We STILL LIVE.
The Comet and Meteor Display
Was a E'iZzTe

was EIzzte.
AS the GLOBE goes to press this morn
ing the celestial disturbance has thus
far failed to make connections. Not
only did Biela's comet. or Whosever
comet it is. shabbily miss its appoint
ment. but even the predicted splendor
OF the meteoric display disgracefully
went back on its engagement. Though
the heavens were only partially clear,
and while the moon insisted
upon obstrading its light. to
the detriment of whatever visions
were on the celestial boards, there was
vet opportunity for observation, and
the keenest kind of scrutiny failed to
discover the starry shower due last
night Perhaps the fault lay with the
reporter the GLOBE detailed to take
StenOgraphic report of whatever stellar
collOquy might occur, but certain it is
he failed to make connection with either
comet OF Vagrant meteor.
The moon was in her second quarter
and was carrying on mild filtration
with Jupiter as long as she was above
the horiZon-and that was prolonged to
an hour at which even the cold and
VirtuouS Luna should have been abed.
There was more or less fog during the
night and the lesser stellar lights shone
dimly, even the mighty Sirius loom
ing up dlmly late in the
night. AT midnight the heavens
presented their choicest attractions
though rather unfavorable circum-
stances. The majestic Orion had swung
sufficiently clear OF the horizon to per-
nit Sirius to follow into sight, while
the gIittering Pleiades and the mellow
Aldebaran were we'll on toward the
zenith. When Orion is at the zeuith it
is conceded that the Northern skies
present no finer panorama. But there
were no meteorlc fireworks.
Nor was there any comet, as far as
the naked eye could conceive. The
constellation of Andromeda had passed
the zenith. and was swinging toward
the west in its tireless circle about the
pole. but the finest pair of eyes could
discern no sign of comet. Perhaps, if
the atmosphere had been clearer, more
might have been observed; but about
midnight heavy fog set in, and the
nights observations were at an end.

april FooP' Given Cordial Re-
ception.
There is much of catchy music, very
pleasing singing of fresh songs and
sprinkling of clever dancing in the en-
tertainment offered by Gus Williams
and his company at the Grand this
week. AS usual on Sunday evening,
only standing room could be secured by
dilatory corners last evening, and every
body seemed to enjoy in full measure
the efforts of the players. There is a
minimum of plot and a maximum of
fun-making in April Fool" There are
no stage sticks in the company and
there is plenty of life. vim and mirth-
producing work. There would be little
use in taffyimg Gus Williams. He is
perhaps the IDEAL German comedian of
the smooth and breezy type, and his as
sociates, male and female, assist him
very acceptably.

ing IheIr work.
At a largely attended meeting of the
members of the Catholic Total Absti-
nence societies of Ramsey county, held
at Crusaders hall last evening, Mr..
Gutridge, president of the Archdio-
cesar union. brought up the question of
the ACCESSIBILITY of raising a fund
for the purpose Of pushing the
work in the more sparSely set
tied portions of the territory
covered by the union. His proposition
met with a most hearty reception, and
action was Immediately taken towards
raising money to be devoted to that
object. The movement will be taken
up by all the societies in the city. and
the certainty of a sufficient amount
being raised is assured, one Jealous
lady member having started the sub

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Young Chafin Must Face the

EOung Chafiin Must Face the
NIusic.
A young fellow named f. Chalin is
in the tolls. He is charged with obtain
ing money under false pretenses. The
story is somewhat complicated 1t
transpires that Chaflin was in the en-
ploy OF LovejOy, Hinerich & Co., of
minneapolis, and that he manipulated
the old gag of freight charges with sue
cess. He drew two checks Oh the
st. Paul National bank, using
Minneapolis bank blanks and eras-
ing the name of the Minneapolis
bank and inserting the name Of the st.
Paul bank. Each check read to pay to
the order of the bearer SO, and
the two consequently melted $50. Cahf-
lin secured the $40, but the checks were
returned marked no funds, and it was
upon this that he was arrested Gerber
and Lyde placed him i'll durance, and
yesterday Joe Lawrence, of Minneapo-
lis. came over and took him to the
the Flour City, where he will be ar
raigned today. Chafin is said to be
we'll connected, and ne has a wife and
child at 20 Isabelle street, in this city,
but he was separated from her some
months ago because of his dissolute
habits.

know them. If our witnesses were dis
reputable your district attorney would
soon show them up. These men testify
and was fired at the people on the bank.
Remember that crowd has right to
do the same thing in self-defense as the
individual. Dynamite and oil could be
rained on this uninan-f fearing and un-
considerable crowd of PinkertOns.
The Right to Shoot.
Now for the defendant. Is there any
evidence to show that Critehlow cOun-
tenaneed the resistance? Is it known
who shot Connors? You do know that
your own people were shot down and
killed We are working under the most
stilted economy. The moment you know
who fired the shot and that there was
no conspiracy among the people at the
plank, the right of those on the shore to
Shoot continued. Political laws are
silent when arms are 1aiSed. People in
insurrection are always anxious to be
recognized by foreign governments.
You speak of cooling time. According
to Capt. Cooper's testimony he stopped
shooting because he had no portfolios.
The people HAD driven the towards into
their holes. Laughter.
The only reason why the PinkertonS
did not wallow in the blood Of the peo-
pie was because of the magnificent re-
sistance. There were only rifles be-
hind the barricade and 800 in the boat.
Think of the absolute cowardice of men
with 300 rifles against 8! Such effront-
cry is only equaled by their eringing
fear. Cooper says they shot at every
head. Why. that magnificent volunteer
witness, Stewart. told a perfdions lie.
1t stands out boldly. Did you ever see
little squirt come in to look around
for the purpose of testifying? All. that
boy can tell a lie, and you find him in
the pay of Frick. On his word would
you convict? Oh. no. that game Is up.
Counsel on the other side stand here
and say: why didn't Critchow say
on the stand that he did not carry a
gun?" Why didn't you ask him? He
was there to answer. [Laughterl You

The late election held down In Au-
austa, Georgia, gives some insight in
10 tho manner In which elections are
generally conducted In that State when
there Is any particular candidate the
Democrats donot want to SEQ elected.
No Republican candidates ran for Of
flee In Georgia because 1t Is rather a
rsky business for LIE and limb, and so
the field was left clear forindependent
Democrats and Farmers Alliance mon
to occupy. But they, 1t seems though
they may esoape with their lives end
as general rule, without the loss of
many limbs, have no better luck al the
polls and in having their votes count
cd than the Republicans have. At the
late election in the Augusta district
the renowned Tom Watson, a Far
mers' Alliance, man was q candidate
for TO. election.
He had given mortal offence to the
Democrats by charging in the present
Congress of which he Is member
that a number Of members drank
more COLI tea than was good for them
or compatible with the proper dlsci-
plino and good order OF the House.
This of course was a mortal offence.
for ii there is any thing modern
Democrat hates it is TO DO told that he
drinks too much wniskey :.
y At any rate the Democrats had it in
f,Nr t,fH,t,,u Va Of lat 81.
They did not order out the cannon
brigade, they did not shoot him in the
back nor Ku-Klux him as they usually
d Republicans but they simply made
the ballots do the work and they did
