The work that is being done at these points, and the great changes in the appearance of the country between the two cities, have frequently been referred to lutheGi.onK. Its readers have in a gen eral soil of a way an •'!'•;! that out there In the woods certain Improvements are being completed; and that some settlement of the territory between the twocitles is being made; but without personal inspection it is difficult for them to form an adequate idea of what is really being done there. The transfer seems to be the renter, and around it within the range of a mile or two are circled Merriam Park, Union Park, Prospect Park. St. An thony Park, the state fair grounds, Ham line, the St. Paul & Northern Pacific shops, Coino, the State Agricultural, college and the workhouse. As before remarked these points of interest, where hundreds of thou- Buds of dollars are being expended^ circle around the traifsfer, commencing on the southeast, forming a circle around to the "west, north and east. The country lies beautifully throughout the region referred to, and everything indicates that in ■ few years from now this part of Ihe city will largely add to its value, and will become a scene of busy industry, full of activity and thrift. There-are those who even now predict that the transfer will become the center of a considerable wholesale trade. mi:i:i:iam and rxioN i-.\i;i-.<. Much has b.'i'n written and published about these two lovely spots, and yet candor will compel anyone who sees them to say thai the beauty and charm of these two suburbs have n->t been exaggerated. It would be dificult to find two other spots in Ramsey county as beautiful as these two are. They are just enough undulating to make a beautiful rural landscape and to give a charmingly picturesque appearance to flic lovely cottages and pleasant lawns that abound in both, and both are well supplied with shade trees of quite large size. At present Merrhuu Park is the more extensively built up. Mr. llinkel has thirty contracts for the construction of new buildings this season in Union Park, and a considerable number are i" be erected also in Merriaui Park. I»i:ORPKCT PAItK. This is a. new candidate for public favor. It is a Minneapolis project wholly, and promises to be a great success. As one reaches a point on I diversity avenue about one mile,* or perhaps a Little "more, west of the transfer, he conies to a piece of elevated hind covered with large trees and a thick undergrowth of oak. The topography of the ground is hilly. At one point them is quite an elevation, upon the summit of which has l>een erected a lookout about thirty or forty feet high, on which, when one reach the top of It, lie is elevated above the forest treed and can see a wide expanse of country.

Several hundred acres are being transformed into quite a large town. Large cats are being made for streets, some being thirty feet deep, and the grading is done in a finished and skillful manner. The proprietors put in i large, sewer and drained a lake of about fifteen or twenty acres. This it is proposed to turn into a park. The number of acres in this St Anthony Park is 44>. Although this park was opened this spring, 105 lots have been sold on the south side of the St. Paul & Manitoba load. Twenty-five or thirty buildings have been constructed, and the foundations of others will be put in imme diately, and the house.-; erected this falL A very handsome depot building has been erected there, which is much larger and more graceful than the depot at the foot of Chestnut street in St. Paul.

The business of transporting cattle over the Northern Pacific road has been a very prominent item. These cattle are shipped] both ways. When the Northern Pacific | road was first opened the only idea that prevailed on this subject was to take the j Texas cattle thai were driven up from that ! state and bring them east to St Paul and! Chicago. It then began to dawn upon the i minds of cattle men that if it' paid to raise cattle in Tens and | drive them up to Montana and then ship them by rail to St. Paul and Chicago for sale, it would be equally as profitable ; to buy young cattle here in the Western states and ship them to Montana at three years of age, leave them there for a couple of years and then ship east to market. This plan was adopted and it proved a grand success. Buyers were sent out in all directions in Dakota. Minnesota and lowa to pick up young cattle and these were shipped to the ranches in Montana. In tho years 1889 and ISS4 the Northern Pacific did a driving business in this line. In i>s the regular Montana eattie ship ped east numbered '25.000:' in ISH3, 34.000; in 1884, 75.000. Thus it will be seen that in three years the nasahei of such cattle shipped east Increased from "25.000 to 75,000, or three times, lit lss: 1. the caitie men began putting the idea into practice of shipping native Western cattle to Montana and that year they sent out 90,000, which did bo we!! in Montana grasses that they concluded to continue the experiment the next season. They according!} In is*4 sent out to Montana 75.000 Western three-year olds. The figure* could not be obtained of the number of young cattle sent to Montana this spring, but it is expected there will be some falling oft" in consequence of stock men buying largely in Oregon and Wash ington territories. The people of these two territories, seeing that the shipping of young cattle from the west to Montana and keeping them there for two years, and then shipping them right back over the same route on their way to Chicago was profitable, very naturally concluded that they could do the s.nne thing to still better advantage, inasmuch as they would have but one shipment, and that would be practically from Washington or Oregon to Chicago, against two sTrip ments Western cattle would have, being first shipped to Montana and then brought back. These Washington and Oregon cattle will probably make some difference in the fu ture. Of Montana cattle shipped to Chi cago there were hi 188*, 25,000; in ISS3, 34,000; In ISS4. 75,000.

