Sixteen Times as Rapidly as the
State.
BETWEEN YEARS 1887 AND 1901
Jumps From 412 to 3, ALB
Expense From $69, 1908 to
$4l2,164.99s

Registrar Johnson of the university has
prepared table of statistics covering the
years from 1887 to 1901. During this per-
iod the growth Of the university was
sixteen times as rapid as the growth OF
the state, In 1887 the enrolment was AZ
and in 1901 it was S,413. The average at
tendance per 10000 of population has In
creased from 3.49 In 1887 to 1S.4S in 1901.
While the actual cost to each person IN
the state has increased since 1887 from
1896 cents to S.68 cents, the expense TO
each person in the state for each student
in the university has decreased from .0O72
to .0025, so that at present 1t Is about
third what it was fifteen years ago.
II the cost per capita to each person to
support each student in the university had
remained stationary since 1887, the cost
per capita to each person In the state
at the present time would be 1871 instead
Of S.6S as 1t is. In 1887 the total expense
of the institution was $69,730.33 and In
1901 1t was $412, 16499. In the same years
the cost per student has fallen from
s169.24 to $120.75.

than other institutions Minnesota's ex-
penditures in 1901, which do not include
buildings or extraordinary repairs, were
S412, 164.99, while Yale and Michigan had
$776,7e0 and $500. 3O6.S4 respectively.

ALMOND EYED CHEFS
Soon to Be Serving Local Epicures
With Chop Sooy.
THE MENU TO BE ALL CHINESE
Including B1rdnest Soup for the Ex-
ceedingly Dainty-A Celes-
tial Magnet.

This city now boasts three Chinese res
taurants, but they are all run on the
American plan by their thrifty propr1e-
tors.
Woey Sen Low, of Jackson street, St..
Paul. who believes there is a good field
in Minneapolis for real Chinese restau-
rant, has decided to open up a chop sooy
house ON First avenue S. The restaurant
will be furnished and arranged on lines
closely resembling similar institutions in
the old country.
Chop sooy will be supplied in such va
riety as should please the taste of the
most fastidious Chinese epicure. For %
cents an order he will serve Lii Hung
Chang chop sooy, while the white mush-
room and fine cut variety will cost SO
cents. The price for chicken chop sOoy
is to be Is cents.
Other articles on the menu will be
eggs tfoyung' and eggs ''Subgum," Is
cents; birdsnest and aboluni soups, $1.25;
rice subgum, 25 cents.
In desserts he, will offer such delica-
cies as yung no, bauloo, sarlee, Ii chez
and gamgott, for Is cents each.
Dinner will be served in mandarin
style,' to order, from $1.5O to $500 for
each person. The choicest of Chinese teas
will be served.
The Chinese American restaurants al
ready doing business here are those OF
Wong Tuy and Wong Chung, Wong Gui
and Ye Sing.
These restaurants cater to the colored
trade, and every ebony -hued customer
who has the price gets just as cordial a
greeting from the proprietor as is ac-
corded to a white man.
s''And why shouldn't they?" asked Ye
Sing, an American citizen Of eighteen
years residence In Minneapolis, who also
operates laundry on upper Nicollet. ave-
nue. and Is thoroughly imbued with the
democratic principle of republic. "They
are men like you or me-" he resumed,
''They have got to eat and there must be
some place for them to do SO. No one
here seems to object. They are all broth
ers"-here he grinned patronizingly at the
congress Of nations crowding his tables
land there is no room for race prejudice.'
These philosophic remarks led Mr.. Sing
to observe that the establishment of so
many Chinese restaurants here was final
ly attracting Chinese to Minneapolis
town which they have been inclined to
pass I'D heretofore.
II don't know why it is; they don't
seem to like the town before he con-
tinued," but now expect many will come
from San Francisco. There is no chance
for Cinnamon to work for good wages
here. All can't be business men. In
San Francisco they get $50 month to
be cook; here they don't pay more than
$25. No good Chinese cook will work for
so small salary. Cinnamon want high
wages for good work just like white
men,"
There are at present about forty Chi
nese in MinneaDOliS.
