MINNEAPOLIS. NOTE AND COMMENT. It is understood that when the gym nasium hall of the Athletic club at 520 Hennepin avenue is finished about July 12, a "knockers' " reception will be given for the benefit of those who have so "earnestly and conscientiously" op posed the enterprise, invitations to which will be issued on yellow paper. Thare is a young man in the vicinity of the Globe who nightly turns what is usually an Elysium upon earth into a veritable Tartarus by means of various wind instruments. It is hoped that he will get wind of the feeling against him and prevent a murder. The manager of the exposition has telegraphed for information of the whereabouts of 11. Jay Smith. It is feared that the art director's middle name has been a temptation to Gotnam crooks. Rev. Olympia Brown will speak to night on "The True Labor Reform." If she moans as the reformers want it. she will attempt to solve the problem of 00 Lours' work for 26 hours' pay. 11 'Tween you and 1" it is not iust honest for the Evening Tribune to print gossiping stories in which the audi torium of Chicago figures, without giv ing the author credit. The Minneapolis ministers wish to deny through the Globs, that where ever the name of St. Paul occurs in the Bible it will in Minneapolis pulpits be changed to read "The apostle who bad a mania for letter writing." The Northwestern Conservatory of Music has turned loose another batch of musicians. This is not the way to encourage immigration and beat St. Paul in 1900. "The Evening Tribune publishes the fullest and mose complete market re ports of any paper in the Northwest." is the way an "ear" of an evening paper reads. Where are the market reports of the only thoroughly live and aggres sive morning paper in the city? Dr. D. J. Bun-ell says he is war to the knife on St. Paul. Is not the position of West Minster becoming heretical when he thus pitches into the great apostle? A party of 150 Vermonters went out to Minnetonka yesterday to have, they said, an old-fashioned Ver mont time. That explains the scarcity of spruce gum which prevailed in the city yesterday, and likewise the way the stones came crashing down the hills into the lake during the afternoon. Frank Deshon denies that he is going toDuluth. He says that Minneapolis Is chilly enough, when it comes to rais ing a laugh, and he has heard that Du luth is still colder. Uncle Bob won the Chicago Derby and, judging from appearances, he has many nephews in Minneapolis who are elated over the old gentleman's success. All the Minneapolis hotels have on hand blank affidavits setting forth that deponent repudiates, in toto, the action of McCafferty, Murray, et al., which visitors from St. Paul are required to sign before being assigned rooms. According to the evidence in the di vorce court, Francis Cole was a frequent attendant at dances, and became so ad dicted to . tripping the light fantastic that he led his wife a rather wearisome dance at home. llis friends have heretofore had no Idea that W. H. Eustis was a musician, but it is a fact that he is arranging a piece of music to be called "The St. Paul Patrol." Its distinguishing feat ure will be an immense number of •whole notes and short rests. The Congregational club will soon discuss "The Influence of College Training Upon Success in Life." Col lege training frequently contributes much to the success of the foreign im migrant by removing from his occupa tion of digging sewers and carrying the hod men who, after a college course, will accept nothing less for a life work than presiding ever a ribbon counter and wearing gorgeous neckties. ABOUT TOWN. Secretary Hall, of the board of trade, may not amount to much at a meeting of that institution, but when he occu pies a seat in the grand stand he is a monarch of the first water, and his clarion voice is heard high above the Ehouting of the coachers. Every um £ire is familiar with him, and Tim lurst says that he could not umpire a game without his valuable assistance. Jt is stated in club circles that Col. Badger has become imbued with an aquatic spirit and has challenged W. B. Wheeler to a mile race with turn. He thinks that with a shell he would be a winner, although Bill may get the best of him in milder sports. Tony Redfiekl will leave to-night for the West, where he is to become lord mayor of a town, start a bank and a lodge of Elks, and marry the only woman in the town before he has been there a week. The boys will miss him when he is gone, and many a tear will fall from gazelle-like eyes when the train whirls him away. The school of fine arts is contemplat ing a sketching trip to Kokomo, and the villagers are already sharpening the ttorns to their pet buils, and keeping their watchdogs on half rations in an ticipation of the event. John G. Taylor, general passenger agent of the Soo line, took a party on a fishing excursion on his line last even- Ing, among which were several news