what makes the impression that he
calls a picture or how the work of cut
manufacturing is accomplished. The
Globe is the pioneer paper of the
Northwest in. the line of cuts, having
been the first to introduce the system
which has since been copied by its
every contemporary in the Northwest.
The system of cartoon was also first
used iii the Northwest by the Globe,
and proved powerful political factors,
first in the mayoralty campaign in
Minneapolis in 1886, and afterwards in
the congressional and state elections in
the same year. Three years ago, when
the first picture appeared in the Min
neapolis department, it was thought
fairly good, but the process was neces
sarily crude, and such a cut would now
be considered fit only for the hell box
in the light of the improved processes
now in use. This cut was a portrait of
of Mayor Pillsbury and a fac-simile is
here reproduced for the purpose of com
parison and contrast.
in the beginning of 1885 there was no
plant in the Twin Cities for the manu
facture of cuts other than the slow and
necessanly ex
pensive pro
cess of wood
engraving.
Lithographic
and electro
type establish
ments flourish
ed, but there
was no sign of
either artisan
or factory by
which newspa
pers could be
furnished with
cuts suitable
to' the modern
fast press. At
THE FIRST I'KTlId
that time and in those comparatively
primitive days, the Globe was com
pelled to have its illustrative work done
in Chicago, the drawings made in the
Twin Cities coming back in three, or
four days, transferred to metal. But
the process was far from satisfactory,
and the delay was almost prohib
itory. It is difficult, after the lapse
of time, to even recognize some of the
portraits then thought so fair. For ex-
AX OLD TiMnrc.
ample, here is one, used over three
years ago, that was made for a likeness
of C. G. Hoyt, the headmiller at Pills
bury A mill. This is a copper-faced
plate on a wood base, and is in every way
unsuited to the process of stereotvp
iiiL' now in use by every Twin City daily
paper. The first cuts of domestic man
ufacture were cruditity itself. The pro
cess was primitive and the results un
satisfactory. A coating of prenared
wax was laid upon • a steel surface
and the artist etched the picture
with a sharp instrument like a
needle. The plate then went
to the foundry, where it was
electrotyped in copper and mounted
upon a wood base, as in the picture
above. By this process fine lines were
an impossibility, and it was soon aban
doned as impracticable. Next came the
chalk plate, or kaoletype process, which
permits of very satisfactory results and
is now in general use in both cities. It
has the merit of being extremely rapid,
and the picture once drawn the cut can
be turned out in any well appointed
newspaper establishment. The process
is simply to etch the picture "with a
stylus, through a chalky coating laid
upon a smooth steel plate. The plate
goes into a casting box and hot type
metal poured unon it, the molten
metal filling out the finest lines
and most delicate shading. A solid
block is produced, and, with a
few finishing touches, is ready
for the forms. The accompanying cut
was produced by this process and is a
fair sample of the character of the work.
The value of the process lies chiefly in
the rapidity with which cuts can be
turned out, and explains why the Globe
is frequently enabled to print, early one
morning, pictures of occurrences late
the previous night.'
Another process of picture-making
coming more and more into vogue in
newspaper work, is that of zinc etch
ing. The results are more satisfactory,
as it is a photographic process, but it
has the objections of being necessarily
Blow and, in many cases, pictures are
ruined, at' the last moment, by carrying
the acid process too far. Nearly every
newspaper employing the process has
secrets of its own, but the simplified
process is to photograph the drawing
upon a zinc plate; the plate is subjected
to an acid bath and those . parts .; un
touched by the picture are eaten away,
leaving the picture standing out in re
lief. The plate is set upon a wood
or metal base and is ready
for. use.; The - accompanying picture
was made by this process and- a glance
will show the fine lines which become'
an impossibility with other processes.
Photo-engraving, proper, is rarely
used in newspaper work, as it is ex
pensive, in the first place, and in the
second, turns out lines too fine and deli
cate for fast press work and ordinary
white paper. It is very similar to zinc
etching in its methods. The photograph
is taken upon a gelatine plate, which,
after subjection to the acid bath, is
hardened and electrotyped. Work of
this character, principally pictures of
buildings, has frequently appeared in
the Globe, but as a rule it is unsuited
to the use of a daily newspaper.

