COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT,
Business to Come Before the
Board of Aldermen.

Board of Aldermen.
Aside from the application on the
part of the Fifth Ward Transfer COM
pany for an ordinance granting the
company another years extension of
time within which to build certain
portion of it's tracks, there is no new
measure of Importance scheduled to
come before the board of aldermen at
its regular meeting tonight. The as
sembly resolution awarding the con-
tract for gasoline lighting to Frank
Mcclellan will be considered, and it is
believed that the board will concur
with the assembly and insist upon a
performance of the contract by Mr..
Mcclellan. Mr.. Mcclellan would like
to be relieved from the contract for the
reason that he made a mistake in his
bid of SO cents per lamp per month,
money if compelled to perform the
contract. On the basis of SO cents per
lamp per month, 1920 lamps would
cost $37, 632 year, Deducting from this
figure the cost of the gasoline, which
at seven cents a gallon, using 500 gal
Ions al day, would amount in a year to
s2O,44O, there is left ST., 1872 to pay for the
labor and other incidentals. This
amount is only $50 less than the balance
remaining on the Seeger contract after
purchasing the same quantity of gaso-
line at five cents a gallon. 1t is gen.
orally understood that the Seeger con-
tract has been profitable.
heamended resolution requiring Nc
Manus & O'Brieu to remove the struc-
ture or building erected by them on
Wabasha street, adjoining the market
house, within thirty days from the
passage of the measure, will probably
occasion more debate, but it is likely to
be adopted.

manner. There was touch of real
ism In the performance, when in the
last act the body Of the disappointed
Haman Is seen swinging from the gall
lows at the rear of the stage. The
principals of the cantata took their
parts effectively, and their perform
ance showed some excellent dramatic,
as we'll as musical, ability. In many
of their solo numbers they were heart
lily encored, and In some cases the
solos were sung again. The cantata
will be repeated this evening, and the
performance will be much smoother
than it was last night, which even
then was noticeably lacking in the
tiresome intervals noticeable in anna
teur performances. After the rendi-
tion of the cantata the ladies Of the
church served refreshments.

A REMARKABLE RECORD.
Everybody In on the Deal and
Money Plenty.

-; Money Plenty.
The most remarkable piano sale per-
haps ON record, began yesterday MORN
ing at 140 and 142 East Sixth street &C.
= O. Rice & Co. s. old store, opposite the
Ryan hoteD, as advertised in the Sun
day papers by Mr.. Fisher, the general
agent of the w. w. Kimball Company,
who has charge of the disposing Of
hundred new Kimball upright pianos
in st. Paul this week, and the immense
number of pianos sold during the day,
and a nasty day at that, demonstrates
clearly ONE very important fact, name
ly, that the cry of "hard times" and
mo money in the country is unwar-
ranted, but, to the contrary, when a
profitable opportunity for investment
presents itself, there is money plenty,
and no real bargains need escape.
Many Of Mr.. Fishers piano sales yes
terday were for all cash, notwith-
standing the fact that the purchasers
could have had easy payments if de-
sired.
The store was perfect jam from
morning till night; Mr.. Fisher being
obliged to go without his dinner, in Or
der to wait on the people, and even
then many had to go away unattended.

o'clock last night, at which time the
store was still crowded with customers.

were several of the most expensive
"Kimballs," including one Of their
worlds fair premium Styles" and
amounting in all to something over
three Thousand dollars. nearly half of
which amount was cash.
AT the rate pianos were sold yester-
day, Mr.. Fisher will have no trouble in
disposing of his hundred pianos this
week, and will be through with the
sale in less than the six days allotted
to it.

kIMBALL GOT 1T.
A Wonderful Diploma.

We publish ON a page of this issue a
remarkable diploma extended by the
Worlds Columbian Exposition to the
w. w. Kimball company, of Chicago.
This diploma is an individual document
applying to the Kimball pianos only.
No firm of piano manufacturers could
ask for greater tribute to the various
qualities Of an instrument than that
which has been accorded by the Worlds
Fair at Chicago, to the w. w. Kimball
conpany's pianos. A careful perusaI
of lit and a more careful study of it
demonstrates that it gives to these in
struments such Communications as
place them far above the average piano
manufactured in the United States
The diploma represents the exact re-
script of the report of the individual
judge as agreed ON by the body of
judges, constituting the official docu-
ment on record. The prophetic vision
of the Musical Courier has been sub
stantiated into living fact, and for
the present we have no more to say

