Hoadly, of Ohio, as a candidate for President, would avoid all the antago nisms which exist in New York. Hoadly and Slocum, or Hoadly and Kosencrans, would make a strong team. The Prohibitionists of Kansas are just now making much of Senator Ingalls owning to the fact that he has written a letter in which he says that "no matter how it affects his candidacy, or that of the governor or any state officer, if the Republican party' of Kansas at the meeting of the state conven tion fails to pronounce clearly in favor of prohibition, it does so at its peril." Letter writing may be amusing, but the conund rum is, is it profitable? Mr. Benjamin Franklin Jones the new chairman of the Republican national com mittee is a very wealthy gentleman, but has never dabbled in practical politics, but: be ' longs to what they call in Pennsylvania .the anti-Cameron faction. He has devoted hi* life so far to getting money, and is a politi cal infant, and was chosen , because that transcendant quality will permit ■ Steve ,- Elkins to run things as he pleases.

'■$'■■& '*' J A NATURAL RIGHT. " At last the genius of woman has achieved a vent and a recognition together with a business support which must be regarded as a signal triumph over the obstacles hereto fore in the way of the gentle sex, wherein, notwithstanding alleged natural drawbacks and the ridicule of the masculine opposition, the sex has ever manifested an undaunted aptitude. . It is therefore with an uncommon degree of satisfaction over a long-deferred yet inev itable concession that- we , are enabled :to chronicle that Miss Laura White, an Ameri can girl, has be'en admitted sto the special school of architecture in Paris. • The French paper making the announce ment informs us and the generally interested world that a large number of French women are established in lucrative and excellent repute as house builders and decorators. The mayor's house at Passy, a suburb of Paris, is the work of a woman throughout, in design, together with all the carpenter's and cabinet-maker's art. In this country Buffalo encourages and sup ports an accomplished woman architect. It seems to be the initial advantage in a most promising natural endowment, for what envious caviller is going to deny that women are born architects. "What man rash enough to scheme out the plan of a house has ever been equal to the emergency of closets and pantries without the most obvious female intervention and direction. •;{•*- No masculine invention was ever quit capable of discovering the nooks and corners that can be converted into the desirable re ceptacle so precious and indispensible to the comfort of a true woman. The fame of all the renowned architects from Michael Angelo to Sir Christopher "Wren, and Pugin has been one-sided and really easy when 'tis only a matter of roof and arch and archi trave in big church structures. But positive architectural genius with the almost insur mountable difficulty usually in the way of such a heavenly heritage in its successful accomplishment, is displayed by the man who can compass the greatest number of closets in the most perversely impracticable space, to the complete satisfaction of the av erage woman. The Shakspearean analyist will yet divine that when any one of his characters is made by the tragic exigencies of his muse to seek the "solitude of his closet" it has a meaning deeper than the heart discloses, but one which even at that early day indicated a recess evolved " from the har rassed ingenuity of some poor mortals in the building line, and therefore a meet refuge for those in perturbation, or the minority who wished to pray, with a - visible reminder of another's distressful ordeal be fore them. It proves beyond any conjecture that the torture of the closets was known in those times, and it does not require the delibera tion of any Pickwickian club to puzzle over its significance. However, since civilization has been housing itself in the fashions known to different periods of architecture, the fit ness of women for the mysterious conjuring of closets in the places where they should be, but where the obtuse masculine apprehension has declared could.not be, for the reason of added expense in changing the original plan, has been conceded, mostly for peace sake, at any cost. But now with the vexa tions of such construction professionally divided, the 'male house architect instead of bewailing his fate in having to encounter the women who confront every stage of his building progress with closets, will study the problem as his professional sisters are doing lest they get away with the laurels and the profits of their ingenuity. Competition in the matter of closets will probably be the decisive element, and the fair sex has the advantageous start in a natural turn for such work of devising. The Globe takes the ground that it need be no question of sex in art, science, or work where there is equal and requisite ca pacity, v :'; .