Thieves GROW BOLD.
Mrs. Brad Held Up on the
Bridge by a Highway
man.
He Held a Gun to Her Head
and Demanded Her
Money.
Lively Time Expected in the
Council Tonight Over
Runge.
Windus Is Here--Rev. William
Wilkinson on GAM
bling.

The cold weather has brought the
of desperation. A young fellow last
night held up lady on the Fifth street
north bridge. He was hungry and des-
perate, and had the lady offered any re-
sistance or called for help he would
undoubtedly have killed her.
Mrs. Brad, who lives in the rear of
S14 Third avenue south, went to see her
mother, Mrs. A. Nancy, who resides at
619 Fifth street north. At $3.50 she left
the house and started on her way home.
When she reached the bridge she was
aoco3ted by young fellow, apparently
not over twenty years of age. He was a
hungry-looking Cassius, with hollow
eyes and revolver in his hand. He
placed hand upon the shoulder of
frightened Mrs. Brad and ordered her
to stop. Mrs. Brad, in tremulous
voice, asked the fellow what he wanted.
He replied that if she did not give all
her money he would shoot her.
~ haven't any money" said Mrs.
Brad
Oh you! I'll find out if you have
or not" said the footpad, at the same
time pushing revolver close to her
face and threatening to kill her if she
uttered word. He then subjected her
to the ndignity of being searched. Not
finding anything of value in her pockets
he forced her to stand quietly while he
delved into the receSses Of her small
garments. He had nothing but dis
appointment for bis pains for, as
luck would have it, Mrs. Brad had given
her money to her mother only few
moments before. She carried package
in her arms, and this, too, was subjected
to a rigid examination. Then the mis-
creant turned up the collar Of his dilap-
idated coat, and, calmly placing the re-
vOlver back in his pocket. informed
Mrs. Brad, with an oath, that she was
at liberty to pursue the even tenor of
her way. Almost faintIng from fright,
Mrs. Brad staggered across the bridge.
and when she came to the corner Of
Fourth street and Nicollet avenue she
met Officer Hasey and told him of what
had occurred.
Mrs. Brad says she could identify the
man under any circumstance, for the
lights on the bridge shone full in his
face. She has a brother employed at
the Bijou theater, Mike Brown, and
another at the Minnetonka meat mar
ket, James Brown. Officer Hasey noti-
lied the officers at police headquarters
of the occurrence, and sharp lookout
will be kept tor the daring fellow.

CLARKsoN's AsIN1NITY.
Senator Cullom Is Inclined to In
dorSe 1t.


dorse 1t.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Post to-
morrow will say: Senator Cullom was
shown the dispatch sent by Hon. j. S.
Clarkson to Representative Houck, of
Tennessee, characterizing the NOM
ination of Judge Jackson to the
supreme bench as betrayal of
Republican priniples and an aban-
donment of the helpless Republicans
of the South, and stating, that
a protest had been sent to the senator.
The Post then quotes Senator Cullom
as follows: THE protest sent me by
Mr.. Clarkson consists of a telegram
some fifty words in length. 1t is upon
the same general lines as the mes
sage to Representative Houck, but
is hardly so strong in Ian
guage. He makes no personal
charges against Mr.. Jackson, and does
not charge him with incapacity or dis
honesty, or anything of the kind. His
objection is that the nominee is Dem
Ocrat, and was clearly Identified With
the late Confederacy. l have not seen
Mr.. HOuck, nor do l know what action
will be taken.

anything about. | cannot say. L have

frank to say that consider the Jackson
appointment very unWiSe and in GER
tain sense unjust. The vacancy should
have been given to a clean and
able Republican lawyer, Of whom there
are plenty. Judge Leon A. Pardee is
a sample of the class. If the Democrats
of the senate had refused to permit con-
firmation. the responsibility would have
rested on them. | do not see why a
number of Southern Republicans
should have been passed over in favor
of a Democrat identified with the
rebellion. They have been dis
eliminated against, and | do not
think that l will ever feel any
doubt about it. AS to what

That it has not been offered him | am

MINNEAPOLIS ADJUSTMENTS.

The play at the Bijou this week is en-
titled Eagles Nest" with Edwin Ar
den in the leading role. The play is a
very fervid melodrama, and the two
large audiences That witnessed its pro-
duction yesterday literally howled
themselves hoarse over the exciting sit
uatlons and picturesque scenery. Ed
win Arden essayed the part of Jack
Trail, young and romantic California
miner, whose thrilling escapes from
narrowing positions outriyaled in their
intensity anything ever accomplished
by Old Sleutf, the detective. Mr.Arden
was a trihe too intense in his acting, so
intense in fact that at times his voice
could not be heard beyond the foot
lights. Frank Lossee and his clever
little wife, Marion Elmore, made their
appearance in the characters OF Robert
Blasedon, the william, and Sierra Sue, a
mountain girl. Mr. LosSee and his wife
are out of place in Eagles Nest" for
they are first-class opponents Of the
dramatic art. Harry Mack and Miss
Adelia Sawyer were good in their re-
spective parts. The play will undoubt-
edly prove drawing card, for it Is eX-
citing and we'll staged.
E. S. Willard Will be seen in his cele-
brated creation of Cyrus Blenkarn in
The Middleman'' at the Grand opera
house tonight.