paper men. If John's reputation as an entertainer is what it is cracked up to be, there will be some wild and woolly fishing tales afloat on Monday after noon, and autipyriue will be at a pre ininui. The lumbermen could not agree upon a price list that would be acceptable to all the dealers, and there is another case of a first-class trust gone wrong. Some people don't Know when they are offered a good thing, and puichasers re joice in consequence. It is rumored that the boy song writer of Minneapolis will write a comicopera for the Baker coiupany.in which he will assume the title role. The performance will be given with closed doors, and a guard of police. When John Donaldson has got his boxing class into good condition, there will be a husky looking body of men at the Twin City Athletic club. Mr. Car rier will go into training for a running race, and George Broadhurst will prac tice as the strong man in dumb bill lift ing and stone crushing. Among the many new and incipient mayoralty booms there is a growing im pression that Maj. Willie E. Steele is not, never has been, nor is he likely to be in it, the board of trade to the "con trary notwithstanding. So there you are. WILL GO TO HASTINGS. the Minneapolis Flambeau Club AVill Parade on July 4. A meeting of the Flambeau club was lield in City Comptroller Calderwood's office last evening, and the invitation extended by the citizens of Hastings to participate in the Fourth of July cele bration was accepted. F. E. Barnum, secretary of the citizens' committee of Hastings, said that the arrangements for the mardi gras had been completed. There will be twenty-six business and eleven special floats in line, besides the fire department, a company of Roman soldiers, the several G. A. R. posts, the city council and the mounted police. A meetine of the Flambeau club will be held to-morrow evening to arrange the details. ALAS, POOR MERRIAM, The Census War Has Played Horse With Him in Hen nepin County. All the Work in His Belief 0 Must Now Be Done Over Again. Still No Candidate Appears to Do Battle With Him in Minneapolis. Judson N. Cross Switches to the Judgeship— Political Small Talk. The political situation from a Repub lican standpoint in Minneapolis is very much mixed now, and the closest poli tical observers are at sea as to what the outcome will be. Less than a week ago almost every Republican in Ilennepin county had made up his mind that Mer riam would be renoininatecl at the com ing state convention, and the only doubt that existed in the minds of the politi cians rested with the balance of the ticket. Merriam had carefully selected his men, and they saw to it that his in terests were carefully guarded. There was a feeble opposition to his renomi nation from the Loren Fletcher source, but that proved so small that the Mer riamites did not fear it in the least. A big change has come over these friends of the governor since the arrest of the census enumerators, and all the work that was done so carefully and systematically must, if Merriam is to be renominated, be done over again. This is hardly possible just now, particularly as Merriam's heuchmen then are to be found among his most bitter opponents now. If the state convention were not held before September something might possibly be done to patch matters up in Merriafn's interest, but as it comes off in.side the next thirty days the time is too short to effect a compromise, and he must not be surprised if he finds a solid delegation from Hennepin county in the state convention working for some other man. Notwithstanding that matters look decidedly blue for the governor, the few friends he has left in Minne apolis will make the most of their time in working up a strong sentiment for him if such a thing is possible. These friends of his were mucn pleased to see an interview from him in the Minneap olis papers Thursday, which was tele graphed from Red Wing that day re gretting that Minneapolis and Sf. Paul had any misunderstanding on the cen sus work. The interview was short and feebly to the point, and is being used for all there is in it. Still, few Minne apolis Republicans take any stock in it, and are studiously looking about for another more available candidate to pick up, but as yet they have not found any. •• « • The latest reports from the seat of operations were that neither Langdon nor any members of the Pillsbury fam ily would have anything to do with the office, because they believed the time was too short to accomplish anything in their own behalf, but were willing to take any good man outside the Twin Cities. Some of them hold Knute Nel son, of Alexandria, in view, but the little Norwegian says that he would not accept any political" office in the coun try; that he is ontof politics, and would not enter the field again if nominated for governor by both parties. This un qualified refusal of Nelson's to become a candidate blasts all hopes