SIGNING PETITIONS.

People are apt carelessly to sign petit
tons for this or that with often giving
but little thought as to the sentiments
they may be indorsing. 1t is habit
with some, and thoughtleSsness with
Others. AS might naturally be expected,
an effort is being made to secure COM
mutation of the sentence of hanging to
a sentence in the penitentiary in
the case of Pete Barrett, one of
the Tollefson murderers. The trial de-
veloped that he did not fire the bullet
that OccaSioned almost instantaneous
death, although the wound he inflicted
would doubtless have proven fatal.
Whether or not this should constitute a
difference in the penalty to be suffered
by the two brothers is a matter of opin-
ion. 1t would seem, however, in order
to present petition to the governor
that will fairly represent the meaning
of its signers, that the reasons
for asking for a communication of
the sentence should be stated-the rea-
son is this: Many are opposed to capt.
tai punishment, and sign the petition
for that reason. This is an influence
that should not be considered. The
man was convicted of a crime. the pen
atty for which is hanging. The question
should be simply as to whether this
man is guilty or not. An adherence of
capital punishment should have nothing
to do with the matter.

my policy and will not be long
with the merchant tailoring trade gen.
orally. Styles OF cloth change every
year almost as much as the cus OF suits,
and outside of that there is more monesS
IN selling at low prices than there is in
carrying goods over until they have be-
come sh0pworn and until the profit is
lost on the investment. Then there is
the competition between the ready
made and the made-to-Order clothing
merchants. The latter can afford to
cut just as we'll as the former. He
won't make much money in selling $6
pantaloons made to order for 81, but, he
will make just as much as the ready
made man will in selling IS trousers for
So. or 81 ones for SIS. This is a new idea
in merchant tailoring, but it is bound to
grow. If a tailor can make pair. of
pantaloons at 81 and save his invest
ment and get rid of his goods, it is a
great deal better than smoking cigars
and waiting for customers, and carry
ing goods over to another season. a.
Thomas Canty-SOme very funny In
cldents occur in court rooms some times.
A short time ago l had case before a
Justice of the peace, and the day of
trial asked for change of venue for
my client and it was granted. The man
against whom the case had been
brought bad no lawyer. and when |
asked a change of venue he was stand
ing close by, and as was
about to leave the court room he
said to the justice: 81 want one of
those, too" The justice did not COM
prehend, and asked: zone of what?"
"Why, one of those things that lawyer
got" ''What do you want with it?'' he
was asked: We'll" said he, the other ?TI
shows just how much some men who try
to plead their own cases in court know
about the law.

MEN OF MINNEAPOLIS.

j. r. SHIRLEY, the genial treasurer of
Flubdub club, whose charming rendi-
ton of 1.-THE Belle of Bourbon" has
is carrying the plat of a park adj
dition executed in court plas
ter on his left ear
as mark of his enthusiasm in eiecting
midnight loitererS from the hallway adj
Joining his rooms on Nicollet avenue.
Other members of the club who arrived
before the end of the round say they
found that "Shib" had pushed this ear
between the other fellows teeth and
wouldn't let go.
William Hennery Eustis, the kindly
prOvider of sunshine" for the Union
league banquet. stood at the curb the
other day as the Flambeau boys
Washington and said with tear in his
eye Eyes it will be a grand affair but
and here Willyum sobbed convulviSely'
but it ought to have been James G.
Blaine.
Yesterday was Frank Lieben's last
day in the city clerks office, where he
served under the Cornman dynasty.
Frank is Company A boy, and it is
suspected that he quit yesterday so as
to make day of it at the "Tybardong
Devear," where he will take part in a
tableau, ''Asleepat His Post, during the
free entertainment.
Joe Jepson, whose mysterious disap-
pearance was noted in these columns
short. time ago, has come to life, and
has been seen in Minneapolis. Pat
Callahan is still missing, and whis-
pered inquiry for Ed u. GesSeman is
being waited on the breeze.
Jack MARYLAND, of the Tribune, is said
to spend an hour each night now in the
privacy of his room trying to get the
real estate out of suit of clothes that
he disfgured by wiping up Nicollet
avenue crossing with them while at
tempting to assist a handsome young
lady to the other side of the street.
+. Forensic Davis is said to be one of
the men who are endeavoring to induce
Beel Marian to appoint two Republic
cans to the Hennepin county bench.
This is somewhat surprising, if true, as
Mr.. Davis was one of those who got up
on their hind legs and let out a series
of mournful and prophetic walls when
Judge Hicks was appointed for politi-
cal services.
Mike Breslauer, the janitor of the
Red Dog Paste hall. formerly occupied
by the Sons of Rest, is qualdng in his
shoes in anticipation of 1000 damage
suit. Il. Z. Thompson. who runs Con-
RAIDS cigar store at 226 Hennepin, claims
Col. BreSlauer. is trying to divert all
the cigar trade to NicOllet avenue.

