MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

Ed A. Stevens. the little joker, has re-
turned from attending the Druids' con-
vention at Detroit, Mich. He is quite
tickled over his little jokelet of Great
ing a suspicion in the minds of Pioneer
Press reporters and emotional CORE
spondentS of Chicago papers that he
had hidden himself in the WlldS OF Can
ada, and disguised hin self by chang
ing his tone of voice. AS he is not all
official of the retrenchment and reform
administration, however, he failed to
create much CONSERVATION by means of
those postal cards mailed from Wind
sOr, Ont.
He carried very yellow handbag, a
big cane, an umbrella, a hat box and
couple of English travelling rugs, with
glass stuck in one eye. He poked his
eXpreSsionlesS face into the lookup yes
terday afternoon and mildly inquired:
Calm you tell me, officah. when the
next twain leaves faw Moo Yawk, ahnd
will you kindly place me luggage IN the
Van?"
NV hat?" yelled Capt. Dan Day, as his
fine-cut chin adornmentS began to curl
in threatening manner.
Il want the next twain, doncher-
know. | want to get back to Moo 1aWk.
We knaw. It's me home, ye know"
Then,a the captain began to look ugly,
thinking that he was being guyed, the
apparition inqnired: ''Isn't this the
crntrahl station? A pehson out avn
the sweet told me it was"
The captain then began to see what
was wanted, so he directed the young
man to the union depot; and. as it
moved down the alley he broke in with:
"Well, I'll he darned if that amt an
other o'them fellers that. don't know
enough to say deepo."
An evening paper is publishing a
story entitled THE Mystery of Turk
ish Bath" 1t is promised that sequel
will be published under the title of
The Man Who Hit Me With Wet
Towel"
Dame Rumor hath it that when the
W. &. L. U. attempts to close up the
Jumbo, as that organization evidently
intends doing. it will find itself with an
elephant OH its hands.
A musical journal, called the Or
pheuS, has been established in Mime
apolis. The fact that the musical peo-
pie of Minneapolis require the services
of an OrpheuS to lead them is anything
but credit to the city. The real Or
pheus did not visit heaven.
Somebody will do we'll to work up a
corner on supers next month. The Last
Days of Pompeii spectacle takes about
500, and the spectacle of Nero, given in
connection with Barnum'S circus, re-
QuireS about 1,500 supernumerarieS.
Cap Thombs, of Duluth. is coming
to Minneapolis to run the Theatre Co.
mique, and Cap Brown goes to that
winter resort to run a similar paradise
for lumbermen. By this change of
"Cap"-ital Minneapolis is probably not
much the loser.
"Well, well, well. Mar'get! Dthis do

The speaker had just come i'll on the
emigrant limited, and he was gazing in
open-eyed establishment at the tar heat
ers in use along L. Lowry's Washington
avenue.
