! The Fall Season Is Here.
We are better prepared for it than we have ever been be
fore. Our only competitors this year will be the custom
tailors, whose prices are more than double what we ask, and
their clothes-are not made any better and seldom fit as well
as do ours. Then see the convenience we offer of supplying
i just what you desire the moment you need it.
We Want Your Trade
and expect to secure it by giving- the best values obtainable
in the respective lines of goods we carry.
This Is Your Opportunity.
An inspection is all we ask, your judgment will verify
our unqualified assertion that if you pay less than our prices
you get less for your money. Price is a minor factor in the
value of a purchase. Quality should be the premier con
sideration. !

PLRHT FOR LIGHTING
ASSEMBLYMAN ALBRECHT'S PLAN
FOR ST. PALL IS TO DO ITS
OWN WORK.
THINKS MONEY CAN BE SAVED.
PACTS AND FIGURES WHICH HE'LL
PRESENT TO THE COMMITTEE
ON GAS.
ESTIMATED COST OF THE PLANT.
He Thinks if tl»e Water Works Can
Be Handled Successfully the
Lighting Also Can.
The report of the board of public
works in relation to the proposed
lighting of the streets of the city with
electric lights has been referred to the
committee on gas from the assembly.
Assemblyman Albrecht, who is a mem
ber of this committee, has been giv
ing the question of street lighting a
deal of attention during the past few
months and has interested himself in
the proposition to have the city own
and operate a lighting plant of its own.
Sec-n yesterday by a reporter for the
Globe, Mr. Albrecht said:
"The situation is just this: The city
has now 120 arc lights, including those
in the park. It pays $69.50 per year for
each one. These are furnished by the
gas company and the small price
charged is due doubtless to the com
pensation for the lighting of the
streets, which came up when the con
tiact was made. Prior to this last
contract the city was paying $120 p^r
arc light, and Minneapolis is now pay
ing $140 for what we now get for $G9.59.
The gas company has always claimed
it lost money under the contract, and
the city will never get as low a bid
again, unless there is competition for
the work. The present report of the
board of public works, which was sent
to the assembly Thursday night, pro
vides for an increase in the number of
electric street lights to 365. This would
affect a saving to the city at the
present low price of about ?7,000. The
report as submitted provides for an
alternative proposition either to iet
the contract in one or divide the city
into sections and advertise for bids for
each section, thereby giving various
companies who operate small plants a
chance t»> compete. This proposed
plan has been referred to the commit
tee on gas from the assembly, who will
invite the committee on gas from the
board of aldermen to sit with them in
considering the mattfe*.
"WL«! the matter is taken up I in
tend to submit a plan by which the
city is to do its own lighting. With
this plan will be submitted figures and
statistics showing that the city could
with an economical administration of
a Plant, do its own lighting at about
the same low figure it Is now paving
to the gas company. This will he
done in view of the fact that possibly
the bids received for doing the work
next year will be so high t-hat the best
K 6 2S ° f^ he ° ity WUI be sul^ved
by taking the matter of lighting the
md!a m d!s S " and PUb i C buildin^ in its own
Numerous letters, Mr. Albrecht said
had been received by him in the last
two months from various elec
trical concerns volunteering to furnish
any information bearing on the mat
ter Such a public plant as indicated
might be paid for in the first instance
by an issue of bonds and a sinkin
fund created out of the tax levy with
which to pay for the same. This
scheme would have the advantage of
making the yearly payments for the
plant so small that the rate of taxa
tion would probably not be increased
more than 5 or 10 cents on each $1 000
assessed valuation. There was noth
ing in the law, Mr. Albrecht said to
prevent this plan being adopted, and
it was simply a question whether the
public would favor it. In his estima
tion a plant with a capacity of 400
lights could be provided complete for
operation for $60,000 in round figures.
The general sentiment wherever the
experiment of public lighting had been
tried under municipal ownership is in
favor of that method, and the results
generally indicate that a material sav
ing can be effected thereby. There
was no reason, he thought, why a
public plant owned by the city of St
Paul, could not be administered as eco
nomically as the city water works are
now operated. Such a public plant
might be put under the control of the
board of public works without any
change in the present city charter, or
under the supervision of a board ere-
• e< L u " der an J' new charter that
might be adopted. The character of
the service necessary to operate an
electric plant would be of an expert
nature, and, consequently, he thought
the objection that appointments to
such service might be made purely
from political consideration loses all
force. There are some objections to
public lighting by plants owned and
operated by municipalities from cer
tain quarters, but Mr. Albrecht thinks
that an investigation of the particular
instance will indicate that gross mis-
I management and political jobbery are
j responsible for the failure. The pres
j ent efficient and economical manage
ment of the city water works and sys
tem is convincing proof of the fact
that the municipal management of a
lighting plant could be handled in an
equally acceptable manner.
