One gentleman was led by his Tears to request President Northrop ko speak a few words of counsel to his rhnrgvs and dissuade them from any *nmremplated "josh" on the boy orator. In response to this request. President £<orthvop did speak a few words to the jptudents at chapel this morning, but ac companied his few words of fatherly Jadviee by a distinct apology for thus fcddresalhg them. He said that he had too much confidence in the students to imagine for a moment that they would be guilty of any such ungentlemanly behavior, and gave them a word of 'caution only because, of the request jhiade to him. The enthusiastic recapt ion aivorded to Mr. Levering at his recem visit to the university, and the attentive respect paid by the students to his short talk in chapel, induced him to believe that the students would act like gentlemen towards the Candida :es ol any party who might visit Minne taelfa. Vim Sant In the Mill City. Capt. S. K. Van Sant, of Winona, was in the city today, and yesterday called upon his .friends of the Union Veteran league. He is hard at work in the campaign and has spoken four nights of the present week in -Southern Minnesota. La Crescent. Spring Grove. Cale donia and Spring Valley have each turned out «. good audience to hear Republican princi ples discussed, and last evening he spoke at J-e Sueur. Capt. Van Sant is billed to speak Jn the Righth ward of this city during ihe coming week, probably Thursday night, and lie wiil give the boys a rousing address. Hit* Death MjMertona. A man about 52 years old and known as fThonia.-. Huffy died last evening about 11 o'clock under somewhat peculiar circum ■tances at the London house. 117 First avenue riorth. A little previous to that time he .was taken with a severe fit of vomiting. All at once in the middle of the violent exer tion he dropped to the floor, groaning. The people of the house rushed to his aid, but Jn a short time he expired, presumably hav ing burst a blood vessel In his head from xh» exertion. Nothing particular was known of him at the house, except that he had roomed there off and on for the last two years. Ho was known to be single and sup posed to have relatives in the city. His last stay was of but two days' duration. The body was removed to the morgue and a post hiortem examination will be held today. £*t* >*nliiriillzed or Yon Can't Vote.

The One for the !.n<H*-« Will lie Sometliliiff I 11 1 <i ve — New* of Min neapoliM. People began gathering before 6 j o'clock last evening at the union depot to catch a glimpse of Candidate Will ! lam J. Bryan. The special train bear j ing the much talked of nominee was ; scheduled to arrive here over the Great i Northern at 6:30 from Fargo, N. D. ! However, It was a few minutes late ; and by the time the train pulled into I the depot at least 2,000 people pushed and jostled one another to make their ; way to the train. Engine 131 was profusely decorated with bunting of national colors, which, ; however, showed the effects of the i rain. Besides the locomotive, the train j consisted of a coach and Mr. Bryan's : sleeping car. the St. Hllaire. His own car had been left In South Dakota, as i connections between the Northwestern and the Great Northern could not be j made. Many people had made their way into • the depot by entering from the north j tside along the tracks and when the i gatemen saw this they allowed the crowd in the waiting room to pass through the gates. Loud cheers went | up as the train pulled in and this con> 1 tinued for at least two minutes. The i candidate appeared on the rear plat ! form of his car, smiling, and apperent jly In the best of health. He raised his ! hands for the people to keep silence \ and when the noise had subsided said: ! "Gentlemen, you wil lhave a chance to 1 hear me on Monday night and it is not necessary now for me to occupy your i time." The crowd resumed its cheer -1 ing and loud calls for a speech were | made. Mr. Bryan continued: "You seem to be enthusiastic enough now." ; Cries of "You bet we are." "It will be 1 all right if you keep it up until Novem- j ber," said the candidate. This was fol- | lowed by cries of "You bet we will," j ! and "He's all right." 