CITY NEWS
DECLINES THE TASK
Police Chief Wants Council to
Handle Concert Licenses.

With several amendments, made by the
committee on streets, the ordinance de-
signed to regulate concert and dances
where liquor is sold will come before the
assembly Thursday evening.
At the instance Of Chief Of Police
O'Connor the provision in the ordinance
shall be approved by him before being
considered by the council was stricken
out. The chief sent word that while he
was willing to assist the council by giving
all the facts in his possession he did not
desire that he be given the power to re-
fuse a license
License Inspector Jessrang explained
that the ordinance was designed to reg
ulate the increasing number of saloons
that are adding vaudeville and dancing
features, and Rev. David Morgan came
forward with the suggestion that one man
and not the city council should be made
responsible for the enforcement Of the
ordinance
1T is easy to find one man. he said,
but when it comes to seeing all the
members of the council it is a job I
think the chief Of police should be made
responsible for the enforcement Of the
ordinance
At the instance of Assernblyrnan Wheel
er an amendment was adopted cutting
down the term Of the license from one
year to six months, the fee to be S25 for
each half year.
With these amendments Incorporated by
the corporation attorney the ordinance
will be reported to the assembly and rec
commended to pass

THE vAeARIEs OF THE SEX.

Whether she votes in Colorado, man.
ages a worlds exposition and a male
board of managers in st. Louis, or
plays the social game in New York,
the gentle American dame invariably
exhibits enough Of those Vagaries which
the world has come to associate with
the eternal feminine to prove to it
that custom has not been able to stale
the sex's infinite variety. She con-
tinues to smuggle fine clothes and to
call the street car conductors atten-
ton to the fact that she has not paid
her fare. She stuffs a ballot box in
the cause of purity and strengthens
that she may fight the liquor traffic.
She advocates in club papers the sim
pie life and is forced to spend several
weeks Of each year in ''rest cure"
hospital because. of a too strenuous
existence. She continues to be, as she
has always been, consistently incon-
sistent.
And simply because the world has
come to expect from her the unex-
pected, the most heroic action wom-
an is capable of impresses as an
eccentricity rather than as the ex-
preston of a moral impulse or prin-
ciple. For instance, the woman of
Greater New York who protested this
week that her tax assessment was too
small will be denied the satisfaction Of
feeling that her action will live as an
influence to affect the attitude of the
general public. The general public,
alas, is never affected but always
amused when the eternal feminine
chooses to reveal itself in a picturesque
or bizarre fashion. Delighting in the
exhibition, it refuses to concern itself
with the principle or the impulse which
prompted it. Were John D. Rockefeller

PROOF OF THE FEEDING.

Twenty enlisted men of the United
States army were sent back to their
regiments yesterday after spending six
months at Yale. They have been on
duty at the Connecticut seat of learn
iug-not, we hasten to explain, as
armed men in the interests of peace,
but as subjects necessary to a series
of experiments tried for the purpose of
demonstrating the value Of a cereal
diet. The result Of the trial supports
the contention that the cereal diet is
the thing, according to the investiga-
tors. Merely as a matter of news it is
stated that there were twenty-six of
the subjects originally, but six lost the
number of the mess-four deserted and
two went insane.
While it is gratifying to know that
the condition of the survivors bears out
the scientific theory of the investiga-
tors there will be some little disap-
pointment felt by the public at the gen
eral results obtained. The missing six
give US cause for discomfort with the
soldier man. If these men had been
properly schooled as soldiers they
would not have had the exceeding bad
taste to cast discredit on the investiga-
ton by running away from their fodder
or losing their minds, in spite Of the
care bestowed upon them
The trouble with the regular army
man is that he is not sufficiently APP
preciative of what the scientists and
the general staff are doing for him.
He will go out into Philippine swamp
and live for eighteen days on a hand
full of quinine and six ounces Of mule
meat and not complain about it. He
will do garrison duty and remain
happy on company bread and that de-
lectable dish known to the service as
''slum." He win, when allowed, load
himself down on the march with ma
terial to make mtnce pie and will throw
away his shelter tent in order to carry
an extra ration Of indigestible bacon.
But when he is given good quarters
and unstinted fodder in the form of

or even John Brown to make the COM
plant that his tax assessment was too
small, the act would furnish a text for
sermons and a subject for other public
speech for weeks to come. 1t would be
regarded by press and pulpit as an in
dication of better things. The action
Of the lady OF Greater New York will
receive consideration, of course, but
it will be of a humorous nature.
The sex, therefore, may be regarded
as the victim of it's own vagaries. Be
cause the general public is looking
always for those to assert itself, it
underestimates constantly the value of
the motive which prompts an act like
that committed by the woman tax
payer of Greater New York Had the
officials in the tax department been
able to secure this WOman's photo
graph it would have been accorded a
place of honor, not because it repre-
sented an honest citizen, but because it
was tangible evidence of a new and
delightful vagary emanating from
sex which has the reputation for in
dulging in vagaries-a reputation
which the most determined effort Of
sober minded individual members has
never been able to destroy.

