A RATHER WARM DAY.

On occasion it may be permissible to talk
about the weather, and if ever day de-
served comment the unanimous verdict of
thousands would be that yesterday was the
day. 1t was the hottest of the season, and
yet was universally enjoyed. That is a
characteristic of the Minnesota climate.
Outdoor life here is endurable and pleas
ant under conditions which in other por-
tionf of the rountry would render it impos-
sible. Doubtless in no Eastern city, while
the mercury was climbing near the hundred
mark, would so many thousand people have
devoted the day to the different forms of
amusement which yesterday prevailed in
ST. Paul with as great comparative comfort
as that enjoyed by the multitudes which
were bent upon having good time in the
Sanity city. 1t was hot of course, but
Minnesotians have learned that extreme
heat as well as extreme cold have differ
ent and more satisfactory meaning in this
climate than in any other.

A GRAMMATICAL PROBLEM.

The grammarians are puZZling their
brains to supply defect in our language
which is difficult to overcome. We have
no personal pronoun, in the third personal
singular. applicable both to males and
females, and this defect is giving the
grammarians any amount of trouble. For
instance, when a teacher says, Every
pupil may take their seats" he is conscious
of having made grammatical error
and yet he cart well avoid
it if there are both boys and girls in the
school room. If he says ''every pupil may
take his seat the girls are sighted. and if
he says every pupil may take his or her
seat it is felt TO be cumbersome. Prof.
TWEED of Boston suggests that it
would be advisable to adopt MATTHEW
ARNoLD's method of using the word lone"
and to accept it as the invention of new
pronoun of the third person singular that
should be applicable to either sex.
But this would sound awkward.
If addressed to a man and wife
it would be appropriate enough considering
the relation of oneness which they occupy
in the eyes of the law. But for teacher
to say, every pupil may take ones seat"
would be an extreme difficult. command to
obey even if it was dramatically eX-
pressed. The best the grammarians can
do is to let nature have her way with the
sexes. They were made male and female
in the beginning and all the grammarians
in the world can't reverse the decree.

Fourth--R ooseyelt's Speech.
Special to the Globe.
DICKINSON. Oak, July 5.-To-day was
the most noted in the history of Dickinson,
being the first Fourth Of July celebration
held in the town. 1t brought together
the largest crowd ever assembled in
this county. Morning dawned clear and
cool. The program consisted of a
grand parade, races and speeches
ending up with fine display of fireworks in
the evening. Hon. J. A. Rea, register of
the Bismarck land office, delivered an elo-
quent speech. He was followed by Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt. Following is a brief
outline of Roosevelt'S grafton:
l thank the citizens of Dickinson most
heartily for the invitation to address them to-
day. The people here assembled are doing
what our forefathers did the early history of
the country, building houses for ourselves
and families, but under different circum-
stances. Here we have grand country, a ter
ritory that will make OF the grandest
states in the Union. The hardships of pioneer
life IN Dakota are not what they were in

When Fort Sumpter was fired upon America

Mr.. Roosevelt was repeatedly cheered and
in his speech paid many compliments to the
Northwest.

sell, the proprietor of a livery stable and a
well-known horseman, made two desperate
attempts to kill himself last night. Some
time ago he bought livery stable from his
brother-in-law. Since then he has quarreled
with this relative. and the latter has made
several damaging statements about him.
Last evening he wrote Russell an insulting
note. which drove the latter to
drink heavily. Early in the evening
Russell went into room. and.
placing the muzzle of a revolver
against his temple pulled the trigger and
just as he did so bell boy knocked his
hand aside and only a painful scalp wound
was inflicted. He was taken to the city
hospital but he escaped tonight by leaping
out of a window and had secured a
pistol with which he was about to shoot
himself, when a policeman who had
given chase captured him. Again the ball
did no harm, and he was taken to the cen
trail police station and locked up.

Senator kenma Throws Down Four
of n Kind and Loses the Pot.
Washington Special.
Senator Bowen of Colorado is generally con-
ceded to be the finest poker player in Wash
ington. He is also very fond of coaching
ueophytes in the science. A short time ago
Senator Kenna of West Virginia conceived a
longing to learn the game about which he had
heard so much. OF course he applied to
Bowen for information. The latter was de-
lighted. For several days ne gave Kenna
lessons in the room of the committee on en-
rolled bills, of which Bowen is chairman The
West Virg1nian seemed to make rapid ad-
vancement, and the Colorado senator began
to boast of the proficiency of his pupil. 1t
was noticed, too, that while both were in the
senate chamber they usually occupied adj
joining chairs and were often in eager con-
verse. This caused some comment, as the
senators are from widely separated sections
of the country, belong to opposing parties,
and are on no committee together. 1t was
generally understood, though, that
POKER WAS THE SUBJECT
of conversation, since Bowen had been boast
ing of Kenna's new requirement. One night
last week q friendly party was gathered in
Bowen's room at the Riggs house. Kenna
was there, and SO was Dolph of Oregon, whose
skill at cards is recognized both here and at
home. During the conversation Bowen
started off on the old theme, and lauded Ken
mas progress under his tutorshlp. Dolph
suggested that he would give Kenna chance
to oshow his talent on a ffty-dollar limit
game. Kenna looked dubious, but Bowen
patted him on the shoulder and told him to
go in. The game began with Bowen leaning
over his pupils chair to offer encoura9 ement.
1t was stipulated beforehand by Dolph, how
ever. that no suggestions should come from
the Colorado man. Dolph put up his dollar
ante and Kenna dealt The latter held

