West Front Street.

Aid. Lille moved that the report Of
the board of public works concerning
the improvement of West Front street
be taken from the table, and this was
carried. The report favors the i'm
provement, but says that the city
would realize but little from the as
sessment, owing to the situation of
the lots. The expense is estimated at
S1,100. The improvement contem-
plated is from Sibley street to the
Blue Earth river bridge.
Aid. Andrews stated that for $3.50
the South Bend road is being covered
with broken stone ten inches thick
and rolled for a distance of 1,15O feet.
He did not favor graveling and would
like to have the board of public works
give estimates on stone.
The board of public works was in
structed to do the work as it had rec
commended.

The Jan Wasn't In IT,

1t has been said that the japanese are
the most skillful manipulators of the
sword in the world. The saying goes
that Jap can draw sword, describe
with it a figure s in the atmosphere and
gracefully decapitate an opponent before
said opponent can bat an eye.
But, as matter Of fact, the Jap with
a sword cannot hold candle to a young
Georgia negro and razor. That was
demonstrated down at Nagasaki recent
ly. A negro sailor from the United
States gunboat Yorktown was ashore
with his "razzer" and jag. He ran
beam on to a jagged Jap and his sword,
but before the Jap's sword had de-
scribed the first circle of the the razor
had got into action and Mr.. Jap was hors
de combat The razor unfortunately
proved fatal.
The black marine was tried before the
United States consul and found guilty
of murder, but his attorney has appealed

FIVE MILLION STAMPS.
Mrs. Edna Garman's Letter Chain Not Yet
Broken.

Mrs. Edna Garmans Letter Chain Not Yet
Broken.
Edna R. Brown Garman Of Kane
vile, Ills, originator of the famous
letter chain system, which was widely
discussed recently in the papers, and
was started by her for the purpose Of
collecting Cancelled postage stamps, still
receives several hundred letters per day,
although the end of the chain was sup
posed to have been reached several
months ago. Recently among the letters
received was one from Henry Clancy Of
San Diego, Cal, inclosing a check for
$500.
Mrs. Brown Garman's letter chain
was started about year ago, her
unique scheme being to secure 1,00O,-
900 Cancelled postage stamps, which she
hoped to sell for enough to pay the ex
pense Of hospital treatment for her
crippled sister law, Matte Garman.
She wrote letters to three friends, who
in turn were to each write to three
more, and so on until the number Of so
was reached. The chain was then re-
quested to stop. Each person receiving
a letter was to send ten Cancelled stamps
to Mrs. Garman.
The results were wonderful For a
month letters poured into the little
Kaneville postoffice at the rate of 1000
day, and Mrs. Garman estimates the
number of stamps received at 5 100000

Front Street Improvement.

The street committee reported fav-
orably upon the petition for the curb
ing and guttering of Front street and
riprapping to grade, between Rock
and Byron streets, except where the
work has already been lately done.
The limits given are little broader
than the petition called for.
President Beatty stated that he
could not guarantee more than seven
blocks this late in the season, as that
is all the stone for curling and gutter
ing that has been gotten out.
The report was accepted without
opposition, the only question being
whether the limit should not be ex-
tended to Marshall street, but it was
decided to leave that part until next
year.
Aid. Bradley thought that the city
should have sidewalk ordinance to
make the manner of laying walks uni
form before the street is curbed and
guttered.
Pres. Beatty wanted to go on record
as opposed to the kind of improve
ment proposed. He wanted to know
what in the name of common sense
the city had purchased fifteen ton
roller for? If it is the idea of the peo-
pie to let the street go for few years
and then pave, the roller is to heavy,
as it was never intended for anything
but matchmaking. He would never
have favored the purchase of the
roller had he not thought that the
street was to be macadamized. The
engineer and council would have tC
! take the responsibility of the pro.
posed improvement.

lNTERClTY TROLLEY LINES.
Baltimore and Washington to Be Connect
ed by an Electric Railroad.

Baltimore and Washington to Be Connect
ed by an Electric Railroad.
1t is an interesting and significant CO.
incidence that the announcement should
be made at almost the same time of the
alliance Of the Baldwin Locomotive
works and the Westinghouse company
to manufacture electric locomotives for
high speed purposes, and of the award
of the contract for the construction of
the Columbia and Maryland Electric
railway, between Washington and Bal
timore, the first trolley line over which
first class express trains will be run.
Heavy masonry bridges are to be con-
structed, and the whole road will be
equipped as substantially as a steam
railroad. The firm is also to build a
branch road from Baltimore to Ellicott
City, Md. distance of about ten miles
The aggregate cost of construction of
both roads will be nearly $3,000,0O0
There are to be two power stations,
one on the Patapsco river and the other
at Laurel, Md. The motors used will
be OF great capacity in order to main
aain high rate of speed.
Widener and Elkins have announced
that it is their intention to make the
road through line between the two
cities and to have it enter into active
competition with the steam roads. Fast
time is to be made by trolley express
trains, and the terminal facilities in
both cities will be ample for heavy
traffic. The site for the Baltimore depot
has been selected in the heart of the
city, midway between the railroad sta
tions.-New York Sen.

