northwest has applied to the District Com
missioners for permission to pay pro rata
license as auctioneer located on premises at
the West End market, the southwest cor
ner of 22d and P streets northwest. Mr.
Waggaman states that some time ago he
applied for permission to reconstruct a
platform to be used in the auctioneering
business at the location indicated, but the
same was denied.
my manager was assured verbally" he
says, that we would be allowed to dis
play the goods on the sidewalk within the
fourfoot limit. We have recently been Or
dered to cease this display, and it Is con-
sequently impossible to carry on our BUSH
ness. I would therefore respectfully re-
license pro rata for the time we were IN
business May 10 to June Fl"
w. p. Montague, assistant assessor Of
the District, has reported adversely upon
the matter, saying:
VERY early in the month Of May Mr.
Charles e. Banes with John F. Wagga-
MANI applied for an auctioneer's license at
the southwest corner of 22d and P streets,
$50. AS there was no bond filed the license
was not issued. 1t was not until June 4
that bond was filed by Mr.. Banes, signed
by John F. Waggaman and Chas. E. Banes
trading under the firm name of the West
End Storage and Auction Company It was
approved by the Commissioners and return
ed to this office. Mr.. Banes was notified
twice by telephone and once by letter,
dated June 8, to send check by mail. Not
receiving any reply, two inspectors were
sent, and witnessed auction sales by an
agent of the firm A warrant was sworn
| out in the Police Court June 25. The case
was called yesterday morning, but neither
of the defendants appeared.
"The law says that an auctioneer's license
| shall date from the first Of the month in
which the liability began, and expire on
the 31st of October following. They con-
Quoted an auction business in May and I
know Of no authority to accept pro rata
amount for license the issue Of which
Is clearly prescribed by law"
Commissioner Ross has moved that the
writer be informed in accordance with the
report of the assistant assessor.

LIOU1D-AIR MARVELS.
Beefsteak Which Smasles II Droppe0
Ice Made Hard Enough to
Cut Glass,

A Paris correspondent says that
NJ. d'Arsonval lately gave q success
full demonstration at the museum of.
natural history Of the qualities of
liquefied air. BY enormous pressures;
he reached temperature of minus
$50 centigrade. The liqueaed air was
contained in q double-sized silver
covered bottle, and did not evapor-.
ate. Experiments with the India
rubber bottles showed that they be-
came as hard and brittle as glass.
The rubber could be pulverized, but
became elastic again when the air
was evaporated.
NJ. d'Arsonval showed;.a beefsteak
dipped in liquefied air, and then let
IL fall on the floor, when it sounded
like stone and broke in pieces. Il
was eventually reduced to pink
powder easy to masticate and assim-
ilate, likely to be Of important serv-
ice to hospitals. Ice dipped in lique-
fed air cut glass like a diamond.
mercury became hard as anthony.
Metals, especially steel, had their
qualities increased tenfold by the
application Of liquefied air. Conduct
ing wires could be reduced to hairs
breadth in thickness and remain ~
strong as enormous cables.
Liquefied air cannot, however. do
anything to preserve meat, as it il
no way antiseptic and will not kill
microbes. Moreover, it is now five
times dearer than ice. Nor can it be
used for motor carriages nor SUBJ
marine boats, because when heated
it is such q powerful explosive that
no metal yet known could resist ito
shocks. M. d'Arsonval warned tho
French public to beware of COM
panics collecting money for preserv-'
ing meat or propeAing motors BY
liquefied air. Personal Investigation
showed that such experiments must
necessarily end IN failure. .,,z, 81

HAS LOTS OF NERVE,
Daring Illinois Girl to Build q
Home on Pixies Peak. y
Miss Lizzie Wallace, Of Adair, Ill.,
Is Chuck Full of Romantic No
lions and Fully Determined to
Become u Mountain Nccluse.

Miss Lizzie G. Wallace, a pretty
young woman of Adair, ILL.,, is going to
make herself home on Pixies peak,
and brave all the terrors and horrors
of life so far above the ordinary NOR
tai. She seems to be possessed OF lots
of nerve as we'll us goodly amount OF
muscle, gained especially for this un-
usual undertaking by years rigid
training in an eastern gymnasium.
Just now that is her particular stock
in trade, coupled with a short bicycle
suit, wheel and small amount OF
money left her by an old aunt who
raised this aspiring young woman to
the height she deemed necessary both
in stature and social standing, but the
iesire to live whole summer on the
top of the peak in house built by
her own hands shows that the ward
wants to be raised still further.
She proposes to have a sort OF
roughly constructed dwelling of huge,
irregular stones, piled together heter-
generously, and, of course, made
with an eye for sufficient comfort and
protection from the fierce storms
which sweep the sides of the peak. The
experience is not without an element
of danger, for the records of the Unit
ed States signal service tell of a hor-
rible week spent by Sergt. O'Keefe
while holding the station in the capac-
ity of observer. Mountain rats, great,
huge, bristly things. the size of porcu-
pines are said to haunt these rocks,