'Who's all ; right?" "Bryan." The candidate then retired into his ■ car after being nearly pushed off the j car by fhe surging crowd which climbed upon the platform and almost \ over the car in order to shake hands j with him. The crowd caught a glimpse \ i of him inside and flocked about the | window and continued cheering. After ■ being here about five minutes the train j 'pulled out for St. Paul and the crowd ! dispersed, cheering lustily even as they i walked up the stairs of the depot. A large crowd went from here to ] | St Paul last evening by street car, j ! leaving about 6 o'clock. They took a i band with them and it is estimated that about 200 in all from here went to hear Bryan speak. ONE FEE IS A PLENTY. Hennepin District Court Decides the Dowdall Cane. The district court of Hennepin. coun ty has decided a most important case in the application for a writ of man damus against C. R. Cooley, county auditor, to compel him to place the name of Augustus S. Dowdall upon the county ticket as candidate for the leg islature from the Twenty-ninth district, upon the payment of one fee, although he is a nominee of tw.o parties. Throughout the state candidates have not known what to do in the mat ter. Fusion has been general, and as a rule the auditors of counties have in sisted upon two fees, and there have been several unofficial opinions that such was the proper course. The de cision holds that the writ must issue, and that all names of fusion candidates can find a place upon the tickets upon the payment of a fee of $10. The case was heard by Judges Russell, Elliott and Belden, with Special Assistant County Attorney Nunn appearing for the auditor, and J. W. Lawrence and A. D. Smith for the relator. Judges Russell and Belden write the decision, while Judge Elliott files a dissenting opinion, giving his reasons therefore. The case will go to the supreme court, but as Tuesday is the last day for the filing of the certificates, the auditor will be obliged to accept the single fee for -the time at least. OLE mil, FAIR BEGUN. Attraction* Even More Varied Than Had Been Hoped For. Harmonia hall is transformed. From being a modest hall of pleasure, it has become a picturesque maze of attrac tions. From an unpretentious gather ing place for American citizens in sober garb, it has been converted to a Norwegian festival, where bright col ors relieve the sombreness of common attire. Through ten days, dating from last evening, the identity of Harmonia hall, will be submerged and lost in the glories of the Ole Bull monument fair. Mr. Arctander was in Norway during the summer and by personal interview secured the greater part of the attrac tions which are lavishly shown in this collection. The fair will continue until Oct. 16, with a stage performance i every evening, in addition to the at tractions in the hall. The art works in the gallery, as well as a large col lection of articles are the donations of artists and business men, for which there will be a grand drawing next week. The art drawing will not take place however, until later, as other ad ditions are to be made to the picture collection. Mr. Arctander made the opening speech last evening, and a good sized crowd was in attendance. FOIR MILL CITY MEETIXGS. Schedule for Bryan Speeches la Announced, The fusion campaign committee an nounced yesterday, that the programme for the Bryan meetings as announced In Saturday's papers, would be held according to the schedule. I Monday night, Exposition building, 7:30; outside Exposition building, 8:30; I Lyceum theater, 9; Yale Place, 9:30. The Lyceum theater meeting is ex clusively for the ladies. The tickets for the meeting were all given out from the box office of the theater yesterday morning. Shortly after the supply of tickets was exhausted, they commenced to appear on the streets for sale. The fusion committee accuses the ladies of getting tickets, and then selling them. In other words, of trying to make some "pin money" out of the meeting. TT>e committee further announces, ■ that they would prefer that ladies keep ; away from the Exposition building Monday night. A big crowd is expect i ed, and those in charge fear that they r would be trampled upon in the crush. , The next important meeting to the one held in the Exposition, will be the SHE SAINT PAUt GLOBE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1890 meeting at Yale Place. Ampl« accom modations have been made for all at that point. Chief of Police Smith has promised to provide police protection. A foroe of firemen as well will be on hand. Powderly Will Talk Sound Money. The Republican campaign committee re ceived word yesterday that Terrance V. Pow derly would be in Minneapolis on Oct. 1. A big meeting will be arranged for. The place has not as yet been selected. Mr. Powderly was formerly the master workman of the Knights of Labor, and has been recognized as the foremost leader of the laboring people of the country. FREE TO EVERY MAN. The Prescription of a Great Remedy WHICH CIRED HIM AFTER EVERY. THING ELSE FAILED. Painful diseases are