BILL TO PERMIT SUNDAY BALL.
Measure Will Be introduced in the
Legislature on Monday.

st. Paul, March ia bill permit
ting the playing of baseball on Sunday,
between the hours of ! and 6 p. M,
will be introduced in the house, Mon
day, by Frank Nimocks. A draft of the
bill was considered by the committee
on municipal legislation this afternoon.
The bill limits the playing of ball
to orderly essemblages. Otherwise the
sport will be q misdemeanor and the
crowd subject to dispersal by the
police. 1t is confidently believed that
it will pass.
George Lennon Of the st. Paul club,
and manager Cantillon, of the Mime
apolis club, were about the legislative
halls yesterday and the interest dis
played by them indicated desire for
its passage. Several members made a
canvass of the house and brought
back word that they found little OPP
position to the bill.

SUFFERING FROM LONGEVITY.

The little town of Athol, Mass, is
suffering from the longevity of one
of its residents, as noted in a recent
news item, says The Winona Independ-
ent. A poor carpenter who had saved
$4,000 lent it to the town in 1876, the
conditions being that he should re-
ceive an annuity of $40 year till
he died, his wife $50 during her life
time and their daughters $l2O year
as long as they lived. The carpenter
died two years ago at the age of
ninety, the wife has just died at the
age of eighty-n nine and the daughter is
still healthy Up to date the town has
paid $4,000 for the original $4,000
This recalls similar experience of a
little town in western New York. A
veteran of the war of 1912 left the
Methodist church in the village his
little fortune when he was seventyfiye
years old, on condition that the church
would pay him fifteen per cent on the
principal till he died. That looked like
a good bargain and the church accepted
The old man then proceeded to live
till he was l03, and for twenty eight
years that church paid its fifteen pei
cent.

MAY PICK UP MIDNIGHT LID BILL
Friends of the Measure Will Try to
ReSurrect It on Monday.

st. Paul, March st is possible
that a motion will be made on Mon
day for the reconsideration of the vote
by which j. ID. O'Brien's twelve o'clock
lid bill was indefinitely postponed by
the house late Thursday afternoon.
The bill was for the sole benefit of
cities of the first class and canvass,
made prior to its consideration, show
ed sufficient votes TO pass it. Numer-
Gus amendments, however, sounded its
death knell and those pledged to its
passage took advantage of the fact to
withdraw their support.
Those. behind the bill say tactical
blunder was committed and they now
ask that it be resurrected and consid,
cred on its merits, as far as its rela
ton toNthe cities is concerned.

SYMPHONY CONCERT LAST NIGHT
Rare Treat Is Given Music Lovers al
the Opera House.

the opera MOUSE.
From SATURDAYS Oanv
Mankato music lovers were given the
rare opportunity at the opera house
last night of listening to one of the
most finished productions of chamber
music ever given by the Minneapolis
Symphony quartet. The audience that
greeted the quartet was very large
and appreciative one, but lacked a
certain amount of audible expression of
appreciation until after the second
Mr.. Fischer was very happy in his
sketch regarding the origin of chamber
music and of what it is and also gave
pleasing interpretations of each selec-
ton as the program advanced.
As an opening number, Mozart's SON
alta, No. II, G major, in four move
much richness and depth, both charac-
terestcs of which were marked through
out the whole program, together with
the ensemble passages which were not
ably fine and very evenly sustained
The violin solo, Lucia Fantasia, by
Herr Korb as the second number
showed much artistic intelligence and
sympathetic Interpretation. Herr korb's
technique also evidenced no end OF
genuine talent and in mis- solo work
he achieved well merited triumph and
responded to an encore with Mr.
Fischer at the piano.
For the third number one movement
of Grieg's sonata, OPP. p, G minor was
given by the quartet. The theme mere
was an unusual one that was looked
for throughout the whole movement
and happily accepted by the audience
at every return.
| Each number was in itself so full
of meaning and thoughtful study, aside
from the wonderful technique shown
that it would be difficult to choose
any as more enjoyable than the pre-
ceding one unless it were that of the
cello work by AIr. Fischer. with wnon
the audience felt most at ease, due
undoubtedly to his kindly explanations
of the movements and of the impress
sion made upon those who had giver
careful study to each theme. His APP
pearance in next to tne last number
was greeted with burst of applause
his cello Interpretation being wonder
fully fine as well as his remarkable
blending and sharp precision. Mr.
Fischer kindly responded to two EN-
cores.
The last selection was by the Quar-
tet and was in two parts, Love Scene
by Raft and The Mill by Lent, giver
to show the different mode of expires
sion between the composer of older
times and the modern one.
The second violin and viola, in The
hands of Franz Dicks and Olaf Hall
were on the same artistic level that
was sustained by the quartet as 6
whole, and solo parts by them would
have been warmly received.
1t is not too much to say that never
has there been a more artistic or vel
balanced program given to a Mankatt
audience

IS A BAR TO IMMIGRATION
New Settlers Are Annoyed at the Min.
nesOta Transfer.

