Queen Victoria's Footman.

Youths Companion.
In the days when Prince Albert had
come to WOO the queen of England the
crowd of people who wished to catch a
glimpse of royalty, as it promenaded
upon the terrace of Windsor castle, was
greatly increased by reason of the gen.
eral interest i'll the young couple. One
day a YorkShireman, who had deter
mined to get good look at the queen,
appeared at the gates by which the
spectators were usually admitted, and
thus accOsted a man, a footman evil
identity, who was at that moment cross
ing the court yard:
Look here John, Robert, whatever
they call you. COON from the cOun-
try"
$50 hear" said the footman.
swell, Eve never seen t. queen, and
can't you juStlet me through them gates.
just afore t. rest o. t. folks? l want to
get good place, We see."
well, sir" said the man, 81 don't
know whether dare. might lose my
place, you see."
NAY, nun, thou'll never lose thy
place for such thing as that. Thou
can say t. queen that she hasn't gotten
more lOyaller subject than John
Stokes, not in all Yorkshire. l nobbut
want to go in just atore t. rest on EN-"
"Well. come along, them" said the
man. He opened the gate and the eager
Yorkshire man rushed through. AS he
did so an idea seemed to strike him. and
he stopped to tender the fOotman half
crown.
mo, thank you, ST." said the man;
''we are forbidden to take fees"
''Take it, mum, take it. Nobody'Il
know"
No, thank you, ST."
The YOrkshireman secured foremost
place, and in due time appeared the
queen and prince. More than that, con-
versing familiarly with her majesty was
the fOotman.
"Just look thereH' cried the country
visitor to bystander. "He's laugh
ing and talking to t. queen like any
thingr'
"Who?"
"Why, t. chap that opened me the
gate--t' footman--him with the blue
coat and red cOllar.''
When the listeners laughter would
allow him to speak. he explained:
BLUE coat and red collar! Why,
that's the Windsor uniform, and your
foOtman is Lord Melbourne, the prime
minister"

CATARRHAL DANGERS.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation

matter defles the breath and rots away the
delicate machinery Of smell, taste and hear
ing; to feel that the system does not. through
its veins and arteries. suck up the poison
that is sure to undermine and destroy, is i'll
deed blessing beyond all other human en-
joyments. To purchase immunity from such
a fate would be the object of all afflicted.
But those who have tried many remedies and
physicians despair of relief or cure.

As stated yesterday, the De Soto club,
at 2O6 Nicollet avenue, is no more, hav-
ing given up the ghost because some of
the members did not take enough in
terest in it to see that the bills con-
tracted were paid when they became
due. 1t was thought that the Needham-
Gilmore fight would put the club OH its
feet again, but, owing to police inter-
ference on Monday night, this delight
full anticipation was unrealized. Frank
Cotharin, who was first in charge
of the club, will most probably
reorganize the club, and endeavor to
make it success. 1t is claimed that if
the ninety-seven members of the old
DeSoto, now in arrears, would pay up,
the club could be run all right. The
club has gone down in a blaze of glory,

club, there would have been no fight
between Needham and Gilmore yester-
day morning.

IN A NEW ROLE.
Nellie King Drops Down From
Anoka Wearing Peculiar Gar


The notorious Nellie King, the young
woman who delights in being called
.'the female detective" and in making
herself conspicuous in male attire, was
up in the police court yesterday MORN
ing. A few days ago she hired a
horse and sulky from livery barn
at Anoka, and dressing her petite
15O-pound figure in style which
is happy medium between that of
wild Western bear tanner, and the
scanty but more popular garb of the
modern ballet tdancer, she Sprang into
the sulky, and, placing her feet. which
either side of the horse, set out on a
journey to Minneapolis. The police
saw her driving around the city here
Tuesday night in this style, and, being
aware of Nellie's little eccentricitieS
with other peoples horses, arrested her.
The rubber boots were remarkably alb
breviated in length, as was also the
dress, which dropped in graceful folds
to point about foot above the knees.
The intermediate space between the
boots and the skirt was covered
with large. well-flled hose. She
wore woman'S jersey coat
anu man cap, ana carried upon her
arm mans ulster. She was all smiles
this morning when the court officer
went down after the prisoners. When
he saw Nellie, for moment his modesty
overcame him and he turned his back.
Then he thought how the crowd would
laugh at him, coming into the court
room with q woman looking like that,
and he said to her.
''Put Oh that ulster you got there, or
I'll never take you into the court room.''
She replied; no You don't Eve been
fined for wearing mems clothes before.
i am going into court just as | am"
The court officer fell on the floor and
sobbed. Rejecting on the subject for
moment, bright thought occurred to
him and he went into the office, and,
finding a new patrolman there said:
s'Say, can't take care of all these pris.
oners alone. Come and help me. You
90 take the woman in and I'll bring the
rest" In this way he got the joke on
the other fellow. The stern features Of
the Judge repressed the merriment of
the spectators, although everybody
wore a contagious smile. The owner of
the horse at Anoka telegraphed that it
had not been stolen, although kept ont

