CONTEMPTANDSCORN The Minneapolis Tribune Still Being Dissected By Press i. and Public. A Storm of Indignation Over the Insult Offered the President's Wife. Evidences of Probable Seces sion From the Knights of Labor Ranks. Memories of the Exposition— Liberati's Farewell—Can Saloons Run Sunday? A WOMAN'S WIT Turned Upon the Tribune's .In- suiting EditorialAn Expose. To the Editor of the Globe. Although the recent insulting thrust made by the Tribune may have been sufficiently recalled and condemned, 1 desire to speak of the affair from a woman's standpoint, knowing that I voice the sentiment of hundreds of -Minneapolis women, So far as a woman can be anything politically, 1 am a Re publican, consequently am not a devotee at Cleveland's shrine, 1 am one among thousands of loyal American women who have lor more than a year looked upon Frames Folsom Cleveland as the representative of ail that is chaste, modest, pure, dignified; in short, all that is womanly. From the ranks of the people, a sim ple attorney's daughter, she took her place at "our president's"- side the first lady of the laud. There was no vulgar display at the marriage, either in dress or appointments. Every detail of the affair betokened the quiet, retiring ele gant taste that has characterized the lady's subsequent life. Everywhere, as hostess at the White house the guest of distinguished people in other cities, as sisting her mother in entertaining friends at Oak View, or later at her husband's side the guest of the Ameri can public she has borne herself with a demeanor at once modest and dignified, with an unselfishness that has sacrificed } personal comfort and rendered apparent ter desire to please the people who have so honored her husband. There has never be en at any time a shadow of cause for the assertion made in tin' Tri bune editorial and the writer, or rather the man who dictated that article, must have measured the worthy couple in question in his own family half bushel, which, unfortunately, is too infinitely small intellectally,morally and socially. If a woman must have motives for mar rying a man (other than love and es teem) why not question or seek to find! the motives of a woman who could marry a man whose vanity, egotism ami shallow brains render him repulsive to people of good taste? Seal-skin coats, white satin vests, and frilled shirt fronts cost money to be sure, but there are women of excellent taste who could not be prevailed upon to marry a brain less dude, even though he were the for tunate possessor of all these—parts his hair in the middle, owns newspaper stock, has a military title and hails from Boston. Speaking of motives, and while in search of them, it has been suggested that the article in question may have been written to give vent to indignation caused by personal slights. Those who read between the lines, and who know a certain managing editor well, are not slow to form their conclu sions. Although Mr. Blethen has been widely credited with the authorship of the contemptible article, it is now gen erally known, and goes without saying, that the nominal head of the Tribune's editorial department should be held re- Sponsible and socially ostracised for it. The fact that he has been denominated in society as a "ladies' man." that sim pering silliness speaks of him as "so stunning sweet, don't you know," weighs nothing with women of sound sense, and they recognize the fact that a man who would, after her departure from a city where she had been invited by an admiring public, assail a woman Who is known for her noble qualities, as ' is Mrs. Cleveland, accusing her of noth ing less than prostitution for the sake of social honors, is too low for good so ciety. Who but he would have seen any im propriety in the fact that the daughter of an idolized father should respect that father' ."trusted friend? or find food or foul slander in the fact that while the father rested in him the confidence necessary to lead him to make that friend his only child's guardian and counselor? the daughter confided in him also, learned to love him and be came his wife? Who but a man puffed up with personal vanity, who worships his own image in a mirror, pomades his hair and waxes his mustache would ridicule another's physique or traduce a man for what he considers a deficiency in personal charms? It is generally believed that the Trib une's subsequent communications de fending the original insult were ded icated by the same head and heart, and it is known that stung to the quick by the condemnations of an angry, indig nant public, he wrote another con temptible article, the publication of which Mr. Blethen, as manager, would not permit. It is a pity that the Tribune's gentle manly associate editor should have been the mouthpiece for so vile and insult ing accusations, and a still greater pity that the gentleman who so ably man age-, the editorial department on or dinary occasions is not its dictatorial head. < * ** THE ROAST CONTINUES. □ [-.Journalistic Degradation. Biainerd Journal. The Minneapolis Tribune, seeing that the visit of President Cleveland and wife has made a very favorable impres