ALL SORTS.

The firm of Clark, Eller & Howe, St. Paul,
will never starve to death. Yesterday
County Auditor Mcdonald received q letter
from the firm asking him to look up about
three or four hundred abstracts and mort
cages, but never said q word about paying
for the work. That's what call pure, I'M
adulterated GALL" remarked the auditor, as
he read the letter.
1t is entirely too bad of Hon. E. J. Daven-
port to say those naughty things of the GLOBE
for telling the truth about the finances OF the
county committee. The GLOBES article pro-
duced such clamor among Republicans that
he was obliged to say something, so he abused
the newspaper. He did not deny one of the
statements, and he will not now deny that
the collectors recently appointed to cover
the shortage are getting more questions than
money in their tours.
his courtroom yesterday by eXclaiming when
a witness broke forth in German: ''Here,
here, doD'C talk that stuff here. Talk United
States. You can't come here and then talk
in that way before this court" Another
laugh was raised when Mr.. Miller swore that
Mr.. and Mrs Just were married by a man
named Eoert. As the lawyer for Mr.. Just is
named Ebert the audience looked at him and
smiled. He blushed, and turned the CONVEX
saton iuto another channel.
There was many laugh raised in the dis
trict court yesterday when the ejectment suit
of Halloran against Doyle was tried. The de-
PENDANT had two daughters. both stOcky,
sturdy. red-cheeked lasses of about II and 10
years of age. They had obtained possession
of the house, the testimony showed and when
q deputy sheriff put in an appearance the two
girls appeared at a window, one armed with
big horse pistol and the other with an old
musket. and swore that they would blow the
head of of the first man who set foot inside
the house. The joke of the matter was that
neither weapon was loaded and had they been
the girls would not have dared to fire them.
Another witness was called to testify to see
ing firearms in the house. He said that he
had seen no firearms. but had seen piece of
rusty iron with hole in the end lying around.
This he thought might at one time have been
q musket but he was not sure.
W. B. Woolsey, of the East side, has a
horse. The animal is not a particularly hand
some one neither does it evince from out
ward appearance any great idea of possessing
any vast amount of speed. Charles Holt has
horse also. This latter animal is looked
upon as fas. animal. and has a record of
2:40 A few days ago, while Woolsey was
making the statement that his horse could go
fast if it had to. Holt determined to take the
conceit out of him, and so told Woolsey that
he knew of q horse that he, Woolsey, could
not beat. WoOlsey accordingly harneSSed up
his horse and went to the lower end of Uni
versity avenue, where he found large crowd
waiting to see the fun. AS WOolSey looked
around to see the horse he could not beat
Holt drove up with his $40 or5e. AS the
horses came abreast both drivers let the ami
mails go. and up the avenue they tore. From
the start w oosey's horse surged ahead, and
finally distanced Hollis racer. Holt was
greeted by bowls and yells of derisiOn. and it
cost him about Sll to buy cigars for the
crowd John Ryan, who sold WoOlsey the
horse, is now kicking himself, as he thinks.
with careful treatment, he could make a
racer out of the animal.
From the three-cornered fight that is going
on in the Republican camp it is anticipated
that those who have been indiscreet enough
to speak slightingly concerning certain of
our first families are now to be nailed to
the cross.
1t is to be feared that the Heunepin dele
CATION has become so strongly imbued with
ideas for gerrymandering Minneapolis into a
Republican city and the creation of an APP
pOintive police commission. that the need or
asking for the necessary Legislation to enable
the city to build decent municipal court and
lookup will be altogether overlooked.
Few would imagine perhaps that Sam Hill,
the Apollo Belvidere of Minnesota, and Cor
oner Hill are brothers, and fewer yet that
they are Quakers. This is a fact however,
and when the two meet they instinctlvely fall
into the thees and thous.
If there is any one thing more than another
that causes the lawyers in Judge Young S
room to smile it is to hear him, when noto-
rious woman of the town is called up for SEN
tence, remark to her that there is no reason
why she cannot become an honored and
highly respected member Of society. This is
favorite remark of his, and when Nellie
30 d stepped up to the bar to be sentenced
yesterday young lawyer remarked: ''There
goes another woman, who in time will be a
respected member of society, to prison for
rODbiQp a man.
