THE accomplished and genial critic of our
brilliant contemporary, The Republic asks: "If
" Miss Calhoun is second Nelson in Juliet, Julia,
and other star characters, why shouldn't she divide
=" the honors with Mccullough" Easy enough. You
should compare Miss Calhoun's power to ll theatre
with that of Mccullough when he was an unknown
but aspiring actor. Our genial critic appears less
genial than usual when he visits his displeasure
toward Mr.. Ford upon the head of 60 promising an
acquisition to the stage: Remember that Eleanor
Calhoun Is only eighteen. What would Mccullough
have done In rstcass roles twenty five years ago?'

THE NEW SENATOR.

Gov. Pillsbury concluded the Senatorial
distress yesterday by the appointment of
Gen. A. ]. Edgerton to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation of Mr..
Window. This appointment is credita-
BILE to the governor as well as agreeable
to the recipient. Gen. Edgerton is a
gentleman who will undoubtedly reflect
credit on the State. He shows his good
sense at the outset by declining
the compromise proposed by Cole and
accepting the situation with all that that
implies. The new Senator is thorough
ly reliable man, and his time will be
honestly given to his constituency. The
GLOBE congratulates both Gen. Edgerton
and Gov. Pillsbury upon the happy ter
mination of the contest.

Couldn't Settle for $1.25 and Wants q
Warrant.


Warrant.
A colored individual named Anderson
ambled into the police court yesterday
morning and asked to see the gemmen
who made out the warrants, whereupon
the genial Fairchild pricked up his ears
and came up smiling. The son Of Ham,
who is a shiftless looking African, carried
his arm in sling, and his nose, eyes and
mouth were in a state of perpetual
blubber He said he had been cut and
that he wanted justice. The clerk
asked him how much of the article he
would like to have He replied that
while fooling with an employee of the
Hotel of the Wild Hunter, last Saturday
the latter cut him in the head. He said
he had actually had the liberty of that
person in keeping for two days. Sunday
night he called on him for compromise;
he offered to settle for 81. so; the bean
fend couldn't see him; then he offered to
square it for $1.25, and yet
the hotel man wouldn't settle
He said he was convinced now that the
cutting had been done on purpose and he
wanted the man arrested The clerk
stated that he had better come down
another peg on his price, call it an even
dollar and settle. The hungry looking
coon bumped himself out.

1t Meets at its New Rooms-Plans for its
Future Quarters Discussed,
The Minnesota Historical society held a
regular meeting last night, at its temporary
rooms in the Market house. There was full
attendance.
The secretary read sundry letters from per-
sons in the East, sympathizing with the So
ciety in their loss, which the writer's were
led to infer, by the kilograms in the Associated
Press news, was almost total. The secretary
was ordered to prepare and send out circular
correcting these impressions, and informing
Eastern friends that it is continuing its work,
unimpaired.
Theo. G. Carter, of st. Peter, was elected an
active member.
adopted:
RESOLVED, That the Minnesota Historical
society hereby returns its most grateful thanks
to its numerous friends who SO nObly aided in
preserving its library and museum from loss
on the evening of March /, and our aeknowl-
edgment of the fact that, but for their gener-
Gus and energetic efforts, on that occasion, our
valuable collection would have been lost.
RESOLVED, that our thanks are due, and are
hereby gratefully rendered to Rev. w. c. Gan
nett, and to other members of Unity church
for the kindly and welcome offer of their
church building as place of deposit for the
property carried out from our rooms, and
much of which, but for this convenient and
acceptable place of refuge would have suffered
great loss.
Resolved that our thanks are also due tc
COL A. Allen, managing director of the st.
Paul Market lhouse, for his efforts to have
our present quarters made comfortable and
pr operiy prepared for our use.
Some debate occurred on the question as
to what permanent quarters the society should
seek to secure. A proposal was made
that an effort be put forth to build fire. proof
building for the society's own use. This was
generally considered to be lmpracticable just
now, and the best thing that could be done
would be to reoccupy the old quarters in the
capitol, but make them fire proof. The mat
ter was referred to the committee on building.
