Bartlett as minister of the First Unitarian church nt Kalamazoo leads the Tribune to recall for the forty-seventh time that the lady was once a member ot its re portorial staff. This is persecution of the most relentless, malignant type. Even if Miss Bartlett in her inexperi enced youth, when she was perhaps forced by circumstances to gain a live lihood, was obliged to seek employment as a 'member of the Tribune staff, should this be brought up against her continually and kept before the. public constantly? Has not the lady's conse cration to" holy work, her earnest effort to atone for the past by endeavoring to do good unto others, wiped out thisoniy blot upon her fair record— thai she once worked on the Minneapolis Tribune? S. H. Frledlander 'isn't going to be the manager ot the exposition next year, but he got "honorable mention" in tb« race, and possibly that's all he. wanted. It is wonderful, however, the number of people, ami. prominent people, too, who have made the acquaintance of the trim little man in a dress suit, who is always to be found in either the lobby or foyer of the Harris theater when there's a show on the stage. He hasn't been in Minneapolis nine months, but he knows more people and their charac teristics than the average reporter who has had street work for two years or ever. P. Halifax Gibbons has had the bad taste to have an eulogistic autobiogra phy of himself published in the Free Lance, which circulates chiefly in the Fourth, where "lion. P. 11. Gibbons," as the paper calls him, resides. Pat is stuck on newspaper notoriety, but they say for once he is really offended at something that was said about him in a newspaper. In his autobiography he is spoken of as being born in New York and educated for the priesthood. A gentle paraurapher in the Times, how ever, disputed this, and said "he was born on the flats and educated for the Josh mark." And Pat is really put out about a little thing like that! W. E. Sterling who, with the veteran 6tage manager, James Harrison, has opened a school for dramatic training, Bays he is astonished at the class of peo ple who desire to study elocution and technique. "They are not," as a rule, as 1 had been naturally led to suppose." said he, ''giddy young girls or high School graduates, who think they are born Booths or Modjeskas. but most of them are sensible people, whose love for the dramatic is not satisfied with limply witnessing the performances of others." Ed. J. Davenport still denies that he either expects or wants to be postmas ter, but, just the same, he is daily be sieged by applicants who want a "yob" when the inevitable occurs, so Edward's gentle denial does not go for much. PHASES OP LIFE. Harry Mills, the clever little comedian of the "Chip of the Old Block com pany." that was at the Bijou last week, was the center of a group of congenial spirits at the Pickwick club, and the discussion was marriage among mem bers of the dramatic profession. Fin ally Harry wound up the debate with: "Well, you can't toll now who's mar ried and who aint. I met an actor a while ago whom 1 knew had married a coubrctto with whom I was well ac quainted. I naturally asked: 'How's your wife?'"' "My wife!" he answered with a sort of haven't you-lieard-that-yet air, "why, my wife went back to her husband long ago." • • • An almost fatal accident occurred at the falls yesterday. A lumberman, who was trying to untangle some logs that had become lodged, fell Into the river. The mad waters, in their terrible rush, carried him with resistless force to the apron, down which he slid into the seething six-inch vortex. When res cued, the unfortunate man was as full of slivers as a porcupine is of quills.

