somewhat embarrassing. Among those

missing coats is said to have been a
member of the local detective force
The detective claims that he bought
the. garment in a regular manner and
that he had no knowledge that it had
been stolen. The finding of one of the

created considerable of a sensation,

TICKLE HAL REID
Made Defendant in n Divorce Shit in
New York.

Hal Reid, actor and dramatic author,
who is known in st. Paul, has been
made defendant in a divorce suit in
New York. 1t is not Mr.. Reds first
appearance in court. His first wife Sc
cured a divorce from him. He was
also arrested in st. Paul a few years
ago and tried, the prosecuting witness
being a West st. Paul girl.
His present wife is an actress. On
the stage she is known by her maiden
name of Bertha Westbrook. whose
home was in st. Louis. She is said to
be a woman of beauty and refinement.
Mrs. Reid names as correspondent, Miss
Beatrice Winship, daughter Of Mrs w.
j. Clements, of Philadelphia
A Cincinnati dispatch says: Hal Reid
was here about ten days ago on his
way to New York. 1t is said in cir
cles where he is known, that he called
on his first wife, Miss Mae Withers, Of
this city, and that he made overtures
for a reconciliation, declaring that he
would remarry her as soon as his pres
ent wife got a divorce. Thus it turns
out that he was swearing allegiance to
three women at one and the same time"

CHAIRMAN CALDWELL YIELDS A
POINT TO THE ST. PAUL
JOBBERS.
ORIGINAL PLANS TO STAND,
MUCH TO THE CONVENIENCE OF
THE MERCHANTS HERE
ABOUTSs
AS Was, Perhaps, Suggested by the
Shrewd Chicago Mercantile
Princes.

The merchants excursions to the
Twin Cities, as planned by the Twin
City and Northwestern Merchants as
ISOLATION, will be held on the dates set
and announced by this association
, Aug. 16 and II, and % and "a.
B. D. Caldwell, of Chicago, chairman
of the Western Passenger association,
made a flying trip to st. Paul yesterday
to confer with E. A. Young, chairman
of the merchants association, and very
gracefully acceded to the programme
as outlined
Mr.. Caldwell came with a statement
, that the dates as fixed above confiicted
with the original plan, which had set
them for Aug. 14-16 and Sept. As, which
he had supposed would be satisfactory
to all markets.
Mr.: Young explained the inconven-
fence of these dates as both Aug. IA,
and Sept 4 come ON Saturdays, a diff
ffcult day for merchants to get away
from their business, and which would
also compel them to be idle in the
Twin Cities all day Sunday; further
more, the Merchants association has
gone ahead with the issuing Of circu-
lars and invitations. which it would
be almost impossible to change now,
This was all plain to Mr.. Caldwell and
he readily gave assent to the arrange
nents.
This practically gives St. Paul and
Minneapolis the advantage of three
dates for these excursions, Aug. 16
and II and % and "a, and also fair
week, Sept. Gil, with the same re-
duced railroad rate. A very large
crowd is expected on each of these
occasions, and the visitors will make
their headquarters at the Commercial
clubs and rooms Of the jobbers' unions
in the two cities.
1t is the earnest desire of the COM
mittee that all merchants who have
been invited attend; also if any have
been overlooked invitations will gladly
be sent them by writing to E. A.
Young. of st. Paul, or George H.
Partridge, Of Minneapolis.

now the landlord listens to the gold and

sound of the sweet music.
one reason for this is that more tourists

NIGHT LUNCH WAGONS
Still q Source of Trouble to the
Council.

COGnTit.
The Ordinance fixing the license for
lunch wagons which stand on the
street at $50 is to be further cOnsidered
by the council committees. The par
ties who operate the night lunch stands
are willing to pay a license. of $50 per
year rather 4llaah 5 @ortfefed eff the

however, are of the opinion that, under
the recent decision of the supreme
court in the peddlers,, license case, the

Ultimate business. Corporation Attor-
ney Markham has given an opinion TO
the effect that, as the council charges
a license of $75 per year for peddlers
with wagons, the same. rule will appl y
to the night lunch wagons. 1t was
brought out at the meeting on Thurs
day Of the license committee of the
assembly that Chief GoSs was issuing
written and verbal permits to the pro-
prietors of the might lunch wagons.
Assemblynan Reardon thought this a
very peculiar way of doing business
and so stated. It was understood that
even should the ordinance fixing the
license pass the council, 1T will be We
toed by the mayor, as his honor is op-
posed to the principle which taxes d
class of citizens who are trying to
make a living for themselves and their
. families. On the other hand, the res
taurant keepers claim that their trade

shortly after S o'clock and serve meals

have no objection to wagons which

wagons are now regular restaurants

LIKE, THE COMMISSION.
Selection of the Judges Meets with
Approval.

The personnel of the charter commits
sion was discussed generally around
town yesterday, and the concensus of
opinion was that the selections of the
judges were as good as could possibly
have been made. Everybody seemed to
think that the timber was as good as
it was possible to select. The formal
order which Judge Willis is preparing
will probably be filed today and the
commission may be expected to again
meet for organization early next week
One of the Judges said yesterday:
''The list is really better one than we had
hoped to secure. A good fortune apparently
guided OUR choice, for we found that the men,
named on the list represented the community
thoroughly. Every political party is repre-
scented, every shade of social and business life
of the city. After the preliminary talk in
the subject of the commission, we decided that
each one of the six, judges should make his
list of fifteen names. When these lists were
compared it was discovered that eight of the
fifteen names finally selected were on each of
the six lists. This made the work of se.ec-
ton easy, and we quickly fixed upon the other
names. I have little doubt that each man
named will accept the appointment. POSI-
by one or two may decline, but l believe all
will accept"

The growth Of the New York Racket
Store has indeed been wonderful. Its
only few years since the store was
one Of the smallest in the city. By
careful buying and equally careful SELL
ing, watching the public pulse, always
having what the people wanted at liv-
ing price, Messrs. r. L. & B. Bruner
have builded better than they knew,
perhaps, and today have the largest
and most thoroughly known store be-
tween Knoxville and Roanoke, and the
end is not yet. This is sufficient evil
dence of what brains, energy, pluck
and perseverance will do when properly
mixed and applied. They deserve the
success attained and THE COMET, like

is proud of the store and wishes them
many returns of the season in theil
successful career.
