SIDEWALK CoLLAPSES.
Four Hundred People TumbIed Into
Heap in st. Paul.

More than 400 people, men, women
and children, were tumbled into heap
at st. Paul by collapse of sidewalk.
When the firenen went to their as.
slstance the writing mass of human
ity was four or five deep, grooming
and yelling with fright.
A blaze in the house Of Patrick
Reany, 934 Conway street, attracted
The crowd. Nearly the entire juvenile
population of the locality, with many
men and women, had followed the 1lro
apparatus to the fire. The home OF
MI Reany is in a hollow about six
ieet below the sidewalk. A crowd had
gathered on the sidewalk when about
Elf block of sidewalk slid from u&.
Ter the feet of the spectators.
Tie boards of the walk slid down
the slipping hill and crashed into the
tence about the house, tearing it away.
ne SPECTATORS fell in a heap and
rolled down the embankment, The
.:cies of the young people brought the
n;emen to their aid and in a short
while all were able to get out of the
mix. No one was injured seriously.

SUNDAY LID Will STAY
Young Says Attempts to
Enforce Other Blue
Laws Will Fail

The ealoonkee pers will havt to be
content with keeping the Sunday lid
tight, thinks Attorney General E. L.
Young, who is in the city and spoke
before the Municipal league TODAY.
says the Duluth Daily Star.
They might just as well give up the
hope Of ever being allowed by the
people Of the state to keep their shops
open on Sunday.
The present fight to make the Sun
day closing Law unpopular will be
futile. in the opinion Of the attorney
general. and the sooner the light is
stopped the better for the saloon con-
tingent. ~
Il don't think the liquor laws of the
state will be changed so as to allow
saloon men to keep open on Sunday,
said Mr.. Young.
The effort Of saloon men to make
the Sunday closing law unpopular by
attempting to apply it to all other
business will not succeed.
The people viii not be dictated to
by handful of liquor men.
Il have nothing to do with enforc.
ing the liquor law: that devolves
upon the local authorities. All I do
is to see that the law regarding neg.
l'gent local officials is enforced"

to write down tho things one is apt to

publication of the stories making him

more conventional phrase:

Weyerhaeuser's partners know about

no one except the old man himself
has q comprehensive knowledge of his
dealings with them al. It would
take a LIT Of figuring to get up 4
complete Weyerhaeuser balance sheet.
Undoubtedly his habit of selecting
able and deserving business associates
as partners and giving them . chance
enterprise. which has extended over
his entire business career, has had
good deal to do with the growth Of
bis wealth. But his associates and
friends declare that it had its origin
in his natural willingness to ''see the

himself. They agree that he has been

GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN.

1.-THE most honorable Governor I have
ever known was George B. Mcclellan, who
came next. He was as gentle and tender
hearted as woman, and the acts of phil
anthropy and kindness that he performed
during his administration would fill a
book. On one occasion miserable looking,
barefoot little girl was seen peering in the
door of the executive mansion and the iani-
tor was heard to grufiy order her .away.
Governor Mcclellan happened to see the
incident, and calling me in asked me TO
find out about the child. She told a pitt
full tale of poverty and distress and Mr..
Mcclellan Investigated the case, found it as
represented, and provided relief Scores of
such cases occurred during the administra-
ton of this big hearted Governor.
Mcclellan was plain, honest soldier,
and knew nothing about politics and the
wiles and double dealings of the game. He
carried into the performance Of his duties
the straightforward principles he had
learned at West Point, and the Democratic
politicians often gasped with dismay at the
blunt and open eyed candor and honesty Of
their Governor. He was a great admirer Of
the late Major Anderson, who was Republi.
can State Controller during part Of bis
term. The Major was one Of the brainiesl
men in the State, and as Governor McClel
Ian was also man of high intellectually
he naturally took to him, and often CON
suited him in preference to his own party
leaders about matters Of policy Scheminl
spoilsmen saw Governor Mcclellan retire
from the Office with sights Of relief, and the
people Of the state with deep regret. HI

Col. Edward D. Fox, for forty odd years

following recital Of his impressions Of the
principal characteristics Of our State Cover
nors from Marcus L. Ward to Governor
Robert S. Green, propriety preventing him
from referring to Messrs. Werts, Voorhees,,

MARCUS L. WARD.

In the opinion Of Col Fox, Marcus L..
Ward was one of the noblest men who ever
occupied the Executive chair. "The cali
bre Of a Governor" he said, lis shown by
the character Of the men he selects for the
heads Of the departments Governor Ward
brought forward such men as Frederick L..
Frelinghuysen and George M. Robson as
Attorney Generals; William L. Dayton as
private secretary, Horace n. Conger as
Secretary of State, Barker Gummere as
clerk in chancery, etc. II was Governor
Wards custom, as it was of all the Cover
nors of that period, to consult quite often
with these leaders as to policies and politi-
cal plans. They were regarded as the
Governors Cabinet. Governor Ward was a
man of the most humane principles and
spotless character.

soaring ambition, Of fierce energy Of oharac-
ter and Of absolute fearlessness. The two
great fights Of his life were to compel the
railroad corporations to pay fairer share
OF taxes and to win election to the United
States Senate. To these purposes he bent
all the marvellous energies Of his resource
full nature and put up fights that convuls-
ed the State. from Sussex to Cape May.
There is no doubt that be set in operation
the forces that have finally worked out the
solution Of the railway tax question. He
was never given the credit that was justly
his for the courage and ability with which
he took the hitherto invincible giant cor
porations by the throat and brought them
to their knees; but history will do justice
to its efforts. He was also disappointed in
his Senatorial struggle, the prize after be
had won it being snatched from his hands
and carried away by another. His inti-
mate friends know that he died bitterly
disappointed and broken hearted man.

JOEL PARKER .

Joel Parker. who followed Randolph
was known as the great commoner' and as
the War Governor, as he had served pre-
vious term from 1868 to 1866. He was the
most Democratic OF all the old time
Governors. He sent for me soon after his
inauguration and said. Now, Eddie /
want you to take the doors Of the Executive
Department off their hinges. and let every
body who wants to see me come right in. 4
He was man Of wonderful common sense
and solved all questions with much of the
tact and good iundment that was so chat
acteristlc of Vice President Hobart. He
was genuine Democrat, calling men in an
unaffectedly familiar way by their first
names, Tom. Dick, Harry ETC., and
putting on no airs. He was one of the
very few Governors who left the Eexeoutive
office more popular than when be entered

JOSEPH D. BEDLE.

Parker was followed by another Demo-
orat, Joseph D. Bedle, who brought to the
Office legal attainment of high order.
When nominated for Governor he was a
Judge of the Supreme Court, and he re-
fused to resign or to take any part what
ever in the campaign, to the intense disgust
Of many of the Democratic Iesders. But
his independent attitude was Endorsed by
the people of the State, be being elected by
more than thirteen thousand majority.
Bedie made a very conscientious and high
class Governor. He would give no coun-
tenance or support to mean men or crooked
measures. He was striking man in his
personal appearance. His eyes were as
bright as stars and he wole long hair and
was handsome and picturesque.
