there is no way in which to preserve the
truth of Republican history. save by
having it written by Democrat. Now,
take that historical Iante-convention
meeting at II. Il. Browns house, in
Minneapolis, between Gov. Merriam
and certain MISUNDERSTANDING Repub-
licans, about which two misguided Re-
publican papers are disputing. All of
the published accounts of that seance
are dead wrong. Here are the facts;
After the late census unpleasantneSS had
broken out GOV. Merriam as sent for.
He was met at the union depot with a
closed hack and taken to Mr.. Browns
palace. The leading Republican lights
were present. The proposition was
made to Gov. Merriam in blunt Ian
guage that if he would secure the with
drawal of the census prosecutions Hen
nepin county should be his, and Will
lam Hennery Eustis thrown in. The
governor made a speech in reply. He

A Couple of Divorce Gases.

The first divorce case that was on the
calendar yesterday was that of Adam
Gerrick versus Lena Gerrick, who were
married at Fairchild, Wis, in January,
1888. They lived for short time at
Winona. Gerrick told the court that
his wife had deserted him in 1885, He
said that he tried to persuade her to re-
turn to him, but his pleadings were all
useless. He supported her and treated
her kindly all the time she lived with
him, and to this his sister testified. The
divorce was granted.
A poor Swede Woman by the name of
Hannah Erickson. who lives at 80 River
flats, told her story to the court yestef-
day. She is a woman OF forty years OF
age. and her greatest misery has been
on account OF her husband not allowing
her to say her prayers and carry onssa
gospel meeting Sunday in her little
family, They were ysI married , al At
until 1856. Since that time she has sup
ported herself. Opinion vas reserved.

The price of the entertainments is so low

IN MENIORIAM.

James II. Harrison, we'll known and
respected merchant of this city, depart
ed this life Friday, Aug. l. at his resi-
dence, 6S Royalston avenue. in the
thirty-eighth year OF his age. The fol-
lowing obituary is inscribed with ten.
der memories by a friend to the
bereaved family.

a short time to live, aud is full of mis-
cries." is u sentence more especially
adopted to the whole human race, but
is one that lies at the basis OF human
thought aud pervadeS the whole of Oul

Our deceased friend, son, brother and
father passed away at that hour OF life
when his manhood's morning was al
most touching its noon, and yet, con,
scious of that all important hour, he pre-.
pared himself by the fortiiicatioE of
holy religion to meet the last dread en-.
envy of his soul. Surrounded by the
tender affection of the household, wife,
children and friends, he passed away
into that calm and sweet rest which
knows no waking.
Mr.. Harrison was connected with one
of the most highly respected families of
Western New York. His father, man
of energy and usefulness, needs but few
words, if any, to elevate his already
dignified character as Christian and a
gentleman. We must not forget to state
that our deceased friend was brother to
one of the most devoted priests Of the
Catholic church i'll the Northwest.
a man whose zeal and devotion for
Gods poor and the down-trodden col
ored race, has made him lasting name
among the Indifferent circles of St Paul
society; and we, the friends of our de-
parted friend, who are fast following
after him, will meet in this sad hour
to speak his praises, to tell his manly
charities, and TO lay with tenderness
and tears his ashes in the secret urn
of repose, and TO pray with heartfelt
sincerity that the great God, Father
of us all, will extend to him that mercy
which the bountiful charities of his
family have often bespoke in the ex-
tenuation of friendship to the poor and
the outcast of humanity.

The prices at the Grand for two weeks

the only people who frequent the sum-
mer opera performance, Swell people
90 there because time hangs heavily on
their hands, and many, no donbt,. are
anxious to escape the companionshi of
their own consciences. Gay parties in
evening dress have been by no means
uncommon at the presentation of sum
mer opera. In fact, to an outsider it
would seem that. for the ladies, the
decollete dress is even more approprl-
ate for summer wear than for winter,
when the chill and searching winds are
abroad. Bores, too, are met with as
frequently at the opera in summer as
elsewhere, probably in greater numbers
because the prices are cheap. But they
are not to be mentioned, because they
are found everywhere.

the attendance at the performances
seems to increase every year. 1t is an
interesting fact that singers are content
to come here and work and swelteT

about half the salary which they receive
during the cooler months of the year.
But they do it, and the public flocks to
see them do it. Nor is summer opera
all of that light frothy order known as
comic opera. One playhouse in Mime
apolis is now open for season
of grand opera, and, strange to say,
grand opera does not seem to have the
same effect upon the public palate as
does tragedy-that of rendering every
body tired of it in week at least. With
this result the scale Of prices adopted

SHAMED INTO ACTION,
ENGLAND FORCED TO AFFORD RE-
LIEF TO SUFFERING IRELAND.
The American Committee for the Relief
of Famine Withdraws It's Appeal for
Aid-American Generosity Did 1t.

