the female gypsy moth is weak-winged

GALLICK REFUSES
TO TIE THE KNOT
GrOOm'S Last So Goes for L.
Cense-Has Money Refund
ed and Defers NuptlaIs.

Like grim fate Court Commissioner
Henry Gallick stood yesterday after
noon blockading the entrance to matri-
monial happiness against two yearning
souls who would have entered.
Filled with hope and enthusiastic
trust in the future, and possessed of
cash capital of 81, Benjamin Duff, of
New York city, sought the Office of the
clerk of courts to secure license for
his marriage with Katherine Clarke,
also a resident of New York.
They knew that at this first gateway
to marriage a toll would be collected;
but they cared not for they had the
price, and they expected then to en-
ter hand in hand and Tive happily
ever after"
But here it was that they found
there was still another portal to pass;
and SOrdid thoughts of money were
forced upon them. Trusting in the po-
tency of the license they sought Judge
Gallick and asked that the knot be
tied; but the judge with his usual keen
eye to business bespoke his customary
fee.
What" inquired the prospective
groom, will there be anything more
to pay?"
Judge Gallick modest1y mentioned
the amount of his fee, but the you g
man sadly said: Il can't reach; paid
the last 50 had for this license
Some further discussion Of the stu
alton followed, but Judge Gallick re-
manned obdurate, and Mr. Duff sadly
returned to the clerks office where he
had the license Cancelled and his money
refunded.

There are at least thirty unlicensed
automobiles in St. Paul, and it will
be necessary to lock up a few in order
to give their owners notice that they
must observe the law said Mr.. John
stOn, yesterday.
"A practice has come to my notice
lately which I shall make efforts to do
away with. l have been informed of
several cases where owners of auto
mobiles refuse to take out licenses and
in order to use their machines upon
the streets borrow the numbers from
their neighbOrs' machines or place I'M
authorized numbers on their machines.
THE numbers hereafter will have to
be attached to the back of the ma
chimes and will not be allowed to hang
suspended from the axle or box. When
the numbers hang they cannot be seen

TROUT SEASON WILL
OPEN TOMORROW
Over 100000 Trout Fry Distributed
Among the Streams of Minnesota.

Enthusiastic fishermen are preparing
for the opening of the trout season
Friday, when many~WiH~ take rod and
reel into the northern part of the state
to enjoy the sport of catching the
gamy speckled fish.
The~trOut season remains open till
Sept. 1, and by that time most of the
young trout supplied by the state game
and fish commission will have been
caught.
Each year the game and fish COM
mission distributes over 100000 trout
fry among the streams frequented by
that fish. The annual distribution for
this year has already commenced and
will continue for over a month AS
three years are required to develop the
fry the commission has been unable to
make any progress SO far against the
inrOads of the trout fishers.
Only brook trout are now propagat-
ed by the fish commission, the exper-
iment of raising salmon trout and
steel headed trout having proved I'M
successful.

gance and denouncing as a vile Islander
the 1nS1nuatiOn that there have been
corrupt practices.
IF any one of the Democrats present
should by any chance attend Repub-
l1can meeting I would have them asked
wherein they would reduce the ex-
penSeS. VIII they cut the salaries of
the school teachers, or otherwise Grip
pie the schools? Will they attempt to
compel the hard working policeman to
serve for less than $40 a month, or
otherwise cripple the present excellent
police department? Will they seek to
stop the development of the wonderful
and beautiful system of parks? Will
they admit that they propose to cut
down the cost of maintaining our eX-
cellent4 city hospital? Will they stop
the development of the great and
growing water department? Will they
reduce the money that is being spent
for and through our popular health
department? Will they seek to abolish
the public baths, than which no in
StitutiOn, has proven such wonderful
advertisement for st. Paul? Make
them tell you where they expect to
save money Their answer must be
that the departments must remain as
they are. The result is that the ex-
pense of the government must remain
as it is. Their talk is so much idle by
play"

WANT PORTIONS OF

Important Applications to Be Present

The committee on streets Of the
board of aldermen will today consider
three important vacation applications.
The heirs of John Wagner, deceas-
ed, want Commercial street, West side.
vacated between blocks H and D, Rob-
ertson's addition. The petitioners as
sert that the construction of the Wa
basha street bridge piers and erect
ing of factories along what was the

use the portion of the street that it is
proposed to vacate.
Jacob Firestone applies for the vaca-
ton of the alley that ends at the st.
Paul & Duluth tracks and being be-
tween Duluth and Newcomb avenues.
Firestone owns the property on both
sides of the alley.
The church of ST Michael desires
the vacation of that. portion of Parnell

nell intersects with Starkey street. If
the request is granted Starkey street
will be the same width at this point
as at other places.

BODY OF MISSING
WOMAN is FOUND
LabOrer Discovers Remains
of Mrs. Matilda FiOIms
i'm River.

So badly decomposed as to defy rec
ognitiOn, the body of woman, which
was later identified as that OF Mrs.
Matilda HoIms, Of Minneapolis. was
found floating in the river yesterday
morning near the St. Paul Boom by
John Christian, a laborer residing at
720 Canton street, Minneapolis.
The body was removed to the county
morgue, where 1t was identified in the
afternoon by A. 0. Holms, of Mime
apolis, as that Of his wife, who disap-
peared from her home, 2719 Sixteenth
avenue south, on Oct. last. The only
mark by which the identity Of the body
might be established was the woman's
name printed on the inside of her shoe,
her clothing being SO stained that it
could not be recognized. The name
had been printed on the shoe while
Mrs. HoIms had been an inmate Of the
insane hospital at st. Peter, and had
almost been erased by the action OF
the water.
The manner of Mrs. HOlms' death is
a mystery, but it is supposed by the
police that she wandered from her
home in a moment of insanity and that
she either voluntarily or accidentally
met her death in the river.
Mrs. Holms had returned to her home
from the St. Peter hospital the day
preceding her disappearance. Her be-
haviOr while at the hospital indicated
that she had overcome a mental aff1ic-
ton with which she was suffering, and
she was allowed to leave. But she suf-
fered a relapse when she reached Min
neapolis, and within twentyfour hours
after being restored to her husband
disappeared. The woman was search
ed for in vain, but no trace of her could
be found. The police were notified, but
learned nothing of her whereabouts
until yesterday, when the body was
found in the river. They notified Mr..
Holms and he identified the body.
Coroner Miller, after an investiga-
ton, gave Mr.. HOlms permission to re-
move the remains to Minneapolis for
interment. 1t will be removed from
the morgue this morning. Mrs. HolmS
was thirty years old, and had been
married but a short time. She leaves
no children.
