Luverne, Rock county, Herald, Nov. 3:
The prairie fire which swept across the
northern part of the county during the
terrific gale last Saturday, was one of the
most extensive yet reported, and so far as
we have beenl athletic learn destroyed consid-
cradle property. The losses in Rose Dell
| township were as follows: w. D. Meow
an, one stack of wheat; T. T. Vickerman,
ten acres of trees and one stack of oats:
j. j. Vickermann, forty tons of hay; G. S.
Bruce, ten tons of hay. The fire is sup
posed to have started in Dakota three or
four days previous. In consequence of
the fierce wind the strip burned over was
narrow, but the fire swept onward with
frightful rapidity, leaping over creeks and
fre-breaks and taking no heed of all
efforts to check its resistless fury.

Paris Letter to London Globe. I

Paris Letter to London Globe.
Mademoiselle Claire Gambetta, artiste
lyriQue, has been interviewed by one of
the heutenants of NJ, Arthur Mayer, who
found the young lady singing at a cafe
ckantant at Nantes, in the midst of clouds
of tobacco smoke and the fumes of beer
and spirits. Mademoiselle Gambetta.
who sings very fairly, declares that she is
the paternal cousin of the quondam host
of the Palais Bourbon. but that while the
Gambettas Of Cahors made a fortune in
the grocery trade, her father, who settled
down at Orange, was compelled to
earn his living as plas-
terer. Mademoiselle Claire adds that she
never asked her cousin for anything until
her father died in 1876, when, left alone
with her mother and an aunt, she made an
| appeal to the head of the Republican party
She came to Paris and sent request to
NJ. Gambetta inclosing him certain family
papers which proved her identity. He
| kept the papers and sent her thirty francs
| by NJ. Saint Martin. who told her she must
| expect nothing more from her cousin. NJ
Naquet, deputy for the department from
| which Mile. Gambetta came, tried
to get up subscription for the young
lady among his colleagues, but wher
| they knew that the Republican leader dis
| approved of the idea, they buttoned uI
| their pockets. Last of all, the young girl
! was compelled to make use of her voice
| She has practised and taken lessons, earn
| ing the applause of her audience, and re.
| ceiving fattering offers from agents anx
| ious that she should come to Paris.
Mademoiselle Claire Gambetta reminds
one of the persons whose names are in
| separable from the anecdotes related re-
speeding the men of the day. NJ. Theirs had
| a sister, Madame Report, who kept table
d'hote in the Rue Drouot, and who delighted
| the Parisians with broad calico adver
| tisement, hung from window to window,
| bearing the following inscription: ''Table
d'Hote, kept by Madame Report, nee
| Theirs, sister to the Prime Minister" But
this did not prevent her dying in state
of restitution while the petit bourgeois, he1
brother, was president of the Republic.
Under the Empire Mdlle. de Bleschamps
who declared that she was the daughter OF
Lucien Bonaparte by his marriage with a
lady of that name, announced herself every
where as cousin of the Emperor and engag
ed herself to sing at cafe chantant at vi
chy when Napoleon III. was staying at that
place. The emperor, always liberal anG
open-handed, found that the chanteuse had
some claim on him, and his purse was at
once opened to her. She received enough
money to enable her to retire from the
stage and live independently, even after
the fall of the empire. Perhaps NJ. Gam.
beta, who is reported to be very rich, will
pursue the same course with regard to his
cOu sin.

Chores and Stockings.
Philadelphia Progress

Black stockings come high, but girls
must have them. Gloves are said to be as
long as stockings, which is like saying
that something is as big as piece of
chalk. How long are stockings? Sensa-
tional fashion writer's say there are stock
ings as long as ballet dancers tights. It
would be problem to put on gloves long
as that. There is fresh effort, say these
sensational writer's, to have it la mode to
wear stockings of different colors, as black
for one leg and white for the other. It
would not be queer, all things considered,
if it had something of success. Women
will obey almo st any bizarre fashion if it