Minneapolis hotel men Beem to find St. Paul Sundays as easy as any one else. THE COLLOM CASE. So far, the Collom case is proceeding with great good humor on the part of counsel, and occasionally a joke from one side or the other enlivens the pro ceedings. Brother Blaisdell, however, has not shown any indication as yet of being in a humorous mood. Probably he thinks that the question of shoulder ing a debt of $227,000 is no joke. Mr. Blaisdell will be on the stand again to-day, but how long he will re main there is unknown. He will be followed by D. T. Ames, the New York expert on penmanship, whose testimony will doubtless be very interesting. Mr. Ames is a very ordinary -looking man, but one evidently of much shrewdness. He carries with him. and keeps close watch over, a small grip, which is sup posed to contain the implements of bis trade, and possibly samples of noted forgeries. • * • Yesterday a frame about two feet by three and covered with canvas was brought into the court room and placed beside the counsel for the state. Whether it contains enlarged samples of Blalsdell's genuine and the alleged forged signatures, or is to be used to throw them upon by means of a calcium light is not known. Mr. Blaisdell was exceedingly nervous on the Etand yesterday, and continually fumbled a pocket handkerchief in his bands while undergoing a close cross examination by Mr. Wilson. The venerable witness is a fair sample ot a hard working man suddenly en riched by circumstances which were not or his makiug, and who finds him self in possession of more wealth than he can wisely handle. Such men are the easy prey ot sharks. POLITICAL POINTS. The Minneapolis Single Tax league is getting to be a regular hot-bed of treason to protection, that pet doctrine of the Republican party. Something ought to be done about it. Even Char ley Pilisbury is going to illumine the society with his views on taxation. — o— A Minneapolis Republican, who has recently returned from a trip through lowa, expresses great fears that the Democratic state ticket will be elected there at the coining election. He says that the party seems to l)e dead, while the Democrats are wide awake and are making a close canvass. Mr. Boies, the Democratic candidate for governor, he says, is speaking nightly to crowded houses on the subjects of the tariff and prohibition and is makine great inroads into the Republican ranks. It was rumored last evening that the lowa Republican state committee had just heaid that Bob Evans and Eugene Hay saved North Dakota to prohibition and Republicanism, and h.i'i sent an urgent dispatch to these spellbinders to come at once. AMUSEMENTS. The Initial performance of the mueh talked-of larce-comedy "The City Di rectory" will be given at the Grand to-night. The cast is claimed to be all that it should be, consideiing the pur pose for which the play was written— the production of all the merriment possible from the rise to the fall of the curtain. The music is lor the most part new, and all of it pretty and catch ing. The jokes and Bags are said to be destitute of that familiar flavor of an tiquity which hovers over the average comedy. ward Harrigan, of Harrigan and Hart, the well known author-actor, will be at Harris' theater next week and present three of his best productions, "Old Lavender." "Cordeho's Aspira tions" »nd "Grip." . Mr. Harrigan brings his entire company of thirty peo ple with him. "The Fakir" drew another packed house to Harris' theater last night, and the place fairly shook with laughter and applause from the audience. Mat inee to-day. "A Legal Wrong" will be next week's attraction at the Bijou opera house. The Single Tax League. ■The Minneapolis Single Tax League held its weekly meeting last evening. A. Sherlock read a paper relating to subsidies to English shipping and boun ties to sugar growers by other Euro pean countries. With regard to subsi dies, Mr. Sherlock said that none were granted, as was eenerally believed in this country. He said that the experi ment of giving bounties to sugar growers in Fiance, Germany and Aus tria had proven to be failures so far as effecting any useful purpose was con cerned, as it had been discovered that it resulted only in furnishing sugar to ■ other countries, like England, at low prices. The following addresses were an nounced for future meetings: Oct. 30, by Edward Russell, on t c wool tariff; Nov. 6. by J. W. Alexander, on a sub jected to pc selected by himself, and at subsequent dates not fixed by Dr. R. D. Laird on "Contagious Diseases as the Kesult of Overcrowding in Cities;" by Hon. C. A. Pillsbury on the "Extension of the Policy of Making Public Improve ments by Special Assessments," and by Prof. Pendergast, of the state uuivers sity, on"Uow the Single Tax Will ; Affcct the Farmers." It was announced that Henry George 1 will make a trip through the West this winter and can be procured for an ad dress in Minneapolis, but action was de ferred. The Reception Committee.

By an aereement between the state and the defense, the examination was continued until Oct. 30. The grand jury will meet on the 28th of this month and will no doubt look into the charge of embez zlement against the defendants. As sistantant County Attorney Briggs says the continuance practically amounts to waiving an examination. The defend ants are each under $ 1,500 bail for their appearance. Brownson Club Entertainment.

THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: THURSDAY MOiIMNG, OCTOBER 24, 1889. FOR SWEET CHARITY. The Minneapolis Four Hun dred Turn Out at Its Call. The Attendance at the Annual Ball Smaller Than Usual. Very Mysterious Disappear of a Witness in a Libel Suit Susan B. Anthony Talks On Woman Suffrage— Dr. Tif fany's Reception. The charity ball has become a promi nent feature in Minneapolis society. In fact it miget be almost said to be tho feature of* all the many brilliant events of the winter seasons. For several years it has been looked forward to as a harbor of pleasure and looked back upon as mile posts upon the social high way. It is always conducted by the best of neoDte and ot course only the best of people attend. Coming as it did this year at almost the very beginning of the social seasson, it was hailed with an even unusual en thusiasm and the charity ball which filled the parlors and ball rooms of the West hotel last night was an event which will be memorable for the genu ine pleasure which it afforded. As early as 8 o'clock the carriages began to arrive bearing the guests to the ball. They were greeted in the re ception room by a committee consisting of Mrs. J. S. Pilisbury, Mrs. R. B. Langdon, Mrs. U. M. Carpenter and Mrs. U«onre H. Christianson. The parlors which were thrown open to the reception of the guests were pret tily though not elaborately decorated with palm and cut flowers. A design especially appropriate to the ball graced a mantel' in one of the large parlors. It was a semi-circular set piece bearing the word "Charity" in red roses on a background of cream and tube roses and smilax. Facing this on the op posite side of the room was another mantel overlaid with palms and chrysanthemums and over-twined with trailing bouquets of roses and smilax. In the adjoit'ing and main parlor the splendid mantel was handsomely banked in superb ferns, palms and begonias. Baskets of roses and carnations in cut designs and exquisite table pieces were scattered through the pretty rooms. There were about 600 guests in at tendance during the evening, made up in a large part of the society people who make up Minneapolis' 400. The costumes of the ladies were many of them very handsome indeed. The big dining room was converted Into the dancing hall. Danz orchestra furnished the music. The floor was not in the least crowded, and the dancing was delightful. There were fewer dancers than at last year's ball, but this in no wise deteriorated from the pleas ure of those who filled the floor, but rather enhanced it. The floor commit tee consisted of C. McC. Reeve, C. B. Eustis, J. A. Van Derlip, W. P. Palmer, Cavour Langdon, W. E. Steele and F. B. Hart. The management of these gentlemen was perfect. The dancing programme consisted of twenty numbers, opening with a promenade, "Artist's Home," and closing with the waltz, "Glacien Garden." The ouad rille "Charity" seemed a favorite. A collation was served in the ladies' ordinary and in the corridors near its entrance. A detachment of Danz's mu sicians furnished music here al3O. FAIR LADIES' TOII.KTS.

