Ross Clarke, who has considerable

The people to be assessed for the
grading of ROndo street from Western

the improvement being made at this
time owing to the impossibility of the
assessment being paid. The opening of
an alley in block 80. while not being OF

asked for. The alley now used is
reached over private property and is
located in the block bounded by Third,

After the banquet the toast list was

was SO near Minneapolis. Mai. w. ID.

TEA SERVERS FROM INDIA.
Yerxa Bros Patrons Enjoying a
Delicious Treat.


MetoO, the Mohammedan, was busy
ing himself making and serving fra
grant, delicious tea, while Puckee Mo-
manned was also buStling around,
washing and wiping dainty cups and
Saucers and furnishing spoons. 1t was
the dinner hour, and Mahtav-Khan had
departed to revictual his inner man. SO
that Metoo, polite and deft of hand, and
Puckee, watchful and smiling, had
about all they could do to brew and
pour the refreshing Indian tea for the
dozens of customers of the YerXa store.
corner Seventh and Cedar, who were
sitting about the many inviting little
tables in the imprOVised tea house. The
tea drinkers comprised men and wom-
Ell, from very young 10 old, and delight
was pictured on every face as the
guests caught the taste and enjoyed the
bouquet of MetOo'S enticing beverage.
From the latter, a very intelligent
native of the East Indies, a GLOBE
man learned that the tea now being
served free to all Gamers at YerXa's is
grown in the foothills of the Himalayas,
or, more properly. in the Dargelin hills.
In some places tea gardens will be
found fifty miles in extent. Formerly
all the tea grown and picked in India
was bought up by British merchants
and shipped to the mother country,
where it brought a very high price. As
the fields have been extended and
methods of growing, picking and curing
have been improved, the price has fallen
and the product has been sold to other
countries than England. MetOo said he
| was one of party of ten brought to the
worlds fair to serve Indian tea as it
should be served in order to make it
known to Americans. OF this party the
MeSsrS. YerXa secured three to intro
duce the tea in st. Paul, they having
| taken the agency for the city. The ma
! tiveS are from Calcutta, aud can speak
| and understand English quite we'll
| They dress in the native costume, white
/ trousers, cloSe-ftting, and white outer
| garment, buttOned, reaching to the
| Fnees. A massive looking but really
light turban caps the costume. which is
nicely set off by a tinsel-covered belt
| about the waist, gold band around the
| turban and gold braid Oh the right arm
Speaking of the custom III his own
| land, one of the tea servers said tea and
| toast is taken at 6 O'Clock in the morn
| ing, at chota haZra or little breakfast,
| then at o'clock for breakfast, and
| again at 4 p. m. for dinner. Coffee is
| only used in the evening, being conSid-
cred too heating. Great care is taken
in the handling of Indian tea, and to
| this care is attributed much of It's splen-
did quality. AT the present time the
best grade, Light of Asia, will retail for
81 a pound; the second, Star of India,
for so cents, and Lalla ROokh for Is
cents. 1t takes much less of India tea,
it is asserted, to make a given quantity
of beverage than of any other leaf which
comes to America. The method of max
ing is simple. A porcelain pot is filled
with hot water, and thus heated 1t is
then emptied, and small portion of the
! tea put in. Boiling water is poured on
