The action Of the Minneapolis street
railway Organization in utilizing the
Cedar street loop by the transfer of GER
tain lines to the use of the track along
that loop shows two things. 1t makes
plain the full extent Of the scheme which
animated the concern when it laid the
Cedar street loop originally. It did so
ostensibly to accommodate the new Still
water line This the people were willing.
to let so, since the line was regarded as
likely to promote closer business rela-
tions between the two communities. The
sequel shows that that was little more
than clever pretext. The terminus of
the Saltwater line is, as was doubtless de-
signed from the outset transferred to
Minneapolis; and, accordingly, the use
of the loop is made available for another
and different purpose from that or
which, no doubt, the public were willing
DIT should be used by the company.
If it be true, as claimed, that there Is no
authorization of city ordinance for the
existence Of that loop, its utilization for
the purpose of the new Lafayette-Mar1a
avenue combination involves a scandal
ious disregard by the Minneapolis CON
Germ of the rights and powers of this mn
nicipality which should not be tolerated
1t is not necessary to consider the ad-
vantage or disadvantage to the travelling
public of the change which has been made
in the operation of the Maria. LAFAYETTE
and Grand avenue Zines The other con-
slderation which the public should regard
is the one that that change has BEEN
wrought without any thought of consid-
ering the rights of the pubic as represent
ed by tho city council. There was time
not so long ago when the ownership ana
control by the street car concern of the
city government and its officials was rec
ognized as complete. A change in pol-
itics has since been effected. It vet 70.
mains to be seen whether the ownership
will be recognized under the changed
conditions and changed officials.
The city council cannot afford to ALLOW
this matter TO rest in its present shane.
1t is al question whether the street car
concern conceives the community to pos
sess anything like substantial control
over its methods Of operation. No two
circumstances could go more strongly to
the belief that it does not regard city
authority as being entitled to interfere
with those methods or to be considered
when It seeks additional privileges than
those Of the laying Of that loop without
any pubic warrant and its utilization for

TALK OF THE TOWN.

Thos. A. Wise, who is playing the prin-
! cipal comedy role in '"Fhe House That
! ,,ack Built" tells the following story of
! his first meeting with the author:
| Wise was in the Bohemian club, San
Francisco, one afternoon, when a man
stepped up to him and asked:
MIR. Wise?''
Yes"
My names Broadhurst I want you to
do something for me. VIII your"
| Certainly"
| ''All right. You know Smith," (smith
| isn't his name. but he's one of San Fran
| eisco's we'll known business men and bon
vivants.)
| Yep"
We'll, he leaves his Office every day at
| a quarter to and walks to the club I
want you to take your grip. meet Smith
| between the club and his Office, and tell
| him you're going to Los Angeles on the
5 O'Clock train. See? Then get rid of
your grip and meet me at the club at 5
O'Clock precisely. Understand"
| Yep
Ard you'll do it?"
Sure"
At ten minutes to Smith walked into
the club. At five minutes to Broadhurst
appeared.
TON Wise arcund?" asked Broa dhust
No. said Smith. Hes gone to Los
Angeles 80
You must be mistaken. I had an an
pointment with him here at o'clock
Well. he won't keep it,
oh, I guess he will He never failed
me yeti
4 tell You he's going to Los Angeles on
| the O'Clock train
The upshot Of it was that Smith offered
to bet two bottles that Wise would not
| appear. The bottles were nnened. the
| clock struck 5. Mr. Smith Smiled in an
| ticipated triumph as he raised his glass.
| only to see Wise walk in.
The point of the story is this: The In
| nermost circle of the Bohemian club Is a
society called 1.-THE Cheerful Workers ;,
whose object is the obtaining Of free
drinks. Smith was the grand master.
Broadhurst was a candidate for admis-
sion, and the success of his audacious
scheme to work the chief worker obtained
him admission to the charmed circle.

