Col. V. D. Walsh has been in the
City a day or two looking after his
vast real estate interests here. He re-
sides at Bayou Sara, 160 miles north of
New Orleans. He is one of the largest
growers of cotton and rice there Is In
the Gulf. state. The colonel is well up
in years, but still active in body and
alert in mind. He makes annual visits
here, and when he does so is always
a guest 'of his old * friend, William
Dawson Sr., and at Mr. Dawson's
home aGI o b c man found the colonel
last evening.
After modestly disclaiming any idea
that he might interest the public, he
said: -*7*'
"I have been at . Waukesha for six
weeks. I find it a deligntful and rest
ful retreat. I have been visiting it
regularly nearly twenty years.
"Louisiana, in common with the
country generally, Is sharing in the
good crops that prevail. Our corn
crop is an unusually large one, way
above the average, and there is an In-
creased acreage. The cotton crop Is
also an * excellent one, especially so
where it has been properly handled.
There Is a tendency to carelessness in
cultivation, and such growers do not
have so good crops. What especially-
pleases "us Is an advance of a cent and
one-half a pound over last year. Rice
was very plentiful last year and the
outlook is exceedingly good. Each
year's rice crop in Louisiana is larger
than the one preceding. Sugar cane is
abundant, as it always is. I am not
bo closely interested in sugar, having
quit producing it in 18S8."
"Well, Louisiana certainly has much
cause for congratulation," interrupted
the inquirer.
"It has, indeed, and I must not go
on telling you of its advantages, as I
am as much interested in Minnesota as
I am in Louisiana, and do not care to
encourage emigration southward."
"What of politics down there?"
"Our. sugar producers have been
* quite restive, and a very large number
of them will ally themselves with the
Republican party. It will be no sur
prise to me if my state should give its
electoral vote to the Republican can-
didate. But I am no politician, and
may be mistaken."
"Whom do the Democrats of your
state want for the Democratic nomi-
nee for president?"
"Can't speak but for myself. I should
prefer Cleveland. He is now the saf
est man for president this country
possess. Vice President Stevenson
stands strongly with the rank and file
of the party. But, as I said, I am no
politician."
"How do you find St. Paul?
"Well, as you people well know,
has been a very great shrinkage In
real estate values in the last three to
five years here. But I believe proper
ty will advance now. But the reac
tion-Will be slow. " To use' a planter's
expression, 'you can tear down the
house much quicker than you can
build it.' But with the great North-
western grain crop there is, and the
general thrift manifest, I look for
much ? commercial activity, and a de-
cided advance in business interests in
the next five years."
SILENT DEVOTIONAL. EXERCISES.
The Annual Retreat of Catholic
Priests Being- Held at St. Thor
n * Seminary.
The annual retreat of the Catholic
/riests in the St. Paul diocese was be-
gun at St. Thomas' seminary last night
under the direction of Archbishop Ire-
land.. About- 180. priests are in attend-
ance. There are about forty more
priests in the diocese who are unable
to be present on account of sickness
or for other reasons. , *: - ;- ;
The object of a retreat Is to bring
all the priests together for a week of
spiritual meditation and prayer. They
do not "indulge in any pleasantries,
such as light or jovial conversation,
during this period, but give themselves
up wholly to devotional thought and
spiritual exercises, the time being spent
in silence. The bishop of the diocese
in which the retreat is held gives lee-
tures and directs the meditations.
For such a gathering it would be
hard to imagine a more choice spot
than that oh which the seminary is
located. Overlooking the Father of
Waters and isolated from all the bus-
tle and turmoil of life, it is the ideal
place for one bent on holy thought to
spend a week. Besides, accommoda
tions for such gatherings are superb,
which may be understood when it is
known that notwithstanding the num
ber of priests in attendance at the re-
treat the accommodations are exten
sive enough so that most of them have
two rooms each.
Bishop McGolrick, of the Duluth .
diocese, is present at the retreat with
about twenty of his priests. Among
the other leading Catholic clergy pres
ent are Archbishop Grace, Mgr. Ra-
voux and Father Buh, the well-known
priest who is so popular in the Zenith
City. Some of the priests in attend-
ance have been residents of the state
since the first Catholic church was
built within its borders. Following
are the names of all 'the priests pres-

