GIFTED PULPIT ORATOR.

nent Divine, to Be Heard.


nent Divine, to BE Heard.
Philadelphia's eminent pulpit orator,
Russell H. Conwell, whom the New York
Sun admits breaches to the largest con-
gregation in America" speaks at the
Peoples church Thursday evening, under
the auspices of the Y. M c. A. entertain
ment course.
For the past six years 1t has been nee
essary to issue tickets for the regular
Sunday services at DR.. ConwelPs great
church, which accommodates 5000 people.
Very frequently more than LOCO people ap-
ply for tickets after the 5000 have been
exhausted and the doors of the NAM
moth auditorium have been closed
against overcrowding. Scarcely service
passes without hundreds being turned
away, and this is in city which has been
called 1.-THE City Of Churches" because
there are so many Of them DR.. Conwell
was the travelling companion Of Bayard
Taylor. His biography Of that poet and
traveller had a very extensive sale. His
book, entitled, 1.-THE Life and Work Of
Charles Spurgeon," reached a sale Of 1885,
900 in four months. He has been in the
lecture field now for over thirty years,
and yet he cannot fill one-half the en-
gagements that are offered him this sea-
son. He was q very successful CORE
spondent for the New York Tribune, and
in 1870 was employed by that paper and
the Boston Traveller to make a tour Of
the world.
The people Of st. Paul are to hear this
gifted orator, and there are indications
that standing room will be at premium
at the Peoples church on Thursday even
ing.

JOHN CoMIsKEY DEAD.
Father of Charles and Patrick Com
iskey, the Baseball Men.


John Comiskey, father of Patrick II.
Comiskey, of this city, and Charles Com
iskey, the celebrated baseball manager,
died Monday at his home in Chicago. he
was born in County Cork, Ireland, In
1927 and after the troublous times OF
1S4S came to America He settled first IN
New Haven Conn.,, but in 1854 came to
Chicago, where he became naturalized.
In 1857 he was elected to represent the
Tenth ward in the city council. Ward
boundaries changed; the Tenth ward be-
came the Bloody Ninth" and later the
plain Eighth. But, through it all, John
Comiskey represented the people of that
section. For thirteen years he was
member of the council.
When Joseph Medflls was elected mayor
on the old "fireproof" ticket he looked
upon Comiskey as one of the few depend
able men in the Democratic parry. -Four
men were named as in this group-Com-
iskey, Daniel O'Hara, Mark Sheridan and
James w. Sheahan.
Mr.. Comiskey was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Mary A. Kearns; the
second was Miss Rose Riley, of New
Haven, Conn. The children are the six
sons, Patrick, Charles, John j., Edward.
James and Ignatius, and the one daugh-
ter, now Mrs. Sexton. His widow sur
wives him.
At the meeting of the city council reso-
lutions of coincidence for the family were
adopted. Us
The funeral will be held at the Jesuit
church, Twelfth and May Streets, today.
Mr.. Comiskey spent the seasons of 1885
and 1886 in St Paul, but has since been
living atehis old home i'm Chicago.

tains a Small Audience.
If Mr. Louis C. Elson were to judge the
musical culture of St. Paul by the size
of his audience at the Peoples church
last evening, his estimate of the musical
appreciation of st. Paul would not be OF
the most fiattering order. Mr.. Eison is a
thorough musical aristocrat, with the
pronounced presence of Bostonian, and,
in spite of his small audience, delivered
his lecture on Scottish Song in the
most affable and pleasing manner, adding
incidental folk song at the different Pc
RODS and circumstances of the history.
In interpreting the romantic and histor-
ical, Mr. Elson sang the ballads in.
rich and resonant voice. Mental pictures
were painted and brought before the eye
in vivid reality. The humorous side of
song and history was well told of Flora
Macdonald and Edward Burke, and
brought many a smile to the lads and
lasses present. Mr.. Eason eulogized the
name Of Robert Burns, the folk song
poet of Scotland, generating his name
and genius as the glider and refner OF
verse in the humble characters and sides
of. Scottish lifes The next lecture is. on
Friday evening and will be equally in
teresting, dealing, as it does, with Ger
man music and history, an inexhaustible
subject for the lecturer and an education
to any community Mr.. Elson is an able
lecturer and is sure to interest an audi
ence other than musically inclined

WALTHER STARTLED THEM.
Few Minutes of Sensation at the
Fire Board Meeting.


