DONATIONS WANTED.

The sisters in charge of ST. Francis
hospital will be thankful for some under
wear for poor men.
The colored man, George Caldwell, who
was sent to the hospital in dying condi-
ton, is now quite well, and the sisters
hope some charitable family will give him
employment. He seems a willing, poor
boy, and it will be a great charity to give
him chance to earn a living; otherwise
he must starve, as he did before he was
sent to the sisters.
SISTER MARY IGNATIUS.

schedule time he could easily learn) and
upon hearing the bells of the street car
mules on Fairview avenue two men in
vehicle could have started down Arkansas
avenue from a grove above Mr.. Browns
home at such gait as to meet and go by
him, shortly after he left the car, without
ever causing a pedestrian to once look
back at the vehicle which had just
passed and from which there
might have alighted without its stopping;
the person who slipped up behind MI. Brown
and dealt him that more than likely fatal
blow before the victim, with his high FUR
collar turned close about his ears, was
aware of the presence of any one. The
blow struck. the work of loading the body
Of a man weighing only 135 pounds would
not be difficult matter for two men, who
could. as they drove along, deprive their
victim of his valuables, until place had
been reached where the body could be
buried, sunk in the river, or IN
some manner put out Of sight for
ever, or at least long enough to
let the murderers escape, because any
professional would know that no search
for the perpetrators would be suggested
until the body had been recovered and by
that time they could make their escape
Should the body not be found, the lewelry
could be disposed of at distance without
fear of molestation, for the body itself
would, as before said, be the only prima
facia proof of murder.
The nearest probable place of such
character is the deep water OF the Little
Arkansas river. some two miles further
north, caused by the Lewis, dam which
cuts out part of this stream into Chisholm
creek. Here the water would be amply
deep. and many think that when this
place is dragged. as it viii be today. the
body will more than likely be found.

day the King asked him II he understood
the Spanish language. ''No, sire" was
the answer. THAT ia unfortunate" ("
said the King. The nobleman at once
conjectured that the King wished to
make him Ambassador 70 Madrid, and,
employing a teacher, he forthwith ap-
piled himself day and night TO acquir-
ing the language. At last, pale and ex-
hausted, but with satisfied, expectant
look upon his face, he came to the King
with the announcement: "Sire, can
now speak Spanish" ''Do you under
stand it well enough TO converse intelli.
gently with SpaDiard?" "Yes, sire, -

ton Into Prime ShoetlnR.
The cotton used is bought at various
Southern points 1t arrives here in cars.
On its arrival the bales, which contain
about 500 pounds each OF cotton, are put
in a building ad djoining the picker room;
this Is called the mixing room. The
cotton Is first run through the willow.
where number Of toothed cylinders,
revolving $500 revolutionsa minute. re-
move most of the dust. It next goes
through fine picker where still more
dust is removed, then it goes through
tho finishing picker where it Is rolIei up
into laps. This machine Is regulated by
an ingenious governor 80 that the laps
are OF uniform size. The laps of cotton
pass on to the card room where the fiber
Is disentangled, brushed and combed,
then 1t Is deposited in beautiful feeces
on an endless belt, which conducts it
to the railway head, where the straight
ened fiber Is contracted into
narrow ribbon and is deposited
in revolving can ready for the next
process. The cards which stralghten
the fibre Of the cotton are clothed with
needle-pointed wire which are kept
sharp, being ground by an automatic
grinder, a machine which has Welded
its inventor good many dollars. The
grinder Is attached to card in tho
morning and by night has It, ground
sharp. From the railway head the cot
ton goes to the drawing frames, and
when 1t has passed through two Of them
the twelve strands have been merged
into one. Automatic fingers stop these
machines on the breakage of any one of
the strands. 1t next visits the coarse
speedcr which very swiftly winds in on
:cbbins, and then the fine speeder which
twists together two strands from the
coarse speeder. One half Of the cotton
from the speeders goes to the spinning
mules, where rapid revolving spindles
twists 1t into thread, winds IL into a COP
ready for the weaver. The other half goes
TO the eighteen spinning frames where it
is spun on bobbins ready for the spoilers,
the girls working at the spoilers run
the thread off of the bobbins on to large
spools. Three hundred and sixty of
these spools are placed in q warper and
with whirl arc made to take their
place on q large beam, six of these
beams are next taken TO the slasher a
machine that was built in England and
imported TO this country. When the
thread is passing through the slasher 1t
Is treated TO boiling starch, which is
called sizing After passing through
the sizing it energies from the slasher
onto beam one yard wide, which. when
filled, holds 2, 100 threads, each $40 yards
long. These are then harnessed by hand,
making a complete warp ready for the
loom. These beams are then taken to
the weave room, where there are 132
looms making deafening noise weav-
ing into the warp the cop thread from
the spinning mules. From the loom the
cloth goes to the fnishing-room-from
there to the folder, and after being

ONE OF TWO THINGS.

Great is retrenchment! The Repub-
iicans who previous to election raised
the cry of extravaganza against the
Democratic city administration, and
who have brayed long and loud, "Sal-
aries must come down." are now in an
unenviable plight. After numerous
chamber meetings, long debates,
and much twisting and turning,
they have managed to cut down
the total amount of salaries
paid city officials just about $1,000, and
in so doing have been obliged to eX-
hibit parsimony that must be humili-
ating. The signal failure to economize
convicts the Republicans of one of two
things-either the Democrats were very
nearly as economical as was possible.
and the cry of extravaganza was lie
pure and simple, or else the Repub-
licans are failing to keep their promise
of retrenchment to the people. They
can have either horn OF the dilemma.

1t was authoritatively stated last even
ing that the Hennepin Avenue theater
has finally been leased to p. IL. Harris,
the well-known Eastern manager. The
length of the lease and the terms could

sumo possession early IN the spring.
Messrs. Merrill & Phelps have been

the lease when the supposed sale OF the
theater to James a. McGeagh by Z. N.
