"FEAST OF THE LIGHTS."
It I* Gloriously Celebrated nt tlie
Church ot the Good Shepherd.
Epiphany, or the feast of lights, was
celebrated last evening at the Church of
the Good Shepherd with special exercises.
The church was decorated with Christ
mas greens and lighted by innumerable
candles. The rector, Rev. William C.
Pope, conducted the services, and Rev.
Mr. Kite preached the Epiphany sermon.
His subject was ''The Coming of Christ."
Father J. O. S. Huntlngton, of New
York, a member of the Order of the
Holy Cross, spoke on "Church Associa
tion in the Interests of Labor."
" Father Huntington is the founder of
the church association recently formed
in New York for the purpose of bringing
the laboring class in closer touch with
the church. He said In his sermon last
evening that the church was awakening
with horror to the fact that after 1900
years of Cristianity only one-third of
the human race knew anything of Christ.
He touched upon his work among the
East side tenements of New York and
told how existing conditions there seemed
to demand some society connected with
the church, whose work it would be to
ameliorate the needlessly hard lot of the
laboring people. He thought that a board
of conciliation should be formed as a
permanent Christian Institution to stand
between labor and capital. It was better
than a board of arbitration, he thought,
for the latter suggested that there was
already a quarrel, while the latter exist
ed as a preventive of strife.
After the services the congregation ad
journed to the rectory, where an
Epiphany supper was served and the
Epiphany cake was cut.

IT BEARS NO GREAT WEIGHT
WITH THE DISTRICT
1 , . COURT
REASSESSMENT IS NOT VALID
Such Is the Decision of Judge Lewis
In the Long-Pending Action In
volving a Board of Puhllc Works'
RcnftHcitament for a Work Which
Copeland Had Begun Without
Proper Authority of Law.
Judge Lewis yesterday filed a decision
in district court denying the appeal of
City Treasurer Horst for judgment against
certain real property, by virtue of as
sess- ment warrants, for reassessment for
constructing a sewer on Wood street,
from Starkey street to South Robert, on
South Robert street, from Wood to Delos,
and on Colorado street, from South Kob
ert to Clinton avenue.
Five of the property owners objected
on the ground that the assessment was
originally made by John Copeland, act
ing as commissioner of public works, who
was thrown out of office by the supreme
court. It is the first decision of the
kind, and would affect all the improve
ments ordered by Commissioner Copeland
were it not for the fact that In nearly
every other case the property owners
paid without protest.
In the memorandum accompanying the
decision Judge Lewis says in part: "This
is an application for Judgment on an
attempted reassessment for an improve
ment made while a so-called commissioner
of public works assumed to act in an
office, the law creating which has been
held void by the supreme court. The
original assessment for this improvement
was held Invalid because certain acts In
reference to such improvements required
ty the city charter to be done by the
board of public works were not performed
by said board, but were done by such
commissioner, so acting, without legal
right, and his acts in reference to the
original assessment were void, among
other reasons, because, under the charter,
the board of public works was the only
agency through which the city should
have acted in making this improvement.
"The charter provisions providing for a
reassessment are based on the authority
of the city to first make an original as
sessment. If there be no ground for an
original assessment, then the steps laid
down in the charter for the inception nf!
an improvement have not been observed,
and it is invalid. On the other hand, it is
not a reassessment because this improve
ment was never made by the city, in con
templation of law, and no original as
sessment was ever authorized by law.
•'Counsel' for the city contend that this
application need not relate back to the
inception of the improvement; that the
board of public works, finding an Im
provement in a state which is admittedly
a benefit to the adjacent property owners,
have the right to adopt it and levy an
assessment for the benefit it confers, the
same as if the board of public works
had ordered it there in the first instance.
The mere statement of this proposition
would seem to be sufficient to refute it,
for were it true, the city would be at the
mercy of contractors, putting in alleged
improvements, In the making of which
property owners would have no voice.
It is useless to argue this proposition,
however, because the charter of St.
