8 SAINT PAUL. t HOTEL GOSSIP. Walter A. Devins, of Cleveland, 0., was at the Merchants' yesterday, and in a conversation with a Globe reporter stated his intention of coming to St. Paul to reside about the latter end of August. Mrs. Devins is one of the most active musical enthusiasts in Cleveland, directress of the Evening Hour Glee club and an accomplished eoloist. She will be an acquisition to the musical circle in the city. N. J. Warlich, of Duluth, speaking of the recent strike riot at Duluth yester day afternoon at the Ryan hotel, said that the strikers had found discretion the better part of valor and bucking against such a police force as that of Duluth no snap. Those of the rioters who were injured in the recent trouble are doing well, with the exception of O'Hagan. who was injured internally, and will probably die. A.Steves and wife and C.Rose and wife form a party staying at the Mer chants', who arrived in this city from San Antonio, Tex., on Saturday after noon. Mr. Steves says he is most fa vorably impressed with the appearance of things in this section of the country. "We came up here," he said, "to es cape the intense heat. I've been in business down in San Antonio for forty years, but have now retired, my busi ness interests there being now in my son's hands. You people up here think It's hot when the thermometer says 90 deg. Well, the fact is that you haven't any idea what heat Is. Down in that Texas country it frequently gets as hot as 116 in the shade, and very sel dom gets lower than 90 deg even in the coolest part of the night. Cotton, you know. Cotton has to be ripened, and cotton won't ripen unless there is very hot weather. Crops? Why, the crops are excellent. Corn planting began in February, and the corn was ripe when I left a couple of weeks ago, and the ears wore as lone as my arm. Oh, it's a splendid country if it wasn't for the heat. They tell me It's cold up here in the winter, though. The most cold weather we ever have down in our section is just enough to freeze a scale of ice on a pail of water, If left out all night, and then the people all light big fires and sit by them. I guess the kind of winters you have here would settle me in short order. We go from here to Superior, where my wife has relatives, and will probably not re turn to Texas before fall." A. E. Dvsart, of Eau Claire, was at the Windsor yesterday, and will leave for home this morning, having accom plished his mission. Mr. Dysart has a young hopeful, aged fourteen, who last week was chastised for shaving the family cat until it resembled a mount ain Hon in miniature. The lad resented the licking he got from his father, and boarded the evening train on Saturday and came to St. Paul. He proceeded straight to the house of some friends of the Dysart family on Dayton avenue, and announced his intention of visiting there for a few days, stating that his parents knew of his absence and ap proved his Intention. He was discov ered by his father yesterday afternoon playing tennis very zealously witn a half-dozen other lads, and was at once taken in charge by his irate paternal ancestor. W. P. Allen, of Sioux City, was at the Ryan yesterday, and, like every other Sioux Citian, was full of praises for the little city on the Big Muddy. "All the prominent people," he said, are moving out of Sioux City to Covington, the new town just across the river. John Arens dorf, who was tried for the murder of Haddock, the preacher, runs a large bottling establishment there, is a can didate for mayor, and will probably.be elected. Leader, his partner in the business, was a witness for Arensdorf in the case, and is an alderman. Fred Munchrath, who was sentenced to four years for complicity in the murder, and appealed for a new trial, which never came off, is now a Sioux City alderman, and partner in a brewery. A queer in cident occurred the other day in con nection with the Haddock business. The man Peters, who disappeared as soon as the murder was consummated, leaving all his clothes, watch and money, and was never seen nor heard of afterwards, was seen in Winnipeg a few weeks ago by Walter Hall, of Sioux City, He is working in a brewery there, and says he knows nothing about the murder, but laid low in order to avoid getting mixed up in it." C. C. Gottschalk, or Christopher Co lumbus Gottschalk, as he is called for short by those who know him familiarly, occupied two seats in the Ryan rotunda last evening, and announced between the puffs of blue smoke emitted in sav age jerks from between his perfectly modeled lips that he intended to sue the city for damages. The gentleman's ire had been aroused at an incident which occurred at Fourth street. An iron bar rel hoop lay in the center of the thor oughfare, and upon one end of this the unsuspecting Columbus trod. The other side took him in the shin, raised a large welt besides a good deal of profanity, and established a cause of action. ST. PAUL PERSONALS. A. Murphy, of Fargo, is at the Clarendon. W. R.

