Stirring a Sensitive Mixture.
Come up to the factory some day, and
I'll 81 ow you how we make nitroglycerin,"
was the invitation received one afternoon
in the oil country from an extensive manu-
facturer of the terrible explosive.
The invitation was very cordial one,
but there were considerations which made
me somewhat slow in accepting it. I'VE
have bout seven tons of dynamite in one
magazine, aud two tons of glycerin in an
other said my would be host. These
were among the considerations which de
tered me.
"BuJ," he added, there's no particular
danger. in looking at the dynamite unless
the building catches fire You can play
baseball with the cartridges and they will
never strike back, or you can pour the
dynamite out on the ground and set fire
to it without being injured. Cnconfined
the EXP losive will burn harmlessly, but |
should not advise you to touch a match TO
loaded cartridge. When the gases eX-
pand they do so in extreme haste, and If
anything tries to restrain them it breaks,
and some one gets hurt"
The nitroglycerin man laughed rather
grimly. Then, apparently thinking that

ing enough. he continued: But it's diff
ferent with nitroglycerin. Baseball and
fireworks are strictly prohibited. Glycerin
is easily offended, and when it resents an
affront The world hears about it. but the

"Glycerin Is as tickle and changeable
too, as tie wind. One day a slight shock

THE G vcerin's readiness or reluctance
to explode doubtless depends upon its quail

and clean, and another may be full of i'm

THIEVES STILL WITH US
The NicOllet House Thoroughly
Looted by Trio of
Thieves.
Police Seem Powerless to Either
Capture or Brighten
Them.

The work of the sneak thief and burg
lar appears to continue day and night
without interruption in st. Paul at the
present time. Yesterday morning the
Nicollet house, on Sixth street, near
Rosabel, was visited by gang of hotel
Sneaks, whose work would indicate that
they were experts, and who succeeded
in taking off, nearly the entire third
floor. In fact. the only rooms not
thoroughly ransacked were those not
containing valuables.
The robbery was first discovered
about noon, and it was then found that
every occupied room on the third floor
had been visited and everything port
able and of value removed therefrOm.
These rooms for the most part were de-
voted to the use of the female help, but
several of them " ere occupied by guests
of the house. The thieves had, to
Judge from the tracks which they
left evidently done their work in
hurry but skiilfully withal. In cases
where they found trunks or chests
locked they had simply pried off the
hinges and turned the lids over back
ward, and in no case bad they failed to
make a thorough search. When the
losses were figured up it was found that
there were missing two gold watches,
four gold rings and numerous articles
of wearing apparel, beside sos in money.
Those connected with the house are
convinced that the robbery was the
work of three young fellows who came
on the previous evening and registered
as John Manning. S. S. Shelby and II.
Smith. These young fellows conducted
themselves strangely and remained in
their rooms, which were on the third
floor, late in the morning and went
away singly without being seen. 1t is
supposed that the robbery occurred be-
tween 1890 and II clock.

Miss Marlowe as Partbenia.

THE IMPROVEMENT GOES.

Objection to Widening Seventh
Street Beaten in Court.
Judge Otis has filed decision in the
matter of the application for judgment
against certain property for assessments
for opening, widening and extending
East Seventh street from Broadway to
Rosabel street. The assessments were
objected to by John Stees and large
number of other property owners. The
objections were overruled, and judg-
ment was directed as asked for by the
city treasurer against the property own
ers. 1t was objected that the city has
no :, power to condemn and take
lands for public purposes because
no adequate means have been provided
for the payment for lands so taken. On
this point Judge Otis says that he sees
no reason why a deficiency in the
assessment for damages over the bene-
fits may not be paid out of the general
fund for current and Incidental ex-
penseS. The damages to be. paid are
made charge upon the whole city, and
this constitutes adequate authority for
taking private property for public pur-
poses. The notice of the assessment is
deemed sufficient, and it is held that
the board of public works did not make
mistake of facts, and was not guilty of
fraud in the assessments. 1t is also
held that the property of the DIRECTORS
was subject TO assessments for damages.

4 Week OF "Lost Paradise. e"

One of the most important American
events of the season will be the first appear
anee at the Metropolitan opera house for an
engagement of six nights of H. C. De Miles
highly successful play, 1.-The Lost Paradise, u
which will be presented in the same COM
plete manner that characterized its success
full runs in New York for 800 nights in Bos-
ton $50 nights, and in Chicago 100 nights.
The play is distinctly American in
theme and locality. in characters
and in treatment. MIR. De Mile has woven
about an every day topic of the times love
story of powerful interest, and invested it
with strong, forciole and graceful dialogue
The second act of the play brings the auditor
into an iron foundry in full swing, and it has
everywhere been conceded as one of the
most forcible scenes ever presented on the
American stage. Seats can be had at the
box office today.

TWO SOUND REASONS

Why the Old Market Ark Will
Not Be a Bath House Yet.
The assembly committee on public
buildings. which was called to meet
yesterday afternoon, found very little
business to occupy its attention. The
resolution which contemplates the con-
version of the market house into free
public bath establishment was laid over
indefinitely for two very potent reasons,
first, because tine plan does not meet
with the approval of the committee, and
secondly, for the reason that special
act OF the legislature will be necessary
before it can be put into effect.

citation was granted the use of Market

Sunday, and for this reason they were
refused their pay yesterday. The strike
occurred in this way: One of the girls
had been accused of impoliteness to a
guest. The head waiter was directed to
discharge her. and upon his refusal to
do so was himself discharged by Mr..
Foley. The girls stood by the head
waiter and went out with him. The
places of the girls were filled with men,
and the girls are calling them horrid

The committee on education confined
its report for the most part to a report
of the flourishIng condition of Pills
bury's academy, at Owatonna. and sug-
gested that the convention resolve to
raise 81, 600 for the current expenses of
the academy, the amount to be appOr-
toned among the various churches. The
suggestion was adopted by the conyen-
ton. g;
Rev. S. A. Mckay spoke of the duty
of the convention to Pillsbury,s acad.
envy, and of the great good work the
school is doing and can do for the
church.
Hon. George A. PilIsbury was pres
