warned the agricultural department that
there should be a strict quarantine put
upon the importation of Philippine plants.

very injurious plant parasites in the isl

MILLTONs IN CORNsTALKs.

The New York Commercial gives some
interesting information respecting the $50
900 900 cornstalk trust which is being form
ed. Up TO within a year or two the great
American cornstalk crop was a waste pro-
duct, just as the cotton seed crop was I'M
til it was learned that the seed contained
a valuable oil which could be extracted
profitably. Recently, however, it was
discovered that the cornstalk could be
manufactured into cellulose for pack
ing for the sides of ships, and now two
factories for the production of this COM
modify are consuming thousands of tons
of cornstalks annually. Cellulose, how
ever, is but one cornstalk product; there
are five others known, for which there is
a ready market at profitable prices, name
". fine grade of cardboard, fine grade
of paper. an unequaled base for dynamite,
patent cattle food, and a superior glue.
1t is estimated that there are produced
in this country every year 250000000 tons
of cornstalks, practically all of which go
to waste, since the few thousand tons
used by the present celIulose factories
hardly made a hole in the prodigeous stalk
pile. If all of these cornstalks were made
up into the various products named above,
the value thus created would be in the
neighborhood of $9OO,OOO,OOO per year, ac-
cording to the Commercial. 1t would APP
pear from these figures, therefore, that
during the past twenty years the farmers
have thrown away enough to pay off all
of their mortgages and the national debt
besides.
The Commercial says it is the purpose of
the trust to make a market for this hith-
erto waste produce; not that it hopes to
provide mills for grinding up all OF he
cornstalks and turning them into cellu-
lose, dynamite, glue etc, but it purposes
building at once half dozen or more fac
tories in the great corn belt, and adding
to the number of its plants from time 10
time as the demand for it's products in
creases. Wherever the factories are stu
ated. of course the farmers of the nearby
territory will be much benefited. Re
ceiving money for cornstalks will be 10
many of them almost like finding money
in the road The price which the stalks
win fetch win be s. or Sc a ton. and an
average acre win produce three tons.
Here, then, is a trust which is to be the
creator of market, not the stranger of
one. 1t will give the farmers a source of
revenue which they have not heretofore
enjoyed. Is this trust TO be condemned
as an octopus and blood-sucker?

Says Robert E. speer, the World
Could BE Evangelical.
Members of the Young Peoples Society
Of Christian Endeavor crowded the House
of Hope church last evening to listen to
an address by Robert e. Speer, of New
York, one Of the secretaries of the board
of foreign missions Of the Presbyterian
church. Mr.. Speer has travelled extensive
ly in foreign lands in the interests of mis-
sionary work, and appealed eloquently in
behalf Of the heather nations.
Rev. James D. Paxton, pastor of the
House of Hope church, presided, and the
opening prayer was made by Rev G. w
ScoVel, who later introduced the speaker
of the evening. Mr.. Speer is a young man
of exceptional ability as a public speaker
fllled with the enthusiasm OF the work in
which he is engaged. He pointed out the
great numbers of benighted heather who
were without a knowledge of Christianity
and declared that it was the business OF
the Christian church to evangelize the
world 1t was not an eXtravagant state
mcnt, he said, that the evangelical ton
could be accomplished within one genera
tloh. 10 accomplish the task, however
church members must leave their sealed
houses, MIR. Speer declared and bear to
the perishing the blessing bestowed upon
them by Christ.
citing one way Of accomplishing the
work he outlined, Mr.. Speer said that
lhere were 1000 900 students in the col
reyes or the land that would soon grad

number choose the missionary field as his

AIR-TIGHT GASOLINE LAMPS.
St. Paul May Have an Innovation In
Street Lighting.

A meeting of the joint council commit
tees on streets was held last evening to
consider the specifications for street light
ing for next year. The specifications pre-
pared by the board Of public works and
city engineer were accompanied by a let
ter from that body recommending the
taking of preliminary steps for the cree
ton Of a municipal lighting plant. AS
such action would require an act of the
Legislature, the committee paid no at
tention to the recommendation.
The gas Lighting Specifications, providing
for maximum of $500 lamps, were prac-
tically the same as those of last year and
were approved.
The electric light specifications were
changed from those under which the
lighting was now done and bids will be
received.for lighting each of the eleven
wards in the city either separately or as
whole The number of arcs under the
specifications are from twenty to 1875
In each of the wards, and an aggregate
of not less than 400 nor more than 1,00f
throughout the city. The franchise clause
In the specifications was amended so as
to give the person, firm or corpora ton
receiving a contract a franchise for a
period Of one instead of ten years, as has
been the usual form for the past four
years.
vi lIo SdSOllHe SpeClIlcatlOnS the more
important change was made at the re-
quest of Robert Seeger, of the American
Development company. Mr.. Seeger has
new incandescent gasoline lamp which
ne claims will give a light of sixty can
ole power. In order to use the new lamp
however, the present posts and lamps
Which are owned by the city would have
to be discarded and new iron posts and
alr-ught lamps put in The present plant
represents an outlay of about $4,000. and
there was some question as to whether
II would pay to discard the posts and
lamps. Mr.. Seeger stated that the new
lamp would cost about $50 per year. as
AGAINST SS.25 which is now paid for each
or the 2,100 gasoline lamps in use 40
cordlng to Mr.. Seeger, each new lamp
would dlsplace from one to three of the
present lamps. He also advanced the
opinion that gasoline lighting bids for
next year would be double the present
cost, owing to the jump in the price of
gasoline. Mr. Seeger informed the com
mlttee that he would not, in case he Sc
cured the contract for gasoline lightine
give one cent for the present posts and
lamps. The specifications were amended
so as to provide for three bids. one for
from 300 to 600 Of the incandescent lamns
another of from 600 to 1000 Of the new
lamps and third of from 1900 to 5000
OF the lamps such as are row In use
The committee approved all of the spec
lflcations and directed the passage of a
resolution directing the city clerk to ad
Veft1se for bids under them The resolu
ton will be passed by the aldermen at
Its meeting tonight and the assembly
Thursday evening.

