TOWN TOPICS.

Before leaving Chicago for New York.
few days ago, DR.. Burrell wrote q letter to his
old congregation in Minneapolis in which he
said he was very much downcast. and that he
regretted very much that he had to leave
them. AS neither the members of Westmin-
ster church, or any one else, has seen fit to
Say That Minneapolis was sorry to lose the
doctor, the presumption is that he was the
only one who was sorry at the change. The
bank clearings last week were just as large as
When he was here, and the electric lines are
BENG operated just as well. 1t begins 10 look
as If Minneapolis can struggle along without
him.
A few days ago the pupils of the Minneap-
oils academy held their graduating exercises,
and among the many essays read was ore by
Daniel o. Loe. The exercises were held at
the First Congregational church. and the
subject of this young mans essay was 1.-THE
Strong and Weak Points of the Republic
After cutting up his subject, as a butcher
would saus age, This Young advocate of Sun
day closing figured out that the dangers TO
the republic were three in all. viz. intemper-
ance, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the Roman Catho-
lie church, and the indiscreet granting of the
franchise TO foreignera. Before this young
man wrote his essay he no doubt attended a
Joint meeting of the local ministers and got
his idea there. This young man should go
INTO some monastery. He is too good TO live
In this wicked city.
1t was when the plasterers. the cornice
makers and the stonecutters got through
striking that all would be well in local labor
circles, but the worst OF all Is to come yer.
The bakers threaten to go out next Saturday
and not return Monday morning as before.
unless an increase in wages is granted, and
fewer hours work. This means great deal.
1t means that the staff of life is 10 be cut off
entirely. except for those whose wives can
bake bread. These women are very few
though, and Minneapolis may expect some
Ilch ana racy divorce suits as result of no
bread IN the house and no knowledge of how
1t is made. AS for the poor bachelor, who
makes up his own toilet as well as his couch,
he Will have to bake his own bread, which in
all probability he can masticate as well as a
piece of hardwood. If the bakers strike, as
they threaten. piece of good bread and but
ter will bring almost as high figure next
week as the gold brick did in its time.

The man who is always talking, whether
politics or religion, is just as tiresome to
those he meets as the man who has got
tongue and never uses it except to swallow
with and clean his teeth. But the man who
can strike happy medium between these is
the right kind of a man. OF this class De
tectlve James Howard is one. He never
passes friend or an acquaintance without
noticing him. and never bores a man to
DEATH as some people do He is very re-
served about what he has in view, and when
ever he makes a good pinch" he is 10th TO
give all particulars to the reporter, lest he
may be set down by the public as seeking
notoriety. He is a very faithful man, and is
as scrupulous about telling Il lie as is the
most representative citizen in Minneapolis.
He hates man who cannot tell the truth.
and will go through fire and water for a
friend. He has won honors in his present
field of labor and is deserving of far more.
He is an untiring worker and will not go to
bed II he thinks there is any possibility of
accomplishing anything.
