THE JUKE FESTIVAL. The Philharmonic Committee Tells of the i Arrangements to Secure the Thomas Orchestra. "Fudge Young Emphatically Lays Down the Law to the Grand Jury. Fire Underwriters of the Northwest Begin Tlielr Annual Session at the "West. Eulogizing Judge I?a£js:--Xew Pump ing Station — Some Crisp Cur rency of the City. THE TII»1IAS FESTIVAL,. Preparations for a Great Event" Koine of the Points. Messrs. S. C. Gale, W. D. Washburn, John De Laittre, E. J. Phelps. C. M. Lor ing and Courtlandt Babcock have issued a circular to the people of Minneapolis in re lation to the Thomas musical festival. The committee wrote to Charles E. Locke, gen eral manager, at New York, exposing the hope that Mr. Thomas would come and with the association assume the risk of the festival; in reply to which Mr. Locke wrote, urging a CANVAS FOB SUBSCRIPTION* TICKETS to the festival, adding: "If this is done, and the result is sufficiently encouraging, Mr. Thomas would be willing, with his knowledge of the efficient management and funnel- remarkable success of your festivals, to take some risks with you. But unless this is done it would be impossible, for the reason that tlie expense of sixty solo mu sicians and six vocal artists, forming a troupe superior to any he ever before pre sented, is too great to make it possible for him to depart from his invariable custom of requiring a guarantee in some form suf ficient at least to cover the actual cost. But he will cheerfully go as far as his grateful knowledge of your former success and the great efficiency of your management will warrant it you will therefore institute an immediate canvas for subscriptions, and ap prise us of tlie result, meanwhile carrying out iii good faith your assurance of hearty CO-operation in working up the festival and furnishing the chorus, Mr. Thomas, will be pleased to come." . PROPOSITION ACCEPTED. The Philharmonics gladly accepted the proposition and on Wednesday night ap pointed the committee named above to carry out its provisions. The association further considered a proposition of Col. Mapleson to hold in Minneapolis next year an opera festival similar to the brilliant affair just concluded in Chicago, and they believe that if the Thomas festival meets with its ac customed success this year, a permanent building can be erected for these purposes — several holders having already prof fen subscriptions to the stock of such a building of 8500 each. These facts are set forth in the circular, which refers to i::.- festival St. Paul will give, and urges the people not to allow the prestige of Minneapolis to be transferred. The following announcements are made: POINTS OF INTEREST. The festival, if held, will probably occur during tlie first week in June. It will con sist of four concerts, and we have deter mined to place the tickets at about one third less price than last year. There will be no profit in the affair for anybody, and several large expenses of constructing stages, electric light, etc., necessary last year, will be obviated, so that we feel war ranted in adopting the prices here given, to -v.ii: For reserved season tickets for the four concerts^ first class 38, second class and third class §5, according to location, as again t $12, S3 and ->; last year. Tickets for. single concerts will be 82,50, 92 and 51. 30, as against &'>J>o, £2.50 and £1.50 last year. The vocal artists are considered superior, as a whole, to those or last year. They ; will consist of Furseli Madi, the great ope ratic soprano, who alternated with Patti in : Mapleson's Chicago festival; EmmaJuch, • who gave such, excellent satisfaction last : year; Miss Helen Campbell and llattie Clapper, both having phenomenal contralto voices: W. J. Winch, the great Boston tenor, who has just made a sensation in London by his electric voice, and Max Heinrich. a basso froai Europe of both ope ratic and oratorio fame. Mr. Thomas eon- ; siders his troupe of this year superior, as a whole, to any he lias before '.presented to the public. The circular concludes with the announcement that the programs will be "popular," sis 'distinguished from those of last year, when the music was selected with special reference to the Wagner trio then engaged. Till. ii BLK noiiALSv jiul<;<' Yon tiff ( lnii':<« Hie Grand Jury io f>ive Particular Atten- | lion to M uiii<-i]ml Offenders* After the public has but recently been as sured by the mayor of Minneapolis in his annual message that the city is in a com paratively healthy morn] condition, and tlie police authorities have been quoted to show a remarkable decrease of crime. Judge Young's charge yesterday to the grand jury in the district court in which he confined , himself almost wholly to a consideration of , the deplorable condition of affairs in Min neapolis, will be a surprise. He assured the jury that it they took the trouble there would be lht!c diiliculy in finding open vio lations of the law carried on with the knowledge and connivance of the authori ties. A tier dwelling at considerable