The OalIfornia Climate AGAIN.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Mgr. pel is in san Francisco. Talking

Three Appearances of Mr.. JAY Gould
Mr.. Jay Gould has been thrust to the
front, or has been thrusting himself to the
front, in quite conspicuous way during
the last few days. He is represented as
having unloaded large block OF Western
Union telegraph stock on Mr.. Victor
Newcomb, a Wall street speculator and
millionaire, in manner that is rather
creditable to his shrewdness. 1t is said
that ne suggested to Mr.. Newcomb that
there was an opening in the Western
Union directory, and that the chances
were all in favor Of his election. Mr..
Newcomb bought stock heavily, but he
wasn't elected director. is limited thar
the stock he got came from the holdings
of Mr.. Jay Gould.
Mr.. Gould also figures as defendant
in rather interesting lawsuit in which
the plaintiff claims $4,000 for having
furnished information about the existence
OF a secret political organization which
had for its object the nomination of Mr..
Cornell for Governor of New York. The
plaintiff at the time was a government
clerk, and claims TO have lost his place
because he furnished MIR. Gould the
information in question. He bases his
claim on an alleged promise of Mr.. Gould
that better place would be provided for
him if he was discharged from the govern.
ment service.
The third instance in which Mr.. Gould
appeared conspicuously was at the meet
ing on Thursday, in New York, of the sub
scribers to the $3.50, 600 Grant fund. He
had little tilt with Mr.. George Jones.
proprietor Of the New York Times. Mr..
Jones and Mr. Gould do not love each
other. Mr.. Jones is one of the trustees OF
the Grant fund, and as the securities are
not worth as much as Mr.. Jones paid for
them, Mr.. Gould suggested that MIR.
Jones should accept them at par, and pay
over the cash for them. This suggestion
was both calling and unacceptable to Mr.
| Jones. II is not often that MIR. Gould
/ comes to the front so often in 80 short a
time. When he appears, however, he
generally tries TO laake it interesting for
I somebody.

/ DR.. FeltOn's speech against the rail
roads. during the debate on the railroad
bill in the Legislature, was very sensa-
| tiOhal effort, and gave the doctor consid-
erable notoriety. Unfortunately he was
80 anxious to attract attention that he
neglected to inform himself as TO the
truth OF his most startling assertions, and
one after another he has had denials
| thrust upon him without being able TO
advance anything in his own defense.
| One Of the assertions in his speech that
attracted attention was that Gen. h. T..
! Alexander was President Of some sort Of
disreputable Railway Shareholders
Association" Gen. Alexander asks the
doctor TO take IL back-drst, because he
never was President Of any such associs-
/ tion; and, second, because Il is not GER
tain that there ever was such an associa-
ton. Al this rate there will soon not be
much Of the Doctors famous speech left.
The owner OF the New York Times and
the owner and editor Of the New York
Tribune seem TO think that the public are
interested In their quarrels. They devote
considerable space Of their respective
papers, almost every day, 10 calling each
other names. The latest effort of the
Times man is to inquire II It isn't the
sentiment Of "the community that Mr..
Whitelaw REID is a sneak and a liarp
1t is probable that the community doesn't
care enough about either the owner Of
the Times or Mr.. Reid TO have an opinion
respecting their characters.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

The new melodrama by Robert Buchanan,
'Alone in London" was produced at the
Grand last evening to an audience of fair
proportions, but that seemed meagre after
the crowds of last week. The play bears
a striking resemblance in many respects to
the Silver King" principally in scenery
and in the casting of the malevolent char
acters. The heroine, bonnie country lass,
follows scoundrelly husband to London,
where she is led. through his crimes, to suf-
fering, and is brought to happiness just at
the close in good old orthodox style. The
principal characters are well moulded and
rather strongly cast. Miss Cora S. Tanner
taking the leading part of Nan and Herbert
Archer that OF Richard Radcliffe, the ras-
cally husband. The support is all very fair
and the scenery, for the most part, espec-
tally good. 'tAlOne in London" will run to
and including tomorrow night, with the
regular Wednesday matinee.
After long idleness Pence opera house
was reopened last night by the Sullivans,
Dan and Josie, with their Irish songs and
sketches and an Irish panorama. The man
agement had agreed to donate 10 per cent
of the net receipts to the Irish National
league, which organization contributed
largely to the number in attendance.
The dime museum has very interesting
program for this week, and yesterday
brought an unusual attendance, 'Boz,"
the educated dog. is one of the best cards;
the Maramba band of Guatemalean Indians
proved curiosity, and the Middleton
marionettes, in the theatorium, were the
leading features.
A large crowd enjoyed the anatomical
show given by Minnie Lewis Female mas
todons at the Comique last night.

M, H. Eddy, W. c. Homer and Ed B.

