BUCKEl.SH0P AGITATION
STARTS IN NEW YORK-MAY
SPREAD TO THE WEST-LOCAL
MEN NOT ANXIOUS IT SHOULD.

Chamber of Commerce men are
wondering whether the antibucket
shop agitation now gathering force in
New York will extend to other centers,
and whether it will mean a renewal Of
the fight in Minneapolis. A few days
ago H. K. Pomroy, new president of
the New York Stock Exchange
dropped a hint in his inaugural adj
dress, at more aggressive methods,
and the Consolidated Stock Exchange
of New York is even now getting after
the shops. The recent failure Of
Woodend and other big bucket shop
men caught a great many traders.
These Immediately set UP the old cry
that in the shops they traded on the
posted continuous quotations of the
regular exchanges and consequently
supposed they were doing business
with houses backed by them.
This raises again the old question of
how to prevent the shops from obtain
ing the quotations, the question that
has been fought over IN the courts for
years, concerning; which there have
been no, less than seven decisions or
reversals within year or two.
TO the officers t Of the G exchanges ar Is
Western Union Telegraph company
makes the statement that his company
is required by law to transmit such
matter,and that III the police depart
ment will say to the Western Union
that any specified firm is conducting g
| bucket shop, the telegraph company
will at once cut it off, but will not take
the responsibilities attached to an I'M.
! tiatory move.
But for the fact that the New York
Stock Exchange has policy of work.
| ing alone a strong combination Of al
| exchanges against the bucket shop
evil might be formed, and it may bt
| formed anyway.
Sentiment here is largely against {
renewal of the fight at present. TIL,
! Minneapolis Chamber won no glory il
the last fight and came out the wors,
] for 1t In at least one round. Mean
! while, it is said, the big shops Of tn
northwest are no longer doing so 1arg'

Minneapolis seems about to fall in
line with an important advance move
ment in social development, that of
utilizing the large and expensive
plants Of the public schools as social
centers for the improvement of their
neighborhoods. At a meeting held
yesterday afternoon at Bethel settle
ment the sentiment strongly favored
such action.
The meeting was presided over by
DR.. c.. M. Jordan, superintendent Of
schools, and the schools of the vicinity
were presented by their principals.
After a general discussion that
those present the following resolution,
presented by DR.. M. D. Shutter, was
passed:
Resolved, That a committee Of five be
appointed from this meeting to formulate
plans for the larger use of our public
ing understood that they shall consult
with the board of education and that any
action taken shall be with the approval
Of the board Of education and under its
direction.
The committee will be appointed by
DR.. Jordan.
The meeting was arranged by Miss
Irene Osgood Of the Associated Chair

need of good influences to offset the
evil influences that are always active
The plan proposed is the use of the
schoolhouses as clubs for the district
providing some place to go where the
influences are uplifting. The parents
as we'll as children will benefit by such
an arrangement and the association in
| such a center will help to preserve
family unity.
The tendency of the meeting was
conservative and Edwin Solenberg, the
new secretary of the Associated Chart.

plan, also bespoke the management
Of conservative men. Professor D. H
Painter gave an outline of the enter.

economic value of such a plan, the
present method of using the schoo
buildings for but five or six hours {
day being wasteful.

Mayor OF Minneapolis

In dire need is the family Of Will
lam Lockwood, who died Of smallpox
at his home, 2436 Twenty-hfth avenue
S. May 10. Lockwood died leaving his
family with nothing and without a
cent of insurance.
Not only that but the disease by
which he had been stricken had al
ready taken members Of other
branches of the family, thus at once
increasing the family expenses and
cutting off sources of assistance from
which Mrs. Lockwood and her child
rem might otherwise have expected
help. The result is the family is ut
terly destitute and dependent upon the
aid of sympathetic neighbours.
There are seven in the stricken fam
lily, the mother and six children, al
under the age at which they could be
of assistance or self-supporting. The
youngest is six months old and the
oldest fourteen years.
The need Of the family is urgent
The members are in actual distress
| now, and contributions should be
prompt to be most effective and in or.
| der to enable the mother to make
some plans for the future.
Contributions will be received by

CYCLE PATHS PASSING

City Wreckers Prepare the Way for Tree
Planting.
Several local cycle paths will be de-
stroyed this summer A wrecking crew
tackled the Penn avenue path from Nine
teenth avenue N to Crystal Lake avenue
this morning. The property owners want
trees in front of their land, and, as no
one seems to care to have the path main
tanned, it will disappear.
Orders have been given to Street Com
missioner McMullen to remove the path
on Humboldt avenue from Fifth to Sixth
avenue, and on Cedar Lake road from
Ash to Oliver.
In many places the paths are made un-
necessary by new paving, while others
are used by little. The city spent over
900 on the cycle paths, but as most
of the money came directly from the
wheelmen thru the sale of bicycle tags,
the city is not out.

