Bank Crippled By Deals t,s Chicago.

WATERFOWL, n. Y. Feb. 1S.-The directors

Kenyon is said to have drawn $50, 600 and sent
to Chicago. 1t is stated A. W. Eddy, another
director, who assigned to day, drew a much
larger amount. Among the deposits is $780,
COO of Jefferson county funds, aud $25 900 of

Il 81. Passl Lady amateur.


A late number of the Portland Origoai-
an, in speaking of the amateur perform
ance of the Handel e.. Hayden society of
that city, in the "Chlmes of Normandy"
has the following notices of Mrs. G. 81.
Woodward, formerly Miss Carrie Officer,
of St. Paul, where she was well and
favorably known in society, this being
her native city:
Mrs. Woodward played the part of Serpolette
rather timidly during the first act, as though
she were feeling her way with her audience;
but in the scene at the fair she warmed up and
began 10 show o little more of the abandon
which is necessarily associated with the part.
She began to be decidedly jolly in the trio with
Grenichaux ard the Ballie in the haunted
tower, and in the fourth act her galety of
manner was all that could be desired. Her
dress as the sol disant Comt-sse de Lucensy
was very rich, and she locked very pyetty in il,
though she needs practice in handling train.
Yet where you will see one debu'ante equal htr
in stage business you will see a hundred fall
behind her.
The musical correspondent of the car
izonian" in speaking of the same per-
Torrance, says:
To Mrs. Woodward, who took the ungra-
cious part Of ''Serpolette,'' must be given
need of almost unqualified approval. Hav-
ing no difficulty IN mastering the music of
the part, she bent her energies thoughtfully
to study of the action, and as the tremor of
first appearance wore away, 'Serpolette'
improved into a very clever performance.
Another musical critic in the same pa
per has the following:
I had determined to give Mrs. Woodward
all the sympathy keep ready for anybody
who undertakes to manage "Serpolettee,"
but she proved quite Independent of 1t. The
The "good for naught" rarely finds such IA
vor with an audience, and the music by far
the most difficult in the opera, Was sung sd
mirably. It was small wonder that she
should commence this part nervnusly, but
| she warmed braVe]y up to her work in the
second act, and danced off on her little feet 10
the ar of, "Now I'll Wear Satin Gown
with a spirited swing that would have done
credit to Emile Melville.
For an amateur, these notices are quite
complimentary, coming as they do, from
professional critics.

SCARCITY OFF HOUSES. REMEDY SUG
GESTED

SCARCITY OF HOUSES. REMEDY SUG-
| GESTED
Notwithstanding the great amount OF
building during last season, we enter
upon another, with the same complaint
of scarcity of residences and business
houses. There is not vacant store to be
found on any of the business streets, nor
is there to be found a residence in any
pleasant neighborhood, withouta tenant.
Real estate offices are beseiged at all
hours by parties in search of some place
to live or some store in which to begin a
business, and we have been informed by
prominent real estate agent that he
could let one hundred residences within
ten days if he had that number on his
books, at monthly rental from SIS to
$50 per month. The time was in this
city when those in search of tene-
ment houses were particular as to
frontage, yard shade, etc., but these are
not now enquired for; the only question
asked is: "Can you let me have shelter
for myself and family"
Now, cannot the want be supplied
Cannot some of our capitalists be Undue
ed to improve their let's, and not only
make them source Of revenue, but also
furnish homes for those who wish to cast
their fortunes with US? It may look
strange, yet it is true. that there are doz-
ems Of gentlemen engaged in business in
st. Paul who are compelled to reside in
some of the suburban towns where rents
are cheap in consequence Of an abund-
ance Of houses in excess of the wants of
their own population. We are all deeply
interested in the growth of our city, but
how can we expect increase of population
by new corners, unless we can furnish
them with houses in which to shelter
themselves and families.
The various building associations are
doing a good work, but they decline to
lend money for building unless the Dor
rover owns his own lot free and clear
from all encumbrances
mere are many persons VINO cannot
purchase lots and pay cash for them, and
hence they must rent, and men of means
must build for them, otherwise they can
not remain with us and aid by their in
dustry, thrift and enterprise in building
up OUR city.
Individual effort to supply houses will
do much in the way of supplying homes
for the homeless, but cannot an associa-
ton be formed by a number of persons to
buy lots and improve them, for sale to
such persons as wish to own their own
homes?
Ii fifty, or more persons, were to form
an association and each member con-
tribute $1,000, fund sufficiently large to
begin with would thus be created. Lots
could be purchased and improved, and
sold on long time at a low rate of interest,
to be paid semi-annually, the association
securing itself by notes and mortgages.
These securities, guaranteed by the asso
citation, could be readily sold in the east,
and the proceeds again invested. This
scheme seems feasible, and if carried out
would add thousands to our population,
and prove greatly remunerative to the
stockholders or members Of the associa-
ton. VIII not some of our leading men
give it trial!

