EYES SHARP AND BRIGHT.
A Conviction Secured by Pretty
Girl Detectives.

DctcCGstCSs
If bright ewes mean sharp ones, Mrs.
Nina Dykman must be a rafting detect
i've. AS she sat in Justice Abell's office,
yesterday, her brilliant black orbs
flashed from witness to attorney, as an
swer followed question, while an occa-
sional nudge of her elbow directed the
attention of her sister to peril
nent points of the testimony.
Emma Bottcher, the sister, is also
detective, and is nearly as bright
and keen-looklng as the other.
They are the only female detectives
known in Minneapolis. The case was
one brought by the state board of
pharmacy against F. Fl. Scofeld,
druggist at Fourth avenue and Twenty
second street, the charge being that in
his store, and without his supervision,
f. E. Dawson, an unregistered clerk,
sold drugs and medicines. The
two girls we're the states witnesses, and
told how they fought squills, spirits
of nitre and other medicamentS on Jan.
IS. Mrs. Dykman produced little
memorandum book, and her white teeth
clicked sharply together as she told
convincing story. The defense was
that the drugs were sold under Mr..
Schofield's supervision. He remem-
bered their having been there,
and remembered snatches of con-
versations, one in particular relating to
Mrs. Dykman's having been connected
with the FantaSma company. 1t was
developed, however, that the two de-
tectives had returned second time and
that it was this visit Mr.. Schofield re-
membered. This came out in rebuttal
faction when Judgment was given by
the court in favor of the state. 1t
seemed clear case and penalty of $50
was levied on the druggist.

ONE OF THE GANG FREE.
The BOY Thieves in Court-The
Criminal Docket.

Criminal Docket.
Walter Underhill was tried yester-
day on the charge of grand larceny in
the second degree and acquitted. I'm
derhill is one of the five mem
bers of the Clarity gang" who
were indicted for robbing the store
of Heath & Kimball on the 9th
of April. Three of this gang, Albert
Center. James Lynch and Henry I'm
derhill, pleaded guilty and are awaiting
sentence, and Otto Trainor has not yet
been arraigned. This Clarity gang"
as they are called, is composed of about
twenty boys, whose ages range from
fifteen to twenty-five years, and who
have been carrying on system of petty
thieving for the last two years. They
disposed of their plumber at what was
Fourth avenue south, between
Washington avenue and Third
street, until a few weeks ago,
when the place was raided by the po-
lice and considerable stolen property
recovered, and Worthingham and sew
eral members of the gang, among whom
was Clarity, the leader, were sent to
states prison.
Samuel Sitter, the third man who was
implicated in the robbery committed at
the house of Mrs. Mary Copley at Rich
field township, changed his plea to
guilty of grand larceny, second degree,
and was sentenced to serve two years
and six months at hard labor in staUe's
prison.
The case of The State VS.. John Mel
son, charged with stealing a span of
horses and bob sled from B. Y. Coffin,
of Champlin, was partially tried before
Judge Searles, and will be resumed this
morning. The states case appears to
be very weak, the evidence being al
most entirely lcumstantiaI.

the Peoples Theater.
The matinee musicale, given at the
Peoples theater yesterday afternoon,
by the advanced pupils of Mrs. Florence
E. Dudley, assisted by Mrs. Robert
Lyle, Prof. Proctor, A. d. Laird and
Walter Lample, was the finest one of
the kind ever given in the city, and
drew out very large audience. The
handsome theater was filled to its ut
most, and each selection was repeatedly
encored. The floral tributes were nu-
merOuS and handsome, each singer COM
ing in for a fair share. Following is
the programme as presented:

One voice in particular attracted much
attention on account of its sweetness
and purity of tone. 1t was that of Miss
Katie Dibb, and showed careful train
ing and great possibilities. Six young
ladies acted as usherS and seated the
large audience without single mis-
take. The toilets of the ladies taking
part in the programme were exquisite,
but in some. cases the effect was spoiled
by the poor light.

ALL SORTS.

The Star-News has an editorial about
"The Nude in Science" What the pub
lie is just now interested in is the Knute

Commissioner Baker says he has
never been asked to deliver the report
of the majority of the board OF police
commissioners. AS a promoter OF Re
publican campaign literature the COM
missioner is an eminent success.
Rev. G. L. Morrill-In his plea for
Sunday theater, Manager Sterling rep
resents class which processes to ele--
vate humanity by the aid of prostituted
beauty, literature, music and art. Time
and experiment in other cities have
proved that a high-minded and moral
stage does not pay in dollars and cents.
Minneapolis may as well look to hell for
holiness as for any mental and moral
good from the Peoples theater on the
Lords day.
Citizens, irrespective of religious con-
victions, yesterday generally expressed
the hope that Father McGOlrick is not
to be made bishop. Not because he
does not deserve the honor, but because
such promotion might result III his
leaving Minneapolis.