Liberty Bell VIII larry but Few Hou

There is very little doubt but that the
old Liberty bell will come to Minneapolis,
altho no definite assurance on that point
has been given. Even if it comes, the
stay here will be short. The contemplated
itinerary calls for only four hours in Min
neapolis and should the train be delayed,
even this brief visit will be curtailed
The bell will not be removed from the car
in which it travels, which will be side
tracked for few hours in one of the rail-

Army Report.
Total Strength of the Army is-68,-
94o Men, 1871 Officers.

Washington. Nov. I4.-The an
nual report of General c. +. Aims
worth, the military secretary Vi
the army the first issue from his
Office since its creation by congress
at its last session, gives the total
strength of the army at the close of
the last fiscal year at 1871 officers
and 68, GAO enlisted men. The loss
of officers from death, dismissal,
retirement and other causes was
I55. The number of enlisted men
lost by death was $50.
A reduction in the number of
malarial fever cases at West Point
is attributed to mosquitoes. Speak
ing of the cadets the report says it
is believed the closest observance of
the regulations regulating the
treatment Of the first class is due as
much to an increasing disposition
to yield ready obedience to authori-
ty as to the fear of the results of
disobedience.
The average cost of subsisting Of
cadets was stated to be 64.3 cents
against $50 cents the previous
year.
This increase in cost, " the re-
port recites, twas partly due to
the unusually high price of all food
supplies and partly to the main
tenance of an extra table during
the active athletic season, and tothe
visits of instruction made by the
classes during the year"

An Editors Advice
You Will Regret it if You Fail to
See the Fair.

The Editor of the Montclair,
(Colo. Mirror writes as follows:
The Worlds Fair is the greatest
that has been or ever will be seen.
Certainly the present generation
will not see its like. The twenty
first century will dawn before any
nation will attempt to surpass it.
Tie frightful cost will deter any
country from embarking in SINH
lar enterprise for many years. Be
sides this the increasing facilities
for travel in every land will make
such expositions unnecessary. The
prosperous people of the world will
go abroad. In the permanent local
exhibits, such as Denver will have
in connection with her auditorium,
the throngs Of globe trotters will
see the products Of every nation.
All cxpositions have been unproft-
able to the communities that got
them up.
Therefore this is chance Of a
life time. Co, if you can borrow
the money. Go, if you have to
lose your job. There will be other
jobs, but there will not be another
such an exposition while you live.
Go, if you have to do without
new dress or a new suit. Go, if
you have to pawn your encyclope-
dia, for when you return you will
have its contents in your head and
can, if need be, let the pawnbroker
keep it. Whatever you do, go to
the fair. If you don't, you will
regret it, once a day to your dying
hour.

SOusa Coming

The Incompatible Sousa and his
world famous band, being once
more engaged upon a concert tour,
will be heard here on Tues. Nov. y
at the opera house which will mark
the first appearance here ofSousa.
His third successful tour ofEurope,
during which he played in no less
than thirteen different countries,
occupied the greater part of last
year, since when the popular con
ductor has been enjoying his first
real vacation for eight years.
A Sousa concert is exactly the
right kind Of entertainment for the
people. His music makes the
blood course swifteI through the
bopy; it imparts feeling of elation
and promotes good nature. 1t is
satisfying to the ear, to the intelli-
gence and TO the senses at the same
time. 1t is good music, popular
music, and interpreted by the
greatest Of band conductors through
the medium of the greatest of all
bands. 1t has its we'll defined
place in the musical scheme of the
world, and the fact that Sousa has
been accepted by all the musical
Of the world is anassurance
Of its positive intrinsic artistic
worth.
There will be no positive change
in the character Of the Sousa con-
certs, but Mr.. Sousa will have
much that is novel and Of immedi
ate Interest to present to his audi
ences. Estelle Liebling, soprano,
Jessie Straus, violinist and Herbert
L, Clark, cornetist, are his chief
;oloists.
