western, is in st. Paul.
Messrs. Hill and Marvel, OF the st. Paul &
Manitoba road, left last night for the east,
and will be absent ten days.
Geo. w. Cushing, general superintendent OF
the Denver s. Rio Grande road, and formerly

Paul on q visit.
Mr.. R. NJ. Newport will be back Monday
next to resume his position at the head Of the

All the general agents will report to him.
It is possible that no land commissioner will
be appointed in place of Mr.. Marble until the
attempt to impair the land grant, which is now
being made in Washington is ended. Mr.. New
port will have charge of the land interests of
the company.
Mr.. Teasdale, the general passenger agent
OF the st. Paul & Omaha road, is engaged pre-
pairing new passengeritariff between st. Paul
and Chicago, by which the fare will be reduced
from the present figures. The new rates will
take effect on the 1st of March. Other changes
will be made OF similar character. that will
benefit the public, but no further or more def

EXCURSIONS.
Mr.. C. R. Cook, general agent of C. r. Cook
& Co., of Chicago, is in St. Paul. This firm
run excursion trains from the east into the
western states and territories for the purpose
OF transpOrtating persons who desire to pur-
chase lands. They sell regular excursion rate
tickets, and when the person bays the land, the
price OF the ticket is received as SO much cash
toward the payment for the land. The result
is that it costs person nothing for transpor-
tation to the place where he makes
the purchase. Heretofore Cook & Co..
have been running their excursion
trains out into Kansas, Nebraska and other
states, but the wheat fields of Minnesota and
Dakota prove too attractive for them and
there is more money too, probably, in running
their trains where the bulk of the emigration
is flowing. They will start four trains as
follows over the Albert Lea route: March 20,
April 26, May "a, and June rs; Mr.. Cook
will remain in St.: Paul long

CLEVELAND, Feb. &C. A. Withers, Jas.
D. Campbell, B. F. Krupe and Ferdinand
Schawarts, o committee appointed by ex-con-
federate soldiers residing in Cincinnati and Its
vicinity, arrived this morning. bringing with
them memorial tribute to James A. Gar
field, in the form Of eulogistic and sympa-
thetic resolutions, engrossed on parchment
and framed in vari.colored Tennessee marble,
highly polished and cut from single block
about two feet square, with the United States
coat of arms in Mexican Onyx inlaid at each
corner. The committee called upon Mrs. Gar
field this forenoon, selecting Washington's
birthday as an appropriate time, and formally
presented the testimonial, Maj G. A. Withers,
formerly ABUNDANT general Of Gen b. Nor
CAMS staff, making the following address.

and regret that have the honor, madam. OF
presenting to you this memorial of ex-confed-

voices in commentator of the lamented dead
with those of the many thousands Of COM
mon people, and the occasion which calls for
such sentiments Is as painful in Its rec
elections and as fully deplored by the people
of the South as by those of any other section.
The unanimity with which these resolutions
were passed and the expressions conveyed
| therein, speak more than any words, Of mine,
and you can rest assured, madam, that in them
is voiced the tribute of the old soldiers Of the
South to the sterling worth of the late presi-

Mrs. Garfield with great effort repressed
her emotion, while the old mother Of the late
president wept violently. Both ladies were
clad in the deepest mourning. The late presi.
dents widow, her voice trembling with emo

as follows: Gentlemen, am very grateful
to you, and to those from whom this beauti
| full gift comes, both for its sake and the senti
ment you express"
The two Hadames Garfield then examined
The memorial gift and expressed their admira

who said: "My heart went out in sympathy
| for the president. I volunteered to make thai

| Gen. Withers added that moreover 1t went

ex-coDfederates were not SO black as they
make us out TO be-"
| The younger Mrs. Garfield responded: "I

One Of the most fashionable tonsorial estab-

One Of the most fashionable tonsorial estab-
lishments in Philadelphia, Pa, is that of Mr..
Chas. Binder, at the northeast corner of
Seventh and Chestnut streets, under Guys
hotel. Mr.. Binder was soldier in the late
war, and for some years past he has had con-
slant reminders of his exposure in the field in
the way of rheumatic pains in different por-
lions of his body, and he has always found it
very difficult to obtain relief. Latterly the
disease mentioned attacked his knee-joints,
and Mr.. Binder suffered night, AID day. He
had both read and heard about the remarkable
properties of st. Jacobs Oil, and resolved to
give it a trial. Mr.. Binder says he is very glad
he did so, for he has found that rheumatism
and st. Jacobs Oil could not both hold posses
sion of his knee joints at the same time, and
whenever the Oil made movement in that
direction the rheumatism would beat a hasty
retreat. The disease made several attempts to
regain its old position, but was each time
routed by the Great German Remedy and has
broken camp and departed entirely. Mr..
Binder now has an exalted opinion of st.
Jacobs Oil, and whenever he hears one OF his
customers complain of rheumatism he ex-
claims: @Try st. Jacobs On:s4

THE sPRAGUE DIVORCE.
Decree Agreed Upon - scandolOus
Charges Withdrawn On Both Sides.


