HARVEST FESTIVAL.
The Fruits OF the Field Brought
Into the Church.

AT st. James chapel. corner of Missis-
Sippi and Case streets, the harvest festival
was celebrated yesterday afternoon. There
are about twenty COMMITMENTS attend
church there with Sunday school OF
eighty children, and as services were sus-
pended at st. Peters chapel, Dayton's
bluff, for members to join the festival, the
small chapel was thoroughly filled. The
harvest decorations were very beautiful.
On the altar were bouquets, while the cloth
was handsomely trimmed with ferns.
Above the altar was the word WELCOME"
in evergreen on white ground and above
this the windows were ornamented with
ferns in the chancel, around the desk and
at one side were very elaborate decorations
of wheat and prairie grass. while the rail-
ing was covered with cut flowers and green
wreaths. Along the front of the chancel
were Towering plants in profusion and on
the sides of the arch ears of corn were
tastefully placed, while overhead were
loops of green. The whole presented a
very appropriate and beautiful appearance.
The services were conducted by Edward
johnson, student of theology at
Faribault. The regular choir was aug
mented by the choir of the Dayton's blum
chapel, and the chief feature of the musical
programme was a solo, 1.-The Lord is My
Shepherd" by Miss Mayen. The exercises
consisted of the regular Episcopal service,
somewhat elaborated. Mr.. Johnson's ad-
dress was an exposition of the lessons OF the
harvest the soil being compared to the
human soul, which must be plowed and
narrowed as tine mind must be trained 10
bring forth good harvest.

A SENSATIONAL CASE.
Mary Jane Hill and John VIII kin
Arrexted On Sc rious Charge.

At 10 O'Clock last evening John Wilkin,
an engineer living at 7S Tilton street, and
Mrs. Mary Jane Hill, residing on East
Fourth street, near Franklin, were arrested
by Officer Zirklebach, charged with adultery.
The couple were found occupying the same
bed in room in Mrs. Hill's house by
Thomas A. Holdship who, having occasion
to call on Mr.. Hill, blunderlngly opened
the wrong door. Mrs. Hill asked that Hold
ship say nothing about the discovery, but
the noise awakened Mr.. Hill, who was
sleeping in an adjoining room, and he put
in an appearance and proceeded to give
Wilkin good beating. Wilkin is the fellow
who was connected with the Matchmaking
scheme regarding Mrs. Winton, of OswegO,
Kan, full account of which Yves pub
lished in the GLOBE last week. Mrs. Hill
is the wife of Thomas Hill, employed as
teamster for the Kelly Mercantile company,
and was also concerned in the Winton
Matchmaking scheme, in which she called
for the letter at the Minneapolis postoffice,
addressed to Jane Foster, at Wilkins re-
quest. Mrs. Hill is the mother of
seven chileren, the eldest a daugh-
ter 30 years old. being married
and residing in Minneapolis. Wilkin gives
his age as 81, and claims to be married.
After being locked up last night the couple
talked to each other from the cells, and
Mrs. Hill told Wilkin that if she
had been discovered with any
one else she would have killed herself.
but as it was with him. she did not feel so
bad. She reproached herself for being so
handsome as to cause him to get in trouble
about her. and although visited by her two
grown sons, did not seem particularly an
noyed over the affair, except that it annoyed

Tn a MYSTERIOUS Way.

When the Republican state convention
was in progress last Wednesday, one of the
spectators was Judge Thomas Simpson, OF
Winona, one of the most pOrtly and vener-
able looking men in the hall. For time
during the evening he sat at one of the
press tables on the platform. When the
ballOting was going on. a friend approached
Mr.. Simpson and said "McGill will be nomi-
mated"
GLOW do you know?" asked Mr. Simp son.
"Why, because Loren Fletcher wants him
nominated" was the reply.
How is Loren to do it?" was asked.
"Look here" said the man who was
giving out the political pointers, don't
you know that Loren Fletcher is like God?''
''Like God?" said Mr.. Simpson. mo, |
didn't know it."
''Well, on such occasions as this he is,
was the reply. ''He moves in mysterious
way his wonders to perform"

How st. Paul Artist Secured a

How p st. Paul Artist Secured a
sight of the gouIanser-Larein
Duel for the Press.
BY permission, the following interesting
letter FROM Gilbert Munger, the artist, to
his brother, Russell c. Munger, of this
city, who was an eye witness of the blood
less duel between Gen. Boulanger, minister
of war. and Baron de Lareinty, is pub
lished As the letter states. a painting
portraying full particulars of the affair will
soon be on exhibition:
American Exchange, Paris, Sept. 81
have Just returned to Paris, after a six
weeks tour in the country. and have just
received the st. Paul GLOBE which con-
tanned the kind notice of myself, and by
curious coincidence, the same copy Of the
paper gives brief account OF the BOulan-
ger-Lareinty duel. On the afternoon be-
fore the affair was secretly informed that
the duel was to take place in the forest of
Mendon. a few miles from Paris; that the
parties were to take the train from Men
don, and then drive from there to the
forest. l determined to be at the station,
and follow them and see the affair if posi-
BILE l sat up all night for fear of not
waking in time in the morning, and at
o'clock took carriage and drove out to the
station at MendOn. But one man descended
from the train-the editor of a Paris jour
hal: he had come for the same purpose. l
invited him TO join me in the chase, and
after taking a cup of coffee
we secured the forest for two hours
in search OF them. Suddenly we
came upon carriage in the road which
contained the priest and the surgeon. We
hid our carriage away in the woods and
watched the priest and the surgeon. In
few moments two carriages arrived which
contained the
PRINCIPALS AND SECONDS.
They drove into the Park du ChaliS.
where they make the government balloons
and the gates closed behind them. We
scaled the wall which was about ten feet
high and entered the park. We were soon
stopped by the soldiers. My friend FORUM
ately had Gen. Boulauger's card in his pocket.
which we presented and we were allowed
TO pass. Concealing ourselves behind a
small clump of trees about two hundred
yards away, we saw the whole affair unob-
served, the account of which you have al
ready read. l made a small sketch to in
dictate the position OF the men. We then
drove to the nearest station aud sent dis
patch giving a full account of the affair to
the Paris press; then drove to the Bots de
Benlougne and had a delightful breakfast
after an. exciting chase. Before we he'd
finished our breakfast all Paris
was reading extras containing our account
OF the affair. We then drove to the Office
