CURRENT COMMENT.

A GLOBE reporter saw an invitation and
pass from Chicago to the railway car ac-
countants' annual meeting, to be held in
this city on Friday, June 3d. The invita-
tons are novel and neat, and in the most
modern style of the ''art preservative."
The arrangements for an excursion from
Chicago via the Chicago & Northwestern
road have been cOnSummated, and one OF
the most ENJOYABLE occasions is predicted.

81 intend to lay double track to Lake
Calhoun this season." said Col. McCrOry
yesterday. 81 find that cannot satisfac-
tOrily accommodate my patrons with the
present facilities. The Eighth ward is rap
idly being settled and the passenger traffic
is becoming of vast proportions. 1t is one
of the characteristics of Western people
to have an uncomfortable desire to reach a
certain point in as few minutes as possible,
and have concluded that by the addition
of another track / can satisfy the demand.
/ can have it laid in a remarkably short
time after the initiative step has been taken,
which will be soon."

A typographical error in the GLOBE on
Friday morning made a slight blunder in an
article in relation to the tangled condition
of the new divisions OF the city. The East
side is divided by Central and Division
avenues into the northeast" and south
east" and not northwest and southwest as
stated This error induced one Of the
papers to voice the injury OF some of the
city officials responsible for the blunder and
contradict some of the statements made.
However, the divisions as given are correct
and are so used by Building Inspec-
tor Pardee and by c. w. Dawson in
the new directory 1t is true also, that real
make have or tail of the new arrangements,
and equally true that directory canvassers
have become hopelessly tangled up and
have been compelled to return and get new
bearings.
Credit may as well be given where credit
is due. In the st. Paul department of the
GLOBE Yesterday morning was an account
of the arrest of two thieves in Minneapolis
for robbery in St. Paul, with the state
ment that ST. Paul officers had procured
the arrest. The fact is that Officer James
Howard arrested the men-Morris naild
Tobin-on Washington avenue for another
offence, and after the arrest it wasIfound
they were wanted in St. Paul for robbery
over Graus' Oh East Third street.

If the attaches of the Grand pulled the
wrong man out of the gallery on Monday
night, they were still very excusable. The
''gods" had been behaving in shameful
way and the respectable people below were
much disguised. Some one had card la
beled: ''Pass this to the next fool" which
was circulated about the gallery. From
quiet fun the affair grew to boisterous hilar-
ity and the attaches only went up when it
became uncomfortable.

Col. McCrary's handsome steamer which
is to ply the waters of Lake Minnetonka
this summer in connection with the motor
line, is nearly completed. To accept the
coloners enthusiastic expression when re-
ferring to it, ''she will be clipper" The
boat will run at the rate of twenty miles an
hour, has modern screw wheel and will
have capacity to carry 200 passengers.
1t will probably require two more weeks to
finish the boat which is all done except
the railing on the upper deck, the pilot
house and the doors. The Iowa Iron
Works company are the manufacturers.
