FRAME UP IN OFFER
ALDERMEN MAKE A COUNTER
PROPOSITION TO THAT OF THE
MILWAUKEE,
ONE OF THREE LEASES OPEN.
LENGTH OF LIFE AGREED
UPON.
ONE OF THREE LEASES OPEN.
To the Ownership of the Levee-
Broadway and Raymond Avenue
Are Not Considered.

Eight of the eleven members of the
beard of aldermen met last evening and
agreed on a counter proposition, which
will be submitted to the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad at an early
date.
Feb. 1, the Milwaukee road sent a
communication to the city in which it
requested that the differences between
the company and the city be settled,
and the litigation, which had been go
Ing on for the past ten years, be stop
ped. The propositions of the company
were five in number, and provided that
the company should build a $4,000
bridge across their tracks at Summit
avenue; that the company would con-
cede to the city the full right to con-
struct the Broadway bridge and that
the street extended to the river eighty
feet wide south from the union depot
grounds. The company also wanted
dismissed the suit in relation to the
ground covered by the brick freight
house, between Sibley and Wacouta
streets. They agreed to dismiss the
suit begun against Davidson by the
company and also requested that the
city grant a lease to the company for
fifty years, allowing it to maintain and
operate it's two freight houses on the
bank of the river at a nominal rental.
If this was done, the company agreed
to accept an ordinance which would as
sert the city's rights in the public
levee between Sibley street and Broad
way.
The matter has been discussed for
months by the board Of aldermen, and
last evening all the members, with the
exception Of Aid. Sanborn, Shep-
ard and Lindahl, gathered to fix up
counter proposition. After two hours
talk and innumerable votes, an agree
ment was reached. The propositions
which will be submitted to the railroad
company are as follows:
l. Judgment to be confessed by the COM
pany as to the rights OF the city in portions
of the levee which have been in dispute.
2 The city to grant an optional lease at
rental OF $1,000 per year, the lease to be
terminated by the council by a twO-thirds
vote of each body after ninety days notice
to the company.
3. A lease to be entered into by the city for
a period OF fifteen years at rental of 81, 500
per year.
4. A lease to be entered into by the city
for period of twenty-five years at rental of
GOO per year.
The agreement was arrived at by
an almost unanimous vote Of all pres
ent, Aid. Larsen being the only one to
vote against it. The Ninth ward alder
man insisted that the rent paid by the
company should not be less than S., 900
per year for a short or long term.
The propositions will be drawn up by
thee attorney and submitted
to the board. for approval after which
they will be taken nm nv the assem- hl1y
The. sense of those present at, the meet
ing last evening was that all possible
efforts should be made to bring about
settlement of the differences between
the city and the railroad company with
| out more litigation.

RATIO OF pAUpERS
LARGE INCREASE SHOWN IN MIN
NESOTA FOR THE LAST FIVE
YEARS.
FIGURES ARE STILL SMALL
GAIN IN RATIO CONFINED LARGE
LY TO THE THREE URBAN
COUNTIES.
RATIO IS THE LEAST in RAMSEY
The Showing of st. Paul Better Than
That of Either Minneapolis or
Duluth.

Some comparative figures to be en-
Bodied in the biennial report of the
board Of corrections and charities have
been prepared by Secretary Hart, that
will throw interesting light on the sub
ject Of pauperism in the state. Even
to those interested in sociology, who
have followed the matter in a general
| way. it will no doubt be somewhat
surprising to find that in the past five
years the ratio of pauperism has been
on the increase, and in very consider
able degree. Each year a census of the
paupers under the care of the state is
taken twice, in June and again in De-
cember. The figures to be presented
by Secretary Hart will bring the sub
Ject down to June 1896, with a separate
showing for the country and city poor
In June, $780, according to the figures,
as compiled by Secretary Hart, the
ratio Of the pauperS of the state to
each million Of inhabitants was 3911,
while by June, 1896, it had grown to
1895. The ratios for December, 1890 and
1895, were 5,723 and 1885, respectively,
an increase of 25 per cent in each case.
AS shown by these figures, the winter
pauper population is about so per cent
greater than that Of June, the increase
being found in the cities, the rural COM
munities showing no great change at
the different seasons. The increase be-
tween 1890 and 1896 is due very largely
to the three urban counties Of the state.
Their ratios at the following dates were
as follows: June, 1890, 4,140; June, 1885,
$50; December, 1891, 1880; December,
1895, Il, 205; in each instance an increase
of 100 per cent. For the same dates
the increase in the Is rural counties of
the state was IA per cent for June, and
per cent for December.
By the census of June 1896, ST. Louis
county had a total pauper population of
l,0S4, and a ratio to the million of popu-
latiOn of 1886. This ratio is more than
twice that of Ramsey county, which on
the same date had 912 paupers and
ratio of 6,182. Hennepin had 1893
paupers by that census, and a ratio Of
7,773 The total pauper population in
the three counties was $3.50 and for
the whole state, 1851 The ratio for the
three counties was $780, and for the
outside counties, 1896, and for the state
as a whole, 1895. In 1890 ST. Louis
county had but los paupers and q ratio
of 2340

