The war between the Times parrot find the Tribune monkey is about over, ami each agrees that "we've had a h— l of a time." Dr. Kilv'ngton was forty-five years old yesterday, and most appropriately a party of friends called to congratulate him. "What game shall we play, Doe? one of them asked as they gathered around a card table. "Why, Forty-Five, of course," re sponded the doctor. "Yon fellows doivt think 1 want to play Twenty-One atniy advanced age, do you?" Tho show bill printer is not usually a poet, but he certainly, in his treatment of men and things, enjoys the license which is supposed to be , the exclusive property of the wooer of the muses. As an example of overworked poetic license, take i he big posters which reveal to the vulgar throng the , exciting scenes of the thrilling war drama now being pre sented at a local theater. Ou the gaily decorated billboards a supposed daughter of the South, in a crimson dress, is saving a fallen Union officer from the fury of the Confederates. An Irish captain' and a Dutch lieutenant in the federal uniform are rushing to the rescue, while a fac-simile of the tradi tional Uncle Tom, with bared head, Prince Albert ex.at and patent-leather boots, is at the head of a band of slaves armed with pitchforks, bowie-knives and convict shirts, evidently bent on the same errand as the European feder alists. All this is represented as oc curring between the fiercely fighting Union and Confederate lines. Secre tary W. D. Hale saw the above-de scribed picture and ejaculated: "Bosh I I was ail through the war and nothing like that over occurred. What bosh!" The hotelkeepers of Minnesota are to meet to-day to consider matters of mu tual interest and solve a few riddles, the chief of which is to find out why it is cheaper to get out of Minnesota in winter than it is to come here in sum mer. iYJ:^: "Music in attendance" is a line used In the announcement that C.

What a pity it is that the physician found a stomach pump to use on the Iron manufacturer who took laudanum. Kilvington does not relish Contractor Reed's suggestion. The hustling health officer prefers even being worsted in crematory tights to tending door for such an institution. There Is a lull in the newspaper war. Gelatt has crawled into his ice house, Bleihen has shoved his knife down into his boot, and all is serene again for a lit tle while. _ Now that the Dakota lottery bill has been shelved, the evening papers will again tell how "genial Tom Lowry smiled winningly" and how "the base ball magnates are happy." There are times when ft Is a good thing to have been an acrobat or an ath lete student in one's youth, and it may have occurred so to him as be ran pant ing along Third street and yelled in a tog-horn voice at the motor that had 3 list started and was about to climu the hill. He was making fair speed, and might have succeeded in catching it had not a bonneted damsel rushed in front of him with a War Cry held aloft and begged him to purchase. Only a moment did he paused, and brushing her aside, he rushed on ana yelled frantically after the now disappearing train; and the conductor, who was flirting with a young lady in a window of the post office, saw him not, and he followed the train up the street for nearly two blocks and almost caught it as it got to the top of the hill; but it gave a sudden start aim left him alone in the middle of the street, while the polite conductor wafted a kiss to the aforesaid young lady and the would-be passenger* tried to stamp a hole in the pavement in the excess of his wrath. Sometimes a man gets what he pays for and sometimes he don't. The mad dest man in seven states last night, was one who lives on Fifth ana Washington avenues south. When he got home he found that the water department had turned off his supply of aqua pura just because the fellow next door hadn't paid his water rent. There was only one pipe, and to turn off the water from one house necessitates turning it off from both. Now the fellow who paid for the water he didn't get is going to sue Registrar Moody and the city for heavy damages if his water isn't turned on at once. In the meantime, his neighbor who is the cause of all the trouble, is taking things easy. Building Inspector Haze n Is going to buy a machine for testing the strength of building materials. If he can discover a machine which will su persede the telephone for testing a man's patience when he is in a hurry he will not find a ready market for it in Minneapolis. The Minneapolis base ball club has secured all the choice dates in the schedule. Now the managers will make a big hustle to increase the size of their Chicago bank accounts. It has just dawned upon the minds of come people that when the police com mission made a sweeping reduction of *5 from the monthly salaries of the po licemen tho ciiy was not benefited. Two new detectives at 695 per month each, and a court interpreter whose services will probably not be required more than once in a year, more than eat up the amount supposed to have been saved. This is the kind of retrench ment that the people of Minneapolis nre accustomed to have thrust upon them by the only retrenchment and re form administration in the business. Long & Roes, the architects of the Kasota block, explain tr.e crack in the front of that building is due to the ex pansion of about fifty tons of steel in n vault which was recently placed in position. Judge Emery denies that he has changed the rule in regard to the men and women who are brought before him on the charge of illegally occupying the Ban.c apartments.

