LATE MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.
A stranger went in into the rooms over Mur
phy's place on Western avenue last night and
kicked up a jamboree. He was arrested.
A fire at the St. James hotel created a tempo
rary excitement, but Harry Dayton voted himself
a full lire department and extinguished the flames
with a Babcock. Damage §50.
Capt. 'Chase had a lively set-to with a disorderly
character, who was kicking up a terrible rumpus
on Xicollet avenue. It made the perspiration
roll copiously down his manly brow, but he
bagged his man in limbo.
The sergeants of the police yesterday notified
all saloon keepers inside the patrol distrto that
they must s-.-l! no more liquors until the requisite
instrument, which costsssoo, is purchased from
tin- comptroller. Only three licenses were issued
yesterday, and it is pretty certain that arrests
wiil be made to-day. Then if saloon keepers are
tin ust in prison somebody will make Rome howl.
A fire broke out at 1:30 in Pt. B. Langdon &
Cos shaving house, opposite the Conkey plan
ing mill,on Tenth avenue south and Third street,
which was undoubtedly the work of lire bugs.
The building was entirely consumed, and a pile
of shingles and lumber was partially burned.
The loss will probably reach SI,OOO.
A lady fell from the roof of a story and a half
building at 709 South Washington avenue last
evening and sustained a compound fracture of
her left leg. Her husband, in his excitement
over the accident, also fell to the ground and
suffered a sprained ankle and severe bruises.
Dr. Collins was called and treated the cases.
Another large and fashionable audieuce greet
ed Keene at the Grand last evening. The bill
was "Julius Ctesar," and the performance as a
whole, was peculiarly strong and highly satisfac
tory to the somewhat critical audience. Mr.
Keene as Cassius was excellent. So fine was his
acting that it waa only the close critic who ob
served imperfections. When the fact is real
ized that the role is one in which Mr. Keene has
seldom appeared, his acting became a marvel.
This evening "Macbeth" will be presented.
S. P. MacHonald, the watchman at the Manito
ba railway bridge, stopped a rough from crossing
the bridge last night. The fellow took excep
tions to the order of the watchman, and pulling
his pop sent a bullet whizzing past, grazing the
watchman's temple. The two grappled, and in
the desperate struggle which ensued the watch
man was brutally beaten about the head and face
with the butt of the revolver. He finally euc
ceeeed in disarming the thief and then had his
finger bitten off. Meanwhile assistance came,
and the beligerent wayfarer now lies in durance.
The watchman is in a bad condition and will
doubtless be unable to appear in court to-day
against the prisoner.
Hattie Wheeler is a Chicago nymph dv pave
who has been plying her vacation at 251 Second
avenue South. Last evening she purchased a
ticket for Chicago, and was on tbe way to the
Manitoba depot, when a man named Bradford,
an acquaintance, volunteered to see her off. On
the street he said, "Hattie, let me carry your
satchel, 11 and she foolishly and unsuspecting" ac
corded him that privilege. Soon after four pals
appeared, and one of the number seized and
made off with the woman's satchel while
the one known as Little Mickey de
tained her. Her screams for
help quickly attracted a crowd, and the quin
tette of crooks scattered on the run. A citizen
colared Little Mickey, who was lodged in the
cooler. Afterward the woman identified three
more of the gang, including Bradford, who were
also arrested, but unfortunately the thief who
took the booty escaped and is still at large. It
was a rich haul, the satchel containing an ele
gant Elgin gold watch and heavy chain worth
?300: a necklace worth ?100; a set of bracelets,
§30, and coral ear-rings, £30.
PINE CITY, MINN.
LO(i DRIVING NOTES,
The first log drive of the season reached here
to-day (May 15) and are now sluicing through
tbe Munch dam at Chenguatonna. The logs
are owned principally by J. S. Anderson & Co.'
Kelson Johnson & Tozer lnmber company, John
Dudley, and others, including in all about 20,
--000,000 feet. There is sufficient water in the
flowage of the C'hanguatonna dam to create a
driving stage on the St. Croix, from the mouth of
Snake to the Stillwater boom for a period long
enough to drive them all in, if the owners so
wish.
All the drives on Kettle river, consisting of
about 30,000,000 feet, owned by Charley Bean,
Schulenberg & Co., St. John & Co., and others,
was hung up yesterday and the crews discharged.