The libel suit of Charles Albre vs. the Pioneer Press for $'25,000 damages came up for trial yesterday in the dis trict court, but was continued because of the mysterious absence of one of the important witnesses for the Press. Tbe suit is based on au article entitled "A Mad Lover," the substance of which was that the plaintiff became infatuated with Mrs. Brown, who did not recipro cate, and decided to marry her at any cost. He, according to the article, threat ened her life if she did not marry him. Mrs. Sarah Becker, the chief witness for the defense cannot be found. An other peculiar circumstance is the mysterious disappearance of her little son. This witness was found by Detec tive Smith a little over a week ago in Spring Valley, and a subpoena was served upon him. Since coining to the city the lad has been stopping at the Brunswick. He was at the court house last niirht when the jury in the case was empaneled, but subsequently dis appeared. Judge Flandrau filed an application for habeas corpus yesterday niorning, but Judge Smith decided to continue the trial until the December term of court, and ordered the defend ant to pay disbursements and $10 costs of the suit so far. DISTBICT COVRT BRIEFB. Horace Brown has begun an action against M. A. Balfour to recover $500 claimed on a promissory note. Judge Young has approved a bond for attach ment. Gretchen Gjertsen has begun an ac tion against C. A. Smith & Co. and oth ers to obtain clear title to a lot in El well & iliggiirs addition. The case of Edwin L. Wright against Sheriff Ege for the recovery of $700. the value of goods seized by him, was on trial yesterday afternoon before Judge Smith. Jenny, Semple & Co. aie virtu ally the defendants. The North Star Boot and Shoe com pany has begun an action against E. J. Cutts and P. G. Godley for the recovery of (1,593 claimed on a note. They have also sued P. G. Godley for $428 claimed for merchandise. The temporary iniunctlon in the suit of Edward H. Burrett et al. against A. A. Parkhurst has been dissolved by Judge Young. The cases of Ballard, Bostwick and Pierce, the officers of the Northwestern Collection, Loan and Trust company, were continued to-day tor one week. The cause of this was that F. F. Davis, tbe company's attorney, is engaged at present in the Collom trial. The Brown-Farnham case was still on trial yesterday before Judge Rea. A case before Judge Young yesterday with the tittle Jonathan 11. Brown vs. the Vernon Dairy company for about $800 claimed for milk, attracted some at tentiou because of its being an old and mu ch-cont ested case. It has been to the supreme court. THE WOMAN SUKFRAGISTS. They Elect Officers and Listen t > mi- a n B. Anthony. It was evidently quite an event for th believers in woman suffrage that they should be addressed by so eminent a leader in the cause as Susan B. An thony, and the attendance at the annual meeting of the Minnesota Woman's Suffrage association yesterday afternoon at Dyer's hall was quite large. Por traits of Miss Anthony ami Mrs. Lucy Stone graced the platform, in the center of which was a silken banner inscribed: "Woman's Suffrage Association of Min nesota, 1881-1889. Suffrage is a Citizen's Right, and Women are Citizens." Mrs. Dri Martha G. Kipley presided and called the meeting to order. Commit tees on finance and nominations were appointed, and then followed addresses by Mrs. Julia B. Nelson, of Red Wing; Miss Susan B. Anthony and Dr. S. W. Sempto, of All Souls' Universalist church, at the close of which the follow ing officers were elected: President, Dr. Mary Emery, St. Paul; vice presi dent. Mrs. Sarah B. Stevens, Duluth; treasurer, Mrs. M. A. Dersett, Minne apolis; corresponding secretary, Mrs. E. Cohen, Minneapolis: recording sec retary, Mrs. Gould. Excelsior; executive committee, Judge N. H. Heiniup. Mar tha G. Kipley. Mrs. Laura Howe Car penter, S. W. S. Semple, Mrs. R. S. Smith. The following vice presidents, repre senting senatorial districts, were also elected: Mrs. Jessie Cawley, Pipestone; Mrs. Bowles, Webster: Mrs. Julia B. Nelson. Red Wing: Dr. Fuller, St. Paul; Mrs. A. T. Anderson, Minneapolis; Mrs. A. T. Bolds, Minneapolis. A meeting of the executive committee and officers will be held this morning at 10:30 o'clock at the. residence of Mrs. Dorsett. 