-;;.; v It was pleased to chronicle that Miss Mary Hall was appointed a Commissioner of the Superior Court of Connecticut by Judge Beardsleythe first appointment of a woman to an office of the kind. It likewise recorded that Miss Kate Lupton received the . degree of Master of Arts from the Vanderbilt University with the added dictum of the Chancellor that "she had won it in a masterly manner, having passed most satisfactorily all the ex aminations to which the young men were subjected." The Globe, too, at the time proclaimed the pluck of the indefatigable Lavinia Good sell, of Madison, who became a lawyer, and after admission to the circuit court, and gaining her first cases, one of them was carried to the supreme court where her right to plead was denied on account of her sex. She reviewed the supreme judge's decision, overcame him in arguments and then drew up a bill to the state legislature of Wisconsin providing that no person - should be denied admission to the bar on account of sex, and secured its passage. Her success was very remarkable in view of the . opposition she met from first to last. In marked contrast, is the course of Miss Lelia J. Rob inson of Boston, who was graduated as No. 4 in a class of thirty-two, at the Boston Univer sity Law School, and then asked the Supreme court for admission to the bar. Her appli cation was denied. Miss Robinson thereupon,realizing the ob stinate and unyielding nature of Bay State prejudices, wisely took an office in Pemberton Square and advertised her intention 'of de vorting herself to those branches of law business which do not involve appearing in the court-room, and for which a formal ad mission is not neccessary. Two women are now licensed as masters of steam vessels. " These are the triumphs of advancement— but the most satisfying occupation yet con ceded to the dear sex, is that of architect, and for reasons already hinted their natural excelling qualities cannot be hindered any longer. CURRENT COMMENTS. Ohio is rather quiet just at present as to poli tics, and the days of her leadership seem to be, temporarily at least, ended. But in Borne other matters she comes to the front. It is notorious that divorces are as readily obtainable there as in Indiana or Connecticut. . This free and easy sys tem enabled Major Andrew Grove, a rich old . chap of the same age as : Sam. Tilden, to get a. divorce from his wife who sewed on his buttons and darned his stockings for over forty . years. No sooner was the old fellow released than he made love to the widow Armstrong, who agreed to marry him for $4,000 spot cash. Just before the happy day the old Major made the acquaint ance •'" of the ; widow Ferguson, a lively, lovely lady who had survived the torments of ■ . more . than seventy Ohio winters. .-. It was a case of love at first sight, and what did the old geese do but elope, going to Sharon, Pa., the Gretna Green of that region, where they were properly married. The widow Armstrong heard of her rival when too late, and the only recourse for her was to bring a suit against her fickle lover for $s,ooo—that being intended to cover the $4,000 agreed on, with a $1,000 added as a balm to her disapointed expectations. i. Such' conduct would not be tolerable anywhere but in the privi leged state of j Ohio, and it is to be hoped the widow Armstrong will be able to recover the full amount she claims. M The frisky boys there must be taught a lesson. ."■"■;. >k y .V -■ ''.:■• lUf-?n .■-.- ''/•;£..■'■ — , ."..■■■ ■■ -'?*'•-.-'.? : |J Tbssb some demand lor [campaign: pictures THE ST.

Oleson, the too much married Swede, brought in a verdict yes terday of guilty of polygamy as charged in .the indictment. It was proved that he had taken a wife in Michigan several years ago, and deserted her to form a matrimonial alliance with a St. Paul girl. . Lloyd Porter, who, while firing at the bar keeper in a Jackson street saloon, shot and killed John Neary, who was passing through the room, by his counsel, yesterday, moved a con tinuance of his trial to the next term of the dis trict court, which was promptly denied by Judge Brill. : ■ /■ ■ ■ - ; The trial of Martin Grunders'on for the killing of John Kosk in the heat of passion with blows from his fist was brought on, the state being represented by County Attorney Egan and the defense by Thomas O'Brien, Esq. The indict ment charged manslaughter in the second degree, '■;. but it was not ; sustained by ■ the ; ' evidence, ' and at 9 o'clock last evening, after being out four hours, the jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter in the fourth degree, the severest penalty ■ for which is a sentence of two years to the penitentiary and the lightest one year's incaceration in the county jail. A brief history of this case is that Grunderson and Kosk sawed wood and did odd jobs on the railroads in copartnership until about a week be fore the killing. Grunderson boarded with Kosk and wife, his own wife being dead, and his three children not living with him. Kosk was a heavy tippler of raw alcohol, and that was the cheap stimulus used very freely by all parties in the domicile.. On the morning of Dec •30 all hands were drunk on this liquid, including a visitor named Martenson, who alone saw the fight between the two men. There was a fuss about Gaunderson's giving the deceased money to buy more alcohol. After stumbling about the house and falling down several times he and Grunderepn had a fight, which ended with the latter' striKing him heavy blows in the face, breaking his nose and injuring the I cartileges thoreofs from which wounds he began to bleed, and profusely bled until the time of his decease that evening. The theory of the state and of Drs. Markoe and Witherlie, who made a post mortem exami nation, was that these blows on the nose pro duced a concussion of the brain of the character of apoplexy, and that through them death was caused. They, however, admitted that the con stant tippling of alcohol might bring about the rupture of the inflnitessimal blood vessels found to be thus affected; and which in this instance by flooding the brain, caused death. The doctors further testified that the deceased was healthy as to his internal organs, and that there were no contusions on his head or body other wise than upon his nose, to produce such a state of things as discovered by them on the inner wrap of the brain. As an old gentleman remarked who had sat a silent spectator in court while the criminal trials had been in progress this "ended the gist of trials for the week, all of . which had a direct or indirect cause from strong drink."

