doubtless had no idea. when he handed down a
decision that the allpowerful brooklyn Rapid
Transit company could not lawfully collect ten.
cent fares to Coney Island. that the result would
be a popular uprising against the illegal attenpt

alday riot would occur in which 10000 people
would participate and two or three people be
killed and a dozen injured II he had known this

A Reliable Library Board Story.

The following communication is
sufficiently self-explanatory to de-
mand no comment, further than the
statement that it deals with but one
OF numerous glaring errors on the
part of certain newspaper "writers. J"
To the Editor-Dear Sir:
In the Eveleth Star of last Friday,
and later in the range bureau of the
News Tribune (under a Virginia
date line) statement appeared to
the effect that the contract for books
and furniture for the Virginia Pub
lie Library had been awarded to A.
Reid & co. of Virginia and the Pan
ton q White Co. of Duluth. This is
not correct. A small amount of
furniture was recently purchased
from the Panton & White Co., but
not single book has as yet been
ordered from any person or firm.
Mr.. Butler, of the contract depart
ment of the Panton & White Co.,
submitted very full list of books.
SO did others, and the Board has
been considering the same for sew
eral weeks. Nothing definite has
been done. and nothing definite
could be done until the Board knew
exactly what it's financial position
would be for the coming year. Ow-
ing to the liberal provision made
by the city council for the support
of the library during the year 1907,
the Board is now ready to act in the
matter of purchasing books and. in
order that the mistakes due to in .
experience might be avoided, the
book purchasing committee, con-
sisting of the undersigned and Mr..
+. J. ORourke, requested Miss Poir-
ier, librarian of the Duluth Public
Library, to visit Virginia Saturday
next and assist in making final Sc
lections to complete the first order
for books:
No definite date has been fixed for
opening the library but it is hoped
that it may be ready. at least as a
public reading room for newspapers
and periodicals, not later than No.
vember 18th.
Very truly yours,
NJ. T. SAVAGE, Pres.
ID. W. FREEMAN, Sec'y.

MAYOR NETOES SEWER RESOLUTION.
No Improvement Will Be Permitted in
District No. BE.

At the council meeting Tuesday
evening the man who controls the
destinies of Virginia-who permits
no interference from any source ex-
cept from the saloon, the slot ma
chine and the poor mans cow-sub-
mitted his veto of the resolution
passed by unanimous vote at the
previous meeting ordering the city
engineer to prepare plans and spec
ifications for a sanitary sewer in
District No. 3 f, between Poplar and
Cedar streets. This action was not
| unexpected, for water seldom runs
uphill without some pressure. and
there are neither slot machines or
other revenue producers owned or
operated in the section of the city
| embraced in this district.
While the council had by unani-
nous vote ordered a start on this
work no motion was made to pass
the resolution over the veto, al
though all members of the council
were present, and the mayors man.
date assumed a position of unques-
toned supremacy.
Petitions were granted Stein &
O'Rourke and to the Virginia Brew
ing Company to lay cement walks
in front OF their respective proper
ties.
/ The city engineer was instructed
to prepare and present profiles at
the next meeting of the council of
all streets where he has established
grades.
The alleged damage to certain
property in section "a, 58-17, was
brought up through a legal COM
rnunication, and the board of health
was instructed to make an investi-
cation of the claim for damages re-
sulting from the emptying of the
main sewer into the waters of the
lake in that section and make re-
port to the next meeting.

of the enjoyment of the play is due
to the vein of fine comedy that per-

last but not least to the magnificent
scenery and mechanical effects and
novelties. To miss seeing sOld Ar
