THESE HAD ANCESTRY.

Sherwood Hough Will probably be a
member of the Sens of the Revolution.
He attended the initial meeting. and
was very much interested, especially
upon the question of eligibility. 1t
is provided that to join the organiza-
ton man must trace his ancestry back
TO a man who participated in the Reyo-
luton as a So!dier, sailor or civil O-hcer.
Mr.. Hough got the floor and said:
You see, Mr.. Chairman, l am be-
tween the horns of dilemma. My
great grandfather was too old for mill
taTy service, and was killed during a
raid in New Jersey, SO l couldn't claim
eligibility on him. His son, my grand
father. was too young Tor service, but
he guided Gen. Washington TO point
on Jersey Heights, where he could geta
look at New York bay So you see how
am situated"
Gen. Sanborn, who had been reading
the constitution, came to the rescue.
lit says here that anybody who con-
tributed patriotic services will answer,
so that makes you all right"
Mai. Durant. of Saltwater, was also
in q Quandary aS to how the descent was
TO be proved. Il want you to under
stand" he said, with twinkle, 'that
my family was very ariStOcratic. They
participated in the first tea party in

From Respect for the Girl The

There were eighteen culprits before
Judge Burr in the police court yester-
day morning. Pauline Levinski and NJ.
Schmidt, the disreputable pair from the
upper flats who got into q drunken
brawl Friday night, and so cruelty
treated their tWO-weekS-old babe, leav-
it lying upon the sidewalk for two
hours with almost no clothing, were up
for drunkenness and diSorderly con-
duct. The man was sent out for thirty
days and the woman for sixty.
Harry j. Brand, the yOnng painter
who shot at ID. Il. Stewart, on Twelfth
street, near Cedar, Thursday morning,
was up for assault with dangerous
weapon. On motion of County Attor-
ney Egan, who argued that no one had
+ been hurt, and that all parties inter-
tered were anxious to have the matter
dropped, the case was dismissed. This
action is said TO have been taken out of
respect to Miss Florence Shepard, of 81
East Twelfth street, the young lady im-
plicated. who is DESTROYS of avoiding
further notoriety.
Frank Chandler, proprietor of laun-
dry at 427 West Seventh street, was up

Attorney General Ciapp Decides
+ the School Book War In His
Favor.
Messrs. Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co.,
of Cincinnati, and ID. ID. Merrill, rep
resenting the st. Paul Book
and Stationery company, are max
ing things lively for the
pedagogues Of the state. The Van
Antwerp firm appear to have ''got it in
I for' Merrill, the latter having secured
from the legislature of Indiana the sup
ply of the Niles geography in the
schools of that state. This en-
croaches on the preserves OF Messrs.
Van Antwerp, Bragg u Co., who
retaliate by coming into Minnesota, ex-
changing, free of cost, their own text
books for the Merrill text books
now in use. 1t is perfectly per-
MISSILE for the independent school dis
tricts to do this, but for schools under
the jurisdiction OF the state it is illegal.
The agents of Van Antwerp claimed it
was not Illegal, and supported this
claim with an opinion of the attorney
general. State Superintendent Kiehle
has been besieged with inquiries
on the point, and yesterday con-
suited the attorney general, who,
after careful consideration, declares the
declares the Merrill contract for text
books to be quite legal. The attorney
general says: 81 have gone into this
matter to some length, for the reason
that recent communication from this
office has been construed against the
validity of contract, and perhaps the
language of the letter. which was writ
ten hastily, warrants such construction,
but the letterreferredt to was based upon
a decision of the district court of Henne-
pin county.
1t appears that in Is 3, the legislature
attempted to amend the law relating to
the distribution of books, but the bill as
finally signed did not contain an enact
ing clause. In 1855, the legislature at
tempted to supply the defect by an at
tempted amendment 10 the act of 1888,
and i'll an action brought in Hennepin
county, it was held the law of 1888 was
void. This being the decision referred
to in the letter last mentioned.
An examination of the records
shows that the decision only involved
the validity of the law of 1888, relating
to the distribution of books, and in no
manner involved or affected the act of
1887. Not only does this appear from
the records, but it also appears by a
statement made by the judge who tried
the case, from which statement,
it further appears that while the
question was not involved in
any manner. that. in the
opinion of the judge, the act
of 1877 was not defeated by the vote of
1880. As above stated, the objection to
the validity of the contract being based
upon the vote of 1880, and no other OBJ
lection being made. the objection is I'M
tenable and the contract remains i'll
force, binding alike upon your depart
ment ana other officers.

