Skating while not classed as a COM
pctitive sport. although there are
plenty of competitions to which it
leads. is the most generally practised
OF all winter pastimes. When skating
first began is something no one yet
has fully discovered. But. at any rate
writers in the twelfth century men
ton the pastime and describe the
skate then in use as the brisket bone
of an OK fastened to the sole of the
foot and bound around the ankle. while
the person thus mounted pushed him
self along the ice by the means of an
iron shod stick. And it is said that in
the museum at Cambridge, as well as
in the British museum, there are
bones thus ground for use as skates.
Later came the wooded frame, with
an iron or steel runner.
This was some time in the four
teenth century. In the sixteenth cen
tury there is a well-remembered re-
cord of the time when the Dutch feet
was frozen in at Amsterdam and Don
Frederick attempted with his men to
take the vessels. His men were put
to route by the Dutchmen. who came
out on skates. and thus had every ad-
vantage of mobility.-Cincinnati En-

4 man failed after trying long.
And then sat down and wondered why;
He saw not where he had been wrong,
Nor where fair chances had slipped by.
All that he did was sit and gaze
Upon the hopes strewn round him there
And wonder on through all his days
Why fate had marked him for despair.
Another failed and stepped aside
And saw the causes OF his woe

REAL ESTATE men dine
ST. PAUL'S PROSPERITY THE SUB
JBCT OF DISCUSSION.

Sixty st. Paul real estate men sat down
to a luncheon a the Merchants hotel at
noon yesterday. The event of the affair
was an interesting paper on the progress
of st. Paul during the past year, cOmpil-
ed by Thomas Cochran and read by IL.
S. Fairchild.
The paper contained an interesting and
imposing array of figures compiled from
the records of the register of deeds Of
fee, and the city building inspectors de-
partment. These figures showed that the
past year had been the most prosperous
one in the building line that st. Paul had
ever experienced, and that the ratio of
building was larger here than in any city
in the United States.
Theodore f. Koch, who has been in the
farm land business since 1884, presented a
paper giving a review of the business in
farm lands during 1901. He said that
thousands of people had settled in the
wild lands of the northern part of the
state, and particularly in that section be-
tween St. Paul and Duluth. These set
tiers, Mr.. Koch said, came largely from
the northern counties of Europe. He said
the prospects were that the immigration
this year would be larger than ever be-
fore. He looks for a tremendous in
f1ux, reaching many thousands during
1902 and said it would only be a short
time until the entire Northwest would
to-do farmers.
A number of other members Of the as
ISOLATION spoke briefly of the real estate
situation in ST. Paul and in the state
The committee in charge Of the affair
yesterday was composed of the following
members: Thomas Cochran, Rush b.
Wheeler, G. S. Heron and E. ]. Meier.

is RECTOR JONES' TURN
PROSECUTION IN NASSAU INQUIRY
CLOSED CASE YESTERDAY.

The prosecution in the case against
Rev. Henry Dixon Jones. rector of the
Church of the Messiah, rested its case
yesterday afternoon. The attorney for
Mr.. NASSAU called three witnesses dur
ing the day, but they were not crOss-ex-
amined by H. F. Stevens, the counsel for
Rector Jones.
Jones himself was put on the stand
during the a. lernoon but Mr.. Stevens is
reported as saying that if the hearing
was before court of justice he would
rest the case without calling a witness.
as he was confident the prosecution had
not made out a case.
Mr.. Jones evidently has as great faith
in the verdict as his attorney, for during
the hearing he frequently gave way to
laughter and acted in such a jovial man
ner that Archdeacon Haupt at one time
remarked that he did not see how the
rector could treat a serious matter so
lightly.
Mr. Jones interrupted the testimony of
one of Vassau's witnesses at one stage
of the proceedings and asked him why
he had not thrown him out of the
house
ct was not because I could not have
done so and | might try it now, right
here retorted the witness.
Attorney Stevens interviewed and peace
was once more restored 1t is not known
just how many witnesses the defense will
call and the general opinion seems to be
that the only testimony of any moment
offered by the prosecution SO far has
been that of Mrs. Nassau.

is A BLOW AT POOR MAN
SENATOR POTTER DOES NOT LIKE
REDUCTION OF TAX EXEMPTION.

Senator Ed Potter who is being groom
ed for lieutenant governor, returned yes
to-day morning from a business trip to
New Mexico. The senator says he has
little fault to find with the report Of
the tax commission. He thinks it, in
most respects, an admirable document.
Ha says:
Although I have had little opportunity
for giving the report the careful perusal
ard study which it merits, it appears
much less drastic than l expected.
II think the constitutional amendments
arc in the right direction, and they should
be adopted without dissenting vote.
'"The chief objection to the bill, so far
as I have discovered, seems to be to that
part which relates to a change in the
amount of exemption, which looks very
mrch as though it had been framed IN
the interests of the rich man as opposed
to the poor man. Under our present
laws personal property is supposed to be
assessed at an average of so per cent
of the value, with an exemption of 500.
Under the proposed law every property
holder is obliged to make a statement
under oath, based on the actual value
of property. At the same time the ex-
emrtion has been reduced to SIS. I am
rot willing to concede that any man
so poor in this worlds goods that his
total personal property valuation does
not exceed $100 should be obliged to pay
any tax other than his rent
"As for the rest of the report, I have
not given it sufficient attention yet TO
express myself more fully

HIS FATHER NEEDS HIM
MICHAEL O'TOOLE MAY HAVE
FREEDOM THRUST ON HIM
Board of Pardon Considers His Case
Younger Boys Pardon
to Come Up
Soon.