sion, is now trying to manufacture po litical plunder by making disparaging remarks about Mrs. Cleveland. Shame on such journalistic degradation. Losing Subscribers. Diil.uh Herald. The Minneapolis Tribune and Journal are both conspicuously silent about the Tribune's comments on Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. There are many Tribune subscribers who are not silent, how ever, and the business office of that sheet is becoming painfully aware of the fact Of the Same Stripe. Fergus Falls Journal. The Democrats burned Editor Blethen in effigy in Minneapolis Thursday night, because of the Tribune's caustic edi torial on Cleveland. They could not stand the amount of cold facts it con tained and had to let out their wrath somehow. Will Lose Respect. Hudson (Wis.) Republican. Those who ever had any respect for the Minneapolis Tribune will be likely to lose it as soon as they know of its un called for and disgraceful criticism of, Mrs. Cleveland mid her husband while they were guests of the city. The friends: of the president and of common decency, should patronize some paper besides the Tribune.. .*£?: ■''.•■:-':';• A Blackguard Insult. Chicago News. .-^^H ['■'■ It was a feeling of just resentment of a blackguard insult to an honest wo man that prompted a mass meeting of Indignant citizens of : Minneapolis last night to burn in effigy the editor of a newspaper there. This man, emulating better known organ-grinders in other parts of the country, published an inde cent insult *to the character of Mrs. Cleveland, charging her with marrying the president from motives other than those of affection, and attacking her husband in even less respectful terms. It was proper that the people of Minne apolis should object to this brutal pub lication and they deserve applause for the hospitable feeling that prompts them to rebuke the assassin of the char acter of an honored guest.-'•*■»■«?«,;• For Young Mr. Haskell. Omaha Republican. Mr. blethen claims that he! was called away from his office on the night pre ceding the publication of the offensive article, and so knew nothing of it until after its publication; but this will hardly be acceptable as a satisfactory excuse. As owner and editor of the paper he has no right to keep in the re sponsible position of managing editor a man who will permit im proper use of its columns during the absence of his chief. It is the duty of a managing editor to see that the general policy of the paper is not changed without the knowledge and consent of the responsible editor, and the latter is rightfully held responsible for the acts of the former. It is the editor's business to keep safe men in his employ or himself supervise the col umns of his paper. There would seem to be no excuse possible for an attack upon Mrs. Cleve land. Her whole conduct in connection with the trip, as the Republican has already said, is such as to command for her only the highest praise as wife and woman. Mr. Cleveland's act as presi dent and candidate are an alto gether different■-. thing. In both re spects he is open to criticism, and the Republican does not hesitate to criticise him sharply, but it considers any coupling of the name of husband anil wife in connection with a charge that the trip of the president is made as an electioneering tour as unjournalistic, and a breach of manners which cannot be too severely condemned. Injurious to the Author Only. Eau Claire News. The coarse, repulsive and abusive ar ticle upon Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, printed in the Minneapolis Tribune on Wednesday, has disg listed the great mass of Republicans in that city. Any thing that a paper so lost to all decency as the Tribune seems to be, will not in jure either President Cleveland or his wife. Such attacks only injure the authors. Will Lessen the List. Put nth Journal. The .Minneapolis Tribune is being scored unmercifully by the state press for its comment on Mr. and Mrs. Cleve land. The Duluth Democrats are also indignant, particularly those who at tended the twin city inspection, and the Tribune list in this city will be lessened somewhat. Small Creatures in Politics. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The innate vulgarity and cowardice of bloody-shirt Republicanism were illustrated anew in a Minneapolis paper which improved the occasion of Presi dent Cleveland's visit to insult the pres ident's wife. The small creatures in politics who make war upon women are to be found only in the folds of the Re publican party. * LIBERATI'S FAREWELL. A Superb Concert by the Seventy- First New York Regiment Band. Notwithstanding the drizzling rain made it almost imperative to stay with in doors yesterday an audience of 600 people assembled at Harmonia hall in the afternoon to listen to Liberates fare well concert. The press club committee which was supposed to have charge of ' the arrangements, by some strange oversight, neglected to provide pro grammes, and Liberati regarded this omission as a personal slight and so , stated to the audience. Although he was visibly annoyed, he responded very graciously to the enthusiasm of the audi