Bigelow and his assistant, F. W. Zoll-
man.
The argument of the latter followed the
old lines that the act of 1899 was uncon-
stitutional not only because there was
some doubt as to its basis of classified
ton coming within the lines laid down
for the division Of cities into classes as
formerly held by the court. 1t was also
contended that the time was now too
late for the issuance of the writ Of man
damus asked for to compel County Au-
ditor Johnson to spread the assessment
on the tax lists for this year.
The counsel for the relator contended
that a law must be considered as on It's
own bottom, as to whether its effect
was that of special or class legislation,
and not numbered with the consideration
of what old laws, general or special, it
would affect. If it's effect was general
and similar on all the communities sub
jected to it's operation, then 1t was not
Objectionable on the score that 1t was
special legislation. The argument con-
tended that the law of 1899. as 1t gave
each of three cities the right to levy a
tax of one mill and a half on Its tax
able valuation for school purposes, was
even in it's effects and within the scope
of proper legislation.

TRAP FOR GOOD ROADS
CONTRACTOR REPORTS TO COUNTY
HIS ATTEMPTS TO CRUSH 1T
HAVE FAILED
MACADAM SCHEME HAS FAILED

Serious Difficulty Encountered Is
the Inability of the Steam Roller
to Bind the Finishing Surface
With the Trap ROck-Judge Ba-
ziIIe Granted an Extra Clerk to
Look After Savings Bank Matters.
At the close of the meeting Of county
commissioners yesterday, with all the
commissioners present, Contractor John
w. F1eetham appeared, and stated that
his attempts to macademize certain por-
lions of the county roads had proven a
failure. The announcement came In the
eture Of surprise to the board.
Mr. Fleetham held the contract under
the board to macadamize one and one
eighth miles on the White Bear road and
one and one-eighth miles on Rice street,
just outside the city limits. The work was
experimental, and was done under the
plan laid down by Government Expert
Harrison last summer Mr.. Fleetham told
the commissioners that his ten-ton roller,
as recommended by Expert Harrison,
could not bind the finishing surface on
trap rock, as 1t did not crush, but split,
the rock. This statement was met by
the board with the suggestion that the
contractor try the trap-rock with clay
and gravel sand and sandstone, fixing up
short pieces with each to be viewed by
the board tomorrow afternoon. Expert
Harrison is now In Wisconsin attending
good roads meetings. He was requested
by Wire to be present on Wednesday, and
explain the difficulty in road building that
has arisen.
At the board meeting Judge Bazille ap-
peared before the commissioners, and
asked that he be allowed an extra clerk
for month, in order to attend to the
extra work attendant upon the resolution
of the court to appoint without charge
guardians for the minors who were de-
positors in the Savings Bank Of ST. Paul.
Judge Bazille explained that there are
nearly a thousand of the depositors who
are minors, and his action was taken with
a view to preserve their interests. On

QUehl.
Sheriff Wagener's bill, aggregating $3
031.60 for the service Of delinquent tax
notices, together with a communication
on the subject from the county attorney,
was referred to the committee on claims.
The sum of $500 was appropria ted for
the construction of the North st. Paul
road, and the commissioners listened to
the reading of communication from the
park board, thanking them for their ac-
tions.in deciding to replace the Phalen:
creek bridge.

LEFT THE SHAMROCK OUT,
Yet Two NationnIities Were In
voIved in This SGuabbIe.

o. E. Lindgren, proprietor of a Wa
couta street hotel, was arrested last even
ing on the charge of assault with dam
gerous weapon. He is accused of attack
ing George Bartelson with a knife. Bar
telson has two wounds on his face. one
on the forehead, another on the upper
lip He was attended by Dr. Foster. His
injuries are not serious.
Lindgren says he did not stab Bartel-
son, claiming, on the contrary, that Bar
telson administered to him a severe beat
ing The row started at a saloon az Mis-
sissippi and Glencoe streets, in an argu-
ment, Lindgren says, over the compare
tive prowess of Norwegians and Swedes.
Bartelson wanted to fight, Lindgren says,
and the two men went outside, where
Lindgren says he was knocked down and
pounded. During the fight, he says, he
took a bunch of keys and a knife out of
his pocket and struck Bartelson twice in
the face with the articles punched to-
gether, but claims the knife was not open.
Lindgren has several bruises about his
face and cut over his left eye.

ABANDONED THE BABY,
1t Was Left ON the Doorsteps at
George w. NOttage's Home

Out in the cold, on the back door steps
of George w. Nottage's residence, 1888
Aurora avenue, three months-od baby
boy was found early yesterday morning,
having been abandoned by its mother.
The infant was but sparsely clad In poor
clothing and shivered from the cold,
while crying fretfurly The waif was
taken into the house and cared for until
the police were notified, when it was
taken in charge by the Children's Home
society.
There is no clue to the identity Of the
child's parents. The infant is emaciated
and apparently sickly, seeming to have
had poor nourishment and Indifferent
care. 1t was clad only in a roughly made
over garment and wrapped in a coarse
blanket The child was left on the door
step before daylight, as its cries were
heard at O'Clock, but members of the
Nottage family thought the crying came
from some child in a neighboring house.
Shortly after o'clock, when the rear door
was opened, the infant was found. The
police are looking for the parents, but
no clue has yet been found.
