NOTHING LEFT TO LIVE FOR.

With Broken Fiddle Went All Joy Of
Musicians Life.
Nat Wills, who has put aside the
B%roadhurst ambitions that he become
a high priced star and taken "The
Duke of Duluth" back to the popular
circuit that likes him. tells a story
of a German 'cellist with whom he
once came in sudden contact.
"The bass violin player" relates
Nathaniel, was stopping at the same
hotel, and we were both in the office
when a small boy thrust his head in
the door and shouted. The opery-
house is on fire!
Mine Gott,' shrieked the music
ian, a short. fat. and excitable Ger
man, mine fddle!' and he rushed
madty for the theater. Reaching
there he hurried through the stage
DOR and into the orchestra pit. The
theater was a mass of flames in the
rigging loft, but the beloved fiddle
was still safe. Its owner seized it and
started to make his escape the way
he came. Too late! the stage itself
was now a roaring furnace! The Ger
man staggered to a window thai open
ed on the street and raised it. | was
standing with the crowd.
"'Quick, Matt he gasped; take de
fiddle!' and he thrust the neck through
the window. The body of the violin
was too large n it stuck fast. A
dozen willing hands seized it, there
was a sound of splintering wood, a
wall from the German. Mine Colt!
don't break it, and we all fell back
wards with only the neck in our
grasp! We were forced to reach in
and drag that crazy German away
from the remainder of his beloved in
strument, and with the broken neck
clasped in his arms and the tears
rolling down his blistered cheeks he
turned to me and demanded:
lis dot de way to save a mans
fiddler"
Fiddle be hanged! You're lucky
to escape with your life!'
Yah. but volts de use?'"

An offer Of $4,000 for the Mime
apolis club corner at Sixth street and,
First avenue 8 by a leading business
man was accepted on the street yester-
day as confirmation of the often re-
peated statement by real estate men
that values Of downtown property are
constantly increasing.
Only four months ago a conservative
real; estate man said that he thought
the property could be bought at $50, 900
as the club was asking only 100000.
Later, it is said, the club held the prop
erty, which it is about to abandon as a
club home, at $4,000.
The adjoining lot on Sixth street be-
longs to J. B. Hudson. 1t has been op-
toned for a. short time at 81 900 a front
foot, altho it is considered worth $1,000
by some experts, with capacity for
$500 a front foot in case the corner
is sold and improved. The advance ID
price of the Hudson property has been
at from 5000 to $500 foot since last
fall ss<.ss.

ONTRACTORS have begun

~ CONTRACTORS have begun to
speculate as to what effect the
reconstruction of San Francisco
will have on Minneapolis building this
season. The wrecked city seems a long
way off, but SO interdependent are the
relations Of the large cities Of the
country that the wholesale demand for
materials and labor, which is likely to
be made in the California metropolis,
may have a depressing effect on local
construction.
Should San Francisco decide to build
low buildings of mill construction, the
demand for lumber there may cripple
the local market. Should it be decided
by the San Franciscans to build steel
construction sky scrapers, the call for
steel work may result in the diversion
of steel to the west. If the city has
the nerve to carry. out it's plan to re-
build San Francisco on much more
elaborate scale than the one on which
the old city was based, great de-
mand for labor will be created, which
may draw on the east
