AND THEY LIVE
ON COURT STREET
Miss Consewitz Wanted to Get Mar.
ried But She Also Wanted
Dress A Stickler on Custom.

In the Bertha Galland show last
night one of the actor women gave
another OF the actor women a jim
cracker dress, all spangles and gold.
and the other actor woman thereat t
awoke with u gladstone start from u
long continued lethargy of unhappi-
ness. Thereupon the one actor woman
said: when Satan tempted Eve it
must have been with a dress and not
an apple Whereat there was rip
pie of concurrent applause.
Three weeks ago The Tribune told
Of the tale Of Il young Russian-Pole
woman who after receiving from her
iiance her wedding gown consisting of
a cercse satin waist and canary silk
skirt refused to marry him until he
sued to recover the dress, and she was
confronted with the alternative of Civ
ing up the dress or taking the man.
Yesterdays Tribune printed under
the head Of Marriage Licenses the
following couDlet:
William kinoytys... o66 Court street
Anna Conse ewitz. .5O4 Court street
This mornings Tribune in the same
department prints the following:
Joseph Bolynas. .1il7 Nay Aug avenue
Anna COnsewitz. .50i Court street
There are not two Anna Consewitz' S
at 504 Court street.
AS is indicated above. it is Il custom
among the Russian Poles for the
groom: To furnish the brides wedding
dress. kinoytys knew this custom
well, but as his bride-to-bc was only
seventeen and an orphan, he felt he
could induce her to get married in her
everyday clothes. But he reckoned with
out Anna's brother, her guardian. The
brother had willingly given the re-
quired consent to his sisters marriage,
but he couldn't stand for her marrying
a man who was wanting in money or
gumpt0n sufficient to observe the
customs Of their people.
Bolynas happened to be present at
the Consewitz house Wednesday night,
when the disclosure came that
knoytys could not nr would not buy
his bride to-be Il wedding gown. Here,
to Bolynas, was the psychological mo-
ment. Marry me and I'll buy you Il
dress and nice red, green and yellow
silk shawl for your head" said Boly-
mas.
Her eyes wandered from Kinoytys to
l5olynas TO her brother. The latter
smiled approvingly on the Bolynas
proposition. Iolynas looked at her
entreatinsly She surveyed first
Kinoytys and then Bolynas and then
sized them up together as il mentally
weighing KinoytyS against Bolynas
and the promised togsery.
The tossery won. With Il 'low glad
cry of joy she threw herself into
the arms of Bolynas and softly whis-
pered ".rzchki chzyksczy Kschzy-

Yesterday morning. Anna ana her
brother We're again al Clerk Rosars

them Was Bolynas. They explained
how Kmoytys had failed in the prime,
essential ondition-orecedent to a
Russian-POlish wedding, and asked if
they could have the license exchanged.
Clerk Rosar explained that this was
impossible but il they choose they
might get as many new licenses as
they had dollars. They took one for
the present and Went away to make q
round of the dry goods stores.

|. .aaskIMTE'S TITLE NOT CLEAR.

Special Agents Griffin of Duluth,
Thorpe of St. CLOUD and Parks of
Wisconsin, of the United States
general land office, each of whom
has been in charge of crew of men
since september, investigating elev-
en- townships of st. Louis county
lands claimed by the state as swamp
lands, have made their first report,
finding that 271 forties claimed by
the state as swamp lands do not
come within the terms under which
the state can properly lay claim to
them. Governor Van SAINT has been
notified, and will be given an op-
portunity to defend the states
claim in hearing ordered by the
St. Cloud land office for Jan. 70. Be-
fore the work in st. Louis county is
completed, it is estimated that be-
tween 10000 and 10000 acres will be
returned to the federal government.
1t is said that the land bears evil
dence of having valuable mineral
deposits, but that it is almost value
less for agricultural purposes.

IRON ORE FIND IS VALUlBLE

The valuable find of iron ore re-
ported on state land near Hibbing
is in the northeast quarter of 1851
Fl. A deposit of merchantable ore.
estimated in the present state of in
complete development of explora-
tory work at from 100000 to 5,000,-
coo tons, has been shown up. One
interesting fact about the property
is that it is on part of the 10000
acres of land that was decreed
through error by the United States
court to the Duluth & Iron Range
road. 1t was land that was claim
ed by the state and an adjustment
of the matter will, it is expected, be
reached. AS the state would derive
a royalty of 25scents ton from the
ore, the quarter section becomes an
object of much interest. The hold
ers of the lease from the state are
Hibbing men, but the exploration
has been conducted by Duluth men.
E. S. Palmer, J. +. Hale and J. T.
Michaud, and others are interested

Strong On Ceases.
State Auditor Dunn Issues 356
State Mineral Leases
The Past Year.
BEST RECORD SINCE 1892.

State Auditor Dunn's books show
some interesting figures as regards
iron ore prospecting on state lands
in Minnesota. The year ending
July 81 witnessed the largest record
of mineral leases and contracts
since 1892. The books show total
of 283 prospectors' leases and 4S
contracts for development of mines
on lands of the commonwealth.
The total cash returns were $13,529.
In 1892, the year following the ex-
tensive discoveries of iron ore on
the Mesaba range, 1,O51 leases were
take. out, but only about one third
of them resulted in development
contracts. In the next five years
only seven contracts were consum-
mated. With the return of good
times the states mineral lands
were again in demand, and in 1900
forty-seven contracts were issued.
The whole number of mining de-
velOpment contracts made is 412, Of
which 80 are still in force and these
are expected to return to the state
at least $3,0O0,0W in royalties.

BEtfIME PROFIT SHlRERS,

All the employees of the United
States Steel corporation eventually
may become proft-sharers to linn
tied extent in the earnings of that
concern. 1t has been intimated
that the system of dividends about
to be adopted by the concern for
the employees of it's lake steamers is
only the beginning of policy
which will have the effect of max
ing all the employees financially in.
terested in the corporations:
Should an extended profit-sharing
system be adopted by the com pa Az
it is expected to solve many of the
labor problems. 1t is hoped to in
terest all personally in the earnings
and prosperity of the concern and
in that way prevent strikes and
other labor disturbances, While it
is not expected that sweeping pro.
tit-sharing plan will be adopted i'm
mediately, it is understood that
such a change will be brought
about gradually.
BY the recent announcement of
General Manager Wolvin, of the
Pittsburg Steamship company, the
lake marine branch of the steel cor
poration, the Captains and chief en-
gineers of the steamers soon will
receive an extra sum of money
equal 10 10 per cent of their regular
salaries. The money will be paid
CAS- dividend, based on the merit
of the men," The first payment
will affect about 800 men, but the
system is expected to be extended
to fully 1000 more employees of the
steamship company within a few
months.
Those familiar with the workings
of the internal affairs of the steel
corporation declare General Mana
ger Wolvin has been directed to
make the experiment in his indus
try with view of extending it to
all the constituent companies.
Should the policy gradually be
extended until it included all en-
ployes over 125OOO men would be
benefited.
