BEDROOM SUITS:

In oak or birch are selected
by people whose tastes run to
the refined and elegant. For
room decoration as we'll as for
service there is "a certain ele-
gance and richness about these
woods not found in any other,
and yet the prices are not what
you would imagine them to be.
Birch sets with dressing cases
having cheval plate mirrors
are preferred by ladies, because
the long glass allows them a
view of the full figure. The
old fashioned large square glass
is quite as fashionable and as
much in demand because the
bureaus to which they are at
tached give larger space for
clothing.
We have them in all styles
and in modern designs.
Price from $25 to $50.

CHIFFOUIERS::

In these days when ladies
require many changes of cloth
ing, or where the family house
hold is made mp of many little
ones, there is a demand for
space in which to put things
away. The bureau drawers
are crowded and few houses in
Honolulu are provided with
necessary closets. A Chitfo-
nier, then, is necessary in
every home where storeroom
is scarce.
These are made nowadays
for the use of gentlemen as
we'll as ladies, and the designs
for one are quite as pretty as
for another; some have a drop
lid which unfolds to the gaze
a regular recepticle for pens,
ink, paper and other articles
of stationary,
Birch and oak are the ruling
woods and the price depends
upon the size-from $l4 to
$27.50.

DINING TABLES

Each an original in design;
none are copies. All the best
styles from Greek to modern
times are represented. Those
intended for large rooms are
heavy and solidly carved.
Others have more lightness
and grace; less elegance.
AS to price. Hand carving
takes time and money; the
more carving on a table the
more it costs us-and you.
Rich wood is expensive, the
larger the table the larger the
price.
In Antique Oak from 81 to
$25.

HILSCHER TO MESSMER.
THE GRAND CHANCELLOR OF
THE MINNESOTA X. OF r.
He Is Anxious for q Reply to
His Last Let
ter.

Grand Chancellor HiIscher. of the
Minnesota knights of Pythias, last night
mailed to Bishop Messmer, at Green
Bay, the following letter, which is self
explanatory:
ST. PAUL, MIMI, Jan. A., 1995.-To
Right Rev. S. q. MeSsmer, Green Bay.
Wis.-Right Reverend Sir: 1t is diff
ficult 10 say which surprises me the
more; your refusal to reply to my letter
respectfully asking you to make good,
or TO withdraw, your charge that the
Knights of Pytlias is an antl-ChristiaD
society; OIL the reason you assign for
your refusal.
The reason advanced by you IN your
published interview is chat you made
these charges i'll general conversation
and not in formal manner. Such a
reason has not the slightest weight, for
the manner of making accusation is
quite immaterlal. The thing TO be con-
sidered is the accusation itself. You
have made specific chargeS-you have
made them through the press for the
American public-agaInst hundreds OF
thousands of your countrymen-charges
OF moSJ serious nature, and now you
confess that you cannot prove them.
For, twist 1t as you may. such is the
obvious and inevitable meaning OF your
refusal to offer any reason for the
sweeping charge publicly made by you.
l leave you, sir, to judge how far this
conduct is consistent with honor and
honesty.
A knight of Pythias. whom you
would call member OF an anti-Chris-
tan organizations, would scorn to make
charges against man, or body of men,
which he is not prepared to prove;
which, as a matter OF fact, cannot be
proven, and which positively lack
any foundation in truth. | AIN, respect
fully yours, j. F. Hills CHER.
Grand Chancellor.

A Man Passing Through Rice's
Park Last Night Is Knocked

A Man Passing Through Rice's
Park Last Night Is Knocked
Senseless.
Last evening. about o'clock, while
passing through Rice'S park, Mr.. Water
Gus discovered a man lying near the
fountain in an unconscious condition,
and bleeding profuSely about the head
A few persons soon appeared upon the
scene, and one of the spectators recog-
nized the injured man as Thomas FitZ-
gibbons. He was soon resuscitated,
and, with the aid of a friend. walked to
his apartments in the Astoria hotel.
Mr. FitZgibbOns, we'll known in st.
Paul as ''Gilhooly," was interviewed
last night at his hotel by several menu
bers of the police and detective depart-
mentS; but, so lar as could bs learned,
it was impossible to identify his assail-
ants.
When struck down by the murder
Gus hand he was Oh his way to the
Metropolitan hotel. At a quarter to
eight he left his hotel, going across the
street to- Mark, Brothers 10 purchase
some tobacco. and then started for the
Metropolitan hotel by way Of Rice's
Park. When seen late last night he
was looking and feeling all right. with
the exception of all ugly cash over his
left eve; and the physicians say that
if he does not catch cold from being ex-
posed to the severe weather he will be
able to be about in day or so. The
intent of the assault is mystery. mas
much as careful examination showed
that "Gilho0ly's" watch aud money had
not been taken; and ths only articles
he missed were plug OF "Newsboy"
tobacco and the photograph given with
same. which were in mis- outside over