ST. LUKE's HOSPITAL BENEFIT.
Institution Needs Funds Badly AT
This Time

Manager Scott has donated the use
of the Metropolitan theater for the
benefit for st. Luke's hospital May 5.
The entertainment, which is in charge
OF the board of manager OF the hospf-
tai, will be dramatic in the main. but
there will be other attractive features.
ST. Luke's hospital is in need of mon
ey. Early in the year the ladies felt
greatly encouraged over the outlook,
especially when the annual charity ball
was such a success. About 81, 800 was
added to their cash on hand, which
amounted to about 5000, all Of which
was deposited in the Bank of Mime
sofa. The suspension Of that bank was
disastrous for the hospital. The money
was needed not only for current ex-
penses, but a part of it was held to
pay interest and insurance, which were
nearly due. For a time it looked AS
if the only course was to close the hos
pital. Bishop Gilbert and T. L. Schur-
meier, however, came to its assistance,
and canVassed the business men for
contributions. They obtained enough
money for the immediate needs of the
hospital, so that it could be kept open
temporarily, at least. Then the ladies
secured extensions on other obligations.
These obligations call for 81, 500, and
this sum the ladies hope to raise at
the benefit next month.

TALKED TO BTNDERY GIRLS.
Mrs. Eva Mcdonald VaIesh Praises
Labor Organizations.


Labor Organizations.
Eva Mcdonald Valesh spoke to a
large audience of bindery girls at the
Assembly hall last night. The meet
ing was in the interest of the union
which was started about a year ago
and now has a membership of about
fifty. Mrs. Valesh in her remarks
urged the necessity of every one join
ing the union: that a few could do
nothing. She said in part: Years ago
it was considered a disgrace to be a
working girl, but at the present time it
is not. l think that she who earns her
own living should be honOred and re-
spected. The new woman Is the one
who belongs to the union and earns
her own living. Woman is on an
equal with man the minute she goes
into the factory to earn her living Why
not protect herself?
Zone of the examples of the power in
labor organization is the recent inves-
tigation of the bureau Of labor which
has gone on wild goose chase for any
thing but labor statistics. l hope the
bill before the legislature to re-orgar-
ize the department will pass. Gar
ment workers in the tenement house
sweat shops of New York are often
crowded into a small room. poorly
ventilated, and work their very Tesn
and blood into these sweat shop gar
ments. Do they do this to get rich?
No, they do 1t to get a bare exist
eEce. 1t has taken labor many years
to find out that they have q power
within themselves to compel a living
wage. The union should in all cases
try to remedy the sanitary conditions
of the factory"
In addition to Mrs Vaieshs address were
installation ceremonies and a musical pro-
gramme. T. ]. Conlin, Of the bookbinders'
union, acted as presiding officer and performed
the installation ceremonies Brose's orchestra
gave the opening musical number and another
later in the programme. both being well re-
ceived indicated by the general applause.

SUBJECT TO ORDER.
Capt. Castle Has the Receipts of
Unemployed Benefit.

The entertainment given by the I'M
employed at Market hall last Friday
night netted the fund about $125. The
receipts fell far below the expectations
of the committee having the affair in
charge, owing to inexperience. The
money is in the hands of Capt. Castle,
who was appointed treasurer of the
entertainment, and is to be paid out
by him on orders signed by Father
Lawler and Rev. S. G.. Smith. 1t was
at first the intention to use the money
for the benefit of the unemployed but
Capt. Castle says that in view Of the
fact that many of the fiat jewellers have
been reduced to extreme poverty by
the floods, it is probable that a
portion of the money will be used in
that direction.

A dairyman named Smith objected to
the removal Of his herd of IL COWS from
the building and informed the health
officers that he had secured a permit
from the mayor to use the basement as
temporary dairy farm. An investl-
cation made after the stock had been
removed showed that Smith had been
