A BULLDOG ON A RAMPAeE.-Dr. Appleton, one
of the best known homeopathic doctors Of Grand
Rapids. Mich, lives in an elegant residence and
has as neighbor one W. W. Hart. who is de-
voted admirer Of dogs, and owned a prize bull
terrier and litter of pups The dog family at.
tracted the attention of the doctors little four
yesr.old son Sunday, and he started to play with
theul. Shortly after ne was heard to scream, and
wss seen on the ground while the bull terrier and
pups were attacking him from all sides. Mrs. W.
W Hsrt rushed to the rescue and she was knocked
down and attacked. The rcresms Of the two drew
crowd, who drove the dog off and rescued the
child and woman. The little fellow was fesrfully
bitten about the head, face, arms and chest great
chunks of osh being torn off in places, snd the
woman wss also severely bitten about the head
and breast and arms. The wounds of both were
cauterized and the entire family Of dogs killed.
The boy will probably die Of his wounds, and, il
he does not will bear the scars to his death. The
woman will recover, but her face will be fright
fully SCARED. No one kno ~s what made the dogs
attack the little one ss they hsd slwsys been fond
OF him and children generally.

HILL WAS STR aIGHT-

In one or more of his recent special
deliveries to the public Col. WAITER.
son has alluded to the old charge that
Gov. HILL acted in bad faith to the ma
tiOnal ticket in 1888. The Louisville
gentleman utterly discredits the impu-
tatiOn, as every Democrat should, what
ever his estimate of the New York gov
ernOr as a presidential possibility.
There are plausible objections to the
gentleman as the higher aspirant, bat
he should be credited with good faith
and entire loyalty to his party in that
election. The only basis for the charge
was the fact that HILL carried his state
far governor by about $4,000, while
CLEVELAND lost it by Is, coo votes. On
the surface that looks as there had been
deal, buL the situation fairly eX-
amined diSsiDates any such suspicion.
HILL has always had personal strength
not shared by Mr. CLEVELAND or other
Democrats. He was the candidate for
lieutenant governor when Mr.. CLEVE-
LAND had his enormous majority for
governor, and ran some thousands ahead
of his ticket. In 1888 the temperance
question came into the gubernatorial
contest to some extent. The Republican
candidate took ground that pleased the
prOhibItioniStS, and drove Off another
class of Republicans. HILL was the
favorite with the latter, and they
elected him. There is nothing in the
situation in that state, however, to indi-
cate that in a national contest HILL
would poll more votes than CLEvE-

ADECADE OF ST. PAUL.

The GLOBE is on the side of law and
order. but it is the foe of hypocrisy and
fanaticism. The men who from the
pulpit or the rostrum, or in newspaper
interviews and chance conversations OH
the street, castigate this city as law
less or disOrderly community are talk
ing at random and with wanton diSre-
gard of the truth. Here we have a place
which in ten years has grown from a
village of 10000 people to metropolis
with perhaps four limos that number.
Adventurous men and women from
every part of Christendom have poured
into our borders in the hope of lettering
their fortunes. Some of them have
brought money with them, and some
nothing but courage and industry.
Many left behind them honorable rec
Ords, but not a few deserted their old
homes for their old homes good. The
vast majority were below middle age,
a time of life when traditions
have the least influence on conduct.
They have lOOsened themselves from
their early mOOrings and the restraints
which kindred and associations throw
about one. For several years of the
past decade there were not tenementS
enough in this city TO accommodate the
swarm of newcomers, and families
were crowded together in blocks where
their individuality was lost in the
midst OF strangers who came to-day and
were gone tomorrow. No mining camp
ever seethed with such vigorous life and
activity in answer to a newly discovered
vein of richness as did our streets dur
ing this period. The highest rewards
have hung within the easy reach Of the
speculative, and the lives of every other
man whom one met showed that wealth
awaited the bold and the daring. The
temptations were not towards cOncen-
trated and regular labor. but schemes
and plunges filled the brains of the eau
tiOus, as well as Of the reckless. There
was a mad scramble for gold by vast
thr0ng of people. many of whom knew
now for the first time the joys of accu-
mutation and all of whom were eager to
taste them to the full. The simple pleas
ureS of their previous plodding lives
were lost sight of. They had no time for
books and social distractions. The au-
tomato and conventional attendance
on church services, which they would
have maintained had they remained in
their old homes, was suspended here
because their minds were working in
other directions. As one looks back
twenty-fOur or thirty-siX months. st.
Paul was as raging as a blast furnace.
New and unknown faces greeted one
daily in the narts of trade. Gigantic
enterprises were brewing and achieY-
ing. Everywhere was hustle. cOnfu-
sion, uproar. The town was trans
formed into a substantial. handsome
city OF hundred and fifty thousand
peOple-peOple having nothing in COM
mon except their yearning for material
advancement and their success in the
struggle. They did not know each
other nor of each other. They were
without anchor on a foreign sea, max
ing with every sail set for the haven of
gain

