Very Naughty, Indeed.

A charge of grand larceny is what
keeps G. FL. Smith behind the bars at
the central police station. Patrolman'
Godfrey made the arrest, and the cons
planning witness is Kittie Putnam, pros
prietress of very bad house on lower
Washington street. The Putnam
woman, 1t is said, has always thought
well of Mr. Smith, who is now regis
tered at the central station as crook.
and has even been more than ''sister"
to him. However that may be, he called
at the house early yesterday morning
with party of naughty men, and
speedily got into trouble with Kittie.
The air was filled with rugged and I'M
conventional expressions. beer fumes
and cuspidor or two, and soon Smith
snatched a valuable diamond from Kit
ties alabaster neck. He claims it was
thrown upon the floor, and she claims
that it was stolen. The municipal court
will decide the matter to-day.

Col. Bobleter-Words fail me to ex-
press my Indignation at the st. Paul

permission to attend camp this year.

been pronounced success, and passed
off in style surprising my most wild

Hon. A. K. Teisburg-The Luther
college deserves all the support which
st. Paul merchants can give it, 1t is to
the interest of the city that such instr,

possible.
A. R. Bushnell-With the exception
of the Endicott block. New York Life
and Germania Life all the great build

WITH MILD SPORTS
The Fiery Twin City Socialists
Pass Their Picnic.

The Socialistic Labor party of st. Paul
and Minneapolis held picnic at White
Bear lake yesterday, stopping at Lake
Shore, which was formerly called Cot
tage Park. The event had been looked
forward to by the adherents of that faith
for some time, and they had made ar
rangementS to celebrate the day in good
style. A number of their best speakers,
among the number the well known
working girl, Miss Eva Mcdonald, of
Minneapolis, had been engaged for the
occasion, but at the last moment she
was prevented from coming by meet
ing of the adherents of the eight
hour movement in that city, with
which she has had much to do.
A number of other noted SOcialistic
orators of the Twin Cities had signifed
their intention to be present and thrill
their followers with socilistic doctrine,
but all failed to appear. Aspecial train
brought the Minneapolis contingent
about 10 o'clock. By far the largest
crowd came from the Flour City, about
1000 in all. Those from st. Paul ar
rived on the regular trains from that
city, and there must have been fully
1000 of them, including women and
children. The Normanna band &C
companied the Minneapolis delegation
and enlivened the occasion with LA
Marsellaise" and similar tunes dear to
the hearts of the pioneers.
The people spread their heavy lunch
baskets in the several groves, and moth
ing but Iunching was in order until
1880 p. m. From that hour until 2
o'clock the band gave concert, and the
members visited each other, talked up
their beliefs or bemoaned the hard
times that compel us all to earn our
bread by little Precipitation of the
brow. An excursion on the
lake on the Manitoba filled in
another hour, and it was fully
o'clock before the little programme
was attacked. A Mr.. Marks called the
assembly to order and in few remarks
stated the occasion and the programme.
Dancing was the first thing in order,
and after number had been finished,
l. Pankapf, of West ST. Paul, made an
address ip German. After another
dance Mr.. Pankapf executed very
difficult egg dance. A number of eggs
were placed in two long rows on the
platform, and the performer, blind
folded, danced all over, through, around,
up and down the vacant space between
the eggs. 1t was quite difficult feat,
and the performer was man of about
fifty years of age. He stated that he
was an old German actor, and was the
first man to introduce this feat in
America number of years ago.
Addresses were made by MI. Smart
of Minneapolis, and several others.
The speakers were very moderate IN
their remarks. none OF them using any
inflammatory language. A number of
other sports, such as sack races, chicken
races, the later being participated in by
the ladies, were then gone through
with. Dancing was kept up, until about
train conveyed the Minneapolis MEM
berS home. The crowd was a very Or
derby one, and conducted themselves
about the same as an ordinary picnic
Darty would do.

GOSSIP of THE RAIL.