STAR THEATER.
The two skits and the olio which make
up the bill that is being presented each
afternoon and evening this week at the
new Star theater, Seventh street near
jackson, furnish the best vaudeville per-
torrance seen in st. Paul for many
months. There are thirty-five people in
the show, and some of them are top
notchers in the business. The show is
clean, varied and enjoyable, and is draw
ing good houses. Another good attrac-
ton follows the present one, opening Sun

purpose wholly different from that
avowed, and the making Of the changes in
the lines mentioned without notice to the
council. Until the validity of Its con-
duct in those directions is settled. and
settled beyond all cavil, we may look
at any moment for other invasions even
more significant of the rights of the COM
munity than is involved in this transac-
ton.
The council must act. 1t Is not neces-
sary that it should at this time do what
should have been done at the outset
tear up the rails which have been estab-
lished on Cedar street in disregard and
defiance Of public authority, and which
have been maintained since, as it is de-
clared, without any such authority. But
it is necessary that the relative rights
and obligations of the concern in ques-
ton and the city shall be clearly defined.
The sooner the council proceeds to do
this the sooner will the mark of owner
ship be understood not to attach to it
as It was universally regarded as attach
ing to its predecessor ss.S.

A PASSING MEMORY.

We read in song and story of some an
Gent thing and hoary,
Some relics of the past that memory
with delight surrounds
In prose and verse cratic Of some
treasure in the attic,
Or exc some song that swells again
some half-forgotten sounds.
Some cracked and silent fiddle or a
smoking pancake griddle,
Some humble thing that genius makes
a flood Of verse to yield,
But no muse has found expression that
leaves half as much impression
On my mind as the old hair brush that
my mother used to Weld.
1t had bristles on its bosom, but L never
saw her use EN-,
And 1 never could imagine why they
put those bristles there.
They may have been for combing, but
more often In the cleaning
have heard them swish and whistle
through the cool and quiet air,
For the hair brush she would send me
and she'd quietly upend me
Ger her knee and grasp the handle in q
way she knew so we'll,
Through the air I'd hear it humming,
then knew that it was coming,
And I'd squirm and twist and wriggle
until finally it fell.
All. how keen Is recollection of the ac-
cute direction
OF that hair brush as It rose and fell in
rhythmical refrain,
And the tingling diabolic as with ca
dence melaneholic
It swept with measured beat and time
and rose and fell again,
AS It echoed, as 1t Numbered. in what
agony / wondered
If each blow were not the last one,
while struggled there in pain,
Then she'd let me rise and take 1t and
be careful not to break 1t
And put 1t on the dresser til! she needed
1t again.
We may read Of treasured relics shifned
In memory angelic.
That rouses recollections Of astime that
Is no more,
The snuff-box grandpa carried on the day
that he was married,
The hat he used to talk through and the
faded coat he wore,
From the storehouse of the ages, and
from all the yeliowed pages
OF the book Of time what treasures OF
the past may be revealed.
Though 1t wasn't to my liking, yet
there's nothing half so striking
AS that brist1ing, whistling hair brush
that my mother used to WELD.

SMART SHORT STORIES.

There is no such luxury as privacy to
MIN whose name is heralded far and
Wloe. Some, no doubt, enjoy the distinc-
uon, but the majority must detest tha
intrusion. Goethe once arrived at such q
pitch of Feasibility by reason of the PRIV
ing curiosity Of visitors that, when a
tourist would not be denied, he descended
from his study, lighted candle in hand.
and without a word of greeting merely
placed the candle on a table and sat still
In noWise daunted by the cold reception,
the tourist calmly seized the candle, and
went round and round the great man.
Whereupon the poet broke into a laugh
and ordered wine. And this persistent
visitor, needless to remark, was an
American.

Today, Sept. %, is the anniversary of
the death, in 1903, Of Richard Parson, the
famous English scholar, who exhibited
an extraordinary combination of the
highest classical learning and critical
acumen with a strong propensity to
coarseness and convivial excess. His
memory was a marvel He could repeat
whole novels and books of poems from
once reading. He had a great fondness
for liquor, and was known to frequently
return to the dining room Of friends
after the guests had left it, and drink
any dregs remaining in the glasses and
decanters. In his later years he became
SO dirty In his personal appearance that
friends refused to admit him to their
houses. He died at forty-eight years,
while librarian of the London institu-
