A BLUFF AT BONDS
The Park Board Wants Money,
but No Bonded Indebt-
edneSs.
And Thinks q Bluff Would
Work With the City
Banks.

Park Commissioners Wheelock APP!
peared before the committee on parks
of the board of aldermen yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Wneelock said it was
absolutely necessary that some pro-
vision be made for the maintenance of
the parks. He had consulted with the
superintendent of parks. and from that
gentleman had secured an estimate of
the amount it would take to keep up the
breathing places during the year. Fhe
figures given him were So. 900. There
was provision III the charter, Mr..
Wheelock,said, which allowed the coun-
ell after May 10 authorize the issuance
of $4,000 worth of bonds for the i'm
provement and maintenance of parks.
Investigations made by him had re-
suited in the discovery that only half
could be used in one year. He sug-
gested as means Of raising the money
necessary to ruiz the parks for this year
that the council pass a resolution
authorizing the issuance of S25,-
600 worth of bonds. The bonds,
he said, would not be issued,
but with the resolution passed it would
be an easy matter to go to bank and
get the amount advanced. The comp
troller, he said, while recognizing that
the thing would not be legal. had given
the idea as to how the scheme could be
worked. The committee was of the
opinion that the comptroller had better
send i'll communication TO the effect
under his signature. Mr.. Wheeloek
thought the comptroller would not do
this, as it would not be strictly legal.
The members of the committee did not
like the idea of issuing any bonds for
this or any purpose. Mr.. Wheelock
said he was not in favor of issuing
bonds. but thought his plan would work
like charm at any of the banks. Mr..
Montgomery wanted to know where the
money was to come from if no bonds
were issued. Mr.. Nheelock again eX-
planned his plan, which he said would
work all right If the council weuld pass
the resolution authorizing the issuance.
Aid. Warren finally moved that the mat
ter he referred to the comptroller to
draw up the proper resolution ordering
the bonds to be issued, and to present it
to the meeting of the aldermen tonight.
Mr.. Wheeloek said some provision
would have to be made in the next tax
levy for the raising OF sum fer the care
of the parks. The park board had re-
queSted the council to take such steps
before the last levy was made up. but
no attention mad been paid to the mat
te:. At least half mill, he said, should
be placed in the next tax levy for the
use of the park board in this cOnnec-
ton. He promised the committee that
if the bond resolution went through
and the money was obtained from the
banks it would be used in very econ
omical manner. III

not simply because this or that Is
known, but because this knowledge Is
accurately compiled in convenient form,
in confidential custody, where 1t re-
mains for the use of the really charita-
BILE.
Too much stress cannot be laid on the
importance of investigation. The re-
suits III the most innocent appearing
cases are some times startling. The
purpose of Investigation Is to protect
the public from imposition when 1t en-
deay0rS 10 aid. And it is equally the
purpose to learn how that help can be
made most etfectual by discovering
actual suffering, and, if possible, deter
mine how best to alleviate it, and re-
duce and remove the underlyiL- causes.
The relief of present want Is secondary.
and should be incidental to the general
purpose of investigation, which Is To
secure the very best possible future for
the people in question. uplifting them
from their unfortunate condition.
Lifting the Burden.
Rev. Mr.. Crothers being called upon
made very characteristic speech, in
which he explained that associated
charities instead of lifting the burden
from individuals ana doing away With
the kindness of heart that prompted
neighbOrly visiting and sympathetic
advice was intended to help those
charitably inclined to work in an intel
ligent way. The reverend gentleman
gave also an unusual reading of the
parable of the good samaritan, showed
the reverse of the picture and made 1t
tell as an inducement for asSociational
work.
Anderson Dreasm made short re-
port that showed the association in
very satisfactory condition financially.
After the adjournment of the aSso-
ciated charities a meeting OF the COM
mittee for arrangement for the coming
meeting of the state board of charities
was called. There were fifty names OH
this committee. but fourteen were
present. FROM this number three were
selected. Mr.. Hart, DR.. Smith and Dea-
con Wilson. These have in nand the
arrangements for the meeting to be
held in st. Paul the 18th and 18th Of

THIS is DIFFERENT, SEE ?
And the Committee Recommends
the KassYon BILL

Among the claims allowed by the
aldermanic committee yesterday was
one from Moses ID. Kenyon for S13S for
twenty-three days services. Mr. Ken
yon is engaged in examining the books
in the city treasurer's Office for the past
ten years. He has up to date gone over
the books commencing at 1891 as far
back as 1883. There seems to be a slight
conflict as to the time, or rather the
money, to be expended in this search
for political ammunition. The law states
that not more than $500 shall be eX-
pended in any one year for the purpose
of examining books in any of the city
offices. Mr.. Kenyon and the gentlemen
who act as his assistants and drsw $40
per day, however, question this con-
structiOn of the law and claim the mayor
and common council can direct an eX-
animation at any time and that the pro-
vision of the law does not apply to this
kind of examinations. In this they are
backed up by the opinion of City Treas
urer Miller, who says they are under
the direction of the council and can pro-
coed until the examination is completed.
Mr.. Miller's Well-BnOWn ability TO de-
eide points after short talk with the
supreme bench, as represented by the
city comptroller, makes his opinion in
the matter of some consequence. The
committee will report favOrably on the
payment of the claim.

