THE MEANDERINGS OF MINNEAPOLIS. A Week's Events Political Effusions Epitomized. and Guff. The Chicago News thinks that prohi bition is the elixir of life that is going to rejuvenate the nation, and. probably as an entering wedge, would like to have people deprived of intoxicating beverages on Sunday. In order to work up a desire for a Sunday closing law it Is writing up the experiences of cities where seventh day prohibition is being tried. Apparently the reports are col ored to suit the views of the News. Last Monday the observations of an alleged staff correspondent at Minneapolis were printed. This correspondent, in order to make the present peace and quietude of Minneapolis more apparent by con trast, drew a lurid picture of Minneap olis under Mayor Ames' administra tion. "Then," he says, "the saloons did more business through their back doors on Sunday than they did behind their open fronts on week days. Men in carriages drove from saloon to saloon and got as drunk as they knew how. Mr. Babb is a sturdy New Englander." * • nn f^\ ~' S j""i *~^ f\ o ■ • '// ■■ . BtTNDAY DCHHSG THE AMKS ADMIXIS- Maj. Norton, the mayor's clerk, is quoted as saying: "Under Ames'ad ministration Sunday was the most dis orderly day of the week. Crowds gath ered about the saloons, and ladies pass ing by were subjected to offensive re marks. Hacks drove from saloon to sa loon. Though a pretense was made of keeping the front doors closed, the rear doors were wide open. Things are vastly different now. Some people go to St. Paul and get drunk, but for peace and quiet the difference is very great between this administration and the last." ■ *\ \ v rfc '■/ /lil v KICOT/I.KT AVEXVE DVKIXG BABB'S AimiXISTHATIOX. "It used to be that anybody could get drunk by going down town. On Nicol l«t avenue you would have to pass five or six saloons witn toughs in front of them, their thumbs in their vests, sneer ing at every woman who passed. Now the town is quiet and orderly and a woman may go where she pleases free from insult. The difference is very marked, and all for the better. Illicit Belling is reduced to a minimum. A •blind-pig' is occasionally discovered in Borne cock-loft or basement, but the po lice keep so close a watch on these un licensed dens that they do little harm. The bottle trade is not considerable, though a trifle larger on Saturday tlmn during the remainder of the week. Beer in kegs finds its way to working men's houses, but this evil is no greater than before the Sunday law became a bar and bolt to the saloon door." _)- How silly all this kind of rot is. Maj. Norton has published a card denying that he ever said what is credited to him In the News interview. He is free to admit that it is a libel upon Minne apolis, and insists that he did not even criticise the administration of Mayor Ames. There never was a time when Sunday in Minneapolis was not the most orderly day in the weak, instead of the "most disorderly," as is asserted in the News article. The only differ ence between the administrations of Ames and Babb, or Ames and Pillsbury, Is (bat a man could get a drink of beer, wino or liquor on one day of the week as well as another. The city under one administration has been about as orderly as under another. -I- If the News wants to inflict the Sun day closing law on Chicago, all right; but is it necessary to libel Minneapolis In order to accomplish this glorious re sult? The Saturday Evening Spectator has moved into "Spectator Terrace," the nightmare structure which Proprietor Dv Bois has recently erected on the subscription plan on a section of Elder Stewart's , Fourth street corner. The building, or rather structure, is a double cross between a greenhouse, a Chinese pagoda, a mosque and a tire screen.

