SCULLfNG A WHALE.
Senator Yale Rivals the Story of
Jonah and the Whale.


Jonah and the Whale.
Senator Yale Representative Tallman
and Rev. L. G. Ahlstrom, who is a
member of the house from Hennepin
county, are a trio who often engage in
good-natured argument as to the au
thenticity of the Bible. One evening
last week they came together on a
Great Northern train, and the favorite
subject was taken up Tallman is an
old newspaper man, and a Wag of the
| first water, but Yale is something of a
story teller himself. Between the two
they kept the Minneapolis preacher
legislator pretty well keyed up. He
was holding his own very nicely until
Tallman brought up the Bible narra-
tive of Jonah and the whale. The
Ramsey county man was making a
strong plea against the possibility of
such an occurrence, and Ahlstrom en-
trenched himself behind the assertion
that all of the Bible must be believed,
| or none. This did not satisfy Senator
Yale, and he came to the rescue with
this story
81 once heard of a man." said the
senator, "Who had even stranger ex
perience than Jonah. He was sailor,
attached to a whaling vessel and one
day while trying to capture big
| whale, the boats crew was tossed high
in the air by the monsters tail. This
sailor 1 speak of stuck to his oar, and
as he fell back into the water the
whale swallowed him.. The tar still
stuck to his oar, and on finding him
self in the whales interior he began to
| take his bearings. Of course no one
l. but "a tough old salt would have
thought of such thing; but when he
had located the stern end Of the whale
the sailor went to work to make an
opening just under the tail. He finally
succeeded in making an aperture large
enough to allow him to run out the oar
he had stuck to with such grim deter
mination.1s The whale was so much
surprised by this proceeding that he
lay still and lost the momentum with
which he had been travelling. Then
the sailor went to work with vim
and after a long struggle succeeded in
sculling the whale to shore. He at
once went forward and tickled the
whales throat to make him open his
mouth. Then with his oar he propped
the jaws to keep them from closing
on him. 1t was but the work of a
moment to step out, and he at once pro-
ceeded to kill his captive. The pro-
ceeds made him rich, as sailors go, and
the people sent him to the legislature"
T. Rev. Ahlstrom looked hard at the
senator but the latter never ''batted
his eye" Tallman gravely asserted he
had seen the skeleton of that whale in
a dime museum, with the story printed
on it's nose Then the Minneapolis
man rose and left the party with a
prayer on his lips and sorrow in his
heart Yale and Tallman opened
grip and took dose of nervine, which
the newspaper man always carries.

to secure a larger assembly room.
Plans Of the proposed new wing, and
also of the contemplated alterations,
were examined by the committee at the
time of its visit to St. Cloud, last Fri
day. They met with general ap-
proVal.
After examination of the school the
legislators were given a dinner at the
normal home and were afterward
shown through the house, so that they
might see for themselves just how it
is managed. They found everything in
admirable order, from kitchen to gar
ret. If a vote could have been taken
after the dinner had been eaten st.
Cloud would most assuredly be given
the $4,000 she asks for the new wing
and the alterations in the main build
ing. Representative Boobar has pro-
vided in his bill for the exact amount
needed, instead of stating a larger
sum, in the expectation of having it cut
by the committee. Inasmuch as Gov.
Nelson vetoed the appropriation grant
ed st. Cloud two years ago. the people
of that city expect that their moderate
demand will be readily complied with
by the present Legislature.
At st. Cloud Representative Craig and
the GLOBE man were most Hospitality
treated at the home of Gen. and Mrs.
Mitchell The general and Mrs Mitch.
ell are among the Oldest settlers OF
Minnesota, and although both are we'll
along in years they are entertainers
who make a guest feel perfectly at

doors. The Misses Gray, Craig and
Peterson, who make their home at
Gen. MitchelPs, are also entitled to the
thanks of the GLOBE for courtesies
extended.

AT THE THEATERS.

