MINNEAPOLIS, - ! -- • ~7~~ ■--• .-'■■'■ ■ . ■: Additional City News on Page 5 - NOTE AND COMMENT. Small matters ten call for talk - Where larger oises are quite forgot, And Krent expenses are passed by ' Without a murmur or a thought. ■ The city loses thousands by '1 he building of a place to Durn The garb-aye, and no one Has made a kick to try and learn The reason fot ..o much dead loss; . _ But now they've found • - A chance to Kick at Potter, and At butter at so mucb per pound. The next thing to bo card will be A repetition of the scene When some committee man will claim It was oleomargarine. Those aldermen wno threw up their hands because a bill for butter at 25 cents came from an alderman s commission house, when it could nave been purchased elsewhere for 18 cents, should not blame any one in particular if the general rule of reform and re trenchment of this administration should be applied to the small expenses of running the city as well as the large. It should be remembered that at the first committee meeting after the council organized, a bill for butter at the workhouse came in, and Aid. Sterling hinted rather sententiously that Supt. West should remember that Aid. Potter sold butter as well as other people. The superintendent took the hint, probably, and bought his butter from. Aid. Potter. He could hardly be blamed for that. And if Aid. Potter values his butter at 25 cents, who can say he should not put his price on his own properly? And, by tne way, aren't the aldermen struggling rather hard to keep up retrenchment and reform appearances when they drop from steel arch bridges to batter? The local story-teller is now hunting places of seclusion, for H. C. Baruabee is now seen at a point of vantage in the hotel corridors, and will hold the floor for the balance of his stay. It must be a discouraging fact to the members of the Woman's Christian as sociation that out of the two converts they have made to the cause of Chris tianity during the past year.loo per cent of them died directly atterward. ■When M. Durand begins to manu facture coal at $1.40 per ton, the oppo nents of the Meeker island scheme will have" a chance' to crow over their more numerous adversaries. And now it is reported that pickpock ets are getting in their work at the li brary building. It is probnole that the Society of Fine Arts will refuse to asso ciate with such gentry, and will move their quarters to a place where common people can not enter. The semis sucker is a class of man kind peculiar to itself, and it is a won der that there is not an asylum endowed for the especial benefit of its votaries. The one that purchased a watch from a snap auction house yesterday for $14. sold it for $ 1 and then repaired to the police f r satisfaction, should be placed in a glass case and ranged on exhibition among the other curiosities in the dime museum. The People's Political Reform club is announced to be non-sectarian and non partisan, and still Golightly Morrill heads the list of speokers at its first open meeting. And besides, one R. G. Evans re turned from Washington yesterday and professes to be happy (not jolly) because he thinks Minneapolis is going to get the National Republican con vention, as "Minnesota congressmen have nobly supported Chicago's claims for the world's fair." Another evi dence that Minnesota has representa tives at Washington. The chances are that Minneapolis is to be made a aubport of entry at last, and a few more offices are to be pro vided. Wasnburn and Comstock called on the president and asked when the Chippewa Indian reservation will be opened. The president appeared to be in good health, but said he didn't know anything about it. Snider says after mature deliberation that sugar should be put upon the free list. This will be an inestimable benelit to the country, he thinks, and should be haz arded even if it makes Kansas a Dem ocratic state. Who says that the Minne sota delegation is not making itself felt at the national capital? What a nice lot of government and state officials we must have. A house with a shady name is never "pulled" by tin* police without one of these officials j escapes. Here is a subject for the Peo ple's Political Reform club. Again the Minneapolis and St. Paul street railway lines have been sold, and Henry Villard is the alleged purchaser. Yillard is developing %s a strong oppo sition to Tom Lowry's "universal con nection with every deal of any magni tude. Aid. Potter has made a mistake. He has sold all of his butter instead of profitably employing it as a lubricating agent on the wheels of municipal gov ernment. City Attorney Hall is this week giv ing Benny Harrison pointers on how to run a government, gathered by long ex perience in prosecuting vags and "red hot" venders. • After the explanation of the cause of Dr. Lorituer's actions in Holyoke,Mass., no more Minneapolis wives will be told that their husbands have been out with the boys. "Overdose o' quinine, m' dear," will be the invariable answer. Edmund Russell, Delsartean though lie be, believes that the illustrating of the poetry of motion is not a pleasant occupation unless accompanied by the poetry of money. : ; - " Chicago's blowing powers, as evinced by the papers of that town since the set tlement of the world's fair location, leads