of getting him for the sacrifice. In their anxiety to beat Merriam it is said that an effort is to be made to persuade certain lead ing Democrats in Minneapolis to take up Judge Lochren and nominate him for governor, so that in case Merriam is successful in getting a renomination, Judge Lochren, by the aid of Repub lican votes in Hennepin county, would be elected. None of the leading Demo crats have been approached jet on this score, but unless harmony is restored in the ranks of the "grand old party," something similar to this move will be sprung very soon. The Democrats of course would have no ob jections to getting all the votes in Hen nepin county for their gubernatorial nominee, and with such a powerful fac tor assisting them would be sure of electing their man by several thousand majority. The suggestion made a few days ago by one of "the Minneapolis newspapers to name a citizens' ticket this fall is not being received as unanimously as the father of the suggestion would desire. The Republicans generally are in favor of such a move, knowing of course that they cannot possibly elect over four aldermen, and perhaps less than that; while the mayoralty contest from a Re publican standpoint will be made with out any hope whatever of success. By such a* move the Republicans hope to retain their present prestige in the city council, and possibly a mugwump mayor, but the Minneapolis Democrats are not likely to get caught with such chaff. They see victory in the future; they are sure of getting the mayor, nine and perhaps ten aldermen, and a ma jority of the park board, besides several county offices and a judgeship. With this spread of sweetmeats in store for them they will not be so foolish as to bury ali party feeling simply because a misunderstanding has arisen between the two cities which has no bearing whatever on local politics. * * * ♦ The Republicans, however, are using this unpleasantness for all there is in it to bolster up their lost cause in the city, and it will be a matter of no surprise if they fail. Whenever the Democrats of Minneapolis were ready in the past to meet their Republican brethren half way, were they accommodated? Never. On the contrary, when the Democrats were sure of victory four years ago the Republicans, headed by E. M. Johnson, had the city redistricted so that each ward would have its quota of Repub lican citizens. Protests went up from the leading Democrats of the city against increasing the number of wards and the map laid out for political purposes, but there was no attention paid to them. The scheme was carried through, and the number of aldermen from each ward was doubled, as well as the number of wards. That is the sort of treatment the Minneapolis Democrats got when they asked to have seuiething to say about the changes proposed then. Yet the Republicans have the gall to urge the blending of both parties now on the flimsy pretext that such a move would benefit the city. If the Demo crats should go into any move of that kind they would not get anything ex cept, perhaps, a few minor offices. They will surely not exchange the bird in the hand for the two in the bush. Capt. Judson N. Cross, who has seen many proud days in Minneapolis since he approved the ordinance granting the Northern Pacific the right to use its First street crossing on Twentieth ave nue north for a period of twenty years, independent of the city— besides giving the railroad the right to prevent the city from either bridging or tunnelling the crossing— is a full-fledged candidate for judge of the district court, to suc ceed Judge Rea, whose term will ex pire July 1, by reason of his resigna tion. Capt. Cross had first decided to enter the senatorial contest against John Day Smith, but has since chanced his mind, and proposes to work for a seat on the bench. He is making a thorough canvass of the situa tion, and entertains strong hopes of getting the nomination. If City Attor ney Russell, however-wants the nomi nation, and it is belieffed he does, Capt. Cross might as well save his shoe leather running after politicians, for he cannot defeat Russell. If the Republic ans should agree to meet the Demo THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNING.' JUNE 22, 1890. —SIXTEEN PAGES. crats, and.name men for the judiciary outside the conventions, Cross, of course, would get left. ** # ♦ Since Capt. Cross withdrew from the senatorial contest \ against John Day Smith, Judge Torrence thinks he can go a peg higher, and look for the sena torial plum. So Smith is not going to have a walkaway in any case. Tor rence is very popular in" the Eighth ward, and is making friends rapidly. His senatorial candidacy has left one less aldermanic candidate in that cold water section of the city. Aid. Hanson thinks he could do credit to his constit uency if elected to the legislature, but he dislikes leaving the city council until he has seen an ordiance