it was the kind of presence Of mind you

Well, l let a brick fall and 1t went q

straight for him that if he had stepped

way he jumped his safety depended.

He threw his eyes up, sighted the brick,
and walked along as calmly rs if there
was no danger near. The brick struck
within eight feet of him, and made a
hole in 4 board big enough to give one

MI. Carnegie, the Pittsburg million
aire Is best known in England IS tho
director-general of the Carnegie half
penny press. Here is a story from n
Of the papers which shows the great
little man in another capacity:
A few years ago, in 1877, tlr. Car
negie wa on his way home from one OF
his flying visits across the big pond to
'his ain countric," Dumfermline. where
he was born, and which place he has
endowed with n 100000 library. when
he met in London or on the steamer
westward a versatile and accomplished
young man who played the "bunko"
game on him in a way that was peculiar
and bland. and has q history in the
present relation. The young man. who
was accompanied By his wife. a bright
and not unhandsomc woman, in a quiet
and semi-contidcntial way let Mr.. Car
negie gradually understand . he was

of the Earl of Anlie." Sent abroad,
you know, having earned the displeas-
uro of the old Eel for marrying without
his consent" The ironmastef, though
an expert on all the Bessemer and basic
processes and N decillionaire through
his Scotch shrewdno.s in building the
Edgar Thomson, was not a very good
Judge of Lords. and took the bait
Young Lord Oyilvy vas invited to spend
a few weeks at Mr.. Carnegie's summer
home on the summit of the Appala-
chians, at Cresson. There, although
urging on his host his desire to be ''in-
.>no ENouD ,,nfS1 tho old Enr1
relented a little" Mr.. Carnegie intro
duced him TO the proud Pittsburgers. to
whom it was gradually impaired that
there was a real live Lord among them.
No high teas were too elaborate nor
whist-parties too T>"hcrche after this
for the young cou;',. una OF whom at
least could trace h:- blood back to the
reign Of the Kin. from whom James

burger could not carry his pedigree be-
yOnd the time when Forbes flew the red
cross above the tieur-de-lis mt the forks
of the Ohio.
Lord Ogilvy and his spouse visited
Pittsburg. and the former was given the
entree Of the Du Qucsne Club. while the
latter enjoyed the Inequalities of the

A number of MIR. Carnegie's rich iron

young lord. 1t was tho old story. An
industrious chevalier and a quick
witted and rather pretty mate striking
golden notes on the harp of ~credulity;
for after \ little they disappeared in the
direction of tho star of empire, and Mr..

NO THIRD PARTY.

Elsewhere in this mornings GLOBE is
published a letter from AIr CHARLES p.
MAGINNIs to Mr. lGNATIUs DoNNELLY.
in which the former gentleman states his
reasons for refusing to join the latter in
third party movement. 1t is a well written
letter. in which Mr.. MAGINNIs gives fair
and forcible discussion of the political stua-
ton as it exists in this state He shows
most conclusively that in the eternal
fitness of things there is no place for
2 third party in Minnesota at this time.
All issues ola public nature are clearly de-
fined and the lines strictly drawn between
the Democratic and Republican parties in
this state. He furthermore demonstrates
that the interests of the farmers and labor
ers will be best subserved by allyng them
selves with the Democratic party. If there
be reasons why this alliance cannot be
made then he points out that the common
sense thing for the independent voter to do
Is to watch the nominations made by both
parties and to vote for the best men with
out regard to their party affiliations The
very sensible view that Mr.. MAGINNIs
takes of the situation must commend itself
to all reasonable minded people, and it will
no doubt impress Mr.. DoNNELLY with it's
soundness. The people Of Minnesota, who
are disguised with the corruptions of Re-
publican administration in this state, do not
propose to scatter their fire in the next bat
tie. They propose to stand shoulder to
shoulder in the ranks of opposition to Re-
publican misrule, and will concentrate their
fire so as to make it effective. The man
who is engaged in the attempt to work up a
third party movement is only fooling his
time away. There is no standing room for
q third party at this crisis.

WINoNA, Aug. 26.-Sheriff Bogart this
morning succeeded in capturing the horse
thief who stole the branded mare from Dom
aid Mckinney. Last Friday the thief offered
the horse for sale in Winona, but did not sue
coed in selling him. He soon left the CITY,
and later on Sheriff Bogart ascertained that
Mckinney had lost a horse answering the de-
scr1ptlon of the one offered for sale in this
city. Bogart has ever since been on the look
out for the thief, and yesterday afternoon he
received telegram stating that his man was
near Hokah. He at once started for the
place, taking Officer Byrne from La Crosse
with him. He learned that the mans name
was William Hohl, and that he had q brother
living in Hokah. Arriving at the brothers.

lance and found the thief in a room sleeping
on lounge. The man made an attempt to
escape, but was promptly handcuffed by the
sheriff and brought to this city

push the matter so as to raise the amount to
$4,000 as soon as possible a subcommittee

THEY BEGIN TO SCARE.

