In Mrs. Durocher's modest residence on Market street, between Third and Fourth, Is a pretty, blonde young woman, whose distress is pitiable. Her name is said to be Annie Rocliuy, but she has been going under tho assumed name of Hiss Pinkham. She Is the mother of a diminutive babe, with the paternity of which she charges her brother-in-law. He lives at St. Cloud. The girl's parents live about seven miles from Alexandria, Minn., and last summer, she says, she left homo to pay a visit to her 6ister in St. Cloud. She alleges that while living at his home, In August, her brother in-law, wronged her. When he discerned her condition he decided to send her to St. Paul, and provide her with money enough to pay the expenses of a mother and child. She came April 5, and paid for two weeks' board. He wrote to her several times, and twice since she name he sent her money, once $26, and HL'ain $-35. • Then he stopped writing or Bending any more 'money. Mrs. Durocher j lias his letters. The miserable young wo- ] mail did not know what to do, for she was I i;; too delicate condition to work. Site ap pealed to her sister by letter for assistance, but no answer came. So one took pity upon her, and her landlady could not af ford to keep her without some compensa tion. There was no other prospect, it seemed, than a life of shame. Eventually, however, she concluded to go to the munici pal court, and get 11 warrant for the arrest of her brother-in-law for bastardy. It was found thai the parties were non-residents, and no warrant could he issued. Dr. J. C. Markoe. who has attended her, and County Attorney Egan have the case in hand, and v.jil try every possible legal method, to bring the author of her uuhappi ness to justice.

Guests of a Day»Tlieir Views and ' Opinions. Register of the Land Office McDonald of St. Cloud was in the city yesterday. He said that he thought there was no question but that Knute Nelson, the present congressman from the Fifth district, would be renominated by the Republicans at their coming- convention at Brainerd. While he thought there was a great deal of opposition to him among certain sections it was not united, and would not, therefore, make much of a show in. the con vention. The Duluth Republicans, he said, were upposed to Nelson's renomination, but they were unable to unite on any man, and hence could not expect any material assist ance from other parts of tbe district. '.He had heard the name of R. L. Frazee of Frazee City mentioned as the . most available candidate for the Democrats to put up against Mr. Nelson, but was not prepared to say whether Mr. Frazee would consent to make the run or not. If such a decision was ar rived at and Frazee {rot In the nght Mr. Mc- Donald was of the opinion that he would make as good a contest for the place as any Demo crat in the whole district. . Mr. Frazee's pop ularity throughout the district was well estab lished by the complimentary votes received at the time he was running on the Democratic state ticket as a candidate for lieutenant gov ernor. Referring to the state campaign. Mr. McDonald said , that he had heard many names mentioned as candidates for the head of the Democratic ticket, but had understood that Dr. Ames of Minneapolis, the Democratic mayor of that city, would make a strong run for the place. With the proper ticket in the field, he thought that the Demo crats had every reason to think that with proper effort the nominees might be success ful. Capt. Alex. Griggs, Grand Forks, was an hotel arrival. He is chairman of the Dakota railway and warehouse commission, and was on his way to the southern part of the terri tory for the purpose of investigating certain complaint 3 that had been tiled during the past few weeks by the residents of that portion of the territory.

The situation in the freight war which lias "beau* referred to in these columns, is becoming more serious day by day. Though no open cut has yet been made by any of the roads, it is well known to railroad men that all the lines between Chicogo and Council -Bluffs are making rates far below the agreed tariff rates. This secret cutting is becoming so serious that not only is the business beyond Omaha, and the Colorado freight being thoroughly demoralized, but freights this side are also upset. It is re ported that parties are shipping west to Omaha and that the goods are rebilled trorn that point, and it is feared this will have the effect of breaking up the Southwestern association. •To prevent this Commissioner Midgley is to send an agent to Omaha and if it is found that the goods are being shipped to Omaha and rebiiled local rates will be charged upon such freight and ac counted for in settling up the. Colorado pool balances. . This is a part of the trouble mentioned a few days ago as having caused a meeting of freight agents to be held here. They could not accomplish anything and so adjourned without touching the live stock rates between lowa, Minnesota and Da kota.. ....*„ • Duluth Marine.