ence, and nearly every number was en cored. As for himself,he played a solo of his own composition and when recalled rendered "Nearer "*" My God to Thee." The concert was a superb one, which included • the overture from William Tell, the tavern scene from "II Trovatore" Eo- ; manza selections from "Luciade Lam- ' mermoor,!' a trombone solo by Herr Ewald Stolz from "The Wanderer," the "Boulanger Patrol" and the "Awak- , ening of the Lion." The last number was especially well rendered. It is to be regretted that the unpropi tious weather and the faulty arrange ments prevented many from* attending, for the concert was a musical treat which under ordinary circumstances should have made standing room even desirable. A complication rather more ludicrous than serious arose from the fact that the janitor threw open the doors of the hall before the ticket office was opened, and nearly two hundred persons were admitted without paying. For this reason the tickets were not taken up until the close of the perform ance and during an intermission. Mayor Ames with a graceful tribute to Lib erati as a musician, asked those who had not purchased tickets to do so upon leaving. The characteristic generosity of Minneapolis people was attested by the fact that over a hundred paid their admissions in this way in response to the mayor's appeal. GOOD BYE TO LIBERATI. The members of the Liberati band left last night for New York from the Minneapolis & St. Louis depot on the 7:15 train, and a large concourse of people assembled to bid them au revoir. As the train started three cheers were given for the departing boys—three rousing cheers—handkerchiefs were waved and great excitement reigned. Joe Mezzacato, who acted as major donio. is a good Democrat and a mem ber of Tammany hall. On his arrival in New York he will take charge of Yolk's garden on the Bowery. Nig. Norreto goes to the Academy of Music, and Ewald Stoltz to the Phil harmonic society. Nickle left Saturday night to join Damsroch's orchestra in Buffalo, N. Y. AND NOW IT IS OVER. Exposition Celebrities Passed in Review Personal Comment. The Exposition is over, that is a fore gone conclusion. Bill King has had his county fair, and now that the smoke, and uproar, and fireworks of that re markable closing feature have cleared away, one is able to take a retrospec tive v iew of the regal entertainments furnished the Twin cities and the whole Northwest during the forty days of the great show's existence. "In the middle aires, the very wealthy classes, from emperor's down, had for their diversion, masks and mountebanks, who often acted for weeks at a time, and there was a world of ca rousing, jesting and general amusement, but in the brain of those old-timers there never was conceived or given a show that equaled as a place of general amusement and hilarity the Minneapo lis Industrial Exposition of 1887, and the humblest mortal living, on condition of behaving himself, was welcome to see all its wonders and its wealth of amusing and instructive features for the nominal sum of 85 cents. In its historical resume a pageant is witnessed of distinguished people who honored its platform with their presence and elec trified audiences with their oratory. Let one imagine the pageant trooping through the building and what a kaleidoscope scene-ftould be presented. It would include the president of the United States and his lovely, charming wife, first lady of our glorious land; the austere features and the dignified redcap of Cardinal Gibbons would be there, the earnest swarthy face of Prof. Langston, the colored orator, might be seen close to the form of Judge Pea, commander of the Grand Army of the Republicsnrrounded by a motley crowd of old veterans and settlers from the early days; the petite but elegant form of Liberati stands out clear in the shad owing procession, but his cornet is hid den away ami the dome will no more ring with the merry music of his genius; and then the lovely chil- TTTE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MOANING, OCTOBER 17.

All this' made up that world within a world, the Expo sition. FINANCIALLY It was a great success, as the following figures prove: Approximately the total receipts will aggregate $110,000; of this amount $18,000 was taken in at the art gallery. These figures represent about double the receipts of last year. What some officials think of the show, taking it as a whole, may be noted from the following conversations: CM. Palmer—lts grand success is owing to the co-operation of every one concerned from the scrub women up to the directors. Secretary Byron— better than last year in every respect Will E. Steele—The greatest show on earth. 0. W. Johnson— indorse that re- mark. -^HfIHPSI 898 Mr. Baker (who ran the 'candy and lemonade stands)— Everything seemed harmonious. I wish the temperature had stayed at 110° for the forty days. Jay Smith think the Exposition was first rate, especially the gallery and music. Mr. Jennings, of Harrison, Bleecker & Co.