Inc state pardon board held a brief ses-
SION yesterday to consider the case Of
Michael O'Toole who, On Dec. 26 was
sentenced to the Workhousa from RAMSEY
county for ninety days. It Will be re-
membered that O'Toole was in the habit
of making things lively at home, and was
put under bonds to keep the peace. ON
Christmas night, however, he went home
and made things decidedly unpleasant
Tor his sick mother, aged father and the
younger children Of the household. He
was given the limit the next day in the
police court.
The young mans father asks for his re-
lease on the grounds that the family
needs his services, the mother having
died and thee of the family Gevolv-
ing upon the father. 1t was represented
to the board that The father and chill
dren were in sore need Of the young
mans assistance. The board did not take
action, but turned the case over to Aid.
Matt Bantz to investigate, and find
whether or not the condition CT the fam
lily was as represented, and TO report at
the next meeting of the board
The board also considered the case of
John w. Clark, an actor, sentenced in
the Minneapolis municipal court, on Jan.
10, for begging on the streets. The mans
wife stated that she could not conceive
of any reason for her husband doing as
alleged, and the case seems to have some
peculiar phases, and was accordingly re-
ferred to Attorney General Douglas for
investigation.
The next time the board meets the case
of the Younger brothers, VINO desire a
complete pardon, will be taken Up. 1t is
rumored that the board may not be so
ready to grant a pardon as it was a pa
role, Notwithstanding the contrary opin-
ion of many supposed to know. So far
as can be ascertained there will be no
opposition before the board to their
pardon The Mortified people even are
disposed to let the matter drop, and say
that inasmueh as the men have been
released from prison they might as well
be allowed to leave the state. 1t is said
that Justice Start is not so ready to grant
the pardon off-kand as had been sup
posed. He is said to have consented to
the parole largely because of the legisla-
lures attempt to shift the responsibility
upon him, thinking that he would hold
up the parole which they voted for.
It is believed, however, that the chief
argument made in favor of the pardon,
namely. the fact that the men desire to
escape the freak advertising and publicity
TO which they are exposed at present,
will have great weight with the board,
even more, perhaps, than the fact that
they are both old and failing in health.

TAGS FOR THE CARS
THE ALDERAIANIC COMMITTEE ON
STREETS RECOMMENDS HUNTS
ORDINANCE
MURPHY VOTES AGAINST IT
Says 1t Is Hunts Scheme to Boom
HimseIf-Jessrang's Report
Shows City Might Lose
Money.

The committee on streets Of the board
of aldermen, yesterday afternoon,
grudgingly gave its approval to the Hunt
ordinance, requiring every street car
to bear a license tag, but it is expected
that concurrence will be denied when
the regular bodies are reached.
According to statements made by LIZ
cense Inspector Jessrang, who had been
detailed to ascertain the number of cars
in daily use, the city is now receiving
more revenue than if Mr.. Hunts scheme
was put in operation.
Stationed at a central point at the bus
lest hour in the day, 5 o'clock, Mr.. Jess
rang counted 1S4 cars, distributed as fol-
lows:
Rondo and Maria, 10; selby and Mer-
RAM Park, q; Grand and Lafayette,
80; Seventh and Fort Smelling, 20; Rice,
Concord and State. 16; Mississippi and
West st. Paul, IA: Hamline and Jackson,
s; Stryker avenue, l.; Interurban, 30; Co
mo Harriet, 70; Saltwater, z.
The Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany now pays into the city treasury
$40 each for 1S1 cars, which it claims is
more than an average for the year.
Were the tag system put into effect,
it is claimed that the city, taking Mr..
JeSSrangs figures as a basis, would on
ly receive pay for 1853 cars, the COM
pany disputing the city's right to tax it
for more than one-half the cars run on
the interurban lines. On the three in
terurban lines, 40 cars are ordinarily
run, and half this number, the COM
pany claims, belongs to Minneapolis,
which also collects a tax of $40 for each
year.
In considering the ordinance, Aid. Muir
ply refused to recognize it, remarking
that no one could drive him into line.
TITS a petty affair at the best" said
Mr.. Murphy, "and was simply created
by certain party to boom himself. He
can't work me on his BOOM Aid. Dahl
quist also voted with Mr. Murphy, but
the other three members voted to recon-
mend it for passage.
