on a pleasure trip and visited Miss
Flora Joseph, OF that city. On Sun

A typographical Error.

"By an unfortunate typographical

''we were made to say last week that
our distinguished townsman, Prof.
Kennedy, was about to rig up a mob

ioyment OF nis daughter on her we'd

How He Got Married.

The last few days of encampment
week the town was overrun with gan1b-
lers and fakirs, and no less than 80 Of
these s.hardworking" gentlemen called
on city clerk Schilling for licenses. In
several instances as high as 5000 was
offered by single individual for a
permit to run his game, but the clerk
turned deaf ear to all Of them and
they went away swearing vengeance
against the city clerk in particular and
the city authorities in general. One Of
the gamblers was heard to remark that
he would have given 81, 900 for a per-
NIT to run his game had he known that
there would be such crowd in town
Tuesday, but even if he. had planked
down cool million the much coveted
permit would not have been forthcom-
ing The stand taken by the city au-
thorities is very highly commented upon
by several of our exchanges. The Cas-
ual Listener of the Pioneer Press says:
.The town of New Ulm is. in some
respects the most wide-open one | ever
saw. The saloons and stores of all
kinds remain open on Sunday just the
same as on any other day. There is no
suspension of business. The amount OF
beer sold on Sunday is enormous. Yet
it is one of the most orderly towns in
Minnesota. A drunken man is rarely
seen. There are one or two things,
however, which the officials will not
permit. A gambler or fakir had better
not 90 to New Ulm. It will be useless
for they cannot stay in town five hours.
In this particular New Ulm is the most

NEW [TLM AND VICINITY.

The Guardsmen encamped at New
Ulm accepted an invitation from Mayor
Mason to parade in St. Peter on their
way home. The invitation was accep-
ted, company A of this city accom-
panying the Second regiment as far as
St. Peter. The parade was necessarily
cut short owing to lack of time and the
terrible dusty condition of the streets.
At the park bounteous feast awaited
the onslaught of the boys, and, after a
short address by the mayor, arms were
stacked and the final charge was made.
Coffee, Lemonade, sandwiches, cake,
cigars, and last but not least, lager
beer, was served out to the hungry and
thirsty soldiers in great abundance,
and the As minutes stay in the park
passed only too quick. The people Of
St. Peter are grand entertainers and
they did themselves proud on, this oc-
casion. The main streets were very
nicely decorated in honor OF the visiting
soldiers

The production of the pile surface
from cotton was known in Spain as
early as the twelfth century, and sug-
gested to the Italians the subsequent
manufacture of silk velvets. These
cotton stuffs were called fustian. and
included what is now known as cordu-
roy, though when in England wool was
employed in the same way instead of
cotton that product was also called fus-
tan. Fustian in those early days was
worn only by the privileged classes.
Even the word corduroy signifies the
kings cord. But with the introduction
of silk velvets the goods took lower
rank, and in time came to be regarded
as suitable only for the poorer people.
With late improvements, however. in
their manufacture, especially in colors
and patterns. there is a revived fashion
for this material for both mems and
women's wear and for children's suits.
Velvets have also been in large demand
and velveteens have followed suit.
Among the prettiest and most desira-
bic of all the new goods have been the
fine light imported fabrics. with tufts or
bourette threads, used alone or in COM
bination. with plain material to match.
So popular are these goods that it is
difficult to supply the demand. and
what is here to-day is gone Tomorrow.
as those find to their cost that like to
'sleep upon" decisions SO important
as those relating to new gowns. So de-
sirable are these new goods that not
even their price, though extravagantly
high for cotton fabrics, has deferred
buyers, except those whose shallow
purses are in perpetual conflict with
their cultivated tastes.-N 7. Herald.

The large demand of late for fabrics
of a pile surface, rs velvet. velveteen,

deficiencies and desiderata in American
textile industries. With the exception
of q few plushes for upholstery pur-
poses. which have lately been success
fully manufactured in the United States.
and certain kinds of carpets, which have
nearly driven out all importations of
similar goods, Europe continues to mo-

creased rapidly in the past few years.

Some Of the Devices Employed In England
to Keep Convicts Busy.
The convicts were marched into a
large yard and formed three sides of a
square, standing about five feet apart.
facing inward. Near one end of the
line was pyramid of twenty -four pound
cannon balls. In the center of the
square stood the officer or guard.
When all was ready he gave the order.
''One," when every man moved side
ways five feet to the right, which
brought the man at the head of the line
opposite the pyramid of balls. Two"
Every man stopped down without bend
ing the knees, the first man taking a
ball from the pile. the others going
through the motion till ball reached
them. Three" The men moved
back to their original places. -Four"
They stopped and placed the ball upon
the ground, not being allowed to drop
it. And so on the movements con-
timed. the orders quickened at the will
of the guard till the balls were all con-
veyed through the line and piled up at
the other end. 1t required but a few
minutes of these rapid movements to
bring every man into state of prOfnse
perspiration. showing that the labor
was of the severest kind. A short time
was allowed the men 10 rest. when they
were again called to order, and. by the
same movement the balls were returned
to their original place, and so on
throughout the day these cannon-balls
were passed forward and back, with
no object only to furnish labor for the
men.
In the prisons established upon the
solitary or separate plan. where the
convicts work in their cells, they have
what they called the 'crank labor" an
iron cylinder or drum two feet long and
eighty or twenty inches in diameter
resting upon legs. A spindle or shaft is
passed through the drum, with crank
on one end for turning it. Attached to
the spindle within the drum, which was
filled with sand, were fiat arms, making
it necessary to use considerable force to
turn tia dull. heavy drag. A dial attach
ed to the machine registered the number
of revolutions the convict had made.
From eight to ten thousand was the
usual daily stint. Can one imagine a
more terrible situation for human be-
ing to be placed in than to be shut up
alone in q cell ten feet square. and from
morning till night compelled to turn a
crank attached to such an Internal ma
chine, with no results, nothing accom-
plished, no object, no hope except to
complete his task. for upon that de-
ponds his supper of gruel?-Cor. Boston