If the Chicago lines were to adopt the
position that enforced competition with
the lake lines constitutes dissimilarity
of conditions, and that therefore they
are justified in considering themselves
exempt from the operation of section
f." it would have a tendency to heal the
sores and bring about a settlement of
the difficulties now in existence between
them and the lake lines. They should
make out their tariff schedules regard
less of the long and short haul clause,
and thus grease the wheels of traffic
and put an end to this eternal friction.
Legislative interference will before
long play the deuce with some of the
railroads in the Northwest. Demagog-
ism seems to have obtained sway over
many legislatures. When grangers
start out to manage railroads they are
starting on a road which they will ulti-
mately find is full of pitfalls and snares.
1t is folly for state legislatures to act in
the way that of Michigan has just done,
in passing law establishing arbitrary
passenger fares on sliding
scale, based on the earnings per
mile of the roads, ranging from
two to three cents a mile. This practi-
SdllN GWOCCuIo a hlllC ali dlOuHUy
as few roads can afford to keep up
three-cent rate and compete with others
which have a tWo-cent rate. If the ruin
of railroads is the object of the state
legislatures they are going the right
way to achieve brilliant success.
These endless associations are con-
tinually being brought to the surface of
the great railroad stew-pot by ruptures
causing the demise of the old ones. and
10y new ones rising ph9niX-like from
the ashes. An attempt which it is to be
hoped will prove futile is now being
made to inaugurate an international as
ISOLATION of ticket agents. What good
it can accomplish, what money it can
bring into the pockets of the members,
what loss it can save the roads or their
employees is lone of those things that
no fellow can understand" The fact
is that if everybody lived strictly up to
the terms of the agreements entered
into some of these associations would be
of incalculable benefit; but as soon as
railroad or an individual finds it to its
or his interest to break the agreement,
it breaks 1t at once, and says to the
other fellows. "What are you going to
do about it?' The other fellows have
no recourse. and either back down or
the association falls to pieces. In
stances in point are the Transconti-
mental association, the Interstate Com
merce association and the Terminal

Behind our dude walked a sturdlly built
man, whose strongest characteristics
were pugnacIous under jaw, scrub

With the assistance of the Scrubblng-

weary minutes. That period of time did
not, however, include the lecture he re-

A Chinaman evidently thinks as much
of his feet as he does of rata, his living,
or his spouse. The numerous retail
laundries on the back streets of st. Paul
are OftentimeS the scenes of the oddi-
ties of this race. Coming down West
Sixth street the other evening, which
followed the hottest day st. Paul has
ever experienced, one noticed an aged
Chinaman sitting in the doorway of his
Shanty vigorously tanning his feet
from which the sandals had been re-
moved. As the almond-eyed old duck
stopped over to thus treat his under
standings, the PRECIPITATION rolled down
from that voluptuous sorrel brow of his
like a torrent, dripping on the floor,
where the wielder of the fan often
dipped his feet-Drobably to expedite
the cooling process. Just why the

from being overcome by the heat and
suffering his other portions to swelter,
could not be learned that evening with
out attendant risk. Tanning The feet

/ have often thought what a
benefit it would be if the city would
supply some suitable fountains for
drinking purposes in public places,
such as parks. ETC., as the expenditure
would be trif1ing compared with the
convenience it would afford this hot
weather to citizens in general. All
around fountains are playing, looking
very inv iting, but touch-me-nOt as far
as drink is concerned. An enterpriSing
individual has taken advantage of this
fact and established an automatic
nlckel-iD-the-slot machine in Rice park,
and stands by and explains to the ever
eager public its inward workings, and
how it can be opened by anything from
a penny to dime, and the performance
to be gone through with to get the
necessary water Water is one of the
elements that should be free to every
man, and it is disgrace to our preten
tious city to be so far behind the times
as not to provide for this, and that 1t
has to be dealt out at so much per glass.
l have looked for articles In the news
papers OH this subject in vain, and it
would be well to ventilate the matter
more fully. Now, the average laboring
man cannot afford nickel every time
he wants drink, and with beer at the
same price, and inviting saloons around,
he is tempted there when he would not
otherwise be if there were a few free
fountains where he could quench his
thirst. 1 think this is felt want, and
would be greatly appreciated by the

The Fort Smelling Line.

