CURRENT COMMENT.

The question of the appointment of Mr..
BaSsford to the position OF supervising arch
itect continues to be the all-absorbing
theme of conversation on the street corners.
When number of men cOngregated yes
terday it was perfectly safe to conjecture
that they were discussing the matter. There
are many who feel particularly sore because
of Mr.. Longs defeat, and there are many
who are outspoken in expressing their salts
faction with Secretary Manning's choice.
Said w. III. Grimshaw, architect, who
drafted the plans for many of the best
school structures of the city: 81 have known
Mr.. Long for long time, and have known
him as Republican. have seen him
stand at the polls at different elections and
peddle Republican tickets, and to have had
him supersede Mr.. HOdgsOn, who is a far
better architect, would have been gross
imposition. I would have preferred
that Minneapolis architect should
have been given the position rather
than Mr.. Bassford, however, yet esteem
the appOintee competent and response
BILE in every particular. And again. is it
any worse for Minneapolis that ST. Paul
man should have been given the position
than for many of our leading citizens to
have their plans for blocks and buildings

Herricks & Lowry"

GA very wrong impression has gained
credence," remarked J. J. Ankeny.' Mr.
Long have known for seventeen years
and have known him to be Democrat dur
ing all that time. Perhaps he has not
taken off his coat and worked as others
have, but he has been liberal with his
money. He contributed to the Cleveland
campaign fund last fall. This know, be-
cause l was member of the central COM
mittee. do not say this because Mr..
Long is a particular friend, but because 1
think an injustice has been done him, and
an injustice that should be righted." n
~
Said Democrat: 81 should much pre-
fer to have Mr.. Hodgson retained than to
have questionable Democrat appointed"
~
E. M. Wilson stated that Hon. O.. C.
Merriman was to have left for Washington
last night to endeavor to secure if possible,
revocation of MI. Bassford's appointment,
and the opinion that he had gone on that
mission was prevalent ON the streets last
evening.
Architect W. H. Dennis said that Mr..
Long had always been a Republican up to
the election of President Cleveland.
Shortly after that MI. Long had said to
him that he Uong) had always been a
Democrat.
*x*
81 am surprised remarked Washing
ton avenue merchant, '.tlIat our city coun-
Gil has not purchased a street sweeper.
With paved streets sweeper is an essential.
They cannot be kept decently clean with
out. AS it is big crew of men with
shovels make an attempt occasionally at a
great cost to the city. The only virtue the
shovel system has to commend it is that it
gives employment to needy laborers. But
why cannot these same laborers be given
employment in making other needed inn
provements?"

''This has been our dullest day this
month";, were the words of Nicollet ave-

been scarcely any business all day, and do

Mrs. Dudley's Antecedents.

LONDON, FEBRUARY 4.-Further inyesti-
CATION of MRS. Dudley's antecedents in
England shows that when she learned
she had been deceived by a mock mar
riage to person in the south of England
she became mad, but declined to prese>
cate her betrayer. Persons intimately
acquainted with her say that her love for
her children was SO intense that for a
loug time after their death she daily WIS.,
tied their graves, and fwould lie on the
mound for hours frantieally appealing to
her children to come back to her.
Rev. Mr.. Meyrick, chaplain, of the
Millbank prison, where Mrs. Dudley was
incaroerated for short time on the
charge Of attempting suicide by poison :
ing, in an interview to day said; "While
Mrs. Dudley was in Millbank prison she
suffered from insomnia, and took narcot-
les to produce sleep. She affected mad
ness. was generous and impulsive and
benevolent, and ever helped the sufferers
in the institution. At one time she
formed scheme for nursing children of
the poor so their mothers would be ena.

ary last Mrs. DRdley wrote to Mr.. Mey-
rick from New York as follows:
Il cannot say that the suicidal i'm
pulse will return, but have taken pre-
cautions to insure my personal safety"
She offered In the same letter to pay the
passage of q friendless orphan from
England TO America. She seemed greatly
interested in the orphan. and said she
would find lucrative employment if she
came to America. "The girl was never

dynamite outrages in England caused
her brain to give way" During her voy-
age to New York she had 13 epileptic
fts. 1t is believed she was in Paris, and