Paul nowhere authorizes the board ot
public works to so act. For the rea
sons above stated the application is de
nied.' 1
REGISTRY BY CARRIERS.
Postofflce Department Addresses n
Card to the Puhlle.
Jan 15 the new plan of registering let
ters through the carriers will go into el- j
feet in a portion of the residence districts j
of St. Paul, to be gradually extended. In
this connection, Superintendent of Car
riers Hadlich yesterday received the fol
lowing circular from the department at
Washington addressed to the public:
In giving to residents of cities the ad
vantage of having their letters registered
at their own door, the provisions of the
"eight-hour law," as applied to carriers
make it necessary for the department to
exact certain requirements, which, though
easy of fulfillment, are, nevertheless, im
-1 Only letters can be registered; and
they must be ready in every respect when
the carrier calls, for he is forbidden on
pain of dismissal, to wait even a fraction
of a minute longer than is necessary to
write the receipt. _
2 Every letter must be Inclosed in an
envelope strong enough to safely carry
contents, and be In perfect condition.
The envelope must bear name and ad
dress-of sender, name of addressee and
his postoflice address; and have the pos
tage and registry fee prepaid, either with
stamps attached, or In money, the exact
amount to be paid to the carrier. The
writing on envelope must be plain and
If you have failed to comply with any
of these requirements, the carrier Is
I obliged to refuse your letter and hand
you this card. If it be properly prepared
he will register the letter on his next trip.
Your receipt will be written by him and
show the amount of money paid him for
postage and fee, when stamps are not at
tached to your letter. If there be a sur
plus, it will be returned from the post
ofFice.
Carriers are forbidden to make oral ex
planations or engage in discussions with
patrons, to register letters free, to ad
vance money or stamps to pay postage,
or to make change. This card shows
plainly their duty in every case, and the
rules laid down in It must be strictly com
plied with.
If it be found that your letter is unmall
able for any cause when it reaches the
postoflice, you will be notified direct.
The registry fee for letters, foreign and
domestic, Is 8 cents in addition to full
postage.

STATE'S BIRD STOCK.
Triumphs Won by Minnesota's High
Bred Poultry.
A smile of satisfaction played over the
rugged features of Leslie Parlin, vet
eran breeder of high-class poultry, as he
recounted yesterday at his home, on
PhaTeh avenue, irlumphs won by Minne
sota birds at exhibitions of feathered
stock recently held in Milwaukee and
Waupaca.
"Yes, it made those Eastern fellows
open their eyes just to look at our birds,
but when the scoring commenced and
cash prizes and ribbons and other pre
miums kept coming our way, they were
astonished, to say the least." Mr. Parlin
had charge of the Minnesota exhibit at
the Milwaukee feathered stock show,
and the Wisconsin state poultry show at
Waupaca. St. Paul breeders represented
at Milwaukee were Capt. Phil W.
Schweitzer, breeder of Blue Andalusions,
whose winnings were four first, three
second and one third premium. H. J.
Goette, breeder of Silver Wyandotte3,
winning five first, two second and one
third premium. Leslie Parlin, Buffi Co
chins and Buff Bantams, nine first, five
second, one third premium. George Hol
den, Owatonna, showed Barred Plymouth
Kocks: his prizes were first cock, first hen
and second pullet. At the Waupaca show
the same exhibitors were quite as well fa
vored.
"But these tell the story better than I
can," continued Mr. Parlin, smoothing
out a bunch of vari-colored ribbon and
carefully assorting a packet of cards,
the hotter reminding the uninitiated of a
Chinese laundry bill quite as much as
anything else. Both ribbons and cards
will be distributed by Mr. Parlin to the
prize winners.
