it at some length, and said that the battle
now being fought was not an empty crusade,
but war for the honor of women, girls
and bows The rapid organization of So
cieties was dwelt upon and the great good
that was being done was spoken of.
William L. Stead, editor of the Pail
Mall Gazette, who exposed in his paper the
glaring immoralities of the aristocrats of
London, was spoken of as heio and de-
serving of all praise for his grand work.
The speaker was glad the young girls of

hand in hand and were now on the road TO
one common grave. She was glad to see
that the prejudice against this sort of work
had entirely disappeared, that now woman
who labored to save women was not looked
down upon. The work done for fallen
women i'll Chicago was mentioned and Miss
Willard thanked God that abandoned
women did not now have to kill themselves
before receiving any attention from good
women. The great question of equal purity
in man and woman was brought up, Miss
Willard urging that it should be as binding
on one sex as on the other The time was
coming, she said, when. unless a man was
temperate and pure, he would not be al

CALLED BACK.
Charlie Bennett Attempts Suicide
But Finally Concludes to Live.

Charlie Bennett is the name given by
barber who came to Minneapolis about two
weeks ago to work in the shop at the
Theatre COmiQue. He brought with him
his wife, Grace Bennett, who entered into
an engagement as first part lady, i. e.,
she helps to fill up the ensemble which
paralyzes the dudes when the curtain rises.
1t seems that Bennett is insanely jealous
of attentions paid to his wife by other men,
and carried on in very dramatic way
about her presumed unfaithfulneSS. Grace
put up with his little eccentriclticS until
last Friday night, when he gave her beat
ing. Then she emulated the example of the
switchmen and went on strike. The
lockout" was effectual and Bennett was
unable to get into her room on Saturday
night. He therefore returned to the
Comique at about o'clock yesterday
morning and took drink. Not such
drink as is commonly used to bring forget
fulnesS of the cares and fluctuations of the
world, but of the deadly laudanum which
brings on the sleep OF death. Fortunately
he told several people that he intended to
suicide, and when the effects of the drug
became apparent DR.. Kilvington
was summoned and at once APP
piled heroic remedies which soon
brought Mr.. Bennett back to life once more.
His abOrtive attempt upon his life was
evidently made for the purpose of regaining
the affections of Grace, who continues to
refuse to live with him. This is the sec

NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonles
of a severe attack of rheumatism, neural
gia or sciatica, and relief comes, it seems as
if a new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found to their great joy that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
At Dubuque, Ia, the druggists say Ath
lophoros beats them ALL We thought it
would be like many other rheumatic medi-
cines that have been put on the market,
sell for while. then gradually sink out of
our memory. But such is not the case
with Athlophoros: instead of our sales
diminishing they increase, and what makes
us have more faith in its future mission is
that our customers come back and praise it's
good work in the highest terms, Said one
druggist to the writer: ''My confidence is
SO great in AthlophOrOs that often sell
bottle with the understanding that if it is
not satisfactory will refund the money. l
have never yet had to pay the money back.
Mrs. G. j. Alabeck, 1867 Clay street. Du
buque, Ia, says: Il was subject to fire.

would be almost helpless. When [ COM

ing my arm in sling. could not move
my fingers without causing me pain. One
evening while suffering this way l heard of
Athlophoros. The next day l sent for a
bottle. I was little afraid of it at first Oh
account of the buzzing sensation it caused
in my head, but it worked like charm,
the swelling and the pain were gone, my
rheumatism was well. 1t is now year
and half, and l have not suffered any
snce.'
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills. but where they can
not be bought Of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros company, 112 Wall street, New
York, will send either Carriage paid on
receipt of regular price, which is 81 per
bottle for Athlophoros and SO cents for

For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia,
indigestion, weakness, nervous debility,
diseases of women, constipation, headache,
impure blood, etc., AthlophorOs Pills are

WILL ACT As M EN-.
Why q Large Body of COlOred Men
will Support Ames.

