The Tragedy in Which/Young
Spaulding-'s Blood Was
Shed. : ; /
Murdered by a Friend, Robbed
and Thrown Into the
Canal.
Young Whalen, His Compan
ion, Suspected as tha
Murderer.
- ■ ; ..
The Singular Circumstances
• Which Led to Finding the
Body.
The body of G. 11. Spaulding, son of
the clerk of the Windsor hotel, who
was found dead under snch suspicious
circumstances at Portage, Wis., Satur
day morning* was brought to this city
on the 2:40 Milwaukee train yesterday,
and is now lying at the undertaking es
tablishment of McCarthy & Donnelly.
The mystery surrounding the death has
been completely cleared up. Spaulaing
was cruelly and brutally murdered by
the man whom he took to be his friend.
No moro fiendish and cowardly crime
was ever committed, -and should the
red-handed assassin be apprehended, as
he will in all likelihood, the services of
Judge .Lynch may. be required to satiata
the wrath of the peoule, which baa
been raised to a hii,h pilch. A few
weeks ago, when the "Power of the
Press" company was playing at the
Metropolitan, young Spauldins, with
some other of his comrades, went upou
the stage iv the capacity of supernu
meraries. They were paid a nominal
sum for their histrionic labors, but, like
most young men, felt amply compen
sated in ■ witnessing tlio show.
It was while thus engaged that
Mr. Spaulding became acquainted
with a man named Whalen,
who appeared to be a hail-fellow-well
met sort of a chap, and the two became
quite intimate during their stage expe
rience. Whalen also acted as a "supe."
After the company's engagement was
linished the two hoys were frequently
seen together, and were apparently
fast friends. Shortly after this Spaul
diiig conceived the notion of going to
Chicago to visit some relatives there,
and informed his father of his inten
tions. . The father gave the lad $25 with
which to purchase some necessaries,
and bade him good by, telling him to
take care of himself. It now transpires
that Spaulding did not make the trip
alone. His friend Whalen went along;
and, not only that, but Spaulding paid
his fare. At Portage, it is presumed,
Whalen induced his companion to
leave the train, under what pretext
It is not known, but for the
evidently preconceived purpose of
foully murdering him. A few hours
- later'a man was found beastly drunk
near the canal, and near him a lanre
quantity of blood. As the blood marks
extended to the edge of the dock, the
police at once suspected that a murder
had been committed, and their suspi
cious were fully -confirmed, for upon
dragging the stream the body of a
young mau was brought to the surface,
it was that of Spaulding, and a fearful
sight it presented. Tlio head wa3 bat
tered into a shapeless mass, the instru
ment of death being a coupling pin,
which was found near the scene of the
murder. The pin . was . covered with
clotted blood and hair. The ground
was torn up in the vicinity, showing
that a desperate struggle had ensued,
and that the young man had made an
heroic : fight- lor his life, but against
weighty odds. The drunken man was
at once arrested, it being at first -.sup
posed that he was the murderer, but it
afterwards transpired that the conduct
or of the down train, on which Spauld
ing and Whalen were, had put the man
off at Portage, and, by chance, no
doubt, he had aimlessly wandered down
near the canal, where he fell asleep.
- An examination of Spaulding's body
showed that it had been completely
stripped of all valuables, including his
watch, coat and shoes. liobbery had
therefore furnished the motive for the
rubbery. A tag on the inside of the
coat collar bore the names of "Pease
Bros., St.. Paul." and "G. 11. Spauld
ing.' A dispatch was at once sent
to Pease Bros., the tnilors here, as no
one at Portage was able to uteutify.the
stranger. Mr. Pease at once communi
cated the sad intelligence to the father
of the victim, who was terribly shocked
upon hearing the awful news. lie took
the first train to Pottagr, and there
learned the facts surrounding his son's
death, as here narrated. . ■
There is no doubt about Whalen be
ing the murderer. lie was seen with
Spaulding at the union depot in this
city prior to taking the train, and he
was also f=een to leave the train at Port
age in company with Spaulding. Some
time aftPr the murder he was seen on
the streets of Portage carrying a pair of
shoes under his arm, the shoes which,
no doubt," he had stolen from his victim
Telegrams have been sent out in every
direction from Portage withdescriptipns
of Whalen, and there is every reason to
believe that the murderer will be cap
tured before many days.
Young Spalding had worked at the
Aberdeen for a time, and was known to
be very quiet, unassuming and gentle
manly, lie had a host of friends, who
will be grieved to learn of his sorrow
ful death.
