FIRE STATISTICS.

February Made the Department
Hustle.--An Insurance Sugges-
ton.
In spite of the fact that February is
the shortest month in the year and that
1T is one day shorter this year than last.
Chief Stetson's report for the past
twenty-eight days shows that Mime
apolis broke her fire record during that
time. The largest number of alarms
responded to in any one month previous
to the one just past was fOrty-siX in July,
1887. and the records for February, 1889,
show that the fire iaddies have hustled
themselves out to answer fOrty-eight
alarms during the month. Thirty-four
OF these were box-alarmS, and fourteen
stills. The total fire loss was Si9,053,
s.. 13S of which was on buildings, and
S15,915 on contents. The total amount
OF insurance involved was S7l,650,
three-fOurths of which, or $4,000 was
on contents, and S17,O5O on buildings.
Eight of the fires are known to have
been incendiary, and thirteen are re-
corded as chimney fires or as caused by
defective flues. Nearly the entire loss
is confined to three fires, viz: The fire
Ill Fields shoe store on NicOllet
..SA bJSSVlio otiCOCs sO.VOof tiiC
Higgins fire on Second avenue south
and Washington, $4,000, and the
Shapuro fire at oil on Washington ave-
nue.. The distance travelled by the
chief and his two assistants in going to
and from flies was 2974 miles, divided
as follows: Chief Stetson, 1861; As
sistant Runge, 9411s; Assistant Kenney,
81.
Up to the present year the fiscal year
has been from March to March 1, by
reason of which Chief Stetson's annual
report, submitted January ] covers a
period of only ten months. The addi-
ton of 5000, the loss for January 1889,
and $19,053, the loss for February 1889,
to S105, 1000, the loss for the ten months
covered in the annual report gives $780,
los as the total fire loss for the past
twelve months. The number of alarms
during that time was 4sS, which is
greater by slxty-eight than the number
i'll any other year in the history of the
department.
Chief Stetson says that he would pub
licly suggest that insurance companies
exercise more care in placing risks, as
in nearly all the cases of incendiarism
the amount of insurance has been found
to far exceed the value of the property
insured

HOLDS HIS OWN.
A Row Over an Excavation for a
Building.


Building.
There was nice little row on the East
side yesterday, and it all came about
over the tearing down of all old wooden
building preparatory to erecting brick
structure. Talbert & White own the
ground on the south side Of Central av
enue, just above Main street, and yes
terday morning began tearing down the
wooden structures which have Yraced
the street for so long. One building
was owned by one Gowdy, who rented
the ground for Talbert & White. When
he saw what was being done he
promptly rented his candy store to one
Jack Mason, who paid him months
sent in advance. When the men who
were tearing down the buildings came
to the one occupied by Mason he
warned them to desist. On their re-
fusing Mason went to the police. Supt.
Bracket was notified and sent detail
to guard the place until Mason could
get an injunction, restraining Talbert
u White from mOlesting him. This
was soon secured, and then Mason was
gleeful. He detied everyone and said
he would hold the fort until it pleased
him to let go. or until Talbert Il White
bought him of. After a consultation
Talbert & White called off their work
men and decided 10 suspend operations
until this morning. when an exceed
ingly warm time is promised. What
makes the whole affair so ridiculous is
that the building occupied by Mason is
not much larger than good sized

Neil Scuily's benefit at the Pence
pretty comedietta of "Swee thearts''
very bright. Scully as "Solon Shingle''
followed and brought down the house
with his Yankeeisms and search ''fer
that bail of applesass." j. c. Callahan's
song, ITS English, You Know" and
his limitations of Henry Irving were
encored several times, and were. in
fact, even very clever. Mr.. Book s read
ing of ''The Seven Ages of Man." was
perhaps the finest thing on the pro-
gramme. ''Sweethearts'' and ''SOlon
Single" will be the bill for tonight
and tomorrow.
DR.. Carl Leimholtz, at the Hennepin
Avenue theater, tonight gives his lee
ture on his sOjOurn with the cannibal
tribes of Australia, his discoveries, ETC..