"Eastern exhibitors," resumed Mr. Par
lin, "were greately Interested in the Min
nesota stock, and some of them express
ed the intention of coming to St. Paul
next month to try their luck at the an
nual exhibition of the Minnesota Poultry
association. And it will be worth their
while. The association is offering rich
premiums this year, and a number of
special prizes will be given by exhibit
ors." :
The splendid showing made by Minne
sota birds at the Wisconsin exhibitions
has aroused the enthusiasm of local
breeders, and adds a new interest to the
fourteenth annual exhibition of the Min
nesota Poultry association to be held in
St. Paul Feb. 5 to 10. There is no doubt
that many of the exhibitors enteitd in
the Wisconsin shows will come to St.
Paul, and Minnesota breeders will be
given another opportunity to prove the
quality of their feathered stock.
Two thousand catalogues containing the
premium list for the coming exhibition
were issued yesterday.
AUTHORITY ON MUSIC.
Louis C. Elson, Who Will Be Heard
on Lecture Platform.
It has been said of Louis C. .Elson, who
is to give three lecture recitals during
the week in the People's church, that
he can take any subject that could be
given him and talk for hours upon it
without once lapsing into the dull or
commonplace. More than that, so broad
Is his knowledge of music and so ex
cellently adapted for varied work is his
voice that without doubt he could sins
upon any subject as well with pleasure
and profil to the listener. He is equally
at home in an Oriental song, arranged
by that prince of the colorists, Saint-
Saens, an ancient Hebrew song, a Cni
nest love song, a sailor song and a
Greek hymn. -
From this wonderful repertoire of the
world's music Mr. Elson's St. Paul audi
ences will hear three classes of songs,
with their histories and the conditions
which gave them birth.
The lecture on Scottish song will be a
very popular one, and on account of the
recent great revival in Scottish literature
and in fact everything Scotch, the Peo-
I pie's church should be filled Tuesday
evening. Though the popular writers
of the present time are, many of them,
! Scotch, few have told us anything at all
of Scotch music. We know that each
clan among the Highlanders had its par
ticular songs and that Scotland has
been, longer than any other country, the
home of church psalmody. Little else,
however, of the story of Scottish mu
sic has come to our ears, though there
must be much that is Interesting to
tell. . .„
The second lecture in the series will
embrace "The History of German Mu
sic" from the thirteenth century to the
present time. This topic he treats in tha
most fascinating manner imaginable, find
ing grand literary and musical material
in the songs of the minnesingers, the
masterslngers, the inspired hymns cf the
Reformation, and the German opera of
the present time. His "History of Na
tional Music," forming the theme of his
final lecture on Monday, the loth inst.,
will In some ways be more interesting
than the others. He will sing many o"
the great national anthems at this lec
ture, those of Russia, Germany, France
and other countries, as well as SDngs in
spired by the great historic wars which
have at different times revolutionized en
tire governments. Finland music will be
touched upon, and the songs of Scan
dinavia. Mr. Elson has also some rare
and interesting things to tell in connec
tion with the origin of some of America's
national songs.
In each one of the subjects upon which
he speaks Mr. Elson proves his rare abil
ity to hold an audience. Stalwart and
graceful in manner, he at once enlists the
attention and interest of his hearers.
Added to this a fine, big baritone voice,
melodious and flexible, capable of the cor
rect rendering of martial music, tender
love ditties and pathetic songs, and one
finds in Mr. Elson such an ensemble as
should give St. Paul three evenings of
great pleasure and profit.
BURIED AT CALVARY.

The funeral of Mrs. H. W. Field, who

MM FOR 1W JAIL
RAMSEY COUNTY SEEMS TO BE AU
THORIZED TO iSSUE THEM
BY 1595 LAW
BILL ORIGINALLY INTENDED
Helping: Out the Then Precarious
Capitol Project, Which, However,
Weathered the Storm, So That the
l*n v»- Was Not Needed for the Pur
pose, hut It Is Believed It Would
Apply to the Jail Situation.
The action of Building Inspector Haas
and his two assistants in declaring that
the county jail building was "one of the
most dangerous bafldiflgs in the city,"
and recommending^, that it be "con
demned," has occasioned considerable
comment.
The board of 'county commissioners
Friday referred tne matter to the com
mittee on grounds and buildings.
