CURRENT COMMENT.

The Tribune, the '.ofiicial organ" of the
Presbyterian assembly, did a very gracious
act toward the visiting religionists yesterday
morning. The regular edition of the paper
was not quite filled up, so lot of city matter
was duplicated to make up. This was served
to all the city ana the few outside subscribers
of the paper. a second edition especially
for the Presbyterians was run, and this ,edi-
tion alone contained the CORY details OF the
Dempsey-Mohler Knockout and the sporting
matter generally. The natural conclusion is
that the Tribune will not intlict sporting mat
ter on the general public but reserves it for
the benefit of Presbyterian preachers, thus
putting it in the category of yellow-legged
chicken and pie.
~
a report is current that the board of edu-
cation should examine into. 1t is said several
petitions are in circulation asking the reten-
ton of .. V. Tousley as superintendent
They are taken 10 the teachers for signatures
and the names of those refusing to sign are
kept on Il separate paper for blacklist pur-
poses, if Mr.. Tousey gets his place again.
This is the rumor and should be inquired
into However, Mr.. Tousley says he don't
want the place and the board says it don't
want to unduly urge him, so in all probability
the ''back list cannot be used. SllD

Samuel n. Ewing, the Christ of Revelation,
who lives at Lake Calhoun, yesterday asked
permission to address the Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly. DIR. Moore the stated clerk,
informed him that the opportunity could not
be given. The commissioners probably fail
to realize the Importance Of the startling
news Mr.. Ewing.iS about to break to them, It
being nothing less than an official proclama-
tion that he is the Christ of revelation; that
principles OF the United States constitution
prevail

Personal COMMENT.

Aid. Lawrence-I cannot say, yet, whether
1 am in favor of the plan for bonding the
Eighth ward or not, as have not studied it.
l would like it submitted to a vote of the peo-
pie before 1 vote on it, anyhow.
John Hall-The people of Minneapolis who
want to see good ball playing, should raise the
extra amount necessary to get a first class
battery. The men are ready, but the current
price is too low.
Lew Harrison-This is one of the incest
tournaments ever held in Minnesota. Every
one is happy and considerable good shooting
is being done.
foreigners religion" observed a gentleman
yesterday, lit strikes me that the Presby-
terian assembly can find plenty of more profit
able work to do at home. There is the Afri-
can NJ. E. church, for instance, which seems
to stand in need of some reforming. AT least
it looks that way, when the secretary shoots
at the minister"

Probably Fatal Accfdnnr:--

George Burmeister, who keeps, saloonren
Washington avenue, between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth avenues south, is lying at St. Bar
tnabas' hospital with his skull bady frac-
tured, He went to Lake Harriet on fishing
expedition and became somewhat intoxicated,
in which condition he started to walk to CAL
houn. While en- route he met motor train,
and in response to the whistle got off the
track. He had scarcely done so, however
when he staggered, lost his balance and fell
upon the track. The motor struck him, the
tank coming in contact with his head, cut
ting horrible cash and fracturing the skull.
In an unconscious condition he was taken to
st. Barnabas' hospital. 1t is extremely
doubtful whether he will recover. He has
seven children, who were stricken with grief

The SecretLeague.

The publication in the GLOBE yesterday
morning of the formation of a secret law and
order league in the Eighth ward was a great
surprise to all concerned. 81 wondered how
the GLOBE got on to that" said AID Law
reEce, "for it was kept a dead seceet The
idea is this We have no fear Of the Eighth
ward being thrown open to saloons, for we
believe the patrol line will stay, but this is q
loose administration and we are on the look
out for blind pigs. The law will do its share
and we will use moral suasion, as the GLOBE
phrased it. We had a rousing meeting on
Saturday night, and L tell you we mean bus
iness."
1t is understood the league will be a full
500 strong.

An Old MAN Injured.

H. Snyder, widower, living at Bill First
avenue south, received severe, If not fatal,
injuries by fall last evening. With party
of relatives he was walking on First avenue
south in front of S. G. Gales residence. The
street and sidewalk are badly torn up in this
vicinity, and the old man inadvertently fell
over pile of stone. Severe gashes and
bruises and serious internal injury resulted.
Mr.. Gale sent the wounded man home in q
hack, and DR.. Kilvington rendered medical
aid. City officials should be stirred up on the
condition of this street.

A BETTER SHOWING.
More Activity in the Mills than
Since Last Fail.

