Nearly Fatal Curiosity.

'My curiosity once came near being

was at Halifax, N. S., in the spring of
1878, and one day gigantic iceberg was
sighted. 1T was only about nine miles
out, but determined to have closer
view. A daredevil young Irish doctor
and myself hired q schooner and set
out. There was little wind, and the sea
was exceptionally calm for that latitude.
We approached within half mile of the
monster, the captain wisely declining
to 90 closer.

desire to get on the iceberg and eXam-

'The berg slanted down on one side

OF the crew to row US to it. We
climbed all over it with the exception
of monster Ice hill in the center that
was like perpendicular wall of glass

proving about the wind increased, our
beatmen became frightened and put
back to the Ship. The great mass of
ice was surrounded by an atmosphere Of
intense cold, and we were already
chilled to the bone. We tried to per-
suade the boatmen to come back, but
they positively refused to do so. The
schooner put back to port, and we were
apparently left to our fate. We looked
at each other.

"Christian Discipleship," saying, among

Christ was positive in his convic-

sistently defended i'll the New Tesla

not gloom; life, and not death.

church has often shown imperfection
in its ministry and members, but the
proportion of bad to good is no greater
than in Christ's day, of one Judas to
loving. The church rests upon the
Bible, foundation of the apostles and
prophets, Christ Himself being the
chief corner stone. Not until soothing

PLACING THE ORCHESTRA.

Wind instruments of Wood and
Brass Directly in Front of the
Leader.
The orchestra is now arranged so that
the wind instruments Of wood and brass,
with pulsati.e instruments, form solid
body directly in front of the leader. The
strings stretch to the left and the right,
and the double BASES divided fringe
the back of the stage and its further
sides. The grouping is commended by
the Boston Journal. 1t was Thought in
the eighteenth century that the
double BASES, 'cellos and bassoons
should be dispersed throughout
the orchestra. AS Rosseau quantity
expressed it. sit is the bass that should
regulate and sustain all the other parts.
and all the players should hear it
equally" We know how the celebrated
orchestra OF the Dresden opera. under
Hesse, was arranged. The conductor
was in the middle of the rallied space,
seated before clavier. Behind him
was violoncello, as we'll as a double
bass. The first violins were at his right
hand in line. The second violins were
on the same side. but nearer the stage.
The other 'celloS and double bdsSeS were
at Tile eXlTCiHc eHuS. ne NlOldS WeIC
between the first and second viollns.
All of the wind instruments, with the
exception of the trumpets, We're on the
lett of the conductor. The oboes were
nearest the stage, and the bassoonS
were close to the conductor. The drums
and the trumpets were Oh the raised
platforms at the sides.
The famous chorus and orchestra OF
the Paris conservatory ara arranged as
follows: Sixteen first sopranos and six
teen second sopranos are at the left OF
the conductor. AT his right are ten
first tenors and ten second tenOrS. Di-
rectly in front Of him are ten first basSeS
and ten second basses. TO the left of
the bases, as the nearer faces the stage,
are fifteen first violinS; to the right
fourteen second violins. The first and
the second violinS face each other. Be-
hind the basses is the harp. Then come
ten vi0las facing the conductor. The
next line is made up OF two clarionets,
two oboes, two flutes, piccolo. TWO
'cellos and two double basses. Behind
this line are four horns, four bassoon 8
ami four 'cellOs. Behind them are two
trumpetS, three double BASES, four
'cellos and two double BASES. Three
trombones and two double BASES are
next in order, and the tuba and pulSa.
tile instruments bring up the rear.

L. N. Tyler. Of Butte, Disap-

Stained Coat Found.
F. Chapman's Arrest for Forg-

Broken Neck.
A Sermon by Rev. Wilkinson
on a Very Interesting
Subject
News Of Sunday Gathered by
Vigilant Reporters Of
the Globe.

