MUSIC ON THE WATER.
Midsummer Concert at the Bethel
Boat.


The midsummer entertainment ut
the Bethel boat was given last even
ing under the direction of Mrs o. J.
Sweet, assisted by Mrs. F. B. Doran.
There was not as large an audience
last evening as there usually is, on
account of the weather.
The programme opened with a selec-
ton played by Miss Hopes Handicap
orchestra, which is composed entirely
of children. Vocal solos were given
by Miss Florence Pace and Mr..
Munster. Charles Farnham gave two
selections by James Whitcomb Riley
which were heartily applauded by his
listeners. Jessie Williams and Flossie
Emerson gave an instrumental duet
remarkably well. Mrs. Stahl also play
ed piano solo. Miss Marie E. Sweet
gave cornet solo, the tones of which
were clear and sweet and showed that
Miss Sweet has remarkable talent
Rev. John Wright made a brief ad-
dress to the mothers in which he
spoke of the advantages this country
has over others, especially the Eastern
countries. The programme closed with
a selection by the orchestra, which
takes it's name, Handicap, from the
first piece they played in public, and
the members of which show marked
talent
The boat was decorated with flags
and roses.

ments Under the New Law.

Judge Lochren, in the United States
district court, has appointed nine
United States commissioners for the
state of Minnesota under the new
law, which went into effect June 80.

old law. but he has appointed only
two instead of four commissioners in
st. Paul. They are Charles L. Spen-
Ger and J. ]. McCafferty, Ambrose
Tighe and William A. Spencer not
being reappointed c'-s gee.
The other appointees are: Mime

DATE OFF BICKEL's TRIAL.
Will BE Taken Up July 10-Schef-
fer's Follows.

Judge, Lewis set the dates yesterday
for the coming trials of William +.
Bickel and Albert Scheffer Mr. Bickel
will be tried first. July 10 is the date
set for the trial under the Indictment
charging grand larceny in the first
degree from the Minnesota Savings
bank. A special venire of fifty jurors
has been ordered returnable on July
10. The date set for the trial Of Mr..
Bickel under the charge of perjury is
July %, on which day another special
venire of fifty jurors will be return
able unless the case is nolled, as it is
expected it will be.
Scheffer was set for July 27 and a
special venire of fifty jurors was also
ordered for this case
All other criminal cases went over
until the October term upon motion of
Assistant County Attorney Zollman.
This included the case against Louis
Zschau, who appeared in court to plead
larceny in the first degree. Zschau
pleaded not guilty, his council, Pierce
Butler, reserving the right to with
draw the plea at any time.
Mr.. Butler informed the court that
Zschau's relatives and friends were
seeking to procure bail for him so that
he would not be obliged to remain in
i,
and that they had practically succeed
ed in securing $4,000 bond, whereas the
court had originally fixed the bail at
$4,000. Mr.. Butler deemed this latter
sum excessive in view of the nature
Of the charge and the restitution of the
money taken from the bank.
Assistant County Attorney Zollman
said that the state would be satisfied
with bond in the sum of $4,000 He
also assured the court that if a con-
viction was had, that the prosecution
would feel in duty bound to urge MOTH
ing more than reformatory SEN
tence, in view of the nature of the
alleged defense and the youth of the
defendant
Upon these statements and the
recommendation of the county attor-
ney, Judge Lewis reluctantly reduced
the bail from $4,000 to $4,000.
The calendar was then cleared in
part by nollying, number Of old in
dictments pending over parties re-

Judge Lewis signed an order YES
terday committing John Adler to the
ST. Peter insane asylum. Adler shot
and killed Bernard Miles a year ago.

mental condition. He was found to
be insane, and upon receiving the re-
port of the physicians, the. court signed
the order committing Adler to the

withdrawal Of the complaint against
her
Samuel Sargent arrested on the
charge of stealing three pairs Of trous-
ers from Sternberg & Leverson, cloth
iers, att 204 East Seventh street, was
discharged in the police court yester-
day, through the failure of S. Segel,
who lodged the complaint, to identify
the prisoner. Wednesday -Segel posi-
lively identified the stolen property and
Sargent as one of the men who had
taken it. but his memory failed him
yesterday when the case went to trial.
r. G. Evans, a colored expressman,
will spend the next thirty days at the
workhouse for making an assault upon
Max Cohen, West Third street pawn
broker. Evans demanded the payment
OF bill which he claimed Cohen owed
him, and during a dispute which fol-
lowed struck Cohen over the head with
a whip handle. The blow made an
ugly scalp wound. When the case was
presented to Judge Twohy he imposed

COPELAND TURNED DOWN.
Judge Bum Hollis That He Had No
Legal Authority.

