THE NEWS OF SATURDAY.
Mayor Ames Shows Wherein Gov. Mc-
Gill's Opinions Are Far From
Correct.
The Assets and Liabilities of the Frank
lin Bazar—Some Large
Figures.
Figures on Street Lighting— Pertinent
Remarks on a Variety of
Subjects,
THE MAYOR LAUGHED.
He Thinks Gov. McGill Something
of a Humorist.'
Mayor Ames was at supper last night
when the following interview with Gov.
McGill at Washington was pointed out
to him:
The extreme prohibition people you can
never satisfy. They will accept nothing but
the formation of a party of their own around
one idea. It is not broad enough to found a
party upon, and they must always fail, at the
same time proving a constant obstruction to
the efforts of every other party for their
cause. The Republican party has embodied
the principle in its ideas, and has done for
the cause of temperance everything that has
been done for it. But the extremists can't
see this, and never will admit it. Formerly
we had 700 saloons in St. Paul, each one a
rallying place and committee room for the
Democratic party. Under high license we
have only 300, all satisfied with the law nnd
finding no fault with the Republican party
for having made it. ] think that the people
in the country districts are satisfied with
high license, and that we shall find the party
in very good shape next year for our presi
dential campaign.
His honor laughed heartily, and then
said :
That tickles me. MeOill probably thought
that the interview would never come as far
west as Minnesota, or he would not have
stultified himself in that way in an effort to
predict a gain for himself and incidentally
his party, and in attempting to explain the
Republican losses at the last election. His
statement that there had been a large de
crease of saloons at St. Paul, and that i>eople
were well pleased because of the recent tem
perance legislation is ridiculously false. In
the first place, the high license law has not
gone into effect at St. Paul, and will not until
Jan. 1. Another thing, there were never so
many saloons in St. Paul as now. Besides,
instead of being satisfied with the new tem
perance laws, our people are disgusted.

TWO PRICES.
Minneapolis Getting the Worst of
It in Her Street Lighting.
Some ofthe aldermen have just found
out the that the Sun Vapor, Wheeler
and Globe Gas Light companies have
been and are now charging Minneapolis
$5 more per lamp than they are charg
ing Milwaukee, as the following table
shows:
Milwaukee. Minneapolis

Wheeler 15.26 17.05

The agents of the companies claim
that the difference is the result of freight
charges, but the matter will be looked

OXE WAY TO BECOME RICH.
Nicollet Island Property Owners j
Protested Against an Alleged
Steal.
A large number of the residents of
Nicollet Island are somewhat indignant
at W. W. Eastman posing as a public
benefactor and denounce his proposi
tion, made to the council some weeks
ago, as an outrage upon the other
property owners on the island, and claim
that the whole thing is merely an at
tempt on the part of Mr. Eastman to get
the city, through the council, to recog
nize his title to land that for some
twenty years past has been considered
public property. The proposition pre
sented In* Mr. "Eastman to the council
was in regard to donating to the city
certain land which runs around the
edge of Nicollet Island. Mr. Eastman
claimed that the avenue extending
around the island and skirting the river
was, according to the original plat, but
forty feet wide, and that the remaining
twenty-five or thirty feet, before the
water was reached, belonged to
him. He accordingly proposed
that the avenue should be widened two
and one-half feet. This strip of two
and one-half feet was to be donated to
the city, and in return the city was to
refund Mr. Eastman certain back taxes
since 1882. exempt from taxation certain
other of his property until it was im
proved and agree never to lower or
raise the grade more than two feet. On
the face of it this proposition was hon
est and fair enough, and without look
ing into the matter the council accepted
it. Later on other residents
of the island made representations
which caused the rescinding of the
acceptance of the proposition. These
protesting residents claim that every
foot of land upon the island has been
sold upon the representation and under
standing that the avenue extended to
the river bank. They further say that
at least two of the official plats of this
property show that Park avenue ex
tended to the water line, and that no
claim was ever made to this property
until the year 1882, when some one
called the attention of the assessor to
the fact that in the original plat there
was a reservation of the strip along the
watei edge, and that this strip belonged
to Mr. Eastman. At this time Mr. East
man allowed the property to be sold
for taxes, but had his wife bid it in, and
when questioned about the matter said
that he was merely getting a title to the
property in order to present it to the
park board. It is now declared that ac
cording to the original plat, granting
the restriction made then, the avenue
would be fifty-seven feet wide instead
of forty, as Mr. Eastman claims, and
more than that, it is even hinted that
the fact that neither of the copyists who
made the official copies for the" city at
torney and city engineer saw this limit
ation" would seem to indicate that the
limiting clause was not there at the
time these copies were made, but
had been inserted by a later hand.
It would seem, if the claim of the
islanders be true, that Mr. Eastman in
tended to work a very sharp trade by
inducing the council to accept his propo
sition, and pursuing his plan of building
land out into the river to gain possession
of a strip of real estate some 4,000 feet
long and worth about $700,000. The
property owners on - the island declare
that they will fight the matter to the
bitter end, and so the case, after the
council gets througb with it, will proba
bly come into the courts.
SHARP SCHEMES.
How a Young Sport Tried to Beat
Old Gamblers.
The desire to get something for noth
ing is ever present in the young man's
mind of to-day, aud many are the
schemes that are worked to accom
plish this much desired end. One of
the gilded youth of the city, who, by
the way, ;s something of a sport, hit
upon a scheme recently that might have
netted him a handsome profit, had not
his partner played false. The yoang
sport won the confidence of the boy
who puts the cards in the "clock"
in a bucket-shop near the center of the
city, and by the judicious use of a *50
bill succeeded in finding out from hith
how the cards would run. * The sport
then hunted up a moneyed friend and
to him confided the scheme. This
friend went to the room where the
"clock" was, and by tlie time all the
cards had been run out he had won
some ?600. Sport put In a claim for a
share of the '•boodle." but his friend re
fused to divide, stating that Sport had
risked no money and therefore was en
titled to none of the benefits. s
This same sport came near working
another gigantic scheme a short time
ago, when there were several big gam
bling bouses running. He had a faro
box made similar in all respects to the
one used in the biggest ball in the city,
and procured a pack of cards similar to
the ones in use. His plan was to trans
pose his box for the one in use at the
faro table. He went to the room, and
when all was ready to make the change,
found that a friend he had brought
along to cany off the regular box had
disappeared. The young man did
not then dare to make the change,
for he knew that if the fraud was
discovered, suspicion would point to
him, he being the only stranger in the
room, and if the box was found in his
possession it would go bard with him.
Had he been able to carry out his game
and the friend made his escape with the
regular box,the sport would have broken
the bank, for he had several hundred
dollars in his pocket, and be knew ex
actly how the cards would run.
DISTRICT COURT NOTES.
The question of whether or not the
state would be compelled to furnish a

A CHANGE IX PROSPECT.
Winslow M. Rrackett May Take
Charge of the Police Force.
There was a long and decidedly secret
session of the police commissioners yes
terday, and as many prominent Repub
licans were seen around the city hall
and hobnobing with the commissioners,
rumors of all kinds were decidedly
numerous. For a long time past
it has been rumored that there
would be a change in the head of the de
partment, for various reasons, and the
general understanding around police
headquarters now is that this change
will be made in the near future. George
A . Brae Kett was one of the gentlemen
who called upon the commission, and it
is now almost certain that Winslow M.
Brackett will be placed in command of
the police.

lowed extra for this work.
