ALL SORTS.

The cast collec ton in the Exposition art
gallery has given the cranks new subject
upon which to ventilate their ideas, and the
questions of municipal government. Sunday
amuseuents and the faith cure are being
given much ne eded rest
Col. W. S. King-That illustration in the
SUNDAY GLOBE is the best picture of me that
has ever appeared in newspaper.
Tommy Warren has secured another match,
and a good one too. Jerry Murphy of Mime
apolis has agreed to try to knock Tommy
out in eight rounds with the smallest gloves
the police will allow. Murphy must weigh at
least fifteen pounds more than his opponent,
but his weight, against Warren's experience
and superior knowledgs of ring matters will
count for little. Murphy saw the fight be-
tween Warren and Collins, or Nolan. or john
sou, or whatever the fellows name is and
then became imbued with the idea that TO
lick the winner would be an easy task. He
subsequently let off little blow, to the effect
that four rounds would be enough for him to
lick the little fellow, and out of this grew the
match. By the way, I see that Tommy in
variably tells reporters and others who may
question him, that America is his birth place.
AS matter of fact, believe he was born at
Manchester, Eng, and settled in this country,
after spending year or two aboard ship.
Tommy is blessed with keen appreciation
of American likes and dislikes, and is wise
enough to know how much more an Ameri-
can champion is appreciated than an Eng

Detective John BOY has been at Chicago
for the past week getting points on crooks
who might come here during the Exposition,
returned last evening, bringing with him a
valuable collection of pictures for the rogue's
gallery.
DR.. Kilvington had charge Of the cuisine on
the recent trip of the Chicago, Milwaukee s.
st. Paul Gun club. and imported a chef for
the occasion from the vicinity of Chaska. One
evening an indignation meeting was held and
a mock court followed. The doctor was found
guilty Of malpractice and compelled to eat
certain malodorous bird he had caused to be
served for supper.
On Saturday afternoon, just before the
storm, it was intensely hot in the Exposition
building. and q GLOBE reporter was wander
ing about with his tongue lolling out. Sud-
denly he met an exhibitor who exclaimed:
''In our display we have got something fine.
Come and see it, and you'll say it's the best
thing in the building The reporter followed.
Out of one corner Of the space the exhibitor
fished q bucket full of ice, IN the center of
which reposed a bottle of beer. The ex-
hibitor, about five minutes later, was vindl-
Gated.
Loupgers in the lobby Of the Nicollet house
amuse themselves by watching the express
sionS OF the numerous men who weigh them
selves on the polished scales placed there for
the purpose. The man who weighs upwards
of 100, but not above $50, mounts the plat
form with conscious pride and osteptatiously
notes the notch which indicates his heft.
Dudes with about 125 pounds of afectation
and style weigh hastily and never leave the
indicator marking their weight. 1t is always
carelessly pushed UP about fifteen pounds.
The very teshy man seldom troubles the
scales. When he does he carefully scans the
weight and then looks deprecatingly at such
q poor and incorrect machine.