George Welte of North Lansing, Mich,
claiming to be the champion heavyweight
wrestlero of North Michigan. has challenged,
through the medium of the sporting COL
umns of the Police Gazette, Charles Moth
to meet him. best three in five falls. for $500
side. Welte states the conditions to be
two falls catch as-catch-can, two falls col
lar-and-elbow and one fall Gr8cO- Roman.
Moth states that the challenge is unfair.
Moth is Graco- Roman wrestler. If
Wete will allow two falls Graco- Roman
style and will put up sufficient forfeiture
in the hands of any man known to Moth to
be responsible, match can be arranged.
1t is suggested that it might be well for
Welte to come to Minneapolis or st. Paul.
Minneapolis has had surfeit of heavy
weight sports of late, but now light
weight event is promised. Last evening
Adon Butler and Tom Shields called at the
GLOBE office and deposited their forfeitures
for mixed wrestling match between Butler
and Shields unknown, the same to occur in
two weeks in this city. The conditions are
two falls out of three. one Gr@cO-Roman.
two collar-and-e and one Cumberland
style. The Cumberland style is something
new in Minneapolis. 1t is sort of a back
hold and any part of the body, arms or legs.
touching the carpet constitutes fall. The
match is to be for 500 side and the gate
receipts.

A SOCIETY GONE WRONG.
An Organization That Evidently is
OFF it's Base.

The statement is made, upon authority
very questionable, that IAN organization is
being perfected among some of the leading
ladies of Minneapolis which shall have for
its object the dealing out of retrbutve JUS
tice TO the sirens of society who inveigle
husbands from the paths of rectitude. The
dozen or more scandals of this character
which have developed of late in well-or-
dered families, several of which have been
partially given to the press, have actuated
tbs movement If this be true-not the
scandal but the story of the Organization
1t must impress the average thinker as be-
ing ludicrous in the extreme. 1t would be
much better if these ladies would devise
ways and means Of making themselves and
their homes so attractive that husbands and
fathers would know no temptation to wan
der innocently along to be snapped up by
these terrible sirens. The picture of an
unsophisticated husband ruthlessly gath
cred in by the remorseless siren is distress
ing indeed. When one can see the bold and
relentless siren deliberately enter the sacred
tireSide circle and pull the poor fellow from
the protecting arms of his wife and drag
him down to ruin the picture OF distress is
complete!
However, the initial statement is incOr-
rect. The organization that is being per-
fected is one of innocent but weak girls
who are inveigled by the husbands of other
women from the paths of recJitude. The
movement is actuated by the knowledge
| that this wrong headed old world shields or
acquits the husbands and places all the
blame or shame on them, because they are
women and have only their womanliness
and virtue instead of social position to lose.
On with the movement!

MINNEAPOLIS SPORTS.

The truth Of the announcement of the
death of Clarence Whistler, the worlds
champion Greco-Roman wrestler, is
doubted by the sporting people of Mime
apolis.
The East Minneapolis Athletic club gave
very enjoyable tournament at the North
Star rink last evening. Several novel
features were introduced, namely: Sparring
on roller skates and Indian club juggling on
skates.
Charles Moth called at the GLOBE office
last evening and accepted Thomas Shields
proposition to wrestle, five falls, Graco-
Roman style, and deposited S25 forfeiture
The conditions of the match are that Moth
shall win FIVE falls in one hour and half,
but shall be granted five minutes rest be-
tween each fall. The match will probably
occur within week.
The Lurline club met at the West last
night The committee that had in hand

MINISTER'S LOOK BLUE.
DIR. BrOokes Inveighs AgainstHy-
pocrisy in the Pulpit and Pew.


pOcrisy in the Pulpit and Pew.
There is great diversion of sentiment
among the Minneapolis ministers. The
Ministerial association has divided into two
factions and between them yawns a great
gulf of difference. The difference is not
alarming. 1t is simply how to view the re-
ligious spirit of the age. One party, with
DR.. Sample as an exponent, is inclined to
take very gloomy, doleful and depressing
view, while the other. represented in Rev.
John L. Pitner, is disposed to look cheer
fully upon the great good Christianity is ac-
cOmplishing, and to think that it is a good
world after all. Rev. j. ii. Brookes, a
Presbyterian divine of st. Louis. who spoke
yesterday morning, was one of the peSsi-
mistic brethren, and his remarks were
heavily tinged with an unutterable sadness
as he contemplated the existing state of af-
fairs. He is an eloquent talker, and when
he said he would talk plainly he
meant every word of it. His
was broadside leveled at hypocrisy in the
pulpit and hypocrisy in the pew, with shall
lowness everywhere. Pretense was char
acteriStic of the modern religiOniSt, and
only arrogance could be seen in the man
who presumed to select certain portions of
Scripture as worthy of credence, above GER
tain other points. Conscience must be
aroused and walk boldly through the
church. The Bible must be exalted
There is too much namby pambyism in the
pulpit Efforts at popularity are filling the
churches with impOsters. Better small er
congregations and more converts. Preach
to one man and convert him.
The regular order of business, including
paper on the Edict of Nantes, by DR..
Stryker, were laid over until next week.