PEPPERS SUNNY SOUTH
Gives * a Very Creditable Enter-
; tainment nt Aurora*; Parle."*?*' *, .<
; The temperature was' hardly of the
sunny South variety at Aurora ?. park :
last night, where several hundred- peo- j
pie gathered to witness' Col. Pepper's :
colored performers dance around a
cake and hear them sing those ; old
plantation songes which- they know
so well. But a chilly atmosphere can-
not depress nor repress the joysome
spirit of 'the Afro-American, nor did
it last night check the' reslbilities of :
the audience that filled the grand
stand. 77 -: 77.'' ---•"'■• ' *
The programme was varied, for the
colored man is versatile — in his way.
The colored boy is not slow either. A
dozen. or more of pickaninnies, some
of them fairly hidden from view be-
hind and under base trumpets big
enough to swallow the whole band of
them—tooted away at various instru
ments and turned out some pretty big
music for such little fellows. The
"Washington Post" and "High School
Cadets" marches were bagatelles to
them. _ - . X: . :*w.-.";
The adult portion of Col. Pepper's
aggregation comprises about a dozen
colored gentlemen of diversified tal
ents. Some can sing sentimental bal-
lads like "The Fatal Wedding," some
can do funny turns and every one of
them can shake his feet, especially
around a big fat frosted cake with a
five dollar gold piece imbedded in the
middle of it,, for the man who could
execute the most fantastic steps. All
this was done last night and more too.
but the cake dance which wound up
. the performance was the "piece de re-
sistance" of the evening. y.AAy..\.
Messrs. Glvens and Robb entertained
the assemblage with a characteristic
version of the "Alabama Coon." B.
F. Beimbrin and Harry Brown sang
popular ballads, the Magnolia quartet
recalled visions of the "Old Kentucky
Home;" Brown' and Gillam contribu-
ted some "lightning sketches" en-
titled "Artist and Pupil" and Master
Willie Porter did a neat little-; turn
called "The Colored Aristocrat."
Th? show will run all the week, but
matinees will be omitted, for the sun-
light at Aurora park Is for the ex-
elusive benefit of the St. Paul base ball
team, and possibly might not har
monize with the character of the pres
ent entertainment. ? 777- *

HE HAS GONE EAST.
The Probable Outcome Hey Be a
j t-i73-RiS*. Manufactory Here.
H. N. Molloy, Inventor and builder
of the Cold Wave storage refrigera-
tors, went East last night on a busi-
ness trip. Boston is his destination,
and it is not unlikely that when he
returns he will establish in St. Paul a
manufactory to put his invention on
the market in large numbers. To a
Globe reporter Mr. Molloy said he
was simply going East to build a big
refrigerator, such as he put in for the
Schlitz Brewing company in this city
and Minneapolis; but from another
source it was learned that on the sue-
cess of this venture will hinge the in-
vestment by Boston capitalists of
money to place Molloy' s patent before
the public in a way to command at-
tention. The Cold Wave box has al-
ready been described in the Globe,
and If a factory shall be established
for its manufacture St. Paul will num
ber it among its Industries.

The beautiful weather enabled the

August Auge, the young man who

lies at the city hospital in a precarious
condition. He received three scalp
wounds, one of them extensive and
serious. His left arm was broken be-
low the elboW. Under the right arm
he displayed a long incised wound
in the side. The cut was apparently
made by a sliver of wood. : When ad-

scious, and he remained so during al-
most the entire day. His recovery is
uncertain.

DEBS WOULD SCORN A PARDON.
Writes a Letter to the Depart-
ment" of Justice.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 19.—
Railway Times, the organ of the
American Railway union, in the cur-
rent number gives to the public the
correspondence between President
Debs and the department of justice in
regard to the application for a pardon
which was filed in the department by
a labor union of Philadelphia without
the knowledge of Debs or his associ
ates, who are serving the sentence im-
posed by Judge Woods in the Wood-
stock jail. Some of the Times' com-
ments are lurid in vituperation. : --7-*,';*
The first Debs knew of the ap-
plication for a pardon was a notice
from the department of justice that as
ex-District Attorney Mllchrist had re-
ported unfavorably on the application
it would not be granted. Then Debs
wrote to the department to ask where
the application' came from and to Mil- -
christ to tell him that ne nad not asked
for a. pardon. *-
*In the letter to the department of
justice asking for the names of the
persons who made the application
Debs says: "It was an utter sur-
prise, as we had not thought of asking
for a pardon.. The department of jus-
tice refused us justice and we scorn
its mercy. I speak for all my col-
leagues as well as myself when I say
we would rather rot in jail than enjoy
our freedom by the clemency of those
who sentenced us." 1.7. r '."
The pardon clerk sent the names of
the applicants, and Debs to this re-
plied that he and his associates "de-
sired no pardon, because they had
committed no crime, and had not been
tried br convicted. We are entitled to
our liberty as a matter of right, but
we do not want it on the ground of
mercy." - 777.7

