PHILADELPHIA TINES: AS all exam
pie of pure gall there has been moth,
ing lately to surpass the spectacle OF
Blair, of New Hampshire, proposing
rule to limit debate in the senate.
If there had been such rule when
Blair was making his three weeks
speech on the educational bill there
might have been some justification
in putting it in force. There is not
likely to be another provocation so
great as that.

The Fort Worth Gazette says the
decrease of livestock in Colorado,
Wyoming and Texas commenced
four years ago, but since then has
been great. In 1856 Texas had
2.OOO,O 900 more bovine numbers than
if has to-day. and Colorado, Wyo-
ming and New Mexico had four
years ago about 100000 more than
tbey have now. In Kansas, Nebras-
ka. Iowa and the Northwest there
has been a shrinkage of as many
more. Hard winters and low prices
for beef have brought this about.

The Austin Statesman thinks that
the acceptance by Gov. Ross of the
presidency of the Agricultural and
Mechanical college at Bryan marks
an era in the history of that institu-
ton as well as that of Texas, under
whose protection it is. tits seldom,
very seldom, the governor of a great
State lelinquishes the possession OF
power to become the director of an
educational institution, however high
in the list of universities. But at
Bryan Gen. Ross will be the right
man in the right place, Just as he
has abundantly proven himself in the
chair gubernatorlal. A military man
himself, educated IN the army, who
learned his lessons on the battlefelds
of the civil war, he will be a most
appropriate appendage to the Mill,
tary feature of the Bryan institution.

The New York Star has most
accounts come from Sa-
lonica, where, in three of the dis
tricts of the Viayet, the harvest is
total loss, no rain having fallen IN
fourteen months. The consequence
is general restitution and want, for
it is only the grain crops that have
failed, but all the other crops on
which the population depend for the
exchange of goods. 1t is estimated
that nearly 100000 persons will
have to be furnished with the means
of subsistence until next harvest,
and the necessary seed for their next
sowing. Unless immediate measures
are taken to relieve the people the
country will be given over to an
archy and disease, which may be
turned to political account. The
Porte has become so alarmed by the
fear that the poverty stricken popu-
lation of Constantinople might be-
come source of disorder, that hun
dreds of beggars and well-known
vagabonds have recently been ex-
PEELED and deported to Smyrna
Adrianople, and other inland towns,
to the grief and trouble of those 10
calities. This shunting of the hu,
man rubbish of Constantinople into
the provinces is partly the cause o.
the increasing brigandage, and vii

JUST A VAGRANT.
But Once John G. Morrow Was a
Brilliant Lawyer.

But Once John @. Morrow Was a
Brilliant Lawyer.
1t was a sorry-looking object that
arose in the municipal court yesterday
morning in response to the name of
John Brady" Notwithstanding he
was in very truth, but not even the
dirty, ragged clothes which were almost
dropping from his tall, spare form, could
hide something which seemed to indi-
cate that the man was not always as
nova vagrant. There was that in the
noble forehead and the piercing gray
eye which spoke of intellect now be-
logged by dissipation and wretched-
ness. The prisoner was vagrant,
without any means of support; no
home, no money, likewise a drunkard.
He did not deny it, and he was
accordingly sent to the workhouse
for thirty days; but, vagrant
though he now is, there was time
when he was an hOnored citizen of
Minnesota. standing high at the bar
and recognized as man Of exceptional
talent. But too much of another kind
of bar had proved his ruin. His true
name was John G. Morrow. During the
war he was colonel of Minnesota regi-
meet. When the Rebellion closed he
took up the practice of law at Faribault
and soon became known as one of the
most brilliant advocates in the state.
An uncomfortable appetite for liquor,
and later addiction to the use of NOR
phine, however, ruined him, and now
he must cOnSOrt with the lowest of the
earth in that home of tie refuse of
great citY-the wOrkhOuSe.

SUNDAY BUSINESS.
Two Saloonkeepers Arrested for

Two Sa1oonkeepers Arrested for
Selling Liquor on the Sabbath.
Two salOonkeepers were arraigned
yesterday in the municipal court charged
with selling liquor on Sunday. William
Brueshaber, who runs saloon on the
East side, was the first to come up. He
pleaded guilty, was promptly fined $50,
and then entered upon an explanation.
He said he had done no worse than his
neighbors, even though he had sold
liquor on Sunday. He used to close up
religiously on Sunday. he said, and then
go to other saloons to buy drinks.
Finally he decided that if other saloon
keepers we're to be allowed to run on
Bean, of the East side police station,
was asked about the matter, but he
strenuously denied that East side sa-
looms were allowed to do Sunday bus
mess. In passing sentence, the judge
said:
81 have about made up my mind to
send offenders against the Sunday clos
ing law to the rock pile. mean to see
this law inforced AS far as in me lies. |
am not chief of police, nor do propose
to make it my business to hunt up evil
dence, but the law must be inforced or
repealed"
A. G. Green. who runs saloon on
Washington avenue between Fourth
and Fifth avenues south, was the other
saloonkeeper arrested. The complaint
in his case was made by two DISCHARGED
employees of the Hotel Grace, A. w.
Happe and Robert Edwards. These
men claim that the hotel entrance was
used for getting into the saloon, and
that for that, Miller, the hotel pro-
prietor, received S25 per month. Miller
and Green say the young men caused
the arrest out of spite because they
were not given SIS to keep their mouths
shut. Green will be tried tomorrow.