Commissioner Walther rather surprised
the other members of the fire board, and
incidentally Chief Cook, and Supt. Carey.
of the fire alarm, last evening, when he
announced that the fire in Griggs. Cooper
& Co.'S. was more serious than it would
have been had the Waterman in the store
not telephoned there was no fire In the
building, and delayed the call for the
fire department Asked for an eXplana-
ton, Mr. Walther said Manager Yates,
of the A. D. T. Co., had Informed him
that when the mercurial alarm went Off,
showing fire on the second floor Of the
building, the Waterman teiephoned the
A. D. T. office, and said there was no
need Of calling the department out as
there was no fire. This had delayed the
flremen reaching the building fifteen or
twenty minutes. and Mr.. Walther thought
something should be done about the de-
Law. Both Chief Cook and Supt. Carey
said there must have been some mistake,
but Mr.. Walther insisted that Manager
Yates had so informed him. The rec
ords of the fire alarm Office were pro-
duced and they showed the mercurial
alarm was turned into the fire alarm
Headquarters at $50, and the box or street
alarm two minutes later In view OF
these facts Mr.. Walther did not press
his motion for an investigation.
George r. Whitcomb, president of the
Northern Shade Cloth company, at st.
Anthony Park, after thanking the board
for the placing Of fire apparatus, asked
that additional men be placed In the hre
house at the park. He called attention

At its regular meeting yesterday the ST.
Paul Chamber of Commerce adopted an
amendatory resolution recommending the
collection of a per capita tax Of 500 for
public school revenue. and also went on
record as opposed to the construction Of
an ice palace as a feature of the winter
carnival
The report Of the committee charged
with the school question was that there
were 6,6S2 pupils in the Catholic and LOO
pupils In the Lutheran parochial schools
of the city, the public schools having an
average attendance Of 21,3S6. The total
amount collected by taxation for the sup
port of the public schools during the year
1893, the latest obtainable figures, was
$S6S, 12S.40. made up from the city and
county taxes and state per capita appro-
priation. A comparison of the expense
statistics Of st. Paul schools with other
cities of the same size shows that the
present sum available will require an ex-
penditure much smaller than in other
cities Of the same class. The committee
included in its report the thought that the
school fund should be based not on an
assessed valuation Of property alone but
on the number Of pupils to be educated
and the assessed valuation of property
conformity. 1t was also decided that a
copy of the report Of the committee on
schools should be sent to the charter COM
mission.
A letter from the Trade League of Phil
adelphia, requesting that the chamber CO.
operate with that organization in urging
the construction of the Nicaraguan canal
was referred to committee for investiga-
ton and report.
A letter from United States Senator
Nelson. asking for the views of the cham
Der on the proposed formation of new
government bureau of commerce and in
dustry, was also referred to comm. ttee
P. H. McGarry, of Walker. Mimi, sent
letter, in which he urged that the
United States troops be not removed from
the Leech Lake reservation.
Another letter contained a request from
Major Abbott, Of the United States en-
gineer corps at st. Paul, for the use Of
the rooms of the organization for a meet
ing to be held on Jan Is, of persons who
are concerned in the logging and trans
portation business on the st. CroiX river.
A letter from president Pruoen. OF inc
Carnival association, asking whether or
not the chamber approved of the propo-
sition to construct an ice palace as an adj
junct to the attractions of the winter
carnival was answered in the negative,
members of the chamber expressing them
selves as being unable to discern the
source of payment for the same.
A committee composed of ex-Presldent
Peet and Vice Presidents Lindeke and
Cochran was appointed to draft and pre-
sent resolutions on the death of E. ".