To the Editor of the Globe.
In last Sundays Press 1 noticed that
Mr.. Lowry will construct line on West
Seventh street to Fort Smelling for
bouus of S150,0OO. There must have
been mistake in the figures named,
for MIR. Lowry would hardly have the
audacity to ask $4,000 bonus for eX-
tending the line to such point as Fort
Smelling, where railway would pay
such good returns. Why is it that st.
Paul has no direct communication with
Fort Smelling? This is a matter of i'm
portance to every merchant and bust
ness man in the city. Let us get up
petition to the city council, demanding
that the street railway company shall
build and operate line to Fort Smelling.
If the street railway company will not
do so. then ask tho council to give
franchise to some other company that
will build the line. What is the use of
giving the present city horse car line
large bonuses for extending and build
ing lines of street railway when there
are other parties ready, able and willing
to construct motor lines without any
bonus? Let the city council guard our
interests well, and not allow the citizens
to have heavy tribute laid on them by
the city railway company. Let the
matter be agitated and thoroughly I'M
derStoOd before all the streets are placed
under control of the present street rail-
way company. Respectfully yours,
! MERCHANT.

GREAT GUNS.
Two Heavy Guns Completed For the Nav,
The Largest Yet Made.

Two Heavy Guns Completed For the NAVY
The Largest Yet Made.
WASHINGTON, May 24-The ordnance
bureau of the Navy Department has COM
pleted two of the ten-inch steel
breech-loading rifles for the Monitor
Mianontomwah. They are the largest
and most powerful guns yet turned
out for the navy. One of them
is at Annapolis awaiting trial and
the other has been fully tested with most
gratifying results, as it comDared favor
bly, with the best products of renowned
European ordnance works. The mIzzle
velocity attained was 1000 feet pei
second. The range could not be deter
mined owing to the lack of sufficiently
large proving ground, but it is estimated
at ten miles.
Soon after the contracts are awarded
for the construction of the new $500 tor
gunboats preparations will begin at the
Washington ordnance yard for the manu-
facture of their peculiar ordnance. which
is to be made up entirely IF rapid fire
guns of extraordinary calibers as COM
pared with guns of this type now
in use on the naval vessels. The
largest guns of this kind will be six inches
in caliber, but owing TO the simplicity
and compactness of their mechanism anC
construction they will not materially ex-
coed in weight the inch rifles of the kind
now in use, although they are fully equal
to them in range and accuracy and are
vastly superior in offensive power by rea-
son of their rapid ty of fire.

THE PENSION LIST.
Appropriations For the Current Year-A
Possible Defieiercy

Possible Deficiency.
WASHINGTON. May 24-The Pension
Appropriate act for the current fiscal
year appropriated $50. 400 900 regularly
and IS, 0S0. 600 extra to meet a threatened
deficiency, making the total appro pria-
lions SIS, 10000. This whole amount will
be necessary to meet the demands of men,
sioners, aud it may be that there will be a
deficiency. but it is said at the Pension
Office that there is no truth in the state
ment that sos, 900. 900 will be expended for
pensions during the fiscal year.
b. c. Bell, chief of the agents division
of the Pension Office, who is entrusted
with the duty of seeing to the expendi-
ture of pension appropriations. says that
it is true that the SIS 400. 600 appropriated
for pensions has all been drawn from the
treasury, but that more than SIG. 900, 900 Of
the amount drawn out is in the hands of
the eighteen United States pension agents
with which TO meet the payments which
will fall due June 4. 1t is thought this
amount will nearly suffice until july /,
when the appropriation for the next fiscal
year will become available, though it is
said that some OF the agents may run out
before that
Bell says that the appropriation for the
next fiscal year-SS0, 400 O0Q-is too small
and that there will be a def:ien of
about SIS 001,OO Commissioner Black.
he says, did not ask for enough money to
prevent deficiency even on the basis of
expenditures then existing. The pension
roll at the time the appropriation was
made was, and is still, constantly increas-
ing, so that it is evident that if SIS. 400. O0C
be expended this year $50, 400. 900 for the
next year will BE- wholly inadequate.