lei._ upon the importance of the duties of grand > jurors the judge said: ; "It rests largely with the people as from i time to time they are summoned to serve as grand and petit jurors, as to whether they desire to have the penal laws of the state faithfully administered, and so serve as a , power in the interests of justice ai.d good , order. or whether the LAWS SHALL REMAIN UNEXECUTED ; and crime Iv winked at and overlooked. ; Our penal laws are in the main good and well calculated to suppress crime and afford protection to the life of person and property • of the citizen: and not only are these per- , sonal interests sought to be protected by statutory enactment, but the peace and good order of society, the purity of society, * the guard of our children, the boys and ' girls, from pernicious publications and de- ( vices and. in short, all our social interests » are aberetl by the legislature Hut all • these laws are continually, and some of « them OPSJn.I LKD DEFIANTLY .VIOLATED. The effect of an unrebuked violation Ot ' salutary laws cannot be other than per- ' nicious and especially so upon the young. ! They are led to Un>k upon the prohibitory term of the law as without power because ' practically without penalty. They argue and logically, too. if the laws which in • terms prohibit gambling, prostitution, sell- '. ins: liquor without a license and on Sunday. J to minors, to habitual drunkards, may be openly violaUti without punishment, why not as well any aud all other laws?" 1 Alter referring to the evident increased distrust of the power and efficacy of the ; swirU in Uiiscountry" .as shown in the mi- 1 oicrous lynching*, daily • ■:■. aud can- ' turning the jury to see that indictments are not found to gratify i»er<onal animosities^ : the jndee again came to the nutter which ' was evidently uppermost in his muni, and ;ontinuhi£, said: A " You are to diligently inquire In respect ] to any violations of law of which you have ' knowletlce or which you nave food reason to believe exist. Your inquiries in' respect to public offenses are very important, even though you do not in every case to which l inquiries are directed present an Indictment] The fact that a bi*ly of business men. inter ?s,:ed in ferreting out crime ami clothed with official i*nver. are at each term of the \ Toxxrt to make dUteent Inquiry concerning the commission of offenses within the county, and are not to be limited in such j Inquiries to cases wherein arrest* have been j made, will lessen crime and MAS THE LAWLESS LESS SOLD. j In a ::ty like this where there i> an organ- ; teed i<oliiv. cr.ind juries are usually dLs- J jwscl to avoid; so far a.s possible, inquiries t in respect to lival offenses, and leave the municipal authorities to deal with them ex- i cltL-vvely. Tlie law which cats* you into i service does not reci>guue any .<adi division of legal responsibility, nor does the law or the oath which you have taken relieve yon from a eoinplete and faithful inquiry into all offenses, either known or supposed to exist, within your jurisdiction. It is an error to suppose that local vice in a large city is only of local importance, and is there fore to be dealt with by local authorities alone. The vices, the crimes, the immor alities of the large cities of this country extend their pernicious influence to every part of the country and to every commu nity and hamlet therein. "It is impossible to permit these populous "centers to become and remain impure and limit the evil effect of such condition. It has come to be un derstood, therefore, that the power of the law and the diligence and faithfulness of courts and juries in executing the laws need to be especially directed to the SUPPRESSION OF CRIME in large cities and towns, and if it some times occurs that local police authorities to whom is intrusted the administration of municipal affairs, either from the manner of their selection or from a familiarity and sometimes a clear sympathy with vice, fail to eqecute faithfully the laws for the sup pression of crime.. This fact of itself when it shall exist increases the responsi bility of bodies possessing and exercising judicial powers which are further removed from these local influences. There can be no doubt but upon diligent inquiry you would be able to find in this city open and defiant violations of law KNOWN TO THE POLICE AUTHORITIES, concerning which you have jurisdiction. The municipal authorities have a right to expect your aid and assistance in ridding the city and society of these criminal vices. There should be an earnest co-operation on the part of the officials and all law abiding citizens in effecting this end. It needs no prophetic wisdom to enable one to predict with certainty what must be the inevitable result of compromising with crime. Unless there shall be a HOSE FAITHFUL AXD EFFICIENT execution of our criminal laws, and thus a limiting of the growth of crime in this city, vice and misrule will ere long have gained the mastery. I have thus particularly