throngs of women she has looked like
the very best of them. Well, about two
years ago Oates worked SWindle In
which he figured as an employer OF tutors
for schools in other cities. He would
advertise for young women to take these
places, and fool them out of deposit
of money. One of the applicants, how
ever, was none other than Jennie Nc
Lean, and instead of leaving Doodle
with Oates, she actually induced him to
lend her $25. This she did by pretend
ing that she would give it back to him
/ in a day or two with 500 more. He was
$50 filled with admiration by her exploit
that he invited her to join him in bust
ness. What freshens up the case just
now is the fact that we have them under
arrest for robbing Allen M. Bur-
ton, as fly a sporting man as
1.-THE city contains. Jennie firted with
him in Broadway, and he mis-
took her for mischievous daughter OF
some swell family. She coyly repealed
his advances for day or two, then per-
mitted him to take her to a restaurant,
and thence she adroltly led him into a
familiar trap. What was it? The po-
lice call it the badger game: Burton
was in room with Jennie. Tim Oates
broke in with tremendous pretense of
wrath, declared himself to be the girls
husband, and reluctantly permitted the
MASKING sport to escape with his life.
1T was not until Burton looked into his
wallet for the $1,000 that had been
there that he realized the truth. ,Jen-
ME had emptied his treasury before
getting rid of him. So | say that it
takes woman to beat man OH his own
ground.'

clusion that Benjamin Harrison has not
four years lease of life. All of which is
nonsense.

BLOWING OUT THE GAS
Not Such an Easy Thing for a
Country man to DO.

Chicago Herald.
Ibid you ever see man blow out
gas?" asked one Clark street business
man of another yesterday morning.
You can't do it, either" he added,
after short pause.
The friend was not so sure about that,
so the twain experimental upon a
flame of gas in the Office of the first
speaker until both were weary. Their
efforts were Intellectual.
every few days we hear that some
jury has returned verdict that this
man or that woman blew out the gas,
jumped into bed and was found dead
sutfocated, you know. There's that
case at the st. Charles hotel yesterday !;
the same story went out about him."
But he was asphyXiat9d by gas"
said the friend.
ITO be sure; but he did not blow it
out, simply and purely because he
couldn't. Pye been on three coroners'
to his heath by gas poisoning. In every
case l found that the man turned Off the
gas and accidentally turned it on again.
Usually the jet is above ones head.
He intends to turn it short off and does
so, but in releasing his hold upon the
key his fingers unconsciousiy give it a
turn to one side. I'ye been accustomed
to the use of gas all my life, but one
night did precisely the same thing
The chandelier was so nigh above my
head that had to tiptoe to reach the
key, which my fourth finger knocked
nearly halfway round after my thumb
and forefinger had shut out the light.
Fortunately, l was not downright
sleepy, and | smelled the escaping gas"
'AWhy are not accidents of this kind
more frequent, them"
THAT is due largely to the fact that
one Is not likely to turn the key back
except it is very loose; one that turns
hard would not be likely to move for
the light tap given it by the fourth and
little fingers. And then many people
have the transoms and windows open,
while others discover their blunder, as
L did, before falling asleep.
Couldn't very we'll find it out after
wards" said the friend at an attempt at
a smile.
Scarcely. In any event. l will not be-
lieve that any man who has sense
enough to travel is such a fool as not to
know that gas must be turned off. But
if he did not know this he couldn't
blow it out if he had the lungs of Goliah

THE PURSE IN POLITICS.

The Winona Herald congratulates the
Democracy of Minnesota Oh the loss of
the state legislature. The cause for
this congratulation is the awfully mixed
up state of affairs in the Republican
party growing out of the senatorial
squabble, and consequently our Winona
contemporary is happy that the Demo-
Gratis are relieved of the unpleasant sit
uation. If our Republican friends are
in hot water, they have no one to blame
for it but themselves. They created
the conditions which make the situation
so uncomfortable for them, and hav-
| ing made their bed, they must lie
| in it. The senatorship is an honorable
| position, to which any man might as
| pire without doing discredIt to himself.
! 1t is, therefore, not from the multi
plicity of senatorial candidates that the
| Republican party suffers so much as it
| is from the methods some of them are
employing to win success. The con-
| fusion in the Republican camp does not
| arise from any uncertainty as to the
| quantity of available senatorial timber,
| but it has its origin in the consciousness
| that we have about reached period in
our state politics when money
| counts for more than merit, and
| if aman's purse is igenough, it doesn't
make so much difference about the
weight Of his brain. There is. an ele-
ment, and very respectable element,
in the Republican party who are OPP
| posed to purse domination in politics, but
| whether they will be strong enough to
stay its power in the approaching sena-
| torial election remains TO be seen. A
seat in the United States senate is
tempting bait for the corporation man
ayers, and as long as the senatorship is
considered merchantable commodity
they are apt to bid high for it. Still it
| does seem that there ought to be virtue
enough in the masses of the people to
hold the standard of official qualifica-
ton down to the old-time test of hon.
esty and capacity.

INGERsoLL's LIBERALITY.

