8 WILL TEST WEIGHTS (MEASURES IN ALL CITY STORES •":.. .■,;. TO BE THOROUGHLY EX AMINED OFFICIALS WILL GET BUSY County Treanurer and City Market Master Will Employ Deputies to Do the Work Thoroughly. The official sealer of weights and meas • ures, heretofore an humble Individual whoso capacity waa so hidden under the forgotten tomes of the past that his exist ence was not known save to a few, may yet become an Important official and deal consternation wh.;re now rests security an.i content. In ,i month, prabahly Irs-, this almost forgotten official, arm ad wth the legal volumes under which his Identity and of ficial capacity have been bidden for ail these years, an I quipped with the staff Bclal dlgn ly, will cull <.n all m«?r ts and dva irs, and woe to him whose weights and miuis'ir^B tail to reach the si ;i ndard. The first step toward officially inspect ing the weights and measures now in use in Ramsey county and St. Paul, and the weeding out of all that fail to reach t'ne Standard, was taken yesterday, when Assistant Corporation Attorney unges, on the request of County Treasurer Mt-tz dorf. furnished an opinion, defining his jurisdiction, in which he held that the authority of the treasurer only extend ed over the county, while that of the city belonged wholly to fne city market master. Under the state law the official sealer of weights, the authority for which is invt-steil In the county treasurer and the market master, receives 6 cents for every weight or measure tested and on which the letter M is placed. Both officials have announced that they will employ deputies and immediately proceed to get busy. When it Is known that thrr» in hardly a mercantile eataoliHnniKnt or a small store In the city Inn which a weight or a measure of some kind is not l'ept, the 3<-b Is certainly a herculean one, and means many a 6-cent piece for the dozen or more deputies who will l»« employed. While the market, muster yearly receives an appropriation from the council of SIM) for the doing of ihis work, the amount given is insignificant with the tank, and an ordinance will shortly bo passed by the council donning his duties in. this line. Even wth sin appropriation ihe state law allows the employment of deputies, whose compensation is the foes they col lect. To be BtandarJ aid recognised as law ful, every weight an"3 measure In the county must bear tne state monogram, and It can only be put there by the offi cial sealer. The crusade which will short. ly follow is expects to bring to light many surprises in the shape of false Weights and short meajuros. FRONTAGE TAX IS VALID £1 I'H.KMIJ COURT STANDS BY ITS FORJVKEH DECISHOiNw : The supreme court yesterday denied the application for a rehearing In the case of the county of Ramsey against the R. P. &ewis company, the so-called watet 'frontage case. This Is a reiteration of the validity of the tax as far as this Court is concerned, and the only recourse left to the defendant company Is the •upretne court of the United States. The Minnesota supreme court first held the tax to be illegal, but on a rehearing fol lowed more recent decisions of the United States supreme court and re- Versed Itself, holding the tax to be valid. A rehearing was also denied in the C;im> <>i' ihe Robert P. Lewis company against Dexter Knowlton, where Lewis seeks to redeem a piece of property from c. tax title held by .Knowlton for the taxes of 1897. The amount of the tax In volved Is $862.82, and the supreme court fcas held in this case that the legal rate ■iff Interest on these transactions is 10 per cent. Lewis asked for a reargu tnent on that point. A rehearing was denied In the Mlnne dam proceedings, ex. rel., John Wendt and others against the Hennepin county commissioners. In this ca.se the motion was based upon alleged errors in the awards of the appraisers in fixing the amount of dafliace* caused by floods. VGRDJCT FWR MIIAVAVKEIE.

BHay Be (Sold for Scrap Iron, After Year* of Faithful Service in St. Pnnl. If the present Intentions of the library board hold goad, a month, pc-rhaps a week, will see the old clock which now adorns the library 'building, at the corner of Seventh and Wabaslha streets, reduce 1 to tin; scrap heap. For twenty-five years its faithful o.d face had beamed down on the passersby, though of late years Its variations and apparent lapse of memoTy has necessi tated the removal of its hands. First It held guard over the first theater in St. Paul, later tt bid "good morrow" to the crowds tihat surged be.neath its shadow* in search of edibles for the larder, while now, a, relic of the past, It mournfully greets the thousands who gath.r beneath its silence chimes in search of knowledge The clock wihen installed coat the city $2,5w and was considered a fine time piece in its day, buit dust and want of care has done its work and the machinery does not respond as' of old. With some repairs, the cost of which the board doea not care to incur, the timepiece might be made serviceable and for this reason an effoTt has been made to sell It. Some days ago the board asked the com pany that originally built It to make an offer and w«re rewarded with a letter from the company announcing that they •would give $25 for the affair entire. The pendulum alone would bring this In scrap iron, and if better offers are not received this may be iits fate. In Labor's Field.

MAY LEAVETHE RIVER BETHEL BOAT ASSOCIATION IS CONSIDERING NEW LO CATION LARGE BUILDING PROPOSED Seventh Street, Near Jackaon, Is the ProMpective Site — Coat May Anionnt to $50,000. It may be that the buffeting that Is being given the Bethel boat by the city council, Union Depot company and the Diamond Jo Line Steamer company will eventually result much to the good of the boat. At present the matter of the boat's location is unsettled. Rev. Mor gan, who is in charge, is satisfied .w*th the proposed location at the Jackson street pier, and does not believe that it will interfere with the landing of the Diamond Jo steamers. Present difficulties may hurry the real ization of a long-nurtured dream. For sev eral years the Bethel association has been considering the advisability of abandon- Ing the boat and building a modern Bethel building on land, much after the plans that have been carried out in many other cities. Lack of money has made the promotion of the scheme im possible up to the present time, but by some of the enthusiastic it Is believed that the project, properly presented to the charitable citizens of the city, would meet with approval. If the funds could be raised a central location, somewhere on Seventh street, In the vicinity of Jackson street, would be sought. It Is estimated that with $50,000 a model insti tution could be constructed that would be In a position to do unlimited good among the city's poor.

The old army ration for the tropics has been very sharply criticised for the reason that it consists of articles of food that any person even slig-htlv acquainted with the elements of food knows is not adapted to the needs of the human system in hot weather Nature shows forth In th« selection of food by inhabitants of various countries for instance, the Esquimaux in a cold climate selects heavy, carbonaceous foods, tallow, bacon and such r while the Hindoo and Inhabitants of hot countries turn to the cereals for sustenance We should follow this hint of nature and particularly in hot weather should avoid much butter, meat or any of that class of food. Perhaps a little meat once a day is not amiss, even In hot weather but the breakfast and luncheon should be made of fruit, one or two slices of entire wheat bread and some Grape- Nuts and cream. Grape-Nuts are men tioned because they furnish the ideal cereal food in a most palatable and de licious form, in addition to which, they are ready cooked and require no atten tion whatever from the cook, tw person can pass through weather that may be intensely hot, in a comfort able manner, if the food be properly se lected, and the above suggestions can be put.
