New York May 25.-The tables in the
forward dining room of the American

pier at 10 o'clock for Southampton were
like a dream of a garden spot. There
were more than 100 immense bouquets

Marquis Alexandra Imbert de Maryed,
was addressed to Mrs. Frank Leslie,
and another, for the same lady, had
these appropriate lines attached:
Let US hope that the pillows won't
billow too much
For zephyrs instead of a gale;
For songs of the mermaid to lull you
to sleep,
Instead of the hurricanes WALL

NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIA-
TI0N MEETING.

For the meeting of the National Ed
ucatiOnal association at Buffalo in 1896
the excellent service given by the
Union Pacific was commented on by all
who had the pleasure of using that
line. This year our educational friends
meet in Milwaukee, Wis, July to 9,
and members of the association and
others from points west of the Missouri
river should by all means take the
Union Pacific.
The service of the Union Pacific
via Omaha or Kansas City is the very
best. The equipment consists of hand
some day coaches, chair cars. Pullman
buffet and drawing room sleepers, din
ing cars and buffet smoking and IL
brary cars. Fewer changes than via
any other line. One fare, plus s.. 50, for
the round trip viii be the rate from all
points west of the Missouri river for
this meeting.

SANTA FE IN NEW MEXICO.
Land Commissioner Frost Tells of
His Southern Trip.

Land Commissioner John z. Frost of
the Santa F'e has returned from a trip
in the interests of his department
through New Mexico and other points
in the south and west. One of the prin-
cipal points visited was EizabethtOwn,
N. NJ, which is surrounded by valuable
mining territory, all of which is tri-
butary to the Santa Fe.
Asked if the trip was made with the
intention of making investments in gold
fields, Mr.. Frost said:
mo, we simply visited that country
for the purpose of famiIiariziing our
selves with the territory and the bust
ness which it affords.
For many years in fact, I think
since 1860, placer mining has been con-
Quoted extensively in that vicinity.
Quartz mining is now commencing and
promises to be extensively developed.

promising fields along the Santa Fe
system" concluded Mr.. Frost.

to the fact that experts figure the
wear and tear on such plant at from
5 to 10 per cent and calling it per
cent on the $S7, 900 invested, puts the
amount on our local plant at S., 600 to
be added to the expense account of

eer, making total Of S16, S22. 5S as the

been water sold to the amount Of
SO, l22. Sc, or 81, 72O.2 % short of the real
cost to the city.
This self. sustaining feature of the
waterworks has been one of the chief
arguments of the advocates of

revelation of the fact that the city
has to 60 down into it's pocket for a
direct tax of over $4,000 to get an ap-
parent profit of few hundred for
water wilslnot serve to strengthen it
any.

DONTs BE IMPATIENT.

The Lake Crystal Union says that it
does not.believe good times will ever
come with recommendation, and adds
that we mustr have both metals and
paper money5and plenty of it in order
to have ,good times If one simply
read the article from which the above
was quoted, they:might be inclined TO
think thats slight is breaking over the
vision of the Union l Prosperity will
not come with monometallism, and
that is the reason the people defeated
the attempt to fasten silver mono
metallism upon.the country last fall.
What is wanted is both metals and
that is what the country now has and
to a greater,eXtent than ever before
in its history. In fact we have today
the only practical 'bimetallic system
the country or the world has ever
seen and it is our growing belief that
it is the only system likely to be
evolved that will give the people a
concurrent circulation of the two
metals. AS to the money volume that
is in every way sufficient for the needs
of the nation. There has been no
urgent demand for it's vast increase.
Greater confidence has been what was
wanted for months back and that is
everywhere increasing. The good and
DrOSDerOus times are coming. No one
outside of a few silver indictments
expected that they would suddenly
break upon the country like morn
ing sunrise. A man who gives his
order to the architect for the plans
for house does not expect to be able
to occupy the house the next day. He
uses little grain of common sense in
that respect. The Republicans are
not in power yet. Not a move has
been made nor could be looking to the
restriction of the policies they advo-
cate. Yet in spite Of this, business is
on sounder basis than it has been
for the past two or three, or possibly
four years. There is an expectancy in
the air that has been absent ever
since the free traders got possession
Of the government. The move in
the steel business and the great orders
that have been placed is simply a
finger mark of what may be expected
to follow.

