THE GLOBE ANNUAL REVIEW.

Every year since its existence the GLOBE
has issued, on the 3lst 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 imitators but 10 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 1t upon such 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, will aim to be first in securing advertis-
ing positions.

Jim, Fisk's Generosity.

"When l was head cutter for the late Mr..
Linthicum," said a Fourteenth street tailor,
''Col. Fisk was among Mr.. Linthicum's Gus
toners. The store was under the Metropoli-
tan hotel. The first time l saw the colonel
was when he came in and ordered three of
the finest suits Of clothes that could be made.
The colonel, on account of fatness, was a
hard man to fit, but 1 laid myself out to
please him. The suits were tried on, and a
few days afterward he dropped in and said:
go to--,'s mentioning one of the finest
OF Broadway jewelry stores, 'and see what
he's got for you l thought he was joking,
but as soon as knocked off that afternoon,
l went to the store and asked if Col Fisk
had left any orders for me.
. L should say he had,' replied the pro-
prietor. He said that you were to choose a
souvenir from these three rings and he put
three splendid diamond rings on mat on
the counter. Take your choice, please I've
other customers to attend to. Col. Fisk told
me to send the bill for the ring that you
chose to him. Well, chose this ring, and
l wouldn't part with it for any amount Of
money unless my wife and 1 were starving.
1t has twenty-three diamonds, you see, and
the jeweler told me that the diamonds, with
out the workmanship on the ring, were worth
about $780, Col. Fisk had his faults, they
say, but I'll never believe that man who
could show such kindness to poor workman
had any very grave faults. New York San.

Some Interesting Correspondence In
the Grant-Chaffee Reference
Sniff

NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-In the Grant haffee
suit, Coils. B. Elkins testfes that Grant
told him his father-in-law had claim for
about $500, 600 which amount the latter had
advanced the firm.
"Grant showed me-" said the witness,
contract receipts to prove the firm
was not in such a bad way. They
read: Received from U. s. Grant, Jr.,
blank dollars which we promise to pay within
sixty days with thirty per cent. interest. l
had never seen anything like it. l put the
receipts in pigeonhole as worthless. The
amounts mentioned were about 500, 900 or
100000. / made no enquiry where the
money was raised or what was done with it.
We were not as cool then as we are now"
Col. Bliss offered in evidence a letter dated
May 4. 1884, written by Ward to Elkins for
his kindness and adds:
Fish has secured 500, 600 and 1 have
100000, which will prevent trouble. You
can rely on me-"
The following letter to U. s. Grant, Jr.,
was also put in:
May 5, 1SS4.-Dear Buck: I am very
much afraid the end has come, and that I'M

Ennchnl,rffa.

The following is the argument Of Serpette's
opera bouffe "Fanchonette," 10 be presented
for the first time in St. Paul during the en-
gagement Of the Boston Ideal Opera com
pany in this city next week:
The principal interest Of the story Of the
opera ''FancnonetIeh is found in the com
pick complications arising from the extra
ordinary resemblance OF the twin sisters,
Fauchonette and Clarice uhe former mil
liner and costumer, the latter an opera
singer, aud the numerous lovers of the lat
ter, VINO, when their unweicome offers were
rejected, seek consolation of the less prudish
sister, Fanchonette. Clariee loves and is
beloved by the young Count de SayignY, but
has been so unfortunate as to win the adj
miration and inhame the heart of the too
susceptible king, Louis Quinze, who,
in order TO possess the beautiful
opera singer, instructs De Caramelle,
his minister OF police, 10 devise
means 10 entrap her. Hector de Caramelle,
an aged prohigate, a henpecked husband, a
salacious but senile amoroso, totally unfit for
bis high position, but ready to pander 10 the
passion OF his royal master, employs the
whole Of his detective force QneludiDg the
private Inquiry" who watch the deiectives)
TO hunt down the opera singer and her lover.
But, thanks TO the resem blanee Of the sis
tiers, the stupidity of De Carsmelle and his
officers, the skill Of the actress singer, and
the devotion of the count, they contrive not
only TO outwit them aud remain at Liberty,
but also cause them 10 commit many ludi-
crous blunders, and fiually, with the consent
OF the king, are relieved from persecution
and are united.
Incidental to the main story, much amuse-
ment is caused by the perplexities Of Bijou,
n mulatto basket boy, aud Madame de Cara
melle. Bijou falls desperately iu love with
Clarice, but fails to make an impression.
When sent by Savigny to the millinery es-
Enlistment of Fanchonette, be encounters
Clarice disguised as her sister land manag
ing the business while FanehoDette is away
misleading the deteetves); he again falls
desperately in love aud seeks con-
ISOLATION OF the supposed Fan
chonette. This passion OF the
negro is turned to good account by Clarice
and her lover. Madame de Caramelle is a
ire-eating female martinez, who has studied
fencing with master for three years, and
seeks TO avenge grievous wrong. She has
been kissed in the dark by some unknown
man, and is, in turn, led TO believe it was
Savigny, (Clarice in the disguise of an OFF,
cer) and the negro, Biiou. She seeks TO
avenge her desecrated lips, her dislocated
honor, and finally learns the desecrator and
dislocator to be her husband, De Caramelle.
who thought he was kissing Clariee.

