A Cats Risky Ride.

Conductor Barnes had a passenger
without a ticket on a Baltimore and
Ohio accommodation train from Wash
ington recently. 1t was a small, sleek
cat of the masculine gender. 1t was
found in car at Beltsville station,
twenty miles from Baltimore, and in
conformity with the rules of the road,
was put off when the train came to a
stop. But pussy was refractory and de-
termined to get free ride.
As the train was starting it sprang
upon truck under one of the cars and
chung for dear life while the train reared
across trestles and swung around curves
Though the cars made a number of
stops. the cat still kept his seat, and
when the locomotive painted into Camden
station at 10 o'clock he was still there.
He made no effort to get away, and
Chief Detective Grammar, of the Balti-
more and Ohio, took him in charge and
will press him into the secret service of
the road, assigning him especially to de-
tect and arrest intruding rodents in the
detectives little 10 by office at Camden
station. Baltimore News.

OlAlo AMI 81 AOb-
largely of people from nearly every state
in the Union, and especially every New
England and middle state. These peo-
pie have kept their eyes on that gradu-
ally increasing list of delegates and al
ternates, and great many will receive
cordial invitation to be guests at pri-
vate homes. And they'll miss it if they
don't accept.
For the countless thousands who will
flock INTO Minneapolis for an opportuni-
ty to size up a national convention and
to witness the wonders of the twin cities,
the hundreds of lesser hotels and private
boarding houses will open wide their
doors. Then, too, the fair city of ST..
Paul sits upon its seven by nine hills
only half an hours ride from the conven-
iop hall
Thousands of visitors will be well en-
tertained in the sanity city, where are
several spacious caravansaries of the Al
order and an unlimited supply of modest
lNt meritorious houses of smaller dimen-
sions. The two cities are practically
one. They are connected by half a
dozen railways and by electric, cable and
horse cars. One may journey from the
heart of one city to the very center of
the other in less than half an hour.
No national convention ever met in a
more imposing or capacious editice than
the Minneapolis exposition building. 1t
will accommodate from 10000 to $4,000
people, and its acoustic properties are
perfect. There is no doubt about your
being able to hear the speeches if you
are fortunate enough to secure a seat in
the gallery. The accompanying illus
tration gives a very good idea of the hall
as viewed from the stage. Ample ac-
commodations have been provided for
the press, and the able pencil pushers
may be relied upon to give prompt, ac-
curate and complete reports of the pro
ceedings.
To the disappointed boomer whose
favorite shall have been defeated in the
convention the beautiful environments
of Minneapolis will offer sweet solace.
There is fair Minnehaha. made famous
in Longfellow's romantic poem of ''Hia-
watha." only four miles away. 1t is
situated in the midst of a beautiful
park which the state has reserved for
a soldiers home. 1t may be reached
by half dozen different routes. Only
a mile from Minnehaha is Fort SMELL
ing. an interesting spot. 1t is the old
est fort in the northwest and one of
the most picturesque in America. 1t is
on a high bluff at the junction of the
Minnesota and Mississippi rivers.
Only twenty minutes ride from Min
neapolis lies Minnetonka. the fairest,
freshest. most picturesque of all inland
lakes. It has fine hotels, fine yachting,
fishing and hunting. White Bear lake
is near st. Paul and will well repay a
visit. J. T. MANNIx.
