MINNEAPOLIS.
The Crusader Lawyer.

Crusader Purple may insist that the
ordinance intended TO prohibit the con-
Quoting of theatrical and operate per-
formances and concerts in buildings
where liquors are sold is valid, but a
LAWYER knows better. The ordinance in
its present form cannot be construed as
a prohibition upon the individual con-
Quoting the place, without stretching its
meaning. to the prejudice OF the ac-
cused. All lawyers are supposed to
learn that statutes must be construed
strictly, and not distended and amplitied
SO as to cover any man who happens
to he charged with crime.
Mr.. Pu: pie somewhat misrepresents
Judge khott's position, too, when
he would have the public I'M
derstand that the judge finally de-
clared the law constitutional, or valid.
or sufficient TO warrant the conviction
of the proprietor of the ComiQue thea
ter. Judge Elliott simply Overruled
Attorney 'rhian's objection to the COLI
plant under the ordinance, in order to
hear the evidence. 1t was simply a
temporary ruling of the court. Judge
Elliott has not rendered a final decision
as to the effect or scope of the ordinance.
Crusader Purple should have thought of
this When he talked TO the papers.

LONG AND USEFUL CAREER.
Vanderburgh Retires From the
Bench After a Service of Thirty
Four Years

Vanderburgh Retires From the
Bench After Service of Thirty
Four Years.
The long and honorable career of
Judge Charles E. Vanderburgh, of the
supreme court, practically came to a
close last night. 1t is, without excep-
ton, the longest record of judicial serv-
ice in the annals of the state, being
thirty-four years of continuous service.
What makes the fact the more remark
able is that the Office has always been
an elective one. His first election took
place in 1852 while he was under thirty,
and he was the second judge elected to
the district court bench In Minneapolis,
Judge Hamlin. of Sank Rapids, preced-
ing him. The district at that time was
large one. extending TO Little Falls
and st. Cloud on the north and Kandi-
yohi county on the west. There being
but one district judge at that time, it
was necessary to travel over 1900 miles
during the course of the year.
Judge Young was the next Judge on
the district court bench. elected some
time in III or ~, and he was shortly
followed by Judge Lochren. Since
| then the number of judges has increased
to six. While Judge Vanderburgh does
| not expect to return TO the practice of
| law, he will doubtless take up some
| form OF legal study for which his long
ex perience on the bence has peculiarly
flied him.

Men Whose Word Is Good for

The West hotel entertained among its

hold a controlling interest in the pine

river, and who are reputed to be worth
all the way from so, 600, 900 toS75, 900, 900.
The occasion of the segregation of such
a vast aggregation Of talent and wealth
was the annual meeting of the Mlssls-
sippi 81 Rum River Boom company,
which in reality meant that the final
step was made that entitled the Weyer-
hauser syndicate to enter into the pos
session of Its vast domains.
In conversation with a GLOBE report
er Mr.. Young expressed himself as
opposed to the placing of lumber on the
free list. as contemplated by the Wilson
bill, saving that the former reduction CT
81 per 1000 under the Mckinley bill
increased the imports to the extent OF
So. O00, 900, and if the further reduction is
made the interests of the Northwest
! will be very materially affected. Mr.
Carpenter, of the Carpenter
company. who was present, also thought
that any further reduction would lnJure
this section of the country.
In the party were such men as Fred
erick Weyerhauser. the lumber king of
the United States, and W. J.YOung Jr.,
of Clinton, To-. whose father founded
and operated the largest mill i'll the
world.
Among the members of the syndicate
present were the principal, +. Weyer-

PANDEMONIUM.
The Annual Jubilee at the Cham
Der of Commerce.

Der of Commerce.
Once. and only once in year. do the
members of the Minneapolis Board of
Trade throw aside business and give
themselves up to jollity. Some of the
spectators in the galleries yesterday
afternoon were amazed at the sudden
transformation which took place before
their eyes. When the big clock in the
center of the chamber struck 10 lot of
busy men were gathered together in the
pit. Five minutes later the scene of
business had changed to wild pande-
monium. Grain bags of miniature size
flew through the air and several silk
hats suffered in consequence. Some one
threw football into the midst of the
rabble and game was started which
would astound any college graduate.
The rules were unheeded and the ball
was kicked and thrown about the cham
Der amid the yells of the brokers, grain
buyers and Office boys. The close of
the business year was celebrated in
royal style by the Minneapolis grain
men, and numerous crushed mats and
sore heads are the result.

The Successor TO Judge CAVITY
Still Unknown.
No developments tIanspired yester-
day with relation to the district court

stated in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE,
that Gov. Nelson had fully determined
upon who is to succeed Judge Cauty.
The latter presided over his court yes
terday for the last time, and he
will occupy his seat on the SUI
preme bench the first of the year.
All sorts of rumors were af1oat last
night concerning the appointee, and a
we'll defined report had it that Brooks
was to be the lucky man. Another re-
port accredited Judge Mahoney with
beng the fortunate aspirant, while the
Republicans insist it will De H. j.

did nut occur until Tuesday, he should
not take it up until then, and he would
not announce the appointee before

The board of charities and correc-
lions held special meeting yesterday
afternoon in consequence of the largely
increased number of applications for
aid received by the poor department.
The board decided to meet every Tues
day afternoon nceforth, until further
notice. and also authorized Supt. Sny-
der TO employ linguist to assist in
making visitations, as the present force
is inadequate to cover the extensive
held.
The board then adopted resolution
which will effectually remove the con-
trel of the $4,000. voted by the council.
from the hands of the aldermen, all and
singular. This resolution reads:
That all funds now i'll the hands of or
hereafter received by the Superentend
ent of the poor, be forthwith deposited
with the city treasurer to the credit of
the board of charities and corrections,
and that he take, and file proper re-
ceipt therefor, and that proper book
account be kept of all special funds,
showing where and how expended.
The resolution was carried. 1t places
the contingent fund of S2,02S voted by
the council to aid the NEEDY and I'M
employed" to the general fund of the
board of charities and corrections. The
council committee of supervisors of the
poor, recently revived, will. have no
control over the expenditure, but the
request of one alderman, whether a
supervisor or not, will have the same
weight as that of another.
There may be some work in store for
the ''needy'' lawyers when the alder
men realize that they are entirely out
of the scheme, and have simply donated
the board of charities and corrections
$4,000.
The members of the board claim that
the charter gives them absolute and
exclusive control of the expenditure of
city funds for charitable purposes, and
that the board of charities and correc-
tlons was created to supe rsede the SUI
