ELECTRIC WIRE INSPECTOR.
Ordinance to Provide One to Be In
troduced Soon.

An ordinance will probably be intro
duced in the council very shortly pro-
V1d1ng for carrying out the recommen-
datlons suggested at the recent meet
Ing of the Commercial club for the ap-
pointment of an inspector Of electric
wiring wherever electricity is being
used In buildings The fact that it is
impossible to create any new Office I'M
der the charter necessitates another
plan, which is in force in other cities,
and that is Of having a man detailed
or appointed by the chief of the fire
department to do the work. His salary
will be paid out Of the fees paid by the
owners of buildings inspected, so that
the cost Of wire inspector does not
fall on the taxpayers, but will be paid
by those who will, it Is expected, be
benefited by having safe wiring done
in their establishments, thus reducing
the liability Of fire and it's attendant
losses. An ordinance providing for the
collection Of these fees and their pay
ment into the fire department fund
Is all that is necessary before the chief
OF the fire department shall select an
electrician to go ahead with the work
1T is most peculiar thing" said
Inspector Lancaster, of the board Of
fire underwriters yesterday, that St.
Paul has been without an inspector
as long as it has. The people have al
ways insisted on having a first-class
fire department to handle fires when
they occur, but have failed to take
such action as will lessen their occur
renee, which is certainly more to be
desired than anything else"

FIRE INSURANCE. PREMIUMS.
st. Paul Companies Had Prosper.
Gus Year In 1898.

The receipts of the fire insurance COM
panies doing business in ST. Paul for
the year 1895 have just been compiled
and show the total amount to have been
STA, 1854, while the receipts for 1894
amounted to 1874, S43.5S.
The fire losses for the year, estimated
on few fires of recent date, on which
the adjustments have not been made
or have not been reported, are $500, 900.
This does not include all of the losses,
because there have been losses on risks
outside of the city which are not figured
in the estimate given. On the whole, it
will be seen that the year has been a
good one for the insurance companies,
and, with the expenses deducted, 1t
would seem to leave a profit Of SO per
cent at least, Of the amount of prem
iums paid.
Six insurance companies We're yes
terday relicensed by the state insurance
department, the Fidelity and Deposit
company, Of Maryland; the Phoenix In
surance company, of Hartford; the
Equitable Fire and Marine, of Proyi-
dence; the United States Life, of New
York; the Westminster Fire, of New
York, and the American, of Newark.
Each filed it's statements of business
done in the state during the last year,
and some interesting figures as to the
profit made off st. Paul business are
shown by the reports of the five fire in
surance companies. In no case did the
losses in this city for the year approach
the amount of premiums received close
ly, and the total shows an increase of
60 per cent in premiums paid over losses.
The five companies received S36, 563. AZ
and paid out $23, 426.43.

BUTTER AND CHEESE.
Classes Studying Them Thoroughly
at the State Farm.

Some very interesting work is being
done in the factorymen's course at
the state experimental farm, ninety
parts of the state being in attendance
One of the most important features Of
the work is the scoring Of butter, each
factory man being given a card on
which he registers his opinion of the
butter which comes to his hand for
judgment. The scale is 100 points for
perfection, As points for flavor, 80 for
grain, Is for color and 10 for salt
When all the men have marked the
butter the samples are sent to a lead
ing city commission man, who marks
it in his judgment, and the samples
are then returned so that the student
can see how his judgment compares
with that Of the butter expert. The
class uses about $50 gallons of milk
daily in this work, most of it coming
from the southern part of the state.
In the morning the dairy products are
judged, and in the afternoon the class
takes up the making of cheddar
ton of milk by the centrifugal proc
ess, ripening OF cream, running of power
churns, butter working, and other
practical operations There is also a
course of practical work in the engine
room, with lectures on dairy hus-
bandry and chemistry, bacteria, for
age and pastures, diseases of the dairy
COW, bookkeeping, erection of build
ings, silo and stable conveniences, and
practical engineering.

HOME PRODUCT EXPO
To Be Held in ST. Paul During the
Carnival.

