Star: One of the Prohibition orators
yesterday said that the Big -Four in op;
position to Prohibition consisted of The
Tribune. Pioneer Press, Bob Ingelsoll
and the Devil. It is noteworthy fact
that the Devil is made the junior part
ner in the combination.
Globe: The Evening Guesser made a
painful stab at the June tax settlement
last night, and succeeded in making
more errors than the base ball team On
an off day. Nearly every item was
wrong, and the total of taxes coming to
the city was figured out little matter
of $4S, ,O0O less than 1t really is, aud
other bulls of a similar nature were
made. A great snap is evening journal
ism.
Tribune: The Evening Journal has
been forced to swallow it's lies that the
population of Minneapolis has decreased
during the last IL months. How to az
count for the publication of such no.
toriosls falsehood in the columns of any
loyal and reputable newspaper is a
complete mystery. Probably at no time
since Minneapolis entered upon her
phenomenal career of growth and pros
perity has a greater and more pernlcious
libel upon her fair name made it's ap-
pearance IN any paper soliciting the
patronage of her citizens and business
men. Nothing has ever been published
by Minneapolis paper which was CAL
culated to 1njure her private and public
credit more seriously, drive away for
eign capital and stide incipient enter
prizes more effectively. The Journal
and other evening papers haye, In fact,
heralded to the world that the growth
of Minneapolis is at an end--that the
city now has entered upon period Of
retrogression and decay.
Journal: Judge Shaw, in a communi-
cation to the Journal yesterday,
punched big hole and let big food
of broad daylight clear through the
argument of the Tribune and other
friends of the street railway monopoly
that a passage of an ordinance IN favor
of Anderson & Douglas would result in
vexatious litigation, which would be
calculated to delay the improvement of
the street railway system, and result in
the indiction of loss upon the city as
we'll as upon both the old company and
the new. He suggested that If the
street railway company we're sure of
their position and really believed that
they had the monopoly of the street
railway business. they would be verv
glad to have Anderson & Douglas 90
ahead and build their lines, or part of
them. There would he time enough to
demonstrate in the courts that the old
company's franchise is exclusive for all
kinds Of power, after which, Anderson
& Douglas, not being able to make any
use Of their plant, would be forced to
sell the work they had already done and
the road they had already built at any
figure the old company might see fit to
give. That would be a soft snap for the
Minneapolis Street Railway company,
and as the Judge suggests, "a Godsend
to strapped corporation anxious to
make large improvements

The Anderson & Douglass franchise
was lost sight of for few days during
the past week, but the people know that
there is something in that for them and
very little in the police commission.
There was rather unsatisfactory feel
ing among the South Minneapolis alder
men on the granting Of this franchise,
because Of the company refusing to 90
below Thirteenth avenue South. A lit
tie back Office meeting was held between
the projectors Of the new street car
lines and the South Minneapolis alder
men, few evenings ago, and the new
company's representative told the al
dermen to map out what they wanted,
and they would consider it, The result
was, that these city fathers, who sleep
in South Minneapolis, drew line down
Fifth street, from Thirteenth avenue to
Nineteenth avenue, out Nineteenth
avenue to Niath street, down Ninth
street to Riverside, thence to Franklin
avenue, and thence down to the new

In tho opera OF 1.-The Lady or the
Tiger" the mystery is solved. 1t has
been puzzling surprise, throughout
the English-speaking world, whether
the lady or the tiger would have come
out, but the question no longer needs TO
puzzle any one. In the opera the lady
comes out and, with good reason, too,
for the tiger had been poisoned.
One night, some time before the
opera had solved the perpleXing ques-
ton, Mr.. Frank X. Stockton was return
ing, in Washington, from a late dinner.
He had been merry during the evening
and, that he might enjoy the fresh air,
he refused TO take q cab. The streets
were deserted. Not even policeman
was TO be seen under the fickering gas
lamps. Suddenly Mr.. Stockton was
seized from behind. A sack, which
was Immediately thrown over his head,
rendered his struggles useless. He was
lifted into a hack and was rapidly driv-
en- away. He knew that he was sitting
between two persons. Once he said:
"Why am l treated thus?"
A deep voice answered: Hush"
The hack stopped. Mr.. Stockton was
lifted out, carried up flight of stairs
into a room. He was placed in chair
and the sack was removed. He found
himself confronted by two desperate
looking men. Both of them were arm
ed with pistols.
"Do not STIR" said one of them.
"Are you going 10 murder me-" Mr..
Stockton gasped.