It seems to be the fashion now for
men to disappear mysteriously. The
latest disappearance is that of l.. n.
Tyler, formerly of this city, but recently
of Butte, Mont. where he was employed
as timekeeper in the big Anaconda
mine. About week ago Tyler came to
st. Paul to visit a friend. Aleck Shearon.
of 276 Charles street. Wednesday
last he came to this city, ostensibly
to visit North Town Junction
with a view of purchasing a little
property in the vicinity. 1t was Iylers
intention to get married within the
month to young lady of Mount YER
non, Ill. He wanted to purchase a lot
near the junction and build house on
it in the spring.
TYLER has not been seen since the day
he came over here from st. Paul, nor
has any word been received from him
by Mr.. Shearon. Saturday the latter
came to Minneapolis to make inquiries
of his friends. He said he was sure
some harm had befallen him, for he was
not drinking man, and he could have
no object in remaining away so long:
Mr.. Shearon said Tyler had several
hundred dollars with him when he came
to the city.
Yesterday afternoon number of
boys who were playing in the vicinity
of the junction found an oVercoat lying
behind pile of railroad ties. The coat
was covered with blood, and there were
several long rents in it, apparently
made with knife or some other sharp
instrument. Around each Of these
rents was clotted blood. The boys
brought the coat to the police head
quarters and turned it Overto Inspector
James Doyle. The coat tallies with the
description of the coat worn by Tyler
when he came to this city. The case IS
a mysterious one and will bear investi-
cation. Tyler was at one time in the
employ of the Washburn Milling COM
panV.

MINNEAPOLIS.
SATURDAY MORNINGS GHOST.

The residents out on the Cedar lake
road, in the Oak lake section, and at in
tervals all the way down Western and
Hennepin avenues the people are ex-
cited over the appearance of ghost.
The story of this white-robed wrath
came to the ears of a GLOBE reporter
yesterday, and it was story COM
bining elements SO different from
those of the accepted and approved
ghost stories that he investigated.
This ghost, for instance. did not cOnfine
his peregrinations to the hours before
cock-crow, but was seen galliyanting
around in the gray of early dawn. And
he was always seen going in one direc-
ton, down toward Bridge square, never
deviating from his ghostly way. His
ghostship evidently had something on
his mind-some unfuliilled task to
perform. A good many people told
the GLOBE man yesterday that they had
seen this wanderer from another sphere
at various times. They were certain of
but one date, however. That was last
Saturday morning. On this clue the re-
porter worked and found this solution:
The ghost was Ed Potter in his

Saturday morning to sign that transfer

An Abuse of Books.

HdrNbTu auNOcdle.
Learning isa very valuable thing, and
its display on some occasions may be
ornamental and suitable, but on most it
is neither called for nor desired. Espe-
ciallY obnoXlaus is that conceited spirit
which vents itself upon the unfortunate
pages OF library books. Empty-pated
upstairs in the world of learning find
the greatest satisfaction in scrawling
their impudent comments where every
reader who follows cannot fail to notice
them. The injustice which they do to
the author OF the book Is really afro
cious.
Suppose on page one sees no more
than a line drawn along paragraph
which has excited this impudent's at
tention; whether you will or no, and
worse. whether the author wills or no,
your attention is perforce likewise
called to that place, and you must give
it more than ordinary notice. But the
evil eXclteS the height of ones indigna-
ton when our literary numskull thinks
fit to state his opinion upon or add his
commentary to the words of the writer:
then truly one would be Justified in ris-
ing in ones wrath and scattering the
flimSy matter of his brains to the four
winds of heaven.
Come, brother students, let us tax e
this matter in hand. 1t has really be-
come serious. for hardly a book does
one take up that the scrbbling fool has
not attacked! If we wish to comment.
we courteous ones, we buy our own
books, and give the rest of the world its
right to the authors. and the authors a
right to the rest of the world; we do not
deface property which is not our own.
So, let us demand OF the impudents the
right which we respect; let us first rub
away their wretched work, and after
wards so condemn its creation that they
shall not dare to face our storm. A little
blast of public opinion will uproot them
these mushrooms have no very deep
root.

