ADJUSTMENTS.

Joseph Haworth is not getting the
support in Minneapolis that the excel
.ence Of his performances should be
given. although the house at the Grand
lest night was fair one. "Ruy Blas''
was the bill. When Mr.. Haworth es-
says the character of Ruy Bias, "a
Iackey with the soul of king" he ex-
poses himself 10 comparison with the
two or three most subtle actors that
the stage has ever known. For such a
young man this is great risk.
That Mr.. Haworth takes the risk is
honorable to him as an ambitious man,
and that he comes off victorious should
be fiattering 10 his vanity, if he have
any: for he does both. In the stormier
scenes, especially in the last act, he is
powerful. Miss Kathryn Kidder. as
the prospective queen of Spain, and
Atkins Lawrence, as Don Salluste,
shared the hOnors of "Ruy Bias" with
the star. Gus Thomas "A Man of the
World" was put on as a curtain raiser.

The veterans of the Grand Army of
the Republic finished the state encamp-

Soldiers home and having a good time.
They left Minneapolis at o'clock in
the morning, most of them going by the
electric ears. The street railway COM
pany ran out several special cars at that
honr TO accommodate them. They were
met at Minnehaha by sleighs enough to
carry them over to the home. Com
mandant Mcmillan had everything
ready for them there. They were shown
all over the institution and had pointed
out the Improvements contemplated
by the board of trustees. The COM
mandant impressed upon them the ne
ceSsity for more accommodation so that
those of them who possess political in
tiuence may use it next winter in the
Interest of the home before the legis-
lature. The u. A. H. men were loud in
their praises Of the condition of the
home. After they had been shown
everything, the visitors were served
with lunch. They did not come back
to the city until late in the afternoon
Nearly all of the delegates left for their
homes last evening.
The ladies OF the Women's Relief
Corps got together again yesterday
morning to finish up the business of
their annual meeting. The first thing
done was to install the officers elected
the day before, that not having been
done at the camp fire, as announced.
Then they took up routine business and
finished everything by O'Clock. At
the close of the session resolutions were
adopted thanking the officers of the
corps, the newspapers and the people of

FUN AT COONEY ISLAND.
Julius Caesar Warren Causes a
Lively Time

Julius Cesar Warren. c. S. Taylor.
Jack Thompson and Richard Gilchrist,
all colored and residents of that classic
quarter near the corner of Third avenue
south and Washington. known as
Cooney Island. appeared in the police
court yesterday. the former charged
with assault and battery and the others
with dis0rderly conduct. Julius, it ap-
pears, engaged liz all alteration with
Dora Robinson in restaurant at an
early hour yesterday morning and
so far forgot himself as to
'sswing on her with his right"
The others, more chivalrouS
than he. took Dora's part, and a row
ensued. which demanded the attention
of the police. Taylor succeeded in con-
vincing the court that he had taken no
active part in the melee, and was dis
charged, but Thompson and Gilchrist
were fined $40 each and Warren $50.
Warren was also charged with having
stolen the sum of $3.50 from the person
of George w. Heath, and on this second
charge was bound over to the graud
jury. Warren is said by all who know
MN to be very bad man. He has spent

