REAL ESTATEAUCTIONS
The REAL ESTATE BOARD DECIDES
TO HAVE TWO SALES A WEEK,
WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY.

First Sale to Occur Next Saturday
at II A. Nj. j. Watson Dis
cusses the Innovation-Hear
ings on Proposed Public I'M
provements Are Postponed by
the Board.
At the regular meeting of the real
estate exchange yesterday it was decd
ed TO hold auction sales of property at
the exchange rooms in the New York
Life building every Wednesday and
Saturday. The first sale will take place
next Saturday at II o'clock in the fore
noon, and choice list of properties
will be offered and sold at bargain
prices. The auction will be conducted
by the real estate exchange, which has
decided to accept deposit certificates
and deposit accounts on any bank in
st. Paul in payment Tor purchases. ALI
property offered for sale at auction will
be posted on the bulletin board of the
exchange before the sale.
Auction sales have been very sue
cessfully conducted by real estate eX-
reason why the st. Paul board should
not meet with success in its new under
taking.
These auction sales" said j. j. Wat
son, a prominent member of the ex-
change, will give the people of st.
Paul an opportunity to make some eX-
celent investments in real estate.
Property can be bought at auction
much cheaper than it can be purchased
otherwise, because the sale is forced.
There never was a better time in the
history of this city to buy real estate.
The present tightness in the money
market makes it necessary for some
people to sacrifice their property for
ready cash, and those who are
fortunate enough to have the
cash are in position to take
advantage of the situation. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that we have now
reached the crisis of the financial
trouble, and that better times will come
speedily. With better times will come
Bill advance in the prices Of real estate,
for the necessity of selling at a sacrifice
will cease. There is no doubt that St.
Paul property will sell at greatly in
creased prices within a short time.
Now is the time to buy; it is not the
time to sell, but some people have to
sell anyway. There is an immense
amount of money locked up in safety
deposit vaults and hidden away in other
places which is not making one cent of
interest, and the people VINO have it
would be wise to take advantage of the
times and put it into real estate at prices
that guarantee big prOfitS.'

when the treasury ran short of 81 and

when the treasury ran short of 81 and
81 bills, there was less than
half the number of bills of
that denomination in circulation, a nd
yet there was no great inconvenience
reported to the treasury. 1t was re-
ported at the treasury department today
that some Of the banks in this city were
sending small bills and silver dollars to
New York for speculative purposes.
This rumor could not be confirmed.
At the treasury department it wa
thought that the situation in New York
was considerably worse than at any
previous time during the week. Today
the subtreasury there paid out over
$4,000 silver in exchange for treasury
notes and silver certificates. A like
amount was paid out on Friday. This,
1t was thought, would certainly embar-
rass the subtreaSury to an even greater
extent,

the Lake Shore railroad, west bound,
jumped sthe track at Lindsay. Ohio,

others more or less seriously injured.
There is no night telegraph Office at
Lindsay and the names of the killed

A BRAND new DETECTIVE.
Falls Into Deputy Sheriff Mersdith's Hands
aud Now He's Sad.

Despite all that has been said and
written about these so.calle detective
agencies scattered all over the country
1t yet seems that they occasionally
find Some gulllble individual who is
willing to pay fee for certificate
which purports to give him privilege
of totiDg a gun. One of these indivi-
duals was found In Austin. His name
Is T. B. Morrow and he halls
from Kyle. Yesterday about
/ o'clock he was ushered
into the presence of Deputy Sheriff
Meredith at the courthouse by MAI
claiming to be an officer. AS soon as
he delivered his prisoner the captoi
left the room
A Rearch revealed a brand new
4l-cslibre Colts, which Morrow
claimed he had . right to carry and
to prove his assertion he drew out q
lot OF papers. One of them was Ger
tificate under date of Oct. 5, 1893 de
claring the bearer to be 8 member for
one year of the National Detective
Bureau of IndiapaE oils, Ind, anO
was signed by Harry @. Webster
superintendent. 1t also bore u great
big gold seal. Under that certificate
he claimed the right to carry gun

Az for the captor of Morrow, Mr.
Meredith is at loss. He says he has
seen the man before but does MOI

his being an officer.
Later it was ascertained that the
Mysterious officer was q man named
Rankin who had been depu'ized as t

GALLANT FRANCIS !.
How He Reconstructed Ancient Buildings
Into the Modern Fontainebleau.

