to tathom the mystery OF TWO Genus DIT
the wrong side of the ledger. He had
been bordering over the error three
hours when nature rebelled, and the air
became lurid. Owen Davis, the c0lored
janitor, was busting about the office,
and mildly deprecated the use OF too
strong language; but Mr.. Sanders
wrath knew no bounds. and in his
frantic efforts to elucidate the problem
he spilled bottle of ink over pair of
new pants. Davis turned upon rim
and said: Oar, now, just as long as
you lib don't you nebber again sass YOU

Dr. Vail. of the Universalist church.
is astounded by scene witnessed on
the streets Wednesday morning. Walk
ing along Wabasha street, near the post
office, he was startled by a man rushing
out of a saloon and telling another
aSSaiiant appeared to wear steel knuck-
les, and what astonished the reverend
gentleman was that no attempt was
made to arrest him. The patrOlman
was not on hand, and although DIR.
Vail has made every inquiry and
watched the newspapers closely he has
failed to learn whether the man COM
hitting such a dastardly assault has
been caught and punished. Surely"
he says, ''it is an outrage upon civiliza--
ton if such assaults can be committed
in broad daylight in the center of an
important thOrOughfare and the aSSall-
ant escape unpunlshed!"
A millionaire even if he is the pro-
proprietor of an exclusive street rail-
way franchise, is not to be enVied. The
life of Thomas Lowry cannot be hap
py one. With the Twin Cities councils
in the one hand, and indignant citizens
on the other, Mr.. Lowry is at present
undergoing a foretaste Of that which
the birthstone preachers prophesy is in
store for the wicked of the
world. Take one instance of
Mr.. Lowry's troubles and a
small one too-that .of the Dayton's
bluff bobtail car. This IS a free car
operating on Maria avenue. The citi-
zens first complained of the inadequate
service supplied by one ear. MIR. Lowry
put on two cars. The citizens COM
planned that the cars ran too slow. Mr..
Lowry ordered the cars to be operated
on better time. The citizens wanted
the line extended. Mr.. Lowry gracious
Iy replied that he was already consider
ing it. The citizens, in desperation,
complained that when the driver saw a
likely passenger 200 yards behind he
should reverse his horse, return and
take him up. MI. Lowry-well, Mr..
Lowry might reasonably deposit his
he ad in a water bowl, hail hanson
cab and precipitately depart for Lake
Harriet.
The trustees of the First Baptist
church, with the consent of the congre-
CATION. have wisely determined to abol-
ish pew rents. No one attending the
church can now lay claim to any one
particular seat. A. S. Tailmadge re-
ports that the patrons of the church are
highly satisfied with the arrangement,
and that strangers are no longer made to
feel as if they were interlopers, PRAYING
at the sufferance of other people. The
church is common property. Over
$4,000 is also being spent in the renova-
ton of the sacred editice. The organ is
being enlarged, and will almost equal
that which is to be placed in the Peo-
pies church.
If it were not for the fact that the
tlllLGIlS
support of a health department. they
might not otherwise be aware of its eX-
istence. One of the duties Of such de-
partment naturally should be the regu-
lation of waste refuse from the thou
sands OF backwards scattered through
out. In civilized communities this nee
esSary work is performed under the
heavy cloak of the midnight hours. Why
in st. Paul it is allowed TO de performed
during the day, and the people almost
suffOcated under a nauSeating stencil,
is one of those conundrums which only
an etherealiZed health department can
explain.
The success of Christ church choir is
tending to a general introduction of the
chorus choirs in many city churches.
The quartette choir is very nice, easy
to handle by the pastor, and pliable to
the instructions of the organist. But,
as one of the aids to the churches said,
there is nothing to equal the chorus
choir, and particularly if it is mixed
one. A much larger audience is at
tracted to the service. The music, if
we'll rendered and plenty of it, is at
tractive, to say nothing of the magnet
ism possessed by bevy of young lady
singers.
B. A. CoWan and wife, of the ASso-
ciated Press, returned the past week
from pleasurable trip through Vel
lowstone park. Mr.. Cowan is filed
with the wonders and the glOries of the
National park, and is almost overflow
ing with a crop of good stories. There
was married lady in the company
which he was affiliated with during the
journey through the park. When they
came to the celebrated geysers this
particular lady, the wife of farmer by
the water, put her hand into the hot
waters and exclaimed: "Oh! how grand
this would be for scalding hogs"
Deputy Labor Commissioner Casserly
is taking census OF the unemployed
people within the city. Think of that =
one man taking census of the unem-
ployed But how is Mr.. Casserly going
TO get at the correctness of the number
unemployed? Is he going to interview
everybody longing on the street, or
sleeping during the day on the piazza?
1t is useless to call upon business men.
Der of men out of employment? The
force of the labor bureau, to properly
take in the great army of the unem-
pl0yed, with their daily arrival and de-
parture to and from the city, is an i'm
possibility. Commissioner Lamb had
better put his deputies to work which
will be of statistical value in its correct
ness when completed.
The city just now, and during the
past eight weeks, has been almost de-
nuded of its regular staff of ministers.
They are either rusticating in the West,
luXuriating In the East or drinking in
the frivolties of London, Paris and
Vienna. And yet with this general
exodus of divines the pulse of the city
still throbs. The presiding genius OF
an unknown and undesirable cline may
be getting in his work with more vigor,
but there are no outward signs that he
is. The world joys on the same.
II the citizens of the Twin Cities and
the state at large are not surfeited with
races-WeII. the fault can not be laid at
