HE WAS A STICKER,
And Chung to the Bar With a Te-
nacity of PurpoSe.

nacity of Purpose.
The head barkeeper at the Ebbitt has
an amusing story that he likes to tell.
About ten years ago, when the proprie-
tor of that house concluded to move the
bar downstairs. man had been there
all the evening, and had imbibed rather
freely, says the Washington Post.
Towards midnight some of his friends
took him home, but he was reStleSS.and
could not sleep, and in a few hours he
concluded to go back for several more
drinks, When he reached the Ebbitt
he was surprised to find that sign had
been placed on the door which read
FLOWS this?" he inquired. 81 was
here not long ago and now you say the
bar has been moved"
Yes" remarked one of the attaches
of the hotel. "If you want a drink
badly and must have it the men are at
Work down stairs and you can probably
get it.'
Down stairs they went and sure enough
the visitor was accommodated, but he
actually remained there all day, from 5
O'Clock in the morning until 10 O'Clock
at night, in one place, and kept drink
ing plain whisky. His friends heard of
it, and at the last-named hour besought
him to 60 home.
BLAMED if 1 do" he calculated. 81
know the trick. l went with you last
night, and they moved the bar down
stairs while was away, and if | go now
they'll move it somewhere else. Not
much"
Finally his friends succeeded in get
ting him away, and soon afterward he
disappeared from Washington, and did
not return in ten whole years. He made
much money out West, and when here
recently opened a few bottles of wine in
the Ebbitt for the sake of old times.

MOSES MANY NAMES.
The Great Law-Giver Had No Less
+ Than Eight Applications.

\ 1t is curious fact, unknown, per-
haps, to majority of readers, that
Moses of Scriptural fame was called by
eight different names in various places
in the Bible. says the st. Louis Re-
publ
Bathia. the daughter of Pharaoh,
called him Moses because she drew him
out Of the water. Jochebed, his mother,
called him Jekuthiel, saying: 81 had
hoped for him."
Miriam. his sister, called him Jared,
because she had descended after him
into the water TO see what his end
would be.
Aaron called his brother Abb Zanuch,
because his father had deserted their
mother.
Amram, the father of Moses. called
the boy Chabar because he was again
reunited to the mother of the lad. Ke-
hath. the grandfather of Moses, called
him Abigdor because God had repaired
the breach in the house OF Jacob. The
nurse of the grandfather of Moses called
him Abb Socho because he was once
hidden three months in the tabernacle.
All Israel called him Shemalah be-
cause "in his days God heard their cries
and rescued them from their Oppres-
sors." Summing up the whole we find
that this great lawgiver was known at
various times and by various people as
Moses, Jekuthiel, Jared, Zanuch, Cha
bar, Abigdor, Socho, Shemaiah.

WILL BORROW MONEY.
The Board of Education Must
Have $4,000.


The board of education held regular
meeting yesterday, but the business
transacted was principally of routine
nature, the matters of Importance all
being laid over.
A petition was received from fifteen
citizens who urged the board to open
the Bancroft school as soon as possible.
The communication was referred to the
committee on rules and the superln-
tendent.
A. Humphrey asked to be given au-
thority as agent to sell a certain piece of
property which the board owns on Mar
shall street northeast, near the river.
Mr.. humphreys request was denied,
and it was decided to advertise for pro-
posals.
The building committee reported adj
versely upon the proposition to put the
United States patent ventilating sys-
TEN in those schools not now provided
with ventilation. The committee set
forth that the season was now far adj
vanced and that it would not be advis-
able at this time to incur comparative
ly unnecessary expence of nearly $4,000.
Bernard Cloutier, agent for the venti-
latorS, appeared before the board but
failed to convince the members that the
system was necessity and the report
of the committee was adopted.
The committee on finance submitted
report which showed the amount OH
hand to he ss.27s.23 and the disburse-
ments for February to be S4S, 500. IA.
The committee stalled that in order to
meet these obligations it would be nee
essary to borrow $4,000 and recon-
mended that this be done. With the
report were submitted proposals from
two firms and Dean Bros. offered to
loan the board $4,000 at AZ per cent
interest, with one-eighth of per cent
commission and one-eighth of per cent
exchange, and c. c. Garland offered to
loan the full amount required, S42, 900,
at AZ per cent interest, with one-eighth
of per cent commission and one-fourth
of per cent exchange. The latter pro-
posal was found to be the more favor
able, and it was decided to accept it.
The building committee asked for
more time on the plans of the proposed
new high school in South Minneapolis,
and it was granted. A special meeting
of the board will be held at o'clock
this afternoon to consider the plans.
Not word was said about displacing
Supt. j. E. Bradley, or about re-electing
him.