A Valuable AcuuisitiOn.

There arrived in St. Paul yesterday by the
Omaha road, Hon. Robert Destey, of San Fran
cisco, who comes to make s.. Paul his per-
manent home. he has a national reputation
as legal writer, and is the author of 'Destey's
Federal Relations" "Destey's Federal Proceed
ings," "Destey's Criminal Law" and several
other works. His services have been secured
by the West Publishing company, and he viii
become the editor in chief of the Federal Re-
Porter, the most comprehensive law journal
In the United States. The legal fraternity of
ST. Paul, as well as the West Publishing COM
pauy, are to be congratulated upon Mr.

AMONG the reforms which the new street
car company viii do well to lnaugurate
will be the positive prohibition of smok-
ing in the cars. The cars are frequently
too vile and foul for able bodied
men, and absolutely lntolerable
for ladies and children. Between the
lamps and the pipes and cigars especial
ly on the Fort street ine) there is scarcely
an evening when the cars are fit for occu-
pancy. AS the company will now be
owned and managed by our own people,
there is no doubt the remedy Will be ap-
piled.

But man could never work alone, and even in
Eden's bowers
BE pined for woman's smile to cheer his task
of tending flowers;
And soon a fair young bride is sought and
found to bless the youth,
Who gives, for his protecting hand, her heart
of love and truth.
Aad now his work has higher aims, since she
its blessings shares;
And oft her hand will roses strew, where his
would scatter tares;
And, like light within a vase, his home en-
shrined her form,
Which brlghtens DER his world tossed mind,
like sunshine DER the storm;
And when she pleads in sorrows cause, he can
not choose bat hear,
And when her soul with heaven enmmunes,
she draws his spirit near"

THE "REv.o Mr.. MILNE, of Chicago, is
surprised that his church (the Unitarian, for
merry Mr.. Collyer's) do not want his services
any longer. He is one of the advanced think
ers' of the age, and why he should claim the
title of Reverend" when in his view there
is nothing reverend or reverential in the uni
verse is little remarkable. He wants to run
church without prayer, without hymns,
without God, without Heaven, without
He'll, without Immortality! Is such an insti-
tuition, based upon the most enormous svowal
of atheistic belief Church in the generally
accepted meaning Of such al organization?
However much the church, 50 called, to which
this Mr.. Milne has ministered, may fall be-
standard, it is no wonder that it's
members have displaced from their pulpit SO
bold, defiant and aggressive an atheistic inf
del. What is q church without Savior, a
world without God?
TIE scientific results of the Jeanette expe-
dition are claimed by the Boston Advertiser to
be extremely important. That paper says:
"The average depth of the sea covered by the
Jeanette is extremely slight, and places it on
par with the Baltic, which it resembles also
in the remarkably slight action of the tides.
The inference from this would be that the
Attic sea north of Siberia is practically, AMI
possibly in fact, an inland sea-far more, for
instance, than the Adriatic OF the Gulf of
Mexico, but not unlike the German sea. The
salt character of the water has not been
reported. but enough is known to justify and
to determine further explorations. The
chances are that the amount OF sea covered by
Mr.. Benefits vessel at any one time is
"slight;;" but why this should place the boat
on 9 par with the Baltic has not yet been

in final excellence. The same may be

completely surprised the audience, his
friends and even the other members of

almost faultless in execution, round and