bad enough but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness, the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let up to the mental suffering day or night, j Sleep is almost impossible and under i such a strain men are scarcely respon- j sible for what they do. For years the | writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until it was a I question whether he had not better j take a doee of poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential inspir ation came to his aid in the shape of a I combination of medicines that not only j completely restored his general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts ! to natural size and vigor and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and addresß may have the prescription of this won- { derful remedy free. Now when I say } free I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weakened man to get the benefit of my experience. I am not a philanthropist nor do I pese as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such a remedy as the one that cured me. Send me your name and address today. Do not try to study out how I can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mail the prescrip tion, but send for the remedy and learn that there are a few things on earth that although they cost nothing to get, they are worth a fortune to some men and mean a life time of happiness to meet of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box 138, Kalamazoo, Mich., and the prescription will be mailed in a plain sealed envelope. THE TINTYPE. The Mania tot Sit for One Cannes a Clevelander to Lie Some. Cleveland Plain Dealer. It is singular what a taste youthful hu manity has for tintypes. Let the average j young man and woman get away from home | and find themselves in the vicinity of a : photographer's car or cabin, and the chanceß ! are strong that they will enter it in a sort i of shame-faced way and come forth with a conscience stricken smirk. No one is ever proud of a tintype picture. Nobody thinks of preserving them. The fascination is pe culiar, uncanny, Frankensteinish. « Nor is it confined alone to the younger '' generation. Staid fathers and mothers occa ; slonally fall victims to it, and sometimes it 1 takes the form of family groups, with every body on deck from the grandparents down to the latest baby. Not long ago a certain Clevelander of cred ! it and renown went to Put-in-Bay with an organization of which he is a prominent mem ber. His wife didn't go because ladies were I not expected in the party, but she wanted j to know all about it when he got home, i In the midst of the relation a tintype dropped from his pocket, and his wife hastily snatched It from the floor. As she looked at it her brow darkened. "What's this?" she somewhat coldly asked. "Who are these people?" The returned excursionist looked at the ! tintype and slightly blushed. "Never saw 'em before in my life, my | dear. Except Batterson— you know Batter i son— that's him over there." \ "Y«p, I know Mpi Batterson. but J don'.t wtp^V^^KiVVp* 1 iSKr i ill !' ft \\\ \JkPQr A»K>i^i— !^^^^Miaß!W M(i\OHA EUSAPIA PALADIVA.

You see there wasn't much room in the place and— and we had to stand close." 'That's very apparent. I suppose your friend Batterson Is sitting In that chair with the song and dance woman leaning on him for the same reason." "I tell you, my love, these people were entire strangers to us. You ise« It was Just about starting time for the boat and th« photographer said that we'd all have to be taken at once If we were taken at all, and — and that's how it happened." But from the way his wife looked at him as she doubled up the tintype and tossed It in the waste basket he's afraid she didn't b« lleve him. * : Their Conclusions. New York World. Two scientists of the twenty-first c«ntury were examining with deep Interest a petrified body which had Just been discovered. "It is quite old," said one. "Yes," replied the other, "but not nvor* than 150 years, I should say. You will notice that It has the bicycle face and the telephone ear. Those peculiarities did not develop until the close of the nineteenth century, accord ing to the beet authorities." -~m— Rubber Ojrstera. A rubber oyster is the discovery an nounced in Paris. The invention Is one that deserves to rank with the telephone, the submarine cable, or any other of the many Ingenious devices of man to amelior ate the condition of his fellowman. It con sists of a gutta percha oyster to be placed in the restaurant oyster soup, so as to re move the. accepted idea that the decoction contains nothing of a solid nature.