The rest of the latter drive was driven down
clean as far as the Kettle Rapids, about six miles
above the confluence of the latter stream with
the St. Croix river. Xothing more can be done
unless we have heavy driving rains to make a
driving stage of wate. The rear of the main
Snake river drive, consisting of 4,000,000 owned
by various Stillwater' lumbermen, is at Mora
moving slowly. Rain is very much needed in this
section for agricultural interests, as much as for
log driving purposes.

The Louisville Races.
Louisville, Ky., May 14.—There are now 400
horses at the grounds of the Jockey club, Friday
morning. Fully 600 racers will be in attendance.
This is the greatest numbeT ever before assem
bled on a race course in America or Europe and
interest in the great race, the Kentucky Derby,
is at fever heat. The city is rapidly filling up
with strangers who, like the horses, come from
every section of the country. The Tennessee
representatives for the Derby arrive in the morn
ing. Fifty-sis new Malls have been ordered this
week, (iood weather seems almost assured and
the track is in splendid order. -There will prob
ably be eighteen starters in the. Derby, the
greatest number Btace the first one run. A sen
sational match between ttve crack three-year-olds
is promised, the nice to be three-quarters of a
mile, 9500 entrance, half forfeit. On Derby day
there there will be four races, the first a three
quarter mile dash for all ages,with light weights,
which promises to have fifteen starters. With
this unprecedented number of race horses here the
fund must be enormous. Gov. Knott and stuff
will be present on Friday.
METHODIST CONFERENCE.
The Day Spent in Discussing 1 Candi
dates and Electing Bishops-
Revs. W. X. Niiule, c. M. Walton, W. V.
Mallotien and J. 11. Fowler
Chosen.
Philadelphia, May 15.—At the conference of
Methodists to-day, as the order of the day lor 10
o'clock was the election of bishops, there was an
unusually large attendance. A motion to clear
the aisles of visitors was withdrawn as great op
position was expressed. Rev. ,). Spenceoffered
a resolution that the action of the conference
of '70 in giving the utmost
freedom as to the union of white and colored
work remain undisturbed. Referred to the comm
ittee on the state of the church.
Rev. Dr. llatlield, of Kock liiver, offered a
resolution, which-was adopted, that the tellers
and secretarii s to conduct the election of bishops*
be instructed not to indicate to anyone the re
sult ot the ballots before the same was made
known to the conference. P. G. Gillett, of Il
linois, moved that only one name be placed on
each ballot instead of four. Tabled.
Bishop Harris announced tjie tellers to conduct
the election of bishops. The tellers stationed
themselves in the aisles and the names of the
conferences wen- called as well as the delegate s.
There was applause in the gallery when Gov.
Pattison deposited his vote. rj'!ie tellers then re
tired id count the vote. A resolution was adopt
ed that the committee on chinch extension con
sider the expediency of the election by the con
ference of two secretaries. The board of church
extension will report to-morrow. The secretary
was instructed to convey the fraternal greetings
of the conference to the different Evangelical
bodies now in session.
When Bishop Simpson appeared on the plat
form, at the Methodist conference, he was great
ly applauded, lie declined to make remarks,
his health not permitting.
Newton Young and Sylvester Whelehead, of
the western conference, England, made a few
parting remarks. The Rev. George W. Xorris,
New Hampshire conference, offered a resolu
tion, which was referred, that it was the sense of
the general conference that no good man should
publish his self work in any patronized Sunday
newspaper.
Senator Conquitt, Georgia, and delegate from
Methodist Episcopal church of the south, was
introduced.
Rev. T. B. Xeely, Philadelphia conference, of
fered a resolution, that the conference reaffirms
tlie doctrines of the fathers of the church, that
bishopry is not an order, but an office for orders.
A bishop is hereby a Presbyterian elder, and he
said, there were certain tendencies against
which they ought to guard in asserting,'that
•'once a bishop, always a bishop." This new
teaching of apostolic succession methodism does
not blieve in.
