NOTE AND COMMENT.

1t is a considerable undertaking
which J. G. Gluck and others have re-
solved upon, that of contesting the
right Of the park board to give fran
chise for an electric line Oh Hennepin
boulevard. There are thousands of
people, taxpayers in the city who are
opposed to this giving away of part OF
the city's valuable park system which
has cost thousands of dollars. that part
being the only first-class drive in the
city. There is good ground for believ
ing that the park board has wholly eX-
ceeded its authority in the action of
Tuesday. The gentlemen who purpose
contesting. the matter in the courts de-
serve the support of all public spirited
citizens.
The census department should dis
pense with the services of the spec
tacled, red-muStached, diminutive in
dividual who occupies the outer office OF
Supervisor KruSe'S rooms in the public
building. He is too much of humor-
list, and the public wants no funny bust
ness in connection with the recount.
When the chairman al the Democratic
banquet the other night was enumerat-
he never once mentioned the Times. 1t
is reported that he will be called upon
to apologize by the paper which adver-
tiSeS that it has the best political writer
In the Northwest.
W. B. Wheeler and Lac Stafford
have Just returned from Chicago, where
they saw that famous fOurteen-inning
game of ball. Wheeler tells this story
on Stafford:
1--WE were about starting for the ball
game and were going for glass of beer
and light lunch first Well, you know
the Odd Fellows have taken possession
of that town and their emblemS were
scattered all over. We were on Clark
street when Lac suddenly stopped. Here
Bill he said let's go in here for lunch.

The Minnetonka Yacht club is suffer-
Ing from a disease for which the adj
vice of Harlow Gale. after all his at
tempts to build market, should be eff
fcacious. They can't raise the wind.
William Henry Eustis will not attend
the kickers' convention at the city ball
this morning for most feeling reasons.
The young Minneapolitans who
wanted to become minstrels, and who
paid 50 each for a wig, apparently be-
long to that class of men who are easily
led. e., by a hair.
A newspaper paragraph is going the
rounds which states that joaquin Miller
writes the worst hand in the country.
George K. Shaw doesn's seem to be well
known outside of Minneapolis.
Jack Bennett is responsible for the
story that Clarence Saulspaugh has
bought the Minneapolis ball team and
will take the players down to his
Mankato hotel to act as "bell hops"
An enthusiastic markSman writes the
GLOBE to inquire if some of the partici-
pants in the Minneapolis Gun club tour
nament could shoot the rapids of the
Mississippi river.
1t is shrewdly suspected that Walter
C. +. Fullington. who claims to be only
attempting to secure his rights in the
courts, is after hush money.
"Out of the frying pan into the fire"
does not fit the case of Enumeration
Hegman. He was not in the frying
pan, but occupied a corner of a gem
rooster.
A trio of lawyers are warning over
small debts. Under the vulgar accept
ance of the meaning of lawyer" there
is now offered an opportunity of testing
the truth of that old adage, "When
rogues fall out, honest men get their
DUE"
There is a good deal of doubt as to the
efficiency of the fire alarm to be put
into the city hall elevator. 1t Will have
to be so constructed as to withstand
Vandewaker's oratory, which will
render it useless in case of fire.
