There have been complaints coming in

MRS. w. $. HANCOCK.

News of the death of Mrs. Gen. HAN
COCK is received with sadness in st.
Paul, where she was in years past an
intimate acquaintance of many. Dur
ing the years that Gen. HANCOCK was
commander of the Department OF
Dakota ne and his lovely FAM
lily were conspicuous figures in
st. Paul society. His removal to a
higher command was a source of sOr-
row among the many here to whom they
had become endeared.
The last eighteen years of Mrs. HAN
COCKS life were marked with deep
affections. In 1875, year after the
transfer Of the general from St. Paul,
ADA ELIZABETH, beautiful and
accomplished young woman of eighteen,
and their only daughter, died. The
next sorrow came in the death of Mrs.
HANCoCK's mother, Mrs. RUSSELL, at
Governors island, in 1888. Less than a
year afterward their only son, RUSSELL
HANCOCK, died. Two years later the
general died, and Mrs. HANCOCK was
left alone to care for the three children
of her departed son.
Her death is the sad ending of once
happy family. She was an accomplished
and noble lady. who scattered sunshine
wherever she went. She bore the loss
of her children bravely, though the
sorrows told their tale upon her cOun-
tenance: but when she was deprived of
her husband, her heart broke. Her de-
cline from that time was rapid, and her
death was a kind release of ProYi-
dence from painful existence.
She was a strong, healthy and viva
cious woman before she yielded to the
weight of sorrow. Her untimely death
was due alone to a broken heart.

NIVE La MINNESOTA.

Pride must we'll up in the heart OF
every MinneSOtian as he learns that his
state takes fifth rank at the Columbian
exposition, the greatest in the history
of the world. The building of Illinois
naturally takes first rank. New York,
the most populous and wealthy state,
has a building second i'll size and I'M
portance. California, the Golden state,
has the third largest and most beautiful
building. Ohio'S structure stands fourth
in Importance. And then comes Mln-
nesota. Thus Minnesota is made more
imposing than Massachusetts. or any
New England state; more important
than PENNSYLVANIA, which Is one OF the
original thirteen states and is popularity
classed next to New York; more notice
able than Michigan, Indiana, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Nebraska or Kansas; more
attractive than Virginia, Kentucky,
Missouri, or any of the other important
states of the South.
1t Is in keeping with MinneSota's
splendid spirit of enterprise, and sign
of the time, not far away, when she Will
stand abreast with the foremost states
in commercial and general Importance.
Our great possibilities are just dawning
uDOn the masses. Our iron, copper and
lumber resources are greater than those
of any other state: as an agricultural
community we stand near the head, and
with an intelligent diversity OF farming
we will be unriTaled by any state; we
are developing industries at pace
which bids fair to give US front rank in
that direction. And all these things
are easily to be seen by our visitors.
Our exhibit at Jackson park will be
in keeping with the Importance of our
building. 1t seems too good to be true,
but it is true. that Minnesota will at
tract more attention among the vast
thrOng hailing from all parts of the
world than any of the great states ex-
cept the four standing above her. The
spirit of the state is to do nothing by
halves, and it is this that is winning the
day. Had we been content with an in
feror rank, the outlay would do us lit
tie or no good, and, however small, it
would be a burden. The present outlay
will return to the state benefits too
great to be estimated.

PATHETIC SUICIDE.
A Wife Shoots Herself Over Her
Husbands Dead Body.

New HAVEN, Conn. April 21.- Stand
ing over the body of her husband,
Frances Danyke Harris shot herself
through the heart yesterday. Her case
was a pathetic one. Eight months ago
Yesterday, Miss Danyke, a beautiful
society woman of Brooklyn, became
Mrs. Oscar Harris, and the couple, after
a short honeymoon. removed to this
city, where the husband became the
manager of Snow, Church & Co.'S COM
mercial agency. A fortnight ago Mr..
Harris was attacked by an illness which
at once assumed serious phase. Phys
icians determined that the only hope of
saving his life was by recourse to the
operation of laparOtomy. His young
wife was made acquainted with the
desperate nature of the operation.
''Do the best you can for him." she
said, "for if he dies. l shall die, too: for
l believe were our positions transposed
he would dothe same for me-"
Early Wednesday. despite the efforts
of his physicians. Harris died. His
wife was nearly crazed with grief.
Friends and relatives tried in vain 20
comfort her, but all their efforts were
futile. Yesterday the servant went into
the kitchen, and while the others in the
house were in another room they were
startled to hear pistol shot. They ran
to the room in which they had left Mrs.
Harris. Blood was flowing from
wound in her breast. She was breath
ing slightly, and messengers were dis
patched for physicians. Before they
could have reached any doctors office,
however, Mrs. Harris was dead. Mrs.
Harris was twenty-nine years old, and
her husband thirty. The double funeral
of the unfortunate couple will probably
ue held on Saturday.