THEY WANT HIS VETO.
DIRECTORS OF THE WHITE
BEAR RAILWAY LINE
Ask Mayor Smith to Veto the
Hali-Hour-Se OrdI-
nance.

The st. Paul & White Bear Electric
Railway company is leaving no stone
unturned to save its life. The ordinance

ice from a. IN. until midnight. re-
Gently passed 10y the council, is now
before the mayor Should his honor
sign it, the railway company would be
obliged to cease operating, so its officials
say, for it is already bankrupt, and
efforts to reorganiZe and extend it to
Saltwater are now on foot. ConSe-
quentlY delegation of the officials,
the bondholders and certain prominent
citizens interested in the road called on
Mayor Smith yesterday forenoon, and
urged him to veto the ordinance The
delegation consisted of E. w. Peet.

dent Byllesby, of the railway company;
Attorney Bramhall, its counsel, and
Capt. Castle, Frederick Driscoll, Lane
K. Stone and Walter S. Morton. repre-
senting the town of North st. Paul.
Each one of these gentlemen advanced
reasons why the ordinance should not
be allowed to go into effect. Mr.. Peet,
III behalf OF the b0ndholders, said that
such an ordinance would prevent the
reorganization of the company, brighten
capital, and result disastrously to the
company, as the present earnings were
not equal to the expenses. Attorney
Bramhall repeated his argument before
the board of aldermen, said the Ordi-
nance would increase the loss by cauS-
ing the road to cease operations, and
spoil the plan OF reorganization. Mr..
Bramhall iutimated that the ordinance
Tunrnly of lrNt tO fny0a tho
pany to the wall, with the hope of in
ducing Tom Lowry to buy the road and
convert it into an extension Of his East
Seventh street line. Mr.. Bramhall fur
Their stated that the workmen of the
Wood Harvester WORKS did not patron
iZe the road very well. preferring to
walk and save the Communication fare of
three cents.
Capt. Castle was afraid that if the
road were forced to cease operations
North ST. Paul would be cut off from
civilization, and its inhabitants would
be prevented from coming to st. Paul
to trade. Inasmuch as the road was to
be reorganZed and extended to Still
water, Capt Castle trusted that no ac-
ton would be taken which should rem
der such scheme impossible. MIR.
Driscoll said he was opposed to any
measure that tended to bar out foreign
capital, and Mr.. Morton followed with
similar argument.
When the gentlemen had finished.
Mayor Smith announced that, while he
would not promise to veto the ordi-
nance, he would give it his consideration
during the five days allowed him ill
which to sign or refuse to sign it.

AID. HARE's LOYALTY.
1t Was Shown at the Meeting of
the Aldermen.

1t Was Shown at the Meeting of
the Aldermen.
The board of aldermen held rather
extended session prior to the meeting
of the Joint body. The first matter in
troduced was the assembly resolution
by Mr.. Robb instructing the city clerk
to advertise for bids for city printing.
AS expected, the majority of the alder
men were opposed to this plan. Presi
dent Brady at first decided not to allow
the resolution to go before the
board on the ground that it had not
passed the assembly by a tWO-thlrds
vote, but he subsequently withdrew the
incorrect decision, and the resolution
was debated aud lost by vote of nine
to two. Aid. Markham said he was OPP
posed to awarding the city printing to the
lowest bidders. He believed i'll award
ing it to good daily having general
circulation, and would never vote to
auction Off the contract to the lowest
bidder. Moreover, Aid. Markham con-
tended that i'll case the city advertised
there was no assurance that IL would
get a lower rate than that fixed by law.
He was satisfied that the present rate
was ilOG lOO lllEIi' LIZ hOU4b

Aid. Hare, who saw through the
whole scheme, arose and said: The
Republicans want this resolution killed
because they know that certain Demo-
cratic members Of THIS board are pledged
to vote for Republican paper. Now,
maintain there is only one paper that this
Democratic council has any right to
elect. and that is the st. Paul GLOBE.
1t is the only Democratic paper we
have, and, in all justice, this body is
bound 10 vote for it. | claim to repre-

for the Official organ Of the Democratic
party. the st. Paul GDOBE. | am sure,
however, that if we advertise for bids,
and let the contract to the lowest bid

prompt answer, and there Aid. Hare

The board there transacted some

The aldermen then adjourned until

at 80 the same evening.

