Louise Chapman had r-Eleanor-and
she was there to assist in recciving-as best she
could, for Eleanor was deaf snd dumb--and the
brunt Of the responsibility of hostess did not
and could not rest upon her.
Eleanor was the young lady who had ushered
me in without word, on the occasion of my
first call. Great indeed was the physical con-
trast between the sisters. Louise had all the
appearance of a woman of fashion. Her costume
was elaborate-I shall not say how expensive.
As for Elesnor. we'll, her gown did not fit, and
moreover, it was decidedly plain. Her brown
hair was parted in the middle and combed of
TO the sides, as was the style half century
ago. and coiled loosely at the back of her head.
But there could he no question rs to the INTEL
lectuality of her facs, aud despite the obstacles
of nature in her regard, she seemed perfectly
at ease.
Most OF the latter part of the evening she sat
in a corner in the company of a substantial
looking young man, who convcrsed with her
glibly enough, if not lovingly, in the sign lam
guage. had been introduced to her by Louise
in these words: Ny sister, Eleanor, Mr.. Wall
Ter. She cannot speak or hear what you say
but she is the dearest little thing in the whole
world.'
l had bowed and shaken hands with Eleanor
and she with me. But in that moment l was
conscious of some quality Of suppressed power
in her. which, as an eDviable possession. has
critics respecting certain histronic artists.
] went from the reception deeper in love with
Louise Chapman than ever She was the pivot
npon which my mental moral and physical
universe turned. j did not wonder that a
woman so clever in conversation should be
equally at home with her pen. Airy badinage,
subtle persfiage, society chit-chat never dis
contented her. She was equal to all emergen-
cies of banter, and in expedien;s she was in
deed genius.
1t Was not difficult to learn tina. Miss Chap
man was exclusive. She refused several invi.
tations of mine to the theater. At length, she
accepted one. After the second act which had
closed on affecting love climax, l whispered
in her ear q proposal of marriage. 1t was n
bold, unprecedented thing TO do, confess but
will you believe it? she did not get angry nor
did she even hedge in the least. She said this:
"Mr. Waller, | respect your offer, because
well, / knew it was coming, and / have had
time to consider it. Let me be straightforward
with you. do not like men as a rule have
10 idea of marrying at present. Eleanor and 1
are alone together in the world. and until she
has a husbands protection / shall never think
of becoming wife,"
That was enough for the present did not
know what TO say, and so l discreetly kept 81

MASS MEETING CALLED
To Sound Public Sentiment in the
Coal Combine.


Coal Combine.
A call for mass meeting at Market
hall, Thursday evening, is being circu-
lated. The call is self-eXplanatory and
is as follhws:
Whereas, The legislature now in ses-
sion has shown disposition TO relieve
the people from the oppression and eX-
tortiOn of the coal trust. and have pro-
ceeded in such manner as to indicate
to their constituents that they intend, if
within their power, to effectually crush
the monster combine, whose fangs to
the extent of 81 on every ton of coal
have entered every home in this state;
and,
Whereas. 1t is proper that the people
should show not only their appreciation
of the efforts of the legislature in the
direction Indicated, but that the legis-
lature should be strengthened by public
sentiment to take such other and fur
ther proceedings as may be proper and
necessary to attain the desired end:
Now, therefore, we, the undersigned
citizens of the state of Minnesota, do
hereby call mass meeting OF the peo-
pie of this city and state, 10 be held at
Market hall, in the city of st. Paul.
Thursday evening, March %, at s
o'clock sharp, at which meeting Hon.

new commissioner will be either ex-
Congressman Charles Ii. Mansur. of
Missouri; Col. John ID. Benton. of North
Dakota, or Judge Bartlett Tripp, of, South
Dakota. The latter's chances have not
been improving with delay, although
his hackers have had the ear of the
president more frequently than have
the friends of either of the other candi-
dates. But on the other band, the
friends OF Gen. Taylor, of Huron. have
been doing some lively protesting that
may have had some effect. Col. Benton
is the only man without opposition at
home. and had he remained in Wash
ingtOn and personally pressed his case,
his appointment would be certain.
While the office of solicitor general
may not be filled until the adjournment
of the court of claims in May, there are
the best of reasons for believing that
the president and Attorney General
Olney nave already made up their minds
to appoint Lloyd w. Bowers, of WI
mona.
Congressman Baldwin has decided to
fill the vacancy at West Point Military
academy from the Sixth district by a

