In England and other parts OF
Europe horseshoes are now in use
made of cowhide instead of iron.
The shoe is composed of three thick
ness of the hide, which is pressed
into steel mold and afterward
treated by chemical preparation.
The shoe is quite smooth on the
outside surface, no corks being
needed, as the shoe adheres firmly
on polished pavements. 1t is claimed
this shoe is much lighter than the
iron one, lasts longer, and that the
hoofs of horses wearing them never
split.

MISTAKES, slips, errors, blunders-
they will creep in, and it only makes
matters worse to pretend that you
are different from other people and
never get your foot into the wrong
boot. But don't be ashamed OF 1t,
and don't be afraid of it: go right
ahead and do the best you can. A
locomotive engine without any fire
will never go off the track; but that
isn't the kind of an engine you want
to be. If you go at all you are
liable sometimes to 60 wrong, but
be always ready to come back again
when YOU know it. But there is one
class Of mistakes that it is worth
while to be afraid of and ashamed
of-the mistakes of selfshness, and
meanness, and cowardice, and OF
these the BANNER will try to steer
clear.

THEY MUST WORK.
Inmates Of the Workhouse Have
Plenty to DO.

Work in the stone quarry at the work
house was suspended Saturday, and for
while, at least, the inmates will find
plenty to do on the farm and in repair
ing the roads in the vicinity of Single
creek. During the winter about 1900
loads of stone to he used in macadamiz-
ing was prepared, and this will be
hauled away this summer. During the
warm weather the grounds around the
new North side pumping station will be
turned into park, and it is expected
that the work of the inmates of the
workhouse will be turned in this diree-
ton. Work on the new addition to the
within few weeks. and this will keep
gu tie gang at work. When the new
addition is completed it will be used ex-
clusively for the female inmates, and
will allow the present wing occupied by
the women to be used for the accommO-
dation of male prisoiers. This will add
tWenty-seven cells to the mems depart
ment, and Supt. West says this will give
him all the room necessary. At present
there are 80 men and IA women
in the institution, 145 being re-
ceived and 1872 discharged during the
month OF March. The wOrkhouse pop;
ulatiOn always decreases in the summer,
and the workhouse committee of the
council is looking about for a place
which will make those inmates who, at

tory, ends with brilliant climax. The
first act shows grand ball In progress
at the Tuill. Josephine is there in
All her queenly radiance and beauty.
The second tells us of the death of Ma
poleOn's adopted heir, the Prince OF Hol-
land. In this ,act Nine. Rhea and Mr..
Harris, as Napoleon, were particularly
effective. The third, which is one Of
the strongest in the play, presents Ma
poleon and Talleyrand in their discus
sion over the advisability of the Little
CorporaPS marriage to Marie Louise.
Talleyrand is finally dispatched to the
court of Vienna to demand
Marie's hand, and the curtain
falls as Napoleon bids touching
farewell forever to the broken-hearted
Josephine. The fourth contains very
thrilling climax. namely. the announce
ment of the birth of child to Napoleon
and Louise by the booming of cannon.
The next scene takes place after the
exile of Napoleon to Elba, and the last
shows the broken-hearted Josephine in
all the depth of her loneliness, agony
and despair, and her final death.

SHE KEPT A TAB,
And Marked Down a Whole Lot Of
Naughty Things.


