Of course. nobody likes to be always
finding fault with the way this really
great and glorious city is carried on, but
now that Lent gives us all plenty of
time for meditation, one can't help but
be struck by the fact that our streets
are i'll simply disgraceful condition.
There is mud ankle deep at the cross
ings, and worse than that, sometimes
the puddles stand on the very walks
themselves. Now, On the Wabasha
street front of the court house block,
several of the great paving stones are
Sunken at one side, and in the basins
thus formed the icy water lies in wait
for such paSserS as fix tn cir eyes aIoft.
The. north side Of Fourth street is a
thing for Gle anly people to shudder at.
The streets need looking after, aud let
us devoutly hope that the powers that
be will put in the Lenten season attend
ing to them.
A great many of the women one
knows will put in their time for the
next forty days with Her Royal High
ness, the dressmaker. The new gowns
that will be concocted are things to
dream of, and the first pleasant day
after Easter will bring them out. Easter
usually comes entirely too early in this
climate, and as general thing only the
reckless women, who are bound to be
correct even at the price of blue nose
and Il bad cold, appear newly arrayed
at Easter. This year, let US hope, the
fateS will be kind, and give us warm
and sunny Easter.
After Lent lots of people are going
abroad, and they do say that there will
be an amazing number of Easter we'd
dingS. Several OF the best known of
the younger set will set sail on that vari-
able sea for which there is 10 reliable
chart, the sea of maJrilnony. One ST.
Paul glrl-or at least everybody says SO
is to marry real, live foreign noble
man as soon as the first buds are green
on the trees. The wedding will create
decided sensation, but nobody dareS
give the particulars as yet.

frivolous girls.
And when the sparring match began
they could hardly sit still. They were
n
brutal prize fights, 1.-The papers tell
about, and when the match began they
wished the men Wouldn't bit so hard.
When Ashton. according to the plan of

sEARcHERs. gAFrER TRUTH.
An Evening With.the St.Paul The
OsophicaI Society.

osophicaI Society.
The st. Paul Theosophical society
met last night on the eighth floor of the
Globe building, and sought after truth
with great deligence for an hour and
half. There were present a score or
two searchers,of whom by no means the
majority had the look of inner illumina-
ton theos0phiSts might reasonably be
supposed to possess. A long aud pro-
fusely poiysyllabic paper on hypnotism
was read. SO crowded was it with the
technical terms of the philosophy that
it was utterly unintelligible to the un-
learned listener. When the last echoes
of the readers voice had died into Si-
lence, the presiding officer re-
marked, in confidential tone of voice,
discussion of the subject would be in
order. Thereupon an attractive Wom-
an or the audience, who announced
herself as clair@oyant to certain eX
tent, took up great deal of valuable
time with a narration of the things she
is in the habit of seeing, and which
would indicate an alarming state of
something closely bordering on jim
jams. She made use of the stock re-
marks of spiritualiSts, dealing the
queens English Insult and injury with
out change of countenance. There
was some desultory discussion by other
people present, each speaker seemingly
conversing fuently on. subject the
nature OF which was apparent only to
his own inner consciousness. This lent
variety to the discussions. but was
trifle perpleXing. Astral planes, astral
shells, psychic entities, I-am-l-ishness,
cosmic forces and other pleas ant and
appallingly learned-sounding terms
were frequently heard. No definite
conclusion was arrived at concerning
anything whatever, and several of the
searcherS said confdentialIy that it was
an off hight with the society.

Tuesday evening was the theme that
was in everybody's mouth at the city
hall yesterday. The city officials were
amazed at the declarations made by
Aid. Dobner that none of the citizens of
st. Paul favor the auditorium project,
and to remind any who might be about
the city hall yesterday afternoon that
there is public sentiment in favor of
the enterprise, good many citizens
called to express their preferences.

