There seems to be no falling off in the popular desire to have the worlds fair in Chicago, if the daily reports of subscriptions received indicate public sentiment. Before the capital stock was increased to S10,000, ,OO0, the executive committee first ascertained that the subscriptions then turned into head quarters aggregated over $4,000,OO0. Since that time several s100. .O0O and $50, ,0O0 sub- scriptions have been received, which, added to the general subscriptions of smaller amounts, bring the grand total up to nearly q '

Many Mexican Soldiers Killed by .YaQuf
 Indians.
 A dispatch from Sonora, Mex, says that two companies of Mexican soldiers were caught in swimming by Yaqui Indians, and all of them slaughtered. The number of men killed is not known, but so far not one of the two companies has returned to tell the tale. The bodies of the soldiers were found terribly mutilated and stripped of all clothing and yaluables. The Mexican government has sent 4000 men against the Indians, who are believed to bs rapidly retreating toward Arizona.

Decision Tavors Portland.

The case of Lincoln Bank at Bath ct al., in equity vs. Portland & Ogdensburg railway, has been decided by the supreme court. When the mortgage was foreclosed and the new corporation of the Portland and Ogdensburg railway was formed, 24,s4O shares of new stock were issued to the city. Minority bondholders claimed that 2S35 of these shares were illegally issued, and petitioned the court to restrain the issue of the same. The decision of the court sustains part of the issue, amounting to $155,610, and restraints the issue of the remainder, amounting to $127,S90. The effect of the decision is to increase the income of the city by the lease of the road to the Maine Central 8 little over $3OO0 annually.

He was em- ployed by the Warren Union Telegraph Com pany, and presented terrible sight as he died on the network of wires in mid air, while the deadly fluid actually made his body sizzle and the blood pour down to the side walk and over the clothes of the mortified spectators.

from these pictures, he will not succeed as well as the artist who starts out and dashes the dew from the grass and sees the morning just as God built it in the clouds, or poured it upon the mountain, or kindled it upon the sea. People wondered why Turner. the famous English painter, succeeded so well in sketching a storm upon the ocean. It re- mained 8 wonder until it was found out that several times he had been lashed to the deck in the midst of a tempest and then looked out upon the wrath of the sea, and coming home to his studio, he pictured the tempest. It is not the copyist who succeeds, but the man who confrontS the natural world. So if man in literary composition resolves that he will initiate the smoothness of Addi- son, or the rugged vigor of Carlyle, or the weirdness of Spenser, or the epigrammatic style of Ralph Waldo Emerson, he will not succeed as well as that man who cultures his own natural style. What is true in this re- spect is true in respect to character. There were men who were fascinated with Lord Byron. He was lame and wore very large collar. Then there were tens of thousands of men who resolved that they would be just like Lord Byron, and they limped and wore large collars, but they did not have any of his genius. You cannot successfully copy a man whether he is bad or good. You may t. ke the very best man that ever lived and try and live like him, and you will make a failure. There never was better man than Edward Payson. Many have read his bi- OSIdPuS, HOt tLdt ut NdS II sick man, and they thought they were grow ing in grace because they wefe growing like him in depression of spirit. There were men to copy Cowper, the poet, glorious man, but sometimes afflicted with melancholy almost to insanity. The copyists got Cow
 per's faults but none of his virtues.
 There never was but one Being fit to copy. A few centuries ago he came out through humble surroundings, and with a gait and manner and behavior different from anything the world had seen. Among all classes of people he was a perfect model. Among fish ermen, he showed how fishermen should act. Among taxgathers, he showed how tax gathers should act. Among lawyers. he showed how lawyers should act. Among farmers, he showed how farmers should act. Among rulers, he showed how rulers should ac4. Critics tried to find in his conversation or sermons something unwise or unkind or inaccurate: but they never found it. They wntehed him, oh how they watched him! He nsvw went into house but they knew it,

 It is not often, says the Lewiston Journal, that whole picture of domestic woe is so vididly brought to public gaze as was the case in BIddeford one night recently when a by stander succeeded in arresting a woman's steps just as she was about to jump into the the river. Just at that minute the woman's husband appeared on the scene. and, with an oath. remarked: "Why didn't you let her jump! Eve got tired of her." No wonder the poor woman preferred the river to her home!
 Two Hallowell Me-, sportsmen saw an interesting family in the Cobbosseecontee stream the other day. They suddenly found who were as playful as kittens, diving and coming to the surface again, swimming around the boat and looking up to it with eyes that did not betray the least suspicion of danger. For some minutes the gentlemen watched their manGuvres until two old musk rats made their appearance. The latter came out from the shore and dove with a splash that seemed to be the signal for the younger ones to follow, which they quickly did,

TWO EX-PARTE VIEWS.