'I. i >*•: There are plenty of mediums who are sufficiently adept (to, inyatlf y and shake the scepticism of %c»p.d, solid, every-day men and women of quick wit and sound sense. But when* it" comes to either making 1 avowed believers In spiritual- Ism of fhe most eminent scientific in vestigators In Europe, or at all events, so bewildering them>,that they confess their inability to account, on the basis of known natural cause and effect, for phenomena their eyes have witnessed — why, that is quite another matter. Yet such a medium is Eusapia Pala j dma, the young spiritualist of Naples. Subjected to the cold, keen, wholly un sympathetic scrutiny of no less distin guished scientists than Prof. Lombroso, the Turin specialist in mental diseases; Sig. Schiaparelli, the great Italian astronomer; Baron Carl Freiherr dv Prel, of Munich; Prof. Charles Richet, of Paris; Dr. Ermacova, of Padua; Prof. Gerosa, of Naples, and Prof. Broffetio, of Milan—with all this bat tery of scientific scepticism trained point blank on her and alert to strike at the first move on her part that hint ed of charlatanry, this remarkable young woman was able to perform feats which apparently set all known laws of nature at defiance. Not only this, but they set at defiance all efforts of the learned doctors of science to penetrate, to detect any jugglery in their execution, or even any unaccount ed for movements on the part of the medium which might cover mere leger demain. It was at Milan ia the house of Dr. Giorgio Finzi, in the Via Monte di Pieta, that Miss Paladina performed this extraordinary leat. The experi ments were directly due to the czar of Russia, who had seei^the young Italian medium, was much .^interested in what he considered heY ; *iMtrvelous powers and requested hef fo^^go to Milan and show the czar's envoy and counsellor of state, M. Aksah>ff, who is a believer in spiritualism, i^anif'estations similar to those which h»4 iftystified the czar ! himself. The only condltioij Jtfiss Paladina're quired was that >*the ; room should be darkened. ■ The medium was then seat ed in a chair witli no, f ess persons than Prof. Lombroso and wDr. Richet each holding one of hei" liatids. SOARING TABLE, S^ERY AUREOLE After a few T momenta ,of '■ silence, sparks similAr to* the- light of fire-flies began to flicker 6rpoy§. Eusapia's head, and at the »a,meW ipoinent the chair, with the me>#hiin se^t.^d in. It, lifted it self from the fktor -to^'.tabJte near. lay. Then followed a wtwid*rful exhibition of mysterious forces/ The medium, with her eyes flashing like diamonds made the table ascend to the^ ceiling and flut ter about as if it were»a scrap of paper, she at the same" time groaning and crying "Dio mio! 13io ihio!" When the sc«ne was over she suffered intensely with pains in the head, back ard shoulders, and was so exhausted from the effects that she was unable to ap pear another time during the week. Notwithstanding she was forbidden by Aksahoff and his comrades to see or soeak to others than themselves, I had the good fortune, through the in fluence of Mme. Dario-Papa, th« wife of the proprietor of Italia del Popola, to have a seance' In'my room at the Hotel Cavour. There were four present besides the medium — the Princess T*rx>u betskoy, whose son. Prince Pierr* Troubetskoy, was> recently married to AroeHe Rives; Mme. Dario-Papa, a young lady from Philadelphia and my self. The room was darkened so tha-t there was not a ray of light. We sat at a plain pine table. On tim right of the medium was the Philadelphia y&ung lady and on the left was Mme. Dario-Papa. Eusapia placed her foot on the toes of those who sat at her right and left and then asked us to concentrate our minds upon the seance. Her two hands were placed lightly on one end of the table, and she requested us to do likewise. Presently there was a tapping from the oeater of the table. It was quiet enough ttr hear a pin drop, when suddenly the ladies who sat at the medium's right and left said that they felt somebody thumping them on th« back. At the aangp time we heard a rustle of garments. o.The young lady from Philadelphia began to laugrh very nervously, upon which Eusapla told her to be quiet. The tapping went on for some little time, when the sceptical young lady from Philadelphia whisper ed to me that she knew that Euaapla was kicking- her on the back with her foot and that the movement was quite visible to her. HIGH-KICKING ALLEGED. As Eusapia did not understand Eng lish, we could talk over what was go- Ing on without her understanding what we said. Mme. Dario-P&pa asserted that only one foot was in use on their toes, and that she firmly believed that the punching in the back was from the other