The Subject of Albert W. Kelsey's Lecture In the*Teachers ' Club
Course. Albert W . Kelsey , the Phi ladelphia a r
chitect , w h o is t o lecture in the Teachers ' Club course on Friday night, i s k n o w n to several m e n prominent in public l ife in Minneapolis Thev have m e t h im in the architectural societ ies , the American Park and Outdoor Art Society and t h e Civic Improvement League of America. B y all of these m e n Mr Kelsey ' s lecture is being looked forward to, both a s a treat and a s a m e a n s of doing excel lent service In s t imulat ing interest in civic bet terment and beautifying.
The Teachers ' Club arranged for this lecture a s i ts contribution to the cause of civic improvement, a n d se lected Mr Kel sey to treat the subject by the advice of leading members of the Civic Improvement League of America , w h i c h held i t s convention in St Paul in September. Mr. Kelsey is one of the leading speakers of the league lecture bureau, w h i c h enrolls the n a m e s of nearly all of the prominent workers for civic Improvement m the country. The topic of the lecture is "The City of the Future ," a n d will be fully i l lustrated by m e a n s of the stereopticon. Whi le in the c i ty Mr Ke l sey wil l be the g u e s t of h is k insman, W . D Washburn.
to the furnace, coke g i v e s a fairly good fire.
"If coke is used, the fire should be banked w i t h pea coal a t night, a s in the case of soft coal. If hard coal is used, care should be taken not to w a s t e the fuel. Many m e n throw on too much coal a t a t ime, and much of the fuel p a s s e s out through the c h i m n e y In gas , giving^ n o results m the form of heat ."
Fewer Ashes to Sift. The plebeian a s h sifter is one of the
m o s t c o m m e n means -employed to prevent w a s t e of anthraci te coal. In a year of h igh prices such a s the present, the n a tural supposit ion is tha t the trade in a s h sifters would increase. Such Is no t the fact, however, for the hardware dealers report t h a t sa les In th i s l ine h a v e shown a tendency to decrease rather than to Increase. Frederick J. Frederickson of the W . K. Morison Hardware company said^to-day:
"We had expected a n increase in the trade in a s h sifters th i s winter on a c count of the h igh price of, coal. One would natural ly suppose t h a t w h e n coal w a s h igh householders would resort to th i s s imple and effective method of prevent ing was te . A s a m a t t e r of fact, however, there h a s been no "appreciable result of the h igh prices in t h i s l ine of the trade."
T. Frank D a v e y of the hardware d e partment of the N e w England Furniture & Carpet company s a y s that a sh sifters are less popular than ever th i s year. Said Mr. D a v e y ;
"The tendency this winter h a s b e e s to seek subst i tutes for hard coal. Soft coal, l ignite , coke, are used more commonly than ever before. In these k inds of fuel there is l i tt le w a s t e , and the practice of s i f t ing the a s h e s i s if a n y t h i n g l e ss c o m mon than in ordinary years . N o t enough coal can be taken from the a s h e s of l ignite or b i tuminous to pay for the trouble of sifting, and the sale of a s h sifters i s de creasing.
"On the other hand, the sale of combination, s toves , des igned t o burn anthracite , bituminous, l ignite or coke has increased. Hundreds w h o bought f irst-class hard coal s toves a year or t w o a g o are keep ing those s toves and buying moderate priced c o m binat ion heaters t o serve during the cont inuation of the h igh price of anthraci te . A f e w years ago coal w a s high, a n d the air t ight wood s toves became very popular. Many m e n sold good coal s toves a t a sacrifice to b u y wood s toves . Th i s year, however; m o s t m e n are keeping their coal s toves and buying extra heaters ."

T h e y asked Mayor H a y n e s to s ee that peddlers are kept w i t h in bounds a long the s a m e l ines.
"The lax supervis ion of w a g o n peddlers during the A m e s administrat ion," said Mr. Powel l , "had a demoral iz ing effect on the grocery bus iness , because a horde of peddlers were turned loose all over the c i ty wi thout be ing forced to conform to the c i ty ordinance governing their operations.

Five Additional Men Drawn to Insure a Quorum.
A special venire of grand .furytnen w a s ordered drawn this morning and the fol-1
lowing c i t izens have been se lected and will have to report for duty to-morrow morning: P . O. Earl. George Saunders , Arthur W. Hobart, Frank J. L y m a n , J. S. Matheson.
Owing to various reasons, several m e m bers of the original venire were excused or disqualified and the result w a s that t o day there were but seventeen jurymen qualified to carry on the work. Jt i s required that a t least s ix teen m e m b e r s be present a t each mee t ing of the jury and w i t h 6nly seventeen to draw from it w a s feared that a quorum would not be obtainable a t all t imes .
The work be ing done by the jury thus far cons i s t s of jail cases , the bulk of which will , i t i s thought , be disposed of t o day. Y e t n o municipal cases have been taken up and whether the jury wil l go into th i s work i s rather doubtful. I t is understood, however , tha t the county a t -torney'p office wil l endeavor t o bring another indic tment aga ins t Irwin A. Gardner in the near future.

L a Porte , Ind., Jan. 7.—Eddy Quinn, the notorious bank sneak, arrested a t Quincy, 111., for complicity in the Abingdon bank robbery, is thought b y the police here to possibly have been concerned in the a t t empted robbery of the Westv i l l e bank Nov . 30, and the murder of W e s l e y Reynolds.
Quinn is wel l k n o w n here, h a v i n g Feb . 4, 1883, in company With Gib Yos t and Bid Holihan, robbed Vail 's jewelry store in L a Porte of $15,000 worth of diamonds. All were captured in Chicago a n d part of the plunder recovered. Quinn served seven years in the s t a t e prison a t Michig a n City, be ing re leased in 1896. About two w e e k s a g o i t w a s c la imed Quinn re-v i s ted Michigan City and called on some of the former guards a t the prison, m e n w i t h w h o m h e had been friendly whi le serving h is t ime.
The theory of the local police Is t h a t if Quinn w a s connected w i t h the W e s t ville case, h e vis i ted Michigan City in a spirit of bravado and look over the ground w i t h a v i e w t o escaping from prison in case he should be incarcerated under a murder sentence .