New York Letter to Cincinnati Enquirer
Mr.. Cleveland gives himself much less
concern about what is thought and gossip
ped than anybody else. He does not seem
to be curious nor inquisitive. He lives in
an agreeable and rather large house provided
by the state, which is half mile or so from
the Capitol, and he walks to and fro, and Of
late has been taking his official business
home and working at night so as to get out
of the range Of callers and still perform his
tasks. His remarkable success in politics
may have seemed to him providential Or the
reward Of sticking to the plain duties in
hand. He is really very little known In
Albany and imperfectly known in the state.
One Of the tradesmen in Albany said to
me: ''This man Cleveland has got the con-
fdence Of our average people BY attending
to his business. They do not think that he
is great man, but they believe him to be a
firm one, and one who does not much con-

END OF BLATNE,S LTBE1 SUIT

Mr.. Blaine confesses that his suit against
the indianapolis Sentinel was for political
effect, by withdrawing it, which he did yes
terday. His plea that he could not get a lust
verdict in Indiana is puerile. He
withdrew the suit because it had never
been intended for anything but a campaign
document and just verdict is what he does
not desire to have matter of record.
The Republicans were in high glee when
this suit was begun and heralded it as
vindication, while they tainted
the Democrats because Gov. Cleye-
land did not prosecute his defamers.
The sequel shows the characteristics of the
two men. The one dares to ''tell the truth. :,
the other seeks to conceal and deny the truth
by bogus libel suits. 1t is fortunate for the
country that the former is the president elect.

ADJUSTMENTS.


Aohhu tAc 1S0v Of hNItfa-
Mr.. stoddard delivered the fifth lecture of
his course at the Grand Opera house last
evening, taking for his subject the Bay Of
Naples. The night was extremely cold, and
before half his lecture was delivered Mr.
Stoddard remarked that the atmosphere OF St
Paul was somewhat cooler than that Of
Naples, and that as be had caught his first
and only cold Of last season in this city, be
would take the precaution Of retiring from
the stage and putting on bis cloak The aud
fence, however, experienced no disagreeable
glacial sensations, the lecturers ehilliness
being occasioned BY being stationed in
drsught Of air at the side Of
the stage. II Is unnecessary to
make mention Of Mr. Stoddard's manner.
His lectures are all popular and full Of in
struction, and that Of last evening was no
less so than those which have proceeded It.
To the student of ancient history as well as
to those who see in the Italy Of other days
something akin to romance the glimpses BY
word OF mouth and canvass sketches given
by Mr.. Stoddard are full Of entertainment
and leave on many minds an ini preston
more vivid aud lasting than could be reached
by the perusal of dozens Of dusty tones on
the people and manners Of the Naples Of
$500 years ago. At THIS time the history Of
Rome was the history Of the world, and
when Christ was on the cross in Gallilee
Tiberius was its master. In hurriedly sketch
ing the history OF the surroundings Of the
bay Of Naples Mr.. Stoddard made
brief reference TO some Of the great
poets and statesmen who have lived In
this yeritsble tomb OF ancient renoEn. Per
haps the most deeply interesting portion Of
the lecture was the description aud illustra-
ton Of the fatal Isle OF Ischia, on which, in
1888, 5000 people lost their lives in the city
OF Cassamicciola. Mr. Stoddard closed with
the projection on canvas OF the Bay OF Naples
by moonlight, repeating at the same time I.

BENNY BREWSTER is very tired of playing
Attorney General, and is disposed to do as
little as possible in future, except to draw
his pay. To relieve himself of being bored
by all sorts of questions from all sorts of
people he has issued circular setting forth
that he is not required by law to answer any
questions except they are submitted by the
President or member of the Cabinet. and
in future he won't do it. If Benny had pur-
sued this course all along he would have
more reputation for learning in the law that
