A Protest on Certain Garbage * '..,..■ Matters— Another on One of the ' Fancy Arches— A Great Mass of Matters Interesting to Tax —payers. 'pz-li. The regular meeting of the assembly last night occupied the attention of the nine ineuibefs'pfesent for nearly three hours.. A ('OlllllllllllOllllOll was .present ed by the Real Estate exenange asking for $5 )*.) with which to assist in enter taining the 'coining national .convention of real estate men which -meets in this City in Augfist. E. J. Hodgson said in Buffalo the*;* delegates, 600 in number, were entertained and some §15,000 spent h*-[§iitertaii>iug them. The council wis asked to appropriate only $500 order to assist-the-real estate men In taking care of them and sending them away so that the city would be benefited. ' Assemblyman Johnson said it was not his money the Real" Estate exchange wanted to spend, but he saw no reason " why the city should expend the amount asked to entertain the real estate men. of other cities. The delegates might speak of the hospitality of the city, but tnat was about all. •:- .ily-Xl William Can by and the real estate men were a factor in the city, and all they needed was to get a part of the money. they had brought, to the city in the t past years. The delegate^'.- were men who would observe the advantages of- the city and would talk of them. Mr. Hodgson said the convention was secured for St. Paul on the strength of a telegram sent by the city officials when the convention was in session at Buffalo. ; : : Mr. Lightner said because .some of \ the city officials helped get the conven tion it was no reason why the money should be paid from the city treasury. Was it right to vote the city's money: to the real estate exchange to entertain visitors? It was the easiest thing in the world for the council to vote for- the money. The sixty-nine men in the real estate exchange did not represent, the city by any means, and he was of the opinion that if left to a vote of the>peri ple the money would not be voted. The council did represent the citizens,, and for this reason the members not be asked to appropriate the money. r . The resolution accompanying^ the petition failed to pass, there being six for and three against, those. opposing it being Doran. Lightner and Reard-on. Those who favored it were Johnson, La y, Walterstorff, Sauaeil^Van Slyke aim Sohuette. Late in the session the resolution was reconsidered and sent to the committee on ways and means. r A Garbage Protest. The residents in the vicinity of Law son and Agate streets presented a peti tion asking that the garbage contractors be required to move the platform from which garbage was shipped to some other point where there were no Houses. The petition set forth that barrels, used by the contractors to gather garbage were washed in a pond near the track, which had no outlet. The stench from the pond was detrimental to the public health, and bodies of dead anitnais were left for hours in the sun. The discus sion which followed was long and ex citing, a number of the residents taking part In the debate. A resolution which accompanied the. petition directed the contractors to stop loading garbage -on the cars at the' foot of Lawson street, and to remove the place of doing the work to some spot north of ' Maryland street.- "The resolution was adopted, all the members -. present voting 1 for its passage except Mr. Reardon.* ' -}■ The petition; which alleged that the work was being done by the garbage contractors in a manner not specified in the contract" was referred. to the spe cial garbage committee for investiga tion. • What's the Levee For? Attention was called to the warehouse on the levee formerly occupied. by the St. Paul & : Minneapolis -Packet com pany being used to store hay in. This, it was stated, had caused the insurance companies to cancel insurance, on steam boats *in the habit of lying near the warehouse. Owing to" ordinances passed by the council from time to time there is now only a strip of land fitty six feet in width which can be used for the landing of freight and passengers except the 100 feet used by the Diamond Jo line, and this cannot be. used owing to the location of the r Bethel boat. George Ha\s, master of "si steam boat, signed the petition, and asked that the council take such action as would re store the levee to its former condition. The committee on streets will investi gate. •■"..'•'■-.■';•'.'.•■'.-- •' The resolution passed by the board of aldermen appropriating j-500 to 'the committee from commercial bodies to advertise the city was sent, to tire com mittee on ways and means. ;. . . .The amendment to the bicycle ordi nance limiting the , rate of speed' to eight miles per hour was passed under .a suspension of the rules. The same action was taken on the ordinance in troduced by Aid. Warren and passed by the board of aldermen, making the dis trict in the vicinity of Coiuo park a pro hibitive one for saloons. - -■ * * ; Police Are Too Busy. The mayor was directed to appoint six men at -*50 a month to assist in the capture of unlicensed dogs. These men are in addition to the live men with teams at §3 per day who are also to be appointed by the mayor. It was the understanding that patrolmen were to be detailed for the work, but this the mayor refused to do for the reason that it would cripple the force. Mr. Doran said in a resolution that the arch at Third and Cedar streets was an obstruction to travel and to the pav ing ot the street. The corporation at torney was directed to report as to why the structure was allowed to obstruct the street. .-.-- •.. ..;■„. The resolution ordering $3,000 paid to the Bethel association on the free bath contract was adopted. The ways and means committee's from both branches of the council were instructed to report if any part of the ?10,000 which the council has authority to spend in any year to advance the best interests of the city can be used to repair the Robert street bridge. - •• An ordinance was passed making the license fee for the Metropolitan aud Grand §50 per year, and for.the Olym pic ?25 per year. The resolution ordering the Milwau kee road to fence their tracks from Western avenue to the city limits was adopted. A preliminary order for the grading of Rondo street between Western : and St. Anthony avenues was passed. The board of public works was di rected to advertise for bids and award contract for the repaying and putting down of new sidewalk on the Robert street bridge. 7 y' : ';•*- Pay the Money Back.