AS soon as court convened in the
afternoon County Attorney Than called
his first witness, Mrs. Mary A. Good
rich. Her testimony in her civil suit
against ByrneS, who is her son-in-law,
was very strong. 1t was thought that
she would lease up a little when 1T
came to giving testimony to convict her
son-in-law of the crime of forgery, but
she didn't. She was just as positive in
the statement that the alleged forged
satiSfactions covered only two lots when
she signed them. She was shown the
satisfactIOnS with the alleged forged
lnterlineationS, and stated that the
lnterllneations were not on the docu-
ments when she signed them. She
also stated that she had never given
Byrnes authority to make the inter-
.lineationS. Mrs. Goodrich'S testimony,
i'll detail. was the same as she gave in
the civil case, and it was very damag-
ing to the defendant. Attorney Jami-
son croSs-eXamined the witness rather
sharply. but could not weaken her
testimony in any way.
Mr.. Than wanted TO call Mrs. Knight
as the next witness. and, as that lady
was absent on account of sickness, the
trial was adjourned to this morning.

had been announced as associate coun-
sci for Penny IL Jamison for the de-

MARRIAGE IN PARIS.
Saturday Is the Popular Day for
WOrkingmen What Is Neces-

Saturday Is the Popular Day for
WOrkingmen- What Is Neces-
sary.
Before Pierre can with safety select
his particular Saturday ne has multi
tude of civil and religious requirements
to attend to. Neither he nor Lizette
can think of such thing as marrying
without the consent of their families,
says the New York Press. If father,
mother and grandparents are dead, a
family council must be called of the
nearest living relatives to consider the
case and give or withhold permission.
If it is refused to Pierre and he is un-
der twenty-five, or to Lizette and she is
under tWenty-One, the marriage cannot
go on.
For eleven days before the civil mar
rage can take place there must be
posted at the door of the mayors office
in the reimbursement in which each
lives bulletin giving the names, occu-
patton and residence of the persons to
be married and full data about both
parties.
If there is religious service the bans
will be published three Sundays rum
ming in the church of the parish at
tended by each party.
Whlle these prelImlnarleS are in prog
ress Pierre is collecting the documents
necessary for the civil ceremony. 1t is
no small outlay, for each must be made
out on official paper-an expensive lux
ury in Paris. There must be certificates
Of the births of himself and Lizette.
When all this has been done it will be
safe to sign the marriage contract-that
is, if they have one, which is doubtful.
A marriage contract means that there is
property to be regulated, and Partisan
workman and his fancee are not often
incumbered in that way. But even if
there is little property, and Lizette has
no dot at all. there are certain social re-
quirements for them both. Etiquette
taxes them less in trouble than the law.
but more in purse. If Pierre were rich
he would present LlZette with a cor
BELLE made up of jewels. lace and per-
haps a cashmere shawl. but as it is he
will give her some article for her we'd
ding toilet-a white shawl, perhaps, or
veil, or gloves. He will send her a
bouquet, too, on the morning of the
wedding. and he will provide ring and
marriage piece" AS for Lizette, she
must buy for her future husband mis-
wedding shirt, hose and crayat.

TIM WAS COOL.
Although on Trial for Forgery, He
Did Not Weaken.
Tim Byrnes is a cucumber.

Tim ByrneS is cucumber.
He was the coolest man in the GRIM
inal court room yesterday-even if he
was the defendant in the forgery case
ON trial. He didn't seem to be very
much impressed with the enormity
he was charged with. Perhaps he felt
satisfied that acquittal was assured and
thought the trial nothing more than a
farce. Certain it is that he was not at
all uneasy as to the outcome. Tim felt
so good-natured during the day that he
even congratulated the states attorney
upon the excellent opening address he
made to the jury.
The court room was not crowded
notwithstanding the fact that the fel-
low on trial happened to be the leader
of the Republican party in Minnesota.
The evidence in the case, of course, is
substantially the same as that given in
the Goodrich Byrnes civil case last
week, and therefore it is neither in
tensely Interesting nor new. This may
account for the slim attendance at the
criminal trial.
The work of securing a jury con-
sumed the entire forenoon. At 1918
O'Clock the following twelve jurors had
been accepted and sworn and the court
adjourned until o'clock:

A PREFERRED CREDITOR.
He Certainly Did Come iu Ahead
of the Others.

A good story is going the rounds about
a New York merchant who recently
failed for large amount. He called all
his creditors together and offered to set
tie with them for 10 cents on the dollar,
giving them his notes, payable in thirty
days, says the Paper Mill.
AS most of the creditors had little hope
of getting anything, they eagerly accept
ed the proposition. One man, however,
stood out for better terms, and all efforts
to get him to agree were futile. Finally
the bankrupt took him out in the hall
and said:
sven you come in an sign nit de I'D
ders. den make you preferred cred
itor."
"All right" said the kicker, 'under
those circumstances will agree to a
settlement"
The papers were signed and all the
creditors left except the one who had
been told he was to be preferred.
"Wat are you waiting for?" said the
man who had failed.
why, you said was to be preferred.
am waiting to know what am to get"
well, | tell you-yOu get notings."
"Get nothing? Why. you promised to
make me preferred creditor if would
sign with the rest"
And so you are. / make you pre-
ferred. l tell you now you gets notings.

