"A Leap Year Event.

One of the pleasantest events of the
season, especially to the gentlemen,
took place at Malcolm's Dancing hall
last evening. The affair was a leap
year party given under the auspi-
ces of the young and charm
ing lady clerks at DonaldsOn's
store at the corner of NicOllet and Sixth
street. The ladies performed all the
usual hOnOrs or duties that the gentle
men have had to look after in the past,
and will undoubtedly in the future. With
a few exceptions, the gentlemen were
escorted from their respective homes
in carriages to the ball room, where
they were entertained in delightful
manner. 1t is needless to say that the
popular young men had their pro-
grammeS filled out in the early part of
the evening. and the young and re-
fined gentlemen enjoyed the evening
by holding dowu the chairs and watch
ing their fellow chums promenade about
the ball room. Among the many ladies
present with gentlemen were: Mamie
Alden, Emily HOrr, Mary Berette,
Mamie Walher, Rena RogerSon, Fannie
Van DevOrt, Fanny Higgins, Julia
Sheehy, Sadie Hyned, Mary Herman,
Amelia Pooh, Edith Bird, Rossie Nc
Carthy, Kate Morris.

A Negro Exodus.

= CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 25.--Colored
people. here are much stirred upover
the report of the formation of an exodus
association in Topeka for the colonfza-
tion in South America. Fuel has been
added to the flame by an article pub
IiShed in the News and Courier yester'-
day warning negroes that there, is
danger of their being sold into slavery
if they go to South America. The article
says: ''Slaves sell in the market in
Brazil for about $500. 1t is intimated
that hundreds of thousands of colored
people will join the exodus, and that
the exodus association represents a
capital of $2.OOO,OOO. If 100000 colored
people join the exodus, and if these
emigrantS are sold at an average Wrice
of $500 a head. the exodus association
would make $Ss, 100000 OH its original
investment A good many negroes
here have read the newspapers, and this
article has created sensation. 1T is
rumored that agents of the alleged asso-
citation are already here, and are in con-
sultation with some of the colcred
preachers.

a WATER SHORTAGE.
Some of the Mills Being Operated
BY Steam.

In its issue to-day the Northwestern
Miller will say:
The mills using water as motive
power, what few of them there are,
probably never had worse experience
than during the past week. While the
head of water has averaged compare
lively high, it has most of the time con-
tanned large quantities of floating ice.
and the mills able to do much with this
branch of power have been exceptions.
The weeks flour output, however,
thanks to the large use of steam. was
not allowed to fall off much. being
1900 barrelS-averaging 15,767 barrels
daily-againSt $4,000 barrels the week
before. and 10000 barrels for the corre-
spending time in 1887. Fully as much
trouble has been experienced from
ice since Monday as during the
three closing days of last week.
Three or four men have been loosen
ing ice above the West side canal,
and were able to displace much more
than the water mills could take care of.
BY this morning the canal was virtu-
ally full of ice and the mills on its bor-
derS trying to run with water were, for
time, completely chOked Off. Some of
this ice, however, was soon Sluiced off.
and few of the mills situated well to-
ward the head of the canal resumed
work, though still hindered by ice. On
account of the trouble from ice, the wa
ter mills ran very irregularly, stops
being frequent. There were thirteen
mills in operation this noon, and they
We're probably running at l6,OOe-barrel
gait, but would not average that. One
steam mill has shut down, to be idle the
rest of the week. and two have started
up. This leaves seven that are employ
ing steam. In some cases the mills have
found more or less difficulty about get
ting coal TO use. Lower wheat markets
have caused -four to decline and become
extremely dull. Exceptional millers,
however, claim to be yet selling a good
deal, and it is admitted that liberal
lines of patents have been within few
days disposed of in New England at S.
per barrel. The direct flour exports for
the week were $500 barrels, against
$1,000 barrels the week before.

The SOCIAL WHIRL.
Hebrew Ladies' Enjoy Themselves for
Charity's Sake.
ONE EVENINGS GAYETY
The Leap Year Style Railway EN-
ployes' Ball--Society in Every
Grade.

Charity was the object of the Ladies'
Benevolent society at their grand ball,
which took place at Harmonic hall last
evening. The event surpassed any that
has been given for many day in the
gay Hebrew circles of Minneapolis. The
party was all that could be desired in
the way of select and cOngnnial gath
ering, and every one entered into the
dancing with spirit that assured
pleasant and brilliant event. Long be-
fore the time set for the dancing to be-
gin, carriage after carriage discharged
its occupants at the door of the beauti
fully Illuminated hall. AT precisely
$50 o'clock the grand march be-
gan to the delightful music of Danz's
full orchestra. From that time on
1t was waltz, polka, schottische, etc.,un-
TIL late hour in the morning. The
display of costumes was very fine, and
in some instances simply elegant. The
rich and varied tints of the ladies' toll
cts, together with the corsage bouquets,
made very beautiful and striking APP
Pearance as the couples glided about
the ball room. There were many
handsome and charming faces to be seen
among the dancers, and artistic com
blnatlOnS of rich fabrics and bouquets
served to set off the feminine charms.
There were not the usual number of
''wall-f1OwerS' that have characterized
many of the balls of late, for
everybody seemed to find partners
readily. In the early part of the even
ing, during the time the guests were
arriving, grand concert was rendered
in a very creditable manner by DanZ'S
orchestra, which met with the approval
of all.
Among few of the ladies whose
toilets and ornaments were especially
worth of mention were:
Mrs. j. De Youngstown surah silk,
cOrsage bouquet, diamond ornaments.
Miss Bessie ZiZzerman-White satin,
sleeveless. bouquet and ornaments of
diamonds.
Miss Bertha Gilawski, of Milwaukee
White surah silk, cOrsage bouquet and
diamond ornaments.
Among the many gentlemen present
with ladies were John DeYOung, A. j.
Marks, II. Abraham, Joe Nicolas, Isias
Rosenfield, the Messrs. Buchanan,
Herman Rothschild, Max Wolf, Albert
Nicholas, III. Stein, Sam Rothschild,