A carload of lump-jawed cattle ar
rived from st. Paul this morning, billed
to the city butchers, Hess Bros. The
cattle were billed so as to be switched
directly to their slaughter house on
Fortieth street, but Inspector John Nc
Donald caught them. He followed
them to the slaughter house, where they
were Immediately unloaded. He asked
the foreman what he was going to do
with them, when he replied, Kill them
right away" Mr.. Mcdonald told him
not to be IN too much haste, and or
dered the cattle reloaded and put in
charge of an officer to await the arrival
of the state veterinarian, who will
doubtless condemn them.-Chicago

shipper made was in not consigning
them direct to the large dressed beef
neil, instead of a local butcher. Then
those citizens in the northern part of
the state, who are DESTROYS of having
meats from outsiders could have. had
them shipped back here again. In con-
v~erSation with Aid. Gahan and Mayor
Denney, members of the board of
health, and Inspector Judson, these
gentlemen stated that lump-jaw cattle
or any other diseased, were sent to the
rendering establishment upon their ar
rival in the yards. OF course this car
of cattle may have been shipped from
the Transfer, but if it was, it certainly
proves that the meat inspection law
of Minnesota is not a failure.-South

BECOMING AN ART CENTER.
The Science Looking Up and a
Local Academy Projected,

LOCdl hCduCsIy T.
st. Paul is becoming a metropolis
more and more. Although it has had
many able artists of all kinds, yet it
was lacking an academy in which gifted
and talented young men and women
could receive a thorough, systematic
and academical training as painters and
draughtsmen. 1t certainly cannot be
said that any first-class pupil can obtain
all that is necessary to make him
a master in the arts of Rubens, Van
Deyke, ETC., in any art school in
America; for this he needs to see the
original works of these masters, and
Europe, but it is necessary fol a pupil
to be prepared for these European train
ings and for this purpose we have now
in this city an art academy.
About eleven years ago a young, poor
boy named Julius Segall. whose draw
ings created quite a sensation among
the connoiSseurs of Milwaukee. left that
city and went to Munich, Germany.
After a hard struggle he succeeded
in drawing upon himself the attention
of Prof. Strelmber, of the world
renowned Munich academy of arts, who
saw eminent talent in young Segall,
and took him in as a pupil. After one
year the young man left Prot. Strelm-
Der with the first diploma of his class,
and became the pupil of Prof. Gabel,
the celebrated painter. From there he
succeeded to forge ahead by means of
his talent, perseverance and industry,
and now he can show-b Jack upon a path
of triumph. His pictures, Christ in
the Temple" Hamlet" king Lear"
ETC., have created sensations as the
works of such a young man as Segall is,
and serve as the best reference as to
his abilities.
A few days ago Mr.. Segall came to
this city and rented rooms for the pur-
pose of establishing an art school. His
past record proved the justice of his
claim that he will succeed in giving
the preliminary artistical education to
every young talented person prepare
tory and essential to their entering the
European high art schools.

DiCTU!
Natural Gas Enough to Fill a Bag
Discovered Here.

Think of Unnatural gas has been dis
covered in st. Paul! The secret is SO
precious that a dark veil is drawn over
the identity of the discoveries, and IN
til the usual further developments"
the exact locality of the find must also
continue in. darkness. The discovery
has, however, been made-the gas itself
has been seen gurgling above
twenty feet of water. With the
aid of an old tub, a
twenty-foot pole and an iron tip, a
quantity of the gas has been imprisoned
in a leather bag. A company of gentle
men were invited to gather round this
bag, when the gas was lighted and it
burned brightly without the slightest
odor. This is not the first discovery of
natural gas in st. Paul, but in all
previous cases the operations for work
ing the same had to be abandoned, as it
was of so limited a quantity. In the
present case the discoveries will inves-
tigate to see whether there is a sufficient
supply to warrant opening out the vein.

A Flying Train Hurls a
Woman From the
Track,
And filings Her Over a Fence
Without Hurting
Her.
A Damage Suit That Will
Test the Limited Ticket
Case.
Various Matters Which Re-
lieved the Monotony Of a
Sunday.

