TIE ILLS OF HAIR,

Red hair is regarded as causing wit, or
what passes for it in others. Once in 8
while for the consolation of the unfortun ates
growing the Objectionable hue, the opinion of
color blind crauks, such as poets and
painters, is quoted, as if it was any balm to
have Swinburne or Titan cited as admiring
devotees when they don't belong to ones
own set. and haven't the least iota of infiu-
ence with the funny people who are so
humorous over red hair. Joking is bad
enough, but now that eminent medical
authority reinforces half exhausted stale
plsasantries it is serious, for it points out a
fresh vein of persecution. The case of
young girl who died in the insane
asylum of Hamburg, lately, furnishes
the damaging observations given by
medical expert. She had alter
nations Of calmness and excitement. At the
highest stage of agitation her hair oas red,
while in her quiet intervals it was blonde.
The blondes always have the best of it. Now.
of course, this medical opinion is apt TO ere
ate suspicion of insanity in red haired SUBJ
jects, or at the mildest of a tendency to Sag
itation." 1t may affect engagements aud
even uenect attentlOns With Intentions. L
the unfortunate victims of red hair should
resort to bleaching or dying it. they are
threatened with legal doubts, difficulties and
disabilities should they be possessed of means
enough and inclination to devise will. Sur
rogate Calvin, of New York, considered the
question how far the use of hair dye by a
testator may make him incompetent to draw
up valid viii, and it is said he had
taken much testimony upon the
effect of such things frequently
applied to the hair and scalp, exert upon the
brain. 1t will not do to say that such prac-
tees either lind imbeciles or make them; but
it may be assested that the remedy against
the persecution is more to be deprecated by
the red haired than the natural affiictou.

The late President Garfield did not illus
trate his wisdom, nor give assurance of a
successful and popular administration q his
appointment Of such unworthy, selfish, bonn
biastic and incompetent persons to high Of
fee as Hazen and Swain, and others of that
ilk. The amented President seemed 10 be
governed more by his personal likes, than by
high qualifications and personal aud official
merit II man is known by the company
he keeps, the late President seems to have
been unfortunate in his personal surround

Hazen is universally voted a disastrous
incompetent.a as chief of the signal bureau, and
is noted only for his pompous
ineficiency. Swain is sweating in the cru

the mistakes which President is liable to
make when he appoints a man TO Office not
because he is qualified but because he is a

employees of the hotel.
Commodore w. F. Davidson was made the

case watch, the gift of the employees of the

conducted quietly and the Gift was a sub
stantial and appropriate token of the high
esteem in which he is held by he:donors.
Mr.. Ehle Allen, son Of Col Allen, of the
Merchants hotel, was on yesterday presented
with unique and elegantly executed oil
painting, the work of the gifted artist, Mr..
II. II. Cross. The SUI beet is entitled, ''The
Old Year out and the New Year in, - and the
study Is remarkable for its faithfulness to

CHAEFER,S CANDoR.

