PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS.
South Minneapolis People Say 1t
Must Be stopped.

Must Be Stopped.
A stranger to Minneapolis, on reading
the Minneapolis papers of few days
past, would have imagined that the
Flour City had become part OF despotic
Russia, where the Jewish race is sub
iect to the most atrOcious prosecutions.
There were paragraphs in the papers
announcing that a meeting would be
held at DANA hall to protest against the
persecution of the Jews. Then the
Presbyterian ministers took up the
subject and appointed a committee to
attend the meeting. Well, the meeting
was held last night in DANA hall and
at last the character Of these persecu-
lions was revealed. The street vendors
arc the victims in whose behalf the
meeting was held. 1t seems that the
great American kid" as he exists in
Minneapolis, delights in annoying them.
He persists in following them about
the streets and hurting the word
''sheeney" at them and like opprobri-
Gus epithets, as rotten apples, decayed
potatoes, venerable cabbages, and,
sometimes, small geological specimens.
The sons of Israel object to such
treatment, and the meeting last
night was to take some action
toward putting a stop to it. Although
several speeches were made, Rev. V. p.
WeIch made the address of the evening.
He SAID good deal about rights of man,
Christianity, nineteenth century en-
lightment, etc, and was vigorously ap-
plaudend. The meeting lasted but a
short time and eliminated in the adop-
ton of some resolutions and the APP
pointment of a committee. The resolu-
tons embodied a strong protest against
the persecution of peddlers of the
Hebrew persuasion. The committee,
consisting of five persons. will call up
on the chief of police and the board of
education and do all in its power to have
the petty annoyances stopped. School
boys seem to be the greatest sinners.

barn very near his shanty. The neigh
Dors hurried to his house to help him
save what he might value among his
apparently svalueless possessions. He
barred the door, however, and, brandish-
ing his old cavalry sword behind the
window, shouted that he would burn
with his house before he would allow
any one to rob him.
When he fell ill he allowed the old
woman who had brought him his food
for nine years to enter to care for him
on the condition that she would not
charge him extra. He had no doctor,
10 medicine. He ordered that his
funeral be made to cost as little as S.,
hungered and prayed, and died with
the lie OH his lips that the S35 he had
just given the old woman was all he
had in the world. In his big chest, hid
den under the floor beneath the straw
on which he died, were found $4,000
worth of coupons, 1000 shares of Bel
gian railway stock at 500 share. and
some $4,000 in gold, silver and notes.
A last will and testament, which the
old man had apparently forgotten, was
also found in the chest. 1t bequeathed
to his mother in Zierke, Germany,
$1,000, and the rest to the village.

How Roland Reed Helped Put
% Out Fire Only Half-Shaved.
Boston Globe.
Roland Reed. with all his seeming
self-possession on the stage, is really
exceedingly absent-minded. But for
the care of his dresser he would go on
the stage in his stocking feet Or with
out his wig.
One of the most striking instances of
his Observation-Disclosures was shown about
month ago in New York. He was be-
ing shaved in the Union Square 'halr-
sultan palace" and the artist engaged
in the heavy job OF denuding his wide
eXpanse of cheeks of irrelevant hair
had but half-fnished his task when the
rush of fire engines through the square
was heard.
Hatless, with one side of his face still
covered with lather. Roland ran out
among the crowd, and, with the BARRIERS
napkin still wrapped about his neck, he
mingled with the crowd, and acted as
if the sole duty of putting out the small
blaze on Sixteenth street had been dele
gated to him by the city of New York.
The fire was more quickly put out
than Mr.. Reed can be; and it is posi-
tive fact that, with his face still encased
in soap, he went to the Morton house
bar, and looked for friend to take a
drink with him, before he appreciated
the grins and laughter of all who gaZed
into his placid countenance.

The Lumber Renorts.

