MORE MONEY IN IT TO LEAVE
But the Northern Pacific Traffic
Manager Satisfied to Remain
Anchored Here.

julie M. Hannaford, traffic mana
ger of the Northern Pacific railroad.
returned home yesterday morning
from New York, where he went a
week ago in response to overtures
from the officials of the recently re-
organized Erie system, who sought
to secure his services in practically
the same position he holds with the
Northern Pacific. AS is known to
the readers of the G O b e, Mr.. Han
naford decided while in New York
not to make any change.
Mr.. Hannaford was seen yester-
day afternoon at his residence on
Portland avenue, but treated the
whole matter as if he considered it
of no special interest to the public.
ut is true" he said, that some
little time ago, even before the Erie
road was taken out of the hands Of
the receiver, a month back, the Off
cials mentioned my name in connec-
ton with some radical changes which
were to be made in the traffic and
operating departments under the re-
organization. There was nothing
definite stated, although the last
time l was in Chicago 1 talked over
the matter with some of the Erie
officers. Recently, in response to an
invitation, 1 went to New York, and
during my stay was made the recip-
lent of a specific proposition.
cit was stated to me that, if I
would accept it, the position of gen.
eral traffic manager-one which at
present does not exist in the COM
pany's list of officials-would be Gre
ated for me, and 1 would be placed
in full charge Of the traffic affairs of
the reorganized road.
II considered the matter for twelve
hours, decided not to leave st. Paul,
and so advised them, and also Mr.,
Kendrick. The compensation which
I was, to receive was larger, but
had no desire to leave here unless
there was to be some material bene-
fit, and I considered that to go East
was moving into a much more eX-
pensive country, and, anyway, L feel

twenty-four years this coming spring
and / assure my. friends that l am
glad to be back. If there is any
cause for qualification on their part
on account of my return, then 1 am
still more pleased. t a.
ST had not planned to say any
thing about this matter to anybody.
but While .IiWas in New York z.ther
Associated Press dispatches from
st. Paul gave the news that 1 was to-
become an Erie. official, which was
rather embarrassing. for the officers
of the road as well as myself.
''At present the traffic affairs of
the reorganized system are in the
hands of Fourth Vice President Coch-

NORTH DAKOTA EDITORS
Return From Their Visit to the
Atlanta Exposition.

4 number of the North Dakota Press
association eXcursionIsis passed
through st. Paul yesterday on their re-
turn from Atlanta. They came North
in a body as far as st. Louis, where
they divided up, some of them stopping
off to visit friends. Others came right
through to st. Paul. They spent the
day at the Merchants hotel and pro-
ceeded west lest night, some going
over the Great Northern and others
over the Northern Pacific.
Their trip was a thoroughly enjoya-
Bile one, although they found the wealth
er at Atlanta chilly and raw. Some
of them said yesterday that they suf-
fered more from Inc cold in the South
than they would iE their own state.
The climate is different, and while ac-
customed to the healthy cold of the
Northwest, they did not like the chilly
weather of the South as they happen
ed to find it there. The excursionists
We're delighted, they say, with the eX-
position, some of the features being
especially attractive. They visited
Nashville, while away, and spent a
pleasant time there, taking in the uni
versities and lunching at the brewery.
They visited Chattanooga, and were
shown over the battlefield of Chica-
mauga, Gov. Evans chaperoning the
party. The governor pointed out many
of the more ATTRACTIVE monuments and
told, them that the monument of the
Second Minnesota was considered the
finest one on the battlefield.
A few. of the party remained in st.
Paul until today.

A. J.aPEGLER'S PLAY.
SIThirty Minutes of Matrimony"
Bought By Emily Bancker.

DdthCASEs
r. Arthur James Pegler's comedy
.'Thirty Minutes Of Matrimony," was
purchased yesterday by Emily Banck-
er, who closed an engagement at the
Metropolitan theater in "Our Flat
Saturday night. This one-act piece
was written by Mr.. Pegler year ago
and it has never been presented eX-
+ cfpt by an amateur company at the
Lyceum theater In Minneapolis, the
occasion being benefit given the we'll.
known tenor w. H. Kerr. Miss Adah
Hawkins, of st. Paul, appeared in the
leading role, and the clever young act
ress made a very decided hit in the
character of Clara Talbot.
Z, The play has never been offered for
sale since that time until Mr.. Pegler
saw Miss Bancker in "Our Flat" and
decided to show her the manuscript.
The result was that Mr.. Ryley, Miss
Bancker's manager, yesterday closed
deal with Mr. Pegler for the play and
ordered a new three-act comedy drama
for Immediate use from the same
writer
By a rather remarkable coincidence
the plot of ''Thirty Minutes of Matri-
mony" affords opportunity for making
that piece a prologue to ''Our Flat"
Mr. Ryley said yesterday that he had
not decided yet whether he would play
it as one of three short plays on AN
Independent bill or use it as a curtain
raiser to the play now being presented.
Mr.. Pegler will go to work at once on
Miss Bancker's new play. Thirty

