SHORT SAYINGS.

Assistant Chief Runge-The streets
are in such terrible shape that it is al
most impossible to get to a fire with our
apparatus. We take the car tracks
when we can, but when we strike side
street we have to go very slow.
Deputy MunicipalCourt Clerk Daley
THAT roast the GLOBE gave Judge Ma
honey was too severe. The judge is as
upright and conscientious man as
there is in the world, and it did him an
injustice.
Henry Downs-My father was nat
uralized before l became of age, SO be-
lieve have right to vote under the
new election law without taking out
papers. 1t would be pretty note if a
man with war record was compelled to
take out papers to become citizen.
Loren Fletcher-Suppose "Fletch'
should be moved by circumstances to go
to his cottage by the sea this summer,
wouldn't there be some very lonesome
politicians left in Minnesota?
Pref. j. S. MOore-While the school
children of Minneapolis are now pay
ing about $500 per head per year for
their text books, the cost would be re-
duced to below 81 if the city should
purchase the books.

LITTLE PILLS COUSIN.
A Minneapolis Police Officer Tells
of His Relationship.


While Minneapolis does not claim as
a resident the woman who nursed
George Washington when he was but
an infant, she does claim that within
her borders dwells second cousin OF
gallant Lieut.. Gen. Phil Sheridan, OF
the United States army, and a man who
has ever seen Little Phil" will see in
Matthew A. Sheridan, special officer at
the first precinct police station, a Strlk-
ing likeness.
Eyes" said Mr.. Sheridan, as he
leaned back in a chair at the station
last evening, Il am second cousin of
Phil Sheridan. He is some fifteen or
twenty years older than l am, however.
Phil's father was John Sheridan, and
his mothers maiden name was Mary
Mooney. They lived in the town of
Killencan, County Cavan, ireland,
while | was born i'll the parish OF Null
leigh, County Cavan, some miles away.
Between the two towns were several
parishes, peopled almost entirely by
Sheridans, all relations of ours. never
saw Phil myself, as his parents left
Ireland before was born, but have
frequently heard my parents speak OF
Mr.. and Mrs Sheridan and of Phil. l
left there some fifteen years ago and
came to this country, and have lived in
Minneapolis about twelve years. / have
heard so much about Phil that | should
like to see him."
Matthew Sheridan is a short, heavy
built man, about thirty-siX or thirty
seven years of age, with handsome
face, covered with heavy, full beard.
The same erect bearing and resolute
look about the eyes, so prominent in
Phil Sheridan, are striking character
istics of Matt Sheridan, and they might
easily be taken for brothers.

Alleged Schemes in the Democratic
C0mmittee---Scheffer's New Organ
Deadly Parallel.

The Democratic county committee
met last night at the Algonquin club
rooms. Though there was nothing of
especial Importance to be transacted,
the rooms were well filled and most of
the party wheelhorses were present.
The committee, appointed two years
ago, is generally known as the Glenn
committee, from the fact that it was APP
pointed by the redoubtable colonel, who
was present last night as spectator.
Absolutely no business was transacted,
for the reason, as one member said,
that ''a scheme was on hand,
and as we didn't understand it we
forced an adjournment" Chairman
Rinehart said motion ''to appoint
subcommittee of five to make the ar
rangements was because the general
committee was too cumbersome, and the
adjournment came while the motion
was pending because the full committee
was not present" Richard Heinrich
said he ''did not know what the motion
meant and he 'voted to adjourn in OF
der to find out" The motion was made
by }. w. Lahiff, who vehemently dis
claimed any Interior motives. When the
committees adjourned, it broke up into
groups and discussed various political
matters, without any intimation that a
row or misunderstanding had occurred.
1t is the prevailing opinion that the first
convention of the party should name
the new county committee, though some
are of the belief that the present COM
mittee should hold until the nominating
convention assemblies
The committee adjourned until Tues
day evening next, when a full attend
ance is requested. Resolutions of re-
greet and respect were adopted, touching
the death of j. K. Side and Harry
GhOstly, both of whom were members
of the committee.

Susan r. Eastman, wife of W. w.

the st. Anthony Water Power company
to determine the title to the strip OF
land around Nicollet island lying be-

claims to have acquired possession OF
tb isi land through a deed made to
r. bv Hercules l.. Dousman, John

in 1857. By this deed the company
obtained shore rights for the purpose OF
building wharves, piers, booms, dams,

land in case it built dam. This strip
of land was considered to be pubic;

REQUIRES FINANCIERING,
But the Ladies of the Northwest
ern Hospital Will Get There.


