and navy, on the actual term Of
service-it forbids the retirement
of officers below the rank of major
except on the certificate of a board

rank, exclusive of breyet, to officers
retired by reason of wounds.
This is but the outline of the
army bill, which has been in every

because of one single section of it.
1t is not in all respects the bill we
should like to see from a Demo-

cannot be done at once that we

at least congratulate ourselves that

SOMETHING ABOUT COTTON,

SATURDAY. NIGHT At WHITE Rear.
A Concert by the Great Union Band and a

A Concert by the Great Union Band and a
Ten O'Clock Return Train.
Commencing this evening, tho Great Onion
band will inaugurate series of open air con-
certs. to be given at White Bear Lake every
Saturday evening during the season. AS an
additional and substantial attraction to this
charming suburban resort, the Importance of
the enterprise is not susceptible of exaggera-
ton, as the perfect ensemble of this splendid
musical organization cannot fail to produce
the most delightful and beneficial results. -
To Prof. 81. Stein, the enterprising manager
of the band, belongs the credit of executing
the admirable design of giving weekly concerts
at the lake, and his numerous friends in this
city and at White Bear, will not permit his eff
forts to go unpatronized. ~"
With the object in view of giving thor
oughly artistic and pleasing entertainment,
Prof. Stein has procured number of new and
popular pieces, many of which are especially
adapted to this species of music, the unremit-
ting practice of which has made the rendition
of the numbers almost faultless. go
Considered from an artistic standpoint, the
attractions of White Bear as refined pleasure
resort will now become almost perfect. The
natural beauty of the location, the sylvan
charm of her woodland retreats, and the undu.
lating waters of her bay, the understandable
grandeur and picturesque beauty of her land
| scapes have all been extolled, appreciated and
| understood; but hitherto the grand ensemble
granted by nature has been wanting in one es
sential only-the soul that lives in melody anc
that finds its highest manifestation in higf
order of music. - =" ,sss
Trains for the concert will leave the Unio1
depot, foot of Sibley street, at 6 o'clock thi
afternoon, leaving the lake, on the return trip
at 10 o'clock this evening. The fare for TIL
round trip has been put at the moderate pric
of fifty cents, and no pleasanter or more profit
able way Of passing an evening can be imag
ined, than by passing a few hours in this man
ner at the lake. 49, 80 .. = S--l.

Mistaken for a Cheap Boarder.

Mistaken for q Cheap Boarder.
8. s. Merrill, general manager Of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad, knows
by personal experience that the second class
hotels of st. Paul have most persistent
and impudent lot of runners. Mr.. Merrill
was passenger by the Sioux City train from
the west yesterday. The ssold man., as the
boys of the road speak of Mr.. Merrill among
themselves, had been knocking about Min
;nesota, Iowa and Dakota for week, and his
personal appearance when he stepped
from the train would not pass muster
at dress party. The runners were on the
watch for arrivals. One of them got his
eye on the sold man. and he spotted him
for cheap customer, and as he stepped
from the car, grip-sack in hand, dusty,
grimmy and bedraggled, and generally pre-
senting somewhat demoralized appearance,
the runner seized upon him, showed the card
of the house under his nose, and informing
him the charges were only ST. day, made
dive for and got hold Of his grip-sack.
To say that Mr.. Merrill was surprised but
feebly expresses it.. In fact, he was SO set
back. that he followed the runner and his
grip sack several steps before he recovered
power of speech, and then-well, the words
used were not strictly orthodox, SO we will
not repeat them, but that runner got fits.

Anew words passed in regard to his reltn-
gushing his Office as receiver. i
To this he replied that the BIG, OOO, 900
mortgage sale occurred tomorrow (to-day),
that it would have to be confirmed BY the
United States circuit court, and then the
new management would take control.
Under the circumstances, Mr.. Farley did
not believe the change, could be consun-
mated until the latter part of next week.
THE OTHER SIDE. ~ d.ssA
81 A G1onE reporter met Mr.. Hill in the COR
ridors of the Merchants, last evening, and
asked him about their side of the matter.
Mr.. Hill had not seen the complaint, but
spoke very emphatically against there being
any ground for such claim. He said the
proposition and arrangement to buy the
bonds originated before Mr.. Farley was APP
pointed receiver, and he had no legal or
other rights in the premises. Mr.. Hill did
not anticipate any serious consequences
from the suit. ls&
