Story of Remarkable City, With
Biographical sketches of Promi-
nent Men.
So rapid has been the growth of st.
Paul, SO many events have been
crowded into the half century of its ex-
istence, that succinct, reliable history
OF the city is invaluable to the library
of every business and professional man.
Such history has been a long felt
want in st. Paul, for, although much
has been written about the city
and the early settlers, it was
of so fragmentary character as to be ut
terly devoid of any practical value. At
last, however complete history of st.
Paul, with illustrations and biograph-
zeal sketches or its prominent men and
pioneers. has been published by ID.
Mason 81 Co., of Syracuse. n. Y. The
history displays careful research, and
the story of the unprecedented progress
of st. Paul, its municipal government,
manufacturing interests and marked ed
ucatiOnaliStS is told in a clear and
interesting way. Gen. G. c. Andrews,
painStaking, scholarly historian is the
editor of the history, and his assistants
include the Rev. E. d. Neill. d. d.;
Hon. ii. F. Stevens and Prof. j.
fleCcner Williams. DE-, Nelll con-
tributes the first four chapters, COM
prising the early history of the city,
which, as an early settler, he is ad-
mirably fitted to write on. The four
chapters are entitled: 1.-The Vicinity
of st. Paul During the French Occupa-
tom" British Traders in Minnesota"
and Vicinity of st. Paul From the
Establishment of Military Post
Until Its incorporation as a City"
Mr.. Stevens contributes the chapter on
the Bench and Bar" and Prof. Will
lams gives an authentic account of
1.-The Press" Both chapters are adj
mirably written, and their intrinsic
value lies in the short, smart, pithy pict-
ures of the past and present veterans
in law and journalism. A tabulated
list of the leading events in the history
of st. Paul from the year 1854 is
feature of the volume. Excellent as
is the general outline of the history,
the biographical sketches and illustra-
tons are in themselves superb works of
art, and the data of the lives of the men
who have made st. Paul all that it is to-
day must be hailed with the heartiest
appreciation of later generation.

make her one OF the leading ilotltu-
tons of the house, for if she has had
many wears experience as hOusekeep-
er. she knows how much suffering can
be caused by the servant girl who is
willing to do nothing and who only
wants the earth on a silver plate in
payment for it.
The eye of the veteran servant girl
lights up with sort of cruel Joy when
she looks into the face of very new
housekeeper who was bride only few
weeks before, and who now knows
rather less about the chemistry of bread
baking than young sparrow would.
The servant girl, who, by the way, is
not always as much of girl as that
name would imply, sizes up the young
hOusekeeper in an instant and recog-
niZes her prey. In the ordinary rela-
lions between employer and employee, if
anybody assumes dictatorial manner,
it is the employer. Here the case is en-
tirely reversed.
The young housekeeper, trembling
and nervous, answers in the most salts
factory manner in her power the strict
and stern questions which the servant
girls put to her, questions relating to
stationary waShtubs. Sunday out and
followers" 1t is always the servant
girl who dictates the terms. Some
times the young housekeeper gets
servant girl who is reliable, polite and
industrious. In such a case the latter
is "a thing of beauty and JOY for
ever" but servant girls of that kind are
very scarce. Some times she is too fond
of literature. When the young mother
goes out to pay a visit, and leaves the
5aby in charge of the servant girl, per
haps she will carefully watch over the
infant, and then again perhaps she
won't.
Quite as likely as not, while she is
absorbed in the loves of Mortimer and
Clarissa. the baby is engaged in falling
out of its crib. crawling into the fire, or
eating something which is apt to disa-
gree with its anatomy. Some servant
girls are rough jewels, but others are
very uncertain. The summit of ''un-
certainty was shown in ST. Paul not
long ago when a servant. who had been
sent to give baby an airing in a per.
ambulatOr, quietly wheeled the child to
her own home and left it there while
she took her own infant sister for an
airing in the same carriageNThe lady

that this deadly weapon has had very
little range in st. Paul. So far as
known, there has been but one case of
genuine sandbagging within the past
year-tnat is to say one case in which it
was actually shown the towards weapon
was used. That was when j. w. Best,
GLOBE proof reader, was assaulted by
thugs on Cedar street, near Tenth, and
relieved of the numerous valuables al
ways Secreted about the person of a
newspaper man. As a matter of fact,
st. Paul is one of tho few large cities of
the union that has not large
and variegated collection of muir
demonstrating weapons, from the
iron bar of the highbindel. in the Gus

strument with which it was made, oIten
furnishes the first clew to the identity
of the aSsaiant. Thus, blow from
sand club would point unerringly to
the work of footpad, while one from
slungshot would indicate that the sailor
crimp had been at WORK, just as plainly
as an ordinary knife stab would point
to a hoodlum quarrel. If the weapon is
left behind, as is often the case, the
police can determine almost with GER
tainty the character of the man who
welded it.
A curious slungShot, shown in the

Yesterday was busy day at head

from Chicago after securing all he asked
for from the railroad meeting there, was

regarding reduced rates. The commit

8 p.m There were present l.. j. Dob

Thompson and P. T. Kavanagh. The
resignation of Thomas Cochran Jr. as a
member of the committee was presented
and accepted. The committee directed
Mr.. Marvin as subcommittee to Sc
cure contracts with hotels of the city,
and report at the next meeting. The
question of adding five ladies to the
committee was deferred until the next
meeting. ID. w. Walker, secretary of
the Iowa state committee of the n. E..

for the entertainment of the Iowa dele
cation during the convention. The

ius has at last overcome the most baf-
fling obstacles nature has put in his
way. A submarine boat has been in
vented; vessel that will sail as Sc
curely beneath the ocean as ships sail
on its surface. That boat will be on
exhibition at the st. Paul museum next
week. 1t is an interesting machine,
constructed to meet the most
gigantic difficulties, and is
the latest triumph of mans
power over nature. 1t is fulfiliment
of the prophecy that Jules Verne, the
romancer, made few years ago, when
he wrote his famous story. ''Ten Thou
sand Leagues Under the Sea-" and de-
scribed the strange adventures of the
craft that was built to sail under the
sea.
The boat will be on exhibition in the
curiO hall, and among the other curios-
tiles is Tibinigueeshie. the Ojibua
phenomenon. A little Indian midget,
twenty-five years old. and thirty-two
inches high, weighing fifty-four pounds.

And all unchanged; the water signs
Still in that bay, and still the breeze
Sings low, sweet songs amid the trees.

By clustering branches; wayelets fill
The river whispering near the door;
That white path meets the threshold still,
And birds chirp love with bill to bill.
That rude old bridge still spans the stream;
The passers few are passing yet;

For ne'er was sail since furled or set.