The Northwestern Miller in its issue to-
day will say:
More activity is being shown among the
mills than at any time since last fall and were
the wheat capable OF as rapid reduction. the
-four output would probably approach the
heavy work done in October and November
The production OF last week showed quite a
gain, and was the largest since the phenome-
mai run Of the mills during the two months
named. The weeks flour output was l35, $50
bbls-averaging 22, $50 bbls-against I2O, 700
bbls the preceding week, and 107,517 bbls
for the corresponding time in 1885. For few
days antedating Tuesday, wheat became
steady and firmer, and the east as well
as other sections, was induced to buy
-four freely at quite favorable prices,
but yesterdays weakness had q dampening
effect on the market. Under the stimulus of
the better feeling, the mills were started up
Monday with more than the usual amount of
vim, and, notwithstanding the comparative
reaction since, they have almost without ex-
ception been increasing their output. The
latter is curtailed only by the fact that the
wheat grinds very tough and with COM
parative slowness. Besides the extra exer-
tons made by the mills, the idle part of one
of them, representing 1.500 barrels. will be
St. Paul daily globe., 1886-05-27

started up tomorrow. Under these circum-
stances, the production of the current week
will be heavy, and probably not far from i50,-
900. While the flour market is much less
active than on Saturday or Monday, there is
yet left something of n demand which may
develop into satisfactory market If wheat
will only remain quiet. q

Probably the richest city for its size
in the world is Cheyenne City, Wyo.,
the home of the cattle kings" said
Charles Jennings, a huge-sized Wes-
tern man from that territory, at the
Union depot "The population of the
city is only about 5000, and has about
$50 business houses, counting the cattle
companies offices, which number sixty
six"
"How much money is there invested
in cattle in Cheyenne CityP" asked the
reporter.
ITO my knowledge there is 1872, $780,
900 in that branch of business alone"
"All American, Supposed
'No, a great deal of that amount is
English investments. | know of at least
S5,000,000 and there may be great
deal more | know nothing Of The
Swan Land and Cattle Company's paid
in capital is G750,000; and then there is
the Powder River Cattle Company, with
a capital stock of Sl,500,000, the Duke
of Manchester being the chairman of the
company-thus showing the large
amount of stock held and controlled by
English capitalists. "
''How about other kinds of business?"
"Do you know it seems to me that
there is not poor person in the whole
town. If there is, there are very few.
There is about as much invested in other
kinds of business as there is in cattle
raising, thus making town of 5000
inhabitants worth 800, 000,000 and
where can you find another city of that
size in the world so wealthy The town

teen tons. The carriages were driven

A PIoUs FRAUD.
How Two Diplomats Succeeded in Tying
an Erectual Nuptial Knot.

now Two Diplomats succeeded in Tying
an Efectual Nuptial Knot.
l was once an attache at our legation
at Frankfort in the days of the old Ger
man Diet. Our main business used to
be to celebrate marriages. A religious
ceremony was optional; if the bride and
bridegroom did not demand this, the
process was summary. They had each
to sign and swear to declaration that
there was no cause why they should not
be married, and to pay 8 sovereign,
which was transmitted to the Bishop Of
London, in whose diocese all our for
eign Legations were supposed to be.
One day was sitting in the chancery
when an aged Englishman entered. II
want, he said, you to marry my
daughter" At first understood that
he wished me to be the bridegroom, but
he explained that l was only to be the
celebrant, and that she was to marry a
Frenchman. "He is scoundrel," he
observed. "Then why" | asked, "let
him marry your daughterP" "He has,
alasn' he replied, gained her affec-
tons; and if he does not marry her he
will run away with her" 81 suppose
that you are rich?" said. Il am more
than rich, " he replied; Il have an in
fallible system at roulette. This is my
daughters dowry; and it is to learn the
system that the Frenchman marries
her. "Well, " said, "come with the
pair tomorrow morning, and we will
marry them The next day they APP
peared and were married. The girl was
a pretty blonde, but the man was not
precisely an individual to whom a wise
father would either have entrusted his
ducats or his daughter.
After the ceremony the happy pair
went to Wisebaden, and the French
men-now the possessor of bride and
system-commenced oplay the latter.
1t was an absurd one-a sort of progress
sion on certain numbers on the roulette
board; but the curious thing about it
was that he always won, and actually
made several hundred francs by it.
A few days after was explaining all
this to French Secretary of Legation.
He startled me by the observation that
while the English girl was the wife Of
the Frenchman, the Frenchman was
not the husband of the English woman.
If we told him this was afraid that he
would leave the bride, who would re-
main in the singular position of being a
wife without a husband. SO we agreed
that the French secretary should send
for the bridegroom and practice pous
fraud. He explained to him that while
he was really married, he had violated
the law by getting married before full
filling the legal obligations, and that
for this he waa liable to punishment.
The only way, he added to get out OF
the mess was for him to be married
again at the French legation. Luckily,
the man knew nothing about law, so
the knot was at last effectually tied
round his neck. -LabOuchere, IN London
