There will be no lord mayors show at
the Bijou or any public place other than
the. council chamber IN, the old city hall,
Monday Afternoon. If the incoming
mayor wants to make q Speech before
the aldermen, he, can find them in the
council chamber that afternoon, willing
to extend him the courtesy ,of hearing.
The present city council at It's meeting
last night. went on record by vote
of q to against assembling at the
Bijou theater Monday afternoon to trans
act any of the cty's business. Aid Main
alone voted. against. Aid. .Peterson's mo-

There was some discussions After Aid
Main had reported Manager Hays offer
of the -Bfjou theater4 Aid. Powers said
there were two reasons why the council
might adVanta geouslys meet, at the Bijou.
First; 1t would do away with the neceS-
sity of sitting for four or. five hours in a
big cloud of tobacco smoke, and, second,
1t would giyeRtte many friends of the
candidates for. city offices a chance to
witness the election by the council.
At this juncture Aid. Rand inquired Of
City Attorney Healy:
"Is there any law warranting or re-
curing an inaugural ceremony"
No, sir, replied Mr. Heafy.
Aid. Jones reminded the council that
those responsible for the suggestion that
the council meet at theater to transact
the city's business had mixed two dis
tinct MAJ GERS, to wit: The, business of
the council and the Inauguration of the
mayor, between which there is no con-
nection. On mature. elaboration, Aid.
Jones thought that the regular business
of the council should be- transacted in
the council chamber
Aid. Petersen agreed with Aid Jones.
Moreover, he couldn't see why the in
auguration of the mayor should not take
place in the council chamber, as previous
ceremonies of that character had, and he
moved it be held there. ~ 7fif
City Attorney Healy advised the coun-
ell that it could not forestall the act:o
of the new council, whereupon the mo-
tIon was SO amended as to merely recon-
mend to the new council the action de-
sired.
1t prevailed as stated by a vote of. p
to l.
While the council was engaged turn
ing down the mayor-eiect. he was en-
gagged In holding a sofree at his O.
fee. on Third street. last, ievening. It
was an invitation affair and $50 men,
anxious to lie members of the Minneapo-
lis force, were present and had the priv
ilege Of shaking hands with the doctor
and of being sized up. -
The function was a huge success so
far as attendance was concerned. None
who had been fortunate enough to Sc
cure an invitation were absent. OF the
$50 who secured a good lock at the fur
nishings of the Doctors private Office
last night,~110 at least were given glad
news The primary object of the recep-
ton was te. give out jobs on the police
force Consequently there were many
happy ones when the ''dofngs were
over. 3,r.r,r,e,-.r 40 (. -rl,t
Of course the great crowd could not
be accommodated at one time The doc
tors Office apartments would not perm t.
The corridor in consequence was thfohg-
ed to suffecatio and there was long,
weary wait for many before they We're
permitted to enter the office portals
There was a hushed stiffness over the
corridor cFewd-the sort of quiet that
always pervades oflceseekers on the
anxious seat But In baseball parian6e
they were all good, walters" and It was
far into the night before the last of the
$50 had the extreme pleasure of grasp
ing the next mayors open hand
There was an, oppressive secrecy ABOUT
The whole affair None but those who
held credentials were permitted to enter
the Doctors ante-chamber. which was
kept flied to OVERLOOKING. Theodore
Price, the former, costumer, was on duty
at the door No trained watchdog could
have done better. service as keeper OF the
door. No one entered there till Mr.
Price was certain that there was stand
ing room. in sight. 90 Repeated knocks
were unayailing. Only one gained ad-
mission by the '9Snoqk9 system. That
one was Tom Brown. the Doctors prl-
yate secretary. He was late to the re-
ception and came hurrying in after the
reception had been in progress for full
hour and a half.
