NOT DEAD. BUT SLEEPING.

1t is so quiet in social circles one feels
like getting off in a corner and whisper
ing, ''Hush. you'll wake the baby"
TO the inquiry, What's going on" one
gets uniform surprised-from-a-s0und--
sleep look, uniform Nothing" until
the inquirer begins to wonder what on
earth he is going on for, and has ten
minds out of tenSand half to stop short
right where he is. Now and then there
is a luncheon; now and then there is
dinner; but, as small boy might say,
"Umph A fellow can get all that at
home.' Any thing out of the ordinary
is prescribed, and, but for the hints OF
something startling in the amateur
dramatic line after Lent, there would
be absolutely nothing on which to base
ones hopes for the future.

mony. In this latter case the wife and
eldest daughter are expected to attend
the wedding, and it would give the
gravest offense should they decline the
invitation. They are also expected to
appear in better garb than any of the
parishiOners. This necessitates the
purchase of new sarafens (petticoats).
Thus the poor priest is forced some
times to deny himself even necessaries
that his women folks may present a re-
spectacle appearance at the village
gathering Often the parish is small
and poor. and the contributions from
the villagers very meager. One peas
ant will, perhaps, give kOpekas (219
cents, another 10 kopekas. but the mer-
chant usually doubles the peasants
gift.

WOMAN AND DISTANCE.

Just withdrawn from the ballroom glare
My coat was brushed by her perfumed
hair;
Ny eyes were met by her eyes, where
saucy do and n ''don'tyou-dare,
A touch me-Dot and inviting stare,
Defined the line and faltered there
Though she was near and falr.
But could not helpit, nor you, swear;
Her lips were tempting beyond compare,
stopped and. kissing them hot and square,
She--kssed me back and was debonnaire.
As though she'd never made out TO care,
And somehow or other, DO declare.
She straightway seemed less falrl
Somehow or other, all unaware,
A charm was gone and without repair;
Twas not the scent from her silken hair,
Twas not the CLINT from her throat so rare,
Twas not the sweets from her bosom bare,
But the indefinable ''stand-o off, air
All! that had kept her fair.
Crazes travel fast. Mrs. Langtry
fenced. Descriptions OF her uniform,
accounts of her skill, of the marvellous
effects of the exercise upon her beauty
and grace, went the rounds OF the press.
Mrs. Langtry liked it-that is, the ad-
yertising. New York girls caught it
that is, the craze. They must all fence
if they put their dear eyes out and had
to take off their beloved cOrsets to do it.
Westward the course of empire and
fads go by steam. Chicago girls fell a
victim, and now st. Paul girls follow.
A Frenchman, who edits a paper III
Minneapolis, was prevailed upon to give
lessons in the noble art OF fencing to
three society men here, but he firmly de-
clined to extend his services to young
women. That is, he so declined until
Miss Gordan and Miss Sturgis brought

lighted with the aptitude they show for
his adorable art.
Now that fencing has come upon us,
one wonders how long some of the
others will be in getting here. There is
Mayor HeWitt'S daughter, with the fe-
male orchestra she has so successfully
led in New York. Who will reproduce
her in st. Paul? Then, too, there is the
political fad. Political economy is be-
ing taught in fashionable finishing
schools East, with the same cOnScien
tious regard for thoroughness that ever
regulated the study of French, music,
dancing or etiquette. An hour each day
is devoted to the discussion of topics of
the times. and bud who can not pratt

RUSSIAN PR EST MARRYING A COUPLE
Their education is somewhat above
that received in our public schools,
writes the Countess NOrralkOw to the
Chicago Herald. but as the opportunity
never occurs for entrance into uni
versity they are not versed in classical
lore. The Russian priest, or pope, as
the people call him, is at all times
ready for the discussion of public ques-
tons, but if he finds himself on the
wrong side of the argument he will
simply smile and walk away; he thus
avoids all feeling of anger on either
side. The income derived from we'd
dings, christenings and funerals and
even collections from other sources
proves entirely inadequate to his wants.
He cannot remarry, as the law
allows him but one wife, and
should she die he must forever remain
widOwer, an unpleasant contingency
to contemplate. He therefore selects
the healthiest woman he can find, in the
hope of long life of domestic bliss.
Travellers always feel free to stop at the
priests house, but the heaviest burden
he has to bear, and one which taxes his
resources to the utmost, is the bringing
up and suitable education of his numer-
Gus family.