The arguments in opposition to the
municipal ownership of public light
ing: plants, the Third ward assembly
man paid, were we'l met by Prof.-Ed
ward W. Bemis in n. recent arf ;le
in the New York Ing 3 in
THE SAINT PAUL, GLOBE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1897.
which Prof Bemis summed up the
entire question in the following:
Where there is public ownership of a light
ing or water plant It Is easier to arouse the
wealthy and powerful interests of society
against the spoilsmen and the inefficient ald
erman than it is under private ownership to
arouse the same classes against overcharges
and the too often corrupt relations of these
monopolies with regulating legislative bodies
since in the latter case, these same powerful
social classes, as investors, are selfishly in
terested in perpetuating monopolistic rule.
This seems to Mr. Albrecht to em
body a complete refutation or answer
to the chief objection generally ad
vanced by interested parties. If the
committee should conclude that it
would be inexpedient to at once bur
den the taxpayers with a public plant,
it might be expediant to make a full
report showing the result of its inves
tigation of the subject with such rec
ommendations as it might conclude to
make. The entire matter might then
be submitted to the people for a de
cision at the next general election.
The second annual convention of the
National Street Lighting association
will take place at Columbus, 0., the
latter part of this month, and the
deliberations of the body would result
in additional light being thrown on
this important question. This conven
tion was, Mr. Albrecht thought, an
other indication of the great interest
being manifested upon the problem,
and the committee and the council
might reap additional benefit from the
deliberations of this convention.
A meeting of the committee at which
the matter will be brought up as out
lined, will be held within the next
week. The committee at that time
will determine as to the character and
nature of the bids to be advertised for
and settle the question of having the
street lighting done for the next year,
under one or several contracts.

PROMOTION FOR PATROLMAK.
Mayor Doran Says Gruber's Place
Will Thus Be Filled.
The resignation of Detective Henry
Gruber as a member of the regular
detective force, was handed to the
mayor yesterday morning. This ac
tion of the detective was voluntary.
The written letter was handed to Chief
Goes yesterday morning, and accom
panying the same was the star which
Gruber has been wearing. The resig
nation was transmitted to Mayor
Doran and at once accepted. No time
was lost by the mayor in filling the
vacancy, and Frank Anderson, a resi
dent of the Third ward, was appoint
ed as a patrolman. This is thought to
mean that one of the members of the
department will be promoted to the
vacancy caused by the retirment of
Gruber.
Mayor Doran, when asked yesterday
afternoon, if he had selected the new
detective, said he had not fully de
cided on the appointee, but it would
be a member of the department, and
he added that there was plenty of
excellent timber from which to make
the selection. The action of Detective
Gruber, the mayor believed, would be
for the good of the service. Among
those who are looking for a chance to |
fill the vacancy are James Y. Werrick,
George W. Wells, and M. F. Hallo- |
well, all three of whom are patrolmen
doing special duty in citizens' clothes,
at the central station. It was stated
last evening by an official, who is very
close to the mayor, that, while the
appointment had not been given out,
James Y. Werrick would be the one
to set the place.
There were all kinds of rumors about
the central police station yesterday, as
to the decapitation of a couple of the
officers who were mixed up in the ar
rest of Furey, and the after incidents
of the case. These- were, however,
only rumors, as Mayor Doran set the
talk at. rest in a short and pointed
interview with a reporter for the
Globe.
"Are there likely to be any more
changes in the police department
growing out of the investigation held
in your office Thursday night?" quer
ied the reporter.
"I don't know of any reason for any
j other changes." replied the mayor.
"You can say," continued the mayor,
"that the person to be appointed to
succeed Gruber will be promoted from
the ranks, and that he will not be an
outsider."
As to just when the name of the new
detective would be handed out the
mayor was not prepared to say, but
it would be within a day or so.

ST. PAUL MA^ HAVE AN AUTUMN
CARNIVAL REGULARLY
HEREAFTER.
OUTGROWTH OF THIS YEAR,

WITH ITS WEEK, OF FAIR AND
NIGHTS OF
FIRE.

NEW ORLEANS "AND ST. LOUIS
Must Look to Their Laurels if the
St. Paul Idea Goes
Through.
Will St. Paul have an annual Mardi
Gras, similar to that in New Orleans
and the feast of the Veiled Prophet in
St. Louis? The plans for such a car
nival are being discussed by a number
of prominent citizens, and upon the
result of next Friday evening's fes
tivities will depend in large measure
their decision. If the people of St.