SUNDAY REFORMS.

The New York gentleman who is en-
gineering the movement for the en-
fOrcement of Sunday laws, in his adj
dresses, is inclined to disparage New
England on his line. If there is basis
for this, the change must have come in
recent years. Adults who spent their
youth in that part of the country have
recollectiOns of rigidity of public and
private demeanOr on Sunday that they
have not found elsewhere. 1t is OBJ
served that in two of the principal cities
of New England quite recently there
have been controversies over phases of
the subject with results that must af-
ford the gentleman high qualification.
III Portland the city council provided
for a Sunday evening concert in the
open air by a band. This at once
conyulsed the pulpits and stirred up
a tumult-such, perhaps, as has
been witnessed IN a locality not far
away of late. InvectiYe flowed from
sacred desks and vigilance committees
were put on duty. 1t is not related that
the militia was called out, but the ''con-

aesthetic ear on Sunday evening. 1t may
be noted here that, as much as has been
alleged of municipal l2Xity in st. Paul
in Sunday CONSTANTS, the only musical
exhibitions tolerated in the outer courts
on Sunday have been directed by the
Salvation Army and the Y. NJ. c. A. In
Boston, also. it is stated that almost en-
tire success has attended the efforts to
close the avenues to bibulous indulgence
on Sunday. The rear, side and all other
doors to saloons have been rendered I'M
available. Tie statutes there are not
more contributOry to this attainment
than in this 5 ate.

A HEAT EVENT.
A Pretty Struggle for Supremacy,
With Doc Wick Ahead.

A Pretty Struggle for Supremacy,
With Doc Wick Ahead.
The last race was heat event of
five furlongs, and these are usually
disliked by the talent. However, the
betting was strong, with Jim Dunn the
choice and Kindig second in favor. The
others were considered out of it, al
though now and then the odds tempted
speculation. Dock Wick was first to
get away, followed by Laura Agness
second and Innocence third. At the
first furlong Secret made squirt
and undertook to lead the field
with old Jim Dunn second
and Kindig third under a strong
pull. At the quarter Innocence
showed her nose, with Jim Dunn still
second, and Kindig galloping i'll third
place to the disgust of his hackers. Into
the stretch Innocence was still in the
van, but Porter made jim Dunn stretch
himself for1a short distance, and he
swept past Happiness, who led Kindig
by a length. The latter was not urged to
his best execution, however, and it cost
Mccarthy an even hundred. Jim Dunn
cantered under the wire length ahead
of Happiness. who was neck in front
of Kindig. Laura Agnes and M'liSS
were diStanced.
In the next heat Kindig took the lead
at the drop of the flag, chased by Leader
III. and Emmett, and at the first furlOng
Emmett moved, up close to Kindig'S
heels. At the quarter Dunn pushed up
to third place, and in that order they
dashed into the stretch. Dunn came
without whip, and could have won
handily had not Freeman given Doc
Wick both whip and spur. The son of
Kantaka swept past Emmett, Kindig
and Dunn. The latter had pushed to
the front with winning lead, and Por-
ter was evidently annoyed when he saw
himself outridden. Doc Wick was
length in advance of Dunn, who Leu
Kin0ig by two lengths.
Tie run off was pretty struggle the
entire distance. Both horses Datt!ed
with a will, neck and neck, to within 100
yards of the goal, wien Dunn quit.