many to suppose that several Min neapolis real estate dealers have gone to the home of the divorce court. One man has been heard to remark that this open mass meeting scheme, being worked by the People's Political Reform club, is a farce, and his friends are now thinking of running him for alderman he, is so Keen of perception. A. 0.. Blethen has finally resolved to become mayor of Minneapolis, so that, if the 1892 Republican convention should by any chance come here, he could take the delegates up on the Lumber Ex change and say: "There is MY city." Mayor Babb is right. Maj. Norton is not paid too much for his work. It is the most severe kind of mental labor to •write speeches in words of only one syllable. ■ The two stalwart policemen who have lingered near the stage entrance to the Grand this week were not placed there to keep the chappies away, but to pre vent Kohl & Miadleton from stealing the chorus girls for a beauty show or a gum-chewing contest. Burglars who would steal from "Blind John" would abstract the gold from the teeth of their dead parents and soil it lor cigars. Cooking Electricity Carpenter should turn on his inventive skill and devise come automatic machine that will in dicate the point in a Journal editorial column joke. The Indies of St. Peter's A. M. E. church will give an apron - and neck tie social, preceded by a literary and musical programme, Friday evening. Refreshments will also be served, and a general good time is promised all who attend. HERE'S A NEW FUEL, An Artificial Coal Which Does Not Require to Be Mined. The New Building- Ordinance B jing Gradually Tinkered Into Shape. A Leading- Mercantile Firm to Change Its Loca tion. More Single-Tax Ideas— Notes About Minneapolis Matters. M. Maxime Durand, of Paria, was walking nervously back and forth in the corridor of the West hotel yester day afternoon, when he was approaches by a Globe reporter and engaged in conversation. M. Durand has a strik ing personality, and would be picked out among a hundred men as one of superior attainments. He is short in stature, but built with robust shoulders and chest, the hands and feet small, even for a Frenchman. He wears a close-cut, iron gray beard, and his rather prominent features are set off by a pair of large, deep gr.iy eyes that aro never quiet for an instant, and seem to read one through at their first pene trating glance. In response to the inquiry as to whether or not he was M.,l)urand, the French savant, he replied "yes" to the former question, but said that he. left the latter to the good judgment of his confreres. The gentleman has a pleas- Bant voice, and while it has a l>road French accent, the language used is perfect, and proves that he has made a study of the English tongue. M. Durand is in the city in the interest of a patent upon which he has spent years of study, and lie. seemed rather reluctant to talk about it. "You see," said he, "though it is what 1 choose to call a patent, it is not yet patented, for 1 wish to make very cer tain that I snail word my papers so as to make it impossible that tnere shall be any infringements upon it. But come, 1 may tell you some things, that it will not hurt me to have known, for it may interest tlie public, and assist me in the formation of the comoany, after I shall secure my patent. Let us repair to my room, and I shall speak more freely." Arriving at monsieur's room, the sa ant motioned the reporter to a chair, and, seating himself, proceeded leis urely to roll a cigarette by way of pre amble. "You may be disappointed," said he finally, "that 1 have m»t to tell you that 1 have the means of forming diamonds at my command or discov ered the secret process of manufactur ing gold: but I have, not exactly dis covered, but improved on, a plan by which that can be manufactured that, will be of much more material benefit to the American people— a nieuhanical formation of a very fair quality of coal. "You smile, 1 see. at the idea of such a thing as being possible. Allow me to explain to you a little. For some years a poor quality of fuel has been made in certain portions of France by a mechan ical process, and in Holland an even better article is produced, but not to the perfection to which my apparatus brings it. You are perhaps aware of the high price of all kinds of coal in this North western country. What if 1 tell you that my coal can be made very close to Minneapolis at a first cost of 81.40 for a ton? Do you not see what a profit there would be in its manufacture? The only thing I have to guard against is that my patent shall be amply protected. The idea is so simple, when it is known, that what you call infringements would follow, unless tlie papers were rightly worded. "The next thing to be considered is quality. 