HARRY PARKER,S FUNERAL.
The Checkered Life of a Variety ActO

The Checkered Life of a Variety Actor
Brought to a Close.
The curtain was rung down in the
concluding act of Harry Parker's, the
dead TESTERS life, yesterday forenoon.
He was known on the stage as Harry
Spriggs.
The funeral obsequies of the dead man
took place from his late boarding place,
No. 10 East Fifth street, at 10 O'Clock
yesterday forenoon Although not an
imposing affair, there was much in the
surroundings that suggested the strong
ties of sympathy that unite together these
rowing MINISTRIES of the profession. The
deceased was one of that peculiar class
whose province it is to please the whimsi-
cal taste of tickle public.
Like majority of itinerant and no.
madic actors, his career was unusually
chequered; he had his ups and his downs,
his failures and successes, and in the
course of varied career before the
footlights may be discerned much that is
strangely pathetic.
Like majority of his class he was not
| burdened with an excess of worldly
goods, but he had friends who did not
abandon him in the hours when sympa-
by was as golden and blessed as God
send
This was manifested by the large num-
| Der of friends who attended the funeral
yesterday morning. His fellow actors
contributed to the expenses and to Mana
ger Conley is due the credit of extending
substantial aid and guaranteeing all ex-
penses The remains were encased in a
handsome casket and the cortege was
nade up Of actors and friends. The re-
lains were inferred in Oakland cemetery
Irs. Parker, the wife Of the deceased, is
i'll very i'll ands her condition is con-
| .idered critical

Ed Wright, the colored Lothario, with
record as black as his chocolate colored
aug, and Long Kate, Ii s brobdignagian
lahy, were before Judge Burr yesterday,
harged with walloping half breed hus
,,.y named frankie Colleen. The latter
ook place at Rates mansion on Hill
,lreet last Tuesday nigh land the girl was
pretty badly used up.
The defendants appeared in court
acked by Lille Train, the molasses col
red blonde who is the suite card in
Kate's pack, and the sore-eyed unfortu
nate Nellie Rice. The proceedings were
enlivened by the infant offspring of the
latter, which made some terrific music in
the ante-room and almost distracted the
bailiffs.
The half-b breed testified that both Kate
and her man Friday pitched onto her and
gaveher most unmerciful pounding.
In proof of her assertions she displayed
a couple of ugly looking scars: Then
some stalwart swearing was done. Long
Kate testified that Golden had thrown
lamp at her, and that she had received
the wounds by falling down stairs; also
that Golden had wanted to kiss her, say
ing that she, Golden, had stuck to her
better than Lille Train.
This aroused the latter's resentment
and the music commenced. The other
witnesses, Train and Rice, testified to
about the same thing. Rice also stated
that Golden had a pint bottle of whisky
and that she had remarked that she was
after blood and some one would have to
die. Wright, Golden and Kate were each
fined 800, which they paid.

Where Many of the Occupants of tho Old
Choteau Block Can Be Found.
The demolition of the old red brick
Choteau building, corner of Third and
Minnesota streets, to give place to the
splendid structure to be erected by Mann
heimer Bros, has lead to change in the
location OF many well known firms,
which went to make up the "happy
family" occupying that venerable struc-
ture. But it seems that the associations
formed IN the old building were of such
a pleasant character that as tar as posi-
BILE they are being maintained in their new
quarters. Thus we find quite gathering
of them at l24 NEW number) Third street.
Here, in the first floor front, IN suit OF
rooms nicely arranged for their extensive
business, is found the we'll known and
popular insurance firm of S. S. Eaton q
Co. In the rear of these rooms is large,
airy and light room, occupied by Hon.
Edmund Rice s. Son as real estate
office Passing up to the second floor, at
the front, will be found the grain office
of David Bows & Co with j. G. Adams
in charge, while In the rear is the law office
of j. B. Galusha All the offices
have been rearranged, reprinted, and
generally frightened up under the dlrec-
ton of Mr.. Eaton, who sub-lets, and they
are among the pleasantest and most con-
venient to be found on Third street.

He Should Have Pulled.

A good story is being passed around
among select few upon two of our well
known citizens, one butcher, the other
n dentist. AS the story goes the dentist
owed the butcher So for meat, which the
butcher had been unable to collect.
Finally one forenoon the butcher goes to
the dentists office and seating himself in
the operating chair, informs the tooth
extractor that he would like him to show
his skill upon his molars. The dentist
promptly got his instruments in readi-
ness, and then asked to see the offending
members. Mr.. Butcher responded by
opening wide a rather ponderous mouth,
into which the dentist peered earnestly,
supplementing his eyesight with tests
with instruments, finally remarking that
the teeth looked all right. az know
they are," said the butcher, "but-
you, you owe me Sc which you will not
pay, so go ahead and pull out six teeth.
Pm blasted if | am going to be beaten by
a little snoop of dentist"
Finale: The butcher still retains his
six sound teeth and the dentist has re-
celpt in full for his meat bill.

