miscellaneous Neax,S Notes.

On Wednesday Sam Stevenson, we'll
known gambler, died in Omaha. The de-
ceaeed was born of Ethiopian parentagc, and
was in reality negro, but before his death
suffered a transformation, whichleft him
whittier than the average representative of
the Caucasian race. The body, as it lay in
the coffin at the undertaker's rooms was
that of an aged, venerable looking man.
His hair was straight, as we'll as his beard,
which was worn full, white as the driven
snow. The only marks which indicated
that he was other than white parentage,
were two black spots OH the forehead,
black circle under each eye small spots on
the hands, and rim Of dark skin about the
edges of the ears.
Maj C. NJ. Wilson of Cook county,
contractor for building the harbor of re-
fuge at Grand Marais, LOG miles northeast of
Duluth, on the north shore of Superior told

accepted by the government. There are
seven cribs with an aggregate length of $50
feet, and inside dredging has been done SO
at to give depth offourteen feet. Maj. Will
son says the harbor will be of great benefit
to many vessels.

The late rebellion in the Massachusetts,

The late rebellion in the Massachusetts,
state prison is solely attributed to the
meddlesome interference to which with
in the last two years it has been subject
cd by those whose sympathies for GRIM
inals outweigh judgment. It is the re-
suit of endea7oring to shape the discip-
line Of the prisons so that as many priv
ileges as possible should be granted its
inmates. The prisoners had become re-
fractory and looked outside the prison
for sympathy and support in the most
palpable acts of INSTRUMENTATION, and at
last refused en- masse to obey their keep
ers The infexible attitude of the war;
den calls forth the approval of every
right minded citizen, for on his irmness
depends not his welfare alone but that
of an institution that has been terror
to evil-t oers, and thus safeguard to
society, that in these days of moral lax
ity cannot afford to lose or to have weak
ened any of the means of protection from
those who would prey upon it either by
violence or by fraud.

From Foreign Lands.

An Ottawa, Can, dispatch says: The gov
eminent will appoint energetic emigration
agents at different scaports and at Chicago,
St. Paul and other localities to secure all EN-
grants and others who are tempted by the
railroad and other agents to locate in the
states. The strongest inducements will be
offered to locate in the Northwestern Terri
tories and Manitoba. An energetic enligra-
ton policy will therefore be expected OH the
part of the Dominion.

The hundred and seventh anniversary

The hundred and seventh anniversary
Of the so-called Mecklenbugr Declara-
ton of independence of 1873 was lately
celebrated at Charlotte, N. c. 1t has
been claimed for this declaration that it
not only preceded but inspired the de-
raration by the congress Of 1876, but
documents have been unearthed which
proved that the Mecklenburg declara-
is clumsy canard, and that its first pub
lication was in the year 1919. People
who believe that Columbus did not dis
cover America and that Shakespeare did
not write Shakespeare's plays are Of just
the sort who will believe that Thomas
Jefferson did not write the Declaration
of Independence, and that its realauthor
was some unknown crank.

Reports are again current that the
star route trials will amount to nothing,
and that the thieves will escape punish
ment. The atmosphere of Washington
is not conducive to public justice against
fraud in high places. 1t seems to be
considered smart thing to swindle the
government-not crime but an exhibit
ton of daring enterprise which entities
the actors to very charitable consider
;.tions, such as smugglers received in the
'olden time, and even at this day. The
offences are not analogous in any other
respect, for public robbery by SWIM
and trusted officers of the government
is q very different thing than smuggling,
Illicit idistillationa and raany other offences,
and should he severely punished.

The note of warning is continually
sounded with reference to our increas-
ing imports and decreasing exports,
pointing to the fact that it is not because
we are importing raw material the man.
ulfacture Of which would add to our in
dustries and wealth, that the uncomfort-
able contrast exists, but because we are
importing articles of luxury which we
could we'll do without, or goods which
come in competition with our own man.
ufacturers It is we'll enough to sound
these notes of warning, especially when
the times are at their best, for people
who are afraid Of storms and distrust
their own ability to weather them, will
naturally Shorten sail. But for all that,
the largo majority of those who have
money, and who make it easily, will
spend it freely and even extravagantly
The time for close saving always comes
when necessity comes hardest. 1t is the

On Thursday, in Washington, the pro-

hush fell upon the spectators, and counsel
lister ed eagerly as the clerk put the usual

The spectacle of men in overcoats and
women in shawls and warm wraps, at
Minnetonka, White Bear Lake and 9th
or local watering places, has been very
common during this month, and hence
many think such people would have
been better off at home. Possibly, in
some respects, they might have been
more comfortable, but it does not follow
that they did not receive the usual ben
etits of lakeside life. Very likely the
real good was greater than if the mer-
curry was up among the nineties. The
change of air is the main thing. Deni-
zens Of cities and of the prairies find lake
breezes very grateful to lungs and pores

Death of Captain j. III. Reaney.

Capt. John Hay Reaney, one of St. Paul's
best known and most esteemed citizens:
died last Wednesday afternoon Of organic
heart disease. His passing away was sud-
den, but not altogether unexpected, as his
had. little orno hope that he would
ever be able to leave his bed again. Capt.
Reancy was born May II, 1885, at
Pittsburg Pa. He came to Minnesota in
1852 or 1858, and was therefore one of the
pioneers in the development of the North
west. He began steanboating soon after
wards and commanded various boats At
the time of his death he was the agent of the
St. Louis and St. Paul Packet company, and
was not only the St. Paul agent, but was the
confidential friend of Commodore Davidson
and his adviser in all his river enterprises.
The relat ons Of the two men were more like
those Of brothers than employer and emf
ploye. Capt. Reaney was widely known
among river men, from St. Paul to New
Orleans, and all the western waters. He was
member Of the Ancient Landmark Lodge,
and of the Damascus Commandery.
