Growing Sentiment That Two Elk

necessary and Expen-
sive Luxuries.

The state high school board, composed
of Supt.: c. NJ. Jordan, of Minneapolis;
President Cyrus Northrop, of the uni
versity, and State Superintendent j. w.
Olsen, will hold a session at the capitol
to add five new state high schools to
the state high school list. The most inn
portant proposition tUI be-. considered is
the abolition of the midwirter examina-
tions of the board. These examinations
are held in all the state high schools.
This question has been agitated for many
years. 1t is very likely that the board
may vote to do away with them, and
have but the one examination a year,
the final June examination: It is felt
that in many ways the winter examina-
ton is ofolittle value and in many ways
a nuisance. 1t breaks into the continu-
GUS work of the various courses and ne

difficulty is experienced in securing first
class readers to correct the papers, for
the reason that most of them are teach

against examinations of any kind except
as they are absolutely necessary, and the
feeling is common that they are at best
only necessary evils. SIZE
If the board abolished the first eX-
animation and made the June examina-
tions more thoroughly representative of
the entire years. work it would in many
ways prove distinct gain to the schools

To secure additional information di-

send little boxes of gold and greenbacks
to persons who write the most interest
ing, detailed, and truthful descriptions of
their experience on the following topics:
1. How have you been affected by cof-
fee drinking and by changing from cof-
fee to Postum.
2. Do you know any one who has been
driven away from Postum because it
came to the table weak and characterless
at the first trial?
8. Did you set such a person right re-
garding the. easy way to make Postum
clear black, and with a crisp, rich taste?
4. Have you ever found better way
to make it than to use four heaping tea
spoonsful to the pint of water, let stand
on stove until real boiling begins, then
note the clock and allow it to continue
easy boiling full Is minutes from that
time stirring down occasionally? "a
piece Of butter about the size of a navy

5. Give names and account of those
you know to have been cured or helped
in health by the dismissal of coffee and
the daily use of Postum Food Coffee in
its place.
6. Write names and addresses of 20

MUST SHUT OUT ANARCHISTS.

Not Supply Reds With Beer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-After minute

ley and extending the boards sympathy
to Mrs. Mckinley, had been recorded
President Lewis, of the excise commits
sioners, of Newark, N. j., offered the fol-
lowing anti-anarchistic resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t has come to the knowl-
edge of the board of excise that certain
saloonkeepers of this city have been
guilty of permitting anarchists to assem-
bic in their places of business and make
speeches against the head of our nation,
therefore, be it,
Resolved, That any saloonkeeper in
this city who shall be charged by the
police with harboring anarchists or per-
hitting them to hold meetings in their
places of business, and make speeches
against the government and the good
order of the community shall be deemed
not to be the kind of persons to conduct
business of this character, and any per-
son guilty of this offense shall suffer
the revocation of his license and be de-
barred from again receiving license to
do business in this city"
Three captains of the Newark police
thanked the board for it's action.
John DrowdoSki the saloonkeeper IN
whose place of business the police made
two arrests last Saturday for drinking the
health of the. assassin of President Me-
Kinley, has had his license Cancelled by
the board.

WILL ENFORCE LAW
CITY AUTHORITIES DETER MINED
THAT NEW JAIL CONTRACTORS
OBSERVE BUILDING CODE
UPHELD BY RECENT DECISION
plans Must Be Filed and Permit Sc
cured So That Cost of Build
ing May Be Esti-
mated.

Up to the present time the board of
county commissioners, which has on its
hands the erection of the new county
Jail, has ignored the building code, which
demands that plans shall be filed and d
permit secured for all buildings erected
within the corporate limits of the city of
st. Paul. If present intentions of the de-
partment are carried out, the observance
of the code will be demanded, or work on
the building will be Immediately stopped
With little that might be construed as
a precedent, as far as past building
operations in St. Paul are concerned, the
department has been reluctant about
pushing the controversy to an issue, but
the citys rights in the premises have
been practically clinched by a supreme
court decision recently handed down in
a Western court. The case at issue was
a demand for the observance of the city
building laws in the construction of a
government building, and in the opinion,
rendered the citys contentious We're
fully upheld. In brief it waste the eff
feet that the United States government in
the construction of its public buildings is
fully amendable to the laws of the city
in which the building is to be erected or
Is in course of construction.
If the United States must conform with
a building code, the department holds
that the county is as equally amendable,
and it is this opinion that will shortly
result in a formal demand upon the con-
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-09-21

