This of Our Exhibit.

Luther Stieringer, the we'll known
expert, who has been called upon by
the management of the Minneapolis ex-
pos ition to assist in the preparation of
The electrical plans this year, returned
to this city yesterday en- route for the
South, where he will enjoy brief va
cation. AS is already known, the
main feature of the exhibition
will be the Edison exhibit
from Paris, recently displayed at
the Lenox lyceum. This. however. will
be supplemented by some special novel;
ties, and the Flower Of Light effects
will be repeated. though upon scale
that is far beyond anything yet at
tempted. If the plans are only carried
out, even approximately, the effects at
the LenoX will be cast into utter insig-
nifcance. Minneapolis is fortunate In
having such an opportunity, and there
is no doubt that the exhibition will in
terest and attract the whole MOI thwest.

LOST A FINGER.
Officer Bahon's Hard Run-Police
Court, Notes.

Officer Bahon's Hard Run-Police
Court Notes.
Gus Nelson appeared in the munich
pal court yesterday afternoon minus
the tip of one forefnder, which had
been carried away by bullet from the
pistol of Officer Bahon. Bahon, while
standing on the corner of Eleventh
street and Hennepin yesterday after
noon, saw Nelson dart out of
the doorway at 1923 Hennepin
avenue, apparently concealing some
thing under his coat. The officer COM
manded Nelson to halt, without avail.
Then came a chase through gardens
and over fences to Western avenue,
down Ninth street and back up Henne-
pin to Eleventh, where he was caught.
His finger had been shot off during
the chase. Nelson pleaded guilty
to stealing the umbrella, and was
given thirty days. Louis Metz
land was tried for keeling a
blind pig at his confectionery store on
Fifth street north, but the evidence
against him was too slight, and he W as
discharged. Peter Olson stole some
carpenters tools, was arrested and sent
to the workhouse for ninety days. Will
lam Ryan, an old time "yag," went to
the rock pile for ninety days. Three
men who, in court, gave their names
as E. G.. Gray, W. e. True
and j. II. Laughlin. went to
Annie Wrlghts house of i1l-fame at 35
Main street and began to throw beer
bottles, etc. The patrol wagon carried
them and four of the inmates of the
house to the lookup, and. the men were
yesterday fined $40 each and the women
IS each. Gray, who is really junior
partner in prominent lumber firm, was
the man who started the disturbance,
and he would have received thirty days
had the Judge known it. Two madames
contributed $120 in fines.

Peeuliarities and Practices OF

But Buys Not.
Wherein She Differs From Her

"Can I show you something, mad
amp
"Yes, l would like to look at some or
your summer silks"
How many times every day is that or
similar questions answered in the big
stores along Nicollet avenue? Not less
than score. How often are the clerks
politeness and engaging smile rewarded
by good-sized purchase? Much less
frequently, certainly, than by the re-
mark:
"Wen, I don't want anything to-day.
I'll be in in day or two and take some
off that piece there"
She is gone, never to return, at least
to purchase. and her place is immedi-
ately filled by another daughter of Eve
who goes through the same formula.
The lady just mentioned is the pro-
fessional shopper" and she forms a
numerous class in every large city.
They make the rounds of the stores,
poster the clerk, make him pull every
piece of goods in his department from
the shelves, turn up their aristocratic
noses at everything shown them, make
cutting remarks about there never being
anything ut to BUY IN TINS place,
crush the poor clerk with a stony
glare should he dare offer suggestion
as to the value or good qualities of
some certain piece of goods, and finally
stalk majestically out of the store, to go
through the same performance else
where, while the weared and exasper-
ated clerk is left with nothing to COM
fort him but the sharp command of the
hoor-walker to "clear up that counter,
and don't disgrace the store with
such slouchlness." This is the
not daily, but neutrality-suspicious. OF the
retail clerk, especially the one who
stands behind the counter of an estab-
lishment patronized by ladies'. He al
ways smiles. however, somewhat me-
chanically, it is true, but still a smile,
for it is his business to look pleasant,
even though, like Prince Lorenzo before
he secured the mascot, he hide poig-
nant care within his jovial exterior. In
course of time, however, especially If he
has grain of philosophy in his brain,
he becomes accustomed to that sort of
thing and begins to expect it.

deal, would not fill a very large vol
ume. He makes it a point to drop into
the editorial rooms every day, look
over the exchanges and kick. He picks
out flaws in the telegraphic reports,
and wants to know why it is that
special which has been telegraphed
from Squedunk to one paper does not
appear in another. The municipal adj
ministration does not suit him, and he
roasts the council for making appro-
priations for one improvement and dis
regarding another. Then the police
come in for a good shaking down. If
declare that the side doors should be
open. If the side doors are open. they
ought to be closed up tight. Kick he
must, and should an angel from heaven
appear on earth, he would kick because
her wings were not just what he thought
they should be.
Let the kicker enter the dining room
Of his hotel. Immediately the head
waiter is all attention, and sees to it
that he has the best service in the
house. The head waiter knows what is
coming and he tries to soften the attack
as much as possible. In store it is the
same way; clerks and floorWalkers know
him and are all attention. He gets bet
ter apples at the fruit stand, cigars at
the tobacconists'. and little the best Of
everything just because he is a kicker.
When he dies no one owes him any,
thing. He has taken care OF number
one himself, and when his acquaintances
have occasion to refer to him they are
liable to remark, Eyes, he might have
been good fellow, but he was such a
dreadful kicker"

