CHANCES AT EUROPE.
Random Sketches by a Herald
Correspondent.

London, July 20. = Our first real
glimpse of London was obtained from
ride on the top.of one of the om-
nibuses which are so plentiful here.
London is different from any other
city in the world, it is claimed, and
we can easily believe it. The streets
run in every direction but come to.
gether at some monument or statue
and this is called square. We are
but block from the famous "Tra-
falgar Square," There are seats and
stands erected everywhere along the
streetIwhich were to have been used
to obtain glimpse of the delayed
coronation procession. Electrical
displays were to have been numerous
--most!of them containing the letters
E. R.swhichS means Edward Reigns.
Wesvisited Kensington Palace, the
birthplace of Queen Victoria, and
saw herslibrary and numerous play
things, chairs, etc. The art gallaries
contain some fine portraits OF the old
English Kings. Kensington Gardens
are open to the public and they are
allowed to walk on the grass. The
place is generally thronged with
children. From to we watched
the nobility drive through Hyde Park.
Quite an imposing sight. After SER
vices each Sunday they have what is
called thee Church Parade" only at
that time theSpeople walk instead of
ride.
Saturday we took tally-ho ride to
Hampton Court, the former home of
Cardinal Wolsey, Elizabeth, Henry
VIII. and other British sovereigns.
We passed through beautiful country
and obtained fine view of English
life outside of London. We passed
by Alex. Pope's villa, then through
the quaint little village of Twicken-
ham and saw the Ferry " We drove
through "Busbey Park" which is a
park of chestnut trees, planted by
Cardinal Wolsey. 1t is supposed to
contain some 1000 deer. This park
is one way of approach to Hampton
Court. Tberelsre beautiful gardens
surrounding the palace while inside
are paintings galore. A great many
are by poorly known artists but 9TH
or namesss are familiar-such as Van
Dyck, Corregio, Titan, Murillo and
Rembrandt. To the rear of the pal
ace is an encampment of 1900 In
dams who came here for the corona
ton.
Sunday we went to St. Paul's
cathedral, a fine old building de-
signed by Sir Christopher Wren. The
music was grand.
We have spent short time at the
National gallery, but. we intend to
visit it several times more, as it is
only a minutes walk from here.
One sees flowers everywhere II
there's no other place for them, they
are placed in the window. The En-
glisn seem to have such musical
voices, even the shop girls voices
being sweet. It's quite exciting to
cross the street during busy after
noon. Makes one appreciate a police
man. We start soon for two weeks
tour in Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

FIREBUG AT WORK.
Applies the Torch to Number of
Buildings in Peoria,
Illinois,

Peoria, Ill, Aug. 12.-The police and
fire department were kept on the jump
Monday by the operations of fire
bug. The torch was applied to five
buildings during the day, and though
the actual fire loss will not exceed
$4,000, with an insurance of about
$4,000, the flames at one time threat
ened to sweep large section of the
city. The police arrested Edward
Flanagan, 20 years of age, residing at
800 First avenue, and charged him with
being the incendiary. They claim to
have direct evidence against him.
Shortly after his arrest the mutter-
ings of the crowd made it necessary,
as precautionary measure, to remove
the prisoner to the county Jail for
safe keeping. Since then Flanagan
has refused to say a word.
The first fire was started in the
storehouse of the Val Blatz Brewing
company, at the foot of Harrison
street. 1t was extinguished before Sc
rious damage had been done. Fire
was next seen in Dooley Brothers coal
sheds, but the damage there was NOM
inal. Shortly after the noon hour fire
was discovered in Neumiller's livery
barn. The flames spread with such
rapidity that the 10 horses occupying
the basement floor, and all the rigs,
were destroyed. The flames spread to
the undertaking establishment owned
by c. w. o'Leary, adjoining the livery
barn. For time it looked as though
the entire block south of Adams street
would go up in smoke.
A general alarm was sounded, and
every piece of fire fighting appa-
ratus in the city was called out.
While they were fighting the Neu-
miller fire an alarm came from the
Touring mills owned and operated
by Horace g. Sons, at the head of
Walnut street, two blocks away
from the Neumiller fire. Part of the
department was rushed to the mill,
but the flames had gained such head
way that damage amounting to S.
600 were done before the flames
could be checked While the fire de-
partment was fighting the Clark mills
an alarm came in from the residence
of Mrs. Reggy, 800 Warner avenue,
where a damage of about $500 was
caused. The loss by the Neumiller
fire, where 10 horses were burned to
death, is fully $4,000. O'Leary, the
undertaken, estimates his loss at ST.
500. The fire fiend began his work in
Peoria about April i. Up to date he
has succeeded in suffocating and
burning SO horses and causing fire
damages aggregating many thou
sands of dollars. When the Clark
Touring mills fire broke ont Monday
Flanagan was seen looking in
through window, and was seen to
throw something into the building
and then walk hurriedly around the
block. He was followed, and after
the department had arrived at the
fire he returned and watched them
work. He was watching the fire
when the police arrested him.

