STUDYING ASTRONOMY.
Clerk Prendergast's Dilemma in a
Pullman Car.

Chief Clark, City Clerk Prendergast
and Alderman YOerg returned yeSter-
dav after a weeks hunting "trip in
Northern Dakota. They had no game
with them. and from the appearance of
their clothes, which were neat and tidy,
the birds must have enjoyed their visit.
1t is not generally known that Tom
Prendergast is quite skilled in aStrOnOm-
zeal matters and it is no uncommon
thing for him, when troubled with
insomnia, to arise from his
comfortable bed, go out into
the night and revel in the heavenly
bodies. On the way down to st. Paul
Tom couldn't sleep. He tossed and
rolled in his bunk in the Pullman car,
but his eyes refused to close. 1t was a
nice moonlight night and fair Luna
looking down through the window
beckoned him to come and WOO the
twlnkling stars. In litfy Tom was
out on the platform, and was glad when
the door closed behind him, shutting
him off from the SHORES of his COM
radeS.
The door had a spring lock, however,
and when Tom got tired of peering into
space he tried to return to his berth
again. but the door was hard
and fast He tried the door of the ear
next behind. but it, too, was locked.
He commenced yelling at the top of
his lungs. but his voice came
back to him in hollow mOckery.
| Tom would have given 81 ,0O0 for pair of
pants, $500 for coat and $3.50 for vest
at this time. but these articles were not
forthcoming. 60 there he stood cursing
/ his luck and berating those fellows who
said they couldn't sleep in a Pullman.
After two hours of waiting and watch
ing. which seemed like two years, and
lust as the train was pulling into Brain
erd at $50 Il. H.. the porter espied him.
and he was released from his unpleas-
ant Drpdicament,

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Displays a Pass Instead of a
Ticket

Judges of election were swore in yes
terday with the exception of those of
the Sec nd precinct of the Seventh
ward, who will be sworn in and take
charge of their books to-day. No formal
meeting of the judges will be held be-
fore they assume their duties, but dur
ing the next week they will convene in
Market hall.
A meeting of the Eighth Ward
Cleveland and Thurman club was held
at Brandt's hall last evening. w. ID.
Ryan was elected captain OF the club
>and James Dowlan quartermaster. L..
A.. Normandin was unanimously in
ilorsed as caDdidate for the leglsia-
ture, and a committee was appointed to
secure united action with the other
Democratic clubs of the Seventh and
Eighth wards. Alexander Adams, can
didate for the legislature OF the coun-
try district, addressed the meeting.
Hon. Hans MattsOn, secretary of state,
returned yesterday from an extended
campaign tour through New York. Con-
necticut and Massachusetts. Next week
Mr.. Mattson will commence to stump
Minnesota.
ID. S. Hall, the Republican nominee
for congressional honOrS in the Third
district, seems disincined to indOrSe to
the letter the provisions of the inter-
state commerce law. On the trains he
always pulls out railway pass instead
of the regulation ticket.