1 have here," going to a flat leather receptacle and unstrapping it/a piece of the material which 1 have" made in a small way, and 1 ask you to tell me what it looks like." M. Durand handed the reporter a piece of black, heavy composition in a perfect shape, about the size of a biick, but half as long again. In appearance it much resembled a block of ebony, but was much darker than the natural wood, and considerably heavier. "Is not that beautiful ?" asked M. Durand, becoming enthusiastic. "You see 1 rub it so with my handker chief, and no black comes off. It is clean as wood. Now let me tell you an other thing; it works finer than wood. It will stand a polish as glossy as gran ite, and could be used for the manu facture of all sorts ot furniture, for it carves easily and gives a splendid bas relief effect. "The next thing to be considered is its inflammable qualities. There have been many fuels manufactured, and. 1 believe, a company has recently failed Minneapolis that was putting on the market what they termed petiole fuel. The fault with all such has been that they burn only in a flame and leave the ashes to deaden the fire. This fuel burns in a deep red coal, from which a bright, pale blue flame darts, and gives the most pleasing effect in a grate. You would be also much surprised at the ex ceedingly small amount of ashes that is accumulated, in which there can never be a sign of what you call clinker or slate. It can also be made in long blocks like the one you now hold in your hand, in small squares, or can be crushed and screened in the same man ner as the Pennsylvania coal. "I was up in the northern part of thi9 state and Dakota last autumn, and there 1 found an unlimited quantity of the material necessary to the manufacture of this fuel, which I have not, as yet, given a name. Should I succeed in forming the company, which I propose to start, the main offices would be in Minneapolis and the works not far away. A plant would cost about $50, --000, a small amount truly when the enormous profits are taken into consid eration. "I shall leave for St. Paul this even ing on matters connected with the tak ing out of my patent, and will return in a few days to interest some of the Min neapolis capitalists in my venture. I have been led to understand that they are ever ready to put in their money when the idea is a deserving one, and I think I can convince them from practi cal illustrations that I have something that Minneapolis should be proud to in troduce to the world. "I have hopes that everything can be completed by the coming summer, and then we shall see. I think we shall make what you call the coal barons weep bitter tears, and place a superior quality of fuel within the reach of the poor classes. There will be no further ueed to burn wood with coal at $4 for a ton. "I will try and let you know when my patent is out, and give you all the particulars," and the savant tenderly placed the block of fuel back in its re ceptacle and bowed the reporter out. AMENDING THE ORDINANCE. Aldermen, Architects and Build ers Exchange Ideas. The special committee appointed by the city council to revise the building ordinance settled down to hard work yesterday, and succeeded in agreeing on several important changes in the iaw. The committee is composed of Aid. Hunter, Love. Gilman, C. Bar rows, Architects W. C. Whitney, F. G. Corser, F. B. Long, Builders Charles Morse, George Libby and B. Cooper. Ex officio members X M. Hazen, inspector of buildings, and Rob ert D. Russell, city attorney. For some time the architects and build ' ers have objected to the present build- THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 2*i, 189 Q. Ing laws as being too strict, and they claim that this has kept business men from abroad from investing in land and putting up buildings. To remove this restriction it was necessary to revise the laws, and as the architects and builders are supposed to know just what ehauges are necessary, they were added to the committee. After being called to order by Aid. Hunter, who acts as chairman, the ordinance was taken up one section at a time. The follow ing amendment was made to the first section : All buildings or parts of buildings hereafter erected in Minneapolis and not herein specifically described, shall be of sound materials, of good work manship and abundautly strong for the purpose intended; and the size of ma terials used therein shall be such as have been determined by the best au thority and demonstrated by experts to be proper materials subjected to transverse strains, shall not be loaded to more than one-fourth their breaking strength: if subjected to sheariug or tensile strains to more than one-fifth their ultimate strength, and t)i<Ts or columns of less than five diameters to more than one-sixth their crushing strength. Columns of more than five diameters are to be increased in strength according to the formula: of the best authority, and the buUding inspector is hereby authorized to require the above conditions. Sections two and three were un changed. Section four was changed so that the walls of a building should be made lire-proof, and it should not be re quired that the whole building should be made fire-proof as now provided. City Attorney Russell raised the point that the roof should also be made fire proof, and it. was decided that the ordi nance should include the roofs ana walls. Inspector Hazen offered a further amendment to allow the erection of iron-roofed sheets for the use of busi ness men inside the fire limits, which was adopted. In the fifth section the standard depth of foundation wails, twelve feet, was abolished, otherwise :t was allowed to remain unchanged. No change was made in the required thick ness of the walls of buildings. In the sixth section the provision which pro hibits doorways between two