foot, not in use, and they both avowed that the movement was as quick and <agile as those of the skirt dance. The Princess Troubetskoy asked Eusapia in Italian if sihe could transfer, by her will power, the thump ing on the backs of the ladies to us, who sat at the other end of the table. After waiting a few minutes the thumping ceased on the other lades, but did not reach us in any way, and then Eusapia, who began to suspect that some of us were doubtful as to her power, jumped up and threw open the windows and blinds, and then, with a wild, excited look, rushed towards the table, her eyes flashing like fire — the most wonderful eyes I have ever seen— spread out her hands with great force over the table, at the same time making three fierce ges tures. At this the table went flying all over the room. She kept it suspend ed near the oeiling for fully three sec onds, and when It descended it struck the floor with a bang. Notwithstand ing this interesting- performance the ladies were not convinced that the thumping of the back was 'anything else than kicking them with her feet. During a conversation Sgr. Sehiapa relli said that he was thoroughly con vinced of Miss Paladina's powers as a medium. Mr. Aksahoff said in speak ing of Eusapia that she was first made known to believers in spiritualism by Ereole Chiaiia, of Naples. "Mr. Chiala," said Mr. Aksahoff, "had heard of strange things happen ing at the medium's house when she was quite a girl, and by <and by, after many visits, he was convinced of her | power as a medium. She is not pretty, he said, not even intelligent. Bhe speaks a patois which is unintelligible. She cannot read or write, but I con sider her as a phenomenon and a sub ject for scientific investigation. There can be no doubt about it from my own opinion, strengthened by such men as Lombrose and Schiaparelli, who have absolutely admitted the facts as hav ing been witnessed at the experiments. Lc-mbroso has publicly announced that he has never known any phase of hu man nature equal to Eusapia's, al though at first he was suspicious and doubtful, denouncing the meetings ana calling them tricks." PARIS MYSTIC MAD. Very recently Mr. Aksahoff was in Paris and was much interested in the well-known Firench spiirituali&ts and j palmists. The Parisians as well as the I Americans have simply "gone daft" upon the occult sciences — palmistry, fortune-telling and the like. It has become so fashionable that large prices are paid to the most celebrated ones to be present at an evening entertain ment for the amusement of guests. The one most favorably known as a chlrog nomist is Mme. de Thebes,, who lives ! in the Avenue Wagram, close by to. the j Arc de Triomphe. Her apartment- is a • very artistic one, the walls being hung j with red tapestry, which, as Mme. de Thebes says, is a "lucky color." The pictures which adorn the room are origi- I nal sketches by some of the most clever artists in France. The most conspic uous object of interest is a bust of Dcs- ■ barrolles, the famous French palmist, of whom she was a pupil many years ago. Another interesting object in the middle of the room is a table holding a glass case under which are the plas ter casts of the hands of the late Alex- j andre Dumas^ together wkh his own I pe-rihqfder and pen. It was probably j due to Alexandre Dumas' interest in i Mme. de Thebes that she. became.- first known to fame. She applied herself in the interests of science and art, and has given more practical advice to men and women just beginning life thaai any other palmist of this time. She is kind-heart ed and charitable, and much of her time is spent in guiding the lives of the discouraged and disheartened without compensation, although she is the chief support of her family and relatives. It was she who foretold the sudden death of the laite Marquis de Mores, and she also predicted the success of Miss Sybil Sanderson when the latter created the role of Thais in Massenet's opera two or three years ago. At the same time she advised cautiousness in any matrimonial step Miss Sanderson might be induced to take. She is the friend and adviser of Arthur Meyer, the proprietor of the Paris Gaulois. She knows the hand of almost every fasih ionable woman in Paris and of all art ists and professional people. She re cently predicted a success for Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett In her late book "A Lady of Quality," and said that it would meet with extraordinary dramatic success. In almost every In stance she has correctly prophesied of certain well-known families, in cases of divorce, second marriages, accidents by bicycle and otherwise, and many who have not believed in her prophecies the first