PICTURES OE HORSES.
Why the Noble Animals Look Gawky in
the Current Publications.

Instantaneous photography is a
nuisance" said an artist. whose bust
ness is to draw cuts for the magazines
and newspapers. Before they began
to take those blamed photographs all
YOU had to do was to draw a horse so
that it looked natural and lifelike,
and the papers and the public
were satisfied. Now, though, since
that Philadelphia fellow printed
his book, and especially since the papers
reprinted the cuts from it, nothing will
do but that we must draw running
horses just rs they are, and not as they
look. OF course the pictures don't look
nearly SO pretty, and the horses are as
awkward and unnatural as doukeys,
but they are accurate, and that is the
craze Just now. We have had to learn
our animal drawing all over again, ana
have to puzzle our brains by the hour
over cuts of instantaneous photographs,
trying to find some position that has
at least a bit of grace and life in it.
For my part, think tt is ridiculous.
Compare the magazine pictures of
horses of a year or two ago with those
last month and tell me if you don't
think the old ones gave better idea
of the beauty of the animals in motion.
Imagine Rosa Bonheur's horses with
their fore feet stuck out straight like
ramrods, or think of Messonier's troop
ers charging before Napoleon on horses
that had all four legs doubled up under
them at the same timer'
Whatever May be the opinion as to
! the business of the artists criticisms
and complaints, there is no doubt that
he is right on his facts. The horse
pictures in the magazines nowadays
nearly all show at least an effort to
make the positions correspond with
those shown by instantaneous photo
graphs. the picture horse of the past
is relegated to the circus poster and the
bills of the racing associations.-N. Y.

THE STORY OF A FLOWER.

; A spotless thing enough, they said,
: The drift, perchance, from foreign lands,
Washed in atop of mighty tides
! And lightly left along the sands.
Was 1t the treasure of some SHELF
. Some islanders forgotten bead?
A wave-worn polyp from the reef?
, The gardener said at is a seed.''
"Bury it," said he, sin the soil;
The earth will quicken here as there,
With vital force-so fair the seed,
The blossom must be wondrous fair"
All, woe, to lose the ample breath -
OF the salt wastes! To see no more
The sacrifice of morning burn
And blot the stars from shore TO shore.
All, woe, to go into the dark!
Was it for this, the buoyant slide
Up the steep surge, the flight of foam,
The great propulsion OF the tide?
To lose the half.developed dream
unknown powers, the bursting throe
OF deStinies to be fulfilled,
And go into the dark-ah, woei
But the mold closed above the seed
Relentlessly; and still as we'll
All life went on; the warm winds blew;
The strong suns shone; the soft rains fell
Whether he slept, or waited there
Unconscious, after that wild pang-
| Who knows? There came to him at last
A sense as il some sweet voice sang;
AS it, throughout the universe,
Each atom were obeying law
In rhythmic order. In his heart
He felt the same deep music draw.

A COUNTY EXPENSE.

Once every month the county auditor
issues a warrant for 500 to Leve Cor
man. 1t comes as regularly as the re-
currence of the first day of the month,
and thereby hangs a tale. German is
the special officer employed to keep the
notorious ''Reddy' Barrett under sur
yillance, and for this duty receives 500
per month. Reddy is still in Minneap-
oils with his family, awaiting the course
of the supreme courtin the Barrett cases.
If the lower court is reversed. in either
case, and a new trial ordered, Reddy
will be an indispensable witness, and
German is employed to see that he is
forthcoming. In the meantime, the
county foots the bill, not only for Cor
mans high-priced services, but also for
the support of the Reddy Barrett fam
lily. This seems to be necessary
under the circumstances, though COM
munication in protest, has been re-
ceived at this Office. It is true that Bar
rett might be kept under surveillance
at less expense, or without German, EN-
tirely, as the latter gives little of his
time to this duty, and it is true that
witnesses are frequently, in such cases,
compelled to report daily to the
sheriff and thus avoid all expense
but it is really small cause for cavil
The county supports Barrett, and it is
not probable that he will endeavor to
get away, under the circumstances.
The states case would be worthless
without his testimony in a new trial,
and the county attorney is probably
taking unusual precautions.

THE SCARE Is OVER.

