NOTE AND COMMENT.

NOTE AND COMMENT.
E. NJ. johnson has declared himself.
He says he has not pronounced for a
granite court house; that he has not,
in fact, made up his mind as to what
kind Of stone he prefers. 1t might be
said that Ed at all times prefers board
ION which he can secule place. to
stone; and it might also be SAID that Ed
will not make up his mind until he
knows what decision will make him
most popular.
The times do change, and the people
undergo something of metam0rphoSlS
at the same time. Time was when game
of billiards was looked upon as step
hellWards, but now Mrs. E. A. Russell
advises the establishment Of W. c. T.
U. billiard parlor. Unless this thing is
stopped the ministerial association may
be expected to advise the opening OF
faro bank under ecclesiastical snpervi-
sion.
A good story is told about last Satur-
davis yacht races at Minnetonka by an
old captain who is Familiarity known
about the Lafayette. 1t appears that
Cav0ur Langdon, the owner of the
yacht that won the race, knew that his
craft could stand no show whatever
against Theo Gaiety's boat-the Au-
rOra, which is conceded to be the swift
est craft on the lake-if the latter's
crew exhibited good judgment in max
ing out their course. AS the Aurora rep
resented the Spring Park contingent.
the other yachtmen were only too glad
to cOnnive to ''catch fish," and at the
same time land the medal and cham
pionship at the other end of the lake.
Messrs. Langdon, Phelps and several
others held meeting one afternoon and
discussed various schemes that could be
point. Mr.. Phelps knew that Gaiety
was not familiar enough with the
lake to undertake to start Off
first in the race, so he Volun-
teered to make arrangements to have
the aurora" follow his boat This
pleased the Spring Park boys, as they
knew that the crew on Mr.. Phelps
boat knew every inch of the lake, and
they naturally expected that they
would lose no ground. This, however,
was not the case, for Phelps boat
travelled several miles out of the course
and thus enabled Langdon's craft to
win the race. However, it is said. Mr..
GaietY has not yet tumbled that he is
the largest fish that has been caught at
the lake this year.
The public will have the satisfaction
of knowing, for the next ninety days,
that j. A. Moore is safe in the work
house. If now committee could be
formed to see that the ''doctor'' pays
an amending visit to some place outside
of Minneapolis, the public would be still
further satisfied.
Census Enumeration Aarons has been
captured, while Ed Stevens is out of
town and William Henry Eustis is busy
with campaign work. How is the poor
enumerator pursued by the cruelties of
relentless fate?
The Foresters are much delighted
that E. M. McMurty, of Chicago, SUI
preme permanent secretary of the high
court of the United States. is to be pres
ent at their celebration tomorrow even
ing in commemoration OF their indie
pendence of the English order. He is
gentleman of culture and refinement,
having held many positions of response
bility and trust; was for six successive
terms clerk of the Missouri house of
representatives, and finally resigned
to enter the Office of the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, where he was
given prominent position on the staff.
This he retained until 1879, when he
was elected as a delegate to the high
court convention in st. Louis and was
then made permanent secretary of the
Chem subsidiary high court, U. S.,
which position he retained until Au-
gust last, when the Foresters in
America declared their independence
from the English order, he then being
elected permanent secretary of high
position he now holds. AS a delegate
to the high court meeting of the order
held in Leicester. England. in August,
1856, he made many friends on the
other side of the Atlantic.
Butter is sure to be very high in Min
neapolS this fall. Potter will need
good deal of grease in his campaign
work, and of course he will patronize
his own creamery, hence the supply
will be scarce.
1t takes a circus press agent to fully
realize the benefits which may be Sc
cured from this interurban census
squabble. The councils license COM
mittee recommends that the license be
reduced, so that st. Paul may lose and
Minneapolis may gain one day OF the
greatest show on earth.
Aid. Parry doesn't see why there
should be any city hospital built at
once, when the money could as well be
spent on Bethany home. 1t may seem
strange to Aid. Parry, although it is
fact, that many people cannot under
stand why some fossils were ever reSur-
rected and given seats in the council.
Prof Eugene Thorp-Few men in
this nineteenth century have figured as
cOnspicuouSly in the Sanctifced scholar
ships of the church as his eminence
Cardinal Newman. His work, literary
and religious, adorn the libraries of the
most cultured and scholarly men of our
nation. He wrote with that dignified
air that bespeakS the research of great
intellectual grasp, and with that pleas
ing and chaSte modiSty that always
ELECTS for great mind the admiration
and love of mankind. Read his
sermons, peruse the pages of his choice
literature and tell me If any man in our
time could surpass, if equal, the purity
of those readings which fell from the
pen and mind of priest, student and
a scholar? No name to-day earthly is
more highly reverenced or venerated
with that profound respect by the Chris
tian literary-loving world than that of
Newman: and long after his name has
faded from the marble tablet will his
works still live to perpetuate as last
ing monument the great name of Eng
lands prince of literature"