10 the Editor the OiODe-
Please allow me space through your
columns to inform your readers why so many
of rs, as colored voters, choose to cast our lot
with the Democratic party. In the first place
We want to inform the Republicans we are
men, and choose the right to think and act as
we please. We believe in order for our race
to ever accomplish anything in political way
we should divide our votes do other races.
Our continued adherence to the Republican
party has done US good only in a political way,
and in no other way have the members who go
to make up that party ever done for US as IN
dividuals any more then have Democrats.
Consequently we feel that we have paid our
debt to the party by our adherence to it, and
we have rights as other American citizens to
choose what platform to follow. Here Re-
publicans do not give employment to colored
men any more then Democrats. and they
could and should if they are our friends.
True, every Republican voted for Us to have
rights, etc, but he knew in securing our rights
for Us he would get our votes, which he did,
and the party staid in power by our assistance
until il got TO be the party OF monOpolists and
corporations, and then the people with one
voice cried it down.
Had more Of US supported President Cleve
land we would have had more of US in Office
to-day, but no, we were solid against him, and
the result is they who had good positions are
now walters, porterS and BARRIERS again.
Why do not some OF the good Republicans
take colored boys and girls in their offices and
teach them TO be business men and women?
Of the business men of the city nine-tenths
are Republicans and Christians, aud yet l see
no colOred clerks, and know it is hard for my
people to rent decent house IN a respectable
part of the city to live in-owned and rented
by Republicans. My people do not expect
much from the Democratic party, but ], with
over go others, am going to support that
party and persuade all we can to do so, and
believe if we, as a race, had or would stick by
the Democratic party as we have the Republi-
cans we would be seen as something else be-
sides walters, pOrters and BARRIERS.

dred laboring men responded to the call,
and after some preliminary remarks by Mr..
Blumenberg as to the purpose of the meet
ing, the chairman called on Evert Nyman-
over, the Scandinavian labor orator. He
said that as the meeting was called for the
purpose of discussing the labor question,
and what attitude the labOrer ought to as
sumo in the present campaign, he would
himself refer the assembly to man known
throughout the entire state of Minnesota
for his OratOrical eIoquence and political
knowledge, man worthy of respect for
his stand and straightforward zeal in this
campaign. Gentlemen, l make motion
that my countryman, A. F. Nordin, take
my place as speaker, and that he give US
his views on the subject which we are dis
cuSSing." The motion was carried. and
Mr.. NymanOver again took the floor. intro
ducng the assembled working men 10 Hon.
A. +. Nordin. who stepped forward and at
once received applause. He spoke briefly
but in cordial terms to the
meeting, explaining the difference OF
the Republican and the Democratic
platforms; that the laborer, be he Ger
man, Swede or American, on the whole
has much more protection TO hope for from
the Democratic party than from the Re
publican, especially when the name of such
a genuine friend of the tolers as that of
Hon. a. A. AmeS is on the ticket. Mr..
N0rdin then made some remarks about the
relation of capital and labor, and finished
by paying tiat;ering tribute to labor or
CARNATIONS as they to-day exist.
He was roundly applauded, and his
speech became the keynote for further
speakers who. on the whole. were in SYM
patty for Ames and the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Nymanover said that as long as we
cannot place a labor candidate in the field.
as our cO-laborerS in New York city this
fall have done. then let us vote with the
Democrats until we can. 'Boys, let us
give the Democrats a chance" he said.
The meeting closed with great enthusiasm
for labor and its cause, it being resolved to
have mass meeting again next Sunday
afternoon on Washington avenue north.
Several new members were received into
the society. the larger part being Germans
living IN Northeast Minneapolis.
Mr.. Nymanoyer addressed the meeting
in German. as did Blumenberg and others,
but Mr.. NOrdin spoke in English.

Political Notes.

Said an Irishman yesterday: "Twenty-f1ve
years ago a number of prominent Repubi-
cans got up on st. Patrick's Day, an efigy of
St. Patrick, with potatoes hung around his
neck for beads. That showed their feeling
for the Irish. To-day these same Republic
cans have hung out an Irish flag with the
name of McGill upon it. . There are many
IriShmen here who can remember the cir-
cumstance. and the know nothingiSm of it
when even the Irish church here was guarded,
and they now laugh when they see how the
Republicans suddenly love them-or their
votes"
The alleged French paper, on the East
side. which plagiarizes editorials, is really
owned by Loren Fletcher, K. b. LangdOn and
E J. Davenport, who furnished the money
with which Laramee and Demeules bought it,
No wonder it plagiarizes editorials.
The polling place OF the Fourth precinct

THE NEwsBOY QUESTION
ElOquentiy Handled at the Gem
IemarY Church nv Col. HaRaIand