Since the nomination Of Mr.. GILFILLAN
the Republicans begin to realize just the
sort of tieklish position they are in, and
there is certain uneasiness all along the
line, which indicates a very reasonably
founded fear Of defeat. Mr.. GILFILLAN's
political record has not been such as to Sc
cure him the enthusiastic support of the
masses, without whose favor he can hardly
expect reelection. That his supporters
realize this fact is to be seen In
the feverish anxiety with which they
await the naming of Democratic candi-
date. That they are already pretty badly
scared is evident, and that they have good
reason to. be is equally patent. The Fourth
diStrictof Minnesota is too Important to be
practically unrepresented in congress and
the people are beginning to appreciate that
fact. The many and unmistakable indica-
tons, of this political awakening is
what has begun to furrow the
brows OF the Republican managers
with care and while the recognition OF
of the peoples unwillingness to be imposed
upon does credit to their discernment it
does not add anything to their comfort.
That widespread dissatisfaction exists has
gone beyond the question of a doubt. The
only thing remaining to be determined is
whether 1t is extensive enough to result in
MI. GILFILLAN'S remaining at home in
stead of going to Washington. With the
nomination of a proper person by the
Democrats there will be no difficulty III
settling that matter either. 1t looks as
though the right man would be ferthcom-
ing and that is why the Republican breth-
rem are getting scared.

He Caught No Els In.

PROSPECT HOUSE, N. Y, Aug. 26.-The
president was weary man tonight, for to-
day, in company with DR.. Ward, he explored
half dozen lakes and ponds, travelling in all q
distance of thirty miles, one-fourth of the
journey being made on foot. They took their
trolling lines along, but as they returned
without any fish neither Of them was willing
to admit that they had had a days fishing
The one unhappy moment of the journey was
when they passed Col. A. H. Belo, of
the Galveston News, on Long pond
who triumphantly held up for their
inspection four pound salmon TROUT. A
deer got into the lake in front of the Saranac
inn while the president was eating breakfast
this morning, and it was proposed to drive it
ashore and give Mr.. Cleveland a shot at it.
Two guides pulled towards the animal with
all their might, but like the bear which was
in the lake the day before, it got ashore IN
hurt, Notwithstanding that three balls from a
Winchester rifle skirted over the water in
dangerous proximity to it. This afternoon
Mrs. Cleveland entertained at the Cabin MR.
and Mrs. W. H. Corning of Cleveland, rela-
tives of Senator Payne.

very nearly exhausted. This result
has been brought about very nat
urally. The warm weather began early
and has been intense The demand for ice
therefore increased hugely, and the supply
proportionately diminished. Ii the pres
ent rate of consumption is continued, it Is
estimated that in two weeks there will be
no more Ice in st. Paul. The companies
therefore request all consumers to use ice as
sparingly as possible. This advice is well
worthy to be followed 1t Is deserving of
attention on other grounds beside the dan
ger of eXhausting the existing supply.
Physicians claim, and tile mortality
records seem to bear them out,
that a large proportion of the sickness and
deaths occurring during the hot weather is
due directly to an undue and injudicious in
diligence in ice water. The temptation
when one is overheated to seek speedy
and sure relief in treacherous, cooling
draughts of it is almost irresistible and in
jury is almost as certain. ''There is
danger in the cup under certain condi
tions even if the cup does not contain any
thing stronger than water, and though the
deprivation of ice would be heavy one in
many ways, the relaxation of the inordin-
ate consumption of ice water which it
would entail could hardly be otherwise than
beneficial to the general health OF the city.

Sol Smith Russell i'm His New Play.


Sol Smith Russell i'm His New Play,
ssPa.,'
To persons who are accustomed to seeing
Sol Smith Russell in his specialties his new
comedy, PA is somewhat disappointing at
the outset. But as the play prog resses much
of the old-time humor is developed and Rus
sell becomes himself again. pa is in the
line Of legitimate comedy and is q clean,
smooth play all the way through. In taking
the part of the leading character Mr.. Russell
has an opportunity for exhibiting phases of his
genius which he did not have in the special
parts of his former plays. His humor
is of the Denman Thompson type
characteristic for its uaturalness and, like
Thompson he can readily drop from humor to
pathos. The company is fairly good, each
member maintaining his and her part quite
cleverly. Miss Matte Ferguson, who is lead
ing support sustains her part as the wife of
q jealous old man admirably. Her best lines
are in the first act, but her song and dance
and the mock love scene in the second act
are the parts that elicit most ap-
plause. AS graceful as a fawn and
with voice like a nightingale it was
natural that her song dance should
elicit three or four encores. Miss Nelson as
the eldest and Miss Baucker the divorced
daughter, gave smooth and natural renditons
of their parts, while Miss Hagger as Pas
prattling child was the perfection of cute
ness. Messrs. Marsh, Lawton, Howe and
Warren all did well. but Mr.. Lawton's whist
ling act with the banjo accompaniment was
perhaps the most catching feature of the en-
tire play. Another performance tonight, to-
morrow night and Saturday matinee. Sale of

repertoire as announced for Fair week is as
follows: Monday and Tuesday, Musette

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Aug. 26.-During the ex-
petition of Gen. Forsythe into Sonora last
week after Geronimo he made an extraor
binary march. Leaving Huachuca Wednes-
day, the 18th, at 2 p. M, he was by Friday,
the Goth, 101 miles distant with 100 fighting
men, consisting of troops and D of the
Fourth cavalry. This is believed to be the
greatest cavalry march on record in military
history. Gen. Forsythe left Huachuca on in
formation which was brought III to the effect
that Geronimo was at Cuchuta ranch,
near Fronteras, and two hours after
the information had been received
at Huachuca all the available cavalry at the
post was in the saddle. On reaching Cuchuta
ranch an ambush was made for the Indians,
but it was found that they had left on the
morning previous. The soldiers, although
half dead for want of sleep, came up to the
place where Geronimo was supposed to be at
gallop as if on dress parade. Geronimo is
badly used up, with an arm broken and
nearly blind from wounds received in the
fight with Capt. Hatchtield. Both he and his
men are said to be very anxious to make
terms, and army officers, who know what is
going on, say very important news may be
expected within forty eight hours.