Mr.. CHATTER, father-in-law Of Gen. Grants
son, is quite outspoken as TO what the eoun-
try should do for his son-in-law's father. If
pension is out of the question, why the re-
tired list, with the handsome pay of major
general. would answer better. Grant has
been q costly patriot 10 his country. The
party which elevated him for eight years be-
gan in 1868 with a majority of 305. 900, end
in 1876 with a minority Of $50, 900 In dol
lars and cents he has $3.50. 900 given by jay
Gould and other friends. whereof the interest
is bis, and if he has not entirely outgrown
the frugal habits Of his early life, he ought to
be able to live on it, especially since his es-
Enlistment is complete in all that heart can
wish. Horses, equipages, jewels, ornaments,
superb gifts, curiosities, are all in his pos
session, and in value represent a goodly
sum-estimated at about half a mil
lion. So when Senator Edmunds
aud other Grant idolators want to add
&c., 900 year to his income the country
doesn't see it, indeed it is far-sghted TO
lamentable degree. 1t is wise to acknowl-
edge that Gen. Grant has had his day. It
was brilliant, lucky, honored and rewarded
No man in the republic was ever so FORUM
ately placed, with the prospect of serene
and exceptionally enjoyable civic life.
If he saw fit to share the peculiar profits
arising from the ''use of his name and in
huence" by pair of knaves, he is scarcely
more to be pitied than the willing tool in any
gambling operation who squeals when the
pile is gone from him, and there is no longer
any show of irregularly large dividends-of
whose sources he is fatuously igDorant-the
poor dear man, until he knows the CHASTITY
truth in the failure of Grant & Ward.
Politically and financially Gen. Grant
is not entitled to the profound graft
tuie and esteem of the country.
The abuse and degradation of political power
during his administration of the Presidency
make his long tenure of Office the most cor
rupt in the whole history of the government,
while the openly INSCRIPTIONS character of
his intimates and their acknowledged infiu-
ence with him, led naturally to the financial
selection of his business partnershipto which
ugly suspicion of cOnnivance with rascality
must always adhere. If the General will
bear the consequences of his hlunders in
somewhat clipped prestige, and diminished
revenues for the rare Injuries OF life, and
lets himself down easy the decline of exist
ence without any outcry and pother by
his friends, the better his case will seem
to the countr Y, which just now at leas has
had somewhat too much of it.

THE GLOBE ANNUAL RETIEW.

Every year since its existence the GLOBE
has Issued, on the 31st of December, an an
nual review of the trade, growth and progress
of St Paul for the year just closing These re-
views have had feeble i'm itators but no rivals
and the only hampering has been the lack
of mechanical facilities to meet the popular
demand for extra copies of the publication.
During the past year the mechan-
zeal facilities of the GLOBE have
been made superior to those of any other,
paper west of Chicago, and a magnificent
new building, erected expressly for the
GLOBE, which will be occupied before this
publication, will make the GLOBE equipped
equal to any paper in the United States, and
at an expense only INDUCED in by the lead
ing and most thoroughly established journals
Of the country.
The great advancement of the GLOBE in
1884, which places it upon such a magnif-
cent footing, is simply commensurate with
the great advancement of st. Paul, and an
effort will be made to furnish an annual re-
view of which every citizen can be proud.
The size of the edition both in number of
copies printed and in the number of pages
used, depends entirely upon the de-
mands of the business public. The GLOBE
can meet any demands upon its space that
can be made, but in preparing for so great
an edition as is sure to be made, some time
must be allowed for arrangement, and those
who would secure choice locations for their
advertising announcements should apply
early. The first applicants can, of course,
have the choice, and the GLOBE trusts all of
its friends, which comprises the entire pub
lie, viii aim to be first in securing adverts-
ing positions.

cURKESr COMMENTS.

A WRITER in the New York TribHHs supplies \
sketch OF Dan, Manning, OF Albany, whose
career is a strong instance Of the success OF an
editor. Dir. Manning comes OF q plain family.
and before he was the editor was tbs legislative
reporter OF the Albany Argus. About the time
he succeeded Mr.. Cassidy control OF tue paper
he became president Of bank and now his son.
while the father Is In his second honeymoon. Is
the business conductor OF the ArgHs. The father
has accomplished q very remarkable result in
politics, securing Democratic President At the
end OF twenty -four years. Mr.. Manning's labor
was to impress this candidate npon the Democ-
racy and the rest OF the Nation. and notwith-
standing serious opposition he accomplished that
work and the the candidate was elected. This
unquesiionably pats Mr.. Manning in the galaxy
of Albany editorial managers, by the side OF
Weed, crosswen. Watson and Cassidy. Il is said
in Albany that the widow OF Mr. Cassidy con-
trolls tine ArgEs. but it Is also believed that Mr.
Manning, since cleveland's election to the Presi-
dency, has obtained frmer control OF its ed
itorial policy.

