The Board of trades Attention
EngrOssed by WeiShty Affairs.


At the board of trade meeting yesterday
morning the committee on rules reported
long list Of amendments to the constitution
and bylaws. In the general discussion Of
the report it was developed that the pres
ent work of the board is not at all what
was contemplated when the charter was re-
ceived, and it was thought best by some
members that an entirely new constitution
should be adopted. Mr.. De Laittre thought
that the constitution cut no figure IN the
! doings of the board anyway, and wanted IL
left unchanged The whole matter was
laid over for one week. Various directors
then expressed themselves on the bug pear
OF the board-fnanceS- as usual, no
difniIe outcome resulted.
Gen. Nettleton presented memorandum
looking to the enlargement of Fort Smell

of the necessary buildings Is S3l6,5l2.
The buildings include officers quarters,

entailed thereby. The convenience OF MIN

The Various Offenders Who Came
Up for Bearing--NOtes

Before Judge Young yesterday afternoon
was commenced the case against Nellie
Boyd, the young woman indicted as Jennie
Daley. for stealing two 500 bills from
Frank Holm, a somewhat unsophistcated
foreigner, some weeks ago. Nellie was an
inmate Of a gilded palace on First street.
and when Frank. in company with hVe
others. came in, she took him to her room,
where he alleges she robbed him OF MS
, wealth. The woman is short, thlck-set
person, with a face that is at once pretty
and tough. Big black eyes make her race
look whittier than it is, and this effect Is IN
creased by the pink tOque she wears. Holm
is slim young man, with blonde mus
tache, and wears his light hair plastered
down on his forehead as though he were
afraid it would escape. The case VIII prop
ably be concluded to-day.

He Has Plenty of Sensations Await

Mayor Ames was seen by GLOBE re-
porter last evening and. being asked how
he viewed the recent action of the grand
jury, said:
Since have reviewed the recent squirt of
reform 1 am satisfied that it is but one of the
periodical spurts at reformation which such
men as d. @. Bell, Deacon Nettleton, John
De Laittre, George A. Bracket, and such
one-idea fanatics and their ilk, are guilty of
every time they are offered an opportunity.
There are less than a hundred of them
in this great city of 10000 people, and still
they are able by their hypocritical cant, to
keep us in hot water by their spies and
application of Obsolete laws. If / were to
apply' those obsolete laws there would be NO
Monday morning paper in this city except
the GLOBE. What do | think OF the grand
jury? Why, it is farce and ought to be
abolished. 1t is disgrace upon the liberties
of the people. They are selected by partisans
for partisan purposes. If ever there was
set of slaves who Obeyed their masters, the
last grand jury was the dandy. If you will
| give me the selection of the grand jury will
agree to indct any man who opposes Demo-
Gratis and their methods. In my opinion the
grand jury was selected with view to the
work which they were expected to do to
further the interests of the grand old
Republican party" If it comes to "war to

The Orthodox Talk of PastOrates
and the liberals Of the Getty.

Tie OrtnOu0A NIX OF FastOrdtes
and the liberals Of the Getty.
The orthodox ministers listened to the re-
mainder of Rev. Joseph Lanman's paper
on the instability Of the Passionate"
What with the low salary paid ministers in
general? Frequent changes of residence
almost impoverish many of them, when, in
fact. the minister, to DO the most effective
work. should be rel q /. III great meas
IRE. from financial diaIreSs. This has had
lamentable effect in discouraglng young
men about to enter the ministry. Above
all. it was impossible for minister to in
struct his people in doctrlnal matters effec-
lively when pastOrates are short.
Bishop Foss said that the history of
Methodism, which makes short pastOralS
compulsory, concluslvely proves that the
system is conducive of nothing but good.
DR.. Van Anda. of the same church, had
moved with great frequency at his church,
commands, but he could see many virtues
in long pastorates. Dr. Senp}e thought
there was no general rule to be laid, down
on the subject. but long association of
minister and people was usually attended
with the greatest degree of success.
The association adopted the report of a
committee recommending that patients in
insane asylums be permitted to have one
uninspected correspondence.
The BARRIERS union invited the ministers
to attend their convention and express
themselves OH the Sunday closing move
ment.
THE LIBERALS.
''The Imminent Deity was the subject
of the paper read by Rev. w. S Vail. of
the st. Paul Universalist church, before
the liberal pastors yesterday. The reverend
gentleman said that the idea his subject ex-
pressed was one of the prominent princi-
pies of the early church, but was host with
the advent of Latanism. The idea of an
imminent God helps to solve many OF the
important practical questions that confront
QUIZ present civilization. Fiske and Others
of the eminent scientists Of to-day advocate
it. For centuries the early Christians were
imbued with this idea of deity. while hold
inc the Hottest views OF the Bible and OF

which church unity can be secured. and to
the individual who would live holy life
it offers every assistance.

