4 Leap Year Party.
To the Editor of the Globe.

The dark cloud that SO lately hung over, and
cost its sombre shadows around the Lower
Town, was last night gracefully removed
through the instrumentality of the young
ladies of the vicinity, by their giving leap
year party. True it is, tbs rather late in the
season to designate it thus, but what is in
name? The whole affair in all details, as we'll
as in its entirety was complete success, and
reflects corresponding credit upon its origina,
tors. When night threw her sable mantle o'er
the world and pinned it with star, at least
80 of the fair sex, together with nearly the same
number of the unfair" were congregated at
the appointed place, and the festivities, which
consisted in dancing and various games, &C.,
began and extended into the wee small hours,
and when at last the time arrived to separate,
it was done with feelings of universal regret.
Those pleasant hours will be, to many, bright
green spot in their memories to ponder over
in times to come. And further; if by mis-
chance any one, Ga stranger of course from
Chicago. Minneapolis, Milwaukee or any other
foreign village) should by any possible means
be possessed with the monstroua idea that the
young ladies of st. Paul are deficient in
piquancy, or in any of those noble qualities
that comprise true womanhood. half an hours
observation would remove such fearful er-
roneous impression, with the same rapidity
the sun dissipates the mist on summer morn
ing. So says batchelor of 27 at my elbow.

What Is Needed.

What Is Needed.
There are two classes of persons who stand
in the way of their own interest and who re-
tard the growth and prosperity of the COM
munity in which they reside.
The first is composed of persons owning
considerable property and who are abun-
dainty able to improve and thereby make it
a source of income, but who will not invest
dollar in brick and mortar, nor sell and
allow others to do so.
The other class is made up of persons who
have houses to rent, yet never advertise the
fact, nor leave their property in the hands
of some agent to rent for them-but content
themselves with posting a card
on the premises referring inquirers
to some private residence where the owner
can be found. This class rarely ever find
tenants, and strangers arriving and wanting
houses fail to find them and leave for other
cities. Now the fact is that our real estate
agents are applied to daily for houses which
they cannot supply. More houses renting
for from $40 to 1926 per month are needed.
Cannot the first mentioned class be induced
to improve their lots and thus aid in build
ing up our city? Mr.. P. II. Kelly and Mr..
John Wann have set noble examples. Who
will initiate them?

JIM HOLT.
This Wait Still Floating About the City
A Peculiar Case

This Wa,f Still Floating About the City
A Peculiar Case
Barefooted, ragged and as lean as Lazarus,
the modern Diagenis and curious puzzle,
Jim Holt. appeared at the police court yes
terday in the roll of an outcast. The testi-
mony of this singular lad, as far as can be
known, has already appeared in the GLOBE,
together with an account of his youthful
ramblings. At o'clock yesterday morning
he was found by Officer Lowell roaming
about with an ancient lantern. When asked
Why he was not IN bed he gave the usual re-
ply that he couldn't sleep until o'clock and
accompanied by the strange addenda that
his father retired at that hour. This ex-
preston is inexplicable from the fact that he
states he formerly resided in Kentucky, and
that both parents are dead. When brought
into the police court he wore a wan, haggard
and famished appearance that was in pltiful
unison with his almost transparent and near
ly naked body. While the court was in ses-
sion he got up and broke for the door. He
looked nearly starved and had had nothing
to eat Officer Lowell took him to res
taurant and he ate till he was like to burst
his little waistband. Diagenis-Iike he car
ried the lantern with him, and he becomes
more and more an enigma.
After finishing the sumptuous repast he
was escorted back to the court room, where
Judge OBrien called him aside and put a
few inquiries concerning Lis life and travels.
In the midst of the conversation when the
court was explaining the benefcent results
that have their root in moral excellence, Jim
looked up at his honorsand exclaimed, "Will
you give me five coppers for nickle?" at
the same time displaying five cent piece,
for the gravity of the court, who felt broke
up. Jim was taken to the county jail, and
Chancellor Murray, who has taken an inter
est in the lad, will dispose of his case to
day,

change for the worse in DR.. Tanners condition
to-day. He is weaker than at any time during
the fast. His eyes are dull and heavy. At
noon ne was suffering pain, though he denied
it, The evident symptoms were So alarming
during the morning that the physicians decided
to have beef extract, warm water and brandy
ready for an emergency. The doctor is much
troubled with wind in the stomach, but while
making light of the symptoms he says if hic-
coughs sets in he will at once break the fast At
o'clock this morning three ounces of warm water
were given him to relieve his pain. Four hours
later he again complained and asked for few
drops of peppermint, but was refused. He
sought relief by pounding his ribs. After his
return from his usual morning walk he was
given little in water and q small piece of ice.
He soon afterwards vomited nearly one and
half ounces of mucous, tinged with bile. He
was weak and helpless nearly an hour after
wards. at one time he took warm foot bath
to relieve congestion of the stomach by in
creasing activity in the blood circulation. He
thinks he caught slight cold. He was asleep
noon.

which sustained and held the market steady
until the close of the morning session, when
they stopped buying, leaving the market in the
hands of our local bears, who pounded without
fear of any hereafter, closing at the lowest
price of the day and 1c lower than yesterdays
sales.
Oats steady. Corn firm on shipping de-
mand, with large charters. They would show
much larger if it was not for the scarcity of
vessel room.
Provisions opened quiet and steady. with
light trading early, but as the market steadily
advanced the closing was strong.

NEW YORK, July 29.-The Express says it
was rumored that Gen. Hancook's letter of &C
ceptanoe would be issued this evening, but at
5o'clock this afternoon it was definitely learn
ed from source which may be regarded as
fully authentic, that his letter will not be
furnished to the public to-day. 1t is believed
that the issuance of the letter only waits the
arrival of copies of Mr. EDglishs letter of ac-
ceptance, so that both may be issued stimuli
taneously. An Express reporter this afternoon
learned that Gen. Hancuck's letter has been
ready and in print for several days.
1t was printed i'll the printing Office on
Governors 8 Island, where official orders and
kindred matter are printed. The generals
letter is understood to be a short one. From
persons believed to have general knowledge
OF its substance, it is gathered that the chief
points are
First-That the Presidents duties are chiefly
executive, and that therefore as soldier acts
IN obedience to superior authority, the Presi-
dent must obey the constitution as the
supreme law of the land and obey and enforce
the laws of Congress, whose duty 1t is TO re-
peal laws when it is found that they have be-
become obnoxious.
Second-That the political results of the war
uust pe dcCepteu anu uplelu III Sooo Aaien,
and the constitutional amendments and laws
enacted in pursuance thereof must be fully
respected.
Third-The broadcast democratic ground will
be taken on the Chinese question that Colum-
hia is the asylum and home for the oppressed
of all lands, but she will not tolerate enslave-
ment of labor in any form, whether by foreign
or local contract.
Fourth-That the duty of the President to
make recommendations to Congress is to be
pursued in no narrow, but in a thoroughly nu-
tional sense and, as local interests may con-
Rict, the duty of reoonoiling matters over
which eections may dispute, belongs to
Congress- tbs law-making power.
