VIII Fellow.

The effect of electrolysis on the city
wafer mains and the best method of
escaping its effects will furnish the dis
cussion, at a special meeting Of the water
beard called for tor orrow. City En-
gineer Claussens report on the destruc-
tive qualities of electrolysis as far as it
relates to the water mains in ST. Paul is
now in the hands of Secretary Caulfield
and is responsible for the call issued.
The report, as was related in L h e
G o b e some days ago, is the most com
plete and complex of any investigation
ever undertaken and its publication and
consequent action by the board will
furnish the material for number of
suits that are promised in several of the
large cities. In fact applications have
been already filed for extra copies of the
report, showing that St. Paul is not alone
in trying to suppress this evil.
tits reasonably certain that the street
car company, which is held responsible
for the presence of escape electricity, and
its destructive effects on water mains and
connections, will not be asked to reim-
burSe the board for any loss that it has
sustained. Secretary Caulfeld says there
is no way of ascertaining the extent of
such loss except by exposing the network
of wires that underlies the streets, and
that is impossible.
Instead the street car company will be
asked to change its system of electrical
return, which will call for an additional
trolley or heavy return copper wire.
The right of cities to demand such has
already been sustained in number of
decisions handed down by the higher
courts and little trouble is expected in
bringing about the reform. The request
will be placed in the hands of Assistant
Corporation Attorney Stobbart. who at
tends to the boards legal business.

KEEN COLLEGE MEN.
The Food of Harvard Brain-WorlSers
and Athletes.

Memorial Hall at Harvard where some
ticularly interesting. The dining room is
an enormous gothic hall finished in old
English oak with wide. stained glass
windows on the sides. The walls are
hung with portraits of illustrious gradu-
ates and benefactors of past generations.
The students have good food to eat and
plenty OF it. The hall is run on CO.
operative plan so that it costs something
less than four dollars a week for board.
To this place three time a day come men,
whose lives for the time being are given
to serious intellectual work. and to ac.
eomplish this, they are keen enough to
realize that proper food is absolutely
necessary.
One is particularly struck by the yell
low packages of Grape-Nuts standing on
nearly every table which the men pur-
chase at grocery stores and bring in for
their personal use. They quickly find cut
by practical demonstration that brain
work exhausts the paosphates, and that
nature demands thatthis loss be made
up. and made up from food.
i1rape-Nuts is ready to be used without
cooking. it is a scientific food which
rourishes and builds up the brain, and is
particularly suited to the needs of
students.
The Varsity athletes also eat it to keen
their digestive organs in perfect working
order so that they can stand the great
strain OF both body aud head-work when
important contests shall come.

SAVED BY QUICK WORK
SOUTH ST. PAUL LABoRER MIGHT
HAVE LOST $1,000.

Quick and timely work on the part of
the police department yesterday after
noon undoubtedly saved Louis sylvester,
a laborer living at South st. Paul, from
being done out of $1,000 in cold cash.
Sylvester met two men Friday and was
induced to make a bet of $40 that he
could not produce 81 ,0G0 in cash yesterday.
The money was to be produced in a Ger
tain Darkroom in a downtown saloon.
Sylvester, not suspecting anything wrong.
and also unwilling to take Bluff Went
TO South St Paul yesterday morning and
drew his savings out of the bank He re-
turned to st. Paul and commenced look
ing for the men with whom he had made
the wager. The officials at the bank be-
came suspicious that something was
wrong when Sylvester drew out all his
money, and telephoned Chief O'Gonnor
what the man had done, and that he
gave as an excuse for so doing that he
was going to make a bet with some ST
Paul man. The chief Immediately in.
structed the city detectives to look for
Sylvester, and he was found by Detec-
tives Murnane and O'Brien on East Sew
enth street before he had succeeded in
finding the men with whom he had made
the wager.
He was taken to the central police sta
tion where he was closely questioned in
regard to the matter. His money was
kept at the station and he was given a
receipt He was told to come back tomor-
row morning. when his money would be
returned to him.. and he could deposit it
in the bank again.
The trick is an old one and has been
worked in other cities, the plan being to

ORIENTAL WONDERS
Massed In Endless Variety at 392
Wabasha Street.