Since writing the above it has been
learned that the murderer Whalen was
a member of the "Power of the Press"
company in a minor role, and that he
had been discharged while the company
was playinsr here. After his discharge
he stayed around town and "blowed in"
what little money he had earned. Find-
Ing himself strapped, he determined to
strike out for Chicago, and informed a
number of his friends that he intended
to beat his way down, as lie was. dead
•broke. At this crisis he probably met
Spauldinsr, and learning that he had a
little money, by some specious plea in
duced him to go to Chicago. What fol
lowed has already been described. /;>';

HIS FAREWELL,.
11. P. Hall's Sentiments at the
Banquet in His Honor.
The press of advertising matter in the
Sunday Globe compelled such gen
eral condensation of matter that the ad
dress of Uarlan P. Hall at the farewell
banquet tendered him was necessarily
omitted. The substance of what he
said was as follows:
There sometimes comes to a man an
event in his life when the few letters
which compose our alphabet prevent
him from forming the words which he
would like to use to express the senti
ments which are uppermost in his mind.
1 feel that such an event has come to
me tonight, and I must ask your indul
gence and ask you to place yourselves,
as nearly as you can, in my position,
and accept from tne the tribute that 1
would like to pay partially to your im
agination, for I feel that language is in
adequate for me to state my own feel
ings upon this occasion.
If 1 felt that 1 was worthy of all the
complimentary allusions which have
been made to me, I should fear that I
had made a serioii9 mistake in arrang
ing to be transplanted to a wicked and
distant city [laughter]; that I should
rather have tiled my application to be
translated to that only land and city
which can even claim to be the peer of
St. Paul and Minnesota. [Applause.]
It is nearly thirty years since I came to
St. Paul— then a small frontier town.
There were but ten miles of railroad in
the state and but 160,000 inhabitants
within our borders. For six montns in
the year we were obliged to rely upon
the stage coaches to reach civilization
beyond our borders; for the remaining
six months we relied upon boats, which
were oftentimes obliged to wait upon
sandbars until the heavy dew or
a damp fog floated them off
into the channel. [Great laughter.]
I have lived to see that
ten miles of railroad expand to 5,000;
the population of the state to reach over
a million and a half; the inhabitants of
St. Paul to number more than the entire
state of Minnesota contained at that
time. Having dining all these years
endeavored, with such ability as 1 pos
sessed to aid in this advancement, 1 can
exclaim: All of this 1 saw, and part of
it 1 was! You can therefore appreciate,
my friends, my feejings. when 1 say to
you that St. Paul aiid Minnesota are to
me flesh of my flesh and blood of my
blood. [Applause.] It is here that my
first-born lies buried, and it is here that
1 expect to find my last earthly resting
place [applause], and it is with deeper
emotions than I can express, or than
words will permit me to express, that 1
stand before you tonight to say gooa-by;
at the same time feeling that 1 shall fre
quently bo among you, and still, not as
before.
1 cannot adequately thank you, gen
tlemen of the various organizations
here represented, not only for the kind
ness of your presence and your senti
ment, but for this beautiful testimonial,
which 1 shall carry with me as long as I
live as a remembrance of the good will
and esteem of gentlemen whom I re
irard as the warmest friends that any
man had upon earth. [Applause.]
I have long since forgiven Caot.
Castle for having allowed me to flail
him as 1 have in years past [laughter],
consequently I will not be outdone iv
his generosity accepting his apology
here this evening. [Applause aud
laughter.]
1 can assure you that during the brief
absence when 1 have been engaging in
my new field of labor, 1 have felt the
value of the friends I am about to leave
behind me— l lind that in a city sur
rounded by such a multitude of people,
it is simply a situation of desolation
there is no heart, no friendship there;
nothing but a selfish, hurly-burly greed.
And although 1 may join in that throng
as a business necessity, my heart will
be with you in Minnesota. [Great ap
plause.] 1 shall not seek to make, in my
new field new social acquaintances. I
prefer to carry with me tho memory of
my present frienda rather than dim the
luster of those I have already secured
by those who come at the eleventh hour.
And 1 can assure you, gentlemen, that
nothing will give me greater pleasure
than to meet you— any or all of you — as
often as possible in New York or
Chicago, or wherever 1 may be; and I
hope also that I may frequently be able
to renew friendships by visits to this
community. But wherever 1 may be
you can count on it thai I shall feel
that Minnesota is my home. 1 question
whether I shall ever attempt to exer
cise the rieht of suffrage outside the
borders of tnis state. [Applause.]
