Pulpit Orators.

1t has become very general custom that
whenever large number Of clergymen are
assembled in council and Sunday comes,
nominations, within easy reach are by
courtesy placed at the disposal of the Wis
itOrS, and the pulpits in and around st.
Paul and Minneapolis were yesterday
largely occupied by Presbyterian divines.
UNCONVENTIONAL lines were thrown aside
and 'iSmS were not spoken of and such
events have done much in recent years to
bring the different denominations into
harmony on general principles of church
work. The ministers of st. Paul were
given the rare opportunity of hearing sCme-
body else preach, a privilege of which the
average clergyman thinks a great deal;
more. perhaps, than he would if he enjoyed
it more frequently. The Presbyterian
church pulpits were occupied by the fol-
lowing divines, two being named where
different clergymen officlated at morning
and evening services: House of Hope, DR..
John Gillespie, DR.. j. S. Mcintosh; Cen

Of the Ways i'm which the Citizens
Enjoyed Themselves Yesterday.
1t was warm yesterday and the streets of
the city had an appearance of desertion.
Every shadowy nook held an attraction for
smeltering humanity, and the morning
trains out of the city went loaded with citi-
Zens who turned their backs on the blister
ing confines of the city and sought comfort
on the margin of breezy lakes. At White
Bear it seemed that the summer season had
been fully inaugurated.
Crowds of eXcursioniSts let themselves
down from the trains at the snug little sta
ton and wandered away among the en-
chanting shadows that lay along the pebbly
margin of Minnetonka. Many of them
rowed out into the quiet waters, simmer
ing in the burning sunshine and least their
lines in pleasant places" with not over
anxious hopes of adding honor to their
pleasure by making the biggest catch of the
season. There were business men and men
whose only drift was to tighten as much as
possible the burden of life; there were labor
ing men with hardened palms and honest
faces, who were only too glad to rid them
selves. if but for day, from the monoto-
nous SAVIOR of shop and mill. And the

Few Opportunities for tlse lovers

Few Opportunities Cor the lovers to

AS French families are unprotected by
the state in respect to keeping men at a
distance, they themselves have taken the
matter in hand in allowing no privacy be-
fore marriage. Under no circumstances is
an engaged person allowed to remain alone;
the mother or elder sister is ever present at
the interviews. But, notwithstanding
the presence of the third person,
the young engaged couple talk
freely of their future prospects aud
frequently indulge i'll lovers quarreis. The
fiance is daily invited to dine with his flu
ture wife's family. Sitting side by side,
many a word of fondness and love is whisp
cred in the young lady's ear out OF til Q
hearing of the lenent papa and mama.
Going in and out of the dining-r room, they
slyly manage to be the last COUPLE and l
have been told that it is wonderful how
much can be whispered in the short walk
ing space lying between the parlor and the
dining-room. Parents similarly ignore
these innocent privacieS; they remember

at the house of mutual friends. The young

A WOMAN,s SUFFERING.
She Gives Birth to n Child i'm the
City Engineers Department..


Yesterday afternoon, a little past 4
o'clock, the attention of Officer Phil Glib
bons was attracted by the cries of child
apparently issuing from the city engineers
Office. He entered that part of the CITY
hall building, and stretched on the floor of
room occupied by the surveying force.
found woman suffering from labor pain.
ClaSped to her breast was newly-born
babe, which she had wrapped in piece of
dirty carpetipg. The woman lay in a half
conscious condition. grooming pitifulv.
her head pillowed Oh the hard
floor, where she had fallen
exhausted. On bench near by was her
hat and shawl and parcel containing Dor
tons of her wardrobe. DR.. McLaren was
called, and at once gave the sufferer all the
relief possible under the circumstances.
Soon after the physician arrived the unfor-
tunate woman revived sufficiently to give
her name. She proved TO be German. and
said her name was Mary Leisgraver. 1t
seems that she had been employed daring

st. Peter street, as q domestic. Yesterday
morning about Z O'clock she was seen to
leave her ROOM climbing cut of the win

her condition, feared that she
might commit suicide and notified
the police of their suspicious. A search
for her was instituted, which resulted in
the finding as related above. The wonan's
room gave terrible evidences of the suffer-
ing she must have passed through, and
probably driven mad with pain, she climbed
through the window and wondered aim

where she fell exhausted and gave birth to

They Like 1t in Their Tea.

A perfectly dreadful story has come to
the ears of the historian of the Boston Rec
ord, which proves that some other things
than skinned milk sometimes masquerade
as cream. An elderly lady of the old school,
who lives in a suburban town, who always
does her shopping in the morning and gets
home to dinner at o'clock, was lately de-
taiued in town during one day of her shop
ping tours, and decided to make day of it.
She stepped into well-known "ladies'
cafe" and called for cup of tea. Presently
the waitress brought it. AS she was walk
ing away the old lady called after her:
II smell some horrible odor; what is it?"
1T can't be about here, ma'am; don't
smell anything unusual"
.'Well. but L do smell something" per-
sisted the old lady. looking at the tea
things, land it comes from this cream
pitcher" She picked up the cream pitcher
and smelled of it. and then. with look of
disgust on her face. Indignantly exclaimed,
''Why. this is whisky!'
~ es'm," sad the waitress, ''the ladies
generally likes little i'll their tea!'

"A Portion OF the west Slue Bull
Fence Blown Down.
The northwest wind that swept down on
the city yesterday afternoon sent many peo-
pie into their cellars and paled more than
one cheek. 1t look ed for time as though
a tornado would sweep through the center
of the city. Little whirlwinds picked up
scraps of paper and bits of wood and
whirled them through the air vlciously.
Clouds of dust swept through the streets,
startling horses and making it exceedingly
uncomfortable for pedestrians. The black
pail of clouds that hung over the city were
streaked with vivid lightning at rapid in
teryals, and taken altogether it locke d
Ominous. Many ladies, who happened to
be on the streets, ran excitedly into door
ways and Railways and sought what shell
ter they could obtain. A gentleman cross
ing the Wabasha street bridge was noticed
carrying his child in his arms and clinging
to his coat was his wife weeping bitterly.
The amateur hurricane swept over West st.

TRANSPORTATION TOPICS.
Chicago and London.

CHICAGO, May 22.-James Black Of Lon
don, Eng, who has been in the city since
Thursday. returned to New York to-day,
expecting to be back in Chicago within ten
days. His mission here. he says, was to
agitate plan for the construction of new
short-line of railroad from Chicago to New
York, with branches from Cincinnati to
New York, and from Chicago and Cincin-
natl to Baltimore. The name for the pro-
posed system is to be the Midland railway.
A charter has already been secured. The
capital stock is to be 500, 900, 900. A line
OF new steamers to be built for the railway
company will, it is proposed, run between
Baltimore and Liverpool. AT Liverpool
the steamers will connect with the London
d Northwestern, in the service of which
Mr.. Black now is. The scheme, as out
lined by Mr.. Black, is thus far system ex-
tending from Chicago to London, prac-
tically under one management. Capitalists
in England, Mr.. Black says, started the
project and others in the East and in this
city have pledged financial assistance.