adjoining buildings from being more than ten feet in height by eight feet in width was stricken out, and this matter left en tirely with the building inspector. The paragraph which prohibits rooms more than twenty-live feet in width was also stricken out. The regulation about fire-proof and slow-burning buildings was stricken out and the following substituted: All hotels, boarding or lodging houses six stories or over in height must be built strictly fire-proof. All store buildings, factories or mills six stones or over in height, if not built strictly fire-proof, must be slow-burn ing, equal to the following: Floor and roof, joists or rafters to be throughly protected on the lower sur face with \ x i incites thick (a tile of less thickness raav be used, provided there Is an air space between the joists and the tile of at least a half-inch), or the ioists or rafters may be heavy timbers of a size noi less than Bxß inches, with the top surface floored over with matched plank not less than three inches thick. Partitions to be either brick tile or plank; if planks are used they must be matched and of a thickness not less than three inches. That part of section 9 prohibiting the erection of a bay window "in any alley" was striken out. Section 10 was changed so as to allow stairways or open areas to extend live feet into sidewalks eighteen feet wide, and four and a half feet on streets having walks fifteen feet wide. This is an Increase of six inches. That part of section 12 relating to weights on floors was changed so that dwellings, tenements and lodging house floors must be able to sustain a weight of 50 pounds per foot, instead of 100 p lunds, as formerly, and for public b.iiltlings and for those used for light mechanical purposes the floor must be capable of sustaining a weight of luo pounds per foot instead of 150. All that part of section 12 relating to the manner of calculating the strength of material was stricken out. All that part of tne same section relating to the "protection of stairways, etc., in factories, mills and lodging houses was cut out, but the stairways must be constructed of incom bustible material. The paragraph in section 13. requiring the slope of com position roofs not to exceed two inches to the foot was stricken out, otherwise the section was allowed to stand. Sec tion 14, requiring fire-proof shutters on all storehouses, mills and manufactories, was strieuen out. Sections 1(5 and 17 were not changed. In section 18 the word "only" was cut out of the paragraph relating to the use of brackets, so that chimneys in future cannot rest on thtmi at all. Sec tion 19 was amended so as to require a suitable number of red lights at night, where any portion of the street or side walk is used for the purpose of erecting or repairing a building. No changes were thought necessary in sections 20, 21, 22 and 23. The last paragraph of section 24 was amended so as to allow, the building inspector to grant permis sion to parties to move frame buildings from one part of a lot to another part of the same lot inside the fire limits. Sec tions 26 and 27, relating to fire escapes on buildings, was stricken out and the state law on fire escapes was substituted with the additional proviso that the city council may order such additional es capes as are necessary for protection in special cases. No fault was found with sections 28, 29. 80 or 31. Section 32, al lowing the building inspector to esti mate the cost of buildings, had been found unnecessary since no charge was made for permits, and it was stricken out. No changes were made iv sections 33. 34 and a% Section 80, which provided for the inspection of all passenger and freight elevators by the building inspector, was stricken out. That part of section 37 relating to the qualifications of the building in spector was changed so as to admit of a practical architect or builder or civil engineer, who has been engaged in the active duties of his profession for at least ten years, becoming the inspector. All that part relating to an examina tion before a board composed of archi tects and builders and the city engineer was striken out, as the committee thought that ten years' practical expe rience was sufficient qualification. No other changes were made in this sec tion. The committee adjourned to meet at 9 o'clock this morning. THE DUTY ON LUMBER. Edward C. Gale's lalk Before the Single Tax League. "The Import Tax on Lumber" was the subject of a paper read last evening at the meeting of the Single Tax league, by Edward C. Gale. The speaker started out by showing that the duty on lumber was established in 1842, and was at that time purely sectional, he claimed that the practical effect of this was to discriminate in favor of one state against another. The rate of duties under the act of 1842 was from 20 to 30 per cent ad valorum. The present tariff was enacted in 1883, and places the duty at 12 per 1,000 on all common sawed lumber, including pine. The revenue from this souice amounted to $930,000 since 1883, and on all other lum ber to $1,500,000. The present tariff affects practically but three states- Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. He did not believe that if the tariff of $2 per 1.000 wefe removed the consumer would be able to buy the lumber 12 per 1,000 