Department of Annie ulti:uk Weather Bureau, St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 17.— The moderate storm area of Friday has moved eastward over the lake region. At this writing there is not the slightest trace of storm disturbance anywhere over the entire Northwest or North British America. Mod erately CO >1 west and northwest winds, wita high pressure and generally clear weather, predominate over Montana, both Dakotas. and Minnesota. Similar conditions will no doubt prevail Sunday. Monday.and probably Tuesday. No rain has fallen over Montana, North Dakota or the Red river valley in this State since Friday morning. P. F. Lyons, Local Forcast Official. SUNDAY LAWS. The test of the Sunday law on the newspapers was to be made at Pittsburg this morning. The devoted people of the law and order society were to sig nalize the first hour- past midnight by an invasion of the newspaper offices and the arrest of all editors, reporters and artisans in the varied phases of newspaper development. Whether the suppression is to be confined to visible manual activities, or mind leaders are to be had to detect any formative proc esses in the editorial mind. | is not stated. Then the outraged law is to be kept in the person of these saintly people on a sleepless vigil, waiting lor carriers or newsboys, and later in the day to watch that no profane steps are directed to the newspaper offices to Incite a Monday morning paper before the midnight bell has tolled the exit of sacred time. The law under which this reform ruie is to be inaugurated dates bade a century, or perhaps more, when the Sunday paper was unknown. The trainers of the statute were not, per haps, narrower or more illiberal than public sentiment at that time, and it did not occur to them that advancing civil ization would soon vote them out of line with it and very absurd. The daily pa per did not amount to much on any day then, and none dreamed that it would become as indispensable to so ciety as food and air, and that the Sun day paper would be the yoke-fellow of the pulpit in the promotion of the higher welfare of the people. These Pittsburg obstructionists do not realize yet the mission of the Sunday press. Perhaps it has not occurred to them that there is a better way than the one they have taken to accomplish their purpose. The machinery of the law. is too coarse and rude to apply to religious and spiritual work. Let them persuade the moral and right-thinking classes at Pittsburg to discard the Sun day paper. They are largely in the ma jority, and without their support no paper could live on any day. Unless they favor the old laws discovered on the books they cannot be continued there, and the prohibition movement Will be an ignoble failure. If they are right, they should go further and return to the old Puritan rule that all worldly employments should cease at sundown of Saturday, to afford time to poise the mind for the approaching Sunday. A case "is recalled before the" war in which a daily paper was pub lished on that plan in one of the oldest and then most important cities of Illinois. Work on the Monday morning issue ceased at dark Saturday night, and the editor had time to pre pare himself for the Sunday school of which lie was superintendent. There was no profanation oi the day by addi tion to the pages made up Saturday night of reports of Sunday sermons. Tins shocking desecration would not have been tolerated. The paper came out Monday morning fresh with its two days-old news, and not a fracture of Sunday. That plan was a success on Sabbatarian lines, but those who would return to it are not numerous, even among church-goers. Sensible people recognize the changed conditions, and find that the Sunday paper has really a useful field and a benign mission. POLITICAL SONGS. Campaign songs frequently play a part in the presidential campaigns. A dashing glee club to lead and enthuse the audience has often been more effect ive than the ablest speeches. There are old Whigs still living who remember "Tippecanoe and Tyler, loo," "A Little More Cider for Miss Dinah," aud the log cabin and other refrains that tired the country in IS4O. Later the war songs did more to fill the ranks with the gal lant young spirits that put down the re bellion than almost any other incentive. •Some of these, like Julia Ward Hope's "Battle Hymn of the Repub lic" and -Rally Round the Flag, Boys," were specially inspiring. Since then, in certain political campaigns in the West, the Lombards did some firing with "Old .shady," but there lias beeu little of a very enlivening character for a good while. In Ohio ana New York, how«ver,the Republicans are trying the power of song with some catchy rhymes set to popular old war tunes. This in dicates tiiat they are making a big fight, an unusual one for state elections merely. Possibly they have stolen a march on the Djmocrats in this matter, and it may be necessary to allow for the song element in anticipating the results in those states. STILL. THiJV CALL. A month ago a loud cry came from the prairies of Dakota for ne!p, that the crop there covering the fields might not be lost. The (li.obk at once published abroad the appeal, and urged every idle man in reacn of its voice to go out into the harvest, where steady work and good pay awaited him. No more important duty has rested on it as a public news paper during the present year. The promised prosperity of the Northwest depends on the ability of the fanners to save their wheat trom tiie ravages