Once Tom Corwin, who was pitted against Shannon, was in a stage riding to some point where he was to . prosecute his canvass. On the way. a lady, who by the way, was uoue other than Mrs. Shannon, entered the stage. She did not know Cor win when she saw him. Mrs. Shannon carried a baby in bet arms and Corwiu took the child from. her as she was about to step into . the stage. He . placed the little one on his lap and retained it there, amusing it in a gentle, kindly manner until the lady reached her home. Corwin got out, and, entering: the house, carried the little fellow to a bed and laid him down on the flat of ; his back. As he turned to the lady to bow his farewell she' asked him to whom she was indebted for so much kind ness and courtesy. 'Thomas ; Corwin, at your service, madam, was the reply, "and I ; intend to lay • your husband out at the next election as flat as I have just laid your son on his back." A Babbi Deposed.

Min neapolis and ■ Stillwater. These celebra tions are made each year in the Twin Cities, and are simply made days of rest and pleasure. The affair was j under j the auspices of the Union Francaise •of St. Paul of the order of St. Jean Batiste, which invited the co-pperation of the Min neapolis society and French citizens gener ally. Few, if any, of the preceding local celebrations have surpassed the affair of yesterday in point of numbers and success. The day was a delightful one, with clouded sky and cooling . breezes, not too hot for comfort and not too sunny to dance and boat ride in the after noon. The. day began in St. Paul with services at 9 o'clock at the St. Louis Cath olic church, which was filled with j gay cos tumes of society regalia and holiday attire. Mass was conducted by Rev. Father Genis of the parish and an address was made by. Rev. Father Guyot of Waverly Mills. John B. Olivier congratulated Father Genis on the high esteem in which he was held by the congregation and an appropriate response was made by Father Genis. A. PICNIC TO WHITE BEAR. At 9:30 the society formed in procession and marched to the depot, where nearly 1,000 of the large French population of St. Paul boarded the 10:20 train for White Bear. Its arrival at the lake was quickly followed by a train of similar length from Minneapolis, and by the afternoon the dele gations from Osseo, Stillwater and the sur rounding country and the additional arriv als from the Twin Cities swelled the crowd to at least 2.500. Leip's hotel and grounds were taken possession of and until evening presented a lively scene. Many picnicked on the grounds, but hundreds waited long and wearily for the slowly-vacated seats in the dining-room of the hotel. 'r ' ■ The afternoon was passed in open air dancing, boat riding and a general friendly reunion. Bands were present from both cities and added an important share to the entertainment, while the large and lively crowd, with the accompanying : host -of hawkers andj fakirs, gave to Cottage Park the first vigorous thrill of life it has felt this season. During the afternoon a part of the crowd listened to short open air addresses in the French language by a number of gentlemen present, among whom were J. B. Paradis, F. A. Carrier, Rev. Father Nongeret of Minneapolis, and T. O. Dufresne and Rev. Father Genis of St. Paul. Dr. P. Marchand officiated as officer of the day, with P. J. Bigue and Zotique Quesnel as assistants. The crowd was quite prepossessing in appearance and noticeable among its characteristic features was the large proportion of ladies it contained. The early eveuing trains brought home most of the crowd and the day which vividly sug gested the tri-color and lilies of Fiance was at an end. AN ALIi NIGHT NUISANCE. , New Yorkers Tired of Listening to a. Mocking: Bird. !••?."' Special to the Globe. . New York, June 24.— Residents of West Tenth street, near Fourth avenue, are going gunning for a mockingbird that is making the nights miserable thereabouts. The bird is considerately set out doors by his owner at nightfall, and then the trouble begins. The cat* in the neighborhood are bad enough, but the bird reproduces all that the cats say with variations. The passing cars are noisy enough, but the bird imitates the grinding of the wheels, the clink of the bells and the rattle of the har ness. So watchful a bird was never known. He is alert all the night, he welcomes late comers and goers. He replies to the po liceman's whistle, the milkman's call, the messenger boy's song, the innumerable noises of the street, and never tires of re peating them. Tenth street is aroused and threatens to evoke the protection of the city, ordinance. But the bird sings, chir rups, whistles, catcalls, huzzas, screams, rasps, mews and cries all sorts of things all through the night with merry vociferous ness. ™o_ Quick sales and Small Profits.