Correepondenco of the Globe. Chicago, July ■ 10. —What a fickle old girl Dame Fortune is, and what short work she can make of a fellow when she drop-* him! Take our mayor. Carter 11. Harri son, as an instance- A few years ago ho could proudly boast that he was the best mayor Chicago ever had. Be gave us pub- He improvements and managed affairs so economically that taxes were reduced ma terially, anil the |>e.)i>le. without regard to party, dubbed him "The H.-t. " But, alas! he hears tint expression used now only in derision: his influence with the people and with his party is a thing of the past; his party friends and journalistic allies have turned arain>t him. ami it really seems that, like Istimael of old, the mayor's hand b against everybody and everybody's against him. And why this change? As a gambler would say, "He's down on his luck. lie called the turn pretty near every time for nearly six years, but he couldn't keep it up." Carter Harrison has been a snncnra mm among men of the West for lea years past. Indeed, it may be questioned if there is an other man in the West that Is M generally known. A Ken tuckian by birth, he possesses those qualities! of frankness and hospitality that made for him friends everywhere. In per son he is a handsome man. of good figure, grizzled hair and beard and an eye that magnetizes and attracts. A lawyer by pro fession, an orator by instinct, and gifted wall the happy faculty of saying the ritrbj thing in the proper place won for him that distinction as a speaker that but few other nun in the West have attained. His belief in the future creatness of Chicago prompted him to speculate in real estate, with the result that he i* said to have amassed a half million. An [telling for politics, for the stamp, for high and commanding office became the end and aim of Mr. Harrison, with the final result that he became major of Chicago a little more than six years ago. Twice he was re-elected, each time by flattering majori ties. In the meantime, while reforms were going on in certain departments of the pub lic service, in others a ring of tricksters had obtained a foothold so strong that the peo ple demanded they be removed. The notorious Mike McDonald, gambler and politician, with his lieutenants. Commis sioners Van Pelt and Wassennann, COXTIIOLLED THE BALLOT boxes as absolutely as though they were private property. Gambling houses by the dozen were running openly, day and night. The gamblers controlled the administration, and they made no secret of it. '•Th. mayor dare not close our houses," they said. "He dare not antagonize us; he cannot be re-elected without our fine work.*' Last fall the mayor's ambition to be governor of Illinois was sat upon by something like 10,000 Republican majority. Gross frauds were committed all over the city at the polls. The people rose in their might ami said "This tiling must stop. Pun ish ballot-box stutters, close out the gam blers and give us a clean administration."' A tew determined citizens pushed the sec retary of the Democratic central committee to the wall, and he is now in the shadow of the penitentiary's walls. It were an insult to Mayor Harrison's sasracity to say that he did not know that frauds were being com mitted by his friends. "But," he argued, "there's just as much being done by the other fellows, and it's impossible to prevent some •tine" work, and I guess It's all right" When the spring election came around Mr. Harrison consented to become the candidate of his party for re-election to the mayor alty, and i mncro that he would Bi into odice with 10.000 luajority. The vi^ilamv of Ke|iubJicans pteveaaeia Npatatfaa of the haUat-bos stumnc of tlie previooi November, and the returns aWwed Harrison's majority lervs than ".00 fotat, This was dMbegianJag of theead. Humiliated at thi<« meager ma jority he tamed OB his friends with curses and recriminations at their apparent ni j Of duty. A recount of votes was denia aud atier much delay the council took up tlie matter, only to reduce the mayor's ma jority. The BapaMeea eaadUatai tiaouth Ui friends. cave notice of con tent. aßexhaj that several hundred for him had not been counted.