of the weather, to break their land for an other season, and to get their produce to tin* market seas:mabjy aud in good condition. ,A famine of laborers and machines has threatened them, as seri ous in its consequences as a drouth in July or a grasshopper plague in A tigust. What would avail thirty bushels to the acre if they were to rot on the lields where they had grown? Against such a calamity it behooved the people of this region to bestir themselves. The GI<OBE'S earnest ellorts in this exigency have been tardily supple mented by its contemporaries, which have in the last few days printed per functory notices as to the great danger which has been banging over us. But no perfunctory words are sufficient. There not only has been great danger, but we are still under the shadow of a disaster more awful in its character than any which have disappointed so sadly the hopes of the Northwest durin-r the past half-decade. Unless men and threshing machines ate sent out to Da kota the crop will have been once more a failure, and all the anticipations of wealth and better times be rudely and completely dissipated. Ten fanners from Niagara, in Grand Forks county, declare in these columns, over their own signatures, thatjfour threshers, with their crews, can find threshing in their neighborhood until the Ist day of January, 18!)'J, and that thirty good men, in addition, can find work for the same length of time. They pray that they will come. So also say the farmers from hundreds of the districts in North Dakota. The tiLOBB prays that their call will be heeded. If there are laborers with stout muscles out of a job anywhere, let them write or apply to the Northern Pacific or the Great Northern railroad, or to Channi.vo Skaiiukv, of the St. Paul jobbers' committee, and full infor mation will be given them as to where their services are most needed, and how they can cet there. An army of men should enlist for this campaign of peace, which demands recruits as no battle array at the front ever called for them. The press and the public must spread the tidings of the hour's danger, and do what they can to avert it. "ONE YEAR OF IT." The Minneapolis Tribune finds some comfort in the effects of a year's opera tion of the MrKiM,i;v act, and, with that true philosophy which looks at the brighter and cheerier things of life and icnores the darker phases, it refuses to solace itself with even the reflection that the darker "might o' been worse." If the farm machinery, clothing, and other articles which it says are cheaper now than a year ago are really so, the Globe shares with its neighbor its joy, even if it dissents wholly from the source to which it attributes the cheap ening; and it especially rejoices if as to these, or any other things. Mr. McKix ley's bill has failed of its purpose, and the intention of its author to save the American people from the degradation of using things which are "cheap and nasty" has been defeated. While it rejoices it marvels at the queer mental processes which enable its neighbor to also be glad that its economic machine has produced ex actly the opposite results it was built to turn out. But the Globe cannot permit the Tribune to stop with its enumeration of the articles which have cheapened in price under "one year of it," because, if the Tribune should happen to be cor rect in ascribing the cheapening process to its beloved Bill and bill, ordinary fairness should make it give the fullest possible list of its benefits. The Tribune contents itself with giving the following list, which the Globe gladly repro duces, and which it begs to supplement with a few other items which the Trib une singularly keeps in the background, The following are the Tribune's selec tions: . — Oct. 15 — , _, , • : 1300. 1891. Butter, extra creamery 80 20 SO 25 Butter, choice dairy 0 17 0 22 Cheese, fall cream 0 0!) Oil Eggs 0 17 0 19 <-'orn . 0 49 0 54 Hay : 8 00 0 00 °, a • 038 028 Rye .". Oofi 0 80 Steers 250 2 80 Cows...: 150 00 Muttons 5 75 4 00 Hogs :j<jo 4 5 Were the Globe disposed to be cap tious or critical, it mijsht point out to its neighbor that McKini.ky pat a tax of 5 cents a dozen on eggs, and the in crease is by t 2 cents; that he made no increase on rye. and stiil it is :24 cents a bushel dearer: that he increased the tax on oats from 10 to 15 cents a bushel, and they cost 10 cents less now; but, as any such remarks and the conclusions which might be drawn from them might cast a shadow over the sunniness of our neighbor's mood, we desist. We can not refrain, however, from supplement ing this table with a further one. givfaga few other articles which have cheap ened, as the Tribune would probably in sist, "under protection." We quote the prices from the Tribune's reports, as we have confidence in the statements of fact of its market editor— more, we regret to Bay, than we can place in those of its tariff editor. .-Oct. 15.-, 1800. 1891 Wheat, No. 1 h:ird ....$1 00 $0 95 Barley .......".......:.... ..:r.... 00 55 Flax ......•...'.:.l 40 ' 83Mi Potatoes... .......;..•■.'....•.... 62 18 Wxi01.. ......:.......;.......-.....; 22 17 And, by the way, 1 the Tribune has not yet told us how much manufactured tin ware, dishpans and dinner pails we im port from those "British makers." Way last June the Tribune told its readers a harrowing story how our housewives paid "35 cents for V dishpan that . cost the . British maker 14 cents, and the American workiugman pays 50 cents for a dinner pail that costs the foreign fac tory 11 cents."