A physician of large practice in st.

haven't any doubt that similar expert
ences could be found in the lives of
every doctor-even the very best men.
Sometimes a man makes a mistake.
He may do it deliberately and he may
feel sure he's doing just right at the
time. The fact is his mind, somehow,
fails to work logically. He commits
the mistake Perhaps his patient dies.
That happens. maybe oftener than
people think. When it's too late the
doctor suddenly realizes that he has
even to himself Why he did it is alb
solutely beyond his comprehension.
But it's done. The patient is buried
and nobody, as general thing, knows
that the doctor has made a mistake.
Yet the doctor wasn't ignorant; he
wasn't stupid; he wasn't lacking in
experience; he had no evil intentions.
He was simply human, and he erred,
as all men must
Nov, this DR.. Farmer is a fine
young fellow. His parents live at
Spring Valley, in this state, and are
much respected. His uncle, Judge J.
Q. Farmer, was on the bench in that
part of the state for years and is
widely known. I understand that DR..
Farmer was considered a bright pupil
at the state university, and that he
passed a good examination when he
was admitted to practice. Now, just
at the beginning of his career, when
he is married to an estimable young
woman, and has settled down to be-
come a useful citizen in an honorable
profession--just now comes this acci-
dent and shocks his family, and his
friends, overwhelms himself, and en-
dangers his position as a physician,
not only in this state, but wherever
the news of this affair may spread to
either at present or in the future. New
ertheless, Farmer has only done what
many doctor does sometimes in his
life. But Farmer is young, without
an established reputation, and, more
than ALL he has been found out"

Kfmball company, piano manufacture
ers, Chicago, is now on exhibition at
40 and 142 East Sixth street &C. o.
Rice & Co.'s old store), where they are
conducting a great manufacturers
cost sale of one hundred or more new
pianos, this week.
The banner Is beautiful work of
art, on sky-blue silk, and about six
feet long by eighteen inches wide,
with heavy gold fringe at the bottom
about seven inches deep. This diploma
was taken by the Kimball plano as
highest award, in competition with
some six hundred or more pianos at
the Worlds Fair, Chicago, and is
therefore priced very highly by the
company as builders. 1t will be on
exhibition at the above store during
all of this week.

An Evenings Fun to Aid the Hi

An entertainment was given last
night at Cretin hall for the benefit of
the ,Hibernian band, which was list
ened to by fair-sized audience. 1t
was. the intention to have held the en-
~tertainment in the hall proper, but
owing to the inclemency Of the night
the audience was small and the en-
'itertainment was given in a school
room. P. M. Morooney presided and
introduced DR.. E. w. Buckley, who
9made short address in behalf of the
band and urged the support of all
present in aiding it to attain a good

Tested the Hxdrnnt.

Chief Jackson, of the fire department,
supervised yesterday noon at st. Peter
and Sixth streets, a test of a double
hydrant patented and made by the
Northwestern Car Wheel COM
ny. The advantage of the hydrant is
that it permits a second engine to make
a connection with the hydrant without
interfering with an engine already con-
nected. The test was satisfactory and
showed the value of such hydrant for
use in the business district.

Cantata Put On by Clever People

by the leading colored musical and
dramatic talent of the city. The per-

enjoyed by an appreciative audience
which would no doubt have been much
larger had the weather been at all
pleasant. The cantata was given un-
der the direction of Rev. and Mrs. B..
S. Jones, who have had much expert
ence in presenting this kind of enter
tainment, and their skil1ful effort was
apparent in the work Of the chorus
which numbered some fifty voices, in
addition to which there was a minor
chorus Of thirty children, so that 1t

To Avoid Accidents.

Hereafter all east-bound cars on the
Selby avenue cable line will stop only
on the west side of Mackubin street, in
stead of the east crossing. This change
is made at the request of the fire de-
partment. A fire engine house is To-
Gated on the southeast corner of Selby
avenue and Mackubin street, and it is
feared that accidents might result if
a street car should be standing in front
of the engine house at the moment an
alarm of fire came in.

CAPITAL COMMISSION
Will Meet Today to Confer With
Cuss Gilbert.

