Judge harrington Flatte and family
have removed to their suburban home
out in the Midway district. They thought
it was more aristocratic to maintain a
country home. Miss Aberdeen Flatte
wrote to a Minneapolis friend as fol
lows:
I'VE find our new home delightful.
In summer it is simply grand. We have
every city convenience with every
country charm. | can lOll in my ham
mock and read French novels without
being stared at. Papa finds pleasant
exercise. after his Office work, III walk
ing to tie station"
Judge Flatte has this to say about the
''pleasant exercise"
i've a notion TO give up the blamed
old place. l have to break my meek
twice day to catch a train. and then L
do so miss the club at night"

GIRLS in A sCRAPE.
Minneapolis Maidens Arrested
for Fast Driving.

for Fast Driving.
People get into queer predicaments
at the police station now and then:
Two young girls from Minneapolis, of
bright, prepOssessing appearance. were
detained there for several hours last
night. They were charged with reck-
less driving, While the young ladies'
were sitting in back room considering
the mutability of human affairs, two
youths were hustling round among their
friends IN Minneapolis trying to raise
the $50 necessary to secure the freedom
of the fair ones. Pat Coffee, a Mime
apOllS teamster, was sitting in
lonely cell at the same
time. while his best girl was driving
back to the Flour city sObbing and alone.
The way it came about is explained by
Policeman Tom Lynch. Three gay
youths, with as many giddy best girls,
drove over to st. Paul to see the sights.
Two of the young men left their com
paniOnS TO make call. each leaving
his horse in charge of a young lady. In
the meantime the girls got up horse
race with Coffee on Sibley street, when
they were arrested by the policeman
while cOurSing their SteedS. The girls
gave their names as Maggie Lowering
and Mamie Smith. On returning from
their visit. the youths were not little
surprised to find the girls and Coffee in
durance vile. A plea for leviency would
nOtgO at headquarters, and as the COM
bined wealth of the three young men
footed up only few cents and three
cheap watches, there was no immediate
bail in sight. The girls we've subSe-
quently released, thanks to the efforts OF
their companions, but Coffee will prob
ably interview the police judge.

was about 12 O'clock noon and we had.
about thirty-five miles yet to reach Ola
Caliente. We suffered terribly from
thirst; the sun was hot; we we're tired
out; our feet bliStered and became sore.
We got so dry that we could hardly
talk. We now made but little headway,
but at last we met two Mexicans on bur-
ros. They too were thirsty and didn't
have anything to drink, so we slowly
moved forward until about O'Clock
we came TO ranch kept by an old fish
erman, bachelor who was major dur
ing the war; here we stopped, satisfied
our thirst and asked the major if he
had any place we could lay down for an
hour. My eomrade refused to go any
further, as he was entirely unable to
to move. | thought, too, that II
we could rest all hour and
then strike for the mountains,
we would be safe. The major gave US
a room where we laid down, and locked
us up. We soon fell asleep. We must
have laid there about an hour or so,
when L heard a noise. Looking up to
a window tiiat was covered with an old
piece of canvas, | saw part of the face
of an Indian peeking through hole in
the canvas. In an-instapt | knew we
were surrounded by detachment of
cavalry sent after us, and the Indian
was one of the scouts from the
fort always sent along On such
occasions. I tried to wake my
partner, but he was snoring and
not able to open his eyes. | got
hold of my Winchester and waited for
further developments: / heard whis
pering and soft steps coming nearer the
door. This time L got my partner awake
and acquainted him with the situation,
when at once the door was unlocked
aud thrown open and
SEVEN NIUZZLES OF CARBINES
pointed at us. 1t was a dead drop on
us. | knew every one of the men; they
were from Company c., Ninth cavalry,
colored, and the two Navajo Indian
scouts. The sergeant, calling US by our
names, urged US not to make any trouble
but turn over our rifles. This we did,
as there was no chance to escape alive.
The major looked at US with pity. He
had a revolver in his hand and two
more of them hanging on his section
belt. / found out later that if
we would have fred the first
he would have helped us with his
two Mexican servants. We were
brought back to the post and shackles
put on us, and for three days kept in
solitary confinement. After that we
had to work around the post with other
prisoners. After a few months we were
tried by a general court martial for de-
sertion, pleaded guilty, and as our pre-
viOuS character had been good and we
had never been in the guard house be-
fore for any offense, every officer on
that court gave us an excellent eharac-
ter and recommendation. We were
sentenced to the military prison at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan, for the period of
one year and be discharged from the
army. As we spent seyeraFmonths in
the guard house at Fort Bayard after
sentence was passed upon us, and two
months taken off from our sentence for
good behavior, we only served there five
months l want to state right here that
the prison at Fort Leavenworth is
prison only in name; that we received
better food and better treatment, and
did not work half as hard, as we did in
the company.