MINNEAPOLIS.
MERRIAM,s OPPORTUNITY.

Gov. Merriam has an opportunity now
TO demonstrate that he is not merely
machine politician who regards the
offices of his states as so much patron
age to be given out to politicians and
wire-pullers. That the judiciary Of
Hennepin county has suffered greatly
from being associated with partisan
politics no one will deny. The wishes
of the bar, and citizens generally as
well, have been disregarded too often,
and even qualifications for the high
and responsible position of judge
have been overlooked that some politi-
cal debt might be paid. The conserva-
tive element of the lawyers of Mlnneap-
oils, the better class. have fought against
this, and now look to Gov. Merriam TO
perform public service and to reform
the judiciary,m odch an expression Is APP
plicable as meaning that the judiciary
should for once be put upon a non par
tisan basis, and that qualifications Tor
the office should be considered. IL is
conceded that of the two appolntees one
should be Democrat and the other a
Republican. AS between candidates
perhaps UuU HUI SIlOuiA UC oolNs VI
need be said. 1t is only fair.
however, in justice to Sea-
grave Smith to state that he
is not only now, but has been for
years the choice of the great majority
of Minneapolis attorneys, irrespective
of parties, and that the action of the
Harmonic hall meeting, where an in
formal vote, which was largely infiu-
enced by pleas for complimentary
ballot on the part of several candidates,
is on the surface deceptive. Mr.. Smith,
it is understood, is not seeking the
Office, but he stands pledged to accept
the appointment if it is conferred, and
it is for the benefit of the friends, the
attorneys, and business men, who have
desired his presence on the bench so
long that this much is said concerning
an Office which shall be held above in
tluences that might govern an ordinary
appointment.

THE WHITE CAP MYSTERY.
There Was Nothing New Deyel-
oped i'm 1t Yesterday.

There were no new developments in
the Smith shooting case yesterday, and
the whole affair remains as much mys-
terry as ever. Smith continues to assert
his innocence, despite the overwhelm-
ing proof against him. That he knows
more about it than he has yet told is
certain, but he can not be in
duced to say anything further than he
has already said. The wound in his
head is nearly healed and in day OF so
will be able to come down to his Office
again and get shot by another ''White
Cap" Inquiry into the case thus far
has developed lot of interesting
intrigues and liaisons. some of which
are liable to develop into sensations, to
say the least, and it is not improbable
that one family, and possibly two or
three, will be broken up as the case
progresses. The police are now fully
convinced that Smith wrote the letters
and shot himself, and so are not taking
any activesteps in the matter.

Adventures of a Man in Getting
Divorced

granted divorce from Ellen, his wife,
and was yesterday awarded the custody

been brought into court four times,
twice to the supreme court or writs of
habeas corpus to obtain areIease. Dur

Samples Of Some of the Latest
Styles in Divorces.
Frank jain was yesterday granted
a divorce from Emma jain, on
the ground of desersSnn. In June,
1884, they were married. Frank
was twenty and Emma was eighteen.
Three weeks of married life satisfied
the young lady and she left and has not
been heard of since. Frank has lived
married life five years now, but his wife
was only with him three weeks. He
grew tired of waiting and so got di-
VOrce.
Ingeborg Nelson was granted a di-
vOrce yesterday from William Nelson,
on the grounds, cruelty and desertion.
Nelson went to the house after the suit
was begun and removed some of the
furniture. Ingeborg replevined the
goods, and the judgment was yesterday
rendered in her favor. The divorce
case of Annie Erickson against William
Erickson, on the grounds of cruelty,
was taken under adviSement by Judge
LOchren YESTERDAY.

The six girls who were gathered in
from the rooms over Richter's saloon,
on Hennepin avenue, by Sergeant Leon

notorious Nellie Turcotte, recently taken
from Jennie Jones' place, ON First street
south, by her mother. George Arnold,
who was found with the girls, paid $40.
Johnny Holm is a rather handbook
ing lad of fourteen. who was brought
before Judge Emery yesterday on a
charge of incoIrigibility preferred by
his mother, who testified that Johnny
was bad boy, that she could do moth
ing with him,tl at he would steal and lie
and go out nights. He was sent to the
reform school.