A Chance for the Health Department to Smell Something. BURGLARS ARE AT WORK. Incendiary Fires and Police News- Sixth Ward General No tations. D Should the health officer . who looks after the public interest in that respect In West St. Paul happen to stumble in one of ' his periodical rambles to the vicinity of a spot in the rear of the Bell block, on Fairfield avenue, his olfactory apparatus would doubtless apprise hime of the necessity for a gen eral cleaning up in that locality. In the rear of the structure mentioned is an ill-smelling assortment of rags and decaying vegetation, which has been fired promiscuously from the back porches of the ' building. Daily addi tions of dishwater and other abomina tions have not tended to improve the smell arising from the pest-breedlng spot, and it is no exaggeration to say that there is sufficient material for the propogation of typhus, or any other deadly dlsease.emanatingfrom this fear ful mixture on a hot day to kill every man, woman and child in the ward if administered in properly regulated doses. This is not the only cause for complaint by the residents in the neigh borhood. There are many other blocks, the rear yards of which are in a similar condition, and from similar causes. There ls room for considerable more active supervision by the health official than has beeu displayed heretofore... Early Sunday morning burglars en tered the boarding house on Concord street conducted by John Seagrave, and went through the occupants for about all they had in the cash line. The keys of trunks were taken from the pockets of the boarders, and the trunks rifled of the savings deposited therein by several of the men boarding at the house. Among the victims are John William, August Seagrave, Andrew Larson and others. Nothing but cash was taken, watches and jewelry being left behind. The amount taken toots up about $125. Fire broke out in a barn In the rear of 224 Water street early Sunday morning. The department responded promptly to an alarm turned in by the police, and kept the flames from spreading to ad joining buildings. Damage, $200; in surance, $150; origin, incendiary. ln the Sixtii ward court yesterday the case of H. E. Dreis vs. August Adam was decided for the plaintiff. The case of Charles B.

Mary Jantzen, the girl who was ar rested Sunday at Faribault in possession ot a horse and buggy she had hired sev eral days previously from the livery stable of J. H. Dubord on Fillmore ave nue, was brought back to the city last evening by Detective Daly, who went to Faribault "after her. The girl has been in the employ of a family on South Robert street for several months past, and her queer actions have excited com ment upon more than one occasion. She is believed to be the victim of dementia,* and will doubtless be dealt with ac cordingly. THE SPOIIiS SYSTEM. Republican Civil Service Decapi tates a Revenue Official. The resignation of CaptM. J.O'Connor United States appraiser, was yesterday demanded by Collector Edwards. While the peremptory order was no surprise to the present incumbent of the ap praiser's office, he suffered the demand with the nonchalance of a duke. Al though demanded, the resignation will , not be tendered, but the ever-genial captain will sit until the source from which the demand proceeds moves the chair from under the man who has honorably and efficiently filled it the past four years. Of course, the grind of Minnesota's Republican states men is going on, and the turn was called on the second G. A. R. man with in six weeks. Capt. Hayes, supervising inspector of steam vessels, was ousted ny Ben's hired .men six weeks ago, and now Capt. O'Connor, as popular and faithful an official as ever wore the title, must go, to make room for repair ing and training the G. O. P. for future work, the nature of which cuts no figure— "the end justifying the means." Collector Ed wards acts simply upon instructions from the heads of the department. When Grover Cleveland was fairly in itiated in his presidency, Capt. O'Con nor was appointed to his present post. His four years have about expired, and it is nothing unusual to look upon the inevitable devastation of Democratic oaks by Republican winds. The reason for the removal is purely political, and it is therefore that the appraiser will await force rather than tender his res ignation when good and sufficient rea sons are wanting for such voluntary action. Capt. O'Connor and Capt. Hayes are both Grand Army men whose records commend them to the respect and trust of the government, amid whose toils they eminently quali fied as valorous defenders. They are the first to be decapitated by the federal administration, and, what Is worse,even to unprejudiced Democrats, no Grand Army man has ever applied for or may expect to receive their positions. Who the new appraisers will be is yet a mat ter of speculation. It is, however, sur mised that Charles E. Mayo, of this city, for many years of the hardware firm of Mayo & Clark, will succeed Capt. O'Connor. Mr. Mayo is an honored and respected citizen of this city and state, and if he is to be the fortunate one, his friends may well exult while those of Capt. O'Connor and Capt. Hayes find just cause for regret. A REFORM IN THE RECORDS Urged Before the Commissioners — County Printing — Routine Work. Eventful indeed was the meeting of the county commissioners held at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Attorney Charles E. Otis appeared before the board and delivered a lengthy criticism upon the abstract records of the county. He said that the books, some of which were twenty years old, were inadequate for proper abstracting facilities, and he showed where many were so hopelessly worn and defaced as to seriously hinder all attempts to abstract from them. He thought there was unnecessary delay in getting out abstracts in the county office, and called attention to the fact that patrons were seeking abstracts with the private companies. The matter was referred to the com mittee on public records. It will be re membered that the question of repair ing the abstract records was before the committee about two months ago, which, after considering it, buried the move ment with the epitaph that the county could not afford to lay out the $800 which the changes, repairs and addi tions to the dilapidated records would cost. The matter of awarding the contract for county printing was taken up with a gusto. Interested bidders were pres ented all anxious to talk were allowed the floor in turn. A lengthy discussion ensued, in which many scores were ver bally settled between the belligerent Mr. Thompson, of the Dispatch, and Mr. Brown, of Brown, Treacy & Co. The commissioners were in doubt as to who THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: TUESDAT MORNING, JULY Id, -183&. was the lowest bidder. The Dispatch Printing company claimed that honor, while Brown, Treacy & Co. demon strated their claim. The bidders thrust and parried until the mayor called a halt and ordered a vote. Lavalle, Leidman and Smith voted tor Brown, Treacy & Co., while Mitsch, Boyd, Wright and Boland carried the award to the Dispatch. The figures have already been given in the Globe. The contract for painting the exterior of the old jail building was awarded to P. F. Fitzgibbons, who bid $297. The county stationery contract was awarded to the St. Paul Book and Stationery company Mayor Smith announced that he would defer appointing the county representa tion for the new joint city hall and court house committee until H. R. Bigelow had decided the question sub mitted to him concerning the old and new committees and their constitutional right to transact business pertaining to the' court house. The meeting therefore adjourned until next Monday morning at 10 o'clock to receive Mr. Blgelow's report and act upon the same. Handsome Club Badges. At the headquarters of the Twin City Jockey club, on Third street, were on exhibition yesterday, a number of elegantly-wrought badges, destined to decorate the coat lapels of the president and governors. The president's badge is of oxidized gold,**about the size and slightly thicker than a half-dollar piece, having intertwined upon its face the initials of the club surmounting clasped hands. The twenty badges for the governors . are identical in design, the body of the badge being, however, of oxidized sil ver, with the initial letters in gold., The sale of boxes in the grand stand will commence on Friday morning, a box containing five seats costing $60 for the season. The final declarations were due yesterday. , JyyJ'J % The sanitation company can fine a badly smelling carcass of a horse at No. 766 Tus carora street.

More City Officials in the Soup-Some Hot News From Will. water. Fayette Marsh says he shall to-day be gin action against Commissioners Hen ing, Burlingham and Seward, appointed 1 to assess benefits and damages in con nection with the proposed opening and grading of Martha street, claiming from them damages in the sum of $2,000 on occount of their action in the matter. He alleges that Seward was a party in interest and had property on the same street that would be benefited by open ing the street, and that after the assess ment proceedings were begun, the grade was, at Seward's request, greatly changed opposite and adjacent to the property of Minerva McKusick, damaging the latter's property greatly. Mr. . Marsh has also, on behalf ot Mra. McKusick begun an action seek ing to restrain the city from proceeding with the grading of Martha street, and obtained an order of court yesterday requiring the city to show why a tem porary injunction should not issue. He sets up, besides, that only 3D per cent of the assessment has been collected, and that what was paid has been corruptly diverted and expended for other pur poses. To make the entire programme more varied, Mr. Marsh - said yesterday that within sixty days from now he would have things so fixed that the city council would not be allowed to pay out a dollar. The printer, the contractors, police and fire departments and all mu nicipal officers would be obliged for some months to come to whistle for their pay. Under writs of mandamus he would see all necessary records and and proceedings, and would • notify City Treasurer Hospes to pay no fur ther orders, and If the treasurer dis obeyed then that official would be placed under arrest, thus vacating the office, lt is an awfully quiet day in Stillwater when Mr. Marsh is not heard from in connection with the conduct of municipal affairs. The aldermen and ex-aldermen now under arrest will again appear in court next Thursday. Electric Railway Inspection.

