The Chautauqua circle met as announced,
Monday evening al the home of Mrs. G.. FL.
Hazard. The attendance was very good,
there being nearly the full membership pres
ent, and the programme. though somewhat
curtailed or account of the absence of sew
eral members, was none the less interesting.
Especially was Mrs. Dr. Pringle's paper
worthy of mention. This was a clever de-
scription of the city of Conslantinople, its
people and the customs in vogue among
them. 1t was an unusually well written arti.
Gle. and besides being entertainingit was full
of information. Mrs. j. B. Rossman's paper
upon the Emperor Constantine" was also
good, being a thorough portrayal of the char
iacter of that historical parsonage. A discus
sion upon the subject ''Why am a Nation
lalist and Why 1 am Not" closed the pro-
gramme. Il. X. Evans led, after which the
question was taken up generally. The circle
will meet next Monday evening with Mrs.

TROUBLNs OF A MAYOR.
Why Life Has Become Burden to
Hon. G. T.. Babb.


Alas. poor Mayor Babb! He seems
determined to keep himself in hot
water, either with his own thoughts.
whenever he chances to have any, or
with the public. The capacious mayor
was wounded full sore when certain
leaders of his party 1scribed the defeat
of Potter to the unpODularity of the
Babb administration, and the good old
gentleman from the Eighth ward had
himself interviewed Immediately that
he might deny the foul aspersions
against his reign. In that famous
interview 1t will lie remembered that
Babb denied that he was responsible for
the close communion state of affairs
which had existed. He had been forced
into it, he said, by his colleagues on the
police commission. He wanted. he
declared, to he "a good fellow" or
words to that effect. As soon as the re-
pGrter's coat tails had disappeared Babb
buItOned up his coat, put on a magis-
teral frOwn, reached down into his
thoracic cavity for some deep notes,
marched into police headquarters
TO see that all saloons were
kept hermeticaily sealed Sunday until
h term of Office should expire. They
were. therefore, closed up tight. or were
supposed 10 be, week ago Sunday.
Last Sunday the mayor came down
town to do little police work himself.
He thought he saw people going into
Kent'S saloon on Third street ana COM
ing out with their handkerchiefs to their
mouths. His honor's heart was
troubled. Rumor has it that he went
down to the Nicollet lobby TO commune
with himself, and there saw thirsty men
refreshing themselves. but said nothing.
He went down town yesterday and pro-
ceeded to haul Officer White over the
Goals for not arresting Kent. But White
told him that Kent's saloon was not on
his beat and the mayor said never
word more. Later. however, an inqnisi-
ton was Instituted, and several COM
handing officers were lectured. But
that is not all. Several saloonkeepers
who clused up on Sunday affirm that
they intend finding out why the law
isn't enforced against everybody alike.

She Will Be buried This After
noon From Her Late Residence
on Fifth Avenue South.
Mrs. Albert Ii. Tuffnell, whose IN
happy domestic life and desperate at
tempt at suicide has been chroI icled in
the columns of the GLOBE, died yester
day morning in the neighborhood of 5
O'Clock in St. Anthony's hospital.
Mrs. Tutfnell, it may be remembered,
Walter A. Leavitt, in the Globe build
ing in this city. about 5 o'clock last Sat
urday afternoon. Mr.. Leavitt repre-
scented the unfortunate lady's husband
in the settlement of the eStrangement
between him and herself. After the
shooting she was removed to the ST.
Anthony hospital. where she was regu-
larly attended up to the time of Der
death by the hospital nurses and physi-
clans. Every effort was made to save
her life, and when it became apparent
that she would certainly die the knowl-
edge of her impending fate was made
known to- her. She then sent for Rev.
w. 3. Hamilton, her pastor, and Dr.
Gates, friend of the family. and TO the
latter she contided her two children. the
offspring of her marriage to a f. q. Glib
son. who died some time before she had
welded Mr.. Tuffnell. The life of an
unborn infant went out with the life of
its mother.
Mrs Tuffnell will be buried this af-
ternoon at $3.50. The funeral services
will take place at her former residence,
No. 1928 Fifth avenue south. Efforts
have been made to communicate with
the husband of the dead woman, but up
to late hour last night no word or news
had been received of or from him. 1t has
been intimated that Mr.. Tuffnel is not
altogether TO blame for the unhappy re-
latlUnS existing between his wife and

WINSTON SHOULD PREPARE.
He Will Receive a Call from Min
neapoiis Ministers.

