Quebec Pier Ready for Business

The Quebec pier and dock has been
completed and is now fully ready for
shipping business. Mr.. c. Brincker-
hoH, architect for the n. P. railroad
company, prepared the plans for this
work, and has had general supervision
over the same, while Mr.. Morand &
McGill have drove the piles, done the
dredging and other work necessary to
the job. The plan for the improve
ment was a model of simplicity,
strength and durability, which ably at
test Mr.. Brinckerhof''s ability as an
architect, and the neat, workmanlike
manner in which the work was per-
formed BY contractors Morand & Me
Gill show that the county was fortu-
nate and did a wise thing when it
gave them the work. The dredges
cleared out about the dock to depth
Of about eighteen feet and area large
enough for any vessel to turn about
in with ease and safety. Mr.. Johns
ton has repaired the warehouse and
put it in good shape for handling
freight, and Quebec pier is now all
ready for business. The cost Of these
Improvements, aside from what Mr..
Johnston expended, is $500.

Wholesale Farming.

Newspaper correspondents writ

very enthusiastic over the mammoth
farms Of Dakota, There are single
farms there OF tens OF thousands Of
acres. Ono callod tho Bonanza
farm, and owned by Oliver Dairy
mple, embraces fifty square miles Of
contiguous territory. In Cass
County there are four farms with
combined extent OF 5000 acres
These big farms arc ownod in almost
every instance by non-residents,
often by syndicate Of capitalists,

And proudly arched his sturdy back
And bent his horned head.

As bound to hold his own

The engine whistled shrill, but no,
To leave he did not choose.

A challenge from each horn

And fast the train rolled on
He heard the engines laboring breath
The thunder OF the train,
Yet stubbornly, his post of death,
Determined to maintain.
Then came sudden. fearful shock,
The goat-oh! where was he

With fragments scattered free

For naught but disconnected scraps

A WOMAN'S OPINION.
what Blanche Roosevelt Says About Mrs
Langtry.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

LanStry.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Mrs. Blanche Roose-
welt Machetta, who came over from Eng
land In the same steamer with Mrs. Lang
try and Mrs. Labouchere, arrived in Chi
cago yesterday. She says that on the
steamer Mrs. Langtry was constantly in
the company of first one gentleman and
then another. Mrs. Labouchere spoke to
her several times,and finally Mrs. Langtry
told her she did not want her to interfere
IN her affairs. Mrs. Machetta says that
the cause of Mrs. Langtry's social failure
in New York was that she did OF take
the advise of Mrs. Labouche re,who wished
her to have more dignity and not make her
self the object of comment. Her prosperity
disturbed her head little. There was too
much admiration, and when Mrs. Labouch-
ere cautioned her, as friend or sister
would do, for her own good, Mrs. Langtry
thought she ought not be dictated to. Mrs.
Labouchere said that Mrs. Langtry could
not do justice to herself by the course she
was taking; that she ought to keep herself
quiet and not make herself common; that
the round of dinners, parties, and reahears-
ais with little sleep, was too great tax on
her. She felt hurt when her advice was
disregarded. "You must choose between
u.s." Mrs. Labouchere finally said, and Mrs.
Langtry replied, angrily: "My choice is
already made" Mrs. Langtry afterwards
repented and sought a reconciliation in
every way. Mrs. Machetta says that Mrs.
LangtrY is remarkable as novice on the
stage. She is really natural, simple and
childlike, and is very clever woman. She
has beautiful voice, but is not as pretty
by so per cent. as she used to be, and is not
a very good dresser. The explanation of
Mrs. Langtry's conduct was that she has
had too much prosperity. She was too vain,
perhaps. She was too artless, but not
vicious, and unfortunately her tact was not
comparable with her beauty.
Mrs. Machetta thinks that
Mrs. Langtry will be a success and will go
on piling up wealth and notoriety. She
says Mrs. Labouchere's proceedings in
Virginia were merely TO protect business
interests. Mrs. Labouchere was divorced
from MIR. Pigeon in England several years
ago. She is coming back with her husband
to make tour Of the country. Mrs.
Langtry said at Philadelphia yesterday
that she had not had time to go into So
ciety since her arrival in America. Her
visit was purely professional one. Had she
come for social pleasures her husband
would have accompanied her. She was
compelled to decline many kind invitations
in New York and Boston on account of
her professional duties. She said that
Mr.. Langtry's sister would arrive on Tues
day and would be her companion while she
remained in America. She drove out with
Mr.. Gebhardt yesterday, and visiting a
jewelry shop, was followed and stared at
by a crowd of people.