Of savage men ;

Butmav be termed the worst of all the

Domestic cares afflict the husband's bed,
Or pains his head:
Those that live single take it for a curse,
Or do things worse.
Some would have children : . those that have
them moan
. Or wish them gone.
What is it, then, to have 'or have no wife,
But single thraldom or a double strife
Our own affection still at home to please .
Is a disease: •
To cross the sease to any foreign soil,' - -
Peril and toil;
Wars with their noise affright us; when they

We are worse in peace.
What then remains but that we still should

Yesterday They Captured the Exposi
tion Bodily.
GREAT SUCCESS SO FAR.
Results of the Various Contests-
Events Set for the Near
Future.
The close of the first week, or rather
the first three days of the Exposition
finds the management, directors and,
in fact, all concerned, in high feather
over the success which has characterized
it thus far. The attendance has been
eminently satisfactory, and the show
itself is equally so. Now, especially
since it has got "licked into shape,"
and is running smoothly.' It cannot be
said to be one whit behind last year's
display, a fact which is very compli
mentary to the city as well as to the
management, for on the one hand it
demonstrates that exhibitors recognize
the value of "tne Golden Northwest" as
a m rket for their products and shows
alsoathat the management is exceed
ingly popular, two desiderata without
wine h no institution of. the kind can
hope to succeed.
Yesterday was a great
DAY FOB THE CniLDREX.
They swarmed all over the building
recalling the big children's days of last
season. The games provided for their
entertainment were much appreciated
and were entered into with great gusto.
The first on the list was a pie ' eating
contest for prizes given by the Big Bos
ton, the first of which, a suit of clothes,
was won by Louis Johnson in 3:58, Al
bert Butler taking the second, a pair of
pants, in 4:32, and the third, a hat, by
Willie Eddie in five minutes.
The great donkey game passed off
very successfully. A large picture of a
tailless donkey stood upon the large
platform, and those competing . were
given tails made of black muslin which,
after being blindfolded, they were told
to stick upon the proper portion of the
animal with a pin. The result was
ludicrous in the extreme. When
the twenty players got though,
the donkey was covered with
tails, only one of which was
in the correct position. The other
games were guessing on the number of
children present during the day, and
weighing the little urchins. The one
approaching nearest to the average
weight to^ake the prize. The donkey
game was won by Johnny Killy, he
getting a handsome toy stove from the
Detroit Stove company. The other
awards will not be made till Monday.
- saleslady's day.
* If ever the management of the Expo
sition announced a day which deserved
to be popular Monday next is that one.
There are no more obliging people in
the city among those who labor than the
lady bookers, cashiers and sales ladies.
Recognizing these attributes the man
agement of the Exposition has compli
mented the salesladies of the city by
designating Monday as their day and in
order to make it the more interesting
Eustis Brothers have donated a beautiful
watch and chain which will be awarded
to the most popular young lady em
ploped in any of the above-named ca
pacities, while the D. F. Bremner Bak
ing Powder company,not to be outdone,
have given a prize box of crackers to
be awarded to the handsomest unmar
ried saleslady. Every person visiting
the Exposition on that day is entitled to
vote so that the ladies can say for once
that they have voted "just like the hor
rid men."
"floral day."
( Flora, the Goddess of Flowers, is to
have her innings on Tuesday. A space
200 feet by 28 has been set aside for the
display of the various competitors for
the Plymouth clothing house prizes.
The only stipulation is that the designs
shall bear in a conspicuous place the
name of that enterprising house. On
the same day occurs the parade and
visit to the Exposition of the Sunday
school -scholars of Hennepin county,
but should it rain on that day the parade
will be postponed to the day following.
The Conreid collection of forty paint
ings, representing some of the most
beautiful and picturesque .bits of scen
ery to be found about the Twin Cities
and their suburbs, have been loaned
the art gallery oy Oscar, the tailor.
The heads of the alligators can now
be seen floating on the placid waters of
Lake Palmer, just as they do in any
Southern bay. The 'gators attract lots
of attention.
Henry Standing: Cloud might reason
,ably be called "Sunset." He is a
Bloomiiigton Indian, and daily gets him
self up in all the colors of the rainbow.
The colored shadow lights ain't a
marker to "Hy" when he dresses up
and gets gay.
Great amusement was caused yester
day during the children's donkey game,
by the efforts of one little urchin to at
tach the "tail" to Maj. Fred Brackett.
The major only escaped by dodginc,
and a great laugh went up when the
crowd caught on.
SALESLADIES' DAY.
Monday at the Exposition Dedi
cated to Them.
The salesladies of the northwest will
be especially welcome on Monday and
their comfort and entertainment will
be well looked after. Cappa's band will
provide the music both afternoon and
evening, which will be such numbers as
are particularly requested. Prizes will
be given, anions which will be a watch
and chain given by Messrs. Eustis-
Brothers, to be voted to the most popu
lar lady in the city employed as a sales
lady cashier, or bookkeeper. The I).
F. Bremner Baking company will give a
box of crackers to the handsomest un.
married saleslady. Although the day is
dedicated to salesladies, it should be un
derstood that all lady employes are in
cluded in this special invitation to be
present.
Logan as a Boxer. •
Philadelphia Record.
Senator Cullom tells a good story about
the late Gen. John A. Loeran, who was
quite a sparrer. Prof. Collins was his
first trainer, and he had been taking
lessons about six months. He was sure
his teacher could not knock him out,
and it having been agreed that they
should have a regular set-to, the general
induced Gov. Oglesby to be a witness.
When Logan came out stripped for the
bout and stood up before Prof. Collins,
Oglesby cautioned him to be careful or
he would get hurt. This put the former
on his mettle, and he went for his an
tagonist so viciously that in less than
ten minutes he planted the ex-pugilist
one under the chin, laying that gentle
man in a far corner all in a heap.
Oglesby was surprised and Collins was
simply dumfouiided. He got up, walked
slowly over to the general and said:
"Mr. Logan, it's the greatest pity in the
world you aren't a fighter, for you
would be a daisy, sure." .