The Crystal Slipper; or Prince Pref

tinues to attract crowded houses at the
Grand opera house. Monday night the
elaborate scenery and all the para
phernalia of the piece will be trans
ferred to the stage of the Hennepin
avenue theater, and the Crystal Slip
per Will begin its second weeks stay in
this city. The ''second edition. of the
piece will be presented. This is the
version which attracted so much atten-
ton during the second month of the
run of the piece in Chicago. Many new
features will be introduced, among
them being new ballets, new
songs and dances, and the
"VOOdoo Venus' by Little Itch. 1.-THE
VOOdoo Venus" is regarded by the crit
les as the cleverest work of that funny
little grotesque. 1t will be interesting
to observe whether the citizens of Min
neapolis Will support the enterprise
which inspires theatrical management
in being the first to play such an ex-
pensive attraction as 1.-The Crystal Slip
per" two weeks in this city. A few
years ago Chicago was known as zone
week stand" 1.-THE Crystal Slipper
ran seventeen weeks there this season.
Arrangements are being made to bring
visitors to the Hennepin Avenue the
alter from st. Paul without charge.
The popular comedians, Evans and
Hoey, in "A Parlor Match,'' will no
doubt attract large audiences at the
Grand next week. The seat sale were
open to-day, and there is every pros
pect of large business, from thei n
quiry made for seats even at this early
date.
Tickets for the benefit to Marie Wei

Saturday afternoon and evening, are
selling rapidly.

A BACK NUMBER.
A Newspaper Bill That Was
Strangely Overlooked.

The council committee OH printing at
fits meeting yesterday deferred action in
the matter of bill for $500 OF more
from the Journal Printing company for
binding the required number of copies
of the council proceedings for 1885 and
1856. The committee thought that was
long enough ago so that the bill should
have been presented before. c. A.
Nimochs, the board of trade retrench-
ment artist. who owned the Journal at
the time the work was done, was Oh
hand to explain the delay, but the COM
mittee concluded TO wait for further in
formation.
The committee on underground wires
was billed to meet the ordinance COM
mittee, but as Aid. Bradish, of the ordi-
nance committee, and Aid. Ellingson,
of the underground wires committee,
were absent in Chicago investigating
subway matters. the meeting was adj
journed till 10 o'clock this morning,
when they will probably be present.

BABYISM.

John G. Woolley's babyism seems to
be winning for him the general con-
tempt of the public. His latest whine
is against the newspapers. He writes
to friend:
1.-The newspapers of my home, which.
when | was a drunken lawyer, praised
without stint my efforts in defense of
prostitutes and criminals, and were al
ways considerate of my feelings. now
that L return home sober to clear the
old bad record and help men up to bet
ter things, belittle me, and write me
down contemptuously."
There was certainly more TO respect
in John G. Woolley as a lawyer than as
an eliminate, babyish temperance
crank.

WON'T CALL A DOCTOR.

Coroner Towers Makes Some
Startling Discoveries in His
Rounds.
"You would be surprised" remarked
Coroner Towers yesterday, ito know
how many deaths take place in Mime
apolis without a physician being called
in at all. In all such cases it becomes
the duty of the coroner to make out the
death certificate. Yesterday morning |
was called 10 residence OH Eighth ave-
nue. south, near Eleventh street, where
little girl had just died of diphtherla.
On making few inquiries l found that
during all the time the little one was
i'll the father had not called doctor.
''SOme months ago Corner Hill was
called to house near the rendering
works, where he found that the wife
had died from heart disease. Yester-
day was called to the same place, and
found that the woman's mother, over
eighty years of age. had died from
pneumonia. During the time she was
sick no physician was called, and the
poor woman died almost alone and I'M
cared for 1t seems strange that people
will not called a physician when one is
needed. But as L said, there are any
number of just such cases here every
day."

ACTING LIKE HOODLUMS.
When the question of putting Evans
motion came up Attorneys Byers,
Anctander and few others endeavored
to get the meeting adjourned, but failed.
This was the signal for another wild
outburst, which only quoted down
when l.. Than stood on chair and
said:
This meeting, it was supposed,
would be orderly and decorous. The
chair requests that the members of the
bar be seated. as no business will be
transacted until this room is quiet.''
Cries of "Good," "Good,' THAT'S
right" followed. Evans motion was
put and carried after small riot. The
anti-Fish men opposed it bitterly, but
were defeated by vote of 126 to los.
As soon as the vote was announced
Evans moved to adjourn, thus showing
MS level head. He was not quick enough,
however, for r. s. Stillman was on his

A MISNOMER.
Mr.. Sleep Was Very Sleepy, But
He Woke Up.


