INDIGNANT TRAVELLERS
Demand the RetractiOn of a wanton
Newspaper Insult.


The commercial travellers of Minneapolis
and st. Paul held an indignation meeting
at the Nicolet house yesterday, to de-
aounce the Pioneer Press for the publica-
lion of an ancalled-tor slur in the shape of
a dispatch from Chicago during the session
Of the Northwestern Travelingmen's asso-
citation. The quotation is:
"We've got the worst gang ON hand that
was ever inflicted on civilized community"
said one of the members. "Just to give you
an idea of what kind of a crowd travelling
men are, I'll say that three carloads of pas
Bengers came down from st. Paul and Mime
Apolis, over one hundred in all, and vet out
of those three carloads there were only forty
at the caucus this morning. Balance out
with their wives and friends? Not much
The members were all present at the meet
ing, but they bamboozled the railroad com
pany into furnishing free Transportation. and
then wanted their friends to have a free ride
TO Chicago. SRbe? That's the way we have
20 do in our business"
Several indignant addresses were made
and finally communication was prepared,
expressive of their sentiments. In order
that the public may understand the case, the
same communication was handed the
the public. 1t is as follows:
TO the Editor of the Pioneer Press.
Dear Sir-In your paper of the 10Th Dec,
1885, You publish from your special cor
respondent in Chicago what purports to have
been report of the actions of the travelling
men in Chicago, preparatory to their annual
meeting, and prefacing at some length in q
paragraph commencing. 1--WE have got the
worst gang on hand that was ever inflicted
on Il civilized community" etc. You charge
the Minnesota delegation with having swim
died the railroad companies and complete il
with a TRADE of abuse, misrepresentation and
falsehood, sufficient to lay the foundation for
as many suits for libel as there were individ-
uals in the delegation.
These men whom you have therein charged
with swindling the railroad companies, are,
or have been employed by the jobbing houses
OF st. Paul and Minneapolis ia positions of

THE MORTUARY.
Happy Results of the Sanitary Reg
ulations of the City.

DR.. Quinby, city health officer, yesterday
completed his report for December and il
shows that the phenomenal healthfulness of
the city has in no wise deteriorated. The
report shows that the deaths in Minneap-
oils during the month numbered 90. dis
tributed as follows: Males, As; females,
IS; married, SO; single, 81; widows, .;
widOwer, 1; unknown, 3; natives of Mime

dian, g.; other countries, 8. Diphtheria
claimed victims; scarlet fever, 2: typhoid
fever, 4; consumption, IL; cancer and sar-
coma, 8; pneumonia, 10; heart disease, 8.
There was death by suicide, by freezing,
2 by suffocation and by poisoning. There
were 235 children born in the city during
the month, of which 124 were males and
Ill females. The death rate was the low
est for any December since 1880. In De
cember, 1884, there were 11S deaths; 1888,
ia; 1882, 102: 1881. 1875. During Novem-
Der there were e5 deaths
This is record to which DR.. Quinby points
with no little pride and gratihcation. A
GLOBE reporter asked him how he &C
counted for the improving mortuary Of the
city, and he said:
The sanitary regulations have proven a
pronounced success. The system Of health
inspection has much to do with the happy
result. Although according to the ordi-
nance the term of the inspectors has ended,
and no sytematic inspection is now being
prosecuted. devote a deal of time looking
over the city, and nnisances are being con-

Suffrage Association.

Hygiene Dress for Women and Children
was discussed at yesterdays meeting of the
Woman Suffrage association of Minneap-

garments hung on exhibition. Most of the
prominent members are doctors and they
hammered away with much. zeal against
the hideous and hurtful garments imposed
by fashion. NJ. A. Dorsett. DIR. Ripley ard
Others delivered addresses hitting from the

was desired and was there for inspection.

THE HORTucULTURIsTs
Of tHennepin County Elects Officers
and Talks About HOt-Beds.

anu aihS ADOut ltOt-6eOSs
The Hennepin County Horticultural So
| ciety met at PAS Hennepin avenue yester-
day. n. III. Reeves read an instructive pa
per upon the formation and management of
hot-beds. The essayist said that the hot
bed is generally looked upon as something
quite mysterious, yet there is no reason
why each tiller of the soil should not revel
early in the season in radishes lettuce and
| many other vegetables. The hot-bed should
have southern exposure or as much as
possible. and the north, east and
| west sides should be protected by tight
| board fence. The ground should have suf-
ficient drainage to carry off all surface
water. The slope should not be pronounced
as it would naturally cause the manure to be
too deep at the lower parts. A good sandy
loan should be selected. To every three or
| four wheelbarrow loads of soil add one of
manure The sash should be protected
| board shutters. The ground should be
| heated by the use of manure.
If the manure is frozen when delivered it
| should be started byan application of hot
water, but do not put on the dirt until the
| dirt has begun TO cool off-until thermom-
eter would indicate 90 or 95 degrees. 1t is
| then ready for the dirt. PulveriZe every
lump of soil by working over. Then place
in the sun. The beds should never be
! allowed to become entirely dry. The
| harder the plants the more air required.
In case a severe frost affects the plants. if
not too badly bitten, they may be saved
| by leaving the outside shutters on until the
outside air is above freezing point. The
shutters being removed the plants should
be sprinkled with cold water.
| The paper provoked lengthy discussion,
generally participated in by all the mem
| bers present.
The matter of the size of the sash the
most convenient for handling seemed to in
dicate wide range of opinions.
Inc mushroom fungus was sta ted to be a
| source Of great
DAMAGE TO PLANTS
in the hot-bed. The fungus is the result of
rich soil and heat. One man thought it a

as it puts IN an appearance, another ar

it would grow, while still another stated

A Modest Soldier.

\ singular instance of sollierly modesty was
brought TO light recently in Washington. AL
most everybody who has been familiar with
the Capitol at any time during the last six years
must have noticed an elderly man with one
arm, who was doorkeeper to one of the ladies'
galleries of the House of Representatives. He
was notable for his courtesy and his infaible
punctuality at his humble post of duty. Few
people in Washington knew ANYTHING about
him except that he was faithful doorkeeper
al 500 per month. Those who saw his empty
sleeve naturally supposed that he had lost an
arm on one side or the other in the civil war
lie was quiet, dignitied old gentleman. who
came from his home to the Capitol and returned
to his home again when his work was done
One day last June he did not appear. A pale
woman came to say that he was very sick and
could not be at the door for a day or two. He
was never there again. In a week he was
dead from pneumonia. Then the reporters be-
gan 10 write long sketches of the dead door
keeper. Ii turned out that he had history
His name was George j. Stannard. He volun-
tered III ermont a> soon as war was declared.
Promotion came to him rapidly. and at last he
rose to the rank Of Major General. There
never was a drawer soldier. lie was shot ten
Times and had his right arm taken off at the
shoulder by shell. At Gettysburg and Cold
ilarbor he greatly distinguished himself. In
the army he was universally loved and honored.
Not one Of his associates at the Capitol ever
heard him speak of his services. brilliant as
they were. He accepted his lot in life with
cheerful resignation, and fought adversely to
the last a> brayely as he ever faced hostile
army. lie was a faithful, modest man, who
never dreamed that he was hero. He left
nothing but one months salary Atlanta