its first presentation at Livingston,

What the department means by this
order is to give notice that the pres
ence of postmasters and other en-
ployes of the department at Washing
ton advocating the passage of the
many different bills for the benefit of
postmasters, railway mail clerks, and
every other branch of the service.
which come before congress every ses-
sion, has become an abuse which will.
not long be tolerated. The result will
be that hereafter the employees and

influence congressman like other in

TO different organizations of the de-
partments of the service had standing

Mgr. Nugent,s Pictures of Street
Life in England. -7

Mgr. Nugent, whose name is now
pretty well known to the people of st.
Paul, and whose voice has been heard
on several occasions, will give. an In
teresting and populaJ lecture at the
Peoples church on Thursday evening
next. Mgr. Nugent is known pretty
well over the world as the father of
''nobody's children The homeless
and destitute children of the great sea-
port of England, Liverpool, have for
the last thirty years been the special
objects of his care. He has not only
found shelter, food and clothing for
these friendless little wanderers, but
has established industrial homes where
they are trained to some form of labor
or handicraft by which they can earn
their own bread. In the very center of
the city, not five minutes walk from
the London & Northwestern railway
depot, may be seen Father Nugent's
Refuge" a magnificent pile of build
ings, with it's steam printing works.
shoe factory, wire mattress works, ETC.,
with it's 240 inmates, as bright a set OF
lads as could be found. Father Nugent
is a practical man, and believes that
work is not only the best reformatory
power but the best training to pro-
duce useful and self-reliant men. Next
Thursday night he will tell in his own
quiet, humorous, pathetic and effective
way the story Of the struggles of street
children in England to get bit of
bread. The characters which he will
introduce to his audience are drawn
from life; the originals having passed
under his hands. He maintains that
genius and talent abound among this
class of children, as is shown by the
push, energy and invention which they
display in their avocations as street
traders and street artists. a practical
suggestion is set forth as to how these
children's talents must be utilized, in
that they may build up, not destroy,
ali classes, and free, to this entertain
ing monologue at the Peoples church
next Thursday evening.

cynical and selfish. No wonder the
common people heard Him gladly, be-
cause they felt the heart throb of in
finite love.
"But more than this. Jesus was Won

years he showed wonderful spirit.
His clothes, His character. His sin

more than man. Even. His enemies
said He was more than man, although
they claimed He was in league with the
devil. The wonder of His personality
has not decreased; before 1t the world
has stood in awe from that day to this.
The well-nigh universal testimony has
been that He was more than man;
most have gone further than that, and
have acknowledged Him the Son of the

yet the country of that great divid

chief priests empty-handed, declaring,

to hear on whom it had this effect.i
Paul, with all the powers of his intel-f

teachings of his Lord. 1t was not so
much its logic its abstruse metaphy-
sics, it's profundity, as it was its per-
feet and complete adaptability to the
needs of humanity that caused men to
marvel. The great question with the
philosophers and teachers of all ages
has been how to meet the needs of the
human soul, and various have been
the methods advocated and attempted,
but it remained for Jesus to stand
amid a multitude composed cf all

BARS GO UP AGAIN.
Sheep to BE Shut Out of
:. England

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.--If, as re-
ported from London, Great Britain in
tends to prohibit after January the
importation of Ameican sheep, it is
quite probable that there will be Wig
orous protest from this government.
The agricultural department has not as
yet received official notification of the
proposed prohibition, but the subject
has been formally discussed by the
officials.
Four or five years ago this govern
ment, through the representations of
the department of agriculture, succeed
ed in getting the English government
to remove the restriction which re-
quired the killing of American sheep
when they landed at the docks in
Great Britain, and they were then per-
mitted to be taken inland and fed for
killing The industry, which was then
very small, has grown to large proper
tions, the expectations during the fiscal
year 1894 reaching $4,000 head, and in
1895, $4,000 head. The reason given for
lie proposed prohibition is the preva-
lence Of scab disease in the sheep.

Governor-elect Bradley at Frankfort
Tuesday are rapidly nearing compile
ton. 1t is the first chance the Repub-

management for such an affair, and
the indications are that they intend to
do the occasion full justice. The in
auguration of a Republican governor

event to start with, and the prepara-l

keeping with the Importance Of the
occasion. The parade will, of course,

Dead Ants, Heads Put to Use.

One curious fact about an ant is that
the grip of it's jaws or mandibles is
retained for hours, or even days, after
death. Knowing this fact has enabled
the Indians of Brazil to put the heads

gerry. The sides of wound are drawn
together and the necessary number of

Insects head is pinched off and left
clinging to the severed skin, which they
