COED. BETRAYED SECRET
SHE BEGUILED A SENIOR INTO
GIVING HER A COPY OF 1.-THE
PLEDGLING."

A woman's wiles succeeded where
mems strength and ingenuity failed
and 1t was by the smiles of fair coed
that the carefully guarded secrets OF
the senior class play were won and
made known to the public. The iden-
tlty OF the university Delilah is known
to the manager of the class play but
as she is not senior, nothing more than
ostracism from senior functions can be
meted out to her.
Feeling has been running high among
the wearers of caps and gowns over the
violation of their secrets. Self-appoint-
ed detectives have been working on the
case and last night they secured a con-
fession from prominent member Of
the class, who claims that he was vic
tlmlzed into giving up copy Of the
class play by the light of a lady's eyes.
A knowledge of the plot of ''The
Pledgling" has served to increase
rather than to lessen the interest of
university folk in the production that
is to be put on by the class of, '05 at
the Metropolitan theater next Saturday
afternoon and evening.
The incident upon which the play is
founded is one that attracted wide
spread gossip two seasons ago. 1t is
the appearance here with "The Stroll
lers' of fair chorus girl who pre-
tended to be Michigan pledgling Of
the Delta Gamma sorority She was
wined and dined and feted by the
Delta Gammas and by members of the
Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. The story
of the class play follows with accuracy
the functions given in honor of the
pledgling, Vivian Vaughn. There is
also love story worked out involving
the affection and jealousy of one of
the sorority girls because of the at
tentions paid by her fanee to the
| sprightly member of the ballet.
| The play will be followed by an
elaborate musical spectacle entitled
I"The Masque of the Old Manu. and
this. finale promises to be one of the
most beautiful ever attempted by
amateurs in this city.

CISARSKY WANTS DAMAGES
He Sues for $4,000, Alleging False and
W. Malicious Arrest.

Joseph Cisarsky, who has been in
volved in bankruptcy proceedings be-
fore Referee Q: 6. Merriman, has be-
gun a suit for $4,000 damages against
Armour & Co., William H. Chilly, local
manager for that firm, and William
Furst, attorney. The plaintiff was .os-
tensibly arrested at. st. Paul Sunday
and brought to Minneapolis by Furst,
who found Cisarsky in possession of
a railway ticket to Mason City, Iowa.
His complaint, drawn by R; R. Odell, re,
cites that, after his arrest, he was taken
before Judge Lochren, who knew moth:
ing Of the case, and said he had signed
no papers in connection with it. Another
Judge was found inaccessible, and the
plaintiff was then released with a
warning to appear in the federal court
on May %. 4 The. plaintiff alleges that
his arrest was false and malicious and
that Furst has not returned his rail
way. ticket, for which reasons he makes
the attorney party defendant.
: Chilly is brought into the case on
the ground that he is an agent of Ar
'mour & Co. and that he threatened
the plaintiff that the company would
spend thousands Of dollars to land
him. - ,.s~-. -
Mr.. Furst states that Cisarsky, when
found in St: Paul, returned to Mime
apolis with him willingly, to which Mr..
Odell retorts that the attorney is seek
ing to make it appear that the man
was anxious to break into Jail.

Z. The Private Car and. JRebates.-"Ca lcu-
lations as to the effect of car mileage on
beef prices to the consumer are all bosh.'
says Charles E. Russell in his detailed
consideration of Garfield's report on the
beef trust; in Everybody's June in
stallment Of ''The Greatest Trust in
the World. - Whether the profit on
car mileage is d cents hundred
pounds or mills million pounds is
not worth moments thought The real
point. over which this report skates with
airy ease, is that the privately owned car
in the dressed beef Trade is merely a dis
guise for illegal railroad rebates, that it
was designed for that purpose and
none other, that it is and was
merely way toHs cover law break
ing, and that the breaking of the
law at which it connived enabled the trust
to be formed, competitors to be crushed,
and the people to be robbed. The private
refrigerator car meant SIS rebate on every
carload of beef shipped from Chicago to
New York The houses in the combine

did not get it, and that ended the com

CITY NEWS
M. DIS NAME CANDIDATES
HENNEPIN COUNTY MEDICAL, AS
ISOLATION SELECTS POSSIBLE
TIES FOR CITY PHYSICIAN.

Drs. E. H. Beckman, G. d. Harring-
ton, w. D. Sheldon and A. E. Wilcox
were selected last evening. by the Hen
nepin County Medical society for pres
entation to the board of charities and
corrections as competent men for city
physician. The four named are all allo-
paths or regulars. !" The Minneapolis
Homeopathic association will also Sc
lect three of. its number for the consid-
Grafton of the board.
There was less difficulty in selecting
the nominees for city physician than
was expected, but the society had its
little tilt nevertheless. An effort was
made to reconsider the action of the
society recommending that the state
medical society expel members who, as
physicians for fraternal organizations,
also treat the families of the members
at less than the minimum rates. 1t is
alleged that the lodge physicians have
done much harm. 1t is the practice
with many of them to treat cases in
the families of members at one-half the
minimum price and this unfair compe-
tition .the other physicians encounter
daily. The motion to reconsider was
tabled by an overwhelming vote.