A HUMAN SACRIFICE.

Henry c. Payne, postmaster general,
is said to have been brought to the
verge Of the grave by the attacks that
have been made upon him in congress
as a result of the publication of the
Bristow report. 1t is stated on what ap-
pears to be good authority that there
is little hope of Mr.. Payne ever re-
turning to his desk. He is afflicted
with a constitute onal disorder, but the
gravity Of his condition has been
brought about by the nervous state to
which he has been reduced by criti-
cisms which he cannot answer.
If Payne dies it will be as a martyr
to an unworthy cause which he has
spent his life in fostering-the cause
of the spokesman in politics. A shrewd
and politically INSCRIPTIONS man, he
has never hesitated to promote the in
terests Of his party. He was placed at
the head of the postoffice department
in recognition of his party work, not
because he had any claim to a cabinet
position by virtue of his capacity as
citizen. He'was regarded simply as an
able politician and one who could prob
ably be depended on to maintain the
prestige of the postoffice as a great po-
Iitical machine.
So shrewd a man as Payne could not
escape the knowledge that the post
office department was being used for
the promotion of private interests; that
graft was the watchword of the spoils-
men in control. He has not been
charged with having a guilty knowl-
edge of what was going on, but he
must certainly have known that he
was living over a volcano and he was
not surprised when the expose came.
Now he is being bounded to death
by the very men who profited by his
complaisance. They would fix RESPONSE
bility upon him if they could, they will
do it yet, if possible. They admired his

in his mind the fact that parties are

PAPERS ARE BOGUS
italian Tells How Anti-i1arriSOn
Votes Were Sought.

NEW YORK, April 4. - Arnoldo
by the immigration authorities today
on the charge of having fraudulent
naturalization papers. If the story he
tells is to be believed, some Chicago
officials have been making citizens Of
foreigners who have not been in this
country the required time.
Waeber says that while living in San
Francisco he married and started for
Italy. He reached Chicago a year ago
on his way to New York. On the night
of April 2, 1903. he went to an italian
political club with 100 of his country
men. They were asked to hold up
their right hands and swear that they
forever renowned the king of Italy and
would ''be for all time to come a sub
ject of the king of the United States"
Each man, the Italian swears, was then
handed a certificate of naturalization.
Waeber says they were asked no ques-
lions as to how long they were in this
country, nor were they required to
pay any fees for the issuance Of the
papers.
In return for the free papers" Wac
Der says each man promised to vote at
the municipal election in Chicago a
week later and to register a vote
against Mayor Harrison. The Italian
says he left the following day with
his wife and a fellow countryman for
New York, where all three took a
steamer for Italy. After remaining in
Italy nearly a year Waeber and his
wife decided to return. On arrival the
immigration authorities found he was
not legally entitled to his citizenship
papers. When arraigned before United
States Commissioner Shields, Waeber
waived examination and was bound
over to the next federal grand jury.

STOCK YARD BREEZES
TOO MUCH FOR WARD
Second Warders Object to Odors Float.
ing Up From South St. Paul.

A new park fountain, a spring clean
ing of yards and alleys, a sweet breeze
from South st. Paul-these objects will
concentrate the immediate efforts Of
the Second Ward Improvement asso-
citation. Meeting last night at Bates
avenue and Seventh street, the associa-
ton pledged itself to erect the foun-
tain in the triangular plat Of land set
aside for park purposes at Seventh
and Forest streets. If after buying an
appropriate granite fountain any bal
ance is left of the $3.50 which the as
ISOLATION intends to contribute that
balance will be used to beautify a
similar plat at Third and Arcade
streets.
At the personal expense of R. W.
Bronson and Herman Deebach circu-
lars will be distributed urging ward
residents to clean yards and alleys at
once and to cut weeds on vacant lots.
When a communication from the
state board Of health was read, prom
is1ng ten weeks ago to check mephitic
odors from the South st. Paul
stock yards, several members an
nounced that southern zephyrs blowing
last week had evidently not ''breathed
upon bed of violets." The board Of
health will be asked to try again.

CREATING A SENTIMENT.