How He Reconstructed Ancient Buildings
Into the Modern Fontainebleau.
The modern Fontainebleau dates
from the gallant knight Grant Francis
/. A giant among his courtiers,
graceful horseman, an expert wrestler,
a dexterous swordsman, Francis was
hailed as the glass of fashion and the
mirror of chivalry, says the Edinburgh
Review. Succeeding to the throne at
moment when the young nobility of
France was wearied of the economies
Of "Le Bon Roi Louis Douze," he en-
joyed the means as well as the oppor-
tunity of indulging his love of lavish
display. Deeply read in chivalric ro-
mances, he had framed to himself an
ideal Of knightly king, and, in the
opinion of his fatterers, he united the
love of glory and highbred courtesy of
Roland with the virtues of the most
constant of lovers, Armadis de Gaule.
1t was Francis and the brilliant
Pleiad of artists whom he gathered
around him who were the true creators
of the modern Fontainebleau. Every
where his salamander appearsupon the
walls, ceiling and woodwork, commem-
Grating the victories of the king-to
whom had yielded the bear of the
Swiss, the eagles of the Germans, the
snake of Milan.
"Ursus atrox, aquil@que leves, ct tortills angus
Cesserunt fiamm@ JAM Salamandra tue"
1t was Francis l. who reconstructed
the ancient buildings and added ten
fold to their extent and decorative
splendor. Vast sums of money were
expended on the palace which he called
''mon Fontainebleau," his beloved
"Cher Moi" and which was now trans
formed from a feudal castle into ia
vraie maison des Rois," to quote the
words of Napoleon l., ia demeure des
siecles."
All the forces which had revolution
lied society were reflected in the
changes effected at Fontainebleau.
Italian influences, grace and refine
ment of manners, reverence for classic
al antiquity-everything, in short, that
inspired the renaissance movement
are imprinted on the style and the form
Of the architecture and the decoration.

OF the public lands committee replied
to criticisms and pointed out that
opposition to the pending bill
came from representatives of
states where citizens could cut timber
without fear of prosecution. At the
conclusion of Mr.. McRae's speech the
bill was considered for amendments.
Before vote could be reached the
morning hour expired and the bill
went over. Mr.. Loud then began his
speech on the McCreary bill to amend
the Geary Chinese law. He described
the evils of Chinese invasion of the
Pacific coast He criticised the ad

He claimed the executive power was
trying to overawe the legislative

Mr.. Bartlett IN Y opposed the bill,

Has Its Good Pointa.

In some villages in Japan robbers
are tried and convicted by ballot.
Whenever robbery is committed the
ruler of the hamlet summons the en-
tire male population and requests
them to write on slip of paper the
name of the person they suspect as
having committed the crime. The one
receiving the largest number of ballots
is declared duly elected" and is ac-
cordingly hung. This system, like all
others, has it's peculiar advantages. II
insures the punishment of somebody
for every crime committed, whereas
under the system in vogue in most civ
ilized countries in nine cases out OF
ten no punishment is inflicted on any
body for the crime. Of course, they
may not elect" the guilty person, but
dispose of some other character equally
as bad. There is much in the system
to commend it to other nations.

THE suLTAN's WATCH.
Story of . Trick Performed by Hermann
Before His Majesty.

Story of q Trick Performed by Hermann
Before His Majesty.
while on board the sultan's yacht
writes Hermann in the North Amer
lean Review, ~ noticed that he had .
magnificent watch, which he consulted
and handled as if it were the apple of
his eye. This, of course, was q good
thing for me, for, since was perform
ing before him personally. it was not
etiquette to take anything from the
audience. asked the sultan to take
out his watch and show it to me, which
he did. | then said: Will your i'm
perial majesty allow me to throw the
watch overboardP
HE laughed at first, but second
afterwards his brow darkened, and he
looked little bit as if he were Of
Tended with me for making the re-
quest.
eft said 1, 4 do not return the
watch to you exactly as you give it to
me, you can put me in irons for the
rest of my life.'
1.-THE sultan looked me in the eye
with piercing glance and then handed
the watch to me. I instantly threw it
into the ripping waves of the Bos-
porus.
THE yacht careened over, for every
individual, from the cabin boy to the
sultan himself, rushed to the side and
looked overheard after the watch.
81 felt that if anything went wrong
with this trick certainly should be
put in irons; but I called for fishing
line, and, instead of showing any
anxiety, at once proceeded to do a lit
tie fishing. Everyone looked at me,
not so much with establishment as with
pure disbelief in my ability to recover
the watch, which was not only one of
the things in the world the sultan
liked, but was worth a great deal
more than any watch I had ever seen.
Fortune favored my fishing, for in
q few minutes drew up sinner on
my hook, and landed it safely on the
deck. brought it before the sultan,
took out my pocketknife, ripped II
open, and presented the watch to his
majesty in its original perfect con-
dition.
"Turks, as rule, are not very
demonstrative, and I found in after
life that to make Turk laugh heartily
is impossible. They smile, look pleased,
and with their daintily-pointed nails
pick their boards; but on this occasion
every Turk, from the sultan and his
blue-blooded pashas to the sailors In
the forecastle, sent up one howl of de-
light"
Mr.. Hermann does not tell how the
trick was done, but that Is his own
affair,