The evangelical ministers monthly
meeting was well attended yesterday
morning. DR.. Kincaid did not appear to
read a paper as was expected, and in
his stead Rev. G. NJ. Heard read one on
THE CHARACTERIZATION of the Masses"
MIR. Heard's idea is that the church
could not expect to save the people un-
less it adopted direct methods of dealing
with them. The pastors and workers
should 20 among the people and appeal
personally to them. Preaching in
itself was not enough. The brethren
present all agreed with Rev. Mr..
Heard in this. But Rev. Mr.. Showers
in the course of his comments on the
papers made an assertion which his fell
low cIergymen did not ndorsp. Mr..
Showers said it WIS fact to be deplored
that the churches had so few unprO-
fessed Christians amung their congre-
cations. 1t WAS the uncOnverted who
needed religious teaching the most. A
vote on the question showed that thirty
pastors preach to large members of un-
professed Christians. while only four
thought differently.
Before the meeting came to close.
something was said about the next
municipal administration, the result of
which is that MlayOr-elect Winston can
prepare himself for a clerical visitation
or communication from the preserv-
ers of public morals. which is much the
same thing, and calculated to produce
the same result. A committee has al
ready been appointed by the different
denominational churches, with instruc-
tons to endeavor to induce Mr.. Win
ston to enforce the Sunday laws. This
committee consists OF the following
pastors: Rev. DR.. BurrelI, Rev. Dr.
Tiffany, S. w. Dickinson, NJ. F. NegUs
and w. j. Lhamon. 1t was decided that
DR.. Burrell be requested to convene
this cOmmitte at an early date.

Bad as Naming a Baby.

There is fight on out in Parker, or
RobbinsdaIe. if you please, for it is
called by both names. and-it is all over
a name. The place is a suburb of Min
neapolis, out on the Great Northern
road. When the road was put through
there the station was named Parker,
for the man who had donated the depot
site. The A. B. Robbins plated some
property there and called it Robbins
dale, afterward inducing the railroad
to change the name of the station to
Robbinsdale. But the postGffice re-
NAMED Parker, so Senator Washburn
was induced to have The name of that
changed TO RObbinsdale. That was the
last straw. The Parker partisans rose
up, brought pressure TO bear and had
the postoffice renamed Parker. So 1t

brunt of the trial. so far as the expense
was concerned. In the event of a sec

BILE for the costs in the case. Mr.. Blais-
dell's illness has compelled him to leave
the city for the winter, and without him
the case would not be prosecuted.
Mr.. Than, the new county attorney,
is not sufficiently familiar with the case
to try it, and Mr.. Jamison, perhaps, does
no care, under the circumstances, to
place the responsibility of the cases

believed that the citizens of the county

Indicated method of terminating the

the original trial before its conclusion,

diminished. Unless some positive

John Norton Threatens to Carry
the Matter to the Courts.
John Norton is aroused because the
council did not award him the fuel con-
tracts, since he was the lowest bidder.
Now he threatens to make trouble.
Said he yesterday:
On all occasions have filed NV contracts
according to the letter of the law. There has
been good deal of hearsay evidence against
me. but they have always failed to prove the
charges, and defy them to do it. 1t is all
Tom Downs work. If the council does not
reverse its action at the next meeting and
award the contract to me, will certainly ap-
peal TO the courts.
One of the aldermen who helped to
keep the contracts away from Norton
springs a new one on him thus:
The council couldn't have awarded Nor
ton the contract anyway, for the city charter
forbids any city officer or employe of the
city from entering into any business CON
tract with the city, and especially states that
any such contract Is void. Now Norton was
elected member of the board of education
and goes intooffice Jan. 1. This shuts him ont
OF entering into any contract with the city,
The fact that he does not assume the duties
of his Office until the first of next month
doesn't alter the case.

DECLINE AND FALL.
What Happened in the Case OF
Charles e. Handy.

Charles e. Handy.
About two years ago one Charles E.
Handy was Minneapolis "blood." He
was member of the chamber OF COM
merce. lived at the best hotels and spent
his money like prince of the blood.
Now he is said to be an amateur news
paper man in San Francisco. More
over. he is said to be heavily in debt,
something like $50, 900 being the amount
ut which his deficiency is placed.
Last Saturday evening after court
hours Marcus l.. Hayne. acting as at
torney for Louis L. and Hal p. Watson,
quietly filed papers against Handy to
recover $1,64O,75, which the firm of
Watson & Co. claim the ex-Minneapoli-
tan owes them for money advanced for
wheat. These deals, made in behalf of
Handy, cover the period between June
l. 1873, and April 10, 1889, and as a
corollary to the complaint it is stated
that Handy has repeatedly pramised
to pay what moneys are due the firm of
Watson IL Co., but has subsequently
refused TO pay the S1,64C.75 or any part
thereof"
1t is claimed that he also owes Boyd,
Paxton Il Boyd, the Chicago firm whose

The special council committee on the

the ultimate adoption of this sys-

DR.. kilvington ever proposed this
method to the committee he had con-
ferred with the railroads and had been
assured that the hauling would be- done
for SIS per car at the most. DIR. Kilying-
ton is enthusiastic over this enterprise.
Said he yesterday:

Why Close 1t?

Caroline King, S. F. Hance, A. H.
Heaton and j. f. Atkinson are raising
row, so to speak, over the abandon
ment of the construction of street in
the neighborhOOd of Vine Place, be-
tween Franklin and Redwood avenues.
The new thoroughfare is or was to be
known as Lindley avenue, and is really
the continuation of PiIlsbury avenue.
A fence is thrown across it. Jointly
owned by the property holders. and the
street is declared by some of them no
thoroughfare. The commissioners or
dered this street opened. paid A. G.
Parkhurst 1854 for curling it. and some
body for grazing it, and then the city
council closes it. 1t is not known why
the street was abandoned.