THE BoOMKRANG 3 US1SEss.

The Toronto World hurls the following
javelin at the virtuous Winnipegers, which
boomerang-like, comes back upon the in
nocents represented by the World:
"a loud call for Moody comes from Winnipeg,
where the harvest is declared to be more than
ripe, and the laborers, though not few, unequal
TO the work. Should the evangelist succeed in
persuading some OF the capitalists OF the bulls
eye city TO give up a portion OF the plumber
taken from the stranger in the boom days, he
will receive the thanks OF many 4 victim in this
part OF Canada"
The boomerang flies back with q lively re-
bound through the columns of the Free Press
of Winnipeg:
II the evangelist wants 20 get at the root Of
Winnipeg wickedness, he had better begin among
the victims spoken Of by the World. They came
here, in all their wonderful freshness" TO take
charge of the ''boom;" but found after a while
that the 'boom" hgd ''scooped' them. They
have been whining ever since because, instead Of
victimizing other, they felt confident OF being
able to do, they were themselves ''victimized. -
Eastern ''boom victims" had better take rest
This would seem to be notable case Of
the bitter being bitten.

81. Hnr,t,s Church.

The usual Christmas services were held in
this church yesterday and were largely at
tended. At last mass Father Kane officiated
and the sermon was preached by the rever-
end pastor, Father Caillet. The decorations
OF the altar aud crib were especially fine, and
was done solely by the young ladies of the
congregation. Four masses were said alto
gether, one at 5, Z, 1880 and 1880 a. m.
A very large audience assembled at the
10 80 service, no doubt attracted partly by
the musical programme. which was particu-
larry grand. The mass sung was Haydu's
No 2. in Z, and was given by the full choir
of the church, with the assistance of Mr..
Tom Karl, Mr.. viii Dorgan and six mem
oers of the Boston Ideal chorus. The soloists
were Miss Alice Shaw. Miss Elsie Shaw. Mr..
Tom Karl and Mr.. James Shea. The accom-
paniment was given entirely by the organ,
and really Mr.. H. McLachlan is to be con
graduated on his skillful manipulation OF
the miserable organ at his disposal This is
the first time that the choir has not been as
sisted by an orchestra, and we think that the
change is good one. One very noticeable
feature was the grand crescendos and
dimineudOs which were very effective. Miss
Alice Shaw's rendition of the soprano solo
WOIk Was very BOOu, anu tue same must De
said of Miss Elsie Shaw, the contraltO, and
FIR. James Shea. the bass, whose rendition of
the famous "Qui TOLLS" was splendid.
Mr.. Tom Karl was of course perfectly at
home in the tenor solos of the mass He
also sang the offertory piece ''Sancta Maria
with great taste and feeling. 1t is seldom
one gets such great treat as this was. The
"Adeste Fidelis'' was sung before mass, and
the grand chorus with such an array Of
singers was beautiful.
Miss Loughrin, one Of the Boston Ideals,
sang the soprano solo immensely, and Miss
Cleary, Miss Shaw, Mr.. Tom Karl and Mr..
Shea sang the quartette in good style.
The Messiah chorus ''and the glory of the
Lord" concluded the very imposing and
beautiful service. We can extend nothing
bat congratulations TO every one who assisted
in the work, as everything passed off with
out the slightest hitch. MIR. Hayes, the di-
rector, especially deserves mention for the
great labor he has given to get up such a
good work. We understand that the same
musical programme will be given on Sunday
again, with exactly the same performers.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Christmas Matinee and Erenin0 En-
teITaiHmenf Of the Boston Ideals.

