"This poor OLD body can't stand very
much, and 1 can hardly get around"
The old gentleman sat down and looked
inquiringly at the GLOBE man. and when
asked IL he was not the same Joseph
MOntour that came to st. Paul in early
days, and had owned blacksmith shop
Oh Robert street. he answered readily:
II am the same one. Well. 1 don't

Three Rivers, Canada. in 1909. l went

those were good old days."

Partial Solution of the Watertown
Mystery.

Mystery.
WATERFOWL, S. d., March 3.-On
Wednesday. Feb. Z, John GuStofsen,
laborer, was engaged in cleaning the
rooms in the Mellette block formerly
occupied by the United States land
Office, and the adjoining hallway. While
at work he found in closet under the
stairs leading to the Masonic hall. in
the third story, sum of money, which
he gave into the keeDing of Gov.
Mellette. In this package there was
about $500. but further search brought
up two other packages, and a total of
sl,674.55. From the wlappings and
other identifying words there could he
no doubt that it was the money recently
stolen from the land Office. Land Off.
GERS Sheafe ond Hauten and two or
three other friends were taken into con-
fidence, and watch was set over the
closet from that hour. and has been
continued constantly since, but without
developments. Not soul has since
approached the place. The finding of
the money eXplodes the much exploited
theory that it was taken by an expert
foreign safe-tapper, and taken from the
city. When eX-Receiver Carpenter
turned over the Office to his successor
his books showed the funds Sl,672. As
short. The money found Is S2.1O in
excess of that amount.

HAMM MATTER LAID OVER.
Electric Wire Ordinance Also
Laid Over.

Laid Over.
The committee on streets from the
board of aldermen yesterday took up
the ordinance introduced by Aid. Zim-
norman repeating one passed in June,
1890. allowing Theodore Hamm to lay
and operate spur track over Fauquier
and Reaney streets to his brewery. NJ.
d. Mum appeared for Hamm, and
asked that the matter be laid over until
the next meeting. The brewing firm.
he said, had gone to the expense of
$4,000 in putting up new buildings,
and the improvements would be prac-
tically useless in case the track was
taken up.
Owen Morris, representing a number
of property owners and residents, said
that the supreme court had passed on
the matter, and in recent decision had
stated that the council had no right to
grant private person the right to lay
track on the public street. The council
had passed the ordinance and should
now repeal it. Mr.. Mum said if the
supreme court had held as stated by Mr..
Morris there was no need of the council
taking any action; as a body it could
not be expected to fight Mr.. Morris law
suits. He asked that the matter go over
for two weeks owing to the absence
from the city of William Hamm, one of
the members of the firm. This was
agreed to by the committee. 1t is said
that the approaching election and the
desire Of certain ward politician to
make little capital is the reason the
matter is pushed at this time.
The ordinance introduced by Aid.
Zimmerman. allowing the East Side
Electric company to use all the streets
In the city for the purpose of stringing
wires and erecting poles, was laid over
two weeks. The company now have the
right by ordinance for the First and
Second wards, but, as Aid. Zimmerman
explained. wanted to come down town.
The ordinance of the st. Paul Gas COM
pany, asking for the same privilege,
will be considered at the same time the
East Side one is.
The matter of replacing 125 gasoline
lamps with gas lamps was also laid over
two weeks. Aid. zimmerman objected
to the replacement because it prevented
the relocation of the gasoline lamps put
out of service. The expense would be,
he. said. about 50, 400 more than the cost
of the gasoline lamps. Aid. Copeland
thought the Second ward alderman was
acting In very dog-in-the-manger
style, but said he had 10 objection to
the matter going over.

in the house this afternoon. Objection
to consideration was raised by Upde-
GRAFT, of Iowa, ia the interest of the
Commercial Bridge company, and at the
request of its attorney, w. w. Dudley.
There is great Indignation on both sides
of the house. Dudley's clerk. former

conversation with Updegratf, was de-
nounced by Haugen, in unmeasured
terms, as lobbyist, and for violating
his privilege on the floor. This will
probably lead to his expulsion.

A Marvellous Yankee Invention.

Among the innumerable exhibits in
the Manufacturers building at the
Worlds Fair there was one OF such
unique design that, even in that wilder
ness of interesting things. it attracted
much attention. 1t consisted of two
wax figures, the one girl. sitting, and
the other man, standing upon q sim
pie platform. The man was leaning
toward the girl as though he were eX-
planning to her the design of small
crescent-shaped piece of rubber cloth
which he held in his hand. More life
like figures than these were never seen
IN Mme. Iussaud'S or any other exhibit
ton OF wax works in the world. Many
people approached this group and
looked into the mars face, wondering
why he stood silent. When they dis
covered their error they bit their lips
and moved away, only to return in Il
little while to see what those wax fig
ures meant. The figure of the man bore
the countenance of Jared Ii. Garfield,
the inventor OF the famous Garfield seam
less dress shield. The other represented
one of the prettiest girls in Bridgeport.
Conn.-an emplOye of the factory at
which these shields are now made by
the miilion-whom he was instructing
how to make the article.
itself is too we'll known to need descrip-
ton. Of the steady growth and the
present enormous business of the COM
Dany that manufactures them, however,
the public knows but little. When the
Garfield Rubber Company was organ
lied in 1882, its capital was $4,000, and
its plant consisted OF one small building
and few machines. Today, although
the capital has been increased only to
S250.000. with surplus of another quar-
ter of n million, the company manu-.
factures over 100000 pairs OF dress
shields every year, transacting all an
nual business of over S1,000,0 900. and
having head Offices in New York, Lon
don and Paris.
MIR. Radcliffe Hicks, the President of
the company, is man Of remarkable
business ability. His success is due,
not more to the elf-recommending arti-
Gle he set out to manufacture, than to
his untiring and ingenious efforts to
make every woman i'll the land give it
at least one trial. In recognition of the
appreciation of these women, which has
built up the industry, MIR. Hicks has
now announced a scheme by which a
few Of them will receive a token of the
company's gratitude. To the three
women who make the best guesseS as to
the NUMBER or shields sold: 1St, in tho
United States; I'd. in Europe. and 3u.in
all the world in 1898, he offers a free
Cook excursion ticket to Europe and re-
turn. Or..if they prefer the money,
they will receive $500, $500 and $500 re-
spectiyely for the best guess in each of
the three classes. All guesses must be
mailed to 70 Warren street, New York,
before April Il, 1894, and the prizes will
be awarded on the 1st of May following.
