TOPICS OF THE STREET.

Two of the officials of the campaign of 1890
had an interesting conversation yesterday.
One represented the state Democratic and
the other the state Republican com
mittee.
Republican, would like to ask you
question. The campaign is all over now and
would just like to know whether your COM
mittee was supplied with information of
what our committee was doing.
Oemocrat-Well, why do you ask?
Republican, has been animated that
some one carried to you onr doings.
Demoerat-Do you mean your Doodle oper
atoms?
Republication, Doodle be id. mean
our plans and proceedings. Did you have
regular means of communication or infor-
nation?
Democrat-Well, you don't suppose would
tell you, if it were so, do you?
Republican, don't see why. The cam
paign is all over and it could do no harm.
No revelations were made.
As fishing resort, White Bear lake is rap
idly playing out. Year after year il has been
fshed in every locality, until now it is an i'm
possibility to secure respectable string of
fish. Occasionally some single fish of good
size will be taken, but such catches are so
few and far between that when they occur
they are nine days wonder 1t is time for
restrictive measures. The lake should be
stocked and law passed prohibiting fishing
of all kinds for about three years, otherwise
the lake will lose one of its chief attractions.
Capt. A. II. Reed Of Glencoe, was in st.
Paul yesterday. He feels lively interest in
tue outcome of the state prison investigation
| That Is IN process, and which viii be renewed
| the first of the month. While he isn't saying

the fullest sympathy with the present ad-
minis tration at the state penitentary.
| Senator j. A. Tawney, of Winona, was in
the city yesterday for the purpose of perfect
| Ing an appeal from the decision of the state
supreme court in the matter of the case of

| Land company. The supreme court held

Andrew Delaney, formerly actively con-
| nected with the late Commodore Davidsons
| enterprise has surely had sad and unprofi-
table venture in the thespian world. He saw
| visions of wealth and q surfeit of glory
| scarcely other than an optimistic NEGRO
mancer could have pictured. His world was
| of the most roseate hue when he found an
| opportunity to become the financial sponsor
for the Park Opera company. But fate was
positively unkind to him. He has invested
his savings-aIl. and credits, too-and is now
ruthlessly awakened from his blissful dream
of splendors to find that this world is all a
fleeing show for mans illusion given'
Meanwhile Eugene Kaueffer has gathered
the company and has arranged to open an
other season at the Park. Kaueffer explains
that the reason for Huntington's dismissal

! assigned herself the part of Vladimir the
role given Alice Verona, and because she de-
INJURED her salary was cut off, Huntington
refused to go on until his wife had received
her SIS.
