dd-& Ad SAYS IT IS VALID. JUDGE. OTIS SUSTAINS THE LAW. OF JSy:t REGARDING SIDEWALK REPAIRS. HENRY THIERS- LIGHT FINE. HE HAD TO PAY 'JjStOO FOR KEEP ING A DISORDERLY HOUSE. v - >• » - THE. ELY-. CLOTHING STORE CASE. It • Occupies the Present Attention of Judge Willis and a Jury. Judge. Otis yesterday filed a decision in which he upholds the constitution ality of 'the law of 189*3, providing that .no petition is necessary for the relay ing or repairing of a sidewalk. This decision was in the nature of an order overruling the objections of -David J. Hennessy to - the -application for judg ment for sidewalk assessments against lots 1 and 30, block 4, Summit Park ad dition. In the memorandum attached to his order Judge Otis says: Under the 'Bell charter of IS9I no improve-, ment in the. nature of grading streets or lay-" Ing out of new sidewalks could be ordered except upon petition of one-third of the prop erty owners fronting on the proposed im provement. By chapter 214, laws of 1893, an act was passed which, if valid, does away, with this requirement in case of recon struction of a sidewalk of the same or dif ferent material, and of this character was the improvement in question, for which there was no petition. - .????• It is strenuously insisted that this act of IS9S is unconstitutional within the rule laid down In "Alexander vs. City of Duluth, 57 Minn.. 47. It. was there held that any act which adopts and extends existing special legislation to another and new class of cases is itself special legislation. Ido not think this act in question is obnoxious to the ob jection urged. . Taken up by its four cor ners and. sifted,. It simply provides that here after in no city of the state shall a petition be required for the repair or reconstruction of sidewalks, whether of the same or differ ent material. _ , t , A . , ........ In no other way is existing legislation, general or special, in any manner affected, but the same remains precisely a3 before. No existing special legislation is thereby ex tended to a new matter. With respect to a petition, it puts all cities on a common fopt ing and makes the practice uniform through out the state. ..It, as. counsel claims, in all cities except St. Paul the law was that no petition was required, the act simply serves to extend this provision of the lav/ over this city as well, and, in that respect is valid and within the rule laid down in the case of the State ex rcl. Baker vs. Sullivan, 64 N. W. Rep., 813. This rule is decisive of the case. But I feel quite clear that the Improvement here made was more in the nature of relaying an old sidewalk than constructing a new one, and that even within the Bell charter of 1891 no petition therefor was necessary. Hav ing in mind the evils the provision requiring a petition was intended to meet and the re curring use of the words "constructing, re laying and repairing" of sidewalks, I think by a new sidewalk, as . here used, .reference was had as to the places where before there were no sidewalks at all. erect* a house un the site of one partially or wholly destroyed or removed, it is said to be a rebuilding, whether he uses the same or different material. But a new house is in general one erected where none before stood, and it is in this sense that the . words "improvement in the nature of laying a new sidewalk" are used. GOODS WERE GONE. .