DERELICT GOV. RUSK.

Gov. RISK, of Wisconsin, is a cOndi-
date for denomination and re, election.
He should instead receive the cold
RUSK has been derelict in the perform
anee of his duty. Early in his present
term of Office his attention was called
TO the infamous denS existing in the
northern portion of the state among the
pineries. In half-hearted way he took
some measures looking to their suppress
sion, but as the excitement died out his
efforts relaxed, and there is reputable
testimony to the effect that to-day the
dives are more numerous and more
notorious than ever. Had GOV. RUSK
been thoroughly efficient. had he been
conscientious i'll the performance of his
duty, he would have seen to il that the
different county officers beStirred them
selves in eXtipating these denS of infamy.
even if they are beyond the direct reach
of the state authorities. The condition
of affairs now existing is not only dis
grace to the present state adminiStra-
ton, but it is disgrace to the people at
large, al imputation upon the entire
Northwest. That Gov. RUSK should
come before the people with this stain
of almost criminal negligence upon his
record indicates a height of audacity
surprising even when attained by Re-
publican politician.
Gov. Jerry should be retired to
well-merited obScurity, and the people
of Wisconsin, having tired the party
now in power in that state and HAY
ing found it wanting, if they are
really DESTROYS of remedying the evil,
would do well to place Democratic
governor, with the courage of his con-
victionS, in the executive chair.
The GLOBE has published the details
of the Hurley infamy not only because
ii was legitimate news, but because it
deems it the duty of the public press to
call the attention of the public to the eX-
iStence of such a horrible state of
affairs. 1t is the duty of both the press
and pulpit to arouse such sense of in
dignation in the public mind as will
lead to the speedy determination of evils
borhoOd of Hurley. InaSmuch as the
Wisconsin authorities have been derelict
i'll this matter, the GLOBE insists that
the peple of Wisconsin shall take imme-
diate steps to vindicate the fair name of
their state by suppressing this gross
immortality, which is foul blot upon
our civilization.

STILL CUTTING RATES.
The Amounts, However, Are Small
but Still Rather Numerous

The rate cutting is still going on but
the roads are taking smaller bites than
they were at first, for none of the lines
appear to be quite so hungry as they
were few days ago. One of the prin-
cipal freight men of the Chicago lines
was asked yesterday what he thought
would be the end of this contest and he
replied: 81 don't know, l don't know;
bankruptcy, guess" All the Chicago
roads here put in yesterday the same
rates eastbOund as were put in last
week on westbOund, except On grain
and its products. First-class is now SOC
and so on down to 12c. In addition to
this Eastern trunk lines have made a
rate Of roc first-class to Chicago on all
freight destined to st. Paul d Minneap-
oils. This gives these two cities
a through rate as follows: 1-1.O0,
This is just what Chicago has
been struggling against for years, and
this it is that has given her her COM
mercial greatness. The eastern trunk
lines cannot longer refuse to recognize
the rights Of the two great cities of
however, to these lines. The 500 road
has compelled them to do what they
never would have done, except through
cemp,tlsion. One other little cut was
made yesterday, which is good as far as
itgoes. New lumber rates were put in
between Chicago, Council Bluffs and
Omaha, which reduces the rates from
st. Paul to Omaha to Is cents. 1t will
be observed that, though the cutting
continues, the reduction is only in small
sums.

A rich SileSian land owner was madly
smitten with the charms of Berlin
beauty, and spent 4 great deal of time
and money at the capital of Prussia.
Walking one day past jewelers. store
with his love they saw diamond brace
let which put the girl into ecstasy, and
and she swore she must have the set.
Entering the store the SileSian was
put out of cOuntenance at hearing it
quoted ut 500 as the lowest possible
figure. IF you can persuade the man
to take $1,000 for it l will give you the
jewell" said the man to his lady. But
the iewelcr declined, and in spite of all
the loving looks and more loving words
of the girl, the stern SileSian refused TO
pay any more for it. They departed
and separated after rather acrimonious
discussion.
On the day following. the lady took
500 to the jeweler and persuaded him to
60 and offer the bracelet for another
loo to her lover. The plan succeeded
so far that the SiIeSian bought the
trinltct at the price, but the lady waited
all day in vain for him TO come and hand
her the treasure. In lieu of that the
postman brought her letter stating
that urgent business had compelled him
to depart suddenly for home. The scene
of the previous day had evidently. cured

