had consulted the wishes or ambitions of

alliance which Ecuador tried to effect would
have been made and then we would not
have got Santos out of the Ecuadorian
clutches without a fight. In Santiago the
people showed their dislike for us in every
possible way. Their officials openly declar-

ours in three hours conflict, and that moth
ing would please them better than chance
to loot San Francisco"

THE CITADEL ACADEMY.

IMessrs. Editors: In your issue of the 18th
instant we notice the name of our very ef-
ficient and worthy Superintendent of Edu-
cation (Col. Coward) suggested, to fill the
vacancy in the Citadel Academy, caused by
the resignation of Col. J. P. Thomas.
While we admit that no more competent
person could be selected to fill the vacancy,
yet we think it would be doing injustice to
the cause of popular education to deprive
the State of the services of one so we'll
qualified to discharge the duties of the
office of State Superintendent of Education,
and one so acceptable to the people of the
State, both white and colored. Not because
we love the Citadel less, but because we
love popular education more, would we
regret to see the present Superintendent
of Education give up, his position to take
charge of the Citadel or any other institu-
ton of learning. During his administra-
ton, educational matters have gone on
smoothly, quietly and progressively, and
we hope and believe he will be retained in
his present position so long as he is willing
to serve the people. There are many in the
State who could take charge of the Citadel,
but few who would suit the position of State
Superintendent of Education. Col. Coward
is the right man in the right place, and let
us keep him there as long as we possibly
can. L.

bread, putting the balance Of the sugar in it,
After baking the bread, it remained undisturbed
until Monday morning, when at breakfast all
the family partook of it except Mary Ellen Will
liams, the step-mother.
Soon after breakfast those who had eaten Of the
bread became violently sick with intense nausea
and pains in the stomach. DR.. Anderson was
summoned, and he had Dr. Love called, but the
subtle poison had gained the mastery, and de-
spite their efforts the last of the victims died at
o'clock on Tuesday morning.
It was shown that after breakfast on Monday,
Mary Ellen took the bread left over from the
meal and threw it into pen containing two hogs.
The bread was eaten by the animals, one of which
died, and the other showed the effects Of poi
son. Crumbs of the bread were swallowed by
chickens, several Of which died.
All the persons who ate of the bread have died
except Adam, the step. son, who took only
small quantity, and he is dangerously sick with
but little prospect of recovery.
The jury of inquest, empaneled by Trial JUS
tice Nunnery acting as coroner, was composed
as follows: S. n. True, foreman: A. w. GLADDEN.,
w. R. Conrad, b. +. Hardin, W. j. Smith, J. C.
Hudson. w. Y. Dunlap, Joe Williams, Allen
Roberts, John Lowry, Lawson Holts and Monroe
Lowry, the last five named colored. The fol-
lowing is the verdict they returned: "That the
deceased came to their deaths by reason of pois-
on CROUCH on rats administered by Mary Ell
len Williams
In accordance with the finding Of the jury the
Coroner issued warrant for the arrest Of the
accused and she was duly committed to Jail.
Aquantity of poison known as trough on rats
was found in the house, which Mary Ellen ad-
mits she purchased in Chester short time ago.
In view of the deadly nature Of this preparation,
and the ease with which it can be handled by
anybody, this and similar cases that have occur
red throughout the country recently, should ad-
monish druggists to be more careful as to the re-
sponsibility of the persons to whom they sellit.
Physicians tell us that it is deadly poison as
strychnine or arsenic, and should come within
the prohibition of the statute the same as all
other poisons.

How to Act at the Circus Discussed d
Among Other Things.
The Buttercups took Pinkie to the circus
to see the animals-strange what fond
ness for animals is developed in commu-
nifty by the arrival OF a circus-and they
invited a gentleman friend, a sweet youth
who wears glasses, to accompany them.
Oh my, wasn't it hot! But young Mrs. B.
was an old sweetheart of his; so, of course,
he got himself up regardless, and equally
of course he felt bound to make things
pleasant for Pinkie. Laying himself out
to be agreeable he began proceedings by
tripping over his own cane and depositing
all about the place the refreshments which
had been entrusted to his care; candies.
figs, oranges. ct cetera, what a mess they
did make, and two old maids sitting next
to him laughed as if they thought it an ex-
cellent joke to see him scramble around in
his wild endeayors to secure some of the
fragments, and this was but the beginning.
Was there anything that child didn't want?
She drank lemonade by the gallon, ate pea
nuts by the quart, devOured apples and
oranges by the dozen and reveled in confec-
tionery. She had to be famed and kissed,
and perhaps you may think she wasn't
sticky. She wanted to stand up and sit
down, and be held, and If by any chance she
was quiet three consecutive minutes, Mary,
the nurse, would exclaim in tones of agony,
''Why, where is Pinkie?" and then Pinkie
would Immediately want drink. The per-
spiration stood in great drops upon that
young mans forehead and his collar had
wilted till it was no longer visible to the
naked eye, but those old maids had no pity
in their souls, and every time he stood UP
one of them would nudge him and remark
that she didn't pay 25 cents extra for re-
served seat for the pleasure of gazing upon
his back. He did for few minutes lose