Friend and his brother-in-law, Milton
Everett, are in Jail here charged with
the murder Of Deputy Sheriff Williams,
OF Taney county, and the alleged wife
SLAYER, John w. Bright. Their arrest
was made on information fled by w. j..
GeShew. GeShew states that last Satur-
day night, Everett, who is farmer
about 50 years of age, came TO Spring
field, and me two men were st the same
boarding 1uSe and were assigned 70 the
same room. Everett had been drinking
heavily and before going 70 bed, was
very restless and agitated and cOnvers-
ed continually about the Taney county
affair. In his sleep Everett constantly
exclaimed: Don't shoot him, George,
don't shoot him"
The next morning under promise OF
secrecy Everett confessed 10 Geshew

The First Two Democratic District Con-
ventIons IN Ohio Go Against Cleveland
Brice and Hill Prominent.
SrSetdI TsIsSroSa 20 ths REGISTER.
COLUMBUS, o., May 1.-TWO Ohio Con-
gressional Districts have selected dele
gates to the National Democratic Conven-
tion: The fourth at Sidney yesterday, and
the eighth at Kenton to-day.
The anti-Cleveland movement shows un-
expected strength in the results. The
delegates selected are variously accredited
some to Hill and some to Brice but they
are on record at least as fearing that
Cleveland connot carry New York.
George w. Hull, one Of the delegates
selected In the Fourth district said TO your
correspondent two weeks ago:
II do not know where the Democrats
could find stronger candidate than we
have in our town"
He lives in Lima and of course referred
TO Senator Brice. His colleague, j. G..
Gulmins, of Sidney, is known to doubt the
wisdom of nominating either Cleveland or
Hill Hull is State Game Warden, an
Office he holds from Governor Campbell,
and he will of course be favorably inclined
to Mr. Campbell. Albert ZUgswOrth, one
Of the delegates elected in the Eighth dis
trict to-day, was elected as an avowed anti
Cleveland man. He is reported TO
be for Hill, but he is probably for Camp
bell. His law partner, w. H. Kinder, was
appointed State Commissioner of Insur-
ance by Governor Campbell. a. B. john
son, Zugsanworth's colleaguein the Eighth
district, is an avowed Hill man, being al
most abusive, before the convention, to
those who differed with him in this matter.
On the whole the result of the first two
Democratic district conventions is sur
prise TO the Cleveland Democrats.

be postponed until Friday before taking
further action. DR.. Buckley moved sub
stitute to postpone the consideration OF the
subject indefinitely and the report be print
ed in the church papers TO be re-
ported by the commission at the
next general conference. A great wrangle
then followed, in which several speakers
tried to get the floor. DR.. Buckley's mo-
ton, to indefinitely postpone the constitu-
tional question, was carried. DR.. kynetts
called for vote by orders, but il was not
granted by the Conference. The vote on
indefinite postponement of the whole OF the
subject Of the constitutional report stood as
follows: Ayes, 233; nays, 100. The result
was greeted by applause. The entire Con-
ference seemed to take deep breath OF re-
lief when this question had been thus dis
posed of.
Following is full text of the substitute
for the report of the constitutional commits
sion, which was adopted by the confer
ence:
"The section on the general conference
in the discipline of 1S0S, as adopted by the
General Conference of 1S0S, has the nature
and force Of d constitution. That section
together with such notifications as have
been adopted since that time in accordance
with the provisions for an amendment in
IudJ SOULFUL - lIC plCSChN olAN
is now included in paragraph 50 to "a in
elusive in the discipline of the Methodist
Episcopal Church Of 1S0S excepting:
''First-The change of the provisions for
the calling of an extra session Of the Gener-
al Conference from an unanimous to a two
thirds vote of the Annual Conference, and
"Second-That which is known as the
plan Of lay delegation as recommended by
the General Conference of 1868 and passed
by the General Conference Of 1872"
This is regarded as sort Of compromise
between those who hold that the plan of
lay representation is not part OF the con-
stitution and those who held that it was.
In reality it seems victory for the former,
with the admission on their part that the
principle of lay representation is in har-
mony with and supported by the constitu-
tion.