Rev. \V. J. Paxon, Philadelphia, moved the
reference of the resolution to the committee on
Episcopacy. The Rev. Dr. Lanaton, Baltimore,
m.H the conference might as well reaffirm the
doctrine of the. fathers that the Methodist
Episcopal church is still the Methodist Episcopal
church. It does not matter if some reporter
who khows nothing about the economy of the
Methodist Episcopal church, call the" bishop
'•right reverened." The Key Dr. Leonard,
Cincinnati conference, said, if the general con
ference took the action proposed, it would in
dicate they were getting a little shaky. It will
not settle but entangle the doubt. The motion
to refer it to the committee on Epis
copacy was defeated and the resolution
was adopted.
Geo. \V. Parker, St. Louis conference, offered a
resolution, that the government be requested to
take steps toward preventing the practice of
polygamy in the territories. Referred to the
committee on the state of the church.
The tellers appointed to conduct the election

Walden, D. D., 167. On the second ballot
these two gentlemen were chosen, the former re
ceiving 272 votes, and the latter 214, necessary to
a choice 204.
The Rev. Dr. Xinde is of the Detroit confer
ence, and president of the Jarrett Biblical insti
tute. The Rev. Dr. Walden is of the Western
book concern in Cincinnati.
The thirp ballot resulted in the choice of the
Rev. Willard J. Mallotien, D. D.

sary to a choice, 200, The Rev. C. 11. Fowler,

11. A. Bvllz, D. D., 21. There being no election
another ballot was taken.
The Rev. Dr. Trimble in a few moments came
into the hall and stated that, by some
mistake, the ballots became mixed with
others. Large numbers of the delegates had

other vote being taken, which was done, and flu

Don Cameron Coming-.
[Special Telegram to the Globe. I
Philadelphia, Pa., May 14.—Don Cameron
who is now ou the ocean upon his return 10 this
country, after an absence of over a year, will go
to Chicago as a substitute delegate from this c i; •-.
The collector of internal revenue for this dis
trict, Mr. Win. J. Pollock, has been pnzzling
his head for a long time to decide whether he
would go to the Republican convention, to which
he had been appointed, or cross the ocean and
visit the Pan Presbyterian council which meets
about the same time at Belfast, Ireland.
Don Cameron's determination to go to the con
vention determined Pollock to commune with the
brethren across the water, so Don steps in to
take his place. At the last Republican National
convention Don Cameron acted as substitute at
different times for five delegates. His peg fitted
every hole. One day he represented a man in
the oil regions, on the second day when a Phila
delphia delegate got drunk, Don Cameron was
conveniently around. The question now asked
is whom will Cameron support?

CHICAGO.
[Special Telegram to the Globe.l
Chicago, May 15.— The markets to-day opened
up with a strength and activity that was surpris
ing, in view of the situation east, and which
more than justified the view of the situation
taken in this report yesterday, and had it not
been for the failure of Fist & Hatch the feeling
would have held good to the end of the day. The
grain markets were active and values very irregu
lar, but at the same time a better feeling
was developed. The crowd who were
crazy ■to sell yesterday because a lot
of stock gamblers in New York had
failed and carried down a bank T two that had
been backing them, was still more wild to buy
the.grain back to-day when they ascertained
that matters in that city were assuming a more
healthy look.
The extreme quietude in banking circles here
and the ease with which money was obtained by
those who had good collaterals to.offer also con
tributed to increase confidence and not only in
duced holders in grain to regard it with favor but
led many others to buy for an advance, yet there
was an uneasy feeling among a large class
of operators who were disposed to watch the
news from New York closely and a majority of
the speculative business;; was in scalping, both
profits and losses being limited; Hence it may
be said that Wall street advices were the most
potent factor in shaping prices which went up
and down as the dispatches from there were as
suring or panicy. i .
Provisions were quiet with only a light volume
of speculative trading, and there were no new
developments of a legitimate character calculated
to affect values in either direction.
