st. Louis has inaugurated a curfew
plan which may accomplish much good.
1t is not compuleory--simply suggestive.
Many Of the owners of mills and fac
tories have agreed to have their fac
tory or mill whistles blow in the eve
ming to warn the children that it is tine
10 60 home. The whistles will blow
at eight o'clock in the winter aud at
nine in the summer. and the plan will
he continued year. The large body Of
children which it ID hoped to reach in
this way come from homes whose daily
routine is largely governed by these
same whistles. As the fathers and
breadwinners OF these families obey
these whistles implicitly, the children
may be Influenced to like obedience to
the simmons. A compulsory eurfew
law has proved about as effective as the
anti-profsnity and anti-tinery laws Of
Connecticut, in the witch-burning days.
Every person expects to be allowed TO
exercise his God given sense-or lack Of
sense-in the things which concern him
alone.

Shakspere's declaration that age can
not wilher, nor time destroy her
charms" seems to have been emphst-
ically true Of Helen Of Troy, who was
forty six when men embroiled nations
for her smiles and fsvors. Lane de
Poitiers was fifty six when. far and near,
men declared her siren, whose fasci-
nation DO man could resist. Julia Re-
camier, at sixty, could scarcely dissuade
an enamored prince half her age from
suicide because she declined to accept
his proteststions Of passionate love.

as part of the Solid South, and the fact that the republican -populist majority in the legislature has been overturned insures the defeat of Marion Butler for United States senator and the election of a demo- crat to his seat.
 The opposition to the Democratic party in the contest was composed of Republicans and Populists. under the leadership of Senators Butler and Pritchard, but from all accounts very little interest was taken in the election by the negroes. The facul- ty of Livingston College, Salisbury, one of the most prominent negro educational institutions in the south, voted for the suffrage amendment, and quite large number of white Republicans also supported the Democratic ticket.
 Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina are the four southern states that have adopted suffrage amendment to their consultations, but it is only 8 question of time when Georgia, Alabama, and the other southern states, will also eliminate ignorant negroes from the electorate.-States.

ARTIFICIAL SILK.
Development of the IAdustry Now
 Going On by Leaps


 The silk worm, with it's comparative ly small output, has now rival in artificial silk and it was to explain the processes by which tn1s is produced that Joseph Cash, chairman of a fac tory at Wolston, near Coventry, read paper at the Society of Arts, says the London Mail. Sir T. Wardle presided. Many attempts have been made, said MT. Cash, to produce material Tesem- bling silk. but only recently have they resulted in commercially successful fabric. The earliest imitation was spun glass, which in it's fiexibility and brilliancy is excellent for millinery or dress ties, but it's limitations are soon reached, for it can only be spun cer- tain lengths, and it possesses little or no warmth. Polished" cotton, "mer- cerized" cotton and Pandura "silk, made of gelatin thread, have struggled for recognition in the market, but com plete victory seems to be reserved to what is known as co1lodion silk. pro- duced by the Chardonne method, which is elaborate. Enormous sums of money it appears had been lost ere the pres- ent success was attained two years ago. But now the development of the il- dustry is going on by leaps and bounds in Besancon, in France and in Switzer- land. The material has an even great CT brilliancy than silk, but the warmth is not so great. It is more durable however, than the natural silk as known to the ordinary customer.

SEA LION
cspsined Boat and Gave Two Fisher


 men an Exciting Experience.
 San Rafael lCal.l Spec. San Fran cisco Bulletin John Bartini and Joe Lafranky, two Italian fishermen, came very near meeting their deaths the other morning of McNear,s Point, in San Pablo Bay. Bartini and Lafranky had their nets set for the purpose of catching founders. and when the tida started to turn they proceeded to pull in. when they noticed that the nets were harder to handle than usual They thought they had an unusual large catch Of founders, but when they had fully 40 fathoms of net pulled into the boat large sea lion was noticed splashing the water at a furious rate. Bartini called to Lafranky to get an oar and hit him, but just asshe had said the words the sea lion stuck his head out Of the water and, seeing the boat and it's occupants, made lunges capsizing the craft Bartini. who is a good swimmer, immediately jumped for his partner and, seizing him by the arm, dragged him to the boat and fin- ally managed to get him on the bottom. When the boat capsized the anchor fell overheard and the craft was made fast. The sea lion continued splashing the water at terrific rate. and the Itai- ians were badly frightened. They called for help, but their cries were of no avail. as their voices could not be heard hundred yards, the wind blow ing a terrific gale. Finally, after they had been in the water for fully three hours, q schooner was sighted coming from the Patent brick yard, and the crew lowered a small boat and went to the rescue of the Italians. who were almost exhausted from fright and cold After about an hour the boat was lighted, the lion being killed with a shotgun from the schooner. It proved to be large one, weighing fully 1000 pounds. The lion was probably follow ing shoal of herring up the bay and ran foul of the Italians net and suc- ceeded in getting tangled Up in it. The net is complete wreck. This is the second time that sea lion has been so caught in San Pablo Bay and almost at the cost of life.