Judging from the roarS of laugh
ter and showers of applause be-
slowed upon Eddie Foy at the Metro
politan opera house last evening, Mr..
Foy is strictly and emphatically ION
the earth and in high favor. After
all, the people render the verdict
that defies all dispute. They have
long ago pronounced Eddie F'oy the
king of burlesquers, and they reaf-
firmed that proposition last night.
Those who would analyZe the meth
DDS of a funny man are expending
time and thought without avail. If
he is funny, there's an end ont, !"
True, he may not excite the rislbil-
tiles of every individual nature, but
if the masses are tickled, the man
who cannot laugh is to be pitied. He
may urge that the wit is not subtle
enough to capture him, but that
signifies nothing but a lack of capac-
ity to appreciate the comic. No
one, for instance, would accuse a
prominent and able tragedian accus-
toned to study and digest the mar
velOuS sentiments of Shakespeare
with a lack of good taste and ready
appreciation of wit and mirth, and
it was noticeable that Thomas Keene
enjoyed Mr.. Foy's performance
hugely last night. So did everybody
else, if the demonstrations of the
audience are any criterion. In "Off
the Earth Mr.. Foy is unhampered
and free to be funny. He was ire
sistible last night. There was a

AT the Grand-oid Glory.

A good audience was delighted at
the Grand last night by the first
representation in this city of 'Old
Glory" a naval comedy drama by
William A. Brady. AS indicated by
the title, it is a patriotic play, and
through it was a vein of excellent
comedy. The scene is laid in Chill,
during the recent trouble between
that country and the United States.
Through the intrigue of Hiram Law
ton, in exciting the natives against
Americans, Robert Adams, who is
in love with the daughter of the
United States consul at Valparaiso,
death. But just as the execution is
about to take place, the cruiser
Baltimore appears in port. 1t is
night time, and in order to prevent
his plot from being interfered with
by the presence of the vessel, Law
which is approached by rope
bridge. puts out the light, and then
cuts the main bridge SO that no one
can get to the lighthouse to replace
the light and save the vessel from
running on the rocks. But the con-
sul's daughter takes in the situati tion
rushes- to the top of the steep bluff
and works herself hand over hand
on rope that still remains across
the chasm to the lighthouse, replaces
the light and saves the vessel, which,
in turn, protects the life of her
lover. The scene is very realistic,
the big cruiser appearing in the dis
tance firing her signal guns, and
slowly approaching the rocks, which
are only avoided by the replacing of
the light. James Horne'S work in
the role of Robert Adams is very
clean and effective, and George
Gaines Alvarado is very meritorious.
John Coleman is an eccentric comed-
ian, who should need no introduce
ton here, and the Jeremiah Flip he
'portrays is an irresistably humorous
character Miss Louise Montrose
shares the honorS in the comedy
work, and is especially good in her
pickaninny dance. Together they
form bright pair. Miss Mildred
Holland is a young actress of much
promise, with charming personality
and an excellent conception of the
role of May Harvey, the consul's S
daughter. The rest are good. The
play is well staged throughout. 1t
will occupy the week.

The country paper is to the local
ity in which it is published exactly
what the daily papers are to the
great cities. If a wholesaler receives
a proposition for credit from coun-
try merchant he consults first the
commercial book of rating, and Sec
ond the newspapers in the town
where the merchant resides. The
rating shows what the merchant is
worth in dollars, while the adver-
tisement in the paper shows what he
is worth in brains and enterprise,
and the latter consideration cuts
quite as prominent a figure in the
matter of the extension of credit as
does the mere question of dollars
and cents to the merchants credit
at the bank. A merchant may lose
his money, but if he possesses the
energy and talent which usually
find their expression in the form of
advertising, he has that of which
no panic can rob him, and which is
safe from the attacks of even dis
honest cashiers.