Wabasha Street.
It would seem that the most obscure
places on earth have been ransacked to
make up the display of novelties that
are to be seen at 1892 Wabasha street.
The hand-carved Loving Chairs, of Leb-
anon cedar, inlaid with mother of pearl,
and the old brass novelties of Egypt lead
the visitor to believe the Orient has really
been reached.
Then the beautiful Silk and Camels-
hair Rugs of Turkey and Persia vie with
the beautiful Tapestries of France and
Japan for attention, and the many. an
tiQue lamps from the mosques of Afghan
istan, India and Syria help to make up
the weird deception.
The old firearms of Arabia and Persia,
by the side of the wonderfully hand
woven Silk Shawls of Japan, form de-
cided contrast.
The relics of the American Indian and
the Mexican drawn linen work appeal to
those born on the Western hemisphere
The carved Ivory and hand-painted
miniatures must receive their share of
the attention and praise by the caller.
Then the delicately painted China and the
inlaid, enameled vases make the mantel
and dressing table ornaments complete.
The public is indebted to Joseph Balesh
& Bros. for this wonderful display.

UNIONS ARE WRATHY
LOCAL LABOR MEN WROUGHT UP
OVER JUDGE KOHLSAAT'S
ORDER
HAS A BEARING ON ELECTION
They Think Such Things Have a
Tendency to CurtaiI the
Rights of La
Dor,

Local labor unions are bitter in de-
nouncing the action of Judge Kohlsaat,
of the United States district court in
Chicago granting an injunction against
the Custom Clothing Makers union re-
straining the officers and members from
in any way attempting to injure or inter-
fere with the business of a Cincinnati
clothing firm.
The firm asked that the union be re-
strained from issuing circulars stating
the firm was unfair to organized labor
The order granted forbids the officers of
the union to notify by letter, telegraph
or telephone any retailers, dealers in
clothing or labor unions that the en-
cinnati firm has refused to allow its
employees to organize or adopt the union
labor.
Labor leaders here say that no language
is too strong to use in denouncing Judge
KohlSaat and every court, firm or man
who sustains the action. They consider it
the most far-reaching order that has
ever been issued by any court of the
United States affecting labor organiza-
tons, and that it is the last step Which
can be taken before the assumption of
autocratic power by the courts and the
attempt to deprive citizens of the Unit
ed States of the right to free speech and
free thought
That an affirming of the opinion in the
state, and trouble resulting therefrom is
not to be expected, does not lessen the
injustice of the action in the minds &C
union men in ST. Paul. They say it is a
serious blow to organized labor, and that
if it is sustained and followed the COM
plete humiliation of all labor unions will
be effected, and laboring men will have
no protection against unjust employers.
A prominent local labor leader was par
ticularly bitter in his comments on Judge
kohlsaatis action. He said:
1t is the most outrageous thing that
has ever happened. can hardly speak
about it. 1t seems to me that the next
step will be to restrain man from say
ing what he thinks. 1t will put an ond
to organized labor, if l realize the signif-
icance of the order.
There's one thing that it will accom-
plish, though. 1t will be the cause of the
election of a president congress and
state officers who viii recognize the just
claim of labor organizations.
There are more Republicans among
the members of labor unions than men of
other political views. There are more
Republicans than there are in any other
organization. The labor unions have elect
ed the president the last two elections.
The unions will vote next time for the
man who will be just to labor, regard
less of his political views. The time has
come when such action is necessary 10

board eff control and as such within the
provisions of the title of the act estab-
fishing the board of control.
Upon that point both Chief Justice
Start and Judge Collins expressed them
selves far enough to satisfy me that
their opinion viii be that the schools are
not charitable institutions, and l cannot
see how any other conclusion can be
reached by the judges.
The case as submitted, therefore. is
whether the act establishing the board
of control is constitutional so far as it
refers to the normal board.
If the court decides in favor of the
board of control the latter will have the
undisputed right to manage the finances
of the normal schools.
If the normal board wins the board of
control will have absolutely nothing to
say regarding the conduct of the schools.

sion. the decision will also take the man