The comet in the noi them sky is nightly growing brighter, and may now •readily be seen with the naked eye, and is brilliantly discernible with the ordi nary telescope. It is generally agreed . among astronomers that it is approach ing the earth and moving from the sun, so that within a week it will have at tained to such brilliancy as to be not only readily visible, but actually con spicuous in the heavens. Prof. Payne, says of.it:. * . , . "Since discovery the comet has been increasing rapidly in brightness, until now it is an interesting object for naked eye observation. Monday evening the sKy was covered with clouds, and no observation could be had of it at Good .sell observatory. Tuesday evening it was easily found in the twilight in the northwestern sky, at about 9 o'clock, by the aid of the held glass, and very easily seen at that time with the. naked eye. The head of the comet was in line with two small stars known as Kappa and lota, of Ursa Major, ami about three .degrees south and east of the former star. The tail extended upward from the horizon almost perpendicularly, and could be traced by the naked eye about Lb degrees. The narrowest part of the tail-was behind the head,, and it grad ually widened as it extended further away, but the outlines were not well defined. The head was quite circular, the nucleus bright and nearly central, with respect to the surrounding nebu losity. .... "Dr. H. C. Wilson obtained two photographs at 10 o'clock, one with a small camera and the other by the aid of an eight and a quarter-inch telescope. -They were both excellent. One shows much interesting detail in the structure of the tail that was not seen so well in the telescope. On the photographic plate il looks more like a bundle of sep arate streamers than a single uniform straight train, just behind the head, on each side of the main train, a nar row long streamer is seen, the two mak ing different small angles with the main axis of the tail. No streamers are noticed in the' direction of the sun. The divided, or multiple fila meuta of the tail, some* of- which are slightly curved, form a most iuter- . eating feature in this comet. The ap parent activity of its nucleus possibly promises something interesting to ob servers in the near future. The motion of the comet in three days has been 1 h and 14 mm in right ascension eastward and southward in declination 3 ueg and 20 mm. The rapid motion indicates that the comet probably is -not far away., lt is moving away from the sun, but prob ably approaching the earth.' It is not now known whether the comet is new or old. The question will be settled very soon when enough observations have been secured .to determine .its 0rbit.'.' ... ... ..,,.„.. * , ,.,,; y... {^yy7 Steamer and Traveling Caps 15c. • All wool and silk-lined, with ' satin, tenuis stripes, checks, mixtures, etc. Regular price 75c, our red-figure mark down price to close only 15 cents.

The board of education budget which wad referred to a special joint commit tee from the council was taken in hand by the committee yesterday afternoon. The board this year asks for $444,010, about $0,000 less than was allowed them ast year. Mr. Reardon called the atten tion of the committee to the fact that the report showed the number of teachers at each school, but omitted the names of the janitors and the compensation they received. President Smith, of the school board said he was going to leave the city, but would see. that the list of janitors was furnished the committee, In a general discussion which followed Mr. Smith said none of the salaries had been increased except the teachers' iv the grade schools. Last year he said he opposed the amount called for in the budget • because, he thought.it was too large. This year he was in favor of the amount asked for. The salaries of the principals had been reduced and the salaries of the teachers in the high school cut down. If the council said so the amount could be reduced, but the schools could not be run as at present on less money. In answer to a question of Mr. Johnson he said, in his opinion, all of the supervisors mentioned in the schedule were needed. Mr. Johnson said the school board was not a repre sentative body and the council was. The people did not approve of the supervisors, and for " this reason he had sooken about them. Mr. Doran said*, there were . five supervisors at $1,800 each, and one each at $1,000 and $1,:"50. Mr. Smith explained tnat the salaries of the supervisors had been re duced from $2,000 to $1,800. and at the request of Mr. Reardon said their duties were to instruct the teachers at the various schools. The salaries of the teachers, he thought, had been a little higher thau in other cities, but according to the new schedule were about the same. He was of the opinion that there should not be any radical reform in the reduction of sal aries, and did not approve of the Min neapolis plan of three or four high schools. The meeting adjourned after directing that the secretary of the school board furnish the committee with a list showing the number of janitors, where employed aud the compensation they received. : ■ ■- .- Outing Caps. - Yacht.

Even the gilt trim mings on the caps of her officers look dingy and moth-eaten, as* though dis couraged with decay of nautical prosperity at Minuetonka. .*.. ' j But the. steamer wheezed and groaned her way through the trip to Spring 'Park and back -to the Hotel Lafayette, where the Commercial .club was to.en tertain its guests -during the afternoon and evening, giving the few passengers by the early train an opportunity to see the cottages on 'the shores, the 'Her mitage,' Crane /island and such /few points as have grown interesting by the lapse of; years and the evolution of tradition. -.' j - At 3 o'clock: the steamer landed her cargo of human freight at Hotel Lafa yette.