AFTER TwENTY-NINE YEARS
The Minnesota Baptist AssOcia-
ton Will Be Divided.

The principal feature of the meeting
of the Baptist Association of Minnesota,
held yesterday at Christ church, was
the decision to divide the present asso-
citation into two bodies. This change
for the reason that it was thought bet
ter work could be accomplished, as
each of the two associations would be
less cumbersome than the large body,
and could cover a larger field OF
church work. On the first day of
the meeting, the cammittee on Organiza-
ton, consisting of Revs. W. 81. Burdick,
81. H. Judson, Rev. ID. u. McLaurin
and Rev. R. G.. Mosher, set to work
upon the matter, and yesterday morn
ing the report was prepared. Accord
ing to the new plan, Minneapolis and
St. Paul are each to be used as central
point Of one of the new organizations.
In the st. Paul association are included
the following churches: Hastings,
Lakeland. Newport, st. Paul Park, Still
water, Lake City and Red Wing, in adj
dition to the seven churches in st. Paul.
In the Minneapolis distrsct the follow
ing churches are included: Anoka,
Bethel, Brooklyn Center, Maple Grove,
Monticello, Oak Grove, Richfield, North

The women and orphans fund will be
divided equally between the organiza-
tions, and two committees of FIVE will
meet together and make all necessary
arrangements for the future time of
meeting. Committees will also be ap-
pointed to take care of the missionary
fund.
Rev. Wallace Butrick, of st. Paul, de-
Iivered an address on 'The Freedmen"
after which Mrs. w. s. Bartells, direct
ress of the women's home mission work,
reported that $1,593.2s had been given
during the year, and that balance re-
NAMED on hand of $500. The report
also stated that the mission had prom
ised 81, 900 to the training Rschool build
ing, and had exceeded that sum by
$3.50. Miss Joanna Moore, for twenty
seven years missionary among the
negroes in the South. spoke of her work
during that time.
In the afternoon, Rev. D. D. Mac
Lourin delivered an address, which
was followed by Rev. G. l.. Morrill, with
one of his characteristic sermons. Prof.
J.W. Ford and Rev. T. j. Llewellyn fin
ished the afternoon exercises. In
the evening Rev. w. w. Dawley spoke
upon minnesota as Mission Field"
and Rev. Wayland Hoyt, d. D., spoke
upon Baptist educational interests.
Rev. II. c. Mabie closed the addresses
and the meeting with an earnest appeal
for help for foreign missions, and told
of the good they were doing. During
the evening the Calvary Male Quartette
and the Genital Quartette rendered some
beautiful musical numbers.

STEALING HIS PAsTIME.
How the Merry Burglar Now
Amuses Himself in Minneapolis.

How the Merry Burglar Now
Amuses Himself in Minneapolis.
There is an unusual amount of buf-
glary being done in Minneapolis now.
Dozens of houses are entered which are
never mentioned in the papers, the POI
lice being most unwilling to say any,
thing about them, the more so as but
few of the thieves are ever caught. The
burglars are of all schools from the
STRAIGHT hOuSebreaker to the "SecOna
story worker. Reports of their depre-
dations come from all parts of the citYs
clothing, jewelry and silverware being
the kind of property most sought after.
From North Minneapolis comes story
of a burglar who has been working ex-
tensively and who takes nothing from
his victims but gold watches. A
silver watch is no temptation
to him, although he occasionally
condescends to appropriate piece OF
silverware if it be valuable-Dothing
less than good triple plate. Even i'll
the stealing of gold watches this burglar
sometimes exhibits most aesthetic
taste. One story related concerning
him is to the effect that he has been
known to refuse to steal filled cases,
gold at that, even when made by the
standard manufacturers.
But the burglar who does the best
work, especially under the present adj
ministration. which controls the city as
it was never before controlled, if the
admin istration hurdy-gurdies may be
he believed. is the burglar who takes
every thing in sight. In addition to the
housebreaker who has been enjoying
himself in the vicinity of Fifth street
and Tenth avenue south. another has
been making his presence known out
along Hennepin avenue beyond the
public library building. One of this
sort entered the house of 81. G. EverS,
at 1929 Hennepin, by prying off the
bolts of the back door some time yes
terday morning, and proceeded to en-
act the Old Hoss act. He took two
overcoats, suit of clothes, some shoes
and toilet case belonging to Mr.. Evers.
and several articles of jewelry, the
property of Mrs. Evers. One Overcoat,
the suit of clothes and the toilet case
was recovered yesterday from the pawn
shop at 2271a Washington avenue north.
but the other property is still missing.
Mr.. Evers says the police told him that
this same pawnbroker is believed to
be fence pure and simple, as
he never will identify the persons
from whom he has received stolen
goods when the owner appeared. De-
spite the fact that the police believe
him a fence, he is still allowed to do bus
mess. The police department is not
making a brilliant record gently.