Yours at present, J. N. Gannon. — J — A- new, organization called the Wood pecker club has recently sprung into existence in Minneapolis and is rapidly increasing in membership and influence. The primary object of the association is the amelioration of the condition of au- I burn-haired citizens, and hence it is i named after that perniciously active ! biped which has a top tuft of red feath ers just over the bump of self-respect. Assistant City Attorney A. H. Hall is one of the charter members, and one of the board of managers. The late la mented A. N. Jordan, who is now paw ing up the earth and sucking oranges on the Pacific slope, was the first sec retary, and John H. Steele was elected by acclamation to fill the va cancy. Ex-Capt. Reddy ; Hanrahan, !of the Minneapolis ball team, has been re cently appointed grand worthy outside guard. The other officers are grand worthy chief woodpecker, Col. William McCrony; worthy cliiet lecturing wood pecker," Mai. J. Thomas Wall, alias | "Reridy the Tip;" grand worthy chief scribe, E. A. Poe Sum ner.' There was considerable dispute as to whether Sum ner should be admitted to membership or not, as the hue of his hair was a little too far removed from a real crimson to be in line, but his friends urged that the dark .red hue of his voice would equalize matters, and he is now . one of Remain guys of the organization. ■ - ; ; "I do just believe that If it wasn't hor rid, and everything like that, I would ' just like to see a prize-fight. The pict ures of Mr. Sullivan and those other men that are pugilists always look so big and strong. I just know it would be too lovely for anything, only, of course, I couldn't go to see it. I think it's awful mean that young ladies can't /go any where 'or see anything. Now, my brother always goes. I know he does, but mamma doesn't. Papa didn't either until the two met at a sparring match one evening, and Cousin Jack, who was with Will, says that they both tried to get behind themselves when they saw each other,". It was a pretty little black-eyed Minne j apolis girl of about nineteen summers j who gave expression to her scandalous desire to see a brutal Drize fight in the above words a clay or two ago. She was talking to a party of girl friends, and never expected any one to know of her wicked wish; and her parents, who are I well known and highly respected among -j the good people of a rather swell por ! tion of the city, would -.. be simply hor : rified to Know that it was their daugh- I ter who said these things; and yet three j out of the four daughters of equally re spectable parents who listened to the outburst of feeling concluded, after the usual "Oh, you awful creature!" and "aren't you ashamed?" that they, too, would like to see strong men battle in the ring. "What are we coming to?" -|- Patrick Seventy-Five ■ Per Cent Fitz gibbons, the noted Irish orator and ex- Cronin suspect, hasn't been heard of since the untimely demise of the local organization of the Sons of Rest, whicn was hastened by the lamented depart ure of Z.

He then took from the bag some case hardened biscuit of the vintage of '88 and attempted to eat them. Failing in this venture he wrapped them carefully in the paper again and reaching across the table jumped the claim of some pre-emptor who had left half a plate of bread uneaten, having disposed of that with the last drop of coffee and the most minute particle of "oleo," lie picked up his paper sack, paid a nickel for his coffee and walked out. "That man must be following Jim Fiske's how to get rich instruction." re marked the proprietor of the cafe. "What's that?" inquired a customer. "Oh, work like the devil and never spend a cent." Tim Byrnes for governor. This is the story that is wafted from the capitol via tne Pioneer Press bureau. "Tim left a practice worth from $5,000 to $10,000 a year in Minnesota," this is also wafted sweetly westward through the same agency. Tim does not intend to stay in Washington sacrificing all these dollars unless there is something else in store for him. The thing in store is the governorship. There are two things in these P. P. waftings that will cause a smile in Minneapolis. The first is, that T. Byrnes has a S10,00l), or even a §5,000 law practice, and second, that he can jump over the ponderous form of Bob Evans into the governor ship. i— l— Just as sure as steady labor Brings reward to those who work; Just so sure we will in '90 The Western base ball pennant jerk, Do not think our star is waning 'Cause Reddy cannot find the ball.