A BOYS AMBITION,
He Wants to See a Live President
InauGurated

Renwood Miller is bright little fell
low who sells papers on the street. He
is great favorite around the Nicollet
house and several other downtown cor
ners. He took notion the other day
to go to Washington to see Harrison in
augurated, and, with that end in view,
attempted to do the stowaway act
on the train that carried the
Flambeau club. He was discovered,
however, just before the train left, but
yesterday had the boy arrested for in
corriglbility. The evidence didn't
show that the lad was wild or vicious,
and Judge Emery advised the father,
Albert Miller, to take the boy home
and make a man of him.

ARTISTIC PROFANITY.
Oaths That Do Not Have Handles
or Can Be Picked Up Any


where.
If man with large adult boil OH
the back of his neck and an aching
tooth in front to counterbalance it
were out in search Of new, unique and
startling oaths wherewith to give vent
to his outraged feelings he couldn't
find better place to pick them up
than Minneapolis hack stand
at night. The most weird and fantastic
forms Of profanity are found there in
great abundance and many new and
striking explosives are coined each
night for some special OCCASION. A
horse slips his bride OF drops shoe, a
drunken loiterer tries to drive sharp
bargain for ride home and won't take
a carriage because he can't go for
quarter, and then late street car that
gathers in half dozen belated pedes-
trianS calls down storm of inveetives
on the head of Tom Lowry and his
''nickel rigs as these irreverent jehuS
term the inoffensive street cars.
But the longest, ioudest, widest
string of variegated and assorted Oaths

which was ever let loose to contaminate
the ozone of Minneapolis atmosphere
was incorporated in the remarks made
by one certain short strong hackdriver
who was taken in by a couple of
blokes" at 2:30 a. m. the other night. At
about that time he was accosted by two
fellows who said they wanted to go to
2I3 Monroe street northeast. There was
some dispute about the price, but they
finally concluded to ride at his fig
ures, and got into the carriage.
Arrived at 213 they refused to get out
and swore that he had agreed to take
them to 1902 for the stipulated price.
He demurred and they made some
threats about spraining his whiskers.
He was firm, however, and they finally
agreed to pay him an extra half-dollar
to drive on to 1902. At Broadway Mr..
Hackdriver heard the door of his vehicle
slam and saw his two passengers skip
ping down an alley at 2:10 gait. He
stopped the horses and without a bow
or any preliminary formalities com.
mences to pour forth his soul ON
the still night air. He turned
his face hOmeward and whipped
his horses into run. At the east end
of the bridge an excited copper sud-
denly wakened from his slumbsr in a
convenient doorway, shouted at him to
stop, but the whish of whip in the air
was his only answer and the horses and
carriage soon disappeared in cloud of
blue sulphurOuS smoke that hung over
the bridge and hOmeward bound alder

The Salvation Army Is Run for
What There Is in 1t.

The Salvation Army does not now de-

indicate that such was the case. About

A LIVE oFFICE-HoLDER

George w. Orff. the building in
bpector, has taken a standpoint which
is winning HIM many friends. 1t is re-
freShing to see an Otfice-holder de-
pendent upon the votes of councilmen
for his position who dares to insinuate
that he has any rights at all, and Mr..
Orff has confidently asserted that he is
the one who should choose his Office
assistant.
Mr. Siegmann is beyond doubt the
only one of the qualified candidates for
rSStion in the department who is fitted
tVao the clerical work in the office, and
no one has thought of offering any OBJ
lection to him, except his politics, and
no one can call him an offensive parti-
san. The action of the council
in opposing Mr.. Orff shows their
hypocrisy and desire to displace
every public servant, no matter how
faithful and efficient, if he is opposed to
them in politics while pretending to go
on the fright man in the right place"
principle. Mr.. Orff has declared that
his resignation is final unless the
council confirms Mr.. Siegmann or finds
him another man fitted for the place.
which he has not now among the men
who have passed the technical eXamlna-
ton, and his action is most commend
able. 1t is to be hoped that some alder
men will come to their senses soon.

GOING TOO FAR.
An Ex-Alderman's Lecture on
Retrenchment and Reform.

SIT strikes me-" remarked Ex-Ald.
A. G. Haugen, yesterday afternoon.
THAT the present city council is carry
ing tho retrenchment and reform idea
too far in certain matters. Now, there
is not man at work cleaning the
streets, when there is great necessity
for doing that. The streets are worse
than any barnyard, and it is disgrace
that something can not be done to make
the crossings passable. Last year there
was some little excuse for having the
streets dirty and filthy, but now there
is none. 1t is just the time when the
streets should be cleaned, and the coun-
Gil would be showing good sense to put
lot of the unemployed men on the
streets to work cleaning the thorough
fareS.'
