dcaVH Ouf
The small boy and his bigger BROTH
ers and sisters had the privilege yes
terday of keeping the fire department
on the run from early morn to late at
night. with few exceptions the fires
were very small, but that was owing
mainly to the prompt manner in which
the fire apparatus turned out for the
various alarms. The following is a list
of the fires which occurred:
IL a. M. 3S3 Jackson street, pile of
rubbish. in rear of Finch Van Slyck
& Co.'s warehouse, caused by fireworks.

under the Robert street bridge attracted
a vast concourSe of people. Cause,
spark from firecracker.

called the apparatus to the bluff, near
Hill street.
11:49. The firemen rushed to Fourth
and Market, only to find another burn
ing pile of rubbish.

work of the department, but at 2:05 p.
m. the first serious fire of the day took
place. The two-story frame building
at 453 Robert street, occupied in the

MISS GARDNER FINED 500.
The Judge Decides Not to Send
the Society Leader to Jail.


the Society Leader to Jail.
New York Advertiser
There was large crowd in the court
room at Newark yesterday when Miss
Lucy Gardner, the Orange society belle,
was called up for sentence on charge
of stealing goods sent to her by
Stern Bros, of this city. When
the case was called and Miss
Gardner advanced to the bar to receive
sentence, she was apparently the most
collected person in the room. She stood
looking the Judge straight in the eye,
without tremOr of a muscle, all the
time he was addressing her.
The Judge said:
"a jury of this coun ty has found you
guilty of grand larceny. and the court
has declined to set aside the verdict.
Nothing now remains but to pronounce
sentence. The court has taken into ac-
count how much you have lost by this
trial, the disgrace and modification at
tending your friends, but all this law
cannot take into account.
1.-The court does not think it neces-
sary to condemn you to herd with crlm-
inalS or further OStraclZe you from Socl-
ETY.. The court will, therefore, impose
fne or Sl0O ana costs OF prOSecuIlOI.
You will stand committed. until the
| costs are paid"
As soon as the sentence was pro-
nounced Counsel DAILY, on behalf OF
Miss Gardner. presented a writ OF
error to remove the case to the supreme
court of the state for review. He also
presented a bail bond in the sum of
$500. signed by Miss Gardner and Rich
ard Coyne, Of East Orange, providing
that Miss Gardner shall abide by the
Judgment of the supreme court, and If
| it is against her she shall pay the fine
and costs. AS soon as this application
was made Miss Gardner, her mother and
her amt left the court room, followed
by their fashionably attired friends.
The latter are jubilant over the result.
But the sentence is not light one. The
costs will foot up nearly 500. This,
taken with the 500 fine and the pay
ment OF the costly counsel she engaged.
Judge Haly, of Jersey City, and Edwin
A. Pratt, of New York, will mulct her
in nearly $1,000. even if she gets OFF with
that sum. Besides this she will have
to pay the expenses of the appeal. 1t
is believed, however, that the fines Will
be paid and the case ended before the
appeal comes up.

the past ten years ar so. Formerly these
events used to be productive of as
much speculation as the classic races on

in the doings of the peds is only
shadow of that which previously ex-
listed. With the decadence of this
branch of sport those off-hand matches
for wagers so prevalent at one time are
now few and far between. Old records
give particulars of several of these af-
fairs, of which the following are few:
In April, 1751. man (whose name is
not recorded) undertook for a wager to
walk twelve miles on the Essex road,
London, in two hours, and accomplished
the distance in one hour thirty-eight

Won MOLTKE's CREED.
A Remarkable Letter on Religion
Rules of Health.


Rules of Health.
Pail Mail Gazette.
Very little is known of Count Moltke's
religious doctrines, except that he
shared the simple faith in which his old
master, William l., lived and died
There is, however, passage in one of
his books which gives a clew to Moltke's
conception OF the central figure of the
Christians faith.
Referring to Christ's life on earth, he
said: His life was humble: He was
the descendant of people in bondage,
and he had not place where to lay His
head To the fishermen He talke d in
parallels about God; He healed the sick.
and died the death of an evil-doer. And
yet there has never been anything on
this earth that could be purer, more ele-
waited, and alsO--even seen from the
worldly point Of view-mor9 successful
than this conduct. this teaching and
this DEATH"

