ALDERMEN DISAGREE

on the Municipal Electric

start the feeling that developed between
the members at the meeting held Tuesday
night was in evidence. There was con-
! tinual sparring for points between Alder
men Shea and Wood. The meeting was
called for the purpose of legalzng the
| $4,000 bonds voted at a citizens meeting
| for the purpose of securing the Offices of
| the Rutland railroad, to consider a prop

| < Telegraph Co. and to hear the report of

| cations as to the cost of installing a mum
| icipal electric lighting plant. The latter
| matter was the only one considered. All
| the aldermen were present except Alder
| man German, who was out of the city.
When the matter of the Investigations
of the committee relative to an electric
| plant was brought up heated discussion
developed Aldermen Shea and Courtney
| vigorously opposed any statement as to
what had been done by the committee,
while Aldermen Wood and Trick thought
| tnat the present board, who instituted the
proceedings, should know what their

of office. Aldermen Shea and Courtney

home rule, too, and if we are united
we will get it. People wonder why we
are not satisfied with half loaf. but
II they only knew our country and our
people they would not be surprised at
our attitude. England realizes that she
has made a failure of her course in
Ireland. When they offered us the
land bill, we did not thank them. We
told them 1t was what was coming to
us. and no more. If there has been any
capitulation, it has been on the pIrt
of England and the landlords. They
have seen the population of Ireland
dwindling away at the rate of nearly
$4,000 people a year. and they want to
stop it. We could have had the land
bill, home rule and practical freedom
two years ago if we had given England
the sympathy she desired in her war
of conquest against the Beers. But we
were a libertyloving people and
spurned the offer. We fought her tooth
and nail in that campaign of ignominy
and conquest. Not an ounce of SYM
pathy did she receive from US. Every
defeat she suffered we gloried in, and
we were not backward in it's exempli-
fcation. 1 tell you Ireland's day is

The shortage of houses was aptly

almost exhausted, into a chair After
a rest of a few moments she told her
troubles, which were due entirely to a
shortage of houses, which has been a
feature of life in st. Paul this spring.
I'VE had to move out April IT, said the
woman because we neglected to renew
our lease. The moving man took our
goods out the back door as the stuff of
the new householder came in the front.
We had no place to go, SO the goods went
to storage and my family was distributed
among the more fortunate friends. In the
meantime l have been everywhere and
would have been content with most any
sort of house that would have fur
nished dry roof over our heads, but
everything seems to be rented
The brokers sympathized with the
woman, but were compelled to inform her
that they had nothing on their lists, and
that there were scores of applicants ahead
of her. She left the office disguised and
discouraged
Dozens of families have found them
selves in the same position this year, and
some of them have not yet found the way
out.
In ST. Paul most of the people are
housed In separate dwellings, g for fort the oI fat
up only lately. The average rental in
the inside residence districts ranges from
$40 to $25 month for a four-room house,
and from $35 to $50 for one of seven
rooms. 1t was hard for many people to
meet this decided increase, even though
they were able to find house.
She Solved the Problem.
1--WE simply could not afford to pay s25
for four-room house." explained the
housewife, "and we had a neighbor who
similarly nl9Cpd W9n66rinQS
l ran across a siX-room house which was
offered for $50. 1 went to this other
woman and proposed that We take the
house together. We discussed it from
every point Of view. In favor Of the
plan was the reduced rent, saving or
$40 per month, which may not seem
much, but with which one can do such
a lot of things.
Fortunately we had two children

same salary. This balance was favor

SALTWATER
Bazaar BLAZES
Early Morning Fire Soon Tn
der Control, but the Loss
Will Be Heavy.

Fire did considerable damage to the
Bazaar department store of Saltwater,
on South Main street, opposite the
First National bank, at an early hour
this morning. The blaze was discov-
cred at lilo, and had gained Roadway
before it could be brought under con-
troll.
For a time it seemed that the entire
building would be destroyed, but the
fire department worked vigorously, and
the only damage caused by the fire
was confined to the rear part Of the
building, including injury to the stock
from smoke and water.
1t was impossible to estimate the
loss to the stock this morning, but as
its aggregate value is said to amount
to $4,000, the loss will probably be
heavy, for the store was filled with
smoke and the stock suffered greatly
from water.
The Bazaar includes four depart
ments. The dry goods department is
owned by L. L. Nelson, jewelFy, F. L.
Grace & Co.; crockery and notions, J.
S. Schlitinger; shoes, E. L. Chase.

Fully 300 persons greeted Joseph
Devlin, a member of the English tuuse
of parliament, at Mozart hall last even
ing. Mr.. Devlin is making a tour Of
the United States in the interest of the
United Irish league, and the movement
now on foot for Irish home rule, and
he was successful to the extent that a
branch of the order will shortly be
organized in st. Paul.
Mr.. Devlin was the speaker of the
evening, and his eloquence was so great
that he was frequently Interrupted with
enthusiastic cheering, and at the close
there was a rush for the stage,
where a general Misunderstanding followed,
and he was promised the aid and sup
port of nearly everyone present.
Ireland, according to Mr.. Devlin, is
approaching period in its sEry that
is unparalleled in the 100 or more years
that the Irish parliament has been out
of existence. The Irish secretary,
George Wyndham, of his own volition,
is fathering a land bill that if enacted
will blot from the face of Ireland
the landlord element that his been the
curse of Erin for centuries. All this,
according to Mr. Devlin, has resulted
from the United Irish league, and it
promises even better-home rule and
an untrammeled Irish parliament. "The
United Irish league" said Mr.. Devlin
last night, has soltdif1ed the people of
Ireland from center to the sea. 1t has
taken up the threads of discord and
united them. 1t has removed the blot
that has shamed the face of Ireland
for years, and am here to say that
1t means Ireland's emancipation. The
Irish league may be new in name, but
1t is old in principle. 1t means Ireland
for the Irish and the land for the peo-
pie.
only by its most determined front"
said Mr.. Devlin last night, has Ire
land been able to secure from the
most autocratic secretary that it has
ever suffered under the concessions
that are now about to be granted
Eighteen months ago Secretary Wynd-
ham made the statement that England
was sick and tired Of Ireland. and in
tended to let it fight. out it's own trou-
bles with the landlords. Today he is
proposing the most radical land bill
that Ireland has ever seen. 1t is rev.
olutionary, yet it is partial freedom:
but we do not intend to let it stand at
that. Ireland cannot sell her birth
