FALLING OFF In ALL WARDS.
REPUBLICAN FIRST WARD SHY.

The G presents to its readers this
morning the unofficial tables showing the
total registration for the coming election,
which closed at o'clock last night The
hgures given in the tables are not exact,
as in some instances they were obtained a
half hour before the registration books
closed, and in such case an estimate was
made of the number which would register be-
tween the time the number was taken and the
registration closed. The official figures. es-
pecially of the Eighth ward, will doubtless
show some increase of those appended
the total registration is &c, ,66S, as against
SC,S26 in the spring of 1884, and Is, ,1S3 in the
fall of 1884. The registration in the spring
OF 1884 is, however, hardly a fair compar-
ison, for it is well understood that in the
First ward in the spring of 1894 large
number of voters were imported from Wash
ington and other counties to help out the
same candidate who now heads the Republi-
can ticket. AS compared with the vote cast
in the spring of 1894, the registration this
year is 1,e95 less.
In the First ward, the so-called Republi-
can stronghold, the registration is 644 less
than in the spring Of 1894, and 1888 less than
the vote cast at the same election
In the Second ward the registration is S1
less than in the spring of 1894, and 1856 short
of the vote cast
In the Third ward the registration is 375
less than the registration in the spring of
1894, and 1SS less than the vote cast
In the Fourth ward the registration is
4O1 less than in the spring of 1894 and 1873
less than the vote cast
In the Fifth ward the registration is 800
less than in the spring of 1884, and 15S less
than the vote cast.
In the Sixth ward the registration Is 4a5
less than in the spring of 1894 and 37l less
than the vote cast The decrease in this
ward, the home of Doran is an indication
that the claim of the Republicans about a
large majority for their candidate is not well
founded.
In the Seventh ward the registration is
within Al of the registration in the sprnig
of 1894 and 81 less than the vote cast The
slight decrease in the registration in the
Seventh ward is explained by the fact that
in the last year or so the increase in the
population of the ward has been increased
by removals from other wards to this sec
ton of the city. In consequence Of this
the registration cannot be said to indicate
Republican gains.
In the Eighth ward the registration is 72S
less than in the spring Of 1894 and 454 less
than the vote cast.
In the Ninth ward the registration is POI
less than in the spring of 1894 and q less
than the vote cast
In the Tenth ward the registration is 70
less than in the spring of 1894 and is less
than the vote cast.
In the Eleventh ward the registration is
93 less than in the spring of 1894 and 40 less
than the vote cast.
Following are the figures:

but if it was ever signed, one thing is GER
tain, and that is that action was ever
taken by the city to compel the delinquent
contractor or his sureties to undo the wrong
he had done.
+ Poetry is all right in its place, and the ex-
tent of its fear is not a subject to be
argued here, but would it not be well for the
present city comptroller, when he is tempted
to recite short verses about the watch dogs
welcome bark, in his own soul-stirring stac-
cato would it not be better for him to step
down where the audience can hear him and
answer these few questions: -.
Why was this work done without a proper
contract, and a bond to indemnify the tax
payers of the city Of st. Paul against such
losses?
Why was there not a bond to insure the
perfection of the work contracted for?
Why was the contractor paid for more work
than was done?
Why was the contractor paid for work
which was not done in compliance with the
specifications?
Why was he paid at all pending the trial
of suit for infringement of patent, when
the city was without recourse, as after
wards developed?
Why does not the watch dogs welcome
bark betray the approach of the marauder
as we'll as the city's servitor, the policeman
or the fireman?

Tie on the Track.

WINONA, Minn., April 25-An evident at-
tempt to wreck the vestibuled train on the
Milwaukee road was made last night between
Kellogg and Weaver. A tie was placed across
the track in such manner as would prob
ably have derailed the southbound vestibuledi
train, almost due. 1t was, however, struck
by northbound freight and thrown from the
rails without any damage to the train. Near
the spot four men were seen standing to-
gether. The vestibule crew were notified by
the freight hands at Kellogg and ran slowly
to Weaver, but no further trouble was met.

Little Interest in Freund,s trial.