She Always Howled.
Texas Siftings.
An aged widower got married re

standing that he had a house full of
grown up children. While the mar
riage ceremony was being performed
audible weeping could be heard in the
back room.
One of the guests who had heard the
sobs, asked one of the children who it
was.
"That's Emily," was the reply. "She
always howls when papa gets married
again."

CHINESE ANXIOUS.
A Committee Appointed to Learn
Where Harrison Has His Wash
ing Done. '
New York Star. V
The Chinese Harrison and Morton
club held another enthusiastic meeting
last night at their campaign head
quarters on Mott street. If any weak
kneed Republican has had any fears
that the. Chinese were not going to
loyally support the ticket of the grand
old party this year, he would have been
agreeably surprised if he attended the
meeting. '.'."'
Nine members have been added -to
the Chinese Harrison and. Morton club
since the last meeting. President Hung
Hang presided. Secretary Ling Fat
kept the club records. Hop Lee Wing
arose and asked leave to introduce;'. a
motion. Permission was accorded and
he read as follows: j?.'
Resolved, That the Chinese Harrison and
Morton club turn out at the next Republican
parade. l a : ' •'-
Resolved, That the national Republican
committee be Invited to contribute §50 to
buy the Chinese Harrison and Morton club
uniforms and torches. v j
Resolved, That the Republican state com
mittee be requested to buy the Chinese Har
rison and Morton club a banner to hang in
Mott street in front of the club headquarters.
Hop Lee Wing supported his resolu
tions in an able speech. He said that
in New York there were no less ' than
fifty Chinamen who were citizens of the
United States. They were as much citi
zens as the Hungarians, the Polacks,
the Bohemians, the Irish, "* the Italians
and the Africans. They were as much
entitled to help elect a president
as other citizens were.- He under
stood that a thousand Hungarians,
many of whom were not citizens
marched in the Blame procession the
other night. After them came a large
contingent of Italians, many of whom
were liberally paid for their shoe-leather
and trouble. The Chinese were as
ready to march for the Republican
party as any other people, and he
wanted to know why they were slight
ed, while the Hungarians, the Italians
and the Irish were favored.
The motien Was unanimously carried,
and it was decided to demand recogni
tion for the Chinese in the next Repub
lican procession.
' Clung Lee said he understood that
Levi P. Morton bad taken his washing
from a Chinese laundry.
Wah Hop said he was glad to say that
the rumor was false. A committee was
appointed to ascertain where Harrison
and Morton had their washing done. ,
The club will meet to-night for drill.
THE YOUNG WOMAN GOT IT.
Four Men Offer a Pretty Girl a
Place. While a Spinster anils.
New York World.
A tall, thin old maid waved a parasol
at a down-going Broadway car at Fif
teenth street yesterday morning. The
seats on both sides of the car were lined
with men, except in the far corner,
where an old woman sat with a big bun
dle in her lap. A number of the
men glanced up as the thin maid
entered : tne car and then became
suddenly intent on their papers.
A fat man with a shning bald
head looked fixedly out of the window
and seemed profoundly interested in the
passing sights. A young man opposite
him, who had been humming a tune the
moment before and was as merry as a
grig, pursed up his mouth, put on an
air of deep melancholy, stared steadily
at his left shoe and seemed lost in an
interesting calculation of its length and
breadth. Those who had newspapers
in their hands found them so im
mensely interesting that they could
not look up even for a moment.
Meantime the spinster clung to a strap
and. stared at one young man who,
bolder than the rest, looked at her. He
shifted about uneasily in his seat for a
moment then, with a poor attempt at
having suddenly remembered some
thing of vast importance, plunged his
hand into his inside tout pocket ami
drew forth a bundle of old letters,
which he began to sort with the utmost
diligence and care.
At Twelfth street a pretty girl got on.
She was dressed in a tight-fitting cloth
dress, which set off her well-rouudpd
figure to advantage. There was just
the hint of coming color in her cheeks,
and when she smiled white teeth peeped"
through the red of her lips. She shook
out her dress with a pretty little air of
irritation. The fat man "with the bald
head all at once ceased to take any in
