A NICE JUDICIAL PLUM.
JUDGE caHTY'S RETIREMENT FROM
THE DISTRICT BENCH
MAY RESULT In A CONTEST.

The Scheme to Form a Combine
for a Non-Partisan Judiciary
Does Not Meet With Favor
Among the Democrats-Rela-
tive Strength of the Three
Prominent Aspirants.
The contest over the coming vacancy
on the district court bench, consequent
upon the retirement of Judge CAVITY.
who goes to the supreme court, is be-
coming quite lively IN legal circles of
Minneapolis, and especially so among
the Democrats. At recent consultation
of the leaders of the party 1t was decided
to not enter into any combine
or agreement with the Repub-
licans, on the grounds that
10 action should be taken that would in
any way bind or hamper the party in
the forthcoming conventions. 1t is
more than probable that the friends of
the several aspirants, who, by the way,
have conducted the canvass in spirit
OF perfect fairness, and without acri-
mony or bitterness will go before Gov.
Nelson and present their claims. This
WA w NaOhS III OAbOl lilQG WICll JllO
appointment is made, the governor will
not have the excuse to fall back
upon that he was not requested
to appoint Democrat. The
line, then, will be clearly drawn.
and in the absence of a combine. the
nominees of the respective conventions
will go before the people on their
merits.
In speaking of the relative strength
OF the three aspirantS for the judgeship
a well-posted Democrat said yesterday
that Brooks had majority of the law
yers to back him, and his ratio was
given as 60 per cent. Mahoney was
placed next with following of rs per
10 per cent, all of which has reference
to the profession. The same
authority also cited the fact
of Davenport having been Endorsed by
the state, county and congressional
committees, and to his popularity with
the rank and file of the party. 1t is
claimed that Judge Mahoney has par
tlculally strong backing, not only as
Democrat, but with Gov. Nelson and
ex-Gov. Piilsbury, with whom he
served on the board of university
regents. The friends or the latter, it IS
asserted, would be pleased to push him
to the front Oh non-partisan lines,
but this proposition will not
be entertained by the party
for the reason that a non-partisar move
ment at this time would probably result
i'll having three Republican to one Dem
ocratic judge on the bench.
1t is also asserted by the knowing
ones that Gov. Nelson would not ap-
point Davenport, as he is opposed to
him on some personal grounds. At any
rate, pretty contest is certain to en-
sue, and the result will be watched with
interest,

GOOD ARMY STORY.

union Last Week.
Somerset Vidette.
One of the best army stories | have
heard for a long time was told by a
Johnstown veteran of the Forty-ffth
regiment who was ere at the reunion
on Tuesday. The hero of the story is a
Jew. The veteran announced one day
that he was going to the suffer-
quarters, some two miles away, to make
some purchases. The Jew, Conn, lying
in his tent, heard this, and, calling the
veteran in, said:
Il give you fifty cents, you buy me
tobacco"
The fifty cents was handed over.
The veteran made his trip to the suffers
quarters. bat could get no tobacco. In
stead, he bought fifty cents worth of
cigars, all of which except two he gave
away to the boys and one of those left
he himself smoked. The remaining
one he carefully wrapped up in half a
dozen papers and handed into the tent
to Conn. The Jew spent some time
getting all the wrappers off, and was
almost paralyZad when he found it
contained single cheap cigar.
"What you do nit mine fifty centS?"
said the Jew.
His friends told him the sutler had no
tobacco, so he had bought cigars. Conn
gaZed long and earnestly at the small
return he had got for his half-dollar.
and then looking up at his friend said:
"Vell. de next time l send On fool
for tobacco goes myself"

Relief for the Sufferers.

By request of the board of trade of
New Orleans. the board of Minneapolis
is making an effort to raise funds for the
relief of the hundreds OF Southern flood
sufferers, who, the message says, are
entirely destitute; without food or
houses or clothing. The Minneapolis
Opera company will give two benefits in
aid OF this relief fund, at the Lyceum
theater, Thursday and Saturday even
ings of this week, and it is expected
that large sum of money will be raised
by this means. The mayor has enlisted
the services of his day police in the
work of selling tickets, 10000 of which
have been printed. The admission TO
the benefits will be but so cents to all
parts of the house. The com mittee wish
and urge the attendance of st. Paul
people at these benefits, VIII lose musical
and dramatic excellence alone will more
than repay the outlay in money, and
will also assist in most urgent and
worthy cause.

A BAT STORM.
1t Suggests That Bats Are Rathe

1t Suggests That Bats Are Rather
Interesting After ALI.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Bats keep out of doors If they can, and
away from people. The feet and the
sharp hooks on the ends of their wings
tangle themselves in the hair very I'M
pleasantly, to be sure. but they are not
1ll-tempered or venomous. and the in
sects that live on them will not leave
them for you, and are perfectly har m
less TO the people, anyway.
1t is also very useful, flying about at
night to capture and eat large guam
tlty of insects that do much harm to trees
and plants.
Gilbert White says-every boy ought
to know who Gilbert White is-that he
was much entertained one summer with
tame bat, which would eat flies off a
PERSONS hand. If you gave it anything
to eat it brought its wings around be-
fore its mouth, covering and hiding its
head in the manner of birds of prey
when they feed. The wings of flies it
always sheared off with much adroit-
ness and threw them away. This bat
preferred insects, but it would eat raw
meat. When this bat was tumbled on
the floor it would rise ON its wing with
great ease. 1t would run, too, rather
fast, but in mostridiculous and grotesque
manner.
