MONTH AHEAD OF TIME.
Arrival in Arizona of Boston
Woman CireIing the Globe.

Miss Anna Londonderry, the young
Boston woman who is girdIing the
globe on a $500 wager, arrived in the
city yesterday morning. The young
lady is now on her way home, hav
ing almost completed her contract,
sage the Arizona Gazette. She left
Boston on her hazardous trip June
"a last year, and is expected to arrive
in Boston Sept. %. She is now month
ahead of time. The young woman
looks bronzed from exposure, but is
enjoying the best of health. She has
had several unpleasant Incidents con-
nected with her trip, and in crossing
the Colorado desert her wheel broke
down and she had to walk eighty-one
miles into Yuma. Her wheel was pune
tured at Maricopa and she had to
take the train for this city.
Miss Londonderry is bound by an
ironclad contract and must earn every
penny she receives. She is not allowed
to leave a town with a cent, but must
send all money ahead. She makes her
expenses by lecturing and giving eX-
hibitions on her wheel. She will give
an exhibition this aftrnoon at the park
of fancy and trick riding. A nominal
admission fee viii be charged. She
has become famous and no doubt a
good crowd will attend out OF curiosity.
She expects TO leave tomorrow morn

RELEASE OF BURNS.
why the Great Player Left the
MinneapOIis Team.

The reason why Jim Burns was re-
leased from Minneapolis has leaked
out 1t was not because he couldn't
play ball. as the people of the Twin
Cities have had satisfactorily demon
strated to the contrary, but becaa Use of
his friendship for John Barnes. Burns
and Barnes have been friends for years
and the first man Barnes went after
when he secured the Minneapolis fran
chise was Jim Burns, who knocked
that home run on Monday and won
the game. The day previous to Burns
release, he and number of players
were in AIurphy's saloon and Barnes
name was mentioned. One or two of
the party, in order to strengthen them
selves with Murphy, uttered a sharp
criticism of Barnes and it made Burns
mad.
Let me tell you fellows something"
he said, with considerable warmth,
you pain me when you talk that way,
and 1 want to tell you that there isn't
one in your party fit to black John
Barnes Shoes
Next morning Burns was released.

WOMEN AS WHALERS.
To See That They Don't Stay
Gut Late.
New York Press.


New York Press.
Old New Bedford whalers never be.
lieved in taking their wives with them
on voyages to the North This OBJ
lection was because of the inconven-
fence Of housing females with any de-
gree of comfort on board the old-time
whaling barks, which were devoid OF
anything like comfort. But the advent
of the steam whaler has. changed many
phases of the business of whaling, an6
whaling steamers are now built with
accommodations that suit the most
fastidious of modern seamen. The
craft boasts of apartments that are
even luxurious in some vessels.
The whaling fleet of 1894 is not spend
ing its season in the ice of the far
North with none but men to tramp the
decks and watch the queer prismatic
pranks Of the aurora. Five Of the
steam feet have women on board, and
these women have learned to enjoy
the sight of ice path and hammock,
and actually send word that they are
well and happy.
The women Of the Pacific whaling
feet are Mrs. Weeks, OF the Thrasher;
Mrs. Cook, of the Navarch; Mrs. Por-
ter, Of the Jesse H. Freeman; Mrs.
Sherman, OF the Beuga, and Mrs.
Green, of the Alexandra.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The st. Peter and Mankato teams
having defeated the crack st. Paul
clubs, ii becomes necessary for the
honor of our city TO show them that

ONE GRAND, SWEET SONG.
Verses and Music Founded on
GeveIand5s Words

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-That line in
President Cleveland's answer to a let
ter of congratulation from another
parent, Life is one grand sweet
song" has inspired Edward Dsering to
write verses with it for the refrain
and to set the whole to music. He
sent the first copy of his work to the
president, who wrote to him yesterday
the following:
Dear Sir-I have received the music
you kindly sent me, and desire to
thank you for it and for the friendly
expressions contained in the letter ac-
companying.

THREE FAvoRITEs WON.
AzOte and Fantasy to Race at
Buffalo Today


BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-The re-
markable feature about today's racing
at the grand circuit meet was that
three favorites won. The sport was
comparatively tame and the crowd
correspondingly small. In order to
stimulate the attendance during the re-
mainder of the meeting a special race
between Azote and Fantasy has been
scheduled for tomorrow. Corbett is to
appear Thursday, and Fitzimmons, if
he will consent, on Friday. The Ham
Inns threaten if the attendance does
not improve to abandon the meeting
next year, or until betting is permit
ted again in this state. Ell Rami went
out three times in the 2:30 trot and was
never headed. Bright Regent had
quite an easy victory in the pace. as
Johe was the only one to make il i1x
terest1ng for him, and he was wretch
edly driven in the first and second
meats, finishing weak. For the third
heat, Dick Curtis was put up beside
him and finished on Regents wheel.
thereby getting a piece of the money.
Iron Bar had a dangerous field TO
contend against in the last race, and
II IS greatly to his credit that he won
out under the circumstances. His
victory marks him as one of the best
prize winners OF the circuit thus far