Sufficient Heat Over the Furnace ' .Question in the Schools to Warm the Buildings. Ending Where It Began, ; In Favor of the Boynton-Prendergast Furnace. \ . The New last of Salaries and the New List . .of Teachers Adopted, An adjourned meeting of the board of educa tion was held last evening, when - there were present Inspectors Officer, Berlandi, Dreher, Hamilton, Minor Glesen/Athey, Ohage, Wamp ler and Mr. President. ' . . Inspector Oppenheim came in immediately after the roll call. . A . ,• I That the principal business was. "furnaces" was very apparent from the number of stove men occupying seats outside the rails. On motion of Inspector Officer the committee on furnaces for Adams school was called on to report. Inspector Minor read a report signed only by himself, and consequently a minority report. . It described the furnaces examined and reported them all good—none alike, none . perfect, but all good. But recommending the. Walterstorf & Moritz as being, as good as any and cheaper than all. He also read a communication ; from the Pruden company offering to put in a furnace, and if found inferior to the Salamander to take it out and replace it with a Salamander. Inspector Officer stated he could not agree with the conclusion arrived at by the chairman of the committee. '• ' Inspector Oppenheim moved that the report be not adopted.', • The motion was carried. Inspector Oppenheim then moved that the ten der of Prendergast Bros, for $651 be accepted. Inspector Minor thought the furnace business had been carried on to such a j length that he thought everybody was tired of it. The docu ment of the Pruden company should come before the board. He thought if it was not considered the law for advertising should be repealed. Gen tlemen came here and offer to put in the same furnace for less money, but it would appear that no one but Prendergast Brothers had any show at all. ■ ■: ■-■.-.- The roll being called on the motion of Inspector Oppenheim, Inspector Ohage spoke strongly in favor of accepting the offer of the Pruden com pany and voted against the motion. The motion was lost. For the motion—Oppen heim, Officer, Athey, Hamilton, Berlandi, Mr. President. Against— Minor, Wampler, Giesen, Dreher. Inspector Hamilton did not care who furnished the furnaces, but he, Mr. Hamilton, had had more experience than any one else; he did not want to try experiments. He knew the Sala mander was the best; bonds and guarantees amount to nothing. Prendergast had guaranteed to do certain work and they had done it; others had guaranteed but none had fulfilled their prom ises. Mb Inspector Gilbert said Inspector Hamilton had not stated the matter correctly. Wilson Brothe*' furnaces had done better work than Prendergast Brothers. Inspector Officer rose to say Walterstorf & Co. were willing to give their check for thousand dollars as a bond seemed to be ignored. The board asked for bids and bonds, and he was of the opinion that the board should standby their advertisement. He agreed upon the facts of the report but not in the conclusion ; he did not dispute the fact that the other fur naces may do the work as well and are as dur able as the Boynton, but he knew what the Boynton was. Inspector Minor did not believe in repudiating offers and going for Satemanderfirst and last and always, while they went through this clap trap, and nonseose of advertising. It was said bonds are useles but checks are not worthless. These men he said come here and make an offer and bind themselves to carry it out and he thought they were entitled to a respectful consideration. On motion of Inspector Giesen the motion was reconsidered. Inspector Gilbert said that he had moved for a committee to examine the furnaces and he, Mr. Gilbert, had had no opportunity of examining the fnrnaces, being left off the committee, and he would like the report jof that committee read to guide him in his vote. " Inspector Minor rose and explained that his was the only report and the other members had made a verbal statement.