Shortly after the ■prime contest, partly To HIDE Hl* cii.u;!:i\ and partly to recuperate his energies. Harrison went to the Hot Springs in Arkan sas. While there he issued his famous "iramhlers anal go" order. His friend Mike McDonald had a few days before sold his place of business, and the mayor had a chance to £et even with the boys who had, as he thought, •■_<•:;'• back on him" in the mayoralty election. It is only necessary to say that all the booses were closed—and that last niirht they were running wide open ami undisturbed. In the recent street car strike Harrison did not perform ail duty, if the papers and public are to be. believed. However much lii-« sympathy and that of the public was with the refractory men, he should have given the corporation that protection it demanded. And now, worn out and har rassed by mental excitement and physical exhaustion, lie has turned on the news paj»T>. ventiug his impotent race on the heads of reporters. His bat journalistic friend has apparently left him. Every pa lter iii the city calls him "the mayor de facto," the ._.••! mayor."' "mayor pro tern." The Time*, until within a week his warmest supporter. < VII - BIX W IMUK.i U.K. and Harrison drives its reporters from his oflice and consigns them and the j-ujht to sheoL Be lias instituted suits against the Inter-Ocean to the amount of SSOO.OOO. and t In-eaten-. to do the same thine for the other journals. Thus it would appear that the old 111:111 has his hinds pretty full, and will probably pet enough of the courts this summer to last him a lifetime. But he would gladly go through any trouble to secure the fulfill ment of his dearest ambition, that was almost within his grasp this spring. Lie wanted to be United States Senator from Illinois, and Morrison barely beat him in caucus, swnring the nomination. There are those who think Mayor Harrison would have been Senator Harrison had he been placed in nomination. Be that as it may. Mr. Harrison is certainly in bad odor with his-party, and many •of his friends who worked to secure his election will not now be sorry to see him worsted in the contest and have to step out. People in Chicago are much the same as those in London, and if one may judge by orders given newsdealers, there is as much interest manifested here in the Pall Mall Gazette's mtiiUlif 11 as in the world's me tropolis itself. One dealer cabled for COO copies of the Gazette, all of which were ordered at 50 cents each. Later this order was Increased to 1.000 copies. Another dealer has orders for 1,500, another for 300 and another for 250. Some fellow whose enterprise and love of gain are not affected by sentiment has published in . pamphlet form the garbled cablegram of local publi cation, and copies of this are sold on the streets by newsboys. And It is reaping a harvest, too. The first edition of 5.000 copies was sold the first day, and although threatened with prosecution for publishiug obscene literature, the publisher is at work on another issue of 10.000 copies. Only one paper in the city had the bad taste to print the Gazette's exposures, and then crow over its contemporaries by boasting of its superior enterprise. There's ■ ques tion, however, whether it was a paying piece of business for the paper in question, as it has since received sweeping condem nation from press and pulpit, and hi?h minded people generally arc incensed to think that such tilth should be sent into their families.

