reinforced by fresh blast from the north
pole which knocked the socks off of any
of its predecessors. The wind howled
and shrieked and went on a regular picnic
The snow whirled and blew and drifted
until locomotion was an absolute hardship.
The down town streets were almost desert
ed and traffic was subjected to complete
embargo. The street cars managed to run
until o'clock, when Supt. Clark ordered
the men to quit the uneven battle and turn
into the barn. The snow drifted into the
cuts, and although the snow plows
were running all day, it was
impossible to keep the tracks clear.
The inconvenience caused by this was i'm
mense but as there was no help for it peo-
pie generally submitted gracefully. The
hardship of the storm was hardest on the
school children in the outlying districts
many of the little toddlers being unable
to overcome the drifts, and in some in
stances they were rescued and taken home.

THE HOUSE.

The session of the house was without
special feature, being occupied mainly
with the Introduction of bills, twenty being
presented, mostly of local character.
Among the more important were two by
Mr.. Merriam, of Ramsey, relating to the
official bonds of state officers and
treasurers of public institutions,
and the care and custody of the same.
Also one amending the law relating to the
Office of public examiner, giving him an
additional clerk and adding to his contin-
gent fund, the appropriation for clerk hire
and contingent fund being increased from
$1,7OO, as at present, to $4,000. Mr.. Bar
ker of Isanti, also introduced a bill to
regulate the issuing of malt and liquor
licenses. It makes the license for wines
and malt liquors $500, and prohibits card
playing in saloons, and the selling to mi
nors and confirmed drunkards, upon pen
atty of revocation of license and forfeiture
of license paid.

cordingly he was sent in April, 1881
The reader may perhaps remember, that
during the month of September of that
same year the deceased French statesman
visited Germany, and soon afterwards it
leaked out that this visit had been made
the express purpose of securing private
interview with Prince Won Bismarck, which
the willy chancellor saw fit to avoid M.
Gambetta had, or thought he had, reason
to believe that it was through the indis-
erection of Herr Hessele that this fact was
made public, and he not only quarreled
with Hessele and took away from him
the correspondence of his paper, but he also
took his son away from the Polytechnicon.
This was done last April, but since that
time a reconciliation between Gambetta
and Hessele had taken place, and the for
mer made up his mind so send his son
back to Dresden, which determination is
believed by many to have led to the quar-
rel and its disastrous results. There are
great many wellinformed persons who
think that jealousy had more to do with
the quarrel than maternal affection, and
that either some one of the numerous in
facilities of her lover or the belief that he
was contemplating forming legitimate
union with some one else was the cause OF
the scene that terminated so terribly.

the Manufacture or Stetgts.

Said maker of sleighs to representa-
tive of the New York Sun: "We have them,"
said the maker, sat all prices, from $25 up
to $500. Up to five years ago there was
little variety in sleighs, and they were far
less costly than they now are. Then the
Albany pattern or the square-bodied
Portland pattern. The first innovation
was what is known as the 'Stivers' pattern,
which was more comfortable than the
Albany and had much more graceful
lines than the Portland. With the
addition of springs to take off jolts,lt may
be considered about perfect in its kind.
But now we have number of new styles,
of great beauty and corresponding expen-
siveness, taken from Russian, German and
Canadian models. That six-seat vis-a-vis
is model of our own, and is the acme of
sleigh building. 1t has sort of landau
body with doors supported on curved irons,
and is worth $500. This is Canadian pat
tern, and is known as cariole, or tub
sleigh. Its body comes very close to
the ground, and rests on solid wooden
runners, has very high front and back, and
is fitted either for driver to sit on a mar
row driving seat in front or for use without
a drivers seat. That one with the seat
perched up behind for the driver-a rum
BILE sleigh-is Russian style, and though it
holds only two, and driver, if one is
wanted, is worth $3.50 to $500, according
to finish. There is suparb Russo Cana
dian sleigh, for four people; it's body,
as you see, much like a cabr1olet or VIC
toria carriage price $3.50 to $500. This
square bodied one, with angles instead of
curves everywhere, seats on a level, heavy
meuldings in panels, and generally rather
plain in appearance, is German, and can
be dragged away for just $3.50. That gen
tleman's driving sleigh, which 80 much re-
sembles a dog cart on runners, is worth
$500. Here is a specimen of our speed
cutters, made OF forged steel and bent
hickory, which weighs only fifty pounds,
and is worth S. a pound. 1t is strong
enough to carry two good-sized men, if
they could be got into it. That sort of
sleigh we make speciality of, and have
sold them to Vanderbilt, Frank Work, and
lot of other gentlemen fond of driving
fast horses. new and expensive thing
that we have put on nearly all our sleighs
this season is that nickel-plated wire snow
screen in front. 1t adds greatly to the
looks of sleigh and is also useful. That

Proposed Competitive Drill.

Numerous inquiries were made at the
Armory fair Monday evening and last
night by the friends of the Emmett Light
artillery, as to the absence of the company,
and the reasons why they have not par
ticipated in the display and exhibition. As
to the cause of their absence the GLOBE
can offer no satisfactory reason, but a re-
porter of this paper met Capt. MCCARTHY
yesterday, and was informed by that gen
tleman that his company would not take
any part in the fair.
The GLOBE was authorized to state
however, that the Emmett Light artillery
would inaugurate competition and exhi-
bition drill for the benefit of the Armory
building fund, in which all the companies
of the state guard would be invited to par
ticipate, several applications being already
made. The drill will take place the week
after Easter, when magnificent military
display may be looked for.