—First rate; everything worked harmoniously. George Seaton —All the officials took a deep interest in the show, hence its suc cess. Mr. Bradford—Minneapolis had a first rate show this year. Sig. Liberatti—You putte me down. I think the Exposition very-a-nice, but it does not beat the Press club. In fact, these are just a few of the universally expressed opinions that this Exposition was a grand, perfect success in every respect. • JUDGE YOUNG UPSET. The Supreme Court to the Rescue in Two Liquor Cases. The release of Bernt Samerund and Alfred Olson from the county jail Sat urday evening, on an order of stay of proceedings from the supreme court, has aroused a vast amount of interest among the lawyers in the city, as well as the saloon men, and the result will be watched most carefully. The two men were arrested some time ago on a charge of keeping open their saioous, places where liquor was on sale,on Sun day, contrary to the city ordinance. Thomas Canty, their attorney, entered demurrers to the indictments and asked that they be dismissed on the ground that the ordinance was invalid, and that no city officials had any right to issue liquor licenses in Minneapolis. It will he remembered that after the high license bill fixing the liquor licenses at $1,000 a year was passed the Ives en forcement bill followed. The city coun cil then passed an ordinance in con formity with the high license law. This ordinance Mayor Ames vetoed on the ground that it established high license in Minneapolis. The council sustained the veto, and instead of licenses the council issued certificates showing that each saloonkeeper had paid 61,000 into the city treasury. Mr. Canty argued that this ordiuance being vetoed, and the veto sustained, left the city without a liquor ordinance and that the city was under the control of the state law. Therefore there was no law compelling a man to close his saloon on Sunday, or at any fixed time. Judge Young overruled the demurrer, and when the cases came to trial the men were found guilty and sentenced to pay a tine of $75 and remain sixty days in jail each—the extreme penalty. Mr. Canty asked for a stay of proceedings, but did not get it. Then he went to the supreme court and secured his desired stay. The men were released on $500 bail and will be free until the supreme court has seen the records in the case passed upon its merits. TO DOWN POVERTY. An Interesting Meeting at Har- monia Hall Last Night. There was a fairly large attendance at the anti-poverty meeting at Harmonia hall last evening, and a considerable amount of enthusiasm was manifested. The meeting was called to order by J. C. Buell, the president of the society, who read a letter stating .that the Henry George land movement was in full force in Houston, Tex.: He then made a few remarks tending to show . what a benefit the land theory . would be if properly carried out. ;*. The matter is in "the hands of the laboring men and the mechanics, the speaker said, as they must regulate, the whole thing by their votes. The rent system was condemned at some length,-and many cruel wrongs practiced under it recited. T. B. McGuire, of New York, was the next speaker. lie claimed that poverty was a disease, to be cured only by having no landlords, and allow a man to occupy only so much, for which he was to pay the government a certain price per year. The speaker referred to the tenement house system -in vogue ■in all the large cities, and claimed that the landlords .were little better than murderers. ."Why, in New York alone last year," said -Mr. Mc- Guire, ''there were 1,200 children died, and three-fourths of them died in the tenement houses, victims of avericious men." No man has a right to own land, but every man has a right to use it. but is it right that we should be forced to go and pay out money for permission to live on it? The speaker said that it seemed to him that the land had been stolen from the poor men, and all that remained for them to do was to commit suicide. Then if a man was not success ful, he would be arrested and put in prison. Mr. Brown, of Rutland, Vt., followed with a very similar talk. His remarks, as were those of the others, were received with applause. ONE WOMAN'S WORK. The Noble Mission of Leonora Barry, the Investigator. In a conversation held yesterday even ing with Mrs. Leonora Barry, the fluent and entertaining speaker of the Knights of Labor organization, at present hold ing a convention in Minneapolis, she re lated something of the routine of her work and the wide and divergent field she is called to cover: The actual posi tion she holds is that of an "investiga tor;" there is attached to the office no ex ecutive power whatsoever.but wherever she is directed to go from headquarters, duty calls her, no matter how long the distance may be or the obstacles she has to surmount. The result of this kind of labor, therefore, throws Mrs. Barry among very different associates, and at many very different places, and the consequence to Mrs. Barry personally is a wide and broadßbelief in human na ture, despite its many errors and mis takes, from her wide spread experience. This lady is no loud-mouthed woman clamoring for suffrage. In her philosophy there is no demagogy. Her mission is to raise and elevate her sex. Her