Supt. Henderson and Secretary F. A.
George inspected the police of the diff
!erent precints during the week. Some
Df the men they found in prime condi-
lion, while Others were advised to pur-
chase new uniforms as soon as possible.
Fred, as Secretary George is known by
all around the city hall. has been in the
harness a good while, and not only
knows the duties of a policeman thor
Dughly, but has all the laws and ordi-
nanceS committed 20 memory. There
rre few lawyers in the city, not eX-
cepting Ed a. Stevens, who know the
city ordinances as well as Fred, and I'M
less one asked him about these ordi-
nanceS he would never know that Fred
Is as we'll posted as he is. He can 90 so
far as to read off the patrol limits with
Dut looking at a map, and if he should
betake himself TO some other line Of
life he would be much missed in and
around the city hall.
The ministers propose to adopt the
irish plan of campaign" in handling
Sunday theaters. They have called on
Their parishioners to boycott those
theaters that insist Oh keeping open
Sunday. But it seems that the mana
gers of the different theaters nave al
ready decided 10 adopt the same policy
towards those churches whose ministers
are so very OutSpOken against them.
When the managers will announce
themselves is not known. but the dis
interested public feel that this matter
should be settled in a talking contest,
and for this purpose the local base ball
manager promises to let the contestants
have the use Of the ball park, with per
mission TO charge any or no admission
fee, as they see fit. If left to the minis
tiers there will be quite large admiS-
sion fee charged. Umpire Collins says
he will take day off and manage the
affair. Now, if some one would secure
a band "a band of music, not hat band
all would be we'll.
d. A. Macarthur, who has been identi-
fed with more than one newspaper en-
terpriSe in Minneapolis, is likely to loom
up lin the near future as an advertising
solicitor for the Tribune. Mac, as he is
generally called, is a tirSt-rate fellow,
and did more to put the journal on its
feet than ahy other man connected with
the paper when he was there. In an
evil hour he went to a rival paper, and
thus merited the everlasting enmity of
his first love. Mash No. did not prove
1t rejected Mac. After passing through
the ups and downs of political tight,in
which Mac came out second best, be
dropped cut of sight for time until
few days ago. when he appeared in
court as plaintiff in a suit against the
man who had lured him away from a
good job. Mac won his case, and is now
better thought Of than ever. Macs
friends say that If he runs for alderman
4hA
bent Sam Love, the latter will not get
a single vote outside his harness shop.
Not many Sundays ago Dr. David
James Burrell took occasion to roast,
from his pulpit in Westminster church,
Archbishop ireland. because the latter
called at the White house presumably
to discuss Indian affairs with the head
of that bureau. The doctor spared
neither time nor language in
calling the archbishop down for inter-
fering in matters that ecclesiasticS
should have nothing to do with. Now
the same preacher is silent about the
pow-WoW that he and other ministers
are making on the so-called Sunday
laws. The public like consistency, and |
il the Minneapolis ministers know their |
business they will let the mayor alone. !
TheIe is one consolation i'll this matter !
for all good and honest citizens who |
desire to see liberal municipal govern |
ment, and that is, that these ministers |
will not be able to rattle Mayor Wins |
ton as they did eX-MayOr Babb when he |
was in office. In trying to please every |
body Babb pleased nobody and every
one in Minneapolis knows the result.
Since the country folks heard that the !
license for circuses has been reduced |
One-half, they have started in i'll earnest |
to prepare themselves for their great (
national holiday. The only day in the |
year that the farmers wives get gen
uine holiday is circus day. They rise !
early and come to town to see the ami
mails eat. They do not care how much |
it costs to get in. They will pay even
The past week has been busy one
with dry goods stores. The farmers
wives have been i'll town buying ging
hams and the like for circus day, and
the country dresSmakerS will be rushed
from now till the tent is folded and
gone. 1t takes little, very little indeed,
to please some people.
The time of the year has arrived
when the evening papers begin to print
the ''Ho for Red ROck' item.
IlC ICpOlG OlIdG II. L ICSS6y HIS It,
turned from ST. Louis to participate in
the forthcoming walking match at the
Washington rink is probably without |
foundation.
Mayor Winston has actually had the |
nerve to go away without waiting !
week for the ministers to get around |
with their gentle roast. This is, pre-
sumably, another evidence that the
present administration is a Goddess one.
The Autographs of Col. Ingersoll
show that gentleman with arms akimbo;
his coat is open. and the entire attitude
is Enthusiastically easy one he is
fond of assuming. 1t remained for Col.
w. w. Wettleson, of the Times, how
ever, to remark: "If Ingersoll is trying
to show off his vest, I'll give you a
pointer, he amt III it with me-"