THE PETITIONER WINS.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis Al
lowed to Cross the Manitoba,

iOWe0 To Cross the ManltODa,
Judges Lochren, KOon and Young of the
district court have decided to grant the pc
tition of the Minneapolis & st. Louis Rail-
way company to cross the tracks OF the st.
Paul, Minneapolis IL Manitoba road at
First street north, and have set Saturday,
Dec. 10. as the time at which the form of
the order appointing commissioners will be
fixed, in case the counsel fail to agree.
The application of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis Railway company to acquire the
crossing by condemnation was made last
May by petition in which it was set forth
that connection with the st. Paul d
Northern Pacific road would be supplied.
thus atfording the latter road continuous
line of its own straight to st. Paul, and also
enabling both roads to effect an interchange
of business without paying the Manitoba
tribute of 50 per car. An answer was hled
in resistance by the Manitoba company, and
j. NJ. Miller was appointed referee, before
whom the testimony was taken. which was
principally upon the issue as to the extent
of the damages likely to be inflicted upon
the Mantoba's interests by the crossing.
The decision, which allows the crossing
with the proviso that it shall not Interfere
with the connection of the Northern Pacific
and Manitoba, settles the two leading points
upon which the case hinged in favor OF the
Minneapolis 81 st. Louis. namely, that 1t is
a corporation, and secondly that the public
interests require the crossing.

A BONDED WAREHOUSE
Is What minneapolis Importers
Must Have without Delay.


The board of trade devoted itself yester-
day morning to the subject of the collection
of customs duties. Maj. Irvine stated there
was complaint among the many importing
merchants who had imported 1000, 900
pounds of goods, or forty carloads, last
year, and who were compelled to go to st.
Paul, pay the tariff there and pay the
charges for stoppage, which is SIS per car
load and cents hundred on small lots.
1t is humiliating to city of this size to pay
tribute to the existing state of affairs and
the remedy is bonded warehouse. which
could easily be established here. Mr.. Dale
explained the Importance of such a move to
MINNEAPOLIS, and Mr.. Steele gave an in
stance of the delays occasioned by the neceS-
sity of going to St. Paul to take goods out
of bond. The matter was referred to the
committee on jobbing trade.
In response to a further communication
from the New York board of trade, Con-
gresham Gillian was designated as MEM
Der of the congressional board to urge and
secure the passage of national and uniform
bankrupt law. A communication was also
received from the Boston board of trade,
carrying the notification that any subject,
requiring national legislation that this board
desired considered at the national conven-
ton in January should be handed in at
once. TheSmatter was referred to the COM
mittee on legislation. Mr.. DeLaittre said
Tilden's communication on coast protection
and defense was about the best thing he
knew of and the board should recommend
that as its subject. Secretary Hale pro-
duced report by Capt. 0. e. Merriman on
the same subject, which was referred In the
same connection to the committee.

UNIFORM PRICES.
Retail Grocers Pouring Oil Upon
Troubled Waters.


Troubled Waters.
At the meeting of the Retail GrOcers' as
ISOLATION the much-discussed question of
retaliating upon the jobbers and whole
salers, who insist upon retailing goods,
came up again. The grocers were urged to
patronize only the wholesalers who con-
form to their own lines of trade, even it the
other houses cut prices. With this view it
was resolved to print the names Of the diff
ferent square wholesalers in the North
western Trade, the official organ OF the
trade, and the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That the members of the Mime
apolis Retail Grocers' association confine
their patronage to those wholesale fruit and
commission houses that agree to do strictly
wholesale business. The right to sell to the
leading hotels and restaurants is conceded
The grocers reserve the right to buy outside
the city.
The matter of fixing uniform price for
oil was next discussed. Representatives OF
the Globe, Star and Northwestern Oil COM
panies were present and it was decided that
the price for white water oil shall be IL
cents per gallon and Is cents in five-gallon
lots. Messrs. Haynes, Barber, Doyle and
Robb were appointed as a committee to ar
range the details for thorough under
standing by all parties concerned, the agree
ment being that the oil companies shall not
sell to any grocers cutting the price. The
price of electroleum oil was put at 20 cents
per gallon. Adjourned to meet next Mon
day.

time discussing portion of the preliminary
plans drawn by Architect w. II. Dennis.
1t will be some time yet before the board
will be in a position to throw open the
general plans for competition, if that course
be decided upon. The building committee
has decided to cover the entire ground with
the building. which is to be composed of
stone and six stories in height, and these
points are about all that have been agreed
upon. One hundred thousand dollars of
stock has been taken, and nearly all of
the first installment of 10 per cent. has
been paid in. Only $4,000 yet remains
unpaid upon the building lot, and the board
regards the affairs of the association as in a
most hourishing condition.