MINNETONKA LAKELETs.
The Season Fairly Open at this De-
lightful Resort.

lightful Resort.
The season of 1885 at Minnetonka is now
open, and for the next ten weeks business
at this famous resort will be of lively
character. All the hotels, with the excep-
tion of Hotel st. Louis, which opens July
1, are now ready to receive guests; a major
ity of the ITO cottages are occupied, and
with summer time tables by rail and boat in
force, there is nothing lacking to give the
seasons opening week successful boom.
During the coming week a large number of
young people, released from the cares Of
school-life, will take up their abode at the
lake, and the fathers and mothers will come
along to attend to the wants Of their loved
oneS as well as to enjoy rest and pleasure
for themselves. A few more days of warm
weather will send thousands lakeward, and
the season will then be at it's best.
AT THE LAKE PARK.
ssI think there is no more desirable loca-
ton on the lake for a summer hotel than
this" said an Eastern man as he passed the
Lake Park hotel grounds yesterday after
noon on the steamer, II think, " he added,
s'that for season of rest and comfort no
place at Minnetonka can be found to excel
this delightful spot, and propose to spend
the summer here with my family" This is
a sample of the remarks constantly being
made with reference to the Lake Park
hotel, which opened 1t doors yesterday for
the season. The house has been repainted
and thoroughly renovated during the spring
and the grounds about the hotel are in
splendid condition. Manager Mcintyre
was on deck yesterday and during a talk
with the GLOBE expressed himself as salts
fled with the prospects fora good season.
The bookings announced in another column
indicate that there is considerable founda-
ton for this remark. The rates will re-
main at So per day, and the service will be
upon the same generous plan as last year.
Prof. Fred. Hoppe has already arrived with

Last Weeks DOings by the Cay
Coming and Going.

Coming and Going.
Last week was the dullest on record, in a
social sense There was not single re-
ception, party, ball or wedding that could
have been denominated an event in the
social world. The close of the Thomas
festival was the apparent close Of every
thing else and full dress seemed to have
been worn there for the last time. In a
city of over one hundred thousand people
there are always the numerous evening en-
tertainments, afternoon teas and coffees,
dinner parties and sociables that go to
make up ''life in large CITY," But when
a society reporter, loaded up with all the
adjectives in the dictionary, is on the look
out for swell parties, the ordinary run of
events is disappointing. Among the wild
designations and the fashionable diversions
of the week, were the following:
SOCIAL SAUCE.
The Universalist Young Mems associa-
tion was entertained on Wednesday even
ing by S. W. Farnham at his handsome
home, 726 Second avenue south. The
grounds were Illuminated with Chinese Ian
terms and the residence was brilliant blaze
of light. In the course OF the evening
Mrs. Fuller recited Cleveland'S Election in
a manner that won great burst of ap-
plause.
Rev. j. B. Starkey of the Thirteenth
| avenue NJ. E. church entertained his par-
ishioners at lawn fete on Wednesday
evening at his residence, corner OF Eleventh
avenue south and Eighteenth street. About
fifty persons enjoyed his hospitality.
Prof. Lyman Brown gave reception on
Tuesday evening to the participants in the
Hamline musical recitals. The event was
at his home, 11O3 Hawthorne avenue, and
was made doubly enjoyable by some de-
lightful music.
Monday was the birthday of Benjamin
Scott and his friends helped him celebrate
it on that evening at his home, Ills Yale
Place. In the course Of the evening he was
presented with Masonic ring.
Prof. Morse closed his series of organ re-
citals at Westminster church on Wednesday
evening before small audience. This
series was certainly case of fine music and
poor audienc es.
The ladies of the Minneapolis chapter of
the Order of the Eastern Star on We'd
day gave delightful picnic at Lake park,
Brooke's band furnishing delightful music.
Mrs. j. Fl. Clough of TIA Ninth street
south gave delightful children's party on
Saturday evening, in honor of the birthday
of her daughters, Maud and Elsie.
Prof. G.. w. Hall entertained few
friends, most of them belonging to the class
of 'S3, at his residence, 9O4 University ave-
nue., on Tuesday evening.
An enjoyable picnic was given at Lake
Minnetonka on Tuesday by the Minneapo-
lis Dental society. Over two hundred peo-
pie were in attendance.
The Park Avenue Presbyterian church
society will shortly celebrate its tiftieth an
niversary. 1t was formerly known as the
Fort Smelling society.
The Minnetonka Yacht club will have a
meeting on Tuesday evening at the office of
A. S. Dimond, Excelsior, to prepare for
the seasons hilarity.
The alumni of the high school had a
pleasant reunion and banquet ON Wednes-
day night.
