w. II. Davis. ,Jr., formerly Of Cincin-
natl, O., but now resident of Ashland,
Wis, was in the city yesterday. Not
outstanding the fact that he comes OF
race of lifelong Republicans, MI.
Davis is an out and out Democrat, and
backed his opinion on Cleveland'S aoll-
ity to win in a most substantial manner.
He is greatly pleased with the North
west. and from his position as manager
of the Ashland Iron ana oteel
works, has had abundant oppor-
tunity to become intimately ae-
ouainted with its wonderful resources.
Notwithstanding the fact that MIR. DAVIS
has lived in Ashland for over year.
This is his first visit to the Twin Cities,
and before he took the train for home
last evening he made himself solid with
the lrabitueS of the Ryan, by lnStItutlng
comparisons between the two cities:
Headeclared that Minneapolis looked
like a mushroom which had sprung up
in night, while the capital of the state
possessed all the accessories OF large
Eastern city.

"The demand for cigarettes is greatly
decreasing" remarked tohaceonist
last evening, as he threw Canadian
quarter in the drawer and showed I'VE
cigars across the counter. "HoW do
account for it? Why, by universal con-
dempation of the article. The trade,
there is but little profit in the goods.
and a great risk is involved in carrying
them, for they are very apt to become
dry and unSaleable.'
-
This is the season of the year when
the ladies come in to get their SealSkln
sacques which have been stored for the
summer" remarked q prominent FUR
rier. Sealskin SacqueS which have
been dyed-and most of them arc-for
the undyed are very costly. are totally
safe from the ravageS OF moths. for the
dive acts as a poison, and they will never
attack seal which has been thus treated.
But the ladies, in the innocence OF their
hearts, do not know this. and bring
their garments to us to take care OF.
We do not treat them at all, but
simply hang them on hooks for an i'll
definite period, and without any care OF
attention on our part they sleep the
sleep of the just during the summer
months, and we charge a good round
sum for their keeping" And with a
sardOnic smile the dealer turned TO a
customer and blandIv assured her that
plucked otter was infinitely superior to
the unplucked article. which was at the
time conspicuous for its absence from
his wplI-Stnckp1 shelves.
''The graphophone will never be-
come popular with lovers" remarked
Ignatins DonneIly Yesterday, for the
reason that budding SentimentaliStS,
however anxious they might be to hear
the loved ones voice, would hardly like
to trust to the chance publicity with
which the venture might be tluged.
Love is most estimable thing in its
way, but one hardly likes TO confide his
amatory speeches to such all Interprc-
ter. And III the political world, too, |
fancy that many embaraSSmentS might
result from its indiScriminate use, and
many undetermined methods brought to
light thereby

''The heighth of disappointment" was
recently experienced by a young man
of this city, prominent as member of
large retail dry goods house. Being
bent upon taking a good days hunt,
and on Sunday, too, he called at the
house of friend and asked for the loan
of a gun for a few days sport, such as
he hoped to find somewhere in the
vicinity of Lake Elmo. He secured the
gun, and amid the good wishes his
friend showered upon him, and the
bright prospects for an eXkilerating
tramp through the wilds of Elmo i'll
search of the wary duck, he wendell his
way homeward. This was Friday
night. Saturday evening after his day
work was done he hastily repaired to
started past haste for the train. After
breaking all previous records climb
ing over people down Third street
with his accoutrements dangling all
about him. he reached the gate of the
union depot just in time to come too late,
and to be informed that the train, due
to change in the time schedule, had
left an hour before, and that the next
train would leave Sunday morning.
After deciding that he would take the
Sunday morning train and still enjoy
part of his hunt, he walked to where
the loudest cab-driver bawled forth the
nature Of his business and rode home.
-
The next morning, and, as he thought
in time, he started down town, and
reached the depot only to be informed
that the train had been taken Off, but
that there would be one at 2 o'clock

his trials with beverage and cheroot il

waited unilt half an hour before trair
time, and then got there with ali foul
feet" Once Oh board the train he was
soon on Elmo's sandy shore, and, estab