Special to the Globe.
FAIRMoNT, Minn., April 25-This morning
at o'clock the trial in the Freund ober
case proceeded. There seems to be little or
no interest in the case. At no time during
the day were the seats in. the court room
half occupied. The testimony pursues the
same lines it did in the former trial, with the
exception of a DR.. Smart, who did not tes-
tify before. He corroberated the testimony
of DR.. Hunt. Up to the time of closing Of
the court this evening six witnesses have
testified, giving about the same testimony as
on the former trial. At $50 court adjourned
until o'clock Monday morning.

THE CUPEY.
A West Indian Tree That Grows from
Tree Tops.


The cupey, or, as it is sarcastically
called in the English possessions, "the
attorney" is one of the most curious
as it is certainly the most picturesque
denizen of the virgin forests of the
West Indian island, says London It'd
Bits. It belongs to the parasitical fam
lily of trees or plants, but, terrible to
relate, it invariably with the basest
ingratitude destroys all life in the I'M
fortunate tree that cherishes it in it's
early growth. The seeds are borne on
the wings of the wind, and deposited
on the branches of other trees, when
they burst into roots, which are dropped
toward the ground all around the
nurse" tree. In time these roots reach
the ground and strike into the soil.
From this moment the roots grow
stronger and stronger until they re-
semble a lot of rope ladders thrown
over the tree. Next the parasite sends
down a great cord, which twines round
the trunk of the supporting tree, at first
as though in loving embrace, but it
grows tighter and tighter, eventually
st1rangling it's benefactor out of exist
ence. The nurse tree thus killed rots
to decay, and from the immense fbrous
roots of the destroyer now springs a
great trunk, which rises high into the
air. When the cupey is full grown it
presents a magnificent spectacle, for
the oord-lilze roots rise often to so or
90 feet, and support in midair the vast
tree itself.

MUST OBEY HIS OWN LAW.
Why the Bartender Refused to Sell His
Boss Drink.


Boss Drink.
Because a man makes a law he may
not always break it with impunity.
Hiram Clayton, who keeps the Branch
town hotel and is quite a well-known
character, made q rule some time ago for
the government Of his barroom, says
the Philadelphia Record. He decided
that when man went to sleep in his
barroom that was sufficient evidence
that the man had had enough to drink.
Upon awaking, therefore, the sleepy
one was promptly refused any more
liquor. The rule was rigidly inforced
both by Clayton himself and by his
brother-in-law, who acts as bartender.
One day recently, however, the rule
proved to be a boomerang. Clayton was
sitting in his barroom. It was a very
warm afternoon and the host gradually
dozed off into a sound sleep. Some
time later a customer came in. He wore
heavy boots and the noise of his
entrance awakened Clayton. The latter
sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Come an
have 'somethin', Hi,' said the customer.
Clayton stood up against the bar and
sleepily called for beer. 'Sorry," SAID
the bartender, "but you can't have any
drink" "What!" yelled Clayton, who
was now thoroughly awake. cts
against the rules; you've been asleep"
said the bartender, seriously. He stuck
to it, and his boss realizing the Justice
of it was obliged to give in. The rule
has since been abolished.

Liberality Of the Views Of the Chinese
" Statesman.
4 It is claimed that Notwithstanding
Ii Hung Chang has shown some liber-
atty of views toward modern improve
ments and education, he is at heart II
Halter of foreigners, and has an abiding
faith in Chinese institutions and meth
DDS of government. He is, it is true,
a great admirer of Confucian philos-
ophy, and remembering the enduring
history of his people we can hardly
wonder at his devotion to the institu-
tions which have made that history
possible. When we call to mind the
experience China has had with certain
western nations, it might not be con-
sidered strange if his attachment to
foreigners was not very ardent; but
in all his public life, says John W. Eos
ter in Century, his conduct shows
that he feels the need of foreign aid,
and is disposed to give it proper well
come, and Of all Chinese statesmen he
lis the most iberal-minded and free
from prejudice. He is far from claim
ing that the present system of govern
ment is perfect. He has, in fact, urged
upon the authorities at Picking two i'm
portant changes which look to a reform
of the most serious defects in the sys-
tenn; to wit, the withdrawal from the
viceroys of provinces of powers which
should be exercised only by the imperial
government, and such a change in the
method Of admission to the public serv-
ice as will iberalize the examina tons,
and make fitness rather than scholar
ship the test. There are other changes
which he would gladly bring about if
he had the power; but, as he confessed
to Marquis Ito, "China is hampered by
antiquated customs which prevent de-
sirable reforms.''