ElOquently Handled at the Gem
tenary church by Col. HOgeIand.
Col. Alexander Hogeland. the News
boys Friend" occupied the Centenary
Methodist Episcopal church last evening,
and it is safe to say that larger audience
never gathered within the portals of the
edifice. On the front seats sat some fifty
or sixty newsboys and bootblackS, their
faces clean and shining. and their clothes
and shoes nicely brushed. Among the
audience were many Minneapolis people
who have always interested themselves in
these street arabs, and they all expressed
themselves as well satisfied with the man
ner in which the speaker handled his
subject. In the pulpit stood the flag of the
NewsbOys' association, of st. Louis. the
oldest flag of its kind in the United States.
The cOlOnePS manner of speaking is some
what like that of the noted divine. Tai
mage. He appeals directly to the hearts
of his hearers. and instead of putting on
long face, he is. for the time being, one of
the audience himself, and raises many a
laugh by his apt comparisons and humor-
Gus remarks. He said that while he was
out on the streets with the newsboyS he
made himself one of them, so far as pos
sible, and appealed directly to their
honor. He had, he said. no diff
iculty in controlling any number of boys
by his methods. The plan in vogue in
some cities Of arresting the boys, putting
them in jail for short time and then order
ing them to leave the city Within two hours
he condemned as wrong and the means of
making confirmed and hardened criminals
out of them. Considerable had been said
about the police of Minneapolis not taking
better care of the boys. How could they?
The police were not for the purpose of
picking up these boys and sending them to
school, and so far as he was concerned he
thought the Minneapolis newsboyS and
bootblacks were handled in a praiseworthy
manner. The colonel related number of
stories of boys in ST. Louis and other cities,
tending to show that they were not so bad
but what they could be handled by anyone
who went at it in the right way. The plan
of giving them money and clothes he did not
approve of. holding that in the long run it
made beggars and almost always tramps out
of them. They should work for what they
get in that line, and they would feel better
for having honestly earned it. One Of the
grandest works that could be done, he said.
was to remove the boys from evil influences.
and paid the W0mans Christian Temper
ance union of Cincinnati neat compliment
for having been so successful in that direc-
ton. The having of place where they
could go in cold weather, he said, was of
much Importance, and remarked that half
of the boys were driven TO the bad from
having no influences thrown around them.
To-day at o'clock there will be meeting
at the Y. NJ. G. A. rooms to discuss plans
tor organizing a newsb0yS club and help

REALTY AND BUILDING.
The Business in Minneapolis for
the asst Seven Days.


Cold weather seems to have good effect
on the real estate market, for during the
past week real estate men were rushing
around, full of business and making many
sales. Prices are steadily advancing. and
men in position to know state that at no
time within five years has there been such a
demand for all kinds of property. One of
the leading features for some weeks past
has been the growing demand for ''outside
property" that is property in the suburbs,
and particularly west and south Of the city.
This betokens speculation to some extent.
but it is thought that there will not be
much varying from present prices there for
some time yet to come. The owners of
property adjoining Minnehaha falls are
considering the advisability of cutting their
land up into lots and Will probably
do so in a short time. There is
a heavy demand for buildings of all
kinds, and agents are finding especial diff
ficulty in supplying all demands for tene-
ments. During the week there were 2S4
real estate transfers filed in the office of the
register of deeds, the consideration of
which aggregated Sis, 73S. The same
week in 1885 there were It's deeds filed, the
consideration aggregating S459. 1873. The
number of building permits issued was IS,
the buildings to cost S164, 1852. During the
same week in 1885 there were g. permits
issued, the buildings costing S123, 535.
NOTES.
There is a scheme on foot to have persons
taking out building permits pay fee to the
building inspector.
Wesley Neill will erect a $4,000 building
on the corner of Nineteenth street and Twen-
ty-second avenue south.
Washington avenue north is being graded
for the extension of the street car tracks
from Twentieth to Thirtieth avenue.
Eighty acres on the extension of Plymouth
avenue is being plated.
New Boston is attracting considerable at
tention at present.
Herman Rutgatz is erecting a handsome
brick block on Tenth avenue north and Fifth
street.
The old planning mill, on the corner of
Washington and Fourteenth avenues north
is being torn down. Substantial improve
meuts will follow.

greeted by very interested audience of his
countrymen. He spoke upon the political
issues of the day for an hour and a quarter
and his remarks were loudly applauded
Much good will result. at DasSel, Tuesday
very short notice had been given, but still
there was very good turnout and the
audience listened with rapt attention. At
DelanO on Wednesday the meeting was
held at the rink and was well attended.
The Watertown band furnished the music.
All who could attend were present and
greeted the speaker with frequent rounds
of applause. At Buffalo on Thursday the
citizens turned out en- maSse to listen to
the speaker, the Buffalo band furnishing
the music. The meeting was held in the
court room and everybody left pleased and
with food for thought. At Monticello the
hall was packed to overlooking with very
intellectual audience; music by the Buffalo
band, which was in attendance.
All of Mr.. Nordin's appoint

marked with success, for he abuses no one
and talks candid facts to the people. From
Monticello, Mr.. Nordin went to Mortified,

To-night's opening of the weeks run of
amusements promises something of change
from last week. At the Grand. the spec
tacular will give place to pure comedy,
Bunch of Keys" furnishing the material.
The company is said to be an excellent
one and the principal parts well taken. At

and melOdrama comes in. Nevada" is the
play and the story is of mining life in the
silver state. The gaunt faces of the an
arcbists have disappeared from the Dime

show, freaks and stage performances. The
sensational will hold the boards at the
Comique, with the added attraction of a
Knockout on Friday evening.