Ridden over by a Regiment.

Berlin Dispatch to London Standard.
An extraordinary story is told here of
the miraculous escape of woman and
a little boy at Brieg. During the man
euvers there they gotin front of a regi-
ment of curaSsiers which was riding at
full gallop. 1t was impossible for the
woman to escape and for the soldiers to
halt. The public raised shout of hor-
rOr, thinking woman and child would
be trampled to death, and the foremost
officers called to her to lie down. This
she did, placing the boy underneath her.
The whole regiment rode over her. and
as the horses were ali made to leap over
her she was, to the astonishment of
everybody, unharmed, though for soma
time she was speechless with terror.

COURTESY HAD A LIMIT,
And the Fairy Caused the Arrest
THE Comedian

OF the tom oGlan.
Ada Burnett, a high-rolling fairy who
does song and dance at the Bodega
concert hall, is prone to doubt that be-
nevolence is virtue. }. ii. Howard, a
variety performer who recently trod
the boards at the dime museum, and
who is billed to appear at local theater
this week, does rot appear to be man
of sentiment. While Ada is trying to
settle her mind as to the practice OF
charity and benevoleHee, Howard is
racking his brain behind iron bars at
the central police station to recolleet
what his Sunday-school teacher told him
long, long ago about gratitude. The
facts are briefly stated. Howard is
charged with larceny. having been ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Detective
DAILY, and the complaining witness is
Ada Burnett. They were both guests
at the Carlyle house, at 147 East Sew
enth street, hotel freQuented by pro-
fessional people. One of the peculiar
laws of the road is that actors, from
tragedianS down to low come
dians, have to meet board bills
like ordinary mOrtals. A few
days after Howard's engagement was
concluded at the museum he was not in
a position to meet his to any great ex-
tent, SO rumOr saith. Ada still had a
good job, and Howard hadn't any. One
thing she knew about professional cour-
teSy, and that was that ii would be con-
sidered in poor form for her to allow
one of the ''prOfeSh' to fall to the plane
of vulgar "people" and to work tor
living while the dollars jIngled sweetly
in her own stocking. The result was
that the man ION his uppers" had
plenty to eat, had good clothes
to wear and made very good appear
ance. In fact, any one might have
taken him for the the owner of brew

fairy put up the necessary hard cash,
and certain il is that they were very in

tied with having broken many a jovial
bottle together. Other rumors were
circulated, but they need not be re-
peated. The dream ended, as all dreams
do. Ada awOke yesterday morning
and found that she had been de-
ceived. False mani he had gone, and
she was mILus a gold watch and chain,
a diamond ring, a bracelet, and about
$50 in coin of the realm. There was no
hope for her. The police had to be APP
pealed to, and professional courtesy had
TO be laid aside until Actor Howard was
safely lodged behind the bars. Ada's
wounded affection will heal, but she
will be very lucky if her property is re-
covered. The scene of the next act of
this interesting drama will be in Judge
Burr's police court, with red lights and
a slow curtain

FREAKS OF TIE TYPE.

