The Rumored Sale of the Manitoba.

The rumored sale of the Manitoba to
the st. Paul system created much talk
in railroad circles. While President
Hill and other Manitoba officials pro-
nounce the rumor false, there were 9TH
ers who give it some credence. They
say that the road is owned by fouror five
men. who have made big money i'll buy
ing the stock. Now that they have
grown wealthy they are anxious. to un-
load. According to the the af-
fair is of the nature OF a consolidation.
Mr.. Hill is to retain a portion Of his in
terest in the road, and enter the direc-
tory of the consolidated lines. Messrs.
Horton & Brown, the brokers, to whose
presence the rumor may be ascribed,
were in Winnipeg yesterday. They
will return to st. Paul on Monday next.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF TT AT MILWAUKEE.
MILWAUKEE, November 20.-Alex,
Mitchell, interviewed to-day concerning
the rumored purchase Of the Manitoba
road by his company, said: There is
not a word of truth in the rumor The
st. Paul company has no idea of pur
chasing the Manitoba road.n S. S. Mer
rill said:
eff the st. Paul company has purchas.
ed, or is negotiating for the Minneapo
lis & Manitoba railway it is a matter O
news to me. Tt is not likely that such
an undertaking would be begun without
it being known here, and we have MOI
had the first intimation of such a pur.
chase, outside of what we have seen in
print this morning."

the subject to enlighten the readers Of
the RIVER PRESS"
"Oh, no; nothing whatever! 1t is too
soon yet to talk politics, with the cleo
ton nearly a year ahead. My election
as delegate at large to the constitutional
convention has revived this talk, which,
as [ said, is premature. While of course
thele was no contest, I nevertheless feel
complinlented with the vote I received
at the late election, here and elsewhere
Mr.. Power does not exactly deny the
soft impeachment hat he is a candi-
date for delegate 10 congress, and we are
certain his friends will insist on bring
ing him to the fore and will secure him
the nomination. Moreover, Mr.. Power,
if nominated, would obtain more votes
at the polls than any other republican
in the territory.

BEYOND REACH OF A KISS.

"You are sad ard detected, my treasure,
Your face wears a look of drear pain;
What il it that binders your pleasure
What doth your enjoyments enchain
Have the words ] have spoken offended
Pray tell me, my own chosen dove.
And The hurt with a kiss shall be mended-
A kiss that physician of love.
''Why sit you uneasy and signing
What sorrow doth knaw at your heart?
Is my treasured one pining and dying
From the sting of some keen, hidden dart?
Pray tell me the cause of the trouble
That in darkness your soul doth IN 11ure.
And twill burst like a light. fragile bubble,
For a kiss never yet failed TO cure"
"Oh.d darling y she calculated,
"You should cure the deep pain if you could,
But | fear tits so deeply located
That a kiss wouldn't do any good.
We had a mince pie for o%nrsdinuer,
An Iii bet the burned thing wasn't 1ipe
For it doubles me up like a sinner,
With a dod- busted sociable grippe"

The creditors of H. G. Tillinghast &
Co. are to meet in Chicago on the 4th OF
December. 1t will also be of interest to
the Montana creditors of the firm to
know that the assignee has asked and
has been granted permission to continue
the business in the interest of the cred
itors. This is supposed to have been on
account of the firm having, before the
failure, made purchases in the north
west which have not yet reached Chi

HOW ADVERTISING TELLS.

The following advertisement ap-
peared in the morning papers yester
day; nn9ni1 ua3 1flis l'll
WANTED-0ne hundred kittens at fifty
wv cents. Apply to r. NJ. Richardson, So
Public Square,
The porter when he opened up yes>
terday morning saw a crowd sitting
around with mysterious looking bags
and boxes, bat it was none of his bus
mess and he made no inquiries. Mr..
Richardson reached the store about 8
o'clock. As he turned around the
corner he knew he was elected. That
advertisement has blasted his earthly
hopes, and even then he was searching
for the villain who had so wantonly
destroyed his happiness. There was
severe disappointment manifes-
ted among the collectors Of
kittens on being told that
no felines were needed. During
the day all kinds Of cats, from the am
cient Thomas kitten to the demure
kitten of tender age, were presented,
gray cats, black cats, yellow cats-in
fact, every kind of cats that ne sun
ever shown upon, or that ever yawled
in the moonlight, Eighteen different
kinds of chills crept over the unhappy
advertiser every time cOlored boy
walked in and asked for Mr.. r. NJ.
Richardson"
Ats o'clock in the afternoon Mr..
Richardson looked as fatigued as if
he had been mauling rails. The strain
Of the day had been to much for him.
Advertise for cats" he replied in
answer to the World reporters inA
quiry. "0f course didn't. Like to
know what | want With lei OF measly
old cats, TIE truth is, 800 cats have
been brought here to day, and they
are still coming, Just let me catch
the man whe put in that advertise
mept in the papers and I'll make him
think the moon had fallen on him.
He'd better be taking summer yaca
ton, that's what he'd better be do
ing" And Mr.. Richardson looked so
blOodthirsty that the reporter trem-
bled. The sense of the ridiculous
features Of the affair caused him to
laugh. He still maintains that he did
not advertise for those cats.

AIiss AstOr as a BaIIet Dancer.


Miss Carrie Astor, daughter of
William b. Astor, heiress expectant
to millions upon millions, pet in our
most exquisite society, has become a
ballet dancer. Her debut was in the
presence OF a damned crowd of eager
spectators. The dance was a Dutch
reel, elaborated by new and pictur>
esque movements. Miss Astor wore a
correct Dutch peasant costume, con
sisting of red merino skirt and white
muslin waist; her hair was braided
behind and banded with an orna.
mental gold device, while her cap,
modelled after those worn
by the girls al the Providence of
FrleslGnd, was prettily coquettish.
She had heavy gold bracelets, gold
linked chain necklace, a diamond
brooch and diamond earrings. She
danced gracefully to the music Of
Eithersi and was applauded with i'm
mense enthusiasm, No performance
by the expert Cavallazza, the ballet
premiere Of the grand opera at the
Academy of Music, ever gained half
the appreciation. OF oonrse Miss
Astor didn't do this on the stage,
though it was part Of a show at which
I'll admission fee was charged. This
happened at the Kirmess, or Dutch
Festival, given for a charitable object.
