Daily globe., 1879-09-07

The Milwaukee & st. Paul road showed
their interest in Minneapolis and hostility to
st. Paul by charging forty cents more fare,
during Fair week, from points on the Has
tings & Dakota road, to st. Paul than to
Minneapolis. There could be no excuse on
the ground of distance, as it is farther to
Minneapolis than to st. Paul. Passengers
from Stewart, for instance, who wished to
reach the State fair at St. Paul, found 1t
cheaper to 60 to Minneapolis and then take
the st. Paul & Pacific road to the State fair.
The relative interest of that road in the two
cities was manifested by the difference in ex-
hibits at the respective fairs, and also by the
fact that seven trains were sent into Minne-
apols one evening while parties stood wait
ing on the platform desiring to reach St.
Paul

ADIRONDACK MURRAY is not enamored of
the ministerial profession. In an open letter
to the people of Boston he forswears it for
ever. He says:
utterly decline to remain in a ser
Woe in which my noblest motives are ira
duced, my views grossly misinterpreted and my
best benevolence made the cause and ground of
slanderous attacks. A life in which I can have
no quiet, no peace, no friends. in which can
show no courtesies and do no charities unless at
the risk of being vilely lied about and SANDER
ed, is one refuse longer to live. Tue world, I
have no doubt, can get along we'll enough with
out me, and 1 am quite as certain that can get
along without the world.
As Murray's conduct has always been a
scandal to the cloth, We have no doubt that
his clerical brethren will be glad to be we'll
rid of him.

The emperors of Russia and Germany
have met, and peace once more reigns at
Warsaw. 1t is said that the meeting was q
most cordial one, and that there is no longer
any doubt of the maintenance of friendly re-
lations between the two governments. Ex-
traordinary precautions were taken by the
police to prevent the assassination of either
of the imperial gentlemen-afa fact that seems
to indicate that the internal affairs of Russia
are sufficiently disturbed to cause alarm.

Il FREE TUBLIC LIBRARY.

The proposition of the board of directors
of the st. Paul Library association to donate
the books now owned by that organization to
any free public library association that NAV
be organized at St. Paul under the law of
last winter, is deserving of favorable atten-
tion. For several years past the st. Paul
Library association has had hard work to
make both ends meet. The membership has
not been as large as it ought to have been, and
consequently the dues collected have been
small. The lectures given under it's auspices
nave been 1or the most part unremunerative.
Dhe consequence is that the association finds
itself considerably embarrassed, and there
IS danger that the library may have to be
closed for want of funds with which to main
tain it.
In other cities, both East and West, the
free library system has proved a gratifying
success to the people. The results attend
ing the establishment of the public library
at Chicago are briefly outlined in the ex-
tracts given from the reports of the libra
rian of that institution by the committee on
library elsewhere. The books that formed
the nucleus of that enterprise were donated
to the city after the great fire of 1871, and
the only expense attending it's maintenance
since that time has been for the rent, fuel,
etc and for the purchase of new books az
they are issued from the press, besides the
salaries of the librarian and assistants. The
st. Paul library now contains eight thou
sand volumes, worth, at moderate estimate.
ten thousand dollars. These books wonld
form nucleus for great and constantly
growing library that would ultimately be of
incalculable benefit to the city, and
would be from its start benefcent spencv
for the education of our people.
The cost of maintaining it would be merely
nominal, amounting to but one-fifth of a
mill annually on the ia xabe property of the
city, and probably less, if space was re-
served for the rooms in the new market
house now in process of erection. We have
no doubt but the enterprise would meet
with the cordial approval of nine -tentbs of
our citizens, who are anxious to have some
sort OF library maintained. There ara
thousands of our people who can ill afford to
pay the moderate sum now required for ac
cess to the shelves of the library who would
avail themselves of the opportunities afford.

TEE WALKESTS.
They Travel for Twenty-Seven Hours and
Sullivan Wins

They Travel for Twenty-Seven Hours and
Sullivan Wins
The twenty-seven hour walking contest at
Knauft's hall, between Owen Sullivan. of St
Paul, and VIM. L. Hornsby, the cham pion
walker of Manitoba, for $500 side, came to g
close at eight minutes after IL o'clock last
evening.
The match commenced at o'clock on Friday
evening, both contestants being in excellent
condition, and was continued without Interrupt
ton, aside from the necessary halts for rest
and refreshments, until the hour named, when
Sullivan was declared the winner by one mile
and twenty laps.
At the close of the match Sullivan had
scored lO7 miles and one lap, while Hornsby
had covered 1O5 miles and six laps, and as
Sullivan had averaged nearly four miles an
hour, his opponents record not being far
below that figure, it will be seen that the
match was very creditable to both contest
ants. The best time was made on the first
mile, which was covered by both walkers in
seven minutes and three quarters.
Sulllvan's quickest mile on yesterday was
made in nine and one quarter minutes, while
Hornsby covered the twenty seven laps, the
necessary number to complete the mile, in
exactly eight minutes. Owing to the unmeth-
odical manner in which the score was kept,
1t was almost impossible to get thoroughly
correct statement of the time aud number
of miles made by the contestants in the res
pective hours of the walk, but from the in
formation at hand there is every reason for
believing that the contest was strictly SQUARE
and honorable.
At 8 o'clock yesterday morning Hornsby
had scored fifty-ore miles, and Sullivan ffty
miles and eleven laps. At l1:3O o'clock A.
II. Hornsby had made sixty miles, and Sui
Ivan sixty-six miles and seven laps. At
$3.50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon Hornsby
had scored eighty-one miles, while his op-
ponent had scored only eighty miles.
It will be seen by the above that the match
was warmly contested, and that Hornsby
took the lead until late in the afternoon,
when Sullivan resumed his wonderful run
ming spouts, which soon made the score
about even.
The attendance last evening was such as
to fully tax the capacity of the hall, and the
match was watched with the most absorbing
interest. A band was III attendance and the
proceedings were enlivened by the running
feats of Sullivan, several miles being made
in very short order. Sullivan's one hun
dredth mile was made in nine minutes and
thirty seconds, and the effort was greet
ed with loud cheers. At the close of the
match both men were in excellent condition,
with the exception that Hornsby complained
of slight indisposition. It is understood
that another match will be arranged between
the two pedestrians.

prove their minds by perusal of the cur
rent literature of the day.


The matter of expense is trivial. Nearly
all the publishers of the country give these
institutions very favorable terms, while the
leading newspapers and periodicals could be
obtained at nominal outlay if not wholly
free. A single librarian and assistant would
be all the employees required at present, while
the other expenses eau be ourtailed greatly.
The furniture now in use in the library would
be sufficient for present purposes. We are
inclined to look with favor upon the project.
A library is as great an educator as number
of schools, and would do much to repress
and prevent vice and crime of every descrip-
tion. The proposition of the board of direo-
tors is certainly deserving of consideration
from our citizens generally and the common
council in particular.

ST.. PAUL is looming up. Within the past
year it has been the objective point of every
new railroad organized in the Northwest.
Capitalists are fully awake to the importance
of this city as distributing as we'll as q
terminal point, and will expend their money
freely in building new roads in the hope of
securing part of the enormous freight busi-
ness that centers here. We have room
enough for all. The metropolis of the
Northwest will turn no legitimate enterprise
from it's doors.