cheaper; but there was no doubt but. that the cost would be reduced probably 81 per 1,000. lie did not think the tax was right, as it kept considera ble lumber out of the Canadian market, because Canada had imposed a recipro cal tax of 52. and this kept the Ameri can lumbermen out of the Canadian markets. J. Newton Nind, the editor of the Lumberman, did not agree with many of the statements made by Mr. Gale. Mr. Nind said he wasn't prepared to say I whether the tariff on lumber should be removed or not. He di'ln ; t think that the lumbermen were at all exercised over the question, but he was sure that the tariff on lumber was a purely local question, and that a majority of the lumber manufacturers didn't care anything about it. In certain points in Michigan the removal of the t.nrill' would mean that the Cana dian manufacturers would enter into competition with the Americans. In Minnesota this would not be true. Experience has shown that the actual eostfof tonnage to a railroad is about half a cent per mile; 1,000 feet of lumber weighs about a ton, and the railroads carry it for about three quar ters of a cent per mile. When it is taken into consideration that there are 300 miles between our market and Canada, the cost of carrying the product here would more than balance the tariff of $2. On the other hand, in Michigan, which is easy of access to the Canadian border, the removal of the tariff would give the Canadian the ad vantage. In spite of the reciprocal tariff, "Mr. Mind said it was a fact that the United States exported to Canada fully eight times the amount of lumber Canada sent into the United States. The subject was further discussed by E. C. Whitney and others. A PINK I,O<JATION. S. E. Olson & Co. to Move "Up Town" This Spring. For several months past the firm of S. E. Olson & Co., leading dry goods deal ers, have been casting about for a new location. Notwithstanding the present , store occupies prominent and commo dious quarters, the desire of ■ the pro- ] prietors has been strong for a location: further up town on Nicolletavenne.that is above Washington avenue. Not withstanding the difficulty that would naturally be experienced in srcurine a building which would accommodate the needs of such an extensive establish ment, it is learned that no less prom inent a location than that occupied by the Wood block, winch is situated on Nicollet avenue, equidistant from Third ' avenue and .

'■'■. • ■.'- As shown by its statement of actual results, the Provident Savings Life As surance Society of New .York paid to i September Ist, 1889, death claims to beneficiaries under its renewable term | policies, the sum of 81,292.000 at a total cost tor premiums of £04,967.25. .. , The ordinary wtiole lift level premi- Urns would have been £204,341.31. The percentage of cost in the Provident as compared with that of other regular companies was less j than §■%. . Or, in. other words, the same premiums, it', paid for ordinary whole life level pre mium insurance, would have secured to the claimants 5410.210 only, instead of 81.292,000. which was paid to them by the Provident. A The Provident Savings was admitted to do business in the state of Minnesota in July, 1884; since which lime more than $2,000,000 of insurance lias been written in the state, more than $1,500,000 or which is still in force. Tne record is unparalleled by any life insurance com pany in the first live years of its busi ness in this state. The Dlan of the Provident is emi nently common sense. It is the safest, . fairest aud most satisfactory plan ever devised. It is easily understood. Day light shines through it and around it. Our policy holders are the company's best agents. Nearly $100,000,000.00 of insurance has been written by the com pany within the past seven years; nearly $20,000,000 in 1889. • The Provident furnishes pure life ; insurance, unmixed with banking or in vestment. That its contracts are safe is beyond question. The Provident's annual statement will be seen in an other column of this paper.".

Tndigestion IS not only a distressing complaint, of , itself, but, by causing the blood to become depraved and the system en feebled, is the parent of . innumerable maladies. That Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best cure for Indigestion, even 1 when complicated with Liver Complaint', 1 is proved by the following testimony irom Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway Centre, Mich.: — . Liver complaint, and indigestion made my life a burden and came near ending my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold agony, was reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly had strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at . all. Within the time mentioned several physiciansjjeated me without giving re lief. Notmng that I took seemed to do "' : any permanent good until I commenced the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results. Soon ' after commencing to take the Sarsapa rilla I could see an improvement in my* condition. • . My appetite began to return and with it came the ability to digest all the > food taken, my strength im- ■. proved : each day, and after a few months of faithful attention to your directions, I found myself a well woman, able to attend to all household duties.
