Of the sermon, looked repeatedly at his
watch. just as he was in the act of ex-
aiming his timepiece for the fourth or
fifth time. the pastor, with great earn

conscience OF his hearers. Young
man." said he. how is it with you?"
Whereupon the young man with the

Constantinople. Sept. 17.-Turkish
official circles have issued circular in
which they say they cannot understand
either the blind rage of the English
press against the Turkish government
or the sympathy expressed for the Ar
menian anarchists. whose plans are
merely a repetition of the bomb-throw-
ing the IrishFenians and their menac-
ing of English buildings for the purpose
of compelling the British government

formed an infamous coalition with

A comparison between English and
American pantomiIae win result favor
ably il many particulars for the Amer
lean. because novelty is sadly lacking
in the former, says an exchange. The
English clown makes his appearance on
the stage with Here we are again"
with a certainty that only equals the

and all other funny people are as stere-
otypcd IN three meals a day, and our
cousins across the water look upon them
with open-eyed establishment year
after year, with a stoicism that borders
on the ridiculous. If the same tactics
were followed by purveyors Of that class
of entertainment here. how long would
It last? With the American unsuitable
thirst for novelty we should say but a
very short time.
Pantomimists like the famous Girl

from Boston, Chicago and St Louis, with
indications they may continue through
ont the month At the more important
northwestern eenters larger sales Of hats,
shoes, hardware and drugs are reported
although the total Is less than in the ike
portion Of last year. Much Of the gain

Sustain the Management.

A meeting of G. A. r. men was held
in Rawlins post hall at Minneapolis, to
take action in regard to an article
which recently appeared in one of the
city papers which quite severely scored
the management of the soldiers home
at Minnehaha for taking nearly all of
the inmates to the parade in St Paul
last Wednesday, and leaving several of
the oldest VETERANS to show the insti-
tuition to the numerous visitors Reso-
lutions were drawn up stating that the
soldiers who were left behind were too
feeble to care to attend the parade,
although carriages would have been
provided for their conveyance, and
that, moreover, there were very few
visitors at the home that day. The
resolution also express the utmost con-

No state Ticket.

At a meeting of the state central
committee of the national democrats it
was decided to abandon the idea of
naming a state ticket. While there
are some members of the committee
who favor such a step, in the opinion
of the majority it was not advisable.
1t was further decided not to inter
fere with the congressional situation
by naming candidate in any of the
districts However, the committee
unanimously agreed to name an cleo
toral ticket. and this was done. The
names of those chosen were not given
out for publication, and il was deemed
wisest to ascertain whether the gentle
men named would serve, and whether
any of them were Ineligible for the
