DIR. SHAW,S ESSAY.
Cooperation Not Too Much of a
Good Thing IN minneapolis.

Under the title OF ''Co-operation in a
Western City," DR.. Shaw. well known in
this vicinity as a close student of social
science, in well printed pamphlet of 106
pages. has given detailed account of the
coopers' cooperative establishment, and of
the other cooperative enterprises that have
grown out of their success. 1t is a most
palnstaking, faithful and important his
tory of a movement now regarded by many
observers of social progress as one of the
most natural and enforced indications of
the way in which great and much needed
revolution is to be carried out. The Amer
lean Economic association has done good
work in publishing this pamphlet. and thus
indorsing it. The facts are of the greatest
possible importance, and deserve the atten-
ton of all we'll wishers of humanity.
AS arranged by Dr.. Shaw they prove con-
clusiVely that fifty or hundred men of all
nationalities can unite, can plan wisely. ex-
ecute quickly, and, generally, manage a
large business in the most efficient manner
possible 1t proves, also, that there is a
wonderful tenaciry of life in such associa-
tiens; that hard times and losses do not
make them crumble; but, on the contrary,
that such discouragements only make more

The annual gymnastic exhibition of the
West Minneapolis Turn vereins was held at
Turner hall last evening in the presence Of
a large number of spectators. mainly pa
rents and friends of those taking part in the
exhibition. Prof George Underwater con-
Quoted the exercises. and the audience
appreciated what his work had been III
training the scholars when the different
movements were performed. Danz or
chestra was in attendance and rendered
numerous agreeable selections. The first
exercise was the forming of pyramid by
the young men belonging to the turner's.
This was a thrilling exhibition sand drew
forth considerable applause. The small
bows then formed on the stage and went
through bewildering march and dance.
The same thing was then done by the small
girls, after which the boys and girls con-
solidated and went through variety OF
movements which were intricate in the ex-
IRENE. An intermissSn was then taken.
When this was over the young men treated
the audience to specimens OF fine club
swinging. A song and dance, with gayly
colored flags. was then given by the girls OF
the first class The young men again
formed themselves into living ladders and
pyramids. This exercise was one that at
tracted much attention, on account OF the
strength that it took to successfully accom-
plish the feat. The boys of the first class
gave exhibitions of long pole jumping, and
the exercise closed with some very fine
work Oh the trapeze by the girls Of the first
class. At the conclusion of the exhibition
Prof. George Underwater was warmly
cOmplimented fer the excellent work he had

HE WAS A HERMIT.
Close Of Singular Career in Henry
County, Found Dead in his
Hut,

John Tyler owning a small tract of
land in Eliza township, Mercer county,
was found dead in his little hut on Mon
day morning. after twenty>six years of
hermit life, and surrounded by queer
collection made during all these years.
He was discovered by Charles Smith. of
this CITY, who called at his hut. The
coroner who held the inquest on the re
main tells Of this singular man.
He was originally married and a son
was born to the union. Twenty-six years
ago he separated from his wife and son
at Davenport, aud settled in his hermit,
age and during the whole time that he
has lived there he has not allowed stick
of wood or piece of iron to be taken
from the place He saved every article
OF clothing he ever w0re-boots, hats,
coats-and the shells of the eggs he had
eaten. His hut contained several barrels
filed with egg shells He had an ideal
scheme for building a mill at some future
time, and was constantly picking up
scraps of Old iron and wheels which he
would store away to be used in his pros.
pective mill. The main part of the hut
was literally filled with old iron and col :
lections OF various sorts. Bags of seeds
of all kinds covered the ceilings. There
was no door from the main hut opening
in'o the little addition. the two apart
ments were independent. The little adj
diGon contained his old hats and boots
and there was scarcely room enough in it
for the little couch across which he laid
his weary body for its last sleep The
hermit seems to have been something of
a watch fancicr in his dav as well as a
lover of egg shells and the jury counted
a few soap boxes full enumerating abou,
one hundred and fifty watches, some OF
them taken apart aud the pieces piled in
hopeless confusion. Nine clocks we're
discovered, one being of the "grandfath,
er" pattern. Outside of the hut the
premises were covered with old iron and
wood in vii stages of rust and decay A
portion of the two acres was cleared and
planted in grapes and small fruits. He
is said to have been very handy with
tools and often worked about the neigh
borhOod
The wife and son from whom he
separated, died years ago. and no
other relatives have been heard of since
1856 or 1857, when he received letter
from a sister.