NO PROFIT IN THE WATER WORKS,

A correspondent in last evenings
ReUae,o rather knocks hole in the as
sertion that the water works plant
has been paying investment to the
city, by showing that this profit has
been figured out by adding to the in
come of the plant the amount receiv-
ed from the direct tax of cents per
foot on lots fronting the water mains
and which last year amounted to 49,
241.50. This gave profit to the city,
according to the city engineers re-
port Of a little less than $500,
when the city was really in the
hole so far as actual earnings
are concerned something over
$1,000. He also calls attention

Hon. Jno. f. .Meagher was called
upon after supper for remarks, and
spoke in happy strain. He gave his
experience in buying a lot when he
first came to.Mankato. The property
was largely in the hands of jumpers.
He got a quit claim deed for his lot,
and next day Geo. Maxfield claimed it
and had. to be settled with. A few
days later ]. S. Hinckly said it was
his land and had to have his claim
satisfied. A fight in court also
followed. Every lot had one and the
most of them five or six owners. The
speaker warned young men not to
take quit claim deeds, but to insist on
warranty deeds when buying real
estate. He said that he has great
faith in Mankato property. He re-
lated the story of how he had once
drunk pail of milk.

place of Joe Brown at a meeting of
the railroad triumvirate at Faribault,
where he had gone on horseback, the
other members being Gen. Shields
and Gen. Sibley. The meeting was to
locate the railroad system of Mime
sofa. Gen. Sibley had map of some
twenty roads all centering at st. Paul;
Gen. Shields had map with all the
roads centering at ShieldSville in
Rice county; and the speakers plan
had them all center at Henderson.
Subsequent developments show how
far all were off.
The first minister the speaker ever
saw in the state was Rev. Mr.. An
drews, father of the Andrews family,
at Henderson in 1856. He had I'M
bounded respect for him. The speak
er was at New Ulm on the August
18th that the eastern papers claimed
that the people there dragged the eff
figy of Christ about the streets, in
justification of the massacre, and the
story was an absolute untruth. Every
body in Minnesota those days drank
whisky, except one man, whose
mouth was sewed up to keep the bank
swallows from nesting there.
Judge Severance said that he rode
out of the gate at the lower agency
twenty minutes before the massacre
began, and did not know of it until he
reached Henderson. There woman
asked him about the massacre, and he
had told her that he had just come
from the agency and there was no
massacre there. No one else at Hen
derson had heard of any mas
sacre. The woman's husband was
the first person shot at the agency.
She said that some one had told her
of the massacre, but didn't know who
! it was. Diligent inquiry afterwards
showed that she could not have been
told of the fact, and the case was one
of mental telepathy. The woman had
been mysteriously informed ofthe
breaking out of the Indians at the
lower agency.
| The speaker said that it is general
! ly understood throughout society that
where man comes in contact with
! fish his yeracity is affected. There is
something about this contact that
effects the understanding. The speak
er proceeded to relate what he said
was an absolutely true story of fishing
that he had done in a stream near
! Henderson. He and one or two
others had with pitchforks pitched
three wagon loads of buffalo fish out
of the stream, and could just as well
have pitched out five hundred wagon
loads. The fish had gone up stream
and been stopped by dam, and filled
the stream from top to bottom for SIX
miles. The fish all died there and the
creek looked like the interior of can
of Holsters. The odor of the decaying
mass caused the settlers to move two
miles back from the creek. The
Judge said that this story was a fact
"a perfect reality-and could be
proved by those who had lived there
at the time, and it indicated how we'll
stocked with fish the rivers were.
The population of Minneso-
ia when the speaker came was
10000, and it is now nearly
100000. In its educational and elee
mosynary institutions lit is not ex-
ceeded by any state in the union. The