Yezner, the Ely merchants charged with grand larceny, in the. first, degree for having fraudulently obtained large- quantities of goods from- St. Paul firms, are" on trial before Judge Willis and a jury. It is claimed that these individuals obtained by false pretenses goods to the amount of $12,000 in the aggregate from St. Paul,-* -Minneapolis and St. Louis firms, the principal houses in this city that were involved being Mc- Kibbin & Co., Guiterman Brothers, Henry S. Sternberg, Sommers & Co., and. Kellogg, Johnson & Co. The in dictment on which they are on trial was returned on the complaint of Mc- Kibbin & Co. that goods to the value of $745 had been secured from the firm on false representations by Kaufman and Yezner regarding the condition of their business. Another indictment was granted on complaint of Guiter man Brothers. It Is alleged that about a year ago the defendants made to an agent of the Fifield Mercantile agency a state ment to the effect that their assets were reasonably worth $10,000, of which $7,500 was merchandise on hand, $650 book accounts, $1,700 Kaufman's house In St. Paul, and $250 store fixtures and other property, while their liabilities did not exceed $4,200. Of the liabili ties, $3,500 was in open accounts, not yet due, for merchandise purchased, and a $700 mortgage on the real estate to D. H. Michaud. Their annual sales were . $12,000, * expenses* not to exceed $1,600, and their stock was insured for $2,000. ? ■■'".": <??:?:• -d--dr---d-d^y On the strength of this statement the goods were sold in September, but when a representative of Sommers & Co. went up there in November, he found that the actual liabilities of the . firm were $6,800, instead of $4,200. They had shipped to one Bjornstadt, at Vir ginia, $1,800 worth of the goods and had paid cash to one Isaac Jacobs to the amount of something like $1,000. They told Sommers that the goods had been shipped to Bjornstadt and the cash paid to Jacobs In the liquidation of debts, but It Is claimed by the people who are prosecuting the case that the defendants were simply In collusion with a band* of swindlers, who were making it a business to prey, on the jobbers and then' ship the goods from hand to hand so that all track of them would be lost.

Address at the First Baptist Church Maws Meeting. - * - A small audience gathered at the First Baptist church on East Ninth street last night * and listened to . a number of -addresses upon the r ques tion of municipal reform. The meet ing was held under the auspices of the Christian Citizenship league. W. L. Wilson, -. president . of that organiza tion, presided. The programme as originally planned was not carried out owing to the fact that the majority of those put down for speeches failed to appear? ; "7. ?., ? .- .After an invocation by ; Rev. W. B. Millard; '-, -President Wilson s called upon Rev. J. W. Conley, of the First Bap tist church. He called attention to the fact that municipal government was the greatest "question 5 of the day. In America such a large proportion of the people are located in the cities that the results of municipal elections are indicative of the outcome in na tional elections. The weal or woe of America, . therefore, rests with . the cities, and it is a deplorable fact that they are all so. poorly conducted. We have the worst governed cities in the world. The reason is . that we have grown so rapidly that all our energy has been expended in building up in stead of reforming. The speaker then turned his attention to local reform. He said' he was thankful that the authorities . had closed the jjj Tremont exchange and Brunswick; : but he be lieved there was still gambling going on here. He' knew of saloons that were selling lottery tickets. ?3§"*|g John O'Brien said he wanted to be one of those in favor of municipal re form. He did not take a gloomy view of St. Paul's condition. It's career has been a successful one. It is one of the few cities that has not passed through an epoch of boodlelsm; the debts it has have been made honestly and through no criminality of the authori ties. While he considered It above the average morally, he knew that many evils existed.- "But," said he, "you must not lay all blame to. the authori ties; you are not yourselves blameless. What one of you, if you were to step into the position of the chief of police or mayor, would inaugurate Immediate reform?"* ;. ? ; ? -.■--. ;■•■ ■'-_ $ The speaker then called attention to the fact that a public officer must be governed by what the" people dictate. '.'We must not expect them to institute immediate reform," said he. "Two mayors have tried to revolutionize things here. Fifteen years ago Mayor O'Brien, a Democrat, tried It, and he made himself unpopular. Then you all know the - history of Mayor Wright's administration. He tried to make an immediate reform; he did just what he was elected to do, but even his own party failed to renominate him. I am as zealous in the cause of municipal re form as any man living, but I deplore radicalism? We must get at the cause of government by reforming the people? We must carry on an .educational campaign and remember that there are respectable citizens who? honestly and "conscientiously believe that a city can not be run * successfully without these evils. They- believe a reformed city will be a dead city. Thus it holds that all these things must be considered in judging the course of the actions and policies of municipal authorities." Rev. Mr. Millard said he wanted to heartily indorse Mr. O'Brien's remarks. He believed the duty of the Christian people of St. Paul was to carry on an educational campaign, - teaching the people that piety and sobriety will make happy citizens. He then introduced resolutions ? condemning 7 all 7 forms of evil that may. exist in the city and ex pressing gratitude to the .mayor and chief of police for ' the , recent closing of gambling resorts. . . The " resolutions were adopted. . . RETURNED FROM ROME.