mission carries her into the hospital where the sick and weary lie. Her mission carries her into the world-of mills, and looms, and machinery, where her sex work and toil for little remuner ation and their surroundings are lack ing in all elevation and all comfort. To go amid the miserable and the weak, to investigate their troubles and look for redress, to awaken sympathy among those capable and willing to help those in trouble. This is the work of grand and incalculable value Leonora Barry is en gaged in, under the auspices of the Knights of Labor, and as such it is de serving of all the publicity the Gi.oi.k can give it. Leonora Barry was born in Cork, Ireland, some thirty years ago. When she was only two and a half years old her parenss came to America and settled in Amsterdam county, New York, where she resided nineteen years as a maiden, when she married Mr. Barry, who has since died. Her connec tiion with the K. of L. has been since 1884 and in that time she has visited many cities, seen a good deal of distress in the .Eastern manufacturing centers, and from the vast store of her ripe experi ence she will speak to-night in liar- monia hall at an open meeting, to her own sex in particular. As many of the fair sex as possible should 'attend;" for whether they be women luxuriating in wealth, or women in the humblest class of life, they: cannot-' fail of learning something ennobling and something useful from the personality of Leonora Barry. jSEjHSS&SSI SOMETHING OF A"CRISIS. A Threatened Secession From the Knights of Labor. The delegates to the Knights of Labor assembly spent yesterday very quietly, and numerous consultations were held which may result in peace being patched lip between the warring factions of the executive board. At the time of adjournment Saturday afternoon the aspect was decidedly warlike. Barry, who had charged Secretary Hayes with calling him an anarchist, and Gen eral Secretary Litchman with being dic tatorial, withdrew in an unenviable frame of mind. Since then it has been given out that if the resolution reduc ing the membership of the executive board to live is carried the "antis" will secede from the order. To-day's developments will be watched with In. crest. Amusements. The Fowler & Warmingtcn Comedy company present "Skipped by the Lif.ht of the Moon" at the Grand during the coming week, beginning the week. The engagement of Kosina Yokes at the Hennepin Avenue does not begin until Wednesday evening. "The Stranglers of Paris" will be le peated at Pence opera house during the first half of the week. The Theatre Comique has a new and powerful vaudeville attraction. The dime museum announces a change on both stages and new specialties. MEN AND SAYINGS. The Tribune office gang has not yet ex hausted itself in writing letters trying to bolster up its pitiable condition. Vox Pop up and Eighth Ward have not yet been heard from. ' * _■ -;;-_•.. ; F. E. Damon is shortly to connect himself with a reputable paper known as the Trib une. It is published at Chicago. Roger Vail, having completely demolished Nicolay Qreuestad in the civilization discus sion, and Ealher McGolrick having turned the 'laugh on Rev. (*o Lightly Morrill, both are looking for new worlds to'conquer. Elmer Foster says he will put the Globe silver bat on exhibition at Tiffany's, in New York, if he plays in that city. F. A. Briggs is disconsolate because the base ball season is over and there is no checker contest on hand. Briggs will prob ably be a league umpire next season. CM. Palmer—Editor Ole Colbnrn, it is easy to see, is the coming Jack Haverly of Minne apolis. Aid. Barrows— bile I still condemn that Tribune as outrageous, I can't help feeling sorry for Blethen, who looks as if he had had no sleep siuce. Why the paper could not report the council's action correctly. The Globe was the only paper with a correct report, >-.**.-■ P. J. Linxweiler—The only thing I could do to express my indignation was to promptly: stop the Tribune and to hope everybody else would take the same course. An Eighth Warder—l never voted for George Cooley yet, but 1 will hereafter, for he is a man who has the courage of his con victions. Col. Piatt B. Walker, before leaving to at attend the national waterways convention at Memphis Saturday night, remarked: "I'm going to mention Minneapolis this timeout loud. I'm going to kick for the improve ment of the Mississippi from Minneapolis to the gulf. ALL SORTS. There is considerable regret that that pleas ant and delightful chestnut, the Exposition, is over at last. But the M. E. conference and the K. of L. assembly are still with us. Some of the prominent citizens who are urged to contribute S'J5 each to the "inciden tal expense" of securing that valuable legis lation will now probably wait until they learn the result of the cases Attorney Canty has in hand.. It would be too bad if the fraved-out Chi cago ball club should be defeated by either Minneapolis or St. Paul. -:* Some people receive polish from travel through Europe, but last week's incident goes to show there are others who. do not. The attention of the Society for the Sup pression of Vice is called to the obscene pub lication known as the Minneapolis Tribune. Its issue yesterday contained a number or in decent articles which the tabooed Police Gazette would hardly care to publish. 