Thompson, .will appear in the cast, and, in addition, the company lias been augmented by the engagement of some decidedly clever people.

Alex GodDow, of 8822 Minnehaha avenue, died of apoplexy yesterday morning. He •was fifty years of ace. and leaves a wife aud one son. " in Wednesday's parade he was dressed as Uncle Sam in the Northwestern Consolidated Milling company's float. The police court docket was a light one yesterday, showing thai the people were very quiet and orderly Wednesday. There ■were thirteen cases before Judge Elliott, drunks, vagrants and disorderlies for the most part, and none of them important. The Powder Horn park assessors began work Monday morning, and have got one block each way from the park. It will take about a month" for them to divide equitably among all the interested property holders the assessment that is to pay for the park en largement. DThe farmers are going to organize, and have quietly issued a call for a meeting at Labor Temple, Minneapolis. Wednesday, Sept. 30. at 10:: a. m. Farmers from all over the state are bidden to attend this meeting, while the representatives of the various labor organizations are also invited to join. An alarm from box 252 at the Washburn B mill sent the whole lire department rushing down to the milling district yesterday morn- Ing. A barrel chute leading Into the Hum boldt mill and running under the railroad tracks on Second street had caught fire from red-hot cinders dropped from a locomotive. \V. Greenstein was fined 550 yesterday for Belling adulterated milk. He pleaded not guilty, but couldn't make his plea good.

Minneapolis has resumed her normal appearance of every-ilay life, and noth ing remains of the great parade of Wednesday except the pleasant memo ries of the occasion and the decorations, which as yet have been but partially removed. One spectator of a mathe matical turn of mind kept tab on the. procession, and his figures are both In teresting and valuable. According to his statement there were 24 bands of music. 013 floats, 30 pieces of fire depart ment apparatus drawn by 110 horses, 16 carriages and 47G persons on horseback. In all there were about :2,r>00 men in the parade, besides several hundred ladies The band contest proved to be very unsatisfactory to at least two of the bands. Duluth and St. Cloud both claim that they were not given a fair show, the former in particular being dissatis fied with the decision. Xo formal pro test, however, has been lodged with the committee, so the matter will probably be allowed to drop where it is. One per son was so dissatisfied that he wished to Ret up a contest between the Jordan band and Duluth and offered to bet $500 on the latter, but the Jordan boys would have none of it. The successful manner in which the whole procession passed off was a source of much congratulation to the commit tee, and the members feel justly elated that their efforts were crowned with such a gratifying result. Yesterday nothing but praises were heard ou all sides, and it is doubtful if twice the time had been given to getting it up whether the affair could have- been im proved. Unfortunately, several magnificent floats never even entered the line of inarch, owing to unfqrseen accidents. The float of the job printers of the city, upon which over §500 had been expend ed, was forced to drop out inside the first six blocks owing to si tire coming off and the wheel falling to pieces. For the same reason the tasty float of the egg macaroni extiibit was not Been. AY hen the head of the procession ar rived at Mayor Winston's residence on Park avenoe the 300 soldiers and musi cians from Ft. Snelling, and the Mexi can band dropped out, and were served with light refreshments by Mrs. Wins ton. The ladies from the fort were also there, and they all viewed the parade from seats erected by the host on his lawn. 1 It is desired by the heads of all com mittees that parties havins bills will present them as soon as possible. Each committee will audit its own bills, and as soon as they are passed upon they will be paid. It is hoped that every bill will be presented and paid before Monday next. One fact upon which the committee Is to be particularly congratulated is that so complete and thorough were ail arrangements and precautions that not a single accident happened to mar the pleasures of the day. J. C. McN'aughton Dead. J. C. McNaughton died very suddenly early yesterday morning at his resi dence, 729 East Eighteenth street. He was secretary of the Minnehaha Driv ing Park association. Secretary Mc- Naugnton was taken sick Sunday even- Ing last, but nothing serious was antici pated. The illness, however, developed into inflammation of the bowels and trouble with the bladder. Mr. Mc- Naughton was a fine, healthy looking man and the fatal termination of his sickness was quite unexpected. The funeral will take place to-day at 2 p. iv. Skeletons Scared Her. A very odd insanity case made its appearance in the probate court yester day, when Inga Peterson was arraigned. While at the exposition a short time ago she looked at the skeletons