"MESSIAH" AT AUDITORIUM
Philharmonics Will Render Handel's Beau
tiful Oratorio To-morrow Night.
The Philharmonic club has established
the custom of giving each season on
Christmas night Handel's wonderful ora
torio, "The Messiah," and to-morrow
night the club, with its magnificent chorus
of 300 voices, augmented by the Minneap
olis Symphony Orchestra.of sixty instru
ments and four soloists, will give its
annual production of this work at the In
ternational Auditorium. The solists en
gaged for this concert are Jennie Osborne
Hannah, who as Jennie Osborne obtained
for herself a most enviable reputation as a
singer in the east. The fact that Mrs.
Alma Porteous will be one of the solists
assures the Minneapolis public that the
contralto part is placed in good hands.
The male voices are exceptionally good.
Arrangements have been made with the
Street Railway company to furnish plenty
of cars. Mr. Savage has changed the
heating arrangements of the auditorium so
that there is every reason to believe that
the hall will be comfortable. The Phil
harmonic club affords the public an ex
ceptionally good opportunity of hearing
"The Messiah" by throwing open at 50
eents practically the entire gallery of the
auditorium.

A Character Often Encountered in
Real Life.
How often we meet the man, cre
ated by Dickens, who was really hap
py only when he was miserable! W e
have all seen him . It is an odd type,
but a useful object-lesson.
H e is encountered in the streets, on
the trains, in business, church, socie
ty and the homeeverywhere the
man whose risibles are tainted with
gall, and whose liver dominates his
heart. His is ever the "m6re wretch
ed than thou" expression and yet he
affects a nonchalance he doesn't feel.
One can admi re his fortitude but must
deplore his wisdom.
H e should have done something, for
it. It was probably indigestion, or
dyspepsia, which would have suc
cumbed to proper treatment. The Mr.
Miserable of to-day has learned to do
things differently.
H e takes Walther's Peptonized Port,
which rectifies organic complaints of
the stomach. It is made of rich port
wine and pure pepsin and tones up
the system by rehabilitating impover
ished nerves, muscles and Wood. A
toniev asvwjell as a food, -founded on
reason and the actual needs of the
body.
I doesn't cure everything, but it
cure all diseases of the stoma ph
and attendant Ills arising from indi
gestion and dyspepsia. For over
worked men, tired women, nursing
mothers, invalids, convalescents arid
old people, 'vjlfc' cotitains no drugs nor
chemicals,'a'ncP is pleasing to the taste.
You'll be better for it. Two sizes, 50

per by E . J. Westlake, secretary of

remember in a substantial way the
street car conductors and motormen
for the twenty-four hours beginning
Christmas eve. Dr. Fielder said:
"I most heartily indorse the sug
gestion and had in mind myself to
see The Journal in regard to a
similar suggestion. I believe it is one
of the most worthy things that has
be en mentioned. W e have a magnifi
cent street car system, and, on the
while, a fine lot of conductors and
motormen, and the public could not
do a more gracious thing than to
remember the men hi the way sug
gested."
Mr. Fielder suggest ed that, the
proposition be given great publicity
and that-to bring the matter correct
ly to the attention of the public it
should be done right on the spot, and,
with the consent of the company,
cards should be placed in the cars
announcing the opportunity.
GOING H6ME TO CHINA
Thirty Retired Chinamen Going to Orient
to Uve. '
Thirty Chinamen that have accumulated
fortunes in this country passed thru Min
neapolis yesterday on their way from Chi
cago and Eastern cities to the Middle
Kingdom. Each of them, having passed
from ten to twenty years in America, was
going home to live upon the money he had
made.
The leader of the party, Charley Lee,
the former owner of a Chinese store at
Elgin, 111., is said to have accumulated
several hundred thousand dollars. H e
said, "Yes, we are going home, for we've
all saved enough to live on comfortably
the rest of our lives. Some of our party
are very rich even according to American
ideas.
"We'll be glad to see our families again.
I have a wife in China that I haven't seen
for eighteen years. A few of us hayen't
any wives but will get married at once
and settle down.
"I like America and I'm rather sorry to
go away my countrymen here haven't
anything to complain of. If they behave
themselvesand most of 'em do, I'm glad
to saythey can succeed very well."
BOARDMAN DENIES STORY
Made No Agreement with Griggs as to
TolesThe Sutherland Matter.
In answer to the charges preferred by a
local paper that he did not keep his word
with Franklin H. Griggs in the. matter of
H. T. Toles' sentence-, and was derelict
in his duty In not putting Alderman O. P.
Sutherland under bonds, County Attorney
Boardman denies that he ever agreed'with
Griggs to get Toles off with a fine. H e
also insists that it is an unheard-of thing
to put a voluntary grand jury witness
under bonds, as it is to be presumed that
the witness will stay and see the case
thru.
Toles was given forty days in jail for
complicity in the assault case on Colfax
avenue, for which J. F Weismiller is serv
ing a term in Stillwater. A secret meet
ing of the board of pardons released Toles
before he had served two weeks of his
sentence. - ,r , .

