Famous Young Actor to Be Cast in
Familiar Old Part

Wilton Laclzaye is to appear as Uncle
Tom in Brady's forthcoming production
of Uncle Toms Cabin and the clever
young actor is dead in earnest, and pro-
poses to give the part very careful
study. Mr. Lackaye is a Washingto-
MAN, and although he may not have
seen real old slaves, he has seen many
darkies who would fit the Uncle Tom
type exactly. At any rate, Mr. Lack
aye, like a good many southerners, has
never read Mrs. Stoves book, nor has
he seen any of the great actors who
have played the part and when the play
IS produced at the Academy of Music
next month his part, at least. will be
original After the New York run the
play is to be lifted bodily to the new
King Edward theater, in London.

Walter Damrosch overcomes Them in
New York.

Walter Damrosch, the orchestra
leader, has won his contest in New
York with the encore iends-
Artists were called out again and
again and still again, but they con-
tinued smiling and bowling like so many
musical nandarins, aInicabIe to a degree
in courtesy, but without another aria
more than those set down in the pro-
gramme-
In these discouraging circumstances
bargain-counter music lovers are be-
coming disheartened, says a New York
paper, while the honest folk who appre-
ciate art. are cheered up. The warfare
between encorists and the man with the
iron jaw are irritating, but not so de-
pressing as a return of the ancient sys-
tenn which Mr. Damrosch has crushed.
The opera concerts now may be enjoyed
with c0mposure.

READY FOR HOLIDAYS
PRICES IN PRODUCE MARKET
WILL ADVANCE THIS
WEEK
SUPPLY SEEMS TO BE AMPLE
Dealers in All Lines Are Stocking
Up in Anticipation of HoI-
iday Rush = Apples
Still Climbing.

AS the holiday season approaches each
wear prices in the produce market usually
advance on account of the increased de-
rnal1d fer supplies. Thus far, however,
tnere has been no particular advance in
any line. but prices are generally Stiffen-
ing preparatory to the raise which Will
likely be made next week. st. Paul mat
ket is supplied by shipments from the
neighborirg country, and the raise viii
not occur until a day or two before
Thanksgiving, when a rush of orders will
come in, and the supply Will be short of
the demand. Here the packing stock does
not figure in supplying the local market
as it does in the Eastern cities, and sud
den advances are more likely to occur.
The past week has been a good one in
the produce market. Prices have been
getting stronger each day, but no I'M
usual advances have occurred during the
week. There has been good supply of
all kinds of vegetables that are in the
market, but the demand has been great
enough to consume ali that has been Of
feredA for sale.
Fruit dealers are wondering how high
the price Of apples is going to soar this
winter. The best quality of apples are
now worth as much as oranges, and 1T is
quite probable that before spring arrives
they will be worth as much as the stand
ard fruit from the South. Southern and
Southwestern fruits are reasonably cheap
owing to the good crops that We're raised
in those sections.
Fish markets are wef1 supplied with
the kinds that are usually on sale at this
season. Frozen fish are beginning to ar
rive and will be plentiful for some time
yet to come. Oysters are on the market
IN liberal quantities and are selling at
reasonable prices. Below is list of this

.DEARTH HAS SCHEME
ENDEAyoRING TO MAKE COMA
MES INSURING RAILROAD
PROPERTY PAY TAAES
HANDLED BY TWO sYNDIcATEs
Tremendous Policies Are Written
and Reinsured-Wants to Collect
ON Business Done in
Minnesota.

With a view to requiring the companies
by which railroad property is insured
to pay the state tax on that portion of
the property which is located in this
state, Insurance Commissioner Dearth
has made quite extensive Investigations
as to the manner of placing that class
of insurance. He has learned that the
insurance of nearly all of the. large rail-
road companies IN the country is placed
through an Eastern syndicate of insur-
ance companies, the headquarters of
which is New York, and a Western syn
dictate whose headquarters is Chicago
These syndicates comprise most of the
largest companies, and the business is
handled in bulk through the syndicates
the constituent companies carrying
nearly all of it. An idea of the magni-
tude of these transactions may be gain
ed from the fact that the Northern Pa
cific recently made one contract for Sl4,-
100000 of insurance.
The syndicate as such writes one pol
icy covering a schedule of the entire
property of a railroad company, which
schedule is carefully itemized as to de-
scription and location of the property
The syndicate then reinsures the prop
erty in its constituent companies, and
business is transferred from one of the
syndicates to the other
The means by which it is planned to
reach these companies in the enforce
ment of the Minnesota state tax is the
law which requires that Minnesota busi-
ness shall be written through resident
agents. Practically all of the companies
included in both of the syndicates are
licensed to do business in this state, and
are, therefore, readily amenable to the
laws

DR.. WALDENSTROM HERE
DISTINGUISHED SWEDISH ORATOR
WILL SPEAK IN AUDITORIUM
He Is Gifted Linguist, Profound
Scholar and an Able States
man-GOes to Minneap-
oils Tonight.

The Rev. Dr. Paul P. Waldenstrom, of
Sweden, professor of Hebrew and Greek
in the Gefie college, Sweden, for more
than twenty years member of the Swed-
ish rikstag, will address a st. Paul audi
ence at the Auditorium this morning. DR..
Waldenstrom came to this country In
company with Bishop Won Scheele to at
tend the exercises at Yale and since
that time has been travelling through the
United States and speaking at different
points. The reception this morning will
be under the auspices of the Swedish
churches of the city, and the distinguish
ed guest will address the gathering.
While the doctor is prominent in church
circles in his own country, he is equally
so in the affairs of the government. He
has interested himself largely in temper
ance work, and the earnestness he has
always displayed in causes he has espous-
ed has earned him large following and
enabled him to get through the Swedish
legislature several important laws regu-
lating the drink habit
One of his greatest efforts has been
along the line of abolishing the treating
habit, and he has been successful in get
ting laws enacted prohibiting the custom
in number of the larger towns of his
country.
He has not confined himself alone to
this movement, but has been instrument
al in securing much legislation for the
betterment of all classes in his country
This evening in Minneapolis there will
be union services of all the Swedish
churches at the exposition building, at
which time the doctor will speak of the
temperance movement in Sweden as COM
pared to the progress made by the party
advocating the cause in this country
thanksgiving the doctor will spend in
Duluth and will speak there along the
same lines.

