Getting Square Meal-Forging An Order

"Charles Clark" was the name given yes
terday afternoon in the municipal court by
cripple whom officer Cook roped in. "Clark"
is a German, with a fuency of English, and
wears cut-away military cap, which, with
his lameness, has tendency to excite
sympathy. He presented himself yester-
day at J. N. Gebhardt's restaurant on Fifth
street, obtained his breakfast and presented
in payment for the meal an old pocketbook,
saying that it was all he possessed. Mr..
Gebhardt kindly told him he was welcome
ceeded i'll informing himself that
Kuhles g. Stock, of Robert street, and then
departed. By-and-by, he secured the SER
vices of a street gzant7a, whom he induced,
and procure the business card of the estab-
ishment. Upon the card he wrote forged
order, addressed to Kuhles g. Stock, for 200
cigars, which the youngster presented,
and the cigars were delivered to
the boy, who, in turn, gave
them to s:Clark.'' This closed the youths
dealings for the time being. The cripple
sold the cigars, as is supposed, then went to
Overpeck's livery stable, and hired horse
and buggy. Meanwhile, the bogusness of
the order had been discovered by Mr..
Kuhles, and Officer Cook was notified
and the improvised errand boy was
hunted up, who pointed out the buggy-rid-
ing cripple. The policeman gave chase, and,
after heated run, secured cripple, crutches,
horse and buggy. "Clark'' was locked up,
and it has since transpired that he has been
peddling "jewelry'' round the city. He will
be on the municipal court penitent bench
this morning, when his real name will

Opening of the Registers To-day---ImpOrt
nnce of Placing Your Name on the List.
The forthcoming municipal election, which
occurs on the 7th prox., will be held under
the general election law, elsewhere pub
lished in this issue, which was enacted by
the last Legislature. The provisions of the
law are so sweeping i'll their innovations and
character that it behooves every voter to post
himself most carefully in all the bearings of
the act. Tho registration of the elector is
rendered imperative by the statute, indie
pendent Of his name being upon any pre-
vieus election register. In other words, the
poll lists have to be made out afresh in every
particular. Unless, therefore, each voter at
tends personally to his registration, he will
most assuredly lose his vote.
The judges of election will convene at 8
4. NJ. to-day. at the various election precints,
for the purpose of organizing their several
boards, and to prepare the registers of cleo
tors in the various districts, and copy of
which they will have to post up, as provided
for in the twenty eighth section of the act.
Following are the various precinct places of
meeting and of voting:
ElrSC VafQ-ElISt pieclucC, mo- Z engine
house, Wacouta street; second precinct, Can
ada street, near Fourteenth.
Second Ward-First precinct, Court house;
second precinct, corner of Robert and
Twelfth streets.
Third Ward-First precinct, City hall;
second precinct, near the corner of Rice and
Martin streets.
Fourth Ward-First precinct, No. engine
house, corner of Leech and Ramsey streets:
second precinct, corner Of Carroll and Josette
streets; third precinct, corner of Dayton and
Western avenues.
Fifth Ward-First precint, No. engine
house, corner Of Broadway and Tenth street;
second precint, Bradley street, ten blocks
north of Seventh street.
Sixth Ward-Sole precint, near The rost
Office.
The judges of the election. are notified
that all blank books and other essentials, to-
gether with copies of the new election law,
bound up with pages for registration, can
be obtained on application to the city clerk.
The main point rests with the voter, who
must register if he does not wish to be dis
franchised.

"Tlle Jolly Stu dents"

The German society paid graceful COM
pliment to Mr.. VIM. Manner last night in
benefit at the Athen@um. There is one
thing that can always be said of entertain
ments at the Athen@um-there is always
plenty for the money, and last night was no
exception. The performance was inaugural
ed by an overture by Konradi, which was
carefully performed by Seibert's orchestra.
The number i'll the first part calling for
special mention were "Black Forest! How
beautiful thou art sung by Mr.. o. Dreher;
trio from "Attila,' Miss Faber and
Messrs. F. Werner and O. Dreher,
and Schubert's "Impatience" by Miss Faber,
each of these barely escaping an encore. The
comic opera-"Jolly Students''-was placed
upon the stage with the same completeness
which characterizes every thing produced by
the German society. The overture to the
opera is very pretty, embracing some we'll
known German airs. The opening scene was
quite effective and the opening chorus we'll
| sang as was also the chorus to "Honi soit
Qui NAL q oense." Mr.. A. Koenig as Fleck,
| especially in the disguise of the English
| valet was excellent. Miss r. Brown as
Lisette acted remarkably we'll and surprised
her friends by her spirited singing il the
parting scene, with Anton, s'Wilt thou love
| me-" This was the first time Miss Brown
has taken the leading part in an opera and
| she acquitted herself with much credit. Mr..
A. Scheffer was a good Anton and Mr.. Gieson
as the miser called forth bursts of
applause in his song, "Glittering Blessednes.'' -
The other students dressed in the
true Heidelberg costume-were creditably
rendered. The plot of the opera is of the
flimhiest kinda mechanic, Anton, in love
with the prettiest girl in the village, Lizette,
has been ruined financially by the miser
Geier; the students sympathise with him, as
! he is about to take leave of the "queen of his
heart, . and prepare a plot in which the miser
| is induced to buy worthless daub of pic
ture for 700 thalers under the impression
that an English gentleman 20. Dreher) will
give 1000 thalers for it. The 700 thalers is
| given to Anton, and he, of course, makes
Lizette happy. Slight as is the plot, there
are some cleverly arranged situations and
the music is sprightly and good. The play,
| cd the whole, was we'll rendered.
As though good concert and we'll pro-
duced opera were not sufficient, the gener-
| GUS society added a ball to conclude their
mammoth entertainment, and this last was
as great a success and as we'll appre ciated as
| the performance.