The Mehoning Mine Has Made It a

of Kiiihviij,
Gen. Becker and other railroad
commissioners have returned from
their trip of inspection over the Du
luth,Mississippi & Northwestern rail
road, and are much pleased over
what they have seen on their jour
ney. Gen. Becker was seen by a
Globe reporter last evening and
talked in an interesting manner on
the subject, his story demonstrating
again what can be done and what
is possible in the great state of Min
nesota. He said:
"This railroad was originally built
by a man named Wright, who is the
head of a Saginaw lumber firm. It is
forty miles long. These parties had
purchased a large tract of pine lands
and built the road for no other purpose
than to bring their logs from the lands
to the mouth of Swan river and from
there the logs were floated down the
Mississippi to some market. But the
final development seems almost in
creditable. Shortly afterward Mr.
Wright discovered a great iron mine
upon his pine lands near Hlbblng, the
present terminus of the road. It soon
was developed Into a magnificent
property. This mine is of unknown ex
tent. It is said that the ore bed is fully
180 feet thick, but Its extent is not
known. Now they have the largest
steam shovel in the world at work
there and at every lift It brings up and
loads into the cars the great amount
of three tons. This ore is mined at a
cost of three cents a ton and loaded
upon the trains for shipment. * The
company is now shipping 125 cars a
day from this mine alone and the
property has made the owners million
aires. The mine is called the Mehoning
and has developed the railroad from a
logging road to an iron and general
road. The line Is now by law a com
mon carrier in the full sense of the
word and has been opened for general
passenger and freight traffic." .'."7?
GOING ON TO BOSTON.
First Day's Sale in the Low East-
em Rate Now On.
Yesterday was the first day of sale
of the Boston tickets under the
Knights Templar rate and with clock
like regularity all. of the local pas-
senger offices began to do a land office
business in the colored pasteboards.
One fare for the round trip was the
uniform basis of selling and no trouble
is anticipated by local railroad men as
it does not seem creditable that there
can be any further cutting of the rate.
The sales of tickets were quite brisk
all day, indicating a heavy travel for
the conclave at Boston. One feature
developed : during the day which was
: contrary' to the expectations" of the
ticket sellers. The Great Northern
managed to secure at least twenty per
cent of. the passengers for the steam
ship line by way of the lakes. It has
been the prevailing idea among the
local ticket agents that the steamship
lines would not cut a great figure* in
the handling of the Boston business
but lt appeared yesterday that this
was an error and that much North
western travel was going that way.

AUTOMATIC DOCTORS.
You Now Drop a Penny in the Slot
and Get a Prescription.
New York World.
Nickel-in-the-slot machines have
been applied to many novel uses, but
the queerest of all these catch-penny -
contrivances is one that gives you a
prescription if you are sick and need
one. These automatic doctors are of
English origin, and at the present
time may be found on street corners
in many parts of London.- 7:--7;
They are made of wood to the like-
ness of a man, and,, are about half the
size of the American cigar store In-
dian. He is unlike the Bannock In-
dian, however, in that he is full- of
holes. All over the body, head and
limbs of the figure are slots for the
reception of the penny fee -charged
for the prescription, and beneath the
slot is the usual opening, from which
the prescription Issues after the penny
has got in its final work. - *"- """---J
These automatons are the property
of the London Automatic .Prescription:
company, an incorporated" concern
which has among its shareholders not
a few of the foremost physicians in
London. At first a very few of the au
tomatons were put out by way of ex
periment, and the mistake was made of
placing them in the fashionable prom
enades, such as Rotton row. Petticoat
lane and portions of the Strand. Here
the swell chappies whetted their
curiosity for a time by dropping pen
nies in the slots, and then the wooden
physicians got to be a colossal joke.
In a short time, however, the au
tomatons were removed to the White
chapel district, where they met with
a generous patronage from the poorer
classes. Of course, these figures do
not dispense medicines, as there would
be an Insurmountable obstacle in the
law. The prescription given by the
figure for a penny is a good one,
generally prescribing the standard
remedy for ordinary ills, such as tooth
ache, earache, headache, etc. Then
there are antiseptic dressings for cuts
and liniments for bruises, tonic ■ for
the hair and selves for corns and
bunions. In each case the prescription
bears the name and business address
of the apothecary whose shop is near
est to the automaton.
REWARD WORKERS.
They Hunt for Lost Articles for
- Which a Reward Is Offered.
Kansas City Star.
Several days ago' a man lost his dia
mond stud on Ninth street, between
Grand avenue and McGee. . It was a
valuable jewel, and he did not want
to part with* it, therefore he placed an
advertisement in the Star offering a
reward of $50 for its return to him. It
was not more than an hour after the
Star made its appearance that even
ing than the people turned out to find
the diamond stud. Next morning more
than a hundred men, women and chil
dren were engaged in the search.
They were of all grades and condi
tions. The shabby man was very
numerous, and there was also a fair
sprinkling of colored women. Well
dressed men left the sidewalk, attract
ed by the crowd, and poked around
with their sticks. When a newcomer
approached and asked . what the peo
ple were looking for, j he was answered
in a surly way, and every one seemed
suspicious and jealous of his neigh
bor. - *
Two colored women hunted togeth
er and chatted as they worked.
"D'ju know what ahm gwan to do