terest in the street sights, and rose
precipitately to offer his seat.
His head bumped against the
young man on the other side,
who had discovered all he wanted
to know about his left shoe, and who
also rose to tender his seat. The man
who had been reading his letters, and
who appeared to be" so careful with
them, stuffed them all into his pocket
in a confused mass and fell over his
neighbor's legs in his frantic efforts to
be the lucky man. The baldheaded
man glanced about triumphantly like a
harvest moon when she accepted his
seat and gave him a merry glance and a
sweet "Thank you." The three other
men scrambled back for their seats and
the older woman stili clung to the
strap. .
OUR GIRLS AND OTHERS.
Diamonds in a Dump— Much Talk
About Maidens— Chat.
.A San Francisco lady is out abont 53,
--500 worth of jewels, and this, according
to a spicy chronicle in the San Francisco
Bulletin, is the way the whole astonish
ing business happened:
Several weeks ago she left the Golden
Gate for a summer resort. Her jewel
case, containing £6,000 worth of dia
monds, was left at home, and the
daughter, as well as the housemaid, was
cautioned to watcii over the precious
casket with ceaseless care. No sooner
had the mother left the city than fears
of burglars began to prey upon the
nerves of the custodians of the jewels,
and finally as a clever ruse the case
was carefully concealed in the
coal hod In the kitchen. The
cook knew nothing of this ar
rangement and last Saturday morning,
when the scavenger appeared as usual
to remove the accumulated ashes of the
week, the plush-covered basket was
dumped from the hod into the barrel
and from the bairel into the cart with
no greater consideration than if it had
been a decayed watermelon. Thence it
was carried out to the public dump on
San Bruno road. The tail-board of the
cart was lifted and the diamonds went
rolling among the debris concealed by
the dust that accompanied the fall of its
plebian fellow-travelers. The cartman
took his departure, but at this moment
another figure makes its appearance. As •'
the cart deposited its load a ragman , [
with a long stick, tipped by a two-'
pronged rake, stood ready to receive it.
The dusty pile was raked over in the
usual earless way and a bright sparkling
cluster of gems "was .picked up along
with rusty oyster cans and old nails and'
.put in his pocket. This proved to be the
great find of the day. The ragpicker ob
tained SIO for it. The loss of the jewels
was not discovered until the following
day, and the feeling that resulted may
better be imagined than described,.
After a long search the cluster of dia
monds found by the ragpicker was
traced and recovered. It was a beauti
ful brooch containing seventeen stones
and valued a $2,500. The remainder of
the jewelry has gone apparently beyond
recall. No trace of it has been discov
ered. >-

RICHELIEU AT THE PEOPLE'S.
Rice's Corsair and Louis James Divide
the Week at the Grand
• —Notes. .
. Rice's beautiful operatic burlesque,
"The Corsair," will delight Minneapo
lis audiences this week. "The Cor
sair" comes from New York, Boston,"
Philadelphia and Chicago indorsed by
long runs. - A vast sum of money has
been spent on this production, and the
scenic artist and costumer have taxed
their ingenuity to dazzle the eye and
catch the fancy, while the librettest and
composer have evolved some very tak
ing music and lyrics. The organization
includes some sixty-five people and the
principals are the best in the business.
George S. Knight, Fay Templeton,
Louise Montague, George K. Fortesque,
James L. Manet, Edward Morris, Ed
ward Tarr, Lila Blow and Cora Tanner
assume the leading roles. Mr. Rice is
famous for burlesque productions, and
his ingenuity always . exhibits itself
in a very deft commingling of
song, dance, female loveliness, beauti
ful costumes, and a certain grotesque
ness in his male characters. The march
and music and the everlasting exits and
entrances of the characters form a be
wildering and kaleidoscopic picture
that does not permit the interest to flag
for a moment. The scenery, too, which
is pretty and of its kind well painted, is
most elaborate,- there being four or five
full sets and any number of what are
technically known as front scenes—
is to say," scenes that are made up to
keep an audience expectant while the
next full set is in preparation. The sale
of seats has already opened, and the
sheet shows that crowded houses will
be the rule during the engagement.

