On the evening of May 4, Josef Holman,
certainly the greatest living genius among
pianists, will be brought to the Peoples
church at heavy expense by the club.
1t is not too much to expect that every

The support given to this entertainment
will be considered by the Schubert club as
an expression of your interest and other
future efforts will be largely gagged by it.

Executive Committee of the Schu-
bert Club Tells About 1t.
The executive committee of the Schubert
club has issued the following to the mer-
chants. press and people of st. Paul:
The Schubert club is the only organiza-
ton of size and Importance whose sole OBJ
ject Is the study and advancement Of must
cal culture In our city, and which for the
better furtherance of that object has brought
many Of the best artists and lecturers here.
Minneapolis has four such organizations,
which are literally supported by the citi-
zens During the last year, owing to the
hard times or for other reasons unknown,
high class entertainments in St. Paul. as
rule, have not been well sustained by our
people.
Several of the best artists now before the
public notably Ysaye, the violinist, and
Gerardy, the 'celloist, have not come to St.
Paul at all, and we are now informed that
Media will visit only Minneapolis.
The officers of the Schubert club, many of
whom are among our most progressive
broad-minded and loyal citizens work
faithfully and entirely without eompensa-
ton for the advancement of that noble art
which they believe refnes and elevates the
individual, and hence makes for good citi-
zenship. They cannot work alone they
must have the financial and moral support
of the community or else abandon the proud
position previously held, of being one of
the most successful and progressive musi-
cal clubs in the United States.
Minneapolis is struggling hard for SUI
premacy in this, as in other directions and
we can assure our busineDs men that it is

interurban street railway ordinance of the
st. Paul City Railway company, and referred
the document to the corporation attorney

action, but the committee said the measure
must first go to the corporation attorney.
The ordinance provides that the franchise
expire in 1889.
The streets committee of the assembly was
asked to meet with the streets committee
of the board of aldermen for joint cons!d-

ment but the majority against him.

Price of Credentials Increased to
Meet 1t.
Inc following resolution has been adopted
by the mileage bureau of the Western PAS
senger association:
whereas, Several months of practical ex-
per1ence have demonstrated that the charge
LOT the credential under the Interchange
able mileage credit system is not sufficient
10 no aeI n the expense incident to the issu-
ance thereof. and the increased work of ac-
counting in the payment of refunds, and
whereas. The Interchangeable system ex
tends greatly increased facilities to the pur-
cnasers of such transportation, and
whereas, The original charge was based
upon the repeated expressions made by COM
mercial travellers and other similar organi-
cations in their requests for INTERCHANGEABLE
mileage of the propriety of the expense of
ma1nta lining clearing house for that pur-
pose being assumed by the purchasers or
users of the tickets,
Therefore be 1t resolved, That we recon-
mend that provision be made for defraying

Matter of Special Rates for Large
Meetings..

CHICAGO, April 2S.-The lines of the West
ern association today settled upon the rates
which are to govern traffic from their terri
tory for the large meetings and conventions
of the year.
They have finally given up all hope of Sc
curing the passage of the anti-scaiping bill

have made their arrangements to carry it as
they have done in former years.
All the large meetings will be granted
rate OF one rare plus 81 for the round trip,
tional Educational association, where the
charge over the one fare will be 81 instead of
w. one-half OF this to go to the roads and one
half to the association as membership fee.
There is no extra charge for Transportation
by the railroads, but the price of the tickets
will be 81 higher than to other meetings he
cause OF the charge put on by the association
itself.

If is probable that the annual after
noon TEA at the Town and Country CLUB
memorial day will be a bit more inter-
esting in a way than any year before.
The war spirit has more or less IN
fluence on society's doings and Will
prJbably influence to some extent the
amusement offered by the hostesses
that afternoon. There will be the usual
golf tournament and games, and dan
cling will close the festivities.
There is hardly a resident street in
ST. Paul that does not show one flag
to at least every fifty houses. Every
apartment building and school house,
together with the engine houses and
other large buildings, fly the Stars and
Stripes. and some of the larger resi-
dencCs display two and sometimes TOUR
big American flags. The suggestion IN
Yesterdays G 0 b met with favor
where the flags had not already been
unfurled. 1t is no wonder that little
girl from Merriam Park asked her
mother what holiday it was and an
nOunced her intention of buying hre-
crackers tomorrow. At almost every
corner on St Anthony hill passers- by
are met by ambitious companies or
small boys who march and counter
march with serious faces, present arms
and then wind up their proceedings
with. small-siZed fight over whose
turn it is to carry the flag. The next
day they all have flags, and then there
isn't any more trouble till somebody's
mother buys him a drum.

DAIRY PRODUCT RATES CUT
ANOTHER REDUCTION IN THE
RATE TO NEW YORK
ON Through Shipments From st.
Paul In Carload LOts-SOO Cuts
the Passenger Tariff to Eastern
Points for Two Days-BiIIed
From Coast to Coast.


Minnesota farmers will be glad to
learn that still another reduction has
been made on dairy product rates from
st. Paul to New York.
Rates on butter, eggs and cheese
were materially reduced several days
ago by the Chicago Great Western
railway, the Merchants Dispatch and
the Star Union lines. These lines yes
terday announced further reduction
from st. Paul to New York of cents
per 100 pounds in through rates on car
lead shipments, making the rate now 65
cents instead of 70 cents
This sweeping reduction will greatly
benefit thousands Of Minnesota agri-
culturalists. 1t is estimated that there
are 300 creameries in this state, and
that 60 farmers sell their products to
each of these creameries. Therefore,
the cuts inaugurated by the three lines
will benefit $4,000 farmers in Minnesota.
