LITCHHAN,s TRIBUTE.
The WeII-KnOVyn Editor and Lect-
urer or NIinneannIiN


Charles Ii. Litchman, ex-general secre-
tary of the Knights of Labor, recently
passed through Minneapolis on his way
from Massachusetts to Montana, and during
his stay in the city he delivered a lecture to
the wOrkingmen of the city. Mr. Litch-
field has won many friends in Minneapolis.
TO whom the following extract from his ac-
count of his trip, which appeared i'm the
Wampum Belt, a paper which he
publishes in the interest of the Order of
Red Men, at Marblehead, Mass. will be
pleasant reading. On the 5th of
Hot Moon we took up the trail for the far
West. Leaving Boston at the Sd run. SET
ting of the sun, and arriving at Detroit the
next sun at noon. Tarrying for a few runs
in this beautiful city of handsome buildings
and elegant avenues, we journeyed on by
that thriving, throbbing center of trade. the
city OF Chicago, TO our first stopping place,
the incompatible city of Minneapolis.
1t would be difficult to praise too highly
the beauty of Minneapolis. Broad, straight
avenues, miles in length, lined with elegant
palaces OF trade unsurpassed in any city in
Misunderstanding the greatest utilized
water power in the whole world.
Engaged in manufactures which are neces-
sites and therefore furnishing employment
when other industries languish-the con-
verging point for several of the great rail-
road sytems of the country-the entrepot
for that yet undeveloped and scarcely
opened empire formerly known as The
Northwestern TerTitory'-animated with
spirit of vigor, and push and energy
which impress at once the most casual OBJ
server. All these tend TO make the future
almost certainly one of
BoUNDLEss WEALTH AND POSSIBILITIES.
And when it is reflected that the city was
scarcely known twenty great suns ago, that
nearly all its wealth and industry has been
gathered in that short period of time, the

girl equally lovely, thinking it a pity that
the romantic arrangement should not be
taken advantage of, entered herself the
box in place of her sister. 1 suppose
Finlay must have been considerably sur
prised when the box was opened in the
cabin of the yacht and not his sweetheart
but her sister was revealed, dressed in mid
shipman uniform. The brother of the
young lady had discovered the affair and
was quickly on board the yacht to demand
explanation. Finlay saw only one course
before him. The girl had been compro-
missed; he would marry her. The brother
giving his consent, the marriage took place

KILLED while Closing a window.

Brooklyn Union.
At Baker Hollow detached small cloud
was chock full of lightning. The play of it
was terrific, and Immediately following ev-
cry flash there would radiate from every
side of it zigzag rays of electric light, lasting
for several seconds, giving the cloud the
appearance of an immense fire-wheel. The
small cloud met an immense bank of black
that arose on the horizon, and when they
joined terrific report followed, accom-
panied by binding flashes of lightning.
During the storm Ezra Foster went to his
window to close it. He was instantly killed
by a stroke of lightning, the fluid entering
one ear and coming out at the other.

An Unfounded Runor.

1t was reported industriously about the
streets last week that the workmen en-
plOyed at the state fair grounds had gone
upon a strike. Numerous Inquiries in
various quarters failed to substantiate the
rumors. The secretary of the State Agri-
cultural society, Mr. JudSon. stated that
the men were entirely satisfied with the
wages they were receiving. During the
preceding week several of the carpenters at
work on the new sheds in course eff cree
ton at the fair grounds had gone off for a
half day, and it is altogether probable that
the reports of the strike originated from
this circumstance.

Could Not Remember His wedding.

NNhOhCObduy OHlOIl.
A rather sensational story has been told
10 me. For some time past young man
has been in the habit of calling on a Young
woman more frequently than the ordinary
needs OF society demand A few DAYS ago
the young woman went to Troy to visit her
sister, who lives there. The young man
followed her, but unluckily he drank some
what heavily before calling at the house.
After few moments conversation the
young woman proposed marriage, and her
married sister urged the plan. The young
fellow, Oyertaken with love and wine. ac-
guessed, And the pair were made one by
civil magistrate of Troy. After the cou-
pie had returned home and the bridegroom
was little sobered his sister-in-law asked
him if he didn't want to see his wife.
My wife J" he exclaimed II am not
married"
Ii Is said that the young man will take
steps to have the marriage put aside.

On the morning of June 10Th the mail
carrier OF this place hung on the apparatus
used for catching the maiI-bags his mail at
the usual time, and the express coming
along it was seized by the arm extended and
taken into the car, as he supposed, but
which was not the case, as was shown after

moving plot of grass about $50 feet be-
yond the place when he came upon mail
bag looking very much dilapidated. He
took it to the postoffice, and the postmaster,
calling in disinterested person, requested
him to open it. The mail was found in
tact. There were in it very many important
letters, containing checks and money.

MINNEAPOLIS COOPERs.
Echoes OF n Dull WeeiS--The shops
Practically Closed.

The work in the canal, which has neces-
STATED the shutting down OF the Touring
mills, has also practically closed the cooper
shops. A portion of the shops are running
about half time, and the balance have shut
down. AS it seems probable that the re-
pairs to the canal will not be completed for
six weeks, the shops that are running will
have their storage room occupied before a
revival takes place. The sales are very
slow, and in the aggregate fall consider
ably below the manufacture. The outlook
is far from being encouraging.

manufacture OF barrels for the past four

The marriage of George Finlay, the his
torian of Ancient Greece, and for many
years correspondent of the London Times,
at Athens, was attended by considerable
romance. Finlay had been attached to a
beautiful Armenian girl at Constantinople,
and as her family would never have con-
sented to her marriage with the young
Seotehman, determined 10 elope with her.
A yacht of an English friend was TO take
the couple to Greece, and it was arranged
that the young lady was to be cotton board
in box prepared for the purpose. When
the eventful moment came the girl be-
came frightened and refused to allow her

WHY DO Doct0rs Prescribe LiquOrsl
Because they know not what else to do; or
because sometimes little liquor serves to
kindle the exhausted fires of digestion. But
this liquor prescription is bad business for
the patients, for it makes drunkards out of
a large majority of them. Browns Iron

"a Messenger from Jarvis met
with an enthusiastic reception last
night at the Park Theatre. The
honest, sturdy nature Of the big-heart-
ed old farmer, Uncle Dan1, was portray
ed to the life. His quick resolutions
and prompt actions in positions of
danger contrasted finely with his
unctios humor in the quieter scenes,
and his pathos had the true ring.
Mr. MeAuley's fine physique is great
ly in his favor in the part, and his
mobile features and expressive eyes
aid immensely in the delineation OF
emotion. III. McAuley was honored

About midnight Sunday night

in flames. Fred Fuhr, who sleeps
over the saloon, smelled the smoke
and gave the alarm before the fire got
much Roadway. The night policemen
broke the doors in and extinguished
the fire before a general alarm was
given. The fire originated in q draw
er of the desk in the front part of
the room and an examination shows
clearly that mice or rats while gnaw-
ing in the drawer started the blaze.
The entire block would have burned

caused profound sorrow in the commu-
nifty where she resided, and where her
many Christian and womanly virtues were
best known. She was a Christian in the
truest sense of the word, and her whole
life was in accord with the faith she
protested. She is at rest, and her be-
reayed husband, relatives and friends have
the consolation of knowing that her spirit
has gone to join the throng in the Great
Beyond, where Joy is everlasting and life
eternal.

conscious up to the minute her spirit took
its flight, and gave directions, even to the

at Laddonia and that Elder Barker con-
duct the last sad rites at the grave. Every
wish was carried out. Her remains were
inferred In the old church-yard at New
