New York, Dec. 5.—This has been
an unusually busy week, in Wall Street.
Several large corporations have paid
dividends while many others afe sched

A production to which society looks
forward with pnusual interest every
year is the social register. This season
this little book is remarkable chiefly
for the many changes in addresses of
families prominent in the social world..
During the last twelve-month the regis
ter shows 2,245 families have changed
their residences, 549 persons have mar
ried, 232 men and 167 women have died.
This year the register has been extended
to Pittsburg and the southern cities from
Richmond to Atlanta, including Charles
ton, Savannah, Augusta aiid North
Carolina cities.

For one time New York is following
the lead of another city. In this regard
it emulates the example of fashionable
Chicago hotel and restaurant keepers
who have decided to discontinue. music
in their dining rooms. Two or three of
the leading hotels have abandoned 4nusic
in the exclusive dining rooms because
their patrons do not like it. The way
one manager puts it is that people would
rather talk than hear music, which is be
coming vulgar and popular only in sa
loons, so to show that they are not par
simonious restauranteurs are expending
the money paid high-priced orchestras in
rare flowers for table decorations!
It is doubtful if the decision reached
recently by a judge, in thex appellate
court here which enables a man to re
.covcr from a bookmaker money lost
while betting on the' races will have
much effect upon gamblers. It seems to
be natural with men to gamble, says a
man who is famous all over the country
for his connection with the race track
and no laws or decisions will kill gamb

FORMER FARQOAN IN TROUBLE
Lon Roddy Has Been Arrested in Mlnneapal*
on a Serious Charge.
Fargoans remember Alonzo Roddy,
for many years connected with Ehrman's
candy factory. He left Fargo some
years ago for Minneapolis and Friday's
Times contains the following:
Alonzo Roddy, a middle-aged man,
residing at Washington and Eighth
Avenues South, was arrested last night
by Detectives Brown and Crummy on
the charge of arson. •,
It is possible that §^|t)Qjp serious
charge will be made against him later.
The arrest was the result of an in
vestigation by the police and fire de
partments into the circumstances in
connection with the fire at 1001 Wash
ington Avenue South early Wednesday
morning in which William Young, a
colored man, lost his life.
Roddy was Arrested when he was on
his way to visit his wife, who operates
a candy store on one of the buildings
which was damaged by thfe fire.
When the detectives directed him to
accompany ttiefn to the station, he
seized an iron

and struck at them.
The policemen overpowered him and
then he attempted to draw one of the
several razors which he had on his per
son and it was only after a severe
struggle that he was disarmed.
Roddy was arrestexi at the instance
of several colored persons who reside in
the neighborhood of the scene of the
fire. Tne detectives assert they have
found two or three persons who say
they saw and recognized Roddy run
ning away from the scene of the fire
a few minutes before the flames were
discovered. He is well known to the
neighborhood for the reason that, al
though fie and his wife do not live to
gether, lie is a frequent visitor at' her
store.
The police believe that Roddy's mo
tive for firing the store—if he did set
fire to it—was his jdissatisWction with
his relations with his #jfe. It is
claimed he has long beeh trying, to
induce her to live with, hiqi,, and t|ii
man's friends are of the opinion tip!
her refusal to comply with his reqdttt
for a reconciliation has preyed otf Hp

it's.
Already New York" is faking 611"Its
holiday gaity. Many of the stores have
started specia.1 attractions for the chil
dren and the display this season along
this particular line is greater than ever.
One of the large establishments in Her
ald Square has reproduced in wa* all
the famous characters, in the comic sup
plements of the Sunday papers and have
them exhibited in,,the form of living
pictures in an immense window space.
Needless to say that such tableaux are
a great delight to the children and from
the crowds which appear before the
windows daily, it would seem that the
grown-ups enjoy the display as much as
the children. Another store further
down has "Babes in Toyland" which
is a full-fledged dramatic production.
The politicians are getting ready their
measures to be presented in the legis
lature which begins Soon. Local re
publicans have decided that one of the
first matters to be brought to the at
tention of the legislature is the advisa
bility of a change in the law regulating
party primaries, which may give to vot
ers greater liberty in the matter of join
ing political parties. As the law now
stands if a voter declares himself at
the time of registration for his party pri
maries fie cannot legally join any other
party for a year. Legislation is desir
ed which will permit any man to join
any party any time he desires^ with, of
course proper restrictions to prevent
fraud at the primaries.

