At the Emporium department store last evening the congregation of the Trinity M. E. church at Merriam Park was awarded the fine upright piano offered by the proprietors in the contest started some four months ago. Mrs. Isaac Bower was a close second.

The other prizes included a fine silk corset, a gold watch and $5 in gold, but at a late hour the judges were unable to name the winners because of the immense number of tickets to count. The size of the contest can be imagined when it is known that the judges had to count individually numbered tickets. FOR.

A CARD. CITY HAS 810 BALANCEJIN HAND City Treasurer's Report Shows St, Paul Has Experienced Prosperity. According to the books of City Treasurer Bremer and City Comptroller Betz, the year just closed was a prosperous one for the municipality.

The disbursements this year amounted to $4,833,832.67,, and the year previous $4,325,397.91.

The new year starts off with a handsome balance, one of the largest in fact in the history of the city, and which is now even being augmented by tax and miscellaneous receipts that promise to be considerable. According to the inventory taken by Comptroller Betz, the city's assets fGot up the comfortable sum of $8,413,739.50. The bonded debt of the city amounts to $7,878,100. The tax receipts this year amounted to $1,627,988.31, against $1,340,470 in 1901. Following Is the city treasurer's statement: City Treasurer Otto Bremer's annual report for the year 1902: Credit.

METZDORF HAS MONEY IN PURSE Public Treasury Is Much Richer Than a Year Ago.

The annual report of County Treasurer P. J. Metzdorf shows that during the past year more than 92 per cent of the total tax levy paid into the treasury, a showing- never before made in the history of the office. A collection of 80 per cent of the levy is all that is figured upon, and oftimes this is not done. During the past year, however, people have paid their taxes more promptly than ever before, the total current taxes collected during the year just closed being $2,260,064.02, against $1,863,008.89 for 1901.

The total collection of taxes, including the current and delinquent and the penalties paid, amount to $2,430,684.38 for 1902, while in 1901 the amount was $2,062,233.81. TWO WOMEN CAUGHT EMPIRE FINED Others Plead Not Guilty and Will Be Tried Under the Ordinance. The seven women and three men caught in the police net during a raid on the Empire theater Tuesday night were in police court yesterday, all of them pleading not guilty, except two of the women, who gave their names as Mabel Clark and Annie Young. They pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and were fined $5 each. Bail for the others was fixed at $25 each, and was furnished by Anton Weinholzer, the proprietor of the Empire.

Harvey Hall appeared as attorney for all of them, and the cases were continued until Friday. John Haskel, one of the men arrested, was also charged with vagrancy. The police say he has been engaged in inducing women to visit the place.