There is probably one woman in Min
neapOlis who wishes she had never
heard of such a thing as shorthand
writing. But she had heard of it, and
what is more she could make straight
aid curved lines that to the uninitiated
meant nothing, but when translated by
stenographer had very significant
meaning. The diary which, it is said,
was kept by Mrs. P. P. Roller, one OF
the ladies who was captured by
the police when the raid was made upon
Lena Lepla's hOuse.haS been made pub
lie through the medium of the divorce
court. Mrs. Roller commenced a suit
against her husband for divorce. alleg-
ing adultery. Now Mr.. Roller has be-
gun counter suit and puts his wife'S
diary in as evidence. The most inter-
esting passages are for the month OF
January, 1885. The writer of the
notes frequently gives express
sion to the love she had for
certain we'll known young mar
ried man of Minneapolis. The woman's
husband was on the road travelling most
of the time, and Mrs. Roller had plenty
of time to choose her company, attend
the opera, etc. The Rollers were then
liNlnS db fSf ElTSG dNGuuc uoI I'll. Ouo
early in 1858 moved to the Linden, at
Seventh street and First avenue north.
The man who seemed to be occupy
ing Mrs. Rollers mind. according
to this diary, was himself married
man. and his pretty young wife seemed
to know OF his attention to other women.
She bore her troubles quietly, however,
but her treatment of some of her hus-
bands admirers was sufficient to show
her feelings in the matter. Mrs. Roller
alludes to the ''contemptuous look and
unkind words" of the young wife. Mrs.
Roller tells in her diary of frequently
meeting this gentleman friend and OF
going to the theater with him. She
speaks Of the intense and dangerous
love she has for this man, whom she
generally calls Frank" Something
which the diary does not reveal finally
creates slight breach between the two
heretofore almost inseparable lovers,
and little later Mrs. Roller speaks
pleasantly of another gentleman. The
names of several gentlemen well known
in Minneapolis business and social
circles are also said to figure quite fire.

PAULSEN is GONE.
The Ex-Champion skates Away to
Where No Man KnOweth.


Where No Man KnOweth. 9.
Axel Paulsen has skated away from
Minneapolis into that mysterious region
known as "parts unknown"-at least
that is the impression prevailing among
those who knew him best. His depart
ure is attributed to an action for divorce
which his wife has begun against him
on the ground OF adultery. Mrs. Paulsen
became suspicious OF her champion last
fall, which suspicion led her to
place a watch upon him. She
conclusive proof of his unfaithfulneSs,
and sued for legal separation. Accord
ingly, as Paulsen's fame began to ebb
he grew more reckless and dissipated.
. When incontrovertible evidence of his
criminal proceedings with other women
came to Mrs. PaulSen'S ears last month,
she began divorce prOceedings,a and Axel
concluded he could do better in a cooler
climate. He sped away from the city,
it is said, last Sunday, and no one now
knows where he may be, although he is
supposed to be resting at Astoria, Or.
With him, it is said, went P. Jurgens, a
st. Paul photographer, who was wont
to be his companion in revelry, and who
was depended upon largely 10 prove
Mrs. Paulsen's allegations in favor of
divorce next Saturday, when her appli-
cation for legal separation will be
given hearing. 1t Is also alleged that
Molstad. AxePs partner in the cigar
business, has suffered from the ex-ice
kings carvings on. Molstad claims to
have put S1.400 into the business as
against Paulsen's fame, and says that
he lost not only the S1,400, but a good
deal more.
Mrs. Paulsen's maiden name was
Catherine Williams, and she and the
spurner of the icy track were made one
some seven years ago amidst the wild
scenery of Wales. where her parents
still live. They are said to be well-to-
do in this worlds goods. and Mrs. Paul
sen will, no doubt, return to them with

with an artistic finish that is the result
of much practice and careful training.
There are several accomplished COM
edians in the party, and the character
lstic college medleys were given sew
eral encores. The choir drill with
song accompaniment, at the end of the
first part, was laughable and much en-
joyed by the audience. The young gen.
tlemen gave performance that would
do credit to a professional company,
and was all the more interesting from
it's college associations.

it would pay in the end.

RHEA AS JOSEPHINE.
The Great French Actress in Her
New Historical PLAY,

The harris theater in Minneapolis
was filled by one of the largest and most
fashionable audiences the house has
held this season when the curtain rose
on the first act of Rhea's new play,
Josephine, Empress of the French, !"
last evening. Nearly every seat in the
boxes and loges was taken, and the
grand French actress and her excellent
company received most enthusiastic
reception. Nmerous flowers were passed
over the footlights. and curtain calls
were the order of the evening.
In Josephine. Empress of the
French" A. r. Haven, the author, has
painted the womanly side of the char
acter of Napoleon's loving spouse; he
has shown her in ali the sublimity of
her noble character as devoted wife.
BOnaparte he draws perfectly, if the
French historical writers are to be be-
lieved. He is presented as the cool,
calculating warrior. and as the selfish,
ambitious man of affairs.
Josephine is in six acts, and each
one, with the exception or the first,