It i9 no wonder that Clakbor finds the people drop ping Kepublican papers. NEWS OF THE. HANGING. A great public newspaper like the Globe has more important functions than to print the details of an execution which those of its readers who care for such news may read. But this is one of its functions; and this journal, alert in ever}' direction when its energies can bs legitimately exerted, has made it a principle not to be found lagging,even In this. Rightly or wrongly, many people enjoy information about men's bearing in the face of death; and they turn to the columns where is told tiie story of tho condemned murderer's last hours, of his march to the scaffold and of his physical agony as the noose tightens about his neck, with a lower grade of the same sort of gratification with which other people weep over the deathbed scenes of tiie great wiiters of fiction, or strain their ears and eyes that they may not miss a line or a movement of the tragic hero whom an adverse fate pros trates on the stage. Why mankind should find pleasure In things of this sort is one of the great mysteries of hu man nature which philosophers have debated ever sines the time when Socrates undertook to prove that there was no essential difference be tween a comedy and a tragedy. It is a newspaper's place not to solve such problems, but, knowing the com plexion of men's minds, to afford them what they demand, provided it is con sistent with a proper consideration for the laws of decency and morality. This the Globe endeavors to do, and its large and growing circulation is a proof of the success it is attaining. When it appeared that executive clemency would not be exercised on behalf of William Rose, condemned to die for the min der of Moses Llfkix, the Globe un dertook to let the public know the news of his taking off. It assigned the duty to a skilled and vigilant employe, who on the scene sent the conpletest, the promptest and the most accurate re ports obtainable of what was doing by the officers of the law to carry out the law's decree. Peculiar difficulties sur round such work, because the existing statutes forbid the presence of reporters at the execution, and they have to de pend on the information they can ob tain from others, who attend it not to tell, but to act. But this paper in this case used every legitimate means avail able, that none of its contemporaries should get the better of it. In the cold gray of Friday morning the (Jlobe's representative was wait ing about the death chamber of Will iam Hose on the outskirts of Redwood Fails, and, when the sounds of the fall ing weights told him that the deed was done, with marvelous celerity be hur ried to the telegraph office and flashed the news over the wires to this ofliee. It was received long before the other papers knew of it at all, and appeared as an item of news in the Globe's first edition. A little later, when the depu ties and other attendants appeared and recounted the ghastly mishap which had made a double hanging necessary, he again, long in advance of his compet itors, supplemented the information he had already sent, and by 0 o'clock the Globe had ready and on sale a second edition, announcing these im portant additional tidings. Such enter prise and celerity are inconceivable to journals of the drowsy temperament and parsimonious methods of the Pio neer Press and Minneapolis Tribune. Clippings from the current magazines, brightened by new titles, are the meas ure of their conception of an editor's work: and their telegrams, even if,' they are a day or two late, are as accurate as a careful reading of the Chicago papers and a pair of shears can make them. A dash for the telegraph office worthy of a young Gatj-kgiieh, a first edition announcing the fact, a second edition giving the details, and all within an hour, are achievements altogether beyond their power to understand. The GLOBE is and proposes to be first — first with the news of the hanging as well as first with everything else. THE BUSINESS SITUATION. Wheat asrain this week has been quoted at lower figures than during the corresponding week a year ago, and this in spite of tiie continuance ot tremen dous shipments to Europe and the farmers' complaints about the difficulties of getting the grain to market. A strong combination has been at work to depress the price, and encouraging news as to the visible supply and the prospects for another season has been diligently cir culated for this purpose. All this has had some effect, but not as great as it would have, had the real condition of affairs been different. There is no gain saying the fact that the amount of grain in the world is not adequate for the world's needs, and the efforts of specu lators can not avail against this proposi tion. It is much to be regretted that along with their abundant crops the farmers can not at the same time be as sured of the highest prices; but thirty bushels to the acre, at even 90 cents, means a much greater return than ten bushels bringing a dollar or more. There has been a distinct decline in the total bank clearances of the country during the past week, compared with a week ago. which is indicative of a gen erally diminished business activity. This is not true of Western cities like St. Paul, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Omaha, all of winch show a gain, both over last week and over the corre sponding week of a year ago. And iv this iucrease St. Paul, according to the published reports, leads all its competi tors in its percentage of gain. The in ference from such news is that the re eions immediately tributary to the points of production have already felt the effects of the harvest, while those which are more remote have experi enced but slight results. The money market has continued easy, both East and West. There is very little change ii^ the size of the banKs' reserves at any point, and accommoda tion is not hard to secure. The de mands of Western trade have carried off considerable sums from ; the : seaboard, but this has. been: centralized • there by the uninterrupted influx of gold from abroad in payment for our wheat. The commercial journals tell the same story : of continued confidence, and even those - dealers who have done only a small business are not discouraged, but wait, sure that the greatest activity is at hand. - — — Possibly the liquor, interests ill New York take to Fassett, the Republican candidate for governor, ou account of the sound of the . name.