1 do not know what 1 can say, gentle
men, in fact. There come times when
the heart aud brain almost stand slill,
paralyzed by tho affection and friend
ship showered upon a man, and I feel
that that time is present with me to
night. 1 do not feel that I can, except
in a feeble way, express my sentiments
and feelings upon tiiis occasion. It i 3 a
sad occasion to me, and at the same
time I trust a beneficial one. But I can
assure you that so far as social relations
and immunities are concerned, Minne
sota is the only place that 1 shall ever
expect to look to for those pleasures
and courtesies.
I thank you. gentlemen, one and all,
and thank the absent friends, who 1
know are in -sympathy with this oc
casion, many of whom would have been
glad to have been present; and I trust
that we may have future meetings and
Dleasaht ones, and 1 shall hope to meet
you as often as circumstances will per
mit, and you will always find me labor
ing, as 1 have been laboring in the past,
to advance the interests of the frater
nity in Minnesota, and in St. Paul espe
cially, in preference to those of all the
world besides. [Applause.]
CUNNING WITH CUES.
The Newspaper Handicap Opens
at the Metropolitan.
The handicap billiard tournament at
the Metropolitan hotel had an auspi
cious beginning Saturday evening.
Joe Games, the genial manager of the
billiard room ot the hotel, has hung up
three elegant cues for the newspaper
boys to compete for. He has under
taken to make an equitable handicap
of llie contestants, and the two initial
games would indicate the fairness of
his judgment. The two games we're
close and exciting, and the first one,
particularly, was marked by clever
work. Cochrane. of the "Pioneer
Press, met Sexias, of the same
paper, at handicap allowances
of 100 for the first and 80 for the latter.
Sexias wo.i 100 to %. The fact is, both
played in line form and made eood aver
ages. Cochrane's highest run was 11,
and Sexias' Diggt-st inning was 8 points.
Then followed a struggle between
Schmahl and Ward, and the invincible
Julius won. He is a very promising
candidate for one of the prizes, and he
played "out of sight." The handicap
allowance is 100 for Ward to 50 for
Schmahl, and Schmahl secured his 100
buttons with his difference as against
Ward's 'J4. The series will continue
Monday evening, when several of the
evening newspaper "hustlers" will try
conclusions.

FIRST LAWJF LIFE
Instinct Declares to Be the !
Preservation of Your
self.
Rev. W. S. Vail Glvas His
Views Thereon in Mas- "c
terly Style,
t ■>; f
And Shows the Great Re
sponsibilities in This
World.
Brilliant Sermon of a Visit
ing Canadian Preacher
Last Night
Rev. W. S. Vail, in his sermon yester
day morning before the Universalist
society in the Grand opera house, said:
"Friends, there is ii; the human mind
an instinct that says: 'The first law of
your life is the preservation of your
self,' and that law contradicts all the
philosophy you can bring to bear.
Alongside of that there is another law
thai says: 'You are a responsible be
ing.' You may inherit tendencies that
are unfortunate; you may reincarnate
a life that is dragging you down; you
may be bearing the sin of some an
cestor who weighted you with tenden
cies that are a curse to you every hour.
Still you and every man has the feel
ing of responsibility. That is the one
lever that has lifted the world. 'I am
responsible to some unseen power,' said
the primitive man, crawling out of his
dark cave, and he began to try to jiud
his God. 1 am responsible to some
higher power, and he began to seek in
the overarching sky. in the bright dawn,
in the memory of ancestors, a being to
worship and who had a
Kiglit to Hit* Worship.
'•Every man comes into this world
without consultation or choice. In war
we risk our lives under the guns that
are sowing the field with leaden grain;
or a brave messenger rides through a
very shower of bullets to deliver his
message; or a commander rides in the
very face of defeat, with death hovering
in the saddle of each man, down some
valley of destruction, as did the Light
Brieade at Balaclava; but in each case
it was choice. It is premeditated sacri
fice, or it is the acceptance of the chance
in such a way that each seems aminded
in his death to throw away his life, as
'twere the merest trifle. The other
case is different. That one man is born
in sight of the spire of Harvard univer
sity aud another is born In the heart of
Africa.is not the choice of either. Aud if
we are not consulted as to our birth, and
if we are to a largo extent the cieatures
of circumstance, inheritance and condi
tion, then I say 'that to make a broad
macadamized road by which this whole
population shall march down to an em\- i
less doom in a fiery pit puts a fearful
responsibility on somebody.