Paul will show, by turning out en
masse in mask, that they take favor
ably to the scheme, it will be pushed
through and made an annual event,
one which will add to the fame of St.
Paul all over the country.
The chairmen of "the various sub
committees of the Friday evening fea
tures of carnival week met yesterday
and arranged all the details for the
warmest celebration ever held in St.
Paul, a glorious finale of a week of
rare enjoyment. Each event on this
gala night was assigned to some par
ticular spot along the streets."
First and foremost comes a masto
don thermometer, 100 feet high, which
will indicate how warm the festivities
grow as the evening progresses. This
will be on Sixth street, near Roberc,
where it can be seen for blocks either
way. Keep your eye on this ther
mometer as the. hour grows late; some
thing surprising will happen.
In the large open space on Fifth
street, facing the Windsor, will occur
the fancy and trick bicycle riding,
for which a number of the "cracks"
of the country have been engaged.
Then there will be clowns awheel,
bicycles of ancient date and doubtful
origin, extending back to the old
"bone-shakers," and all sorts of nov
elties. This will be in charge of C. H.
Gedney.
In the west side of Rice park will be
that wonderful new invention, the
"humaniscope," which is as far ahead
of the veriscope as the latter is in ad
vance of the old magic lantern. The
Fort Snelling band will also discourse
its sweetest music in the park.
On Sixth street, near the New York
Life building, will be a wonderful
event, worth traveling hundreds of
miles to see, the apparent reversion
of the laws of gravitation. Acrobatic
feats will be performed in midair, the
acrobats being unsupported, seeming
ly, in a truly mysterious way.
Close by will be another uncanny
sight, the rings of Saturn harnessed
and drawn close to earth for inspec
tion by the thousands of visitors to
St. Paul. These will be readily seen
from all over the city. • -
And not far- from th4s will be another
weird attraction, the terrific duel in
midair by two daring aerial gladiators.
These thrilling novelties are all under
the charge of M. E. Nichols.
The midway features, extending
along Sixth street from Rice park to
Smith park, have been -arranged fur
as follows:
A grand vaudeville show at the new
government building, a number of tal
ented performers having been en-
In the next block, a slack wire and
trapese performance, directly over the
heads of the people.
At the corner of Cedar street an
other vaudeville show.
In the next block. Master Richter,
the musical prodigy, and his com-
Pa A > full brass band on the balcony ol"
the Rvan hotel.
Between Robert and Jackson streets,
another vaudeville show.
Between Jackson and Sibley streeis
the famous Tedemayet Minstrel com-
The fire department will make an
actual run, every piece of apparatus
b*ing called into service.
This will be followed by a run of
the "Darktown Fire Brigade," in all
the glory of the days "befo' de wah;"
a burning building in Smith park will
be the object of their solicitude and
many lives will be saved from the
flames by their heroic work.
The war spirit has taken possession
of the Hed Men and they will charge
down the street mounted on bronchos,
mustangs and oayuses. They will take
several pale faced prisoners, and on
arriving at their village in Smith park
will burn them at the stake, in the
presence of the squaws and pap-
X">ooses.
But the crowning glory of the night
will be the Mardi Gras, which is in
charge of Wilbur Tibbils. E. A. Whit
taker, W. S. Dennis, J. George Smith,
\V. S. Tomkins and Clarence E. Robb
are also connected with this feature,
having in charge the clowns, reubens
and grotesque specialties. Every citi
zen in St. Paul is requested to appear
in mask, and the invitation is also ex
tended to all the visitors in the city.
The dining rooms of the Ryari and
Merchants' hotels and Litt's hall have
been secured for dancing purposes,
and an immense marquee will be
elected in Smith park for the same ob
ject. These will be free to the persons
in mask.
By this time that giant thermometer
will register at fever heat, and some
thing will happen.
For the "nights of fire," Wednesday
and Thursday evenings, Capt. C. W.
Hall is having some heavy guns cast.
In the civic parade • Tuesday even
ing, besides the entire fire department,
the many beautiful and costly floats,
the thousands.., of .• laboring men and
representatives • from the Jobbers' and
Manufacturers':, uaions, a number of
secret societies will also participate,
among them tine Bed Men, the Elks,
200 strong, and: the Modern Woodmen
to the number pf 300. The railway em
ployes decided; yesterday that they
could not turn) out! in a body.
All the railroads. I ; entering St Paul
will run special suburban trains late
at night so that the people living In
the surrounding cities may enjoy the
fun. The steamei* Gracie Kent, will
bring excursions from Stillwater, ar
riving in time n for ithe opening of the
carnival festivities' every evening.