peal.
The last days session of the Presby-
terrain synod was an interesting and in
some respects turbulent one, the case
of Rev. Dr.. West coming up before the
body again and causing considerable
discussion. The matter was brought up
by the report of the judicial committee,
which recommended that the appeal of
DR.. West be considered. The merits of
the case were presented by S. NJ. Camp
bell, ID. D., Rev. ID. l.. Kiehle and Elder
). }. X. Mcmillan, on behalf of the st.
Paul pres5ytery, and DR.. West in his
own behalf, assisted by Rev. DR.. Ring
land, of Duluth. The case was opened
by an objection from Mr.. Mcmillan to
the adoption of the judicial committees
report, on the ground that DR.. Vests
appeal was not presented be-
Ond days session of the present
conference, in accordance with PreSby
terrain law, and also because the appeal
was not made out in proper form and
was signed by typewriter. The discus
sion of the technicalitieS thus brought
about consumed the greater part of the
evenings session. Several speeches
were made advocating the consideration
of the case without reference to these
fine points of law. The spirit of the
synod was against the case of DR.. West,
and it was decided to cOnfIe the trial to
the strict letter of the law. The mOder-
atOr ruled that the appeal was not made
within the time prescribed by law, and
was sustained by the synod, DR.. West
appealing from his decision. During
the afternoon session the matter of the
adoption of the committees report was
brought before the body, and by vote
of l6 to 4 it was accepted. This
virtually closed the case so far
as the Minnesota synod was
concerned, but DIR. West gave notice of
an appeal to the general assembly,
which will meet in New York City next
May, claiming that he had not been
properly treated, and could not get
justice in the Minnesota synod. Be
fore the final adjournment he moved to
amend the minutes in certain particu-
lars relating to his case, claiming that
as the record stood he had nothing to
show before the general assembly con-
corning his treatment by the synod.
The amendment to the minutes was
voted down..
Tie remainder of the session was
taken up with reports of committees,
officers and other routine business.
Previous to the final adjournment at 6
o'clock, the First Presbyterian church
at Minneapolis was selected as the next
place of meeting.

were presented and adopted:
Resolved, That we greatly deplore the sad
event of the death of our respected and es-
teemed fellow member of the bar, Howard
Harold Cleveland:
That we recognize in him one whose

honorable department, ability and fidelity as
member of our bar highly commended him
and gave promise of conspicuous emlnence
in his profession.
Resolved. That we tender to his bereaved
parents our heartfelt sympathy and conf
dence.
Resolved, That we attend in a body his fu-
neral, and that a copy of these resolutions
and accompanying memorial be transmitted

THE MEMORIAL.
Howard Harold Cleveland, member of the
Ramsey county bar, only son of John r.
Cleveland and Theodoria Cleveland, long
and esteemed residents of st. Paul, was born
June L, 1859, and died in this city on the
18th of October, 1888. He was member OF
the First Baptist church of the city, He was
graduate of the High school of this city,
where he was repeatedly on the roll of honor
for scholarship and finished his studies in
three years course. He afterwards went to
the city of New York to prosecute the study
of the law, entering the Office there of Judge
Dillon. He also entered the law department
of Columbia college and graduated May II.
1882, being among the few of his class who
received an honorary degree. In the fall
of 1882 he was in the law Office of Henry
j. Horn, where he further pursued his
studies, and initiated himself in the practice
of his profession, and was admitted to prac-
ice the same year in the circuit court of the
United States. He opened an Office in 80.
and commenced an active and successful
career i'll his profession, and soon obtained
reputation which he well deserved and fairly
won. In his youth and manhood he was
conscientious and laborious student, an
earnest and devoted Christian, dutiful and
loving son, pure in his character and honor
able and upright in his profession and in
business. He gave promise of eminence IN
our profession, and his name is added 10 the
honorable names of our bar. We greatly de-
plOre our loss and would mingie our SORROW
with that more sacred grief of his bereaVed
parents.

FIVE YEARS RESIDENCE.
Changes Suggested in the Law
Regarding County Officials.

State Auditor Braden recently re-
eeived a communication from a
county official inquiring if can
didate, two years a resident in
the state, was eligible for cleo
ton to one of the county offices. Capt.
Braden replied he was, and expressed
the opinion that the law should be
altered. ut was only natural" he said,
''when the state was newly settled that
its laws should permit emigrantS to take
office within a comparatively short
period after their arrival-two years then
were long enough. When a state is
Young you do not want to cripple its
growth by unnecessary legislation; but
things are different now. People have
flocked into the state, and there are capa-
bic citizens enough to manage its govern
ment who are long residents within its
territory, and the least that can be eX-
peeted of candidates for office is that
they should be residents of five years
standing. 1t will take many of them
that time to become acquainted with
the laws of the country and state and
make them thoroughly conversant with
the customs of the people,"
