COY. RAMSEY'S BIRTHDAY
Friends Call to Congratulate Him
Upon Eighty-seventh Anniver-
sary Of His Birth. -

Friends of Alexander Ramsey, Mime
sofas venerable war governor, called on
him yesterday at his Walnut street resi-
dence, st. Paul, to congratulate him upon
the arrival of his eighty-seventh birthday.
Although Governor Ramsey doesn't get
about quite as actively as he did in 81
he still retains a surprising amount OF
vigor and vitality for one of his age. His
mental faculties remain undimned.
Governor Ramsey was born near Harris
burg, Pa, Sept. g., 1915, his father being
of Scotch, and his mother Of German de-
scent. At the age OF ten he became an
orphan. A relative assisted him to obtain
an education and later started him in
business. He afterward attempted to
learn the carpenters trade but his love
for reading and study triumphed, and he
decided to enter the law. He was ad-
mitted to practice in 1899. He took a
prominent part in the presidential cam
paign of William Henry Harrison. He
went to congress from his district in 1Sd3
and was reelected in 1874, his term end
ing in 1S47. President Zachary Taylor
offered Mr. Ramsey the governorship Of
the territory of Minnesota April 2, lS49.
The new governor arrived with his family
May II, 1S49, and issued proclamation
four days later, declaring the territory
organized. Among his notable official acts
was the negotiation. Of the treaty of 1851.
with the Sioux at Traverse de Sioux, and
with the Chippewas at Pembina. He was
elected governor Of the state in 1859 and
was reelected In 1851. He was made
United States senator in 1858, served
twelve years in that capacity, and was
afterward appointed secretary of war and
the navy. :"%' +" D.. ~ -

not RAG TINE TEMPO
Bands in Veterans Parade at Ma
nional G. A. r. Encampment
May Play Anything,
Provided, However, It Is Not Faster
Than Ninety Steps to the
Minute.

"Ain't 1t a Shame" the ''Tannhauser'
march, Dixie Chopins "Marche
Funebre. =" Good Morning, Carrie"-any-
thing they please can be played by the
Grand Army bands at the Washington en-
campment. The veterans may march, even
as the soldiers Of CORVALLIS marched out
of Yorktown. to the tune Of THE Worlds
Turned Upside Down. .~ .&-.- -
Neither rag time music nor any other
variety will be directly prohibited at
Washington" said Adjutant General Tow
Ter this morning, lin spite of all the redic-
ulous reports that have been published.
Only one restriction has been made. The
parade order specifies that in the big pa
rade the tempo will be ninety steps to the
minute instead of the 120 fixed by .regu-
lation for the regular army and the. nat
ional guard. .. ~. 8.
But tempo of ninety to the minute is
too slow for rag time, while 120 would fit
it very we'll. So don't suppose that any
band will try to salute the president with
Mr.. Dooley.' - ~ .-r.>.
1.-THE 90-step tempo was ordered because
it used to be the regulation tempo in the
army and the boys are used to it. And,
besides, they don't feel lively enough
these days to keep up a 120-gait +.
''No other restriction will be attempted.
No suggestion has been made, as alleged
that Marching Through Georgia. will be
prohibited because its associations are
distasteful to our friends that wore the
gray. The grand army bands have played
that tune because it's good old war-time
melody. 1nspiriting and familiar, just as
the same bands have played Dixie and
will keep on playing it. We're no more
revengeful in listening to Marching
Through Georgia than we are disloyal in
applauding Dixie. Many a good Aneri-
can now has marched and fought to both
these airs And I might say that Abraham
Lincoln called upon a band to play Dixie
soon after the surrender of Lee was All
| nounced at Washington. I think were
fairly entitled to that tune said the presi-
dent, it seems to me we've captured it.
May Play "AnythIns."
Another eminent officer of the Army
who wished to remain unnamed, remarked
| to-day, with a certain emphasis, "All this
talk about rag time music being demanded
or prohibited at Washington is an: exh1-
! bition of absolute asininity The bands car
play anything on top of the earth.
| "There'I be hundred bands at the en-
| campment Some of 'em can't play al
all, some can play one tune and the same
| tune over again, and a good many Other
bands think they can play more things anc
play 'em better than the Banda Rosa
Godfrey's British band, the Marine band