IT is WONDERFUL
Mind-Reader Bishop Made Sick
by Giving am Exhibition.

u
Mind-Reader Bishop Made Sick
by Giving am Exhibition.
Although far from well yesterday,
Mind-Reader Bishop made a very Sc
we're test of his powers and after 1t was
taken violently III, being seized
with something very like a cataleptic
fit. AT little past l o'clock in the
afternoon he met crowd at the West
hotel and selected W. q. Byron. James
Morrall, Gen. Holm E. j. Phelps.
DR.. Evans and DIR. Laton as a commit
tee to hide needle. He then went to
his dinner, accompanied by two of the
committee, while the others took
the needle and drove to the
exposition building where they
concealed it in an old flannel shirt in
side the building. Then they drove
back and blindfolded Mr.. Bishop, who.
in that condition, got OH a hack and
drove the horses directly to the place,
was helped off the box, rushed into the
building and directly to the spot where
the tiny bitof metal had been concealed.
AS soon as he had found it he sank
down totally exhausted by the awful
mental strain of his unique perform
ance. His form became rigid and he
seemed to be in terrible agony. A little
whisky and some other attentions from
DIR. Laton revived him somewhat and
he was carried out and placed in the car
riage, where he began to cry and laugh
in hysterical way.
Every one who witnessed the exhibit
ton is satisfied that it was nothing
more nor less than display of pecul-
lar, wonderful and almost superhuman
power of mind.
AT a late hour Mr.. Bishop was still
very i'll at his hotel and was unable to
give his entertainment at the theater
last night.

MINNEAPOLIS,
CURRENT COMMENT.

An evening paper says considerable
"alarm is felt that the police commis-
sion may be abolished.
Why "alarm?" Should the abolition
of useless and expensive board that
was created simply to carry out dis
reputable political scheme be consd-
cred as ''alarming"--a board that has
accomplished nothing but the diSorgan-
iZatiOn OF the police force, board, too,
composed of men who have completely
demonstrated their unfitness for the po-
SitiOnS they hold, not one of whom could
be elected to any office of trust if they
came before the people as candidates,
and it would read better 10 say cOnSid-
cradle hope is felt that the police COM
mission will be abolished.
There has been good deal of talk
about sensational Journalism of laie,
but the newspaper maladV that seems
to atflict Minneapolis is SenSeleSS jour
naliSm-tbe kind that turns reporters
into spies on liquor sellers, editorials
into whining, old maidiSh hOmilies
upon the evils of the day, the kind of
Journalism that holsters up fanatIclsm
and urges the enforcement of laws that
are intended for the government of
lOWllS OSbott-
ton in journalism at Minneapolis seems
just now TO be confined to efforts to
make Minneapolis appear to be hot
bed of vice instead of an almost phe-
nomenally quiet and orderly city, which
is just now suffering from an attack of
bad politics.
The assistant city attorney holds that
it isn't absolutely necessary that a
building inspector should pass an eX-
animation. OF course not. If he's a
Republican and will appoint Republic
cans as his assistants-he'S all right,
but what has that got to do with in
speeding buildings?
Cutting the appropriation for the SOL
dierS' home from 500, 600 to $4,000 is
making a good many q. A. r. com
rades indignant, but the opposition is
very mild in comparison with intense
indignation that would arise if the leg
islature happened to be Democratic.
~
Despite the fact that Minneapolis
lays claim to metropolitan distinction,
there are really no iirst-claSS restaur-
ants within her limits. Her citizens
are literally 'bowling" for an estab-
lishment that will serve table-de-hote
dinners including rare wines, at cost
not exceeding % cents per plate. Fame,
if not fortune, awaits the caterer who
will serve the bon ton in this fashion.

SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE.
The First Baptist Church the
Scene of an Animated Gath

erlnG.
Yesterday from 10 a. m. till 10 p. m.
was a busy day at the First Baptist
church among the Sunday school work
ers of tine church of the Fourth ward,
who held their institute at the church.
it being conducted under the auspices
of the Hennepin County Sunday School
association. From beginning to end
the exercises were full of life and
energy that shows growing Interest in
the Sunday school work. The first ex-
ercise of the morning was a praise
service conducted by Rev.G. L. Morrill,.
1t was followed by dissertation by B.
F. Jacobs, of the International Sunday
school committee, on Institute Work. -
He showed why there should be an in
stitute and the good it did in showing
the field to workers.
Rev. q. w. Miller, of the Centenary
Methodist church, next addressed the
institute on 1.-The Teachers Prepara-
tion." Among the interesting things
he said was the following bit of pure
logic: II have often thought that the
reason why our wives and mothers, the
women of the church, are so
much stronger in their moral and
religious natures, so much purer
characteristics than their husbands and
sons; is because surrounded by the child
rem; childhood is to them constant
study. The gentleness gained by the
contemplation of childhood is first
qualification for successful Christian
teaching. By its reflex influence upon us
love is begOtten, and love is the Alpha
and Omega of the teachers work of
preparation
Rev. G. l.. Morrill,, of Calvary Bap-
fist church, spoke on 1.-The Book We.
Study at the beginning of the after
noon session. He expounded it under
three heads-the Bible as a revelation
of God; as a revelation of man; as a
and closed by showing how it should be
studied. Rev. Roert U. McKaig. of
the Hennepin Avenue Methodist
church, showed how the value of the
Sunday school did not depend on its
size or its creeds or its men,
berS; its work was for the CONVEX
sion of the child, his training and initia-
ton to the church.
Rev. B. f. Jacobs spoke again at
length in the afternoon meeting on
The Superintendent Responsible
ity;"
The evening session was opened at
1880 by a song service, after which
Rev. Charles +. Thwing spoke
on Christian character the aim of the
Sunday school. He took the three
"G's, goodness, genuineness and grace,
and built his address about them.
B. f. Jacobs then took up the greater
part of the evening in pleasing ad-
dress. He is an enthusiast in the work
and interested the large audience pres
ent.

TWO INTERESTING DECISIONS.
Judge Young Sustains Contracts
Made in Real Estata Deals,

cisions in cases of Merritt B. Pratt
against J. W. Blood in one instance and

mortgagage given on the property for
s., ZOO. balance. The judge decided that
the contract should be performed. the
S., 800 paid, and the mortgage executed.

THE FLOUR BUSINESS.
Facts and Figures Which Show
I'm the NinneaDOIiS Output

UP the Minneapolis Output.
In its issue to-day the Northwestern
Miller will say: There were twelve
mills which did more OF less grinding
last week, and they produced about the
same amount of flour as was made the
week before. Their aggregate output
for the week was 4,275 barrels-averag-
ing 1918 barrels daily-against 3,7S0
barrels the previous week. and 1923. $50
barrels for the corresponding time in
1888. There were to-day eleven mills
running, getting out at the rate of about
1880 barrels of flour per twenty-four
hours. This rate. however, can
not be counted on for the
full week, as several started
late. and one of 1900 bbls capacity will
stop tomorrow. The water power
more than meets the requirements of
the mills, quite little of it going to
waste, and only one engine is left in
use. The arrangement between north
western mills to maintain uniform min
imum prices on -four has been temper
arily suspended, and some parties are
quoting 10c to 15c reduction. The
flour market is without much life and
orders are coming in slowly and in
small quantities. Along about Satur-
day, when wheat took on some
strength. there was fair demand, and
considerable sales were made, though it
was usually in small lots and we'll scat
tered. The export trade is still light,
though more bakers has lately been
disposed of abroad. To-day's cables
were of rather better tone with prices
offered nearer the views of local mill
ers. The near approach of the opening
of navigation has unsettled freight
rates, and material reduction is looked
for as a result of increased competition
from the lake routes. Ocean rates are
also weak and lower for the same cause.
The direct exports of flour for the week
ending Saturday were 2s,36O barrels,
against 1850 the preceding week.

1T WAS WARM.
An Ex-Detective and a Reporter
Have Row.

There was lively scrap in Wash

morning, growing out of the Needham-
Gilmore fight. N. W. King, the ex-city
detective, took exception to being
pointed out by the sporting editor of
the Evening Journal as the man who
had made such holy show OF himself
at the Washington rink, and so stated.
The affair was then dropped. About 9
O'Clock King walked into the place on
Washington avenue, and, finding the
sporting editor there, walked up to
him and struck him in the face. In a
second the pencil pusher had leveled a
gun at MIR. King, who did not pursue
the matter any further. Arrests may
follow. Those who saw the trouble
declare that the attack made by King
was perfectly unwarranted and was
