I, the present open season being from
April l to June Is SpOrtsmen fear that
it may cover violations of the close
season. The thirty -trout-a-day law has
passed both houses. Bills have passed
the House bringing hare and rabbits
under the general game law, and au-
thorizing the fish and game cOmmiss-
toner's to issue permits allowing nest
and egg collection for scientific pur-
poses.
The bill authorizing a bounty of $2.25
for each fox killed has been favored in
committee hearing, but its passage may
be resisted on financial grounds There
is no doubt that, for some unknown
reason, foxes have of late years greatly
multiplied in the state. During the last
winter many We're killed by hunters
within two or three miles of Hartford.
About so per cent of the members Of
the Wheelmen's association in the state
are reported opposed to the new bicycle
lantern bill. A proposed amendment
compels other vehicles to carry lanterns
as well as bicycles.

properties rich and great to-
day - properties that every

were offered for a song. The
people who did buy them then
are rich now; and why? Not
because they were "lucky," but
because they Investigated
promptly, judged the merits Of
the proposition correctly, and
acted while there was time.
If they had waited until to-
day to buy the shares of these
enterprises they would get
perhaps 5 per cent on their
money - possibly 8 49, but no
more. But buying when they
did, they get all the way from
so per cent a year up to 500

the worth of the opportunity and

William A. Conover who is the prime
mover in the newly incorporated Anti
Corporation Society,"" believes that the
industrial welfare of the country can
best be secured by the abolition of in
dustrial corporations Of the present
type. He is a firm believer in cooper
alton and thinks that the present cor
porations are formed on an antiquated
model which was all very we'll d hun
dred years ago, but which results in the
greatest injustice today, inasmuch as it
allows the owners of capital to walk
off with practically all the profits of the
enterprise.
Mr.. Conover thinks that the root of
most modern industrial evils is in the
antiquated system of corporations
which permits the control of wealth to
be used for selfish ends. He has moth
ing to say against wealth or against
rich men. but thinks the present laws
give them too great a reward. The ba-
sis of wealth is the laborer, and he
thinks that the labOrers should receive
the profits of the industrial operations
in which they are engaged, excepting
the fair share which should be al
lotted to capital.

DR.. LOUIS CARL Perrin.
The Great Palm Reader Quite Stir in ST. Paul

The past week has been a memorable
one in the circles of the occult of st.
Paul. all due to the advent in the city
of the world-famed palmist. DR.. Carl
Louis Perrin, who before his advent in
st. Paul spent four weeks in the city of
Minneapolis, ana whose predictions in
Chicago, through the columns of the Chi
cago Tribune. during the early weeks of
the war attracted the attention of the
entire country.
DIR. Perrin is a native of the city of vi
emma, and as child always had a cray
to him. as his father was one of the most
noted occult scientists of his day. His
early life thus spent among the atmo-
sphere of scientific knowledge was fur
ther strengthened by thorough course
in the most famous schools and universi-
ties of the old world, and after his grad
uatiolf he was sent to India, that land
of mystery and science, TO complete his
.Studies In the occult colleges. While in
India DR.. Perrin paid great attention to
the study of palmistry, making that sci
ence his chief thought and on his re-
turn to Vienna after an absence Of five
years he was made court palmiSt by the
emperor OF Austria. as a reward for the
correct reading of several of the most
influential members of the royal family,
as well as the hand of the emperor HIM
self. At the same time he was present
ed With the beautiful medal of the royal
star OF science order, this medal being
The Saint Paul globe., 1899-03-19

of Carter H. Harrison, John P. Altgeld
and several other prominent men in the
state of Illinois. The readings We're
given when the great fight was on for
the Democratic supremacy of the city of
Chicago, and at the time created furor
of excitement in the Windy City.
After DR.. Perrin had read the hand of
Carter Harrison that gentleman ex-
pressed himself as highly delighted with
the reading and told sthe doctor that the
points he had brought out were true,
and that if the future predicted by the
doctor came out as true as the past had
he would be well satisfied.
DR.. Perrin predicted for Mr. Harrison
that he would be elected to the gov
ernor's chair of the state, but that be-
fore being elected he would be once more
elected to be mayor of the city of Chi
cago. And DR.. Perrin now says that
Garter Harrison will be the next gov
ernor of the state Of Illinois.
ALTGELD FORCED TO BELIEVE.
When DR.. Perrin went to read the hand
of John P. Altgeld, that gentleman said
that he did not believe in palmistry.
and that the doctor might be good
judge Of man and of human nature.
and that If he could read his hand with
out ever having seen him he would be q
believer. A party of gentlemen then
came to DR.. Perrin and told him that they
had a hand that they wished him to
read without his seeing the man, and
Dr. Perrin said that he was willing. The
matter was arranged so that DR.. Perrin
went to a hotel, and standing in front
of a curtain, hand was thrust through
