''Folk-LOre" was the subject of a talk
given last evening at High school hall
by William Wells Newell. editor of the
Journal of American Folklore, of
Cambridge, Mass. Mr.. Newell came
here from Chicago, and will remain in
the Northwest for a time. 1t is pos
Sible that local society may be formed
in this city. The purpose of organiza-
lions Of tliS kind is TO Derpetuate in
historical form the traditions of the
abOrigine5 or Old races. The similarity
between this society and the
academy OF science is that pc
cullar data and curiosities are
preserved. The difference is that the
academy OF science deals more in writ
ten history, whilst the Folklore peo-
pile collect tie intangible myths and
traditions with view TO their perpetu-
alton. The collections not only en-
brace those gathered among the North
American Indians. but from all the
peoples of the earth. Mr.. Newell is an
entertaining gentleman and is quite a
collector OF novelties ia his line.

1t seems to have been the decision on
the part of the weather clerk to permit
the river to go down again after a very
successful season. The river fell yes
terday distance of about two inches,
and it is expected that it will contin ue
to fall until the proper stage of water
reached. The fall Will be very
slow one. and it is impossible to say
when the normal level of the river will
be reached.
On the West side the condition of af-
fairs is the same as it has been for a
number OF days. The shanties on the
levee are partially submerged by water,
and the people are still living in quickly
constructed quarters. Boats furnish the
only mode of travelling from one ho use
to another. and the resident of the flats
is poor indeed ii he be not the owner Of
a boat. Hundreds Of people are without
homes, but they knew what to expect
when they moved TO the flats and built
their houses on the sands and mud of
the river banks. The present stage Of
water is excellent tor purposes of navl-
CATION, and the owners Of vessels are
anxious to see the high water continue
as long as possible.

Nearly every legislature which has
met in Minnesota since the first one, in
1858, has placed upon the statute book
some modification of or addition to those
first exemption and lien laws. An in
teresting article could readily be made
by tracing the changes of thirty-fve
years in those laws. The greatest
changes were, however, made from
1876 to 1878, when the general
lien and exemption laws were

the interest of the working classes.

FALL OF A BRIDGE SPAN

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Dec. 15.--A span ot

IL a. m.-The bridge was to be COM
pleted in a few days. The loss of life at
this time is estimated at from 25 to 10.

mangled humanity are lying in heap in
the river. Several thousand people line

boats near the spot of the disaster are
crowded. Heroic efforts are being made
at rescue.

to get him in the ring. would be willing
to stay IN Jail six months and train on
bread and water"
DO you believe that Mitchell will
come to time?" was asked Corbett.
FOR the honor of pugilists," replied
Sorbett. Il would like to believe the
Englishman honest; but Mitchell is such
a tricky fellow that am afraid he will
take advantage of every technicality to
avoid meeting with me. He wants to
keep the excitement up, however,
whether he intends to come to time or
not. Mitchell is out for the stuff and as
long as the excitement is kept up he can
get big money starring. If he does meet
me, it will only be after he has Z hausted
every excuse to avoid it."
Corbett is looking remarkably fit. He
says he weighs 1913 in his clothes and
191 stripped. He expects to get down
to IT'S or $50 by the time set for the con-
test.