' .( -■; HEARTS, DOVES AND CUPIDS WILL TODAY SUBORDINATE THE POSTAL SERVICE TO ARTIST IC LOVE MAKING ' WHILE THE SMALL BOY'S PENNY Will Make Misery for His Big Sis ter's Fellow and Others Who -' Have Wronged Him. If Mayor Smith should publicly con fess that he had received' this morn ing? a heart-shaped missive of blue paper bearing "ROBERT" in gold let ters, very, pretty, . every . ward would quote, in gasping horror,, from "Chim mie Fadden." But only a few years ago— ln 1667 Samuel Pepys, far more dignified than an American mayor, be ing a sort of assistant secretary of the navy under ; Charles 11. , took a staid and respectable pleasure in re cording that he had received such a remembrance, from a lady 7 friend, whose "valentine" he was. Nor did that fact arouse the jealousy of Mistress Pepys. She, instead, had her valentine, a young gentleman condescendingly known as "little Will Moore." Twelve months later says Pepys, "I am. this year my wife's valentine, and it will cost me five pounds. But," added the sagacious Samuel, "that amount I must have laid out, even if we had not been valentines." What a triple triumph, unknown to modern degen eracy, of . flirting romance, connubial harmony, and discreet economy! Val entine's day was then observed by a universal lottery, wherein pert misses and majestic grandmothers, hungry school boys and retired gen erals, confessed that the felicity of love-making atoned for its fatuity. In every social circle the men and wom en would draw lots. Each sex would draw the names of: the other. He would be her val entine,- she his. But, although the courtesy was equal, and each person had thus two valentines, the secret of a "double life" had not yet been solved by Chicago. Rather than have two lady loves, a man would cling to the one whose name he had drawn himself. The obligation was aften as expensive as the "unsolicited honors" of him who falls nowadays into "the hands of his friends." Mistress Stew art once became the valentine of the Duke of York, whereupon he sent her a ring .valued at $4,000. Even that prudent lover Pepys, again becoming his wife's valentine in 1668, presented her ; with a ring displaying a "turkey stone set with diamonds." But, ob serves that model husband, "It's fit the wretch 'should have something to console herself with." . 7 Yet since Ben Franklin's patriarchal almanac has been supplanted by the giddy creations of Ayer and Hostetter, since Shakespeare can see no wives not born in Paris, p husbands ': have ceased to find their valentines at home. The district telegraph boy now conducts an all the year lottery much more alluring than that 7of the venerable Roman saint, .who. was beheaded In the third century, and who never saw a chorus girl in ; his life. 7 The decadence of the old-time valentine customs probably dates from Feb. ,14, 1779. On this day a jovial feast was celebrated in the Sandwich islands. The "nut brown maydes" had drawn that morning a val entine as sweet and handsome as he was good and brave. His name was Capt. Cook, and his blushing valentines received him" with open mouths and titillated palates. He was served as a roast in his own gravy. '? Since then the insignia of the day have become : more anatomical. The valentine offerings during the present century abound with blood and cica trices. For many years no valentine has evolved emotion which did not show forth roses of the deepest scarlet, gladiatoral short swords effectively penetrating the right auricle and the left ventricle of hearts swollen to the point of fatty degeneration. J The mottoes accompanying these gory exhibits might all have been translated from a first Latin book, and that historic con jugation wherein every little boy and every small girl asserts that they love the world and are loved, in all possible situations, by the remainder of the uni verse. : '.;:?:?';? Of recent years attempts have been made to improve upon the Sandwich Island Romulus and Remus valentine. Manifold layers of stiff paper cut to shreds and ready to rip down the mid dle before a love lorn sigh have been offered to young persons with queer sensations as ."art valentines" of "Pa risian 7 lace . paper." - The stores dispose of them at incredible prices — $1 apiece — and the recipients look at the Imported . labels and try. to believe ' they've "got a valentine." But gilt paper with pepper box holes, bare legged Cupids with green hair, lack the old time slaughter-house effect. The anaemic cannot be amorous, even in this end of : the century. And' the successful valentine for ' first experi ments In love is as far removed from the art affair on lace paper as from that disgusting - distortion of a sweet ro mantic custom.the so-called comic val entine? A fashion founded on the poetic conviction that, 'twas in Feb ruary that each little wood bird select ed his mate may be gradually sup planted by the recent custom of floral gifts on Feb. 14, but It can never give way before the ambition of those ' un romantic outcasts who send to a co quettish maid the awful lithograph of a Mrs. Lease, imbibing beer above this Tennysonian couplet: .. - "Young woman, your Inclination to be fast Will bring you to just grief at last."

