bic-in one state, SO that tho interests
Of none of them could be injured by
conflicting legislation and all might be
treated from the same basis.
Should the new state, which would
be the forty-fifth of the Union, be con
sidered at all it would have the addi-
tional advantage, the captain thinks, of
solving the difficulties of long standing
between Duluth and Superior, for, both
cities being i'll the same state, their in
tercsts would be in tho main almost
identical. At least there would be no
state limo to vex and complicate their
reL,tioNs.
Duluth and the northern part of Min
ncsota havc no interests i'll colnElo with
the rest of tho state. Wisconsin, it cal
t%ruthfully be said, bears the same rela-
ton toward Superior and the northern
portion of tho state, and as for the up
per peninsula it is not, either from q
commercial or geographical point Of
view, u part of the state CT Michigan.
The new state would be one Of the
richest i'll wealth i'll tho Union. 1t
would have more than 500 miles CT
water front and contain 1.-THE head OF
the lakes" harbor, which is the gate
way for tho trade and commerce of the
entire northwestern country. "Supe-
rior," or 1.-THE Mineral State" would at
once become Of the greatest states Of
the Union, it is firmly believed by its
advocates.
Agitation Of the subject will begin
Immediately throughout the three COM
monwcalths involved, and the represent
ativcs i'll tho several legislatures who
come from the territory Immediately
involved will after their adhesion is Sc
cured begin making political combina-
lions i'll order to effect their purpose.
The new state would be strongly Re-
publican, u qualification which would
secure it Il respectful hearing from the
present congress. Chicago Timcs-Her-

American Boots In England

Exporting American boots to England
is an achievement to be proud of. But
it is an accomplished fact. The labor
cost in American boots is less than in
England, though the per diem earnings
of the American workman are larger
than those of his English brother. The
American superiority in bootmaking is
only the %forerunner Of much more that
is coming.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

WILL SUE Far DAN g ES.
Mr.. Reiztnsieiu Wants $4,000 From the
T. ecr re Railway COMPANY.

Mr.. S. J. ReiZenstein, who travels from
this city for the National Cedar Works
will institute a suit to-day through his
counsel, Judge II. w. Fldurnoy. against
the Richraond Railway and Electric Com
pany foI 5000 damages, for having him
arrested and carried before the Police
Court SOME time ago.
The cause of the suit is as follows:
On January 2ith last, Mr.. Reizenstein.
who had a transfer from the Main-street
car-ine to the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES line.
left the car at Seventh and Main streets
and walked down Seventh street to the
corner OF Cary where he boarded the
car when 1t overlook him.
The conductor refused to honor the
transfer ticket, which. as a rule printed
on the slip says, "only good on next car
at point of transfer in direction punchecA
Mr.. Reizensten. maintaining that his
unused transfer was perfectly good, re-
fused to get off the car or pay his fare.
and the conductor refused TO move
the car. A policeman was sent for, and
officer BEDFORD responded. but he could
not interfere in the case without a war
rant. He suggested that the conductor
put the man off the car, and If any re-
sistance was offered he would arrest
them both This was not done, and after
considerable delay and the blockadng OF
several cars superintendent Selden de-
cided to swear out the warrant and or
dered the cars to go ahead.
Mr.. 4.eizenstein refused to pay an adj
ditional fare, and went on to Manchester.
A day or two afterwards when he was
out OF the city, Superintendent Selden
swore out a warrant for his arrest,
charging him with trespassing on a car
OF the Richmond Railway and Electric
CompanV 1t was stated at the time that
the warrant was sworn out for the pur-
pose OF making a test case of the af-
fair.
About n fortnight afterwards, when
Mr. Reizenstein returned to the city, he
was arrested. His case was finally set
for a hearing i'm the Police Court for
February 7th. on that day the electric
company withdrew the warrant, and the
case was dismissed by Justice Crntch-
field. Mr. Rizenstein will now bring suit
for damages, as above stated.

Old Boreas and HENS and all the other
terrible winter gods have done US one
good turn. at least. They have given us
good skating. In fact, they have rather
overdone the matter. 1t Is all very well
to have Zee in ponds and lakes which
serve no other purpose than to furnish
the public with pleasure and amusement.
But when IL comes to freezing up all
the waterways so that boats have TO be

and his friends need squelching.
However, we who skate are willing to

Swimming across the lovely. smooth,
CLASSY ice that is their handiwork. The
elite Of Paris and New York can have a
little pond specially frozen for them
when they want 10 skate, and that Is
very nice but ordinary people are de-
pendent upon the state OF the weather
for their ice.
Some of thg, costumes which dot the
ponds and str inns are very brilliant and
very pretty. They are made with refer
ence to the use to which they are TO be
put. of course. The skirts are just wide
enough, without being bungling, and
everything which would futter and flop in
the wind is avoided. l have seen some
very pretty Scotch plaid costumes and
they strike me as particularly appr0-
pirate. The above costume. with it's two
bands of fur around the bottom and its
close girdle, is very good one Tor