TWO DEFEATS.
The LeSueur Club Proves Too Much
for MankatO.

The Mankato ball club suffered two
defeats Saturday and Sunday at the
hands of LeSueur. The score Satur-
day was eight to six in favor of the
strangers, and yesterdays game re-
suited in a victory for them by score
of eleven to four. From the result OF
one or two previous games, many peo-
pie were led to believe that Saturdays
game was given to LeSueur to draw a
big crowd for Sunday, when the Man.
kato club would take it's turn at win
ming.
A big crowd was on hand yesterday,
but it was disappointed if it expected
to see Mankato win, as the strangers
played with home clubs. The Man
kato's were light at the bat and light
all around. The LeSueur club put up
a splendid game, being now one of the
strongest amateur clubs in the state
The next game will be Saturday and
Sunday between the St. Paul Spauld-
ings and the local club in this city.
1t is now assured that the Austin
and Mankato clubs will play at Wells
Aug. Doth.
G. HI. Saulpaugh has resigned as
manager of the club and has been sue
ceeded by G. d. Benack.

The engineer thought that the
roller could be used in preparing the
foundation for paving.
Aid. Lille did not want any cheap
job, but wanted the street fixed up in
good shape. Aid. Zimmerman had
the same idea. Aid. Bradley called
attention to the desire of the prop
erty owners as expressed the previous
Saturday night. Everybody said they
agreed with Aid. Bradley.
Aid. Andrews said that he wished
that the president of the board of
public works could realize that there
are more streets than Front street in
the city, and that there is some little
virtue in paving. There would be
plenty of work for the roller on other
streets. After the expression of the
property owners, the council cannot
60 ahead and macadamize Front street.
Pres. Beatty said that he had been
misled by the engineer and certain
aldermen.
Aid. Bradley moved that the mat
ter be referred to the board of public
works, and this was carried, only Aid.
Adams voting "no."
Aid. Zimmerman moved that the
board of public works advertise for
bids for 5000 feet of stone for curbing,
to be divided among the quarries.
This met with the favor of the board
of public works, and after some dis
cuSsion was carried.
The street committee secured
further time to report on the Clark
street matter.
Pres. Beatty notified the council
that the time for shutting off water
from motors and elevators expired
Aug 18th. The Saulpaugh and the
Young Mems building are the only
large consumers now and both are
making arrangements for another
power. The FREE PRESS and City
Hotel had given up their motors.
Thirty days more time was allowed
before the action is to be put into
effect.
The ordinance committee reported
that it was not yet ready to report the
sidewalk ordinance. Objections be-
ing made at the delay, the ordinance
was reported favorably and the first
reading was passed.
Aid. Andrews stated that he desired
to withdraw the curfew ordinance, as
it did not suit him. Nobody objected,
and it was done.
Engineer Haynes stated that while
the city is in the business he hoped
that it would pass one providing for
the cutting of weeds on vacant lots,
and to prevent the washing of ice on
the sidewalks.
Aid. Zimmerman presented long
list of sidewalks to be condemned and
replaced or built for the first time.
This is list that has been in prepare
tion all summer, and all the aldermen
have had a finger in the pie. 1t was
in the form of resolution and was
unanimously adopted.
Bids for city printing were received
from the FREE PRESS, RevieaO, Post
and Curryer & True. The bids were
referred to the printing committee to
report at the next meeting. The
FREE PRESS bid was away below any
of the others.

VOTING BY ELECTRICITY.
1t Is Likely to Be Adopted In Both House
and Senate at Washington.

If the system of call bells to summon
pages in the house and senate at Wash
ington is successful it is quite likely
that the voting Of members of both bod
les may be done by electricity. The idea
is to have buttons placed in each mem
ber's desk, so that by the pressure OF
finger he can indicate whether he favors,
opposes or declines to vote on any meas
ure The registering board could be in
full view of the house, and votes would
be counted by the machine which regis
tiers them.
This would do away with the tedious
roll calls and save much time, but it
would not be pleasing to those who de-
sire to filibuster against any obnoxious
measure. The house and senate will
finally come to some such scheme, but
not Immediately. Cincinnati CONNER
