Reeormlne a Parrot.

A Pittsburger who spent part
Of last summer in England tells
an incident which sadly disturbed
the religious peace of a parish in
Penzance.
A maiden lady Of that town
owned a parrot, which somehow
acquired the d~isagreeable habit of
observing at frequent intervals:
II wish the old lady would die"
This annoyed the birds owner
who spoke to her curate about it.

and / trust his influence will re-
form that depraved bird of yours"
The curate's parrot was placed
in the same room with the wicked
one, and as soon as the two had
become accustomed to each other
the bird remarked:
Il wish the old lady would die
Whereupon the clergyman'i
bird rolled up its eyes and in sol.

The story got out in the parish
and for several Sundays it wat
necessary to omit the litany at the

his quadruplex for $4,000 and
spent the whole trying to make a

and it cost him 100000 to perfect
it. He made $4,000 on the carbon

the Dalles Chronicle says the east

DEFEATED BY A TIE.
Two Saloons on Rice Street

License Committee Holds 1t Has
More Power Than

The joint committee on license from
the council met last evening to con-
slider the applications for the issuance
of saloon licenses at 1882 and 1149 Rice
street. William Emmert. brewer,
had made application for the license at
1852, but the committee were con-
fronted by petitions signed by about
one hundred residents protesting
against the license being issued. The
reason given.by the professors was that
there were already ten saloons in
radius Of a quarter of mile. A pc
tition was also presented signed by one
hundred names asking that the license
be issued. Aid. Copeland was opposed
to the application being granted
In this and all other cases in the out
skirts of the city. Aid. Zimmerman said
the locality was outside the patrol lin

In the matter. There was some question
as to whether the proposed saloon was
inside the district patrolled by the po-
lice, but, this was settled by John r.

Assemblyman Sandell thought under
these circumstances it would be only
fair to grant the application. The mo-
ton to grant the license was lost by a
tie vote. AsSemblyman Reardon and
Aid. Zimmerman and Copeland voting
against it, and Assemblymen DAILY and
Sandell and Aid. Conley for it.
The motion to grant the application
for license at 1149 Rice street was also
defeated by tie vote. the same mem
bers opposing it. William Hamm, who
made the application, stated that the op-
position to the opening Of a saloon at
the last mentioned number was stirred
up by saloonkeeper named Harbeck,
/ from the one proposed. HarDeck, he
said. had been to the mayor and certain
members of the license committee pro-
testing against any competition, and
advancing the theory that there were
already saloons enough in the neighbor-
hood. MIR. Hamm was of the opinion
that if the committee desired to be fair
in the matter they would in the
future refuse to grant any license
to saloons outside OF the limits
patrolled by the police. Aid. Zim-
norman, evidently seeing that this
would place the committee i'll position
where it might pinch the shoe on the
other foot at some future time, said he
had no objection to the granting of
saloon licenses in any district where
the residents did not object to the same.
There was some talk about the consti-
tutionality Of the ordinance under which
the committee granted licenses, and
Aid. Zimmerman took the ground that
the ordinance was illegal. In this he
was backed up by Assemblyman Rear
don, who thought the council, and not
the committee on license, had the power
to grant saloon licenses. 1t was finally
decided that the action of the committee
Was final, and the council had nothing
to do with the granting Of liquor licenses
under the city ordinance.

TO INVOKE SPIRITS.
Arrangements for the Annual
Camp on Merrimac Island.

Gam Oh lSIauus
The Northwestern Spiritualist asso-
ciation is making extensive arrange
ments for it's camp meeting at Merrimac
island, just below lnyer Grove. This
association gave to the people the most
complete spiritualistic gathering last
year that ever was held in the North
west, and this seasons effort is for the
purpose of surprising all previous
meetings. Fourteen speakers have
been engaged for public work on
the platform. while every branch
of mediumship will be represented
by the most reliable medium that can
be found. Among those who will Of
ficiate on the platform are Lyman G..
Howe, of Fredonia, n. Y; Oscar A.
Edgerley and Mrs. Helen Stuart-Rich
ings, together with a number of the
home talent.
Phenomenal mediumship will be rep
resented by Mrs. Aspinwall and c. E.
Winans as materialiZers; DR.. Ackerly,
for physical manifestations in the light;
Mrs. DE Wolf and others for independ-
,ent slate writing, and number OF test
mediums, among whom are Fred Corden
White, of Chicago, and DR.. Temple, of
San Francisco. In addition to this
there will be in attendance mediums
for all phases known. Prof. j. S. Cra-
vens, who takes spirit pictures under
strict test conditions, will be on the
grounds the entire season. The camp
opens July and closes July %. The
exceedingly high water of this year has
done no damage on the grounds, and
they are in such shape that work will
begin on them Tuesday.

these events will be the demonstration
with which the people of st. Paul will
celebrate the completion to Pacific tide
water of the Great Northern railway:
Ten years ago st. Paul fttingly marked
the opening of the first series of steel
bands between the city and the West
coast-the Northern Pacific-but it is
the intention to make the coming DEM
onstration as far superior to that as the
st. Paul of today is greater than the
metropolis of 1883. The progress and
development of ten years could not
more appropriately be shown than in
the great epochal pageant of next
"Wednesday. IL will be a hummer.
Even those who have faithfully fol-
lowed the GLOBE in its daily accounts
of the preparations have no adequate
conception of the real magnitude and
splendor of the coming demonstration.
But the work is drawing to a con-
clusion. One by one the many ends are
being drawn together, and the complete
programme is ready at last.
Arranging the Parade.
The committee on parade yesterday
afternoon outlined the programme of
the great parade to be given next
Wednesday afternoon in honor of the
completion of the Great Northern rail-
way from st. Paul to the Puget sound.
The committee has endeavored to make
the first part of the parade historical,
representing the various modes of
transportation known in the Northwest
since it was first explored by white men.
This will be perhaps the most interest
ing feature of the parade. and some
thing never before attempted in this
country, First are the Indians with
their ponies, followed by the French
voyagers. The railroad floats introduce
the second epoch.
But first of all will be the magnificent
parade of the fire department, which
will be entirely separated from the
parade proper. 1t was difficult to find
any place in the parade for the fire de-
partment and it will be allowed to pre-
cede the parade by half an hour.
The United States troops, the national
guard of the state and the Shattuck
cadets, each with its own band, will
