avenue and Seventh street, within the
very doorway of Westminster church.
Mrs. M. j. Sherman, colored woman,
whose home is In the rear of the Hotel
Warwick, went to st. Paul yesterday,
and last night, when she returned, she
got oft the interurban car at First ave-
nue. south and walked over to NlcOllet,
where she met George Monroe, a cOlored
man. In spite of the fact that Monroe
served term in the workhouse for
striking a white woman with an ak,
Mrs. Sherman concluded he was better
than no escort at all and walked up the
avenue with him, little dreaming of the
Nemesis in the rear. The Nemesis was
Josie Drake, young colored woman,
whose place of abode is at the corner Of
Third avenue south and Third street.
1t appears she is "sWeet'i on Monroe,
and, when she saw him walking calmly
up the street with rival, her jealous
nature took fire.
Josie Drake tracked the unsuspecting
couple until the big church was reached,
when she darted ahead and waited in
the shadow of the darkened doorway.
Just as Mrs. Sherman came opposite
her, Josie whipped out a murderous-
looking razor and made wild sWoop
with the glistening blade. 1t caught the
unfortunate woman on the tip of the
nose and cut deep cash as far as the
temple over the left ear. Mrs.
Sherman uttered wild shrek, and
both Josie and Monroe disappeared
like the mists before the morning sun.
A number of people who's were return
ing from the meeting in the Swedish
Tabernacle, crowded around the
wounded woman, and when Police Ser
geant Mealy arrived he had TO fight his
way to the center of the JAM
Mrs. Sherman was taken to the CEN
trail station in the patrol wagon, where
Police Surgeon Gibson dressed the cut.
The wound is not dangerous, but Mrs.
Sherman'S brunette beauty is marred
forever.

Louis r. THAN Being Pushed for
United States Attorney.
AS the days before the 4th of March
grow less, Minneapolis Democrats begin
to speculate on the distribution of the
few plums which will fall to the lot of
this citv's inhabitants. The postmas-
tership, of course, is the best office to
be given to Flour City man. Only two
candidates are known to be in the field.
G. NJ. Foote was looked upon as sure
winner right after election, and now the
preponderance OF opinion seems TO be
in his favor. F. j. -i!oibrooN, however,
is being urged for the place. Mr. Ho!-
brook is young mar Of such sJeriing
worth that he finds plenty of support.
The friends Of each claim that their
man will win. Some OF the neutral Oh
servers deem the chances about even.
For collector of customs at Minneapolis
several candidates arc III tbs field. All
OF them claim ''cinch." it is safe
bet, however, that the man who will get
it is the one who has not figured IN the
i.speculation. Nj, J. Lally seems TO be
about the only candidate, so far, for
deputy collector of internal revenue, the
Office now held by S. l.. TrusSell.
After all is said about theSs places.
most Of the interest in Minneapolis in
the distribution OF federal patronage

Louis r. Than. the late county attor-
ney. is safe to say that Mr.. Than
will have the backing Of Hcnnopin

Woman and Matrimony.

A woman's chance to marry at from
fifteen to twenty years of age is said to
be l415 per cent. From twenty to
twenty-five the chance is increased 10
so per cent; from twenty-five to thirty
1T diminiSheS to Is: from thirty to
thirty-hve, to 1514 per cent. From
thirty-tive to forty the chance of an un-
married woman sinks to 81 per cent;
from forty 20 forty-five a still further
diminution is seen, her chance being
but 215. From forty-fve to fifty
the OLD maids chance of getting
a husband IS but three-eighths
Of per cent, while from fifty to fifty
five She is supposed to have but one
quarter Of per cent of chance. 1t
should, however. be added that the
table OF average does not apply to wild
ows. Accurate statistlcians, who would
not be caught in mistake tor the world,
affirm that q widow OF any age has at
least seventy-six spinstor drawing pow
er, and some place her figure up to
elghtY-two. The widows chances at
any age are therefore SeTenty-siX to
eighty-two times better than that of

another Scandal Growing Out OF
the Panama Scandal.
LONDON, FEB. 13.-The Paris CORE
spondent of tho Daily Chronicle says
tha5 notice of tho sentence OF Ferdi-
uand dc Lesseps was given to him
al La Chesnaye Saturday. M. Monchi-
court. the judicial liquidator. says
the same correspondent, has sent cir
cnlar to the Panama stockholders to the
effect that the law will not allow him TO
satisfy their claims. as 1t is applicable
ONLY to smaller concerns. He advises
them to agitate for a reform of the laws
bearing upon such cases as that of the
Panama company.
The attacks of the French newspapers
upou the savings banks caused the
withdrawal of amounts OF 100000
francs in excess Of deposits between
Jan. l and Feb. 10. The panic is now
subsiding.
The Paris correspondent Of the Times
reiterateS his statement that the trial
and decision il the Panama case were
Influenced by political considerations,
and quotes current gossip ID Pari u.s., TO
prove the correctness of his belief. The
decision was altered, he says, after
the speech Of NJ. Cavaignac, so
4hat it might weaken the effect
OF the speech by surprising M. Ca
vaignac's declarations of integrity,
honor and national pride. On Thurs
dav. hours before the reading of the de-
clsion, M. Eiffel was informed that he
had been acquitted. The decision had
been completed originally the night be-
fore, but was so hastily and generally
altered shortly before it was delivered
that Judge Perivier could hardly
read it.