PROHIBITION A FAILURE.
Startling Revelations in the Colo
Water Town Of Portland, Me.

WdCcf 1OWn Ol fOrCIanO, Me.
PORTLAND, Me-, Jan. 25.-The start
ling revelations of Rev. MI. Bayley, in
his prohibition sermon a week ago,
has created great interest here, where
for years efforts have been made to
show that there is as little drunkenness
here as there is in any city in the cOun-
try. MIR. Bayley said that the records
showed more drunkenness here than
ever, and gave plenty of instances and
figures to confirm his allegations. The
municipal authorities at once began to
make an investigation. Mayor Chap
man spent two or three days in gather
Ing material to refute the charges. Mr..
Bayley said that there was drunken
ness in the primary and kindergarten
schools, and the authorities visited all
of them, giving the results of their in
vestigations to the newspapers. Lead
ing temperance men wrote cOmmunica-
tions to the papers, and T. G. Wood
bury, a prominent advocate, said that
after long trial prohibition was
failure, and that people here had better
be about something else than trying to
make it successful. Yesterday interest
was renewed when the Portland police
were called upon to remove Johnny
boy, from the Center street primary
school. He was so drunk that the
teacher had to have him removed, and
when he reached the station he sank
into deep rum sleep. On awakening
he was stupified and did not know the
day it was. The previous night the
Portland school committee had passed
resolutions that there was no drunken
ness in the public schools.

Jacob H. Side was one of the pio-
neerS of Minneapolis and-waS one Ofthe
few of the city's men of wealth who
brought capital here. He was born at
Dillsbury, York county, Pa, in 1921 and
was 67 years of age. With his brother.
H. q. Side, he was engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits at Dillsbury and removed
firm of Sidle. Wolford Il Co. was soon
after organized, and in 1868 the
first charter for national
bank in Minneapolis was Sc
secured. The career of the bank and
of Mr.. Side personally have been sin
gularly successful and he was reported
to be worth something above 81 .OeO, 900.
Many of the foremost enterprises of the
city were aided by his money and i'll
tluence. He was prominent III the
movement which organized the Mime
apOlis & st. LOUIS railroad and was also
largely interested in the 500
system. The Minnesota Linseed Oil
company and the le-Fietcher-Holmes
Milling company were among the many
enterprises with which he was con-
nected. Politically he was Democrat,
but of late years he has taken little in
tereSt in local politics. Mr.. Sidle leaves
wife and five daughters to mourn his
loss. The daughters are all married ey-
cept one, Miss COrdelia Sidle, and are:
Mrs. }. w. Lawrence, Mrs. f. G. Elfult
and Mrs. w. NJ. Regan, of this city, and
Mrs. c. E. Bliss, OF. Aberdeen. They are

THE BANK TESTIMONIAL.
Testimonial adopted by the banks.
members of the Minneapolis Clearing
House association:
In view of our common bereavement
by the death Of Jacob X. Sidle, president
of the First National Bank of Mime
apolis Jan. p, 1887. the Minneapolis
Clearing House association submits the
following brief testimonial of his char
acter and usefulness as a banker and
citizen. For more than thirty years he
has been identified with the banking
and business interests of our city. He
came here in its infancy and cast his lot
with the city of his choice, and
from small beginnings has borne
his part in developing it to its
present proportions. He was a man of
rare and conservative judgment, who
has helped build up many of our most
successful business enterprises. In
him the banks have lost an associate.
who, by his wise counsel and indomita-
bic perseverance and industry has done
much to extend their usefulness to the
city and state. The business commu-
nifty has lost a friend, who, by his
money, wise counsel, conservative
Judgment and great common sense. was
ready to help every legitimate business
enterprise. As friend he was faithful
and true. As a companion he was
genial and pleasant. As citizen he was
loyal to his city and state. To the fam
lily of our late associate we desire to ey-
tend our tenderest sympathy and con-
ISOLATION.
Be it resolved, that the banks of this
association close at p. IN. Friday, the
hour of the funeral, and that the mem
berS of this association attend the
funeral in body, and that a copy of
these resolutions be sent to the family
of the dec ased and also published in
the papers of Minneapolis and st. Paul.