of the ciilf dwellers and a few hours later her mind turned. She now imagines that in forty weeks she will become the mother of twin skeletons. Thomas Anderson, another unfortunate, was also committed. BUT TWO DAYS MORE. The Exposition Getting Ready to Close fop This Season. Mrs. William Young? Grieving 1 Over Her Arrest and Im prisonment. The Lost Art of Hardening Copper Found by Peter Johnson. William H. Eustis After the Republican National Con vention Now. To be a success an exposition must have the patronage of the people, and it must cater to their wishes in regard to the class and character of the attrac tions which the public is asked to in spect and patronize. The exhibits must be pleasing and instructing or they will not take the trouble of coming the sec ond time. That the Exposition which lias been in progress in this city for the Dast month, and the doors of which will be closed on the coining Saturday, has been a success cannot be doubted, as the immense crowds which have gath ered every day to .see the various things of interest in the big building have amply testified to their complete ap proval. Not only have the people of Minneapolis been to the Exposition, but the people of the whole Northwest have been to tins city for the purpose of see ing the magnificent array of attractions which have been gathered together by weeks and months or patient toil by the Exposition management. No one can say that it has not been a complete suc cess. To-day is "babies' day" at the Expo sition, and there will .bo some lively times in the building before the affair is over. There have been over sixty en tries for the show already, eight of the entries being sets of twins. All are guaranteed to be the possessors of ex cellent lungs, and some very fine vocal selections are promised. The show will be held in the afternoon between the hours of 8 ana 5, and in the evening be tween the hours of 7 and D. The Expo sition management will give away over 5200 in prizes. To-night the members of the Masonic quartette will render a number of vocal selections from the band stand. To-morrow will be children's day, and one of the pretty little Shetland ponies will be given away. '' To-night the members of the Minne apolis Choral union will give another of their enjoyable concerts In the Exposi tion building, assisted by the Mexican band. Saturday, a children's chorus will be given in the afternoon and in the evening. There was a big crowd 'in the Exposi tion building yesterday afternoon and in the evening, and the prospects are excellent for a repetition of the crowd to-day. To-night is the last occasion ot the giving of the great outdoor specta cle, "the Siege of Vera Cruz, unless postponement should be necessary on account of the weather. There wi-11 be only two more days for you to go to the Exposition building, and hear the celebrated Mexican band. The members of this organization will leave for Sioux City, 10., where they will play at the corn palace, which open's Oct. 1. Saturday will be the largest day of the season, if the prospect* are made good. Every one will want to come and see the exposition on the day of the closing, because there will not be a chance to see another one for an in definite period. There is some talk of having the Exposition next year, but there has as yet been nothing done in an official manner, neither has It been discussed at length by those who are interested in the success of the enter prise. It is estimated that there have been nearly a half million people in the Ex position building this season, a record never beaten in the history of the en terprise. SHE IS VERY SAD. Mrs. Young Grieving Over Her Arrest and Imprisonment. Mrs. Marie or Henrietta Young, who was indicted by the last grand jury, charged with concealing stolen prop erty, still occupies a cell at the county jail. She is the wife of William Young, who with J. H. ltiley will be tried for several burglaries which they are charged with having committed during the summer. Mrs. You ne is possessed of a petite form, dark hair and snapping black eyes, and speaks with a slight foreign accent. She claims to be at a complete loss for her arrest and says it is spite work, but has no idea who wished to vent their spite by placing her behind the bars. Her meeting with her hus band and marriage makes an interesting chapter in a somewhat varied life. Two years ago, at a private party, she met Young, who was then following his occupation of shoemaker. It was a case of love at first sight. To see each other was to love, and to love was to get married, which they did the day after the evening they met at the party. Mrs. Young is confident she will be ac quitted, but thinks her husband will have a pull through without being sent over the road for a term of years. A GREAT DISCOVERY. The Ijost Art of Hardening Copper Found by Peter Johnson. Peter Johnson, a resident of Dassel, Minn., claims he has discovered the long lost secretof hardening copper. The art was well known to the pre-historic races, but although many attempts have been made to discover the process