time have had experiences and been most willing thereafter to be guided by her advice and cautions. < Blanche Willis Howard, the author of "Guenn," In writing to one of her friends in trouble, says: "I hope most of all that you will be guided by Mme. de Thebes, whom I thought very wise, full of tact and insight, and assuredly straight and sound in all her advice." HAND SYMBOLS MAY CHANGE. Heron-Allen in one of his books says tb<a.t "the bland dtoes not change." Mme. de Thebes, on the contrary, as serts that it does, and that any one by enforcing the will power can change and develop the hand for the better. Mme. de Thebes does not consider it wise always to wear what are call ed birthday stones. She thinks the stones should be worn after a horos copic investigation, and that when once made this stone should always be kept on the person night and day. Sometimes they should be set in silver or gold, she says, and very frequently with sliver and gold mixed. It la a common occurrence now to see smartly dressed women wearing pina or personal ornaments, which at sight one recognizes as a "De Thebes amulet." For men the stones are made Into rings or scarf pins, cuff buttons, etc., and for women a pin design, the stone being suspended from the end of a chain with a pin at the top, which should be always worn in front at the neck so that the chain and stone should fall over the chest. There is a very celebrated clair voyant whose husband is a cousin of Eusapia Paladina, living in the Rue Leseur, near the Avenue dv Bois de Boulogne. One of her clients, who went regularly during her stay in Paris for advice and direction, was Nellie Neustretter, who figured so conspic uously in the recent Vanderbilt divorce case. Another sibyl very little known to the public, who tells fortunes by cards, is Mme. Soutille, who lives in '..he quartler of the Avenue d'ltalie.

She, as well as Mme. de Thebes, is very difficult to find disengaged, unless an appointment is made by letter or tele graph. The prices of these persons range from $4 to $1, and there are a great many in Paris who are quite amusing and will tell a fortune for any thing you will sfive them. I know of one, Mme. Canaille, who Is extremely clever. She traced a valuable dog be longing to Countess de Sanot-Mare, formerly Miss Sawyer, of San Francis co. The Countess is a member of the French society of Occult Science, and is a strong believer in mysticism. She was very much attached to this French terrier. It was lost and she consulted Mme. Camllle, who traced the dog even to the rooms of the person who had found It in the Rue de Richelieu. Another celebrated seeress was ask ed to entertain a luncheon party at which the Countess de Castellane was present, as well as Miss Sybil Sander sen; to the former she predicted that she was to "wed a blond man of noble birth and title, and that she would hold a position of rank." To the latter that she would receive an anonymous gift of precious stones after a great oneratic debut. Shortly afterwards, in Easter week, Miss Sanderson wrote to a friend: "I want to see you, for strange to say, I received Easter Sunday, as an Easter egg, a ruby and diamond pin worth 12,000 francs, and I know not from whom it comes. Do send the ad dress of the card woman." FAMOUS FEUD. The MeCoy-Hatßi-ld Vendetta. Ha« Abont Died Out. Washington Star. "There is very little danger of the McCoy- Hatfleld feud ever being revived," said E. K. White, of Matewan. W. Va., at the Norman die. "The Tug river is tacitly agreed upon as the- boundary line, and neither party vio lates the unwritten agreement. One of the McCoys is Jailer of Pike county, Kentucky; one of .the Hatfleldfl Is Jailer of Logan county, West Virginia. Frank Phillips, the leader of '.he McCoy crowd, does his trading in Mate wan, -and th« Hatfle'.ds come there for sup plies. The never go at the same time, but no attempt Is made by either side upon the other. Phillips, who is said to have been shot aloe times, will not live long, th* bul lets, that have never been removed, having resulted In consumption, but he is aa plucky as he ever was. At the last election he was confined to bed with wounds received In his last battle, but Insisted pon being carried thirty miles to the voting place. An enemy insulted him as he lay on the litter, and with a spring he caught the man by the throat and fell to the litter with him. HIS wounds started to bleed afresh, and it seemed that he would die. but his fingers could not be loosened from his enemy'i throat until the man wan unconscious. He comes to Matewan occa alonalry, and always heavily armed, but the officers never attempt to m&le«t him." • Social China < ounter. Detroit Free Press.
