B. Davids, in a house known as
the brick building situate at
the corner of Fifth avenue south and Wash
ington avenue, and there lived in adulterous
intercourse with him, the crime being COM
mitted without the plaintiffs consent or con-
nivance. Wherefore divorce is asked.

Of all the men on the force, Officer Kirk
ham relished little fun the best He is
never happier than when he be can frighten
tramp of the old school. These pilgrims
lave become an abominable nuisance Of
late at the city bastile, and now every morn
ing, when they are to be turned loose, Kirk
ham Is on hand and an active participant in
the exercises. He gets the vags in line and
assuming q fierce expression calculated to
curdle the blood in the veius of the vaga-
bonds, he suddenly gives Sioux war whoop
| and fires his revolver. The tramps, OF
course, think they are to be murdered and
run frantically in all directions. When
there are women prisoners, the latter usually
faint or scream Historically for help, while
the dogs bark and the tramps yell. 1t is q
perfect pendemonium.
Minneapolis has a new go-as-you-please
pedestrian i'll the person of c. f. Conant, an
attorney, and if he can always do as well as
yesterday j. S. Barnes cannot long claim the
championship OF the northwest. He was
Reid's attorney in the bicycle-horse collision
action before Judge Bailey yesterday. To Mr..
Wilson, the defendant, Conant remarked,
tauntingly, ~ don't suppose we can. collect
if we 10 get a judgment Your pro-
perty is all in your wife's name"
This proposition so enraged Wilson that he
swore dire vengeance. Conant soon after
slipped quietly from the room, but Wilson'S
eagle eye was upon him and he started in
pursuit, 1t was a race for life, apparently
Up Second street COnant dashed wildly, with
his follower close behind. Coat tails streamed
behind, and people watched with amazement.
But Conant was fleet as doe and distanced
the irate ayenger.
Many ludicrous incidents are the results of
noyices putting roller skates on for the first
time. Probably the funniest that has oc-
CURED in Minneapolis was the figure which
Paul Schmedeman cut the other night. An
aesthetic, highly perfumed and styiishly
dressed young man has for some time made
q practice of leaving his skates and oil can,
enveloped in a fancy hand satchel, at Paul's
place. Business was dull and Paul hungered
for diversion. In those skates he found it,
and plenty of 1t. At first he worked eau
tiOusly but soon grew bold and struck out.
The entire block shook and trembled from
the conclusion which followed. Paul picked
up his hattened anatomy, and a madden man
never was. He pulled off those odious
skates and fired them across the room. Nut
tering '1'll get even with that dude" he
filed up the oil can with whisky. Paul has
since found it uncomfortable TO occupy his
easy chair.
John ID. Stoddard, the favorite of the plat
form, opened his Minneapolis course last
evening, to fair and decidedly appreciative
audience. Mr.. Stoddard presented his sub
iect, versailles and Marie Antoinette," in
a charming manner and its interest was en-
HANGED by the elegant views thrown upon the
screen. This lecture is the same as given at
the opening of the ST. Paul course, Monday
evening, and a repetition of the fulsome
praise extended for his work on that occasion
need not be repeated at this time. Combin-
ing in very marked degree, both instruc-
ton and pleasure, these lectures take rank
with the best entertainments ever presen ted
to critical and appreciative Minneapolis au-
dience. Mr.. Stoddard remains the rest Of the
week presenting the same course as given in
st. Paul. Tonight, ''Paris in the Reign Of
Terror, is the subject The Opera house
should be filled to overlooking at every ap-
pearance Of the cultured Bostoniau.
