SLEEPING IN A COFFIN.
Peaceful Dreams and Quiet Rest
Secured in a Casket.

A man who will choose coffin for
couch may justly lay claim to the badge
of eccentricity, says the Philadelphia
Record. Frankfort possesses such a
man. and his coffin is kept in the loft
over the undertaking establishment of
e. FL. Allen, on one of the principal
streets of that suburb. The coffin is of
extra large size, and is only one of many
similar furnishings which are stored in
the undertaker'S loft. The man who
nightly sleeps in this strange bed is
Familiarity known to the people of the
upon the undertaker's charity, and has
for years done odd jobs around the
place for his board. He has occupied
this coffin ever since he came to Mr..
Aliens, except when his asthma COM
PEELED him to sit up all night. Bob is a
quaint little man of about fifty-three
years, with piercing black eyes and
curling black hair, now fast turning
gray. He comes of one of FrankfOrd's
first families. His father was once the
leading Democratic politician of the
town and an extensive builder. He
built all the original buildings at
FrankfOrd'S arsenal more than half a
century ago. He gave all his children,
brought them up in luxury. The un-
dertaker's shop is what was once the
stable-altered now - of Roberts
father, and part of the very loft in
which he now makes his bed was in his
bOyhOod his pigeOn-hOuSe. A romance
OF love tWines around the life of this
odd little man, with his stopped shout
ders and peculiar ways. His lady love
died many years ago, and poor Bob
often yet repeats, half audibly, some of
the sOnnets of which she was so fond.
1t is thought that Bob never fully re-
covered from the blow caused by her
death, and the workshop of the under
taker has numerous acrOSticS and poems
of Bob's composition stuck up around
its walls. The man is a mathematician
of some pretensiOns and fine penman.
Mr.. Allen has known Bob from bOyhood
and INDUCES his whims.
A visitor to Mr.. Aliens shop one night
found that gentleman seated in his
office. 'COme with me-" said he, TAX
ing up lantern and leading the way
up stairs. land will show you Bob; he
is in his bed now" Following Mr.. Al
len up the steps leading to the loft the
light exposed to the visitor long lows
OF collins ranged around the room. One
OF extra large size lay upon the floor,
wheeling. The lid was we'll drawn up,
and nothing inside could be seen.
''HellO, Bob, are you I'M" said the I'M
dertaker, and the lid began to slide
slowly downward with creaking
sound. A head looked up and then a
man sat upright. 1t was Bob. He
answered Eyes; what do you want?"
and then, seeing the visitor, sank back
again and drew the lid over him. "BOb's
got it little bad tonight said MI. Al
len, alluding to his asthma, and he
pulled down the trap leading to the loft
and left Bob to enjoy his sleep until
morning"

DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS.

1t is understood that the Bricklayers'
union will demand that one of their
number shall be elected to succeed Mr..
Janney as police commissioner.
The Flour City Toboggan club de-
mand a recognition Of their political
services in the police commissioner
election.
1t is reported that the Woman's Suf-
frage society will ask that the new COM
missioner shall be woman.
Now that the merchant tailors have
an exchange it is only right that tailor
should be made police commissioner.
The e. A. II. will probably unite in
an appeal to have veteran of the hate
war appointed police commissioner.
The typographical union will demand
the appointment of q. w. Morey as
police commissioner.
The rumOr that the board of trade

land, and man in the Seventh ward
has acquired neat piece OF real estate
by locating row of tenements upon a
territorial road and has acquired the
right to the ground by reason of Occu-
pancy for five years under the home
stead law. Very likely the same sharp
game has been practiced in other p0r-
tons OF the city.
The evident untruthfnlness of the
Tribune'S circulation boasts was made
peculiarly striking yesterday by the
announcements: "rhere were 1000
Tribunes sold in Minneapolis to-day"
AS this assertion must have. of neces-
slty, been written before the publlca-
ton of the paper, it is conjectured that
the Tribune has employed clairvoyant
as circulation liar.
~ r.
The great block to be erected on the
WaShburn corner, as mentioned in yes
terday'S GLOBE, is to occupy the entire
piece-Or at least that Is the present
calculations. The board of trade has
asked the government to buy strip OF
this piece to give more room to the
growing needs of the postotfice, and it
was understood that Gen. Wash
burn would sell as much as
was desired. 1t now transpfres
that when the board considered the
matter, the property had already been
sold to the loan company. The latter
does not believe the government will
buy more land just now, especially as
the st. Paul appropriation was cut
down. There is now considerable un-
used space on the government property
fifty feet on Third street and about
thirty on First avenue south, but this
was reserved with the view to securing
plenty of light and good driveways.

The Fourth judicial district embraces
the counties of Hennepin, Wright,
AnOla and Isanti, and has four judges.
The Second district has only the county
of Ramsey, but has four judges.
Though Ramsey is smaller than Henne-
pin, yet it has as many judges as the
four counties of the Fourth district.
The reason for this is found in the fact
that Republicans of the Fourth district
have kept Anoka, Wright and
Isanti counties in the dis
trict to keep it Republican.
At the last session of the legislature an
effort was made to cut off the three out
fought in the interests of one or two of
the present occupants of the bench.
The district is too large entirely, and
there is more business than the four
Judges can properly and promptly at
tend to. The number should be in
creased or the district reduced, though
the latter is not possible, as the result
would surely be a Democratic district.

