The Queen of the Dudes Suffering
From Ill-Natured Criticism
land Lillian Russell
Lost her hustle
All on account of

Lost her hustle
All on account of
A dude. u4T
This is the closing strain of a popular
song of the day in which the poet exercises
poetical license, both wholesale and retail.
But Lillian hasn't lost her hustle Any
one who saw her as Richard Carr in Billee
Taylor will not be lead to think she has,
either. Like Fannie Davenport, Lillian is
suffering considerably from remarks of
smart writers because she is getting fat.
She has this continually thrust at her as if
it were an objectionable sin for her to
stretch the lines of beauty hairs breadth
beyond the established standard. What a
source of annoyance and mortitica-
ton this must be to a beautiful
woman, who has always been admired and
praised. 1t is far more cruel than growing
old, for that is anticipated as inevitable.
The Chicago News has this to say in her
behalf, which is not more kind than just:
1--WE must admit to having been agreeably
disappointed with Miss Lillian Russell's
performances III comic opera this week. In
spite OF her malodOrous reputation and her
prodigious heft she seems to be in fair
way of making a success of her provincial
tour. She sings much better than the pro-
fessional critics are willing to admit, her
face is quite as attractive as ever, she has
a remarkably pleasing speaking voice, with
all her avoirdupois she is graceful and dig
nifed, and she is certainly striving hard
to please. We think it would be fair to
give this woman all the credit that belongs
to her; we don't believe in the habit of
damning people simply because it is fash
ionable to do So"

NOTE BOOK ETCHINGS.

In glancing over the report of the police
clerk some singular information is obtained.
For instance, the report shows that more
carpenters were arrested than men follow
ing any other calling. This is strange when
it is known that carpenters are generally
on the square. Still 14s of them were
yanked in, while the lookup was graced
during the year by only cowboys. Ten
actors and actresses peered from behind
the bars, lawyers were caught in limbo,
dressmakers were taken in and yet only

SATTERLEE.S SARCASM,
The PrOhibitiOnist Brother Shows
He Has Kept His Eyes open.

The political reform school of the city of
Minneapolis, having taken vacation for
the holidays, it seems to me that it would
be treating it in a very shabby manner not
to speak of some of the work which it has
done. The teachers have been full of
matter" and the scholars apt.
The following, as sample of the recta-
tionS. is supposed to have been given in the
presence of the city officials while the said
magnates were visiting the school to inquire
into its progress:
The model class is called out and the
teacher conducts an examination on Reforms
in Municipal Government.
Teacher-What is municipal government?
Class lin concert. 1.-The reign of the cops.
Teacher-How is municipal government di-
vided?
Small Boy-Into policies.
Teacher-What is q policy?
Class-Its 'merchine'' without any
'crank.''
Teacher-How is it run?
Pupil-It is run by Spirits
Teacher-How many policies are there?
ClasS-Two.
Teacher-Name them?
Small Boy-One is called the wide OPEN
and the other the reform" policy
Teacher-What is the wide-open policy?
Class-It is to leave both ends of the sa-
looms open and take share of their profits
permit the houses of ill-fame to locate where
most convenient for their customers and
take ''hush money once a week.
Teacher-What is the reform policy?
Class-It is to close the front door of sa-
looms on Sunday by a series of hidden springs
called ''spasms,' take larger share of the
profits of the business, mass the houses of
ill-fame on First street and take more ''hush
money. collecting twice month if the Beth
any home and other causes need it.
Teachec-Who was chief collector of "hush
money!
Sman Boy-The martyr Stephen.
Teacher-What became of Stephen?
Class-He was stoned to death.
Teacher-What did they stone Stephen for?
Small Boy-Cause they said he took ''hush
money for himself?
Teacher-Had he no right to take ''hush
money!
High Moral Pupil-Yes, just as much as the
city.
Teacher-Was it wrong in the city to take
monthly "hush money!"
Class-No; because it was the reform policy
for which ministers and other pious people
prayed.
Teacher-Would nobody pray for Stephen?
Sad-Eyed Pupil-No; he was bought with
a price from the wide-open policy, and. being

A SENATOR SUED.
Hon. William SVindcr., u Defendant
in q Suit fer Breach Of Contract.