And we may here pause a moment' to
emphasize the fact that great endow
ment implies great responsibility; > A
judge of the supreme court is held more-,
closely to his decision, and we expect
more of him than ofa rural justice. y\Ve
expect more from lennyson than fr^in
The Village Khymster. v? lit
"We rise in expectation as the object of
expection rises in endowment. And* of
all the responsibilities in this worlJ the
greatest is the creation of a world sWfef
ject — the awful doom of endless Wse:
"There has ever been in the minU',of
man two convictions; one has taught
him that he is under obligation to soinfe
unseen power, the other has taught him
in varying ways that he is to seek t^ie
welfare of his race. The savagest.pnn
ishincnt of this day was accepted' in
the place of some punishment more sav
age, and was accepted on tha sid^of
mercy. The prisoner of war, driven
like a beast of burden under yoke of
the tyrant, was supposed to elijoy an
immense clemency because he was
freed from immediate and ignominious
death. And rising to every form of ex
perience until we reach the summit, we
rind the same fact, and still it is man
endowed with a faculty, working out j
by the help of this light, his salvation.
"Who will claim that he has absolute
knowledge? How little we know. We
boast of our scientific knowledge; every
man did that in the beginning of this
century, and since that time all knowl
edge has been restated. Under this
condition, knowing that we are in ig
norance of many things, that we are at
the best needing to pray continually
for light, and that we are burdened by
our heredity and our surroundings as
well as our weakness, I feel sure that
we shall say: 'The Father kuowin;: the j
weakness ef man will always leave the
door ajar and the lights burning, so that
when repentant nature seeks entrance
from the wild moors of sinful regret
that light will seem to say "Come home,
my child, come home.' "

lows:
"The passion that inspires men to
rifle and ruin other countries in order
to aggrandize their own. and which pop
ular ignorance applauds under the
name of patriotism, has no afliuity what
ever with that noble passion ~ which
flowed in the heart of our apostle. It
is more akin to hell than beaveni The
statesman, warrior, king, who injure
other nations in order to benefit their
own are no patriots. They violate the
eternal rights of man. and therefore, by
the settled arrangements of righteous
heaven, bring a ruinous retribtmon
upon the country they foolishly aim to
serve. 'With what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you again.'
They that leacl into captivity must eg
thither. This is an irrevocable
decree in the moral government
of the world. Whatever else a
country has, if it has not
true religion it is lost. This is its great
vvant. Give it this and many other good
tilings will come. All necessary thitigs
go with the kingdom of God. DoVuu
deplore the evils of your country, mid
do you sigh for their removal'? . Tjie
only effective method by which to real
ize your patriotic wishes is to promote
true godliness. All political and social
evils grow out of moral causes, ajid^:!- j
liness alone can remove these. Ifc* is
profitable unto all things; it has Bie j
promise of the 'life that now is and of ;
that which is to come.' "

A RISING STAR
In the Musical Firmament—Pleas
ant Musical Given.
Saturday evening, at the residence of
TMrs. J. O'Connell, 228 South Exchange
street, a very enjoyable musical was
given by Charles A. Lester in honor of j
Miss Kate M. Collins, a new' star in the
musical firmament of St. Paul. Miss
Collins' playing is marked by.the deli
cacy of touch, the accuracy and brill
iance of execution, the . pathos, the
gracefulness, the intelligence in inter
pretation which belongs only to the
virtuoso. Miss Colins certainly has a
briliant future before her. The follow
ing programme was presented:
Piano— Dr?i Oavier-Stucke (No. 2).. Schubert
Prof. W. A. Wneatou.
Piano— Sonata, Op. 2(J Beethoven
I.udwig Mock.
Violin— Elegie Ernst
Edward Nippolt.
Piano— lthapsodie Hongroise No. 14 Liszt
Miss Katie M. Collins.
Vocal — "Iv Questa Tomba" Beethoven
Charles A. Lester.
Violin— "Life Let L'sCherish" Mozart ]
Edward Nippolt.
Piano— "Spinneriied" Liszt
Miss Katie M. Collins.
Piauo— Etude, Op. 4S : Kullak
Ludwig Mock.
Vocal— "Piddle and I"' Goodeve
Charles A. Lester. Violin obligato,
Mr. Nippolt.
Piano — Impromptu Chopin
Miss Katie M. Collins.
Vocal— "You" Robyn
Otto A. Roun.
Original Recitation— "A Dip luto the Future"
Alexander W. Caldwell.
Of Prof. Wheaton's playing little
need be said. He ably sustained his
well-known reputation of being a care
ful and intelligent pianist. Mr. Mock
played Beethoven's sonata, and later
Kullak's etude, very creditably. Mr.
Nippolt is a rising young violinist, who
played his solos in good style, and who
gives promise ot a successful future.
Mr. Lester's solos were acceptably ren
dered. Mr. Kohn was in excellent voice,
and his performance deserved the ap
plause it elicited. Alex W. Caldwell
lias eood satirical powers and an excel
lent delivery. His recitation was thor
oughly enjoyed.
SUNDAY THEATERS,
"Sinbad 1 ' and "My Jack" the At
tractions.
Sunday night amusements seem to
grow in popularity at the Metropolitan
theater, and they will continue to grow
as long as they are stimulated by such
attractions as "Sinbad." Last night's
audience was undoubtedly the largest
Sunday attendance the theater has
ever known. The house was crowd
ed from foyer to footlights, and
most of the boxes were occupied.
"Sinbad" is an extravaganza of the
type of the "Crystal Slipper," and is an
improvement over that popular produc
tion. The experience of the latter has
been used iv making "Sinbad" the
wonderful success it certainly is. Be
yond any question it is the finest spec
tacle ever produced on the American
stage. It is one bewildering succession
of flashing, dazzling spectacles from the
rising of the curtain to the grand trans
formation scene with which it closes.
Everything that magnificent scenery,
gorgeous costumes, glittering lights
and" ingenious mechanical effects
can contribute to such a spec
tacle was artfully employed. Ev
ery shift of the scenery and every
rise of the curtain were signals for the
most enthusiastic applause, which cul
minated in the outburt which greeted
the linal transformation effort. As far
as the play is concerned it endeavors to
follow but the lines of the "Arabian
Nights" story, weaving iv enoutrh ex
traneous matter to give it life and ac- I
lion. The music is good, and there are ]
enough pretty girls to stock out a se
raglio. Among the people are all the old
time favorites, each of whom was
greeted with applause as he made his
bow. "Sinbad'- will be, and should be,
seen by crowded houses duriug the eu
grgement.
l OIy JacK" at the Grand.
The. closing scene of the first act of
"My Jack" is as reaiistic a bit of stage
mechanism as can be seen. It depicts
a storm off the coast of Cornwall. A
ship has struck the rocks,tbe light house
is seen towering above the raging
waves, the keepers are making a des
perate effort to save the crew, when the
light house is blown up by the villain
of the play. All seems to be hopeless
for the struggling sailors when, iv
the nick of time, a boat, manned by
a fisherman and a girl, conies to the
rescue. The curtain falls upon as thrill
ing a scene as can be seen on any stage.
The melodrama throughout is staged in
most elaborate style! A view of the
Soudan desert is very line. Walter
Sandford is surrounded by a capable
company. Mr. Sandford, in the leading
role, not only looks but acts it in an ad
mirable manner, lie is especially good
in the desert scene, in which Mr. Ander
son (as the vagabond Greek) and Mr.
Sandford furnished the cleverest piece
Ofwork da ring the evening. Miss
Ethel Banington's support is worthy of
men lion. There are no lack of exciting
situations. "My Jack" will run the
week.

SCHOOL, SAVINGS BANKS.
A Suggestion for Encouraging
Thrift in the Youth.
To the Editor of the Globe.
"Capital and Labor is a rallying cry
of this latter. part of our century— a cry ;
I that sends chilling fear into tbe heart of
! a philanthropist and humanita
i rian, who fears an ever-widening breech
between capitalist and laborer.
But what is most wanted is not more
capital, nor even more labor, but more
thrift.-. "The masses know how to earn
better than they know how to save."
The inability to get money is not so
Diuch'-' the source of poverty and its
evils as the lack of wisdom in expend
ing or saving: Let two young men start
in life equally equipped and receive for
a number of years the same salary, their
circumstances being as h nearly alike
as psssible. At the end of ten
years one - will : be found independ
ent, successful and happy; the other
unsuccessful, in debt, and cursing
his ■••luck,"- envying his friend, and
ready to accept all the doctrine of the
unequal distribution of wealth, and the
oppression of the poor man by the rich,
when in truth there has been nobody to
blamn except himself and his own "un
thrift.
_ What can the nation do protect it
self against these unthrifty ones, too
otten embryo anarchists and criminals?
It were a difficult t-/.sk to teach thrift to
men and women ignorant of fts first
essentials, but there are the children
with minds so plastic to receive, "but
marble to retain" impressions; to them
we must turn.
