MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

Chaplain Allen Allensworth, it ap-
pears, stated in lecture that it is
custom in parts of Norway for the wom-
all of the house to kiss the stranger
after he had been snugly tucked away
beneath the blankets. An evening
paper had Just time enough to think the
matter over and then protest that the
chaplain is morally and physically
wrong in his statement. The suppose
ton IS that the kiss editor telegraphed
to Christiana for information. Probably
he thought Of spending his vacation
there.
Quite salacious story is published in
regard toa sensation in high life, In
which two young men are to do fistic
battle for the possession of the affec-
tons of the young lady. The story
teller mentions that one young man
holds the rems over one of Tom Lowry's
car horses and the other checks up the
nimble nickel on the indicator. He
fails to state that the maiden has charge
of the kitchen for suburban family
and in all probability had red hair.
Thus is the modern newspaper article
colored tor effect.
The Wilbur Opera company is to come
to Minneapolis. but. alas. for three
nights only, and the local youth who
pins his affections on cigarette ana
mammoth cane will hardly find that
time enough to win for himself the al
fectionS of n pair of tights, spangled
doublet and the fair being that accom-
panieS them.
Minneapolis did not play ball yester-
day. so the local nine had no Oppor-
tunity to increase its lead on the hated
but husky rivals from Beerville. Elmer
Smith, the southpaw wizard of Kansas
City, is getting rested, preparatory to
bowling down the Wisconsin SluggerS
again. Smith is fayorite with the
local cranks as long as he doesn't pitch
against the Minneapolis team.
Several of the young betting men
of Minneapolis had the right tip and
caught that eight to one shot at the
races yesterday. The chances are that
the only way they can be ahead of the
books is to stay away from the track
the balance Of the time.
Everybody seemed anxious to find out
the result of the professional three
mile race at Duluth last night, and local
news. With the majority of local
sports Gaudaur was hot favorite, and
every one seemed anxious to have him
win. The Lurlines will get a great re-
ception when they return.
Word comes from Winnipeg that the
DeShon Opera company is playing TO
packed houses nightly. When the av-
erage homeliness of the women of the
Northern metropolis is taken into con-
sideratiOn, it is no wonder that the for
mer Baker ladies can pose as beauties.
The list of cracked hearts among the
male WinnipeggerS does not accom-
pany the report.
The young men of Minneapolis are
going to bed early these nights to get
well rested preparatory to the grand
time they expect to have at the opening
of the Twin City Athletic club. Tuesday
evening. The rumorS of the extensive
enjoyment to be had tell Of something
immense.
When Minneapolis gets its lucifer
factory in full operation, it will not be
only the local matronS who are engaged
IN matchmaking. Several score of Flour
City maidens will do large amount
of it.
The alien banana peddler is becom-
ing familiarized with one good Yankee
expression that he will have to add to
his limited stock of English. He will
either have to know the meaning of
'move on" or pay $40 into the city treas
ury.
The styles for men change almost as
materially as those of women. In Min
neapOls the proper thing now is pair
of blonde shoes and brunette hat.
