The council gas committee has de cided not to ora er any gas or electric light extension until summer, and thoro ly to check up the gas ligh ts against which complain ts have been common.

The gas inspector has been ordered to do more careful work. will report independently on ligh ts and in case his leports show any patrolman to have been negligent, that policeman will get a vacation. this means the publ ic will have better lights or the council committee will get larger rebates and a check will be kept on the faithfulness of the patrolmen. Wednesday night Alderman Walker found, in one block, eight gas ligh ts and one electric light out. The gas lamps had not been lighted at all. A mid night they were still out. A few nights before Mr. Walker found twen tv-five lights burning with such de fective mantles, or with such poor ad justment that practically no illumination resulted. Tt is believed that one cause of the troub le is the inability or incapacity of the lamp lighters. The mantle burners are supposed to save $3 a \ear in gas consumed, but the lights cost $10.10 additional apiece a year.

A verdict for $50, the amount paid for tuition, has been returned by the jury in the case of Lizzie Whiting of North Da kota, against Jennie Buchane, proprietor of the Northwestern Dressmakers' school, 728 Hennepin avenue. A stay of judg ment was granted and an appeal may be taken. Miss Whiting claims that she was in duced to come to Minneapolis by prom ises that were not kept. The decision will relieve various phil anthropists and institutions for the pro tection of young women, of embarrass ment. Numerous complaints have come to them of Mme. Buchane's methods, and their aid has been requested in recovering money paid to her.

A jury in municipal court has ftnjnd Thomas Morrow, a special officer charged with embezzlement, not guilty. The evi dence showed that Morrow had collected $3 from a man named Case who lived on the beat where he as employed by John Hannon, but Morrow claimed that he previously resigned from Hannon's employ and had told Case that he was conducting the beat on his own respon sibility. The jury believed this and as Case said that the money paid to Morrow was not intended to be paid to Hannon, there appeared to be no conversion of an other's property. Morrow is now conducting the beat on his own behalf and has secured the pat ronage of several residents. BROAD WAIST POPULAR Women Are Going I for Comfort Nowadays. New York Press. This is the hour of the woman with the twenty-two-inch waist. Take up any fashion plate of two years ago and compare it with a fashion plate of 1905. Note the broadening of the waist line. Every artic le of dress from the girdle to the gathered skirt and the pleated over jacket, has a tendency to make the waist look big. Broad sashes and girdles extending almost to the bust line certainly give the effect of a big ger waist than did the narrow bel t, which we pulled down in to a pin point as far as it would go. Full blouses, big sleeves and pleated skirts all enlar ge the appearance of the figure, so iat the waist has to be let out in order to be in proportion with the rest of the woman. I is a glorious moment for the health culturists, and it is a magnificent chance for the girl who abominates stavs to fling her corsets in the trash bag. Dame Fashion must be getting old, since she is going in for comfort instead of for beauty. She has stopped doing so many reckless things that she did in her youth. She has stopp ed dye ing her hair, pinching her feet, wearing her hat on one side, an d, best of all, she has done away with her wasplike waist and her ironbound corset, every steel of which was a big nail in the fashionable woman's coffin. All hail! the girl of the twenty-two-inch waist. There has been much curiosity as to the origin of the name "cocktail." A last some one has come forward with an answer to this question which may be pure invention or truth, but at anv rate sounds plausible. I the early I street, days, when doctors used 'strenuous methods and medicin es in the cure of disease, there was a habit among them of treating certain diseases of the throat with a pleasant liquid which was applied by the tip of a long feather plucked fr om a cock's tail.

