, with its flashing light. The
view of Fifth avenue, showing st. Pat
rick's cathedral, the Vanderbilt resi-
dence and the Langham hotel, is pro-
nounced marvel of beauty. The
typical New York dive exhibits
an entirely different phase of
life, and the city hall park gives view
familiar to all who have visited the
metropolis. But the browning triumph
of this wonderful production is the great
dock and sewer scene. 1t shows the
mouth of the great sewer, there being a
double stage, down which the hero is
borne into the river, with all the massive
shipping and water front surroundings,
giving an effect so natural as to elicit
round after round of applause when it
is revealed. Mr.. Paulding is supported
by company of uniform excellence.

lesque company will conclude It's sue

FOR CHA RITY'S SAKE.
Minneapolis Elks Preparing an
Excellent Programme for Their
Renefit

There is no lack of interest in the
Elks' benefit that will be given at the
Bijou opera house on Friday afternoon,
Jan. 20. Among the latest acquisitions
to the already elaborate programme is
announced the appearance of the Danz
concert orchestra, directed by Prof.
DanZ himself, In one OF his best selec-
tionS, the overture from "MIgnOn.'
The comedy features of the entertain
ment promises to be very we'll taken
ayers Conklln and Zonne the Cleve-
land Consolidated Minstrels have
volunteered and will present two
or three acts of genuine old
time black-faced mlnstrelsy. One of
the features of the performance
will be the presentation by Frederick
Paulding's company of the entire second
act of the scenic play, The Struggle of
Life" While many encOmiums have
been at different times showered upon
different organizations for their scenic
strength, there is not one that has APP
peared in Minneapolis during the last
season that can compare in immensely
to the stage requirements of this produc-
ton. 1t is said to represent the perfec-
ton of modern stage mechanism and
ingenuity. Frederick Paulding himself
will appear, supported by his strong and
capable company. Another feature of
the comedy portion of the entertain
ment will be the appearance of
the Ferguson and Mack company
in "McCarthy's Mishaps." Man
ager 9. E. Rice has kindly vol
unteered the appearance of his star in
the entire third act of the play. The
reputation Of Mr.. Ferguson as define
altar of Irish character comedy is suf-
fciently strong to warrant the state
ment that this feature of the entertain
ment will be good. Manager Hilton
will offer from his Twin City play houses
several acts from the Creole Burlesque
company, among them being the APP
Dearance of Charles w. Johnson, local
young man, whose efforts and feats Of
terpsichore have ATTRACTED considerable
attention. Manager Hilton has also
been unanimously chosen to act as stage
director for the performance. Manager
Pride, of the Museum, has kindly vollin-
teered the services of Giovanni, the
celebrated European stereo ptician, who
wiIEpresenta series of dissoIyi ng views,
including some that have been recently
and that are novelties in their
line. Among the local volunteers are
included Profs. Schlacther and Shibly,
