HIsTRIONICs AT TABLE.
The Peoples Theater Force En-
lows Its Annual Spread.

The second annual dinner to the
dramatic company and the employees of
the Peoples theater by the manage
ment, was given at the Windsor house
yesterday afternoon, and was most
pleasurable event in every particular.
The tables were laid in the form of I,
and the room was handsomely decor
ated. The menu was all that could be
desired by the most faStidiOuS, and was
given due attention. Among those
present were MeSsrs. Sterling, Hays,
Shaw, Ferry. Nelson, Brown, Haskell,
Lester, Burton, Callahan, Gibbons,
Murphy, Munroe, Bronidge. Thomas,
De Schane, Colmis, Rogers, Hayes, Pat
terson and Fernandez, and Mesdames
and Misses Sterling, Brown, Strong,
Kemp, Clifford, Douglas, Lester and
Grover.
After the banquet Mr.. Nelson secured
the attention of the company. and then,
in a short. but expressive speech on
behalf of the company and employees OF
the theater, presented Manager Sterl ng
with handsome and costly gold watch,
suitably inscribed. Mr.. Sterling made
a feeling response. p. Gibbons was
called out for speech. He announced
that 1.-THE English language was too
frail and puny to express his thoughts"
and then made one of the prettiest
speeches ever heard in Minneapolis.
Theodore HAYES made a few remarks,
and then Ward Monroe told in graphic
manner how near he came to being
an actor. John Burton and J. 5. Van
Antwerp followed with short, but
humorous speeches.

TERRIERS AT PLAY.

The pleasant pickering between the
Tribune and Pioneer Press is quite
amusing, and reminds the few who see
the two-sded affair of the snarling of a
pair of terriers over the fag end of a
mutton bone. The winner may take
bone, and no one will know of it or care
about it. Still, il is quite amusing. For
example, the Tribune IS engaged Just
now in picking to pieces some of the
Pioneers annual records for Mime
apolis. and showing the hostility
of that paper to the Flour
city in belittlng those records. Every
knows that the Pioneer would only too
willingly swell the records out of sight
for the purpose of currying favor with
Minneapolis, and it is therefore quite
laughable to see how sharply the Trib-
une takes it to task for belittling them.
The Tribune has found some of the
totals too small and others too large,
but it meets the emergency beautifully.
Where the building, for instance, Is
too small, the Tribune says it is
"a piece of malicious BELT
Ting of Minneapolis" but where
the value of flour manufactured is too
large, it says, lit is stupid, bungling
lie." The poor Pioneer is in deSIer-
ate strait, between the devil of ''belit-
Ting Minneapolis" on one side, aud the
deep sea of "bungling mendacity' on
the other. The Tribune is probably
right, however. Still, it takes a mean
advantage. 1t waits until all other fig
ures are published and then out come
its statistics; and. like back counties
at election times, they bring the totals
up to the desired figures.

STILL WORSE.
The Millers' Review Finds a Bad
Holiday Flour Market.

Low water and floating ice continue
prominent features of operations on the
platform and have much to do with
keeping the flour output restricted to
small limits. The total production last
week was 50. 4S0 barrels averaging 1913
barrels daily-against $4,000 barrels the
week before, and 102, 900 barrels for the
corresponding time i'll 1887. There is
still deficiency of water power, and
none OF the mills moving are getting out
n full product, except where assisted by
steam. Eleven mills were in operation
to-day. but nearly all were down yes
terday for Christmas, and some oh the
day previous. Two were using steam
to some extent. The present output is
at the rate of about $4,000 barrels daily,
but when enough is taken from this to
eQualiZe the past two days, and also to
allow for one or two shut-downs to
occur before Saturday, the daily
average will probably not great
ly exceed last weeks figures.
For the past two weeks the shipments
have been in excess of the manufacture,
this being due TO two or three firms
withdrawing some of the -four they had
in store. The prevailing dullneSs in the
flour market is rather more pronounced
thar ever this week, and, in measure,
is attributed TO the holiday season. 1t
is expected that the big break in wheat
to-day will have no good effect on the
market. Ocean rates are weak and
lower, and quite low figures could doubt
less be secured were there much flour to
oe offered for export, The export trade
is still of nominal character, some of
that going forward at present being

ROOFING 1t OUT.