The Nickel Plate.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 6.-Judge Stevenson
Burke and Gen. J. H. Devereaux, have re.
turned from New York, where they made
the second payment on the Nickel Plate
stock, and purchased 100000 shares in ad-
dition to the large block. Judge Burke
said to Western Associated Press report
er, that temporary agreement for ter
minal facilities at Chicago and Buffalo
will be made to-day, and that he and Gen
Devereaux will go into the board of direc-
tors within few days. Vacancies are to
be made for them. He said that last week
the general officers of the road rendered
their designations, but were requested to
remain for the present. He thinks few, if
any changes will be made in the officers
and employees. Being asked if Vanderbilt
is behind or interested in the purchasing
syndicate, he replied that he disliked to
appear mysterious about the matter, but
business relations made it necessary for
him not to state, as other important
changes are about to be made.s "You may
say" he remarked, shat the Nickel Plate
will be operated in close harmony with the
three C's & I, and the Hooking Valley"
''Is the syndicate the same as the Hook
ing Valley syndicate!'' asked the re-
porter.
Judge Burke replied that the list is not
fully made up yet but the inference may
be drawn that some of the same parties are
In both, as he took 35 per cent. of the
Hooking Valley interest himself. He ex-
poets the Nickel Plate will be in the pool.
and get its share of the business, the policy
being to maintain not cut rates. The
eastern elections will be close with the
leigh Valley and Delaware, Lackawanna
d Western, but Judge Burke expects
also to cooperate with the Erie, New York
Central, & West Shore d Buffalo. He
illustrated the att itude of the NickelPlate
toward Lake Shore by sa 7ing it would be
like two men going into any business side
by side, each seeking to make what he
can in business like way. The whole
tenor of his conversation implied that the
Nickel Plate will be operated independ-
emily of the Lake Shore interest. Being
inquired as to future payments on stock
purchased, he replied that a million will be
paid the first of every month. The last
payment will not be made prior to the an
nual meeting of the road Jan. II. He was
asked if the syndicate will be allowed to
vote the stock. He said it is part of the
contract of purchase that the syndicate
shall vote the stock at the next meeting
and assume control. Judge Burke Incl
dentally said he has private information
he believes to be correct that the Grand
Trunk will buy the West Shore & Buffa-
10. Negotiations for the purchase being
now in progress.

Stories .iLOut Musical Parties,
St. James Gazette.

There was once hostess who kept in
her drawing room two pianos-a good one
for herself and the feeble amateurs of her
acquaintance who, she said, ''did not hurt
it,; and bad one for professional plan
lists, who, when they good naturally offered
to play to her, were allowed to do their
worst upon an instrument which they
could not injure; but which at the same
time de6ed their efforts to produce daz-
zling effects. This lady, however, knew
what she was about, and, from views of
economy, which many will think errone-
Gus, declined for the sake of little tenn
porary show to have her property dam
aged.
Another lady, who possessed piano
which had once been good, and who was
really unaware of the effect which times
effacing fingers had had upon its ancient
brilliancy, asked "a famous German plan
ist to perform upon it, and, after he had
obEgingly done so, was rash enough to
ask him what he thought of it. Since
you press me for an opinion" replied the
eminent artist, Il will tell you first that
your piano wants new wires, and, secondly,
that the hammers want new leathe.
And while you are about it," he
continued, gradually boiling up,
with your new leather you had better
have new wood, and when your instrument
is thus repaired the best thing you can do
with it will be to make it into firewood and
have it burned" One of the most success
full of our London managers, asked how
it was that, unlike other managers, he
meyer quarreled with any of his company,
replied that he never quarreled with them
because he humored them and treated
them like children. Perhaps musical art
lists ought also to be treated like children.
But even to child one ought not to give
worthless toy.

Chamber of Commerce.
The meeting of the board of directors of
the chamber of commerce yesterday
morning was not very important one.
P. s. McManus was elected director in
place of h. P. Hall, resigned.
The following, offered by Mr.. Cochran,
was adopted:
RESOLVED, That the secretary be requested
to prepare and submit to the chamber
next Monday morning statement shown
what part of the city has not been can
vassed, and what portion might be can
vassed again for subscription to member
ships, and to provide committees for
every day of next week to make collec
tions in those districts.
Capt. Berkey called the attention of the
chamber to the fact that about year ago
a committee was appointed to confer with
Mr.. Merrill, of the Milwaukee road, as to
the Hastings & Dakota road coming into
st. Paul, and that Mr.. Merrill at that time
promised that it should come here, but it
had not come. He also called the atten-
ton of the members of the board
to the fact that the Milwaukee road was
building a warehouse on the levee. He
desired to have the chamber ascertain by
what authority the public levee was being
used in that way, and if the rights of the
city we're protected.
Mr.. Murray replied that the railroad was
working under an ordinance adopted
by the council, and that all the rights of
the city were protected by the ordinance.
He promised to report the ordinance at
the next meeting. As to the Hastings &
Dakota road, it was on its way here, and
would come into the city soon.
The following, offered by Mr.. Cochran,
was adopted:
Resolred, That the committee on trans
pertation be requested to consider the i'm
mediate establishment of passenger de-
pots upon Eagle and Fort streets, to con-
with the city authorities and those of the
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad company
concerning the matter and to report the
result of these conferences to the chamber.