* ' '< ■ "•> ••- ■•• « Inspector Openheim asked if Walterstorf's was the lowest bid. Inspector Minor stated it was the lowest for furnaces offered, Messrs. Prendergast not show ing their ."Yorkshire." Inspector Gilbert insisted upon a report from the committee. ; On the roil being called the motion.was carried with nine for and three against. For the motion i. c. to accept the Prendergast bid, Oppeuheim, Giesen, Officer, Athey, Gilbert, Hamilton, Ber landi, Dreher, Mr. President. Against—Ohage, Minor, Wampler. Airanii. report. The superintendent asked what number of annual reports should be printed. On motion of Inspector Hamilton it was agreed that 1,000 copies be ordered printed. Inspector Berlandi voting in the negative. GEBXAX CONTINUED. Inspector Dreher reported for the committee on German recommended the continuation of German in the public schools. The report states that the system was open to severe criticism and the result was anything but satisfactory, and in order to correct the deficiency the committee recommended the engagement of one or more graduates from the German-American institute, of Milwaukee, and the appointment of a superintendent of German. The report was accepted and referred back to the committee for more particulars of their plan. ] Inspector Officer, on high school, reported leaks in the roof of high school building. Referred to committee on real estate.

NORTHERN PACIFIC. - / ■_ The Bradstreet Agency Make a Be port Which President Harris Promptly Refutes. ?;;, New Yoek, June —Concerning the report in Bradstreet's for to-day to the effect that the $125,000,000 earned by the Northern Pacific com pany for the year ending June 30, 1884, were not suflicient to pay the working {expenses of 66 % percent, and fixed charges, etc. President Harris, of the Northern Pacific ■' company, said to a reporter of : the Evening , Poet, that Brad street's might just as well have assumed that the working expenses were 96 instead of 66 per cent. As a matter of fact, he said, the ' working ex penses were not nearly so large as 66 per cent., and unless something: very, unforseen occurred, the company would have . a handsome : surplus after paying • rentals . and all fixed charges. The road had been so thoroughly built : and the equipment so excellent , that the expenses had proved to be unusually light, y Another officer of the Northern Pacific said the earning capacity of the road had exceeded ] all expectations, and if the earnings of ■ the year ■ ending Monday ware between twelve and a half and thirteen millions, as now almost certain,; the future :• had never looked brighter for the stockholders. Judging from the reports already received, the operating expenses of the first year, always a trying one for a railroad, would not much exceed 50 ' per cent., and there had only been nine months of thorough business. In regard to the gale Thurs day at the stock exchange of the Northern Pacific and Oregon • Transcontinental shares, deposited with the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. as security for a loan, the ] officers \ and ' counsel of the company hold ■, that ' Kuhn, ; Loeb & Co., had no right to close out the loan under the • cir cumstances, and that the '■■ firms \ action was . the cause of the serious decline? ■ in .

