Foster Waldo, LUMBER PRICES WILL NOT SE MATERIAL ADVANCES NOT FECTED BY TRADE. Prices of lumber will not advance materially this year, according to the statement made by Secretary 1 J. F. Ehodes of the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's association, I which met at the West Hotel at 2 p.m. today for its fourteenth annual I convention.

Mr. Ehodes based his preI diction upon a close study of trade conditions and in the face of a slight shortage in the amount of lumber held by manufacturers as compared with the stocks of a year ago. Secretary Rhodes said everything points to an ex- cellent business year. The production 3 of northern pine in 1904 amounted to 4,500,000,000 feet. The convention began with an executive sessione this morning at whic matters of trad interest were discussedh.

About fifty lumbermen were present at the afternoon meeting. A committee representing the lumber buyers of Chicago protested against the specifications required in certain grades of lumber, established by the traveling committee. Dry Clean, Press Suits, $1. Waists, 50c. Vests, 30c.

Hoff's Toggery Shops. 27-J. MOST PASS A STIFF EXAM. QUIZ OF WIDE RANGE FOB HIM WHO WOULD BE SMOKE IN- SPECTOR. A competitive examination for applicants for the position of smoke inspector under the new ordinance will probably be held late this week.

Health Commissioner Hall said the examination would require an unusually wide experience and practical knowledge of firing. The ordinance demands that the official have at least five years' experience as a chief engineer. Aside from technical qualifications the inspector must be a man of pleasing personality and possess good judgment. He must determine when firemen should be punished and when they should be helped. But tho he is to be an instrutor, he is not to be a general superintendent of all the heating plants in the citv.

The first lesson will also be a warning and further instruction will probablv not be given free of charge. Dr. Hall says the position will be no snap for any one. It will require time and hard work. "AWAKENINGOFJIMMIE" INSPIRED BY THE BARDS to do with the mental and moral development of a boy brought up in the cir- cus and theater.

Mr. Hoffman has called his book Z. "The Awakening of Jiramie," and the motif was suggested by observing a young lady in one of the Orpheum boxes intently watching the performance of the Bard brothers, acrobats. Having beZf come interested in the Bard boys' acrobatic act to the extent of attending the theater several times, he discovered one afternoon that a young lady was doing the same thing, and occupying the same seat each time. Mr.

Hoffman's imagination has done the rest and the first part of the book has been completed. Mr. Hoffman conceives "Jimmie" to have been a foundling given the advantages of a preparatory school education, which he abandons to become one of a "family" of acrobats, "playing the cir- cuit." While playing in Minneapolis he has a bad fall and a young lady, having taken more than a passing interest in him, enlists her parents' assistance, and the boy is taken to a hospital. Then begins the inevitable romance, the awakening of the boy's mind to higher ambitions and, finally, his determination to become a business man and "one of the Chamber of Commerce Mr. Hoffman makes his story decidedly lical.

in that the theater comes in for honorable mention and his "Jimmie" is put to work in the flour mills, where he begins life over again. At Mr. Hoffman's request the Bard brothers have been photographed in several poses and from these the illustrations will be made. Mr. Hoffman is the author of several short stories, several of which have been published, altho he makes literature his pastime and takes more pleasure in creation than in publication.

To keep his concert engagement, he was obliged to cross in August during the calmest season, and even then he suffered severely from seasickness. He claims that his return trip in June will be his last and no monetary considerations will tempt him to cross again. De Pachmann has gained a great reputation as an interpreter of Chopin, altho this is by no means the foundation of his fame.

Even with a profound love for this great master he sometimes becomes disgusted when his managers and his public demand a large proportion of Chopin numbers on his program. Because he is so famous an exponent of the local managers will arrange to have him play a Chopin concerto with the Symphony orchestra. Harold Bauer is the only other world-famous pianist who has given such a number in the city. Previous to last year there was no orchestra and recitals'were numberless, but now with such an organization as the Symphony orchestra and such a pianist as de Pachmann, for whom many claim first rank and pre-eminence, it is possibleto give these great compositions and with adequate treatment. De Pachmann is peculiarly eccentric an moody.