pant of national office of profit and
prominence. has been turned down for
a purely local appointiye office. Such,
however. is the fact.
Col. Charlie had an eye on the city
clerkship so ably filled by Charles F.
Haney. His desires were so completely
crushed out of him, and so soon after
they arose, that few even learned what
was In Charles mind.
Within very few days after NOV. 8
it was evident to Col. Charlie that he
void not succeed himself as clerk OF the
United States senate. He Immediately
bethOught him that the clerkship OF
Minneapolis is not a bad thing finan-
cially. Col. Charlie is pre-eminently
of the city clerkship being about his
size than he proceeded to lay
wires for it. He interviewed some
Of the hold over aldermen.
They would have none OF him.
He saw some Of the newly elected.
They would have little of him. A few
days and few inquiries sufficed to
demonstrate to Col. Charlie that he
would not be the next city clerk, so his
efforts in that direction ceased.
Some of the Minneapolis Republicans
who are unkindly disposed to Charlie
ascribe variety of reasons for his visit
full glances toward the city clerk
ship. First and foremost comes
the reason already mentioned
the certainty that Col. Charlie
will not be his own successor as clerk
of the United States senate. He will
cease to be federal offceholder on the
4th Of March, 1893. Col. Charlie is no
idler. He must work and prefers
serving the people liz public capacity,
and at public expense. to serving Sor-
did, baser interests. in private ca
pacity. Col. Charlie would have to
swallow a good deal Of pride and dig
United States senate to clerk of the
Minneapolis city council, but
he would have done it in
the interest of the people.
Then, the salary of the city clerk is not
to be Sneezed at by man out of Job:
Col. Charlie was very active in the local
campaign. He was, in fact, one OF John
Goodnow's ablest aides-de-camp. He
saw,an opportunity to be of further as
siStance to his party from an office ID
the city hall. His political acumen
would, he thought, be Invaluable to the
incoming administration. He could also
put the business OF the city Oh more
dignified plane, la United States SEN
atOr.
1t is uncharitably limited further that
personal pique toward Haney intu-
enced Col. Charlie - pique resulting
from the Republican national cOnven-
ton. Col. Charlie was secretary of
that gathering, and Haney was
one of the assistants. Col. Char
lies wonderful voice had NDeen
written about and talked about all
over the Northwest. When the time
came for him to distinguish himself in
the convention his voice Tilted him and
he was eXtinguisled. Haney had to be
called upon to do most of the reading.
Some of these reasons, possibly all of
them. influenced Col. Charlie to make
canvass for the city clerkship. Ii is too
bad that his canvass produced nothing
but modification for Col Charlie.

How to Prevent and Suppress the
Dread Typhoid.

How to Prevent and Suppress the
Dread Typhoid.
SO many cases of typhoid fever have
come under the notice of the health de-
partment that Commissioner Kelly has
deemed it advisable to issue a pamphlet
containing set of rules and regula-
lions for the prevention and suppress
ion of the dread disease. The rules
set forth that when a case of
typhoid fever is known to exist in
neighborhood it must be at once re-
ported to the health department If the
case exists in a severed neighborhood,
every householder whose premises con-
meet with the sewer in common with the
infected house should have thorough
inspection made of the drainage of his
own premises.
.ScrupulouS cleanliness in every por-
tfon of the house must be enforced, and
all surface drains, OuthouSeS, ETC., must
be thoroughly disinfected. The rules
give explicit directions for the dsinfect-
ing of everything pertaining to the
house, also in detail the manner in
which the patient shoulk be treated and
the sick room conducted. Recipes for
dislnfectlng fluids are given, and direc-
tionS for their proper use follow. For
general use the pamphlet says the best
disinfectantS are: Sunshine, fresh
air, soap and water. and thorough
cleanliness"
