A Pleasant Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. W. S. Combs, pioneer resi-
dents of st. Paul, celebrated the thirty first
anniversary of their marriage on yester-
day. That is pretty considerable period
to dwell together in harmonious unity, all
will concede. 1t is more. It's a tribute
to the nobility of humanity replete with
eloquence, an expression of domestic hap
piness more sweetly musical than exquis-
tie melodies, picture of life more beauti-
full than was ever traced by the cunning
hand of art. They were the recipients of
many tenders of congratulation, and their
host of friends united in expressions of
hope that their future pathways may be as
bright with sunshine as perfect day in
June.

Day,
At the regular meeting of Acker Post.
G. A. R., last evening, good membership
was in attendance. Col. VIM. b. II. Taylor,
chairman of the committee, reported
draft Of articles of incorporation of the Sol
diers' and Sailors Monument association of
the state of Minnesota, which were adopt
ed, and the legal formalities to perfect the

next ten days. According 10 the
draft of the articles adopted, the object
of the incorporation is to erect monu-
ment at the capital to the memory of the
soldiers, sailors and marines who served in
the army and navy to suppress the late
rebellion. Any one can become member
of the association upon the payment of 81.
The affairs of the association are to be
managed by board of seven directors
to, be elected at meeting of
stockholders to be called hereafter, pro-
vision being made for keeping the direct
orship full until the monument is erected
and dedicated to the state. Upon the
adoption of the report, an opportunity was
given all desiring to become members of
the association, which privilege was gener-
ally improved by those present.
The committee upon preparations for
the observance of Memorial
day, reported progress, and that
full programme would soon be announc
ed for a most creditable demonstration. 4
feature of the demonstration will be rep
resentation of the young daughters and
sons of old soldiers, who will have places
in the procession.
An invitation from Rev. DR.. Dana,
Plymouth church, for the post to attend
memorial religious services at his church,

A CHICAGO paper says that William G.
Howells, United States Consul at Toronto,
will voluntarily retire to private life, and
adds, "Mr. Howells was the author of
a life of Rutherford B. Hayes, former
president of the United States" This is
incorrect. w. D. Howells, the well-known
novelist and formerly editor of the Allan
tic Monthly was the author of the life of
Hayes. He is a son of the venerable con-
sui, who was appointed by Grant, at the
request of Gen. Garfield. Prior to receiv-
ing the consulship, the elder Howells was
the editor of weekly paper at Jefferson,
Ohio, in Garfeld's congressional district.

The North Chicago Rolling Mill to Resume
Operations Mex Week.
Especial Tele gram to the Globe

Special Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, May 1O.-Tne North Chicago
rolling mills will start up again some time
next week, after period of idleness ex-
tending over five months. Mr.. John G.
Parks, the general manager of the. COM
pany, said to your correspondent: ''We
shall start the steel rail mill first, and the
other departments as soon as possible. We
expect to have everything in shape for
business by Wednesday or, at the latest,
Thursday morning. We shall employ
about 700 men to start with, and that
number will be increased to 1000, as &C.
casion requires. There has been a de-
crease in wages of 33 per cent, and we will
start up on that basis. We have seen all
our old hands ana made satisfactory ar
rangement with them.'
II can't quite say for certain when we
are likely to start up again." said Mr.. E.
Stone, president of the Union Iron and
Steel company, when asked yesterday
afternoon when it was likely that operations
in the mills would be resumed: II don't
suppose it will be very long, but it is i'm
possible as yet to fix the exact date. Our
arrangements with our creditors, however,
are progressing very satisfactorily, and 1
should Judge, from present outlook, that
business will be recommended in about
month. 1t all depends now upon how
long it takes us to secure our necessary
labor at reasonable rate"

Ex.PREsIDENT HAYES says the situation
is improving in Ohio, with unity" ana
'harmony," the watchwords in the repub.
lican camp, or, in other words "the union
of Republicans for the sake of the Repub-
lic." This is good enough Morgan until
after election, but Mr.. Hayes knows
better. He knows that unity and harmony
are impossible, and that the union of Re-
publicans he refers to does not contem-
plate the welfare of the republic, but an
endeavor to retain power in the hands of
those whom the people have decreed shall
no longer be trusted. Mr.. Hayes sancti-
monious prattle is the most obnoxious ny
pocrisy.

CdMGht at Last.

A colored man by the name of m.Arm-
strong was arrested Wednesday evening,
on suspicion of having committed the
burglaries perpetrated in this city during
the last two OF three months. Armstrong
was employed by Isaac Staples to take
care of horses on farm owned by that
gentleman near the city. On Wednesday
some other men in the employ of
Mr.. Staples were engaged in moving
some hay in one of the barns
on the place, when they came
across a bale of cloth. Knowing that
such an article had lately been stolen from
a shop or store in this city, the men at
once informed the chief of police of the
matter. Mr.. Shortall lost no time in get
ting to the farm. Having secured his man,
a search for other missing goods was in
stituted, which resulted in the finding of
numerous articles which have since been
identified by their owners. Armstrong
has conducted his roguery in skillful
manner selecting houses in an out of
the way place for his operations. He has
never taken large amount of valuable
property from any one place. The goods
recovered were found securely packed in
large chest, which was nearly full of ar
ticles which he had obtained in his nightly
visits. 1t is understood that Mr.. Arm
strong has another large chest at Maple
Island, which he was intending to have
brought to his quarters, and which he prob
ably intended to fill by further depreda-
tions.