One of his mannerisms is iving aloud the frankest criticisms of work during the performance. These are spoken in an undertone to himself, and sometimes even such words as "Fine, de Pachmann," or "That was are audible to those nearest him. When playing a concerto with the Boston Symphony orchestra this winter he turneol several time to Gericke, the conductor, when a passage particularly pleased him and said, Fine ricke," Ge 1T? QUESTJON I TRYING TO FIND ANSWER FOR I SLAN- DER SUIT, The issues in the noted Quist slander suit for $10,000, on trial before Judge Andrew Holt, seem to have been simmered down to the question: Did C. A. Quist while foreman of the September, 1903, grand jury, go to Joseph Kiichli and tell him that he wanted $5,000 and that Kiichli could get it easily from the public-service corporations? The defense is acting on the theory that it can satisfactorily answer the question in the affirmative.

Colonel W. E. Dodge, counsel for the defendant, this morning admitted that, in a private conversation with Michael Breslauer, Mr. Kiichli did say practically the words regarding Quist as charged in the -complaint. He denied plaintiff's contention that they meant Quist was asking for a $5,000 bribe as pay for stopping the grand jury investigation of aldermen and alleged council "deals." The defendant's version of the exact language used to Mr.

Breslauer was demanded by the plaintiff's attorney, James A. Peterson, and an adjournment to this afternoon was taken in order that the statements might be reduced to writing. Mr. Quist, called to the stand this morning, testified to purely technical facts relative to his acting as foreman of the September term grand jury and conducting a council investigation. Mr.

Kiichli was called for cross-examination under the statute, and in reply to questions, swore that he owned property valued at between $35,000 and $40,000 clear of incumbrances. Animosity between the plaintiff and defendant, and even between the attorneys, is apparent. Each party charges the other with political cunning and crookedness. The trial is attracting wide attention among lawyers and politicians. BOY WAS LED ASTRAY Emil Steen's Previous Good Record Prevented Severe Punishment.

Emil Steen, indicted for grand larceny in the first degree, was allowed to plead guilty to petty larceny before Judge H. D. Dickinson this morning.

Break Went Wrong and Temperatures Took Drop During the Morning HoursCold Adds to the Calls for Help at the Charitable Institutions. The mercury, since midnight, has been vibrating about the zero point, and the official temperature chart looks like a chromatic scale.

The weather has spanned an octave above and below the neutral spot. In spite of the fact that there are rising temperatures all thru the northwest and the predictions are fm- warmer," the mercury started to take a tumble at 10 a.m. and from noon there was a steady decline. The backbone refuses to break. The cold wave is moving eastward steadily.

At noon the pace was over twenty miles. St. Valentine's Day, together with the disorganized mail service, has rendered the delivery of mail almost impossible.

WILL NOT MOVE Biltrite Manufacturing Co. Declines Proposals of St. Paul Capitalists. The inventions of the Biltrite Manufacturing company, produced in Minneapolis, have been developed in the past two years by Charles J. Miller, for twelve years agent of one of the eastern store service companies.

Some of the most prominent stores in the twin cities are already using various styles of these inventions. The principal points of advantage are their great simplicity, ease of erection and lack of repair necessary to keep them in order, as well as the quietness in operation. The company had a proposition from St. Paul financiers to capitalize the concern and move it to that city, but local capitalists think so well of it that it will be retained in this city. This concern already employs about twenty persons, and this number will be largely increased in the future.

The immense chorus of the Philharmonic club is now holding two rehearsals a week in preparation for the Festival of Music which will take place under the auspices of that organization, when the Auditorium is formally opened on March 1 to 4. Two hundred and fifty trained voices have been at work since Christmas in preparation for these events. Aida'' will be given its first setting in concert form on the third night of the festival.

This will be the first hearing of anv operatic score in concert form in this citv with the exception of "Samson and Delilah." The operatic work while not so difficult from point of harmonies as the oratorio work, is extremely catchy, as it intersperses the solo parts. In addition to "Aida" the club has in prep aration selections by Wagner, Gounod and others for the opening night's pro-' gram. The chorus of the Philharmonic club will augment the children's chorus of 1,000 voices in the Saturday night's performance, which performance will excel anything of the kind ever attempted in the west.

In Paderewski's early career he en tertained emphatic opinions concern ing Berlin's claims to being the musica hub of Europe. In later years, how I ever, these opinions were modified upoi personal contact with Berlin.

At one time Paderewski played hi own concerto for piano and orchestr. with the Philharmonic orchestra, then as now, the greatest orchestra in Europe, of which the noted Dr. von Bu low was director. After he had finishe playing the concerto, Paderewski wa recalled many times, and finally yield ed to the demands and again sat at tL piano to plav an encore, a Chopin num ber. Dr.

von Bulow resented the en core, which was against rule, and, more over, he did not fancy two Poles, Padc rewski and Chopin, receiving all thhonors.