An important attraction during the
carnival season will be the home pro-
duct exposition, which is to open on
Monday, Jan. 81, and continue the en-
tire week. AS indicated by the title, 1t
will be devoted exclusively to display
ing goods manufactured in st. Paul, it
being the purpose of the promoters to
advance, in a most practical way, the
cause of patronizing home industries.
The general management of this exposi-
ton is in the hands of Charles c. Fair
child, whose energy and ability are
guaranty of its complete success.
1T is proposed to show the people Of
st. Paul." said Mr.. Fairchild to the
G o e yesterday, that the factories
OF their own city turn out goods of the
very best grade, and that there are
reasons other than the sentimental why
they should always call for homemade
articles when making purchases. Great
progress has been made, particularly in
late years, in the development of the
manufacturing industries of this city.
The total value Of the product of the
factories Of st. Paul was only s25 900, 900
in 1885, while the total for last year was
nearly $150,000000. II the manufacture
ers of ST Paul were given the full pat
ronage of their fellow citizens, as they
deserve, a continued and rapid growth
in their business would be assured.
Nothing can be 50 vital to the welfare
of community as the growth of its
manufacturing institutions, in which
the number of people employed and the
amount of wages paid increase with the
growth of business. That the further
development of the manufacturing in
terests Of st. Paul assures increased
prosperity for the community, as a
whole, admits Of no argument, and
nothing can be more potent in the adj
vancement of this development than
the patronage of home industry by our
own people. To demonstrate that ST.
Paul manufacturers deserve the patron
age Of the people on the merits of their
products, and to incidentally bring to
the attention of the public the import
ance of fostering home institutions, the
home product exposition was designed"
The exposition will be held in the
large room on the Fourth street side of
the Lowry arcade, where there is ample
floor space for an elaborate display.
The hall will be appropriately decorated
and some beautiful and artistic electri-
cal effects are promised. Each exhibit
will have it's special attractive features;
some of the exhibitors will show their
goods in process of manufacture, and
all of the displays will be arranged with
a view to pleasing both the eye and the
mind of the visitor. Among the various
attractive features will be daily con-
certs by one of the largest and best
orchestraS in the city.

committee report denouncing a crema-
tory as a nuisance, and as contri-
vance not needed in st. Paul.
Mr.. Parker replied promptly to this
intimation of inconsistency on his part
He said that while a year ago he OPP
posed crematory, the manner in which
the garbage contract had been man
aged during the past year justified him
in voting for any change.
The discussion closed at this point,
and on motion of Aid. Brady the chair
appointed a committee to wait on the
city officials whose salaries are fixed

willing to accept reduction based on

IMMIGRATION ON THE LIST.
Chamber of Commerce Provides for
Committee.


Committee.
AT the regular weekly meeting Of the
chamber Of commerce yesterday morn
ing Gen J. 3. Sanborn, chairman of
the chambers committee on retrench-
ment, took up the greater portion of
the session in presenting a lengthy
written report of the Investigations
and conclusions reached by the COM
mittee on retrenchment. Cen San
born's report was considerably in the
nature Of an historical review of the
various causes leading to the present
condition Of municipal affairs
Previous to reading the report Gen
Sanborn stated that he would move to
table the matter after 1t had been pre-
scented to the chamber which motion
prevailed at the conclusion of the re-
port.
Notice to amend the bylaws having
been given at the previous meeting of
the chamber, to provide for the ap-
point-nent of a committee on immigra-
ton, such an amendment was adopted
yesterday, and Messrs. Footncr, Jewett
Moore, Conley and Brooks appointed
OH the committee.
The chamber decided to refer all
matters pertaining to the midcontinent
exposition to the state fair committee
e. w. Peet offered the following res
olution:
Resolved, That 1t is the opinion of this
chamber that it is the duty of the city gov
eminent to reduce expenses and taxation in
every way within its power; that as a first
step towards this retrenchment we request
and urge the board of aldermen to adopt the
appropriations agreed upon by conference
committee, and modified by the assembly,
that request and advice the city officers
whose salaries are fixed by the charter to
voluntarily accept a reasonable reduction of
the salaries made by the conference commit
tee and the assembly; that the proposed re-
duction of the compensation of the employees
of the city is only fair and just to all classes
and therefore should not be opposed by any
one.
Resolved, That 1t is against the interests
Of citizens that those who work for the city
in any capacity should receive more pay for
the same labor or do less labor for the same
pay than those working for other employees.
The following was presented by Mr.. Castle:
Resolved, That the committee on streets,
roads and parks be instructed to confer with
the proper city authorities and obtain infor-
nation to the amount and location Of
paving improvements contemplated for the
current year, and to report such information
to the city. Adopted.

still lower prices. The dealers holding
this opinion base their belief upon the
failure of the representatives of the
warning firms ia adjust their differences
at a meeting held in Milwaukee short
time ago. 1t is said, however. that this
meeting was called for an entirely diff
ferent purpose and did not consider the
present rate disagreements, except in
the most informal manner. Just where
the trouble among the coal dealers will
end is perplexing question TO answer,
but the public has one consolatio that
so long as tire fight is on, it will be
materially benefited by the reduced
