wisdom of the local ordinance which
requires the fireproof curtain to be
lowered once every evening to insure
it's good working order.'
The Westminster Gazette points to
the terrible regularity with which

necessary to public security are the
theater regulations which SO often are
deemed oppressive.
Ambassador Choate's Answer.
To the lord mayors message Of
sym pathy, which was also transmit

which it will be forwarded to the state

States in the tragic calamity at Chicago,
and thank you most sincerely. I have
transmitted it to Washington.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Concerning Captain Castles Successor
Position Onered f. G. Ingersoll.

Concerning Captain Castles Successor
Position Offered F. G. Ingersoll.
Washington Dec. 31.-It is under
stood here that when Senator Clapp
@went to st. Paul for the holidays, he
was authorized as the result Of an
agreement between himself and Sena-
tsr Nelson, to offer the position of
auditor of the postoffice department,
now filled by Captain Castle, to F. G.
.Ingersoll of ST. Paul, and if IngersOll
did not want it, then to offer it to J.
]. McCardy.
Ingersoll has been mentioned sew
eral times within the past two years
for federal appointment most recent
1y when Senator Nelson tried to have
corporations of the department of
commerce and labor. Ingersoll Is a
lawyer, and may possibly find little to
attract him in Captain Castles posi-
: tion. which has to do largely with &C
counting. If McCardy is finally Sc
lected, it is said here it will be be-
cause Ingersoll has declined.

ICE ORDINANCE INVALID
JUDGE HOLT ADMINISTERS
KNOCKOUT TO ALDERMAN
DWYER'S LAW AS TO CUTTING
ICE IN RIVER.

According to decision handed
down by Judge Holt in the police
courtstthis morning, Alderman Dwy-
er's ice ordinance is invalid.
The decision was made in refer
ence to the case of John Gadbois, who
was arrested for euttingtice on the
river without permit.
Judge Holt. t.held that the ordinance
was too broad in that it prevented
any one from cutting ice on all rivers
in and out Of the city. According to
the city charter the council may make
ordinances to insure the safety of
the public health, but it must be
shown that the violation of the ordi-
nance will endanger public health.
The ordinance was therefore declared
invalid and the charge against Cad
bois was dismissed. %2i -

taclsing the tea-laden ships then lying
in that port and throwing the tea into
the harbor.
The patriots realized that an open
attack would be doomed to failure
from the start, so they dressed them
selves in the blankets and feathers
worn by the Indians, who were numer-
GUS in New England at that time, and
having further disguised themselves
with paint they rowed out to the tea
laden ships, overpowered their crews
and threw the ,inwelcome tea into the
harbor. WHAT they did Is safe in his
tory and Is known to all the world.
1t has been partly because of the
worldwide Importance Of what the
Tea Party did in that little tavern
room that the tavern itself has been
preserved for all these many years.
Partly, it has been because practically
