Field for Stenographers.

That Minneapolis is an excellent field
for skilled shorthand writers is shown
by the fact that since Jan. l, 1892. the
Bower Shorthand School has supplied
over eighty firms with stenographerS,
and could have placed several more but
for the small number taking up the
study. The impression that there are
more stenographers than openings is
due to the fact that students do not re-
ceiye practical instruction while at
school, and business men have no time
to waste on incompetents. Students
attending this school are sure Of secur-
ing Immediate employment upon finish
ing their course of study, no provision
being made for failure.

clpal attractions at the coming exposi-

sion to hundreds of thousands of peo-
Pile. The allegury of the war song will
be one of the features, also solo on the
trombone by Prof. lnnes each day of
the exposition. The band tournament

be feature and an event of considera-
BILE musical importance. Prizes to the

Another Ugly Charge Preferred
Against the Resort.

Against the Resort.
1t is very likely that the notorious re-
sort at the corner of Second street and
Third avenue south, known as Sudini's
place, will come under the eagle eve of
the grand jury. So many complaints
have been made against the resort that
the jury will probably be forced to in
vestigate. The latest complaint comes
from Supt. Gross, of the workhouse.
and in such manner that it cannot be
ignored. Yesterday Judge Elliot re-
ceived a communication from Supt.
Gross. 1t is printed below and speaks
for itself:

COURT OF LAST RESORT.
Supreme Court Judges aud Their Relations
to the Pr~ess-lnstAnces of Leakage

Supreme Court Judges and Their Relations
to the Press-lnstAnres of Leakage"
The justices of tho supreme court are
arbitrary in their dealings with the
press, writes Il correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press. They ARE usually
courteous us well. but sometimes the
arDitrarincss takes an unpleasant and
inconvcnicnt form. For example, 1t is
very likely that Il supreme court JUS
ticc, after reading an elaborate decision
OF some important case, will put the
manuscript of the. decision in his pocket
and take it home with him, to the utter
confusion of the reporters who are
vainly waiting for n glimpse of it. An
excursion to the Justices home ut night
usually results in the. production of the
manuscript, but not invariably.
The Justices of the supreme court oh
jcct to having literal quotations made
from their decisions; and the clerk, in
turning these decisions over 10 the re-
portcrs, absolutely prohibits any literal
extracts from them Everything that
the justices say may be put in the re-
portcr's WI language AMI told to the
public, but until the oil 'ial report of
the proceedings of the court is published
unlcr the auspices of t%lc'cOurt the Ian
guaSc OF the decision itself must not
be quoted, unless special permission is
given, rs is lone in rare eases.
Charges of leakage" of important
decisions havc bccIvcry fcw-n rcmarlS-
able testimony to the. purity of the
court. There is little doubt that the
Bell telephone decision reached the ears
Of the Spectators before il was an
nounccd and that the knowledge that
the patent would d. sustained ncttcd
them an enormous SUN. There was n
|. general belief that the decision would
be in favor OF Bell; but the uncertainty
about it kept the telephone stock in an
uneasy and depressed condition. When
the decision was announced it went up
with a bound and the SPECTATORS who
had bought heavily on the advance news
made enormous profits.
l believe the facts connected with
this leakage have never been given nc
curateiy. No dishonOr attaches to the
nane of the justice who wrote the de
cision. a member of his household OBJ
tanned surrcputious knowledge of the