WANTS TO KNOW ALLABOUT 'HARRY' NEW YORK WOMAN WRITES TO MAYOR JONES. Says It Is "Urgent" tfcat She Learn "at Once" Whether the Notorious Silberberg Was Married and Divorced Harry, Meanwhile, Denounces the American Police System. Mayor Jones has been asked to write an essay on the doings of Harry Sil berberg, alias Carlisle, for the benefit of a young woman of New York city, who declares she must know his complete history immediately. I her lett er received today she asks if "Harry" as really bad or the vic tim of circumstances. She especially desires to know whether he was mar ried when here and if a divorce was ever obtaine d. She assures the mayor that the case is "urgent" and that a reply is wanted "at once." The mayor said he would not attempt to decide as to Silberberg's guilt or in nocence, but would send copies of the papers and let her form her own con clusions. I closing she asked the mayor to keep her name secret and the stationery, handwriting and phraseology of the letter would indicate that she be longs to the better class. The letter sugges ts to the Minneapol is police that maybe "Harry" has "something else up his sleeve." Silberberg I Angry. Silberberg, who was recently re leased from custody in New York city, does not li ke the American police sys tem of hounding men with bad records. I a long interview in a New York paper he asks the question: "Can a man with a 'past' have a fair chance to reform under the present police sys tem, or is he to be hounded and the publ ic told of his misdeeds every time success is near? I a word, is the man to be prevented fr om making an honest living?" N matter what may have been Sil berberg's past, his rece nt experiences in New York when he was arrested, thrown in to jail his picture taken for the rogues' gallery, and every large city in the United States invited to fur nish a charge against him, when in re ality there was not a thing standing in the criminal courts of the countrv against him, seems to afford a ground for complaint. claimed that he was engaged in New York on a legitimate undertaking and that his arrest and de tention have spoiled Bis prospects. "The New York system is brutal as compared, with that of anv city in Eu- rope," said Silberberg. ''In England, a man who has once been convict ed of crime and has paid the penalty, is no longer treated as a criminal, and it is against the law to parade his criminal record either in conversation or in the public press. I France and Germany it is the same, and altho a man may be shadowed by a detective and even sa luted by his* real name by the officer, he is not molested further unless he has actually committed some crime. Different in New York. "How different fr om the ways in Europe are the practices of New York detectives, which is the system fol lowed by most American police forces. Here a man is arreste d, thrown in jail, held on suspiqion^ until the officers are satisfied that he is all right. They never think how" sierious this may be to any legitimate? len^erprjae1 "Headquarters" the man may have in hand.' Silberberg *s interview gives a nega tive answer to the question he has pro pounded and seems to indicate that it is impossible for a man with a "past" to live it do wn under police surveil lance. takes up his own criminal record, which he explains at length and tries to make light of it. claims that there was nothing criminal in his mas querading under the name of Cole man Drayton, inasmuch as his signature C. Drayton, he claims, was for Cunnyngham Drayton and was not a forgery. Commenting on Silberberg's state ment, Police Commissioner McAdoo of New York said: I have read the article with a good deal of interest and have no hesitation in say ing that Silberberg is altogether the most interesting man of his kind who has been under arrest at these headquarters since I came to the office. I have no doubt that one of his strong est cards is his apparent frankness and a certain tone of sincerity, and that when he tells his story in a soft and modulated voice it is well calculated to get sympa thy, especially from women. When a man has wandered far on a crooked road the only way to retrieve himself is to go back to the parting of the ways and begin all over again on a. straight line, no matter how hard and dif ficult it may be. Easy times, easy money and easy ways on Easy street are not the way to re forms. A man with faked-up and coun terfeit credentials and manufactured evi dence of his own respectability is not en titled to sympathy. The credulity and weakness of the large number of victims of people of the Silberberg type ma ke necessary the vigilance of the police. After the newspaper advertising he has secured, if he were a woman, he would go on the stage to help art possibly, in this case, it will not get beyond the usual offers of marriage. I is considered possible that the woman who has written to Mayor Jones is of the class mentioned in Commis sioner McAdoo's last remark. 4 -Size Collars, 15c. 2 for 25c.