5 Blethen's explanation, or rather apology, * for the Cleveland editorial was in type Satur day night, but was "killed"' for some reason not apparent. Mayor Ames again appeared in the role of a Good Samaritan at the Liberati concert yes terday afternoon. The concert was given un der the auspices of the Press club, and with its usual business acumen that organization had failed to provide a doorkeeper, so that over 100 people had entered the hall with out paying, and no tickets had • been taken up. The.mayor came to the rescue of the distressed newspaper men and straight ened matters out in the easiest manner possi ble. He simply walked out on the platform, explained tlie situation, and said, as he knew no true Minneapolitau wished to beat his way, that an opportunity would be given to pay at the door on going out. When the concert was over he posted himself at the exit and took tickets with the skill of a circus manager. In this wav he saved the Press club nearly S(>o, and seemed to enjoy the novelty of the situation. The '-Casual Listener" of the Pioneer Press feels blue because he could not get any news of interest concerning President and Mrs. Cleveland while here, except routine "stulF," and so eases his mind by "roasting" the re porters who displayed skill enough to do so. "Such is life in a great (?) newspaper office." MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. -fc The stenographers' society will meet next Friday night to organize an association.

THE OYSTER TRICK EXPOSED. How < the Exposition Magician Amazed Thousands With His Clever .«;- Illusions. Tliere is one clafs of fun making that appeals to every breast—t he mysterious art o£ the magician. The grey-headed, spectacled, staid business man gets as much, mixed up and excited- as the veriest romping school boy, let loose from.tasks uncongenial, to his ten-cent seat in the circus, and even the bare back rider, his darling hero, is cast into the shades of nothingness, when, with austere mien and Asiastic air, the mas ter of the necromantic world, with the magic wand, calls forth the sprites o f the realm over which he holds sway. The love for the wonderful is a univer sal phase of character; and of all the books that delighted us in our child hood days, none, one could venture to remark, pleased so much as "iEsop's Fables"and the "Arabian Nights;" and all this from the fact that they teem with the weird imaginings of other worlds, fairies, genii and enomes. One of the most famous living necromancers has been sojourning in our midst the past few weeks' performing at the expo sition, and in an interesting conversa tion, had with him a few days ago, he re lated to a Globe reporter some valuable matter in connection with legerdemain, which will be found embodied in this article. The one absolute necessity for a magician, because on it is built the whole groundwork of his art, is perfect sobriety—because the work calls for lightning quickness, and the most nim ble dextricity of brain and hands.* : Ma gici ans may be divided into two classes there are those who depend on ingen ious contrivance, and those who only rely on finger dextricity. The latter are invariably the quickest and best at the business, for they are available for more acts. Patience is another charac teristic essential in necromancy, be cause although the idea of a new trick may come to the performer like a flash of genius, it may take him weary weeks to study out how to accomplish the same. One of the most important ad juncts to a performer is his costume. The poorer class of tricksters wear big cloaks and use every method possible to assist them, but the better members of the profession come out :,""; in dress suits, and ... the living Hermann has made a new inno vation, as he appears in a tight-fitting jersey and depends entirely on finger dexterity. Prof, Bobert Nickle, of whom this article is written, was born in Troy, N. V., and early evinced a taste for the business of which to-day he is one of the greatest living exponents. His father was a mechanic, and desired .Robert should also become • one, but when he took the boy to see old John Wyman, the great magician of that day, in Band's hall, of their native town, he decided his fate, and from that time out i the boy did not do anything but give little shows in barns and such places, and he himself was always the central figure with some new trick that was at once, the delight and wonder of his young confreres. It was about this time he got acquainted with the famous Prof. Anderson (now dead), who was widely known as the "Wizard of the North," because he was a Scotchman and traveled principally through Canada. With Anderson Nickle started out as an assistant, and so well did he profit by his chalices that on the 2d of May, 1860, in the Brooklyn theater, when only twenty years old, he made his debut before a large audience as a professional magi cian. Since then he has traversed the