School savings banks throughout the
nation would doubtless prove one of the
best methods of training the children to
habits ot thrift and self-dependence.
These are already in wide use in Eu
rope. In France there are 23,375 savings
school banks under patronage of the
government; in Belgium, 5,25'J, and
they are in common use in Germany,
Hungary. Austria, Russia. England,
Switzerland and the Netherlands. Italy
has 5,401 postal savings banks. In this
country the subject ha 3 had some con
sideration and isolated trials ever since
1576, but gained no headway until Prof.
J. H. Thiry, a French educator who
came to this country for his health, in
troduced tin 1 system into the public
schools of Long Island City in 1885.
The experiment there has been most
successful, and interest has broadened
in the work, until now over 200 schools
in various parts of the United States
have adopted the plan, nearly one
fourth of these being in Pennsylvania.
The system is so simple, no trouble
need be experienced in adopting it. The
first thing is to iuterest the school
authorities and teachers. School boards
often take much interest in introducing
the system, and teachers who have the
best interests of their pupils at heart
will readily see its benetits. The co
operation of a savings bank must also
be secured, and the question of who
shall prius the blank form and cards be
decided. The bank usually "assumes
this cost.
Having made preparation and seta
day for collecting the first savings of
the pupils, their' parents and the gen
eral public should be fully informed.
Tins can be done by the teachers and
friends of the system, in private schools
or country districts. In towns and cities
it is wiser to issue a circular addressed
to the natrons of the school, stating the
facts of the proposed innovation and its
advantages, and soliciting their a&sist
ance.On the morningof the collection, the
roll is called by the -teacher, the child
responding by taking the money to her.
She marks the amount on a school sav
iiiss bank card ODposite the proper date,
and also places the amount in the roll
book to his credit. This card is always
in possession of the child, and serves as
a memorandum ana 1 receipt. The first
deposit is made in the name of the
teacher or principal, but when a child
has saved ?L he is given a bank book,
and becomes, through the school, a reg
ular patron ot the savings banK. When
his deposit has reached 53 or $5, as the
bank decides, it draws niterest.at3or
more per cent. During vacation the
child may deposit- or withdraw money
directly t'rooHtue bank, the withdrawal
requiring ! the signature of '"parent : or
guardian. • '•' -:, -rr.-' ' ■,-:•■■■>. ■•-.■;■■■•"
:: A weekly card has been prepared by
Prof. Thiry, who has with great care
fitted aud simplified the school savings
Dank system of Europe to our need.
Samples of this card, "with . use of copy

the syste m can be obtained by writing

'/COMES TOO LATE.
A Suggestion for an . Auditorium
and Library Building.
To the Editor of ihe Globe.
So much has been said of late regard
ing the proposed auditorium that it
seems superfluous " to add more to the
over-agitated question.^However, if
you will allow space to the following
suggestion, you may, through your
kindness, give life to : what I term the
proper solution of the problem: Being
opposed to the old market house site
on account of its value as business prop
erty and the unsightly and essentially
craniped affair the remodeling of same
would give, I would suggest to the
citizens of , St. Paul that the block of
property surrounded on the north and
east by Fourth and Market streets and
on the south and west by TBlrd and
Washington streets be purchased and a
combined auditorium and library build
ing of no mean pretensions be "erected
thereon.. What could be more credit
able and _ beneficial to our city than a
stateiy, well-equipped and conveniently
arranged . hall and library build
ing situated on the middle of
said bloctc, surrounded by well-kept
grounds, with Rice park for a breathing
place between the now-assured ekgaut
Custom house building, which is soon to
adorn our city, and the hall located as
above, taking into consideration the
(Omtnanding view, the enchanting
scenery. up and down the Mississippi
valley; the close proximity to what is
destined to become the permanent busl
i ess district, . Ihe rapid transit advan- '
tages, the enhancement of property,
which has long deserved improvement,
and the all-important question of econ
omy, all of which point to said location
as the proper site. The city now has
on' tlie tax levy, f 120,000: by subscription
for library purposes, $100,000; the ap
praised value of the old market prop
erty, Jo 50,000;' a total of $570,000. lv
short, my suggestion is this: By the
judicious handling of the funds and
values on hand toward an exchange for
said block, with a suitable building
thereon, the city of St. Paul can have,
without extra cost, one of the grandest,
most complete, ;»nd most magnificent
combined hall and library buildings in
the United States. A St. Paui.ite.
