St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-04-20
MINNEAPOLIS,
NOTE AND COMMENT.

Milwaukees team, whose daily boast
Has been, that it would do up brown
The bail club of the Flour town;
While the band played Annie Laurie
They came. they saw, they conquered not,
For Duke was johnny OH the spot"
And famed them out i'll one two three,
While bleachers yelled i'll ecstasy
And the band played Annie Laurie"
With measured tread they left the park,
And sought for solitude aud dark:
The while, the rag they gently chewed,
And told how they were Waterford,
When the bard played annie Laurie"
Next day came Mitchell on the scene,
And life was not happy dream
For Brewers, who could lit the ball
For only three sacks; that was all,
While they whisted annie Laurie"
third time did they amble out
Upon the field, and loudly shout.
But Hudson, with his strong right arm,
Pitched winning ball. There was charm
About that Annie Laurie.
Now that the Tribune and Pioneer
Press have got through rel1aShing the
GLOBES description of the Minneapolis
colony of the followers Of Schweinfurth,
the Journal revamps the story printed
in the GLOBE some weeks ago concern
ing Thomas LowTy's decision not to
build the S250,00O home for the Mime
apolis club, for which he had plans al
ready drawn. The journal thinks that
Mr. Lowry was Influenced in his
action by some unpleasant com
ments made by members of the club
concerning his attitude at the
time of the street car strike. Another
theory, and probably the correct one,
was given in the GLOBES account,
which was to the effect that when the
club undertook to raise funds for new
house. certain members of the concern,
who were ignorant of Mr., Lowry,s
benevolent intentions, took HIM to task
quite severely when he stated that he
was willing to ntrlbute as much as
any one else. They thought he should
give considerably more than that, and
4 said so very plainly, which so offended
MIR. Lowry that he actually tore up the
set of plans Burlington, the architect.
> had prepared at his direction, which
alone, by the way, cost as much as his
subscription to the building fund as 1t
now stands.
Now that the Times is going to have an
editor who was formerly in the pat
ent medicine business, the readers of
that paper can expect to see such artl-
cles as 'Radway's Ready Relief for Re
trenchment and Reform" "Perry'S
Partisan Politics."
A tea-tlme sheet has begun the pub
LEGATION of a companion piece to And
Satan Laughed" 1t is by Edgar Saltus
Park, is entitled "And His Wife
Laughed" and is intensely ''erotic."
"Who's that reciting Mare Antony's
Grafton in there?" inquired visitor to
the court house the other day, as he
paused in the hallway leading past
Judge Hooker's court room.
THAT" SAID Deputy Baxter, that's
Ed Sumner explaining a question to
witness"
The reason for the grand jury's pro-
lOnged session recently and for Capt.
GilmOre's i'll temper all the time is eX-
planned. After the grand jury's adj
JOurnment worn pack of cards was
found in the jury room. 1t is also said
that Gilmore is a poor poker player.
At the reception at the West Henry
Willard remarked that Tom Lowry had
been able to get $1O,O0O.OOO out of him,
and Immediately afterward made the
entirely SupeTfluOus remark that he had
once been reporter. Only newspaper
men know how to laviShly give away
$10,000000 and smile over it.
"'Dust thou art, to dust returnest'
was not spoken of the Minneapolis
ball players. They have returned to
glory, and can have champagne and
terrapin if they but say the word.
The gates of the city were left un-
locked last night for the first time since
warm weather came, and the weary
policeman was again allowed to enjoy
his regular nap. Miwaukee's leather
chasing aggregation failed to steal the
municipality. as was feared.
son, MAJ See that great, big pink
mushroom over there in the court
house," screamed "kId'' on Fourth
street and Eighth avenue south yester-
day. He saw Sheriff Eyes new maid
en's-blush hat through the window.
Just how DR.. Burrell would suit the
Brooklynites who attend Plymouth
church is matter of doubt in Minneap-
oils. There are those who say that our
own Sunday newspaper annihilator
breaches from platform just fraction
of an inch narrower than did the I'M
mortal Beecher.
a l0W-mInded politician, who is en-
viouS of the talents and achievements
of others, has started a story to the eff
feet that Maj. Norton went away to
write a speech for Babb and drill him
in it before the meeting of the Loyal
Legion in Philadelphia.
Minneapolis is to have a new inSur-
ance company. Will the new corpora
ton insure the presence of Mayor Babb
in the city during another grand jury
inquiSitionP
W. Fl. Kliver, of Chicago, gave the
Minneapolis carpenters something of a
roasting in his speech at the Labor
Temple Thursday evening for allowing
their organization to go to pieces and
their wages to he reduced below those
paid common laborers. The facts
brought out simply 60 to prove the old
axiom I'm union there is strength"
Mr.. Kliver will do the carpenters good
service if he can instlll little energy
into what is left of their organization.
Capt. G. B. Tirrell need never expect
reelection as clerk of the court. He
has forgotten his allegiance to Minneap-
oils and now talks of nothing but the
wonderful prospects of West Superior.
Such treason 10 minneapolis Will never
be cOndoned.
From the published list of composers
whose works will be rendered at the
next Danz concert, the name of E. G.
Babb has been dropped. Assisted by
thirty-SeVen aldermen, he has written
retrenchment and reform march.
Those who have heard it say that it is
full of diScord and lacks harmony.
1t is now in order for the Evening
Hybrid, which chuckled so Justify over
the Indictment of MCGOWAN and Brues-
haber because they are Democrats, to
boldly asseverate that Haney is Mug
Wump.
Some unfeeling ball crank has made
the assertion that the full title of the city
FROM which the ball team now in the
city halls, was originally Whipped
Cream City.