418 Nicollet avenue, at which Mls3 Anthony will be present. SUSAN B. ANTHONY'S ADDRESS. In the evening Susan B. Anthony ad dressed a large audience in Dyer's hall. In the course of her remarks Mis 9 An thony referred to the struggle of women to obtain the right of the ballot as the only time in the history of the world where the oppressed class had insti tuted and carried on the tight for free dom. In illustration of this she said that the abolition of slavery did not come from the works or deeds of the negro, nor had they inaugurated the movement, but noble minds and philanthropic men were at the head ot the movement when they were set free. After the negro had been set free these noble men dis covered that without the ballot the negro was but little better off than when a slave, and the right to vote was given to him. The same could be said of the men who worked in the mines and factories of England. But a few years ago they were among the most oppressed people of the earth. Now tnat the ballot has been placed in their hands their condition has been much improved. These men did not bring about the change in their condition themselves; it was the briehest rainiis of the nation that took up their cause and championed it. With women, however, it is different. These very men who helped to give the negro his rights and who have done so much for the miners and factory hands, stain! back when the women demand their rights and tell them they will have to help themselves. Miss An thony declared that the women have helped themselves and done much to better their condition in life. She cited the facts that forty years ago there were no colleges where a woman could ob tain an edudtion. All that she was al lowed to learn was reading, writing and arithmetic. Now the doors of most col leges are open to her anh she has found a place in all the learned professions, and broadened her usefulness in life. While an educated woman forty years ago would have attracted attention everywhere and been looked upon as a curiosity now the uneducated one is the person who attracts attention. These educated women have married, and through their influence there lias l>een an immense revolution in the homes of the people. One point dwelt upon by the speaker was that while there were thousands of women working eide by side with men and doing their work equally as well, they were in almost all cases paid less for tbeir labor than the men. She de manded that these women should re ceive the same pay for the same labor, other things being equal as the men. Forty years ago she said there was not a state in the Union when a married woman had a right to have any of the proceeds of her own labor for herself. This has changed now. and a few of the rights of woman are being respected. No woman has any idea of the power which the law even now gives the husband over his wife. This is because ninety-nine out of every one-hundred husbands were better than the law. Education has brought about the changes. Forty years ago no wom an thonghtof politics. Now avery wom an is in politics intellectually if not physically. In Wyoming women have enjoyed the right of lull suffrage for twenty years, and sit on juries. They enforce the laws, and it is the only way that the vices which beset society can be wiped out. Miss Anthony, In a burst of eloquence, said: "1 do no ask for the franchise ment of women because they are going to vote for this party or that one. But because I think they have an equal right to think and act with men. 1 de mand equality and political equality with men as a right, and women who don't want their opinions counted are at fault. If I were in favor of prohibition and every other woman in the land favored free whisky, I would still main tain their right to vote, and it is a very mean man who will oppose the fran chlsementof women because he is afraid \ they will oppose the political party he is allied with. You have a school fran cliisement. Exercise it, not only as a right but as a duty. Go to the legisla ture and get a right to vote in munici pal affairs, but do not ask them to change the state constitution. Get congress to do that by adopting the six teenth amendment, giving women the recognition which justly belongs to them, and the right to vote." Mrs. Nelson, of Red Wing, read a series of resolutions setting forth the rights of women to vote, and calling on the legislature and congress to recog nize their right of franchise, which were unanimously adopted. DR. TIFFANY WELCOMED. The Members of Hennepin Ave nue Church Greet Their New Pastor. Dr. and Mrs. O. H.