Quick Police Work Between the

The st. Paul police are nothing if not
vigilant. Things have come to such
pass that fugitive thief cannot even
reach the heart of the town before he is
pin ched."
Yesterday afternoon the Minneapolis
police notified ST. Paul head quarters
that a man had stolen beaver over
coat of the value OF $500 from MnDe-
apolis citizen, and was on his way to
St. Paul. Word was at once sent to the
Prior avenue station, and the officers
there were furnished with description
of the thief. Sergeant Klein at once
walked over to the interurban tracks
and waited for the Minneapolis car
which contained the suspect. 1t soon
came along. and Sergeant Klein spotted
gentleman wearing beaver coat, ar
rested him and took him over to the
police station. The Minneapolis. police
were notified of the capture, and IN less
than three-quarters of an hour Detect
i've Courtney arrived and took charge
of the man. The latter gave his name
as Philip Kennev. He was Immediately
taken back to Minneapolis. The over
coat was stolen from DR.. O'Brien, of

Edmund IN TROUBLE.
EIAKES AN EFFORT TO TURN
nOWN LIBBEE.
And La Called to Time With
Threats OF Legislative In
fiuence.

Frank E. Edmund, who will be county
treasurer by the grace OF the recent up
heaval, got out his saw buck and saw
yesterday and proceeded to decdpitate
Mag. E. ID. Libby, whom he had slated
as his chief deputy. The major had
been assured the position, and had
made arrangements accordingly, and
given up all aspirations in other direc-
tons, feeling sure that he would be
given place that would be suitable to
his tastes and disposition aud also be
one Tor which he is eminentIy fitted.
But when Edmund thought the matter
over and was told by some of his clans
that it wonld not do to give an Amer
lean such an important place, he made
up his mind to saw his. head off, and
wrote the major a letter to that effect.
The letter was received yesterday after
noon. The major told friend of his
of what had been done, and very suon
the leaders in the Republican party in
the city were appraised of the perfidY of
the man who had gone back Oh his
promise.
As the news spread, such politicians
as Gen. Flower, eX-Gov. McGill. Maj.
Espy, Hon. Eli S. Warner, Senator
Sheehan and other citizens and MEM
bers of the legislature called meet
ing and sent for Mr.. Edmund. That
gentleman was not found until last
night, and was taken to a room in
the Windsor, where the politicians pro-
ceeded to climb all over the coming
county treasurer. MI. Edmund showed
fight at first, and claimed the right to
do as he pleased, claiming that his
bondsmen had suggested one or two
names and he felt obliged to grant their
request. He was told that Maj. Libby's
friends had gone on his bond also in
some instances. The war of words
went on until some of the members of
the legislature went so far as to threaten
to cut down the salaries of his Office to
pittance in case he did not yield. This
modified Edmund to the extent that he
promised to think the matter over until
today. The friends Of Maj Libby will
make another stand today, and feel
sure they will secure his retention in
the office.

Dfs@raceGuI story in Detail.
The common council of the city of
St. Paul, with aDemocratic majority of
two on Joint ballot, met last night and
elected the St. Paul Dispatch city
printer for the year 1895. The st. Paul
GLOBE, the only Democratic daily paper
in tie city and the only paper which
helped to elect the three renegade Dem"
ocrats who voted for a Republican
paper. was turned down. 1t was beaten
on the very first ballot by vote OF II
toS. Then a second ballot was taken,
which resulted in the election OF the st.
Paul Dispatch by precisely the same
YOie-l2 10 s.
This treacherous performance was ac-
complished by the votes of Aldermen
BssA8sN. MAEgTAEk and WOLF.
The whole scheme was cut and dried
week ago: but the result greatly sur
prispd those who thought that these
three aldermen were Democrats. The
question on everybody'S lips immedl-
alelv after the adjournment was, Have
these aldermen changed their politics
or merely switched their votes on this
one question Tor reasons best known to
Ehtmseves?'