Mr.. CoRBIN, who claimed the seat IN
the Senate now occupied by Senator But
Ter, of South Carolina, is in Washington
for the purpose of again applying for ad-
mission When he first contested the seat
it was shown that he had not the shadow
of justice upon which to rest his claims.
and Senator Butler was sworn in. He
persisted, however, and succeeded in hav-
ing his partsans on the committee of
privileges and elections to recommend his
cause. The Senate, however, refused to
take cognizance of the report He is evil
IDENTIFY hopeful that he will have better
luck now that the Senate is in the hands
of the Republicans, for he is aware of the
fact that where partisan advantage is to
be gained it makes no difference whether
he has good or bad case 1t is not i'm
probable that an effort will be made TO
Gust Senator Butler and seat Corbin in
return for the consideration shown BY the
Democrats in permitting Kellogg to re-
tain his seat when he had no legal right
to it. When that case was under consid-
Grafton the Republicans insisted that ii
was res adjudicdta, but there is no doubt
they will change their minds as to Butler
although the circumstances attending the
ontest were precisely similar in both
cases.

STAND BY TIE COLORS.

In less than a month our annual city
election will be upon us, and the only
interest manifested in the subject is on
the part of the Republicans, who express
great desire that party politics should
be kept out of our local affairs.
The Democratic party should bear in
mind the gross injustice done by the last
legislature in so arranging the districts as
to effectually and forever disfranchise
more than fifty thousand Democratic
voters, and now, after that most out
rageous treatment, they have the i'm
pudence to ask for a division of the
offices IN this Democratic stronghold. In
the past our party has divided the local
offices, in fact the Republicans hold to-
day all the offices in the county worth
havng-county auditor, sheriff, clerk of
court and municipal judge. All these
fat offices in, Democratic city and
county, and with them they have the
''cheek" to ask for share of all the
other offices.
The Democratic party met with defea
last fall in consequence of internal dis
sensions These must be settled, and
henceforth we must present an unbroken
front, and never rest satisfied until the
county is fully redeemed. Let us stand
together and see that Democratic Ram
sey county is ruled and governed BY
Democrats, instead of the narrow
minded partisans who would disfranchise
the last Democrat in the State, if within
their power. AS the enemy raised the
black flag during the session of the legis-
lature, we accept the issue. The Dem
ocrats should keep their organization in
tact, nominate men for every position
who will command respect and support,
and regain what has been lost by the
plumbers and quarrels of the past.

ALonr Pending suit decided.

NEW YORK, April s.--The suit of
Thos Drew against Grinnell, former col
lector of the port of New York, tried be-
fore Judge Wallace and a jury in the
United States circuit court, resulted in a
verdict for defendants.
The suit began in 1869 and has been
tried twice in former years, the jury dis
agreeing in each trial. The plaintiff, in
1860, imported certain goods called
s'spot n ets," which were classified by
Collector Grinnell for duty at
the rate of 60 per cent ad valorem, pur-
suant to the provisions for silk and laces,
contained in the tariff act of June 80,
1864, their being no provision for silk
spot nets, plaintiff claimed the proper
rate of duty was SO per cent. ad valorem
pursuant to the provision for manufac-
lures of silk not otherwise provided for
in the same section. Other suits of like
character are pending in which over a
million dollars are involved.

ADJUSTMENTS.
WidOW Bedott.

The Opera house was crowded last
evening to see Nasby's "Widow Bedott. !"
If continuous and uproarous laughter is
an evidence of appreciation, the per-
Torrance was highly successful. Mr.. G..
B. Bishop, as the widow, was intensely
comical, representing the garrulous old
woman to perfection. His makeup was
irresistibly laughable, and his acting
fully equal to that of those who have pre-
ceeded him in the role. While there is
nothing especially edifying in the play,
it serves to amuse an audience, without
offending their moral sensibilities in the
least. The Elder of Mr. Barrows was an
excellent representation. The play will
be repeated this afternoon and evening,
and large audiences may be looked for.

large, and assured success. There are
yet number of desirable sittings remain

the part of Michaela in Carmen" Miss
Darlington will sing Margherita in
"Mefistofele," and Miss Schirmer will
take the part of Airline in "The Bohemian

satisfactory, as they greatly strengthen
the cast.

LABOR strikes are seldom approved by
business men, but the pending strike of
the street car drivers and conductors
of Chicago seems to be very generally en-
dorsed by the public. The men are COM
PEELED to work about sixteen hours daily,
and receive mere pittance for their
worthless than ordinary day laborers
At the same time they are entrusted with
great responsibilities, and are compelled
to give bonds for the faithful discharge
of their duties Considering the hours
they are employed and the character of
their work, they are the poorest paid of
any class of lahoring men in the country,
and it is generally considered that their
demand for an increase of twenty per
cent. in wages is not unreasonable. There
has been little complaint from the pa
irons of the street cars because of the in
convenience occasioned by the strike, a
fact that is due to the general sympathy
of the public with the strikers, who have
thus far conducted themselves with COM
mendable propriety,

SQEEZING THE SHORTS.

The Hand of the Armours Seen in the Re-
markable Rise in Provisions in Chicago
Yesterday.
CHICAGO, April S.-There was marked ad-
vance IN provisions to-day, accompanied with
many rumors and much excitement. Prices
closed strong at about the highest figure for
the day. The immediate cause of the advance
was private dispatch said to be from high
official source in Paris that the French gov
eminent had decided to rescind
its recent action barring out
American provisions, but it is said
that the real and lasting cause of the extra
ordinary rise, amounting to ninety cents to a
dollar, in pork, and fifteen to twenty cents in
lard, is the strong hand of the Armonrs who
have secured the May options and are reaching
out after the June and July futures also.
Their purpose is said to be to squeeze the
shorts as heavily as the conditions of trade
and thd'rules of the board will permit.
