CARLSON'S LONG SWIM :
From Glenwood to Starbuck in Ap.
proximateIy Six Hours.

y .
GUDNWOoD., MTNN.-7John Carlson, bet
ter known as ,'''skoony,'''S: has the record for
a long distance swim on Lake HMinnewaska
and incidentally earned SIS on Sunday. He
started from the boat landing about g. O'Clock
a: M, and just six hours later his tired
feet touched bottom at the Starbuck landing.
. Two lads accompanied him in a rowboat
and supplied him with sandwiches on the
way, and a party in the launch overlook
him near ROCKY Point, but he did not need
any assistance, his only rest during the trip
being that secured by changes of position in
the water. "a The distance, is estimated sbea
tween ten and twelve miles, and as the
worlds record 'for a ten-mile swim is some
thing: over 1vey hours.=M Mr.. Carlson has rea-
son to- feel proud-,o his achievement He
has made swims of several miles before, but
never so far. He was completely exhausted
when he reached the end of his journey, but
after good meal and few hours rest, was
apparently none the worse for his exertion.

JUDGE is CAUSTIC
IN MAKING DECISION
Judge Otis Says Security Company Is
Guilty of Gross Negligence
at Least.

Judge Otis yesterday sustained the
defendants demurrer to the complaint
of the National Bond and Security
company in it's suit against Bessie
Burns ct al, and incidentally roasted
the company.
The plaintiff sued to establish a lien
on valuable real estate owned by the
defendants, alleging as a ground of &C
ton that the company had paid taxes
on the property in the mistaken belief
that it held state tax sale certificates
on the land. 1t was afterwards dis
covered that the supposed certificates
were only receipts, the certificates
themselves having previously been as
signed by the company to third par
ties.
"The complaint shows conclusively,"
says the court in holding that the COM
pany had not established a cause of
action, that the plaintiffs erroneous
belief must have resulted from the
grosseSt negligence on it's part
I'm August, 1898, it assigned the GER
tificates, and having knowledge of it
then is certainly charged with knowl-
edge of it five months later, and there
is not word of excuse or explanation
for overlooking the transaction. How
it could have supposed that the tax
receipts in its possession were certif-
icates of sale is uncomfortable, for they
are wholly dissimilar, and the most
casual glance would have discovered
such dissimilarity. Gross carelessness
alone must account for the PLAINTIFF
belief. More forgetfulness or failure
to appreciate or understand the legal
effect Of the receipts would not excuse,
and even this much is not pleaded"

FAIR MANAGERS WILL

Thirty Five Thousand Dollars to Be

Buildings.

The board Of fair managers decided
at a meeting held yesterday afternoon
to spend about $4,000 of the $4,000
made at the recent fair in permanent
improvements.
Of this sum $4,000 will be expended
in the erection Of an up-to-date ma
chinery hall to take the place of the
present inadequate sheds used for this
class of exhibits. The new machinery
hall will be built at a point on the line
of the grounds north of the present
machinery sheds. An avenue 100 feet
wide will be opened from the main
thoroughfare direct to the new hall.
Two miles of cement sidewalks will
also be laid at an expense of 100000
The particular avenue to be improved
is that known as the Midway and on
both sides of the street from the grand
stand to the old railroad depot walks
twenty feet wide will be laid

to be erected. Orders for plans Of this
building were given yesterday and at
a meeting to be held next month the
plans are to be accepted.

wins.
President Lathrop and the local Of
ficials of the gas company are very
ret1cent regarding the reported step,
out admit that something will be done.
Beyond that they will say nothing.
Their underground plant, it Is said.
has suffered badly from the destructive
currents generated by the street car
company. though this the street car
company denies, contending that the
gas company is just as much respon-
S1ble for the presence of electrolysis
as any electric producing concern in
the city.
The size and Importance Of the suit
now awaiting attention from the dis
tr1ct court has no parallel in the his
tory Of the local municipality and be-
cause Of this fact Is receiving the I'M
divided attention of Corporation Attor-
ney Markham and his assistants. Even
the water department, which is foster
ing the action, is busy, Investigations
being continually made for the purpose
of producing convincing evidence of
the destructive force of the stray cleo
trio currents, which are now and, it is
said, for years have been playing havoc
with the iron mains.
That the street car company realizes
it's position is evidenced by the fact
that all new rail laid this year has
been doubly bonded with copper con-
nections so as to prevent the return
current from leaving the rail and find
ing it's way into the ground.