called the attention of this grand jury to its re sponsible duties,' hoping that from the wis dom and discretion of the citizens who compose the jury your action may not be without good results. The statute prohibits the keeping of houses of ill- fame, keeping gambling houses, selling liquor in violation of law, selling pernicious litera ture, pictures, devices and paintings. The importance of these statutes in preserving and building up social morals, especially among the young, is great. The statute gives to the grand jury jurisdiction of these offenses, and expects you to make as faith ful inquiry in respect to the same, as in cases of murder, burglary, larceny and other felonies. The existence of these so cial vices, and the violation of these laws, which seek to protect social morals, are the very things which lead up to the commis sion of the greater offenses named, and a strict enforcement of the law in respect to these former offenses Is the surest wav to prevent the latter. IX MEIttQRIAM. Resolutions Adopted by the Ilcnne* pin County li:r r in ftespetto Judge* Bagg. At a largely attended meeting of the members Of the bar held in the district court yesterday afternoon the committee from the bar appointed by the court to pre pare resolutions upon the death of Hon. Sylvester Bagg, a member of this bbatr t re ported the following: The sudden death of lion. Sylvester Bagg has caused sincere sorrow to the bar of Ilennepin county. Although a compara tively new comer among us. Judge Bagg had already won the respect and cordial good feeling of our bur by his courteous and manly bearing and by the conscientious and faithful manner- in which he performed his professional duties in our midst. En his death we recognize the loss of a worthy comrade, amiable and upright law yer, and a man in whom our bar and com munity would soon have found a valuable and useful member. We tender our sincere sympathy to the family of our deceased brother, and assure them that their loss is shared and deeply felt by the bar of Ilennepin county. A. B. Jacksox, C. A. Bishop, 11. C. Tkuesdai.e. Eulogistic remarks were made by Judge Young, Judge Torrence, C. A. Bishop, 11. L. Stillman, A. B. Jackson, E. M. Wilson and K. C. Benton, at the conclusion of which court adjourned out of respect to the memory of the deceased. EASTSJDE WATER. The [few I>iimpiii<r Station Started up Yesterday. Promptly at - o'clock yesterday after noon the machinery in the East side pump ing station was set in motion. The colos sal pump with a daily capacity of 10,000, -000 trillions of water Mew "round and 'round, making ninety-five revolutions per minute without even a jar. The machinery is per fect. The pomp in some particulars is su perior to Jumbo (No. 5) or Jumbo No. 2 (No. 0). It is designated as East Side pump No. 7. it being the seventh in the system, and although last it is not least. On the contrary it is the greatest. It was manufactured by Strathman Bros, of this city and invented by James Waters, the chief engineer of the water board, and by many it is considered the greatest pump ex tant. Our best engineers and practical me chanics are willing to match it against pumps that cost twice the sum. It has a combination of live single acting horizontal plunger pumps arranged above, and is di rectly connected with a seventy-two-inch turbine water wheel which furnishes the motive power. The plungers are fourteen Inches in diameter and they have a twenty four-inch stroke. THE COST. The cost of the East side pumping sta tion, Including the site and the building, was SS-*>.o-29.45; the tunnel cost SI.IiV2S.SS; the price of the pump is ( .».."»ou. on which •»•".. r.:.0 has been paid. All other bills have been settled. Till. LIBRARY BOARD. !lif Initial fleeting: — .TTcniberi. 1 qualify 'Hid Officer* Klccted.

Fifth Annual Session of the Fire- Underwriters of the Northwest. '"That's a line looking body of men." The speaker was a local insurance man and made the remark as he looked in on the gathering of tire underwriters at the West hotel yesterday afternoon. It was the fifth* annual session of the Fire Underwriters' union of Wisconsin. Minnesota and Dakota, an organization the object of which is "ex plained in the name and which includes nearly every reputable insurance man in the states named. The hour fixed was 10 o'clock, but at that time quite a number had not yet arrived, and it was 2:30 before the union got under way. with Judge C. W. Potter of Milwaukee in the chair. The business transacted is purely routine and of little public interest. Reports from various com mittees were heard and the ratings of a large number of towns and villages were discussed. President Potter made his an nual report, which will be printed. At 5:80 the union adjourned until to-day, when the election will occur and the session end. Among those present were the fol lowing insurance men: Wisconsin C. W. Potter. Milwaukee; E. V. Munn, Beloit: C. E. Norbeck, La Cros.se; J. H. Warner, George G. Williams, Milwaukee; T. W.