all have been noted by their failures. Mr. Johnson has made his secret known to Nils Nilson, a ma chinist, and they propose to erect a factory in this city lor the manufacture of many articles that are now made of steel. It is claimed by the inventor that by his process he can make copper as hard as tho finest-tempered steel, and that it will be more durable and much cheaper. About 1,000 men will be employed in the new industry. IN EARNEST NOW. William H. Eustis Says the Con- vention Must Be Secured. The men who do "the hustling for Minneapolis have done so well with the harvest festival in a short time that they deem notliiug impossible now. Having unloaded that cargo they in tend to get the Republicanjcouvention now. So says William Henry Eustis. He worked for the harvest festival, and his heart is in the convention idea. If his hope be well grounded all Minneapolis has to do is to ask for the convention and get it. The committee on securing subscrip tions to the guaranty fund of $50,000 has been working under cover of dark ness it seems, while the general pub lic supposed that the members of that committee were doing nothing, having given up all thought of getting the requisite number of subscriptions. Mr. Eastis says that the committee has been hustling all the time, and that it has raised nearly all the money that will be needed. Said he yesterday aft ernoon: ••We have actually raised $35,000 on the guarantee fund, and by Saturday night 1 expect that we will have the full $50,000 subscribed. We made up our minds that we would not make any at tempt to secure the convention unless THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FEIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1801. we could raise $50,000, although not a third of that amount will prooably be called fdr. The harvest festival was a huge success. It was the grandest peace parade in the history of modern times. Now let us go to work on tlie conven tion in the same manner and with the same push and energy, and we will land her, without a doubt. Minneapolis never made a failure of anything, and she will not make a failure of this." Mr. Eustis says that between 300,000 and 400,000 people were entertained :n Minneapolis on the day of the festival, which conclusively proves that Minne apolis can take care of a national con vention, if the committee get the money required by to-night it will devote all its remaining energies to the cultivation of the cood will ot" the members of the national committee. Eustis thinks that holding the convention here will make the Northwest solidly Republican. HOXORIXG THE BRAVES. ammany Men Dedicate a Monu- ni "it i at Gettysburg. GETTYSBURG, Pa., Sept. 24. — The Tammany braves to-day dedicated the monument they have erected on this battlefield to mark the position held by the Forty-second New York infantry, which was recruited and sent out by the Wigwam, when the civil war cloud burst in 1861. The monument was un veiled by James E. Mallon, son of Col. James K. Mallon, commanding the For ty-second regiment MaJ. <Jen. Daniel E. Sickles, U. S. A., delivered the ora tion, and presented the monument to the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial association. Hon. Edward McPheison received it in the name of that body. "The Patriotic Dead," an original poem to the i ammany regiment, composed by William (Jeoghegan, was read by F. F. Mackey, the actor. Short addresses were delivered by Col. John K. Fellows, an ex-oflicet in the Confederate army; Gen. Martin T. McMalion, Gen. Ely 8. Parker. Barlow S. Weeks, Capt. J. M. Ellendorff and Capt. James Casey. CONTRACT IMMIGRANTS. Many Such Are Now Being Im ported. New York, Sept. 24.— Four immi grants arrived here on the steamer Nor mannia. are found to be under contract to work in Thomas coal mines, in West Virginia. They will be sent back. An Italian imuiigrant who arrived on the steamship La Champagne, when ques tioned, said be had lived here live years and showed naturalization papers. When cross-questioned, however, he could not explain how it was he could not speak a woid of English and finally admitted that he had never been here before, and that he had bought the naturalization papers in Havre. He ad mitted that lie was under con tract to work for the Cheapin Iron Mining com pany, Iron Mountain. Mich. A few minutes later there was found another case precisely similar, the second being also under contract to the iron company. Both will be sent back. HLUIiS HUMANS OUT. Peculiar Features of a Cave at Rockwood, Col. Denver Sun. There is a cave near Rockwood, a station on the Denver & llio Grande railroad, which has been visited by many persons living near, as well as by parties from Durango. No particu lar mention of the cave has been made, as it seemed to be little worthy of notice —nothing unique or striking. On Sundey last a number of pleasure seekers left this city to join a party at Rockwood, who had planned to visit the cave. Abont four o'clock in the after noon the members of the party, having disposed of their dinner, began to climb the hill, near