Town TOPICS.

With praiSewOrthy energy. the young
gentleman who mortonizes for the
Evening j. yesterday chronicled the ar
Journals readers that the suppositlon
was that. the captain of the Chicago
Base Ball club was in Minneapolis after
players. Arson did not arrive, how
ever, but he may be here to-day. Of
course Anson was after players, lie
wants Pitcher Martin Duke, and the
odds are that Duke will Play ball IN

The latest complaint from the SOL
diers' home is that there have been too
many post mOrtem examinations, and
some of the veterans seem to think that
the physicians like TO carve their re-
mains for the fun of the thing. DIR.
Ames explains that there have been
only two post mortems, and that they
were necessary. He also explains that
some of the veterans were rather in
clined to be peeviSh and QuarrelSome
because of old age and sickness.
B. A. Dunn, the correspondent of the
Kansas City Times, has withdrawn
from the business management of the
Minneapolis Times. Mr.. Dunn, by ap-
pearances at least, is better fitted for

The GLOBE last Sunday stated that
DR.. Burrell was liable to get another
calling down from certain church pill
lars because of his fearless attacks
upon the hypocrisy of the retrench-

"advised by some of his Pensioners
that he is not altogether well Informed
upon the doingS of the wicked city, and

serVative."
For some reason certain Republican
papers want to put DR.. AmeS back into
politics again after he has explained
that his health and business demand
that he shall hereafter keep aloof from
the excitement and turmoil incident to
elections.
It would seem that Librarian Putnam
is getting to regard his opinions with
more and more reverence. and is rather
inclined to be trite more dictatOrial
than is warranted by his position. Just
now he is disturbed because people
read novels, such as the works OF Miss
Holmes and Augusta Jane Evans,
Marian Harland, etc. He says they are
mot what may be called stimulating"
Possibly his next step will be to tell
people what he wants them to read, and
refuse to give them novels.
Secretary Sherin, of the National Ed
ucatlonal association, says something
which Is worth repeating, even if it is
trifie stale. "lt makes me tired" he
says, when minister will say. as DR..
French, of the Centenary church, Min

Sunday, when he quoted London as get

has got Sunday papers. think if
preachers would stop jumping on Sun
day papers and do as much hustlipg to
be interesting and fill their pews as the
Sunday papers do to fill their columns.