Marshal M. E. Murray requests all
members of th^e barbers' union to meet
Monday mornfrig ait Ninth and Minne
sota streets at 9 o'clock sharp in or
der that they may take part in the
labor parade. Members having badges
are asked to wear them. Others will
be provided with badges by the mar
shal. All barber shops are expected
to close during the parade to permit
their employes to take part in the
forenoon demonstration. The mem
bers of the base ball nine will report
with their uniforms and will march
together at the head of the organiza
tion.
As the ball game between the bar
bers' unions of St. Paul and Minne
apolis is one of the features of the La

grounds, every member of the nine
Is requested to be on hand.
BIG SHOW OF STOGK
GRADES, AS WELL AS PURE BRED,
WILL BE SEEN AT THE
FAIR.
ALL CLASSES ARE ENTERED.
SHORTHORNS, THAT GRAND OLD
BREED, WILL HAVE ITS USUAL
PROMINENCE.
TWENTY-NINE LARGE HERDSTAAi
Missouri, Kansas and lowa Stock
Will Come in Competition With
That of Minnesota.
If a bumper crop of entries in every
department of the great Minnesota
fair of 1897, is any evidence that the
car of prosperity is rumbling along the
highways of the Northwest, that much
talked about car must be very much in
evidence. All the entry books at the
secretary's office are swelled out like
the cheeks of a gopher in a corn-field,
with the good things that have been
pouring in, and still they continue to
ccme. Next Monday the gates open
and the very big show will be un
veiled to an admiring- and grateful
people.
Last year the entries were 470. Up
to date, the entries for 1597 are 610,
and several breeders to hear from. All
. the old war horses of the show-ring
have reserved stalls, and a large num
ber of new ones have been attracted
by the big premiums and the reputa
tion Minnesota fairs have always had
for liberality, impartial dealing with
exhibitors and prompt payment of
premiums.
Besides the great show of pure-bred
stock, the entries in grades have been
very largely increased. This depart
ment is more particularly that of the
farmers, few of whom breed pure-bred
stock, and it is only recently that they
could be induced to bring out their
grades in show-rings when pure-bred
animals so far overshadowed them.
But the special efforts made to get out
this class of stock, which show 3 the
real practical value of pure blood,
have borne good fruit and there will
be a very pretty contest this year, in
the grade classes and those who wish
to see object lessons worthy of study
should not miss the grades when they
are led out for inspection.
Of course, that grand old breed, the
shorthorns, will have its usual promi
nence. The breed has done more than
any other to improve the cattle of
America and all breeders have a good
word to say for the blood that has
given the world a long line of grand
good ones. When shorthorns are men
tioned, since the Columbian exposition,
Henry F. Brown's name is at once
suggested as that of the owner of the
herd which won in that great contest
and at all leading shows since. This
year, Mr. Brown will show a full line
of shorthorns of his own breeding.
The young things of the herd are the
real test of the breeder's mastery of
his art. Any man with money can buy
good cattle if he knows them when he
sees them. If he don't know them, he
. car. hiro- somebody who does to buy
them. ' Hut when each generation of
his herd is better than their sires and
dams, he has earned his title and may
be counted a breeder in fact as well as
in name. Those who have seen Mr.
Brown's 1597 show herd say that he
has never shown a better one, and
they are all bred at Browndale.
Harding & Son, of Wakesha, Wis.,
who have been better known to Min
nesota people as exhibitors of fine
sheep, propose to shie their castors in
to the cattle ring too, and are on hand
with a grand herd of shorthorns, and
claim title to a fair show of ribbons,
while Hon. N. P. Clark, of St. Cloud,
who is one of the veterans of the ring,
makes up in the quality of his ex
hibits for the lack of the usual num
bers. T. R. Westrope, of Harlan, 10.,
is a new exhibitor and a good deal of
interest will center about his herd.
The public is always ready to toss up
hats for the one that can beat the old
champions, and the winners may be in
the Harland herd.
But Hereford tenderloin steaks rank
up with the shorthorn's and under this
class, Sotham's great herd is entered
for the fourth successive years. The
Sotham herd has won its share of
premiums during those four years and
always in warm contests, but this year
the indications are that the competi
tion will be red hot. J. A. Funkhauser,
of Plattsburg, Mo., who was not here
last year, and two grand new herds,
those of Steward & Hutcheon, Green
wood, Mo., and C. S. Cross, Emporia,
Kan., have all come with the intention
of going back loaded with ribbons and,
if so good an authority as the "Breed
ers' Gazette" is to be credited, it will
take good ones to beat the samples
which the new herds will send to the
fore.