From a week of melodrama at the
Peoples' there will be an elevation this
week to the height of "Richelieu."
Manager Sterling has selected Bulwer's
great play for this week, as a fitting
commencement for the series of Shakes
pearian and other plays of the highest
order, which will be produced from
time to time at the Peoples' during the
- coming season— corner stones and orna
ments of the Peoples' second year.
Every playgoer knows Richelieu. Most
of them know that it is admitted to be
the greatest play produced since the
gentle "Will wrote "Macbeth." It is
built upon one of the most intensely
dramatic characters in all history, and
combines the literary genius of a master
of English literature" with the dramatic
genius and experience of Macready, one
of the half dozen greatest actors. Edwin
Forrest was the first actor of Richelieu
in this country, and among his support
on that memorable occasion was a young
man who to-night will make his first ap
pearance himself as Richelieu in this
country, Theodore Hamilton, now the
People's leading man, judging from the
strength which Mr. Hamilton has al
ready shown here, the great role will
not suffer in his hands. John W. Bur
ton, the new comedian, will, as Joseph,
make his appearance in a more serious
role, and Miss Reta Booth will assume
the male role of Francois. The stage
settings have been prepared with great
care and the costumes will be rich. The
cast complete is as follows :
Richelieu "...•... Theo Hamilton
Louis XiII Edwin Terry
Gaston.:. J. C. Callahan
Baradas J. E. Nelson

week. •' ;•_'-' \r-: : ':: - -'-.'^
V
• Louis James and Marie "Wainwright,
than whom " there are no greater or
versatile actors on the stage, will play a
short season at the Grand Opera, com
mencing next Thursday evening. Only
the classic drama will be presented, and
the engagement will be noteworthy, as
Miss Wainwright will don male attire
for the first time since her debut, and
appear also for the first time in the
character of Rosalind in Shakespeare's
greatest comedy "As You Like It."
Minneapolis has been chosen for the
premier on account of the discernment
of the audience, and the warm recep
tion accorded Mr. James and Miss Wain
wright here last season. The produc
tion will be most elaborate as scenery
and costumes have been especially got
ten up. Miss Wainwright's robes have
been made in Paris, and are marvels
of Worth's fancy. The repertory
is as follows: Thursday, "Othello,"
with Mr. James as Othello, and Miss
Wainwright as Desdemoha; Friday and
Saturday matinee, "As You Like it,"
with Miss Wainwright as Rosalind;
Saturday evening, "Virginius," Mr.
James appearing as Virginius and Miss
Wainwright as Virginia. In support
are F. C. Mosely and Harry Langdon.
The sale of seats opens Tuesday.

George W. Floyd, the manager of "Nat
C. Goodwin, the favorite American coin
median, is in the city. Mr. Goodwin
appears at the Grand next Monday week,
for the first time in three years. His
repertoire will include "Turned Up,"
(new o Minneapolis) "Lend Me Five
Shillings" and "Confusion." A strong
company is said to be in support.
» *
The new play, "A Mystery of a Han
som Cab" will be played at the Pence
opera house to-night for the first time.
The play is founded on the popular
Australian novel of the " same name.
The drama has had a very successful
run at the Princess theater, London,
and will be presented here with a strong
cast. Neill Murray will be seen in the
role of Mother Guttersnipe, an old hag,
and in these roles Mr. Scully excels.
The play will run until Thursday, when
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be put up.
Business at this popular place contin
ues large.

"Harbor Lights," the new spectacu
lar nautical melodrama, will be seen at
the Grand soon.

a scene of festivity last night. N. W.
King, ex-city detective, the new propri

ception to his numerous friends, and
"did the elegant" in most hospitable
style. Prof. George E. Lockharfr sang
the latest campaign songs, and fur
nished a notable feature of the occasion.
Curley Martin, the popular caterer, con
tributed a handsome lay-out of highly
appreciated eatables, and endeared him
self to several hundred stomachs— if
not hearts. Mr. King will doubtless
sccceed in making the Fashion one of
the best known and most popular re
sorts in the Northwest. Its location,
opposite the People's theater, is one of
