Mayor Eustis Oct. 8th.

1t is not often that the people of
Princeton and vicinity are afforded an
opportunity of hearing such an elo-
quent orator as Hon. VIM. H. Eustis,
mayor of Minneapolis. He will be
here on Monday evening, Oct. 9Th, and
will speak in the Opera House. AS an
orator Mr.. Eustis has few equals in the
Northwest. Farmers are especially
invited to be present with their wives
and daughters.
Miss Bina M. West has captured the
hearts of all the ladies with whom she
has come in contact. Indeed, even
some of the gentlemen are anxious. to
become members of the Hive, but in
this the ladies will not listen to their
petitions. Miss West left this morn
ing for Roulette, where she will organ
ize a Hive. She has several engage
ments in the eastern part of the State
between this and Christmas. From
the Bradford Pa Record. T..
b. Grant, of Sherburne county, and
A. E. Westling, OF Isanti county, took
an active interest in the county fair.
Mr.. Grant deserves especial mention
for the hard work he performed in
awakening an interest among the farm
ers and getting them to come to the
fair with their produce. Jonas Hill
and E. A. Briggs took an active inter-
est in the work and contributed not a
little toward the exhibit. Many others
are deserving of special mention but
space forbids in this issue of the paper.

Mayor Priugree. the queer mayor Of
Detroit, had pair of foe carriage
horses killed with chIoroform the ot'er
day, for the purpose of saving expenses.
He would not need the horses during
the winter, he said, and in the spring
he would be able 20 buy a new pair for
less than .he cost of caring for pair
throughout the winter. He did not
want to sell the horses, because be
feared purchaser might be cruel to
them. The mayor wishes the city 'e
save expenses in similar manner, by
killing sixty horses that it will not need
10 the winter months. When the
mayors present term of Office is out the
people will have no further use for him
pot even the next spring-hence it is
pretty safe to say he will be politically
cbloroformed.

New orleans. La, Dec. l9.-All cotton
labor on the leyee was suspended to-
day. before the November election.
when the city officials feared for polit-
lcal reasons to take TOO strong meas
ures TO restrain the white labor from
interference with the colored men, the
white screwmcn and longshoremen de-
clined to work with the cOlored men,
and this and the riots which followed
the announcement OF this determine
tion drove both the colored longshorc-
men and screwmen off the levee. The
2olOred men have since been in con-
sultation with the stevedores and ship
agents and finally submitted propo-
sltion TO work for 40 cents an hour,
the whites charging 80 cents. The
agents virtually accepted the offer by
announcing that from today men
would be employed Irrespective OF color
at that figure, The white screwmen
had claimed that they had no control
over the white longshoremen. but new
ertheless both the white screwmen and
longshorcmen quit work this morning,
refusing to handle cotton delivered by
colored men. The ship agents now pro-
pose to recommence loading of ships
tomorrow with colored labor and thus
break up the two white organizations,
and have been promised ample police
protection from interference.
