EAST SPECULATES ON
DEMISE OF THE GLOBE

Il = Z : 7 E
Eastern papers are evincing a lively
interest in the prospective case of hari-
kari by the st. Paul Globe. The New
York Herald publishes an article COM
menting on the significance of the
Northern Securities settlement and the
fact that s Minnesota has democratic
governor SO that the Globe has ac-
complished it's purpose. The Herald
ssays further:
TT is also alleged that the city of
st. Paul is so limited in its public
spirit that it is little more than sub
urb of Minneapolis. It was proposed at
a meeting Of the Commercial club to-
day that the name Of the town be
rapid transit company. be installed to
make it easy for the people of st. Paul
to transact business in Minneapolis.
AS the Pioneer Press is also owned
by Mr.. Hill, it was determined to sus-
pend the Globe and concentrate upon

doing duty on the Isthmus of Panama
and stopped in, at q little fruit shop.
The coin is only worth about q fifth
of cent, but what we bought did
not come to that, and the old woman
in charge of the shop took out knife
and cut the coin in two. It struck us
as so absurd that we gave her another

them on our watch chains.
About year after that we were
cruising in the Canary islands, and
some Of the Spanish dons at Las Pal
mas invited the officers to grand
ball. When we landed we saw a curl
GUS procession making it's way out of
the town. What struck us as. particu,,
larly peculiar was that the captain Of
the company walked in rear of his
soldiers. AS soon as we met some Of
the natives they. explained that he was
the head executioner and that the lob
was a hereditary one. Attic he is in
command of company he has to walk
in the rear, and whenever he goes into
q, cafe to eat, the proprietor smashes
the plates as soon as he has finished.
We followed the procession to witness
the peculiar execution. Finally we
came to a deserted place and found
that the method Of execution was to

chum got in the chair. We frightened

we had better leave him there a little
longer and we strolled away to the
grand ball. It was SO interesting that
we forgot the poor fellow for a couple

We did not worry any, supposine
that he had gone back to the ship

IA PANIC AVERTED

Westminster Easter Services Interrupted
by vagrant Smoke.
Smoke blowing into the auditorium Of
Westminster church at the Easter morn
ing service, followed by the fainting Of a
boy in the gallery, created much uneasi-
ness. One excitable young lady ran out
side, declaring that the building was on
fire. Ushers detected the cause of the
trouble at once and had the fan stopped,
which was drawing smoke from the

knowing that the ushers would notify
him of any fire, proceeded with his SER

trouble. The Mesaba & Southern and the

in which of the two counties shall the tax
be paid? st. Louis county presented its
claim this morning thru w. g. Crosby, as
sstant county attorney. Carlton county
was represented by j. p. Green, county
attorney. H. Oldenburg was present as

500 INTERESTED
IN MOTOR CARS
THEY MAY HELP SOLVE LOCAL
TRAFFIC PROBLEM.
The Cars Garry Their Own Motive
Power and Are Already in Success
full Operation on Eastern Roads
General Manager Pennington Thinks
500 May Find Them Of Great Value.

Gasoline motors may come into gen.
eral use for short-distance hauls on
some of the railroad lines running into
Minneapolis. They can undoubtedly
be run more cheaply than steam en-
gines for suburban and stub-line use.
General Manager Edmund Pennington
of the 500 line has been investigating
motors on parts of the system. 1t is
not impossible that they may be put
into lake train service by the st. Louis
road, altho at present the company s
traffic is considered too heavy to re-
place steam motive power with gaso-
lene or compressed air.
The gasolene motors are used by the
Union Pacific road experimentally, and
the Alton management has Just ordered
some motors for suburban use. The
motors are generally of l00-horsepower,
with capacity of seventy-fve to
eighty passengers in the motor car. A
trailer with capacity of from sixty to
seventy-two passengers can be carried
also.
500 line, Mr.. Pennington said this
morning:
81 have had the idea for a long time
but never had worked it out. l see
other managers have done so for short
runs from the cities, and I should say
their use was a good thing, as they
would cost less than trains and prob
ably the motors could be operated more
cheaply than the steam trains.
"The 500 has several places where
the motors might be used, where mixed
trains are now run. Passenger service
could be- given daily and the freight
trains might be run every other day.
Motors could be used on the 500 line
for picking up milk and for carrying
! passengers. - i4

Promise

EiaHTEEN YEARS AGO this
- month the New England first
solicited the patronage Of the House
keepers of Minneapolis. It did not
have much capital; it certainly did
not have an attractive store building
the old Casino" Skating Rink; it
had no acquaintance in the city; no
prestige; no local record: not much
age; but it had faith in itself and in
Minneapolis. 1t promised "to tote
fair; to always>give "a square DEAF;
it promised a One-price System, No
Misrepresentation; that every GUS
toner purchasing goods under the
same conditions should be treated ex-
actly alike. 1t promised courteous,
painstaking and dependable service;
the utmost accommodation of every
kind; and as the years have gone by,
it's promises have grown with It's abil-
ity to fulfill. Has it made good?'

THE SMITHSONIAN FINANCES
Apprehensive as to Inability to Recover
on Karr's Bond

At meeting of the executive committee
Thursday, attended by ex-Speaker John b.
Henderson and Alexander Graham Bell
the third member, Representative r. R.
HIT, being out or the city-an effort was
MADE 10 determine the exact loss sustained
by the defalcation of William w. Kari the
accountant and disbursing officer of the in
stitution. 1t was finally determined that. In
any event, the loss would not be less than
$4,000 and probably might be even more
as the funds to which Kari helped himself
came from so many different sources that a
determination of the ct amount of his
stealngs may be rather difficult
A matter that gave the committee some
concern was the fact that it is not prob
able that the institution will be able to
recover the stolen money on Karr's bond
with the United States Fidelity and Guar
antee Company of Baltimore Karr was
bonded In this company for $4,000 but
the bond extended only to the protection
or the government and guaranteed the
honest handling of the various appropria-
tions for institutions SUBSIDIARY to the
Smithsonian. AS karr embezZled funds
received for the shipment abroad of publi-
cations, II is doubted whether the amount
can be recovered.
When the treasury experts have finished
their examination of Karr's books the re-
gents of the institution will endeavor to
devise some system that will make embez-
Element from the FUNDS of the institution
impossible in the future.
Secretary Langley has deposited In the
Riggs National Bank a Central Pacific
bond and secured a loan Of $4,000 TO
bridge over the embarrassment and pro-
vide funds for the institution until the
appropriation becomes available July 1
This bond Is one making a total Of SO 600
recently bequeathed to the Smithsonian
1t is understood that plans have been
made for a full meeting of the board of
regents. So far as can be learned no date
has been set.

Congress of Cotton Men.

According to United States Consul Gem
eral Guenther. at Frankfort, the annual
report OF the Dusseldorf chamber of COM
merce for 1904 speaks Of the proceedings
OF the international congress of cotton
goods manufacturers. held last May in
Zurich to which the United States was
not invited. as the object OF the meeting
was to devise ways to become independent
of the United States cotton supply. AL
together, says the chamber, the world Is
getting to be more and more dependent
upon American raw materials, and at the
same time has to meet the growing com.
petition of American manufactured prod
ucts. hence the natural desire to become
Independent of the American raw-materiaI
markets The Southern Cotton Corpora
ton, says the report, has invited the Eu-
ropean manufacturers of cotton goods to
hold another congress in the United States,
but 1t is self-eyident that the Americans
would use the congress to impede the ini-
tiated movement for the cultivation OF cot
ton outside Of the United States.