He Woke Up.
Another trusted employee has fed tax
ing with him some of his EMPLOYERS
funds. This time it is d. nj. Sleep,
bOokkeeper for t. Jeffrey & Co., carpet
dealers on Sixth street, and 81, 900 is the
amount he flew with. 1t is said that
Sleep took with him young woman
with whom he has been living for some
time past. He began his populations, as
near as can be learned, about Christmas,
when Mr.. Jeffrey went to California.
When Sleep learned. some days ago.
that Mr.. Jeffrey was coming home he
became frightened and left for WinnI-
peg. Mr.. Jeffrey says that Sleep could
have taken much more if he had begun
his stealing earlier.
the Murphy club and Mr.. Jaffrey gave
him a position out of charity. For
quite awhile he behaved himself and
secured the confidence of his employer.
When Mr. Jatfray went away about
Christmas time, he began to drink
again and lapsed into his old habits.
A man by the name of Davis, who
worked for Sleep, was run across by a
GLOBE, reporter last evening and lie
innOcently added little to the romance
of Mr.. Sleep.

was broke, and Sleep, he was mighty
good to me. He took me in and gave
ME a good supper and some warm
clothes, and said he would give lie so
cents night and bed and breakfast
to keep up steam and run the elevator
and such. He used to get awful drunk
sometimes, and sometimes would have
to carry him to bed, he was so paralyzed
with drink. Then there was woman
he used to have come to his room in the
basement. She worked in the Albion
hotel, and was short and an awful ugly
cat. don't see why he had her with
him. Well, then sometimes he had lots
of money on him. | saw him count
out a lot of bills once and put
in his pOcketb0ok. and leave il
loose in his pocket when he was dead
drunk, and l might have stole it easy
enough. Once he showed me a lot of pic
lures. A pretty woman. he said, was his
wife, and five children, he said, were his.
He said they lived in Toronto, and he
showed me picture of big store he
own ed there once. He cried over them
as he put them back in his satchel. He
didn't mean to take this woman with
him, but she saw the tickets he had to
Winnipeg, and followed him to the
depot that night in cab and he had to
take her Or she would have given him
away. What's troubling me is that he
didn't pay me, and now the firm won't,
for they say they didn't hire me. 1
know one thing sure. and that is that
he didn't run off with bit less than
thousand dollars. and / believe he got a
good deal more than that"

LETTER FROM "A FARMERS
WIFE.
LEoNA ALLIANCE, No. l,644,
Long RIDGE, Washington 90.

Long Ridge, Washington Go.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I thought / would
try to write a few lines to let the
brethren know that we are in exis-
tence. Leona Alliance was organized
the 9th day of April with II members
and it now numbers about So. All
seem to be in earnest and are work
ing together with a will. W. have
some very good material In our ALI
ance and three is still good material
in our neighborhood whom we trust
will soon see the good we are striving
to accomplish and be induced to join
our ranks. There are not many of
our members taking The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER at present, but [ hope they
will ere long, as l think it a valuable
paper and it will do much toward the
advancement of the Alliance. Some
Of our brothers went to Williamson
to hear brother Harry Tracy and re-
turned eloquent in their praises of
him. The rain in our section has
caused short crops but we are hoping
for better times in the near future.
We hope to be able this fall to con
tribute something to the business
agency fund. Our Alliance merchant,
brother J. Reed, in Plymouth,
is doing good business and
we are going to do all we
can for him. l understand there are
two merchants also in Plymouth that
say they have $4,000 to spend to
break down the Alliance with, but I
think brother Reed sufficiently able
to hold his own against them, and l
think they had much better save their
surplus to live on when they have to
go to work as they will surely have to
do if l read the signs of the times
Alright. l cannot do much, being only
a woman, but | can watch and pray,
and l would earnestly beg the breth.
e when they put their hands to the
pillow not to look back on account of
the cold; if they do, they will not
reap the harvest we all desire. We
must work and wait, and not grow
discouraged and the glorious time
will come when we poor, downtrod-
den, oppressed sons and daughters of
the soil a rise to the top of the
ladder, our proper place among the
kings of the land, for
Ofan pursuits tina man invents,
The plowman is the best content.
His calling's good, his profits high,
n on them we must all rely.
If, then, the pillow supports the nation,
Men of rank in every station,
Let kings to farmers make a bow,
And every man procure a pillow.
/ will 10 close as I fear l have al.
ready tried your patience. Many good
wishes for your excellent paper. l
will bid you adieu. From a farmers
wife. VIRGINIA f. HARRISON.