The Christmas Matinee and Evenin0 En-
teTfaiHmenf Of the Boston Ideals.
The Boston Ideals presented Gilbert &
Sullivan's comic opera of Patience" at the
Grand last night. to the largest and most
fashionable audience of the engagement, it
being essentially gala night audience and
one that started out with the view of being
delighted and pleased, the result being
in all respects satisfactory and gratifying.
There is a charm in the iingling measures
of the bright and pretty score, and a taking
way about the delicious nonsense of the
shadowy plot and diaphonous dialogue, that
will make the musical burlesque popular for
q long time to come, aud the parody
wiz be always palatable as being
an exaggerated stage picture of
certain existing types of sweIdom.
No better opera could have been presented
for Christmas nights entertain ment, and
the audience laughed itself hoarse and ap-
plauded the hits OF the evening, and they
were numerous, to the echo.
The cast was substantially as heretofore
announced, with the exception that Miss
Agnes Stone was substituted for Miss Barton
in the role of Lady Angela,
1t being announced that Miss Barton was in
disposed from bad cold. Considering that
it was the first appearance of Miss Stone in
the role, on short notice too, she acquitted
herself admirably. The opera was hand
somely mounted, the costumes variegated
aud picturesque while the chorus and instru-
mental work were exceedingly effective.
The hits of the performance were scored by
Mr.. Barnabee, as Bunthorne, and as the
0ochIw- /,
July sunshine; Mr.. Karl, as the Idyllic bard
and trustee of beauty, who was as utter as
cigarette slim with fan-me-with-a-
feather ideality; Miss Phil ipps was
overpoweriBg aud ethereal as Lady Jane.
and Mss Timer, who made lovely Patience
Mr.. Baruabee's solo, IF anxious for 10
shine, u ETC., was rapturously applauded. and

Great Work Done-A Noble Woman.

lNiohl tho AIeOy lcIlaus Dec, ~.
The great work accom- plished by the Prot
estant churches in this country can hardly be
estimated. ! have before me an old military
map drawn in 1910. At that time Fort
Smelling was the extreme northwestern point
occupied by white men. A north and south
line drawn through the fort would pass lit
tie west Of New Orleans. All the country
west of that line was unknown and unex-
plored except by the rowing bands of indians
which occasionally passed over il. Out Of
this vast area seven states and as many terri
tories have been formed, and the last census
gives them population something over
5000, 900. What would have been the
character of the people inhabit
ing this vast region had it not been for the
earnest Christian missionary who keep pace
with the advance of this grand army of occu-
pationl Wherever two or more families
located together for mutual protection from
the ravages of the Indians, the banner of the
cross has been reared, churches have been
formed, and from these, as eenters, have
gone out the purest and best inlue noes of
the gospel of our Lord.
The preaching of these good men has
given Zone and character to the people, and
in some of our new western states the society
is as good as in the older states along the
Atlantic seaboard. All these advantages
have come to the people of this vast region
as Gods blessings upon upon the earnest
work of the heroic band of pioneer preachers
who braved the dangers and endured the
hardships of frontier life not for worldly
gain, but for the love of the Master.
Thirty-fYe years ago this was the frontier,
and it was my good fortune to aid in tine
building of the'frst Protestant church in St
Paul. About the same time a territorial gov
eminent was organized, and Alexander
Ramsey, of Pennsylvania, was appointed
governor. He and his young wife reached
st. Paul about June, 1S49. Mrs. Ramsey
was Christian woman, and at once entered
upon the work of doing good by aiding the
poor and pointing them to the great sufferer
on the cross. In all the positions to which
her husband has been called she filed hers
with credit to herself, and never
tainted or faltered in her love for Jesus
Her faith in God was deeo-seated
and she felt 1t to be her duty to convince
those around her Of the genuineness of the
Christian religion. In all the walks of life
she was respected and beloved. Yesterday
we laid her body gently away to await the
resurrection at the last day.
The name of Anna E. Ramsey win lineer
as pleasant memory with many of the poor,
10 whom she was devoted friend. as well as
with thousands who have enioyed her
generous hospitality. She was of the purest
and best type of womanhood, aud all who
enjoyed her acquaintance felt the elevating,
ennooling influence Of her pure Christian
character. R. w. JOHNSON.

CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE.