BAD BOYS Were They Who Appeared in Judge Bailey's Bailiwick. There were seven arraignments before his honor of the municipal court yesterday for too much familiarity with the properties of John Barleycorn. Six of the unhappy boys with swollen heads paid a fine of 35 each while the seventh got off with a sus pended sentence. Hans C. Erickson was charged with bas tardy at the instance of Mary Olson. He looked guilty, but may possibly be inno cent, lie waived an examination and was held to await the action of the grand jury. William Orr, a discharged clerk of the West hotel, paid a fine of 35 for disorderly conduct. lie had a little unpleasantness with Detective Hoy at the hotel. F. L. Scherer appeared before the court to answer the charge of keeping his saloon open on Sunday. He wanted a jury trial and the case was set for April 27. CURRENT COMMENT. Superintendent Henion of the water works department, has in his office a relia ble diagram showing the exact water pres sure during the year ending March 1. The record is taken by an ingenious mechanical device kept at the central pump station. Mr. Heniou also has another register in the superintendent's office. The record for Christmas day is a curiosity. It shows the pressure during the Academy of Music fire, and the tracings are zig-zag, indicating that the procure was exceedingly irregular, al though the mean pressure was quite satis factory. The irregularity was owing to the burst in a water main, and to the vast amount of water thrown on the fire. The diagram even gives the hours of the day as well as the days of the mouth. *♦* The superintendent's office is being sup plied with a fire alarm gong. * • * It is not very generally known that the city owns an artesian well, but it is true nevertheless. A number of years ago the j paper mill company on the island sunk a pipe ISO feet and from that pipe a volume of water Bows to the amount of two barrels per minute. The water is absolutely pure, ix'iiiiT free from lime or alkali. The pres sure is sufficient to throw a powerful stream to the roof of the East side pumping station, in which the well is located. It has been suggested that a larger pipe be substituted for the one used at present, and that the East siilers be supplied with pure drinking water, and the plan appears quite feasible. * * W. W. Eastman, after examining the ar- ■ tmhm well yesterday, remarked that he should sink one on Nicollet Island to supply : his tenement fiats this Beam. Undoubt edly it will be a success. *♦♦ The sixteen-inch water pipe which has alone supplied the East side with water un til yesterday will not be removed until the new bridge is built. Then another pipe will be laid. V All is not serene with the council com mittee on salaries of city officers. A wide diversity of opinion prevails respecting what the city attorney should receive in the future. They van from SI,SOO (the pres ent amount) to SO. 000 per annum, and there seems to be little likelihood of the members of the committee arriving at any thin? like a compromise. It is" held by some that the Si. Boo Ls more than the of ficer is actually worth to the city, while those a favor of the maximum named argue that this city cannot afford to pay a small salary to anyone who occupies such an im portant office. To this the others assent, yet they urge that the present incumbent is not worth the amount his friend and ad mirer stipulates as a just and equitable sal- j ary. The result is that at least two reports will be submitted at the meeting to be held on Friday evening, and perhaps a third re port. There is music in the air. * * • The license committee also finds it diffi cult to arrive at specific amounts. There j will be a majority and a minority report, and the fish: will be taken up in the coun cil. - # .* Although Mayor Pillsbury is non-com- i initial as to details, or minutiae, sufficient information has been ascertained to warrant the prediction that he will make very few char.ires in the police department this year. As a whole he is pleased with the force, vet lie realizes that there are some members who are nnfit for the position. These lack courage, patience and persistency, are pug nacious, and disposed to beat and ill-treat prisoners who indulge in insulting language to them when effecting an arrest. ■■■ The mayor believes an officer should expect to be saluted with harsh language from pris oners, and that the officer should never re sent it. He will instruct the force to never use force in excess of what is absolute! v necessary to make an arrest, to never ill treat a prisoner in any manner, and further more never to make an arrest unless it is necessary to preserve the peace or dignity of the city and to protect citizens from violence. That is, if anyone is too noisy on the streets he should be cautioned and not arrested. If he is the worse for intox icants and unable to take care of himself he should be taken home, if the officer can find out where he resides. *** The above is practically the charge made by ex-Mayor Ames to the police force* two years ago. *** Judge Young's charge to the grand jury will be read with interest. It is evidence in itself that his honor knows a thing or two outside of the walls of the court house and the covers of law books. The grand jury will now go to work as an investigat ing committee, while fear and trembling will be the guests of many questionable citizens until the inquisition is over. ' *** A prominent citizen with known liber ality and love of music remarked yesterday: "I do hope some means will be employed to prevent speculation in Thomas' festival tickets. I was in Chicago last week and heard Patti, but it cost me S8 to do it. The whole affair was in the hands of speculators from the very opening of the sale and it was simply shameful." THE COURTS.

