BACK FROM. EAST
BIG BUSINESS MATTERS REST
s LIGHTLY UPON HIM.
Has Nothing to Say of Issue Of Bonds
and Their Sale Confirms Mr..
Goodrich's Statements as to Proz
posed Extensions in Minneapolis
and Other Improvements.

President Thomas Lowry of the 500
Line and of the Twin City Rapid
Transit company, returned this morn
ing from New York city after an ex-
tended absence. (
Success in financial undertakings
sits lightly on the shoulders Of this
leading Minneapolis promoter Of big
ventures. Therefore he, had little to
say in regard to the authorization of
$10,O00,OOO in Rapid Transit bonds
and the rapid taking up in the east
of the first $3,500,00O issue.
In regard to the proposed exten-
sions in the twin cities he indicated
that it was the desire to do the most
good to- all concerned in the way of
improvements. He confirmed T h e
J ournaIs recent interview with
Vice President Goodrich in which
were outlined the contemplated ex-
tensions Of the lines in Minneapolis
and the Improvement of the rolling

too busy to go to bali games. or the ball play
ing wasn't good enough, or something else At
any rate. along in June the clubs got into very
hard straits. The PLAYERS had not been paid
for weeks and none of them had cent. They
kept on playing because the managers kept them
supplied with meal tickets and there was moth
ing else for them to do if they wanted to eat.
"A new umpire came down to Dallas one time
and the players hal fin with him. He grew
very Indignant and beran plasterng on fines.
The players merely laughed at him. Before the
game was over he had fined everybody about
500 apiece and nobody cared. for there WASH t
500 in the combined treasury of the 1engue.
THAT night the umpire suwlsthe meal tickets
used. Next day he provided himself with n con-
duetor's punch and went into the game. A
player was impertinent.
{" Here You, " said the umpire. come here
THE player walked over. grinl,ing.

pire produced his punch and punched out lot

won't eat again this week.

A $4,000 FIRE
ON NlCOLLET AV.
HAUSER DUCK AND SHADE
CLOTH PLANT BURNS.
Flames, Had Good Headway. Before
Discovered, and, Tho Well Handled,
Caused a Heavy yLoss-Surrounding
Easements Flooded With Water.

A loss of $64, 700 was caused by a
fire which broke out early this morn
ing in the four-story brick building
at 213-215 Nicollet avenue. A. S..
Grinnell, owner Of the building, and
the Hauser Duck and Shade Cloth
company, the principal occupants Of
the building, were the greatest losers
The loss on the building was $685.
900, on the Shade Cloth companys
stock and fixtures, $35,00O The other
losers were M. Goldman, confectioner
at 215 NicOllet avenue, who suffered a
loss of 81 900 from water damage; Pc
ter Carlson, saloon-keepers at %211 Mic
ollet avenue, whose place was also
damaged $1,000 by water, and Wong
building, whose 1oss Is $4,000. insur-
ance was carried upon the building
and stocks as follows aes Hauser Duck
and Shade Cloth company, stock and
fixtures, 4,600; A. S. Grinnell, on
building, s25, 900. Wong sChong, stock
and fixtures, $1,000; !, NJ. Goldman,
Carlson, stock and fixtures, $1,000.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but when it was discovered by officers
at the central police station, directly
across the alley, nearly all of the Sec
ond floor was on fire.
The fire spread rapidly from the
second to the two upper floors, and
within half an hour from the time the
fire was discovered the entire building
saw that they could not save. the
building, SO they devoted their at
tention to protecting adjoining prop
erty, and so successfully did they
work that the adjoining buildings did
not suffer from the heat.
The burden OF the loss falls upon
the Hauser Duck and Shade Cloth
company, as the stock and fixtures
of the concern are completely de-
stroyed. One Of the members Of the
firm said this morning that the COM
.pany had booked enough, orders for
early delivery to give it a clear profit
of over $4,000. Since the fire, it
may be necessary to turn part of
these orders to competing firms
In addition to the losses mentioned
above, several concerns on Nicollet
avenue, between Washington avenue
and Second street, will sustain losses
from water which has flooded all of
the Easements along the block. At
the Home Trade shoe store, 219 Mic
ollet avenue, several thousand dollars
worth Of stock in the basement was
slightly damaged. ,
The burned building was erected on
the site Of the old Deshon & Levi
livery stable, about 1876, and was
occupied as soon as completed by N.
B. Harwood & Co., wholesale dry
goods dealers, formerly Of St. Paul,
who also occupied the upper part Of
the Bracket block in the rear, on
the corner of First avenue S and Sec
ond street. After the failure of.N B.

In an interesting little paper upon the
grooming of wild animals it says that
from every point Of view the toilet of the
elephant is by far the most interesting
performance of the menagerie. 1t re-
quires at least four weeks to complete
the toilet of a single elephant. The oper-
alton is very expensive. The assistance
of the elephants valet de chambre must
be engaged by the day or week, while an
experienced valet-he is known by an
other name-must be engaged to super
intend the work, usually at a large salary
Then again the soap used in the process
must be purchased by the hundred weight,
the sandpaper by the gross, and the oil,
an important ingredient, is used by the
barrel he toilet of single elephant
