MINNEAPOLIS,
NOTE AND COMMENT NJ

This was printed in an evening pa
per Saturday night: ut is reported
that A. j. Blethen is now figuring on
getting hold of the Times. He is said
to have had conferences with number
of the Times directors with view to
getting foothold, but with what sue
cess is not known. Mr.. Blethen de-
MED all knowledge of any such move
when questioned today"
Some time ago it was stated with
good deal of confidence that Mr.. Blethen
would start a Democratic daily. 1t is
possible that negotiations with the
Times people started the rumor. al
though how Mr.. Blethen's ultra-Repub-
licanism could be recOnciled to the pro-
mitigation of Democratic doctrine is
mystery. And should MIR. Blethen take
the management of the Times, what
would become OF young Mr.. Thresher ?
Next week the stock company will
play "Streets OF New York" at the
Bijou, with Louis James as Badger.
MIR. James has good deal of assurance
TO attempt to play Badger in Minneap-
oils, the home of our own Ben Johnson.
Lawyers about town have begun TO
remark the unusual diminutiveness of
damage suit verdcts recently. A few
days ago suit TO recover damages
for the death of woman al
legged to have been killed by
doctors resulted in verdict for little
over $500. A man who was made
cripple for life sued for damages, and
the Jury disagreed. And so it has been
going for weeks and months. Some
lawyers incline to the belief that value

that jurors are approaching the eX-
IRENE, either in ignorance or intelli-
gence. They are not agreed as 10 which
extreme, the opinion depending upon
the practice of the lawyer.

possible that Miss Armstrong has put

When newspaper readers saw the
bold offer to wager 500, many were in
clined to think that A. j. Blethen had
already assumed the management of
the paper.