Wheat was active and values very irregular
but the feeling far less panicy and the other
quotations averaged higher. New York dis
patches failed to show any improvement and the
English cables quoted dull and depressed markets
on the other side of the Atlantic. The farmers'
deliveries of wheat and the foreign imports of
that grain and flour into the United Kingdom
last week were reported to have exceeded the
consumption by 57,000 bushels. The weather
v.-as also fair and the general character of the
crop reports good. These influences
were - more than counterbalanced, however,
by the sharp advance of stocks in New York,
coupled with the announcement that the Metro
politan bank of that city which suspended yes
terday, would resume business to-day. The re
ceipts were also small being but fourteen cars
while the withdrawals from store for shipment
were 197,000 bushels of contract grades and it
was rumored that there were some export orders
here at about yesterday 'sclosing prices. In ad
dition it was known that the market was largely
oversold an.d those who were most anxions to put
out shorts yesterday were equally eager
to cover them to-day. July opened at
85>4@90c which was a strong y x c over yester
day's close on change, quickly advanced on
strong (buying to 91 He, when many heavy
operators who had bought on yesterday's break
for a scalp commenced realizing. Later advices
from New York were less assuring, more fail
ures among stock operators being reported. It
was also reported that there was trouble among
bankers in Kansas City and Leavenworth, and
that a Quincy bank had failed. This increased the
selling pressure and prices fell to 872£ c and after
reacting to 9u-.! closed on change at9o^@.9oJ.£c
for July. On the curb, or, more specifically in
the old call board room, from which the seats
had been removed, trading was firm but the feel
ing was weak on more failing being reported
from New York, and July wheat fell to a close
of 89?ic
Corn displayed considerable activity but was
nervous an.d speculative trading was largely be
tween local operators. Prices were more largely
influenced by wheat than on any preceding day
of the week, although the fluctuations were con
fined to a lower range than was shown
by the latter grain. There were,
however, a number of strong features to the
market. The receipts amounted to but seventy
live cars, four of which graded contract, and the
shipments were 100,000 bushels, while additional
freight room was taken in vessels to ship 131,000
bushels. The shipping demand for sample lots
on track exceeded the offerings from that source
and there was a considerable short interest which
the sellers were anxious to cover. These factors,
in connection with more assuring reports from
the east caused a steady opening. The first sales
were %c over yesterday's close or 58^c
for July, from which point they
advanced to 59c, receded to 58 '/c, and after re
peated fluctuations closed at 58;4@58?ic. On the
curb corn sympathized with the general weak
ness, and July fell %c.
Oats were only moderately active in a specu
lative way, but shipping inquiry for car lots on
track was good, and offerings large, the inspec
tions being 164 cars. June opened firm at 38 &c,
sold up to 83J4c and down to 33c, at which it
closed on 'change. July was He over. On the
curb prices depreciated Me.
Provisions attracted little speculative attention
and trading in the aggregate was not very large.
A steadier feeling prevailed, and fluctuations in
prices were confined within a moderate range.
The offerings were not quite so free, and the de
mand less urgent. Inquiry on shipping demand
was moderate, and the trading chiefly in a quiet
way. Foreign advices indicated .1 quiet and dull
feeling, with prices in buyers' favor. Specula
tive trading centered nominally in contracts for
July delivery. The market closed comparatively
steady for all descriptions.
Pork was only moderately active, . and
the changes in prices only slight, offerings only
fair and demand somewhat limited with trading
mainly in transferring contracts ahead. Prices
opened steady at about yesterday's closing fig
ures, but gradually settled back s@loc. Later
the market was firmer and the decline recovered-
Lard was in fair demand and the offerings were
not very large. Prices ruled somewhat irregular
within a range of s@lo cents, and closed com
paratively steady. The chief business was in
transferring contracts ahead.
Trading was light in short ribs and almost en
tirely on speculative account. Prices raged firm
er and averaged slightly higher. Offerings were
somewhat limited and outside orders compara
tively small.
The cattle market opened rather slow and first
sales showed a slight decline over the closing
prices of yesterday, making the decline for the
week 10@15c. At the decline trade became more
active, and about all the desirable lots were
sold. The dressed beef dealers were the
principal ' buyers. There were a couple' of
orders for Boston and export cattle, and the best
big cattle sold early. New York and other east
ern buyers were not operating to i any great ex
tent. Some of them claimed they could get cat
tie at St. Louis and Kansas City at lower rates.
Butchers' stocks steady; also stackers and feed
ers. There is a light supply of distillery cattle.
The hog market opened weak and dull, with
but few of the regular buyers operating. - The
first sales showed a - strong s@loc.
decline, and at - one time it looked
as - though prices would go lower. Later
however under more favorable advices from New
York, down lower, and the board of trade mar
kets, there was little better demand, but the mar
ket finally closed at about 10c decline. Both the
prices and the demand were uneven from first to
last j Whenever one or two of the buyers for the
big packing houses withdrew, down went prices,
and again when they resumed' up went prices.
