POSTER ART.
LOndon criticism POwerIesS Against
American Poster Pictures.

The once fashionable diversion of
poster gathering is to be tabooed.
The edict has gone forth from social
London that posters are no longer
good form. The pendulum has even
gone to the other extreme and it is
said that society of ladies has been
formed in London town for the sup
preston of the bill board and the ever
present poster. 1t is claimed by re-
cent arrivals from the east that the
crusade against the poster is to be
also waged in America and that steps
are now in progress toward the
organizing of an American branch of
the anCi-poster movement. And thus
what was once considered artistic
and elegant or original and id cal has
now become so Objectionable as to call
forth the condemnation of our Eng
lish cousins as inartistic and in bad
form.
The war may be waged against the
English poster and the bill boards
with varying degrees Of success but
should any like tempt be inaugu-
rated against the American poster we
predict its utter failure of accom-
plishment for no where in the world
has the science of poster making at
tanned 80 high standard as in these
United States. The manufacturer
and the distributor of goods have
been so brought to know the value of
the bill board that the posters dis
played have comato be high ideals
of the designers skill and the litho-
graphers art. We need but sight an
instance that is familiar sight here
upon the bill boards of our own town
to emphasize the point In question.
Take for example the Autographs Of
the "Gold Dust Twins" series of
artistic and wholly attractive posters
made to represent the virtues of
house hold article. The N. K. Fair
bank Company have been at great
expense in getting out series OF
posters showing a couple of little
colored folks, representing "Gold
Dust" and pictured as doing the
kitchen work and the household
cleaning that the article seeking ad.
verUisement is supposed to do. The
posters are so original in design and
R-Ts ~, nh
have never failed to attract attention
where ever displayed. The twins are
seen at all manner of work from
washing dishes to scrubbing the floor.
The advertisement in the posters is
so striking that the passer by in look.
ing at the next bill board uncon-
ciously wonders "wbat next will
those twins do?''aud while appIanding
the ingenuity of the artist anddesigner
one is impressed with the value of
the goods spoken of thus forcefully,
Thus the worth of the American pos
ter has become too frmly seated with
both producer and consumer to per-
NIT any so called English reformers
to threaten its permanancy. The
American public has been poster
educated and they will stop in the
rush of every day life to admire a
bit of art like the "Gold Dust Twins"
where they would pass unnoticed an
approved masterpiece as dictated by
our English Critics,

INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.
The Northern Pacific Case Takes on
n New Phase.


Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. Judge
William Lochren, of the United States
circuit court, on Tuesday dissolved the
temporary injunction issued in the case
OF Peter Power against the Northern
Pacific Railway company by Judge Ell
lott, of the district court of Henuepin
county, Monday. The injunction which
was dissolved by order of Judge Loeb
rem restrained the Northern Pacific
fre:i issuing any evidences of indebt-
edness to retire the preferred stock of
the company or to retire the preferred
stock in any other manner than by the
use of the surplus net earnings of the
road. 1t also restrained the Northern
Pacific and its officers from entering
into any agreement or doing any act
by which the road would be consolida-
ted or merged through the medium of
the Northern Securities company with
the Great Northern or the Burlington
or either of them.
After the decision was made orally
by Judge Lochren at the close of a days
argument by the attorneys for both
sides an effort was made by the plain
lifts attorneys to have the court fix
the amount of bond which would be re-
quired in order to appeal from the de-
cision and to stay all further proceed
ings in the lower courts pending the
appeal. Judge Lochren refused to al
low supersedeas bond in any amount
to be given.
Judge Lochren's Position.
Judge Lochren he'd that the North
ern Pacific was acting within the au.
thority of its charter, of the contract
entered into between it and it's stock
holders as incorporated in the ceEtif-
Gates of preferred stock and of the
agreement entered into November 10
in attempting to retire the 100000
of preferred stock in the manner al
legged by Mr.. Power. He also held that
railroad corporations could not do in
directly what the law prevented them
from doing directly, and that any
method by which consolidation of two
or more competing and parallel lines
would be brought about would be IL
legal and and a writ of injunction
would lie to restrain the contamination
of the plan. But that there was moth
ing in the case as presented to him that
would indicate the stockholders of
the Northern Pacific Railway company
were attempting such a consolidation
or merger.
The case was transferred late Mon
day night by the Northern Pacific from
the state to the federal court and an
order to show cause, returuable Tues
day morning, why the temporary in
junction granted by Judge Elliott
should not be dissolved was secured
from Judge Lochren and served late
Monday night upon Mr.. Powers attor-
neys. The answer of the defendant
was filed in the district court and an
order removing the case to the federal
court was secured from Judge Brooks,
of the Hennepin district court.

Noisy Demonstrations Usher In the
Year IOoz.


New York Jan. 1. with services of
prayer and song, with tolling of bells
and ringing Of chimes, with blare of
thopsaadS Of horns and the sharp crack
% revolver and pistol shots; with the
scrseching Of whistles and cries from
the throatsot thousands, the old year
Was babe farewell and the new year
welcomed at midnight. Watch night
services were held in many of the
churches throughout Greater New
York and many chimes rang their fare
wei to the old year and greetings to
the new. Roman Catholic churches did
not mark the passing Of the year by
Midnlgh masses, as was done last year,
the service then having been directed
by the pope because of the advent of
. new century. Old Trinity and its
chimes were the principal magnet for
the horn-blowing crowd in the down
town portion of the city. Thousands
gathered about the historic old church.
The scenes about Grace church and
IA Herald square were similar ones.
The din, too, in the ''Tenderloin" early
an the evening was terrific. But the
noise and confusion that broke loose
from steam whistles to horns on the
stroke Of midnight was the climax of
the celebration.

There were several allegations in the complaint. one of them being an unlawful relation with a Mrs. Ingersoll. That was not very clearly established but enough other matter was proved to warrant the granting of the divorce. The suit was resisted vigorously, not because the defendant was averse to a separa- ton but for the protection of property rights.
