Why, in the name of all that is comfortable,
do people who live in this torrid climate build
''story and -a-half' housesl Strangers who come
to Indianapolis are invariably charmed with the
cosy appearance of the low, Vine covered cot
tages which line street after street. With fatu-
GUS eagerness he passes dwellings of reasonable
construction, and, "because 1t looks so home
like" leases or buys one, in the upper rooms of
which he can scarcely stand erect. After he has
moved in and sawed off or traded off his high
bedsteads and bureaus, and is beginning to ad-
just himself to the cramped quarters, summer
comes. He had not thought much about sum-
mer before, but he thinks of it now. Vines are
beautiful on little house, and they reach the
top Of it very soon, but they do not keep 1t
cool No Indianapolis house is cool in sum-
mer but the with the Queen Anne
roof and no attic has super-heaJed chambers
in which the wretched occupants brains may
bake. Those rooms are hotter than aEy here
after he ever dreamed of. He lies there under
the roof and stifiingly imprecates, or wishes he
could lock architect and builder in the half-story
furnace until they fully realized their own de-
pravity. Love flies out of the windows of these
cottages to get breath of air, and does not
come back till fall. If the capitalists who build
houses for rent were the only ones who perpe-
trated the halfstory atrocities it would not be
surprising. Rented houses in this city, as I'M
fortunate tenants are aware, are not provided
with the conveniences which go to make life en-
durable. Closets are conspicuous by their alb
sence, cellars reached by trap-doors
"modern improvements" regarded sindispensa
BILE in other cities, are almost unknown. With
all this it is not to be wondered at that the land
lord imposes the half-story on his tenants, but
that men who should know better and can afford

Law LIBRARY OPENING.

The A.spieio.s and YsrAal opening Of
the Ms9ninosnt New Law Library Last
Avsning.
Last evening the new Law library was
formally opened. The rooms are in she cid
Academy Of Music building, and are under
the auspices Of tho Minneapolis Bar asso-
oiation. Informal addresses were made
BY members Of the association and every
thing was happy and we'll timed.
The nucleus of the library was contributed
by Thomas Lowry last winter in the dona-
ton of his excellent library, embracing
some 1,20O volumes. On the 10th of Feb
ruary last the ass ociation took out char
ter and perfected permanent organiza-
ton in the election of Hon. Eugene M.
Wilson to the presidency. The associa-
ton secured modest quarters at No. 220
Nicollet avenue, where the donation of the
magnanimous protector was placed. Little
by little since additions have been made
through donations of members and friends
until now the library comprises over 5000
volumes, containing the reports of every
state in the union, and all the circuit court
reports. The membership fee is So quar-
terly, and the funds are devoted to the pur-
chase of new legal works as fast as they
are issued. Mr.. S. l.. Trussell is the Ii
brarian, and his duties are to give any de-
sired information and to find any book
desired by member of the association.
The new rooms are given the associa-
ton free of rent by Messrs. Herrick i
Lowry, and comprise two large, airy
rooms.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 20.--The circuit
court of La Crosse rendered Judgment
substantially, that Jeanette Washburne, in
sane widow of the late Gov. Washburne,
should recover dover in one-third of the
real estate of which the testator was
seized during his marriage, together with
one-third of the net personal estate Of the
testator, and that the executors should

the testator's real estate in Wisconsin, COZ

testator's death, az standing and growing
upon said lands, and part thereof At the
time OF the admeasuremento of the DOVER
That the executors Should pay to George
X. Chase, as guardian for the said Jean
cite Washburne, one third of the net per-
sonal estate of tho testator at the
time of his decsass, together with
one-third of the issues and profits
OF testator's personal estate
received or collected by the said executors;
and further that they should account for,
and pay over to the said guardian, for the
said Jeanette Washburne, third of the
rents, issues and profits of the testator's
real estate. IN Wisconsin, exclusive of pine
cut from said timber lands, which have
come, or are to come, into their hands.
The court. in the opinion rendered to-day
by Chief Justice Cole, held that this could
be said to be ''devise" or 'sother provis-
ion" made for the widow within the mean
ing of the statute, which provides
that if any lands be devised to woman
or other provision be made for her in the
will of her husband she shall make her
selection, whether she will take the lands
SO devised or the provisions 80 made, OF
| whether she will claim the share of his
estate allowed her by law. The next quee-
ton considered was does the statute apply