New YORK, Nov. 9.-The American
committee for the relief of famine in
Ireland, has issued public statement
announcing that it temporarily with
draws its appeal to the American peo-
pie. The statement says: While at the
time the appeal was issued there was no
reason to believe that the distress would
be relieved otherwise than by American
generosity, the British government has
been since spurred on TO investigate the
matter and to undertake sys-
tenn of public works in the dis
tressed districts, which, by afording
partial relief, will at least postpone fam
inc. The committee has good reason to
believe that this sudden activity of the
British government is largely due to the
prompt sympathy and support spontan-
eously offered from this country, and ac-
cordingly congratulates the American
people on having secured for the suffer-
ers in Ireland substantial hope of re-
lief, without the expenditure of dollar.
1t also has been represented by the Wis.,
iting Irish delegates that it would pro-
duce an interfering element in Irish pol
itics, if aid in any shape should be sent
to Ireland by any charitable agency be-
fore the present resources of the imper-
illed peasants are exhausted. The
situation of the political parties in Ire
land is peculiar, and the committee is
strenuously anxious to avoid creating
new complications by interference Of
any sort. These representations of the
accredited ENJOYS of the Irish people are
therefore entitled to consideration, 80
long as there is no immediate danger of
actual suffering by famine. When that
point is reached, if it does, the commit
tee will, with the full approval of the
Irish leaders, renew its appeal. The
crisis will come about the close of the
year, and it will then be apparent
whether the pledges of the British gov
ernment are to be kept, and whether
the relief measures provided under its
auspices will be adequate.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. "a most remark
able romance came to light today.
Twenty-Five years ago two babies, broth
err and sister, were abandoned in Castle
Garden by their parents. They were
adopted by different people, and the
girl lived with her foster mother, Mrs.
Evans, in Philadelphia. The boy was
adopted by man named Barr, grew up,
learned trade and went to Philadel-
phia. There he met Miss Evans, fell
in love with her, and in due course of
time they were married and came to
Kansas City to live. A few years ago
Mrs. Evans died, and soon after rela-
tive in Canada died intestate, leaving a
large fortune. Detectives in searching
for Mrs. Evans's adopted child discov-
cred the story and told it to Mr.. and
Mrs. Barr. No issue has resulted from
the marriage. Legal proceedings will
at once be taken to annul it, and the
brother and sister will then take pos

today of the third anniversary of the
execution of the anarchists. Decorum
characterized all the exercises. The
speeches in. comparison with the old
time frenzied utterances, were mild
almost to tameness. The weather was
cold and cheerless. The procession
marched through several downtown
streets with banners furled and draped
with Grape. When the special train
reached the cemetery, the procession
again formed and marched past the
grave of each, as it went by depositing
it's floral offering until the graves were
piled high with mass of red and white
flowers in various designs. The
crowd then assembled in front
of a small platform and lis
tened to speeches. George Schmeidinger
said the purpose of the assemblage was
to commemorate the murder of COM
rades by the machinery of capital. l..
S. Oliver said: "The memory of the
noble dead will stir the laboring men to
do and dare, and when that time comes

SAN JOSE, Nov. ga bold conspiracy
to burn building for the insurance was
unearthed by officers here yesterday,
and J. H. Aiken, Nat Goodwin and
Charles G. Branson are now under ar
rest. Aiken, saloon keeper, with a
store worth 5000, insured for $500,
made an agreement with Branson,
his barkeeper, to burn the saloon
for 5000. Branson informed insurance
agents Roberts, Austin and Darby, and
an officer was given knowledge. On
advice of the district attorney, it was
concluded to let the fire be set, and
leave man present to smother it. The
man did not show up, and the building
was burned about half down. 1t was
the property OF James Phelan. Loss,
$500; no insurance. The agreement be-
tween Aiken and Branson was overheard
by two concealed witnesses.