passed compelling the street railway company to build and operate a cross-town line. This is his great hobby, and he believes that he can accomplish the fete if given another term in the council, . if he were very anxious to get such an ordinance passed he could have it introduced any time and passed, the company to build the line say next year or year after. He is holding back on this with the view of strengthening his candidacy when the proper time comes, and, no doubt, a scheme would insure him a very hand some support. * * • ♦ SeemS Ex-Aid. Albeit Lawrence, of the Eighth ward, would like to go to the leg islature next winter,and,'would come out now and announce his candidacy were he satisfied that all the wires he laid during the past month were not rusting. He has been quietly nursing a legis lative boom for himself, and has suc ceeded in bringing around him a number of clever wire-pullers. Albert was always considered a very smooth politician, but he hurt himself when he had the Fourth avenue street car line taken off Stevens avenue and put down on Fourth avenue beyond Twenty enth street. Of course it helped his property on Fourth avenue,. but it in jured his political chances very much. ** * * C. B. Maben is trimming his sails for the legislature. His great hobby will be passage of reform laws and an act recognizing the People's Political Re form club as a necessary factor in Min neapolis politics. Whether in this act he will incorporate a clause to set aside $1,000 to pay the club's outstanding in : debtedness is not known. He proposes, if elected, to see that the club is stuffed with ail the good things in sight. ** # * Ole Flaten and Jim Meloy, of the Seventh ward, are not going to have the aldermanic fight between themselves this year. J. L. Lunt, an ex-street com missioner of that ward, is already driv ing nails in these two candidates' cof fins. Lunt is a carpenter and can strike the nail every time. He is popular there, and may defeat both these heavy weights for the nomination. FAMILY TROUBLES. They Are Aired Before Judge Hooker in the District Court. The Cole family aired their troubles before Judge Hooker in the divorce court yesterday* Annie B. Cole testi fied that she was married two years ago, when she was sixteen years of age. She accused her husband of kicking her, dragging her out of doors and locking her in a barn. The testimony showed the principal cause of the trouble was that her husband attended dances and invariably left her at home. Ou one occasion he knocked her down and jumped on her. He frequently called her indecent names. He had failed to support her. When she asked him for a nicKel once he swore he would not give her a "d— n cent." Several of Mrs. Cole's relatives corroborated her testimony, and the court took the mat ter under advisement. Mary J. Smith was granted a divorce from her husband, J. R. Smith. It was the old story of the mother-in-law de siring to direct her son in his choice of a wife. The two became acquainted while working in the same store. There was a short engagement of two weeks, a marriage in St. Paul, and that was the of their married life till the ac tion for divorce. The husband went home the night of the marriage and never lived with her at all. Judge Hooker yesterday considered the application of Emma C. Waibridge lor alimony and attorney's fees pend ing her action for divorce. Mrs. Wal bridge alleges in her complaint that her husband was guilty of cruel and inhu man treatment. The husband's an swer sets forth a general denial of the charges, and says they are now living in the same house and eating at the same table, and he believes his wife will withdraw the complaint. After giving botli parties a lecture, the court ordered the husband to pay §25 attor ney's ices. THEY FAIL TO AGREE. The Lumbermen Do Not Adopt the Price List. The laborious and long-drawn-out ar rangements that the lumbermen have been making for a retail price list came to naught at the meeting of the ex change, held yesterday. The matter fell through from the action of the W. P. Clark and H. C. Akeley Lumber companies, the representatives of which refused to sien the agreement. H. W. Backus, chairman of the committee ap pointed to receive signatures to the document, reported that sixteen signatures out of the eighteen re quired could not be secured in time to have the agreement go into effect, as many of the lumbermen were out of the city." He moved that a stay of pro ceedings be taken for a week, and the motion was passed. He also moved that the John Martin Lumber company be dropped from the list as it was not in reality a manufacturing concern. It was also agreed that the retail dealers also be asked to sign the agreement, and the following list was prepared: W. W. Johnson. J. P. Lennon & Co., Paul Blackmail, trustee Pineville Lumber company, J. P. Wilcox, Brooks Bros., and Gardner & Firkins. The latter was stricken off