Gayety Among the French.

London Truth.
The Irish are the gayest and most I'M
der-fed people in the world save the
Spaniards, who are happy on crust of
bread, an onion, and cup of water.
Goldsmith remarked that the gayety of
the Frenchman was in an in
verse ratio to the weight of
his purse. This is true in our
time as in his. Nothing is more dull,
more formal, more insipid, more inane
than a social evening gathering of
French who usually dine on trente-six
plats. They have no life in themselves,
and have to get bouffe opera singers to
stir them up. And even in laugh
ing at these they are dull. On
the other hand there is always
fun and go among the poor, hard-worked
French 1t is this class which furnishes
priestesses to the laughter-loving god
dess, who sweep here the wealth of the
world to her altar. Mile. Schneider,
Jeanne Granier, Leonide Leblanc,
Theresa, Judic and Milly Meyer all rose
from poverty to opulence.

Relic OF the Museum Wac-Af-
legged Real Estate Fraud-Court
Notes.
A verdict was rendered for the de-
PENDANT in the case of Gaetano Ar Carl
VS.. S. B. Howard. The plaintiff was
hired by the defendant to give exhibit
lions at the Dime museum in knife
throwing and weight lifting for one
week at the agreed price of S75. When
the time for giving the exhibitions ar
rived the museum was closed by the
sheriff Oh a writ of attachment, and the
plaintiff was therefore unable to give
his exhibition although ready ard will
ing to do so. He then sued Howard on
his contract for the SIS, which he was
to have been paid for his services, and
obtained a judgement for the full
amount. The case was then appealed
to the district court and the judgment
reversed as the contract was made out
between j. E. Sackett and the plaintiff
and signed only by the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT.
Ellen III. Brown has begun an action
against Frederick j. Coffey to have a
certain deed of sale of part of lot 1,
| block 4, G. n. Merriam'S addition, de-
clared null and void. The plaintiff
claims to have entered into an agree
ment with the defendant to exchange
the aforesaid lot for other real estate,
and in contemplation of said exchange
signed deed of the lot conveying the
same to the defendant, and delivered it
to George ID. Patterson, who was to give
it to the defendant in exchange
for deed of the property which
he was to convey to the plaintiff.
| 1t is claimed that Patterson
for the purpose of cheating and defraud-
ing the plaintiff delivered the deed to
the defendant without receiving any
consideration for the same, and that the
| defendant had the deed recorded and
now claims to own the property.
The case of Potter & Plachy VS.. The
City of Minneapolis was tried yesterday
before Judge Searles and verdict rem
dered for the defendant. The plaintiffs
sought to recover $3.50 damages on ac-
count of water running into basement
from the street and damaging property
stored therein.

THREATE Ms SUIT.
A Widow Who Will Sue "His
Whiskers'' for Damages.

Whiskers" for Damages.
A middle-aged Irish woman, giving
her name as Mrs. Anna Duffy, yesterday
bore down upon the city hall. She carried
with her a'pint bottle partially filled
with a liquid compound, which she
claimed was prescribed and delivered
to her by DR.. H. B. Sweetser, the as
sistant city physician, for winter chol-
era. The liquid smelled strongly of
carbolic acid, and the woman claimed
that it had ruined her for life" A
GLOBE reporter secured a portion of
the decoction and submitted it
to several physicians for in
spection, who were unanimous
in pronouncing it fair remedy for
winter cholera in certain stages. A call
at 623 Third street south, where the
woman claimed to live, revealed the
fact that no person by that name has
resided there during the past year.
Judging from the woman's talk, she
evidently intends to bring suit against
the city physician or his assistant to re-
cover damages for malpractice, although
it is not apparent upon what grounds
such an action can be based.

which arrived here Tuesday evening.
The lake is now free from ice. and a
number of raft boats will leave this

the breaking of the main st. CrOiX dam,
which will temporarily check the de-
cline now in progress.

side at the election of successor to

AT THE SOLDIERS HOME.
The More Urgent Cases to Receive
Prompt Attention.

Prompt Attention.
Mayor Ames, surgeon, and DR.. Muir
ply, of st. Paul, assistant surgeon, will
probably make an examination of the
inmates of the Soldiers home
this week for the purpose of as
certaining who are physically able
to support themselves during the sum-
mer months. DR.. Ames has received
advices to the effect that there are
nearly fifty old soldiers scattered about
in different charitable institutions
throughout the state who are in need of
medical attention and careful nurs-
ing. 1t is his idea that these
urgent cases should be given as prompt
attention as possible, and with view
to their accommodation, he has sug-
gested that those who are able to make
a livelihood during the summer should
be given a leave of absence. BY Deem
Der the new cottages will be completed,
and then all can be taken care Of.