The Fascinating New York Success
Has 4 Favorable Beginning.

Quite a little advance furOre was created
over the opera ''Erminie," which had such
a triumphant run at the New York Casino.
1t began its engagement OF week at the
Grand last night before a fair audience,
good as to quality below and strong as to
quantity above. The pretty little musical
absurdity was cast as original, with the ex-
ception that Miss Mamie Sutton took the
part of Javotte instead of Miss Annie Les
lie. whose throat was out of condition. The
plot of the opera has already been given,
but the stage reality is much more ludicrous
than a synopsis would disclose, while the
music, while allowing copious libretto, is
decidedly pleasing and catchy. Da-
boil and Solomon, as the thieves,
were pronounced by all to be quite
equal to their New York prototypes and
were lavishly applauded. Miss Manslo's
s.Ernnie' and the Cerse of Miss Urquhart
were both especially pleasing. Tie remain
der of the cast was quite up to the standard,
the Marquis of,Carl Irving being prominent.
The chorus work was excellent throughout
and added much to the success Of the opera.
1t may be said the opera grows on the nearer
as it proceeds, the interest increasing aud
the music improving with the acts. Err
mimic" will run through the week. and
there has been sufficient sale OF seats to
guarantee a fine audience each night. Sew
eral opera parties during the week will en-
liven affairs at the Grand.

the matter which many churches ignore
disregarding their contracts in way that
would bring ruin to a business man. No
firm would spend all its money for bust
ness place, and no church should cripple
its usefulness by putting too much money
in its meeting houSe. Then followed
strong plea for free seats
in the churches as against the
pew-rentng system. After interesting
discussion motion was made that it be
declared the sense of this meeting that the
seats in Plymouth church be free, and the
sittings as permanent as possible. The
motion was passed with but one negative
vote. 1t was decided to establish new
mission Sunday school. and committee
was appointed to determine the best place
in the city for such a school. A committee
of young men was appointed to assiss The
ushers In the Sunday services in welcoming
strange young people to the church
and find them good seats. A COM
mittee was appointed for the purpose
of organizing a male chorus among the
confreres. The establishment of Sunday
afternoon service in the Theater Comique
was agreed to, and Mr.. Thwing was named
a committee to secure ten volunteer usherS
and aids for that meeting. They will dis
tribute notices of the meeting in the Sa-
looms, especially those open on Sundays.

A meeting of the general soliciting COM

children's holiday dinner was largely at
tended yesterday afternoon. In the talk on
ways and means it developed that hungry
children have huge appettes and every
body in the city can do good by sending
eatables OF cash. 1t is estimated that 225
turkeys will be needed to allow each guest
small portion. Thousands OF biscuits
should find their way to Casino rink--and
if every woman in town bakes a cake or pie
they can all be prottably used. 1t was de-
cided to make an estimate of the food
needed and apportion the amount among
the different churches. At the same time
the committee will thankfully receive dona-
tons from private citizens. The plan as at

BOSTON SICK OF 1T,
And Hts Mayor Thinks Minneapolis
VIII Follow Suit.

The following personal letter from Mayor
O'Brien, OF Boston, to Mayor Ames. of
Minneapolis, is self-eXplanatOry:
In repl to your communication relative to
the workings Of the metropolitan board of
police in this city, will state that there are
three members upon the commission, one
serving five years, one four years and the
other three years. They are appointed by
the governor and are subject to his orders.
The mayor OF the city has no control over
them. The Democrats and citizens generally
never favored the establishment of such a
state commission, but Republican ]" isla-
ture created it, in spite of the strong senti-
ment in favor of local self-goverRment. In
my opinion the municipal authorities OF Min
neapolis would soon tire of such a board as
Boston has, if the state had full control of it
and Minneapolis had to pa the bills. Yours
truly, HUGH O'BRIEN, Mayor.