Relief Association Kicks.

There is considerable dissatisfaction
among the members of the Firemen's
Relief association. They claim that
Chief Runge is inclined to discriminate
in favor of certain of his chums in
the department to the detriment
of the funds of the association.
Among the many cases cited by these
dissatisfied members is that of Nick
Steffes. 1t is said that when Steffes
was taken Ill he was sent to the Hot
Springs and was given $500 from the
relief association funds. he also drew
the specified $40 week allowed for

WILKINSON ON GAMBLING.
What the Rector of st. Andrews
Thinks OF Speculation.

What the Rector of st. Andrews
Thinks Of Speculation.
Yesterday the subject of discourse at
st. Andrews church was gambling.
Rev. William Wilkinson, the rector, said:
ut is most undoubtedly true that now
sermons of a soothing nature are in de-
mand in the churches; but sermons
which instruct, rebuke vice, warn from
sin, are the kind needed if the world is
to be made better by the preaching the
people hear. The Waterman, as we'll rs
the comforter, is to be desired in the
Office of pastor. He must stand Oh the
lookout, and when evil is at hand he
must declare it in words which awaken
conscience and bring new nerve to
moral rectitude. So it shall be made
vigorous and strong.
This mighty people stand face to
face with gIantand insidions evils, evils
which will not be pulled up and cast
out by mild words and hating deeds,
evils which threaten the very life Of
honest commerce, and which endanger
honest money invested for the good of
those who lend and those to whom it is
lent. Gambling is not confined to the
card table. 1t is there, and bad enough,
truly, for it has no mercy and appears
to know no remorSe. 1t will, and often
it does, take the last dollar the man who
loses has, and the money he has not,
| but which belongs TO his employers or
| friends. A man had better have a
plague in bis house than a card-playing,

MRS. wH1TNEY's DEATH.
1t Came at 3 O'Clock Yesterday
Morning.

New YORK, Feb. 5.-The death of
Her attending physicians pronounced
her condition critical in the extreme
last night, but they said there was
chance for her recovery. Her illness
was due to heart trouble. and fatal
change might come at any moment.
About midnight the family retired, but
towards 2 O'Clock the suffering woman
began to show alarming symptoms, and
the family was called. In the
house were her husband, her sis
ter, Mrs. Bingham, of Cleveland;
her brother, Oliver IL. Payne, who
has made his home with Mrs. Whitney,
her daughter, Pauline, her elder son,
Henry Payne, and her younger son,
William G. The physicians were hast
yOnd medical aid, and at 3 o'clock the
end came. Mis-. Whitney was born and
reared in Cleveland. o., where she lived
for many years with her aged father,
ex-senator Henry B. Payne, a brother
and sister, Mrs. William Bingham, who
lives next door to the home of the eX-
senator, in famous Euclid avenue.
Oliver II. Payne, her brother, has of re-
cent years made his home with the
Whitnevs. He it was who gave Mrs.
Whitney the house in which they lived,
and he has always been her fayorite in
the family.
The death of Mrs. Whitney awakened
widespread sympathy throughout the
country, and all day kilograms and mes
sages of coincidence were received by
the family. DR.. McBurnie said tonight
that Mrs. Whitney's death was due to
an affection of the heart of long
standing and which became pro-
nounced about month ago. For the
past ten days she has been confined to
her bed, but it was only during the last
five days of that time that her condition
was alarming. The funeral Will take
place at 10 o'clock Tuesday forenoon
from St. Bartholomew church, Madi-
son avenue.
Mrs. Whitney fully deserved the name
of a social leader. She was not sur
passed by any of the charmed circle
outside of which such an expert as
Ward McAllister holds there is no
society. Upon these occasions her

charming self-possession and the
rarer qualities of kindlineSS of spirit
and genuine no spitality. While her life
and name were to a remarkable degree
linked with political, official and fnan-
cial as well as social greatness. she
counted her friends in many classes,
and her undemonstrative generosity
won the gratitude of those who have
met her.

stupor, while a Mrs. Peterson and Ed
johnson and John Gunderson were
conducting themselves in a manner
that would have disgraced brothel.
They were all in state Of beastlY in

was the fact that there were five little
children present, who witnessed the
whole proceeding. One of these chill
dren was the offspring of Mrs. Hanson,
and the other four claimed Mrs. Peter
son for their mother.

requlsition papers. When Windns was
arrested a lawyer secured $50 from him,

tense that he could prevent the Mime
apolis authorities from taking him back

When the court turned the prisoner
over to Hoy the lawyer ran to the court
of sessions to secure habeas corpus pa
pers, but with the aid of the New York
detectives Hoy landed his man on the

Mrs. Windus and her child are in New

money. The wife desired to accompany
her husband back to the city, but she
had no money with which to purchase a