There are queer little perversions and twists of human nature that are thrust under our uose9 sometimes by slight and insignifi cant occurrences. The other evening as I was passing the residence of a gentleman well Known in the rubber trade In St. Paul, I was- struck with the fact that in a vain at tempt to encourage his lawn he was using a little oid. well-worn hose about half as long as it ought to be, which could not very well Help giving a thorough distribution of water on accoufit of a score or more of leaks from which went little spirts and squirts of water in all directions. Now, the gentleman could have had a nice new 100-foot hose with all modern attachments and arrangements for about one-half what Hip cost would have been to any of his neighbors, but that would not be human jiature. Bid you ever see a shoe maker whose shoes were so especially nice in fit and style as to cause you to take a second loot at them? Did you ever see a hat dealer who nfrected particularly nobby and fetching tiles? Did you ever see a clothing dealer with a Etylish swell suit? Did you ever see a jeweler radiant in his own goods? Or a milliner with a "perfect poeni' 1 of a bon net, or a dressmaker with a "fetching crea tion*'' Of course uot, nor did any one else. Of all the drunkards you ever knew, how many were saloonkeepers V It Is a peculiar phase of human nature not to be accounted for ut the first thought, and it applies to al most every line of ordinary business, and I guess to the professions and arts as well, for Ido not know a single piano dealer who is en expert piauist, or any lawyers who luive been going to law with people— on their own account — and no editor spends very much tiiiie reading h:s own paper. People complain because, as they say, the newspapers of the day are sensational, run ninsr to thrilling tales, domestic exposures and the like; and, without doubt, all or the most that is said is true. There is a great deal of that sort of thing in the newspapers of the present decode, bat it is simply be cause the people like it, in spite of all their criticisms. This, you know, is a rapid world. There is an indisputable tendency to be chi.e, to be alert aud alive. There is, moreover, a tendency to be just v trifle naughty, not ex actly wicked or positively bad. but with a keen taste for thinsrs nervous and worldly in a somewhat mild form. There is nothing that will help the newsboys sell a whole arm till] of papers tike a little domestic scandal or a couple of columns of fresh news that is just a triile racy. Individuals of the reading public will deny this or decry it, but it is true just the same. Let the scion of a wealthy local family cut some high jinks with an neiress, or some young tvomun of style though perhaps of slightly sbady society poison her husband, or Ist some well-known busi ness man or "blood get himself into almost any sort of a mess, and the newspapers will soil in a way that will give the circulation liar a chance for a vacation. A great deal mustbe sacrificed to achieve sensations, and why? Simply because the great readina pub lic want it. it is not a nice though., but it is true. The whole Northwest was bles39d with ex ceptional crops this tall and people rejoiced that in those crops was the temporary pan acea for hard times. I presume I have heard a dozen or more complaining dating the past few days because they jingled no more dol lars iv their pockets than they did a month or two a-<o. As if the great big* wheat crops stacked up on Minnesota und Dakota farms would immediately put §10 gold pieces in everybody's vest pockets: Money matters are goiug to be improved by trio bountiful harvests, but it will not be to-day or tomor row. What a lot of people there are in this world who simply look at matters as they! find them to-day and never bother them-j selves to look next week. With all the mod' em improvements, crops unfortunately call not be raised and harvested aud marketed 1 and the proceeds sent into circulation in a le-.v minutes, and the fellow.? who expect to promenade down Third street making reck less selections of fine raiment and jewelry, and hire livery turnouts to entertain their inamoritas will have to wait awhile. It re minds me of th<j complaints that short-sight ed people used to make after Mr. Cleveland was elected president, because there was not Immediate improvement of conditions with the change of administration, ;is if it made One whit of difference who sat in the presi dent's choir until there were changes made in the laws. '"Colonel Bob." DRAMATIC CHAT. "Mr. Potter of Texas" will be produced at the Metropolitan to-night by Frank W, San ger's company. The play is a dramatized version by Archibald C. Gunter of bis own popular novel of that name, which succeeded the great success, '"Mr. Barnes of New York." The play, like the book. Is brim-full of excit ing situations. It is unnecessary, for Amer ican renders, to reproduce Hie story of the piny, sufficient to say that all who see "Mr. Potter of Texas'' will be delightfully entertained. Tho company is one of exceptional strength and Manager Sanger baa selected Joseph \\ liuo lock for the part of Mr. Potter of Texas, Jeffreys Lewis for Lady Anuerly, and Frank Aiken for Lord Lincoln. Tnese actors are ull well known, having appeared in this city often. Mr. Wheelock was for five years Hd win Booth's leading man, and he has served la that capacity with other celebrities with conspicuous success for many seasons. Jeffreys Lewis was last seen here as a star iv "La Belle Russe," and Frank Aiken has played the old and crabbed Karl of Dorincourt in •'Fuuntleroy'" for the past three years. Maurice Drew, Matt B. Snyder, May Haiues and Lee Leniar are the leading support to Sir. Sanger's group of stars. Rose Coghlan. with her new play, uDor othy's Dilemma," will appear at the Metro politan next Sunday evening. Miss Coghlan believes that "Dorothy's Dilemma" will be much lik?d, and as profitable to her as the '•Senator has beon to its owner. "Dorothy's Dilemma' 1 has been written with the inten tion of giving Miss Ci-glilau a part that will make her stand out prominently as a come dienne. t..t i "The Stowaway," with its powerful cast, bis white yacht, and other striking pictorial effects, together with those high priests of the art of safe-blowing, "Col." Spike flennes- S2y and "Prof." Kid McCoy, is the attraction that will undoubtedly crowd the Grand opera house this week. Modern stage realism has attained its highest development and per fection in this play. 'Nothing so vividly real, as well ; as . beautiful to loot upon, in the way of stagal settings as the rep resentation of a i full- rigged at sea has ever been shown on the English-speaking stage. , "The Stowaway", is a masterly reflex of certain phases of London life. The plot is of the most thrilling and fascinating kind,' the people portrayed act in a highly probable manner, and the gamut of the emotions is completely sounded during the course of the five acts. A company of uncommon ability interprets the drama. The leading members of the organization embrace Messrs. Joseph. Slayton. Mark Lynch, Harry Booker, Frank Pechard . and son. R. J. Moye and Misses Maude and Llbbie Kirke, Eleen Moretta and Leonora Bradley. + 4- t Jacob Lit and Thomas H.