The curious bulls and annoying blum
ders frequently committed by the types
have been so often animadverted upon
that the subject is a trifle musty; yet it
occasionally chances that these bulls
are so ou1re as to challenge attention.
For instance, in the Interview yeSter-
day with Miss Hbhey. the bright young
novelist. the types said "her morals
were wholesome" This is entirely
true, but superer0gat0fy. W hat was
written was that ''ier novels were
wholesome" which is equally true.
n
Speaking of type freaks recalls an in
cfdent that occurred during the year
that provoked no little merriment at the
time. A GLOBE reporter was describ-
ing some incident connected with the
warehouse commission, aud had Occa-
sion 10 BASS deserved compliment TO
ex-Gov. Austin, concluding by saying
he was the most leyel-headed man on
the commission. But picture the dis
pair of tile reporter when the types
coolly announced next morning that
Gov. Austin was the most bull-headed
man on the commission? The gentle
man alluded to saw the want of inten-
ton, aud took it with characteristic
good nature.

The Associated Press reports fre-
duently come in very abbreviated style,
and printer on the Pioneer Press once

gress, and a line Of the report intend

appeared next morning, after run
ming the gauntlet OF the pro0freader,
''goat i'll a carriage" Neither plans
nor specifications accompanied 1t.
When Mrs. Cleveland passed through
St. Paul, two years ago, the types re-
fiected seriously on her beauty in a
ludicrOuS kind of way, saying some
thing like this; Mrs. Cleveland was
presented with large and beautiful
bouquet. which she miSiaid, greatly to
her regret. She had a dill gent search
made, and it was finally discovered III

flowers were found, OF course, in the
forward part of the car, which was

TRAVELLED WITH EYES OPEN
What a South st. Paul Man Saw
in the East.

Union Telegraph Office at South St.

native home. While there he saw that
Swift & Co. have bought additional
property at Brighton, Mass, and have
greatly increased their slaughterlng
establishment at that point. Many OF
the best beeves of the West are received
there and are either dressed or shipped
alive to England and the continent. OF
course large proportion of the beef
dressed at Brighton is used by con-
SumerS in the Eastern states. The prin-
eipal firms engaged in the live stock
business there are the SwifIs, Nelse
Morris, and Hollis & Co. These,
together with other concerns han

1000 head of beeves per day. lie
saw 5000 head Of sheep slaughtered i'll
one afternoon. In New York he found
the people very confident of securing
tine worlds fair, and prompt to explain
how their facilities for housing and
feeding a vast assemblage give them
preference in the eyes of those who
have in mind the expected multitude OF
foreign visitors. But at Chicago he
found the pOpulace excited on the Ques-
ton, and every one, from top to bottom
ana side to side of society, energy. influ-
ence and wealth, ready to meet any OBJ
stacle of distance or expense in order to
bring the colossal exhibits and millions
of visitors to their city. He had very
pleasant trip, especially at st. Louis,
and in returning to his post to-day he
does so with renewed physical force
and an intense realization of the mag
netic progress of the entire country.

MEN WE MEET.

Jim Pond is back. He is in all re-
spects the same old jim who went away
more than a month ago. Only there are
ten pounds more Of him. While away
he bought a new musical instrument,
made in the style of a either, only ali
the wires are numbered. The music is
all written in numbers and any one can
play it. He practices on it every mOrn-
ing, noon and evening, and is having his
residence connected by telephone with
his Office so that he can have it played
at home and feast his ears upon the
luscious melody while Issuing half-fare
passes to cleTgym@n. He says he first
heard the instrument while buying a
cigar in Washington. Some fellow was
playing 1t in New York and a telephone
was bringing the music over the inter-
Vening states and territories. He says
it was SO entrancingiy lovely that he
planked down his good hard-earneG stuff
and bought one. He plays it i'm the
lonely watches of the night, and the
neighbOrS all say they have been Won

say that jim Pond does not sing when
he plays it. For this the neighbors are
thankful.
