WHITNEY WALL WE'D.
The Popular St. PauIite Takes a
Blue Grass Belle.

Special to the Globe
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 3.-Miss Rosa
Mcdonald, one of the bellies of this city,
was married this evening to Whitney
c. Wall, of st. Paul. Father Dunn
officiated. The wedding took place at
the residence of the brides parents, the
home being beautifully decorated. All
the flowers used were Gala lilies, which
were maSsed against the green back
ground of palms and smilaX at one end
of the saloon parlor. The palms were
arranged to form canopy with the
pendent blooms of the Gala. The smi-
lax was used in the decoration of the
mantelS. The young ladies, wearing
gowns of white and pink, holding gar
lands of smilax and flowers, formed an
aisle along which the bride and her maid
of honor passed to meet the
groom, who entered with his best man
at the opposite end of the rooms. The
young ladies were Misses Mary Barrett,
Matte Shanklin, Ella Harris, Hattie
Young, Matte Castleman and Katie
Coleman. Miss Sallie Mcdonald, the
sister of the bride, acted as maid of
honor. She wore gown of pink gauze
over pink silk and carried bouquet of
pink roses. The brides toilet, though

long, and pulled very high upon the
shoulders. She wore the customary
veil, and carried a bunch of lilies. Miss
Mcdonald made very handsome bride,
and, as her sister is equally attractive,
the two made very striking pair. Mr..
Armstrong, of st. Paul, was the best
man. He and the groom came III to-
gether through door just opposite that
by which the bride entered, and the
four met under the canopy of palms,
where the service was read.

partments at the high school, which re-
port was adopted.
Mr.. Pyle, as chairman of the commit
tee on supplies. brought up the matter
OF the need of supplementary reading
in the school libraries. Supt. Gilbert
explained that in former years the
money received from tuition pupils had
been used for library purposes. but IN
the last two years there had been
no revenue from this source. the school
libraries were greatly in need of books.
He had compiled list. from suggeS-
tons made by the different principals,
Of books needed. which list he sub
m!tted. Dir. Smith moved that the conf
mittee OH supplies be directed to spend
not to exceed $500 in buying supple
mentary reading, and that the commit
|, tee carefully consider Supt. Gilbert's
list. Or. Keane said he believed there
were number of seriously objection
able books in some of the school libra-
ries. and asked that Mr.. Gilbert have a
catalogue prepared for the infoi nation
of the board. The motion of Dr.. Smith
was then adopted.
The secretary reported that the bills
and accounts had been properly signed
paid. Then DR.. Smith arose, and, after
declaring that he had an Old-fashiOned
notion that rules were made to be kept.
said that Secretary White had violated
the rules of the board. The rules pro-
vide that the pay roll of each school
shall be made out by the principal, and
that if the secretary finds the roll in
correct it shall be thrown out and no
|. salaries allowed that month. DIR. Smith
affirmed that Secretary White had not
done this, but hau himself corrected the
pay rolls. DR.. Smith moved that Secre-
tary White be instructed to obey this
rule of the board.
Secretary White explained his con-
duct. He said his action was unayoia-
able, as some of the principals were
ignorant of the rules of the board. and
Invariably sent in Incorrect pay rolls.
Mr.. Pyle objected to the rule. 1t was
unjust tie deprive the teachers of their
salaries for one month just because the
principal had sent in an incorrect pay
roll, whereupon ne and Dr. Smith had
an interesting discussion on vicarious
suffering, and DIR. Smith declared that
some of the principals reports were
disgraceful. The principals ought to
know better.
Mr.. Pyle suggested that the rule ought
to be changed so that only the principals
should suffer for incorrect pay rolls and
motion that the rule be suspended for
one month. DR.. Smith did not accept
the substitute, but it was nevertheless
carried.
DR.. Bridgeman brought the matter of
defective eyesight among the pupils to
the attention of the board, and said that
many pupils were not doing good work
because of eye troubles.
DR.. Keane suggested that Mr.. Gilbert
instruct the teachers to notify the
parents of cases of defective eyesight
they had noticed.
DR.. Smith again brought up the pay
roll question, and after discussion, the
secretary was empowered to make
proper changes in the pay rolls SUBJ

THE STREET RAILWAY BOOKS
Will Probably Be Called Upon to
Settle the Dispute.