Let those laugh who will about it, All their jeering is but sound : Let ail who will pretend to donbl it. Our base ball team is gaining ground. There was something suspicious about the way Col. John T. West "horsed onto" the costumes of the Bellini Opera company. The gallant colonel could have secured his board bill by attaching the personal baggage of Miss Bellini, and the other colonel, Houghton. But he preferred to send a lawyei to attach the scenery, costumes and music of "The Pretty Persian." There is some thing behind all this, and Col. West has partially given the snap away. But he doesn'tVant to tell the whole plot yet, because it all hinges upon one person. If Clarence Sauispaugh can be obtained to play Nouzhna, Col. West intends to put "The Pretty Persian" on at the Panorama building under his own man agement. Saulspaugh has been wired at Maukato, and Col. West will know in a week or two, when he makes up his mind. The cast contemplated will be a star one, and will include the Watsons as Salenrilekem and Nadic, Bolt Kalk lioff as the Prince, and Ed O'Brien as Hool, Ab Bourn theHullah. The chorus will be made up from the Luriine Boat club. Nothing will beomitted from the original score, and the ballet divertise ment will be the grandest exhibition of its kind ever seen in Minneapolis. Miss Hattie Harvey and Miss Mac Worden are rivals. Miss Worden ad mits this partially. She says: "Of course we are good friends socially, but professionally— well, you know we are both skaters and have skated against each other and, on the stage. Well, the newspapers have always been very kind tome, and at Chicago, I don't know how it happened, but my figure was praised while Hattie's was not. I played the part of the page and came on just before the prince. 1 wore a costume that vyas a love." And Miss Worden described the costume. The description cannot be reproduced here. Suffice it to say it was longer than the costume. "One night Miss Harvey came and embraced me. 'Oh, Mac,' she said, 'I had some friends in front last night, and they went into ecstasies about your form. They say it is divine, but your costume is too naked. You ought to wear a skirt' Hattie, you see, was a little piqued because my figure attracted more attention than hers, al though she wore a more startling cos tume than I did. Mine was plain, hon est titfhts. She wore in her Nautch dance, a silk skirt stashed up both sides, and every time she whirled around, the silk flew in all directions, and there was Miss Hattie Harvey in all her love liness. It got out that Hattie didn't like my costume, and a few night's after, Fred .Nixon, of the Tribune, you know Fred, came on the stage and says to me, 'What's this about Hattie Har vey wanting you to wear skirts,' and then it got into the papers, and we had no end of fun over it." HE WASN'T THERE. Commissioner Giertsen Not at the Meeting of the Board. The police commission met yesterday morning with Commissioner Geirtsen absent, and elected W. F. Allee, L. H. Lawler and F. L. Howes members of the force. They were ordered to report to the superintendent for duty. Lars Hanson, O. Hovelsrud, Charles A. Chase and A. H. Trepanier were also instructed to report to the police sur geon for physical examination, and later in the day were called before the commission for examination. Some of the latter men were among those nomi nated by Commissioner Giertsen in Fri day's session, and the fact that they were considered has caused consider able talk. It is known to the select few, however, that Giertsen has scored no victory, as the men he nominated were as good as booked for appoiut meut, and he thought to make a show ing of power by having his nomina tions indorsed.

Several Somewhat Different Descriptions of Its Ap pearance. According: to One Account It Smokes Cigars and Is Sociable. At Excelsior It Takes the Guise of a School ma'am. The fair young Naiads were mounted on the flying sea horse in those delight ful days when the gods ruled high Olympus and when jolly old Neptune rode the raging main behind the mighty steeds. But days have changed since then and the sea horse exists no longer. He, too, has changed, and he is now that strange, uncanny creature, the sea serpent, but he still retains some of his pristine characteristics, for he some times plays horse. Fair Minnetonka, where the sunlights gleams upon the murmuring wave of : imprisoned silver, where the swaying' trees embrace the laughing water in their soft embrace, where lovers sit in; the moonlight and whisper sweet noth ings and chew gum, fair Minnetonka has a serpent like unto that found in the sea. From time to time have rumors been afloat, but '■ those who have seen it were afraid to tell of it. As time meandered by his serpentine majesty became bolder, and more people looked " " T • •" ■''( ' 1 1 1 1 ! i m iHkto&t ' ifj W^[j )}'' X ' upon his scaly inrliness. At times it assumes different sliapes and aspects. "1 first saw the serpent early in July," said C. B. Eustis, of Breezy Point. "It was just after dinner on the Fourth. It appeared between