BISHOP FOSS.

1t is not only the Methodist commu-
nifty who will regret the removal of
Bishop Foss from Minneapolis to Phila-
deiphia, but his departure will be la
mented by all the people of the North
west, without regard to ecclesiastical
distinction. During his eight years
residence in our sister city, Bishop Foss
had identified himself with the interests
and with the people of this section in
such way as to give his departure from
our midst at this time the force of a
public calamity. Still, the good bishop
has sOwn an immense deal of good seed
in the fruitful ground which he found
here in he Northwest, which is grow
ing and rapidly ripening into an album
dant harvest. He carries with him to
his new home the love of his own people
and the afTectionate regards of the en-
tire community.

The Spanish Consul at Quebec
Takes His Own Life.

QUEBEC, Oct. 17.-Count de Premio-

pie and a seYen-chambered revolver,
with one chamber empty, by his side.

The only other inmate of the house was
the counts servant. At about $50 this
morning the servant was startled by the
report of a pistol shot, and FASTENED
down stairs, and. to her horror,
found the count struggling in death.
Count Gle Premio-Real was much re-
spected in the social circles of Quebec.
In domestic life he was extravagant and
reckless. His income was limited,
while his expenditure was unlimited.
He spent great deal of money in
building property. He became finan-
cially embarrassed and at times APP
peared worried and disheartened. The
English mail of yesterday brought him
him several letters, what the contents
were no one knows. Recent political
changes in Spain were to make neceS-
sary several changes in consulates in
ports of Canada. The counts successor,
Senior Drief, is in town.

There never was grandma half so good ~
He whispered, while beside her chair he
stood,
And laid his rosy cheek,
With manner very meek
Against her dear old face In loving mood,
There never was a nicer grandma born;
/ know some little boys must be forlorn
Because they've none like YOU;
l wonder what Id do
without a grandmas kisses night and morn
There never was dearer g-.ndma-there -
He kissed her and he smoothed her snow
white hair
Then fixed her ruffled cap
And nestled in her lap,
While grandma, smiling, rocked her old arm
chair!
w hen I'm man, what lots to you III bring;
A horse and carriage and watch and ring,
And grandmas are SO NIGEL
DUST here he kissed her twice)
And grandnias give Il boy most anything"
Before his dear old grandma could reply,
This boy looked up and, with a roguish eye,
Then whispered in her ear.
That nobody might hear,
"Say, grandma, have you any more mince
pie!"

SWALLOWING HIMSELF.

Among the many amusing incidents
of the state campaign there is none fun
nier than to see our old friend. Gen.
JIM BAKER, attacking the Democrats on
their tariff record. Remembering, as
we do, that the general has long been
noted as one of the most aggressive
free trade apostles in Minnesota, 1t
would make wooden Indian laugh to
witness his QuiXOtic crusade in behalf
of "the American system of protection"
Gen. BAKER is slick one, and if any
body can do the double-tumble act he
can. We must do him the justice to say
that he performs the feat of swallowing
himself in more graceful style than
Gen. Coles attempt in the same direc-
ton. Possibly it is because there is
less of him. The generals Buffalo
speech was an exceedingly clever par
tisan effort. and when the election is
over and everything gets settled down
to a tariff reform basis. we expect to
hear Gen. BAKER tear his own speech
to pieces in more effective style than he
riddied the Mills bill.

WADENA, Mimi, Oct. 17.-Dr. Bert
Robertson, of Graceyille, addressed an
enthusiastic audience at this place this
evening. The points made by the

He stated that the Republican
party had placed a golden calf at the
head of the party in this state; that
Merriam had secured his nomination in
the most shameful manner; and that
every conscientious Republican owed it
to himself and his party to vote
for E. NJ. Wilson. His remarks were
repeatedly cheefed. The people in this
vicinity are alive to the issues of the
campaign, and will vote for Cleveland,
Wilson and reform.

Cardinal Towards Mind Is En-

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Cardinal Howard
was conveyed yesterday from the pri-
vate madhOuse in st. Johns Wood.
where he has been confined, to a better
asylum for the winter, situated near
Brighton. The cardinal was seized with
madness last December. He has had
frequent lucid intervals, in which his
grief and despair have been highly
pathetic. He is now crazy all the while
and the cerebral affection is hopeless.
He looks the picture of health, save for
wild glance in the eyes. His mania
almost steadily is that he is a captain in
the horse guards, which he was before
he took orders, and his language now is
better adapted to the mess room than to
a monastery.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 17.-An official ac-
count of the death of Maj. Bartellot has

ing particulars: BartellOt had become
excessively annoyed at the din caused
by the Manyemas attached to the ex-
pedition in the capacity Of porters,
ETC., practicing singing and drum
ming at early hours in the morning
and late hours in the evening. On the
temptS of Capt. Benny to disSuade him
he proceeded alone to tent
whence came the sounds of drumming.
Shortly afterward shot was heard, and
Bartellot's body was found in front of
the tent with bullet hole in his breast
and his clothing near the wound burned
with gun powder. Prof. Jameson hear
ing of the shooting next day returned to
Bartellot's camp, but found that the ma
tives had departed, taking with them the
stores. Jameson then retraced his
route to Stanley Falls, leaving BOnny
at Aruwimi. Tippoo lib. the reports
says, was intensely grieved at the death
of Bartellot. He had often, he said,
warned Bartellot against his excessive
harShness to the natives under him. and
predicted dire results of his persistent
OVerbearing and even brutal practices.
Another relief expedition, the dis
patches say, is regarded as almost i'm
