wanting to be supported by wife need
not apply to Miss Jones.

GEN. HANCOCK.

His Visit to st. Paul as the Guest of Gen.
Terry.
Gen. W. s. Hancock, commander of the
Division of the Atlantic, formerly in charge
of this Department. reached st. Paul yester-
day, and was conveyed to Gen. Terry's resi-
dence, No. 100 Summit avenue, whose guest
he will remain while in the city. A GLOBE
reporter called at Gen. Terry's residence
last evening and found Gen.
Hancock surrounded by large number
of his personal friends. The man of inter-
rogations was received with the utmost cour-
tesy by the general, who, by the way, looks
remarkably hale and hearty. TIE generals
fine military bearing and soldierly physique
is only excelled By his urbanity and courteous
demeanor.
In reply to questions, Gen. Hancock stated
that his visit had no important significance;
he was not here upon any public business.
His visit to St. Paul was owing solely to his
desire to meet once more old friends, renew
old associations, and look again upon
"things familiar" and rejoice in the
growth and prosperity of region
with which he was few years
since officially connected. He had private
business at st. Louis, and he took the op-
portunity of looking in upon st. Paul and
her sister city.

MRS. HOUSED.
She ia ATroste1 and Once More Attempts


She ia A1rasted and Once More Attempts
Suicide.
Mrs. House the heroine OF several attempted
suicides, is once moro before the public. Sunday
morning about O'clock the chief of police, who has
been watching her very closely since her last auicdal
ct, sent two officers to her house. 213 First Avenue
South, to arrest her. Arriving at the house the OIL
oeTs knocked for admission, but were told they
could not come in The door was forced open and
were discovered IN state of dress more adapted to
southern climate The suddenly remembered
that he had an engagement elsewhere and attempted
to leave by the rear door and Mrs. Housed, without
taking time even to brush her hair or tg up at ALL
taken to the police station. Willis the officers were
awaiting Mrs. Housels return another gentleman
visitor called and as he could give no satisfactory
reasons why he called he was also taken to the lock-
up. In about half hour Mrs Housel finding the
weather rather chilly outside returned and tried
to budoze the officers with story of her trials and
ended by saying that she could not possibly walk to
the station, but II did not take for cent and she
finally concluded to so and was locked up for the
night at police headquarters. Yesterday afternoon
she made two attempts to take her life, by chok
ing herself with chain she had and again by
tying her clothes together and hanging herself She
was discovered both times by the Waterman and
last night very quiet and refused to talk to any
one. The parties will be brought before the court
this morning and as the woman is thought to be in
sane she will probably be sent to the asylum.

The Advance on Afghan.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Times in it's none
tary article says: Many reasons make it APP
pear probable the winter campaign will close
with the occupation of Daka Khurum and the
Pcshen valleys. The winter is drawing near.
cold is intense, and fuel and forage in the
mountainous districts scarce. So, for pruden-
tial reasons, the Indian government will not
care to entangle their armies too far in the hills
at this season till their communications are
more secure and their commlssiarat and tran
sport arrangements on more approved foot
ing. Three columns as at present constituted
are too weak for extended operations in the
direction of Jellabad, Ghugani and Candahar.
Were Gen. Maudes' division massed at Jam
road, had Gen: Roberts strong supports at
Kohat, and if Gen. Primrose were echeloned
between Sukar and Quettah, we should be in
clined to believe in the possibility of a further
advance. AS it is, from military point of
view, we doubt its practicabiIity.

4 CHAMPION Idiot.

It Is difficult to imagine whether the covert
SANDER upon Minneapolis, perpetrated by the
cast-lron, triple plated idiot who gets up the
"melange'' for tho evening Tribune was purely
and gratuitously malicious, or was merely
another volcanic eruption of chronic imbecility.
Under the heading OF Dramatic and Literary
on Saturday is half-column puff for Mr..
Bryton, leading man of the Murray troupe, en-
titled King of Hearts" This journalistic
driveler, in endeavoring to make Mr. Bryton
appear a fascinating and popular actor, insult
ed every young woman in this city. After q
half-column OF characteristic damfoolishness,
the champion idiot goes on to say:
The successful personators OF lover parts are
usually made the subjects OF this female ador-
alton, and it may have been managerial fore
sight which placed Mr.. Frederick Bryton as
leading gentleman of the Metropolitan Theatre
company on the stage in the fascinating role of
Elliot Gray in "Rosedae." He is well adapted
to the character, for he belongs to the Montague
school Of actors, and can do the monchalant,
chivalrous lover alr-ays well and always grace
fully, though he is never passionate. Certain
it is that his performance in that role has done
more than anything else to make him a favor
tie. and to say that great many hundred wo-
men are ''raving" over him just at present is
but drawing it mild. If the young actor were
to disclose the contents of his daily mail, if he
were to tell how often and how apparent is the
desire of young ladies to make his acquaint-
ance, it would make an amusing chapter. But
Mr. Bryton doesn't do this thing. On the con-
trary, he is very retiring, very Indifferent
and very gentlemanly fellow, who does not
comment upon the absurd spectacle of having
twenty thirty of the first young ladies of
minneapolis marched up to him in pairs,
squads, and one by one, for an introduction to
him at a social gathering at which he is a very
modest looker-on-a thing they wouldn't think
of doing if they hadn't lost their heads as well
us hearts"
1t now remains for Mr.. Frederick Bryton to
state whether or not he authorized the insulting
inuendo that scores Of 'our first young ladies"
were addressing confidential notes to him. The
public viii be curious TO know whether he is
companion IDIOT to the ''melange" man in the
egotistical illusion that any number of Mime
apols' "trst young ladies' are mashed" over
him. Mr.. Brayton has the bearing and pres
cnce of gentleman. He is beyond doubt
talented and promising young artist and one
of the pleasing attractions at Pence Opera
House. He owes it to himself and the manage
ment employing him to deny the false asper-
sion which the Tribune idiot announces in a
semi-offcial manner eminating from him.
His good sense will teach him that the imputa-
ton is insult TO every young lady in this
city, and he should hasten to disown it as COM
ing in any manner from himself.

Insurance Defalcation.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. ga deficit of $780,
600 has been discovered in the local office of
the Connecticut Mutupl life insurance company
of Hartford. Investigation .oyea1a +he. fact
that the arrearage was brought about five years
ago, when Messrs. Ryan, Carpenter Co. were
Kentucky agents for this section. Over S16,-
900 of this is traced to Carpenter, whe was the
Office man of the concern, Ryan and j. Ed
wards Slaughter doing the outside business.
Slaughter was killed by railroad
accident about this time, and in
squaring accounts Ryan discovered the deficit,
and according to his published cards. assumed
the entire liability and paid Carpenter Sc,
600 to get him out of the concern mud save his
fomily the disgrace of the discovery. He has
been able to pay up only a small part Of the
deficit thus far and his sudden dismissal by the
company brings to light these facts. The con-
Germ business in Kentucky was built up by
Ryan, and as his individual labors secured
nearly all the policy holders, there is strong
feeling in his favor. A large number of policy
holders talk of calling public meeting to pro-
test against the company's action.