HAMLIN AGAINST 1T.
Significant Sermon on the liner

Significant sermon on the Aner-
rancy OF the Bible.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Rev. Tennis
Hamlin, pastor of the Church OF the
Covenant, where President Harrison at
tends, preached very significant sermon
today Oh the inerrancy of the Bible.
He declared the deliverance of
the general assembly Of 1892 that 1.-THE
church holds" to such declaration as
a standard of the church, is without
grounds, and further says: "lf the
inerrancy deliverance stood upon the
same footing it would he simple
and harmless matter. But the resolu-
level of doctrine. 1t asserts that our
church holds it, 1t assumes that
every minister assented to it at
his ordination. 1t calls upon
him, if he does not believe it, to leave
the church. 1t embraces in this sum-
mons all ordained officers and deacons
as we'll as ministers. And II they
do not withdraw, it 'enjoins' the
courts of the church to speedily
discipline and eject them. In other
words, this delivcrance. under the Suise
of an Interpretation OF the standards,
sets up totally Lew doctrine, which 1t
declares the church holds and makes
it test OF ministerial and official
standing.
Nov 1 deliberately and solemnly
pronounce this an act OF the greatest
usurpation, to crush which is the urgent
duty of every Presbyterian who
loves his church and checisGes
her historical stand for liberty, both
personal and ecclesiastical. The gen
eral assembly is as much bound by the
constitution as IS tire humbleSt minister
or member of the church"

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The London

grow daily, steadily, inevitably, until 1t
has shrouded all the continent in its
deadly black. Not in one place alone
has the attack been made, but as if at a
given signal, in three widely different
countries the onslaught of the cholera
has begun. From far-aWay st. Peters
burg comes the news wholly expected,
of course, that ten persons have died of
cholera with the cessation OF the frost.
From MarSeilles, under the warm sun
of the Rivera, the plague has the added
horror of neWneSs, and the people are
trying hard to cover up the dead and to
quiet the fears of the living, for no hint
of this must come to spoil the season Of
/, pleasure that this month brings there.
But, worst of all, as directly affecting
America, is the news from Hamburg.
In the suburb of Altoona prisoner in
Jail has just died, and five others are
being closely watched. The port of
Hamburg itself has not been allowed to
escape. On board the steamers Echo
and Australia four sailors were stricken
with the disease. The weather is mod
Grating all over the country, and the
warm sunshine is kissing back to life
the cholera germs. So next week
promises to show wider spread of the
great plague. Meanwhile, Vienna is
sending invitations to all nations for
an international health congress to for
mulate some plan of fighting the COM
mon foe. and in England Southampton
is begging parliament to vote money to
keep up rigid quarantine.
MARSEILLEs, Feb. 12.-Eetween and
o'clock this evening eight persons
died of the cholera epidemic. 9,wo pa
tients were discharged as cureG from
the hospital. The Swedish consul las
refused to issue clearing bills to vessels
sailing for Swedish ports. A five days
quarantine has been established by the
Greek government for all arrivals from
this port.

CHANGED HIS MIND.

Rev. f. o. Holman Now Thinks
Minneapolis Needs a Revival.
Rev. F. o. Holman referred to his OPP
position to the Mills revival meetings
during his sermon yesterday morning
at the Hennepin Avenue NJ. E. church.
He stated that though he had been OPP
posed to the revivals when the matter
was first agtated, he had, in a measure,
changed his mind. and was willing and
glad to aid the other churches in max
ing the season of eXhortation success
full. He had come to the conclusion
that Minneapolis was in need of some
thing that would operate as revelation
upon the people, who were traHsgressing
to no small extent. The fact that Sui
day theaters were running in full blast
every Sabbath afternoon and evening,
and that skating matches and other per-
nicious pastimeS were being INDUCED
in on the Lords day demonstrated that
a change of heart was needed, and
needed badly. Mills was the instru-
ment with which God would bring about
the revolution.

Messing the performance at tie BlJou,

their money. He struck Collins friend
with a sandbag and put him 20 lgnomlE-
ious fight. Then he piled into Colling
and soon laid him sensales5 On the
sidewalk.
The fellow rifed Collins pockets, and,
as he had just received his months pay
from the railroad company, i. is pre-
sumed that he had a large amount with
him. At any rate, the highWaVman
took every cent the unfortunate Collins
had in his possession and then leyanted.
Collins remained unconscious for some
time. when a good Samaritan, in the
person of a lonely pedestrian, came
along and assisted him to his home.
Collins was seriously injured. His head

Three Wives Each Man Marries.
London Daily News
Rosegger, the Syrian poet, who is
battling with death just now, publishes
a Christmas book called "All Sorts OF
Human Things" in which he expresses
the following thoughts on marriages:
"If you think of marrying woman re-
member you marry three creatures,
young one. middle-aged and an
old one. Unless one Or two die
before their time. you marry a
wife, a mother and a grandmother.
In her you marry a lot of people you do
not know. You don't marry for today.
or for tomorrow, but for life and for all
sorts OF situations. If she is gentle and
wise and true, you have bride, not
only for the wedding day, but for sick
ness and poverty and old age. Ii she is
only handsome. she will some day grow
ugly; but if she is good and true, she
will stand wear. Try to know her De-

SHERMAN ONCE SUSPENDED
BY President Lincoln Because OF
Alleged Insanity.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Feb. 12.-1n lecture
here Saturday night, Rev.Thomas Sher-
man, son of the late Gen. w. F. Sher-
man, made the statement that his father
was once suspended from his duties
by Abraham Lincoln on the ground
of insanity. Rev. Sherman was lectur-
ing on his fathers domestic life, and,
after making the above statement, he
added that Gen. Sherman's fa1her-in-
law, Mr.. Ewing, and other friends, as
soon as they heard of President
Lincoln's action, went 10 Washington TO
investigate the matter. President Lin
coin showed them some incoherent
reports made by Gen. Sherman, and
stated that the general was certainly
insane. Closer investigation showed
tf.at tee reports were not the original
papers, but had been garbled in copy
ing. The case was rcopened and the
general restored to duty. The state
ment OF Father Sherman has created
quite sensation here.
