Lowry.
The trades and labor assembly assem-
bled last night, and although it transacted
the usual amount of routine business,
found time incidentally to administer to
Thomas Lowry roast which as an eX-
preston of disapproval rather exceeds
any previous effort of this very censori-
Gus and critical body. The resolution
in full is as follows:
Whereas, One notorious Individual. Thorn
as Lowry by name, has, through chicanery
and fraud. obtained possession of MiuneapO-
lis and st. Paul public property in the shape
of street railway franchises to the value of
upwards of SO 900, for which the cities
have never received one cent; and
Whereas. Through the instrumentality of
certain silent partners of SAID Thomas
Lowry number OF well known citizens Of
Minneapolis and St. Paul were persuaded to
participate in so-cal!ed com plim entarv ban
Quet TO said Thomas Lowry; and, whereas
the speeches at the said banquet were mainly
devoted TO absurd and ridiculcusIy extrava-

successful efforts 10 swindle the peopie of

sembly warns the people of Minnes polls and

opinion that will look more favorably on the
wrongs and robberies which Thomas Lowry
and his partners have committed upon the
people of these cities, and

WANTS A DIVORCE,
Unhappy Result Of a Mans Mar
riage With a Woman His Senior.

Adelia Douney, fifty-six years of age,
asked for divorce from Edward Dou-
ney. fifty-fye years of age. They were
married at Palmira, Wis, May 2, 1871,
and have one child. son. The COM
plant charges that the defendant has a
violent and ungovernable temper, and
has exercised it upon the plaintiff for
the past fifteen years. For the past five
years he has been very violent. On
several occasions he has struck and
kicked her, thrown her over chairs, and
destroyed other furniture with her. In
December, 1890, he threw lighted ker-
osene lamp upon her bed while she was
occupying il, and threatened to kill her.
She also asks for alimOny, alleging
that he has property valued at several
thousands of dollars. All she has, she
says, is five shares of stock in the First
National bank.

Richard Huntington, the old saloon

he says his assets ara $4,000. and his
liabilities $4,000. This misfortune was
caused by his being in too much of

ing the year, and are the only additions
to the printed catalogue.
Last year. in his report, Mr.. Putnam
called attention to the need of card
catalogue, TO the desirabiIity of estab-
fishing delivery stations, to the enlarge
ment Of the branch libraries into indie
pendent circulating libraries and to the
value Of systematic cooperation with
the public schools. He aliudes to those
points again this year. The branches
are growing rapidly to the desired
prominence: the work in conjunction
with the school has been advanced; the
board may be able to establish the de-
livery stations some time this year at
little expense; the card catalogue is not
up to date. The library has only a
brief and not always accurate author
catalogue of the books up to Jan. l,
1890. The present working force
is not sufficient to accomplish
more than a fraction of the work
of compiling an author catalogue.
MIR. Putnam recommends that the
catalogue by title-entries should begin
at once, and that the catalogue by SUBJ
ject should be taken up as soon as pos
sible. The finding lists have been kept
up well by means of bulletins. He
thinks that any printing Of a catalogue
ObucI IHdH I!lc bulletins 10 the nIlQlLg
lists at present would be useless ex-
travagance. as the library would out
grow it so soon.
Tie financial report of the librarian
shows that the receipts from all
sources, including the amount on hand
Jan. 1, 1892, was S2.47f.53. OF this
S212.20 was refunded to depositors, and
S2,090.S2 expended. The cash balance
Oh hand Jan. was S141.S1.
All the other business that came be-
fore the board was Of routine nature,
being confined to the clearing up of the

EVERYTHING BACKWARDS.


Some OF tho Queer Customs OF tho Queer
Chinese.
The Chinese do rything back
wards. Their compass points TO the
South instead OF the North. The men
wear skirts and the women trousers;
while the men wear their hair long,
the women coil theirs in knot The
dressmakcrs arc men; the women carry
burdens. The spoken language is not
written and the written language is
not spoken.
Books are read backwards and any
notes are inserted at the top. White
is used for mourning and bridesmaids
wear black--instcad OF being maidens
these functionaries are old women.
The Chinese surname comes first and
they shake their own hands instead
of the hands of one whom they would
greet. Vessels are launched sideways
and horses are mounted from the of
side. They begin their dinner with
dessert and end up with soup and fish.
In shaving, the barber operates on
the head, cutting the hair upwards,
then downwards, and then polishcs it
off with small knife. which is passed
over the eyebrows and into the nose to
remove any superhuous hairs, and the
performance IS completed by removing
the wax from the ears with q bit of
cotton wool on wire.