the top of" which the mouth of the cave is located. After much exertion the foremost of the party reached the mouth ot the cave, and, being in advance of his compan ions, they were much startled to see him fall backward in the low oak brush as if he had « been thrown a catapult. Ills companions, pushing forward more vigorously, soon came to his rescue and found him recovering from his tumble, not much hurt, but slightly scratched and somewhat dazed, lie could give no explanation of his sudden removal from the opening to the cavern. Curious to know what the cause was, the entire company in a body pushed up the hill, which has a particularly steep descent near the mouth of the cave. To the astonishment of the whole number, the instant after stepping into the cave they found themselves all piled together in a spot near where the first had landed. It took but a little while to recover from the entanglement, when they be gan to inquire the cause ot this sudden excitement. They all aereed that they had seen nothing to cause such a thine, and they were curious to know the rea son for the phenomenon. But how to find out what they wished was the thing to decide. At last it was determined that the strongest gentleman of the party should gain a position at the side of the en trance, and thus protected, get an op portunity to reconnoiter. So, taking a circuitous route and avoiding a posi tion directly in front of the opening, they soon found themselves close be side the entrance. Cautiously putting his head out beyondthe protecting wall, the foremost peered in. His hat imme diately took flight down tho declivity, but he was thus made aware of the ex act state of affairs. The philosophy ot the current of air in caves suddenly dawned upon him. As is well known, the air on a warm day in summer if> much lighter on the outside of a cave or cellar than it is in side. Consequently, the cold, heavy air rushes out with great violence— enough In this case to cause the trouble spoken of and throw the party down the hill. Later, relating this tale, an old-timer told your correspondent of a former ad venture of his at the same place. On a cold day in the early winter he was tracking a deer along this hillside when he was astonished to see the cave open up before him, and he noticed that the snow seemed to have been disturbed very recently, as though a body had been dragged into the entrance. Without thinking he stepped forward to examine into the cause of the dis turbed condition of the snow, when he felt himself violently pulled into the cave, the force pulling him from his feet» He felt a shock, and for a while was oblivious to all around him. When his senses returned he found he was lying by and partially upon the body of a deer. Upon examination he found the body of the deer yet warm. This fed to a closer examination still. He at last determined that the force of the current of air blowing into the cave had drawn the deer in, killing it, but that when he was drawn in the shock was somewhat obviated by his striking the deer, thus saving him from death. The explanation Is just the reverse of the other, the air being warmer inside of the cave than out. The current flows into the cave during the winter, thus accounting for the strange affair. COFFEE DRUNKARDS. Their Fate Worse Than the Liquor and as Bad as a Morphine Fiend. In the course of his studies Dr. Men del found very few instances in which the confirmed coffee drunkard was ever cured. The symptoms constantly grow worse, and are only to be relieved by large quantities of the beverage, the abuse of which has caused them. In this way the victims go from bad to worse, for. though well aware of the mischief being wrought, they suffer so severely that they are afraid to abandon the habit, lest death should end the agony they experience. After begiuniug with the agreeable infusion of the roasted berries they are driven, in their search for something more powerful, to swallow the tincture, which, though it operates for a time In the direction desired, soon loses its efficacy, and has to be swallowed In greater aud greater quantities, the evil influence of the coffee beiu£. of course. heightened by the alcohol . use.d to ex tract its essential ingredients" - v '-,:• Whenbraudy is taken only temporary ' relief follows, thouzh -■ not infmiuentl y the intoxication produced by the latter • is eagerly welcomed in order to dead en the anguish caused by the ".: inordinate indulgence in the former. The last stage of this peculiar disease shows itself in the sallow face and chilly hands and feet of the victims, coupled with an expression of dread and agony ■ which settles over the countenance— a : form of melancholia, alternated by. hys teria, only to be temporarily relieved by' repeated application to the coffee pot or to a strong tincture formed by steeping the crushed berries in spirits of wine. »,.'