in Suit fO n ESreach of Contract.
William Window, eX-United States sena-
tor, and eX-Secretary Of the treasury, yes
tried before Judge Young. in which A. B.
Barton. as plaintiff, sues to recover, with
interest from July, 1879, $23, los, ON an
alleged breach of contract. A jury trial
was waived, and the evidence was heard by
the court, it being stipulated that the argu-
ments shall be submitted by briefs within
forty days. Hon. E. NJ. Wilson, the dis
tinguished Democratic attorney appeared
as counsel for Mr.. Window, and Gen. Sall-
born, the Republican warhorse of st. Paul.
for the plaintiff. The case as detailed in
the complaint and answer is briefly as
follows:
The plaintiff alleges that Window, about
1868 owned One-eighteenth of the entire
stock of the Northern Pacific railroad, or
1888, 900 of the stock; that in 1868 Window
transferred to w. S. King one three-hundredth
of the whole of this stock with the privilege
of securing the whole 18th part at 90
per cent, or S533, 600 of stock for SIS, 165. In
August 1869. Barton bought $l33, 1888 of the
stock for So, 1888. SO. Only $57 900 of the stock
was delivered, and Window gave notes to
Barton for $5,343. Window afterwards paid
Barton $4,000. This left balance due Bar
ton of $23, l6S in July, 1879, as he alleges, and
for which sum and interest he brings this
suit.
THE DEFENDANT
holds that plaintiff has received all
the stock he is entitled to- detailing
in his answer some of the financial difficulties
of the Northern Pacific company, and denies
that he caused any of his interest to be placed
in William S. Kings hands. as alleged, and
says the interest referred to was
Kings property. He denies ever hav-
ing made any sale of stock whatsoever
to the plaintiff, and asserts that the
stock sold by King was his own property. The
defendant became possessed of the PLAINTIFF S
notes through business transactions with Mr.
King. The plaintiff professed his inability to
pay the same, and requested of the defendant
the privilege of surrendering to him such por-
ton of his interest acquired from Mr.. King
as would be proportionate to the amount of
the notes, which was estimated at ST, 1888 80.
In consideration of this the defendant sur
rendered the notes, the plaintiff retaining
$4,000 OF stock and the defendant receiving
$40, 1873 80, or what such interests might there
after represent.
The defendant alleges that Barton received
all the stock he was entitled to, and denies
that he has received any more than his pro-
portionate allowance. The further payment
of SIS, 600 of stock was made under miSap-
prehension on the part of the defendant, and
plaintiff was not entitled to it.
Only one witness was examined outside
of the plaintiff and defendant, this being
Col. w. S. King, who testified that he held
a joint interest in the stock transferred to
the plaintiff. Considerable time was con-
sumed in argument concerning the admis-
sion of evidence, and the hearing occupied
about three hours.

The suit involves land at Hassan worth

Annie Hoag, the plaintiff holding deed
from Fred E. Hoag, to whom it is claimed
the land was decided by Annie Hoag. and
the defendant claiming deed direct from

points of the suit are substantially the same

COURT CASES.
The suit of J. O. Smith VS.. the Hennepin
Barrel company to recover certain shares of
stock was partially tried and arguments are
to be submitted by Jan. II.
The divorce suit of Albertina Gelle VS..
August Gelle was tried and submitted. The
plaintiff was a widow with two children,
and the defendant widower with seven
children. The plaintiff alleges that at the
time of her marriage in 1882 that she pos
sesSed personal property valued at $4,000
and a farm at Maple Grove worth S. 000.
1t is claimed that the defendant and his
children entered into a deliberate plan to
drive her from her home by cruelty and in
suits, coupled with neglect and failure to
educate NJ children. This course of treat
ment resulted in her leaving, and she now
asks for a separation, partition of property
and alimony.
ANOTHER DIVORCE.
Elizabeth H. White. aged "a years. yes
terday commenced suit for divorce from
Richard S. White, who is three years her
senior. They were married Oct. 80, 1875,
at st. Andrews, Quebec, and have two
children. The plaintiff prefers several
charges. any one of which, if proven. will
be sufficient to procure the coveted separa-
ton, viz: Desertion, habitual drunkenness,
neglect, abuse, cruelty. threatening to take
her life and adultery with different women
at times specifically mentioned.
Judge KOon yesterday denied petition
for distribution of assets in the assignment
of Jacob Deutsch among creditors who
have not filed releases. The court does not
find that Deutsch has fraudulently con-
cealed a portion of his estate within the
meaning of section 43 of the insolvent law
as is alleged in the petition. There is no
direct proof of any concealment, and SEEM
ing discrepancies as to the value of the as
signor's millinery stock before and after
the assignment is accounted for by the fact
that the goods are of perishabie nature,
and liable to depreciate in value.

And the Horse Was Blind.

Frank B. Fuller was arrested yesterday at
the instance of John Nadell. upon charge
of obtaining property under false pretenses.
The complaint alleged that the defendant
traded to the complaining witness lots and

apolis, which lots are situated on Garfield
avenue, between Thirty and Thirty
eighth Streets representing the same to be
worth 1,400, whereas in reality they are
only worth $780, or just $1,000 less.
Furthermore, the complainant alleges that
the lots were represented to be Oh Blaisdell
avenue, some two miles nearer the city.
Another allegation was that the complain
ant gave in exchange for the land in ques-
ton horse, spring wagon, harness and $40
in money, and it was explained that the
horse was blind at that The court lost no
time in dismissing the case. If the lots
were worth $500 the equivalent was small

THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
A Review of the Business for the
Year 1885.

The business of the municipal court has
been largely increased the past year. The
receipts of the court from criminal and civil
sources have aggregated to date over $24,-
500. During the month of Juue the largest
amount of money was received (S2, 1856. so,
and in February the smallest amount
Isl, 013.75.) Owing to the vascillating pol
icy Of the city government regarding the
social evil, under the management of Clerk
Stevens, the amounts of fines collected from
the houses of ilI-fame have met with mater
ial change from month to month.
There have been about 1900 arraign-
ments during the year, and 1,700 commit
ments have been issued, and 1875 defendants
have been held to await the action of the
grand jury.
Following are the receipts of the court by
months to date:
