sOLLY THE ATTRACTION.
Fine Entertainment Before the
Twin City Club.

Fine Entertainment Before the
Twin City Club.
A large crowd of lovers of athletics
gathered at the Twin City Athletic club
last evening to enjoy an evenings exhl-
biton of true manly art. The crowd
represented the best class of gentlemen
interested in sport of the city, and the
order was of the best. All traces of
slugging were eliminated from the
events, the men simply putting up first
class sparIing rounds for points.
A four-round contest between Frank
Shepley, the Montana lightweight.
and Morris Self, instructor of the
Phoenix Athletic club, ST. Paul, proved,
next to the contest between the Smith
brothers. the most interesting event OF
the evening. Both were good natured
about their sparring, but put up four
rafting rounds, drawing frequent
laughter and applause from the audience
by their antics and clever work. The
appearance of the Smith brothers was
greeted with applause from the gather
ing. S0lly was, of course, the center OF
attraction, and his work was watched
with good deal OF interest.
His brother was the heavier, but, despite
this fact, he held his own by fine head
work. Solly proved to be good gem
eral in battle, never showing punish
ment, and commanding respect from his
opponent by an upper cut that rarely
failed to score a point. His hitting
proved rapid and strong. His fight
ing was also a prominent feature, but
he proved little careless at times in
getting away. All in all the exhibition
proved entirely satisfactory to all Wit
nesses, and proves that frst-cIaSs sport
of the right kind is winner in this
city,

HER NERVE FAILED.
Alice Grove, a Dependent Young
Woman, Desires Death.

A large crowd cOngregated on the
steel arch bridge, during theinoon hour
Yesterday, attracted the attention of
Officer B. w. Bacon. Making his way
through he found the center of attrac-
ton was a young woman who evidently
was bent on throwing herself into the
muddy waters of the swollen river. She
weDt, wrung her hands, looked long
ingly on the waters, and then, nerving
herself to make the plunge, would
climb up on the railing to throw herself
over. Her nerve failed, however, and
she fell backward, only to repeat the
performance. No attempt was made
by the men who stood around to re-
strain the poor woman from seeking
Self-deStructi0n.
Officer Bacon took charge Of the
woman and conducted her to The lock-
up. Here she gave the name OF Allie
Grove. and admitted that she was de-
spondent because she had been desert
ed by her lover, who had been smltten
with another woman.
The woman, who is believed to be
Minnie Himan, under which name she
is registered on the blotter, was sub
sequently fined SO on conviction OF
drunkenness.

occurred on the reports of the paving

port of Aid. Schwartz, the bid OF > Il.

awarded in pursuance thereof, Ihere
was considerable opposition and a orlef
skirmish on the report on granite curO

also the lowest, but it was two cents
higher than the assessment. This would
have necessitated Reimbursement, but

and offered to do the work for the as

CAN HOLD FOR LIFE.
No FOupth-Class PostmaSters
Will Be Removed Except
for Cause.
Prediction That This Rule
Will Be Changed When
Congress Meets.
Comparison Of Presidential
Postmasters Appointed by
Two Administrations.
Postponement Of the Reas-
sembling Of the Monetary
Conference.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Under rul
ing made by Postmaster General Bissell
today there is nothing to prevent a
fourth class postmaster remaining in
office as long as he lives. The office
cannot be handed down by will to pos
terity, but that little addition may be
made later on to please the mugwumps.
AS is we'll known, fourth class post
masters are commissioned for no stated
time, but up to the present date the
policy of the administration has been
understood to be that four years would
be considered a term, as it is in the
higher grade Offices, and that removals
would be made in all such
cases as soon as the Demo
Gratis presented a candidate for
the place. But this was all knocked out
today when Gen. Bissell announced
that no removals will be made except
for cause. There is no question that the
fourth assistant postmaster general,
Maxwell, does not believe in this policy,
and until he was called down by higher
authorities he swung the ak quite mer-
rily. Since then few removals have been
made, and vacancies created by death
and designations have been about the
only ones filled. Thus far only about
one-fourth as many removals in this
class have been made as were made in
the same time four and eight years ago.
Democratic congressman are predicting
that this rule will be changed before
congress is in session many days next
fall. This explains why so few remov-
ais have been made in Minnesota. Con-
gressmen Hall and Baldwin have
worked hard enough to secure changes,
but their work has not availed.
A Comparison.
A statement has been prepared from
the records of the postoffice department
showing the number of presidential
postmasters appointed during the first
two months of the present adminiStra-
ton, and also the number appointed
during the corresponding period in Mr..
HarriSon's administration. The state
ment shows that during the last two
months 155 presidential pOStmaSterS
have been appointed, as against 264 ap-
pointed during the corresponding period
in Mr.. Harrson's administration. Va
cancies, to fill which appointments were
made, occurred during the two periods
as follows:

The Waters of the River SLOWLY

The river was rising at all points

themselves with hitching back as fast as

should receive the attention of the prop
er authorities, in view of the possibili-
ties which the reports from high up

some very disagreeable questions OF

one of the attorneys has another case

the meantime Witness Shafer. about
whom so much trouble has been raised,
will be obliged to remain in the county
Jail, where he now is in custody, anx-

MONETARY CONFERENCE.
1t Will Not Reassemble Until il
NOVGmDer

WASHINGTON. May 5.-The interna-
tional monetary conference which adj
iourned to meet in Brussels on the 3Oth
inst, will not reassemble on that date.
A general feeling was expressed by rep
resentatives of the leading powers that
the end of May was not suitable time
for recommending the labors Of the con-
ference, and as the result of a consulta-
ton held between the president, Secre
tary Gresham and some Of the
delegates of the United States
today, it was determined to
cable the announcement that the
reassembling of the conference would
be postponed until some time next No
vember. Gov. McCreary, of Kentucky,
who is in the city and who, as we'll as
well as Senator Jones, of Nevada, will
continue to serve upon the commission,
expresses much qualification at tie
change Of date and believes it will in
crease the prospects of the conference
accomplishing some solid results.

Second Certificates to Be
Used in Smuggling in
More Heather.
The Six Companies Thought
to Have Engineered the
Scheme.
A Suit to Test the Law to Be
Begun in Gotham
Today.

DENVER. May 4.-Internal Revenue
Collector Freeman has discovered
huge fraud III the registration of the
Chinese in this district. For several
weeks past numbers of Cinnamon have
succeeded in registering second time,
the only difference in the description so
far as discovered being in their place of
residence, but as many of the names
sound pretty nearly alike nothing GER
tain was discovered until today, when
a bright young Chinaman informed Mr..
Freeman that they were sending their
certificates to China with the view
of smuggling the heather into
the country. Just how many
have gotten second certificate IS
not known, but it is thought by Inspect
or Freemrn that about 200 have done so.
1t is thought by the United States au-
thorities in this city that there is gi-
gantic scheme engineered by the Chi
nese Six Companies i'll San Francisco,
and is not confined to this district alone.
The scheme is smooth and easy one,
and a wholesale evasion of the Geary
law is possible under it. AS soon as the
plot was discovered Collector Freeman
made hasty investigation of the rec
ords of the office and communicated the
esult of his discoveries to Washington.
Mr.. Freeman has instructions from
Washington not to arrest any OF them
until further advices from headquarters.

Are Releases Good?

6The case of Elida Nelson against The
Twin City Rapid Transit Company is a
peculiar one, inasmuch as it opens up a
new idea in damage suits. 1t appears
that the lady settled her claim some
time ago with the company and signed
a release of all claims against it. After
wards she was not satisfied, and wanted
to sue, and for the purpose of doing SO
claimed that she did not know how
sick she was at the time of the settle
ment. The outcome will be watched
with some degree of interest for the
reason that if a release is not good,
companies have no protection what
ever from claimants of that order.
