IURLINE'S ANNUAL.
One Hundred Couples Enjoyed
the Pleasures Of the Dance.


the Pleasures OF the Dance.
Last night the muscles that have so
often showed the nose of boat across
the line ahead of all competitors were
exercised in graceful moving to the in
toXicatng strains of music. The Lur-
line Boat cluD gave its annual ball at the
West. About 100 couples answered the
invitations sent out by the club. The
Lurlines have given balls that were
more pretentious in point uf numbers
III attendance, but never have they in
Vlted their friends to a gathering that
better represented the high character of
the club. Not all the guests were from
Minneapolis. The best society of ST.
Paul contributed a contingent.
The main dining room was converted
into ballroom. The floor was in the
best possible condition for the merry
dancers, and the room was so decorated
that 1t seemed never to have been in
tended for anything but a ball room.
The ladies' ordinary served as a supper
room. and the refreshments provided
were III accordance with the we'll known
character Of Col. Vests house.
The dance programme included eight
cen numbers. The programme itself
was an artistic creation. and one that
will be treasured in many a boudoir. 1t
was printed in blue and old gold tints
and embellished with pen and INK
sketches Illustrative of the combination
OF two pleasures, boating and dancing.
: The music for the eighteen numbers
was discoursed by DanZ's orchestra.

WALKER MAY RESIGN,
But He Will Not Leave the Library
Board just Yet

For some time there has been In cir
culatiOn rumor to the effect that T. B..
Walker would resign the presidency of
the library board. Recently it was as
asserted with good deal of positiveness
that Mr.. Walker would present his res
ignation to the board at meet
ing this afternoon. Such action OH his
part is not probable. He may resign,
but he will not do it this afternoon. He
was asked last night if he contemplated
taking such step. He would not deny
that. All he would state positively was
that he had not decided to resign. He
has said that it might become necessary
for him to step out of the presidency
of the library board, the Business
Mems union or the Flour City
National bank. The duties of each po-
sition are so exacting that he is over
worked. He has not yet given up the
idea of letting one of these places go.
He will write no resignation now. The
business mems union will hold an an
nual meeting soon, and Mr.. Walker
may then refuse to accept a reelection.
That will Tighten his labors and satisfy
him that he may as we'll remain at the
head of the library board.

A WICKED OLD MAN.
Guilty of Making Bad Puns and
Snoring in Church.

IL ShuFCn.
More peculiarities of Schuyler Skaats,
over whose sSOO,OOO or so of property his
relatives are disputing before Surrogate
Ransom, came out i'll the testimony yes
terday, says the New York Sun. The
evidence so far has described him as a
man who had committed many verses to
memory, which he sung or recited I'M
solicited in company. He also kept a
diary for several years, noting every
few cents he expended, but leaving out
many of his large expenditures. Yes
terday it appeared that he was pun
ster, and snored in church.
Charles NJ. Weatherbee, proprietor of
the Buckingham hotel, where Skaats
lived for several years, testified yester-
day that Skaats was in the habit of
bringing sick cat wrapped up in a
shawl into the dining room. Skaats
repeated the same punS so often that it
became tiresome. In meeting the wit
ness in the morning he would say:
How is the Weatherbee?" When Mr..
Fuller, partner of the witness. was Ieav-
ing the dining room, Skaats would
say, 'are you any fuller than when you
went In?" This went on nine years.
Mrs. Susan r. Minor, seventy years
old, testified that Skaats was continu-
ally pun ming the four summers he spent
at Manchester, Vt. He attended the
Episcopal church, and made his re-
sponses to the service out Of season. He
would fall asleep, breathe heavily and

RIZZIO'.> .S..UOD.
Explosion of an Ancient Fake Con-
corning Mary Queen OF SCOTS

corning Mary Queen OF Scots.
A statue of Mary Queen of Scots has
been offered to the city of Edinburgh
by the countess of Caithness, having
been previously offered to and refused
by the municipality of Paris. Lady
Caithness thought that Mary Stuart, as
queen consort of France. had claim
to place IN the heart of the country
where all the brief happiness of her
sad life was enjoyed. But the
French have sent her image. as
they sent herself, to the Scoth SUP
jects whom she found so hard and so
cold. Perhaps even in Edinburgh her
statue will not be welcomed, for injus-
tice is still done often to her memory,
and the legend of the blood of Rizzio
at Hollywood has just revived such an
unjust prejudice. The tale has been
repeated In almost every newspaper
lately, as seriously and historically
true, that the blood of RizZio remained
on the boards on which it was shed at
Holyrood by the express orders Of
Queen Mary that she might remember
to avenge it. But who could believe
this who knows the simple truth of the
case?
Immediately after the death of Rizzio
mary was imprisoned In her apart
ments by the conSpiratOrs. But she
succeeded in showing Darnly his blum
der in Joining in a plot aimed at her
life and that of her child. Darnley was
faithless to his fellow conspirators, as
he had previously been to his wife, and
he aided in her escape from the palace.
This elopement together of the royal
couple kept Mary out of Hollywood for
week after the death OF RizziOs. ALI
the fresh traces of that murderwould
thus be cleared away long before the
queen was at Hollywood again. More
over, so far from being revengeful,
Mary failed in that rough, cruel age
because she had not the harshness 10
destroy proved traitors and unscrup-
ulous enemies when they were in her
power. Not one person was executed
for the outrage of the murder of RizZio
in the sovereign's presence; and ulti-
mately every one of the conspirators
engaged in this diSgraceful scene was
freely forgiven by Mary, excepting only
the trooper who had held a pistol
against her own side, and he was not
punished, but merely compelled to con-
tinue in Punishment. Yet i'm the face
of these facts the hasty newspaper
reader Of To-Day is led to suppose that
it is actual history that the blood of
Rizzio remained unwasbed to deliber-
ately nourish the revenge of his mis-
tress!
