Big FUR FIRM NOW
IN ITS NEW HOME
Gordon & Ferguson Move Into
New Quarters on Lower
Fourth Street.

'"Tell them that's the finish,' said a
man with a big fur overcoat wrapped
about him, as he watched a big loaded
van move away from the building on
Fourth street that has housed Gordon
& Ferguson for SO many years.
The parting injunction was lost,
however, as the drivers big cap was
pulled over his ears, and the man him
self was too happy in his knowledge of
his load being the last one, to pay any
attention to what was said to him.
The driver yelled at his horses, pulled
them to the right of the street, and the
last load of the contents of Gordon &
Ferguson's big wholesale house was on
its way to its home on Gordon square.
The transfer of the Gordon & Fer
guson stock, together with the immense
machinery used in the manufacturing
department, Is one of the most remark
able feats accomplished in st. Paul in
many years. Some idea of the fmmen-
sity of the task may be gained, when
one reflects that it took an army Of 250
men ten days and nights to move the
stock from the old building to the new
one.
With the mercury bulb flirting with
points all the way from fifteen to thir-
ty-five degrees below, the men, under
the supervision of the heads of depart
ments and foremen, worked like Tro-
jams, and the fact that the work was
completed within ten days is consid-
cred remarkable.
Eighteen Years for One Man.
Had it been possible for one man to
shave handled the heavy boxes and
pieces of machinery it would have TAX
en- him almost eighteen years, at eight
hours per day, to have done the work
that was accomplished in ten days and
nights.
Gordon & Ferguson's new building on
Gordon square is one of the most mod
ern wholesale buildings in the United
States. The eight floors of the build
ing provide a floor space Of 10000
square feet, which Is $4,000 more feet
than was to be had in the firms build
ing on Fourth street.
The new machinery installed by the
firm for the manufacture of their hats
and furs, is all of the most modern
type and will enable the firm to in
crease it's output fully twenty-five per
cent.

DISCUSSES MUSIC
Miss Nora Smith, of Chicago,
Addresses Schubert Club.

The pleasure of listening to schol-
arly presentation of an interesting sub
ject was the reward of those who BRAY
ed the cold yesterday to attend the lee
ture recital given in the Odeon by Miss
Nora Smith, of Chicago. for the stu
dents section of the Schubert club.
Although suffering from an indisposi-
ton, Miss Smith pluckily insisted on
going through with the programme,
and her determined effort to give as
much as possible to her audience was
repaid with close attention. Beginning
with the classicists, the greatest of
whom, the lecturer said, were Haydn
and Bach. she traced the development
of music down to the So-called modern
school, the chief feature of which, Miss
said, was the massing of tones She
spoke of Bach's development and per-
fection of the fugue and for an Illus
tration played his d minor fugue. Her
reading of the fugue was very SchOl-
arly. After the classicists Miss Smith
took up the romantic school, naming
Beethoven, Chopin and Schumann as
it's representatives. In Beethoven's
music, she said, could be traced the in
fiuence of the time in which he lived.
The American Revolution had electri-
and the words liberty, equality, frater-
nifty, had begun to express new
meaning. They opened up new vistas
which affected the musician, the artist
and the poet. The composer poured out
his soul in symphonies and in sonatas
in which are discoverable the message
of a momentous period. Referring to
the directness with which emotion is
expressed in these compositions, Miss
Smith stated that Beethoven,s reluc-
his belief that the world could not
mistake his mood or the thought he
had to convey.
Taking up the modern school, the lee
turer said Wagner had brought the So
sion, and, she added, it was doubtful If
with it or would employ it so much. She
quoted from Herbert Spencer's essay on
'"The Origin Of Music" his hopeful fore
illustrate the modern school, she played
Prelude No. COP. p. While the COM
sessed the elements that enter into the
composition of all modern music. The
fact that there are elements in modern
music that are not national but inter-
national, she considered an indication
that the music of the future would eX-
press not so much national life as the
whole civilized worlds attitude toward
life.

revenue from the charter gross earn

torney Michael and his supporters in
the council are realized.
AS soon as the question of the street
railway company's status under the
charter gross earnings tax has been
disposed of the council lime-light will
be thrown upon the local telephone
companies.
Corporation Attorney Michael has
been asked if the Northwestern and Twin
City Telephone companies are not
amenable to the tax, but he has refused
to give an opinion until the street rail-
way measures are disposed of.
''They can be reached, think" said
Mr. Michael yesterday. Il have got one
thing on my hands now and don't care
to tackle anything more until that is
disposed of"
Mayor Smith May Precipitate 1t.

consultation with the legal department,
and the company's liability under the
charter provision would then become
known.
If the Northwestern, which Is now
operating under a state act, were COM
PEELED to pay the tax, the Twin City Of
necessity would have no alternative but
to come forward and pay its portion
also. Under it's franchise it must pay
the city per cent of its gross earnings
when any other company does.
Between the two companies, it is es-
timated, that a revenue of nearly $780,
900 would be secured if they were found
to be amenable to the charter tax pro-

Youths Companion: Night blindness is
a condition in which vision Is perfect, or
fairly SO, in daylight, but fails with the
setting Of the sun, and is not restored
under ordinary conditions of artificial IL
Elimination. The sufferer from night
blindness can usually see the light of a
candle or lamp when he looks directly at
1T, but he cannot read, even when the
light is thrown directly upon the page.
Usually, however, he sees well in a room
lighted brilliantly with electricity, the de-
gree of illumination then approaching that
of sunlight.
The cause of night blindness is believed
to be an exhausting Of the power OF Wis
Ion by too great light, for it occurs mainly
soldiers and sailors in the tropics,
who are exposed for many hours to the
glare Of the sun, and among arctic ex-
plorers, whose eyes are dazzled by renee
ton from the snow. On sMpboard 1t is
often associated with scurVy, ana per-
sons who are depressed physically or men
tally, or In n other way run down,
are more likely to suffer han the strong.
Sailors have a superstition that the trou-
Bile is duo to imprudence in sleeping on
deck in the moonlight, and this belief Is
enbodied in the term moon blink by
which they call 1t. The tropical moon Is
probably as guiltless in this respect as 1t
ia in the production of insanity, except
that it might act as he sun does, al
though, Of course, in a minor degree, IN
dazzling and already weakened eye.
The only treatment for night blindness
Is keeping away from bright light, or
protecting the eyes with goggles or q
bandage until the exhausted retina has
recovered it's tone.