In the sheep market there is little or Ino change
to _ note. r "Prices , remain uneven
and the .. market generally irregular.
There was a spread 6f $3.50 per 100 and
better for choice to-day. . The fact of the matter
was that a salesman who had good stock could
get almost any price he asked. The market con
tinues in a dangerous condition for country ship
pers. ...
McCormick, Kennett & Day say: '?■ ' 'The crowd
are talking lower prices for wheat, and if more
failures occurs, their anticipations will be real
ized. We consider the position of corn very
strong, but the price is high, and these panicky
times it is hard to tell what the market will do."
Crosby & Co. say: "The position of wheat has
now turned weak again. The stock panic has
extended further than was at first expected, and
under the most favorable conditions it will cause
a general shrinkage in values and a curtailment
of credit for several weeks to come. Many solid
longs took advantage of the early rally and un
loaded, and we think that oven the principal sup
port of that interest also gold freely. Wo look
forward to a period of general liquidation, during
which wheat will respond to the general situation
and decline more or less rapidly. The feeling of
distrust is so widespread that the trade will not
buy it and a sinking market will be the probable
result of the present nervousness."
Milinine, Bodiuan & Co. say: "The decline
does not seem to have increased the export
movement and it looks to us as if prices may go
some lower, even should we escape a Wall street
panic. We think the corn market is really a
strong one and higher pricos will not surprise
us."
CHICAGO FINANCIAL.
I Special Telegram to the Globe. 1
Chicago, Hay 15.—1n bank circles the day was
an active one, the rapidly advancing markets of
I Ik- lir.-t half of the day made necessary the certi
fication of a large number of checks of margin
account. The average sums were called for by
the borrowers, who were mainly of the board of
trade. Plenty of money is reported on hand and
going out readily on gilt edge call loans at 4{7?>5
per cent., and on time at 5@C

noticed in the local money market. New York

NEW YORK.
legrain to the Globe.l
.;. l.">.—There were plenty of or
;>c:v i ..... stocks this morning, principally from
the shorts and the opening figures were in several
cases from one to four per cent, higher than
those current last evening. Omaha preferred
recuperated about as quickly as any
selling at 90 as against 81 yesterday. There was
no reason for such a drop in so good a 7 per
cent, security. The market was held remarkably
well throughout the morning and this helped
greatly in restoring confidence.
The suspension of a stock house early caused a
break in Bankers and Merschants Telegraph com
pany stock from 119 to 45. The announcement
of the failure of risk & Hatch during the after
noon caused much excitement and a sharp de
cline in most all stocks. Lake Shore was
particularly feeble. Louisville & Nashville acted
very badly all day. At the last the market was
excited and weak.
Henry Clews & Co. say: "The tone at the
exbhauge was perceptibly better from the start
this morning and so continued until the close,
when another fracture was announced from the
rostrum, which at once caused a return to fever
ishness and a part of the advance was lost, Dis
aster only overtook two firms to-day, which was
a material improvement over yester
day, and neither of these houses were actively
engaged in the regular New York stock exchange
business. Their troubles are traceable to outside
schemes, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad com
pany causing the downfall of one and a New-
York telegraph company the other, bo that there
should be no significance attached to either sus
pension. The semi-panic, such as we have had,
is virtually at an end, and its effect has been
merely local:—confined to Wall street. The pan
ic of 1873 struck the conntry on the top of
the great inflation of the war and the panic
was one of magnitude euch as this country will
never again witness. The present period is not
comparable to it, as the state of things existing
then and now represent the two extremes—the
former a long period of ballooning modes of busi
ness, while the present is at the tail end of two
and a half years of savage liquidation. The time
has now arrived to look forward cheerfully to
building up again from the new basis
that thia recent squall has es
tablished and the recent breaks will doubtless
join in with the shrunken bulls in that action.
There has been considerable buying for London
account to-day, which is a favorable thing to
note. Capitalists should not now hesitate to buy
the good divided stocks, as such an opportunity
may not soon again present itself."
GETTING READY.
The Republican Sub-Committee
Pleased With the Exposition
-Building-
A Discussion of the Distribution of Tickets
With the Local Committee.
