vENHE HANDWRITING OF THE HOLY

condemning to destruction this wicked Kingdom of dishonest
men. as it was upon the walls of Belshazzar's dining room in the
midst of his thousand banqueters. MEME NJ EN e TEKEL
UPHARSIN was written on the walls which no one of
his guests could understand until his Queen sent for Daniel
who told the King, God hath numbered thy Kingdom and I'm
ished it; thou art weighed in the balance and art found
wanting, thy Kingdom is given to the Modes and Persiansi
that night Belshazzsr was slain. Darius then undertook his
Kingdom, when M. u. ia Il stepped in with

Beg pardon. I must relate a little incident that occurred a
few days ago. One of my HIGHLY FINISHED
ES was standing near the Drinking Fountain
on King Street, when a gentleman and lady were passing by
and all at once the horse took fright and nearly became un-
manageable; but the driver got the animal quieted down, and
he came in with the same weight he went out with, and saved
stakes. But come to investigate the matter, the horse took
fright from seeing his shadow in MY IGHLY FIN
ISHED CARRIAGE that was standing near the
Fountain.-I also am finishing up some very nice FAMI-

Her Little Girl Wrapped IN Flames
Saved Perhaps by the Mother Plunging
into Pond With Her.
A frightful and exceedingly sad accident oc-
CURED in the Sixth ward about $50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, which resulted in serious
and it is feared fatal injuries to the five year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Bayer, re-
siding at the corner of Seventh and Cedar
streets. At the time specified the little girl, lin
company with several children, was playing
around bonfire, with which they were anus
ing themselves, a short ways from the house.
While engaged in the dangerous amusement
spark fell in the folds of the chld's dress,
and before she was aware of it her clothing
house shrieking "mamma," the cries being
heard by Mrs. Bayer, who ran outside to see
what had happened. With rare presence of
mind and at the risk of her life she took the
oh Id in her arms and ran for an adjacent pond
of water.
She plunged into the water with the child
in her arms the flames by this time having COM
municated to her own clothing. The situa-
ton was appalling, but the heroic mother,
without hesitating, waded into the water
shoulder deep. They had only exchanged one
horror for another, however, and death would
have resulted from drowning had not assist
ance been at hand.
They were assisted to their residence, where
medical aid was summoned. The child was
terribly burned from the knees up and her con-
dition is very precarious. Mrs. Bayer was
badly burned about the arms and hands. She
is also suffering from the shock.
Later-The child died about lf-pasttwel
last night. In the haste of calling medical
aid the first physician who could be foundwa
summoned. A little later DR.. Stamm, who
has been the family physician, was called, but
refused to come because another doctor was
in attendance. Dr. Stamm was over the bridge
in the ward, and though urged by the sister
of the sufferer to come, declined to do so. Is
this professional etiquette?

THE contending Minneapolis papers
selected Charley johnson to act as umpire
between them to determine their respect
i've calculations. Charley has worried
them by declining to act. 1t was shrewd
tactics on the part of the papers, for
Charley johnson proved himself the
champion liar of the country when he
took the Minneapolis census, and what
ever he might decide in the matter OF
newspaper circulation, no one would be-
iieve him. AS each paper felt afraid OF
the result, by selecting johnson they
knew no one would believe him, and
hence the paper defeated in the contro-
versy could demonstrate that the arbitra-
tor could not be trusted He is just the
man where both are afraid. If he should
certify that both papers had a
large circulation, it would practi-
cally ruin their business, as advertisers
would believe the reverse and refuse to
patronize either. Charley has his uses,
to do the dirty political work of his party,
but when it comes to square issues of
fact he changes facts to lies with the cas-
of the magician who wants his wand to
accomplish transformations.

THE TRAVELLERS.

Coming Together for Their Summer Meet
Ing and Festival at Lake Mime tonka-
Programme of Amusements and O ecu
patron for the Three Days, Beginning
To-Day.
The committee of arrangements for the
summer meeting of the Northwestern Tnv-
cling Mems Association had possession OF
parlor at the Merchants yesterday afternoon
and stationed there Mr. J. w, Bur-
dick, of Bailey & Co., to receive
such of the travelling men as arrived,
provide them with tickets for Lake
Minnetonka, and inform them of the pro-
gramme laid out for passing the three days OF
their sojourn at the lake. Other gentlemen
of the committee visited the other hotels OF
the city for the same purpose, and at p. NJ. ii
was understood that over fifty members of the
association had reported in st. Paul, while as
many more were coming on the trains to ar
rive this morning, and a considerable number
were expected to reach the lake from Mime
apolis and from the West. The programme
of amusement and occupation laid down by
the committees is as follows:
To-day, excursions around the lake, fol
which members will be provided with tickets
so that they can take either of the three boats
running in connection with the several trains
and be landed at Lake Park, the headquarters
on the return trip from the upper lake. In the
evening grand display of fireworks at the
park, with music, and social hop In the Lake
Park hotel, closing at midnight
Sunday, religious services, forenoon and al
ternoon, with sermons or addresses by Rev
Samuel G. Smith, of st. Paul, and Rev. j. H
futile, of Minneapolis. In the evening sacred
concert by members of the association and
their ladies.
Monday, from to 6 A. NJ, competitive
fishing. At A. NJ. the fat mans boat race,
At 10 A. NJ. the lean mems swimming match.
The victors in these contests are to be reward
ed with magnificent medals of leather and tin,
constructed by the best artists of the country,
regardless of labor and material. At II A. NJ.
or IL NJ. an address by the president or secre-
tary of the association. At dinner few
toasts will be INDUCED in and possibly some
casual remarks may be allowed. The after
noon will be devoted to tour of the Islands,
and in the evening the festival will be closed
with another big display of fireworks, more
music and another hop, which need not be
ended at midnight.
The fireworks provided, according to Bart
Presley, Esq, good judge, will make the
best show ever given in the State. They were
all made at the st. Paul factory. Tents, ham
mocks and other cOnveniences for outdoor en-.
ioyment have been sent out to Lake Park, and
it will be strange if the travellers and their
ladies do not enjoy Themselves.
The Northwestern ravelersAssociatiO went
into operation in 1876. 1t is mainly an association
for reciprocal assistance, the principal feature
of which is the paying of IS, eco to the family

of this handsome insurance to any one member,
for the five years, has been only seventy-three

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.
All departments close to-day, except High
school, State High school, and A grammar
grades. These close tomorrow afternoon
About the usual number passed in the examl-
| nations, except in the grades mentioned above.
In these the examinations have been made
more comprehensive and thorough, as it has
been found that not few who had formerly
passed were not able to do the work. The
primary pupils receive their certificates of
promotion to-day. The higher grade receive
their standing by postal when the papers are
looked over. The vacation will probably con-
tinue nine or ten weeks. Sickness (measles,
mumps, etc.) has caused considerable irregu-
larity IN attendance, and, with the hot weather,
have thinped the schools somewhat.
