Commissioner-Gener Peck Is much
delighted with the liberality displayed
by congress in the matter OF an ap-
hibit at the Paris exposition. He has
been congratulated by the president as

mended. The president asked for ST.

amount appropriated is s1,21O,0O0. Of
which 100000 is for buildings, $780,
600 is especially assigned to the agri-
cultural department and 100000 for

The charge that college professors
are impractical is sometimes very
practically disproved. A Western
professor tried the effect of electric
lily in an endeavor to thaw out n
frozen water-pipe. To his delight, in
exactly twenty minutes full head Of
water was flowing in The house. The
pipe was heated to about sixty de-
grees Fahrenheit. The success Of the
professors experiment induced gen.
eral use of his method in the city
where he lived. A press dispatch de-
clares that speedy relief was afforded
without the tearing up of foot Of
pavement, and his fellow-citizens nc
doubt have concluded that the pro-
lessor Is something more and better
than a mere theorist.

A merchant of New York, whose
place of business was recently burned
out, has signified his appreciation OF
the good work done on that occasion
by the firemen and the police by con-
tributing to their pension and RELIEF
funds. In doing this he was actuated
by an honorable impulse, but 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful IL the effect Of such
gifts is salutary. Private rewards for
public servants who have done moth
ing more than their duty may conceiv-
ably have tendency to betray them
into doing less than their duty under
circumstances which do not suggest
the expectation of reward.

A recent illustration of the workings
Of lese majestic has afforded food for
sarcastic diversion among the bach
elors Of the German empire, but the
married men, it is said, whenever the
subject is mentioned, become judic-
iously reticent. At Spandau, near Ber-
lin, husband and father, while seated
at dinner one day, made various o.
servations derogatory to the kaiser.
The cause Of the outburst is not dis
closed. The wife was, apparently. of
the sternly Roman kind, and with her,
loyalty to husband was subservient to
loyalty to ruler. She Immediately
fastened to an adjacent police-station,
denounced him, and had him arrested
and imprisoned. The moral embodied
in this domestic outbreak presents pos
sibilities that must be somewhat dis
turbing to the married men of Ger
many.

ONE OF A GANG.
George Kelly Was the Head of a
Bunch of Thieves.

The arrest of George Kelly, a Minneap-
oils boy and all-around sneak thief, who
was taken into custody Saturday for dis
posing of stolen property IN this city, has
proved to be the first step in the unearth-
ing of a well organized gang of petty
thieves who have been operating in Min
neapolis and st. Paul for some time.
For the past two months petty robberies
and burglaries have been of fortnightly
occurrence, and the police were unable to
locate the guilty parties. After several
such occurrences, an opinion became gen.
eral that the operators came from Mime
apolis and made their raids. afterwards
returning. With the aid of the Minneap-
olies police department, a sharp lookout
was kept, and, by an accidental clue,
Kelly came under suspicion.
Since his arrest here. he has confessed
to the existence of a gang who have been
operating in both cities, and his confed-
crate, Axel Paulson, has been arrested.
The two now under arrest have given the
names of the other parties in the gang,
and 1t is expected that all will be under
arrest in a few days. The capture Of
Kelly Is looked upon as opportune as he
was the leader of the gang. Paulson was
his right-hand man. Both are boys under
20 years of age.

FINDS PLENTY TO CRITICISE
COMPTROLLER M'CARDY SAYS THE
EAGLE STREET SITE WILL
COST TOO MUCH
Property Owners Want Twice as
Much the Lots Are Worth-Its
Location Also Has n Good Many
Disadvantages.

A protracted session was held in the
council chambers yesterday afternoon
by the special joint committee on mar
ket house site, but, like the preceding
meetings, no definite action was taken.
The only thing the committee did, as a
partial or possible way out of the tan
gle, was to refer the proposition of III. S.
Fairchild, who represents the owners
of the Eagle street site, to the corpora
ton attorney, who will examine and re-
port on the legal phase as regards the
title to the property of the right of the
city to acquire a lease and afterwards
complete the purchase.
When the. meeting was called to order
Mr.. Fairchild explained that, while his
proposition involved a cost of s49,625, a
further sum of 81 900 would be necessary
to secure the entire block
Comptroller McCardy then read a pa
per, in which he defined the duties of
the committee on market house site, as
set forth in assembly bill 4,505. In this
connection he said it was the judgment
of well informed people that the price
at which the property is offered is dou-
BILE what it is worth and he recommend
ed that the committee cease further ne
gotiations. He said that 1t would cost
at least s25,ee0 to put the property In
oHdPS, WAiCH WOuiu UilIS Tic COSl up "
$4,000, and he also objected to the grade
of Eagle street, which,. he said, is per
cent, or equal to one-half of the Seby
avenue grade. He also condemned the
site for the reason that farmers would
be compelled to cross the street railway
tracks at Seventh street where 200 cars
passed up and down daily.
Mr.. Thompson, of the committee, took
issue with him, saying that, if 200 cars
passed on Seventh street. at least 400
cars passed in front of the other site
The latter said he had become weary of
beating around the bush; that the mar
ket house had been turned over to the
library board in good faith, and what the
people now want is a market.
Messrs. Benson and Bantz spoke in fa-
vor of the Eagle street site, and Mayor
Kiefer thought the committee should re-
port the facts to the council as they had
been found.
After further debate the proposition of
Mr.. Fairchild was referred to the cor
poration attorney for a legal opinion, to
report at meeting to be held at O clock
next Monday.

Legislature VIII Visit the State
Prison Tomorrow Afternoon.

The resolution of Mr. Abbott (Rep), of
far1bault, providing for recess of the
mouse on Wednesday from 11:30 to Z p.
m. in ORDER to allow members to visit the
state prison, was yesterday adopted after
some debate by vote of 81 to %.
Mi. Abbott speaking of the resolution
said 1t was the duty of every member to
visit all the state institutions and the
time to be taken Wednesday would be
Well repaid.
Mr. Kelly Niep), of Rice, expressed
surprise that the time of the house should
be taken up with visit to the state
prison When there was important legis-
lauon to he considered by the house. The
object OF the visit was simply to create
sympathy for bill now pending relating
to the pardoning of two members of a
most villainous gang now In the state
prison. He hoped the house would not
waste whole day in such business and
that the resolution would not prevail
A petition signed by 270 residents of
Mortified protesting against the passage
of the Wilson bill relating to the
pardoning of the Youngers was read
and referred to the committee on state
prison and reformatory.

Senator Greer said the bill had two OBJ

legal objection. The bill was then recon-
mended for passage.

MIR. Staples informed the committee
that he did not know as much about the
militia as he did about butter and dairy
products. but the plan of having three
regiments was n good one.
Secretary of State Berg appeared and
urged the appointment Of document

said something was certainly needed in
the, office of the secretary of state.
Things were in chaotic state in the Of

things. The room where the bound books
and reports were kept was dirty and
some change should be made. The bill
was recommended for passage.
