the previous month. Among the Otfenses
charged are few which relate to the social
evil, which is explained by the transfer of
a notorious sergeant to distant precincts OF
usefulness. Of the number of arrests 227,
or more than half, were for drunkenness,
which would indicate the approach of cool
weather does not mitigate thirst for ardent
drinks. Sixty Migrants were taken, the
number being unusually large for this time
OF year, and especially so, considering the
widespread information of the wOrkhOuse.
Of the others forty EIGHT were for disorder,
twenty-one for larceny, sixteen for keeping
saloons open on Sunday, and the balance
for the usual variety OF Otfenses. OF the
227 DRINKS ninety-one were imprisoned,
six discharged and three suspended. the
rest paying fines of So each. The heaviest
fine was SIS, paid for selling liquor with
out a license.
The amount paid into the municipal
court was 81, 540.35, of which S1,1S7.5 90
came from fines and 1852. so from civil
business. The treasury missed the monthly
fine levied on the demi monde of First
street, which, in August, amounted to
$1,312.5 so.
Health Officer Quinby has not yet made
up his report of the mortuary statistics for
October, but the death rate will be found to
have been very low. The city will enter the
winter season with every prospect OF show
ing at the end OF the year death rate con-
siderably reduced from last year. There
were no signs or indications of epidemic OF
peStilence, and the cases of diphtherla,
scarlet fever and similar diseases were very
limited. DR.. Quinby reports the sanitary
condition of the city as entirely satisfactory.
The number of deaths reported thus far
was only so against 133 for the same month
last year, and lis for the last month.
TRITE AND TRIVIAL.
Ed Atterbury tells good story on him
self and Harry Hawley that is characteristic
of the Messrs. Nimocks. The latter had
taken most of the men from the Journal,
and week or so ago Atterbury and Hawley
volunteered to go on the staff. Hawley
wrestled with the markets and Atterbury
had numberless rounds with proofs. When
Saturday came and the envelopes were
passed around, Hawley, with the air OF one
who knew his good work had been appre-
ciated, smilingly opened the envelope and
tragically counted out SIS. Atterbury
breathed hard, and with miserable heart
sinking rent his envelope in twain and dis
covered one SIS bill, one 80 and a cartwheel
dollar. The fortunes they made they have
invested in corner lots. Atterbury says.
feelingly: 81 can never die contentedly
until I know whether IS is the NimOck sal
ary or whether that is all we were worth"

One can imagine how the soul of the
painter and the student shrinks back upon
itself when the foot Of Philistine sullies
the whiteness of its inner sanctuary, as
Charlie Harris might say. But imagine as
familiar a subject as the Venus Aphrodite
being written up as ga beautiful woman
being dashed to the shore on the crest of
huge wave" Yet that is how a morning
paper spoke of Corners last painting.

The American Press association, what
ever that is, has prepared for ''simultane-
GUS publication in 200 Eastern papers" an
illustrated sketch of Minneapolis. AS
funny article it is glittering success. 1t
feelngly describes the new building of the
Minnesota Loan and Trust company and
refers to the accompanying cut" which
is picture of the chamber Of commerce.
1t says Gen. Washburn's residence is ''in
the midst of an elevated plateau in the
western section of the city, overlooking
Central park" Jam Salts!

When the wintry days of winter, with
the GOODNESS of their cold, strike the edito-
rial sanctum, where the editor has yanked
'em, meaning bills so manifold; when the
dreary blasts of autumn, two years later
than he bought 'em. pierce the threadbare
pantaloons for which he never yet has paid;
then the light of life grows DINNER till it
scarcely brings a glimmer OF joy to warm
the happy hopes that threaten now to fade.
The editor feels dreary, likewise weary,
almost teary, and his souls he outward
pours in the mournfulest of verse; the poet
of the Gazette, an Office pet-he's alive
yet-perpetrates the ode which follows and
than which was never worse:
POEM ON SNOW.
The snowfakes fell on Friday
1t was their first fall
This fall
They wont have much luck
To start out on Friday
The poetic snow fiend
Stood in our door
He stood right near the trap
And never knew it
He wouldn't fall
But the snow fell
He had his little roll
And pushed his fingers
Through his hair
And stood on one foot
Just like they all do
Early in the season
Before gloves are worn
We read his sonnet
1t was the first you know
And the first never gets killed
We asked him where he got it
He said he stole it
We thought he was going to say
He just dashed it off
His candor saved his life
What was his price
Well he didn't know
He needed an ulster
And a load of wood
Yes he was gone
Left his poem behind
The mailing clerk
formerly the Office boy
Came back covered with block
OF course this poem don't rhyme,
Neither did hisn
And there are no points in this
Neither was there in hisn
This is better poetry
Than what we can buy
And much cheaper
Have you got enough
Say when YOU We got enough
Enough is enough
We've got him on our list
He never will be missed
He never-