' The Vanderbilt Lines Make Reductions in Grain Rates. j Local Railroad Gossip and Notes of Minor In- j terest. . j When Judge Cooley, president of the interstate commerce commision, „ ar rived in the city last week, the Globe stated that the judge, although pain fully reticent about his business, was here, to begin among other things, the prosecution against the "Soo" for alleged unlawful and criminal discrim ination in rates upon a certain cargo of . alcohol it is said to have shipped from St. Paul to New York. Yesterday morning Judge Cooley called upon Dis trict Attorney Eaxter to further inform him upon the prosecution and shed a ray - of light upon* the correspondence which preceded Mr. Cooley's arrival. The commission claims that the Soo road has openly and willfully violated section 2 of the inter state commerce law, which prohibits any and all discrimination in rates not authorized in the schedule of the com mission. It was three weeks ago that the commission learned of the shipment of alcohol, of which there was 1,800 gal lons, at 47>£ cents per 100, a cut of 8 cents wholly unauthorized by the inter state commerce act. The district at torney was notified and instructed to proceed at once against the officials of the Soo road with a criminal prosecu tion, for such the offense demands. Who the representative of the company was who made the prohibited rate was not . then known, but it is now presumed to be a settled fact who the official was. The district attorney has been in structed to gather the evidence in the case and present it to the grand jury, which convenes in October. If an in dictment is found the arrest will then be made. .. l - . v -. - *-■•_?■ " ' — '—^~ yJ^J CUT TO THE QUICK. Vanderbilt Roads Reduce Grain Kates to the Chicago & Grand Trunk Basis.

Chicago. July 15.— The Union Pacific has given notice of restoration of the passenger rates to Chicago to the old basis of $30.65. It does this on the prom ise of the other lines to withdraw all tickets of theirs that may be found in scalpers' offices, and to prevent as far as possible the manipulation of rates - * by - scalpers in . future. It is understood that the Chicago & Alton is willing to. restore the west-bound rate on the same conditions, proving the right to reduce it again whenever it finds that any of its competitors are not acting in good faith. There is good reason to believe that the passenger rate troubles will be amicably adjusted. Jppjpp . Breach of Contract Alleged. Brooklyn, N. _"., July 15.— P. San ford Ross and Joseph B.

The Prairie Farmer Presents Rea sons for the Latter Practice. To say. the least, measuring is a very uncertain way of buying or selling any product. While the standard bnshel implies the giving or selling of so many pounds, yet in measuring it will vary considerable, both because of the un certain quantity required to make a bushel, according to the ideas of differ ent ones, and because there is a consid erable difference in the weight of vari ous products. Oats, wheat and corn will sometimes overweigh, while at other times they will be light, and a standard measured bushel will either weigh more or less than the standard weight. A good product sold by weight is sold at a loss in this respect when measured out, while if the product is of the poorer quality the buyer will be the loser. With good scales, the fairest way for the buyer and seller Is to weigh. If the product is of a good quality the buyer and seller fare equally well, as the buyer gets what he has bargained for and the seller gets the benefit of the better quality of his product. There is less opportunity for fraud in weighing, and if proper care is taken it should be more satisfactory to both buyer and seller. Every farmer ought to have a good pair of scales and to weigh every thing he sells. In buying or borrowing from a neighbor he should follow the same plan. • Measuring will do when It ls the only plan of ascertaining the quantity, but should not be used when good scales can be haa without much trouble. Mer chants that are tricky will often buy by weight, or the reverse, If it is money to them. Of course the difference may be a small item with one bushel— probably ouly two or three pounds— but keeping this up, it will in a short time make a considerable difference, well worth tak ing the trouble to secure. Of course It ; is possibie to cheat with measure, but between men who are honest the scales much' the fairest. " a» :• FARMERS CAN FIGURE : ; Out the Amount of Butter and Several Very Beneficial Result-. Special to the Globe. Fountain, Minn., June 28. — This afternoon another gentle rain storm vis ited this section of our country, and it was a welcome visitor, as the soil was getting quite dry again, although noth ing in the line of vegetation suffered for the lack of moisture. Everything seemed to grow and look as healthy as ever, still all the people met seemed to think a little rain would be beneficial for the growing crops at present. The pastures were not in good grow ing condition, which might interfere with the dairy business just started, and without so firm a ■ foothold as was deemed necessary for the very best results, although highly encour aging to all who are interested in the, creamery located here. At present some of the farmers are waking up to their own interests, and have really begun to experiment on the results of. feeding for milk and cream. . I learned a day or so ago that one farmer figured out what his cream made into butter and sold netted him per inch. The Creston creamery pays 11 cents per inch, but this farmer found that, made into butter, it netted him 12% cents per Inch. , • ... ' There is an Interesting