Witty Reply of a Priest.

What diyerting scene was that when a
certain witty Irish priest was invited to a
breakfast by Mr.. c., then in power, to
meet strange gathering of thinkers"
advanced and others, to whom, in his quiet,
but none the less effective, style, he adj
dressed his pleasant rallyings.
vi sudden the great man, with one of
those curious turns to which he is partial.
amid all the laughter became grave and
preternaturally solemn Lowering his
voice into conspiracy tones, as though big
with some coming revelation, he said, mys-
teriously:
Nv hat will you say to this, Father H.
when | tell you that on my last visit to
Italy saw on the door of the Church of St.
Agnes, etc, a table of indulgences, and act
ually saw written up there IA remission of
l,0OOyears of punishment en- payment of one
france"
Every one bent forward to listen. True
there was no apropos, but here the divine
was likely to be ''cornered." With that in
tensity of tone which is characteristic of the
eminent statesman he went on:
Yes, Father H, | saw it with nv
own eyes. A thousand years for single
francl What do you say to that?"
What do say?" said the padre, gavly.
why, l say it was dirt cheapl What more
would you want for your money!"
The roar of laughter at this unexpected
sally may be imagined. -Gentleman's Mag

USELESS MEETING.
The City Attorney Hadn't Seen
the Law.

the Law.
A special meeting Of the conference
committee was held yesterday after
noon. The committee, in passing the
tax budget, had decided to renew $780,
900 worth of school bonds, and use the
money in building new school houses
and additions. In order to renew the
bonds. the corporation attorney at the
time Informed the conference that it
would be necessary to accept the law
passed in 1898 by which cities were
allowed to issue bonds for the payment
of interest and bon ded indebtedness.
Since then the attorney ascertained that
the law allowed bonds to DE issued only
when the debt does not exceed per
cent of the assessed valuation, and that
the proposition would have to be put to
a vote of the people. For this reason
the meeting was called to reconsider the
action taken. it not in the opinion of
the attorney, being deemed advisable to
take such action.
While the matter was under discus
sion, the attention of the city attorney
was called to another law passed in
1898, which allowed any city to issue
bonds to renew ones falling due. the
new issue to run not more than ten
years and draw the same rate of inter-
est as the old ones. This find did away
with the necessity of reconsideration,
and the meeting was adjourned by
Mayor Wright while President KerWln

The Peoples theater Will, Thursday
night, give performance for the bene-
fit of the unemployed of st. Paul, under
the auspices of the citizens relief COM
mite. The names of Mayor Wright, Il,
A. Castle, A. S. Tallmadge and James
Morrow, executive officers of the relief
committee, are printed On the tickets of
admission. There will be no dead
heads on the occasion, and it is safe to
believe that the capacity of the theater
will be strained to accommodate all who
will seek admission.
The theatrical troupe will be assisted
by number of well known citizens.
among whom are Prof. Carman, Miss
Aurella Phillips, one of the finest sing
ers in st. Paul; G. @. Fairchild, Frank
Iyu W. Lee, T. F. Colby and A. S. Will
loughby. The last two are we'll known
singers of the city.
The manager of the theater has do
mated the use of the house, the music
and the services of the stock company.
The Standard Printing company does
the printing free. The theater has been
painted throughout, and looks white
and bright since it has been trans
formed into an excellent family play
house. The draperies and curtain are
new and pretty.
= Tickets are on sale in all the retail
stores of the city and by the committee.
Boxes can be had by applying to May
or Wright. The admission will be 25,
80 and 80 cents.

HOLDS rHEn To raE RACK
Reardon Proposes to Know Who
Is To RIama.

If you want TO make a whitewaslling
report on the matter why of course You
can do So" This was the remark made
by Assemblyman Reardon to TIE mem
bers OF the committee on ways and
means at meeting held yesterday
afternoon. The committee was re-
queSted by a resolution introduced by
Mr.. Reardon some time ago to INQUIRE
as to the reason why Judgment for
$1,000 was obtained against the city in
the United States district court by de-
fault. A suit was brought by ID. A.
Stew TT against the city aud T. l.. Nor
gan to recover the sum mentioned, it
being claimed that Morgan in
the laying of certain pave
ment had infringed on patent held
by Stewart. The first time the matter
was taken up by the committee letter
was read from D. w. LAWYER. the city
attorney at the time tine default judg-
ment was obtained. stating that he
knew very little about the case, it being
customary for his assistant. II. w. Phil
lips, to attend to such matters. Mr..
Phillips. who now holds the same posi-
ton he did under Lawler, when QueS-
toned by the committee, threw the
blame off to j. G. Michael, the second
assistant in the Office at the time. Yes
terday Mr.. Michael sent in a lengthy
communication to the committee, in
which he explained that Mr.. Phillips
had entire charge of the case. and the
only connection he had ever had was
TO act on one occasion as messenger
between Phillips and NJ. d. Mum, who
was the attorney for Morgan. The mat
ter resolved itself down to question Of
fact between Phillips and Michael, and
the committee seemingly did not care to
settle upon the particular one who was
to blame in the matter. This caused
Mr.. Reardon to make the remark above
quoted, and, as he stated Morgan and a
clerk in the office under MIR. Lawler
would give evidence which would con-
vince the committee who was to blame.
the matter was laid over until the next
meeting. At that time the two persons
mentioned will be requested to attend
and give such evidence as they are in
possession of.

He Meetings Yesterday, but Are
Undecided.
The conference between the officials
o? the Northern Pacific and it's en-
ployes, adjourned from Saturday, was
resumed at General Manager Hendricks
Office yesterday forenoon. At the com.
pany's headquarters it was learned that
General Manager Kendrick gave out
the company's ultimatum. He told the
men that he was powerleSs to accede to
their demands; that he could neither
alter, amend nor in any manner change
the new schedule to be substituted for
the old, even though he should person
ally favor their desires. His reasons for
this decision were these: The new
schedule having been ratified by
the United States court, that trib-
unal alone has the authority
to change it. Under the
circumstances, Mr.. Kendrick felt that
all he or any other official could posi-
bly, do would be merely to talk matters
over frankly with the conference COM
mittee and to counsel them that per-
hapS their grievances were not based on
substantial grounds. The general man.
ager explained the condition of the COM
pany's affairs, attempting to make clear
the necessity of the cut in salaries-an
act absolutely necessitated under the
company's present financial status. MIR.
Kendrick tried to convince the men that
their lot is far less unfortunate than
that Of employees OF other lines more
favored than tho NortbarD Doo;6o IT,
the representatives of the press Mr..
Kendrick explained matters yesterday.
He said that the company desired to
use its employees with all due courtesy,
and to fairly consider all their rights.
and that he gave them his reasons for
declining to accede to their demands as
outlined. He advised another confer
ence, at which the schedule, purely on
its merits, be discussed. He felt that
when this was clearly analysed the
mistS OF uncertainty surrounding Ger
tain clauses would be made clear. and
that the men would have nothing TO
fear.
After the talk between the company's
officials and the conference committee
had been held, the latter went into ex-
ecutive session at Labor hall. 1t was
their sincere desire and hope that they
could reach some definite conclusion
among themselves yesterday afternoon
as to whether they would amicably ac
cept the company's ultimatum, dis
perse, and quietly return to their homes

the press committee last night, he in

illusions were reached. but that another