Mayor Kiefer, who is chairman of the
county board, when asked what the com
missioners intended to do about it, said:
"The county has no money to build a
new jail buHding with, and, i^ my opin
ion, before any action Is taken in the
matter, the building should be carefully
examined, and its condition ascertained
by experts."
Particular inflection was put on the
word "experts" by the jnayor.
County Auditor Jehnsdh said there was
no money on hand with which to procure
a site, or erect a new jail building, and
no provision could be made for a new
jail until July, when, if the board of
county commissioners so determined, an
amount could be placed in the tax levy
for 1900. If this was done the money
with which to purchase a site and com
mence the new building would be avail
abi-e after Jan. 1, 1901.
A well known politician, In speaking of
the haste with which Building Inspector
Haas, as soon as re-elected to his office,
had condemned the jail building, said:
"There Is no doubt in my mind that
there is a carefully prepared plan behind
the talk of the present jail building being
unsafe, and that the parties interested,
whoever they are, have a scheme all
framed up, by which the taxpayers will
be called upon to pay for a new jail. I
have carefully examined the laws, and
am convinced that it is the purpose of
those engaged In the scheme to take ad
vantage of an act which was passed by
the legislature in 1895, and which author
izes the county commissioners to issue
bonds for the erection, repair and main
tenance of public buildings in Ramsey
county. At the time the law was passed
it looked as though the legislature would
not take any action which would allow
work on the new capitol building to be
proceeded with unress there was money
in the fund. To obviate this difficulty
the Ramsey county delegation secured the
passage of an act by the legislature which
gave the board of county commissioners
of Ramsey county authority, by a ma
jority vote, to issue bonds to erect, re
pair and maintain any public building or
buildings in Ramsey- coupty. Subsequent
ly action was tak^n by the legislature

which allowed the work on the new cap
itol to go ahead, and the act giving the
county commissioners power to issue
bonds was not necessary.
"Under the law then passed, however,
the board of county commissioners has
the power, by a majority vote, to issue
bonds for the erection, repair and main
tenance of public buildings in this coun
ty, and from the drift of things it is
undoubtedly the intention of those in
terested in the building of a new Jail, at
the proper time, to spring this law on
the county commissioners and insist that
a new jail be erected. The law, as I
recollect it, gives the commissioners the
right to issue bonds to the amount of
1-5 of 1 per cent of the assessed valua
tion, the bonds to run for twenty years,
at 5 per cent interest. You can readily
see that there would be plenty of finan
ciers in St. Paul who would gladly take
the entire issue of bonds should the
county commissioners decfde to order
them, and from the movements of thoso
interested it looks very much as if this
was the scheme. I suppose the same
old arguments will be used as when the
effort was made some years ago to sell
the property at the northeast corner of
Fifth and Ced;*r streets to the county and
have a new jail building erected at that
point. There is no particular demand
by the public, or the taxpayers, at this
particular time to invest $200,000 in a jail
building, and if the matter is brought
to the attention of the public there may
be such an expression against the scheme
that it will be killed."
The law to which reference has been
made was passed by,the legislature in
1895 and Is as follows:
CHAPTER 286.
An act to provide additional means for
the erection, repair and maintenance of
public buildings in Ramsey county. Be
ft enacted by the legislature of the state
of Minnesota:
Section 1. The board of county comir.is
sioners of Ramsey county, Minnesota, is
hereby authorized and empowered, by a
majority vote thereof, to issue and ne
gotiate the bonds of said county for such
sum or sums as may be from time to lime
considered necessary or expedient by said
board, not to exceed In the aggregate
more than one-fifth (1-5) of one (1) per
centum of the assessed valuation of all
the taxable property in said county, ac
cording to the last assessment thereof,
for the purpose of providing additional
funds for the erection, repair and main
tenance of any public building or build
ings located in said county. And said
bond and the proceeds thereof may be
used and expended for any of said pur
poses in the manner and at the times de
termined by said board.
