The Hams Rnn eft.

There are some practices in this world which
should be forever honored, and foremost among
them is the written and indeed the unwritten
precept of helping the unfortunates in whatever
way their need suggest assistance. 1t is not
often that a public demonstration is asked for
the benefit of an individual in private life, and
that individual woman, and when it is, there
must undoubtedly be cause enough to bring
forth sub tantial and adequate response.
Now in this community where Charles Hams
spent so many years of his life, and latterly as
manager of the Opera house which brought him
in contact with hosts Of people, he was one
of the most popular OF men,
in the best sense of popularity
that is he had traits of good
will, sincerity, and honesty which attracted his
fellows, and gave every one an abiding impress
sion of exceiling manliness.
To be sure he was requitted as the world goes
for all that he did in his work, and it was
enough for two, content with such returns while
health lasted, and expectation promised its con-
tinuance. But when the inroads ofan unrelent-
ing and protracted disease encroached upon the
pecuniary margin, and it grew smaller and small
er, there is no doubt that the most
poignant suffering of Charles Hams at the last

broken, too, with the long and loyal care through
days and nights unto the end.
This sorrowful sundering of two people mu-
tually dependent upon each 9TH
- is one OF the Affections
mich benumbs the survivor with misery. Not
o. re is affection forever withdrawn, but the
'= which was support, capital, all, is quenched
a the night Of the grave.
The benefit tomorrow afternoon is tribute
which every generous heart should pay without
any special urging. Those who are strong and
well should pay it il thanksgiving for their pre-
cious possession. Those who are prosperous
should pay it in gratitude for that benifcent adj
justment of their lot which places them beyond
the need of any appeal. Those who are happy
should pay it in recognition of an exceptional
privilege. Those who have had SORROWS and
losses should pay it for sympathy. Finally,
everyone should pay it who appreciates the hero
ism that for weary months watched with tenderest
care and affection a death-stricken husband, and
when ali was over, brought him back to rest in
Minnesota earth eyermore-one of the cIeverest
and truest men ever buried in it.
Those last words condense this appeal.
Let this be left be suficing, if only for the
reason that the recipient is the widow of Charles
Hams.

FRIDAY NIGHTS STORM.

More of the GyratioRs of the Electric
Fluid-The Houses That We're Struck.
Among the sufferers from the vagaries
of the electrical storm of Friday evening,
as chronicled in the GLOBE yesterday morn
ing,was John Lemons residence, corner OF
Eighth street and Marie avenue. Mr.,
Lemon, with boy in his en-
ploy, was at work at the time
in his garden. At the critical instant Mr..
Lemon was in stopping position in the
act of transplanting some cabbage plants.
He heard no report of the electric dis
charge, but was knocked flat on his face,
but did not lose his consciousness. Re-
covering his feet he saw the boy running
and heard him cry out, "It hit me- Upon
investigation Mr.. Lemon found piece OF
the gable roof of his house hear where the
boy stood, and going into the
house he found his wife and two
children all FRUSTRATED, but as it happily
turned out, no one was injured beyond the
temporary shock. Further investigation
developed the fact that the discharge had
penetrated the roof, passing into the
chamber over the sitting room where the
family were, and then glancing out of the
window passed into the water pipe
to the cistern, in which
it exploded, breaking the wall
on one side about a foot from the bottom
and at least six feet from the surface of
the water. This damage to the roof and
cistern will probably amount to 500.
Robert B. Ware, of the firm of Ware &
Malcolm, Dayton avenue, had close call
from a thunderbolt at his residence on
Lincoln avenue during the storm Friday
night. The lightning struck the roof OF
his house and ran its length, tearing up
the shingles and roof boards, but doing
no other damage. Probably $50 will
make the necessary repairs.
The residence of A. H. Knight, corner OF
Nelson and harrington avenues, was also a
sufferer. The lightning struck the chin.

St. Paul Exhibition of All.

The exhibition is expected to open on
Monday week, and promises to be an
agreeable surprise. From the number of
valuable pictures promised-a portion of
the pictures are already hung-and by the
end of the week the likelihood will be that
1t will be ready for opening. Miss Cava-
naugh has been appointed assistant Gus
todian. This young lady has recently
come here, is good artist, and will take
quite an interest in the exhibition. Mr..
Anderson has received several fine
pictures this week for exhibition,
but earnestly requests that exhibitors
will not delay any longer in sending
in their exhibits, or if they will send in
their names their pictures will be called
for at their residence.
1t is to be hoped that amateurs will not
lose the opportunity of exhibiting. What
work they have already sent in, the ANA
teur portion of the exhibit, will be very
fair.
The season tickets are placed at the ex-
ceedingly low figure of 81, so as to enable
all to share in the benefit of such an excel
lent enterprise. For amateurs to have the
opportunity of seeing so many good pic
lures nothing could be more improving to
them in the furtherance of their studies.
In no other way can the study of painting
be studied to more advantage than by an
exhibition. So many differents styles of
technique will be shown that the pupils
cannot help choosing their favorite style
of working. We trust that this undertake
ing will be we'll patronized, and that 1t
may be the beginning of an annual exhibit
ton in our city.
