fused the priucely offer, and applied to
the court for justice and liberal adj
vance on the niggardly offering. He
expected that the award would be at
least couple of thousand, but, alas for
the rarity of Christian charity, espe-
cially in the average jury of this age
and clime-he got 500.
This inclined road may be a good
thing in the long run, but the people
who have been treated like the indi-
vidual above are slow to admit it. Be-
sides, it mars the beauty of this section
of the city where it is located, being a
veritable eyeSore. 1t is the Intention OF
the company not only to furnish accom-
mediation for passengers but to draw
burdens too heavy for horses. Ii an ac-
cident ever happens on this incline the
results will be something appalling.
There is pretty good representation
of st. PauliteS in Duluth, and one
encounters them at everywhere and
turn. John BreSette, the erstwhile cap
tain of police, is lingering in these parts
and is looking brOnZed and rugged. L
met him on Superior street the other
day. and. questioning him as to his
mission, he said he was merely visiting
some friends. l have an idea that John
is DESTROYS of getting fat berth on the
Duluth police force; at any rate, he IS
enthusiastic over the prospects of the
city by the lake, and would no doubt
make Duluth his home if he could find
a good opening.
H. &. Wood, formerly assistant United
States district attorney with Baxter, is
now resident of Duluth, and says he
would not return to st. Paul for love or
money. He has established quite lucra-
tive practice, and, if everything goes
well, will in time become a bloated
bondholder There are quite raft of
attorneys here, considering the size of
the town, but there are very few good
ones. and as there is always room at the
top, would advise some of the younger
members Of the ST. Paul bar to get
enough money together to buy ticket
to Duluth. l am confident their talent
would take care Of the rest.
Johnny Langton. who did duty for
so many years behind the Clarendon
hotel desk, and whose face is as famil-
lar TO tourists as that of old Sol himself,
is officiating as chief clerk at the Spal-
ding. He Is the same genial, whole
sOuled fellow as of wore, and the smile
that adOrnS his fair brow is veritable
panacea for all those distressing mala-
dies that are said to reside in the liver.
In his business he has few. if any,
equals in the country, and it is a per-
feet study to watch him dispose of the
numerous travelling Interrogation
points that tackle him while on duty.
He is as good-natured as the day is long,
and it is no wonder that he is such
universal faVOrlte,
Rumor has it that John is cOntem-
plating matrimony, and the sOjOurn of
a pretty St. Paul belle at one of the
suburban resorts, on whom John has
been wont to smile sweetly III other
days, lends credenee TO the soft i'm
parchment. He denies it, of course, but,
in the words of "Old HoSs." Pm on to
you, Harry"
Dudley freeman, we'll known social
favorite OF the SANITY City, has cast his
fortune with the new Chicago (Which is
pet name for Duluth). He is in the
employ of the Duluth Dry Goods COM
pany, occupying a position of honor and
responsibility. He says his house is
gradually weaving the trade away from
the big st. Paul houses, and that i'll
few years it will top any jobbing house
in the Northwest.
Base ball in Duluth is floundering be-
tween the devil and the deep sea, with
the chances in favor of the deep sea.
''Watty' claims it cost him $4,000 to
test the qualities of Duluth as being a
bang-up ball town, and he is now en-
deavoring to get the good citizens to
come forward and disgorge. 1t is Help
me. Cassius, or | sink" with Watty. 1t
looks to me as if the national game were
a dead duck in the Western association.
