We fear Senator Christiancy has been
contaminated by Washington influences. A
dispatch says he will not resign his seat I'M
less he can satisfactorily arrange his bust
ness. 1t is not to be doubted for moment
that Zach Chandler will fail to see the force
of this hint, and that by satisfactorily ar
ranging Senator Christiarcy's business by
finding q purchaser, he will at the same
time buy his way to a reelection to the
United States Senate.

THE THREE CARD MONTE STYLE
WINS.

VAHOs
When the Northern Pacific railroad was
frst being operated from Duluth to the Red
River it was infested with gang of three
card monte tricksters under the leadership
of notorious character nicknamed :sShang.''
Shang was gentlemanly appearing fellow,
and when arrayed in a white cravat had q
decidedly clerical appearance. When laying
for big game he was wont to read the Scrip
lures kindly furnished the cars by the tract
society. His unsuspecting victims were
thrown off their guard by his pious demean-
or, and when some, of his gang, by pre-
concerted arrangement, appeared and pro-
posed the game, merely to relieve the
tediousness of the ride, scarcely single
simple minded passenger would refuse
to join the "truly good'' appearing
stranger in the little game. OF course there
was but one result, and after Shang and his
gang had plucked their victims by means of
their marked cards, they left the train to
await the coming of new greenys.
After much trouble Shang and his gang
were expelled from the State, but it is evil
dent that their influence still remains. This
was very apparent when DR.. Keith and his
gang put In an appearance yesterday at Min
neapolis to decide where the Lake Park
should be located. The meeting was opened
with fervent prayer, and Divine guidance
was invoked to aid in determining Wise
location. In view of the circumstances, this
might almost be said to be blasphemy, and
1t settled the fact at once that gigantic fraud
was about to be perpetrated.
Following the prayer came DIR. Keith (the
Shang of the occasion), who played the cards
as arranged by the gang. OF course he
turned up the little joker bearing the strange
device "Excelsior.' The greenhorns from
st. Paul, White Bear, Saltwater, Lake City,
Frontenac, Red Wing, etc., were all taken in
and done for, as the GLOBE announced would
be the case some days ago. "Divine
guidance pointed its unerring finger at Ex-
celsior just as the clerical appearing Shang
on the Northern Pacific pointed to the card
on which the stranger had wagered his
money. It was simply fraud, as had been
designed from the first.
The true inwardness of the whole affair
was that some Iowa sharpers, thinly dis
guised by the cloak of religion, visited Min
neapolis some time ago, and, meeting a SIM
liar local gang, resolved upon speculation.
They determined upon locating the park at
Excelsior, but, in order to put money in
their purse, it was necessary to secure 9 COM
petitive game. Shang and his followers
never could have thrived by fleeing each
other, and with that notorious example be-
fore them they devised the fraudulent game
of rivaly in order to bleed Minneapolis The
was grand success, and the relig-
ious tricksters bagged $4,000, sum which
would have cheered the heart of Shang in
his palmiest days. The GLOBE reconizes
the right of the Iowa and Minneapolis gang

The Edinburgh Presbytery of the United
Presbyterian Church of Scotland has passed
resolution recommending the synod to declare
that marriage with deceased wife's sister
shall no longer be bar to membership in the
church.
The Troy IN. W clereymen have adopted
resolutions recommending that at funerals all
unnecessary expense, such as an exhibition of
flowers and distribution of Grape and gloves
be avoided, and that there be brief and SIM
pie burial service.
The Rev. DR.. Vino ent has received an appli-
cation from country Sunday school for dia-
logues for a missionary anniversary. The ap-
plicant says: ''Do not send dialogues which
are too religious, but somewhat inclined to the
ludicrous nature"
An important religious awakening is reported
from the City OF Mexico. 1t originated in he
Presbyterian mission, and ali the Protestant
churches in the city are stated to be enlisted in
earnest work. A number of prominent citi-
are among the converts.
The Congregational ministers Of Chicago
have generally agreed that cards.. billiards. the
aters, dancing, ETC., are not evils in themselves
but have become evils, and that the line of
true reform lies, not against amusenents per
Sc, but IN overcoming evil with good.
The Chinese of San Frsncisco have brought
over an expert priest for the express purpose of
propitiating All Toa, their devil or evil spirit.
They think that All Toa is incensed by the lit
tie attention that has been paid to him in this
country, and they have resolved to make
amends.
The debt of the Southern Methodist Publish

BAFFLED BURGLARS.
An Attempted Safe Blowing on Elm St,

An Attempted safe-Blowing on Elm Street.
About half-past three o'clock this morn.
ing man named John Mccormack, who
occupies room in the same building in
which Fidel Adler's jewelry store is To-
Gated on Elm street, near Fifth, discovered
that an attempt was being made by burg
lars to blow the safe in Mr.. Adler's store.
He gave the alarm and the cracksmen fled
Officers Zimmerman and Moran appeared
upon the scene, and, upon examining the
premises found that an entrance had been
effected by cutting hole in the floor from
the cellar. The lock of the safe was charged
with powder and fire had been inserted
ready to be touched off when the gophers
were frightened away. The safe contained
valuables to the amount of $25, 900, and had
the rascals been successful they would have
made good haul. A large-sized jimmy
and an auger were left behind.
This morning about o'clock valise
containing brace and about a dozen bits,
dark lantern, coil of fuse, ball of twine
and bag Of powder, was found in the back
yard adjoining Mr.. Adler's place. The
gang was undoubtedly professional one,
and understood their business, but got
frightened away too soon.