When will managers learn that the public want . something for" their money? Two or three dances by Carmencita should not be expected to fill up an evening's : en tertainment, aided by a couple" of ■wheezing operettas. Until Carmencita is surrounded by a capable company of artists, the sparsely attended houses which- distinguished the Metropolitan . last week will be continued during the " Spanish dancer's tour of the Northwest. Carmencita may go down well in the : East, but out „ here the . people want something for their -money. The playing of the Spanish students was, perhaps, the only , redeeming feature of Carmenclta's visit. - : t V + "Little Lord Faun tleroy" did a land office business at the Grand last week.

One of the juicy fruits of the Ohio cam paign is Mr. Sherman's desperate plea that the MuKinley bill is a free trade measure, so to speafc, while Jlaj. McKinley lauds its merits as a measure "to check all imports." When Gov. Campbell finds himself called upon a second time to serve the great state of Ohio, what an awful job of reckoning there will be within tha Republican fold. Three years ago this fall a great many thousand voters in these United States cast their ballots to have the little tin god of pro tection put upon a high pedestal, surrounded by all the magnificence that rich trusts and and money changers could give hi:u and be worshipped. It was done. 1 wonder how many of all those thousands have had their salaries ruiscd by him. With what . remarkable discrimination do trie protection newsf-apers select unique ex-" amples of seemingly encouraging changes in 'Exports" and 'Imports," which \ examples'; at least amuse if they do not edify, and toss up their noses nt the report of the mercantile agency, of It. G. Dun & Co., made Sept. 39. This latter most reliable authority announces in a cold, merciless way that must send . a chill down the spinal columns of . Maj.,Mc-; Kinley and the Republican editors, that dur-' ins the nine months which the McKinley bill has been in force there have,': been 8,828, failures in the United £t ites as against T.SSI during the same mouths last year. During the quarter of a year ending. Sept. 30, 1 1891, there were 2,754 failures, and during the same months last year there were 548 less failures.

Who knows but twenty years ■ from now Baby McKi-e and little Miss Cleveland may be casting sheep's eyes at each other, and wondering how in the world their respective families could ever have entertained 'cold and cheerless thoughts of each other. **•■-■.-' - This is a strange world, anil locksmiths arc not the only fellows who set laushed at by the fat, impudent little chap with the bow and arrows. Even politicians and family pride get knocked into smithereens by him sometimes. * * There is an English writer contributing some readable matter to foreign journals, who listen h to the wails of the poverty-strick en and distressed from various corners of the globe witnout any abnormal degree of char ily and says that, with the productive and inhabitable portions, of the world but " slightly used, he sees no reason why all "de serving people cannot sufficiently provide for themselves," and the "unemployed find em ployment— they want to." If this worthy pen genius would only open his eyes wide enough to see clearly, and then stick his nose into political economy only up to the bridge, it might be of a little use tor some one to show him a few choice samples from a large stock of obstacles now on hand, such as the fact that a perfectly worth less and scarcely ornamental throne is being maintained in England at an annual cost of millions upon millions of dollars; that the czar of Itussia is personally holding and profiling from "lauded ruins" that equal in area the entire country of France; that the maharajah of ' Bnroda— and Heaven : only knows what earthly use he is— mulcts his subjects under the guise of government to so lively a tune that a short time ago. when he wanted a mat for the floor of his own panic- ■ nlar room, he felt warranted in having one made, principally of strings of rare pearls. with borders nnd rosettes of diamonds at a cost of only $1,000,010; that in the senate of tins great aud glorious republic there sat last session nineteen zentlpraeii who could scrape .up one hundred and forty millions of dollars and over. These little things help out ama teur philosophers sometimes. * a If the United States warship Yorktown suc cessfully reaches Chili, and actually flaunts the American flag in the foreign waters of a nation that tights, one great brilliant piece of seamanship and . naval maneuvering, will: have to be chalked up to the great American navy. .'-. ■■<«: . ■■■■■; :. ■ :»".• * * • The United States has a vice president, all statements to the contrary notwithstanding, and he is a real nice man, too.

