LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
The 27th Legislature Of Minnesota Close
Its Seaaion

MlQu0BOVS
Its Session.
ST.. PAUL, April 20.-The twenty-sev-
enth legislature of Minnesota is thing
Of the past. AS one of the members re-
marked the record is made and by it
the members must stand. Saturday
the 18th was day remarkable for the
amount of work done and the length of
the session. When the members came
into the chamber it was noticeable that
they had the night before carefully
laid away the fighting clothes they had
worn for forty-eight hours and ap-
peared arrayed in suits of brotherly
love and were strongly imbued with a
determined sense to get right down to
work by shutting off all verbiage and
frown down frivolity.
The session began promptly at a. m.
and with the exception of two short
recesses for dinner and supper, lasted
until 6:15 a. m. on Sunday. The session
had been open but an hour when the
general appropriation bill as passed by
the Senate was taken up and considered
by sections. Everything went along
all right until the clause appropriating
$35, 1000 for the establishment of beet
sugar factory was reached, and then
the Alliance members made a fight
which resulted in expunging the para
graph.
The concluding section was reached
about p. m. All of the Senate amend
ments had been fought bitterly but
with little avail. Speaker Champlin
taking the floor called Mr.. Stockweu to
the chair, and pointed out that the diff
ference between the original House
appropriation bill and the bill returned
from the Senate was 1854, 900. OF this
amount $sO,O00 was additional to the
Soldiers Home, $s5, ZOO for a new bind
ing twine machine and $3.50, 600 for a
revolving fund, making total of $685.
600 against which appropriations the
House had passed and no objection had
been raised. Then the Rochester asy-
lum appropriation had been increased
$50, 900, against which no objection
could be raised nor had been, making
1895, 900 of the difference. The Senate
bill had been amended by striking out
the $4,000 appropriation for beet
sugar factory bounty, leaving the diff
ference between the original House
bill and the Senate bill only $4,000.
The following sums of money are ap-
propriated out of any moneys in the
state treasury not otherwise appropri-
ated belonging to the general revenue
fund, for the payment of certain gen.
eral expenses of the state government,
for the fiscal years ending July, 1892 and
1898:

The great, arid desert of Sahara has
been tapped and found to be full OF
water. An enormous reservoir only one
hundred and twenty feet below the
surface has been discovered at El-Golea,
II small caravan station in the middle OF
The desert. The Importance of such q
discovery can scarcely be appreciated
by the people of this country. FL
Golea is one of the stopping places in
the Sahara desert of caravans which
travel across that region. and this dis
covery is expected to develop greatly
the caravan trade. The desert of Sa
hara may in time cease to be syno
nym of all that is vast and desolate.

now exploring the picture galleries of
Antwerp. They will have ample op-
portunity for seeing the historic nymphs

and walk behind the procession. If this
does not civilize them, nothing can.

THE bill providing municipal suffrage
for women has again been beaten in
the Massachusetts Legislature. This is
the twenty fifth annual defeat which a
female suffrage measure has encoun-
tered in that body; and as the adverse
vote was quite as crushing as on any
previous occasion, the reform kems as
far off as ever. However, ( Massa-
chusetts reformers are patent and
long suffering: and the measure will
put in an appearance at Boston an
nually for many years to come, per-
haps until it is adopted.

that linger along the great African riv-

only utilizing the scent but also the
stalks of this plant, the latter being

A Misery Housekeeper.

Nearly two years ago a sensation
was caused at Winoua, Minnesota, BY the
suicide of Lena Weinberg, for thirty
years housekeeper of the Hun and
the discovery after her deaf. about
si2, OoO in gold coin slowed awai under
false bottoms in her trunks. With this
money she was about to return TO her
native land, Sweden, and had shipped the
trunks to Baltimore, but in a moment OF
insane frenzy took her own life Just as the
time arrived for her departure. Tue
money was paid over 10 her heirs in
Sweden. A sequel now turns up scarcely
less interesting than the initiative.
On Saturday evening her executor, E
a. Goeditzen, had his attention drawn to
piano stool that had been used by the
woman Lena, and taking it to pisces there
was further sum of sIS, 900 in gold, which
the misery housekeeper had evidently
slowed away. There are various theories
as To where she obtained so much money,
one Of which assigns the real ownership
to Colonel Cockrell, the former proprietor
of the Huf house. 1t is probable a law
suit will follow.