Night.
C. W. Frieke, who is said to be con
nected with the farriily of a prominent
grain dealer of Minneapolis, was arrested
last night by Detectives Balm and Galla
gher on a charge of forgery. The police
of the twin cities have been looking for
him for several months and have charged
him with a number of forgeries. When
arrested he had on his person a check for
$59, ostensibly signed by C. A. Quist. Sev
eral other bank checks were found in his
pocket. All of these will be examined to l
see if they are genuine. '
Frieke is believed to be the man who
tried to pass one of these Quist checks
upon A. E. Paegel, the Third street jew
eler. Mr. Paegel suggested that he leave
the check, for verification, but the man
demurred.
Frieke waived examination this
morning and was bound over to the
grand jury, bail fixed at $1,000.

Steincrt's Widow Gets Funeral
Benefit from Carpenters.
The famous controversy of the heirs
of Johann Mueller is settled and the
Detroit claimants lose. The supreme
court decided to-day that the burden
of propf was on them to show that the
Detroit Mueller and the Duluth
Mueller were the same person. Tho a
strong similarity was shown, the iden

sively shown. The full title of the
case is:
E. S. Kosmerl, Joseph F. Buh, Nettie L.
Geistahd, Ellen C. Sullivan, plaintiffs, vs.

Order and judgment are affirmed.
A decision of Judge Holt is affirmed
giving the widow of Ferdinand Stei
nert a judgment of $205 against the
tTnited Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners. This was a funeral ben
efit to which Steinert was entitled as
a member of the brotherhood, but it
was contested because Steiner had
violated the rules by going into the
saloon business.

A BIG BUILDING YEAR
Home Building Is Expected to Break All
Records.
Building Inspector James G. Houghton
estimates that the aggregate value of the
new buildings erected in Minneapolis this
year will be about eqaul to last, year's
record. The number of permits issued
will bfe greatly in excess of last year owing
to the unusual activity in building dwell
ing houses. Last year there were issued
3,814 permits, the total cost of the struc
tures aggregating $6,188,218. The dwell
ing house record will even surpass that of
1889, which was the high water mark for a
great many years.

SPECIAL PIANO
Invented for Flat Dwellers I s Only
- Two Feet In Depth..
*: New York Times.
Apartment hou se musicia ns are
having their innings at last. A piano
has be en invented on purpose for
them, and now there is no hall so
small and no stairway so narrow that
the flathouse piano cannot make its
way in, and without injury to itself
or the adjacent walls.
T he new piano is not quite on the
order of. the folding bed, and it is not
yet possible t have a bed, writing
desk, piano and. ornamental piece of
furniture in one, but no house is.too
sma ll to have the piano. - Unmusical
neighbors say, with varying adjec
tives, that there is nothing like it.
The piano for the apartment hou se
musician is small, measuring 4 feet 4
inches in height to 4 feet 7 inches of
an ordinary instrument, and it is 5
feet 2 inches in width. This is a con
cession, but not a great one. The
keyboard, which has the average seven
and one-third octaves, can be discon
nected from the piano with the sup
ports below it, and there is left only
a comparatively sma ll box, which is
handled with ease, and no hall could
balk at the 2 feet 2% inches which is
its depth. .
A s it stands ready made for the pur
chaser the piano Js in one style of ma
hogany, double veneered and simple
in effect. I t is well made, with the
full iron frame, repeati ng action, in -
side metal work nickel plated, etc.,
and since its appearance there has
been a notable increase in musical
feeling in apartment house neighbor
hoods.
Yachts share the advantage of the
small, adjustable pianos, and many of
them are used on pleasure vessels
where it is impossible to get a larger
instrument thru the companionway.