.: Meantime the diseased state of the body is demonstrated by the acute in-; flammation which is apt to supervene at any moment. A bruise, a cut, a prick or a sting, which in a healthy person would be scarcely noticed, is the starting point for inflammation of an erysipelatous character, so that it seldom happens that the coffee inebriate is long lived. Coffee drunkards are more common among people of a nervous temperament than in the ranks of the stolid, phleg matic folks, not easily moved by any stimulus, or who, like many Germans, prefer eating to drinking. i^» A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. A Night Struggle and Narrow Es cape From Two Raving Mad men. New York Recorder. About twenty years ago a fearful crime was committed at C- — a small town near Boston. The wife ot a farm er named Dillon and her children were cruelly butchered by a madman. The murderer, however, escaped, aud, though well known in the locality, the police and citizens failed to discover his hiding place. It was said that the terrible loss Dillon had sustained was driving him insane. He used to go from house to house searching for Cal lagan, the madman, and vowing an awful vengeance. It was about a month after the:mur. tiers. I was sitting by my fireside lis tening to the. wind howling outside when 1 was aroused by a low, quick knock at the front door. Opening it 1 beheld standing on the steps a half naked, shivering creature. Pushing me aside lie crept toward the tire. First, however, he closed the door, and gazed searchiugly around the room. 1 at once recognized Dan Callagan. . As 1 watched him he made a sudden spring from the tire and grasped me by the throat. 1 felt my breath leaving me as 1 was dashed against the wall. 1 fell to the floor nearly dead. 1 must have remained unconscious for some time. The first sitht that met my opening eyes is one that 1 can never forget. In the middle of the room stood two fig uref, their hands grasping each other's throats, their eyes leaping madly in their heads! A fearful wound on one of theii bodies and a dagger lying close by told of a fearful struggle. Two madmen — Callagan and the father of the murdered .children! A wild laugh resounded through the room, and then 1 saw the head of Callagan iro crashing into the face of his antagonist. Dillon fell to the floor instantly, and the next moment the dagger was burled deep in his breast. 1 quickly stood up and was about to interpose when the madman rushed upon me with the bloody dagger raised above his head ready to strike. 1 had no means of de fending myself, nor was there any ap parent chance of escape. Hut I moved out of his way and eluded the blows he aimed at me for v short time. Sud denly 1 stumbled over something and fell through the window (which must have been broken by Dillon) into the street. 1 heard the door opening, and, on get ting to the sidewalk, 1 saw the mad man come leaping uown the steps. 1 made hastily for the next street, the murderer after me. Seeing a door open, 1 rushed into a hallway and got into a yard. For a moment I considered whether 1 could hold the door closed against him, but seeing a garden in the rear, which rose as high as the first story, and which was accessible by a row of stone steps projecting out of the masonry, I let go the door-knob. It did not take me long to gain the top, but the madman was close at my heels. Just then a terrible idea came into my brain. 1 waited for the mur derer at the top, and. as he was about to spring into the garden, I quickly shoved him into the yard. He fell ou his head, breaking his neck. As he lay there dying his fearful cries awoke the people in the house, and I can never forget the awlul scene to the end of my life. TURKEY PECULIARITIES. Restless and Betraying Their Wild Origin in Every Way. Boston Transcript. Turkeys are restless creatures, but free-spirited and cheerful in their way. The young ones run most of the time, bending their heads toward the ground, piping plaintively and monotonously, with a rising inflection, and "nailing" flies with astonishing swiftness and precision. All their habits tell the story of their comparatively recent domestication. Although they may become very tame, as a lion's cub may, they have a great deal of the savage in them still. They range lons distances away from the farm house, and get mixed up with the neighbors' turkeys. They hunt as long as they can see at night," and then are fain to roost in the trees rather than in the hen house. The farmer always says a turkey is the biggest fool that the Lord ever made, and declares that the goose is wisdom Itselt in comparison. The turkey is no dou bt foolish, speak ing in terms of civilization, but she un derstands the turkey business very well for all that. She has not yet so completely adapted herself to the ways of human beings as the hen and the goose have; and that is the whole story of her fooiishness. Perhaps she has her own idea of the wisdom of these other highly domesticated fowls. Catholic Congress Closed. Buffalo, N. V., Sept. 24.— The Ger man Catholic congress came to a close to-day. High mass was . celebrated at St. Louis church by Bishop Zardetti, at which Gounod's beautiful mass was sung in its entirety. At 10 a. in. the ! . clerical union held its final session.
