'gress. as you well know, was set on
ire and forced TO surrender. In RAM
ming one of these vessels she broke off
her cast iron ram, but her officers did
not know it. The Minnesota got
aeound and the Merrimac was going
to make short work Of her next day.
The Officers and crew who were not
killed made their escape from her and
vent to the fort.

Sewall's Point, but there was not much
sleeping done. During the night the
Monitor came in, but we did not know
IL. On the day following, which was
March 8, the Merrimac came out
again to finish up the Minnesota, and
hen it was that she and the Monitor
became engaged in their celebrated
fight which led to the building Of IRON
clad navies. 1t was a running fight
and lasted for several hours. The
Monitor, which only drew from 10 to
70 feet of water did all in her power
10 draw the Merrimac, which drew
from q to % feet. into shallow water
but both boats must have had good
pilots, for they were kept clear of the
shadows, the Monitor steaming around
and around the Merrimac. Two tugs,
which were sheltered by the fort, dash-
cd out occasionally and took sly
shots at the Merrimac, only to run OF
10 the fort again. The Merrimac had
| eleven guns and the Monitor two in
a revolving turret. They fired twelve
inch shot at short range, but with lit
tie effect on either craft. Finally the
Merrimac tried to ram the Monitor
| and it was discovered that she had
[ broken of her ram in the engage
ments of the day before. Her officers
headed her about and returned with

versy between the railroad company and the
city as to the property lying on the levee be-
tween Broadway and Wacouta street. It was
now proposed to adjust all differences by the
railroad company conceding the city's owner
ship and the latter to grant lease to tho
former for term Of fifteen years, to date
from Jan. 1, 1898, at an annual rental Of $500
In 1896 the railroad company had agreed to
build bridge on Summit avenue, but that
agreement had not been attached to the
present ordinance Mr.. Markham understood,
however, that the railroad company was now
ready to build the bridge and complete it in
1898.
Attorney Norris. representing the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, spoke for his company,
and, while not authorized to say it would
build the Summit avenue bridge, saw no OBJ
lection to Incorporating that provision in the
ordinance to be presented to the council, bear
ing upon the levee property.
Gen. Andrews. Of the Summit Boulevard
and Park association, favored the addition Of
the bridge proviso to the ordinance.
The ordinance was commended by the adj
dition of the stipulation that the railroad
company SHALL during 1898, construct
bridge, 100 feet wide. across its tracks at
Summit avenue, according to plans prepared
by the city engineer of St. Paul The COM
mittee then decided to iavorably recommend
to the assembly the ordinance as amended.

ern system, an engine dynamo and six
motor-dynamos, to furnish power nee
essary for their telegraph service in
this district.
The power necessary Is beyond the
capacity of the old style batteries, Of
which 600 cells will be displaced. The
engine will be direct-connected u. e..
without beltinG to- 220 volt dynamo.
This will furnish current to six motor
dynamo machines, three of which
supply current Of 200 volts, and the
other three supply lao volts each, d.
rect to the wires through the switch
board In the depot office
The great amount Of current needed
is due to the fact that Oelwein Is the
terminal for some of the longest single
wires In this country and the center
Of the Postal Telegraph system operat-
Ing upon the line of the Chicago Great
Western railway.
The current from the machines will
be obtained at an expense Of about
one-fourth Of that from batteries, and
is of great reliability. The cost of
making these changes will be about
$500. and the plant will be model
one of it's kind.

characters from comedy to tragedy, and has
always acquitted herself we'll. She has many

These jingling lines describe the scene on
the stage Of the Grand opera house yester-
day morning, and 1t all came about through
the insertion Of the following small adver
tisement in The G l o b e:
WANTED-A baby, from 6 to 9 months odd,
who will neither kick, cry nor demand an
increase Of salary, for use of Marie VAIN
wright in Shall We Forgive Herr" at the
Grand next week; mother must apply with
child at stage door at II a. m. Thursday.
It is the duty of Miss Wainwright's adj
vance agent, Mr.. Norman Peel to select a
haved baby in each city he visits for the
use of his star in the play Shall We For
give Herr" which comes to the Grand opera
house next week. Mr.. Peel, for reasons of
his own, does not enjoy this particular part
Of his work, and prevailed upon Manager
Theo. L. Hays to make the selection. Mr..
Hays being a family man, and Mr.. Peel q
very big and robust bachelor, was better fit
ted by experience to make selection that
would not fail to please Miss Wainwright
AS Mr.. Hays caught sight Of the twenty
odd babies so proudly held by their moth
ers, almost filling his stage, he fed to the
flies" and all the persuasive eloquence Of
Mr.. Peel and his allies could not get him
down. The latter mopped the perspiration
from his brow as one of the mothers eyed
him sternly and asked him If 1t baby
show he was running, or If he only wanted
the baby to play act with Miss Wainwright
Say, Rutledge, you pick out one, like a
the treasurer of the theater, "and I will buy
the CIGARS and with this parting remark
he disappeared among the retreats of the
scenery which Uttered the stage.
Mr.. Rutledge selected a fine, chubby little
youngster named Zetta Dennison, who lives
on Dayton avenue. Little Zetta will, there
fore, make her debut on the stage next Sun
day night In the arms of Marie Wainwright.

In accordance with the aggressive
policy exhibited by the Northern Pa
cific Railway company for the last
few. years, 1t has contemplated re-
latively large expenditures for this
season In improvements to the prop
erty.
In addition to the numerous extern
sions of the line which are being made
and will be made, the Northern Pa
cific will expend about 100000 in ad-
ditiOnal side tracks and extensions,
improvements to the road bed in the
nature Of widening the banks, ballast
ing, supplanting old rail with heavier
sections Of seventy-two pound rails, re-
placing and filling Of bridges, revision
Of grades, water and station buildings,
permanent tunnel work, etc.
The conditions prevailing upon a line
Of the magnitude Of the Northern Pa
cif1c railway, the length Of time 1t has
been constructed, the general taking
up of its lands and the consequent de-
velopment Of its settlements necessi-
tate increased facilities and, conse-
quently, swelling of it's expenses.
That the money disbursed during the
last few years has been wisely ex-
pended no one can doubt, when the
results Of the recent operations Of the
road are inspected, and the improve
ments this year have in mind ultimate
success and prosperity Of the company,
and the lesseping per unite Of the cost
Of transacting its business.
The following extensions will be
made this year:
A line to Lewiston, Idaho, from
Julietta, on the Spokane & Palouse
branch, distance of lwenty-one miles.
Extension Of the Gray's Harbor
branch from Aberdeen to Hoquiam,
Wash, distance, four miles.
Completion Of the Gaylord & Ruby
Valley line, from Parrot to Twin
Bridges, Mont, near Butte; distance,
twenty-four miles.
Extension on Manitoba line from
Belmont to Hartney distance Of
about fifty miles. This road will serve
a large district of country that has
been wanting a railroad for a long
time.
