An Easy Electrical Experiment.

Take u glass, expose it to the fire so that
1t shall be perfectly dry and place 1t upside
down upon table. Afterward take a
tray, perfectly dry, and place it upon the
glass in such II way that it shall preserve
its equilibrium. Finally take sheet Of
paper slightly smaller than the tray, heat
1t and rub it rapidly with a brush, and it
will become quickly electrified. Then
place it upon the tray.
An electrical machine will thus have
ibcen constructed without any expense. II
the finger be brought near the tray, u
spark will appear. This spark will be SO
much the brighter and the series of sparks
will be 80 much the longer in proportion
as the glass and tray are drier.
II, while the sparks are being drawn
from the tray, the room be darkened, these
sparks will appear extremely brilliant.

This is very old game, and one which
makes lots Of fun. One of the players
stands on a stool in the midst of the other
children who are in the game, impersonat-
ing that mysterious grandee, the grand
multi. He or she makes any motions de-
sired, the more absurd the funnier, such
rs lifting the arms, extending the hand,
squatting, standing on one foot, dancing
Jig, hopping from one foot to the other,
etc, at the same time saying: "Thus does
the grand mufti!' or, $50 does the grand
muftir' The two words, "thus" and
$50" makes the game, for when the grand
mutt says "Thus does the grand mufti, !"
every one must make the same gesture,
OF dostl1e sarne thing, but wheh' the grand
mufti says, $50 does the grand multi, !"
no one must initiate, under penalty of
paying forfeit. Great attention and
quickness are required not to get confused
as the game quickens. -

or two amusements, but they did not seem
to fit her case. At last she offered her

imagine them to be idols brought forth
the indignant reply: "ldolslsWell! The

married at 11:40 this morning in the
South Reformed church, corner Of Madi.
son avenue and Thirty-elghth street, by
Rev. DR.. Frederick Roderick Terry. The
bride was dressed in pearl silk with lace
trimmings on the corsage. Her hat har-
monlzed with her costume in color, and
she looked charming indeed. She
carried a bunch of Bride roses
and lilies of the valley. The
father of the bride gave her
away at the altar. There were no
attendants. The ceremony was followed
by a wedding breakfast at Mrs Blaine's
apartments at the Belmont. Only init
mate friends and relatives were asked
to the ceremony, as it was the brides
desire that the wedding should be as
quiet as possible. Not more than fifty
people were present in the church to
witness the ceremony. This wedding
Is a happy conSumation of romance
begun when Mrs. Blaine was seriously
ill three years ago. That she would be
a cripple for life was the verdict of the
physicians who had attended her. Dr..
Bull, however. gave more hopeful as
surances, and it is to his efficient skill
she owes her comparative good health
today. After wedding trip in this
country, DR.. and Mrs. Bull will sail for
Europe.

STEPHEN B. SMELL.
His Death Results From an AT.
tack Of Paralysis.

LUCK O1
At8 o'clock last evening occurred the
death of Stephen B. Smell, at his resi-
dence, 1882 Portland avenue. Mr.. Smell
was one of the old residents of Min
neapolls, having located here in 1856.
He was seventy-five years of age, and ap-
parently enjoyed the best of health
until two weeks ago. At that time he
had harnessed his horse and was about
to drive away when he was noticed to
have lost control of the reins. When
assistance arrived he was found to be
growing unconscious. 1t is probable that
a blood vessel broke with the seizure of
appolexy. His death ultimately re-
suited from paralysis. He leaves a
widow and five children. w. E. and j.
d. living at FIandreau, s. D.; George
Smell, Mrs. G. A. Giuman and Mrs. G.
G. Stetson, of this city.
Mr.. Smell was born at Augusta, Me-,
where he lived until twenty-one years
of age, when he removed to Hancock
county, Illinois, where he married in
the year 1858. Three years later he re-
moved to the small city of Minneapolis,
taking his wife with him. His
first residence he built Oh Fifth street
on the ground where now stands st.
Marks church. He participated in the
Indian troubles of 1862, and was wagon
master of the expedition that
went out under Capt. Stout.
Mr.. Smell was engaged, until the
last few years of his life, in
the business of contracting, and i'll his
business and social life gathered about
him his many close friends and ac-
qaintanceS, who will mourn his loss.

former issues, and occupies 260 pages Of
printed matter. In the manner of make
up. as we'll as in the matter, there is

KILLED WITH AN AK.
AtrOciOus Murder of Respect
able Young Girl Near Fall
a. River, Mass.
Her Skull Was Crushed to a
Jelly, and Her Hair Matted
With Blood.

