Col. Tanner, general manager of the
Minnesota Car company, has just re-
turned from Richmond, bringing with
him E. A. Archer, chief engineer of the
Fredeager iron works, of Richmond, to
look over the plant. Sidetracks will be
built Immediately, and the mandatory
will begiG building ten cars a day
within two weeks. Six hundred men
will be employed at the beginning, and
the force gradually increased until
1000 men are at work. Mr.. Archer has
had remarkable history. He served
in the United States navy when the
war broke out. He was with Envoy
Ward when the treaty between Japan
and the United States was made. He
took part in the first Christian services
in that land. The mikado gave him a
silver coin, great honor, as no money
was allowed to leave the country. When
the. civil war was begun Archer re-
signed and entered the Confederate
service. Under his supervision the
privateer Hawk was built at Clyde.
He brought her to America and
was obliged, with his crew. to put
ashore in Florida swamps for fear
of blockade runners. Seventeen of his
men died of yellow fever and he HIM
self had it. The crew and Mr.. Archer
then walked through the swamps to
Macon, Ga. Since the war he has been
with the Fredea works, and the most
important improvements there have
been planned and carried out by him.
An Eastern Minnesota freight train
ran off the track below Superior and
hai fro hot
no trains ran. The track was cleared
by o'clock and afternoon trains went
out as usual. Twenty-Five cars are said
to be ditched. No one was injured.
The new train service between Du-
luth and Chicago over the Pacific-Cen-
trail route began to-day. A vestibuled
train lett here at o'clock p. m. and
will reach Chicago about 10 in the fol-
lowing morning.
Alex McDougall, inventor of the
famous cigar-shaped vessels that have
caused such discussion among boat
owners as to their merits, has returned
to Duluth from the coast, where he has
been in attendance at meetings Of the
American Steel Barge company.
Socially considered the warm season
now drawing to close has been an
eventful one. More tourists than in any
mer resort, and have contributed in no
small measure to the social activity of
the past four months. The first event
of spring, the opening of the Spalding,
presaged months of unusual pleasure
for society, and society has not been
disappointed. Banquets and balls, con-
certS and muSicaleS, receptions and
excursions have followed one another
in quick succession until the generally
Unsuitable society girl is sorry there is no
Lenten season in fall in which to do
penance for long nights of Terpslcho-
rean dissipation. Yet, poor dear, there
is no such provision in the religious
code, and she must stand it, although
the autumn and winter will be fuller of
fun than spring or summer.
Every one is looking forward to the
opening of the Temple opera house.
Two such events as the opening of a
palace hotel and a magnificent opera
house do not usually come in the same
year. TheatergoerS are longing for
Oct. 81, and Rose Coghlan can expect
a reception such as she has never had
before. The souvenirs are marvels of
beauty. A GLOBE correspondent was
shown one of them the other day,
together with letter from the New
York firm that is doing the designing,
stating that it was the finest thing it
had gotten out this year, which is say
ing good deal, as the Casino, Madison
Square, Days and the big theaters of
the metropolis are patrons of this house.
On the corner of the souvenir-it will
be made from white celluloid-are pict-
ures Of Duluth's old Temple theater,

Gently destroyed by fre-and the new
temple of amusement. The back will
contain the personnel of the place. The
inside pages will, of course, give the
programme, histories of the members
of the Coghlan company, etc. While
society glances askance at any mention
of vulgar money" in connection with
anything said of it, yet these souvenirs
will cost not far from $500 thousand.
The past week has been replete with
pleasure. The event was the ball given
Thursday night by W. G. Harrington, in
honor of his sister, Miss Sue Earring
ton, of st. Paul, who has been visiting
him for the past week. The Spalding
dining room was profusely decorated
with flowers and potted plants, and
of fern and palm, marked time to dane
Ing feet, and youth and beauty passed
hours of perfect enjoyment. Mrs. Far
rington, Mrs. Forepaugh and Miss Bris.
bine, of st. Paul, assisted in receiving
the guests. Among the many charm
llig girls present were Miss Morris of
st. Paul, Miss Alice Murger, Miss Sue
Stearns, Miss Collins, Miss Miller, OF