GAMBETTA'S SON,

AIphOHse Leon, the Youth Who Caused, In
directly, the Death of the Statesman.
Alphonse Leon, the cause of the fatal
quarrel between his unmarried parents
whose result has plunged France in mourn
ing, is described by the Paris correspond
emit of the Philadelphia Times as a tall
slender lad, just turned sixteen, who re
sembles his mother more than he does his
father, although ne has all the turbulence,
violence and excitability of the
latter. When he was old enough
to begin his education his mother
placed him at the famous school of st.
Barbe, entering him by the name of AL
phonse Leon, the latter name being &C.
cepted as patronymic. Very soon after
this M. Gambetta called on the principal
of the school, and taking care to make
clear the motive for the interest which he
took in the future of the young Alphonse
Leon, recommended him to the especial
attention of his masters. The same ex
PLANTATION was made to Bishop Puyol, the
chaplain of the school, who, at the fathers
especial request, prepared him for his first
communion and confirmation.
This is a fact that is somewhat curious
IN the life of Gambetta, as it is in direct
contradiction to the open and marked
manner in which in all other circumstances
he has taken care to manifest his indiffer-
ence and hostility to the observances of the
usages and customs of the church. Not
only does he, on the occasion of any mar
rage or funeral he may attend, decline to
enter the church, but even the interment of
his mother some months ago was a purely
civil ceremony, from which everything of
a religious character was strictly excluded.
Gambetta did not, therefore, assist at the
first communion and confirmation of his
son, and it must also be said that, in spite
of the preparation of the good bishop,
these sacraments did not seem to work any
change in the character of Alphonse.
According to the testimony of his school
mates and teachers the lad, while extreme
ly bright and intelligent, is lazy, undisci-
plined, noisy and mischievous, but not
wicked, ana this is the exact terms III
which all the old schoolmates of his father
speak of the character Of the latter during
his scnoolboy days. AS the lad grew older
mis- father resolved to send him to some
school where he would be removed from
the dangers of Partisan life and from the
indulgent weakness of his mother. He
selected the Polytechnicon of Dresden,
among whose professors the RepubIique
Fraacaise had Its most able German
correspondent in the person of
Herr Hesseie. and to Dresden ar

Gazing in of a Barn.

During the present embargo and super
abundance of the beautiful great danger
exists from the threatened caving in of old
or poorly constructed buildings, the weight
of snow on some houses being terrible
pressure on their standing capacity. Dur
ing Monday night the frame barn on
Franklin street, between Third and Fourth
gave way to the pressure of snow and
caved in.
The building contained valuable horse
owned by Henry Warfeld, and worth $500
and several wagons and cutters. Last fall
Mr.. Warfeld had a strong box stall made
independent of the barn, and this precau-
| ton saved the animals lie. A cutter be-
longing to DIR. Stamm, and one owned by
Mr.. Mcdonald, and wagon belonging to
Mr.. O'Leary, were badly damaged. The
barn was owned by Mr.. O'Leary.

The eating wager now under way in
New York, of two quails day for month,
revives in the mind of writer for the
New York Sun the following reminiscent
ces:
For many years there lived in Albany or
Waterford, man named Peter Ellis, or
Ellison. He died about three years ago.
At the time of his death he must have
been near seventy years of age. The
writer saw him at Saratoga springs in the
summer of 1876. He was then large, loose
made, bigboned man, not much under six
feet IN height. He was known as a most
enormous eater. A dressed turkey, weigh
ing twenty-o.e pounds, was roasted, and,
on wager, Ellison ate the whole of it at
one sitting, or within about the usual time
occupied at dinner, together with bread
and some kind of wine. dozen years
ago New York man made an offer in the
way of bet to the late John Morrissey
that he could produce man who would eat
a twenty -three pound dressed turkey
roasted, and, when he named Peter Ellison
as his man, Mr.. Morrissey said: Il know
the man." and the offered bet was not &C
copied.
At the time alluded to, when the writer
| met Peter Ellison, the old man related the
particulars of an eating match between
another and himself, which took place
many years before at Snediker's on Long
Island, then a well-known roadside inn
much frequented by lovers of the horse.
The dinner was to consist of broiled spring
chickens, bread and wine. The chickens
were to be split open at the back and
broiled whole, or, as Peter termed it, sin
spread-eagle STYLE" and each man to take
the half given him by the carver and ref
cree. Ellison ate thirty-two halves, being
sixteen chickens, and won the bet.
In the spring of 1916, at the season of
making maple sugar, a student of the
seminary at Manchester, VT, Albert Petit
bone, then nineteen years old, after eating
what he wanted of hot maple sugar at the
sugar house of his father, in that town,
finished up by eating twenty-four hard
boiled eggs. This was witnessed by a
number of Pettibone's fellow students,
whom he had invited to the sugar house to

could eat the most of that succulent dish.
when green and properly boiled. One of
the women ate twenty-six ears of corn and
the other twenty nine. The latter felt no
i'll effects from her extraordinary meal.
The other was almost immediately taken
sick and died within thirty -six hours. The
doctors said she died of Asiatic cholera.