at the request of Mr. Firkins, who was present. He said that his firm did not care to join in the move, as they had customers that had been with them for years, and therefore had no use for such an agreement. This started a discussion in the mat ter, and it was found that there were other firms who would not sign the list. Fred Clarke opposed it. E. W. Backus also was opposed to it on the ground that they would get their prices too high, and outsiders would come in and get their trade. He also stated that wherever the company had put in a large bid Wisconsin parties would come in and undersell, and in the case at hand they would have a good chance to get all of the trade. Capt. O. C. Merriman said that he had always found that such agreements benefited the trade, and therefore fav ored it. Another meeting will be held in a week, when the matter will be again discussed. Abell Restrained. Judge Smith yesterday granted an injunction, restraining justice of the Peace Ace P. Abell from disposing of a lot of cigars seized as the property of James Ehvin. The plaintiff claimed that Justice Abell had entered judg ment against him for $17 after he had told him that there was nothing to sup port the claim, and when it was too late to appeal he had caused an attachment to be issued and a stock of cigars, valued at $75, to be seized. After the parties interested in the action left the court room suits for slander were freely indulged in. The Athletic Club's Lake Resort. The Twin City Athletic club has tak en the hotel at .Lake Calhoun for the summer, and the place will be main tained in strictly first-olass style for the accommodation of the members who de sire to engage in aquatic sports, or may drive to the lake with their ladies. In the meantime, pending the erection of the addition to the club house at 520 Hennepin avenue, to be used as a gym nasium, the restaurant of the club will be at the lake resort. NO FIGURES YET. The "Official" Statistics Are Not at All Official. Special Agent Boudinot, of the census bureau, smiled when he was shown a copy of the Evening Tribune extra, which placed the number of inhabitants of St. Paul at 195,000 and those of Min neapolis at 221,000. "I cannot tell you anything about it," he said to a Globe re porter, "for 1 don't know what the fig ures are. 1 doubt very much if any body does." Supervisor Davenport could not be found, but one of his right-hand men said: "The figures given out by the Tribune were anything but official. I guess I would come about as near knowing what they were as anybody, but I will tell you candidly that 1 have no more idea what the figures are than you have. So far it is all guess work, and the story that Supt. Porter has given permission to the supervisors to give approximate figures is all bosh. Minneapolis hasn't received any such permission, and this office will not give out any figures until they come from Washington." Special Agent Kruse, of the census department, who was sent from Wash ington to assist Inspector Boudinot in investigating the methods of taking and compiling the census in Minneapolis, arrived yesterday and paid an official visit to Supervisor Davenport. Maj, Kruse was as uncommunicative to the re porters as his colleague, Col. Boudinot. He said that he had been sent to Minne apolis upon government business, and his first report would have to be made to Washington. While he would be glad to give any information to the report ers, he was bound by his oath of office to make his reports directly to head quarters, and therefore he must decline to be interviewed. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. W. C. La Grave Receives a Bullet in His Neck From a Revolver. What may prove to be a fatal case of shooting occurred last evening at about 8:30 in Lawrence & Smith's sporting goods store on First avenue south just below Third street. The wounded man is W. C. La Grave, a young man about twenty-three years old, who had recently become an employe of the firm. The shooting was purely acci dental. O. W. Smith, one of the pro prietors, was showing La« Grave how to work a 38-caliber revolver, which he did not know was loaded. The bullet struck La Grave in the neck just below the right jaw, taking, according to La Grave's description, a course up ward and backward. Its location has not yet oeen determined. As soon as the shooting occurred. Drs. Freeman, Phillips and Bvrnes arrived, and shortly after Dr. Kimball came. They stopped the flow of blood, and searched for the bullet unavailingly. A small artery in the neck was severed. The young man was afterward removed to the home of his father, 807 Eighth street south. His wound is not neces sarily fatal, although it is possible that it may so result. The young man's brother, who is a compositor on the Tribune, was with him within a few minutes after he was shot. O. W. Smith, in whoss hands the pistol was when it was discharged, feels