MISPLACED
CONFIDENCE

Some time since IA stout, mid
dle-aged person, answering to
the name of J. w. Kyle, and
purporting to be newspaper
man in hard luck, appealed to
the editor of THE News for as
sistance. Employment was offer
ed and accepted and Kyle was
sent to Osceola and Blackhorse,
sufficiently supplied with funds
to perform the duties assigned
to him.
1t appearing that this oycr-fed
migrate has abused our confidence
by borrowing money from friends
of The News on spurious drafts
we hereby denounce him as Il
fakir and confidence operator.
We also warn all patrons of The
News that said Kyle has no fur
ther connection with this paper:
also that representatives of THE
News are not under the necessity
of borrowingmoney and that any
request for credit made in the
name of TnE WHITE PlSf NEWS
may be dismissed as spurious.
TmE News is il cash newspaper.
We neither ask nor give credit.
The performance of this man
Kyle, whom We sought to be-
friend, has not -weakened.- our
faith in human nature. but i; has
filled us with II disgust which all
honest men must share.

MINNEAPOLIS RATES
FOR LIGHTING
DISCUSSED
Minneapolis Council in Almost
Same Fix as Grand Forks
in re Franchise.
MINNEAPOLIS JournaI.1

Minneapolis is entitled to reduc-
ton in the price of electric power and
light, says G. l.. Pillsbury, the electri-
assist in the investiga ton of the
charges for electricity. Mr.. Pillsbury's
report was presented yesterday at
meeting of a subcommittee consisting
of President A. E. Merrill and Alder
men Plat B. Walker and Wendell
Hertig, Henry G. Bradlee of Boston,
one of the high officers of the General
Electric circuit, was present at the
meeting. Another conference was held
today, and the same persons will meet
again next Saturday.
Mr.. Pillsbury has presented a VOL
luminous and somewhat technical re-
port, which is described by Mr.. Brad
lee as an able and comprehensive doc
ument
In answer to the first question SUBJ
mitted as to the amount of the re-
duction in the new schedule proposed
by the Minneapolis General Electric
company, Mr.. Pillsbury says that the
schedule offers slightly reduced rates
to the short hour" incandescent light
ing consumer, and very low rates to
the long hour" users of electric pow
err.
He furthermore says that the prices
are not exorbitant in view of the COM
pany's reports as to it's investment
gross expenditures and net profits.
Accompanying the report is table
comparing rates for electricity in
about thirty cities. Figuring on the
basis of ten lamps per ~ kilowatt
hours, one-half an hour day, he finds
that eight cities have higher rates
than Minneapolis has, eight about the
same rates. and thirteen lower rates.
On the basis of 30 kilowatts month,
or two hours day, there are only
three cities having higher rates than
Minneapolis, and twenty-six with low
er rates. He explains, however, that
comparisons On the basis of rates are
neither fair nor satisfactory, as con-
ditions vary greatly in different cities.
Mr.. Pillsbury recommends that, in
stead of adopting the proposed sched-
ule of the General Electric company,
limiting the maximum charge to IA
cents kilowatt hour, with a mini
mum of sixty hours month, the city
require the company to make the
same rate for a minimum of <fifty-twO
hours, for period of year or two,
after which, he says, there should be
a further reduction to 1871 cents
kilowatt with minimum month of
forty-five hours. At the end of a
five-year period It is expected to fix
a new schedule by arbitration.
Mr.. Bradlee is not impressed with
any provision for arbitration, and de-
sires to have the matter of rates left
to an agreement between the city
council and the company. The alder
men are strongly in favor of insert
ing provision for arbitration in the
event that franchise is granted. It
is understood that the franchise ques-
ton will be taken up again.

Two Titles.