Foot ner Presiding. ? ' ? This seems to be a Royal Arcanum year so • far '-• as secret ' and - fraternal societies go. * Never before in the his tory of this order in Minnesota has there been so general and active an interest manifested as has been in evidence since the meeting of the grand council in Minneapolis last March. Early in the council year Grand Re gent Hunt urged the councils of the state -to increase their : membership to 3,500 before the meeting of the grand council at the Ryan hotel, in this city, on the 24th of next month. ' This has been the "slogan of all the councils.and, though the number has already been reached, there has been no abatement of interest or enthusiasm. On the contrary, it seems to have very large ly increased. This has been partly due to. a promised visit of the supreme regent and other members of the su preme council. In connection with this, it is proposed to hold a monster re ception, at which time the eleven councils of the city will present ap plicants to form - a . grand class who would be initiated by the supreme of ficers of the order. Up to Jan. 1 the various councils in itiated their own candidates, but since that date they have been collecting candidates for- ; the grand initiation, and already have approximately 300 on file, nearly one-third of which were contributed by one council. This "en tire number, however, cannot be pre sented for initiation at the monster meeting which occurs next Monday night, owing to the fact that much time. is required to thoroughly examine them. In the course of procedure the applicant is firat examined by the lo cal physician, Who forwards the pa pers to the grand medical examiner in Minneapolis. This gentleman passes upon every Item, and frequently is obliged to return . the papers for fur ther information. In extreme cases the papers are sent to the medical ex aminer in chief at Philadelphia. ? A visit to the office of Dr. S. M. Spaulding yesterday disclosed the fact that he had a pile of applications two feet" high t, and, though he was work ing day and night on them, he was scarcely able to keep pace with the new applications that were pouring in on him. A" conservative estimate places the St. Paul figure at 150, while Minneapolis ? will do almost as well. Most extensive preparations have been' made' and the event promises to be a notable one? The candidates of each council will be furnished with a badge giving the name of the council. The Royal Arcanum headquarters, In Bowlby block, will be especially decor ated for the occasion, and the doors thrown open to the members of the order at 7p. m. The double halls have a seating capacity of only about 800, which is about two-thirds of the mem bership in the city, . consequently the early comer will have the advantage of being able to secure a seat. At 7:30 p. m. the supreme officers will make their appearance, and the impressive services will begin at once. The candidates from the various coun cils will be conducted by their respec tive guides and .ushered in in a body. . At 9:30 p. m. the assemblage will ad journ to the Ryan hotel, and will par take of a banquet, arranged with great elaborateness for the occasion. A , handsome souvenir menu card is in preparation, and already requests for them have been received by mail from members .of the order residing at a distance. ?--??; W. J. Footner, as chairman of the reception committee, will preside at the feast, and af towards .act as toast master. The formal programme Is as follows: - - - . . y'-AA '. Address of Welcome- Prof. J. A.
