A pretty Katherine was tamed last night at the Central high schooi by a Petruehio whose most gallant appearance excused the seeming ungallantry of his conduct and the large audience that crowded the assembly hall To Its very doors applauded vigorously the principals in the lively comedy as well as the lesser lights whese well commitetl lines and careful acting added to the success of the play. In choosing for their class play, "The Taming of the Shrew," the- senior clans showed wisdom in selection, for there are no very great histrionic demands and the pretty costumes and serio-comic scenes serve to cover any defects.

But the defects last night were kept so well in the back ground that the auflience was able to recall the participants again and again before the curtain in token of honest admiration of their efforts. Miss Aida Fry as Katherine shared honors with Dwight Edwards as Petruehio. Miss Fry, especially, evinced considerable talent, not only in her reading of the lines, but also In gestures and facial She received many flowers. Miss Ruth McKlnley made a. pretty Bianca and the little she had to do she did well.

Clarence Randall as Grumio managed his comedy work cleverly and was ably assisted by Elmei Shepard, Myron Jackson, Harold Stephenson and Edward Guager, who played the part of the servants.

The ciiorue was directed by Miss Hooker.

Miss Evelyn Officer carried the solo parts. Miss Helen Austin arranged and directed the pLay. The Twin City Mandolin club played. Following the play the seniors enjoyed a spread served in one of the lower halls. ASSIGNED HIS PAY.

15. Stutzaian, according to the complaint filed, for valuable consideration bought the pay of Building Inspector Haas for the months of July and August, 1899, and was given an assignment of the same by Haas. When he presented the warrants to the city treasurer that official refused to pay them, in order to get his money back, Stuczman has commenced action against the city. The legal department, demurs to the complaint on the ground that sufficient facts are not set up to constitute an action. Stutzman is represented by S.

A. Anderi son, former county attorney. Jt was stati ed last night by one of the epresentatives I of the corporation attorney's office that the warrants held by Stutzman, and assigned by Haas, hart not been paid by th 6 city treasurer for the reason that other assignments for Mr. Haas' pay Tor the months of July and August had been filed with the city treasurer, and there was some Question as wt'-n of the assignments should be recognized first. The best way to settle the case, the representative of the said, would be to put the $416 which is due Mr.

Haas for July and August, 1899. but has not been paid by the city, in the hands of the court, and then let those who haveclaims against ij fight the' matter out. REV. Q. M.

MORRISON CALLED. Will Probably Gome to tbe Plymouth Congregational Church. Without a dissenting vote Plymouth Congregational Church society, at its meeting last night, ratified the action of the pulpit committee in selecting Rev. George M. Morrison, of Marshall, pastorate of the church.

The necessary form prescribed by the church law has been compiled with, and Mr. Morrison will, within a few days, receive a unanimous invitation to give up his Marshall pastorate and become Plymouth's pastor. i While Mr. Soper's departure is much I regretted many of the congregation bei lieve that in Mr. Morrison, they have a man who is fully qualified to fill their pulpit, and build the church up to a position of prominence in the center of the I city.

Mr. Morrison Is comparatively a young man, and in the short time that I he was in St. Paul made a lasting im- I presslon on all the congregation with 'whom he came in contact.

Dr. Bliss laid apecial emphasis on the fact that woman's work was very largely supplementary to that of man. A daughter, or even a wife, went out to work to supplement the earning capacity of the man, but at supplementary wages. Therefore, when a woman alone was compelled to work for supplementary wages with nothing to supplement, the conditions were deplorable. Dr.

RAP AT STATE BOARD COUNTY MEMBERS DKNOI ACTION CONCERNING ABATEMENTS AS I7NJLST AND ARBITRARY PASS DRASTIC RESOLUTIONS County Board of Abatement Completes Its Work of Equalization of Personal Property Taxes, Although Applications May Be Filed Until Feb. of Showing Original Assessment. The county board of abatement yesterday hit the state board of abatement by the adoption of a resolution denouncing as unjust, arbitrary and imperiling the interests of St. Paul the action of the latter body in refusing to countenance certain abatements made by the county board.

The text of the resolution, which was introduced by Assemblyman Benson, and a copy of which was ordered sent to the state auditor, is as follows: Whereas, Those officials of the county of Ramsey and the city of St. Paul in whom by law is vested the authority and upon whom is imposed the duty of as- sessifig the taxable real and personal property situate within the borders of said city and county and of completing the levy thereon of such an annual tax as may be necessary and essential to the maintenance of the city, county and state governments, did heretofore duly determine upon the assessed valuation of the said real and personal property situate within the limits of the said city and county for the purpose of taxation as aforesaid, and have further heretofore levied such customary annual tax for the purposes aforesaid, and Whereas, In determining the assessed valuation of taxable property, as hereinabove recited, the inaccuracies and discrepancies heretofore existing, by reason of which the taxable property within' city of St. Paul has heretofore borne much more than its just and proportionate share of the expense of state and county government administration were avoided and corrected, and the said assessed valuation of taxable property within the limits of said city was tixed and determined upon at an amount such that It would be-compelled to respond equitably, justly and proportionately toward state and county governmental expense and not otherwise, and Whereas, That state authorities, in apparently open disregard of the honestly directed efforts of the local officials subsequently to equalize and abate individual and particular instances of inequality of assessment and to impose upon what may termed the Industrial and mercantile interest what should be the proper, just and equitable share of the expenses of the general government and no more, have arbitrarily altered and increased, in effect, the burden of taxation to be borne by the industrial, mercantile and business interests of the city of St. Paul, to an extent that will grievously and seriously impede the success of those interests, and will result in a contribution of them to the public treasury much in excess of that which equity and justice and fair dealing would require, and Whereas, The said state authorities are pursuing a course indicative of a well defined purpose to impose an unequal, an unfair and grossly excessive tax rate upon property owned and held by the citizens of St. Paul and to relieve other counties and localities of the state of Minnesota of thoir fair and proportionate share of their burdens of governmental charges, In that they continuously and uniformly refuse to concur in the just abatement and equitable adjustment of excessive taxes as they in individual instances, such as to amount to tyrannical exercise of the power to compel contribution by taxation.

Therefore, be It resolved, by the board of abatement for the city of St. Paul and county of Ramsey, That we regard the action of the state authorities above re, cited as improper from the point of view of discretion, unjust so far as the equity of existing conditions is concerned, and unauthorized by an honest regard for the intent of the laws relating thereto, and for the foregoing reason we earnestly but respectfully protest against the course, of action pursued by the state authorities both on behalf of those of our citizens, whom we are persuaded are thus being compelled to respond to an unfair disproportionate and unjust rate of taxation, and on behalf of those local officials whose honest effort at the performance of the duties upon them imposed by law are thus effectively thwarted. The session yesterday practically completed the work of the board in equalizing personal property taxes, although applications may be' filed until Feb. 28, and the board will meet again next Monday. special committee to which applications had been referred reported in favor of allowing about eighty of the 200 claims under consideration and the report was adopted without protest.

The assessments as corrected must go before the state auditor, who has the option of either accepting or rejecting the suggestions of the board.