A meeting of the directors of the
Northwestern hospital was held yester
day afternoon at the residence of Mrs.
Peter Wolford, Jr., SO Tenth street
south, thirty of the directors being
present, and Mrs. l.. Christian acting as
chairman. The object of the gathering
was to discuss the financial situation,
there being a shortage of LOO, $500 of
which is owed for coal used during this
past winter, and the remaining $500 is
charged up to incidental expenses. EX-
cept this debt the institution is in
flOuriShing condition, and it was evident
by the lively interest awakened in the
meeting yesterday. that these ladies will
soon get out of this difficulty, indeed
they unanimously pledged themselves
to raise a certain sum to this beneticent
end in as short time as possible. The
ladies feel little indignant that the
city authorities have ceased sending
charity patients there, as they derived
about $500 yearly from that source
alone, and yet they are burthened with
thirty-two patients WHO are charity ones,
but not sent by the city. That this hos
pital is literally doing all its goodness
for nothing may be judged when it is
stated that there are only six other pa
tients, and all they pay is So week,
which, it must be acknowledged, is only
a nominal sum.
The hearts of the directors were
greatly pleased towards the conclusion
of the meeting, when Mrs. Kimball
arose and read a communication from
W. S. King, stating he would subscribe,
whenever they saw fit to call upon him,
in the sum of $500 to help them defray
this debt, which has troubled them
somewhat the past few months. OF
course the ladies do not expect people
to try and rival the large donation of
Hon. w. S. King, but if every one
should give little, the debt would soon
be paid. There was naturally great
rejoicing over this windfall.

THE USUAL MAJORITY
More a Joke Than Republican
Campaign Methods.

Fl. E. Rawson, once Minneapolitan,
who enjoys the distinction of being the
first Democrat elected mayor of Fergus
Falls, was in the city yesterday busy
shaking hands with old-time friends,
who congratulated him upon his
triumph with cordiality that indicated
the esteem in which he is held. They
tell a good story on Rawson. In the
last campaign he was a candidate for
state senator. He did not expect to be
elected, but said he was going to &C
complish what no Democratic
candidate before him had sue
ceeded in doing he was go
ing to get vote in Norwegian
Grove, a hamlet in which Democratic
vote had never been cast. He found a
man who had nothing in particular to.
do, and paid his board while he resided
in the place sufficient time to acquire
the right to vote. In return, the fellow
was simply required to cast straight,
Democratic ballot. When the returns
came i'll there was the usual solid Re
publican vote, without single Demo
cratic ballot being recorded. Rawson
was furious, but it subsequently deyel-
Oped that his henchman was not to
blame. The ballot was cast, but when
it was discovered the chairman of the
judges of election. holding it before him
as he scrutinized it curiOusly, remarked,
''What do you suppose this is in here
fOr?' and threw it ON the floor. The
usual Republican victory was therefore
recorded.

LAID TO REST.
The Remains Of Edgar w. Will
con Committed TO the Earth.

Inc VI W. w ~
son Committed TO the Earth.
The mortal remains of Edgar w.
Wilson, who died in such melancholy
manner on train while on his way to
this city from California, were laid in
their last resting place yesterday after
noon at Ridgewood cemetery, after the
beautiful burial service that was held
i'm his late residence, 1925 Hawthorne
avenue, had been concluded. The par
lor in which the solemn ceremony for
the dead was performed by Rev. DIR.
u. ]. Burrell, of Westminster church,
was tastefully dressed with immortelles,
roses and other flowers from natures
garden. The esteem and love in which
the departed gentleman was held was
simply testified to by the presence of
MANY local men of note who could hard
ly suppress their pent up feelings, so
touched were they with the pathOs of
their surroundings and the sympathetic
and touching words which fell from DR..
Burrell's lips. Prominent among those
were Postmaster Ankeny, Hon, Eugene
M. Wilson, Judge Lochren, Col. G. d.
Ripley, Ii. G. o. Morrison, and many
others in various walks of life. The
oall-bearers were selected from the
most intimate of the friends of the de-
leased and were as follows: Howell
Dung. Asa Paine, John r. Vanderlip,
=. A. McNair. Fred johnson and Mark
Paine. The funeral cortege was very
,ong one and, in compliment of the sad
occasion, all the houses in the neighbor-
hood were darkened by having their
blinds drawn down or shutters closed.

The three-story wooden building at
3O0S Minnehaha avenue, owned by o. j.
Foss and occupied by several secret So
cieties, was totally destroyed by fire
about O'Clock yesterday morning. The

were fitted up and used as lodge rooms
by the Odd Fellows, Daughters of Re-
becca and Lodge No. 1926, K. of P.

surance of $1,000. The flames started
in the rear Of the building.