ripening Of corn and the late varieties will re-

Some flint corn is being cut In small quantities
from Grow Wing county southwark along the
Mississippi. There is q good deal of corn this
season which will be caught by frost unless cold
weather holds off unusually late. As soon az
this corn Ia frosted it should be cut without de-
lay, and if possible before rain, in order that
it may be saved in the best condition.

eAkK's THoRoueHHREDs AT THE
DEWEY.


"Pinky Panlxy Poo" which, by the way,
is neither a new sort of ping pong nor
curly haired dog, but a new song, is the
hit of the performance at the Dewey this
week Originally introduced in THE De-
fender" a musical comedy now running
in the east, the song at once became
popular there, as it will be here. 1t was
encored five times at the matinee yes
terday., The piece is sung by Harry Tai
ly, assisted by a chorus of Chinese maid
ems in flowing kirnonos' and bearing light
ed joss sticks. The effect, when the stage
is lighted only by the tiny sparks of the
many mosquito chasers,' Is novel and
the oriental conceit has a distinctive
charm. The melody is pretty, but not
"catchy.''
Considered in it's entirety, the Dewey
has, this week, the best bill of it's sea-
son up to now. The organization Is
known as Frank B. Carr's Thorough
breds,' and it provides excellent enter
tainment for Dewey patrons. The open
ing burlesque has been called IA Wood
en- Wedding" Any other name would
be equally inappropriate: 1t opens with
the SOLDIERS Chorus" from Faust" a
decidedly 'pretentious undertaking for a.
burlesque company, but selection that
makes hit Notwithstanding. Other good
musical interpretations are "Mr. Dooley,"
Fascinating Eyes, princess Zulu"
and a double quartet, In the manner Of
FloradOra.
The best thing in the olio is the aero
batic work Of Polk and Tresk, who have
been seen here before, but who have i'm
proved their turn" materially since their
last visit. Blanche Washburne and Josie
Flynn, billed as the animated two,'
make good their claim to the title; Craw-
ford and Manning present a good black
face act; the Empire City Quartet is above
the average, and Miss Frances Harrison
sings a number of ballads we'll enough to
win her several encores. Hea1y and
Farnum contribute good dancing act,
| but their comedy is very sad.
| Both burlesques are deliberately staged,
the costumes being new and pretty, and
| the scenery adequate.

Says Of 500 Road Outlook.
That the 500 road will presently join
the ranks of dividend-paying railways is
stated in the annual report recently issued
by President Shaughnessy Of the Canadian
Pacific company. Referring to subsidiary
lines, ne speaks Of the improvement in the
earnings of the Duluth, South Shore q

1.-THE increase in the net revenue of the
Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste Mario
railway company is very striking, the net
surplus, after payment of all charges for

and prudent policy on the part Of the di-
rectors OF the latter company will, with
out doubt have your approval and COM

is reasonable to expect that dividends on
the shares in that company, held in your
interest, will be Forthcoming in the near

WHO PULLED THE TROLLEY?
Some One Said To Be Guilty Of Act
Which Caused Sundays Wreck

Claims are being made by passengers
on the trolleyycar that was wrecked near
Fort Smelling Sunday night, that one Of
the passengers pulled the trolley from
the wire, putting out the lights which
served as signal for the car following
and thus causing the accident. The street
car company is investigating the matter,
and If the guilty person can be found,
he will be prosecuted. ~
A resolution is being prepared to be
submitted to the st. Paul city council,
which will require the carrying of a red
oil light on the rear. of every, car. This
resolution is the outgrowth Of the acct
dent.
Three Of the victims Of the accident