[Special Telegram to the Globe.]
Chicago, May 15.—The members of the sub
committee of the Republican national committee
are in the city to-day, for the purpose of meet
ing the local committee of arrangements. In
the forenoon they visited the exposition building,
and after a minute examination of the convention
hall and all the arrangements made for the
accommodation of the National convention, they
expressed themselves well pleased with all the
arrangements which had been made and the man
ner in which the work had been executed. After
their tour of inspection they held a private meet
ing in Hon. J. O. New"s room, parlor O, in the
Palmer house, and talked over matters prelimin
ary to their meeting with the local committee.
There were present John C. New, Indiana, chair
man: Mr. Cook,proxy for Senator John A. Logan,
Illinois; Hon. Powell C'layton.Aikansas; Hon. J.
Cooper. Ohio; Hon. John A. Martin. Kansas:
llou. Mr. Enos, Wisconsin.
A joint meeting of the sub committees of the
Republican national convention, and the local
committee of arrangements, is being held this
afternoon at the headquarters of the latter, l'i r,
Dearborn street.
Hon: J. C. New stated that the sub-committee
had come here to learn what had been done
towards getting ready for the convention. Thcv
had looked over the convention hall, and were
very well pleased. They thought it was the
most successful auditoriam of any national con
vention that had ever been held in this country.
In reply to aquestion from Chairman Raymonds,
the members of the sub-committee said they in
tended to pay their own personal expenses, and
that no other idea had ever entered their Heads.
The local committee would only be charged with
the legitimate expenses of holding the convention
and printing the proceedings. The tickets would
be ready for distribntion Saturday, May 31. to
the member of the national committee of each
state, to be given to the delegates from thai
state. The tickets appropriated to the local com
mittee would be handed to the chairman of the
committee.
A committee of three, consisting of Judge Carr
and Messrs. Iligginbotham and John M. Clark,
was appointed to confer with the sub-committee
in reference to the scats to be allotted to Chita
go subscribers.
A list of those to whom the local commit
tee recommended tickets to be given, was re
ferred to the sub-committee. It comprised the
judges of the United States and state courts,
the officials in the government, five tickets to the
head of each department, the officers of the
military division of the Missouri, the state otH- 1
cers, the members of the Republican state com
mittee, the presidential electors,the county com
missioners and officers, the board of aldermen
and the board of education, making in all 223. A
request for 528 tickets for stockholders of the
exposition building was also referred to the com
mittee.
Mr. J. M. Clark stated that the entire seating
capacity of the hall would be 9,241 seats^nclud.l-
ing the stage.

WANT TO REPEAL IT. :
The Republicans •■.■• Find' the Civil 1
Service Law a Very Bind- ]
, - ing One. (
And Would be Glad of an Opportunity to
Kepeal It.
—^^—^^— ]
[Special Telegram to the Globe. I <
Washington-, May 15.—Leading Republicans 1
are now discussing how to evade the civil service 3
law, and some are bold enough to say the monu- '
mental humbug should- be done away with. The '
11th . section of the humbug law provides '
that "no senator, representative or ]
territorial, representative of ' congress '
or any officer or employe of either house and no '
executive, judicial, military or naval officer of the
United States, and no clerk or employe of any '
department. of the government of the United '
States shall, directly or indirectly solicit or re- j
ceive or in any manner be concerned in soliciting
or receiving any assessment, subscription or con- '
tiiuution for any political purpose whatever from .'
any omcer,clerk or employe of the United States, !
or from any person receiving compensation from :
any moynes derived from the treasury of the 1
United States." (
Section 14 of the same act is a repetition of the {
foregoing, but applies only to congressmen who (
are prohibited from receiving any valuable ,
thing from any officer or employe of the govern- :
ment. Section 15 makes the penalty for the vio- '
lation of this section §5,000 fine and imprison- '
ment in the penitentiary for five years.. i
The Republican congressional campaign com- £
mittee, after several conferences, construe the '{
law to include in its operations each member of
the committee who is a member of congress
and -prohibits them offering to or ■ ac
cepting contributions from each other. The .