ISt. James Gazette.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 24.-The entire coun-
try was thrilled by general feeling of hor-
ror when the papers this morning brought
the details of the execution of criminal
in provincial place the previous day.
According to the Danish law, criminals
condemned to death suffer the last penal
ty of the law by decapitation
by means of an ak, the block
being placed at some conspicuous point as
near as possible to the place where the
murder was committed. A man con-
demned to death was to be executed
yesterday morning, and as u.s.
ual, a large crowd of people from the
surrounding districts had assembled round
the spot. only one constable being present
to keep order. When the usual formali-
ties were gone through, the criminal laid
his head on the block; but the eye and the
hand of the executioner, who had been
drinking heavily on the previous day, were
uncertain, and the stroke fell over the
shoulders. the criminal uttering smoth-
ing cry of pain. The executioner wrench
ed the ak out of the wound, welded it
again and struck the criminal high upon
the back of the head; again.he wrenched
the az out of the wound, and succeeded
at last in cutting the head off. The
crowd rushed to the headless
trunk, some to try to catch some drops of
blood, which the peasants think has some
kind of magical effect to cure certain dis
eases, others to satisfy their morbid curl
oslty; in fact, horrible and disgusting
scene took place, several men and women
fainting. Every one agrees that such a
disgraceful spectacle must never more
take place in Denmark; and the minister
of justice has already, with praiseworthy
speed, declared his intention to bring in
short bill providing for execution by
means of the guillotine, and within the
precincts of prison

ham company, was given at the Opera
house last evening to large,
fashionable and appreciative au-
fence The GLOBE has already given its
verdict as 10 the merits of the play and
the company presenting it. Of the play
it need only be said that none but first
class artists could make it success. This
the Wyndham company have accomplished.
Every character is a gem in itself, and all
combined make a most enjoyable and
satisfying entertainment. Brighton" will
be repeated at the matinee this afternoon.
The company will conclude their farewell
performance in st. Paul, with
the one-act comedy of "Ruth's Ro-
nance followed by the comedy entitled

critics of the East unite in saying, appear
to equally as good advantage as in

CINCINNATI, Dec. 22.-The committee ap-

to confer with the Cincinnati brewers and
induce them to join the association, arrived
to-day, and spent the day and evening try
ing to effect that object. There is no or
ganization of Cincinnati brewers; hence no
joint action could be taken. The commit
tee will remain Tomorrow to see if it can
do anything by individual effort. The
Cincinnati brewers seem indisposed to join
the association.

The Great List Organ

Now On exhibition at Dyer g. Towards is GER
tai:ily the finest reed organ ever heard in st.
Pau, being the only one of the kind ever
brought here. 1t is an exact counterpart of
The one manufactured by Mason g. Hamlin es-
pecially forthe Able List, the Prince of Plan.
ISIS, from whom 1t takes its name. That great
artist has recently ordered second one, and the
company have decided to manufacture them for
the trade. This style of organ has been used to
accompany 1000 voices with entire success. 1t is
Just the thing for churches which cannot afford
to buy pipe organ. Indeed, the congregation
which possesses one of these instruments will
not feel the need of anything larger. Call and
examine it at $50 East Third street.
