1t is said that old Londoners admit that
the recent riot was the work of the most
powerful mob seen in that city since the
beginning OF Viclorsa's reign, nearly half a
century ago. The London correspondent
of the New York Times thinks il was prob
ably the greatest since 1880. And yet, as
he says, the mob was virtually in for
eign country, and much the less dangerous
on that account. II the rioting had taken
place where the men who composed il live,
in the East End OF London, instead of In
aristocratic quarters, from five TO ten miles

The season of the Northwestern league
is drawing toward its close and this month
will wind il up, the closing games occurring
on Sept. so, with Minneapolis at Duluth
and Oshkosh and Eau Claire. There can
be no prediction yet of the outcome, though
1t seems reasonably sure that Duluth will

kOSh get second place. 1t is the opinion of
the Minneapolis team that Eau Claire is at
present the strongest team in the league.

stronger batterS. st. Paul, Milwaukee and
Minneapolis will probably fight for prece-
dence at the tail end with the chances in
favor of Minneapolis crawling up one
notch. During last month the home team
played fifteen games, winning eight and
losing seven. SowderS pitched in every
winning game and lost but one, which he
should not have played not being well.
The club has but two weak points. short
stop and change pitcher Outside of that
there is not a stronger team i'll the league.
These points will be remedied at once. Mike
Mallahan, formerly of the Providence team,
has been signed and will play on Saturday.
He is a strong fielder and heavy batter
and will be an acquisition to the team.
Manager Whitcomb has made several efforts
to secure first class pitcher to change with
SowderS, and now thinks he has his hands
on the man he wants. 1t is also probable a
brother of SowderS will be secured. Faatz
has been doing fine work of late. his catch
ing and batting both being eminently salts

balanced. The home play for the last
month, will begin on Saturday. Minneap
oils has yet twenty games to play. of which
two are postponed games. Of these, eight
will be played at home and twelve abroad,
as follows: At home, Oshkosh, Eau
Claire. Milwaukee and st. Paul, two games
each; at Eau Claire, st. Paul and Duluth,
two each, and at Oshkosh and Milwaukee,
three each. Beginning ON Saturday. six
games will be played at Minneapolis on six
consecutive days. varying among Milwau-
kee. Oshkosh and Eau Claire. At the close
of the league season, Manager Whitcomb
will take the team to California and through

All SOR rs.

The approaches to the Exposition were in a
comparatively respectable condition yester-
day. The numerous fakirS who infested the
avenues like beasts of prey have all been
cleared away. 1t was about time. Reports
were IN circulation that some of the police
officials were interested in the games and
they found it necessary, to clear their skirts
to make wholesale raid. Though they tenn
ported with toe fakirS, the good work has
been done at last.

per cent dividend the first month, and Is
now laying up surplus.

he will never take another man home.

It's very peculiar what an aversion some
of the fakrs manifest to remaining in the
lookup over night. They seem to think it is
all right TO rob stranger and make him ap
ply there for nights lodging; but it is a
different matter when they are put in them
selves.
The first straw came in yesterday. The
crop year ended with August, and Secretary
Sturtevant of the chamber of commerce has
figured up the wheat receipts for the year.
For the year ending August 81, 1885, Mime
apolis received 81, $50 bushels of wheat
against 81, 112,840 for the preceding year
and 23,514, 567 for the year preceding that.
The increase over lastyear was GA, 140 bushel.

Assumes His Duties.-The Retiring
Officers Farewell.
The resignation of Assistant General Su-
perintendent Prior of the Milwaukee rail-
way was announced yesterday, taking eff
feet at the time, and was received with gen.
eral surprise. Some days ago a rumOr to
that effect was heard but upon denial was
quickly dropped. 1t was stated yesterday
that Supt. PriOr's resignation grew out Of
the suit recently brought against him by
tn heirs of the late Manager Merrill, but
there was nothing to SubStantiate it. and it
is generally accepted that he resigned to
avoid further labor at his ripe age. He is a
man of great wealth, and So, 900. 600 is
mentioned as the proper estimate of it. The
resignation was accepted, and yesterday G.
w. Case was installed as his successor. His
headquarters will be at Minneapolis, and he
will have jurisdiction over the following
lines: River division, Dubuque division,
Chippewa Valley division, Hastings & Da-
kota division, Iowa &c Minnesota division,
and the new lines from Andover to Harlem,
from Ipswich to BOwdle, from Glendale
north and from Roscoe north and south. as
they may be completed, are attached to the
Hastings & Dakota division. Supt. Case
was formerly sation agent here and has
risen in the employ of the company, step by
step, to his present position. Supt. Prior
yesterday issued little farewell circular to
his late associates, bidding them adieu as
follows:
Fellow Employees of the Chicago, Milwaukee
g. ST. Paul Railway Company; To-day closes
my twenty-siX years of service to this COM
pany and OF my association with you. Very
many of you have long been my personal
friends. Hundreds of you L have learned to
value for your fidelity to every duty and your
suffciency in every emergency. l cannot
bid you farewell one by one. l wish you all
godspeed and daily consciousness, as well as
pleasant recollecuons, of well-spent life. 1
bespeak for my successor and the good old
company, with no doubtfulness of expecta-
ton, the same cheerful loyalty which you
have always accorded to my official relation.

An Hon0red Title.

Omaha Herald.
The word woman" carries with it a
broad meaning. 1t constitutes title that
a man uses when speaking of his mother.
Yet there are those who seem to regard the
title as not good enough for them. They
want to be known as ladies. Why, it is
difficult to tell.
Members of the gentler sex are respected
for what they are. As a whole they are
deferred to, and individually they are al
most certain of courteous treatment from
men. The assumption OF the title ''lady"
can in no sense strengthen the claim they
have and which is generally acknowledged.
In fact it often seems undignified and in
appropriate. A LADY advertising for a
situation as ''saleslady" would act more in
accordance with good taste to be an ener-
getic young woman looking for clerkship.