king, a ten, and seven. With all the
eagerness OF a neophyte he came in and, lay
ing his pair aside, discarded the others. At
this point couple of Western members came
in, and it was some minutes before the game
proceeded. Finally Kenna dealt the cards.
In the draw he got two queens and an ace.
Bowen could hardly restrain his delight, and
it was evident from his expression that he
longed to yell to his pupil: go it my boy for
all you are WORTH Kenna did not seem to
be overpleased, however. As beginners gen.
orally do he laid his second pair aside from
the first, and putting his elbows on the table
awaited the betting. Dolph of course thought
his opponent had two pairs, as he is a sharp
observer during The game. Having three
aces himself he went about the betting in
very confident way. Putting $2e on the table
he looked hard at Bowen to detect any signals
that might pass between the teacher and
pupil. Bowen kept the agreement honestly,
but

with suppressed emotion and his FINGERS
seemed TO sink into the back of the chair.

The Postal Clerks.
speeial to the Globe


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 5.-Since
Postmaster General Villas has taken such a
firm stand in the postal clerk controversy
there has arisen strong feeling i'll
the ranks OF the organization that
and a stampede is imminent.
Many of the clerks are trying by every
means in their power to recall their resig-
nations from the custody of the member of
the executive committee having them In
charge; even going so far as to telegraph
to Washington not to accept and to
threated Injunction proceedings against
the custodian. This custodian has
103 in his possession, and by order of the
grand lodge he is instructed to fill in the
dates and forward them to Washington
whenever so directed by the executive COM
mittee. 1t is now conceded by the members
that no considerable number will resign.

RIVERS AND HARBoRs.

1t is taken for granted that the president
will veto the river and harbor appropriation
bill. 1t is said that he is itching for a
chance to put his signature to the message
which will call the attention of congress
and of the nation to the extra waste of
public money in this direction. 1t is even
intimated that he has laid away in his desk
quill pen plucked from an American
eagle with which he intends to sign
the veto. Of course this is all guess
work, as the president has never
intimated what action he intended to take
with regard to the river and harbor appro-
priations. There has for long time been
strong public sentiment in opposition to
these appropriations, but neither the legis-
lative nor executive department have been
strong enough to resist the Iog-rolling pro-
cesses by which they have been carrie
through. The fact that President CLEvE-
LAND has backbone enough to veto pen
sion bill encourages the opponents of river
and harbor appropriations to believe that
he will sit down on every measure
of reckless extravaganza. If the president
is convinced in his own mind that appropri-
atlonS for river and harbor Improvements
are a waste of public money he will I'M
doubtedly veto the appropriation bill. But
it is not so clear that such appropriations
are species of reckless extravaganza, and
the public is not justified in taking it for
granted that the president is going to inter-
pose the veto power simply for the sake of
preserving his reputation of being veto
president. Mr.. CLEVELAND is a man of
progressive ideas, and is expected to sus-
tain policy of internal Improvements by
the general government so long as the gov
eminent is not wasteful or extravagant in
its appropriations for that purpose.

PRlmRosE PRISON.
Ahe Salvation Army Captain Behind
the BARS for Bigamy.

Special to the Globe.
NEW PHILADELPHIA, o. July Capt
Henry Primrose, leader of the Salvation
army here, who was arrested for bigamy on
Saturday was bound over to court in the
sum OF 81, 900. He was unable to procure
pail and was sent to the Steu-
benville Jail. 1t was developed
that Capt. Primrose was thrice married
and had he remained here ten days longer
he doubtless would have had his fourth
wife. He had won the affections of an
excellent innocent lass of IS here,
and the day, it is said, had
been set for the marriage. This young
! lady was nightly attendant at the saliva
ton meetings, and thought as many
others here did, that he was
| single man. Capt. Primrose was
dashing young fellow. He could sing
louder, pray more fervently, and shout
hallleiuJah with such genuine enthusiasm
| as to stir up the feelings of the
soldiers, and engraft himself into their
good graces as a model captain. At Steu-
benville, east of here he preached in his
own original style, and among his hearers
was a beautiful young girl, Jennie
Stiers. She loved dearly to hear
the gallant soldier sing and pray, and her
| Innocent heart went out to him in its en-
tirety. Capt. Ham was her model
OF everything that was good and
true, and in his presence she
felt she was filled with good. The
young officer proposed to Jennie and
they were married at the Methodist
Episcopal parsonage by Rev. Mr. Hol-
| lingshead. Matters went smoothly for
few weeks, when one day ere the honey
moon was over. the bride, on reading a
| Salvation Army cry, happened
to notice the name of Mrs. Primrose
of Wilmington, Del. The thought struck
her that her husband might have another
wife, and she sat down and wrote to the
Mrs. Primrose at Wilmington, max
| ing inquiry if she were related to Henry
| Primrose. The crushing reply came quickly
| back that she was his lawful wife. It sub
sequently developed that another wife of
| his had died at Harrisburg, Pa. On
| consulting with the authorities she
| concluded to prosecute Primrose to the
| full extent of the law. On her complaint a
| warrant was SN Orn out and he was arrested
| here while doing some work at the rolling
| mill. He does not deny the much marrying
| business, but defends himself with the state
| ment that he had been told that his Will
mington wife had procured a divorce.
His statements being so contradict
DRY he was held for trial at
| the common pleas court. The wing Of the
army has been completely broken up since
| the affair came to light.