HAIL AND FAREWELL.

The services tomorrow at the Peoples
church memorial to the late Hon. L. Nj.
NEWsON will be hitting testimonial of
the general esteem. Maj. NEwsoN was
one of the most prominent founders of
Minnesota journalism. led in the Organi-
zation of the Republican party in the
Northwest, was soldier in the war of
the rebellion, and through all his forty
years in this locality held many impor-
tant positions of honor and trust. main-
tanned a clean record, and dealt fairly
with friend and foe. People far and
near welcome this opportunity to do
honor to the departed. Many of his as
sociates of early days live in remote
parts of the United States; most of these
will be present. In his latter years he
was blessed with friends everywhere in
the state who were not early settlers.
Not many of these who are able to come
will be absent. 1t will be one of the
largest farewell events ever held in the
state. The display will be only of genu-
inc sorrow, and the many tributes which
will be paid to his memory will be sad
reminders that the sturdy pioneers who
made the state what it is are rapidly
passing away,

A PREMIUM ON FRAUD.

The latest quotation of silver bullion
is SS14 cents fine ounce of 4S0 grains,
which makes the fine metal in our sill
yer dollar worth GAS cents, leaving the
remaining S53S cents in the rather pre-
carious care indicated by the legend the
coin hypocritically f1auntS.
If citizen of this country, trusting
in the legend and the power of his gov

that these coins are real dollars. should
attempt to defray the expense of the
grand tour with the dollars of the
daddieS, he would get, in their disdain-
full rejection or their heavy discount
abroad, double lesson, one in the lin

nature Of money. He would find that
this great government is perpetrating
OH its citizens gross fraud in certify

coin has a dollars value in it. and in
compelling its citizens who are credit
Ors to take in payment of their dues at
one hundred cents a dollar worth but
siXty-fOur cents.
But the United States is not only not
content with committing this fraud on

PERSONS AND SCiDENTS

1t was very simple matter during
last evenings performance to locate the
exact position in the audience of the
parents of each particular young lady
taking part in the different dances.
Unconsciously the glances of the fair
dancers would again and again seek out
certain persons in the audience, who
would be favored by such smiles as are
intended only for mamma and papa.
One of the many charming features of
the evening was the bombardment Of
the audience with snowballS by the
young ladies representing winter at the
close of their dance. The Minnesota
climate is just now very favorable for
the introduction of the SNOWFALL feat
ure.
John S. Prince Jr. succeeded in very
effectually disgusting himself in the In
dian dance, but his host of admirers
had no difficulty in recognizing him last
evening. Mr. Prince held down the left
wing of the horupipe in most approved
marine style.
Ed Tarbox will develop into full
tledged impressariO before the close of
the Kirmess. Was it customary for
Dutch peasantry to indulge in blue
satin ribbons to fasten their two-franc
wooden shoes to their feet? Can any
one tell?
Miss Margaret Hall captured the audi
ence completely IN La Cachuco. Miss
Hall was the ideal Spanish senorita, and
rendered the charming dance with such
dashing grace as surprised even her
most intimate friends.
The drilling of the young ladies rep
reSenting the United States of America
in the finale was exceedingly we'll done,
and their wheeling on a center pivot
brought down the house.
Col. IL. P. Rugg and j. w. Blabon for
once were seen occupying seats good
many rows from the stage. Quite an
unusual thing for two such inveterate
theater-goers.
Mr.. Kuhn, of Saltwater, repeated his
success of the previous evening as the
Lone Fisherman, and. as OH Thursday,
received several encoreS.
Rus Munger was heard to say that
last nights entertainment surpassed
anything ever before held in st. Paul.
He came here in '57, you know.

