MAGNIFICENT HOTEL
WILL COST $500, 600
George A. Pillsbury Homestead al Tenth
Street and Third Avenue Bought
for New Enterprise.

Magnificent appointments will be the
feature of a 100000 apartment hotel
building which is to be erected by the
Curtis Hotel company on the George
A.. Pillsbury estate at Tenth street and
Third avenue s. Frank j. Mackey Of
London, Eng, will finance the deal and
Theodore f. Curtis will attend to the
details of plans, construction and man
agement. Construction will probably
specifications will not be ready before
that time. The actual building will
take only seven months. The structure
will be freproof and will accommodate.
when completed, about six hundred
people. t
s.ssl One of Many Deals.
This announcement forecasts only one
OF the deals which will be the outcome
Of union Of the Mackey and Curtis
forces. I: F. Curtis has always been
in the lead in new ideas in building in
Minneapolis, and makes it point to
improve properties which he buys.
Frank J. Mackey comes back to Min
neapolis after an absence Of something
like fifteen years, and displays his faith
by cooperating with Mr.. Curtis in in
ing the direction of the Investments in
the hands of Mr.. Curtis.
The purpose in the erection Of the
new apartment building is to provide
Minneapolis people with place to live
in comfortable circumstances and at
popular prices. The tone Of the estab-
lishment will be high, with congenial
atmosphere for the occupants Of the
small city within its brick walls.
A Tenth street site has been chosen
because it promises to be a popular
avenue for this class Of building. It
is near the business center, yet remote
from its disadvantages. While it is
the purpose to provide first for perma-
nent residents, the growth Of the city
may. make it feasible to turn the build
ing into transient hotel It is prophe-
sled that the site eventually will be
within the hotel district.
Details Of Building.

stories high, with an eleven-story CEN

naissance style as can be made. Of the

frances on Tenth and Eleventh streets.

it is the plan to have the cafe there
also.
The site, which Messrs. Curtis and
Mackey bought from the S. T. Nc
Knight company recently, is half
block, having $50 feet frontage on
both streets and $50 feet on Third
avenue. The building will have three
ellis running from Third avenue back
to the main structure, and between
them two 75-foot wide grass courts.

Robbed of All Effect.

One of the good results of the advent
of Armour & Co. in the twin cities is
free. switching order by the Minnesota
Transfer Railway company. The ad-
vantage accrues to st. Paul and Min
neapolis industries that are situated on
the line. It is said that the managers
acted on the theory that industries on
the line of the Transfer were practi-
cally on the lines of the. component
roads, and were, therefore, entitled to
free switching.
It is said, however, that the aboli-
ton of switching charges on Sept. Is
was the direct result of the decision of
Armour & Co. to locate on the belt line
in the New Brighton district. Under
the law, the agreement to furnish Ar
mour free switching made it impera-

HOPE Is IN THE BALLOT
Rev. Anna Shaw Delivers Address to
w. @. T. u. Convention.

The speaker Of last evening was
Rev. Anna Shaw of Philadelphia, who
came west especially to address the
w. G. T. U. Miss Shaw said that the
desire to accumulate material things,
which rules the world now, is respon-
sible for many Of the evils which are
told in the press every day. Accumu-
lation is the thirst Of the age, and
there are few who appreciate that life
should be devoted to moral and intel
Iectual growth rather than to the in
crease Of property.
Miss Shaw made a strong appeal for
woman s suffrage and pointed out the
helplessness of women under the pres
emit condition. s"Women must educate
their husbands to cast their ballots for
the cause of temperance. Total absti-
pence is the. only solution Of the liquor
problem,' she declared. emo one who
refrains from the use Of liquor ever
becomes drunkard, and no mortal
dares say that. his will power is Of
sufficient strength to prevent him from
becoming addicted to drink <

CLOSE CONTESTS
ARE ALL SETTLED.
coMsTOCK ELWEIL RACE THE
BEST OF ALL.
Only Nine Votes Difference In the To-
tails Cast for Senator in the Thirty
ninth District mith-Wallace and
Van Nest-Gray Rivalries Made Fine
Guessing for a While.

SINCE the announcement of returns
published in T e Journal Of yes
terday, few changes have been brought
to light. One close contest, the alder
manic fight in the tenth ward, is set
tied in favor of J. W. Wilson. No
change is likely in any Of the results
now, and the majorities or pluralities
of the candidates, as the case may be.
show no change from yesterday.
The closest race on the ticket, and
one that may result in recount, is the
senatorial contest in the thirty ninth
district, comprising the second and
ninth wards and the town Of st. An.
thony. E. F. Comstock, the present SEN
ator, wins out over J. r. Elwell by nine
votes. If the canvassing board finds no
errors in the preliminary report, the
contest will probably be closed. If any
changes are found, a recount may be
asked by one Of the. two leading can
didates. Elwell carries the second, his
home ward, by 425 woes, and Comstock
carries his ward, the ninth, by 43O.
Comstock adds to his lead of five in the
city by plurality Of four votes from