election for her, which she, we're she sane
and capable of exercising reasonable judg-

doubt, in that event, she would elect to
waive the provisions made for her in the
will, and take the interest in her late hus-
| bands estate, which the statute in such
case would give her."

A KICK AT KEIFER.

he Is Not to Receive tho Com plimeHtar
Vote of His Party for the Speakership.
New YORK, Nov. 2o.---The Hackensaok,
n. j., Republican will contain tomorrow
the interview with VIM. Walter Phelps,
member elect to the next congress, In
which he gives expression to the general
wish among the Republican members of
tho next house il Ex-speaksr Keifer should
refuse to be the candidate for the empty
honor of denomination. II seems Phelps
has written to Keifsr 81 the suggestion of
members from different parts of
She country, some Of whom have
served before and others who enter
congress for the hrst time. They believe
that their party will be strengthened BIZ
taking a new departure and that the house
of representatives is the best place to be-
gin the new movement In the selection of
new men for old positions. 1t is said the
reason why Phelps WAS selected to carry
on this correspondence was because he ia
not personally acquainted with the e1-
speaker and being New Jersey Republi-
can, he has not been involved
in any Of the factional auarrels
of the party, he is therefore
acceptable to both stalwarts and half
breeds. In this interview Phelps Expresses
the opinion that the ex-speaker, having the
welfare of the Republican party at heart.
will not fail to recognize it. and its future
success depends on united action. which
can only be obtained by mutual, full and
friendly concessions, and avoidance of auv
action that will tend to keep I'D the dis
agreements of the past two or three years
Phelps, in the name of the party and coun-
try, appealed to Keifer to announce to
his friends that he would not accept re-
nomination. He felt sure that Keifer's
example would be followed by the ser
geant-at-arms and other officers of the

HOME AGAIN.

A Deserted Husband FsItosCs his Faithless
fife TO Holland and Eetmrns the Former,
Penitent and Forgiven to Her Home.
Early last summer, it will be remem-
bered, Mrs. Michael Grogl, the wife of a
we'll to do citizen who lievd on South
Third street, eloped with Bohemian, tax
ing steamship for Europe, and also tax
ing with them $500, the property of the
deceived husband.
The Bohemian, who had just arrived
from his native heath, took
board at Mr.. Grogl's house. Mr.. Grogl
was in the employ of Wyman Elliot, out
at his market gardens, and it was during
his absence that the willy Bohemian sue
cessfully assailed the affections of the
fickel dame, and ser sail as man and wife
for Europe The unhappy husband learn
ing the steamship upon which the guilty
pair had embarked, at once sent cable
gram to Paris demanding the arrest of the
parties. The instructions of the cable
gram were faithfully observed and the two
were tanned in limbo and lhe
husband notified. The husband at once
started for Holland whittier the prisoners
were removed. Husband and wife met,
and it was the old story. First towering
passion on the part Of one; tears, en-
treaties and prayers on the part of the
other; then the mans stern heart relented
and the penitent wife was again taken to
the heart of her affinity. Of the $500 she
still had $500 which she delivered up, and
as happy as newly married couple they
returned to their Minneapolis home.
1t is related that during the Bohemian's
incarceration in Holland, Grogps friends
were In the habit of taking him out of
prison every few days, on which occasions
they would whip and duck him, and in
dulge in few other such playful pleasant
ries, which, however, the victim scarcely
appreciated.
