DEATHS OF Mr.. AND MRS. JAMES
THOMPSON.
People Who Saw st. Paul From 1912
to 1884, and Lived to a Green
Old Age.

few days ago information was received
in st. Paul by George Thompson of the death
of his mother and father, in Nebraska, where
they were visiting his sister. The letter
which communicates the fact is written by
the sister who says that the mother died on
the 18th inst. and the father on the 18th.
Mrs. Thompson had often expressed the wish
that she might die before her husband, and
in this she was gratifed, though
he survived her but four days.
Mr.. Thompson was a well known and even
a noted parsonage in St. Paul. In the Sun
day GLOBE of January 13, 1884, there ap-
peared an interesting sketch of the subject
of these lines in the Pen Pictures of Major
T. u. Newson. The writer of Pen Pictures
spoke Of Mr.. Thompson as follows: Lying
upon q couch at the residence of Mrs.
O'Den, in West st. Paul, is the emaciated
form Of a mulatto man, about FIVE feet six
inches in height and weighing one hundred
and fifty pounds. He was formerly stout
healthy person, turning the scales above two
hundred, but sickness and old age have con-
spired TO leave but a sem blanee Of
what was once a hale and vieor-
Gus organization. The deceased was
slave in Virginia and started out on
journey with George Monroe, nephew Of
the president of the United States, when a
mere boy. Arriving at Lexington. KY,
Monroe was compelled to part with some Of
his slaves, among whom was Thompson and
his brother and sister. He was taken to ST.
Louis aud in 1927 was brought TO Fort Smell
ing bs Gen. Pike. There he was sold to
Capt Day and was taken to Prairie du Chen
where he was sold 20 Rev. Mr.. Bronson
for $1,000 and made free
man. He was then appointed an interpreter
OF the Sioux Indians. Mr.. Bronson was
minister in the NJ Z. church, and deceased
Was member of the First VI. z. church, St
Paul. He did good deal of good mission
ary work, and was stationed at Kaposiz
where be remained ten years. Subsequently
he went down to Grey Cloud, where he took
up claim with old man HoltOn. He after
wards came back to St Paul He was
married in 1s4s, and had nine children.

these i George Thompson, who is now

Last Thursday evening the ladies of
Plymouth church gave q unique and most
enjoyable entertainment, which consisted of
sociable and supper, the supper being
of corn served in every variety that the skill
of the ladies could invent. Corn was surely
king for that evening. Corn cakes, pud-
ding, bread, hulled corn, popped corn, and
corn of every description, except corn juice,
and of that there was none. The ladies of
that church possess variety of talent as en-
tertainers, and this last effort was a
surprise as well as pleasure.

The Bachelors Ball.

The principle society event of the past
week was the magnificent ball given at the
Metropolitan hotel on last Tuesday evening
by the Bachelors club. 1t brought out all
the younger society people of our city and
will long be remembered as one of the
most thoroughly successful affairs ever given
in st. Paul. The sombre dignity of the
grand old hotel was temporarily transformed
into a veritable scene of enchantment, and
until the edge of the nights last lin gering
moments the gayety was kept up.
The music was enhancing and the cos
tunes of the ladies particularly brilliant.
Too much praise cannot be accorded the
gentlemen who offciated as floor managers,
Messrs. Hamilton, Proudfit, Sibley, Finch,
Potts and Boyle, for the duties required OF
them at bali of this magnitude represent
no trifing matter.

The Crnzu-OuiIt.


Young man did your wife ever make q
crazy quilt? Did she ever see onel II not,
don't let her gaze upon the bewitching
thing. Teach her to drink intoxicating
fluids. Furnish her with all the opium she
can get away with, but as you value your
peace of mind keep from her all knowledge
of the crazy quilt, for if once she gets taste
for making one of these cross-eyed, zig-zag,
insane things, you may bid farewell to all
domestic happiness and at once put yourself
upon the rack Of torture. There is no doubt
nov that this was the apple about which so
much has been said, and which started in
the garden of Eden all the woes that now
affiict the human family. 1t was the
erazy-quilt that did the BUSH
ness, destroyed Adams peace of mind,
drove him out of the garden, started him
out out on his travels and kept him so long
on his journey. 1t long has been thought
that the tree of knowledge had reference to
something else, but Tits is a mistake. Sci
entifc investigation aud laborious research
has demonstrated the fact that Miss Eve had.
as lawyers say, a priori had her attention
called to the erzzy-quilt Having once got
the idea into her head she was unset and
from that time on she gave Adam no mo-
ment OF rest or peace Of mind. She appro-
pristed all his silk handkerchiefs and differed
the silk lining from his derby. She even
raided his silk hose and took all the blue
ard scarlet ones for her crszv-ouilt.
Every last scrap OF striped silk to be
found on the farm she appropriated, and all
the time that she had was devoted to sewing
on this soul-destroying quilt From the time
she first struck il all good was gone out OF
her. She was perfectly valueless for all do
nestle duties, and neglected everything
OF course this did not suit Mr. Adam, who
was naturally of domestic turn of mind.

thirty-fve years Of age, and is well known in
st. Paul He lives on Exchange street, op-
posite the German Catholic church.
The deceased was highly thought of by all
who knew him. AS he was born slave it is
not known precisely how old he was
at the time of his death, but
it is thought he was eighty-six. He
with his own hands helped to build the little
NJ. E. church on Market street, and fur
nished 1000 feet of lumber and 1,50O shin
giles for the roof. He also gave lot that he
owned toward paying for the church. When
Major Newson saw the deceased last Janu-
airy, as stated above, the latter was very feeble.
He subsequently recovered sufficiently to go
out to Nebraska where his relatives were, and
there he died on the 18th as stated.

A Si1rer Wedding Annfrer.arv.

On Monday night the residence of D. D.
Merrill, on college avenue, was visited by
large number of the friends of that gentle
man, to celebrate the silver wedding ami
versary of himself and wife. A considerable
number of the members of the Baptist con
gregatlon were invited TO be present to attend
the annual reception of Mr.. Riddel, their
minister. 1t was intended to keep the fact
of that day being the anuiver-
sary of his marriage concealed
till after they had all assembled.
The fact got out, however, and when they
reached the house they all came bringing
presents. A handsome silver service set
was the principal present and this was be-
slowed upon Mr.. and Mrs. Merrill by Rev.
Mr.. Riddle who made very neat and suita-