PROVIDENCE, R. l.. Feb. 22.-After the
equity docket was called Judge Durfee took up
the divorce docket and read down as far as
Katherine Chase Sprague vs.. William
sprague. Winchester Britton, who was pres.
emit as chief counsellor for Mrs. Sprague, said
that the counsel for the petitioner were pres
ent aud ready to proceed Immediately. All OF
the counsel in the case except Mr.. Parkhurst,
who did not attend court left the courtroom
and met down stairs and there con-
sultation was had which lasted .un-
till 1915 O'Clock, at which time Mr.. Case re-
turned to the court room and obtained ink
and stationery for the drawing up of decree.
Mr.. Hazard was seen in the court room few
minutes later, and from him it was learned
that the divorce matter had been amicably ad-
iusted. Only one prominent witness was
present-Tom Handy, the Jehu who drove
Mrs. Sprague from Canonchet to Wexford on
the night Of her memorable flight from King
ston. At Q o'clock the consultation was prac-
tically ct an end, and the terms OF
an amicable adjustment had been rough
ly drawn uD. It is learned from the
best authority that the following is the basis
of the settlement: First, Mrs. Sprague to
withdraw all charges OF criminality and adult
cry preferred in her bill; second, Gov. Sprague
Sprague to have divorce granted on the
grounds of desertion and non-support only;
fourth, Mrs. sprague to receive from the gov
erBor all her clothes, and her personal prop
erty now detained at Cononchet; fifth, the
question of alimony is not to be
considered under this decree, nor
to be made part Of it, but 1t is to be subject to
future consideration; sixth, Mrs. sprague is
to retain the custody Of the three girls, and
the governor is to retain the custody Of tt
boy Willie. Judge Hoadley, of CincinnafS
who was counsel for s. j. Tilden before the
electoral commission. was prominent in the
consultation in the interests of Mrs. Sprague,
and his wise couusels did much towards pre-
venting the breaking of negotiations In
the very spirited discussion OF
the case. Court adjourned until
tomorrow without any action being taken.
It is understood that certain personal mat
tiers, probably of property, are to be arranged
between Mr. and Mrs. Sprague before to.mor-
row morning, and that then decree in ac-
cordance with the above terms will be made.
If fortune again smiles on the governor, as it
is likely to from the present outlook, it is un-
derstood that he will provide for his wife and
children Handsomely,

Arthur Not Likely to Respect Garfield's
Mistake.

Mary Clemmer, the brilliant lady Wash
ington correspondent of a New York
paper, writes as follows:
GA little bird from very high perch
came flying through the air and
told me that General Longstreet
would succeed Secretary Hunt in
the navy department, that Judge
Folger would like the vacated seat Of
Senator Hunt and that Roscoe Conkling
would succeed Judge Folger as secretary
of the treasury 1t is not for
me to contradict a little bird flying
from the inner circle, but will never
believe its assertion concerning Roscoe
Conkling unless time makes it fact. l
will tell you, my friends, my reasons for
disbelieving it. | am not willing to
believe that President Arthur is
ready to repeat the most conspicu-
Gus mistake of Garfield's admin
istration-the mistake of choosing as
personal adviser or cabinet officer man
whose ambition and personality domi-
mates his own.
Contradicted and explained away as it
constantly is, the fact remains immutable
that Blaine did influence Garfield to that
fateful and fatal degree which may mark
the psychological and temperamental re-
lations between two persons of strong
mentality. Both are strong; but
the stronger will, the more perva-
sive selfishness, swathed in charm of
voice and speech, is the one that will
finally prevail.

APsRTIsAy ORGANIZATION.

The general agent of the Western As

sends out profuse apology for the dere-
LECTION of the Washington correspondent
of the association. The correspondent
was deceived and sent a statement of tes-
timony against Senator Sherman, when
no such evidence had been given
A great news agency like the
Associated Press should always
maintain the most scrupulous regard for
accuracy, especially when dealing with
the reputation of our public men--many
of whom cannot afford to jeopardize the
little that remains in that direction. But
the GLOBE wonders Gust little) whether
Mr.. Smith would have been so anxious
to defend the reputation of the associa-
ton and vindicate the party enormously
assailed, if it had been a prominent
Democrat who was slandered, instead of
the man who had kept him in fat office
for four years?
The Associated Press has been notori-
ously partisan for years, and its labors
have been in behalf of the Republican
party. In the campaign of 1876 and the
stormy days of the false count and fraud
ulent decision, the grossest partisanship
prevailed in the character of the news
sent over the wires. 1t was a
common thing to take specials
from the Cincinnati Gazette and other Re-
publican papers and load them on the
wires for general distribution. Mr.. Smith
INDUCED in long screeds in the Chicago
Tribune and other papers in behalf of
Hayes. These communications were
not printed as coming from the
general agent of the associated press,
but they in reality ranked as such, and
they served as a practical notice to every
associated press agent in the country that
if he wished to render himself ssolid'' with
the association, it was only necessary to
indulge in partisanship in his kilograms,
provided he championed the same side
advocated by the general agent. Follow
ing the fraudulent counting in of Hayes,
Mr.. Smith accepted lucrative Office
collector of the port of Chicage-at the
hands of Hayes and Sherman, but
still maintained his position in
the Associated Press. The tacit
and implied instructions to every associ-
ated press agent for the four years which
Mr.. Smith held this office, was that they
were to bolster up the Republicans upon
every reasonable opportunity, and right
well they have done their work.
The general agent has issued no apol-
ogles and explanations relative to the
numerous displays of partizahship relative
to Mr.. Tilden and other prominent Dem
ocrats which have been sent to the asso-
oiationby the agents. Those were evil
IDENTIFY not serious, because they assailed
the Democracy.
The GLOBE maintains that above all
others the general agent of the Associa-
ted Press should neither hold any politl-
cal Office or publicly champion any pelit-
cal party. He should be collec-
tor and dissemination of valuable
intelligence and to do this
he must being partisanshlp out of sight.