Building Trades Will Make a Determined Fight for Eight Hours. A. J. Blethen Will Not Com promise on the City Printing. Rev. Sample Expounds the Single Tax Theory to a Great Orowd. Judge Emery Imposes the Usual Penalties on the Prostitutes. It Js more than likely that May 1 will see a most determined effort made in Minneapolis, on the part of building trades especially, to establish eight honrs as a day's work. Three years ago a half-hearted attempt was made by labor organizations, and, although the carpenters struck, and were encouraged to a greater or less extent by other trade organizations.nothing was accomplished besides causing a vexatious delay to con tractors, and considerable privation to the men who voluntarily deprived themselves from employment. Or ganized labor, however, as the result of this start, gained quite a victory, the strength of which they did not appreci ate at the time. Through the Demo cratic council the workingmen had the eight-hour day system established in city work, and furthermore obtained the passage of an ordinance which gave the day's work the preference over the the contract system. The city was thus made to set an example which it was intended should be followed in all de partments of skilled labor as soon as possible. This much gained, the work ing men either through carelessness or indifference allowed themselves to be drawn away from the Democrats, and at the polls last election neither sup ported the party nor the men who had befriended then;. As a result, the Republicans carried almost their entire city ticket, and put in men as aldermen who quickly rescinded the eight-hour law, although the day's work system has oeeu practically al lowed to stand. The labor organizations, since they received their back-set, have been de termined not only to regain lost ground, but to take a very decisive step for ward. This time they have gone to work systematically, and contractors and others who employ building trades will rind they must this time do battle with an organized army listeadof scattered detachment. The c srht-hour league has been formed, and lias been steadily growing to stalwart proportions. Besides taking in mem bers from the various trades, It has been raiding funds in anticipation of the support that will be needed for the movement when the time comes. The 22d of this month there is to be a mass meeting under the auspices of the league, to be followed by weekly open meetings, at which the desirability of curtailing the day of labor, and making It uniformly eight hours, will be dis cussed, and the agitation in this and other ways will be continued. Further still, many of the Minneapolis building trades have affiliated with the Amer ican Federation of Labor, which is now estimated to have a membership of 730,000, and has raised by assessment over 11,000,000 to be expended in sup porting those wno are compelled to strike. The work of organizing among the building trades, too, has been pushed very energetically. The Stonecutters' union boasts that every good workman in the city can be found in its ranks. This union is the strongest in the city, and has already secured the coveted concession. The stonemasons have the large majority of the craft in their union. The plasterers claim to have 300 men in their organization, and, if this is true, there are very few non-union men in the city. The plumbers are very strong, while the painters have recently reorganized and claim they will be as strong as the others when the time comes. The car-* 1 penters are the weakest, as usual, but extraordinary efforts will be put forth this time to have them as thoroughly or ganized as is possible, and to back them up. «B| The demand will not be made that ten hours' pay shall be given for eiitht hours work. The men will con sent to be paid by the hour at the same wages they have been receiving and will at first only in sist upon not working over eight hours, although a raise of wages is, doubtless, to be contended for ultimately. Stone cutters are at present getting 50 cents an hour, and are working eight hours. Stonemasons are making from $2.75 to $3.25 a day, and are working nine hours generally. Bricklayers are getting 40 cents an hour; plumbers. 30 to 40 cents; painters, 30 to 40 cents, and are working nine hours. The carpenters and plaster ers are working ten hours, the former receiving from $2 to 12.75 and the latter $3.75 as the rule. WILL NOT COMPROMISE. A, J. Blethen Will Stiok Up for His Rights. A. J. Blethen says he will not accept City Attorney Russell's "compromise" for the city printing. Mr. Blethen claimed that he was simply the trustee of the city, without pay, and as such had the custody of the printed copies of the proceedings of the council which were destroyed in the Tribune fire. City Attorney Russell, however, decided that Mr. Blethen's contract called for a certain number of bound copies of the proceedings, and that he will have to furnish them, but he suggested to the committee on printing that, inasmuch as it would cost about $1,200 to reproduce the work destroyed, the city might "compromise, and allow Mr. Blethen $300 for the work. Now, Mr. Blethen says that -he is either responsible for tho entire loss or not any. He emphat ically declares that he is not asking charity at the hands of the city attor ney or the city council, and he says he will not accept the money, but that he will go ahead and do the work over again. When the fact is known that the work had already been delivered and the city had paid for it, but the sheets were left in the vaults in the Tribune building by the city clerk as a matter of convenience, the stand taken by Mr. Blethen when the compromise was proposed will strike most men as both manly and .