THE REST ROOM.
Cheerful Departments Opened to Fa-
tieued and Sick Women.

The rest room which has been so
long in preparation was opened to the
public yesterday. For long time it
was feared that the place would never
be incondition for use on account of
the water which seeped in under the
side walk, but the walls nave now
dried out entirely and the rooms have
been made to look quite comfortable.
The Woman's Club, who have charge
of the furnishing and keeping up of the
establishmnt, have donated pictures
and rugs and with the addition of sew
eral easy chairs and two couches the
place looks quite CHEEKY and home
like. There are few other minor i'm
rovements, but the greater part of the
work is now finished and the ladies
bid everyone welcome to the new
apartments.

LET THIS BE A WARNING.
Strange Series of Disasters That be-
fell the StIngy borrower
of a Paper.

A man who was too stingy to take
his home paper sent his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by his neigh
Dor, says the Kingston Leader. In his
haste the boy ran over 81 hive OF
bees, and in ten minutes he looked Like
warty squash. His cries reached his
father who ran to his assistance, and
failing to notice a barbed wire fence,
ran into that, breaking it down, cut
ting a handful of flesh from his
anatomy, and running IS pair of
pants. The COW took advantage of
the gap in the fence and got into the
cornfield and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket, the
wife ran, upset four gallon churn
full of rich cream into a basket of
kittens drowning them. In the hurry
she lost a 81 set of teeth. The baby,
left alone, crswled through the cream
and the parlor, running brand new
$50 carpet. During the excitement the
oldest daughter ran away with the
hired man, the dog broke up II set
ting hens, and the calves got out and
chewed the tails off four fine night
shirts. The man could have had
paper of his own for 81 per year and
saved all the trouble and expense.

LITTLE WORK DONE.
City Council Meets But Does Not
Accomplish Much.

The regular monthly meeting of
the city council was held Monday
evening and although there was
plenty OF business to be done most of
1t was postponed until next Wednes-
day night. After the minutes of the
previous meeting had been read re-
ports of the various city officers were
called for and the mayors report was
read as follows:
Miscellaneous licenses . S104 25
Scavenger grounds ...... 90
sos %
Following this the clerks report
was read and the other officers not
having handed in theirs the council
went to the other business. The
usual list of claims was read and al
lowed and then the paving PROPOSE
zion came up. There are five places
about the city where it was proposed
to lay paving. These are:
B street south between High avenue
and Second avenue.
O avenue east toward the Pickett
property.
A avenue east to Seventh street.
Second street north.
Sixth street north and south of
High avenue, one block each way.
The South B street paving was
brought up first and as there were
only eight members of the council
present it took full vote to pass the
resolution. When it came to vote
8. B. Sinclair voted nay, thus killing
the resolution. When the other reso-
lutlons were brought up later Mr..
O'Hearne moved that all the paving
resolutions be laid on the table until
the next meeting. This caused con-
siderable discussion as to whether
an adjourned meeting would be a
regular meeting or not, and whether
the motion was in accordance with
the rules. The city solicitor was con
suited and half an hour was spent in
trying to find out the right way to
get at the matter. After much talk
all the way round, Mr.. O'Hearne
withdrew his motion with the con-
sent of his second, Mr.. G axe, and
the matter was lett as before. In the
discussion which followed this step
Mr.. Glaze moved that the council ad.
journ until next Wednesday evening.
The mayor objected as there was
more business to &c attended to but
the majority were in favor of the ac-
ton and the meeting was dismissed.