Miss Cleveland to Make the Sum of Ten Thousand Dollars Out of Her New Book. Talcs Told by Club Men as Startling as Those Revealed in the Great London Sensation. Style of the Blase Young Man of the Period--The Decorative Craze Kunning Wild. The publishers of Miss Cleveland's book seem to have made a pood business hit for which they owe something to the Sun, which advertised the book so largely in advance. Though they had printed three editions they were unable to till all the orders received up to the day of publication. They think the Mies will 1:0 up to 100,000 copies by the time all demands are met. Should this cal culation prove correct* Miss Cleveland will at least make 510,000 by the book. Most of the press notices are long and nearly all are friendly. The only adverse criticism comes from the Catholic papers, and is based on Miss Cleveland's somewhat hasty comments on monastic life in general. That is a subject which many persons have dis cussed without understanding it. It needs a special study, and any person not thorough ly familiar with it is likely to make mis tikes in Witting about it. I think Miss Cleveland has done so—not so much through prejudice, perhaps, of which she is accused, as from imi>crfect knowledge. It might be as well it the monastic e-wsay had been left out of the book. It does not serve any good purpose, and it provokes a great deal of undesirable hostility. Why, 1 wonder, can't sensible people of the world let church matters alone? Nine-tenths of those who discuss them do so without any proper prep aration. MOBA&a OF THK METROPOLIS. A £t«hkl m.my New Yorkers are talking ■boat the revelations of the Pall Mall (Ja zette as to Ugh life immoralities in London. Should a few thousand copies of the (Gazette containiii!* these revelations be brought over here, they would certainly be Snapped up pretty quickly, provided Anthony Comstock did not pounce upon them at the dock. Most of those who talk about the London sensation say they have no doubt that mat re Jwfl as bad here as over there. There certainly is no doubt that a great deal of whtt the Gazette alleges as to London might also be said of New York. But then it Bdght probably Im> said of all huge cities. Club men and other men about town in New- York tell tales just asstartlim:. though they have not quite so many to tell as those which have given London a new sensation. But it is something to see those high-toned libertines of London shown up in their true colors. A gnat deal of the so-called moral law of the world is manufactured in that town, and by the very same social class to which those ranaa and rascals l>elong. I don't see why there should be any great sur prise over the revelations of the Gazette. People have studied Kngiish six-ial history With little profit if they do not know that moral iniquity has tainted the aristocracy over there for centuries. The story now told is new only in form. In substance it is as old as the glorious British constitution itself. THE Otf.T-FnCK Y'U-nu MAX. It h always amusing to note the young man who luM Jut been elected I member of a good flub and who starts in as a regular club man.

The decorative craze has struck the bar- shops now, and before long I suppose the hoot blacks will have it. Decoration has got to such a point that it is tiresome to the eye and everything but beautiful. Nearly all the hotels, public dining-rooms, picture galleries and a good many of the shops arc so much overpainted, overdec orated, ovenipholstered and overdone gen erally, that I begin to think that a plain, whitewashed room with Puritan furniture, straight-up-and-down chairs and sanded floor would create a decided furor if it were introduced into the heart of the asthetieally- rated region of New York. 1 went into a barber's shop the other day on upper Broad way which was M gorgeous as a factory girl's idea of a palace. The chairs were models Of the carver's misdirected energy. The mirrors were surrounded by extraordinary frames; the floors wen* tiled with various colored woods; the celling was a mass of curious, uncouth and disagreeable designs and the walls were arrayed in the wildest excess as far as papier mache, plaques, stucco work and drapery were concerned. At the six chairs stood six barbers, wearing blouses made of striped material that re sembled the old style of awning. A small and very miserable looking boy with a red fez upon his bulging head sat within A cashier's exclosuke,| and the boss, who was presumably re sponsible for it all. had his chair raised on I platform, whence he kept supervision over the other men. The brush boy wore livery, and altogether the whole establish ment was about as gorgeous as the most ambitious barber could dream of. A man whom 1 knew was just getting out of a chair. As he passed me he said, in a hoarse voice, that I had better take his advice, and set shaved somewhere else. but by that time the brush boy had got me in hand, and I looked along carefully and chose the mild est looking' barber of the lot. He didn't speak a word. None, of the barbers are al lowed to in this particular establishment. That ought to make it famous, of course, ■nd it is more or less of a good thing to have a silent barber, but a barber Who is oppres sively and painfully silent is as bad as one who talks. This particular one was solemn looking and quick. He gave me the worst shave that 1 ever had In my life. After I was shaved he gave me a large gilt check, about the size of a visiting card. After I had escaped from the brush boy ami paid my check to the cashier and got out on the street, 1 came to the conclusion that a little less decoration and better barbers would en hance the value of the shop considerably. A barber »hop is not an inspiriting subject to write about, but since they are necessary to men who unfortunately cannot shave them selves, they should be comfortable, and, above all, they should never offend the eye with discordant and silly decorations. costly AIM wokks.

As she left no chil dren the treasures in which her heart was, and so much of her money, too, will prob ably be dispersed.
