the committee on streets and parks to the
subject of boulevards or drives about the
city. st. Paul had passed through the
incipient stages of city and had reached
period when the subject of improvement
and adornment should be looked after,
and now was the time to secure drives
about the city that would enhance the
value OF property far beyond the cost of
! the improvement.
Mr.. McClung desired Mr.. Drake and
| other gentlemen of taste to put their
views in writing and send them to the
committee.
Mr.. McClung offered the following,
which was adopted:
WHEREAS, This chamber inaugurated the
| scheme for building a boom near st. Paul,
| and about $50, 900 has been expended in the
| construction and for a sluceway at the falls
of st. Anthony, and it is now reported to be
in successful operation, furnishing supplies
| for the successful and profitable running Of a
| saw mill and planning mill and cheap fuel in
| abundance for the profitable manufacture of
| flour by steam.
ResoIued. That in order to invite the intro
duction of other mills and manufactures, the
president o! said mill company is respectfully
requested to report to this chamber what are
the facilities for supplying logs, and whether
there is now any obstacle to the successful
establishment of saw mills, -four mills and
other manufactures 20 any limit desired.

the press the following statement:
Much has been said in regard to my re-
signing, and of the purposes of the lega-
ton of Guatemala in Washington. l can
not accept so many mistakes and SO many
errors, some of them rather gross, and
hasten to say that in the course of my
conversation with Blaine neither money
questions nor the union of Central
America nor annexation of any territory
was mentioned. 1t is true / have pro-
posed to him the meditation of the United
States in the territorial differences be-
tween Guatemala and Mexica, and went
so far as to suggest to him means which
could be adopted to obtain said end. My
resignation was not motived by anything
published by the newspapers as to this
movement, but by the cause expressed
in my letter of August Sd to General
Barrios.

Winning the Race With an Inferior Horse.
From the San Francisco Chronicle

The writer met the jockey of Ruther-
ford while dining at the winter palace in
st. Petersburg short time after that
huge sporting wrangle, and in the course
of conversation on turf matters, the as
tute prodder of horsefiesh said, with a
childlike and ingenious smile.
"Would you like to know the dead in
side facts as to how that race was won?"
'Why, you rode the best horse, didn' u
you? we asked.
mot bit of it," replied the jockey,
with grin. "The fact was that Ruther-
ford was only about the fourth choice,
and was not rated at more than eighth
or ninth In the pools. True Blue, Katy
Pease and Thad Stevens all had the call
over Ruthy. But it happened that my
horse was 'bolter,' and to steady him
and prevent his flying the track put
binders and goggles on him. You no.
ticed them, suppose?"
"There were two horses rugged that
way" we replied.
EXACTLY; Stevens was a nervous crit
ter also, and as soon as his trainer saw
how the goggles steadied my horse he
put 'em on Thad too. The day before
the race big idea occurred to me. l got
couple of pairs of magnifying lenses
and quietly put 'em in place of the plain
glasses in the goggles of both horses.
Catch on to the ideaf"'
"Well, partly"
"The only difference was that in
Stevens's brides fastened the glasses
with the bulge inside, so as to make
them diminishing glasses, don't you see?"
Looking through the wrong end of an
opera glass, eh!'-
exactly. The result was that while
Rutherford was encouraged all the way
by the course seeming only couple of
hundred yards long, the quarter flags ap-
peared ten miles apart to Stevens. You
see horse can be discouraged just as
well as man."
'sGreat scheme, that"
"Well, l should smile. Ruthy thought
he was in for little quarter race, and it
kept up his heart, so that when he had
nearly done the last mile and
swung into the homestretch and called
on him to let out his last link,
he thought the judges stand
was right under his nose,
so he came home like an express train on,
a down grade, but Stevens, who thought
he had about fifteen miles further to go,
went all to pieces, as you remember, and
almost lay down on the track, be was SO
mentally caved in, as it WERE"

George Robinson is an irate painter. His
passion when aroused is seemingly uncontrol.
able. He had few words with q workman
named T. Rogers. Shortly after when Rogers
was engaged in conversation with another man,
Robinson stepped up and dealt him terrible
blow with nail hammer, inhicting danger
Gus wound upon the side of his head. He
struck the unsuspecting victim of his wrath
with the claws of the hammer with sufficient
force to cut two holes through his hat. That
the blow escaped being fatal is indeed won
der. Had it been an inch lower upon his head
it would have hit the temple and would have
undoubtedly killed him almost instantly.
Upon a warrant he was arrested and given q
trial yesterday, which resulted in fine OF SIS
and costs being imposed, netting $50 As.
His wife, who was in attendance, was nearly
frantic with grief. At first she could not
believe her husband guilty but became con.
WINGED upon the testimony being given.
Last evening Robinson was making an effort
to borrow the money to pay the fine ana save
himself from ninety days imprisonment at
hard labor.