wide world over, causing amusement and« wonder wherever he has gone. His first performance in Minneapolis : was'long, long ago, in 1871, at the Pence opera house, and the growth and mag nitude this city has attained, he says, beats all the legerdemain business he ever heard of or performed. His ac quaintanceship is naturally a large one, having traveled so extensively over the world, and includes all his most famous brother artists in the past decade. While filling his engagement (one of the most remarkable he has done) at the Philadelphia Centennial exposition, the idea of his oyster trick, which has delighted thousands at our own exposi tion, came into his head from seeing a funny picture, and in a confidential moment he disclosed the modus oper andi of it. First, it must be stated, the magician's clothes contain twenty-one pockets. In these pockets are secreted the oysters, done up in oil silk bags to keep them hot; the forks are in another pocket and the crackers also. Then a hat is borrowed, and without the audi ence seeing a roll of telegraph registry paper must got into the hat and then unrolled in graceful curves on the stage, coming in continued rolls from the hat, The next piece of dexterity is to take a large quantity of paper faom the stage and by a quick motion get a big bundle of forks from the center of the table, then as the start is made towards the audience the oysters, unseen, are trans ferred from the pockets and smilingly brought forth from the hat, to the de light and amazement of all the immense audiences who have witnessed this wonderful trick. Then by dexterity a handful of crackers has to lay in his palm unseen by the audience, and this has to come out of the hair of some one in the attendance. The pickle act from the nose is also done by wonderful dexterity and noth ing else, once more proving the old say ing, the hand is so much quicker than the eye. Mr. Nickle has often a good deal of fun playing tricks on the street and has on many occasions non plussed police officers and conductors. Market people are great sport to him, and often is the occasion he has cut a chicken's head off in a market, had a long fight with the poulterer, and then to the utter amazement of the latter, • has replaced the head again.. "' *:.r- * Robert Nickel is now in the prime of life, a splendid specimen ■of manhood and giving promise by the yearly im provement in his profession to soon at tain to. the ' very highest point as an artist in his class. While in Minneapolis he has given de light to thousands and it is with very sincere regret his many admirers will learn of his near departure from the city, but he can console' himself, know ing ; that he only goes to give pleasure to thousands more who have not seen him yet. ____-____________: WEALTHY AND FASHIONABLE. t.91. ._-.;. Vulgar Persons Who Have More ' s Money Than Politeness. - The other day, while 1 was invisible at my work, writes Dr. ; William C. Prime to the New York Journal of Com merce, 1 overheard some men criticis ing the interior and furniture of the large cabin very roughly, while the ladies who were with them gave them excellent advice on their conduct. They were of a class, occasionally coining here, who. being tourists, regard Lone- Srifiie Lake as a show place, a sort of free hotel in; a .free country, and omit to remember that it is the private residence of two gentlemen. "Havn't you got anything to eat here?-* they asked Jim. Seeing a bot tle of Burgundy on the plain buffet where it had been set out for my dinner, they asked him to get them some whisky, which they said they knew was somewhere about, and on his respect fully declining they ottered him money to turn it out for them. We have three boats in , the boat house.* One morning Dupont was fish ing at the lower end of the lake in one boat, a friend who was visiting us, one of the most accomplished and distin guished American authors, was half way, down the lake in another, and 1 was in the third, opposite the boat house, when 1 heard an authoritative voice: "Hello there! Bring that boat here, will you?" :* -•:•• 1 looked toward the cabin and saw a well-dressed man and some elegantly dressed ladies. 1 pulled ashore to the landing. He, without a word to me, called the ladies, \^]io came down. He helped them Into the boat I -came out and he stepped, in, look the oars and went off oyer (lie lake. I waited a half hour till they returned, when he helped the ladies out without a word to me. and they all disappeared down Hie In-idle path. Perhaps yon think he mistook me for a servant. I hen he ought to have offered me a quarter, which he did not. Possibly you say they.thought it a public show place. 1 hen he should have offered to pay for the boat. No—these were speci mens of a sort of people not rare to meet on lines of public travel, who are simply ignorant of the duties of life and have not in them that sense of po liteness and courtesy which marks the true gentleman.' By accident, the next day 1 learned their names, and found they were people of "wealth and fash ion." //_/_ of every style and kind flew ■ In the list of "Wants- you find.