Mrs. j. W. Coughlin, the wife of a la
boring man living On Blair street, near
Western avenue, had an exciting eXpe-
rience yesterday afternoon, barely es-
Gaping death in one of the most Pc
culiar accidents that has been reported
in st. Paul for many days. She
was walking along the Manitoba
track, at a point where it
curve towards the city. Her ears were
covered by a large sunbonnet and she
did not hear the train as it came tearing
around the curve near Como. at a speed
of forty miles an hour, or the whistle
that was blown to warn her of the
danger. The train could not be stopped,
II as the engineer reversed steam he
closed his eyes to avoid the awful
sight that appeared Inevitable. The
train stopped within 800 feet, but it was
to. late. Striking the woman in the
back with terrific force, the engine
threw her from the track owe a barbed
wire fence, standing near it, and into a
vacant lot. There she lay m0tiOnleSS,
her skirts thrown over her head. AS
the train stopped the conductor and sew
eral passengers jumped to the ground
tio loh Nv ulIlOlI liza
Suddenly there was a rustic of white
neither garments, a pair of arms pro-
truded from the skirts about her head,
and in a second more a woman whose
eyes flashed fire stood staring at the
now astOnished men. She adjusted the
new s%unbnnnet and turned loose, shak-
ing a well-browned fist at the conductor.
That's right; look at me! I'd like to
know if it amt bad 'nough to muss my
clean clothes all up without starin' that
way. Rot your dirty eng"
The rest of her speech could not be
heard, and as she started out across the
lot at a rapid pace the traiumen looked
at each other in amazement. Before
starting again, the engineer took a care
full survey of the cowcatcher to see that
nothing had been broken. 1t was aft
erwards learned that while the woman
is not seriously hurt, her experience did
not have the effect of an elixir.

A DAMAGE SUIT
That Will Test the Value of Linn.
tied Tickets,

William Torrance, at one time en-
gagged in business at st. Paul, now en-
ployed as a travelling man, will to-day
begin a suit in the district court against
the Northern Pacific Railroad company,
claiming damages at 5000. The occa-
sion Of Mr.. Torrance's suit is of great
interest to the travelling public. Several
weeks ago he was in Fergus Falls.
The Manitoba and the Northern Pa
cific connect Fergus Falls with
st. Paul, and Mr.. Torrance purchased a
firSt-class full fare ticket oyerthe North
ern Pacific line. After the purchase he
found the ticket was limited to twenty
four hours. Mr.. Torrance stopped over
at Wadena, purposing to strike the next
train, timed to leave this point al 1890
p. n. The train was over two hours late,
and thus, when Mr.. Torrance boarded
it and the conductor examined tickets,
he refused to recognize the limited
ticket-clalming that the t%wenty-four
hours had expired. Mr.. Torrance re-
fused to pay the fare from Wadena to
st. Paul, so at Verndale he was elected
from the train. Attorney Henry Johns
is counsel for the plaintiff, and several
interesting questions OH the working of
the interstate commerce law will come
up for the decision of the trial judge.

Eagle Street Grade.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
You would do all people, and es-
pecially their horses, who travel Eagle
street much good if by your advocacy
YOU can effect a change in the grade
that seems about to be established for
that street. There has been as much
''backing and filling" and fussing in
engineering that grade as is usual in
establishing a railroad line so as to run
through or not to run through every
mans land within a bell of five miles in
width. Just as suits each and every own
er. Hitherto that street has been a
nuisance, as | can testify to seeing the
cruelty to horses, committed in
driving loaded teams up the steep
ascent at Seven cOrners-hOrSes
baking and slipping and falling in as
cending, and wagons and SledS sliding
sidewise and overturning in descending.
When the Arcade opera house a
tions were made the rubbish and dirt
were dumped on this street, so as to re-
quire a fill at certain points of eight or
nine feet, all as per rod and transit.
But when the excavations for paving
West Seventh street, from Seven cor
ners, was done the dirt, instead of being
used for these fills IN Eagle street, was
carted off to some more distant place,
either for city or for political economy.
Well, now they are about paving Eagle
street, and behold, they seem
to be scooping out the fills they
have made, and, instead of
grading to a regular inclined plane, it
looks as though they were going to
leave the tob Of the hill sleeper than
any other part of the incline, so that the
hardest part Of the haul for teams will
be the last pull at the top of the ascent.
This piece of engineering is watched
with much curiosity as being somewhat
of the kind that in times past in st.
Paul tried to make water run up hill by
constructing sewers with their mouths
higher than their heads. =
