TOWN TOPICS.

The pleasantest man of the whole
police force to meet is Capt. BueffernIrig.
Through all the ups and downs of police
life he has kept afioat, and did his duty
Almost fifteen years ago he put on the
uniform, and during all these years of
labor and anxiety he has done his duty.
No one has anything but kind word to
say about him, except it be the law
breakers. He is very conscientious
police officer and if any one, whether
friend or foe, does anything wrong, they
cannot expect any sympathy from him.
His attention TO duty merited the hon
Ors he wears. He is always courteous,
pleasant, and never forgetS thai. he is
public servant. He has many friends
in Minneapolis who would be even still
better pleased if he received higher
honOrs than what he now enjoys. but he
is satisfied where he is, and though
offered the experimenting OF the de-
partment once, refused. Were all the
members Of the police department built
after Capt. Bueiferning's style the
mayor would nave few Investigations to
make.
Yesterday afternoon a well dressed
boy, about eighteen years old, convey
ing Il small Valise. walked up NicolIet
dtlClINlNN ny man W nv hSo wv
IDENTITY a cJachman. Both made their
way to the terminus Of the Lyndale
electric line OH HeHnepin and boarded
a car. The boy did not speak great
deal to his companion, but kept an eye
on everything as the car boWled along
LOring park. When the top OF LoWry's
hill was reached, the boy and his at
tendant alighted, and went up to the
front door of Alr. Lowry's palatial resi-
dence. The door was opened by the
hOusekeeper, and the y0ung man was
handsomely received by those of the
Lowry family who were home. The boy
was no other than little Tommy Ryan,
whom Mir. Lowry brought from Ireland
little less than year ago. The little
fellow has been at school in the East
ever since, and returned yesterday to
enjoy the holidays. He has magnifl-
cent voice, and during his stay at the
happy home of his kind friend will
make things lively by his enchanting
songs.
Some parts of Minneapolis are becom-
ing decidedly aristOcratic. OF these
some of the property owners agree to
make certain improvements in the way
of planting trees, putting in gas and
sewer connections and the like: but it
takes KenwOod to lead in all the latest
fadS in the reform line. There is an un
derStanding among all the property
owners in kenWo0d that should they
sell their property, provided the same is
unimproyed, that the conditions of the
sale imply 50, 900 residence within six
months from the date of sale. This
keeps out undesirable people. But the
latest is a move to exclude beer wagons,
as well as beer, from that beautiful
suburb. An association is to be formed
pretty soon by which the promoters of
the same hope to get all resident prop
erty owners interested in this war on
bottle beer and the like, and, if maj or-
ity of the people will go into the deal,
the names of those who refuse to join
will be published. There may be worse
than beer flowing into Lake of the Isles
before the summer is over. as they are
not all crankS who live in KenWood.

On Tenth avenue south and Fifth
street yesterday afternoon there was a
large and excited crowd gathered, anx-
1Ously watching every move that some
Invisible thing was making in the
trees. Almost every one who went
that way stopped to inquire what the
matter was. No one could find time to
answer the most civil question, but all
were anxious to catch the unknown.
AT last a small boy exclaimed, Il know
what it is; it is white sparrow, and Fll
climb that tree tonight and get it,
When the boy had finished his remark,
Tom Downs. who had swelled the
crowd by one few minutes before,
called the boy to him and told him he
would give him handsome sum of
money for that bird if he would get it
for him. The boy said he would do his
best, and Tom drove Oh. 10 friend
he afterward said that his reason for
trying TO get that bird was to send it to
John Norton as the white dove of peace,
and that if John would accept it a truce
would be signed. John will probably
