might know from the nature of the ar

the Journal.
W. A. Van Slyke, of st. Paul. yester-
day announced his intention Of calling
upon the mayor of Minneapolis in the
interest of scheme for state ZOologi-
cal garden. Mr.. Van Slyke should be
Informed that the mayor of Minneapolis
has not been seen in these parts for
many weeks, and when last heard from
was at the other end of the continent,
where he will probably remain until
Ed johnson has vetoed all the ordi-
nances framed in the interest Of the
Norkingmen.
1t may have been merely the intense
strain on his nervous system that broke
down Bishop, the thought reader,
Wednesday, but the knowing ones say
it was attempting to read Jim WorralPs
mind.

Politicians will learn after while not
TO attack base ball and run athwart
popular feeling. Aid. Loye is ruined
for life, and will never be forgiven. He
is with Aleck Millar and eX-Ald. Dyer,
in the soup.
Up on HenDepin avenue, near Fifth
street, there is an undertaking eStab-
liShment, and painted on one of the
walls, facing the street, is the sign:
"Use S. S. S. for the blood" just
under this and without any thing to
show that it is different sign, is this:
"Hume d. Davis, Undertakers." The
effect is startling, to say the least, and
more than one man has stopped and
gazed at the sign in establishment.

1t is peculiar to note what an interest
people take in anything pertaining to
the horrible. A jeweler on Washington
avenue south has hanging in his win
dow the revolver which Tim Barrett
used when he sent bullet crashing
into the breast of Thomas Tollefson.
The sidewalk in front of the store is
crowded all day long with curious peo-
pie who stand and gaze long and earn
eStly at the deadly weapon. As the
crowd viewed the gun they discussed
TIE cTIiHe ana wondered WDeCner Pete
Should have been hung or not.
What's the matter with the street
commissioner of the Fifth ward? He
should be obliged to pass few hours
in the vicinity of the Milwaukee depot,
around where the hacks stand. The
street there is in terrible condition, the
gutter being filled with dirt and filth
or all kinds. No attempt is made to
keep the place clean. Strangers coming
into the city via the Milwaukee road
must get an idea that there is pasture
directly in front of the place.
The gentlemanly "copper" stationed
on the corner of Nicollet avenue and
Washington, possesses many of those
Chesterfield qualities which are so much
admired in man. He is continually
helping ladies across the crowded
street. and the pleasing way in which
he does it is his chief charm. No mat
ter if the lady be rs old as the hills or
homely enough to stop clock, as the
saying goes. he is just as polite to them,
and possibly more so, as he is to the Wis
ion of dazzling beauty one sees now and
then. He treats all alike, and is max
Ing good record for himself.
