TEMPERANCE TAKERS.
Women Resent Opposition to
Their Work.

A small boy attempting to lift girl
twice his size, toppled beneath the bur-
den and fell with the weight upon him.
AS he disentangied himself and slowly
rose to his feet, making a desperate
effort not to cry, a spectator asked:
.s'Did she hurt you, Julius?" NO" re-
piled julius, ruefully rubbing his arm,
s'she did not hurt me. but she hurt my

distinction the ladies of the w.

SOCIAL STATES MANsHIP.
An Elaborate Dinner Given by
Senator Whiteman.


Senator 4. J. Whiteman, of Duluth,
rendered a complimentary dinner to
Gov. and Mrs. Merriam and Speaker
and Mrs. Graves at the Ryan last even
ing. The affair was thoroughly devoid
Of ostentation, and was graceful com-
pliment by the young senator from st.

and set pieces and cut flowers combined
to produce an artistic and pleasing eff

gastronomic nicely, and the melodious
strains of Prof. Will's orchestra, sta
toned in an adjoining room, proved'a
pleasing aid to the feast. At the cor
clusion of the dinner the ladies adj
journed to one of the parlors. which was
used as reception room, while the gen
tlemen fingered over their cigars ana
indulged in desultOry talk. ChivalrOus

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
A Christening That Ended in a
Fatal ARRAY.

The case of the state VS.. Andrew
Safar, indicted with John Pitzer, Joseph
Runsky. Michael Chisack. Michael
Rasansky and John Kazola, for murder
in the second degree, was called for
trial before, Judge Kelly yesterday
afternoon, but up to hour of adjourn
ment a jury had not been chosen.
Safar was one of the crowd of b.
hemians living in the flats near uptown
bridge. who killed Frank kohout in a
drunken row. The crime, with which
the persons are charged, was committed
one night last December. K0hout was
attracted by the sounds Of revelry in
Joseph Runsky's house. Proceeding to
ascertain the cause of the hilarity he
knocked at Runsky's door and COM
manded those within. who were
celebrating a christening of a
newborn babe, to desist in
their boisterouS mirth or he would dis
patch them at once. At this the men
and women left the scene of the chri St
ening, met KOhout outside and all
assaulted him. One of the defendants,
it is said, felled Kohout to the earth
with large fence post, crushing his
skull. His wife, upon coming to his
ItSCut, was dlou utulS Cu1 up. Nouout
was removed to his home and died two
days thereafter. Every one implicated
in the row was arrested. and the grand
jury found indictments against the six
men arraigned yesterday.
The widow, with her daughter and
son-in-law, were in the court room at
tentively watching the proceedings of
impanneling the Jury. About fifteen
Bohemian women and children held
down the seats in corner of the room.
and culiously watched the process of
the law upon their fellows. Each de
feDdant will be tried separately. and the
case will probably be long and tedious
affair.

Many improvements will be made at
the Minnesota Transfer as soon as the
weather will permit the ground to be
broken. The company owns ninety
miles of trackage, and if the future may
be judged by the past, it will not be
long before it is alt utilized. Last year
ten miles of new track were put down,
ID. M. Sullivan, superintendent at the
transfer has made known to the COM
mittee having in charge the improve
ments, the needs tor the current
season. His recommendations will be
complied with, and the necessary facili-
ties and alterations for the handling of
the increased business will be made.
Supt. Sullivan recommends that five
miles of new track be laid. and that the
round house be enlarged so as to
have from eight to ten stalls.
Three new engines will be necessary
for switching, and freight house 600
feet in length would be adequte for the
sorting and transfer of freight. A large
volume of freight and proportionate
number of cars are handled each day.
The present facilities are not cOmmen-
surate with the growth OF the business,
which is monument to the enterprise

