Mankato to Have Street Cars.

Mankato.-A street railway is now,
assured in Mankato, to be built en-
tirely by local capital. A syndicate
of local capitalists agreed to put up
500, 200 if the citizens generally would
furnish $4,000. The last 50, 900 was

TO KEEP OUT OF CHICAGO.
That Is the Talk of American Assocla-
etion Owners at Present.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-The owners of
the baseball club in the American as
ISOLATION gathered here today for the
annual meeting of their organization.
1t is generally believed that no at
tempt will be made by the organiza-
ton to place a club in Chicago, al
though all of the members are agreed
upon the desirability of such move.
President O'Brien today reiterated his
opinion that there will be no attempt
to invade the territory of the Amerl-
can and National leagues. He said he
expected the question to come before
the meeting for discussion, but did
not believe that any direct action
would be taken looking to the estab-
fishing of a club in Chicago for some
time.
If it is decided to make any change
in the circuit of the association there
will be a great rush on the part of
minor leagues to take up the terri
tory that may be vacated.
President Lamb of the Northern
Copper league is in the city to await
the result of the meeting and If it is
decided to switch the ST. Paul club TO
Chicago, as there has been some talk
of doing. he will endeavor to make
arrangements to put one of the clubs

other in Minneapolis. to play sch ed

ORCHESTRA STRUCK.
Hammerstein's Leader Came Near
Leaving for Europe.

New York, Dec. %. Cleofonte
Campanini. the great director. to
whom is due much of the success Of
the Manhattan opera house, came
very near returning to Europe yester-
day under exactly the same circum-
stances which induced him to come
to America. At 10 o'clock in the
morning a rehearsal Of Don Giovan-
ni'' began and at o'clock in the af-
ternoon the members of the orchestra
decided that five hours rehearsing was
enough and put down their fnstru-
ments and refused to go on. Signor
Campanini rushed from the theater,
declaring that he would no longer at
tempt to direct an orchestra which
would not rehearse as long as he
wished them to and would return to
Europe forthwith. Oscar Hammer
stein made short speech to the mem
bers of the orchestra, Gained the ex-
cited leader, and the rehearsal con-

FOR THE PERKINS TEST.
The Fee of DR. Cross i'm the Morphine
Analysis Case Is $4,000.

Kansas City, Dec. 2S.-The $4,000
fee of DR.. Walter M. Cross, city chem
list, in the L. H Perkins analysis case
was approved by Judge Smith Nc
Pherson of the federal court. DR..
Cross was chairman of commission
appointed by the court to examine
parts of the body of Mr.. Perkins to
determine the cause of his death. DR..
John c. Freeman of Topeka and DR..
Frank Hall of Kansas City, the other
members of thecomnission. have not
presented bills for their fees. DIR.
Cross has received check for $4,000
from the Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany which the Perkins estate sued to
collect insurance.
Mr.. Perkins was killed by a fall
from the roof sof his home in Law
renee, Kan, June 1. He carried 4
million dollars in life insurance poll
cies. The Mutual contested payment

that morphine and not the fall was
the direct cause of death. The estate
brought suit in the federal court to
collect the insurance. The company
then asked that the body be exhuined
and an analysis made for morphine
DR.. Cross reported to the court that
four grains of morphine had been
found.
The date for the trial of the case
has not yet been set by Judge Nc

MAY INTER In THE CHAPEL.
Burial Ground 1T Westminster Abbey
Is Nearly Exhausted.

London, Dec. 2S.-The recent death
of Lord Kelvin, famous English scient-
list, has given rise to the serious discus
sion of the limitations of the famous
burial crypt of Westminster Abbey. 1t
Kelvin was entitled to a place in this
English hall of fame, and yet it is
very evident that unless new arrange
ments are soon installed there will be
no more room for placing honored re-
mains beneath Westminster tower.
Lord Kelvin has been buried in the
abbey, as no other decision could be
the prayers of the petitioners. Lord
Kelvin thus adds to the small group
of scientists buried in the abbey. The
others are Newton, Darwin and Her
schel. Nevertheless the lack of burial
space is now the subject of heated
consideration. Canon Duckworth, the
sub-dean of Westminster, favors the
cremation of persons whose remains
are to rest in the national Valhalla.
Dean DuckwOrth argues that if urnS
are used instead of collins valuable
saving of space will be effected and
illuStriouS dead.
A different solution of the problem
however, is proposed by the dean him
self. Rev. J. A. Robinson. The dean
suggests that the chapel, one of the
oldest portions of the abbey, construct
ed by King Edward the, confessor,
should be utilized for burials. This his
toric chapel at present is consigned to
dirt and decay, but it could easily be
rescued from it's undeserved oblivion
and converted into a superb hall of
fame. All who are acquainted with the
abbey regard the latter plan as the
best and a good deal more likely to be
heard from in the future.

MILITIA OFFICERS UNIFORM.
When and Where Not to Wear It Is
the Question
From Army and Navy Life


A passenger on a Pacific liner wakes
"sarcastclike" In the service journals
because an Ohio officer wore his uniform
on the ship. While the good taste of the
Ohio officer may be questioned, the Incl
dent brings up an interesting question:
When may an officer of the National
Guard wear his uniform when he Is out
of his state? 1t is his legal right to wear
it anywhere on any proper occasion. The
Constitution prescribes, in article ",
that full faith and credit shall be given
to the public acts of every state by every
other state-and inferentially by the
prescribes that the citizens of each state
shall be entitled to all the privileges and
mmunities of the citizens of every other
state. If. then, the state of Ohio passes
acts and makes regulations regarding tire
wearing of militia uniform, those acts
govern in every state and on every yes
sci Of the United States. The uniform of
the organized militia, authorized by state
law. has been worn. to the knowledge of
the writer, in England at public functions
and weddings. with the decided approval
of King Edward, at the court of Russia
the court of Spain, and in Italy. Either
the uniform of the organized militia-it
now being the same the army uni
form with the exception of the collar and
cap ornaments-can be worn upon any oc-
casion when the army uniform is prop
erly worn. it cannot. And If 1t cam
not, why not?

The Decline of Bank Burglary.

From the Van Norden Magazine.
Previous TO 1896 there was seldom a
year that the losses through bank bur
giares did not amount to S1O0, 900. and In
number of years the losses amounted
to several times that amount. The de-
cline of professional bank burglary dates
from 1890. In that year the American
Bankers Association formed protective
COMMITTEES for the determination of bank
burglars. and a contract was entered into
with one of the leading detective agencies
in the country.
In 1895 the banks of the country lost
