ALDERMEN TURN DOWN
DOBNER'S LAST REQUEST
Tenth Ward Member Sees Franchise
Ordinance Sent to Committee.

After making a strong speech con-
tending for the passage of the fran
chise ordinance extending the territory
In which the Union Manufacturing
company is permitted to do an electric
light and power business, and adding
a personal appeal for action, Add. Dob
ner was defeated at the aldermanic
session last night.
1t was a game fight. Dobner, real
izing that if he did not secure the
enactment at the time the probability is
that the measure viii be in committee
when he goes out of office, but on the
roll call the vote was to 5, franchise
ordinances requiring four flfths vote.
Voting in the misunderstanding, Elder,
Corning, .Rohland, Dahlquist and Dob
ner. In the negative-Buschman
Hinkens, Huber, Moriarty and Holt.
Subsequently, the vote was reconsidered
and the measure sent to the committee
on streets.
In arguing for the ordinance Mr..
Dobner stated that it is necessary that
the concern have more territory in
which to do business, now being lin
tied TO the Midway district, and held
that the factories and business houses
asked for the passage. He could see
no reason why there should not be
competition on electric lighting, and

BITE OF BIG FISH
KILLS A FARMER
John Beckman, Bitten While Fishing,
Dies Of Blood Poisoning.

John e. Beckman, thirty-seven years
old, died at Bethesda hospital Thurs
day night as the result of a bite by a
fish. Beckman, who was a farmer en-
ployed near Amery, went fishing a few
rods from the farm last Sunday. He
had unusual luck, and when he landed
a fish much larger than the others had
a rather hard time getting the hook
from it's mouth. During the operation
the fish bit Beckman on the finger.
The digit was badly lacerated. He
went home and applied home remedies,
but the finger began to swell and soon
his whole arm was infiamed.
A physician was consulted, but blood
poisoning had already developed. Mon
day he was brought to this city and
sent to Bethesda hospital, but his case
was beyond hope. Yesterday relatives
took the body back to Amery for
burial

SAW CUTS HALF WAY
THROUGH MANS ARM
Joseph Wisdorf Has Hand Almost Sew
cred by Wood Saving Machine.

Joseph Wisdorf, a twenty-year old
youth living at 80 Jessamine street,
had his left arm almost severed by a
woed-sawing machine yesterday after
noon.
Wisdorf was employed by Fred Heit-
miller, a wood sawyer. Yesterday aft
ernoon while at work near the ma
chine some boys began playing. around
the team to which the steam saw is
attached. Wisdorf threw a small stick
at the boys and in doing so his shirt
sleeve was caught in the rapidly re-
volving saw.
In an instant the saw cut through
the mans forearm to the bone. The
arteries were cut, but the hand was
not entirely severed. He was taken
to the city hospital, where the injured
arm was dressed. At a late hour last
night OF was not known whether the
hand could be saved.

ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION
KILLED BY TEN TO ONE
Measure Denying Saloon License to
Charles Frerch Is Slaughtered.

The assembly resolution instructing
the city clerk to refuse to issue a sa-
loon license to Charles Frerch, al
legged brother -in-law of ]. G. Sodini,
was slaughtered by a practically unan-
imous vote by the aldermen last even
ing.
When the first of the resolutions
was read Aid. Bantz asserted that it
was not worth the paper 1t was written
on, and asked that it be defeated. Some
one followed with a motion to send
the resolutions to committee.
Kill Them" said Aid. Huber, rap

The vote on the resolution declaring
that the license should date from the
time 1t was granted was defeated by
a vote of 10 to /, Dahlquist casting
the affirmative vote. The resolution
instructing the city clerk to refuse to
issue the license was killed by unani-
nous vote.

JAP BALKS AT TIP
rendered BY WAITER
Son of Tokyo Tobacco Mer.
chant Resigns Position as
Beiiboy.

The American tip evil was given
crushing blow by a loyal subject Of
the nikado at the Merchants last
night when T. 'Nakagawa, one of the
eight Japanese bellboys employed at
the hotel, quit his job when proffered
a tip of 10 cents by waiter from the
dining room
T. Nakagawa, though the son of a
wealthy japanese tobacco manufac-
turer and the possessor of fine Japa-
nese education, is not afraid of work,
but he could not stoop to the level of
accepting tips, and for this reason his
work as bellboy has been somewhat
distasteful to him. Being informed
that 1t was a part of the business to
accept tips when offered by guests,
the young man made no complaint I'M
til last night, when the tip was offered
by waiter. That was the limit of
Nakagawa's forbearance, and he is
now searching for employment in some
private family, where he may earn his
own living while pursuing his desire to
learn the English language and Ameri-
can manners.
Nakagawa, together with seven other
japanese boys, came to st. Paul three
months ago, being brought here from
Seattle to replace the coIored beIlboys
at the Merchants. Like several of his
companions, Nakagawa came to Amer
ica and sought employment more for
the purpose of gaining an opportunity
to secure an American education than
Tor the money there was in the venture,
as his family is wealthy and he does
not have to work
Having secured good education in
Tokyo, the young mans ambitions led
him beyond the narrow confines of his
own country, and believing a hotel to
be an excellent place in which to come
in contact with all kinds of Americans
and a good place to learn the English
language in a practical manner, he
took the position as bellboy
He scorned to accept aid from his
father, and determined to make his
own way in the world he came to
America with the intention Of work.
ing among Americans until fall, when
he will enter preparatory school with
a view of going to Harvard as soon
as he qualities. Accustomed in his own
home to servants of all kinds he was
reluctant to accept the tips offered
to him by well meaning travellers, and
more than once discussed the evil with
his companions, some of whom were
similarly situated. When the waiter
offered him 10 cents Nakagawa decided
1t was time to call a halt, and he did.
Nakagawa was offered position by
local physician, who employs a Japa-
nese chef, but declined it, saying he
preferred to get into a family where
he would not meet with any of his own
countrymen.
II came to America to learn the
American language" he said, "and I
want to find a place where I will have
to speak it altogether"