committee is regarded as responsible for the acts
of his agents, under the clause "directly or in- 6
directly." Under this construction the commit- t
tee will not be able to raise a dollar, hence there ;
is a pressing demand for the repeal of the law. a

W Gymnastics For Girls. J
Prom the London Lancet. ]
Should girls practice gymnastics? If so, |
to what extent and in what way We readily I
answer the first part of the question in the j
affirmative. #To answer ' the second, it is j
necessary first to consider in what, funda- I j
mentally, the value of gymnastic exercise i
consists. All such practice, we take it, ex- 1
ists in response to a need which is felt, I
whether it can be described or not — need I
of muscular tissue work as its function; a 1 |
need as real as that of nutrition, with which 1
it is intimately associated. ; On nourishment, 1
and on the due indulgence of this unnamed j
appetite for work development depends. It j
is clear, then, that exercises which will duly, 3
not unduly, tax the female frame are \ desir- 1
able. Putting the shot or throwing the ham- j
mer, for instance," as now conducted, are out f
of the question. \On the other hand, | dumb- I
bell practice, or that with j Indian clubs,' has 1
certain marked advantages, especially as re I
gards the training of the muscles of the up- 1
per half of the body.; They; are invaluable |
aids to fine deportment. :■ But we cannot see |
why a recent critic should prescribe the use 1
of the former ad libitum, while he would have 1
"no parallel bars exercise," "no trapeze, mo 1
horizontal bar 'or ?''ladder exercise." An J
ideal gymnasium r should > rather % include a 1
variety of methods,^he one to assist or cor , I
rect the action.of the other., What is above |
all necessary, is ;■ that - feminine, ': and .: even j
masculine,' performers should aim at '.what is k
due to their muscles, and should tax them,
not for labor nor for rivalry, but for health-;
ful recreation." It is also necessary, of course,
that any ; physical deformity ' or weakness
which interferes with the pleasure of gymnas
tic exercise should suffice to greatly limit it,
or even to forbid it entirely.
Bennett the Elder.
: Ben: Perley Poor Reminiscences.
; James Gordon Bennett in 1828, when in
his thirtieth year, became the Washington
correspondent of the New York Enquirer, i
which was that on the topmost round of the
journalistic ladder. It is related of him that
during his. stay in this position he came
across a copy of "Walpolo's Letters" and re
solved to try the effect of a few letters writ
ten in a similar strain. The truth of this
is doubtfui. It is more , probable than the
natural talents of the man were now unfet
tered, and he wrote without fear of censor
ship, and with all the ease which a sense of
freedom inspires. He was natur
ally .'••' witty, sarcastic and sensible.
These letters, however originated, were un
doubtedly a great hit. They were lively, they
abounded in personal allusions and they de"
scribed freely not only Senators but the wives
and daughteas of Senators.' This sort of
thing was a novelty then.. The descriptions
of toilettes, the cravats of the President and
the hunting saddle of his niece tickled not
only the fools but also wiser people, who
liked the sensation. These same letters es
tablished Mr Bennett's reputation as a light
lance among the hosts of writers and he
found a ready sale for the poetry and the love
stories which flowed from his pen during his
eisure hours.
A Mother's Dream, Saves Her Child.
Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin.
About 1 o'clock Friday morning Dr. C. E.
Stark was called to attend a girl who had a
tooth extracted the previous day, and who
was suffering from an excessive hemorahage
as a consequence. The mother said that Thurs
day night she dreamed that she was holding
her daughter in her lap, and that the child
was dying. She awoke, went to the child's
bed, and found her daughter in a critical con
dition. The doctor Vas summoned, and
found the child almost pulseless. Her gar
ments and coverings were soaKed with blood,
and he found it necessary to inject milk into
her veins to stimulate the circulation. The
doctor is of the opinion that if the child's
condition had been discovered an hour later
she would have been beyond help. The warn
ing dream of the mother proved most oppor
une.
He Knew it Was She.
Philadelphia Call.
Jones— you ever heard what became
of your runaway wife?
Smith—No, and don't want to. All I
know is that she left a note behind saying
that she had determined to go on the stage
and knew I would never consent.
—Well, I was looking over a Denver
paper the other day and saw a most enthusi
astic notice of the success , made by a new
prima donna, and judging by the description
she must be your wife.
Smith—A prima donna? That is impos
sible. My wife could nor sing a note.
Jones —But she may have learned. The
paper said she took the town by storm.
Smithßy storm, eh!
Jones —Yes.
—That is she.