"The state board of control has oiN dered several state institutions to grow willow to be used for baskets, and the first experiment has proved successful," said Gustav Kuestermann of Green Bay. "There is no reason why the state in mates cannot grow enough willow for all the baskets that can be made at the state workshop for the bli nd on Vilet That institution is yet in its infancy, and all willow has been bought at high prices. I is brought here from sever al European countries. The first season it grows three or four feet, and after that it will grow six feet high in long slender shoots. The cost of rais ing it and caring for it is almost noth ing. The only work is in the cutting. I is planted in long rows, and should be as profitable as anything that can be planted upon the ground. When enough of the willow is raised" for the use of the blind they will be able to make mu ch more, or the cost of running the workshop will be less. I costs 7 or 8 cents a pound now, whereas it will cost only a fraction of that when grown at home." "Lead pipe will keep your razor sharp," says an experienced barber. "Get a short piece of the smallest, softest lead pipe your plumber has in stock and keep it handy when you are stropping the razor. The scheme is to rub the strop with the pipe. Apply the pipe, just as you would strop the razor, to the unfinished side of the leather. Strop your razor on that side, wind up with a few passes on the finished side of the strop, and you will have a first- claBS edge on the tool. %*a SON FINDS FATflEB DEAD END GAME SUDDENLY TO ROBERT A.

MORE COE ASSETS WERE FODND TODAY A new asset of the Coe Commission company came to light today when the Security bank announced that it had $1,110 to the credit of the defunct com panv instead of the $60.28 shown in the first statement of assets. The company's books showed the smaller amount as when checks were drawn they were at once credited on the company's books. Many of these checks were not presented until after the collapse, and while the holders of the checks will be out, the creditors will gain. Receiver Thomas Salmon said o day that there is a possibility/that a similar condition of affairs may exist at oth er places and that possibly the cash in assets may be increased. SWIFT TELLS A. F. OF ABOUT MILL ROYCOTT By W. W. Jermane. Washington. March 17.The execu tive council of the American Federation of Labor had the Minneapol is flour mill boycott up for consideration for a short time late yesterday afternoon, when John Swift of Minneapolis ap peared before the council to explain his attitude and to defend himself fr om charg es that he declared the boycott was unwarranted. Mr. Swift declared he wanted to set himself right before the American Fed eration of Labor and that what he had said Was simply as an individual and not as a member or an officer of the federation or any branch of it. Beyond hearing Mr. Swift's state ment, there was no disposition of the case which has agitated Minneapol is lab or circles. I is expect ed that the legislative council will give the case full consideration today and possibly a decision may be announced tonight. BEAT DUMBBELL RECORD American Puts I 16,000 Times in Less than Three Hours. Brooklyn Eagle. A American, Anthony McKinley, has made a remarkable showi ng with dumbbells in Belfast, Ireland. On Monday afternoon Anthony Mc Kinley gave another proof of his re markable staying powers and endurance handling dumbbells. gave the exhibiti on in the billiard room of the Boyd Arms hotel with a twelve pound one and one-fourth ounce dumbbell, shoulder to arm's length above should er, one hand, and succeeded in putting it up 16,000 times in two hours, fifty seven minutes and fifty seconds, at the rate of ninety times per minute, regu lar thruout, with one or two over every time after the counter calleadm outn,t and often more.t The dumbbell was weighed at starti nng and finishing in the presence a iv a "wtugh oust tota 172,547 pound s. The previous best with this weight, a twelve-pound dumbbell, was by A. Corcoran of Chicago, which was also the greatest total weight ever Put up. when, on Oct. 4, 1873, he put it up 14,000 times, time not stated, or a total weight of 150,000 pounds. I the course of business certain Lon don banks have occasion to send out large sums in gold coin to China. N sovereigns, however, will be accepted which have the familiar St. George and the Dragon on the reverse side. The dragon plays a leading part in religious matters in China, and its figure on the coin is abhorrent to the celestial min d. The London consignees have, therefore, to pick out the older coins having a shield on the reverse side, for transmis sion to the east, and these are now con sequently becoming very scarce, only about five in 1,000 remaining in general circulation in England. A English newspaper says that a schoolmaster was in the habit of punish ing scholars who came late, to school in the morning by keeping them in in the afternoon. One who was five minutes late was kept in ten minutes, and so on in proportion. One morning it chanced that the schoolmaster was half an hour late., and a smart boy among his pupils was not slow to remind him of the, fact. "I'm very sorry for being late, boys," said the schoolmaster, with a twinkle in his eye, and as I punish you, it's only fair that you in turn should me, so you will all stay and keep me in for an hour this afternoon*" March 17,^1905.^ '**&-**?&$ \W W\ Umbrellas "What use isitnow"thiaks th Manthan ha wishes ha had gone to Doctor Gamossi.