"Our Bachelors" at the Grand opera house last evening drew a large and fash ionable audience. Robson & Crane are too well known here to need any encomium, and it is sufficient to say that they never were funnier than in this little comedy sketch, which is so well adapted to their particular line of business. The company sustained the minor parts very crediiibly. This evening 'Champagne and Oysters" will be given for the first tune in this city, preceded by a comedietta entitled "Uncle's Will." There will be no matinee and this closes the engagement. Gus Williams' "Capt. Mishler" holds the* boards for the remainder of the week. MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. A well-attended social was given at Good Templars' hall last evening. The board of water commissioners will meet at 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon.

Schemes by Which Pretty Female Confidence Operators Bleed Their Victims. '■ New York Cor. of the Troy Times. Among the persons who leaned over the ice-box in the Pearl street undertaking estab lishment, not long since, in which lay the body of Lyman D. Minor, the Broadway merchant who committed suicide, was a wo man of scarcely 23 years of age. She was soberly dressed, and when she raised her veil a modest little face and a pair of ' jet black eyes twinkling beneath black eyelashes were seen. With her kid-gloved hand she smoothed back the hair from the ugly bullet wound in the temple of the dead man, and when she was leaving left a bunch of lilies on the box. She came and went as unostentatiously as a sister of charity. This woman was Annie Greenville, who, in connection with Pliny White, the king of confidence men, was the unseen power that drove the merchant to his grave. Seret. Frink of the Central police office said Annie Greenville had a heart of iron and was a tool in the hands of White. White would never leave a man while there was a dollar in him. He was heartless,treach erous and cruel. * It is perhaps an ungallant thing to say,but in New York and large cities generally beauty and blackmail have come to be associated to such an extent that the only safeguard for a susceptible person is to steer clear of good looking strangers altogether. This blackmail is a trade that can only be plied successfully in the great populous cities, there the possibilities of detection are re duced to a mere nothing. It takes an adroit rogue to be a first-class swindler, hence women, who have more tact than men, are always chosen to do the fine work of en rapping the victim. Once in the toils the plucking is done by the male confederates and is usually an easy and safe process. Their methods are many, curious, and novel. The latest and most novel is one recently come to light. A beautiful and accomplished girl sought employment in a down-town business estab lishment run by a father and son. She man aged to entangle both, and get up an escapade with the youuK man which cost him a very tidy little sum before the end was reached, lie" wrote her affectionate letters, made short excursions around and had a lovely time generally, until one line morning an elderly ruffian stepped up, claiming to be her father. The idiot was only too glad to disgorge liber ally on the spot. Then the ex-charmer threat ened to sue for the recovery of her letters and a balance due on some furniture; to avoid a scandal he paid up handsomely. Finally, fearing be was to be bled to death by these j vampires, be appealed to the police. A sin gle visit with a promise of arrest sufficed to settle the whole business. A neat trick is for a pretty blackmailer to enter the store where there are a great many clerks. Once in the store, she plies all her feminine arts on the chosen victim (one who holds a pretty gx>d position, and whose cir cumstances she has learned something about) and, engaging him in conversation, lets slip some stray remark, which she emphasizes with her eyes. If he smiles and retorts in the same vein, a point has been gained. After that the conquest is not difficult. A visit or two, a matinee, an opera night, and then some fine day my lady sail.