Last evening Rev. and Mrs. Stone

at the parsonage. Unfortunately, the
inclement weather prevented many
from being present. To those who
gathered, soon after s o'clock, in Mrs.

conversation had been allowed. Mr..
Stone qulzzed the crowd as to their
knowledge OF the Bible personages
and quotations. They all did wonder
fully well, especially one person pres
ent who earned the title of Walking
Encyclopedia from the different char
acter of his knowledge. But 1t was
on the quotations that the guests dis

required to relate who said it?There's
the rub. II is so exasperating that

ARHORY IS IN A TANGLE
RESOLUTION FOR APPROPRIATI0N
IS MET WITH OPPOSITION.

One of the most important matters to
come up at the meeting of the assembly
this evening viii! be the resolution bind
ing the city to pay $4,000 a year for fifteen
years consequent upon the erection OF
new armory building.
The proposition has a number of sup
porters in the assembly, but opposition
is developing, and it is possible that the
resolution may be rejected unless amend
ed to suit the few who think the city is
not getting all that it should.
Opposition mainly hinges on the fact
that Sec, ,000 will be expended in the fifteen
years proposed and at the end the city
will have nothing to show for the amount
beyond the housing of the national guard.
The erection of an armory under such an
inviting proposition, they say, is an op
portunity that most any one would grasp
and in view of that fact think some con-
cession should be made. The committee
who are pushing the matter say the
resolution will pass despite the opposi-
ton.
While the matter received approval at
the meeting of the assembly committee
on streets Monday, it is said their action
was without authority, as the resolution
was really killed at the last meeting of
the assembly When it came up for con-
sideration in the assembly, it was sent
to the committee on streets, but one of
the supporters. fearful OF it's defeat,
moved a reconsideration of the vote and
put up the resolution for immediate pas
sage. The motion to pass without COM
mittee approval was lost and without
further notice of the matter adjournment
was taken. So as to avoid any mistakes
1t is possible that the minutes will be
amended at the meeting this evening.

FEW TOOK OUT LICENSES
DECREASE IN CITY'S REVENUE
FROM THIS SOURCE.

Failure to enforce the ordinances re-
Quiring the licensing of hacks. peddlers,
stands and other lines of business amena-
bic to the law is responsible for a
heavy decrease in the license fees re-
ceived by City Clerk Jensen during the
past year.
In 1899 over s313,0G was received While
the amount this year is only slightly in
excess of $30S, 900. The discrepancy is
easily found when it Is shown that dur
ing the year only four hacks out of tie
several hundred in the city We're accom-
niodated with. the necessary license to
allow them to do business, while in other
lines the decrease is equally apparent.
OF hotel runners only five secured
badges, six stands, twenty-nine paddiers
and twelve vehicle peddlers paid the fees
required while only two auctioneer5 regis
tered, Of drays, express wagons and
trucks no one is mentioned in the list
as compiled by the city clerk.
Tags and badges to be used in connec-
ton with all lines of licenses issued by
the city are on sale at the Office of fhe
city clerk, but few of them have been
called for, in fact a string OF such badges,
intended for hacks and their drivers
were never distributed. All of those
in use are of an old date and never have
been removed.
A list of all persons and property
aTnenabIe to the license laws is now be-
ing compiled and preparations will be
commenced as soon as the list is com
pleted to enforce the ordinances to the
letter Heretofore when approaching
election time the license ordinances have
not been enforced, but the discrepancy
in the receipts are too large to allow
continuance.

ly sweetness of tone and the spiritual
quality of the singers voice was most
marked. Miss Gordon and Mr. Hamlin
sang two duets, 81 AMIGO Fritz" Mascag-
nj and the balcony scene from Gounods
Romeo and Juliet" The two voices
blend admirably Miss Gordon has more
dramatic expression, although, perhaps,
Mr.. Hamlin's art is broader The ''Ro-
meo and Juliet duet was, from an artis-
tic standpoint. the most satisfying num-
Der on the programme. Although Miss
Gordon was suffering from a severe cold
yesterday her voice triumphed over this
physical disability and she was able to
carry out the part of the programme with
the exception of two solos and for those
Mr.. Hamlin substituted. Many compli-
mentary adjectives have been used to
describe Miss Gordon''s voice. 1t is a
beautiful suprano that training has pol
ished and that the quick insight and
made living" Miss Gordon sang the
tragic story of Schoen Gretlein from
"Eine Tragoedie,'' Won Fielitz. with feel
ing and finish, the singer proving herself
entirely equal to the dramatic finale.
Mr.. Oberhoffer added to the success
of the programme by his musicianly
work as accompanist.

NOT FOR TIE WORKHOUSE
THE COUNTY PRISONERS MUST BE
HOUSED ELSEWHERE.

The board of county commissioners will
meet this afternoon to consider the pro-
position of housing the prisoners while
the new jail is<being built
The special committee consisting of
Commissioners Lott, Hardick and Gay,
accompanied by Sheriff-eiect Justus, cali
ed on the workhouse commissioners at
their meeting at the Windsor hotel yes
terday forenoon for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning whether or not they would con-
sent to keep the prisoners at the work
house. After the committee had stated
its errand the Workhouse commissioners
retired into executive session. After be-
ing behind closed doors for some time
the workhouse commissioners reported
that they could not grant the request as
they had no legal authority to care for
prisoners under contract. W. P. Muir
ray, of the workhouse board, explained
that the boards appropriation was also
growing low, and tnat even if the coun-
ty paid literally for it's prisoners, the
money would have to be turned over
to the city and the workhouse board
would be out of pocket
AS the result of the above 1t is very
likely that the special committee OF
county commissioners will recommend to
the commissioners today the plan of pro-
viding for the prisoners in temporary
cells in the old library rooms on the top
floor of the court house. If this plan is
found too costly the judges of the district
court will order the prisoners sent either
to Saltwater Or the Hennepin county jail.

TWO MEN HAVE ALREADY VOLUN-

PART OF 1T
BUT sossONG IS VERY WEAK
And May Not Live to Stand the
Experiment That Is Deemed
Necessary to Save
BUT sossoNG IS VERY WEAK

Two men have volunteered to furnish
the necessary skin, in case the graft
ing operation is performed on Nicholas
J. Sossong, at the city hospital Sossong
was badly burned with nitric acid SIX
weeks ago and has shown vitality that
has startled local physicians He lost
eighteen square inches of epidernis, but
the hospital physicians were puzzled as
TO where they should secure it. Two men
have now come forward, and offered to
become real heroes, as neither are ac-
Guainted with the man.
1t was stated at the hospital last even
ing that such an operation was doubt
full of ever being performed, as but little
hope is entertained for the recovery OF
Sussong. The loss of skin has proved
q great drain on his remarkable vital
ity, and he is now constantly growing
weaker, and 1t is believed that his days
are nearly numbered.