"Coloxel* Bob." CITY HALL GOSSIP. . ; > It would seem that nothtug rill be done this year in the matter of acquiring parks for the city, judging from the proceedings of; the park board during the past few weeks. The board of park, commissioners seemed dis posed to acquire Phalon lake and th? sur rounding property for a park, and when it ■ was decided to obtain particulars from prop ! erty owners at Like Phalen, it was thought , that' soon St. Paul ' would possess a park which would be a benefit to the citizens, and a source of pride to the city. But it was a mere flash in ,the ,pan, and at every meet ing. -of the board of: park:" commissioners the ■ chairman of the committee ; ou sites - has simply reported progress end nothing more. The fault does not lie with the members of the park Doard . It is ..d)ue to the inaction and lethargy of our prom- ■ inent citizens. Petitions by the hundred | »rrave been presented to the park board : urg- I i ing the purchase of certain properties tor park purposes. These proposals figure up at the prices asked to over two million dol lars, and they have been scat in by property. ' Ojwners anxious to drive a good bargain and sell to the city property at a figure considera bly above Its market ; value. Why do not these people get together ' and ask that one grand park site bs selected and acquired fo r I - the benefit of the whole city, instead of wor rying ■. the board week after week with their petty ; and selfish requests that a few lots here aud there be acquired, which wiil put a good-sized sum of money in their pockets and benefit a few people ? St. Paul possesses to-day all the small squares or parks necessary, and not ;■: one - dollar of I money should be spent for any more lots or blocks surrounded by houses. In connection with Como park, the board is being constantly requested to proceed with the worfc of dredging the lake and building the boulevard. The board, however, refuses to do this until the council authorizes the issue of S-">,000 bonds for the purpose under the special act of legislature of 1889. The persons who are haunting the meetings of the parK board all own property at Lake Como, and loudjy proclaim that St. Paul must have parks. Yet tbese gentlemen do not say a single word in favor of a pare at Pha leu or ou the river bauK, showing that they are ouly actuated by personal and pecuniary motives in demanding that the work at Como be started at once. It can be safely said that if these Como park improvers did not own property there not one would come forward and speak iv favor of the park. A feeling is growiner up In the assembly that something must be done in the matter of putting in an ambulance service in the city. ■ The chief bone of contention has been theexpense. but the amount is so small that when the figures are taken into account and compared with, the necessity of the service they are not worth talking about. If the ' council decides that the school buildings . shall not be insured a clear saving of 5">.033 \ a year will be made, and the expense of a few hundred dollars to purchase an ambul ance" could easily be made out of the savin;. — — pi — ■■; ■ MUSIC IN r ST. PAUL. . The audience which assembled at.the Peo ple's church last evening to hear the Beetho ven string quartette concert , was absurdly small when one considers the excellence of the programme. .It Is a matter for regret that, in a city of the proportions of St. Paul, there should be so few people who are capable ' of ; enjoying an evening of good music well ren j dered. Last night's programme was composed of music which, although classical, was not toodißicult to be comprehended by the or dinary amateur. A Mendelsohn adagio in E Hat major was the quartette's first num ber. The player 3 are of the true Ger man school, and play with unusual depm and soul. Mrs. Fuller-Snyder sang Tosti's "Beauty's Eyes" with a violin obligato by Emil Straka. Mrs. Snyder sang the ballad with intensity ana sympathy. As an encore she sang "Lo.;;ui." by Seaira, a dramatic Italian song of great range. The soprano has never been heard to better ad vantage. Sue gave the song a b.-eadth that was most pleasing. The string quartette next rendered an andante with variations by Beethoven, Op. No. 5. Their phrasing to gether is exquisite and their expression and style admirable. Ilerr Straka followed with M. Ilausers first Hungarian Uli'apsodie, a violin solo. His tones are broad and unusually sympathetic, with excellent clearness and resonance. So hearty was the recall that th 3 violinist re- - turned to play a tender little wiegealied of his own composing. It was a simple little sons but delicate and sweet as cradle songs should be. The Bohemian Yolksiied arranged by Meyer was the next number by the string quauette.and was delightfully given. Masz- .-ki's "Serenade" was played with life and lire and in excellent style anl ryllim. "On Board -dc la Mer," by Dunkler, was noticea ble for the concerted rendering of tho cres cendo-hud descrescendo passages. A quar tette, ()d. 41, by Schumann, was the last number ou the programme, played by Mrs, Louis Milch and tin quirtnie. The cello was well manage! in th 3 solo parts.' "and th.3 quintette creditably rendered. , The members of the Beethoven String quar tette are: Emil Straka, first violin; Gustav yon Goetzen. second violin; Louis Marr, viola; Louis Milch, cello. Mrs. Louis Milch is accompanist, and is to be congratulated on her accompaniments. + I + r i u-' ladies of th 3 Christian Flora:; will give a on Thursday evening, Oct. 23, at the hall En Moore's block. Seven corners. Tickets for sale will be distributed to tne lady managers at Messrs Field & Mahler 's reception room on Monday. Oct. 19, from 9 to 5 p.m. Mrs. A. B. Stickuey. Mrs. E. J. Hodgson and other prominent ladies are in terested in the home. The following is the programme to be rendered: Vocal quartette —Mrs. Nettie Fuller Snyder. James Swift, Mrs. C B. Yale, A. D. S. Johnston. Beethoven string qaartette -Einll