An Old Time Alderman.

Several patrons Of the restaurant at
Broadway and Tenth street were lunch
ing there a few days ago, seated at a
table between the corner windows on
the second floor which commanded a
fine view down Broadway, which
makes a sharp turn at Tenth street.
Said one of them: "Do you know that
this bend in Broadway was made in
order to save tree? Well, it was. AS
originally planned, Broadway would
have cut slice off the lawn Of Hen
dirk Brevoort, who ran tavern in
the Dutch farmhouse which stood
where Grace church now is. He was
an alderman, like many of his profes-
sion today, and not only succeeded in
saving the magnificent tree in the
shade of which his customers fingered
over their pipes to watch the traffic on
Bloomingdale road, but about 1S49 al
so prevented the opening Of Eleventh
street from Fourth avenue to Broad
way, which would have necessitated
the tearing down Of his tavern New

The MadriqaI,

The word madrigal sounds very
formidable to a beginner in music
More than once have heard the ques.
tion, "What is a madrigal?' Strictly
speaking, a madrigal is an elaborate
vocal composition in from three to six
parts, generally sung in chorus. The
melody should not be carried through
a single part, but should be dispersed
in phrases through the different voices
in the conversational manner peculiar
to the music of the sixteenth and sew.
enteenth centuries. The true madriga]
has no accompaniment This form of
song is considered English, but is
thought to have had it's origin in the
Netherlands. The exact derivation of
the word is not known. The first
madrigals are believed to have been
morning songs, shepherds lays or
songs in praise of the Virgin.-Circle

TO PICK CANDIDATES
House Favors Bill Giving the
Voters the Choice.
EXTENDS PRIMARY SYSTEM

6augstad Measure Would Make 1t Ap-
ply to State Officers--Senate Sus-
pends the Rules and Passes the
Rate Commodity Bill.
St. Paul, April 13.-The house COM
mittee Of the whole voted to report
for passage the Saugstad bill extend
ing the primary election system to
state officers. On an informal ballot
regarding the main proposition, with
out considering the question Of date
or other details, there were &C for and
19 against.
Opposition to the bill was raised by
the city members on account of the
date fixed, the second Tuesday in June.
They did not want the county or city
candidates nominated at that time,
as it would make too long a campaign
for them. They were promised the
privilege of offering an amendment to
the bill which will permit holding
! county and city primaries, at least in
the three large counties, at some later
date. - F.. B.. Phillips of Ramsey has
bill fixing the date four weeks be-
fore the general election instead of
seven, and this idea may be adopted.
The Saugstad bill, besides provid-
ing for the extension to state officers
and the change of date, provides that
the nominees for state officers, for
United States senator, for congress
and for the legislature shall meet and
formulate the state platform and Sc
lect the state central committee and
it's officers. 49,. .~ -.
For another two years at least, un-
less there is some new turn of the leg
islative mind, the state will have to-
get along with it's present system of
having executions at the county jails
instead of at the state prison. The
bill introduced by F. B. Phillips to
have the hangings at the state prison
was killed by the house committee of
the whole. The bill introduced by F.
B. Wright of Minneapolis to have all
capital punishment inflicted by means
Of an electric chair at the state prison
is still before the house, but is we'll
down the list and not likely to be
reached at this session.