The state capitol commission will
meet in their rooms in the Endicott
building at 10 o'clock this morning.
This is the first meeting of the commis-
sion since the selection of Cass Gilbert
as architect for the new building. MIR.
Gilbert has spent several weeks in the
East examining the more recently con-
structed public buildings, and will
probably suggest some notifications Of
his original plans. 1t is also probable
that the question of materials to be
used in the exterior construction OF the
building will be considered at today's
meeting. 4 delegation from st. Cloud
is expected to urge the use Of Mime

MORE TROUBLE EXPECTED.

CALCUTTA, March 22.-Trouble in Chit ral, or Little Cashgar, on the south slope of Hindoo Koosh, is on the eve of renewal. Umra, khan of Jandol, learning that a British expedition was coming to expel him from the territory which he invaded few months ago, when he defeated the forces of Mehtar of Chitral, recently collected 2000 mules to convey provisions to strong fort, where he intended to fortify himself against the British. In the meantime Shef Afzul, uncle of the rajah of Chitral, who was murdered last winter by his brother, Ameer Ulmulk, captured the town of Chit ral and immediately sent propitiatory of- fering in the shape of treasure to Umra,s hoping by this token of friendship to avert further attacks from that chief. The ChitraI troops recognize Sher Afzu! as their ruler in preference to Ameer Uimulk, who proclaimed himself rsjah.

HOW IT HAPPENED.
United States Minister Baker to Costa
 Rica Tells How Garza and His Companions Met Their Deaths.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Lewis Baker, United States minister at San Jose, Costa Rioa, has sent to the state department the first detailed account of the deaJh of Cata- rino Garza, the notorious Mexican revolu- tionist and outlaw, who was killed in an attempt to capture the military barracks at Bocas Del Toro, Colombia, on the 9th in- stant.
 Mir. Baker says Garza for some time past gently left Limon for San Juan del Norte, Nicaragua. At that place he gathered around him thirty men, chiefly Colom bian exiles, and secured money and a small quantity of arms. sailing craft was chartered and the party embarked on March 9, landing the day following at Ca huita, Costa Rica, thirty.fve miles south of Port Limon. They took quarters with an American named Reynolds, and awaited the arrival of the expected Colombian ex- iles from the interior.
 In this, however, he was disappointed, as the Costa Rica government immediately stopped communication with Port Cahuita and dispatched body of soldiers by land 10 capture the revoiutionists, the minister of war himself going as far as Limon. On proach of the Costa Rican troops and with sixty troops embarked in two small crafts for Bocas del Toro. Upon arriving there the party at once attacked the barracks, but was defeated. Garza and eleven fol- lowers, Including Dr. Pereira Castro, second in command, and General Moreira were killed. The remainder of the party were taken prisoners by the Colombian au- thorities.

THREE BABY LIONS
Added to the Circus at the Winter Quarters-One of Them Dies.
 Other Animals Arrive.

Something happened in Birmingham late Thursday night that has never hap pened here before. Three cubs were born to lioness. When the employees of Sands & Astley's circus awoke yesterday morning they learned with pleasant surprise that three baby lions had been added to the large number of animals belonging to the circus.
 One of them, however, lived only short while and then died. The other two seem in perfect health and look as innocent as lambs. They have large heads and their hair is very much the color of that of thei mother, light brown. A great many peo- pie went out yesterday to see these two lit- tie pets, and really they are interesting. They are about the size of large house cat, although their heads are much larger. This Is seldom occurrence among lions in captivity.
 AS soon as they are born the trainer has to take them away from their motheF-to to keep them from being destroyed. When running wild lioness protects her young and cares for them with the utmost tender ness, but in captivity they always try to destroy them by biting of their heads. They are then fed on milk until about to 10 months old, when they are turned loose among the others in cages, and have dis positions like kittens.
 Besides the arrival of these cubs, a spe- cial train of animals from the Adam Fore paugh circus arrived yesterday morning, the purchase of which was announced in the AGE-HERALD, and the unloading of these was witnessed by several hundred people.
 Among the lot were three large elephants, a beautiful zebra and several dens of other interesting animals. The circus now has splendid menagerie, and one that has ami nials from almost all quarters of the globe.
 Rehearsais of the performance are going on daily, and every member of the aggre- gation is getting in trim for the opening days, which will be April 2 aud 8.
 Next winter Sands & Astley will return to Birmingham to winter, and iu fact the circus will be with us every winter from now on.