The Secret of the Ant.

eco to the ant, thou sluggard; con-
slider her ways and be wise,' was re-
marked by one OF the prophets of the
old testament. He knew the ways of
the ant and how they differed from
the ways of men, but he did not tell
lis the secret of the remarkable activ-
ity, strength and tenacity of the ant.
1t remained for a. French professor to
tell the story. It is formic acid which
makes the ant so strong. And by TAX
ing formic acid man may become as
strong as an ant.
Professor Hubbard has taken some
and noted the effect upon himself. With
the first dose he did not show up par
ticularly we'll, and with the second
there was sinking Of his vitality. But
with the third dose he felt strong
enough to tackle the furnace, and with
the fourth he was able to remark to
his wife that he thought he would like
to beat the carpet if she had no OBJ
iections. Succeeding doses of formic
acid convinced him that he was run
ming the place. The result is that the
screens have been put ION, the lawn
| moved, the ashes removed and things
done about the Hubbard place in a
way that made the neighbors' eyes bug
out Professor Hubbard was curious
to learn whether, with the cessation of
the dose, his strength would disappear,
and he was happy to learn that, while
there was a certain diminution of force,
he never relapsed to the point where
he could not hand out advice to the
government nor throw a book agent off
the front stoop.
During the period of abstention he
very nearly admitted that one of his
neighbors had better automobile than
his own, but quickly threw off such
weakness.
Professor Hubbard has not kept the
discovery to himself, but has admins
tered formic acid to patients laboring
under different brands of laziness with
gratifying results in every case. II

THE UNEASY CHAIR

INTO THE HEART OF LABRADOR
AND OUT AGAlN.-The lure of the UNI
known is strong in the hearts Of men,
whether it be the unknown of some terra
tncognita or the mysteries of life bound
up in test-tube, of sea, slime. 1t was
the terra incognita' fScentral Labrador
whose lure sLeonidass Hubbard could not
resist and.twhich demanded his life in re-
turn for its secrets. Hubbard wanted to
know what lay back Of the inhospitable
coast Of Labrador that he might satisfy
the thirst for knowledge among his fell
lowmen. There; was only one wayEto find
out, and that was to penetrate the land
himself. And that way he took, accom-
panied by Dillon Wallace, a New York
lawyer, and George Ellison, a halfbreed
Cree Indian, but a man every inch.

The Cry of Bondage.

The Browns Valley Tribune is hav7
ing trouble with it's little insides. These
insides are what are known as patent
insides.' In the current issue of that
excellent weekly, Editor Gordon makes
a formal apology for an article, to
which he gave circulation a week be-
fore 1t was headed Investigation
of the Packers,' and was devoted to
showing that the meat trust was of
great benefit to the farmers of the
country; that the farmers and not the
packers received the chief benefit from
the system.
Now, Mr. Gordon has been "hand-
ing it - to that same meat trust in sea-
son and out of season, condemning it
for combining to reduce the price Of
cattle on the hoof and to hoist the
price of dressed meats. Hence it grieves
him to have put forth such a ,specious
plea against himself, and he explains,
with due humility, his bondage to. a
soulless corporation in st. Paul which
prints one side of his paper. This
concern, which is an adjunct to a daily.
world each week and sandwiches it
with sundry advertisements, printing
the whole and sending it out to hun
dreds of weeklies. The editors Of these
same weeklies,- no matter how indie
pendent they may be. as to their own
opinions, have nothing to say as to the
contents of one-half their paper. They
may exercise the great American right
to kick, but small satisfaction they
will get from going thru the motions.
In the case of the 'meat- thrust article,
Mr.. Gordon: is satisfied that the people
who print his "insides,' who are con
the lookout for every dollar got a
good round advertising rate for the
article. It is decidedly distasteful to
him, but he thinks he cannot get a
better news service for the money. and
SO must continue to circulate adver
tisements which he does not approve.

Judge Hooker's Case.

The last New York legislature start
ed movement for the expulsion from
the bench of Judge Warren B. Hooker
Of the supreme court. The judiciary
committee, of the assembly reported in
favor of his removal, and it is quite
probable, if he does not resign, that
the Legislature, will be called in extra
session to impeach him.
The remarkable thing about the
charges against Judge Hooker is that
four out of five refer to abuses of the
civil service laws Of the United States.
Judge Hooker is accused of obtaining
the appointment to Office Of persons
whose services he knew were not neces-
sary, and the language Of the commit
tee is that the United States was there
by "defrauded of the amount of
wages paid them.
The novelty of this case is that the
politicians of state should undertake
the protection of the civil service laws
Of the national government. The event
marks departure in state. politics.
Civil service has come to stay and the
principle on which it is based has come

When the grafters decided that the

Niagara grab bill, twenty-sx votes were
necessary to perform the deed. 1t would
of course be useless for more than twenty
six members to besmirch themselves, and
so only the exact nunbsr needed were
called upon to vote aye. Apparently by
a miscalculation, one too many members
opposed the bill, and so Senator Drescher
had to submit to the embarrassment of
voting for the grab after having opposed
it vigorously in debate. Senator Drescher

A Sign Of Prosperity.

: AS favorable an indication of the
stability of commercial affairs as has
appeared for long time is found in
the reports from banking centers, espe-
cially those of the east, to the effect
that the demand for money is lighter
than bankers would like to see it, and
the banking profits on the whole less
than expected There is a notable
&scarcitv of commercial paper. Such of
it as is seen in the market, bearing
good names, is in demand by banks and
bankers, but on the whole there is less
urgency than usual in any borrowing de-
mand.
When the banks are not loaning
money as freely as they wish, the indl-
cation runs to one extreme or the other.
Either the country is in the dumps and
new enterprise light, with stagnatlon
in old lines, or else the country is in
such good shape that the return of
money from the outer circle to the inner

course to the banks is not SO necessary