TWO NEW JUDGES.
Preferences of Members of the
Bar,


The general topic among the members
of the legal profession is the exposition
of their preference for the Office about
to be created by the bill now in the seE-
ate and soon to be submitted to the gov
ernor-providing for two additional
Judges for the district bench. The con-
sensus of expression points decidedly in
favor of young or middle-aged judges,
and following up such preferment the
names of able practitioners who could
assume the office with rare zeal and
ability have been mentioned. 1t is con-
ceded that Col. Kerr will occupy one
seat upon the bench should the COVER
nor's appointments be influenced by the
unanimous recommendation of the bar
of Ramsey county. The younger men,
bers of the fraternity want to be repre-
sented by one of their number approved
by majority of the older members.
j. W. Willis is among those who is
universally spoken of as a fit and
worthy person for the office. Judge
Egan is also favorably mentioned. l..
NJ. Villas is in great favor with every
member of the bar, all OF whom regret
that he would in all probability decline
the honor, as he did on several former
occasions when rendered the supreme
iudgship of Wisconsin.

ambition has not been permitted to go
beyond the proper field for her genius,
and she is to-day what she was
in childhood, an eminent success.
She is a charming little SOU
brette with coy manners, a sweet voice,
petite. graceful, piquant, and in every
way fitted for the leading role in bur-
lesque opera. ''Monte Cristo, Jr.," is
a mixture of opera and high variet Y,
elaborately staged and splendidly cos
ffumed. With the exception of the in
terpolated tramp song and scene from
''Erminie" the music is original, bright
and melOdiOus, the opera being filled
with pretty solos and duets. A great
many specialties are worked in. and all
of most excellent type. The company
eis exceptionally strong, there being
more good comedians in it than are
usually found in one cast. Corinne is
the bright particular star around whom
cluster this really excellent cOmbina-
tion of operate artists. She sings
fkeen sense of humor, and is
possessed of that peculiar magnetic
force which wins to her every heart in
the audience. One feature of the per-
formance is that everything attempted
is done in the best possible style. the
military movements of the female Hus-
sars was one of the best executed drills
ever seen on stage in this city. The
dancing elephant, Bolivar, makes a
splendid attraction, the male ballet
dance was as unique as it was humor-
Gus, sand so in all the specially work
the highest standard is maintained.
Those who love an evening of real fun,
and at the same time can enjoy delight
full music, will find no better entertain
ment than cute little COrinne's show.
The same bill every night this week
and Saturday matinee.
The advance sale of the Cecilian
Opera company's production of
Patience" next Monday and Tuesday
evenings will open at the box Office of
the Newmarket this evening.
: For the information of the curious we
have it from official sources that Corinne
is just sweet sixteen and ''a jolly good
chap all around"
AT the Saturday matinee all ladies
and children attending will be presented
with the life of Corinne as souvenir.

Poring over a ponderous ledger and
ever and anon checking figures in be-
wildering array two young men sat in a
square wire netting compartment in a
popular dry goods emporium on East
Seventh street. All around them busy
clerks attending to the wants of i'm
patient customers, made a din and tur-
moil which rendered the inspection of
the long columns of figures anything
but an easy task for the two account
ants. The elder of the pair, Clarence
W. Cox, scarcely looked thirty-siX years
of age, as he claimed, and his round,
smooth. boyish face was indicative of
the genial character of one who is MAX
ing a success in the business world. His

MADE HIS MARX.

"Where [ came FROM" said G. A.
Kahn as he ran his fingers through
luxuriant black side whiskers, ''the first
of May is regarded as moving day, but
in the West people are more progress
i've. Everythingis put ahead of Eastern
customs, and this may account for a de-
termination on the part of the Werner
Millinery company to seek additional
quarters the first of March. For num-
Der of Years Mr.. Kahn was knight of
the grip for several Eastern houses and
while out on the road he enjoyed the
reputation of being one of the jolliest
members of that fraternity. But he
tired of travelling and about three years
ago was united in marriage to Mrs. Wer-
ner, of this city. Business is written
in every line of the face of the present
manager of the firm and his tact and
energy have made him conspicuous
figure in the ranks of pushing go-ahead
citizens who are doing so much to boom
the great Northwest.