FALL RIVER, Mass, May 30.-The
city is in state of intense excitement
tonight, due to the discovery Of an
atrocious murder, rivaling in many
respects those of Mr.. and Mrs. Bor-
den. The victim was Miss Bertha
Manchester, aged twenty-five years, a
former student in the high school. and
a descendant of one of the Oldest fam
lilies in this section of New England.
She was last seen alive when her
father, accompanied by his son and a
hired boy, left for the city this morning.
On their return the son ran into the
kitchen and there saw his murdered
Notifying the father, the police
were summoned and an investiga-
ton made. A bloody ak was found in
a woodpile near the back fence. The
examination of the body disclosed
horrible conditions. The young girl
was lying close to the foot of the stove,
where she had evidently dragged
herself through pools of her blood. Her
right leg was drawn under her. her
clothes were partially drawn from her
hips, and her head and face were
frlghtfully lacerated. There were four
long, deep cuts on the back of
the head and the top of the skull was
crushed to jelly. There were several
cuts on the face and nose and two Of
the girls teeth were found on the floor
beside her. Her loose hair was
matted with blood and her arms and
face were covered with 1t. The space
in which she was found measured about
six by eight feet, and the sheathing
and windows all around 1t were spotted
with blood. Some few spots of blood
were found leading from the kitchen
to the stair door. and there were pools
of blood in the cellar. just beneath
where the body lay. In searching the
house the police found the girls bed
room had been rified Of some of
its contents. The rifed bedroom
leads 10 the theory that robbery
was the motive; but, although they have
reached theory as to the motive OF the
murder, they are all at sea at. this hour
regarding the identity or whereabouts
| of the assassin. The girl is said to have
no lovers, and no motive other than rob-
| berry is advanced.

@. G. sTURTEVANT DEAD.
The Chamber of Commerce Vet
eran Is No More.

The Chamber of Commerce Vet
eran Is No More.
&C. Sturtevant, the veteran secretary
of the chamber of commerce. passed
away at the hour of noon yesterday.
He has been gradually failing, and it
was known that he could not live long.
He was a man ripe in years and ready
for the harvest. The cause of his death
was probably as much general break
ing down of the system as the result OF
the fall which first confined him to his
house. MIR. Sturtevant was born In
Litcbfield county, Massachusetts. some
time about the year 1913; but, with the
exception Of his birthplace, he was in
all respects Western man, as in about
a year after that event his father was
seized with the "Westward Ho!" fever
and migrated to place long we'll
known in Ohio as the "Connecticut Re-
serve" near where the city of Akron is
now built. Here his son grew up, tine
specimen of what the West can produce
in the way of physical manhood, with
his six feet and odd inches, and built all
over correspondingly.
In 1889, having family of his own by
this time, he also concluded that he
WOulu 20 w 6SI, anu luOFCu bHCtu Ouu
to Jacksonville, ILL.,. which city failed to
realize the importance expected from 1t
in those days. and here engaged in
steamboating, IN which occupation he
remained for twenty years.
Mr.. Sturtevant had been in Minneap-
oils twenty years. When he first came
here he was commercial editor of the
Tribune. After that he took the posi-
ton of secretary of the board of trade.
In 1882 he relinquished that and be-
came secretary of the chamber of COM
merce. which position he has held since.
Just previous to his death Mr.. Sturte-
want had been living in Ozark flats, cor
her Thirteenth street and Hennepin
avenue. He leaves a wife and three
children, boy ana two girls, all mar
ried. The oldest daughter. Mrs. Clay
ton, is here. The other, Mrs. E. 5.
Stoddard. of Pierre, has not yet arrived,
nor has the son Arthur, from Indian
apOliS.
