once read an account of girl-down in
Kentucky-who was away from home and SO
situated that suite of rooms was not only
impossible but not necessary. The fact that
she entertained company in her boudoir was
sweet meat of gossip that the greedy tongue
waggers and filth throwers seized upon with
glee and rolled about in their spacious
mouths with satisfaction not unlike a boy
who only gets cake but once a year. This
volley of chain shot, an accumulation of
months, at last found its way to the girls
knowledge and, disgusted as well as broken
hearted she moved to CLINE with fewer con-
tracted minds. Her maligners swallowed
their we'll masticated food but it caused
dyspepsia nevertheless. as her departure has
since been acknowledged by them to be a
public loss.
Gossip and slander are blood relations.
They are each hung on hair trigger and
therefore tco prone to go off.

From this hazardous subject fraught with
pitfalls this lady switches off on "secassity"
events to corroborate her prelude as to her
position, etc. She recounts particulars of
"pedros" and showers encomiums upon
givers of the same with lavish hand and in
true metropolitan fashion. "The Smiths,
the Millers, the Browns, entertained gay
and festive throng" etc., is the approved
style of the nomenclature. With the pleas
ing portrayal of happy scenes she makes the
heart open wide both orioles and ventricles
with pity at a touch of pathos concerning
some convict whose eyes watered when
thoughts of several moons and never a
"thdrop," came like blight over his spirit.

But, as it signed itself Mrs, it is but cour-
tesy to consider tia ''she" and accordingly
do homage to her rather fresh and breezy
sentiments. Her preliminary remarks were
decidedly breezy as we'll as instructive. For
instance, readers fairly shouted with Joy to
learn Mrs. s., is 28 years of age and married.;
that her husband is gentleman with heaven
ly tendencies caused from eating angels
food; that five years have elapsed since the
Squire pronounced them man and wife and
still no cherry faced cherub claims their
home as its residence. Her words pertaining
to this portion of the abridged biography are
singular even beyond freshness.
THAT have been married five years and
not blessed with any progeny may seem
somewhat remarkable, but, must plead as an
excuse that am not to blame, and willingly
shift all responsibility upon my dear husband
who objects to division of love and a squal-
ling infant" Had this confession appeared
in the Police Gazette doubtless that question

week; or had the writer been 58 instead of 28
the blue pencil would have found its inexor-
able way through the above sentence. Still
there should be no cause for complaint for in

To'close this resume of Mrs. Spooney's
first appearance in type quote her climax,
verbatim: when she comes out of the surf
in the summer, she dresses in such brief
period of time that even Eve, in he- palmy
days in the Garden of Eden, would have to
take back seat However much they may
ridicule the scarcity of material in our full
dress, they never fail to futter around and do
homage to those charms so delightfully."- and

Whoever the writer may be the reprint
manifests religious turn of mind for it is
stolen from Sunday school tractor Don
Juan know not which. In writing she
makes one error that should be corrected or
not hide behind nom de plume. This error
is, failing to take cognizance of the fact that
there is no type to represent coquettish
shrugs, ETC., which makes the stuff in her
whole letter at all palatable in colloquy.
Robbed of these coy maneuvers the moment
it leaves the printers hands, naught is to be
found save ill bred and l might say vulgar
language.

Alf Carlson was arraigned before
Judge Mahonev in the municipal court
yesterday on the charge of stealing an
Overcoat from j. Engdahl He admitted
the theft and was sentenced to pay
fine of $40 or to serve twenty days in the
workhOuse. He chose the latter. and as
he started toward the cell room he
called Engdahi to him, and with the re-
mark that it would be warm enough
at the WOrkhOuSe he pulled off
the stolen coat and handed it back
to the owner. Christ Olson pleaded
guilty to etealing three pairs of trousers
from the room occupied by Mail Carrier
}. s. Noble, and was sent up for ten
days. William. who is better known as
kissing" Barnes, was before the court
on the charge of being drunk. AL
though William admitted that he had
been before the court frequently and
his former commitments to the work
house were justified by his conduct. he
claimed that this time the police were
mistaken, and he secuted the idea that
two glasses of beer and hot whisky
could make him drunk. As further
proof of his Sobriety he called the courts
not made any attempt to kiss the
people around the lookup. The testi-
mOny of the officers, however, left no
doubt in the MIND of the court as to
Williams condition, and he was sent
back to the WOrkhOuSe for sixty DAYS.
Otto Johnson, who is employed as a bar
tender by S. P. Norton at his saloon on
Fourth avenue south, pleaded guilty to
selling liquor OH Sunday, and was SEN
fenced to pay fine of 500. As it was
shown that the saloon was kept open
without the prOprietor's knowledge,
and contrary to his orders. Mr.. Norton,
who had been arrested upon the same
charge, was discharged. Fred BoSSe,
Minneapolis on Jan. l. was
arraigned on the charge of
assault in the first degree. He waived
an examination and was committed
without bail to await the action of the
district court. BOSSe still adheres to
his original story and claims that the
shooting was done in self-defense. He
told the county attorney yesterday that
August Juderagin. who witnessed the
assault and the subsequent shooting. was
about to remove to Chicago, and he
made formal request that Juderagin
be compelled to remain in Minneapolis
and tell what he knows about the affair.

A BIG DISCREPANCY.
Minneapolis Pays Literally for
Lighting Streets.

AlSHCfnR Streets
Alderman E. G. Potter, of the Fourth
ward, has figured out the problem of
the city of Minneapolis owning its own
street-lIghting plant, and he feels salts
ted that not only will large sum of
money be saved annually if his plan is
adopted. but he claims that it will not
be necessary for the city to issue any
more bonds to pay for its construction.
In explaining his plan yesterday he
said:
MY idea is to have the West side
pumping station furnish the power to
light the West side, while the East side
station performs similar duties for the
East side. Combined, they furnish 500
horse power. which is just about what
would be needed. The pumps could
be SO arranged that they would be in
position to pump water should the
Single creek station give out. 1 favor
the putting down of a special circuit
Tor our wires, something cheap and
rapid, like the Edison conduit. If the
gas company would not sell us their
lamp posts we could buy posts like
those used in Chicago for the same pur-
pose. They are little taller than our
posts, and are very handsome. As to
finances, II we comm fenced now to ap-
propriate from the permanent improve
ment fund. we could have the whole
system in by 1893, the date when the
last lighting contract runs out. and not
issue bond. There is no reason why
the city should not control its street
lighting just as it does the water sup
ply"
At present the city of Minneapolis has
a contract with the Brush company for
40 arc lights. each OF 2.0O0-candle power.
These lights are furnished upon five
years contract at $3.50 each per year,
and are run upon the moon schedule,
averaging about twenty-five nights per
month. Besides these electric lights
there are 5000 gas lamps, which cost the
city Sl5.36 each per month, and 2000
gasoline lamps at S14.40 each. The cost
of the electric lights furnished by the
Brush company to Minneapolis has been
considered very high, and recently the
same lights were offered to Cincinnati
for S59.9S per year, and the lights were
to burn all night every night. At pres
ent Pittsburg pays S105 per year. st. Jo-
Seph S72 year and st. Louis S75 year
for the same lights furnished Minneap-
Oils at $50 per year. Some of the alder
men are of the opinion that if the light
can be furnished to other cities for so
much less meney than Minneapolis has
been paying, it is time the city should
own its own plant.
