WOULDN'T ALLOW MUSIC.
Peculiar Policy Which the Aldermen
Are Pursuing


There is considerable question among
the business men as to where the as
sembly and board of aldermen draw
the line in the matter of privileges
which they allow or deny merchants
Some of them are allowed to string
their signs of one kind or another,
while others are denied the privilege
The other evening Proprietor Elsinger,
of the Golden Rule, asked permission
of the assembly to build a band stand
in front of his place Of business The
assembly granted the request, but the
board of aldermen held it up claiming
it was simply for advertising purposes.
The firm, it is reported, wanted to
erect a stand that would have cost
$3.50, on which twenty-five musicians
would have furnished music each day
and evening, and it is a question
whether it would have been more of
an advertisement for the big store than
it would have been an attraction and
source of pleasure for people on
Seventh street. 1t was claimed that
such a stand as it was proposed to
erect, and which would doubtless have
been prettily decorated, would have
been as artistic as any of the decora-
tons on the street, but because the
firm might seem to be getting some
good as a result of its expenditure
the board of aldermen withheld it's
consent. Once before Mr.. Elsinger
wanted permission to stretch a rope
across the street to allow a tight rope
walker to give an exhibition, but he
was refused the privilege. The next
week a Minneapolis firm asked for
the same permission for the same pur-
poses and got 1t. That is the differ
ence between st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis, and st. PauPs and Minneapolis
governing bodies.

FERRY CUT MET.
Western Roads Recede From the At
titude First Taken.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-Late in the af-
ternoon the arguments of the Great
Western road which favored meeting
the reductions of the lake lines pre-
vailed, and the sentiment Of the meet
ing, which has been against such action
at first, took a decided flop 1t was
decided to adopt the tariffs of the Lake
Michigan Car Ferry company and the
Lake Michigan & Lake Superior COM
pany, although the lake lines charges
were not met on all classes Skipping
the two first two classes, the rail lines
adopted, to apply on carload lots only,
20 cents a hundred as the rate to apply
Oh third-class merchandise, II cents on
fourth, 10 cents on fifth, u cents on
class A, and 10 cents on classes B, c.
and D. The low commodity rates put
in by the lake lines were also adopted.
All rail lines went further. They were
not content to meet the competition of
the lake lines from Chicago alone. Mil
Waukee takes the same rates as Chi
cago on all tariffs, hence the, rates
adopted today will apply also from that
city.
The lake lines bill goods on their
reduced rates only to st. Paul The
all-rail lines decided to include Mime
apolis and Saltwater, the latter being
common point. Furthermore ST.
Louis rates are based five per cent
above the rates applying from Chicago;
hence the Burlington and the NorthS
western will make new schedules to
apply between ST. Louis and st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Saltwater, based on
the reduced rates from Chicago. The
reductions will also affect all shipments
of goods in the classes affected to the
Northwest, for to the greatly reduced
rates to the Twin Cities will be added
only the locals to points beyond. The
trouble, therefore instead of being con-
fined only to shipments from Chicago
to ST. Paul has spread over a wide
territory. The next move probably will
be an application of the rates south
bound.

Would Eat the General.

When Gustavus of Sweden was besieging
Prague boor of extraordinary aspect gained
admittance to his tent and offered, by way of
amusing his majesty, to devour a large hog
in his presence. Old General Konigsmarck,
who was in attendance, at once suggested
that the man with the Gargantuan appetite
should be burned as witch, whereupon the
boor. whose feelings were hurt by this OBJ
servation, exclaimed: IF your majesty will
but make that old gentleman take of his
sword and spurs / will eat him before l be-
gin the pig" This was accompanied by such
a s'hideous expansion of the jaws and mouth
that the general, though he had given his
proofs on many field, turned and fed
incontinently to his tent.

air sufficient to sustain life could not have
possibly been had. We have not only read
these stories, but the majority Of us have
put them down as Mulhatton yarns, which
were written by some one who did not ex-

scientist M. Victor Lagrochek who saws that
he has imprisoned toads in masses of mixed

CARTER FOR FREE COINAGE.
The Republican Ex-Chairman Ready
TO Bolt His Party

Chicago, July 4-Senator Thomas H.
Carter passed through Chicago last night
with his family on his way to Montana.
lis son is sick and Senator Carter Is anx-
ious to get home.
Senator Mantle met his colleague at the
railway station by appointment and they
had a conference about the situation here
Representative Hartman made the state
ment to a Southern Associated Press re-
porter to-day that Senator Carter would
go on the stump for a democratic candi-
date pledged to free coinage. Mr.. Hart
man did not care to speak Of the matters
which were arranged between Messrs
Mantle and Carter last night, but he was
emphatic in saying that Mr.. Carter would
work for democratic free silver nomi-
nee.
He cannot support the gold standard, .
said Mr.. Hartman. He signed a tele-
gram Jointly with Senator Mantle and
myself that will make It impossible for
him TO support the republican candidate.
He will not take part in this convention,
but he is going into the campaign to
stump for the free coinage candidate
The men who are urging Senator Teller
as the nominee OF the convention here
were more emphatic than ever to-day in
their zeal for him. Representative Hart
man made this significant statement to
a Southern Associated Press reporter:
There has been no deviation from the
original plan of the silver men who be-
lieve that Senator Teller should be nomi-
mated here. We formed our policy before
we came and we have adhered and are
adhering to ii, rumor to the contrary not
withstanding. Senator Teller is not a can,
didate in any sence. He has not been a
candidate. He has not asked for sup
port In securing the nomination. He will
not do anything to bring about any SEN
tment in his favor and will keep away
from the convention. But II Senator Tel
| Ter receives the nomination he will accent
l believe that Mr.. Teller will be MONT
mated. There is a great sentiment in his
favor and the desire for him to lead the
silver forces is stronger than most peo-
| pie suppose"

PITTSTON's FATAL PIT.
No One Yet Able to Reach the
COrpses of the Dead Miners.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, July Aust seven
days have passed tonight since the fifty
eight miners and laborers entered the Ill
fated Twin shaft in Pittston. and still no
tidings have been learned of their fate.
The rescuers made very little progress
to-day.
A squeeze of quite large proportions is
reported to have taken place during the
night. In addition TO this the rescuers
have encountered considerable water
which adds very much to the difficulty in
removing the debris. The talk of aban-
doning the work of rescuing has been re-
vived again this evening, but as none Of
the officials could be seen the report could
not be verified. The three mine inspec-
tors appointed by the governor to investi-
gate the cause of the disaster will hold
their first session on Monday night 1t
will be secret. Much dissatisfaction Is
being expressed by the miners over the
session not being an open one.