The religious question which cut so
decided figure in Minneapolis politics
last month has made its appearance in
police circles, and is apparently cutting
wide swath in South Minneapolis.
The charge is made that Il war is on
against the Catholics of the force, and
mo lrishman who goes to confession
will ever see peace while on the force,
is on the lips of several goaded officers.
The police commission, which is
an inert and helpless Old body,
should pinch itself and keep awake
long enough to look thoroughly into this
matter. aud either confirm the story or
set it at rest by a firm position. The
charges may as we'll be true as be Suf-
fered to 20 unhcard and uncontra-
dicted. The GLOBE believes that much
of the talk, last fall, was the plrest
buncombe for political ends, but the re-
ligi0us feeling was SO deity played upon
that the desired ends were accom-
plished. II may be so with the police
force, but an imaginary wrong is gener-
ally as poignant as areal one. Religion
is not the standard of mans fitness TO

The State Rests and the Defend

Inc Stdtt
ant Argues for Dismissal.
The Meader case was again taken up
by Judge Lochren yesterday and E. A.
Harmon, president OF the National
Bank of Commerce, was examined in
regard to Meader'S transactions with
the bank. Mr.. Powell, the cashier of
the bank, was also recalled and eXamin-
ed in regard to the Indebtedness OF
Meader & Co. at the time of their fail
ure. On discrimination j. Nj. Shaw,
defendants attorney. endeavored to
show that the wheat receipts had never
been sold, but had been delivered with
certain promissOry notes as collateral
security He called Mr.. Powell's attention
to several pin-hOleS i'll the wheat checks,
and asked him if they were not made by
pinning them on a note. MIR. Powell
said that he had often pinned the wheat
checks together, but that he had never
seen them attached to a prommissory
note. After he left the witness stand
the county attorney announced that the
state rested its case. Mr.. Shaw then
made motion to have the case dis,
missed. claiming that the state had
failed to show that the defendant was
cOgnizant of the sale of the
wheat. and said that it was
utterly impossible for any man
who was engaged in carrying on large
business TO have knowledge of all the
minor transactions and details of his
business. He tried TO make out that,
although wheat which had been left
with him on storage had been sold. the
sale had been made through an error
and not purpOsely. The county attor-
ney will make an argument opposing
the motion this morning.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES
For the Children of Westminster
Ard Iantana M, Sunday Schools

For the Children of Westminster
and Centenary Sunday Schools.
The Christmas festivities at Westmin-
ster church last evening attracted a very
large crowd of people, and standing
room was at premium. The assembly
room, where the entertainment was
held, was decorated with evergreen,
and on the platform at the end of the
room stood frame house. painted red.
The roof of the house was covered with
cotton batting to represent snow, and
number of evergreen trees on each side
of the house were also Sprlnkled
with the same substance, the whole
making a very good representation OF
a farm house just after a snow
storm. The first part of the entertain
ment consisted of Rotations by several
of the Sunday school children. This
was followed by the arrival of Santa
Claus. who suddenly made his appear
ance from one of the ante-rOomS. He
sat i'll tiny sleigh, which was drawn
by ten little tots dressed in white and
wearing tall, pointed hats covered with
cotton batting. which gave them the
appearance of being covered with snow.
On arriving in front of the farm house
Santa Claus leaped from the sleigh
with large sack of toys and entered
the house. He soon made his ap-
pearance again in front of the house
and proceeded to distribute presents
among the Sunday school children, each
child in the school receiving present.
The children who took part in the ell
tertainment were as follows: Annie
Knerr, Kathleen Guncle, Mary Starr.
Ella Bailey. Arthur Jackson, Richard
Root, Sophia Williams, Doris Burrill,
Helen Barbour, Edgar Smith, Ralph
Emory, Linn Nash. Annie White, Emily
Janney and Clifford POOli. Thomas Il.
Watson took the part of Santa Claus.
A large stock of miscellaneous presents
and caSt-off clothing was brought by the
members of the Sunday school and
given to the committee, which has the
city mission work in charge, to be
distributed among the needy. poor,
The Christmas entertainment given by
the Centenary NJ. f. church, last even
ing, was quite different from the gen
eral run of such entertainments. 1t
consisted OF troupe of Mother Goose"
characters, dressed in fancy costumes,
who sung songs and gave recltatlons.
The whole entertainment was under the
supervision of r. B. Mckinney, who
was supposed to represent Santa Claus.
The persons taking part in the enter
tainment were Annie Houliston, Alice
Winslow, Stella Calkins, Bertha Day,
Callie Winslow. Maud Hall, Alice
Gowdy. Grace Day. Marion Grinnell,
Eva Kinzie, Mary Brooks, Edna Hall,
Sarah Gilmore, Ella Wentworth, Irving
Winslow, James Sloan, Clare Ames,
Grover Morgan, Freeman Cooper and
Jesse Shnman. After the entertain
ment presents were distributed among
the children belonging to the Sunday
school.