TO the Honorable members of the st. Pat
Chamer of Commerce:
GENTLEMEN: Having watched with much
interest your action in measures touching
reform in a general way, and in our mnnici-
pal affairs particu arly. wish to present for
your delberation subject of which it may
be said the wonder is that it has not been
brought under discussion by you long ago.
I allude to the many industries carried on by
Messrs. Seymour, Sabin & Co., in the
State prison at Saltwater and the utter
hopelessness of competition with them, by
men engaged in like industries outside OF
the prison. And matter of still greater
Importance for your consideration is the fact
that the above company or association be-
comes every year more and more power in
the State. In asking you to take this mat
ter up am not ignorant of the fact that
several prominent citizens of st. Paul, and
some of them members of your honorable
body, own largely Of the stock of this same
company, nor do I know that it is
any the less incumbent on you tc
discuss these things because of that fact. A
plain mechanic, have no more interest ir
bringing this matter before your honorable
body than any other citizen of st. Paul OF
the State at large.
A few items Of interest will be furnished
If called for. Very respectfully,
j. M. MINOR.

POUNDING LEATHER.

The First Game of the Chicagos of tho Sea-
son--"Little Mac Makes SPLENDID Be-
ginning.
Saturday afternoon the Chicagos played
the first game of the season, playing with a
picked nine captained by AL. Spalding. The
game possesses especial interest to St. Paul
lovers of the game, from the fact that
three former members of the Red Caps
were engaged, "Little Mac'' in his
and Messrs. Gross and Bachli as
catcher and pitcher for the picked nine.
In order to give all the eleven men of the
the first five innings were pla-ed with Lar
kin pitching and Ferguson short stop, and
the last four with Ries pitching and "Little
Mack" short stop. TO even up matters @
little, Spalding's boys were given five outs to
the regulation three for the Chicago's, and
yet the Ohicagos had an easy walk away,
6palding himself getting in the only run for
his crowd, while the profs. run up a score of
IA, the errors standing as 6 to 1G.
In speaking of the game, the Chicago
Tribune says it was witnessed by two
thousand people at 50 cents a head-an in
dication that interest in the national game
is not subsiding in that city-and that the
play of the team was eminently satisfac-
tory.
The play of "Little Mack was especially
fine, sustaining the very high opinion had
of his ability as ball player in this city. In
the four innings he played at short he was
ut bat three times, and made two hits, as
sisted six times, and played without an er-
TOR. Ferguson, who played short in the first
Eve innings, and third for the bal
ance of the game, was at bat five
times, made three hits on two Dagger, as
sisted seven times and made three errors,
giving "LittIe Mack" much the best of the
game. It was good beginning for "Little
Mack and his st. Paul ball friends expect
him to keep it up until he establishes him
self, as they believe him capable of one of
the best, if not the best, short stop in the

SYLLABUS.
The real estate of q deceased person de-
scends to his heirs or goes to his devisees
subject to administration and payment Of
his debts, and this liability continues not only
against heirs and devisees, but purchasers
from them until the administration is closed.
The proceedings before commissioners
upon claims submitted for their allowance
all persons interested in the estate are par
ties, and all are bound by the award of the
commissioners of the appellate court on ap-
peal.
nafidavit of the executor filed in tbs
probate court that there are no debts, does
not affect the right of creditors to have a
commission and to prove their clain,s and to
have them paid out of the estate. When
there are debts against an estate only al
lowed and there is no personal property in
the hands of the administrator to pay such
debts, it is the duty of the probate
court on proper application by the admin
lstrator to grant license to sell real estate fol
that purpose, Sub. 10, sec. 3, ch. 81, laws Of
1876, is not retractive.
Decision of probate court reversed and
cause remanded with instructions to grant