White, an .intelligent but feeble old man of over seventy years, and who has a record of nine years as surgeon in the United States navy, occupied quarters in the 'county jail last night in default of r **soo bail to appear ' before the federal court that meets in Minneapolis- next September. The old gentleman is under indictment for sending an obscene letter through tim mails to the famous Corporal fan ner.- Dr. White was arrested iii Illinois by" Frank Hitchcock, marshal for the northern district of that state, and brought to this city by-Deputy' United States . Marshal * George : * ; Q. Al ien and turned over to Marshal "if." C.- Donahower. The : old man : is accused of making • rather pointed and • vtilgiir answers to a list of questions Sent him by Commissioner of Pensions Green B. Raum. . In his "answers to the questions on the blank he stated that he is single but had /been intimate with a number of women, but he could not divine what that has to do with the act of / 1890 which provides for a pension for disability. He also conveyed the information that he had replied to the .same list of questions; seven' times. In Conclusion he stated that his increase of pension could be allowed or disallowed, , but In any event the commissioner, to whom he applied an insulting remark, might seek the fiery lake spoken of by i\ie preachers. The letter f was mailed Corporal James Tanner, who turned IV over to the authorities, and the old man was* inflicted. ' J i" Dr. Wliite was an inmate of the- Sol diers' home near FortSnelling when he wrote the letter,and when he submitted it to the superintendent it was allowed to pass. He was admitted to • the home from Le Sueur county in November, -ISS& During the spring he wanted to be appointed on the board of trustees -of -the home, and had. an interview with ffiov. Nelson, to whom he * mad* j claim that at least one Democrat ought to be ' named on the board. He was finally put off toy the. governor,- who wanted ■ to* produce -recommendations for the position. The -recommendations were not produced, and he was not ap . pointed. In March last he drew several hundred dollars, and was j-, lven a leave of absence from the home, and has not been there since. /He says he. has a brother and other friends in Le Sueur county, but declined to bother them by sending for them to go on his bond. * Marshal Donahower was very kind to the old man and allowed him to lie on the comfortable, lounge in his office /until nearly 5 o'clock last evening.when he asked the old fellow what he wanted to eat, and making known his desires for a bill of fare, including strawberries, the marshal directed Deputy. Gooduer ..-. to see that the old man got what, he wanted and then to taite him to the jail, where the marshal. had made arrange ment for comfortable quarters in the boys' ward, and where he will have • room to walk about some. ■ •' '"*' v During the day the old gentleman was communicative and spoke in Eng lish, French and Latin with persons who happened in and were desirous of finding out something of his; life and at tainments. ' '--■ - 7 It was learned v 'that his early home was in Delhi county. New York. He was a schoolmate with Roscoe Conklin, -and has now -in his possession an inter esting letter from that distinguished gentleman. At the breaking out' of tne war he says he wanted to enter the .Union. army, and .as;. he was on the wrong side of the fence to get a 7 com mission be enlisted as a private in the One Hundred arid Second Pennsylvania infantry. A short time after *he was in a hospital, and interfered with the hos pital surgeon, who was about to perform i an operation for a slight wound. ■ Dr. White was told to do the job 'himself,' if he knew better. The 1 surgeon was sur prised when told by Dr.- White that he did know better than to do as was about to be done, and, taking* the patient, ho ] treated the wound in 'a way that* sur •prised the regular -surgeon.'- He' was soon after examined by. the proper board and commissioned as second as sistant surgeon in the. United ; States 'navy, and served over nine years in that -Capacity, part of the time on the two flagships Norfolk and Cu'yler..' ; .- - '-" His present difficulty was alluded to yesterday and he was asked -if . he- was "mot sorry he had written the : letter. -Striking his leg with more emphasis j .than seemed "probable trom his feeble Condition he said with strong emphasis. •*'* 4 No, sir! 1 would "do the. same thing ? again. I was goaded into it. I would , - ; - probably slop Over worse the next time." //-// .. : ; 0 Just prior to this outburst Marshal • Bonahower was,; talking to him about "'"his life and experiences when he said in l! fj philosophical reflective mood, "That -jp'art of heaven within me called con science approves" In* the main what I 1 -'nave done in my history. / If I bad.ray ! Rfc to live over again I could not change ) -ft as far. as I could see, and would prob l ably slop over more often" than 1 have." It is thought that- the friends of the , I old man will appear today and give bail for his appearance for trial. ~ He is about seventy-three years 7 old and has but a short time to live. The offense with which he is charged .has a .penalty-at tached of : not less than a year in the penitentiary and a fine not -exceeding §5.000. In speaking of' the -letter,'- lie -said -that it was not sent to Commis sioner Raum, but to Corporal '-Tan ner, who was his attorney, and he only designed the ■ letter to be seen by him so that he might know how indignant he was at being: importuned' to answer questions that he bad • answered several times before. /;;.';//.:;'/ '''..:'< V *i? i Will They Never* Learn ?
