Recent letters from London convey the in
telligence that Mrs. o. E. Dodge has won her
suit and her children have been restored to
her. 1t will be remembered that when Mr.
Dodge died in England he placed the children
in care of guardian decreeing that
their mother should never see them.
When MRS. Dodge learned their whereabouts
she visited England but failed to see them, so
rigid were the English regulations. She re-
turned to st. Paul to obtain evidence as to
her capability of caring for the
children and returned to Eng and and
demanded them through the courts. This
ber 3Oth she obtained her son, and ON Decem-
Der 1st her daughter was restored to her. The
children are reported to be rtjoiced at the
change in their affairs. Mrs. Dodge will
spend the holidays in England and return to

A GAY CROWD.

That Is What Fill. Colton's Glass Store
all Day Observation-Disclosures from St.
Paul, saltwater and All Parts of the
State.
The gayest and busiest spot in Minneapolis
yesterday was the corner of Nicollet avenue
and Sixth street, where stands Colton's. All
day long the store was filled to OVERT ,wing,
and all day long steady stream of customers
poured in and out of the great glass doors.
The army of clerks was reinforced early in
the morning, and every body received the best
OF attention. People were seen there from ST.
Paul, Saltwater, Duluth, and all parts of the
state; aud well may they come, for goods are
sold SO cheap that anyone having to buy an
ordinary quantity of Holiday Goods, can save
more than enough to pay their fare to any part
of the state, besides finding larger assort-
ment to select from than can be found in any
other store west of Chicago.