FOR SNOW SOON
so FAR NOVEMBER HAS FUR
NIsHED AVERAGE AUTUMN
WEATHER
NO TEMPERATURE EXTREMES
Amount of snow Falling Every year
Seems to Decrease. but Precip-
itation Remains About
the Same.

Frequently the remark Is heard that the
good old times when snow used to cover
the ground from November until the
middle of April are becoming vague rem
iniScences, and that the glory of the
traditional winter mas passed. This is,
in a measure true but an examination
of the records preserved by P. F. Lyons,
United States forecast officials, shows that
the total precipitation does not vary
much from winter to winter. 1t is the
snow that is diminishing, not the amount
of moisture received from the skies.
So far the present November has not
done much to uphold the credit Of the
month for snow, as the beautiful was
seen only once, and then it disappeared
after fieeting visit of a few hours. In
the year 1886 there was literally snow to
burn. 1T came in November, when there
was fall amounting to 1876 inches, and
it remained on the ground until well into
the following spring.
Then there was a falling off until 1896,
when November came to the front with
a fall of IA inches, which was repeated in
1898, the coolest all-rounG winter in the
last thirty years. Last November was a
respectable one for snow, the registered
fall amounting to something over inch
es. 1t disappeared early. though, and the
winter as a whole, was one of the barest
seen in many years.
In the matter of temperature the month
has been an average one, no great ex-
tremes in either direction being recorded.
The highest temperature has been 81
degrees, and the lowest 13, IS degrees be-
low freezing point. Last year the high
est point recorded on the government
self-registering thermometer in Novem-
Der was 62 degrees, and the other extreme
W in tai ho n a ~ Yn9 "
be expressed by saying that last year
there were one day with temperature
of 60, two between so and 60, three be-
tween 40 and so, twelve between sc and
40, eleven between 20 and 80, and one on
which the mercury did hot get above Is.
This year there have been two days on
which higher than so has been seen,
seven between 40 and so, eight between
80 and 40, four between 20 and &c. and one
On which less than 20 was recorded.
In 1875, Nov. Is. saw the temperature
last thirty-one years. In 1880 there was
one day of u.s. and in 1887, 20 was
reached once, and in 1872 there was dip
to IA.
While nothing can be predicted with
safety concerning next month, 1t may
behooye amateur weather prophets to re-
member that the coolest day but one ever
seen in st. Paul came in December.
That was the Christmas day Of 1879, and
this extreme was only exceeded by the
Al of Jan. 81, 1883.
Last year the coolest day in December
saw the thermometers pointing to 10,
and during the whole winter rs was not
seen once.
General indications just now, however,
point TO disturbances early this week,
and Mr.. Lyons says he would not be
surprised to see a thick layer of snow on
the ground by Thanksgiving morning.

CLAIMS ARE MANY
COUNCIL WILL BE DELAYED WITH
REQUESTS FOR APPRO-
PRIATIONS
EAST END TO ASK FOR $4,000
From Present Prospects the Coun-
Gil Will Increase Next Years
budget to the Extent
of $25O,OOO.

East side residents are preparing to
descend in force upon the council when
1t meets next month, and insist that it
insert in next years budget an appro-
priation for a new bridge over the
Omaha tracks on Arcade street. One en-
thusiast figures that 900 will be suf
ficient, but the engineering department is
positive all of $4,000 will be necessary
to cover the cost.
To satisfy all the claims now in, and
those expected when the council takes
up the consideration of the budget, it is
estimated that fully 1000 will be nee
Asary, and as each has the backing of
BONE particular official who sees defeat
in store for him at the next election
unless he succeeds, 1t is expected that a
goodly portion of the amount will go
through.
The conference committee refused to
provide for additional ground to the
present market site, giving as a reason
that the present area was sufficient but
lts refusal will not be permitted to stop
The Insertion of an amount sufficient to
at least accommodate a hay market.
Dealers in this article are confined to
the vicinity of Sixth and Broadway, and
they are now petitioning the aldermen
for stamping ground that is more suit
ed to their wants. Not less than 600
will be necessary to complete this onc
Improvement.
Good roads advocates are preparing to
ask for an amount to take care of streets
that intersect the several county roads
on the ground that their present condi-
ton is barrier to country trade. The
West side would get a goodly portion of
this amount if an appropriation is made.
On the basis of the amount returned by
the conference committee, the tax for
next year will be about $25 per 81, 900 val
uation, just l mill less than last year.
Economists hold that If the majority of
the claims now being made are acceded
to, the levy will reach close to $50.

Several Permits - Revenue

siderable.


While there are no complete figures at
hand on which to- base on estimate, 1t IS
figured that during the past ten months
100000 has been invested In buildings
and fixtures for saloon purposes. This
by no means includes the stock placed
in these buildings when they were opened
to the public.
What is being done In respect to this
class of buildings is shown in the issu>
aEce by the building department during
the past three days Of as many permits,
all for saloon structures and all the prop
erty of the Schhtz Brewing company.
The locations in each instance are among
the choicest building sites in st. Paul,
while the buildings that cover them will
represent when completed, an expen-
diture of nearly $4,000. This does not in
clude the furnishings, which should not
cost a cent less than $1,000
