that Stuart has entered into a definite
agreement with the Nevada State authori.

OF dollars as license money for the privi-

ference by the Officials, and that the ground

ANAcosT1A RAILROAD ILLS.
Griswold says Failure of


Stockholders to Meet Is All Right.
The directors meeting OF the Anacostia
and Potomac River Railroad Company
which was set for Tuesday, did not occur,
for lack of qourum. President Girls
void said yesterday that this had no spe-
cial significance.
The advertised sale of the road on n
debt for paving meant merely that the
Commissioners were trying to enforce the
payment of the claim which the manage
ment, in the interest of the stockholders,
were fighting as Illegal.
He declared that the sale was being
pushed before the courts had passed upon
the question at issue in this particular
instance. The courts had decided the
same question repeatedly, however, for
the older companies, and always in their
favor.
The stockholders OF the company will
meet Monday. a discussion of the com
pany' sbusiness is then expected.

CONTRACT is COMPLETED.
Agreement Between M'Chants
and Globe Milling Co. on
Wheat Ended Nov. "a.

Tie agreement between the mer-
chants association Of this city. nnd
The Globe Milling company whereby
the latter was to keep the local
price OF wheat within \ cents Of the
Duluth market. and To receive cent
for every bushel purchased from the
merchants, terminated Wednesday
evening.
The agreement certainly proved OF
great benefit to the merchants gen
orally, but. no doubt. some We're
benefited more. according to the
amount contributed to pay this one
cent per hushel than Others. This,
of course, could not be adjusted
The amount paid by the merchants
was in the neighborhoOd Of $500, and
there were hut few cases, II any,
where the contributor considered
that his money was not we'll expend-
ed. However, there are some mem
hers of the association who think
that the present situation does not

n."nt. ard tn,.ys.,v" y u;)h not cnm-
tribute ,ur, her, bnt some Wer" Will

not unless all members did likewise.
so the agreement is at an end.
The agreement was In force abOu {
|
price of wheat at this place wasf from
y to cents higher than other points
in this vicinity.
Since the agreement ended the
Globe Milling company dropped the
price about one cent, and its repre-
sentative states that the company
will. keep the price within . or II
cents of Duluth prices. 1t ia paying
SO cents TODAY. The Monarch Ele
vator company, which hos been pay
ing within Z cents of the MINNEAPOLIS
market, will. we are Informed by itf

paying "a cents today, and II it con
tinues to pay within cents OF Min

One thing is pretty certain ant
that is the merchants will not allow
the price to go below that OF Othe

WARNING VOICES


The Bradley-Martius, wealthy New
York people who have forced them
selves on tke notice Of this country
and England by displays OF criminal
extravaganza aud vulgar ostentatiou
in the past, and who, short slime ago
married their daughter, child of six
teen years, to the Earl of Craven, are
about to astonlsh New York with an
entertainment which viii surpass in
splendor anything of the kind over
before seen in the plutoCratic capital.
Coming, as 1t does, INTO direct con-
trast with the narrowing tales of
want, misery, starvation and freezing
with which the papers are filled, this
ball has gained wide spread noto-
rIety, aud Two Influential voices have
been raised in solemn warning and
condemnation. DR.. Rsiustord, one Of
the best known aud most influential
Episcopal cleigmen in New York, he's
condemned it IN The most unqualified
terms, drawing startling parallels be-
tween the extremes of luxury and
squalor which are daily widening,
with a gulf between III watch our H.
stitutions will one day be swallowed
up.
Sam Jones says on the same sui :
iect;
"Dr. Raiusford expresses the senti-
ment of every right-thInklng Ameri-
eau. It is my opinion that the Hay
market riot in Chicago and all that
Herr Most has advocated never did as
much to widen the breach between
the two elements of America as that
affair VIII do. Luxury has its bounds,
which IL dare not cross With almost
every benevolent institution begging
it's way from door to door, with the
millions Of midas starving and pesti'
leuce.strickeu people, and ten thous-
and half.psid and half-slarved work
ing women Of New York city, aud al
most half OF he lsboring people OF
America crying for work, and thous-
auds CRYING for bread, such rsvel il
luxury as this ball is an outrage OF
public sentiment, q SANDER on Ameri-
can philanthropy, and a menace to
every hungry mouth in America"
Sam Jones sometimes fires wild
when he "shells the woods" but this
time he bit the BULBS eye, The
spirit that gives the Bradley-MarIin
ball is the same that led The royal
lover of Pompadour to strew the pub
lie roads with sugar when she wished
to 60 sleigh riding III The summer
time.

CURFEW SHALL RING.

The Curfew law, which was passed in
a few small pieces year or two ago,
hss been found to work so well that
its adoption promises to become gem
eral, not ouly in small towns, but in
the larger cities. The object of the
law is too prevent children from stray
ing about the streets after 3 certain
hour al night. Tins is an evil which
j. common enough in every town aud
hamlet 10 The land, aud any provision
which will put stop to it would he
welcomed by all parents aud good
citizens. The streets after dark are
botbeds for the propagation of crimi-
nal ideas and more injury can be
done to the morals aud character of 8
young boy or girl 10 all hour after
nine O'Clock at night than in whole
days spent on the streets. Home is
the only safe place for children after
night, unless accompanied by parents
or persons with authority, The ordi-
nance would be Of especial benefit in
Southern towns, containing, ssmost Of
them do, large negro population. IN
Greenville bands of negro youths and
children roam the streets almost all
night long in summer, perhaps with
no criminal intent, but greatly to tie
annoyance Of quiet citizens, and learn
ing the lessons which fit them for an
after life as professional thieves aud
providers. A return to the ringing Of
the curfsw may be step back into
what we call the dark ages, but we
may with profit take leaf from the
wisdom Of the anCIeuts, and at the
same time congratulate ourselves in
having made q step forward in the ad-
yaucement of the cause of civilization
and morality.