An American father had two daugh-
tiers. and when he died he left each
of them a large fortune. One of them
said to herself, like society, like
titles, and as there are no titles in
America l will cast my lot in foreign
lands. AS she was rich and attractive,
1t was not long before a titled gentle
man from France offered her his hand
In marriage. She accepted, the mar
riage ceremony was performed, and
she went with her titled husband to
Paris, opened a place and went in for
all the enjoyments of French society.
We shall not speak of the many
troubles which befell her and the dis
tress which her titled husband brought
upon herself and members of her
family in America. But the upshot of
1t is that the Count has spent up to
this time something like $4,000 900 of
her estate, and besides has so outraged
her feelings by his attentions to an
other woman that she has brought suit
for divorce.
The other daughter said, love the
simple life best, and will consecrate
myself, my talents, my mind, my wom-
anhood and my fortune to the good of
humanity. From that day she has
found her pleasures in doing good.
She has never been ostentatious; she
has never paraded herself before the
public; she has found no time for the
frivolities of society, for she has been
too busy in good works for such diver
sions. If she had any desire for a
title, save that which belongs to every
true American woman, the public at
least had no evidence of it, and vet she
has title. She is known throughout
the length and breadth of the land as
our uncrowned American queen, and
that title, which has been voluntarily
bestowed upon her by the American
public, is title of honor more rich
and worthy than any which has been
gained by inheritance or by marriage.
Which of these two titled women do
our American girls most admire? And
which has had the happier life?-

THE NAMES GIVEN DRINKS.
"Cablegram"-Whiskey and Ginger
Ale Mixed.

Ale Mixed.
why is cablegram called a cable
gram?"
The question was asked by a man
who stood at hotel bar and watched
the bartender as he poured whiskey
into glass and then filled it to the
top with ginger ale.
"Ill tell you," said the bartender,
"and it's an interesting story. To be-
gin with, a cablegram is distincively
a Missouri name for the drink If you
were to ask for it by that name in the
East the bartender would whisper to
the porter:
"'Watch that guy; he's gone wrong
In the head
THE name originated here in Kan
sas City, too. 1t was born down in
the North End, past the Fifth street
dead line
Zone night hobo was standing in
front of North End bar. He drank
whisky and ginger ale until he became
drunk. He began amusing others in
the place by pretending someone was
trying to get him by cable. After a
while he imagined he was getting
cablegrams from all over the world.
About every Is minutes he would re-
ceive an imaginary cab!egram and
read it. And that's how the drink re-
ceived its name-a cablegram 1t
gradually grew in favor and finally be-
came popular on this side of the dead
line 1t is known now in many other
cities.''
Bartenders have many theories and
ideas regarding the origin of the
names of drinks, but they are all
agreed on the origin of the high
ball" The drink derives it's name
from an old custom of the drink mix
ers. During their spare moments they
used to roll a piece of ice between
their hands until it was shaped in the
form of ball. These balls of ice
would then be put away and kept in
reserve to drop into a glass of whis-
key. diluted with water or ginger ale.
The drink came to be called high
BALI because of the ball of ice float
ing high in the glass. The custom of
rounding the ice has disappeared now.
The ice is cut into small squares.
A drink that is distinctly Missouri
an is the gin rickey, which was named
for Joseph X. Hickey, a lobbyist, who
was for years around the Legislature
at Jefferson City and finally went to
Washington. Colonel" Hickey, as he
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-06-12

was known to members of congress,
was famous story teller. The gin
rickey was of his own concoction and
took his name. He committed suicide
In New York in 1898.
The name "tin roof" can be applied
to any drink. The term was origin
ated in this way:
Many years ago wag walked into
a barroom, that neither history nor
tradition locates, and said:
"Give me tin roof"
What kind of a drink is that?"
asked the bartender
Give me glass and the whiskey
bottle and I'll show you," replied the
wag.
Then he poured a drink and after
swallowing it, started to walk out.
What about the pay for that
drink" demanded the bartender.
"Why, that's tin roof" said the
wag. ut was on the house."
There are many queer, strange
names for fancy drinks that come over
the bar. The Mamie Taylor" a
Scotch whiskey drink diluted with
ginger ale and favored with lime,
was brought to Kansas City by the
Tammany delegation to the National
Democratic convention in 100.
Horses Neck" ginger ale drink
favored with lemon peel, originated
in the Bohemian clubs in London. The
name is derived from the long, taper
ing glass in which it is served.
New Orleans is famous the world
over for its mixed drinks. An ex-
pert bartender in Chicago has quit the
bar and spends all his time in con-
cocting new drinks. He is now au-
thority on the subject and issues a
blue" book each year. In Europe
there is little mixing of drinks. In
Paris there are American bars that
cater to the mixed drink tourists from
this country.-Kansas City Star.