A long and deep breath of relief will
go out from the great Republican bosom
this morning. The first rest for three
nights will tonight be obtained by the
officials elected in November and the
caucus nominees of the new council.
The "ten-day clause" scare has de-
parted. 1t was merely joke, after all,
carried as far as time and circum-
stances would allow. City Attorney
Smith has had his little laugh
in his sleeve, and is plastered
over with glory, but the Republican
Otficials-elect will take their seats to-
morrow amid general rejoicing. Judge
Smith now says he never had any doubt
this would be the case. While he never
expressed decided opinion he Ger
tainly led the public to infer he be-
lieved there was grave situation.
This was his little joke, and he has eX-
hibited wonderful self-control in that
he could read the papers and answer
the numerous reportorial questions
without giving an outward sign of the
mirth that was conYulsing him in

MINNEAPOLIS
AN AMUSING FIERCENEss.

A very strenuous effort is being matto
IN Minneapolis to accomplish double
object in the senatorial canvass. IL Is
desired at one time to give the outside
state the impression that Hennepin
county is solid for Washburn ana TO
whip into line those members of legisis-
lative delegations who are opposed to his
election. A month ago, the statement
was made, with great flourish
of trumpets, that the delegation was
solid for Washburn, but now the absurd
ity of this has been made painfully APP
parent at st. Paul and the effort IS
under way to dragon the minority lhto
following the majority OF the oeiega-
ton. The fact is, that while IL Is It.
luctantly admitted that 1.-TWO or three
of the delegates oppose Washburn, there
are really double either number
who from choice would support another
candidate. Several of these may be IN
fiuenced by persuasion, argument OF
otherwise. with the accent in the otner'
to change their vote, but there Will be
found as many more of the delegation
who will never be brought around.
Upon these men is being brought to
bear all possible influence, and the latest
is that which might he supposed to grow
out of the belief that Hennepin county
is unit for Washburn. The effort in
this direction is ludicrous. One paper
prints the opinions of some 200 men,
favorable to Wash5urn, and then points
to the unanimity of sentiment. An an
alysis of that concenSus would be de-
cidedly humorous, but might be person
ally powerful.
"You are misrepresenting your con-
stituency," is shrieked at several who
refuse to be coerced. This is singular.
Their sentiments were known before
election, and then was the time to
shrek at them. In the convention, sew
eral legislative candidates known to
be Washburn adherents, were defeated
by the present members. How foolish:
then, is such talk? Hennepin may be
solid for Washburn, but the Minneap-
oils talk at the Merchants shows SIN
gular state OF solidity. Whatever may
be the situation and whatever may be
the result, this angry upbraiding and
this imperious dragooning is certainly
very ludicrous.

A QUIET LITTLE JOKE.
The City Attorney Appears to Have
Been Soaring Republicans.
THE NEW COUNCIL LEGAL.
The "Ten Days" Clause Does Not
Invalidate the Election of the
New Officials. 81

About a dozen of the Democratic
aldermen, with Mayor Ames, sat in sol
emn conclave in the council chamber
last evening. The purpose of the meet
ing was to obtain from City Attorney
Smith his opinion as to whether
the Republican city officials,
by failing to qualify within
ten days after their election
had not forfeited their right to serve.
Mayor Ames explained that the desire
was not to ''take advantage of a tech
nicfality'' for the purpose of creatingIa
contest so the Democrats could con-
tinue to hold office. At the same time
the outgoing aldermen did not feel
like leaving the city without govern
ment. What he desired to know was
whether the acts of the newly elected
aldermen would be legal, and whether
the Democrats would be derelict in their
duty if they did not demand another
election. To this the city attorney re-
piled that if the aldermen qualified
Monday before the meeting of the
council, the new council would be a le-
gally organized body; SO much SOFAS if
they had qualified within ten days of
their election. They were at least alder
men de jure, and he thought defacto.
When certificate of election had been
issued there could be no vacancy until
one was declared that would warrant an
election.
This statement seemed to satisfy
those present, as there was manifested
no desire to contest the election, unless
the safety of the city demanded it, and
after some talk of a desultory nature.
the meeting, which had lasted some
twenty minutes, broke up.
1t seems that the city attorney has
been having little fun with the Re-
publicans, as he calls it, and had been
enjoying the discontinue that the an
nouncement that they had inValidated
their election had Occasioned.