growth, it is unnecessary to repeat, Is a blessing to all who are connected with them, and every dollar added to their strength is a dollar laid aside by policyholders just as much as though it went into the savings bank.
 There need he no fear that this ac- emulation of wealth is dangerous, any more than one need fear the steady prosperity of all the country, for it is merely representative of the thrift and foresight of a considerable portion of our population. Those who sit up nights worrying over the accum- ulating wealth of our excessively rich men may find a grain of consolation in the the thought that the life insur- ance companies are not only richer than our wcalthiest citizens, but are growing in affluence, or importance, more rapidly than any private inter est. The buying power of the great insurance companies is a steadyins force in the investment; it is a regula c- ing factor in the financial world, and through ramifications which extend from ocean to ocean, a conservative influence which guarantees peace and orderliness in a larger measure than suDnosed

COLLEGE SPORTS AND MORALS.

The figures relating to athletic sp1rts at Harvard in President Eliot's annual report make 9n interesting slewing of the extent to which the college boy now goes in for physical training.
 Out of the 4.276 students in all depart ments of the university 2,963, O. 69 per cent, answered the formal inquiries of the college authorities as to their par ticipation in g1rnes and gymnasium eX- ereises. It appears that all but 220 took fairly regular exercise of some kind during the year. Lawn tennis attract ed most, 1892 engaging in it.
 Perhaps the most surprising revelai- ton is that of the large number talk ng part in the heavier forms Of athlaticS. Thus. l56 played football, 446 baseball and 424 9ractised rowing. That is to say, nearly 90 per cent. of the entire corps of students directly engaged in the games which are commonly sup posed to be played by only the oho ,en few.
 In the light of these figures it is well to recall Prof Lowell's statement at the Harvard dinner in New York that the increase of wealth at the unive sity has brought with it mo increase oi vice. owing largely to the clean influ- ence of athletics" The antagouism of athletic training 10 immortality was never more cOnvinciDgly set fovth.- New York World.

According to MT. Van de Carr's ac- count the assault was wanton, brutal and dastsrdly. The fact that he had pulled the cord signaling the motorman to stop could not possibly warrant any physical attack on the passenger. This case. no doubt, will be settled in the courts, and the conductors side of the stcr,' is to be heard; but the railway authorities should understand that the public will not tolerate any ruffianism on the part of their employees. Many of the latter on the road named. as well as on the city company's cars, are cour- teous and considerate in their treat ment of passengers; but there are some who are rank offenders against decency in their treatment of the public. Con- ductors should be informed that they nave no right to lay a hand on a pas senger, unless the latter is creating a disturbance. end then only so much force can be used under the law as is essential to the maintenance of order. Specific instances of rudeness might be cited, but this general warning ought to be sufficient.-Rochester (N. Y) News Democrat.

Enormous insurance Figures.

The three leading life insurance companies have issued their annual statements, and the figures presented of financial magnitude are in them selves almost startling. According 10 the New York Financier. the combined assets of these companies aggregate nearly 1.136 millions of dollars, a sum larger than the total deposits of the clearing house banks of New Yorl, city and one-half as large as all the actual money in circulation in the Un- ited States. These vast resources do not represent corporate or monopolis- tic accumulation, as the word is under stood. The great insurance companies are merely cooperative bodies made up of hundreds of thousands of units in the form of policy holders, who, in fact. are the companies, and could, if they chose, or the occasion required. exercise a dominant voice in their di- rection.
 The three companies have outstand- ing insurance to the amount of over 4,4O0 million dollars, and seem to be adding to the total at the rate of about 75O millions annually. Insurance in force from year to year does not reveal an increase as large, for the reason, of course. that lapses. death payments. etc.. cut into the totals. The three companies are paying to policyholders, in satisfaction of claims, something like 125 millions of dollars every year. and their income last year was more than 239 millions, or about two- thirds of a million dollars for every day in the year. One of the three largest concerns makes the announcement that it has returned to policyholders since it first organized more~than 630 mill- ions. It is safe to say that the total for the three companies approaches 1,50O millions. About the only compar- ison that can make plain what this means is to say that the three insur- ance companies have paid in claims sum one-half larger than the pres- ent national debt
 The ultimate growth of the leading life insurance companies has not beer reached. One concern is now over the 400 million mark in resources. and it is only a question tof time when the three already cited pass the half bill ion mark. There is nothing to stor them, so far as known. from obtaining billion dollar altitude in time. Theil