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Ay_, M. QUAD'S GAS.
: The ■ Monthly Bill for It Nearly
7 Drove Him Into 'Bankruptcy*.
Washington Star.
Not . long ago Nate Elsenlord, busi
ness manager of one of the Denver;
. papers, was .in conversation with a
■ Star writer. At one time Eisenlord
was business manager of the Detroit
Free Press. He told a story about M.
Quad, the -humorist.
"Quad knows less of- business meth
ods," said Eisenlord, "than he does of
what goes on in the planets. There
came an occasion when we were both
at work on the Free Press when Quad
longed to be the proprietor of a house.
He had always lived In a rented one
and put his money In the bank. He
determined all at once to own his vine
and fig tree, and, having • decided to
purchase,* cast about him to find the
proper wigwam. One day he walked
In on me down in the business office of
the paper. . . • _.
" 'Nate,' he said, 'you know that
house you live In?' . ■■-..■••
Slightly,' I replied.
" 'Do you own it yourself?' .
" 'The last bulletin was that I did,' I
said. .
" 'What will you take for it?*
"I gazed at him a moment, and- see
ing that he was in solemn earnest, said
that I would take $7,000 for it.
" 'All . right,' said Quad, 'here's a
check for $500. Draw up the deed and
we'll -arrange for the balance. How
soon can I get into it?
"I told him he could have the house
in thirty days, but suggested that he
had better take the abstract and have
the title looked up.
" 'What do I want to bother about
the title for?' said Quad. 'If the title
will do you it will me. By the way,
is there gas in the house?'
" 'Sure,' I answered. .
" 'That's right,' said Quad. T never
had gas in my house yet and I want
to try it, and see. How much does
the gas cost you?'
" 'About $7 a month.'
" 'Burn all you want?' said Quad.
"I replied In the affirmative. The
next month after Quad took posses
sion the house was remarkable to
friend and . foe as being a glare of
light from cellar to attic. Light
streamed from e\-£ry crack and shone
from every casement all night long.
This brave display of illuminants ex
cited great admiration and no slight
comment. One day Quad, in .a seeth»
ing heat, came to the business office
and inquired:
"'Nate, didn't you tell me you
burned all the gasi you wanted in that
house and that it cost you only $7 a
month?' , .-,- :i.
" 'Certainly, I did, Quad," I an-
swered. 'What's the matter?'
" 'Matter?' grasped Quad. 'Just see
what these Infernal gas robers have
done. Sent me a bill for $138.50 for
last month. You can freely peril your
immortal soul I'll never pay it. These
coal-gas pirates can't swindle me. I
went down to their office and threw
down $7 and told them I knew my bus
iness and to turn their attention to
cheating some one who didn't.'
"The matter never could be explained
to Quad, and, while he no longer burns
gas, he Is still nobly fighting the col
lection of that bill In the Michigan
courts."

NEW TAPWRENCH. "
Philadelphia Times. 7.
Machinists will appreciate this de- I
vice, which has been introduced by
a firm in Pawtucket, R. I. It is said
to be .entirely different from all other
tap wrenches*, as no pin, wire or other
Implement is needed tb tighten its
jaws upon the tap or reamer, the hand
being sufficient to tighten the jaws so
firmly that there Is no loosening of its
grip while tapping or reaming. - * :
The knurled sleeve contains a right
hand thread on the outside of the neck
of the stock and a left-hand thread
on the handle, the two being embraced
by the corresponding interior threads
of the sleeve, a right-hand turn of the
sleeve closing the jaws and a left-hand
turn opening them; and the handle's
moving without any rotary motion
does away with all tendency to un-
screw while at work. The large diam
eters on which the* threads may be cut
dn this design allow of using threads
coarse enough to produce quick move-
ments of the jaw, while the* angle of
the threads is so small that sufficient
power Is obtained by the hand to get
a strong enough grip to prevent fell
loosening while at work.