Excitement Is Growing and I'M
Deachment Is Talked

Excitement Is Growing and I'M
parchment is Talked OF.
There has never been the excitement
over the entire case that was manifested
last night over the course of Judge
Brill in calling Hiler Horton to task for
what he had been reported as saying in
the house concerning the course of the
courts. The fact was not generally
known during the session. and when it
became nOiSed about in the evening it
produced a profound sensation. This
was particularly noticeable at the
meeting of the committee last
night, where the language was
red-hot in which reference was
made to the matter. The legiSla-
ture is mad clear through, and if some
thing does not drop today it will be
very singular. The constitution very
distinctly says that no member of the
legislature shall be questioned or called
to account for anything which may
occur III It's sessions, and the irate mem
beTS now say that Judge Brill has fla
grantly violated this provision IN the
lecture he read Horton yesterday morn
ing. The provision is found in Section
8 Of Article 4 of the constitution of
hlnuOoOIds anu 10 ElfCu III lulls do lOl-
lows:
The members of each house shall in all
cases. except treason, felony and breach of
the peace, be privileged from arrest during
the session of their respective houses, and in
going to and returning from the same. For
any speech or debate in either house they
shall not be questioned in any other place.
This was discussed last night where
members of the legislature were to be
found, and the air was filled with talk
OF impeachment. Some of the cooler
heads counseled moderation, but they
were Indignantly called down by the
majority, who loudly talked of support
ing and sustaining the dignity of the
legislature. Beyond all doubt the house
will take cognizance of the matter
today, and there will be music in the
air.

HORTON TAKEN TO TASK.
Judge Brill Calls Him Down for a
Reported Speech.


Reported Speech.
Hon. Hiler II. Horton was before
Judge Hascal r. Brill, Judge OF the dis
trict court. yesterday in his capacity as
an attorney, receiver and as litigant,
and probably in the capacity of a mem
Der of the legislature, although ne may
not have thought the court would take
notice of the fact, in judicial way,
that he is the member of the house who
was quoted as making some structures
on the court of which he is a sworn
officer. The case in which he appeared
III three capacities is that of Horton, as
receiver of Walker, Judd & Veazie,
against Austin p. jerks, as assignee,
which case has been OF trial in Judge
Brillis court for several days. This was
the first time Mr.. Horton had appeared
in the court room for day or two. At
the opening of court Judge Brill, adj
dressing Mr.. Horton. said:
Before this case passes, [ want to call
attention to one thing. The plaintiff in
this case is an attorney Of this court,
and is, besides, an officer of this court,
the receiver appointed by the court.
According to the reports in the public
prints. yesterday, while this case was In
progress before the court, he in another
place grossly inSulted the court. | cam
not let the matter pass without calling
attention to it. 1t was gross breach of
the duty he owes the court if he is cor
reetly reported. l have no means of
knowing except through the public
prints, but think the court, in its own
protection, cannot let circumstance of
that sort pass without calling attention
to it, and expressing its disapprobatiOn.
l suppose the gentleman, being a men,
Der of The legislature, is protected from
any action that the court might take in
this case. Without intending to raise
that point, however, simply desire to
call attention 10 the fact that the court
feels that a gross insult has been offered
the court by one Of its officers and
party to the case OH trial.
Mr.. HortOn-I wish to state to the
court, without taking any time at all.
and when l have explained, in one
minute, your honor will believe what |
say, having known me a great many
years. that | am the last one to take the
attitude reported. l was very much
misrepresented and misquoted. As
told Mr.. Warner this morning, was 60
ing TO see Judge Egan. and am on nv
way there, and shall also endeaVOr to
have the correction made in the public
prints. There were things said there
which were highly improper, and which
was as disagreeable to Inc as to this
court, or any attorney of this court.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-03-22

But my action up there yesterday was
something that was mixed up with what
was said by other gentlemen on the
floor of the house, and i'll the re-
port of what was said there

represented, and | intended to bring 1t
to the notice of this court, and partic-

glad the court has given me this OppOr-
tunity to explain, because l want to
place myself right before this court.
The remarks that were attributed to me
were made by other gentlemen on the
floor of the house. My action up there
consisted In requesting a call of the
house, and nothing else. was not on
the floor more than two minutes. can

where they properly belong, and l shall

much now, and am glad to have the
opportunity to say it, and l propose TO
appear before Judge Egan at once. and
give him the exact Stcte Of affairs there.
l do not desire the court to think that L
wOuld take any such attitude as re-
ported. 1t has been very unfortunate
thing. all the way through, and l am
certainly in no position, and have no
desire, to take the unpleasant attitude
which was taken on the floor of
that house yesterday toward this
court, and | did not do il, and l will
state TO the court tlat, so far as l am
able, | will have the entire matter
Strengthened out so that the court will
understand what was said and what
was done. 1 was entirely misqnOted in
my remarks OIL the floor of the house;
my remarks were mixed up with re-
marks which were made by Others who
were members of the house and who
are not members of this bar, and | am
very glad to have the opportunity now
to say this much to the court, and | will
see Judge Egan as soon as | can. That