FATHER M'CORRY TELLS
THE STORY BEAUTIFUL
Pauist Missioary Delivers Lecture at
the Cathedral Before Large
Audience.

"The Story Beautiful" as told by
Rev. j. P. MacCorry, a Paulist father,
at the Cathedral, last night, was both
interesting and entertaining.
The lecturer, an orator of ability
was assisted by the choir of the Ca
thedral, which rendered appropriate
musical selections during the lecture,
and over 200 lantern views of famous
paintings, representing scenes in the
life, work and death Of Christ were
shown.
An audience which filled every seat
in the church greeted the lecturer and
frequently applauded his word-paint-
ings of the scenes in the life of the
Savior.
The choir of fifty voices sang the
"Hallelujah" chorus, Regina Coeli'
and Praise Ye the Father" and John
F. Gehan was heard in the solo, "The
Palms" One of the features of the
musical programme was the rendition
by choir of twenty-five school chill
dren of "Oh, Holy Night" The chill
dren were stationed in the sacristy,
and the effect of their voices in con-
nection with the exhibition of the pic
ture showing the birth of Christ was
particularly fine. While a picture de-
plotting the death of a soldier was
shown the effectiveness was increased
by the playing of taps" on a bugle in
the choir loft.

plan, these latest inportations from
Paris. Under one of these extensive
hats a woman of the amplest circum-
ference would be scarcely visible
from above. But face to face she
would be a vision to delight the eye.
Perhaps the most dazzling creation
of all in the new assortment is a per-
feet dream in white, designed by Nine.
Vivot, the noted Partisan milliner. 1t Is
a large picture hat" of white beaver,
trimmed with wavy white plume and
the softest white plush. Without the
slightest exaggeration it is calculated
to make a woman of ga certain age"
look only half her years. It's price puts
that of the SWEETEST thing known in
mems headgear to utter shame.

white is an imposing achievement n

ed with a large black and white
plume effectively interwined. The
crown is of folded black velvet, with a
crushed facing of black velvet. 1t,
too, costs something.
Another exquisite thing is a rose
velvet affair, set in a large PLAGUE of
roses and trimmed with a whole mink

of shirred velvet, trimmed with castor
wings and Apricot shade. 1t is diff

draped hat of sage green velvet, with a
mink brim. 1t is ornamented with
chiffon facing and lace barb at the
back.
To enumerate in detail all the other
handsome and unique designs would
require more columns than are avail
able at this time. Suffice it to say that
the collection comprises many more
charming and striking creations.
Among them are the Spanish lace barb

of black drapery, the Ermine hat and

crown of velvet, surmounted by bird
of paradise with wings outspread.
Opera neckwear of chiffon and lace

THEATERS MUST PAY
AS PROFITS INDICATE
Graduated Scale of License Payment
Is Held by Managers to Be
Unjust.

Managers of the local theaters do not
favor the attempt to increase their
licenses and If the measure now being
drafted is favorably considered a pro-
test may be raised. According to the
ordinance now being prepared by the
legal department the Metropolitan will
be charged $500 a year, the Grand $500,
the Star 500 and the Empire and Ii
volt each $50. On this basis the play
houses of st. Paul are divided into four
classes and taxed according to their
price of admission, fixing $500 as the
limit.
The contention raised by some is
that the city must impose a uniform
tax, as the law which permits it does
not view it in the light Of a revenue
producer, but rather as police meas
ure, by which the city may be enabled
to protect those who patronize the
houses.
The legal department, however, re-
fuses to view the matter in this light.
1t says the class distinction can be
made and the tax imposed accordingly.
