MINNEAPOLIS.
FROM OUR PINNACLE.

And the song and dance man more OLD
chestnuts don sing.
Or the MINISTRIES practice the things that
they preach,
And The courts of the city equality teach.
And the Twin Cit, stock yards will slaughter
each day
Then the School of Fine Arts will charge
less per term
TO the publie's young children who're anx-
ious TO learn.
And not ask profit TO put in the banks
For which the dear public receives but Its
thanks.
A GLOBE reporter. who strolled into
Centenary church the other evening
while a prayer meeting was going on.
was witness to an incident little out
of the regular order. One young man,
with a fervidly religious spirit upon
him, was making a prayer. A part of
his supplicatlon was something ike
this:
Dear Lord, am a good young man.
] have been here - years. L owe no
man cent. never told lie. have
never cheated anyone. / have always
been a good young man. have never
done wrong. Since / came TO Mime
ap0lis. have never committed SIM
e There was much more all in the same
strain. and when the young man had
French had something to say. He SAID
ii, and it was not laudatory Of the good
young man. In fact. he said in sub
stance that he wanted to heal short
prayerS-the shorter and more concise
the better. but certainly not long. Fur
thermOre, he did not want to hear
any more such sef-laudatoIy petit
tons to the heavenly throne as the
good young man had just put up. In
fact, the good young man was roasted,
and everybody was glad of ii. but it is
doubtful it he were much more OF an
egOtist than those who laughed at his
discontinue. He merely said what he
Thought. while most of the others
thought it.
Pro Bono Publico Mannix is in sack
cloth and ashes. After twelve
years of experience as police report
err he is still such a Stranger in his
own town that letters must be adYer-
tised TO reach him.
The flags were presented. Frank F.
Davis made his usual oratGrical flight,
but c. ID. Meyer was the biggest man
OH the Stage-Or thought he was, which
is the same thing.

his best friends as a novel advertising
schemer. since BiXby has been devot-
ing his time to Lifts st. Paul affairs
L hto Hays has been given charge of the
advertising affairs by Mr.. Lift. He has
shown himself to be sensational adVer
tiser of no mean caliber. AS Iheo-
dOre is member of Company A,
when the Blue and the Gray was re-
gently announced to appear at the
h., N. 4;
by arranging a Soldierly parade with
brass cannon, blue coats, gray coats
and everything pertaining to the world
of warfare that might tend to awe and
attract the attention of theater-gOerS to-
ward the Bijou. This paid Mr.. Litl
well, and was but a sample of
what Theodore has heeu doing
and it is said that the impressario of
cheap price theaters in the Northwest
now values Mr.. Hays services among
the first of his employees. He is the
most popular of those at the Washing
ton Avenue thPater, and has many
friends i'm the city, where he was born
and has lived for nearly tWenty-three
years, and still people say the glorious
climate of MinneS0t is good for moth
ing but raising wheat and heavy mort
cages.
Washington's birthday has gone. and
no nurse Of George Washington has ap-
peared in Minneapolis. Verify the city

DIR. Burrell is missing the opportunity
OF his life by being away just at this
time when French ball nothing like

When Max 0'Rell was in Minneapolis
a few days ago he was a mark for the
ambitious young men who labor in the
field of evening journalism, and who
are DESTROYS of rIvaling BIakely Hall,
Joe Howard Jr. and all the other cee-
brated hustlers after news and
interviews, not forgetting j.. Hart
less Davis. The breaks which
young men made at the distinguished
Johnny Crepaud reminded him of two
experiences elsewhere. One of them
occurred in Chicago. A smooth-looking
citizen entered his room at the hotel,
Informed him that the representative of
a great Chicago daily stood before him,
produced ream of paper, pencil and
suave smile, and said: M. Blouet, l
want to interview you concerning con-
tagious diseases. The Frenchman
could not tell where the relation be-
existed; and. as he had not then made
the acquaintance of the Minneapolis
health boards recent movements, he was
forced to deny the young man the inter-
view. The other occurred in that home
of culture, Boston. The Hub pencil
pusher, after seeking out the lecturer,
announced: IN. BlOuet, | want to in
terview you, and as | am little deaf
here he produced two gutta percha
tubes. One of them he inserted in his
own ear and the other he forced between
Blouet's teeth. Then he leaned back as
If braclng for an encounter and re-
marked: Now 90 ahead" 1t is need
less TO say that Blouet did not 20 ahead.
The evening jay has produced a
sire fiend" editor, and if it will now
resurrect reporter who speaks of Il. e
"braye fireman with his cleaning axe"
dull, sickening thud." and few other
choice and well known expressions,
Its mission on earth will be finished.
There is nothing like originality.
The Peoples Political Reform club
has announced an open mass meeting
for March l. and both day and night TO-
lice patrols have received orders to be
ready for ddty. Reformers and their
ways are well known.
THE JAPANESE, TOO.
The Fame of First Street Has
Reached Them.
For many years the Japanese have
been known to be a race of people ever
ready to take up with American i'll ,as
