any corporation to coerce or compel any

written agreement not to become a
member or remain one OF any labor or

remaining in the employment of such
corporation. The penalty for violation

PROBABLY A BLACK SHEEP,
But the Man Lorraine Is Not as
Black as Painted.


Aspecial dispatch to morning paper
yesterday stated that Thomas III. Lith-
gowlate, alias Thomas H. Lithgow,
alias Walter Lorraine, is a native of
Boston, whose father, "a typical Yam
kee," amassed fortune in shipping
and married Spanish girl, who is the
mother of the man who has cut figure
in st. Paul. Lorraine's real name is,
according to the dispatch, Thomas
L. Safe. 1t is stated further that he
ran through a fortune left him by his
father and married a Boston girl, by
whom he has three children. This wife
is said to be suing for divorce at
the present time. 1t is stated
schemes have made him famous both
in Boston and New York, which has
been his chief camping ground" and
that the instances related '.do not give
the hundred petty instances of his
crooked business transactions" While
there is little defense that can be made
for Lorraine, it can be safely stated
that the dispatch in the main is untrue.
No doubt he is the black sheep Of an
excellent family, but the dispatch is
largely untrue in its statements. His
name is not Thomas l.. Safe, but is
Thomas II. Lithgow. Clerk Halten, of
Judge Nelson's United States court,
is an old acquaintance of the LithgoW
family and friend of the brother of
the man who gives the name of Lor-
raine iii this city. The story about the
man of many aliases, as told in the
GLOBE the day after his arrest, is sub
stantially correct.

Over Balance.

commenced with G. and the other two
Jurors indeXed in the ID list. IT a
Thrown stu dy'' means a decision after
only short time to consider, then such
was the characteristic of the cogltation

ton between plaintiff B. and de-
PENDANT b., and returned verdict
of the Is. G. & DIS in few minutes,
which was recorded in favor of Bloom
ouist in the sum of S1S5.90. The jury
laughed over the discovery that there
were so many Browns answering to so
short a roll call.

charge one of the jurors left the box
and went to the ice cooler to get drink