shall be compelled to. You wrote the
story of The Lady or the Tiger did

"Well, now, sir, tell us which came

HANKS LITTLE SCHEME.
Bruin Fooiishly Follows a Trail Of
Sugar Back Into Captivity,


Bruin FooIishIy Follows a Trail Of
Sugar Back Into Captivity,
The proprietor Of the Steamboat Ho-
tel, Port Richmond, some time ago Sc
cured as an attraction q one-year-old
black bear, raccoon and four foxes,
says the indianapolis News. The bear,
which is chained in side room, is very
frisl1y and affords great deal of amuse-
ment to the frequenters of the place.
During the temporary absence of the
proprietor recently several village
urchins got inside and tormented the
bear until he broke his fastenings and
made dash for his tormentors. The
boys ran from the room and shut the
door just i'm time to prevent his bear
ship from getting vengeance on them.
Left TO himself, Mr. Bruin raised havoc
with the scanty furniture in the room.
He demolished the cages in which the
raccoon ana foxes were imprisoned and
Owed out of one of the windows, car
rying sash and all with him. The 9TH
err animals followed. When the pro-
prietor returned and learned what had
happened he was mad. The bear in the
meantime had found shady spot un-
derneath a tree, along the sidewalk,
whence he was taking a bear s-eye view
of the situation. At length old Hank
Smith was sent for. When Hank
arrived, the first thing he did was to go
into the hotel and take drink. Then
he came out and sized up the bear, and
went back and had another drink
During all this time he had not opened
his mouth TO say word on the situa-
ton. The spectators gathered around
him, and the landlord held up his hands
beseechingly. Then Smith said: "Git
ten pounds of that ar brown sugar"
The sugar was brought and Hank
took the bag and went as near the bear
as he considered safe, and opened the
bag and spread some on the ground.
He made trail of sugar reaching from
there into small hogshead which he
spied in the yard. Then he ordered
the crowd to stand back. Presently the
bear shifted the air and soon found the
sugar. He began on the first pile of
sugar placed on the ground by Hank
and, quickly licking up that, he follow
ed the trail until he entered the hogs
head. The minute the bears tail dis
appeared in the barrel Hank caught
hold of the barrel and tipped it upside
down, catching Mr.. Bruin underneath.
After nearly smothering the animal,
they succeeded in getting n chain
around his neck once more, and ship
ped him back to his former headquar-
tiers at the Bowery cider mill. Hank
Smith, feeling that he had performed
his duty, gathered up what he could of
the scattered sugar, and, after TAX
ing another drink, departed for his hut
with the bag underneath his arm.

Whether the Niagara engineers ever

Emhroidering Book Covers.

A new pastime for women, and one
that promises to DO extremely popular,
is the embroidering Of book covers. 1t
was introduced by a lady recently from
Europe, who is an adept in fine artistic
embroidery, and who had been inter-
ested enough in the work to examine
the various specimens in the British
Museum and in the Bibliotheque
Rationale in Paris. The silk, satin or
velvet is embroidered in colors, and
gold and silver thread, in designs APP
propriate to the contents Of the book,
or according to the fancy Of the en-
broiderer, and it is then sent TO the
bookbinders. Beautiful effects may be
produced by artistic fingers, and,
certainly, few books with such orna-
mentation will add as much to a lady's
boudoir as an embroidered tablecloth
or handsome piece Of b,ic-a-brac.