The city comptroller has discovered that the city of Minneapolis has been paying interest on *68,000 worth of bonds which were never issued by the city, and no record shows that they were ever assumed by the city council. When Minneapolis was made a city by the act of 1883, the legislature provided that the city should assume the in debtedness of the different school dis tricts which were embraced in the new corporation. The only authority for ttie bonds which has so far been discov ered is a resolution by the council sev eral years ago.which authorizes the pay ment of *20,000 bonds, issued by dis trict No. 5, but the bonds are not de scribed in the resolution. It is known that the following bonds issued by the old districts which are now embraced in the city are still outstanding: District number 1 ..$ 1,000 District number 5 (Lyndale school).. 2'',OuO Distrirt number 9 (Irving school) 10,000 District number !»3 (Whiltier school) 29,000 District number 119.... 1,000 Total $o«, 00 The bonds under dispute were dis posed of as follows: Those of the dis trict 93, $28,500, by the National Life Insurance company, of Montpelier, Vt.; those of district No. 9, $18,000, by the Revere National bank, Boston, and Josiah Thompson; district 119. $1,000, by J. D. Lanen, Tarry town, N. V.; district No. 1. $1,000, Kenpff, district No. 5. $20,000, D. K. Emerson, Boston, and J. D. Lanen, Tarrytown, N. Y. . Although the interest on the bonds has been regularly paid for several years it was not discovered until last week that the records of the comptroll er's office did not show any authority for the issuance of the bonds and th« comptroller notified the city treasurer not to pay any more coupons. J. A. Modisctte, the assistant city treasurer, says that while the number and amount of the bonds are not specified in the proceediugs of the council, his depart ment has been properly authorized to do as has been done. The resolution of the council authorizes the city treas urer to pay the coupons and the board of sinking fund commissioners to redeem the botids as they fall due, but the bonds are not specified, nor has any schedule been filed with the city comptroller. In speaking of the matter yesterday Comp troller Calderwood said that until he has some well-founded reason for pay ing the coupons he would not sanction it. There is nothing to show that the city ever assumed this indebtedness and if it becomes necessary Mr. Calder wood will take the matter into the courts. HE STOLE SEALSKINS. The Mysterious Prisoner Was Not Ta.scott After AH. Tlio mysterious prisoner who had been so closely confined in a cell on the second floor of the central station since Saturday last was turned over to De tective Rohan, of the Chicago police fcrce, last night and started . for the Windy City. His name is Jacob Selley, and lie was arrested here by Detectives Doyle and Lawrence on a description furnished by the Chicago : police, who want him to answer to the charge of grand larceny. Supt. Brackett is au thority for the statement that Selicy made a business of repairing sealskin sacques and had built ud an extensive business. Two weeks ago he sold a number of sacques belonging to his cus tomers and skipped out. The police of all the large cities were notified to look out for the man, and when he came to Minneapolis ho fell into the bands of the detectives. Why so much mystery surrounded bis arrest and confinement has not been explained. PEACE AND PROSPERITY. Recent Changes in the American Building and Loan Associa tion. The American Building and Loan association loses a capable and efficient officer by the retirement of President F. P. Kundell, who has accepted an offer of a very lucrative position else where. He leaves the association with the best wishes and entire good will of every officer and employe. His suc cessor, James H. Bishop, is one of the most prominent wholesale merchants in Minneapolis. Mr. Bishop has tilled the position of secretary since last spring acceptably, and will doubtless prove fully as useful in his new capacity. An official of the association said yes terday that the business of the concern had increased So per cent this month, and that the cash receipts were so far 20 per cent greater. The accumulated bonds and mortgages now aggregate $2,000,000. Not Much Variation. The Northwestern Miller, in its issue of to-day, will say: "There is not much variation in operations on the platform at present, and the amount of flour made last week was about the same as the week before. The aggregate out put of the twenty-one mills was 166,680 barrels— averaging 27,780 barrels daily —against 168,030 barrels the preceding week, and 180,200 for the corresponding time in 1888. The same twenty-one mills are in operation now, producing at the rate of about 27,000 barrels per twenty-four hours. Of course, some of the water mills are doing pretty ragged work from the lack of power, a good deal of the time grinding with only half feed or less. The eleven engines in use are furnishing power for the major por tion of the current output. It is gen erally expected that as soon as severe weather sets in the mills wholly relying upon water for power will be rendered helpless in most cases." GIVES A MONOPOLY. Uncle Sara's Vessels Given the Cold Shoulder. Ottawa. Out., Oct. 23.— response to strongly worded memorials from British Columbia vesselmen, the com missioner of customs has ordered that all freight sent in bond from a Canadian point through the United States to Brit ish Columbia ports must be carried from the Pacific port of trans-shipment to destination in British vessels, or in ves sels of foreign countries who possess coasting privileges in Canadian waters. The Canadian law forbidding coasting privileges to American vessels has Heretofore been honored in the breach and the order is in the shape of a bomb shell to B ritish Columbian importers, as it practically gives a monopoly to the Canadian Pacific Navigation company.