A correspondent who seems to hold a
grudge against COL ROBERT G. NIGER
SOIL, writes the GLOBE lengthy COM
munication, in which the venerable
sinner is handled without gloves. While
the GLOBE has more faith than Col.
INGERsoLL, and is decidedly more
orthodox, it does not propose to create
an issue with that gentleman, and as
religious discussion is not in the line OF
secular newspaper, we decline to
print the communication. Our CORES
pondent, however, makes one point
against the distinguished infidel which
in all fairness deserves TO be answered.
lie says: 'Col. INGERSoLL was never
known to speak kindly of a minister
OF the Gospel, no matter how
good a man the clergyman may
have BEEN" This is unjust to Col.
INGERsoLL. There was Methodist
clergyman living in Pittsburg some
years ago, between whom and Col. IN
GERsoLL there was an intimate personal
friendship of long standing. He was
the Rev. ALEXANDER CLARK, and was
accustomed to visit Col. INGERsoLL at
his Peoria home. When he died, some
eight Or ten years ago, Col. lNGERsoLL
wrote a touching obituary of the de-
ceased clergyman, in which he said:
UTTERLY destitute of cold, dogmatlc
pride. that often passes for the love
Of God, this eminent man made me
his friend by being mine. Giving
freely to others the rights that he
claimed for himself, it never occurred
to him that his God hated an honest UNI
believer. He remembered that even an
infidel has rights that love respects; that
hatred has no saving power, and that III
order TO be Christian it is not neces-
sary to become less than man. He
knew that no one can be maligned into
kindness; that epithetS cannot con-
vince; that curses are not arguments;
and that the fingerof scorn never points
toward heaven. For this man enter
tanned the profoundest respect. Ten
der. just and loving, where others were
harsh, yindictive and cruel, he chal-
lenged the admiration of every honest
man." 1t is said that the Devil can
quote Scripture as readily as parson.
Thus it will be seen that though all i'll
fidel, Col. INGERsoLL can preach a SER
mon that would do credit to the best of
clergymen.

THE MONTREAL CARNIVAL.

The GLOBE has received polite invi-
tation from the Montreal carnival man
ayers to attend their ice palace show,
which we are compelled to decline, be-
cause we expect similar enjoyments at
home, and on bigger scale. Montreal
has one advantage, and only one, over
st. Paul as an ice palace city. There
they are always sure of an abundance
of ice and snow, while here in this salu-
brious winter climate we have to take
chances on it. The Montreal carnival
begins the 4th of February and continues
until the 9th. AS matter of interest
to our home people we recapitulate
the attractions which our Montreal
friends advertise as the features of
their coming carnival. First. there is a
translucent ice palace. covering half an
acre of ground, inciosing a skating
rink, curling rink and promenades, and
containing numerous rooms devoted to
special purposes. This palace will be
defended by the Garrison Artillery, of
Montreal, and will be assaulted and
carried by an army of picturesquely
costumed snovshoers. Then there will
be snowshoe tramps at night, the SNOW
shoers carrying blazing hambeaus, max
ing a weird and startling scene. There
will be toboggan slides, masquerade
skating carnival, the fancy drive, veri-
table midwinter Mardi Gras, on runners
and under robes, an ice railway, trains
actually carrying passengers on reg
ularly constructed track Oh the frozen
bosom of the st. Lawrence river. These,
in addition to the usual championship
matches, make up the principal feat
ures of the Montreal carnival. Some
of them have been seen here and some
have not. Mention of them will be val
liable to our carnival managers, so that
they can be prepared to see our Mon
treal friends one better in the makeup
of programme for carnival show. 1t
is probable we will have to import our
ice from Montreal for an ice palace this
winter, but we can do that and yet give
the best show,

BILLY DROPPED A CHECK.

One of the Disadvantages of Be-
ing a Devoted Husband.
Chicago Herald.
A young married man up On the
South side, who is now obliged to do
second work. in his household On ac-
count of the recent desertion of that
weak uncertainty known as the ''hired
girl" was commissioned by his wife
the cook-Monday morning to return in
the evening with a dozen fresh rolls
and one Of those gigantic loaves of
bread built in the design of an obeliSk.
Just before he boarded the car he
purchased the required quantity OF the
staff of life. Vainly he tried to con-
ceal the evidences of his purchase
within the recesses of his spring over
coat, when he saw in the car three
young and pretty ladies, each of whom
he had smiled upon in his bachelor
days. He corralled his awkward bun
dies with one arm and attempted to po-
litely doff his ha, in returning their
salutations, when, to his dismay. the
obelisk bread slipped from its paper
good grace born of despair he recovered
it, replaced it in its pod, and
sank into vacant seat. But all
was not vet over. In his efforts to rein
state the bread the mouth of the paper
bag had yawned, aud, as he sat down,
one of the rolls fell to the floor. He
hastily screwed up the mouth of the
bag, affecting not to notice the fall in
breadstuffs, but cruel young bachelor
friend of his, sitting opposite, fiend-
ishly indicated the roll with his fore
finger and said, in an unnecessarily
loud tone of voice: You dropped a
check, Billy" There was no help for
it. He had to pick it up and thank a
man whom he could have killed. Then
he buried himself in an evening paper,
and when he got home he told his wife,
''Never again."