Breezy Point and Point Lookout. I was somewhat in doubt about it at the time, and called Fred Jones' attention to it. j-As nearly as we could estimate it was about sixty-five feet long. Its head was shaped some thing like a huge catfish, with immense scab s about twenty inches wide. There was a gradual tapering to the tail. The eyes shot out a greenish light with a baleful glitter in them. We didn't tell any one about it at the time for obvious reasons. But last Tuesday, during the loud blow,l saw the monster again,more plainly than before. "There is lHKlotibt about there being a huge serpent in Lake Minnetonka," re marked 'f. E. Gaty, of Spring Park, as he sat upon the gunwale of his beau tiful, yacht Aurora. "I have seen it plainly several times, and so has Col. Ewiusr. We- have usually come in con tact with it near Spring Park, and it seems to be either heading for or coming out of the Narrows. It is very long and slender, with a box-like head with a tremendous mouth. It raises its head four or five feet out of the water, and hanging from its mouth are two lone feelers. One day its lonjr, sinuous tail became entangled with the rudder of my boat, and the tiller has been hard to I .\f/A< '<f§ THE BIG ISLAND SEA SERPENT: IMPROVES ON ACQUAINTANCE. manage ever since. There's something uncanny about that brute. I wish some one would kill it." •• "You may 'talk about your sea ser pents and poke fun at them," remarked J. L. Sparks, of Fort Smith, Ark., who is sojourning Hotel St. Louis for the summer, "but 'Join Ridge and I had an experience not Ions: ago that changed our | ideas V somewhat. .We got up at 4 o'clock one morning to fish for bass of Diamond reef, and after angling foi several hours we got tired and put into Big island to rest in the shade a little. We were having; a very comfortable sort of a time when Tom espied some thing strange moving in the water,- . "For heaven's sake, Jim," he ex claimed, ."what is that?" " . _.£~.Trr "I looked and sat frozen with;, aston ishment. There was a huge head with great eyes starting . from its forehead that shot forth. gleams of red and green: Above the eyes arose huge • horns .J that were thrust out in all directions. Its monstrous mouth was closed, and about it were great spikes. From the 7 chin was suspended a long whisker, ' which looked -as if it iwere-maae from sea weed. Attached i to : the { head was -, a grayish-brown body, like that of a mon ster snake, with huge fins, which waved gently back and forth." '. r -~ ; : "Tom," said I, "it's a sea serpent." " 'Jim,' said he, 'it is.' ■ - ."«?>-'' '.'T^IL I gr.a§ped both i h i s hands in mine, and we looked earnestly into each o&ej's eyes, I'liou \ye. secured a little. more courage and looked toward the monster. "When he saw us he broke into a smile as broad as a French play. This reassured! me in a measure, and we waited his approach. He made his way upon the shore without the least diffi culty. When he came near enoueh 1 gently shook hin by the whisker, whereat he seemed mightily pleased. Then he cast a longing glance" at my cigar. " 'Jim," said Tom, 'he wants to snufte. Give him a cigar.' "I gave him the cigar, which he lighted by touching it to his fiery eye. When he had about half smoked the v§sed he began to scowl and I became anxious. " 'Tom,' said I. solemnly, 'I haven't a drop. If you've got any give itMlhini.' Tom sadly placed his hand in his pocket and drew'forth a bottle. With a gurgle that made Tom's chin whiskers fall out te grasped it in his mouth and made for the water. "But it has been at Excelsior that the sea serpent has exhibited a horrid form. There it appeared with a head which bore a most remarkable resemblance to a human being. Its eyes were covered with a glassy film that resembled spec tacles. There were short feelers from its head and a long hairy substance fell down on either side. 3fe f^ — Carl Puckett was the first man to see it at Excelsior. He declares that the Peerless had every stay weakened when tlje serpent agazed upon it. The ani mal frightened him terribly, for it fol lowed him about for three hours. H. J. Burton and Judge Bailey have also caught glimpses of it, and so have L. J. Stetson and Fred Hopkins. Tommy Oir says that ever since he saw it he has been unable to raise any hair on the top of his head. At Minnetonka beach the inhabitant of the water takes the fairest form. A riaiiity sylph-like mermaid, with be witchins eye* and rouuish smile. S. M. Harris, of the Lafayette, was the fijrstto see her. and for days and nights he haunted the. water. Then Arthur 11. Rogers gazed upon her and was be witched. Even Park yon Wedelstaedt's devotion faltered when he gazed upon the dainty mermaid in a Worth dress. ■if-\i Even S. J. Ahem fell a victim to her watery loveliness and composed a son net on the spot. But the beauteous water maid was adamant, and all the aggregation of male beauty at the hotel failed to charm her. She is as elusive as most sea serpents are. Minnehaha Races Aug. 27, 28, 29, 30. •f f. OFF FOR MILWAUKEE. The Veterans Will Start To-Night ?' at 4 O'clock.
