THOUGHT HE HEARD BURGLARS.
w. j. Dorian Receives "a Shock and
Shocks n Policeman.

The resident in the vicinity of East
Winnifred street and Bancroft avenue
were given burglar scare yesterday
morning. Shortly before o'clock w.
j. Doran, who resides at 297 East Win
fired street, was aroused from his
slumber by a strange noise which at
once convinced him that there were
burglars in the house. The residence
is lighted with electric lights, and
just at the head of the bed occupied by
Mr.. Doran is a switch, which, by the
turn of a thumb screw, lights the en-
tire house. The lights were imme-
diately turned on and the sudden illu-
mfnation of the residence brought to
the scene policeman, who, according
to the neighbors, keeps a close watch
on the houses in that section of the
city. Mr.. Doran is son of the pres
emit chief executive of the city and
head of the police department, and this
is why there is always policeman
within sight of his home. The officer
hustled to the house, and being hailed
from the upper window by Mr.. Dorar,
was informed that there were burglars
about. A careful search was made Of
the premises, but neither inside nor out
was there any indications of the visits
of any providers.

ST. PAUL FIRMS SUCCESS.
Hennessy & Cox Secure COntrac
From the Government.

From the Government.
ST. Paul people will be glad to learn
that, according to a Washington tele-
gram. the well-known st. Paul firm of
contractors, Hennessy & Cox, has been
awarded the contract for putting in the
interior work on the public building in
Milwaukee. They were the lowest OF
twenty-one bidders, the amount Of
their bid beings $250,9S9. The award was
made yesterday. T."
Hnnessy & Cox came into prominence
long ago as big contractors, some of
the best and most substantial building
done in this lsection of the country
having been completed under their con-
tracts. Such representative structures
as the Ryan hotels the West hotel III
Minneapolis, the New York buildings
and Globe buildings in both cities, the
Spalding hotel in Duluth, are monu-
ments to their skill and enterprise.

among the lowest, and the firm name
was prominently mentioned as likely
to be awarded the job
The firm is now working on the big
annex to the New York Life building
ana the Ryan annex, but these, with
their new work in Milwaukee. will in
no sense interfere with their ambition
to secure the building of the new state

Henry Miller's KipEdonp.

Forty years aGo two Germans form
ed partnership in San Francisco
and began to buy land and raise
cattle. Today the firm of Miller &
Lux owns Il $50, $50 acres of land in
the three states of California, Nevada
and Oregon. Que Of their ranches is
ninety miles long and sixty miles
vice. In fact, these are not ranches
at all. They are more than bG:onies,
greater than the municipalities. They
are Kingdoms. The surviving part
ner Of this firm rules over twice as
much soil as the king Of Belgium, and
ovec as much soil as the king of Ea-
vai'ia. His holdings are larger by a
tb! than che Kingdom Of Denmark;
a'e four time as large as Alsace Lor-
raiDe, over which two great peoples
have fought tremendous wars; are
half as la &c as Eogland; are nearly
twice as largo as the Netherlands;
and a"e one fourth larger than the

COST OF GERMAN COLONIES.


Too High as Compared with Advan-
'"a - 'tnEes Secured. go,
Germany can scarcely be considered
as successful in her efforts to secure
fame as a colonizing power, says the.
New York Tribune. The estimated cost
of colonies for the coming year is fixed
according to the imperial budget, at
$2,oOo,ooo, in return for which she is
able to point to 1903 colonists, all told,
of which number half are soldiers and
officials. With regard to the trade,
Germany's exports to her colonies do
not amount to 81 100000 per annum, so
that from business point of view the
undertaking can scarcely be considered;
as a profitable one. IT is evident that
the fault lies with the German govern
ment rather than with the German
merchants. The latter thrive and pros
per to phenomenal degree in the
United States, and in all those English
colonies where initiative, enterprise and
commerce are not submitted to all the
vexatious and hampering restrictions
that seem to be inherent to Germanys
notions of colonial administration.

PAP AND ExrRAvAGANCE.


On the LIST Of March, 1893, the total
inteyes bearing debt of the United
St2:es WAS SIS So $50.
On November 20, 1897, it is $751;
36j,ut0. ..-.'.
That is to say, in a time of pro-
found peace the governments bonded
debt has been increased by no less
than So" $50, simply because the
revenues have not equaled the expen-
ditures.
=. And now the patton is spending
every month 100000 more than its
income, with the certainly of still
further bopG issues if something is
not done to inc ease revenue or to
cut down exercises.
This Is the situation that confronts
congress.
Ye: the people are enormously tax
ed. If what they pay all went into
the easury the whole national debt
would be speedily extiugrisbed and a
reduction It taxation would become
pressing OF necessity.
The ouble is that under the Ding
ley-WcKmley eys; Ell the greater por-
ton of what the people pay goes not
into the treasury but into the Golfers
of protected" and trust manipulat-
ing monopolies.
On the Other hand the expenditures
OF the government ere enormously in
excess OF the actual need, because
vei'y great propc ;tion of the appropri-
atoms is made simply to serve rar:y
purposes, or in plain words, to bay
votes with bounties.
What monument the present con-
gress corld build for itself if it had

suit Of clothes Was produced from raw
material in less thsn eig't hours. Two
sheep we're shorn in the morning, the
wool was secured, dyed, csrded and spun
in one establishment in two hours and
twenty minutes; the uarpinv, wefting,
milling and finishing occupied three
hours and fifteen minutes at another,
while the making took up two honrs and
twenty minutes. the whole time being
seven hours and five minutes, and the
suit WAS worn on the afternoon of the
day on which the wool VAS clipped! A
similar experiment was made some 81
years ago at E,trick mills, when the
wool was spun ON the old hand iennies
and woven on hand looms. At that time
jacket and vest we're completed in Ii
hours, and in those DAYS it WAS deemed II

Latest Partisan suicide Modes.

New York Sun: Suicide is developing
strange forms in Paris. A dressmaker
was working with her three assistants
one evening recently, when they began
to talk of their troubles, and three of the
women, all about twenty five years of
age, coming to the conclusion that life
was not worth living, decided to kill
themselves at once. The fourth, girl Of
twenty one, said that she did not care to
be left alone and would die to. They all
wrote farewell letters to their friends,
sent out for bottle of cherry brandy ard
some charcoal, stopped up the openings
into the room, lit the charcoal and drank
the brandy. They were heard angling
and singing until late into the night by
the neighbors, and all four were found
dead the next morning. A few days be-
fore an actress in one of the minor the
aters, who was supping with three fe-
male friends, told them that she meant
to kill herself. They discussed the best
means for accomplishing her purpose and
decided on poison. She went at once TO
a drug store and procured what she
wanted, drank it in the presence of her
friends without interference and after
watching her commissions and seeing that
the poison had done it's work they called
in policeman and told him what had
happened.