tractors to file plans and take out a
permit for the new county Jail.
The new code demands of all who erect
buildings within the fire limits that they
shall be perfectly fireproof and if eX-
ceeding certain height shall be equipped
with life-saving Devices but the depart
ment in the absence of plans, has no
information to show that such require
ments are being complied with. Even the
cost of the jail, which Just now is large
ly problematical, is unknown.
Work was commenced on the building
about two months ago and the structure
is practically complete as far as the
foundation and basement is concerned.
BY the filing of the permit, the taXpay-
ing public would probably be able to as
certain the cost of the structure.
So far the board of school inspectors
has taken out permits for all new build
ings contemplated or in course of con-
struction and the department sees no
reason why the county should not be
compelled to do likewise.
1t is probable, in the event that work
on the building is stopped by the depart
ment, that an injunction will be asked
by the contractors to prevent Interior
erce. This will bring the matter properly
before the courts and settle a much dis
puted point, must the county conform
to the laws of the city?

PERMIT FOR CONDUIT
MANHATTAN LIGHT, HEAT AND
POWER COMPANY OBTAINS
VALUABLE FRANCHISE
COVERS LARGE TERRITORY
Consent to Privilege Granted Under
Franchise Granted to Smith
& Taylor Three
Years Ago.

The Manhattan Light, Heat and Power
company, acting under franchise grant
ed Smith & Taylor in 1898, yesterday
obtained permit to lay an underground
steam conduit across East Sixth street.
The conduit will connect with the plant
in the basement of the Manhattan build
ing at Fifth and Robert streets, and while
ostensibly for the purpose of supplying
heat to the Espy building, which is direct
ly opposite, really permits the company
to enter the business on heavy scale, to
the extent of supplying heat and power
to the entire block encompassed by
Robert, Seventh Jackson and Sixth
streets. Additional to this they already
supply much of the power, heat and light
used in the block of which the Manhat-
tan building is part.
The application for a permit was re-
fused by City Engineer Claussen until an
opinion had been received from the legal
department, which in it's answer held that
the company in making the demand was
acting clearly within it's rights.
The franchise granted to Smith &
Taylor in 1888 took in limited territory,
but this the Manhattan company at
tempted to increase year later. 1t was
defeated however, the mayor bringing
about it's downfall by his veto.
In addition to furnishing heat, the Man.
haitian supplies light to many buildings
along Robert street in the territory
bounded by Seventh street on the north,
and Third street on the south.
The presence of this limited franchise,
it is claimed, was largely responsible for
the one desired by the Endicott syndi-
cate, members of the council seeing In
it's passage the gobbling up of business
territory that would forbid active COM
petition when the franchise now held
by the gas company had run it's pre-
scribed term of years, which will be in
a few years.

BALLOON SMASHED AGAIN,
NJ. SantOs-Dumont Meets With An
other Mishap.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20,--The Paris edi-
ton of the Herald publishes additional
details concerning the latest smash of
the airship of M: Santos-Dumont. The
Herald says:
Santos-Dumont's balloon had a bad
smash. M. Santos-Dumont's destiny APP
pears to be success, followed by acct
dents. After catastrophes of July and
Aug. 15 it might be thought that i'll luck
had lasted long enough, and that hence
forth good luck in his experiments would
be unmiXed.
In the latest attempt the chances SEEM
ed entirely in his favor. There was no
wind, and the Siderable balloon was in
perfect shape. All the conditions so long
and patiently waited for appeared to be
combined. The aefonaut passed the night
at the Pavilion de Longchamps, close to
the balloon house, to take advantage of
the early morning hours and the favor
able condition so rare at this period of
the year. Starting from the Pare Cu
Aero station, he crossed the Seine with
out difficulty and Unanswered for an hour
with perfect success over the race course
at Longchamps Everything went as well
as could be desired, and M. Santos-Du-
mont decided to devote the entire day TO
his aeronautic experiments, reserving two
hours to making a call in the car at q
restaurant in the Bots for breakfast
But he was suddenly stopped from a
wholly insignificant cause. For some
minutes after observing that the ever
capricious petroleum motor was working
regularly, he remained near the center
of the race course in order to have a
place for coming to the ground in the
event of the motor stopping.
AS his friends gathered in a group at
ole end of the race course he directed
his course toward them to ask them to
come nearer the center. At this mo-
ment, when wheeling round at great
speed, like an automobile when turning
the corner of a street, the balloon was
driven against some high trees It's
cover brushed some branches slightly,
but enough to cause mischief. In an in
slant it was in ribbons, and it was COM
pletely emptied of its 62z cubic meters of
hydrogen.
The frame bearing the weight of the
motor broke as soon as it touched the
ground, but the aeronaut remained stand
ing in his car uninjured, in the midst of
splinters of wood and strips of torn silk
and a tangled web of steel and wire
