Capitol Commission Look over the
Stone There


The capitol commission, accompanied by
secretary Hanson and Architect Cass Gill
bert, started early yesterday morning for
Winona, where they spent the day testing and
examining the light yellow product of the
Winona quarrfes. This stone was named I'm

Being used in the foundation and exposed

strong and durable, would not be rejected.
even If its color effects were those of an
Easter egg. The mechanical testers used
at Winona yesterday would speedily settle the
question Of crushing strength" as the ar
chitects call 1t. The point of durability
would be determined by analogy, by observing
the effects of weather In exposed portions of
the quarry, and by examining walls cor

but 1t has been employed for the piers of
railroad bridges, and has there proven most
satisfactory
The commission may possibly determine to-
day what contractor will prepare a series of
hard places for the big state house to stand
on.
In this connection it has been proposed
that the turning of the first sod be made the
occasion for a notable public ceremony Then
will begin the first work in the actual con-
struction of a building that may not be COM
pleted before ten years-a building that will
cost at least 81 100000, that will afford en-
ployment for many season to large num-
bers of citizens, a building in which every
resident of Minnesota has natural interest,
and which, when completed, will be by far
the most impressive monumental structure
in the Northwest, and one of the most artistic
public buildings in the United States.

WILL SLEEP ELSEWHERE.
St. Anthony Park Firemen VIII
Probably Resign.

The board of fire commissioners at It's
meeting last night, considered the commune
cation from the four men who constitute the
volunteer hose company on duty at the st.
Anthony Park engine house. These gentle
men have notified the fire board that, having
worked for six months at the engine house,
they think that they are entitled to a small
amount of pay for their future services, and
that unless arrangements are made for some
compensation herafter, they will tender their
designations to take effect May 1.
Chief Jackson explained to the board that
the duties of the volunteer firemen consisted
in reporting at the engine house at 9 o'clock
every night and remaining there until p. m.
The chief said that the people Of st. Anthony
did not seem to take much interest in their
volunteer company, and that the four men
constituting it were always wanting to get
off nights, at the very time their presence
was most needed.
Commissioner Kenneth Clark remarked
that he had been informed that the board
could easily find four men in St. Anthony
Park who would willingly consent to sleep
In the engine house every night and thus
save room rent.
Inasmuch as the fire department has no
funds with which to hire extra men, the
matter was referred to the chief with power
to act. AS a result the volunteer company
will doubtless resign. thereby reducing the
lorce 10 the TWO paid hremen on duty at the
engine house.
The board awarded the contract for forty
feet OF suction hose to the Watrous Engine
Works company. whose bid was $3.50 per
foot net. The secretary was instructed to ad-
vert1se for 1000 feet Of Phoenix hose.
The report Of the secretary as to the finan-
cial condition OF the department was in SUBJ
stance as follows: Total amount on hand at
the beginning of the year. SITE, ,9Ss. .13: amount
expended, s6o,O1s19; bills. 81, 1892 80; April pay
roll, S1s s191S4; total expenditures, s74. .6O3. So
This leaves balance on hand of s101, ,334. so
with which to maintain the department from
May L to Dec. 1, 1896.
The April pay roll was passed and bills
amounting to S1.39230 were approved.
The board will meet at D. m. TODAY for
the purpose Of deciding upon a new fire
alarm box which is, to be purchased. The
prices as submitted by the Gamewell Fire
Alarm Telegraph company range from SIPS
box down to SIS.
The secretary was instructed to request the
North American Telegraph company, which
now owns the conduits laid by the National
subway company to place wires in one of
the conduits for the use of the fire DEPART
ment.

CLOSED IiTs SEASON.
Brilliant Concert Given by the Schu-
bert Club.

A gathering of 500 people representative Of
both the musical and social circles of St.
Paul, gathered at Park church last evening
and demonstrated the popularity of the St.
Paul Schubert club, which, as the finale Of
an instructive and enjoyable season, gave a
brilliant concert last evening. to which all
the friends of the club were asked. The
programme was an admirable one, arranged
with artistic taste and the keen enjoyment
its numbers afforded was proved by the ap-
preciative attention and generous applause
accorded each participant.
The first and last numbers were by the
Schubert chorus, under the direction OF Miss
Shave, and little fault could be found with
the work.. Miss Shave Is an able conductor
and the chorus Is evenly balanced and exceed
ingly we'll drilled IN the first number,