In New Hampshire Mr.. Sulloway is

of conviction, did their best to earn
the money, and the jury did not seem
to be taking as much interest in the
lawyers argument as he thought
they should. With indignation in his
voice and fire in his eye, Sulloway
went after the witnesses:

KAISER ORDERS sAUERKRAUT.
Tens OF American Delicatessen Win
Be Sent to the German Army
in China,

To the long list of triumphs
achieved by Philadelphia manufac'
turers during the last few months
there was added recently one that
is likely to create in Germany almost
as great q feeling of commercial in.
dignation as was inspired in Eng
land when contracts for British
bridges and locomotives were award.
ed to American contractors. I'm
short, the German government,
which has been so inimical to the
interests of expatriated American
hogs, has just placed with Phila.
delphia firm an order for 2,400 tons
of sauerkraut, which is to be sent to
the kaiser's army in China.
For many years there was dispo.
sition on the part of the Germans liv.
ing in this country to regard Amer
ican-made sauerkraut as inferior to
the German product, says the Phifa-
delphia Press. As q result Of this
preference, sauerkraut was for =
long time imported in very large
quantities from Germany. This was
sold in the American market in larga
tins and earthenware jars at prices
considerably in excess OF those
charged for the domestic product.
In the course of the last three years,
however, Germans generally have
come to recognize the fact that great
improvements in the American meth
DDS of manufacturing sauerkraut
rendered it far superior to that inn
ported from abroad. Accordingly
the demand for German sauerkraut
has been rapidly diminishing, and
at the same time domestic manufac-
turers have been in receipt of con-
stantly multiplying orders from Ger
many. Despite these facts, however.
the order for 2,40o tons which has
just been placed by the Ger
man government mas occasioned not
little surprise to American manu-
facturers.
The large order will be shipped
west in few days and no less than
eight freight cars will be required
to transport it.

paper baskets, etc., went flying In the
air and many members joined the pages
in wild yells. This preciptate action
on the part of the house brought grief
to great many.
The house had absolutely completed
all the business that was before it, and
no new business was ready unless it
was ordered from the table, but the
senate was in session with good many
senate bills under consideration SO if
the house had taken a recess for half
an hour instead Of adjourning, there
would have been considerable business
sent over from the senate. The ad-
journment killed, at one fell swoop,
every senate bill pending in that body.
While this was going on the senate
had decided to call the roll, and as each
senator's name was called allow him to
take up one bill and endeavor to pass
it. After the house had adjourned
there was no use of calling up anything
but pending house bills, and the sem
ate, indignant at the action of the
house, did not seem to care whether
any house measures were passed or not.
The roll of the senate had been about
half called when the house adjourned,
and from that time bedlam reigned SUI
preme. When q senator's name was
called and he arose to name his bill, he
was bombarded with wads of paper,
books, waste paper baskets, and even
cuspidors, SO that sometimes it was five
minutes before he could name his bill.
The. roll call that followed was amid
noise and confusion, the air being liter
ally filed with flying sheets and print
ed bills and other missiles. Several ef-
forts were made to adjourn before the
names of all the senators had been
called, but they were voted down. Sen
ator Young's name was reached at i've
minutes to IL, actual time, but he had
no bill to offer, and then the senate i'm
mediately adjourned. Taken as
whole, it was the most boisterous night
ever seen in a Minnesota legislature.
The meeting of the legislature yes
terday was, as usual, only a perfume
tory affair: All bills must be enrolled
and signed by the officers of both
houses before the legislature adjourns,
and consequently time was simply
killed by speeches and offering of reso-
lutions, to enable the enrolling clerks
to finish their work. In the senate an
effort was made to pass the park me-
mortal to congress, asking for nation
al park in the Cass lake region, but the
Duluth senators were too strong and
killed it.
In the house the exciting episode was
an effort to expunge from the records
the resolution censuring Representa-
tives jacobson and Washburn for &C.
cusing members of corruption in con-
nection with the gross earnings bill
This was opposed by Representative
Laybourn of Duluth, who had offered
the resolution, and he won, so that the
resolution stands on the journal. The
speaker was thanked by resolution, and
the newspapers also, and at 1880 an
adjournment sine die was taken.
