MINNEAPOLIS,
NOTE AND COMMENT.


made quite reputation at the time,
and has been quoted ever since, by
Springing that story about paying too
much Tor ones whistle. That was all
right. but in these days OF Jay Gould'S.
mining schemes anC building and loan
associations, what one must guard
against is paying too much for some
other fellows whistle. had little eX-
perience few days ago coming from
Chicago.

another man over to the same house.
He was given bread and butter and

pie in addition. He paid 10 cents.

The pacific, Genteelly diplomatic
course OF Mayor William Henry EuStiS
Is commended t. the notice of Chief
Runge. The removals in the police de-
partment are all presentations"
The men who, blind to any sense of
the eternal fitness of things, and partly
to further their own selfish and unscru-
pulOus desires, partly for fun, inSt!gated
Jimmy BIddermaE to foster political
ambitions will. in the light OF recent
events, have much to answer for.
The career of the Minneapolis In
provcmpnt league demonstrates that
WOmen are peculiarly fitted for seats IN
our Legislative bodies. Since last spring
the ladies Of the Minneapolis Improve
ment league have thoroughly discussed
discussed, mind you-the street-clean-
ing problem, the smoke nuisance and
the cigarette habit. Gaily, trippinly,
Saucily, Just like those pleasant fellows
the Misunderstanding have skipped
now to investigating the moral condi
ton of the young women Of Minueap-
oils. Meanwhile, the streets remain as
they were, chimneys continue to dis
charge their streams of blackness, and
the small hoy of the street goes on his
way nsinuatinsly asking: "Gimme the
butt. mSter?'
l his is the kind Of weather that is, in
the language of the real estate dealer
and the general all-around municipal
boomer, Gold. but the atmosphere is so
dry and bracing that you don't notice
it,
If Senator McIIale should ever go to
Duluth after Duluthians have aSsmi-
lated his speech at the ''U'' yesterday,
he will long for even the, by him, much
hated costume of a burlesQuG amazon.
Yesterday afternoon man who stood
all alone on a NicOllet corner was seen
to fall backward as if Strucll by heavy
blow. When picked up, his face was
cut and bleeding. The mystery of his
being struck 10y all invisible hand WAS
cleared away when the man recovered
and explained that a gust of wind had
blown his Weather-Eardened breath in
his face.
Wonde4S will never cease. Bidder
man arrested and thrown in jail for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenSes
and forgery. Ciprico arrested and held
in durance vile for being a suspicious
character. What is the world coming
to. any way?
Chief Runge. of the fire department,
called his captains together the day
after the council meeting and advised
them all to 'shun active politics."
Runge evidently enjoys good joke oc
casionaliy. Perhaps he saw the keen
blade of the sword of Damocles hang
ing over his own head, and. out Of
Christian charity, desired his men to
take warning from his sad fate. Little
Woodward, of the Seventh ward, is also
fearful of monkeying too much with
politics.
1t is claimed by enthusiastic and
patriotic MinneapOitanS that the ply
sicians who neglect to turn in the
records Of births to the health depart
ment, as ordered by the health Ordi-
nance, are in the pay Of Duluth capital
lists, who are DESTROYS Of fOolng the
public as to the tremendous growth of
the city, the assumption being that the
Gently City people are jealous.
Evidently the old time joke that
policemen are everywhere but on their
beats does not apply to the Minneapolis
coppers. Didn't two of them freeze
their noses yesterday, and another one
his fingers?