AN OLD EDITOR INSANE.
A Bit of History Connected With
Him-NVnnderer's Remarks

Him w anueref remarks.
Gordon S. HaSeltine, an old settler in
Minneapolis and the former proprietor
of book store on the East side, was adj
judged insane by the judge of probate
yesterday and ordered committed TO the
insane asylum at Rochester. HaSeltine
at one time taught in the public schools
of St. Paul. and afterward followed the
same vocation at Elk River and Delano.
His last business venture was the es-
adjustment of daily newspaper in
this city in 1850, and after sink
ing what little money he had i'll
this enterprise he took to drinking
and soon became little more than
wreck of his former self. For the last
few wears he has never lived with his
family. bnt has left them TO shift for
themselves, and his wife has supported
herself and children by her own labor.
He has been examined several times
before, and although held to be a little
weak in his mind was not considered
insane During his examination yeSter-
day, in speaking of his newspaper eXpe-
rience, he said: in 1850 had a couple of
thousand dollars, and with j. III. Rowell

A CHANCE FOR THE BOARD.

The board of trade has been severely
criticised for its decision to abandon
the matter of a successful municipal
railroad policy until after the supreme
court of the United States has decided
the pending st. Louis case. The
trouble is that the board, usually SO
concise and precise in its form of ex-
preston, has failed in this case
to make its reasons for the post
ponement apparent. The postpone
ment resolution did not carry the
explanation with it, and the pub
lie, while regarding its adoption as
practical abandonment of the matter, is
at a loss to know the wherefore. 1t is
fair to presume that the board, COM
posed of representative citizens, is re-
liable reflection Of public sentiment on
this question. The board is divided
and the public is similarly split up, but
it does seem that little conservative
common sense in the organization would
have brought about an acceptable result
on this question at least. The two views
Of policy presented were both radical
to "a degree. One practically gave the rail-
roads the city to do with as they tchose
in the matter of crossings and bridges:
the other virtually built up wall about
the city that nothing but the absolute
authority of the law could penetrate.
The people want neither, and the board
was evidently and properly in the same
frame of mind. The people want
progressive mutually of policy that
will encourage to the utmost the
entrance into Minneapolis of all
railway lines, but at the same
time will guard the city'S interest,
maintain its rights and protect the life
and commerce of the people. Why
could not the board agree upon line OF
policy like that? The city is no stray
Cling village that must offer bonus to
every railway company that Will feed
it upon air, that is certain; but 1t IS
equally certain that to maintain It's
growth and prosperity it must offer en-
cOuragement to every enterprise the
success of which means the benefit Of the
city. A better understanding OF
these plain facts, if had long ago, would
have obviated many, if not all OF the
present difficulties: and it might, too,
have accomplished what has always
been fought for, viz, the placing of the
name of Minneapolis in the titles OF
railway companies and branding itupon
their cars. What will the board Of
trade do about it? Litigation is always
long and uncertain, and the wheels of
the federal supreme court move almost
impcrceptibly.

it is about the finest specimen of spe-

ON THE WAR PATH.
Editor WEIGH After a Big COllec-
ton of Scalps---Erwin's First.


The seventy-siX cold winters, which
he says have passed over his head, have
not at all cooled the torrent of blood
which pulses in the heart of Judge
William Welch. the eccentric gentle
man who published the Howe diary.
He considers that the scalp of William
T. Villas, now bleaching on the center
pole of his Wigwam, is lonely, and he
longs TO add to it the seml-bald and
blonde skull skin appertaining to WV.
Erwin, the great criminal lawyer.
Welch considers the result OF the Villas
indictment as a complete knOckdown
blow, and having brought the enemy up
standing, proposes 10 inaugurate a little
warfare of his own. The first broad
side is an action for libel against Erwin,
claiming $4,000. Weich charges Erwin
with having written highly defama-
tory article, in which it was al
legged that Welch was indicted
for having committed a heinous
crime and that he employed
Villas to defend him. This was written
during the trial of Welch on the Villas
indictment, and Weich claims it was in
tended to convey the idea that he and
Villas were friendly after the episode in
connection with the Wrecking of the
Madison insurance company. Welch
announces that he will also
move against Erwin via the criminal
law and have him presented to
the Ramsey county grand jury. His
programme also includes further moves.
Should he succeed in placing the
Erwin scalp on his ridgepole, he will
make an effort to add to the collection
the sparse blonde capillary substance
which shades Frank F. Davis classic
brow, and then the curly black poll of
Buel E. Hutchinson, of Madison. Ed
itor Welch has laid out quite pleasing
programme for the future.