KILLED By THE FROST
APPLE AND PLUM TREE BIOS
SONS ARE BADLY
NIPPED
GARDEN TRUCK BLIGHTED
AS Result of Heavy Frost Thursday
Night the Gardeners VIII
Have Excuse for High
Prices.

Within radius of forty miles Of St.
Paul there will be scarcely any apple or
plum crop this year. A very heavy frost
Thursday night carried off all the apple
and plum blossoms, as well as all garden
truck that has developed any top what
ever. The damage to small vegetables is
not as great as it would be If the frost
had occurred a week later, when a very
large amount Of this crop would be well
up out of the ground.
With apples, plums and small fruits the
damage is considerable, and if later re-
ports indicate that the frost was general
all over the state, there will be but few
native apples or plums on the market this
year In some places the ground was en-
trely covered with frost Friday morn
ing, and in some localities water froze a
quarter to half an inch Of pure crystal
Apple and plum trees were In full bloom,
and the cold weather and heavy frost
w1thered all the blossoms and DESTROYED
the fruit-producing qualities of the trees
for the year.
Asparagus, radishes and small fruit will
probably be very dear, and bur a small
amount Of garden truck will be in the
market until the farmers and gardeners
have an opportunity to set out new plants

ST. PAUL 81 DULUTH
MELLEN EXPECTED TODAY
President of the Road Is Looked
for to Arrive From the East
News of the Rail-
roads.

The Northern Pacific took over the ST.
Paul q Duluth road to prevent possible
complications over the ownership Of a
considerable amount of terminal proper
ty in Duluth. This is held by the Duluth
and the Northern Pacific jointly, and to
avoid the unpleasant relations which
would ensue had an unfriendly road Sc
cured the Duluth and its half int rest,
the Northern Pacific was compelled to
take the initiative
This is the statement made yesterday
by a Northern Pacific official who.
through his close connection with the af-
fairs of the road, and his participation
in many of the deals which have given
the Northern Pacific its Duluth holdings,
is in a position to make an authoritative
statement. Regarding the effect of the
Northern Pacific entrance to the city
with a second line and concerning the
situation there between the different
roads, he said:
No move in the Northwest in years
has had the far-reaching effect of the ac-
quisitiOn of the Duluth by the Northern
Pacific. This is particularly true with
reference to those roads operating be-
tween st. Paul and the head Of the lakes
The Duluth will no longer be an inde-
pendent line, able to handle its affairs
without reference to foreign matters of
Importance, and becomes only a part of
very great system. Hereafter the road
will be unable to apply any policy which
could not be applied to the other parts
of the system equally well.
For a great many reasons the opinion
is general that the transfer will be to
the benefit of the cities at the head of
the lakes, and to the upbuilding Of Du-
luth as a great lake port
The entire situation between the st.
Paul-Duluth lines is changed by the
transfer Where the Dulu h was former
ly line having an interest in only the
business between the two terminal cities

COURT HOLDS FORMER POLICE
OFFICER OWES CITY.

Judge Otis yesterday filed findings for
the defendant in the case Of John A.
Pendy against the city Of st. Paul. The
plaintlf, who was formerly a lieutenant
Of police, sued to recover S71.75 for back
salary.
Reviewing the case, in a brief memo
randum, the court finds that April 7, 1896,
the common council took a certain pre-
tended action, whereby It attempted to
fix the salary OF plaintiff as lieutenant OF
police at $l1OO, and again, Feb 10, 1897.
the common council took certain other
pretended action, whereby II attempted to
fix such salary at s1,06l.50. and the plain
tiff received accordingly his monthly sti-
pend without making any protest
The court says that the action of the
common council was null and void, as It
had no authority 10 fix such compensation
in excess of $500 a year and plaintiff re-
ceived a sum considerably in excess OF
the correct amount