But observe the denOuement. The APP

and that they had been producing zine
plate and gathering wealth with the
article practically on the free list, even
if they didn't know it. Evidently there
was nothing more to say. The expert

essentially that which scores of other

tend to fear the utter destruction of
their business through the removal of

MUNICIPAL Union.

The movement made by the ST. Paul
chamber of commerce yesterday in the
direction of opening negotiations with
our twin sister up the river with respect
to an organic union of the two mnnici-
palities will be surprise to some, and
possibly theme of jest for others But
for all that the proposition has serious
aspect, and while the fulfillment of Mr..
MCCLUNG's plan for uniting the two
cities into one may not be within the
Immediate range of vision. still it is not
entirely beyond the range of probabili-
ties. The actual consolidation Of the
two municipalities may or may not
be considered advisable according
to the light in which the prop
osition is viewed. But upon
ono thing the entire people Of the two
cities are agreed, and that is the neces-
Sity for cultiyating more cordial relations
and acting more in concert with regard
to all matters pertaining to their mate
rial interests. Every clear-sighted, fair
minded man comedies that the interests
of st. Paul and Minneapolis are identi-
cal. Chicago looks with all envious eve
upon these twin sisters seated here
at the head of navigation on the
Mississippi and holding the key to
the golden Northwest. Chicago never
knew successful rivalry until st. Paul
and Minneapolis approached the zenith
OF commercial supremacy. 1t has been
the policy of Chicago to kill off all cities
that Sprang into existence within
radius Of five or six hundred
miles of it. That is why no other CITY
of Importance was permitted to grow in
Illinois. That is why Iowa. with all its
great resources, has never been able TO
build up commercial center. Chicago
helped to build up Kansas City for the
purpose of crushing st. Louis, and
when that aim is fully accomplished it
will endeavor to strike Kansas CITY
down. In every direction Chicago has
been successful in killing off rivalry
until st. Paul and Minneapolis, as if by
magic, Sprang beyond its control. Now
that Chicago is concentrating all its
power and energies to deal blow at us,
it becomes all-important that these
two cities stand together. United we
"Ic ouiC W ottuo, utNiucu we may
fall. 1t is Chicago's policy to create di-
vision and arrangement between us. It
is our policy to cultivate friendly rela-
tions and to ally ourselves by a treaty
both offensive and defensive. If mu-
nicipal union should not be the result of
yesterdays action in the chamber of
commerce, it will at least result in
bringing the twins together into a
nearer business communion, and with a
better understanding Of the mutually
of interests which exist. If we are not
to be married, we can at least be be-
trCthed.

A CHURCH BURNED.
The MethOdistChurch at Fremont,
o., DESTROYED by Fire.

FREMONT, O., Feb. 6.-The new Meth
odist church was discovered to be on
fire this afternoon, and an hour later all
that remained were the four walls and
the belfry. The parsonage, which was
just north of the church, was almost
completely demolished by the falling of
the upper portion of the wall. When it
fell three persons were in the house,
and two of them met with serious acct
dents. The injured persons were
named Hannah Day and Joseph
Hunsinger. Miss Day was
servant for Rev. Mr.. Mills, the pastor
of the church. She was packing her
clothes in trunk when the wall fell
and crushed through the roof and sec
Ond floor and caught her under the
debris. 1t took some time to eXtricate
her. Her body and head were fright
fully cut. HunSinger'S shoulder was
dislOcated and his arm broken. The
church was built in 1883 at a cost of
$4,000. 1t contained furniture and fix
lures to the amount of $1,000, and an
organ which cost $4,000. The parson-
age was valued at $1,000. The church
was insured for $4,000. The congrega-
ton is large one, and ex-President
Hayes is member. He contributed
largely to the building and its mainten-
ance,
