The weather yesterday was very sui

storm. About5:3Oit began to rain, and
the shower continued for nearly an

being barely sufficient to 10y the dust

DAMSELS DISTURBED.
The Police Raid the More or Less
GiIded Palaces.


The detectives and police officers at
central station were kept pretty busy
last evening, and before midnight the
cells contained q motley crowd. Officers
Davis and Haney were once again OH
the war path, and carried the fight into
the camp of evil-doers by "pulling' q
number of disreputable houses. Alice
Howard, twenty-nine, Nellie Burke,
thirty-tve, and Lille Williams, thirty
two, were caught running house of i'll
fame at 172 East Seventh street, between
Sibley and jackson. Despite their
wishes Officers Davis and Haney con-
veyed them to police headquarters,
where they were placed in the cooler.
Cora Van DylSe, twenty-three, and
Emma Johnson, twenty-five, were
caught by the officers on East Sixth
street soliciting. They were placed un-
der arrest and sent to headquarters. but
not relishing night i'll the rooms of the
Hotel de keefe, paid SIS each to secure
their freedom.
Again the alarm bell rang and the
patrol wagon dashed on its mission to
return with a load of depraved men and
women, black and white. Sergeant
Pottgeiser had raided the house 800
Robert street, near Sixth, and secured
Ruby Stanley, twenty-one; Gerty Pa
chin, twenty, white woman; Max Fell,
forty: Blanch KaSer, twenty-one; Laura
Brown. twenty; and W. Davis, twenty
five, all colored. Into the pen they went
and changing the heavy doors closed be-
hind them.
Detectives Horan and Kenealy also
sent up a batch of young thieves whom
they caught on Fifth, near Minnesota,
with large box of figs and bundle of
oranges in their possession. They gave
the names of Clarence Winch, sixteen,
and W. Henshaw, seventeen, the former
being also charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons, having large revolver
fully loaded i'll his pocket.
The detectives also arrested Jack
O'Brien, twenty-seven, blacksmith, and
W. (. Stevens, nineteen, a variety
singer, on charge of having swindled
the previous day man from Omaha
out of his money by means of the old
paddock confidence game.

HAS DONE SOME coon

1t is not probable that any consider
rate person would be likely to outline
free-for-all sort of a convocation, like
that just in session at Kansas CITY. as
moving to definite conclusions in regard
to questions of general interest in the
West, and avoiding imputationS of par
tlSanShip. a good many persons, no
doubt, sought seats in the convention to
break the force of obvious expressions
from real reflection of Western senti-
ment. 1t is not surprising that their
failure to enfeeble or divert the utter
ance of the convention filled their souls
with disgust and led to occasional va
cant seats. No great results were ex-
pected from body called under so vague
formulas. and such latitude of compost
ton. The conclusions are quite as force
full and timely as could be reasonably
anticipated. No opinions will be
changed IN consequence, but it will be
more clearly understood as to what are
the essential aims of the West in GER
tain material lines. Some of the ideas
advanced are no doubt impracticable, or
too remote in execution or vast in vol
ume for the emergency. The president
of the body. who is also the governor of
Missouri, found one great measure of
relief for the material ills that retard
the prosperity of the West in the pro-
posed backbone railway of the two con-
tinents. He would be able to sstep on
yestibuled train at Kansas City and
step off it at Buenos Ayres." That is
not quite so fancitul as a remedial
agency as would be the exploration of
Greenland for customers for ice.
A continental railroad from the
United States to Patagonia might de-
velop mineral and other resources
not now visible, and would give a SEN
timental phase to the literal linking of
the republics with iron bands. There
need be no disparagement of the scheme
if there are people who wish to put
their money in it, but for transportation
of American goods and products to mar
kets 1000 or 5000 miles south, it could

A M1SNOMER.

One of the most interesting branches
of philology is to trace the history of
surnames. Every surname, no matter
how difficult it is to find it out, in the
beginning meant something; and if it
does not now, 1t is because it had its or
igin in some dead tongue, or has been
altered beyond recognition by the prog
reSs of time and the abuses of its en-
ployment. If the facts about them all
were collated, there would be many in
teresting revelations about the humble
starting points of our contemporary
aristocrats, and many amusing misnom-
ers brought to light in the instances of
the people masquerading under titles
which fit them in the illest fashion.
These profound linguistic or theolog-
ical reflections are suggested by the col

but If the breadth of her shoulders and
the deep vistas of herchest are correctly
pictured, nothing short of the superla-
tive degree could accurately name her.
There surely is a fatal variance in her
title. She is not BIGGAR, she is BIG

WHAT ST. PAUL NEEDS.

JOHN STUART MILL in his autobo-
graphy defines the ideal life as one
made up of protracted periods of tran
Quillity. interrupted by occasional peri
Ods of excitement. If it is a true
definition. the life of the members of
the St. Paul city fire department ap-
proaches more nearly to what we should
all struggle for than any imaginable
existence. Nobody has greater tran
QuillitY than they as they pass ball or
exchange the com pliments OF the sea-
son between fires; and no one has
greater excitement than they as they
lash their horses and hurry their lad
ders and hose when the bell rings.
The Rev. S. G. SMITH has invited a
number of our leading citiZene, includ-
ing therein many members of the de-
funct Twilight club, to give him their
opinion of what st. Paul most needs.
The GLOBE did not belong to the Twi-
light club, but it ventures to contribute
to the occasion. There is nothing more
desirable than that as many of our peo-
pie as possible should have an oppor-
tunity to lead the ideal life: and, assum-
ing that JOHN STUART Mill. knew
what he was talking about, st, Paul
needs most of all an enlarged city fire
department, where everybody with soul
yearningS can find Job