GLOBE MORNING, JANUARY

matter was taken under advisement by
the court.
An ordar was made in the matter of
the assignment of MarceauX & Bourget,
Authorizing the assignee to dispose OF
the stock of goods.
A writ of habeaS corpus was sworn
out Friday evening by the daughter OF
Thomas McVeigh, the well-known labor
agitator, to recover possession of her
little>brother, aged nine years, who was
in the custody of her step-mother. 1t
appears that McVeigh has left his
family and gone to California
and the daughter, who is employed IN
st. Paul, claimed that her father told
her that she might have the care and
custody of her little brother. The boy
was asked which person he wished to
live with, but he was undecided, anu
seemed to be very we'll satisfied to live
with either of them. The court, how
ever, finally decided to give him into
the custody of the daughter.
An order was made in the matter OF
the assignment of ShOtwell, Crerihew u
Lothman, extending the time for filing
releases.
J. NJ. Locke sues Gainsfcrd Ridgway
for Sill on promissory note.

ment against Edward FL. Steele for

A motion for new trial, in the case
of Fred E. Hardenburg against the st:
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railroad
company, was made by the defendant.
The plaintiff was elected from train
for refusing to pay his fare when no
seat was furnished him. He brought
suit for damages and recovered $500.
The ground Of the motion for a new
trial is that the verdict is excessive.
The matter was taken under advise
ment.
William Barrie, who was committed
to the Hennepin county Jail from Sher-
burn county seven months ago, to await
the action of the grand jury, which
meets next month, was brought before
the court yesterday GU writ of habeas
corpus. Barrie is charged with keeping
a house of ill fame. and it was shown to
the court that he was unable to give
bail, and that he had already remained
in prison nearly as long as he could
have been kept even if he had been con-
victed of the Otfense charged, it being
only misdemeanor. The court conse-
quently ordered his release and allowed
him to COON his own recOgnizance.

STILL IN DURANGO.
A Turn in Fanning's Case Leaves
Him in Jail.

Divorce proceedings were some time
ago pending between Robert I. Fan
ming and his wife, and pending the trial
of the case the court ordered the
husband to pay s. per week alimony.
He refused to pay, and the mat
ter has been pending since last
spring. Tanning was brought befare
the district court for contempt, and was
sentenced to Imprisonment and to paw
fine of $50. Divorce proceedings were
subsequently dismissed, and Tanning
came before the supreme court last Fri
day and asked to be released from Gus
tody. The court, however, decided the
matter as follows: In this case the
order committing for contempt has
double aspect. First, it was in the
nature of a remedy to the party to ell
force payment of the alimony. Second,
it was also punitive or merely in pun
ishment of the offense of contempt. In
the first aspect it was only for the pri-
vate benefit of the party; in the second
only to assert and vindicate the author
ity of the court, and so far it's purpose
was public. So far as it was private or
remedial, that is so far as it required
payment of money to the other party,
its force and life fell with the entry of
judgment of dismissal; but so far as it
imposed fine the entry of Judgment
did not affect it. 1t follows that
the petitioner Is not entitled to
a discharge until he has paid the
fine. On payment of that, the re-
mainder of the order being no longer in
force, of course he will be entitled to
discharge. The writ of habeas corpus
was Quashed and Tanning remanded
to the custody of the she sheriff. Fan
ning's attorney Immediately returned
to Minneapolis and paid to the clerk of
the court the fine of $50, and demanded
Fanning's release. This request
was, however, refused. and so
yesterday his attorney went to
Judge Lochren, and after showing
him the clerk Of courts receipt for the
$50 paid. demanded that Tanning be
given his liberty. The opposing at
torney then made motion to have the
judgment of dismissal set aside, and
this motion was granted. Judge
Lochren then held that as the
setting aside of the judgment
brought the case back into court,
that the decision of the supreme court
deciding that Tanning need not pay the
alimony, was null and void, and that he
must remain in jail until he paid it.
Fanning's attorney now intends 10 take
out another writ of habcas corpus to-
morrow morning and take the matter
back to the supreme court.

Tramps on the March,

"Say, me boy" remarked Jailer Ken
nedy. of the first precinct station. last
evening, as he told a tramp to go down
that since the night of Jan. there have
been 296 tramps given lodgings here
an average of nearly sixty a night?
Out of the whole number l
do not suppose that there are
over ten who are forty years old. All
are young men, from eighteen to thirty
strong, healthy men. The majority
of them come from Dakota, or some
other Western state, where they put in
the fall harvesting. What money they
earned they ''blew in, and then started
out to tramp. You can safely say that
whisky is at the bottom of the fall of
nearly every man who comes here as a
tramn.n