Everybody the Architect of Ms Own Payments- , '/' To the Editor of the Globe: , ■ 'V . It is an axiom iin \ insurance that everybody makes their own rate, of insurance. The man who builds a perfect building, puts on approved appliances for the prevention of fires, j and . occu pies his building for non hazardous purposes se cures a low rate ; while he who builds carelessly, as cheap as possible, a building with all sorts of deficiencies, neglects to put on preventive ap pliances, fills bis building with hazardous - tenants, as a legitimate se quence will pay a high rate for insurance. The common council must have had this in view when they passed our building law. See Sec. 35, building law. All business ' build ings being more than fifty-six feet high, covering an ar.ea of more than 5,000 superficial feet; also, all buildings exceeding eighty feet in heighth, shall have a two ond one-half .. inch (or larger) metalic stand pipe within or near the front wall, extending above the roof, and arranged so that engine hose can be attached from the street: all hose couplings shall conform to the size and pattern adopted by the fire department." ■ Also Sec. 44, "A1l stores, store houses, mills, and manufactories that may hereafter be errected in St. Paul, which are more than two stories high shall have doors, blinds or shutters made of lire proof fciaterial. On every window and entrance where the same do not open • On a street, or one within fifty feet of any opposite building; when in any such building, the shutters, blinds, or doors cannot be put on the outside, they shall be put on the inside, and hung upon iron hinges, or frames independent of any wood work—shut ters above the first story to be arranged so that they can be opened from outßide—Prismatic lights in iron frames shall be regarded as equiv alent to iron shutters. That every man makes his own rate, is more apparent in the case of manufacturing risks, especially woodworking establishments, than in mercantile. The nature of the business carried on is more hazardous, and carelessness in • man agement carries more hazard with it, on account of the combustible nature of the materials used in the business. "; The common council was wise in its provisions in regard to the class of risks. See section 48, building law. "No building within the limits of the city of St. Paul, shall be,, used or occupied, in. whole or in part, for any "of the trades or occupation hereinafter men ; tioned, to-wit: Carpenter or cooper shops, wagon . or carriages manufacturies,' cabinet and fnrniture factories, wood turning and veneer ing works, agricultural implement manufactories, box or shingle factories, or any other wood working shop, unless such building so occupied shall have in connection with it a brick or fire proof vault of sufficient capacity to contain all shavings, sawdust, chips or other light combusti ble refuse ' connected therewith and all such shavings and other light combustible refuse shall be removed daily from such premises to such vault. In no event shall proprietors, owners or lessees of such manufactories allow combustible refuse to accumulate upon any lot or in any buildings unless stored in a fire proof vault." J How many of our wood working establishments in this city have complied with this law of build ing fire proof vaults, and how many who have fire proof vaults follow the law as enacted, and still every one of them is or will be charged for this deficiency in their premium rate, and the building inspector will be called upon to enforce the provisions of the law. All wood-working establishments should be re quired to fully osserve the ordinances, and in ad dition those to should provide themselves with all approved appliances for the extinguishment of —standpipes, steam jets, mercurial alarms and fire extinguishers. Many of our wood-working establishments are in close prox imity to the business portion of fhe city, and •hazzard large values in property; hence the greater necessity of requiring strict measures of protection in them against fires. What is true in individual cases is also true as regards cities and communities. Efficient fire department, with all necessary apparatus and appliances, a thorough fire alarm system, with a sufficient number of alarm stations, a well regu lated police department with the necessary num ber of patrolmen, good and sufficient water works, a fire limit large enough to protect the business center where large values are concen trated. Such a law that it cannot be violated by any one, or opened as a favor j to any and a thorough enforcement of the laws and ordi nances, all tend to produce low rates of insur ance. Are .these matters attended to in this city j as they should be? Are our laws and ordinances enforced? Out of twenty-two recent ' applica tions for permission to erect frame buildings within the territory covered by our fire ordinance twenty-one were promptly granted. The ordi nance requiring the removal of lumber and wood yards by Sept. 1, 1882, from within the fire limits, has not been enforced, and new wood and lumber yards have been es tablished within such limits during that time. The fire warden has never been instructed as to his duties or furnished with a copy of ordinances under which the city pays him to work, and to day does not know how far he is permitted to go in the enforcement of the ordinances for the pre vention of fires, hence we have recently had sev eral small fires, resulting from stove pipes through the roof without proper protection. It is true that the actual damage has been small, but it ! costs from $20 to $25 to turn out the fire department to support these small * fires which would not have occurred had the fire warden been enabled to enforce the ordinances which is supposed to exist against this prevalent practice in our city. Are we as a city doing what should be done for protection and can we expect low rates of in surance until the evils complained of are re moved? With the very large increase in fire losses during the last year, a large proportion of which resulted from . faulty construction of buildings, and the evident want of such protec tion against fire as is expected in cities of the size of St. Paul, leads companies to urge an in crease in the rate Of premiums which must come soon, unless measures are taken to secure better protection through all departments of the city government.

Helena, Mont., June 28.—0n Tuesday night Ed Owens and Si Nickerson stole eight horses from the Benton and j Billings Stage company at Rocksprings station, a hundred miles northeast of Helena.