- business-like. In support ot the stand he has taken Mr. Blethen asserts that when the late Sclah Matthews was the city clerk the Tribune did the city printing. Mr. Matthews had the sheets taken as fast as they were printed and paid for to the city hall and placed in the vaults. City Clerk Ilaney. like most people, sup posed the Tribune building to be per fectly safe and as a matter of conveni ence" had the sheets stored there, but Mr. Bleihen had presented his bill and received his money before the fire. REV. SAMPLE TALKS. He Expounds the Single Tax The ory to a Large Audience. Rev. 6. W. Sample, of the All Souls' church, addressed a large and enthusi astic meeting of the single-tax theorists at the West hotel last evenin g. chosing for his theme: "The Moral Aspect o the Single Tax Theory." During the course of his remarks he said that cap ital and the capitalists were not antag onistic to labor; but it was the monopoly and the monopolist which caused the occasional want and made tho laboring man at times THE SAINT PAUL DAILY G^OSfe "^ WEDNESDAY MOKfflffGr, FEB&TTA&Y 12; 1890. antagonistic to all capital. He looked upon the single fax Idea as the only cor rect way of raising money by taxation, but at the same time he did not wish to be uiiftersTood a« representing any po fiticai party, or any one set of men. He simply represented himself and Ms own convictions, which, after cTnisldewible study, he was able to prove, to the satis faction of himself, were right, fie looked upon the single tax as a panacea for almost all the evils of tho day, and asserted that if all tho ideals coukl be materialized the millenlum would be just around the corner. The single tax was the first step in the right direction of reform, and while changes had to be made in the present system of taxation there was but one way to bring them about. The first was by education, and after the people had been educated, the necessary legisla tion wouid naturally follow. He was of the opinion that *f the single tax was adopted in Minnesota the people would be better both morally, socially and financially. THEY VtOLiATKD THE LAW, And JndLse Emery Imposed the Usual Penalties. The system of illegally licensing the houses of prostitution which was in augurated some time ago by the present God-like retrenchment and reform Re publican administration has not yet been abandoned, although the ministers have preached against it, and fair minded men and cranks have joined hands in condemning a system which Is not only illegal, but which has brought odium upon the fair name of Minneapolis. \ esterday the regular monthly install ment of the license was due.and Minnie O'Dell paid a "tine" of $00; Bertie Berts, $75; Hattie Brush, $75; Josie Emerson, m, and Nettie Connolly, $75, for the privilege of carrying on their business without police interference for the next thirty days. William Bock, the young man who was shot by Will iam Bosse in North Minneapolis on New Year's night, was one of the trio who were arrested by Sergeant Norman and Officers Smith and Yost at Shingle creek on Monday night for Hie alleged larceny of two tons of iron bridge bolte and stays which belonged to the Soo" road. For some reason the police kept the fact that Bock was the "other man" a secret, and they informed the report ers that Albert Ryan and William Bowen had stolen the iron, and that the "other man" didn't have anything to do with i it, but was simply sent; by his employer, who was said to be a livery man on Twenty-third avenue north, to get the sleigh when the other two had abandoued it at Shingle creek. When Bock was shot it was claimed that he was a very exemplary young man, and the police tried to discredit the story told by Bosse that he had been robbed by Bock and thai Bock was about to assault him with a slingshot when he tired the shot in self-defense. The three defendants were arraigned on the charge of grand larceny aud their examination was set for this afternoon. Frank Delany was be fore thecourton the charge of vagrancy. Frank is a poor specimen of the Sioux tribe who has several times been em ployed at the city rockpile. He is the son of the woman who is known as "Indian Kennedy," who is now serving a term at Shingle creek. Frank was sent up for sixty days, and advised to keep away from Minneapolis when he gets out. The case of Mary Laing. of 107 First avenue south, who is charged with keeping a house of ill fame, was called up for trial yesterday, and after part of the testimony had been beard it was continued until to-morrow. FATHfdli AND SON. Their