Oh where are the preachers who iourneyed
awhile
Beside us on life's rugged way9
They meet and roast soundly, all kicking the
while,
Because they're not given more pay.
So they will get back at their flock in this
way:
They will stop all the socials, and this
Is the reason they give-there turks vice IN
And at parties folks frequently kiss

flames q. Blaine. of Maine"
The above is said to have been part of
conversation between our own Wet
House rules Eustis, president OF the
union league, and Washington cores
POndent. No denial that Mr..
Eustis heard that question and made
that answer is attempted. Certain 1t is
that If Mr.. EustiS was asked 1t
he could make no other reply.
The Washington dispatch goes on to
say that EuStis then called upon Mr..
Blaine, but it does not tell ali. The
correspondent is friend of Eustis, and
did not wish to uncover to the gaze of
the cold, unfeeling world the emotion
then and there exhibited by this great
man. A private dispatch from Wash
ingtOn states that Mr.. Blaine's hand
was bathed in great salt tears, and that
the president of the Union league then
fell upon the neck of his great chief
and poured out his whole soul in a
plaintive tale of boundlesS love
that would have done credit to
the heroine of a tank drama.
When the Seance was over, the Plumed

rumpled by the fervency of his imam

used to remove the moisture from the
carpet. Further particulars were not
given in this private dispatch, but those
VINO know Disciple EuStiS' feelings can
piece out the rest from imagination.
Agnes Herndon has been interviewed,
and has said that she entertains moth
ing but the kindliest feelings toward
Hal Reid. Her husband speaks in a
Numerically opposite vein. Can it be
that Hal told the truth about that offer?
TO guard against possible failure of

the pastors of several churches might

Now Springfield, o., comes forward
and claims to be the only true-and-origi-
nal-nOne-genuine- WithOut-Signature-ln
Observation-Disclosures birthplace
of Nellie Bly,, the New York Worlds
rival of Robin Goodfellow.
A Sprins field paper claims that she is
the daughter of William F. COchrane,
well known inventor and millwright of
that city. Old residents of Springfield
assert, with good deal of confidence,
that Nelly Bly, is none other than Miss
Cochrane, who left that city nine
years ago. If they be right
Nelly's father was well known TO
many Northwestern people, particu-
larly the millers. William F. Cocnrane
Invented the Cochrane roller mills,
which are manufactured at EScanaba,
Mich. and used all over the country.
He was killed in a railroad accident
near Escanaba little over a year
ago. Nelly seems to be about to rival
Homer. with the difference that while
cities Quarreled for the honor of being
his birthplace because he was poet,
they put forth claims on Nelly because
she is faSt-ln travelling.
While the library board is at work on
the scheme of establishing branches of
the public library in all parts of the
city, would it not be good thing 10
settle one of these branches in Labor
Temple? Put forth to the wOrkingman
an opportunity. He is as great-per-
baps greater-searcher after informa-
ton as any class of men in the city, and
he enjoys fewer chances of acquiring
the same. When a labor temple was
first talked of in Minneapolis one
of the main arguments advanced in
favor of it was that library could be
there established. The wOrkingmen
already have the nucleus of library at
the Temple, and their very worthy I'M
dertaking could be easily supplemented
by the library board. There has been
feeling prevalent that the library has
been and is being run in the interest of
that portion of the community which is
supposed to indulge in the luxury of
silk hosiery. and the manner in which
the library affairs have been handled
recently affords some ground for
this way of thinking. The library
board has a chance to do good turn
for the workingmen, and branch of
the library at Labor Temple would
probably be as productive of good to the
mass of the people as the coddling of the
Society of Fine Arts.
Really the good, old, staid, sober
board of trade is forgetting itself. The

Now that salaries of base ball umpires
have been raised, the cranks will doubt
less feel called upon to kick more and
make them earn the raise.
The basement of the new Y. M. G. 4.
building will have to be rebuilt. 1t has

When DR.. Ames heard that several
specimens of Irish literature were to be
added to the public library he softly
whispered to himself, THAT'S another

Several thousand Minneapolis house
holders have already volunteered to

1.-The Paymaster" being at the Grand,
led Col. Parker to remark that he is
a gentleman who, in some travelling
theatrical companies, is too exclusive to
be familiar friend of the actors.
Several citizens, who were on the
streets last night wearing large and
elegantly appointed skates, explained
that it was all due to the condition of
the walks.
