The best and only site is Como park
that portion of the park that is now oc-
cupied by the Workhouse. Its beauty
cannot be surpassed by any site in the
state. Some of our citizens want it To-
Gated near the river, but here are the
beautiful lake and park that offer all
the desired facilities that the law of nat
ure requires for recreation, with its
beautiful skating rink and toboggan
slide. Its railroad facilities cannot be
beaten in any part of the city, besides
Tom LOWry'S proposed interurban line,
by way of Como avenue, Front, McKen-
ty and Langford to ST. Anthony
Park. thence to Minneapolis. This
is the best site for the state at
large, and if there were no Op-
position from our Ramsey county breth
rem through some personal interests,
this would be the site. The city has
donated a custom house site to the gov
ernment, valued at $500. 600; why not
the city donate this beautiful site to the
state for the new capitol building?

Paul workhouSe shows it to be -four

The greatest portion of this has been
charged to the Como park account.
Where is the benefit to the city? This
amount. or nearly all. has been taken
from the honest labor of the city. Why
not have the city purchase farm with
in its limits for the inmates of the work
house. furnish them with farm lmple-
ments, cattle and hogs, and use the prod
ucts of said farm for the support of
our public institutions, which would be
great saving to our taXpaying COM
munity and not lie injurious to the city's
honest labor? The buildings that are
on the proposed capitol site can be used
for all sorts of wild animals (the cages
are all ready DuiN. plso music and art
galleries. Would not that be an honor
to our city and state to have a capitol
building located On such a site, where
its legislative body can enjoy such seen
cry? Como park site is worth the at
tention of every man in the state. 1t
would be all honor to the state and an
ornament to the park. There could be
more said on this subject, but time and
space do not permit it. A CITIZEN.

DORSEY WAS FLY.
He Passed the Watch to a Boy as
He Was Arrested.

J. II. Dorsey. well-dressed negro, is
under arrest at the central station
charged with larceny. Dorsey has been
employed as waiter at the Aberdeen.
Two weeks ago gold watch was missed
from the room of Mrs. Gotzian. The
watch was a valuable one. but aside
from that was highly priced as gift.
Detectives Meyerding aud Heaney in
vestigated the case and picked out
Dorsey as the culplit. He was inter-
viewed by Chief McGinn, but "stood
pat" and denied all knowledge of the
theft. Since then the "lv bobs" have
kept an eye on Dorsey and finally as
certained that the watch had been
paWned at store on Minnesota street.
Somebody put Dorsey on the next day
and lie visited the place and took the
watch out. When arrested by De-
tectiyes McGuiggan and Meyerding, he
passed the watch to bell boy employed
at the Ryan. Much to the officers snr-
prise when he was searched at the sta
tion the watch could not be found.
After deal of hustIing the friend 10
whom he slipped the timepiece was
found, and the watch is now at head
quarters. Dorsey will be arraigned i'll
the police court this morning.

"THE BANKRUPT"

Rendered at the Metropolitan.

The Swedish POETS Drama Well
Rendered at the Metropolitan.
The Swedish poets drama. ''Ein Fal-
lissement," or "a Bankrupt" was pre-
sented at the Metropolitan last evening
to good house, although it was not a
large one, which fact was probably due
to the sudden change of weather which
was experienced early last evening.
The play is exceedingly strong and very
deep, and none but the close listener
and student can fully appreciate some
of the beautiful language and the re-
markable power of dialogue, especially
in the second act. where the scene is
presented between the lawyer and the
bankrupt merchant. which - is as
fine piece Of dramatic work as
the Bollman company has yet
shown itself capable OF. Theodore
Bollman as the merchant prince eer-
tainly plays his master role in this per
formance and not, as is claimed by
some, in ''Dr. Claus" his display OF pas
sion. grief, rem0rse and all kindred
emotions was grand, and the full work
of the entire play rests Oh his shoulders.

band and the patient and dutiful wife

Polishing Wood With Charcoal,

A beautiful process of polishing wood
with charcoal is having run among
the furniture manufacturers of note in
Paris. Only carefully selected woods
are employed Of a close and compact
grain, and these, remarks the Wood
worker. are covered with Il coat of
camphor dissolved in water, and after
wards with another composed chiefly
of sulphate of iron and nutgall; these
two compositions in blending penetrat-
ing the wood, and giving it an indel-
ible tinge, while at the same time they
render it impervious to the attack of in
sects. When sufficiently dry the sur
face Of the wood is rubbed ut first
with hard brush Of couch grass, and
then with charcoal and substances as
light and pliable as possible. ANY hard
grains remaining in the charcoal scratch
the surface instead of rendering It
perfectly smooth. Alternately with the
charcoal the operator rubs the surface
with a flannel soaked in lnseed oil
and essence of turpentine, the fiat por-
lions having just previously been
rubbed with natural stick charcoal, and
indented parts and crevices with char
coal powder. The result of this treat
ment is beautiful color and a perfect
polish.

Needless Training.
AS to the length of time it takes
to get a man in condition. that depends:
some men can get fit in four or five
weeks and others need fuzzy six months
1t is all a question of their physical
condition ut the time they begin to
train. Now. am told that the college
boys at Yale and Harvaai and Column
bia go into training for rowing in the
autumn and train straight through until
the races are rowed in the spring. l do
not think this is ut all necessary unless
the case is exceptional, and eau scarce
~ imagine Il man who would require
that amount of preparation. 1t is just
like the notion that business man liv-
ing in the city and keeping office hours
from say nine in the morning until say
six at night. when he is tired out, is
benefited by attempting to train. I
do not believe it. l believe, of course.
that if he leads regular life and at
tends to matters of hygiene he is better
off than if he did not, but the mere
piling up of big muscles does him no
good, and the proof of it is that as
soon as he stops the artificial exercise
his made muscles dwindle to just their
normal strength.
The growth of the interest in boxing
in this country has been steady, and i'll
view of the popularity at the present
time this quotation anent the Heenan-
Savers fight reads oddly enough: New
err since the gladiatorial exhibitions of
the Corinthians has the noble art Great