The Black Dodies are favorites
wherever a hardy breed of rustlers are
sought for and their friends in the
Northwest are legion. W. A. McHenry,
of Dennison, 10., comes for the third
time with the best lot of cattle he has
ever shown. Gardner & Judy, who
have been off on Eastern circuits, have
now renewed their allegiance and will
contest with McHenry, Reynolds &
Son, of Prophetstown, 111., the prizes
to be won in the Polled Angus class.
This makes a total of eleven beef
herds, seven being the previous high
water mark.
The Red Polls and Brown Swiss cat
tle are perhaps nearer to the ideal
general purpose breeds, good for milk
and good for beef. In the Red Polls
both J. Li. Sanderson, of Centerville,
Wis.,, a new exhibitor, and J. W. Mar
tin, of Richland City, Wis., have fine
herds, and which ever wins, our good
sister state Wisconsin carries off the
ducats. In Brown Swiss, Squires, the
veteran Minnesota breeder, has usual
ly had his own way. but this year E.
W. Barton, of Hillsdale, 111., who was
here two years ago, and C. E. Cook &
Son, new exhibitors, will iry issues
with him. This will make a good deal
of a stir, as the entry of the throe
herds opens up herd prizes and the full
line of premiums in that class, and
there is something worth fighting for
in sight.
In Jerseys, Minnesota has entered
three herds, and lowa ono, that of H.
G. McMillan, Rock Rapids. This will
be Mr. McMillan's first appearance,
and his competitors are very anxicus
to know what his herd contains. Tn

Minnesota, Mr. L. Gillett shows his
Minnetonka farm herd; Senator Steb
bins, of Rochester, brings forward
some good ones, which he has been
breeding carefully, but lias never
shown here, and Col. Charles McKeeve
will exhibit eleven choice ones, with
a grand-son of old Marjoram at t'.n'ir
head.
In Ayrshires. the North Oaks herd
of James J. Hill will be on exhibition,
but not entered for premiums. As this
herd was purchased last winter with
the purpose of getting together as good
dairy types of the Aryshire breed as
money would buy, a good deal of In
terest will center in tfce herd. Many
think the Ayrshire a formidable rival
in this climate for the better known
Jerseys. Guernseys and Holsteins, and
the success or failure of this herd will
establish its value, as Mr. Hill is test
ing it in a practical way in the North
Oaks dairy.
That grand dairy breed, the Hol
steins, still keeps its position near the
front, and its sterling morits are more
and more recognized. The fine herd of
Kverett F. Irwin, of Richland Center,
Minn., is already on the ground, but
several competitors are on hand. Mr.
Thomas Irvine of St. Paul, will ex
hibit his superb Rosemount herd, and
Barney & Son, of Hampton, 10., whose
herd is well known here, is again en
tered. Besides these W. H. McCall,
of College View, Ind.; J. W. Chappell,
of Normal, Neb.; Karlen & Co., of
Monticello, Wis., and G. S. Cross, of
Plmporia, Kan., all new herds, will add
spice to the contest.
Altogether this magnificent exhibit
of twenty-nine herds and more to hear
from, numbering nearly six hundred
and fifty individual animals, wiil make
an array quite sufficient to satisfy the
admirers of all royally nred bovines,
no matter what the breed. What Is
true of the cattle department is true
of all the others, and in a like degree.
The increase of entries over previous
years is a surprise even to those who
were familiar with the prospects of
the 1897 fair, and had the greatest
hopes of it. With good weather every
thing indicates that next week's ex
hibition will be a record breaker In
every way.
Secretary Tallmadge, of the cham
ber of commerce, informed the Globe

In the case of Antony H, Eichen
laub, arrested two weeks ago on the
charge of having committed a bur
glary in this city in 1883, there ap
pears to have been a rather remark
able instance of mistaken identity,
and yesterday the prisoner was set at
liberty, having established to the sat
isfaction of the court that he was not
Charles Dart, whom he was alleged to
be when arrested. Eight years ago
Charles Dart robbed the safe in Peter
Bielen's West Seventh street butcher
shop of. $16S. Eichenlaub recently
came to St. Paul and war. looked up
as Dart, on the charge of having com
mitted the robbery. Mr. Beilen and
several other witnesses positively iden
tified the prisoner as the robber, but
Eiehenlaur. maintained that It was a
case of mistaken identity, and yester
day had sixteen witnesses in court to
swear that he was not Dart. The
witnesses had all known Dart and
positively averred that the man under
arrest was not he. Among them was
Stephen Burns, formerly the proprie
tor of the Market restaurant, where
Dart worked, and several waiters who
had at various times been employed
with Dart.
Eichenlaub came from ChllliolJ*.