The severe cold weather yesterday morn
ing had the effect of keeping people at home
to considerable extent. The consequence
was that the attendance at the cathedral was
not quite as large rs has been usual on Christ
mas day Heretofore, on this occasion, it
has been customary TO see the ediice, large
as it is, crowded so that many were compelled
to be satisfied with standing room. Yester-
day the audience was sufficient to I'll nearly
all the seats. both up stairs and down. The
services consisted Of high mass and SER
mon by Father O'ConnOr. The mass,
Gerald's, in B fat, which has been rem
dered here once or twice before, was the one
selected for the occasion. 1t is a compost
ton OF very great beauty, and contains pass
ages of unsurpassed sweetness and grand
eur. It was rendered yesterday under the
direction of Prof. Manner in a way that was
very satisfactory indeed. He has devoted a
great deal of time and attention to the re-
hearsals and the result is that the whole com
position received very fair treatment indeed,
which reflects very great credit upon MIN.
The lady who was to have sung the offer
tOrium, al the last moment was
taken sick, and consequently was unable to
be at the cathedral. Prof. Manner was very
fortunate in being able 10 secure the services
of Mrs Uri L. LampreY, who, upon being
apprised of the unfortunate situation, on the
request OF Prof. Manner kindly consented to
sing, and this too without rehearsal. The
lauies are few who would have consented 10
DO what Mrs. Lamprey did yesterday. II
was pleasant to hear her rich voice once
more in the cathedral. The instrumental
part of the music was furnished o. Seibert's
concert orchestra. There was nothing spe-
cial in regard 70 the sermon. II was suit
able to the occasion and was intended TO in
euleate good morals, proper respect aud
regard for religion and generally the neees-
sity of living a Christian life.

The sale of seats for the engagement Of
Frank Mayo in his new play of ''Nordeck,"
opens at the Grand this morning.
Baltimore Americana
"Nordeck," which was produced last night
at Albaugh's Holiday Street theater for the
first time in Baltimore, with Mr.. Frank Mayo
in the leading and titular role as Waldemar
Nordeek, is a drama founded on Werner's
novel ''Vineta,n aud written by Mr. Mayo
and Mr.. John G. Wilson, of Chicago. It is
described by the programme as ga romantic
play" In reality, it is highly interesting,
emotional drama, of considerable literary
merit, and admirable as an acting play for
sustained interest," conference of plot, vigor-
GUS dialogue, strong and effective situations
and tableaux, and natural but intensely dra-
matte climax. 1t is not too much to say that
1t Is in some respects one of the best acting
plays of the kind created within the past half
dozen years. And it is in the hands of an
excellent company. Mr. Mayo's part is one
very well suited to his peculiar powers. It
is more gracious, and perhaps even a more
truly heroic and nobler role, than others in
which he has achieved success, and his
rendering of it is worthy of decided praise.
Miss Rachel McAuley played the part of the
heroine, Wanda, Polish countess grace
fully, easily, artistically, and not without
strength. An exacting part was that of the
Princess Zulieska, mother of the half brothers,
Nordeck and Leo (Mr. Harry Thompson).
In this city she is so well known as an actress
of admirable tragic and emotional powers,
that to say that she played the part is to state
that it was well played. Witold, uncle to
Nordeck, was portrayed by Mr.. j. H. Taylor
with most eommendable intelligence and
spirit, and two refined and very pleasant
comedy parts-Fabian, the tutor (Mr Edwin
F. Mayo, and his sweetheart Margaret Miss
Sally Williams were very cleverly taken.
The support was, in fact, altogether COM
mendable, with the distressing exception of
the Prince Leo. The costumes were rich and
appropriate, and to scenery and properties
especial attention was paid, with results en-
tirely satisfactory, by Mr.. Slemmer, the
scenic artist Mr.. Welsh, the stage mechan-
zeal director, and Mr.. Ballauf, superinten-
dent of properties. The play was very
warmly received and was eminently success
ful