Legal Authority.
Assessments for local improvements,
In cases in which John Copeland, act
ing as commissioner of public works,
performed some of the acts that the
charter requires the board of public
| works to perform, are voidable If OBJ
lection is made in time. Such Is the
effect Of decision filed by Judge Bum
yesterday in which he denies the ap-
plication of the city treasurer for
judgment against real estate delinquent
upon assessments for constructing GER
tain sewers and sidewalks. In these
cases the assessments were made and
confirmed by John Copeland, acting as
| the commissioner Of public works.
There are three cases and in each
the application of the city treasurer
is denied. Judge Bunn's memorandum
is as follows:
The question is as to the validity of assess
ments in cases where some or all of the acts
required by the city charter to be performed
by the board of pubic works were not per-
formed by the board, but by John Copeland,
the so-called commissioner of public works.
The supreme court declared the law at
tempting to abolish the board and create the
office Of commissioner of public works I'M
constitutional and void. 1t seems to me that
| the acts of the so-caled commissioner IN
performing the duties belonging to the board
of pubic works were of no more force or
effect than would have been the acts of any
other citizen of st. Paul in attempting to per-
form those duties. Mr. Copeland was not a
de facto officer, because he was not occupy
ing an Office that the law created or recog-
nized.
The office of commissioner of public works
was not an office de facto even under the
doctrine of the supreme court of this state,
that there may be such q thing as an office
de facto.
1t cannot be claimed that law. on its face
unconstitutional and void, because it was be-
yond the power of the legislature to enact 1t,
is apparently valid. 1t is apparently void.
This is the character of the law attempting to
establish the Office of commissioner of public
works. Granting, as the Burt case compels
me to do, that in this state, at least, there
may be such a thing as a de facto office, l
am satisfied that the doctrine cannot be ap-
piled to this case. There was no such office
as commissioner of public works, either de
jure or de facto.
1t Is also to be noted that the board Of
public works never ceased to exist, either in
law or in fact; 1t was in session continuously
and ready to perform all acts required OF it
by law, including the acts attempted to be
done by the so-called commissioner in these
proceedings.
Commissioner Copeland sat for four
months as commissioner, from Septem-
Der to December, 1896 He passed on
many matters during that time, but
the acts of the commissioner are valid
against all parties except those who
made objection as in the case above
cited. In other words property owners
who paid their assessments passed
upon by the commissioner, or the judg-
ments as the case may be, could not
be heard to object at this time, having
failed to object before judgment was
entered

BOTH WE'RE CRIPPLEs.
How II. ID. stevens Says j. w. COnIey
BIed Him.

A peculiar bond of fellowship drew
H. D. Stevens and j. M. Conley to-
gether and resulted in the arrest Of the
latter on the charge of stealing 500
from Stevens. Stevens makes the COM
plant against Conley, and alleges that
the theft took place Tuesday
Both men are eX-railroad employees,
and each is a cripple. Conley came to
st. Paul from Denver, Col, to procure
an artificial leg, and Stevens is in the
city from Crookston to have himself
fitted out with an artificial arm. Both
were crippled in railroad accidents, and
when they met in an East Seventh
street saloon and learned that each was
pr the same mission, they became warm
friends A carriage was hired and the
men started on a sightseeing tour to-
gether After visiting a number of re-
sorts Stevens found his money missing
and swore out a warrant for his COM
panion's arrest. When arrested Conley
had $45 in his possession. Stevens
claims this is part of his money, as he
says Conley had no funds when they
were out together. Conley was arraign-
ed in the police court yesterday and
held on the charge Of larceny until to-
day. He denies the charge.