very bad over the matter. Regarding the circumstances he said: "La Grave had been working for us but a few days. To-night he said he would go out to the lake to-mor row, and wanted a revolver to take with him. I gave him first a 82-caliber, and he tried to put some 38-cartridges into it. I told him of his mistake, gave him a 38-revolver, put in a cartridge for him and hadded it to him open. He closed it and handed it back with the remark, "How does it work?" I never thought for a moment that he hadn't removed the cartridge ana began pull ing the trigger. Of course that loaded chamber came around in a moment and the revolver went off. La Grave was standing on my left and received the bullet in the right sidtTW the neck." No blame whatever can attach to Mr. Smith in the matter. He knew not that there was a cartridge in the revolver,, supposing that La Grave had removed it before handing it back. DISTRICT (COURT BRIEFS. Hans Helmer Johnson and James Christian Johnson, brothers, were yes terday allowed to change their names to Ockwig. A writ of attachment was yesterday filed in the clerk's office by L. J. Mc- Cormick for the purpose of recovering $315.55 on two promissory notes given the firm of L. J. and C. H. McCormick. Judge Rea heard the argument for a new trial in the case of Charles H. Albee aerainst The Pioneer Press Com pany. The motion was denied. A complicated case has been brought by Piobert F. Semple against the firm of Henry & Balch, the executors of Frank J. Horan and the firm of Lee & Dickin son. The case involves the title of some ieal estate in Emerson's addition. John Edwards seeks to recover $835 from Benjamin S. Wright. The com plaint alleges that the defendant gave the plaintiff a warranty deed for certain property situated in Baker's Fourth ad dition to Minneapolis upon which were incumbrances, and that the defendant failed to defend the title. The suit brought by the treasurer of the village of Crystal Lake against the treasurer of Hennepln county, asking that a writ of mandamus be issued com manding the treasurer of Henuepin county to pay $387.74 to the treasurer of Crystal Lake, was heard yesterday. This money is the amount paid by the town of Crystal Lake for the support of a pauper. The question is whether the town should pay the money, or the county in which the town is situated. Judge Hooker has overruled the plain tiff's demurrer in the suit of the Soube gan National Bank vs. A. J. Boardman to recover $1,800 on a promissory note. Wanted the Child. " Henri Talcott and wife petitioned Judge Hooker yesterday to allow them to adopt the eight-months-old child of Jenny Healy. Jenny told the court that her husband had gone to Wisconsin some time ago to look for work, and as she had not heard from him she did not think he would return. The mother was perfectly willing that the child should be adopted, but the court was not so sure that Jenny's husband would not return and continued the matter for • three weeks. - \ — _^ v*-__ ■■ Expects. to Remain. r : Frank Deshon, the comedian of the George A. Baker company, was seen last night in regard to a rumor which appeared in an afternoon paper yester day, to the effect that he would leave the Baker company soon. He was very emphatic in his denial of it, and said that his contract was for a year, and < that there had been no trouble of any kind between himself and the manage ment. • j, MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES.

COLONIAL DAMES. • A Woman's Club to Promote Pa - triotism and Conserve Aristoc racy. ■■■ AftM I HE bold state ment that an other woman's society is about to be organized is not particu larly thrilling. As in these days the queens of creation so gen erally become queens of clubs, by reason of their member ship in some as sociation formed to promote so cial, religious, literary, indus trial or artistic aims, and hay- ing thereby vindicated more or less their claim to be consideied clubable creatures, no particular attention is paid to their movements in this direc tion. But when to the announcement that a new club is about to be created there is coupled the intelligence that only women will be eligible whose ancestry is established by heredity— not acquired matrimonially or by purchase, like that of the Colonel in "The Pirates"—inter est is at once quickened, and it becomes fairly rampant when the whole scheme is unfolded, and it appears that every member will have to make her calling and election sure by proving her direct descent from forefathers who emigrated to America prior to the year 1776, and who made his mark upon his time to the extent at least of being "considered worth of esteem and reuown." It is intended that the proposed so ciety shall be among women what the Order of the Cincinnati and the Sons of the Revolution are among men, and it will to a certain extent embody the principles of these societies. The aims of the organization