FOUGHT LIKE A TIGRESS.
A Row at Market Hall in Which
q Woman Whips Four Men.

One of the fiercest fights that has Oc-
Cured in st. Paul for long time took
place at Market hall last midnight. The
three old men taking tickets at the door
seemed entirely too exacting, and one or
two little broils occurred there, resulting
always in favor of the people coming
in. Finally, a well known man about
town appeared with lady and.two tick
cts were passed to the head ticket. .taker
unnoticed by ticket taker No. 2. He
stopped the couple and demanded en-
trance fee, and they protested that they
had paid ,and appealed to ticket taker No.
/. A GLOBE reporter standing by had
witnessed the transaction, and was sur
prised to hear him say they had not pre-
sented tickets. This enraged the
gentleman, and he appealed to two
friends who we're near, and they at
tempted to explain. The ticket takers
would listen to no explanation, and the
row began. Several men at
tempted to push the gentleman
away, and roughly handled the
lady. This enraged her escort,
and naturally he defended her. The
others rushed to his rescue, and in an
instant the entire mob was pitted
against the four. The lady fought like
a tigress, and four men measured their
lengths on the floor before she finished.
A free fight followed. Men struck
blindly, and they were falling on all
sides, down stairs and in corners.
Officer Cornick heard the noise,
and in a few rapid strides reached
the scene. ''Out of the way" he yelled
and the crowd melted like chip from
the ice palace. There were more broken
noses and bruised faces at the ball last
night than have been seen there for
many a night. Officer COrnick acted
like whirlwind, and accomplished a
cyclonic result. The fight amounted to
little less than a riot.

Conceal Els Lack of Wisdom.
LONDON, April 11.-Prof. John Tyn-
dali in an article in the Union says:
''Mr. Gladstone, with his capacity for
verbiage, fails to conceal his lack of
wisdom. The Liberals know it, yet fol-
low him in a course of deadly peril to
the nation-a course resolved upon
without retraction or counsel or con-
troll from the Liberal party. The bulk
of the party double back upon their own
steps and forswear their old aims, not
content with running dog-like after a
leader who thinks too meanly of them
to even consult them. They turn and
rend the very flower of the Liberal
flock, some of whom were Liberals
of the soundest fibre at time when
Gladstone, quite as confident of his
own infallibility then as now, was in
dustriously weaving the shoddy of used
up tOryism. 1t is consolation to know
that Mr.. Gladstone is unlikely to again
be in power. He has already done his
utmost to ruin the country, which
ought to recollect the words of Carlyle
"A minister who is wicked enough to
propose to >ever Ireland from England
deserves to have his head brought to
the block"