1t pays to kick sometimes. The meek.
lowly fellow who is satisfied to plod
through life, taking just what he can get
without making any protest, is not the
one who is always going to get the best
chop at the restaurant or the best seat
in the theater. In the hotel when the
meek man rings for bell boy that indi-
vidual will take his time in answering
the call, and when he reaches the room of
the meek boarder he is so filled with the
idea of his own Importance and the in
significance of the guest that sometimes
the guest wishes he hadn't troubled
that bell boy with request for pitch
er of icewater. But let the man who
occupies the room next to the meek
guest press the electric button. Notice
the difference. That man is kicker,
and he lets everybody, from the proprie
tor to the bellboy. know it, too. No
sooner does his tag drop on the enun-
ciator than one of the boys is flying to-
wards his room. "Did [ ring?" he re-
peats sarcastically the question put to
him by the boy, who stands respectfully
awaiting orders. "Well, should say |

off onto him. Oh, no; the ticket seller
knows him, and can tell at glance that
unless he gets value received he will
raise Cain and make everybody around
the place uncomfortable, and conSe-
quently he is given what he has paid
for.
Of course everybody knows that the
mule is natural-born kicker. Nature
has endowed him with hind legs that
can be used both for defense and Offense
particularly the latter. But there are
some men in Minneapolis, and a few
women too. who, when it comes to kick
ing, can give the mule four aces and
beat him out of sight. Perhaps the
greatest kicker is the base ball crank.
He forgets that every club in his asSo-
citation have hired men for the express
purpose of winning ball games, and he
kicks when one of the other clubs takes
it upon themselves to defeat the club to
which he owes allegiance, He does not
take into consideration the fact that no
man is perfect. and when player
makes all error, or he thinks the ludg-
ment OF the umpire is at fault, ne lets
out howl of disgust, and commences
to kick in a way that sends cold
chills down the back of the
manager and makes the boy
who sells indigestible pop corn
and bad cigars hurry to another portion
of the grand stand. When his own club
is winning games, however. he is not at
loss for subject upon which to kick.
There is the tabulated score of the other
games on the board, and he wants to
know why in the name of Moses this
club or that club hasn't fired this or that
particular man long ago and signed
somebody who can play ball. If the
weather is hot he kicks, and while he
cannot change it, the kicker is the man
who always secures a comfortable place
in the shade. He wants the best of
everything, and nine times out of ten he
gets it, while the other fellow who is
content to take life as he finds it, gen.
orally gets through the world only re-
ceiving 90 cents on the dollar.
Perhaps the greatest of all the kick
ers is the man who knows 1t all, and

THE LEAvENwORTH CASE.
Coroner DOten Not Sure That Death
Was Accidental.

Coroner Doten Not Sure That Death
Was Accidental.
BRIDGEPORT, June 1S.-Coroner Doten
returned from Roxbury last evening,
where he had been all day, taking evi-
dence in the case of George Leaven-
worth, whose dead body was on Satur-
day found at the foot of precipice.
The coroner has not as yet finished his
investigation. but he finds a number of
circumstances which point strongly
towards foul play. Henry Manville, the
man who was with Leavenworth when
the latter met his death, was missing to-
day, and the coroner blames the medical
examiner for making no effort to detain
him.
The principal facts brought out by the
examination were that Manville and
Leavenworth had dispute in Dennis
Dailey's saloon on the night previous to
the finding of the body. The trouble
grew out Of debt for so cents. which
Manville claimed LeavenWorth owed
him. Manville was heard to say that if
Leavenworth did not pay that so cents
at once he would take him outside and
throw him over the precipice. Leaven-
worth Was heard to refuse to pay the
alleged debt. and then the two men
went out. The coroner has a theory
that Manville tried to throw Leaven-
worth over the rocks and that in the at
tempt he was dragged over too. Leaven-
worth probably fell first, with Manville
on top of him, which accounts for the
slight injuries sustained by Manvllle.

The New England Roads Victory

In the superior court at Hartford
yesterday afternoon, Henry G. Robinson
as council for the Asylum street bridge
commission, stated that in view of the
opinion of the supreme court of errors
the commission had decided that it
would be unwise for it to move further
in the contempt proceedings against the
New York and New England directors.
Judge Thayer said that it was his wish
that the case should remain just as it
was before the order was issued for the
directors to show cause why they were
not guilty of contempt. The effect of
this is that the tracks will remain where
they are upon Spruce and Church streets
pending proceedings in the United
States supreme court, unless voluntarily
removed.
