There Is sound practical sense in the letter
addressed ty tn. Riverside Association to house
holders on the West Side in reference TO provd-
ing work for the unemployed by having neces-
sary repairs upon their houses made now instead
OF putting of the work until summer. Among
the things which must be done sooner or later
are cleaning out cellars. pointing up stoops, re-
pairing sidewalks. replacing broken plasterfng.
etc The best way of helping those In need Is
by giving them work. and every job Of this
kind means the provision Of the means OF living
TO persons In want The Riverside Association
proposes 10 create n labor exchange where people
who have work to be done can secure trust
worthy workers To do 1t. Its example Is worthy
Of imitation In other parts OF the city and in
other cities.

The true prosperity of any community de-
pends upon the condition of it's wage-earners.
Exorbitant rents for tenement-houses and for
small flats rank among the worst Affections
of New-York life. The tenement houses OF New
York are crammed with destitution and misery.
Their unfortunate occupants must have lower
rents or they Will be driven out Of town.

The conviction OF Michael Donohue, the New
burg switchman. who caused serious wreck
near that city last July Is wholesome lesson
To railroad employees generally. Donohue has
been found guilty OF manslaughter in the sec
ond degree and Is face to face with term
i'm state Prison. The disaster the West Shore
Railroad was caused by misplaced switch, In
consequence of which an express train left the
track and plunged into freight train stand
ing on a side track. Seven persons were killed.
While the switch was left open. the signal indi-
Gated that the track all right OF course
the responsibility rested on the swttchman, and
he has row been pronounced guilty by jury.

the result OF the trial could not be accuratel'
foreseen.

venient thing for the Democrats i'm the Snate
for the last few days. But the majority should
not permit regard for the interests OF the mi
nority to carry them too far. Mr. Csntor's Ill

fact his presence would make no difference as to

Glow VICTORIOUS.
Foley Is Untitled for Billiards by
His bowling.

Last night the game in the Foley bill
lard tournament was between L. p.
Foley and Charles Glow. 1t required
sixty-seven innings for Glow 20 play
out the game, and when he did it
showed him the winner, 500 to 153
scored by Foley. Both men started off
well. bat subsequently dropped to a
SLOW gait. Foley showed, as he has
throughout the tournament, the inprac-
tlcabili;y of ones bowling and playing
billiards at practically the same time.
III he should confine himself exclusively
to either game, and take plenty of prac-
tiee. he would stand chance of making
il better showing, especially Oh the
tables. His high runs last night were
q, II and II. Glow did not play tho
game he is clearly capable of playing,
though he made some creditable runs.
AS was to be expected, he made a bet

succeeded in extracting double figures

Tonight will be played the last game
OF the present tournament series, and
Glow ana Thayer will appear as contest
ants for honors. Glow will need to
play more careful game than the one
OF last night, or 1hayer will crowd HIM
cioSeiy-perhapS defeat him. Should
Thayer win. he and Glow will be lied
for first place. If, on the contrary.
Glow should be the victor, lie will stand
81 T. ha h1a.a of th,al Ia,
defeat. This will make ties for second
and third places between Thayer,
Thomas and Wilmot. BY the time all
Ties are played off Mr.. Foley will uu-
doubtedly put on some scheme, of which
he has several now under consideration.

WINoNA, Mimi, Feb. 27.-H. c. Fuhr-
mann is reported heavily short in his
accounts. He is well known through
ont the state by reason or his counec-
ton with the Odd Fellows. When, a
short time since, il was reported that
he was stricken with apopleXy, the re-
port was accepted as genuine. but when
an investigation of his accounts rs i'll
surahce agent and guardian revealed
quite stable shortage, another con-
StructlOn was put on his sickness, and
rumorS of attempted suicide by poison
are not denied by those in position to
know.
The shortages amount to about 81, 900.
As custodian of the block owned by the
humboldt Lodge of Odd Fellows, he
obtained over Sl.0O0 belonging to the
lodge. As guardian of Maria Ernst and
Charles and August Gernhardt and ad-
mlniStrator of the estate of Amila Mues-
sell, he got away with some 81. 900, which
his bondsmen have made good.
He was unable to account for $500
collected in premiums for the following
Insurance companies: German Fire,
Traders Fire, Oriental and Phoenix.
Two notes given the Winona Deposit
bank, one for $3.50 and one for $500, in
dOrsed by Philip Feiten, he was also
unable to meet.

Fuhrmann went to the state legislature

taste for high living and made the ac-
quaintance of a woman who afterwards
spent several months in his company

Fuhrmann has now recovered suffi-
GENTLY to talk business and has accepted
all offer or settlement and has escaped
arrest. The humboldt lodge shortage
he has made good by small sum in the
bank and deed to lot The claims
of his bondsmen, Frank RackOw, Charles
Metz. Enuch Stott and Louis Sternborn
and other interested parties, have been
satisfied by deed to his homestead,
which. when sold, will nearly realize
the amount due.

trying Anton Baierl for the murder of
his son last October. Attorney General
Childs appeared with County Attorney
Hartwick to prosecute the case, and At
torneys Volstead and Shellbach for the
defendant. The case promises to be the
most exciting in the history of Yellow

of the killing are reported about as toll.

being town treasurer and the sou town
clerk. ltseems there had been some
difficulty between the two about land
contract, which had led to strife. On
the morning Of the killing the father
stopped at stack OF hay where the son
with his wife were loading hay. The
old quarrel was revived and resulted In
the father pulling revolver and shoot
ing his son dead in his tracks. The
prisoner claims the son started at him
with pitchfOrk, and that he shot in
self defense. The prisoner is in his
siXtieth year. and has the appearance
of anything but criminal, and strong
effort will be made TO clear him.

WiImnt Does Not Go

Walter Wilmot did not leave for San
Francisco last night. as many expected
he would. His affairs have taken
another turn, and it is possible that he
may defer his Western trip indefinitely.
He stated yesterday that in case he did
not go to Frisco he would play billiards
in these diggings for awhile longer
''as much as may be desired" This
means that he may yet be in a position
TO accept CLOVIS challenge tor 300
point game at $3.50 side. 1t is possible
that such a game may come of the latter
part of this week. 1t is probable that
julie Mayer would act as referee i'm the
challenge game. 1t is so minated, at
least.

The attention of the GLOBE has been
directed to a statement appearing i'll a
st. Paul morning paper of Sunday that
is so full of errors that, in justice to the
parties themselves, correction is here
made. In giving the standing of some
of the players among the Amort bowl
ing clubs, this announcement is made:
''For illustration, i'll one Of the earlier
games in the tourney Hermes made 276
points and Deggendorf scored 274, while
the high score Thursday evening QasD
was that of Adam Heck. 254."
After careful examination of the
book of the scores at the Amort
alleys, it appears that the highest score
recorded there was made by Hermes, of
the Kegel club, which was 261. not 276.
70 both Hartmann and Friedman. of
the Enterprise club, is credited the next
highest score-264. Deggendorf made
the third highest-26O, instead of 274,
with which he is credited. These were
all made in regular tournament games.
The highest figures yet reached at these
alleys iii practice game were those
made by Daimler, of the North Stars,
who is credited with 27O. Daimler has
the credit of having twice made the
highest average OF any Dlayer-23U.