when he loses and those who try the
"baby act" arc few. Even men who
might be inclined to cry oyer their loss
es will hesitate before exposing them
.selves by going to court and the decis
ion will not be allowed to rest.
Hereafter the newspapers will not be
able to fall back upon the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit when they wish to make
a fight against some defective transpor
tation line. It has just been announced
that the company has completed con
tracts for $10,575,000 worth of improve
ments which include the purchase of
new surface cars and 100 new elevated
cars at a cost of nearly $2,000,000.
It is stated upon good authority that
the August Belmont syndicate which
contracted to build the East River tun
nel will lose $8,000,000 on the job as they
agreed to do the work for $3,000,000
while the tunnel will cost not less than
$11,000,000. The Belmont people, how
ever, claim that they are practically
willing to lose money in the construc
tion of the tunnel for the advantages
they will gain by having control over
it, hence after all wrhat seems a loss to
the general public will turn out a source
of immense profit in the end for the
syrrlicate.
The liquor dealers who took an active
part in the Tammany.campaign are now
trying to ascertain in advance the excise
policy of mayor-elect McClellan. They
have not yet obtained any authorized in
formation, but one of the "tips" or sug
gestions now going the rounds is that it
is to be "chains off," but no growlers
on Sundays. Even now, it is stated, that
saloonmen are growing careless and
dealers generally are of the opinion that
from now on the enforcement of the ex
cise law will be less rigid that
been for the past twelve-month•
About a week ago Roddy appeared
denizens of the locality told to the de
manded several pictures and other ar-^
tides. He .refused to say why he want-r
ed them but, after some parleying, hili
wife allowed him to take them.
The fire was first discovered under
a stairway next to Mrs. Roddy's store,
and it was from this direction that
Roddy was seen running a.w$y» ac
cording to the statements of several of
the residents of the locality. w-
It is probable that Coroner Williams
will hold an inquest over Youngfs re^
mains. The coroner's attention was
called yesterday to some of the cir
cumstances surrounding the man's death,
and he is making an investigation.
That the fire was of incendiary origin
was suspected from the first, but that
injury to Young was intended does not
seem likely.
The object seems to have been rather
the destruction of one or another of the
small stores that front on Washington
Avenue.
It was reported yesterday that Yopiig
left a wife and family. This .^39, an
error, for he was unmarried..

The board of education has been work
ing very hard to accommodate all the
children in the city who desire to have
the advantages of an education, but yet
there remain between 5,000 and 10.000
children who are not receiving the full
benefit of the educational system because
of the lack of room. Many of these chil
dren, too, are kept from school because
of their innate physical disability to
study. For the benefit of the latter a
plan, it is said, will soon be started for
the establishemnt of special ungraded
schools absolutely free from any form
of curriculum or course of study, under
the direction of specially trained teach
ers. These defective children will be
trained t&tii they are thirtefo years jpf
age.
Managers of local charitable institu
tions are expecting generally increased
demands upon them this winter, owing
to the fact that at least 50,000 men .of
the building trades were idle for •ftp
greater part of the summer, that nearly
twice as many were out for a longer
period either because of lockouts or
strikes and that fifteen thousand or-mdre
are without work. The resources of the
institutions will be taxed t® the- Utmost,
but there is confidence that, all worthy
cases can be provided for.

WANTED A COURTHOUSE.
LaMoare People Are Disgusted With tkv Old
Slack Used for a Courthouse.
LaMoute Chronicle: LaMoure Coun
ty is one of the most-prosperous coun
ties in the state. Not'only do her peo
ple enjoy .a largemeasure of prosperity,
but the county rests upon a solid finan
cial foundation.' It owes not a' dollar of
bonded debt, and there is at this moment
a cash balance in the treasury of nearly
$25,000. Of course, noj all of this
money is available for general purposes,
but it indicates the excellent condition
of our finances. And yet—j
LaMoure County has no courthouse.
Strange, but true. For the building
in which the county business is being
conducted is not only the property of
the town of LaMoure, but it is not and
never can be a court house in the true
and proper sense of the term. It was
not designed for a court house, and ii»
not adapted for that purpose. It is a
frame structure veneered with brick.
It is in constant and imminent danger
of destruction by fire. It is wholly in
adequate in its proportions, and has
been used for years merely as a make
shift.
The court room, in which sessions of
district court are held, is "something
fierce," and has been severely criticised
by the presiding judge on more than
one occasion. The jail is a positive
disgrace to the county. It is a foul,
unwholesome, unventilated, uncleanly
and forbidding dugout under the treas
urer's office. There is not the least
doubt that the state board of health, if
its attention were called to this matter,
would condemn the jail. That men
who are, merely suspected of having
committed a public offense should be
confined in this underground dungeon
for months at~a time, awaiting trial, i$
scarcely less than heathenish.
But that is not all. The jail i$ so
poofly constructed that it is hardly
strong enough to hold a sick kitten.
There have been no less than half a
dozen jail deliveries during the last
few years. Twice, at least—once dur
ing the incumbency of ex-Sheriff Jones
and again last week—prisoners have
with little difficulty and the aid of a
nail, pocket knife or splinter of wood,
tunneled through i£s two feet of rotten,
crumbling stone wall, and escaped. In
another column in this issue may be
found an account of last week's jail
delivery, as a result of which three
prisoners are at large.
A new courthouse and jail is*a pub:
lie necessity. Common prudence and
common sense, to say nothing of what
should be a matter of pride on the part
of every citizen, demand that steps be
taken at once to remedy conditions
that have too long existed. Valuable
documents and records, which no
amount of money could replacc, are
in constant danger of destruction. The
county has expended many hundreds
of dollars in repairs upon the old, tot
tering, ramshackle building now doing
pitiable duty as a coltrthou.se, but-it is
simply a waste of good money. It is
like'-pouring' new W'iiic into old bottles,
or putting new cloth in a wornout. and
useless garment.
