A Story OF SomnambuIism.
London Truth


An eminent lawyer was on a visit at Min
to, in the lifetime or the second earl Of
that name and day or two before the
hearing of an important case in which he
had been retained as counsel. He had
brought with him bundle of papers con-
nected with the suit in question, and
these he took up with him to his bed
room. On the following day the buxdIe
could nowhere be found. Careful search
was of course made, but quite in vain;
and eventually the advocate had to go in
to court without it. Years passed with
out any tidings of the missing bundle,
till the same gentleman CHANGED to be
once more the guest at Mimic and oc-
cupying the same bedroom. The morn
ing after his arrival he awoke to see the
long lost papers laying on his dressing
table. "The presumption was" accord
ing to Miss Cobbe, ''that on the
first occasion he hid them in his sleep,
and on the second visit he found them in
his sleep, but where he hid and found
them has never been discovered.

Doing Well Financially.
Dense crowds visited Market hall, the
scene of the Holy Rosary church fair, last
evening, and until a late hour kept up the
festivities. Nothing is allowed to drag,
and if one may be allowed to judge from
appearances, this fair will net the church
several thousand dollars. The ballotting
for the various articles goes ON with I'M
ceaSing vigOr, and much interest is mani
tested in that direction. Last night the
various votes stood: For the most popular
detective, NJ. Quinlan, 100; NJ Hoy. 5;
William Gleason, 8. Most popular tenn
perance society, Catholic Temperance So
ciety. 81; A. o. Fl. society, Is; Holy Name

The friends of each person mentioned are
laying in ambush and before the fair closes
will, they say, roll up tremendous major
tiles for their candidate.

THEY PROTEST.

property owners ASK Vnat street
Opening be Abandoned.
The city hall elevator was kept busy for
half hour yesterday afternoon carrying up
to the committee rooms the citizens owning
property along Twentieth avenue north and
also on Plymouth avenue. The occasion
was a meeting of the council committee on
roads and bridges to consider the proposed
opening, widening and extending of the two
streets named. The commissioners had al
ready appraised the damages and benefits
growing out of the improvements and the
property owners entered vigorous protests
against the same. Some claimed that the
assessments were double what they should
be, and furthermore that in case of the pro-
posed widening of Twentieth avenue north
twenty feet the council had added ten feet
to the petition. For this reason the citizens
prayed that all proceedings be set aside.
The long listened to statements and their
took the matter under advisement. The
proposition is to extend the avenue through
Forest Heights, from Lyndale avenue to
the city limits. The proposition to change
Plymouth avenue in order to straighten it,
was the subject of another protest. The
street makes a jog of 100 feet at Humboldt
avenue, and it is proposed to straighten it
so that it will be 100 feet to one side of the
present course. 1t was claimed that the
change can be of no essential benefit to the
people living and owning property along
the street, and also that it is only advocated
by those who are largely interested in prop
erty i'll the business center of Plymouth ave-
nue.. This was also taken upper advise