Willmar tribune., 1902-03-05

Why is it that in these United States
of America we foster and uphold by
the strong power of the law an insti-
tuition which, on account of its vicious
offspring, is in constant array against
the moral sense of great majority of
our people? The character of the liq-
uor traffic is now so we'll established
that it is all but impossible to find
even one of it's professed friends who
is so bold as to publicly do it rever-
ence. However, it stands in no need
of supporters; it finds them in the
ranks of business, in legislative halls,
and even in the church of God itself.
But seldom do these friends espouse
it's cause openly; they plead federation,
not on the ground of morals, nor on
the ground Of principle, but ever on
the ground of policy. expediency, or,
more frequently still, for the sake of
selfish interest. Let a law be proposed
which threatens to curtail the powers
or restrict the privileges of this giant
iniquity, and thousand citizens who
are known as well-to-do and respecta-
BILE in every walk of lite, rush to the
front and by their angry and incessant
protest intimida ate the legislature and
defeat the public will; with the i'm

Willmar tribune., 1902-03-05

We look to see the Peoples Party
come to the front under the leadership
of w. J. Bryan. By present indica-
cations the old parties are coming to-
gether under the control of the great
trusts, corporations and combines.
We do not believe that Mr.. Bryan
will submit to that dictation.-Man-
katO Journal.
We feel certain that the day of trial
is fast approaching for Bryan and his
followers in the democratic party.
How will they weather the storm?
Those of them who feel inclined to find
fault with the attitude of populists
should stop to consider that the latter
are men who have met the issue OF
principle versus party, and who had
the courage of their convictions to
leave cherished old party associations
for conscience sake. It is easy for q
democrat to favor political reform
while Bryan dominates the party, but
how will 1t be should Bryan's ideas
be side-tracked?
Willmar tribune., 1902-03-05
WILL RETIRE the STANDARD SILVER
DOLLARS.

Senator Hill, of Connecticut, ex-
plains how his coinage bill will retire
the standard silver dollars as follows:
''The bill proposes to remedy the
defect in the act of March IA, 1900, by
placing the government reserves as
squarely behind the fat silver dollar
as that act put them behind the fat
greenback. The bill first repeals the
compulsory provision of the war rev.
enue act under which we are now coin
ing q million and a half dollars q
month. Secondly, it provides for
coming the remaining portion of the
bullion in the Trea sury into subsidia-
ry currency. Thirdly, when the bull
lion is exhausted and the necessities of
the country require still more subsidi-
ary coin, the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry will be empowered to begin the re-
coinage of the silver dollars into SUBJ
sidiary coins. This is in exact accord
ance with the plans proposed in the
past and now being pursued by the
gold standard nations of the world so
far as know, even the Latin Union
having commenced the process of turn
ing legal tender silver into limited
tender money"

ly, "He pays me rent!'' the merchant

venge and his muttered threats are
heard by wife and children in a dark
ened room, where debauchery and
drunkenness have left their marks of
ruin. From the haunts of poverty and
disgrace, and even from retreats OF
vice, come the deep curses hurled at
the rumseller's head apd at the peo-
pie who tolerate this evil. How long
is Public Opinion to be restrained?
How long will it remain deaf to the
cries for succor which come from every
center and outpost of civilization?
When will it break the barriers OF
prudence and self-interest and bad
laws and overwhelm and annihilate
the liquor traffic? Conscience demands
it; even policy. demands it, and God,
from whom We hold the authority OF
government, requires it at our hands.