will be "to com memorate the success of our glorious republic, to promote social Intercourse and fellowship among its members now and in all the future, to inspire a gen uine love of country in every heart within its range of influence, to labor to diffuse healthful and intelligent infor mation relating to whatever concerns the past and tends to create popular in terest in the men and events instru mental in providing for us our precious institutions." It will also be an obligation to collect and preserve manuscripts, traditions, relics and mementos of the old times when the colonies were young and the aforesaid ancestors lived and moved and had their being. It will be a sacred duty, devolving upon the members, to teach the younger generations as they Brise to hold in loving remembrance the "brave days of old" and to honor the heroic men whose ability, valor, sufferings and achievements are beyond praise, and should excite the deepest reverence and the liveliest patriotism, "and to promote social intercourse and fellowship among its members." This is the substance of a printed let ter setting forth the scheme of the new society which is being quietly circu lated amone those who are undoubtedly and those who are presumably eligible to stand among the elect who propose to call themselves "The Colonial Dames of America." The names of the originators of this patriotic and aristocratic corporation are not disclosed, but the blank in the "letter" which invites the woman to whom it is subniitted to kindly com municate her willingness to be consid ered as a candidate by the committee of judges is variously filled out by several ladies whose family patronymic figures prominently in the annals of old, very old New York. TRAINED NURSES. They Are Regarded by Physicians as Half the Battle. HE regulation charge of first iclass professional nurses in New York is $2 la week, and they are in demand at that price. The en gagement of a thoroughly trained nurse is consid ered by physicians as half the battle against disease won. The high wages earned lias brought into the profession large num bers of women who have been well bred and delicately reared, but who have been unfortunate in losing their means of support. They are as partic ular in choosing their places of service as patients are in choosing them. In talking with such a nurse a few days ago she said to the New York Press man : "I always want to know that I am going where I will be well treated— that is, not as a servant, but as the peer of any member of the house hold. I feel that I occupy a confidential relation to the household, not second even to that of the family physician. I do not consider any labor that I may be called upon in my capacity as nurse to perform as menial. It is the labor of necessity which many perform through love, but which I undertake as a pro fessional duty." THE MASCULINE GIRL. As a Rule She Does Not Stay Long in Fashion. ERIODICAL !y boyisn fash ions in woman's aress become popular, and the masculine shirt bosom, the most uncompromis ingly ugly part of man's attire, is adopted for a time. Such fash ions do not usu ally last long, because thev are essentially unlovely. The period of the darby hat was so short that it was aban doned by refined women almost as soon as it was introduced. For some reason the present epi demic of masculinity in dress has been unusually violent— probably because it was first fostered upon a refined public by English tailors, by methods which brought undue and valuable prominence to certain London tradesmen. The latest phase of the craze for masculine styles, says the New York Tribune, Is to be noted in the new parasols, mounted upon heavy club sticks like the un wieldy walking canes affected recently by young gentlemen who adopt English styles. Deceptive False Curls. Interview with a St Louis Wigrmaker. Every one must have noticed the num ber of ladies who wear short, curly hair at present. It may astonish you to learn that most of these charming curls are false. Typhoid and other fevers have played havoc with hair this win ter. After such an illness the hair is almost invariably seriously injured, and even if it does not fall out it becomes so dry and harsh that there is nothing to be done but to shave it close, and wait for a new growth. Unless the hair grows very rapidly, it will be two or three months before it is long enough to look well, and in the meantime a wig is a -neces sity. The ; short, curly hair looks more natural than -i a , dressed wig, and is easier to keep in order, so most ladies prefer them. Elderly ladies, however, often use : French twists and pompa dours. Few people know how common wigs are. I have sometimes sold five or six in one day, and a great many ladies say they are sorry when their own hair grows out, as the wig has saved them so much time and trouble. ■' — .. ♦ ' ■ '.•■■■ The fishing at Lake Minuetonka was never better.