KlPLlNG'S LITTLE JOKE.
How He Gave Out a Policy for the Aus
tralians.


tra]ians.
Rudyard Kipling is usually repre-
sented as being very cold and distant to
young newspaper men, and proof
against their efforts to interview him.
There is evidently a kind side to his na-
ture, however, as is shown by story
that is told by the Literary Digest. In
regard to the statement in an Austria
liam paper that he landed on that island
at 10 o'clock and 16 minutes later chad
formulated an Australian policy" Mr..
Kipling, according to. the Digest makes
the following explanations: "a young
reporter cornered me just after /
landed. I treated him kindly, but said
firmly that was not to be inter
viewed. 4 have not thought of inter-
viewing you,' replied the reporter, with
a sadness in his voice. T ask much
greater favor than that It turned out
that the reporter had an Australian
policy which he knew would be of the
greatest benefit to the country. No
paper would print it. His modest re-
quest was that Kipling would let him
put forth his theory, as the scheme Of
the novelist. They will print it, he
said, if I give it as coming from YOU
AL right agreed Kipling, fire ahead
So the young reporter got in four
mortal columns telling the people of
Australia how to govern their count try.
I never read the ARTICLE Mr.. Kipling
placidly says, but there must have been
amazing theories in it from the storm it
raised.'"

DOLLY MADISON'S TACT. -
How She Managed to Win Everybody's
Heart.


It was the tact and genuine kindli-
ness of Dolly Madison that made her
one of the most prominent of American
women. Several episodes mentioned
in Mrs. Goodwin's ''Life of Dolly Madi-
SON. are significant of this. At one of
her levees, her attention was drawn
to rustic visitor, a youth who was
evidently suffering all the torments of
embarrassment. He had at last VEN
tured to help himself to cup of cof-
fee, when Mrs. Madison walked up and
addressed him. In the surprise of the
moment, the lad dropped the saucer and
strove to crowd the cup into his pocket.
His tactful hostess took no notice of the
accident, except to observe that in such
a crowd no one could avoid being
jostled, and straightway turned the
conversation to the boys family, and
ended by sending her regards to his
excellent mother, and bidding the serv-
ant bring another cup of coffee. On
another occasion two old ladies from
the country arrived at the white house
while the family were still at break
fast. To the surprise of the rural Wis
itors, the woman they had come to see
appeared in stuff dress of dark gray,
protected by large housewifely white
apron, and with linen kerchief pinned
about her neck. Her simplicity of
manner and attire completely swept
away their awe, and before departing
one of them found courage to ask:
perhaps you wouldn't mind if I kissed
you-just to- tell the folks about!''

SETTLED IN NOVA SCOTIA.
Colonial Americans Who Early Mad
Their Homes in Canada.


Their Homes in Canada.
Many loyalists, particularly from
New England, had fled to Nova Scotia
before the close of the war, and settled
On the spot where the city Of St. John
now stands. This gave one objective
point, at any rate, says Macmilan's
Magazine, to the much larger band of
exiles who at the peace were forced to
seek new homes at short notice; and
in a single year the new settlements
grew to some $4,000 souls. Men of all
classes focked there, officers and SOL
diers, clergymen and lawyers, farmers.
mechanics and merchants. They were
naturally much above the average of
ordinary emigrants, both in character,
education and intelligence; but all, or
nearly all, were equally destitute and
forced to begin the battle of life afresh.
A year later New Brunswick was sep
arated from Nova Scotia, endowed with
a council and home assembly, and the
capitol moved to the present site at
Fredericton.
The first council included many we'll
known New England names, such as
Putnam, Winslow, Allen and Willard.
1t included, also, a late judge of the
supreme court of New York, another
distinguished lawyer off that colony,
and several officers of the loyal regi-
ments. Both the New York and the
Virginia branch of the Robinsons, one
OF the wealthiest and most influential
families in colonial America, were here
represented, and to this day are conspic~
uous in upper Canada.
