GOODBYE.

eof. falls the moonlights slvery rays,
Gli,tening-the crest Of the wavelets dancing;
Fair is the maid, by the shore, who strays,
Gladuess and hope from her blue eyes glancing
Now she is nearing the trysting tree,
Soon her true love she's fondly greeting.
Little she thinks as the moments nee,
This is to be their farewell meeting.
Sad would the heart be, oh, bitter the sigh,
Could we know when we're bidding last good.
bye
No longer the moonbeams gild the tide,
Athwart the sky is the lightning cleaning.
The youth has sailed from his promised bride;
Safe in her home she is sweetly dreaming,
No dread forebodings disturb her sleep;
Peaceful she rests on her snowy pillow;
Her love the while, where the surges sweep,
Lies cold and still meath the foaming billow.
Sad would the heart be. oh, bitter the sigh,
Gould we know when we're bidding last good
bye.
All through our lives we are dropping friends,
Bidding goodbye without thought of grievng,
And dark the shadow each parting lends
To the end OF life we are defty weaving;
In that land of light whore now shadows rest
LIES end complete, and our labors ended,
We shall find our lives had not been blest
Had the shadows ne'er with the sunshine
blended.
All, grieve not, dear friend, have no bitter sigh;
To the faithful and true there is no goodbye.

Who "The Duchess" Is, Where She Liyes
and How She Works.


and How She Works.
"Who is The Duchess'p" is ques-
ton asked by the thousands who read
the novels of this remarkably popular
writer. And perhaps never has a
nom deplu'ne more completely screened
the identity of its owner. 1.-The Ouch
ess'' is really Mrs. Margaret Hunger
beauty in Ireland's famous county
Cork. She is an Industrious woman,
and writes complete novel with more
ease than many of us would exercise in
writing short article. She is domes-
tic in her nature, and dislikes to talk
about her work. Her modesty is pro-
verbal among her friends, and many
of her neighbors in the little Irish town
where she lives are ignorant of the fact
that "Madame Hungerford, as they
call her, is the author of the novels
that lie on their tables. She rarely asso-
ciates her personal self with her liter
AIRY nom de plasnle in her correspond
ence with friends or strangers. The
authoress, in years, is past middle
age, but retains a youthful appearance.
She is fond of children, and their little
characteristics are often incorporated
in her stories as she sits writing at her
window, watching them at their play
on the lawn beneath. 1t is estimated
that more copies of her novels have
been sold than of those OF any living
writer. Any new story by her is al
ways sure of wide reading on both
sides of the sea. OF what is generally
regarded as her most popular story,
phyllis" more than a quarter of a
million copies have been sold. Her
literary work X brings her neat income,
enabling her to live in comfort. She
has been twice married, her present
domestic relations being of the happi-
est nature. Edward w. Box, in Ladies'

CANNON TO BIZ SPEAKER.

Congressman Springer Thinks the
Illinois Candidate Will Win.
Congressman William NJ Springer, of
Illinois, whose familiar title of BILL
Springer" has done something in addi-
ton to his we'll known Independent and
out-spoken political methods to make
him quite famous parsonage, was in
Minneapolis yesterday few hours be-
fore going to Lake Minnetonka with his
family. MI. Springer was entertained
here by Thomas Lowry, who is an old
time friend, but found time to talk a
little on politics to newspaper men. On
the speakership of the national house
Mr.. Springer gave it as his opinion that
Joseph Y. Cannon, of Illinois, would be
chosen by the Republicans. Reid,
of Maine, he believed, would
meet opposition from Blaine and
shouldered aside by the administration
for fear he shall become too formula
BILE rival of President Harrison in 1892.
The latter he expects to see renomi-
mated, though Alger, Cullom, Sherman,
Mckinley and Judge Gresham would
push him at lively rate. Cleveland he
considers easily the Democratic favorite
at present. but Hill will be a formidable
candidate before the convention is held.
and John M. Palmer, of Illinois, too, if
he succeeds in displacing Cullom from
the senate next year. The next session
of congress, he expects, will be lively,
especially if an attempt is made to pass
the national election bill.
In regard to the opening of the Sioux
reservation lands Mr.. Springer said that
toissue his proclamation and make them
eligible for settlement.

cided that no lady attendants will be

Whether his course is wise or not re
mains to be seen. There is no doubt
that some of the pretty dears got very
bold and really bad last year, but
whether it will be profitable to shut
them out this year on that account is
another question entirely. A display of
fancy work under the management of
an aged matron and two boys will hardly
prove as attactive to the average man as
the same exhibit displayed and artistic

taper fingers, laughing eyes and smile

With Elmer Foster in the captaincy
the Minneapolis team becomes more
and more of home institution. Elmer
is Minneapolis boy who has lived here
a great many years. He has had a
good many ups and downs IN base ball.
His greatest up was when Mutrie
offered him $4,000 to play with the New
York Giants, and his greatest down
was when the New YOrks released him.
Still, the season he played in the league
was a great education to him. He
learned a great deal about base run
ming. coaching and the tactics of base
ball. His career as a captain in Mill
neapolis promises, from these causes,
to be great success.
He is hitting the ball hard. eating up
everything that comes into center field
and running bases like a steer in the
corn, and he won't have to ask his men
to do anything he can't do him self.

An exhibit which is bound to attract
much attention is the Riggs Electric

genious continuance whereby an open
switch, burned OF open bridge, or the
approach of another train will ring a
bell in the cab of an engine and warn
the engineer ahead long before he has
reached it, and in ample time for him to
stop. The exhibit is perfect miniature
of a section of track with switch, cross
ing, draw-bridge, stationary bridge,
grades, etc., and three model locomo-
tives are made to run upon it, llluStrat-
ing all the various emergencies in which
the system would save lives and prop

gradually recognize him by his clothes,
or the sound of his voice. The persecu-
ton he has since been subjected to has
been simply appalling. Requests to
borrow his face for use at dog fights;
inquiries as to whether his face does not
ache, and how it was broken, have
greeted him on all sides. If he APP
peared to take hand at hearts, every
body would quit playing. so they could
say his face stopped the game. When
that mustache grows out again it will

rather by Frank Hill, late of the Hotel
Ardmore. under the direction of Mr..
Taylor. The electric cooking apparatus
is the invention of c. E. Carpenter, of
this city, and is the first practical electric
cooking and heating apparatus ever
constructed. Patrons of the expo res
taurant will be served with coffee, grid
die cakes, steaks and chops all cooked
by electricity, and it is quite likely that
an oven for baking by electricity will be
added later. This will be the first time

A REVENUE LICENSE.

The Claim Raised That the En-

/ Excessive.
I W. S. Moore & Co., employmentagents
at 119 Nicollet, have sued the city to re-
cover the license of $50 paid for the
privilege of carrying on the business of
an employment agency. The claim is
made in the complaint that the charter
gives the city the right to license and
regulate the business, but that in fixing
"a license fee of $50 the city has eX-
ceeded its authority, and is really rails
ing a revenue from the agencies to re-
plenish the city eXchequer. Six other
firms in the same business are about to
bring suits involving the same point
within few days. 1t is likely that
stipulations will be entered into to make
the Moore case test. Messrs. Herle
and Rees, who have undertaken the
case for Moore & Co.. will make a spe-
cial point on the revenue aspect of the
license.
