Those Who Sat In Hamilton Case RE-
ply to Judge Pond.
Judge Ponds caustic comment on the
jurors who convicted Charles Hamilton of
keeping an opium joint Is indignantly re-
sented by the members of the body. They
declare that the verdict was justified by
the evidence. The most important phase
of the trial was the credibility Of the wit
ness Jones, whose arrest for perjury was
ordered. That the jurors believed that
he was telling the truth was shown on
the first ballot, which stood II to 1 in
favor of conviction. The jurors say, in
commenting on the statement of Judge
Pond, that he would have dismissed the
case for lack Of evidence had such mo-
ton been made, that he had the very OPP
portunity he craved, for the records show
that the motion was made and promptly
denied. Moreover William F. Pagel, who
was foreman of the jury, says that in talk
ing over the case with Judge Pond few
days after the trial, his honor said that
the verdict was justified by the evidence.

SHAFT FOR THE POLICE
Judge Holt's Sarcasm in Passing Ser

tence on Frank Z1erRth.
Frank Zierath and Charles Gutenberg,
arrested Tuesday night on charges OF dis
orderly conduct. were tried In the mu-
nicipal court this morning. The former
was given $40 or ten days, and the latter
was found not guilty. 1t seems that at
the close of a tough dance at Normania
hall, zierath created some disturbance
and was promptly collared by Police Cap
tain Krumweide. A crowd gathered and
some one threw a stone which hit the
patrol box. Young Gutenberg was
seized and also bundled into the patrol
wagon. When he tried to explain. he
says, Krumweide beat him over the head
and slapped his face, SO that he thought
1t wiser to hold his peace. AS there was
no evidence to show that he threw the
stone, he was allowed to go. In pro-
nouncingf the sentence on Zierath, Judge
Holt said:
I suppose this man Is guilty Of creating a
disturbance, and l will give him SO or ten
days. I don't know just what offense the
police officers are guilty of in permitting
liquor to be sold until o'clock in the morn
ing at dance frequented by prostitutes.

Mayor Ames' Reform Orders-SO Says
Chief of Police.

Superintendent of Police Fred w.
Ames has begun the enforcement OF the
recent orders of the mayor, that wine
rooms be closed, that slot machines be
removed from saloons, and that women
who frequent drinking places be arrested.
Last night officers visited several places,
among them Tom Watson's restaurant"
where a rough fight recently occurred,
and found that where scores of women
formerly congregated, few were to be
found. A number of slot machines were
also removed from saloons last night
Superintendent Ames says he Is going into
this work aggressively and for the pur-
pose of Kidding the town of these evils,

ANOTHER " u" SAMPSON
HIGH SCORE OF G. Nj. HARSH
He Passes the 1900 Mark-Other
Budding Strong Men Create
Interest.

Minnesota has developed another strong
man and the records of the year have
again been sma shed. The new star is
G. M. Harsh, sophomore academic from
Carleton college. Harsh broke the record
Of 1870 held by w. s. Alexander and
scored 1913 points. Harsh has by no
means reached his limit and DR.. Cooke
looks for phenomenal development. He
may pass the 1900 mark
Another promising strong man is A. P.
Asher. He has smashed Alexander's rec
ord of 1890, and, in his last test. also
scored 1893.
The chances of Minnesota for banner
representation in the all fifty of American
colleges are excellent While no stars
such as Allis are expected there are at
least six men who will pass the $500
mark. In total points last year Mime
sofa had secured nearly $1,000. This
year it is Drobable that Minnesota will
lead In totals. An estimate for this year
is not less than 65, 00C.

this sort the delivery man wakes eloquent,

as he rings at the doorbell and pounds
upon the door, and finally. if no satisfac-
tory results are forthcoming, the bundles
must be carried back into the wagon again

work
HANDLING HEAVY ARTICLES.
Furniture and other heavy articles are
handled separately and are delivered in
special wagons with their own system of
special routes. The bundles that have been
purchased by out-of-town people receive the
same treatment as the local parcels up to
the time of their arrival in the sorting
room. Here they are placed in little sep
agate stalls and the work of expressing
them is done by clerk, who devotes him
self almost exclusively to this duty.
Each of the larger stores has its
own stables and wagon sheds, and the
force of employees in these departments adds
considerably to the pay roll of the delivery
section of the establishment. The horses
OF the big stores invariably receive the best
of treatment. 1t would be a very poor
sort of advertisement, indeed for the big
establishments to have their handsome de-
livery wagons drawn by poor or obvious
Iy ilI-treated animals. All of the horses
must be Of the reliable kind. strong and
active without being too "frisky," and
they must be of the sort that are obedient
TO every command, for the delivery men
have other things to think about besides
the training of willful or naturally stub
born horses.
The comic periodicals and the cheap farce
comedies would have you believe that the
delivery of wrong parcels is quite COM
mon occurrence, but such is not the case
in real life. Ii is a very exceptional case
nowadays when the young Leander, as
the humorous artist, Howarth, would call
him, receives a dozen pairs of open-work
stockings instead of the assortment of col
lars and cuffs he had purchased at the
department store, or when the elderly
maiden lady discovers that her bundle
from the big establishment contains set
of tin soldiers and a game of ping-pong
in place of the twelve yards of sober black
Henrietta which she had selected after
| much deliberate consideration. The big
firms have their delivery systems down to
fine point In these up-to-date times, and
| the delivery departments of the great
| modern stores are so machne-like in char
acter that they vary little from day to day
even in the worst of weather or the busiest
holiday season.

To the red-haired girl who yields the

there is no more interesting link in the
chain of business life in which she is in
volved than the small boy about the office.
Perhaps 1t is because she has no small
brothers at home that she watches the ebb
and flow Of the tide of youthful messengers
with unceasing interest. Surreptitiously she
plies them with leftover apples and Sun
day schoo. papers, while none of their small
doings escape her rowing eyes as she thumps
away at the everlasting alphabet before
her. These same urchins appear to be es-
teemed only a ways and means COM

Her tender heart aches when these little

a marked change. The first payday is fol-

cheerfulness to match Indeed ii is some
times difficult for her to recognize a new

show that they have thoughtful mothers,
yet many are orphans, earning their little

a necessary burden.

in the indictment, which alleged against
him the theft of q silver coffee urn worth

Want Their Names Changed

George Michael Kelly has petitioned
the district court to permit him TO
change his name to George Michael
McKenna.
The petition sets forth that the petit
toner was born in La Porte. Ind, Feb.
10, 1879, but has lived in this state for
ten years past and in ST. Paul since
June last In his infancy he was in
formally adopted by Mrs. Katherine
Dolan McKenna who reared and cared
for him during his lifetime. Mrs Nc
Kenna died at Chippewa Falls, Wis,
in 1892.
The petitioner relates that he has al
ways been known by the name of Nc
Kenna since he was a small child and
that he wishes to retain that name
simply for greater convenience and as
a mark of respect and reverence to the
wen an who cared for him in his child
hood.
A petition of similar import has been
filed by Charles Olson who was born
in Sweden and was called by the name
of Olson because it was that of his
mother. His fathers name was MAGYAR
and henceforth he desires to be known
as Charles Olson Maglar for the reason
that Olson is such a common name
among Scandinavians in this vicinity.
