IN THE BALL ROOM.
The Beautiful Blondes and the

The scene in the ball room was one of
dazzling beauty. 1t seemed that all the

the matchlessIy beautiful blonde type
for which the North is famed, bru-
nettes of a brilliance the world
cannot excel-beauties all-not plain
girl in the entire gathering. There were
fully 500 people on the floor when the
bewtching strains OF Roeder's waltz,
Loves Dreamiand." floated softly and
sweetly from the platform occupied by
Seibert's pride; thrilling with its de-
lightful rhythm the youthful and
middle aged alike. Away over
the CLASSY surface drifted the
merry throng = the gay gayer
than ever. and the staid Ones-whOse
dancing days they have been wont to
say are over-dancing with verye and
animation which probably surprised
themselves. Viewing the scene from
the open doorway, 1T was one not soon
to be forgotten. The beauty of the cos
tuning, the flashing brilllance of jewels
worth a kings ransom, which cleaned
and sparkled in the light as the forms
of the wearers swayed to the musle,S

NEARER TO MARKET.
A Montanan Will Establish q
Sheen Ranch in Minnesota.

Special to the Globe
DULUTH, MInn., Nov. 12.-An official
of the st. Paul 81 Duluth road in Du-
luth to-day said that his company had
given an option on 10000 acres of land
near Mile Lacs, mostly lying north of
it, to a Montana sheep raiser, who
would use the land for the establish
ment of a large sheep ranch. The
Montanan says: "The wooded country
I'm this section is better than the grazing
lands of Montana for sheep and cattle
raising. There is as good clover and
hay land here as can be found any,
where in the world. Sheep need shelter
I'm the winters from the storms, and the
woods of Minnesota furnish that to per-
fection. In Montana there is little
timber, and in that respect that country
is far behind this section. Plenty of
water can be had at Mile Laos. and the
fact that l will be a Thousand miles
nearer the market than in Montana Is
a great thing. Indeed, by this location
| would be SO near Duluth and the Twin
Cities that | would practically be right
at my market. The only difficulty will
be the wolves, but we have wolves in
Montana, and we can guard against
them." The name of the prospective
purchaser has not yet been divulged.

at 2 O'Clock this afternoon. ready for
action. 1t had been anticipated that
trouble of serious nature might result,
but the easy surrender of the Repub-

sheriff had number of deputies sta
toned about the court room. The DEM
Ocratic sheriff-elect had his deputies on

ordered the city marshal to have twenty
special policemen on the scene. Re-

from each side declined to decide be-

The only feature of the whole affair
which calls ford adverse criticism is the
location of the dressing rooms in such
a position as to make it necessary that
all arrivals should pass the entire length
of the corridor among the prOmenadorS,
with their wraps on, before the
dressing rooms could be reached.
The arrangement was the cause
of a good deal of expressed dis
satisfaction, which, however, was
forgotten in contemplation of the per-

What W. H. Beasley Wanted But
Didn't Get.
The jury in the Beasley-L Lester slander
suit in the city court brought in a verdict
at o'clock last night for the defendant,
d. b. Lester, after having been out little
over an hour. The case occupied the entire
session Of the court yesterday
W. H. Beasley bought house at Tenth
and Burroughs streets from Mr.. Lester on
the installment plan, and in October last
the house burned down, Mr.. Beasley having
occupied it only two or three months. A
controversy arose between Mr.. Beasley and
MIR. Lester about the latter rebuilding for
Mr.. Beasley, and he alleged that during the
heated controversy Mr.. Lester had said: "I
will show you up; you burned the house."
Beasley, who was then night watchman
at Gordon a. Co.'S warehouse, and was
absent at his post on the night of the fire,
employed Charlton & Mackall to bring the
suit, in which Beasley claimed S., 900 dam
ages.
Hon. r. Z. Lester represented the defend
ant The case turned on the question
whether the defendant used the Language
within the hearing of third person. The
defendants counsel argued that under the
common law such language must be made
use OF so that other than the one to whom
it imputes an improper act or motive shall
have heard ami understood. The plaintiffs
counsel w. g. Charlton. ESQ, disputed
the proposition, claiming that the statutory
law of Georgia had swept away all the tech
nicaities of the common law, and that there
is a distinction and difference between libel
and SANDER in the sta utOry law, libel be-
ing the publication OF defamatory state
ment and SANDER need only TO be imputed
to the plaintiff to make the languag 20
actionable.
The court, in its charge to the jury, took
the broad ground that there is distinction
without difference, and he found nothing
in the statutory law to change the common
law rule that a man to be DETAINED, the de-
famation must be heard and understood by
a third party as what one may
say to another not in the hearing of an
other. cannot injure his fame OF reputa-
tion, in other words cannot uufame him.
The evidence failing to establish the fact
that the defendant, if he had used the
language alleged, which he denied, had
used it in the hearing OF anyone but plain
tiff, the jury, under the ruling Of the court,
bad no other course to pursue than to find