In Republican Caucus Over Re-
apDOrtionInent.
The Republican members of the house
held very exclusive gathering in the
committee room at the. Windsor last
evening. Even the senators were not
allowed to be present us spectators.
The main subject for consideration was
the reapportionment bill. 1t will be
remembered that the house instructed
the committee to return the present APP
pOrtionment with a senator and rep
resentative added to the Duluth district
and Norman and Polk counties given
all additional representative. This,
however, theHennepin delegation would
hot agree to, and consequently the
t.steerlng committee" called a meeting
of the party 10 decide what sort of
compromise could be reached.
The Hennepin men were out in full
force and they made a gallant fight for
their additional representation. The
country members were obstinate, how
ever, and 10 agreement was reached, SO

Railroads and High Water.

Considerable trouble is being expert
enced by the railways on account of the
high water, but advices from tine Great
Northern report that line in excellent
shape. All trains are running OH time.
and traffic of all kindsIs being moved
with dispatch. Reports show that seed
ing has already commenced at some
points. The snow has gone, leaving
the ground in fine condition for the new
crop. A large acreage is insured, and
the farmers will harvest a big crop, not
only of wheat, for other cereals will
receive more attention this year, to the
farmers profit.

American friends of Russian freedom
are not silenced by the PRONUNCIATION of
the treaty with the car. They protest
as earnestly as before against compact
whose political extradition is all on one
side. We have no political crimes ex-
cept at rare intervals. Russian laws turn
hundreds of petty words and actions in
to crimes. From the punishment the
only escape is on forged passports and
the treaty makes that forgery an extra
ditable otfense. KEENAN, asserts that this
provision alone will cover every political
offense known to the severe Russian law.
We have giver Russia's government all
the assistance it asked i'll the suppression
of free speech among millions of men.
In return we get nothing, for we shall
want nothing of that sort The United
States is not now a land of the free and

WaterspOutS at Sea.


Who has not noticed. during a sultry
summer afternoon, the little whirlwind
in the middle of the dusty road, caused
by two hreczes coming down streets
that come together: First there will
be seen column of light dust revolv-
ing upward; next, moving here and
there, it picks up stray bits Of paper
and leaves; then, IS its whirling grows
stronger aud covers more ground, it
add To its strange collection of objects
small sticks and tufts of grass: at last
away it goes, whirling and dancing its
ciin waltz until some inmovable object
nterfcres with its freedom of move
ment, when. like a spoiled child. it
ceases it, wild play, the whirling stops.
and-pouf down come the sticks and
leaves and paper, and the whirlwind is
gone. In the Western States the same
kind of whirlwinds grow To such pro-
portions that through the thickest
woods great tracks are moWn as if cut
by giant scythe. But these big storms
very appropriately receive the more dig
nitird name of tornadoes.
On the ocean, these whrlwinds or
tOrnadocS have, of course. no dust or
trees to toss about in their giant hands.
so they seize upon and suck up the
water AS the only plaything they can
find, and. twisting it into long glitter
lug rope of trembling liquid, lift it up to
the clouds, whence it is soon dispersed
again in the form of rain. when per
forming such antics AS these. the whrl-
wind or tornado is known rs a water
spout.
The ships crew which has so patient
" steered its craft by treacherous rocks.
over dangerous shoals, and through all
kinds of storm and stress at sea. is often
confronted by new and unexpected
dangcr-the waterspout. 1t most often
makes its appearance beneath a black
and lowering sky; but sometimes they
start up mysteriously in clear weather
to move along the oceans rim in queer
fantastic attitudes, looking for ali the
world like captive balloons dancing up
and down, and Juggling at their ropes
nov near the sea, now near the sky.
In the straits of Malacca. and among
the many islands in the China Sea. they
are greatly dreaded by the peaceful
fishermen, who must often pull up
anchor and race for the shore to avoid
the unwclcome approach of these giddy
visitors, who fly hither and yon at their
own sweet will minus rudder or pilot.
| have seen waterspout make for Il
large fleet of rice-junks, and the scatter
ing of the queer-lookiDg craft under
their brown sails and dashing sweeps
looked comically like the flight of a
flock of startled quail.
Sometimes spout can be broken by
the firing of cannon close by; and
then the singular spectacle will often
be presented of the upper half of it
going up into the clouds while the low
er part subsidies into the sea. As most
Chinese itinks carry IA number of guns
and gongs, the waterspout often gets
the worst of it in the uproar that is
certain to sal tie one.-.Juiy 81. Nichoias.

WOinens Clubs.

Women's clubs to-day, in town or in
country, are almost always distinctly
educational in their aims and purposes.
Many clubs lay out courses in plilo-
sophie and historic study which cover Il
wide range of literature, and make I'M
pcrative close and scholarly toll on the
part of those who write papers and
and those who intclligently discuss
them. \ woman's club without II pa
per or papers taking up definite line
of thought or research is very singular
phenomenon. We do hear now and
then, and we rejoice to hear. of girls
clubs, just for fun, for recreation pure
and simple, but the members of these
usually feel shat they ought to apollo
gize for their frivolity.
Americans learn very slowly that
there is nothing wrong in the pursuit
of enjoyment per- Sc. We are IA sober,
reflective, serious people. Our women
are, above everything else, conscient .ous,
even to severity, and they feel quite
mutually that after the social luncheon
or before tea they should in some way
devote themselves either to the improve
ment of their minds or to the ameliora-
ton of certain ills. the reformation of
some abuses, or the assistance and elr-
vation of people who are down-trodden
and oppressed.
