yond the fact that at certain stated
times performances of Wagner's
operas were given there with az much
solemnity as great religious festivals.
and that musical people spoke OF the

much surprised II any one had told
him that he often whistled fragments
Of "Parsifal" 10 himself and liked the

punching days. he had been for si1
months In company with two young
men who used to whistle softly to-
gether by the hour beside the camp
fire. and none OF the other boys" had
ever heard the strange tunes they
seemed to like best. but Van Torn
had caught and remembered many
fragments. almost unconsciously, and
he whistled them to himself because
they gave him q sensation which no
real music" ever did. Extraordinary
natures. like his. are often endowed
with unnoticed gifts and tastes quite
unlike those Of most people. No one
knew anything about the young men
who whistled Wagner: the Lost

two were not popular with the rest.
though they knew their business and
did their work fairly well. One Of
them was afterwards said to have
been killed In a shooting ARRAY and
the other had disappeared about the
same time. no one knew how, or
cared. though Mr.. Van Torp thought
he had recognized him once many
years later. They were neither Amer.
leans nor Englishmen. though they
both spoke English well. and never
were heard to use any other language.

Notes of Rich Sweetness.
Il regard Minneapolis as my home,
and l am proud that I have written a
song which will furnish the Univer-
sity of Minnesota with it's athletic
melody" said Floyd NJ. Hutsell of Min
neapolis, when informed of the honor
that had been awarded him as winner
OF the contest for the university song.
The contest started three weeks ago
and each competitor was obliged to
furnish complete song arrangement
with the words, and in this particular
the Judges, who met at the home of
President Northrop, found it somewhat
bewildering to make a decision 1t
was an easy matter to judge of the
words, but not so regarding the music.
Then it was that the problem was con-
siderably simplifed, when Governor
Eberhart showed his ability as vocal
lst, as well as statesman, to be more
than the ordinary, in the singing of
the university airs to the accompani-
ment of Professor Carlyle Scott, with
correctness that showed an unusual
good understanding of music. President
Northrop also showed that he was up
In the same art, and hummed along
with the governor in tuneful tones.
Governor Eberhart was chairman of the
judges and with him on the committee
were President Northrop, Professor
Carlyle Scott, J. A. Sende and Arthur
Allen, president of the Glee and Man
dolin club of the university
On Tuesday evening a mass meeting
is to be held. when Mr.. Hutsell will be
formally announced as victor in the
contest, and arrangements will be made
at once to have the song copyrighted in
Presidents Northrop's name.

FOR THE HALL OF FAME.

Statue of the Late United States Sem
ator Henry M. Rice.
st. Paul, Nov. S.-One of Minnesota s
historic sons will be formally recog-
nlZed by the first of the year when a
hfe sized statue of former United
States Senator Henry NJ Rice will be
placed in one of the inches in the Hall
of Fame at Washington. He repre-
sented Minnesota at Washington from
1858 to 1868.
The long delayed action, authorized
by joint resolution, passed by the
legislature in 1899, recognizing Gov.
Alexander Ramsey and Senator Rice
as entitled to recognition in the Hall
of Fame, was taken Saturday, when
Maurice Auerbach notified Secretary of
State julius A. Schmahl that the
statue was in preparation and that the
capitol authorities. would be notified in
time so as to arrange for it's unveil-
ing.
Though the existence of such reso-
lntion was known to several of the
surviving members of the 1899 legis-
lature, public knowledge of the fact
only followed by the agitation for a
statue to the late Governor johnson,
which number of his friends wanted
placed in the Hall of Fame 1t was
then that this almost forgotten reso-
tuition was brought to light, and, from
all accounts, it seems the family took
immediate steps to secure compliance
with it.
Senator Rice was a ST. Paulite and
his name is indelibly linked with the
progress of the Capital City, At the
last session of the legislature per-
mission was given the family to install
a bust of Senator Rice in one of the
inches in the rotunda of the state
capitol. The cost was to be borne by
the family.
The resolution emitting him to one
of the two Minnesota places in the
Hall of Fame at Washington was in
troduced by former State Senator

FREE BEER AND FREE SPEECH
These Demanded BY the international
Workers of the World.

Spokane. Wash, Nov. S.-The Spo-
kane police and the sheriff's dep
uties have successfully handled the in
vasion of the International Workers of
the World who came to this city to
proclaim their doctrines on the streets
and who demand free speech and free
beer. Their object was to fill the jails
to overlooking, and thus cause the po-
lice great inconvenience and force a
release of all, as was the case in
MissOula. ~"
But the Spokane authorities had pre-
pared fol the advent of the street
speakers. The leaders will be tried on
charges of rioting and sent to the
state penitentiary if found guilty. The
others are being sent to the county
Jail for thirty days, and will not be
put on the new rock pile just estab
lished by the city and county.
The fire hose was turned on a por-
ton of the street crowd yesterday, and
many meetings on street corners were
thus dispersed without arrests. The
International Workers of the World
have money, said to have been sent
from Chicago, back of them. Attorneys
have been engaged, Fred Moore of Port
land, Ore, being the leading counsel
for the order.

MOVING PLATFORM SUBWAY.
Unique Mode of Transportation to Be
introduced in New York.

introduced in New York.
New York, Nov. Am experimental
moving platform subway under Broad
way, from Fourteenth to Forty second
streets, to be built and operated by
the Continuous Transit Securities com
pany, in which young Cornelius Van
derbilt and Stuyvesant Fish are inter
ested, has been recommended to the
New York public service commission by
the boards chief engineer, Henry b.
Seaman. 1t will be a permanent sub
way if the public likes it, and is likely
to be adopted in other intensely con-
gested routes in New York.
Engineer Seaman tells the public
service commission that the continuous
belt conveyor has been found to be
the cheapest and speediest mechanical
continuance in factories and ware
houses, and he believes the same prin-
ciple can be applied to rapid transit.
The idea is to have a continuous NOV
ing platform equipped with seats, NOV
ing at twelve miles an hour. The pas
senger will first step on platform
going three miles an hour, then to an
one going six miles an hour,
then to the next one going nine miles
an hour, and, lastly, to the endless
moving platform.
New York subway trains, Mr.. Sea-
man says, never average more than
fifteen miles an hour, and do not go
more than twelve miles an hour in
rush hours-and their limit is o.
500 passengers an hour. The express,
he says, can carry only $4,000 an hour
Surface cars, he says, make only three
miles an hour in rush hours, and never
more than eight miles an hour. AS
against this, he says, the continuous
moving platform will carry 1880 pas
sengers an hour, all seated In addi-
ton, he says, there will be no delay in
waiting for trains, and passengers may
board or leave at will at any point.
There may be stations at every cross
street, he says, or the subway may
take the form of a continuous arcade.