lets (BartletD. Ze5
Mrs. Hermann 1Seheffer gave the second
and third numbers, ,Polonaise, op. So (Chopin)
and Scherzo op. 81 Chopin. MRS. Sehener
Is a pianist Of ability, and her rendition OF
the- two numbers last evening was particular
ly brilliant.
Claude Madden saveeselections from Madden
and Greig. The latter was the ever popular
Senate, Op. As Of eGfeig's, Miss Clara Mott
paying the piano part. OF Mr.. Madden there
is little to be said but Of praise. He is one OF
the best, if not the best, violinists OF the Twin
Cities and his work during the past year SHOWS
a steady improvement. The Berceuse and
Mazourka he rendered last evening called
forth prolonged storm Of applause to which
he responded with an encore number.
Mrs. Daniel F. De Wolf followed Mr. Mad
den with "Hear Ye Israeli QMendelssohn).
Mrs. De Wolf has a dramatic voice OF
most peculiar charm, one chief beauty Of her
singing being her exquisitely perfect enuncla-
ton. She did not respond to repeated calls
for an encore. "The Great God Pan," by Miss
Whitridge, was one Of the most delightful
numbers on the programme Miss @hitridge
has a. charming address. She is not in the
slightest degree stacy and Is by no means an
amateur and her words and manner are
free from all trace of affectaion. She was
accompanied on the organ and plano by MRS.
Dorr and Mrs. Colyille. pleasing quartette
number 1.-The Spanish Gypsy GirP' Oassen-
Damrosch) was given by Mrs. De Wolf, MRS.
Thompson, Mrs. Curtiss. Miss Shave. 1t will
be at once recognized that the very best talent
the club affords was called upon for last even
ing's concert. and the result was even more
successful than had been expected. The re-
ception to have been held in connection with
this meeting was not, given. The following
young women of the Club assisted as ushers:
Miss Strong, Miss Brown, Miss Whitacre,
Miss Stewart, Miss Eenzius, Miss Corners,

FUNDS FOR THE G. A. r.
Not All That Is Collected Will Nee
essarily BE Spent.

The G.. A. R. finance committee will soon
begin publishing a list Of those who have
contributed towards the $4,000, or more, re-
quired to make the encampment success.
Not all OF the contributions, however. will
necessarily be spent. At Louisville last year
about s15, 900 of the contributions were un-
expended and were returned to the donors in
proportion to the amount of their subscription.
At Detroit in 1891, more than s27, 900 was
handed back again. But it is hardly likely
that st. Paul can attempt to maintain De-
troits standard of liberality. The Michigan
metropolis gave $4,000 through its city council
towards the encampment fund, while six pri-
vate citizens each subscribed $1,000 each.
Miscellaneous contributions bought the ag-
gregate fund up to a figure much in excess of
S10c, 900. 1t will be said that times were bet
ter in 1891, but at Louisville last fall the
majors laid $4,000 on the plate of the G. A.
r deacon.

HAWTHORNE WAS HUFFY
Upon Finding Himself without a
Client.


Attorney ]. NJ. Hawthorne was excited yes
terday.e Ordinarily Mr.. Hawthorne is a very
cool and self-possessed individual, but yes
terday he discovered that an opportunity to
secure a good fee had been snatched from
him, and who would not be excited under
such conditions, especially in times like
these? 1t all came about in this way: Mr..
Hawthorne was attorney for Minnie M.
Buckeye, in suit to recover damages from
the city railway for personal injuries. When
the case was called for trial in Judge Kel-
ly's court yesterday, Attorney Num- for the
defendant, quietly submitted notice on the
part Of the plaintiff that the case had been
settled. In other words, she had negotiated a
settlement for herself, dissolved partnership
with her counsel, as it were, and left him
hanging in mid air.
Hawthorne wanted to tell the court what
he thought about the attorney for the de-
tense, who had taken this method Of dispos-
Ing of case without the knowledge or con-
sent of the attorney bringing the action, but
the court suggested that if he had any fault
to find with the conduct of the attorney for
the defense, the proper course would be to file
charges and he would hear them. Mr.. Haw-
thorne did not have any charges to file, how
ever but he had wrath 'fto burn" and he
wanted to scorch somebody with the flame.

WILL DISCUSS FORESTRY.
Public Meeting Proposed to Discuss
Needed Laws.

Secretary A. w. Latham, OF the state hortl-
cultural society, has acknowledged proposal
frcm Secretary McGinnis, of the Commercial
club for public meeting in the interests OF
forestry The Commercial club was among
the most prominent factors in securing the
passage, by the last legislature, of laws to
protect the forests of this state. The enact
ments then made have proven effective and
valuable Various additional regulations
have, however, been suggested. that, II fncor-
porated into statutes, will probably prove OF
much advantage to Minnesota5s timber lands.
The Commercial club, therefore. desires to
awaken a public interest in this desirable
revision of the forestry laws. Secretary
Latham, after comforting with Wyman Elliot,
ex-president of the horticultural society, and
with S. NJ. Owens. suggests that the forestry
interests be discussed at the summer meeting
of the horticultural society to be held in June
at the state experimental station, at st.
Anthony Park.
