Smiths wife, from using any water
therefrom. Smith came in from

SIX AT A BIRTH.
The Sextette of Children Born to
a Finnish Woman.

Special to the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS. April 11.-Last year
a Finnish woman near New York Mills,
in this county, gave birth to four chill
dren, all females and all healthy at
birth. The fact was widely commented
on at the time, but the announcement
which was received from the same
neighborhood this morning is so much
more marvellous that the other woman's
performance is cast entirely into the
shade. The present story-and it is so
we'll vouched for that it seems almost
impossible for it to be myths to the
effect that Mrs. Andrew Bubera, Fin
lander, gave birth Oh the Sth inst. to six
infants, three of them alive at birth, the
other three stillborn. Physicians here
say that there is no well authenticated
case of the birth Of a sextette before
in the history of obstetrics.

lacked for attention from them. The
guests went from coffee to champaign
with marvellous rapidity, aud from that

The street car strike at Minneapolis,
which has been anticipated for some
time, occurred yesterday. The cars on
the different lines of the city stopped
running in the afternoon, and about
600 employees quit work. Up to the
hour of midnight not the slightest dis
order occurred. The company posted
reduction of wages from one to four
cents per hour, beginning Monday. The
men simply stopped their work peace
ably and quietly went home. The pub
lie, which is the main sufferer, calmly
accepted the situation, and the dissatis-
faction at the inconvenience occasioned
has been surprisingly slight. Notwith-
standing the apparent
CALM ON THE SURFACE,
there is little doubt but that a bitter
fight is on. The company has seen signs
of dissatisfaction for some time, and is
evidently determined to bring matters
to crisis at time of its own selection.
4 carefully prepared statement has
been made, of which the following is a
summary, showing that the lines of the
company during the past year have been
losing money:

And in reckoning this small profit the
cost of expensive extensions and equip
ment is not figured in. AS further
ground of the necessity for the reduc-
tion made it is stated that the company
is compelled to replace the motor with
cable line, and also projects a cable
line on Washington avenue, from
Twentieth avenue to Cedar avenue
south. In order to secure capital for
these investments, involving S3,000,0 900,
profit must be shown.
