The next rift in the darkness showed a re-
markable sight. Roeber was standing on his
head. bracing himself on his hands, both feet
straight in the air and describing curve out
ward to the floor. Carkeek, on his knees, had
ROBBERS right arm and neck partly in ''single
Nelson" lock. from which the latter was break
ing away. The only way to escape from the
.'single Nelson effectively is by bending down
low. jumping on your head and turning a SOM
ersault TO the floor. This is called 1.-The spin, -
and should not be attempted by any man who
has not the strongest kind of neck. Other
wise the chances are even that be will be pickle d
up with broken neck.
THE BACK HEAvE.
One Of the most dangerous of all holds, ''the
back heave," was next illustrated by the
athletes in the dark. Carkeek had grasped
Roeber by the right arm and shoulder and
with the aid of the reverse heave'-a combi-
nation movement Of arm and hip TO elevate an
opponent, had hoisted him on his back When
the camera caught the pair Carkeek was strain
ing to throw Roeber over his head. but in vain
for the Hanoverian had secured hold on Car
keek's left leg with his right foot that effect
ually stopped the latters tactics. A back
heave" at the hands of strong wrestler would
place his rival hors du combat in q twinkling
and might disable him.

Nor bridge that DER gulf extends,
TIL you are on the farther side;
Nor purse, howe'er so tightly tied,
Till you know what 1t comprehends.

doing moderate work requires ~ OF. nitro

carbohydrates, i.e., bread sugar and the
starchy vegetables. and o. of salts. This is
represented by u pounds Of meat and 2 pounds
Of bread, or seventeen hens eggs daily. A
woman requires q tenth less food than a man.
After forty the diet should be sparing. All this
ought 10 be worked OF without producing un>
cred wrong. as it threw too much work on the
kidneys and starved the system elsewhere.
The Ebstein system, which has been fol-
lowed in Germany. gives much fat in the
diet and restricts articles that contain
sugar and starch, on the theory that fat
assists by its Transformation into heat in elm

Parnell even If home rule were put
back for fifteen years. A grave
crisis has undoubtedly been caused
by the publication of Mr.. GladStone'S
letter, but the Irish members, their
leader in .luded, may be relied on to act
in this crisis with the same patriotism,

THREE OF A KIND.
Illicit Love Brings Trouble in Its
Wake

There are now three eases before the courts
involving illicit love. Yesterday afternoon
Charles Miller was srraigned before Judge
Mahoney on the charge of bastardy, pre-
ferTed by Bertha Theme. Miller Is a painter
by trade. and boards at the American house,
where Bertha is employed as domestic.
Their intimacy began nearly year ago, and
on the 2oIh of last April il eliminated. Mil
lers ease was continued until thus morning.
Ii will probably be settled by marriage cere-
money, as Miller says he is willing to make
ali the reparation i'll his power.
Another similar case is that OF Mary Olson,
chamberInaid employed ut the Arlington
hotel, on Second street north, who has pre-
terred 4 complaint against John Merrick, Il
bartender. formerly employee i'll the same
house. About week ago. upon the com
plant or Miss Olson, a warrant was sworn
out but Withdrawn shortly afterward upon
the girls statement that matters had been
compromised ana the presentation of an affi
dan stating the charges 10 be false. On
Monday, however, Miss OlsoIi, accompanied
iy her sister, also employed at the Arlington.
called upon the county attorney and said
said there was absolutely no truth in the atfi
davlt. She said she signed the document in
lawyers office, but dld not understand its
purport. The sister was very indignant. The
Olson girls are from Yellow medicine county.
The younger Miss Olson has been taken to u
hospital, ana the case may be prosecuted yei.
Late Tuesday afternoon John W. Glenn.
son OF NJ. w. Glenn, the well-known saloon
keeper. was arraIgned OH the same charge
preferred by Annie Robbins. The alleged
intercourse is stated to have taken place
April 20. Miss Robbins is twenty years of
age and a resident of South Minneapolis,
where she has always been held i'll esteem
by all who enjoy her acquaintance. The
case WAS continued until Monday, with bail
hNed at $500. Glenn furnished bail. Mar
riage Will probably settle the case. Miss
Robbins is now at Bethany Home.

GRIMES OBJECTS.
He Doesn't See Why the Aldermen
Are Responsible for Those I'm
paid Street Bills.

Il don't think that the newspapers have
put the Eighth ward aldermen iu- quite the
right light on this question of the non-pay-
ment of our street lanorers." said Aid.
Grimes to a GLoBE reporter yesterday. 1t
has been said that we hired the men to work
OH the streets without having any money in
the street fund TO pay them. Now that is
right, and it isn't right. Our ward fund was
S24, 200. We have used only S10.nU But
$4,000 of that fund is still due from taXpay-
ers who have become delinquent. SO, you
see, we have spent $1,000 more than was
actually on hand, but $1,000 less than
we were authorized to spend. The alder
men are given power 10 employ men, but the
comptroller cant draw warrants for paying
them until ali the taxes have BEEN collected.
Now don't see why The city can't take the
money from some other fund to pay those
men. Our fund lacks 81, of being all
used up. The city hasn't received all the
money, of course, but it is due and will be
eventually paid iu. Meanwhile, through the
penalties OF delinquency the city is drawing
10 per cent intereSt on that $500 which re-
mains unpaid. The city can't lose by paying
Il es men. 1t seems queer to me that we
can be authorized TO spend money which is
due us while the comptroller isn't empOw
cred to pay the money. dent see where We
have been to blame. We simply went ahead
With our street work because we knew that
all The street fund had not been expended"

LONDON. Nov. 26.-To-day's events
have not relieved the tension, but rather
have accentuated the Parnell complica-
honS OF the situation. Mr.. Gladstone's
letter produced a strong impression
upon the NationaliSts last evening, and
from the indications given at the hastily
summoned meeting il seemed that there
was every reason TO believe that to-day
would bring about new developments
which would lead to an amicable ar
rangement of the trouble. But, al
though the conferences held to-
day prove that great divergence of
Mr. Parnell is firmly resolved
TO adhere to his decision and
that unless a vote OF no confidence is
passed 10y his followers he will not alb
dleate the leadership. To-day, after
long and earnest discussion of the sit
uatiOn, in which the most candid and
outspoken opinions were given, Mr..
Parnell positively gained a victory.
The members, however, who advocated
his retentiOh, deprecated the idea of

The meeting adjourned after nearly
three hours of Speechma ing in order
To OBTAIN the views of the absent menl-
bers of the party. A careful inquiry
brings out the fact that little
doubt exists as to the upshot of the mat
ter. When the party reassembIeS Mon
day it is probable that Mir. Parnell will
again be urged to retire by section of
his supporters. but already reaction in
his favor has set in, and if vote is
taken it is expected that large major
ity will be found upon his side. The
Welsh members of the party held a
meeting to-day and resolved that they
were convinced that the price of retain
ing Nj. Parne!l in the leadership would
be the pOStpOnement of home rule be-
yond the span of Mr.. Gladstone's public
life. and that they are more determined
than ever to rally to the support of Mr..
