one stands, walks or sits correctly, he
or she is bound to be severely criticised
by some one of the many Del
sarteans. It's becomes absolutely
painful, in fact, for any one
to walk along with the gait that
nature, aided by tight shoes and
bunions, has fixed as the gait. II the
walker is made aware of the presence
of these Young persons. They are such
borrid critics. and their criticisms are
of such a deliberate, cruel nature. For
instance, they will remark about some
BODY in front of them on the street:
.'Oh. Georgie She how sic walks!
She lifts her limb at too low an angle
from the knee, and doesn't bring it
down properly. Can't you see she's al
most pigeon-toed?'
Several young ladies who have been
taking a summers course in the system
went to the Newmarket to see the
Lyceum Theater company when it was
here, but could not remain throughout
the performance because the ladies of
the company did not move gracefully
and according to the edict of Delsarte,
Just think of that! The ladies of the
Lyceum Theater company did not move
gracefully. In other words, they lacked
in the motion of their bodies the leo
nine grace embelliShed withthat perfect
poetical rhythmic sWaying which char
acterizes all DelSartean disciples.

To be convinced that Delsarte has a
frm foOthOld in ST. Paul, it is only neceS-
sary to look over the list of fashionable
young ladies' names which form the
classes of Mrs. L. j. Preece, the we'll
known teacher of DelSarte, who atpres-
ent is making her headquarters here.
Mrs. Preece herself is an elaborate per-
sonifcation of Delsarte's dream. She
SAYS she is forty-nO one would have
guessed it-and that she has been teach
ing the true science of grace for twenty
years. She is very clever woman
and such a talker! 1t is easy to see
that the DelSarte system creates sup
pleneSs in the muscles of the larynX, as
well as in the muscles of other portions
of the body, from the pleasant vOlubil-
ity of her speech.
"You have no idea," said she to

The decision made by Judge Cory re-
Gently regarding the registration OF ply
Sicians has caused considerable cOmmo-
ton in the ranks of those learned men.
1t is well-known fact that but few
doctors have complied with the new law
regarding registration. Many of them
have lost their Licenses, and now the
very serious question arises whether or
not the state medical board can issue to
such doctors duplicate licenses. There |
is also question as to whether the doc
tors who have no license, and are not
registered, are eligible to hold medi |
cal autopsy, testify as experts in COM
plicated cases where medical testimony |
is sneeded, or sign commit ment pa
pers to insane aSylums. In view of all |
these complicated questions, there is no
wonder that the SaWbOneS feel alarmed. |

If anybody thinks DR.. Days only |
hobby is the court house bells, he is |
mistaken,as he has another hobby, only |
1t is not quite so apparent as the other. |
This hobby is for canes, and quite col |
lection he has of them, too. There is
one cane among his collection that is his
pet, and he has it standing by the side
of his desk where he can see it always.
This cane is peculiarly carved piece
of willow, nearly five feet in height,
eight inches in circumference and |
weighing in the neighborhood of six
pounds. In fact the cane is monster,
and stands leaning against the wall like
tall. grim sentinel, keeping guard over
the doctors many things that lie scat
tered about.
DIR. Murphy returned yesterday from
Milwaukee, where he was in attendance
at the q. A. r. encampment The doc
tor is very enthusiastic over the en-
campment, and says it is proving q
brilliant success. He speaks very highly
of the Milwaukee branch of the Loyal
Legion, and says they treated the
'vetS" in a royal manner. He is of the
opinion that between 5000 and 10000
old soldiers will come up here to attend
the Exposition and the State Fair at
Hamline.
In Justice to Solomon Hall, Familiarity
known about the city hall as SOL" it is
only fair to say that the report being
circulated about that he was discharged
for incompetency is not true. Sol has
been in the employ of the city great
many years, and most of the city
officials would feel lonesome if they
could not see his ebony face around the
building. Sol is sick and his place is
only filled temporarily. He expects to
be alb to go to work again in few
days.
There was rumor about town yeSter-
day that the young lady i'll the telephone
office, who is known as 'birdie,"
''baby," darling" 'pet," and 'the
sweet little captain" had been suddenly
stricken with deafness. The rumor was
started by a reporter who made long
and Intellectual effort to call her up
through the telephone in the Office of
the chief of police. He rang the bell
until Clerk Morton had to put corks in
his ears, so as to go on with his work Oh
the monthly report. And even then he
fain would have persisted had not the
seeming futility of his endeavor at
tracted boisterous, jeering crowd.
MORE PEELERS WANTED.
Chief of Police Clark yesterday re-
marked: ITO look at our court house
one would suppose we had lots OF law;
but to look at the roster of our police
force one wouldn't be apt to charge us
with extravaganza in executing the
said law. We have but 1874 patroImen
all told and only ten mounted men to
guard city of 100000 population, and
with limits sufficiently extended to con-
tain four times that number. People
who live within the corporate line all
expect protection and they've got a
right to. They pay for it. We ought
to have 400 men at the lowest ealcula-
ton"
They Bucked the Cable.
Mrs. William Rogers, of st. Anthony
Park, was thrown from her carriage at
Seventh and Jackson streets shortly
after 10 o'clock yesterday morning, her
horse becoming frightened and backing
into cable train. She escaped serious
injury, but her carriage was badly dam
aged. Officer McEllistrom stopped the
horse, and had no sooner got things