Ever since public and official atten-
ton was directed to the subject Of the
frequency of desertions from the army
year or SO age, there has been deter
mined effort on the part OF the authorities
to improve the quality of men from which
this service is recruited in the belief that
In this lay the remedy for the great evil.
Extra endeavors were made to secure
young men who sought the army as a pro-
fession rather than haven of refuge, and
to this end the efforts of recruiting officers
have been systematically turned away
from cities towards the country.
<fhe new system has Just begun to show
s fruits, and is more than iustifying the
Expectations of those who inaugurated it
An cnioer OF the ad!utant generals de-
partment who has charge eof this work,
remarked recently:
ave are having very good luck with our
late recruits, ard think the army to-day
Ie composed of better class of people
than ever before. We have abandoned
the city field almost entirely for the coun-
try, where we are more apt to find vigor-
Gus young men, free from the contamina-
tich Of the rough life Of towns, eager to
do well and to wear the chevrons- Such
men make good soldiers, far better than
the old, hard tougns, who come out Of the
slums TO enlist as last resort or as o
means of drowning their identiues."

Capture of Opium at Chicago.

An opium capture was effected Sat
urday night to which the police and United
States officials attach great deal of i'm
pnrtauce. Special Treasury Agent J. J.
Crowley, has had suspicion that opium
was being smuggled into the city and sold
to Chinese Iaundries. Saturday night he
caused the arrest OF John Reynolds at the
Phoenix hotel, while the latter was in the
act Of receiving chest from the Union
depot, containing 200 pounds of opium.
Reynolds claimed TO be carpenter, and
the chest containing the opium appeared
be chest of carpenters tools. In the
top of the chest were few tools, but
false bottom disclosed the opium.
The prisoner is about 30 years old and
says he has been in the city two days.
The officers think that he is acting in con
junction with an organized gang on the
Pacific slope and has been doing large
business in that city. Had not the cap
ture taken place in the evening it is
thought Reynolds would have disposed of
the entire quantity before morning at
handsome profit. The government officials
think the arrest will break up the gang.

Longshoremen Killed.

A gang of longshoremen were en-
gagged in discharging the cargo from the
tramp steamship Gerbooth, lying at the
foot OF Richards street, Brooklyn, when a
box of dynamite cartridges in the after
hold exploded with terrific report, blow
ing two men to pieces and seriously iniur-
ing four others.
The victims were Cornelius Hayles and
William Reagan, killed.
The conclusion raised the deck and
blew big hole into the port side of the
ship. Immediately the ship began to fill,

OF the three men who We're at work in
the hold only one could be found. Hewas

and was carried out on deck where he
soon revived. Both OF the other two men
were literally destroyed. Fragments Of

The Antitrust Law.

Although a law prohibiting the
formation Of trusts and combinations was
enacted by Congress over one year ago, it
has thus far remained without any at
tempt being made to carry out its pro-
visions. 1t is understood, however, that
an effort Will soon be made by the depart
ment of justice to put this law into full
operation, and considerable uneasiness is
felt by those who will suffer their strict
enforcement. The antitrust act is very
conclusive in its character. 1t reads as
follows:
Every contract, combination, in the
form Of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy
in restraint of trade or commerce among
the several states, or foreign nations, is
hereby declared 10 be illegal"
1t is believed that with comprehensive
definition of its provisions and careful
statement of the abuses intended to be
corrected with its enactment with fully
prepared plan of legal procedure by the
attorney-g general, that this law can be
made to cover all existing pools, combina-
tions and trusts.

The Latest London Scandal.

A cablegram from London saws:
Several stories are afioat with regard to
Mr.. Baird's assault upon Mrs. Langtry,
about which there has been a good deal o (
gossip. The following story may be re-
lied upon as being authentic, as it was
told by those who saw Mrs. Laugtry Just
after the assault had been committed with
the blood streaming down her face:
Some time ago Mr.. Baird bought York
house, Regents Park, for Mrs. Langtry
and also paid off her debts IN connection
with the Princess theater, of which he is
at present tne lease lol:ier. On a recent
occasion Mr. Baird returned home upex
pectedly and found a young gentleman
dining with Mrs. Langtry. Without moi q
ado, he proceeded to fire him out and then
he "went for'' the lady who is Familiarity
known as the Lilly" and knocked her
down. Then, while not exactly emulatinc
Mr.. Coster, he kicked her il the face in
such a way that it is said she is now dis
figured for life
Mrs. LangtFy had to be carried to bed
and attended by surgeon, VINO declared
il as probable she will never be able to act
again. Mrs. Laugtry began an action for
assault against Mr.. Baird, but when he
had sobered up he repented of what he had
done, and went to the house Then to
prevent this action, he paid her the sum of