by stating that he had interviewed the

informed the council, at the last meet

printers how low the publishers bid
might be, as he would get the
same wages anyway. He had since
learned the publishers ''had a
way OF their own" to cut the printers
down if they bid too low, and "in the in

establish the compensation at living

the trades and labor assembly occupied
a seat on the floor with him. In accord

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of Gifts.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Four of the needy Sunday schools in
my district have requested me to tender
their thanks to the House of Hope Sun
day school, st. Paul, for their kind and
generous gift in supplying them with
means for their Christmas tree. 1t is
not the first time that the hearts of both
parents and children in this poor dis
trict have been made glad by the liber-
atty of the Christian friends and dear
young people of the House of Hope. At
the same time L would return my sim
cere thanks to the above Sunday school
for their aid to myself in supplying part
of the money to purchase horse in the
place of the one had killed by acct
dent. No doubt these good people feel
it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive. ARCH SPEERs,

SOME SHREWD STORIES
Concerning the Identity of the

The Lake Johanna scandal was re-
vived again yesterday by report that
relatives of the dead man, known here
as John L. Sullivan" were in st.
Paul in quest of the remains and
to ascertain the facts regarding
the shocking mutiIatiOn. Up to late
hour last night, however, Coroner Quinn
had not been visited by any one claim
ing relationship to the dead man. and
that he has relatives In the city appears
to be mere speculation. Ever since
the eOrOner's inquest upon the body
there have been many rumorS
concerning the case, and it
seems to be generally believed
that the man was working on the
Duluth road under an assumed name.
One story has 1t that he came from the
East under cloudI that he is of a
highly prosperous family, and that his
relations are not only interested in Civ

RETURN OF AN EXECUTION.

Decides Judge Brill.

Decides Judge Brill.
Judge Brill has refused to discuss the
case of Max Feirabend against Otto
. Kruger. This case grows out of an
execution upon judgment of the
municipal court in favor of Kruger
against Vole &iFeirabend, publishers of
the Stats Zeitung. The officer levied
the execution upon the stock in the
saloon of Feirabend, a part of which is
claimed to have been money in
the cash drawer in excess of the
amount of the execution. 1t is
claimed by Feirabend that efforts
are being made to harass him by hold
ing the lien of the execution against his
real estate, and he asks that the balance
of the cash, amounting to S1S5.15, be
turned over to him, and that his prop
erty be freed from the incumbrance. 1t
was claimed that the officer had not re-
turned the execution as satisfied, and
that the officer should be made party
to the action. Judge Brill, in memo
random, says it is not necessary to join
the officer In the action, and that his re-
turn upon the execution may be i'm
peached by evidence as to the facts.

Millionaire Hunters.
New York World.

New ork World.
Sixteen of the twenty-one head Of
moose, elk, deer and antelope purchased
in Dakota, and intended to stock Aus
tin Corbin's hunting park in the noun
tains of New Hamphire, were killed in
railroad wreck on the Nickel Plate
road while en- route East. The five
animals that escaped death were
more Or less seriously hurt. Mr..
Corbiu was more fortunate with
the herd of buffaloes, for which he
paid $4,000 In Manitoba. These ami
mails have reached the park in safety
and the pleasure of killing them is thus
reserved for the millionaire and his
friends. Every millionaire in due time
will have his game preserves and shoot

sport and a kingly attribute. When the
Corsican adventurer, Napoleon Bona
parte, made himself emperor of the
French, he forced himself to hunt, not
because he liked the sport, but because
it had been the pastime of the kings
and potentates since the days of Herod.
