highest ebb. When the archbishop eX-
claimed. in period of impasSioned elo-
| Quenee, a word concerning the probable
pToitableneSs of Mr.. Lowry's interur-
ban and Twin City improvements, and
the new transfer system, Col. King ln-
terrupted to cry:

[Lowry's notes they are of face
vaiue,' and theentire throng cheered

thusiasm prevailed. He had touched

Paul and Minneapolis, and the partisan
of the one city was prone to fall upon
the neck OF the other. 1t was happy
scene. When Thomas Lowry was in
trOduced, and. as the great street car
and 500 magnate seemed to hesitate,
Col. King arose from his seat and
yelled like the great Stentor Of ancient
times:
Don't be overcome, but go at it,
Tom.'