Tribulations Aired In Judge I/Ochreirs Court. William Myers.a gray-haired Milesian, appeared in Judge Lochren's court yes terday as plaintiff in a suit against his son, William Myers Jr., and his son's wife. In 1884 the old gentleman deeded a house and lot in East Minneapolis to the son. Part of the agreement was that the old man should be supported by young William. He now alleges that his son has failed to provide suffi cient food for him and his blind daugh ter, and that he has frequently been ill treated by the same son. For these rea sons he asks that the deed be vacated and that he be declared the owner of the property. Young William admits the transfer of the property and the conditions attach ing thereto, but denies all the other accusations made by his aged father. He asserts that the old gentleman pos sesses a vicious and quarrelsome dis position, and furthermore is wont to dally with the flowing bowl more than is conducive to sobriety, temperance and geniality. He says that William, Sr., was accustomed to abuse the mother of the defendant and all other members of the family. On the stand, he related that once the old man came home, not intoxicated, but fairly well illuminated from the use of firewater, and that, after calling his son's domicile a place of ill-repute, he damanded in a loud, trenchant voice, why the afore said sou did not put him out. When the son stated that no one wanted to put him out, the old man vigorously as serted that he wanted to be put out. William, Jr., further alleges that his two brothers, who have slothful and in temperate habits, while be himself has always been sober and industrious, have been quartered upon him much against his will through the influence of the old man. The case was not finished. During the recital of the foregoing testimony, the plaintiff rubbed his partially bald head, and occasionally i gave vent to sounds which seemed to indicate that the son's disclosure of a father's little foibles in the presence of strangers was not his Idea ot filial duty. "LE HENONCEMfiNT." A Remarkable Painting From France Now in This City. . We chronicle to-day the arrival of a famous work of art. It is now on ex hibition at D. Goodman & Co.'s, 255 Second avenue south. When it was ex hibited in New York some months ago, just after its* arrival from Paris, the New York Graphic said of it: "The temptation of man by woman has always been a favorable subject with the artists of the world. The charms of women are so all-powerful that it has been conceded for all ages that man can face nothing more se ductive than the batteries of her lips and eyes and the embrace of her yielding arms. This thought forms the subject of a remarkable French work of art now on private exhibition in this city. It is nothing more nor less than a superb scene in which a priest, out of the phantasmagoria of his vis ions and dreams, sees rising before his astonished sight a woman with ten der, pleading face, eyes that melt to love and lips hungering for kisses. Soft arms beckon to him and bid him yield to present happiness. Like nearly all of the modern classical French paint ings, in the treatment of the female form it is unsurpassable. Woman never received greater tribute than she does to-day from the brush of French artists, and 4 Le Jteuoncement' is a remarkable instance in proof of It." ANOTHER FOR MINNEAPOLIS. A Large Wooden Ware Factory to be Built, S. J. Bousfield, a manufacturer of wooden ware, who has extensive works in Cleveland, 0., and Bay City, Mich., has made all the preliminary arange ments for establishing factory in Min neapolis. The site has been purchased on Marshall avenue, near Twenty-ninth avenue northeast, and the plans for a large brick factory are well on toward completion. The plans are for a struc ture 64x200 feet, two stories ■ high and practically fireproof. The - new venture will employ in the neighbor hood of 800 men from the start, and the capacity will be increased as fast as the business warrants it. In addition to the factory it is the intention of the manu facturer to run his own saw mill, which , will be huffish the river, and in which the rough lumber 1 will be fnniedont for use in the factory; The cost of the building and machin ery will exceed $10,000, but this is only a starter for tlje amount of ni«i???-to bo ejtjKQdsi m It is Mi: Boii3field's"inteh-" tion to build homes' about the factory for the accommodation of the workmen, and . this will : necessitate the outlay of many more thousands of dollars. Th« new concern has come to Minne apolis of its own accord, selecting its site from among many cities, as the best field for manufactures of its kind. No aid was asked from the City in tho way of bonds, and tho land was pur chased outright, with no hint as to the use it was to be put to. It is hoped thai the goods turned out by the new factory will be used enteusively in the North west, and Mr. Bousfield even expects to ship to Chicago and the South, as he is certain that from the advantages given by Minneapolis, he can be able to fur nish the goods at a price and quality to compete with the goods of any factory, of its kind in the country. TttEIR