fort. who had distinguished her
self in the court dance. appeared
to the greatest possible advantage
and danced with vim and energy de-
noting the deepest interest and a COM
plete abstraction in her work. Her eyes
sparkled like diamonds. and her face
was covered with rosy Hush which
made her look the incarnation OF lowell
ness. Down her back fell her golden
hair in Snimmering treSSeS like shower
OF silken sheen. Her dancing attracted
the attention of every person in the
audience.
The next number on the programme
was the song and dance by number OF
young men, a portion OF whom were
dressed in female costume. They sang
well and danced with precision. They
answered the demanded encore bv rem
dering two numbers with their banJos
and guitars. After an excellent eXhl-
bition of tumbling and cOntortiOnS by
Robert McLaren, Harry Davis danced
very acceptable clog, and received
Well-earued encore, to which he re-
SpOnded. The curtain then went down,
and quickly came up on the dance or
the seasons. First came the mldShlp-
men as spring, then bevy of beautiful
girls came out decorated with roses TO
represent summer. followed by four
ladies who gave the Mexican dance.
Those who represented winter made
great impression in their costumes OF
white and their baskets filled with snow
balls made of cotton with which they
pelted the audience. The fishers horn
pipe was well danced, and MIR. Sanford
sang Sea-faring solo which brought
out a forcible reminder of the ocean
waves. Louis Kuhn then repeated his
performance as the lone fisherman, and
brought down the house with his gro
teSQue dancing and acting.
The grand finale then followed.
There was pretty dance by number
of young ladies dressed as COlumOias.
and Miss Katherine Gordon sang the
national air IN very pleasing manner.
Her voice 1illed the theater, and 1t was
one of the most pleasant portions of the
programme. Il tableau, in which all
participated, ended the entertainment
of the evening.
The programme for this afternoon
will be the same as the one given FRI
day evening. The programme for the
evening will be the same as was given
last night. 1t is expected that there
will he a large attendance at the matt
nee and this evening.

terfeiting of the coin of the realm is
serious crime, punished on conviction
by a long term of Imprisonment. Under
normal conditions counterfeitlng Is
broadly the making of an imitation OF
coin out of some cheaper metal. But
under our present abnormal conditions
it is, as the GLOBE has shown hereto
fore, possible for a counterfeiter TO
make better, a relatively more honest
dollar, than the government coins. and
still be criminal. He can take seventy
cents worth of fine silver, add the alloy,
and make il into dollar which will be
worth five cents more than the mint dol
lar, and clear thirty cents profit. He
can make exactly as good a dollar
and make thirty-five cents profit. In
other words, the present coinage policy
offers premium of so per cent to the
counterfeiter who will make just as
valuable and good silver dollar as the
government turns out.

OMAHA, Neb.. April 2l.-The Feder-

ers and pattern makers, who struck last
Monday on the Union Pacific system,
met this afternoon at the railroad head
quarters to arbitrate in the differences,
at the suggestion of the officials. Cen
eral Manager Dickinson and Superin-
tendent of Motive Power Mcconnell
represented the company. A PROPOSE
ton was made by the company to give
their employees who had served
their time standard wages, pro-
vided they were competent to do
the regular labor. This was better than
the strikers asked, and was the subject
of much favorable comment. The main
point upon which the strike hinged will
be IN all probability amicably settled
tomorrow. This relates in particular to
the hiring of new men when the force
is working on the eight-hour day sys-

have been put at work in Kansas City,

on Their Cheeks.

rageous hazing performance of the stu

longing to the university. caught
the hazing spirit and fell upon
some of their sister schoOlmates.
About twenty young women, on the
same evening the boys suffered, got a

their hall. This occurrence, coupled
with the outrage of the male students.
has added fuel to the excitement. Some
of the students last evening set one of
the frame buildings on the college
campus on fire and it was entirely con-
sumed.
The fact has developed that the stu
dents who did the branding to the boys
were not sophomores, but all aggrega-
ton of sluggers, selected from the lower
classes. One of the number is not a
student at all. having graduated last
year. All are members of the ID. D. A,