Siraka. Louis Mnrr, Gustav yon Goetzen. Louis Milch. Song, A. I). S. Johnson; violin solo, Emil Steaks; song, Mrs. O. B. Yale; cello solo. Louis Milch; song, Mrs. Nettie Fuller Snyder; piano solo. Miss Crosby; Beethoven string quartette, vocai quartette. :. + + + Mr. Baldwin will give his usual free organ recital at the PeoDle'a churh this evening, beginning at 6:45 o'clock. The programme will he a« follows: Prelude aud fugue in-B flat. Bach; Invocation, Salome; sonata iv l-'mitior, Rheinberger; largo from sonata No 2, Beethoven; prayer, Guilmant; chorale (Op. 100 No. 4,) Merkel. + T t The first distinctively great evening in music for the present season will be the con ceit to be given by the New York Philhar monic club at the , People's church next Thursday night. Tnis club has completed thirteen seasons of continuous work, during most of which time the same players have been engaged. The personnel of the club is as follows: .Eugene Weiner, flute; Ernst Mnhr, violoncello; Sebastian Laenduer, vio * lin: John Murqunrdt, violin: Friedhold Ilem ' maun,' viola; August Kalkhof. double bass. This produces a quality of music like the ■ tones of an old violin, or the flavor of old wine. There is nothing that can take the place of the years of constant practice to gether. In addition to this fact, each mem ber of the sextette is a born musician, of the most thorough training and wide experience. The most of them have been engaged as lead ing soloists in the famous Thomas orchestra, of New York. Ernst Mahr is probobly the leading violoncellist in America. He was trained under Hoffman, of Berlin, was a member of the Berlin orchestra, afterwards of the famous Wagner theater, under Neumann, then connected with the famous Berlin concert house, and during recent yea has been a member of the New York Philharmonic club. Marquardt was former ly a member of the celebrated Bilse orches tra, at Berlin, and since his coming to the United States he has been recognized as the ; leading master of the violin in this country. Miss Marion S. Weed, the vocalist, has won the highest enconiums upon her beauty, her manner, her magnificent voice and her ex quisite art. The entire concert will fit to gether in a perfect harmony, like one of Raphael's old pictures, end no one suscepti . ble to the power of sweet sounds can afford to miss the entertainment. — — A GORGEOUS OPENING. Schuncman & Evans' New Estab lishment Formally Inaugurated. Standing room was at a hizh premium, last night, in every part of the department store of Schuueman & Evans. It was formal opening night, and everybody was there. The sidewalks for a block away were crowded : with '.he coming and going l&rongs, and wait ! ing carriages lined the curbs on the rear ! streets. Very • successful was the opening ■ event. The six huge windows on Wub&sha and four on Sixth street were each a study ill the decorator's art, and many people spent all the time at their disposal in gazing at their beauty. The interior wore its holiday arrangement..' Palms and set plants were bestowed about corners, graceful baskets of flowers swung at intervals from the ceil ings. SeiDert's full orchestra occupied the balcony and .discoursed delightful music throughout the evening. The great store and its arrangements have already been described in detail in the Globe. Since that description all of the new departments, notably the china, toy, leather and . household goods, in the base . menu have been completed and thrown open, and the commercial picture is now complete. It required the entire evening for a visitor to everr rapidly inspect the establishment, aud the expressions of surprise and 'delight which were heard on all side? were evidence of the public favor into which the new en terprise has leaped, it was a splendid open ing of a splendid enterprise. LEFT TO THK COUNCIL. Shall Mr. Hoyt Retain the In spectors Contrary to the Charter? " A conference was held yesterday be tween Acting Mayor Culleu, City At torney Lawler, City Comptroller Pon than and Health Officer Iloyt, in order to devise a . plan by which the present force of. health inspectors may re tained during the winter, and also for payment of the salaries of the depart ment up to the end of the year. The charter stimilat.es that from Nov. 1 to April 1 the force of assistants shall be reduced. As to means to pay salaries nothing delinite was '(tune, as the appro priation tor the department is almost exhausted. It was decided that the health officer lay the .whole matter be fore the council as regards retaining; his assistants ana paying salaries for the next two mouths. _ y SHEENY ANNIE Allowed to Depart on Payment of a Vine. . The notorious woman Annie liyers, alias '.'Sheeny; Annie. whose exploits as a procuress have lauded her in the police net a number of times, was fined' $•20 iv the municipal court for visiting saloons. The two girls who were with her when she was arrested, and whom she was inducing to go to Staples, Wis., to live in a house of ill-fame,' were - each " given twenty days' in i the workhouse. The charge ;of procuring preferred against "Sheeny ~. Annie" was aban doned, as the evidence showed that the two girls were women of shady repute. HEARD IN HOTELS. Hon. Martin Magiunis, of Montana, the Minnesota boy who represent2d Montana in congress a3 territorial: delegate far several times, and who is rightfully entitled to the seat In the United States senate now held by T.C. Powers, arrived in St. Paul yesterday afternoon and is domiciled at the Ryan. Mr. Maginnisisonhis way to Omaha, where hi will attend a Western Improvem?ut ' conven tion this week. . Ha was tired and worn and decidedly averse to talking on politics or anything else. 11° was certain that Montana would be ; Djmocratic .next as it was at the last election.. "We are all free silver m?:i out there though," he said in answer to a question , "and we shall insist on a free silver plank n the national platform next year. " ■- .'