Settle the Dispute.
There are liable to be number Of
interesting developments in the matter
OF the earningso of the st. Paul street
railway. City Treasu rer Refs and Cor
poration Attorney Lawler are interest
ing themselves in the case, and it is
likely that the astute railway magnate,
Mr.. Lowry, will be forced to bring his
books into court, and show exactly
what his various lines IN the city EARNED
last year. According to the statement
of earnings published in Minneapolis
newspaper, st. Paul is accredited with
S7S3. 900, and Minneapolis with Sl,525,-
600. Inasmucb as the greater portion
of the interurban line lies within tie
corporate limits of st. Paul, City Treas
urer Refs is of the opinion that the en-
tire earnings of that line have been
placed to the credit of Minneapolis. to
the detriment of this city from point
of municipal taxation. According to
the above figures the gross earnings in
both cities are S2,10S,0 600, and Mr.. Refs
is of the opinion that the interurban
line contributes one-fifth of the entire
sum. To divide this equitably, and
give st. Paul her just portion, the earn
ings of the line in the city would be
1888. 900 and Minneapolis 81, 125, 900. ap-
proXimately. The exact status Of affairs
will be determined when the books of
the street railway company are exposed

while the railroad committees have not
been, heard from as yet, but it is stated
| will be prepared with favorable report
. to be submitted to the special meeting
Friday night. As the site of the Crosby
tract is being more fully discussed, it
is. gaining in favor every day. Many
citizens, and those who are particularly
interested,are going out and looking the
ground over and on their return
give. very favorable, expressions OF
opinion III regard to the eligibility of
the site, especially the point of securing
homes for those who will be employed
at the works. while the immense
amount of land at disposal and its
easy access. as we'll as the
splendid railroad - facilities which
lave. been assured by the Minnesota
Transfer, the Milwaukee, and Omaha
roads, they say are equal to any offered
by competitors for tile location. This
site is practically in a business portion
OF the city, and the location at this point
would make it necessary to Immediately
divide the Fifth ward, creating new
ward. and will this nut at rest any idea
OF creating Suburban RESORT that
would result in detriment to the
city proper. The fact of its being i'm a
new. ward with its own representation
in council would insure its loyalty to
the city, and no croaker would ever have
occasion to say it was a big mistake to
choose this site.

SOMEBODY LIED.
But the Court Dropped IL as Being
ImmateriaI.


An affidavit was handed to Judge
Cornish a day or two ago by Benn
Davis, associate counsel for Marks
Michael in the alleged arson case, which
asserted that the detective, Fl. II.
Forbes, had sought to influence William
Cohen, witness for the defense. The
matter was taken up by Judge Cornish
after the conclusion of the trial yester-
day. Cohen testified that Forbes went
to his store and told him that if he did
not testify as Forbes wished he would
have Cohen .sent over the road"
Detective Forbes denied making
any such statement, but admitted
that he had gone. to Cohen's
store to inquire where certain man
lived, whom the police authorities init
mated something about the arson case.
Benn Davis asked Forbes if he did not
remark to Cohen II will fix you Shee-
MES" Forbes emphatically denied
making any such remark. Judge Cor
nish said there is direct issue Of
veracity between Forbes and Cohen,
and as it appeared that both Forbes and
Cohen had testified in the case before
the alleged occurrence. and as it did not
appear that the case had been affected
by the incident, even if true, he would
let the matter drop.

We want to send a word to

you halfway, and send you
samples or information, and,
better than all, if you can
tell us your wants we will
do our best to please you,
and if we fail we will refund
the money Or try again, as
you may elect.
You see we cannot al