tiOnal society asked a number of emf

MR.. HELDEMANA AND THE FAI

MR.. HELDEMAN AND THE FAIR.
At the last annual meeting Of the
Agricultural Society the secretary, Mr..
aeideman, accepted a reelection only
on the condition that he would not be
handicapped in his efforts to make the
annual exhibit an unqualified success.
The society willingly acquiesced in this
demand, and Mr.. Heideman was re.
elected. He then made the promise and
assured the society that he would attend
to it that Brown county in 1891 would
have Fair, ''what was Fair" That
was several months ago. Time has
slipped by, the season for work has
opened and still there has been nothing
accomplished. The secretary has even
stated without reserve that he is not in.
terested in the Fairs success. Surely
this is not what was promised, and Mr..
Heideman can hardly consider himself
free from blame in thus letting matters
60 by default; especially after assuring
everybody that the conduct of the Fair
would be safe if left exclusively in his
hands. On the contrary, there is good
reason for complaint, it appears, in his
neglect of matter of so much impor-
lance to the business interests of the so.
ciety and of the town.
What reasons Mr.. Heideman can
have for acting as he has, we do not
know. Certain it is, however, that he
has not endeavored to give them to the
public The burden which he now
would shift hnlo others, he accepted of
mis- own accord and without protest,
and the rules prescribed were those of
his own suggestion. Had he gone ahead
with the work, there would have been
no lack of cooperation, for the Review
is satisfied that New Ulnl does not con-
tain citizen, who is not anxious that
Brown county should have Fair ana a
good one at that. How be could find
fault with his own arrangements, there
fore, he alone can explain. This he
should do at once, for there is no longer
any time to be wasted in misunder-
standing.

WHAT'S THEIR EXCUSE?

It is not the province of this or any
paper to deal with new political move
ments other than with fairness. Peo-
pie, who feel that they are being
wronged, have a right to seek redress.
Advocates of new parties are entitled to
hearing.
With the desire, therefore, to honest
ly criticise but not to ridicule, the Re-
view would like to know what excuse
there was for starting branch of the
Peoples Party in Minnesota, as was
done in St. Paul week ago. Last fall,
there were fifty thousand votes cast for
Alliance principles in this state. The
result was the election to the legislature
Of enough sympathizers with the So
called reform movement to, direct the
actions of the law-makjng body. But
INSCRIPTIONS leaders gained control of
some of the reform members, and the
good intentions of a few were cunning
ly perverted, so that to-day there is not

that he was benefited by the ninety days
OF costly session, or that his station

proved. Aside from the elevation to
prominence and fat salaries Of few
well-known and experienced pap
suckers, the fifty thousand Alliance
votes deposited in the ballot boxes
last November, let the motive have
been what you will, were to all pract-
ical. purposes thrown away.
The prospects now in the launching
of the Peoples party are no more aus
picious. The same leaders are at the
head of the movement, bent, as hereto
fore, on manipulating everything to
their own advantage. Donnelly, Baker,
Fish and the others have fully establish
ed their regulations by this time, and
there can no longer be any doubt as to
their selfish motives. With this under
stood by reasoning farmers, is it not
dealing fair to ask what of profit there
is come to them from endorsing
the Peoples. or more correctly, The
Donnelly Fish movement in Minnesota.

THE DEDICATIONI IN AUGUST.

AS there is 10 be celebration in
New Ulm in August, it is to be
hoped that it will be a memorable one.
The state having bonored our city with
monument in commemoration of
scenes that were enacted here early in
the history of the town, New Ulm citi.
zens should show their appreciation of
the gift with fitting ceremonies of dedl-
cation. The eveut should not only be
marked by the attendance, as far as is
possible, of all who were actively en-
gagged in the struggle for the defense of
neighbors and of friends, but, as it is to
form chapter of interest in the history
of the state, the prominent mel of the
commonwealth should be invited to be
present. In short, let New Ulm open
its doors and bid everybody welcome.
The town has never had the reputation
of dong anything by halves; it should
not begin to establish one now. Honor
will come to us from successful dedi-
cation and in addition thereto material
profit.
Time was when New Ulm, through
base villifiers, had q name that was not
to be envied. Undeserved as we all
know it to be, it nevertheless has
chung to the town as an ever source of
qualification to our enemies. Happily,
however, the stigma is being removed.
People around the state are gradually
having their eyes opened to the fact that
New Ulm was never such bad place
after all, and the SANDER that once
acted to its bane, is now having a
boomerang effect that is pushing New
Ulm along to the front rank of pros
porous, happy, intelligent and rushing
business cities. AS the bringing of
strangers into the town only adds to its
good name, the coming celebration af-
fords most excellent chance to still
further SET US Alright with the people Of
the state. Its perhaps q selfish view
to take Of the event, but the circum-
stances seem tojustify it. Let the cele-
bration therefore be movement for
New Ulm at the same time that it is
hearty expression of gratitude to the
citizens Of the state.
