were about an average OF the general lite
rarY work Of the school. The last week
wac spent in "a general review OF the sub

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.

4 Peculiarly Happy Occasiod-J. o. F.
MeGgIter the Recipient of a Beautiful
Present.
Mr.. j. o. F. Meagher, of the Minneap-
oils Steam Laundry company, Nos. 2O9
and 211 South Second street, celebrated the
thirty-frst anniversary of his birthday on
Thursday evening. The employees of his
establishment, with whom he is extremely
popular, presented him with an elegant
silver water service as token of their ap-
probation of his many kindnesses to them,
as we'll as to commemorate the event of
his attaining his present age
in single blessedness. Mr.. Sly
of the firm of Skinner & Sly, Minneapolis
Liquid Paint company, made the presen-
tation speech, complimenting Mr.. Meagher
in such eulogistic words that in responding
he became so emotional as almost to break
down. He briefly thanked his friends for
the beautiful gifts presented him, praised
his employees for discharging their duties
in faithful, conscientious manner and
then invited his many friends present to a
grand supper, to which they did ample
justice.
The GLOBE congratulates Mr.. Meagher
on the happy event, and hopes to be able
to chronicle that he has duplicated before
he is a year older.

GRANGER's bogus CHECKS.

Il minneapolis Pettifogger Gets Nun.ber
EOf HIS Bogus ChechsiCaSIted by Personal
FriendS-A Professional "DeGd Beat
Does up People.
A GLOBE representative happened into
the Office of one of the leading legal firms
of the city yesterday, and was shown a
couple of bogus checks payable to
A. G. Granger, and written by j. G.
Burrel at Winnipeg. One of these
checks had been cashed by H. r. Higgins,
Esq, upon the solicitation of Granger, and
the other had been cashed by another legal
gentleman, who is so chagrined at being
taken in upon such iimsy trick that he
requests the GLOBE to withhold his name
in the exposure.
Granger in inducing the gentlemen to
to cash the bogus checks
explained that Burrell owed
him large sum of money, and was a
heavy capitalist in Winnipeg. He said he
found that Burrell had valuable gold
watch and finger ring in st. Paul and
he had attached it, thus compelling him to
remit the checks, which he said were as
good as gold.
Granger, who is as old IN years as in sin,
succeeded in getting into the law Office to
do Office work, and was ousted for crooked
work. A gentleman called and left $35 for
his employers. Granger gave receipt
for the same, but of course the right par
ties near received the money. He coolly
asserted that he had left it lying there up
on his employers table, together with a
note explaining what it was for.
to Winnipeg and came back protested,
Burrell not having a cent in the bank
drawn upon. Upon the receipt of the pro-
tests and return of the checks, Mr.. Hig-
gins dropped note to Granger inform
ing him of the same, and demanding that
he make good the respective amounts at
once, aggregating about $40. Next day
Mr.. Higgins received the following letter:
Mr.. Higgins: 1 will do the best I can
for you before P. H., if I have to do it
myself through fraud. GRANGER.

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.

The 7. p. Special Wire "Confrn,ed" Grants
Death-I Minneapolis Sheet Gtres the
Details of Ho,c He Died.
minneapolis Tribune, 20.
After the groundless rumor OF Grants
death had been bulletined and published
in an afternoon paper the Journal as a
rumor, the st. Paul Pioneer Press posted
solemn announcement that a dispatch re-
ceived over its especial wire'' confirmed
the news cf Gen. Grants decease. The
existence, the value, and the trustworthi-
ness of that same special wire are of course
proven by this ludicrous iasco.
Not to be outdone by bigger fish, the re-
cent and previous Evening News issued an
apopiectic and hysterical extra, which
touched the high water mark of absurdity
and beat the Journal and Pioneer Press
out of sight. The announcement in the
Ne1US had such headlines as these:
"While en- route from his residence to the
business cen:ers he is prostrated by an
attack of apoplexy-He received every
attention, but was beyond human aid be-
fore help could reach his side-The hero
of Appomattox touched by the Master of
mortality, acknowledges his first and final
defeat-Great excitement in business cir
cles in New York, Milwaukee, Chicago
and throughout the country" Then
came the following special telegram:
Special to the Daily News
MILWAUKEE,, July I9.-Ghe startling news of
the sudden death of General Grant at 10 O'Clock
this morning has caused the greatest consterna-
ton here. From the very brief particulars re-
ceived at this writing it seems that he had
breakfasted as usual, and left his residence ap-
parently in the enjoyment of good health. He
had proceeded in the direction of the Elevated
railway to take the cars, when he was suddenly
noticed to press his hand to his forehead and
after stumbling as if to catch himself fell pre-
cipitately to the pavement.
Parties in the vicinity rushed at once to his
assistance. Upon first reaching his side he was
found to be respirating with difficulty, and was
raised up. Immediately, however, he gas ed
family and that was the last. His body was
taken at once in charge and conveyed to an ad-
joining house, and will be removed to his resi-
dence during the morning. This unexpected
event has cast q shadow over the city, and the
ppofoundest sympathies are expressed for the
bereaved family. Business is temporarily sus-
pended, and everybody is anxiously awaiting
further intelligence.
The grapevine OF the P. P. and the
News evidently terminated in the same
back Office and were struck by the same
cyclone of enterprise. Probably lesson
has been learned for the future.