The Lumberman says if the moist
weather of Wednesday extended as far
north as the woods it affected the haul
ing unfavorably, but previous reports
from nearly all parts of the upper Mis-
siSsippi indicate that affairs were shap-'
ing themselves satisfactorily. Some
snow has fallen. On the Upper Prairie
there has been light snowfall and
loggers are at work on short hauls. At
Grand Rapids there is two inches of
snow. On the Pine, Nelson. Tenney Il
Co.'s camps have all made some progress
at hauling during the last month, one
camp having hauled 100000 feet.
There is reported to be an inch of snow
OH the west branch of the Rum. Skid-
ding is going on elsewhere as usual.
Lumbermen have no apprehension, as
most of them will come out with as
large an inpuJ as contemplated if there
is snow by the 18th of January.

FOUND IN A CRANES CRAw.
Wonderful Plant That Is PuZzling
the Scientists OF PENNSYLVANIA.

Wonderful Plant That Is Puzzling
the Scientists OF Pennsylvania.
PIttsburg Chronicle.
A truly wonderful plant is at the AL
legheny conservatory. No one knows
to what class it belongs or anything
about it. 1t is the subject of much spec
ulation among botanists, and they
anxiously await the development of
bud that is forming. Then, they say,
they can place the plant. The bOtanists
have suspicion that the plant is a
tropical one. and Supt. Hamilton is
treating it on that superstition.
The history of the plant so far as
known is unique one. During the
summer one of party of gunners
brought down crane. 1t was beau
tiful specimen, and the taxidermist of
the party set to work to mount it. In
the birds craw were found several seeds.
With view to learning if the seed was
killed by the bird eating it they were
placed in water. In few days the
seeds sprouted. They were planted in
loan and kept in warm room. Ed
ward V. McCandless took charge Of IT.
The plant was an object of interest to
Mr.. McCandless and his botanist friends,
and it's development was closely
watched. Last week it was transferred
to the conservatory. The leaves are
long and broad and heavy, not unlike a
species of palm.

BAEHR's AFFIDAVIT.
DR.. Kilvington States Plainly That
1t is Untrue.


The health office, like the judiciary,
has fallen into the mire of politics, and
some of the methods taken to advance
the cause of certain candidates smack
of the nature of the ways of the ward
heeler, which should be discouraged
when an office which concerns most
vitality the good health of the city is
concerned. The present health
officer, Dr. S. S. Kilvington, it
certainly appears, has been willing
to stand upon his record for reelection
and made no partisan appeals to either
party. William Baehr, who was can
didate for alderman in the Fourth ward,
and who was defeated, seems consider
ably incensed because the people of the
ward did not choose to elect him, and
judging from an affidavit which two
papers have seen fit to publish, and
which others have refused to print, lays
the cause of his defeat at the door OF
DR.. Kilvingtom. The affidavit does not
accuse the doctor of the high crime of
treason to the state, but of prom
Using to support him (Baehr) il
Baehr would in turn sign a written
agreement to support him (Kilvlngton)
for health officer. Baehr says he indig
Gus contract, which seems to be com
mon enough practice in ward politics
nowadays, and evidently publishes the
affidavit for the purpose OF injuring Kill
yingtOns chances for reelection.
The doctor, it seems, who rather
prides himself upon keeping out of the
political squaDble as much as possible.
except to defend himself, land on attend
ing TO his business as a city official, is
decidedly indignant about the publica-
ton of the affidavit, which he denounceS
as fabrication, and says there was a
witness to Baehr'S conversation, and
that he proposes to prosecute the aft
davit-maker for perjury. Concerning
the matter he says:
Il had not spoken word to Baehr for
over two years until the Sunday before
election, when he came into my Office
and said l was working against him. l

G. NJ. FOote stated, Baehr would not
support me. and SO informed a friend
of mine, to whom he had appealed for
assistance in Democratic county com
mittee matters. This friend told me
that Baehr was pledged not to
support me in the event of cleo
ton. | demanded of him that he
put his denial of this statement
in writing, but he tailed to do so, plead
ing a want of time, as he was compelled
to attend meeting of the committee.

evening, which, of course, he did not
do. | was opposed TO the man on prin-
ciple, and would be so again on like cir
cumStances. | never asked his support,
nor did make any such promise, either
before or after election"
The most recent turn anent the fight
over the health Office is that Dr.. A A.
Ames is an open and avowed candidate
for the position.