N«SW. ORGAN. Tbe Inaugural Concert at the Park Avenue Congregational. The inaugural concert at the Park Avenue Congregational church last evening was as much of a success as even the most interested parties could have desired. The large organ, but re cently completed, gave forth stirring nwlody under the skillful touch of Fred eric Archer, and the congregation have cause' to feel proud over the acqui sition of their elegant musical instru ment. Mr. Archer is a brilliant mu sician, and knows how to bring out the slightest notes with a clearness that shows his familiarity with the instrument In the solo which he had himself im provised from popular hymn tunes, he was especially appreciated, probably from the fact that the audience was more familiar with them than with Wagner's overture to Tannhauser, which he played with grand expression. Miss Nettie Dunn's solo, "With Ver dure Clad," was given in a pleasing manner, and her duet, "Graceful Con ceit," with G. W. Ferguson, was well received. Miss Archer's recitation, "The Legend of the Or_an Builder," was appropriate to the occasion and was well rendered. The second con cert occurs this evening with a more elaborate and entire change of. pro gramme. ; .-". •; KKVMWKIIIK WINS. Mrs. Lena Leppla Is Dented Dam ages. * Sergt. Krumweide has won his case, or kept Lena Lepplafrom winning hers, which amounts to the same thing, and now considers himself, in a measure, indorsed. The jury did not reach an agreement until 11 o'clock Monday night, and when that verdict was opened yesterday morning it was declared that, in the eyes of the jury, Henry Kruru weide did not commit an assault on Lena Leppla. That case is ended, but not so the other cases, or possible cases, which are connected with it. Frequent reference has been made to the two women who were captured in Lena's house. Their names are not known to many, put it is probable that they will soon become known through the medium of the di vorce courts. Yesterday a St. Paul business man approached Krumweide and Officer Gustafson with a photo graph, which they recognized as that of one of the two gay females who con tributed to the loy "of Mine. Leppla's house on the 7th of June last, and inci dentally to madame's purse. The orig inal of the picture was Mr. St. Paul's wife. A larger woman who was with her on that tateful night, answered the description of the erring wife's side partner. Several Minneapolis us of jealous proclivities will feel better when the proceedings in these divorce cases are published. The divorce cases are almost certain to be begun soon.

The guests at the Holmes hotel en joyed the last of their winter series of dances last evening. Many of the former boarders have gone South, and the event was not so largely attended , as the previous ones of the same charac- 1 ter have been, but the room was just well enough filled to make the numbers enjoyable, as there was nothing in the nature of a crush to spoil the pleasure for those who attend such affairs for the 1 sake of the dance. Danz's orchestra furnished the music, and that aione would have made the evening a pleas- ; ant one. Many promenaded through 1 , the halls that did not care to dance and listened to the music. . '£**■ The Park Board. 7-«=_=i£ The board of park commissioners met yesterday to receive the report of the special committee on Todd's Pond park. The committee presented a resolution 1 ' which was adopted abandoning ail pro ceedings in the matter. This settles the park scheme at Todd'* pond for tue present. The McNair estate offered to sell thirty acres of ground at Sixteentn and Humboldt avenues for $4,000, and their proposition as well ac one for a triangular park at Fifth street and Eleventh avenue north, was referred to the committee on designation of grounds. That Real Estate Convention. Through some misunderstanding In the hour set for the meeting there were only a few present at the hour appoint ed for the convention of the Minneapo lis real estate dealers. Some had ; un derstood that the meeting was to be held at 10 o'clock in the morning, and when they arrived at the room there, was do oue to tell them where it wu to meot, consequently they departed and did not appear in the afternoon.' The meeting will probably be held this aft ernoon at 2 o'clock. - - - I MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. *>&nlt clearings yesterday were $685, --_ Three minor building permits, agregatlng 5370. were issued yesterday. .

This wonderful preparation once saved my life. I had a constant cough, night sweats, was greatly reduced in flesh, and given up by my physician. One bottle and a naif of the Pectoral cured me." — A.

The doctors said I was in consumption, and that they could do nothing for me, but advised me, as a last resort, to try Aycrs Cherry Pectoral. After taking this medicine two or three months I was cured; and my health remains good to the present — James Birchard, Darien, Conn. : : . 11 Several years ago, on a passage home from California; by water,. I contracted so severe a cold that for some days I was confined to my state-room, and a physician on board considered my life; in danger.