Sec. 2. The said bonds shall be Issued
in denominations of one thousand ($1,000)
dollars each, with interest coupons, and
may bear interest at any rate not ex
ceeding five (5) per cent per annum, pay
able seml-annually, and the principal
shall be payable at such time or times,
not exceeding twenty (20) years after the
date of said bonds, as said county com
missioners may by resolution determine.
The said board of county commissioners
is hereby authorized and empowered, and
it Is hereby made its duty, to levy a tax
from time to time upon the taxable
property of said county sufficient to meet
the interest coupons and principal of Paid
bonds as they shall become due, and un
til payment of said interest and prin
cipal is fully provided for.
Sec. 3. This act shall take effect and
be in force from and after its passage.
Approved April 16, 1895.

Carnival plans assumed such shape at
the meeting of the board of directors yea
terday afternoon that detail work on the
organization of clubs and In other direc
tions may go on without further hesitan
cy. The plans that were submitted by
Architect Stem and adopted by the di.
rectors call for an Ice palace greater In
every way than any that have been built.
The palace will be 360 feet long, built on
narrow lines, not more than sixty feet
in depth, but the greatest front eleva
tion will be about 100 feet, and the great
length of the facade will give plenty of
opportunity for the fireworks displays
that will be arranged for the stormings.
The style of architecture being In the
form of a great keep, or tower, with b-it
tlemented crown, behind which the de
fenders of the palace will have their van
tage ground. Just below the top of the
walls and along the loopholes and win
dows, platforms will afford standing room
for the defenders, and the attacks will bj
made along the whole front, giving a
chance for a magnificent, display of pyro
technics.
Mr. Stem had but a single day to work
on the plans, but had them so far com
pleted that they were exhibited to the
directors and adopted. Mr. Stam thought
that if the work were rushed the palace
might be built in a couple of weeks.
A report was had from Mayor Kiefer,
chairman of the committee on transporta
tion. The passenger agents of the d.ffer
ent lines centering in the cities met the
mayor yesterday forenoon and held a
conference with him upon the subject of
rates to be offered the carnival. A reso
lution was adopted unanimously to the
effect that all roads make ths transporta
tion committee of the Carnival associa
tion an offer of rates of a fare and a
third for the entire nine days of the car
nival. Sales will be made Feb. 2 to 10,
with return limit of Feb. 13.
For two days of the carnival, the dates
to be selected by the committae, all roads
agreed to give a one-way fare for the
round trip. A minimum selling rate of
$1.26 was agreed upon. All tickets sold
will bear an admission coupon, good for
the carnival celebration, for which settle
ment wiH be made on the basis of 25 cents
a coupon. These rates will apply to all
territory usually covered by the state
fair rates.
Tickets will be sold at one fare, plus
50 cents, for the round trip, good for two
days, and at a fare and one-third for the
round trip, limited from Feb.t to 13. The
proposition of the roads was accepted,
with some slight reservations, which will
be adjusted.
A uniform of red, white and b'.ue was
adopted for the directors and officers of
the association.
The details of carrying out the plans
were allowed to go over, as the meeting
was very protracted, and the members
of the park board and some gentleman
will have to be interviewed in the mat
ter.
Eleven clubs were reported as organize!
and others in process of organization in
the railroad general offices, the Hoist and

the skating feature of the carnival-will:
report tomorrow, recommending the se-'
tectlon of Rice park for a skating rink.
It is found that an Ideal course can be
laid out for general skating and also for
racing events. A. D. Smith, chairman
of the skating committee, with J. B.
Meyers, F. E. Low, Ed H. Payte and

necessary to remove a few shrubs and a
couple of electric poles and will give a
circular course of from fifteen to thirty,
feet wide and about a fifth of a mile in f
circuit. It is proposed that this course
be-used for general skating, and that the
racing events will be held at this point;
upon three evenings. The park and
course will be brilliantly illuminated.
The racing programme Includes a series
of professional championship races open
to the world for substantial cash prizes;
