The Times may have unwittingly
stumbled into a libel suit. Sunday its
great political editor attempted to say
that certain politician was. unlike
Caesars wife, not above suspicion, ard
the types made it read "CorSer'S Wife"
There are number of gentlemen
named Corser who have wives living in
Minneapolis, so the failure to be eX-
plcit may save the Times from an an
noying suit.
The musical critic of the Evening
Tribulation appears to have the gentle
man who acts in similar capacity on
the morning edition of that sheet on
the hip. 1t appears that this latter
genius criticised Guile, the tenor of the
Hess company, Oh his rendition of
Edgar in Lucia" when. in fact, he
was not in the cast, the part in question
being assumed by Emile Butat.
Jack Beach goes out to the lake each
evening this summer with such Chris
tian regularity that his friends call him
"Minnetonka Beach,"
j. T. Wyman's name has received
honorable mention as candidate for
the Republican nomination for mayor.
Mr.. Wyman however, is too good a mau
for the place, that is for the nomination.
The Republicans invariably put mp
some cheap politician, and then secure
his election by exciting war preJudlceS
or agitating the tariff question.
The delegation from the council sent
to Eastern cities to investigate street
liuhfino opd tho dicnncitinn of pnrb9UQ
is not much Oh style, and will hardly
impress people with the idea that the
office of alderman in Minneapolis calls
for an exalted type of citizenship. How
ever, the results of the junket may be
more tangible than Mayor Babb's visit
to Bottom in search for police signal
system to cost $4,000.
The Minneapolis fire department "got
there again" yesterday; that is, they
finally reached the scene of conf1agra-
ton. This fire, however, did not occur
across the street from the department
headquarters, and allowances can be
made.
For nearly two months it has been a
source of WOnderment to Minneapolis
people why the board of trade had taken
no action on the census matter; indeed,
it was feared that that venerable body
had postponed action on this true topic
until 1891. But no. The board as
sembled yesterday and said, "Mr. Noble
and Mr.. Porter. you are all right. We
thank you" The country is safe.
There was no band at the depot when
the cOnteSting crews of the Lurline boat
club returned in triumph to Minneap-
oils, but as the sun shone on the breasts
of the aquatic heroes, it was reflected
back from the gold fronts of countless
badges. and the members looked like
delegation of manufacturing jewelers..
1t is a fact also that the club won
enough badges to start small jewelry
store on a paying basis, and it also in
tends to win the diamond badges offered
by the Twin City Athletic club.
The street railway company evidently
wishes to lull to rest the dissatisfaction
of Minneapolitans over its greed in
street railway franchises, by reminding
them that it will pay out fully $4,000
per month in wages to workingmen
during the completion of its lines.
When that huge piece of cornice fell
from the Tribune building yesterday, it
was pity that the man with the be-
nevolent countehance, who Invariably
wants to know if it is ''hot enough for
you" was not directly beneath it with
his hat off. Somuch future agony might
have been saved.
The Evening Tribune prints an ac-
count of meeting of the board of trade
In which that body of attenuated and
foSsilated ideas passed set of reSolu-
tons in regard to the census recount.
The resolutions were also printed in
full. The supposition is that the E.
Trib. made frantic attempt to gain
scoop over its rival, the +. Jay, for no
such resolutions were even presented at
the meeting. Now will the Jay howl.
The high wind of yesterday played
jocular prankS with pedestrians, and
especially those Of the gentler sex who
ventured out. Its safe to say that only
those of the most symmetrical form were
on the street, for jocular Boreas made
each one appear as if dressed for the
march in the second act of the Black
HuSSarS.
The great prize cup won by the Lur-
line Boat club was displayed upon the
counter at the West hotel last evening,
and young man from Kansas City
waltzed up and registered. He then
glided up and attempted to lift the
cover, and when he failed glanced at
the inscription and blushed. He
thought it was lunch boat.
The base ball crankS who knew all
along that the Minneapolis team could
not play ball had their innings yester-
would stop and listen to them what
they would do with Duke if they owned
the club. Of course there were sundry
references to Foster and Hengle, but
they were hardly listened to amid the
general wall that went up from the
fans.