IT will probably be centuries before
grim visaged war smooths his wrinkled
front for good and all, but those who
read intelligently the signs of the times
must admit that the sentiment for uni
versal and perpetual peace is daily
growing in strength. Formerly the
sentimental alone owned to the senti-
ment; now common sense folk dare
proclaim it. From a UtOpian dream it
has developed into practical posi-
bility, although its contamination lies
in the distant future. And 1t is to that
futile Hague conference that the dream
undoubtedly owes its practical develop
ment. AS a result of the conference
the seed was sown in the mind of the
public, it took root and already the
plant begins to bear fruit.
The man who summoned representa-
tives from different countries to The
Hague to discuss ways and means for
preserving peace was not a practical
man. From what we can learn of one
so far away and so carefully shielded
from any contact with a curious public
Nicholas of Russia appears to be a
dreamer of dreams. Yet it is not re-
markable that he should be the crea-
tor of this public sentiment in favor of
a universal and perpetual peace, for it
is the dreamer as a rule who creates a
popular sentiment. The practical man
of affairs can take advantage of it to
accomplish some work that has ap-
pealed to hin as possible or necessary,
but seldom is he himself able to in
spire it.
Perhaps when this particular work
has been accomplished Nicholas part
in it will not be remembered, for his
is not a personality that stands out.
Moreover, the growth of a lasting pub
lie sentiment is so slow as to be al
most imperceptible. By the time the
widest circle is inscribed, we are apt to

thing is the sentiment itself, and it is
interesting to note that today public
sentiment in favor of peace has reached
a point where something of its strength
can be estimated. Here in this coun-
try we have we'll defined movement

A NEVER SICK GLIB

1t would seem that the world is go
the superiority of mind over matter.
Nothing is impossible to him who is
imbued with the new thought, and the
man who is not imbued with the new
thought is so very far behind the times
that he dare not air his old-fashioned
beliefs because of the ridicule they will
excite. This is the day of the healer,
and he is making hay while the sun
shines, for, unlike the oId-fashioned
salvation, new fashioned healing is not
free. However, there is evidence
everywhere that carnaI mind is show
ing disposition to rid itself of it's
carnality and to so purify itself that it
will be in a condition to act as it's own
healer. Whether this is an indication
Of a growing spirituality or merely of
an increasing thrift, it would be i'm
possible to say. At any rate, the dis
position reveals itself in many anus
ing forms.
For instance, a never sick club has
recently been formed by number Of
women The members have pledged
themselves never to acknowledge that
they are suffering from a pain or an
ache. They have sworn to be always in
the best Of health and spirits, or, at
least, to give the impression that they
are. For these women, that favorite
feminine ailment, the headache, has
ceased to exist. For them henceforth
there are no nerves" and "a tired feel
ing is something they will not ex-
perience in the future on pain Of loss of
membership in the club. They may
discuss, in club circles, Shakespeare
and the musical glasses and any other
subject that pleases their fancy, but
they may not dwell on their own all
ments or their husbands ailments or
their children's ailments.
Perhaps this is the most harmless
form Wnlcn, up TO date, the new
thought" has taken. We are all of us
altogether too fond of discussing our
own ailments, and it is no injustice to
the weaker sex to declare that it's
members are the worst sinners in this
matter. A woman is generally a hero
inc to her doctor, while a man is sell
dom a hero to his. But, on the other
hand, the woman who has recovered
from an ailment is a bore to her
friends, while a man in a similar case
is apt to forget his suffering as soon
as it is over. Whether the never sick
club will prove popular and whether
other women will follow the example
of it's members and taboo the subject
of i'll health, remains to be seen. They
certainly might do SO with profit to
themselves and pleasure to their
friends, although they certainly would
not be able to stamp out disease by
merely refraining from discussing it.

SPECIAL SIDEWALK
ASSESSMENTS VOID
Final Order Fails to Define Work and
Property Owners Save $7e4s4.

Because of uncertainty in the terms Of
final order providing for cement side
walks special assessments amounting to
$794.S4 to pay for the work are entirely
void. Such is the effect of an order filed
in the district court yesterday by Judge
Bum.
The case came before the court on an
application Of the city treasurer for judg-
ment against the real estate delinquent
upon this assessment, which was made in
1903, and was for cement sidewalks on
Carter avenue. keston street, Priscilla
street and NOurse street. The DIRECTORS
were Augustus Hemenway and eight other
property owners, whose objections are
sustained by the court.
The fault of the assessment lies in the
final order of the board of public works
as approved by the city council, and in his
memorandum Judge Bum says: THE
final order is so uncertain in defining the
work to be done as to be a nullity.'