A. A Mccain Dead.

A. A. Mccain, who was at one time
court officer of the municipal court, and
who has recently for few weeks been
officiating as the business manager of
the Minneapolis Post, new weekly pa
per, died "Wednesday night from the eft
fects of injuries received in falling
down the stairs of the Posts office SUN
day morning, Dec. %. His skull was
fractured. and inflammation ensUed.
The idea was advanced by the editor OF
the Post that Mccain was foully dealt
with by enemies he had caused by his
peculiar methods of advancing the pa
per's interests, but there is little founda-
ton, if any. for this theory. He had
been fixing one of the presses and
started to walk down stairs when he
fell headlong. The funeral occurs at
st. Stephens Catholic church to-mor-
row morning.

ROBBED BY AN EMPLOYE.
Nj. j. Galpin Embarrassed Because
$1,000 Are Gone,

M. J. Galpin, the well-known East
side contractor and builder, whose
place of business is SO University
avenue. has failed in business. Mr..
Galpin has always been supposed to be
one of the soundest of men financially.
But recently he decided that there was
no use in trying to keep up. His failure
is due entirely to the rascality Of
trusted emplOye, and under the circum-
stances no blame can attact to him.
This employe has fed from the city,
leaving behind him a record as an en-
bezzler and wouldbe incendiary. He
WINS employed as bookkeeper for Mr..
Cabin. The amount which he is said
to have hypothecated is $1,000 10 the
loss of that money MIR. Galpin attributes
his financial troubles. The alleged en-
beZZlement took place several months
ago.
The matter was brought before the
grand jury at the time, and the story
there told was as follows: Mr.. Galpin's
son was returning late one night from a
party. Passing the shop at &c Univer-
sity avenue, he discovered fire within
and succeeded after short struggle in
extnguisbing it. The indications were
that the fire was incendiary. Shortly
thereafter Mr.. Galpin discovered his
losses, and suspicion at once fell upon
the bookkeeper through slight circum
stance. On the floor of the room near
where the fire must have been lighted
lay theater seat check for that night,
as though it had been Tipped from the
vest pocket with match. The check
was taken to the theater and the box of
flee man swore that he had sold it the
day before to the Dookkeeper.
Such was the evidence laid before the
September term grand jury at their first
session. The grand jury and the county
attorney advised that little detective
work be done, as the boOkkeeper had
not made any signs of leaving, and the
matter was left open for this lnvestiga-
ton. The next day the suspected man
left town very suddenly, going. it was
supposed, to some point in the Dakotas.
Although every effort has been made to
find him, he has not been discovered,
and no bill was found by the grand jury.
twenty-Six years of age, and was a
trusted employee. sustaining a very good
reputation in the neighborhoOd where
he lived.
Mr.. Galpln's liabilities are placed at
about $4,000. His assets are, nominally,
1000, although that amount may not
be realized on them. He hopes to be
able to arrange with his creditors, and
continue in business without interven-
ton of legal processes. His attorney
has offered to make settlement with
all the creditors, but some of them OBJ
ject to it. Mr.. Galpin is also member
of the grocery firm of Taylor & Galpin,

He Starved Himself to the Last and
Left a ChestfuI OF Riches.
New York Sun.
A typical miser died two weeks ago
in Baden, near Vienna. His name was
William Weberex. He appeared in
Baden nine years ago, and rented the
cheapest vacant house in town. 1t had
but one story, ana only three rooms.
The first evening after his arrival he
went to the city park and picked up the
acquaintance of Theresa LaSch, a
seventy-year-old widow, engaged her to
keep house with him, and was never
known to speak with any one in the
streets of Baden afterWard. For nine
years he allowed none save her to enter
the house. She bought him the barest
necessaries of life daily, and left them
on his threshold.
He ate food that beggar would re-
iect, slept on loose straw, and paid his
one acquaintance just one cent a day
for her services He never had his
house cleaned or windows washed.
never changed the straw of his bed, and
never had new garment while in