- into the store like I a Spanish pirate bent on plunder. A hurried | talk; the man looks glum, but hands the j money the ensnarer has demanded. After that she rends him regularly, only at shorter and shorter intervals, until something "goes bust," as the saying is. F.itber she gets in jail or a big scandal breaks out, or possibly he defies her: but as a rule he hasn't the pluck to do that, and in many cases the pay process goes on for years. A well-known editor of much brilliancy and sagacity on the metropolitan press w.as badly done "for some time ago by a pretty lit tle widow. She first called on him. and her woful tale,backed by her girlish face, enlisted his sympathies in her cause. Then came re quests for theater and concert tickets and other courtesies, in the compliance of which he Generally sent a gallantly worded note. On the strength of these letters and a con federate It cost him $1,000 inside of three months. He was too sensitive to public opinion to hand her over to the police, and bad not a friend of his stepped in ami grap pled matters with an iron band he probably would have been a victim to-day of either her greed or lies. Here is another case: A Broadway mer chant who makes a specialty of silks and satins has a dark room titled up in his store where he can show the effect of gaslight upon his (roods. One day he escorted a lady to this room to show a fine piece of satin under the gas jet. Hardly had ;he door shut upon them than she tore oil her bonnet and sacqae anil flinging her arms about bis neck shrieked at the top of her . voice. The clerks rushed in and saw the boss etrogzHug with a beauti ful lady whose clothes were half torn off her back. Here was a pretty kettle of fish. It cost $500 to hush the matter up, but he re fuses to enter that room with a lady unless accompanied by a cash boy sow. There is do limit to the resources of the business, and, like Mulberry Sellers' eye water, "there's millions in it." They have been known to Invade a private wedding and come off - iuccessful. Women invariably are the principal*. ..Men suspect men aJways.but they are consummate fools enouzb never to suspect a handsome woman. The glamor of her tace. the witchery of her eyes, and the soft ripple of her tongue is too much for their I senses, and their suspicion is lulled no til too late to be of any value. One meets these women ereTTwhtre — the theater, oo the cars, in the street. The summer boarding booses and seaside resorts are favorite stamp ing grounds for them. Saratoga is fail of them in season, and sot long since I knew j of one who entertained two clergymen — one a bishop in the Episcopal — with their wives at a cozy dinner. Of coarse the guests had no idea of tee true character of the "cbarniinsr" bosie*s, and perhaps some day, irncn I write op her brilliant but checkered career, tbf y will rob their dear old ecclesias- r tical optics. There seems to be Ri*-: trouble in the Can adian Northwest. I THE SPECTRAL. JDK Kit. Hunters Vainly Snooting: at a Fleet Creature With Blazing Eyes. Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. The Singular occurrence stated below is given by a Baptist minister now serving In the Indian Nation, as a strictly authentic ghost story. He says: A few nights ago Mr. •J. W. : Huier and Sanders Boiling of South Canadian were out fire-hunting. They saw about fifty • yards from them what they supposed to be a deer's eyes. Mr. Huler drew up his gun to shoot. About the time he got on range of the sup posed deer his gun went off accidentally, when the deer's eyes brightened up and made as much light as a headlight on an engine and began to move off in a southerly direction . He could see the light plainly for two and a half miles. It seemed to move at the rate of sixty miles an hour and to fly through the air. He could see the tree-tops plainly, and saw a turkey roosting in a tree near him. which he shot and killed. The turkey was yellow, something very uncom mon for the wild bird. Three days later Mr. William Chism saw in daylight what he supposed to be a deer, near where Mr. Huier saw his fiery deer. Mr. Chism had a Winchester rifle and fired at the deer. To his surprise it began to light up as before. He tired eight or nine shots at it. He says that it looked like a brush pile on fire, moved off rapidly and made a whistling noise as it went. Mr. Charles Pettit, a prominent merchant and Adams express agent of this place, went up to turn out of his lot a pony he had been riding that day about an hour after dark. In the lot be saw what he supposed to be a deer. He returned to his store, got his gun, came back to the lot, fired at the supposed deer, aud, to his surprise, he shot bis pony and killed it. He says when he fired at the deer be could see his pony in an opposite direc tion to the deer in the corner of the lot. This seems to be a ehost story, but every word of it is true. Messrs. Huier, Boiling, Pettit and Chism are all responsible, and say they will go before any justice and take ap oath that they saw this strange deer. GIRLS WHO GUSH AND GIGGLE.
