Ballet Dancers In Paris.

Among the working women of Paris there are
l,027 who earn their living as ballet dancers at
the opera, receiving wages varying from E45 to
els per annum. Besides this the admnistra-
ton furnishes the ladies with every requisite ex-
cept cold cream and rice powder The annual
sum paid for and to the ladies of the ballet is
considered to amount to f170. 900, to which. in
deed, the administration could not be expected
to add the money needed for tons of cold cream
and stones of rice powder. The training is hard
work, which severely strains both master and
pupil, whose ideas of life are often so vastly diff
ferent as to make it difficult matter for them
to understand each other. Put yourself into
the place of the person you represent" says the
professor to his pupil 'If you were suddenly
abandoned by the man you were madly in love
with, what would you dol" 81 should find an

seuse-which. after all, is perhaps both easier
and more practical than to attempt to express
the maddenne despair of abandonment by post

lace gift from the groom. Six months later
the young wife closed her eyes in death Her

The trial of the libel suit of DR.. d. Leonard
Pratt VS.. The Pioneer Press, to recover S10,-
900 damages, was commenced yesterday
morning in Judge Rooms court before the
following struck jury: Lorenzo Day, w. E.

McNair, NJ. w. Nash, w. g. Northrup, s. c.
Robinson, A. H. Rose, o. T. Smith, John A.
Schlener, G. w. Shatta.
The alleged libel complained of was the
publication under the head of ''Culpable
Negligence July 6, 1881, of local item in
which it was stated that the coroner had dis
covered, at late hour the previous night,
that the body of an infant had been lying
dead for several days at house occupied by
Mrs. Hillman on South Fifth street, oppo-
site the Washington school. The child had
lived only few hours and had already begun
to decompose. The mother, Mrs. Jessie
Mankin, was young, inexperienced and pros
trate, and it was only through thoughtful
neighbor, who had accidentally learned the
fact, that the attention Of the authorities
was brought to the matter. DR.. Pratt was
prominently mentioned as the physician who
was responsible for the alleged outrage, and
he Immediately brought suit in the District
court, claiming his reputation as physician
had been damaged to the amount of S1O,O
by the unwarranted and untruthful state
ment The defense was that the publication
was substantially true. The jury returned a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff for 50, 600. A
new trial was granted, and the next time the
case was tried the jury disagreed On third
trial verdict for the plaintiff of $4,000 was
granted. A new trial was granted by Judge
Lochren and affirmed by the supreme COURT
so the case is now having its fourth trial.
The following witnesses were examined: DR..
Fairbairn, j. W. Murray, Mrs. Amelia Hill
man for the prosecution, and Drs. Edwin
Phillips, James Hammond, w. o. Stevens
and j. o. Steele for the defense. The testi-
mony, which consisted principally of expert
answers to hypothetical questions, was closed
about o'clock in the afternoon and given to
the jury.

Tie Legality of VotinD Students in the
Sicth Hard to Be Tested an
fHg COurfs


At the recent city election Lars Swanson,
the Republican nominee for alderman in the
Sixth ward, was declared elected over Jacob
Stoft Democrat Swanson's election was
accomplished by running in lot of Scandi-
navian students who attend the Augsburg
seminary and he was thus given the alleged
majority of forty-seven votes. The question
as to the right of students to vote whose
homes are not in the city is doubtful. Mr..
Swanson was yesterday seated in the council,
but not before notice of contest was served
upon him. The contestant is Gustav Deis-
ting, and the notice which was filed with the
clerk of the district court gives the following
reasons for the contest:
First-That large number of votes, to-wit;
many more in number than the whole majority
of votes cast as claimed for you were counted
for you by the canvassers, which votes were
cast for you st said election by persons having
no legal right to vote in the city and that such
illegal votes so cast exceed seventy in number.
Secondhand large number, at least 80 votes,
more than your whole ajority were cast by
students of seminaries and schools of learning
who were not residents of the city and were in
said city for temporary purposes merely, without
intention Of making the city or county his
or their home and that said studen Is, in fact,
resided outside of Minneapolis; that such votes
of said nonresident students were cast and
counted for you in each Of the precincts of said
ward and were counted for you by said city
council.

The mayor, in his message yesterday,
charged the city council that, Gin economic
ing, we should remember that while the
cheapest way may be the best, it is not nec-
essarily so; that it pays best to pay well for
good article, whether it be labor or, material,
brain or muscle. Economy should be our
watchword, not our epitaph; the genuine ar
ticle that looks not so much to the amount
spent as to what is done with it; the econ
omy which insists on scrutiny and looks be-
yond to results, not the false economy which
imp.des progress by opposing all outlay"
But did the astute aldermen observe the in
junction? Did they 'look beyond to re-
sultsn when they elected a city Attorney"
~
Minneapolis is no longer provincial viii
lage but metropolitan city, and the city
council should appreciate the fact that the
best and most competent men should be en-
ployed aud that competent salaries should be
paid them. The Office of inspector of meats
is unquestionably one of the most important
in the city, and the city is especially fortu-
nate in securing practicing physician for
the position. To expect him to accept the
Office on meager or niggardly salary would
be unreasonable 1t should be from 50, 500
to So, 600 per annum. That is none too
much to compensate professional man
who has spent years in study, and especially
in studying that which pertains particularly
to the duties of the office. DR.. Lees ap-
pointment is an excellent one and the city
may be congratulated.