of their floating at par. If the 500, OOO,-
600 of surplus was gone and the govern
ment could not get along without bor-
rowing more money, he wanted the peO-
pie to place the responsibility where it
belonged.
Mr.. Harris said he was very reluctant
on bill like this to enter upon a gen
eral discussion of the financial condition
OF the treasury. Every year this bill
was postponed would increase the cost
OF 1t 30 to so per cent, because of the in
crease in the value OF the property.
MIR. Sherman'S amendment limiting
the time to twenty years, at the pleas
ure of the United States, was adopted,
and the discussion proceeded as to the
rate of interest. Mr.. Mcpherson ex-
pressed the opinion that if the rate was
fixed at 2 per cent it would stop the i'm
prOvement. Mr.. COckrell, OH the other
hand, cOntended that the advantages of
these bonds i'll absolute security and in
being exempt from taxation were so
great that If tlOated at 2 per cent in five
years they would be at par.
MIR. Harris explained that he was mis-
taken in saying the government paid
half these bonds. One-third was to be
paid by special taxation on the property
improved, one-third by the United
States and One-third by the district. He
admitted the cost would be some mill
ions.
Mr.. Sherman replied that there was
no fact within his knowledge which
would justify the assertion OF his friend,
Mr.. COckrell. that a 2 or ~ per cent
bond could be sold at par. He trusted
the rate of interest named in the bill
would remain unchanged. This bill
mad been pending off and on for ten
years, and every years delay had cost
the people more than the interest Oil the
whole cost.
Mr.Cockrell moved to reduce the inter-
est to 215 per cent. Missouri could
borrow money at per cent, and he felt
that the United States could get all the
money wanted at ~. Had he not lived
to see all the predictions of the distin-
guished secretary, now the distinguished
senator from Ohio, and of all the bank
ers with regard to the rate of interest.
falsified by the facts, lie might have
more confidence in their Judgment.
Mr.. George said he should vote
against the whole bill OIL the ground
that it proposed to tax the people of the
United States for the benefit of the
owners of suburban lots in the vicinity
of Washington. He was in favor OF strik-
ing out all this bond business and issu-
ing enough greenbacks to pay for the
work if it were to be done at all. Mr..
Kyle also supported the greenback
plank.
AT 4:45 the senate adjourned till Tues
day, with the bill still pending.

LISTEN, JUDGE SHAWL
Here Is Man Who Takes Issue
With You on Law.

With You OH Law.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The bore of gun is usually discov-
cred by the size of its wad. but its power
is determined by the mark at which it
shoots. This is not true of Judge Shaw.
He is an exception to the rule: other
wise the circumstance that he pays
upon The term "crime," which was used
in my article printed in local paper
Monday morning for "criminal slaw. -
would make that learned and astute
gentleman appear quite weak.
/ said in that 'screed"-a title which
the judge has made famous by giving to
almost everything controverting his
opinions there was no inhibition
which prevents the legislature from
abolishing all "crime" (meaning
criminal law within the limits
of the state, and the judge re-
plies to the error in the sentence. From
grammatical standpoint the mark was
easy to hit and extremely vulnerable.
and the judge aimed squarely at it.
L his was departure from the we'll
known usual inclination of the Judge to
avoid any species of pettifoggery i'm the
discussion of a legal proposition. l un-
derStand that no objection is
made to the correctness of
the proposition as amended by
my qualification of terms as above indi-
Gated. and that it is conceded that all
criminal law is created by the statute.
and subject to legislative control. Upon
this point, think, all lawyers. although
the term may include many in the esti-
nation OF the judge who are ONLY $50
called" will readily agree. l Under
stand. also, that the question of the
constitutionality of the ordinance is
abandoned, and the only legal ground
upon which its validity is now cues
toned Is based upon the proposition
tnat 1t is repugnant to the laws of the
state.
1t will doubtless appear presumptious
upon my part to take issue with Judge
Shaw upon this subject. His unerring
Judgment is so well established that
even few men in the profession who
have attained position beyond that
where they cease to stand as "so-called''
lawyers, rarely have the temerity to
question his conclusions. But | Shall
submit to the legal profession and
fair-minded men whether or not his
argument is not strained, if not spuri
Gus, and upon such may the Office of
1.-THE fool-killer" fall.
After quoting several provisions of
the charter and sections from the stat
ute and arguing therefrom, the Judge
says:
Now, upon the face of these express
provisions. it distinctly appears that the
method and mode of procedure for the
enforcement of ordinances
and the sole power and jurisdiction in
that matter is vested, not in the council,
but in the court, and when the council
undertakes to prescribe any method or
mode of procedure it is stepping beyond
inc legislative functions as given by the
charter, and infringing upon the judicial
functions of the municipal court"
The whole force of the argument is
contained III the above quotation. The
Iunctlons OF the council to make the
ordnance is admitted, but it is assumed