BULLET IN HIS NECK.
An Unknown Man Commits Su

An Unknown Man Commits Sui
eide at the Depot.
A middle-aged man believed to be B.
kundson, but about whom no definite
information has as yet been obtained,
committed suicide at the union depot
yesterday morning. About $50 the at
tention of the employees about the depot
was attracted by the sound of a pistol
shot, which came from one of the
closets. They ran to the door
but could not open it and were forced
to climb over the partition. 1t was
then found that Knudson had seated
himself on the floor with his back
against the door, and, placing the muz-
Zle of revolver i'll his mouth, had de-
liberately taken his own life.
The body was removed to Gleason &
McAllister's morgue, where it now lies
awaiting Identification. The only pa
per found in the pockets of the dead
mans clothing was blank application
to st. Paul lodge of Masons, on the
back of which was written in the Nor
wegian language:
Dear Sanna-Forgive me- You have the
consolation of knowing that l have been a
Free Mason. B. KNUDsoN
The deceased was man of medium
height and weight. apparently about
forty years of age. and wore a black
mouStache and beard. He was dressed
like a workingmau, and had on a soft
hat and an almost new blush gray over

BICHLoRIDE OF GOLD.

Another Institution for Admins
apolis.
An enemy more potent than the cru
sader and his little complaint IN the mu-
nicipal court is in the field against the
saloon. The bichloride of gold treat
ment for the cure of the drinking habit
is becoming fad. Institutions for the
treatment of this habit continue to null
tiply and replenish the earth with sober
men. Minneapolis already has two of
them IN successful operation, which is
doing quite we'll for one city where
drunkards are few. One of them is the
Minneapolis Medical and Surgical insti-
tute, which has come into possession of
the formul8 of the lie Due institute,
formerly of ST. Anthony Park. The
other is the Mathis u Hughes
institution in South Minneapolis
that is turning out reformed
drunkardS from among the best known
men IN the city at the rate of four or five
a day. Now this cityis to have another
a bran new one. 1t is backed by ample
capital and intends to enter the field as
a reforming agent for revenue only.
The physician with the formula, for
there must be formula in this business,
is one DR.. Van Cleve. He Is not Min
DeapOlis man, at least his name does
not appear among the physicians in the
Minneapolis directory, but he is ply
stefan and he claims to have system of
treatment that is superior to the treat
ment of DR.. Kelley, of Dwight. A
company has been formed in Minneap-
oils to put this system before the public,
and offices in the heart of the city will
be opened in few days. Two of the
men behind the enterprise are George
E. Maxwell, the cashier of the Flour
City National bank, and William B.
Folds, formerly of the firm of Folds 81
Griffith. They will be ready in a few
days to cure drunkenness in all its
forms

JUSTIFIED CRUELTY.
The Reason John Liebenow's Wife
Fails to Get a Divorce.

Ida Liebenow cannot have the divorce
she has tried so hard to get. Judge
CAVITY so decided the case yesterday.
Ida sued for divorce on the ground of
cruel and inhuman treatment, and the
court decides that her husband was JUS
tilted in his acts of cruelty. The decis-
ion states that Ida told her husband
that she was going to St. Cloud to visit
relatives, but instead she went to Frid-
ley and met James Griffin, with whom
she travelled for four days. When she
returned home she admitted to her hus-
band that she had committed adultery
with Griffin, and the admission so en-
ragged him that ne tore her clothes from
her back and threatened her with a
drawn sword. This court thinks Mr.,
Liebenow was justified in doing that.
The wife's prayer for divorce is de-
MED. Mr.. Liebenow might have secured
a decree on the ground of adultery, but
he stated at the trial that he did not
want divorce.

Thomas Nelson Page Here.

Thomas Nelson Page, one of the best
writer's of short character stories now
living, is at the West. Mr.. Page is a
lawyer by profession. but has been writ
ing all his life. He has become what
might be called famous only recently.
He first attracted serious attention from
the leading literary lights of the coun-
try through "Marse Chan" short story
in Virginia negro dialect, which APP
peared in the Century not over a half
dozen years ago. Since then he has
done a good deal of work in the same
line, nearly all of it for the Century.
Most of his stories have to do with Incl
dents connected with the war. He has
practically given up the law, and is de-
voting all his time to literature. A few
months ago he was engaged as editor of
the Harper's Drawer department. in
Harper's magazine. the department
over which Charles Dudley Warner has
so long presided. Mr.. Page visited
Minneapolis once before in profess
sional capacity.

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
1t Is Discussed by the Single Tai
League.

The meeting of the Single Tax league
last evening was devoted to a discus
sion of the currency question, which
which was introduced by c. j. Buell. in
a paper entitled Currency Fallacies."
Mr.. Buell. advanced his well known
views on the currency question, arguing
in favor of the issuance by the govern
ment of notes to the amount
OF its revenue. When the paper
was taken up for discussion
Frank Larrabee was called upon. He
said that in his opinion the function of
a government was simply to deal with
affairs of a strictly public nature. Money
did not come under this head and if
there was no government there would
still be money of some kind.
II. B. Martin attacked the coin certifi-
Gates issued under the act of July IA,
1890, and insisted that they were not
good money for the reason that the act
included clause which makes them
legal tender Except otherwise stipu-
lated in the contract" This clause in
similar acts, he claimed. had been re-
spOnsible for the depreciation of money.