* t — SS — " Charles Gibson, Esq. /of St. Louis, iras in the city yesterday Mr. Gibson's summer residence is at Xorthome, Luke Miunetonka," at which place he has sam? real estate inter ests, including an interest .- In the Hotel St. Louis. He is also interested in affairs at the Yellowstone park and in the proper protec tion aud improvement of that great pleasure ground. In a conversation, Mr. Gibson re-, ferred to the death of Count ArcoValley," late German minister to Washington, with' considerable feeling. He knew the count well, as he has personally and intimately known all the distinguished ministers who nave represented the German government at Washington during the past forty years. He said they had all been men of the highest character and of broad views, nun of culture and sincerity. Mr. Gibson's acquaintance with them eaablad him to say with persanal knowledge that their friendship for this government was true and unshaken during all the trials of tho civil war. and since the war's close they have continuec to do much to advance the friendship between the two great nations. In speaking of the late Count Area, Mr. Gibson said: "The man whose actions promote the friendship of two such nations as the United States ana Germany has not lived in vain." This sentence might well be written in after years as Mr. Gibson's epitaph; for no other American has been in a position to do more towards the develop ment of friendly relations between these governments than he. WITH IMPOSING CEREMONIES The Corner Stone of St. Luke's Hospital Is Laid. The corner stone of the new St. Luke's hospital, at the corner of Smith avenue ami Sherman street, was laid yesterday afternoon at o o'clock, accordiug to the solemn ritual of the I'rotestant Episco pal church. The day was an excep tionally mild, one for October, and the crowd that stood or sat for two hours iluring the service were not chilled by frosty winds, bishop Gilbert, in the somber robe the church pro scribes for the occasion, read the service, assisted by other clergymen present. On the platform were Key. Dr. S. H Smith, Rev. Dr. Wright, Rev. Mr. An drews, Rev. Mr. i'ope. Rev. Mr. Olspp, Mr. Johnson, the architect of the build ing, representatives of the medical beard, the board of trustees, ami a great many women and men interested in the ho3p!tal.

He made an appeal to the people of St. I'aul that the wartc begun by St. Luke's may not be allowed to fail or falter, and ifoped that the time will come when the rooms* of the hospital, soon to become Insuf ficient, will be trebled and quadrupled by the beneficence of St. I'aul citizens. He made a brief report of the number of patients admitted to tne hospital since May (I, IH7B, 2,C>'X, in all. To show that the hospital has not limited its benefit to members of any one church, or peo ple of any one nationality, he read some statistics proving the catholicity of the institution. Rev. , Dr. Smith, of the People's church, when introduced to the audi ence, said lie felt it an honor and privilege to be allowed to speak on such an occasion. Ho congratulated the Episcopal church on the work it has done in this direction. "Hospitals," he said, "are the fruit of Christianity and the necessity of civilization." in speak ing of state hospitals, lie said lie was glad there was a litany of dollars, so that people could be compelled to wor ship God by paying taxes for the sup port of such institutions. He advised the labor organizations and charitable associations to endow with their sick funds beds in St. Luke's|hospital. ilev. Dr. Christie, of the House of Hone, was the next speaker. He dwelt upon the hospital as an enlargement of the humane spirit of the age. He. spoke of the young men and women away from their homes to whom St. Luke's would be so great a help. The institu tion was a buttress in defense or Christianity, framing an argument the opponents of the faith could never an swer, lie congratulated the church and the community on < the- erection of the new hospital and urged the propri ety of congregations endowing beds in the hospital. In closing he spoke of the courtesy he had invariably received from the people in charge of th« old St. Luke's, and prayed for God's blessing on the institution for all the years to come. Dr. Senkler spoke "in behalf of the medical board of the hospital. He said there had been a misuiuier.-itanding about hospitals. They had been classed with prisons and reformatories, whereas they were a home for the sick. He spoke of the various classes the hospital has received, among them the utterly dependent patients, who can pay for their care only by allowing themselves to be used for the purpose of teaching. No patient is ever so used without his own consen t, however. There is no ex .perimentiug. Dr. Senkler spoke of the changes in the medical board since its first appointment, and paid a glowing tribute to the matron and steward of the institution, to whom so much praise ! is due. Bishop Gilbert was the last speaker. He told of the groat need of sue* ;i hos pital liere in St. Paul, and booed tliat the people of the city— the rich men especially— would respond man liberal ly in future to the support of the insti tution, as large financial lesponsibili ties have been assumed by the board <>i trustees. The hospital ought to inspire an enthusiasm for humanity— for hu manity that needs care: thai is weak and suffering and in the condition hi which it is possible lor us all to be. St Luke's wiil be a great emblem of the Master speaking in our midst for hu manity: au argument for Christianity. than which nothing could be stronger. In conclusion, he paid a flattering trib ute to tiie earnest, self-sacrificing and modest work done by the women, and said that by tiieir quiet, untirinc etfoit , through great discouragements, the hos pital hau been built. After a hymn and the offertory .Bishop Gilbert closed the exercises "by pro nouncing the benediction. SUNDAY BREAKFAST. The . machinery moulders held a lar:i meeting at labor headquarters last night.
