The Northern Pacific bridge at
Twentieth avenue north and Second
street narrowly escaped destruction last
Sunday in a fire which was discovered
by one of the residents of the vicinity
about noon. When seen the fire had made
considerable Roadway. but the prompt
arrival of the fire department put a
stop to the ravages of the flames be-
fore they had damaged the bridge to
an appreciable extent. The origin Of
the fire is unknown, but it is supposed
10 have been started by a live coal
dropped from passing engine. The
Twentieth avenue viaduct is the sec
ond Northern Pacific bridge to take
fire within "a hours. the other one
being the Fifteenth avenue southeast
viaduct.
Judge Hollis decision in the Henne-
pin avenue case leaves the park board
in a very unsatisfactory situation and,
TO clear up all doubts, the case will he
taken to the supreme court. The at
torncys interested are already COIL
fering as to the method of procedure
1, is expected that the park board
will continue to sprinkle Hennepin av-
enue, for, although the district court
says that it has no authority to compel
such improvement, it is held that the
park board cannot relinquish its con-
troll. Theoretically, at least, it is held
that the park board is responsible for
the maintenance of that street. Just
| wha. the park board will do, however,
| is not known. The commissioners are
i very eager to get rid of Hennepin and
! Lyndale avenues. as the law will not
| permit the board to maintain them en-
clusively as parkways. and the boards
finances are insufficient to maintain
them as traffic streets.

BATTLE OF BALLOTS
Next Tuesday Will Be Election
Day in St. Paul.
Men Named on Democratic
Ticket Deserve Success.

Next Tuesday the voters OF the city
OF st. Paul will be called upon TO
choose Il complete list of city officials
for the next two years. For Il num-
Der of years past st. Paul has elected
Il Democrats city administration
headed by Robert A. Smith as mayor.
He has served the people we'll and
faithfully many years and will no
doubt be returned to power by Il large
majority. His associates on the Dem
ocratic ballot as Il result of the" prl!
mary election are, generally speaking,
men of excellent reputation and pos
sess in Il marked degree those elements
of strength that appeal to the average
voter.
On the ticket With Mayor Smith are
Otto Bremen for treasurer, Louis Betz.
for conptroller; Michael Doran, Jr..
and Hugo Hanft, for municipal Judges;
all excellent candidates and deserving
of support at the polls. The assembly
ticket. too. has been carefully selected
and contains the names of Henry q.
Haas. r. d. O'Brien, Frank Yocrg.
James j. Regain. DR.. L: II. Whitcomb.
Patrick Conley, Chas. kartak, Vim
these men are members of the present
assembly and as such their records are
we'll known They have been excellent
public officials for the past two years
and should be reelected on their mer-
its. The candidates for aldermen are
john Nyberg, in the First ward; w. l..
! Third; Frank j. Huber. Fourth: otto
Rohland, Fifth; ]. d. Hyland, Sixth:
w. j. Preston. Seventh: Charles II.
Gerber, Eighth; William j. Troy,
Ninth; l.. ]. Dobner Tenth. Many of
these are members of the present coun-
Gil and popular with the people. OF
the candidates who are making their
first campaign Charles II. Gerber, in
the Eighth, and William j. Troy, in the
| Ninth. possess splendid qualifications
for membership in the board of all
dcrncn. We can see no good reason
why they should not poll the votes
i Of every Democrat in their respective
wards next Tuesday. The candidates
for justice of the peace are Luke Nc
Herman and II. c.. Peterson, and for
constablcs, Ed. c. Poucher and p. @.
O'Regan. All Of these are we'll qualified
for the offices for which they have been
named. 1t will be seen, therefore. that
from beginning to end the Demo-
cratic city ticket is largely representa-
tive Of the best element of the party
i'll ST. Paul. and for this reason The
Irish Standard hopes to see that ticket
elected on Tuesday next. ANA there Is
every indication that such will be the
result and by II majority the largest

continued Mrs. Burns, lis Mills hotels
for working women.
There are 255,732 wage earning
women in New York. These figures
do not include the women in various
professions. OF these wage earners
22,708 are saleswomen. Their earnings
average So a week. A woman can bare
ly live on that and keep herself respect
able. The women and girl boxmakers
number 1904. This is the poorest paid
trade in the city. Three dollars week
IS the average wage paid. No woman
can support herself on such n sum IN
less she lives in her parents home and
pays no board.
New York must give these girls and
women respectable, comfortable living
places within their means. 1t remains
to make some strong organized effort
to start this thing. 1t will be no trou-
BILE to establish these cheap. comfort

Clocks are now being made which in.
stead of striking them, speak the
hours through an ingenious application
of the talking machine. The inven-
tor has made clocks with speaking
discs of various kinds to serve as
alarms. You can be awakened by the
vigorous Growing OF cock or the
sound OF a well-known voice. They
are arranged to call out in various de-
gree of meditation, some loud enough
to rouse the soundest sleeper. AS
alarm clocks, they should in time su-
persede all others, for the discs can be
changed as often as the fancy dictates,
so that the sleeper will not become so
familiar with the call as to continue
his slumber. as often happens in the
use OF the ordinary clocks with bells.

The history OF the rain drops and
the snow flakes from the time of their
formation till 1t merges with the
ocean, to be again evaporated and re
peat the process, is ofttimes a long and
devious one. Some of the rain OF
course falls back into the ocean; but
much finds temporary abiding place
on the tops of high inland mountains,
and enjoys a year or more of travel
and usefulness before 1t finally reaches
its old mother ocean.
The Government is devoting con
siderable energy TO the accumulation
and dissemination of facts concern
ing the behavior OF water from the time
it reaches the earth as rain or snow
until IL joins the ocean or great nayi-
gable rivers. Public appreciation OF
the value Of this work has steadily In
creased, and urgent demands for its
extension have come from all sections
of the country. The work includes the
collection OF data relating to the flow
of surface streams, researches on the
location and movements OF under

rivers which move with elaboration
and the investigation of the physical
character of these waters, such as
hardness, color. turbidity, etc. The
sources and effects of the pollution OF

yards northwest of the crossroads

about three miles. No ties or rails had

his position along the line of railroad.