WINONA,S PRIDE.
Oldest of the Schools. Yet Has No
Normal Home

Normal Home.
While the Winona normal is not de-
manding an appropriation for a home
of this legislature, that is the desire
that lies closest to the heart of the
management. President Shepard
dwelt especially upon it in speaking to
the legislators at the time of their
visit The number Of lady students in
attendance makes it quite difficult to
obtain desirable boarding places at a
rate that all can pay. Naturally, the
management exercises considerable
authority in the matter of where stu
dents shall board, and numbers of
them are now compelled to live at
rather long distances from the school
Such a home as Winona needs could
not be built and furnished short of
$40, 900 to $4,000. 1t is doubtful there
fore, if the building of such home
will even be considered by the present
managers of legislation, because "econ-
omy'' is the war cry and "a record"
the ambition of the loudest takers and
the cheese-paring critics.
AS before stated in the GLOBE, S22,-
900 is the amount of money that Wi
mona asks for this year, to cover a de-
ficiency and allow something for need
ed repairs and improvements.

TO the cfJ1eS OF Cne SCdC6 general
charter law, the league, entirely OBJ
livious to the contradiction involved,
added to this resolution proV1So
that this law should only be operat-
i've on those cities which accepted 1t.
The action of this league, as Well
as that of every civic federation all
over the country which is discuss
ing municipal legislation, is nat
denial of the doctrine of state SOW
ereignty, and an emphatic assertion
Of the right of home rule. Inc
league was reluctant Ito give to
Senator Sheehan's home rule bill it's
Endorsement, but every step IL TOOK,
every resolution it adopted. ana
every speech made in it, was log-
ical support of Mr.. Sheehan's meas
ure The leading resolution adopted
is absurd on any other theory than
that of the right of municipality
to frame it's own charter and laws.
To ask the state to pass a general
law, and then leave it optional with
the cities to accept or reject 1t, Is
the plainest declaration for nome
rule. If the municipality is capable
of judging the action Of the legls-
lature, deciding whether it wishes
to accept it or not, why is not the
same municipality capable in the
first instance to frame the charter
in itself?
There was force and logic in the
argument of Senator Sheehan before
the league which should also be in
fiuential in the legislature. All eX-
perience indicates that the indivld-
ual characteristics Of our different
cities are so unlike each other that
a general law cannot be passed
which will provide in all it's details
a government satisfactory to all.
The only general law possible would
be a broad one, mere outlines, leav-
ing to the cities power to fiji in the
details. But even this is impossible.
Any general law would necessarily
be a compromise of conflicting opin-
ions on vital points. Like all COM
promises, it would suit none. The re-
suit would be continued agitation and
further attempted amendments. If,
as a result of this compromising, a
general law is enacted which is ac-
ceptable to some of the cities Of the
state, but, say, repugnant to st.
Paufsentiment, it will tie st. Paul up
beyond any possibility of relief be-
cause the cities to which it is ac-
ceptable will prevent any amend
ment.
The trainers of the amendment of
1891 builded much wiser than they
knew In striking down the evil of
special legislation, they broke down
the barriers which barred the way
to municipal self-rule. Previous to
this the cities had been enjoying a
sort of home rule in an indirect and
imperfect way through the action of
their delegations in the legislature.
In a hampered and hobbled way the
individuality of the different cities
developed under this system.
The result is individuality which
insists on maintaining its integrity.
Now that a special act for each is
no longer possible, each resolves to
preserve it's peculiar ideas. None
will compromise. The inevitable re-
suit must be the REIMBURSEMENT by
the state Of the assumed power to
provide for cities the governmental
machinery and it's remission to it's
original source from whom it should
never have been taken, the people of
each municipality

own personal and peculiar views
upon the Minneapolis Tribune as
a self-constituted mouthpiece for

1t is predicted that the lumber
product of Minnesota for this year
will be 20 per cent in excess of that
of any previous year. This may be
due to natural causes, and then
again it may be due to the fact that
lumbermen find it so much cheaper
to settle with the pine land commit
tee than it is to settle with the land
commissioner of the state.

About the only sympathy Harry

from certain emotional females who

of one of these sweet things-and
then the public will feel more in

same old impractical way by men

cured by legislation. If the Princess

wheat cake for a head-covering, all