experiment being tried this present month of June to ascertain what can be done with cows as butter producers at the high rate of feeding sometimes very urgently advocated by some men that are re ferred to as fancy farmers without any .practical experience at all. If the farmers really wake up to the possibili ties of a real live farmer, this section of Minnesota can be made not only pros perous, but almost another garden of Eden on this earth, for it has many nat ural advantages for making a grand display of beautiful scenery, and only Jacks the hands of the farmers to make it blossom out into a land of delight, as well as a land of wealthy and apprecia tlvejfarmers. They are the only ones to do this, and raise themselves above the mere plodders of the soil, that are so often spoken of as "nothing but a farm er," in a tone that has a sound of being low down in the scale of humanity, while r 'in real truth there should be nothing low, ■or ignorant, or ! - poverty-struck about * any farmer's house, or . grounds, ■' or anything degrading about him, or the business he is engaged in, or in his farming operation, lie is his own mas ter, and can do as he will with his own surroundings without consulting other people at all. And he can do a great deal of "fixing up. without money out lay, which will add to the money value of his farm as well as the respect of all that pass by and look at the changed appearance of his surroundings. . It is not his avocation that so often brings forth reproachful terms of speech from others about farming being low as an occupation, as it is the neglected ap pearance of all of his surroundings. p When the farmers prosper all the coun try feels the thrill and the wheels of commerce have a merry hum that is heard far and wide, and a joyful sound pervades the whole world of other oc cupations. The one cannot survive without the other, the farmer must keep the world of living people fed and clothed as much as it Is possible for him to accomplish by his daily toil, which should always be done amidst all the neatness and beauty he can accomplish at hours of leisure or moments snatched from odd times when there, is little else to do, or nothing imperative demanding those few odd moments "caught on the fly." : j;..**-,--..... Such moments will make themselves felt and will show to all that pass the place, and it is not time thrown away, for no time is wasted that improves the habitations of each and every family that owns a home of their own. Wheu once this work begins to show the ef fect of a master's hand in such improve ments of little consequence at first, there will not be much time lost by any farmer that has an eye for appearance who will give up the contest for im proving every 6pare moment, and every corner of his farm will show his care for his own, and this is what every householder can do, and . should d0,. t0 have the whole land a thing of beauty and a laud that will tell of the higher, intellectual quality of the people who dwell In such homes, aud avoid such surroundings. Money can accomplish much in the way of ornamenting the homes of the people, but when each owner of his own home applies his own hands to this labor he will find that he can save his money and still have a beautiful home with the money in his pocket, lf he does not care for flowers he can have a grass plat in town or a large lawn on his farm in front of the house, and trees from the woods for shading the whole house and lawn without any cost as to the money expended on the place, and this is work that all the family can engage in, and be the better for it, too.

A family live in Harlem -who never have any clocks in the house, because a canary which they have always warbles the hours. At 12 o'clock the bird turns three springs backward and sings "Annie Laurie." The people " are awakened at 7 o'clock each morning by the strains of "Bid Me Good-bye." There is a horse in Cayuga county who likes to climb up the "ladder of the stable into the loft, and from thence to the roof of the building and slide down to the ground. His repealed perform ances have made the roof so slippery that when lightning struck the place last summer it glanced off at once and fell to the ground, leaving the stable unharmed. A Wisconsin farmer own a yellow dog. the exact colorof a pumpkin, which is called "Captain Jinks." The dog is very fleet and will overtake anything in the country. His favorite amusement is to run in and out and between the wheels of a fast-moving express train. The farmer is greatly attached to him, and last week refused an offer of $3 which a traveling showman made. A cat in Mississippi recently gave up Its life to save the community. The river was very high, and the dike which had been built to keep out the waters gave way in one place, and the water was pouring in unnoticed, when the cat passed by and, realizing the condition of affairs, crawled into the hole and stopped the flood. It is estimated that $80,000 and a number of lives were saved by the heroic feline, and the villagers have built a beautiful tomb of red gran ite, with mice carved in relief, over the bones of the animal. A cow is the property of a poor widow in the Ohio valley who supports herself by taking in washing. Every night in the winter when the cow comes home to be milked she brings enough wood and brush on her -horns to keep her mistress in fuel for the next day. If her pasture-ground is needed for bleaching purposes the cow goes into a neighboring cornfield to eat. She al ways rests under a tree during the noon hour, and starts to eat again at 1 o'clock precisely. The cow is of a sky-blue color, dappled with yellow. FACTS AMD FANCIES.