From SATURDAY. SN1Oailv
Minnesota is likely to suffer to a
large extent in the matter of imm-
grafton owing to the scarcity of fed
eral inspectors at the Minnesota Trans
fer, who inspect the cattle immigrants
bring with them into the state, says
The st. Paul Pioneer Press. There is
also a decided lack Of information re-
garding the inspection laws on the part
of the prospective settlers in Mime
sofa.
Immigrants come to this state from
all parts of the Union, and when they
learn that the time consumed at the
transfer for the inspection of cattle is
about two days they become wrathy
and send letters of criticism and CEN
sure to the state immigration commits
sion, it is claimed. They believe the
immigration board is responsible for
the delay, whereas the bureau has
nothing to do with it. The live stock
sanitary board is also blamed, as the
people believe that the inspection is a
state matter, when, as matter of
fact, it is wholly federal concern.
At present there are three inspectors
at the transfer. Dr. Harrison is in
charge, and he denies that there is any
delay in the inspection of cattle. He
says that it does not take longer than
one day for the inspection, but that
there may be delays caused by the rail
roads. He says that immigrants could
have their cattle pass through with
out any examination, provided they
bring certificate from proper vet.
erinarian of the state from which
they come. This the. immigrants do not
know.
Immigrant, land and development
companies have written to the state
immigration commission, stating that
no more cattle would be brought into
the state through their agencies, if the
delay continues. The commission is
sending out the information to the
companies and immigrants that it is a
federal matter and that a proper GER
tificate would bring the cattle into the
state without inspection. But if the
number of inspectors is to be increased
that will have to be taken up with the
national government.

DENOUNCED THE SUPPLEMENT.

The Chicago Municipal Art league is
no friend of the comic supplement, II
one is to judge by a discussion in
dulged in by that body recently when
the subject was brought to the fore
by member who spoke his mind freely
The CANDY colored sheets were torn to
tatters and scattered to the four winds
"The supplement is one of the dis
guises under which the monster goes
prowling about. He comes into the
home in his gaudy colors, holding his
distorted mirror up to nature and un,
dermining the artistic taste of youth
Such were the forceful expressions OF
some of the members. The much de-
spised "comic" supplement is fast los
ing friends.

PASS UP THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE.

John Raines of Springfield township
called on the Heron Lake News Monday
and gave the FOLLOWING, taken from
his old home paper, for publication:
An Iowa farmer received a letter
from a Chicago mail order house solicit
ing his patronage for goods, and ms
reply is worth reading. He said:
Il can get my goods within one
hours drive of my farm and enjoy
the satisfaction of inspecting these
goods, which privilege is worth more
than the slight difference in cost. Fur
thermore, if l send to you for goods
You expect cash TO accompany the or
der. for you refuse to send the goods,
and l am paying for goods l have not
an opportunity TO see, which to sane
man is rather an unbusiness like pro-
ceeding. Here at home | am able to
obtain goods from my home dealer on
one to six months time, often without
paving a cent of interest which no cata-
logue house l know of will do.
Il am satisfied that if our home
merchants could do strictly cash
business as you do, they could sell
goods cheaper than any catalogue
house on earth. We, who at times are
obliged to ask for more or less credit
would certainly be unreasonable to give
that portion of our trade to the home
merchants and what cash we have to a
concern like yours who are no benefit
TO our community. We should be
willing, in fact, to pay little more
for what we buy when we realize
that the difference i'll price is our just
portion toward building up our com
munity and maintaining our thriving
towns that have made life worth living,
and most decidedly increased the Value
of farm lands. Moreover, L certainly
do not believe in the establishment of
more trusts. We certainly have trusts
enough to contend with at the present
time without making any more, and we
are just simply assisting to establish
trust when we persist in sending
all of our surplus cash to you, doing
it all at the expense of our merchants
and therefore, our welfare.
Farmers who will stop to consider
this matter, will realize that their
home merchants will make to them
concessions that will more than equal
ize any benefit that may be derived
from patroniZing your house.

ROOSEVELT REGARDS TRIP INTO

Oyster Bay, L. l., March l3-Theo-
dore Roosevelt threw off the mantle of
silence which he has worn persistently
since his arrival at Sycamore Hill, and
talked about his African shooting trip.
Il have just received a telegram
from press agency asking me if l
would permit a representative to ac-
company me on my African trip" he
said. "You may say for me that l
shall not permit this under any cir
cumstances. l cannot prevent the
| newspapers sending representatives on
the steamship, which will take me to
Naples, or on the vessel which will
convey me to or near Nairobi, British
East Africa, but after that | shall
have something to say"
Will Not Commit Himself.

take?" was asked
Il won't commit myself" said Mr..
Roosevelt, laughing, "but | shall do
all in my power to prevent the out
fitting of any caravan that designs to
follow my expedition into the Jungle.
ii have been informed that one press
agency expects to outfit a caravan with
a view to following my party, and
this other news concern, which has Just

ton put to the former president.
Trip Is Merely An Incident.
"Come and see me during the fall
of 1910, and then I shall answer you,
he replied IF the professors, who
take such warm interest in my trip
and my chances for contracting and
surviving miasmatic fevers in the
African jungle, knew how little their
views affected me, they might not
utter them. / have been in bad places
before and l know how>to take care
of myself.
Besides the territory in Africa I am
going to visit is as safe to traverse
as are the marshes of the south. Lam
accustomed to facing dangers and the
fear of fever is purely imaginary. l
served my apprenticeship on the west
ern plains, and little iaunt into
Africa will be merely a diversion"