TO HONOR ST. PATRICK
BY Fitting Celebration OF His
Natal Day, March II.

The Irishmen of Minneapolis are pre-
pairing for such an observance of st.
Patrick's day as will forever dissipate
the idea that the celebration of March
II is falling into imnOcuOus desuetude.
Yesterday afternoon delegates from
every local division of the A. o. Ii. met
at Window hall and were called to order
by John P. Fitzgerald, county delegate.
Enthusiastic little talks were made by
prominent Irishmen, and it was unarli-
mously decided to fittingly celebrate
the natal day of lreland's patron saint.
Every Irish organization in Minneap-
oils is expected to participate in the
morning parade and an invitation was
ordered extended to st. Paul, Saltwater.
Anoka and Hastings, asking the socie-
ties there to join in rousing demoll-
stration at Minneapolis. James r.
Corrigan was elected marshal, with
authority to appoint his own assistants,
1t was decided to conclude the day With
banquet at the West, to which prom
inent Celts of the state will be invited.
The feast will follow the parade and
probably continue from to $50 p. m.
The procession, line of march and other
details will be agreed upon by the mar
ShalS and announced later.

VALUE OF MORALITY.
There is No Antagonist Between
1t and Religion.

AT the Grand Opera house yesterday
morning, Rev. Marion d. Shutter
preached on 1.-The Religious Value of
Morality" He said, in substance, that
the distinction that has been made be-
tween morality and religion, so far as it
involves antagOnjsm between them, is
wholly arbitrary. There is no antagon-
ism. Life is one and these, when rightly
understood are its two sides. They are
halves of one grand whole. Religion
without morality is impossible; moral
ity without religion is incomplete.
Morality is that side of life which is
turned towards earth and it's in
terestS, towards our fellow men and
our relations to them; religion is that
side of life which is turned upward.
whose aspirations and desires look TO-
ward the throne of the Eternal. But
life Is one; it cannot be divided. No
theology can cut it in sunder. To say
that the earthward side of life is of no
avail in the sight of God, is to cut out
that part of our text which bids us ''do
justly ana love mercy" The preaching
OF the old prophets, of John, of Jesus,
of the apostles, laid great stress upon
what would now be called mere mo-
rality." The idea that one must believe
IN the VicariOuS sacrifice in order to be
Christian, is constantly taught to-day.
Let us fix once and forever the principle
that responsibility is not transferable.
Let us get that principle firmly in mind.
NO one can eXplate our SONS. No one
can bear the penalty OF our trans
greSSlons. No one can turn his right
eouSneSS over to us or make
us partners in it. Before the laws of
God, written in our souls and bodies, in
the rocks and stars, on the pages of
prophets and apostles, each one stands
for himself, according to his ability.
No man is exempt, no angel is exempt.
''Be not deceived; he that dOeth right
eOusness is righteous" not he to whom
righteousness is imputed, or in some
mystic way impaired. But what of
God? What of Christ? What of faith?
is there room for these? Yes, for all.
Room for God. From the higher to the
lower influences descend to help the
lower up. Streams flow down the
mountain side to the valley, and upward
along the course of the stream grasses
and flowers creep toward the top: so
from God descend the influences that
\ help us up from the valleys to
the mountainous of life. Room
for Christ. We believe that he
was the divinest man who ever
trOd this planet; that he entered into
the mind and heart of God as no one
else has ever done and interpreted that
mind and heart for US. We believe
that He lived and conquered as a man,
and gave us an example and hope.
Inc same throne of grace is accessible
10 US. The same sources of power are
ours. The same victory is possible.
BE OF good cheer; have overcome
the world" That He loves our sins in
any Vlcarious sense we do not believe;

InQuirer-G. A. r stands for Grand
Army of the Republic, not Grand Army

was right about those three men. A few
years ago a man needed their indOrse-
ment to get even nomination, to say
nothing of an election, but now their
Endorsement is as fatal as the indOrSe-
ment of the Union League.

that the influence of His life and death
helps men out of their sins, we believe
with all our heart! Christ is not right
eous for us, but teaches us how to be
righteous and sets us the example.
Room for faith-faith in the central
principle of goodness and progress in
the universe; faith in the immutability
of law; in the certainty that whatso-
ever man soweth that shall he also
reap; that there is no refuge for the
soul in any imaginary haven, in any
robe of another's wearing; that the
only refuge is in turning from sin to
the soul that would be happy must
cease from sin and seek the face of
God. Personal righteousness is the
only salvation.

undertake to throw open both the Min
neapolis and st. Paul museums to the
public. This action will have the
effect, it is apprehended, of
bringing matters to a head, and
will have the effect of compelling

its hand. Kohl & Middleton are eX-
tremely anxious that the question of
proprietOrship and the validity of the
