The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-09-20

G o b e that Uncle Sam was about to
award contracts for three new battle
ships, than he started a movement to
have one of the big fighters named
after the sovereign state of Minnesota
He rushed to the telegraph office and
wired the secretary Of the navy, asking
him to consider petition which would
be forwarded asking that the name of
the old frigate Minnesota which
still floats the stars and strips, but
which is back number, be perpetuated
still floats the stars and stripes but
late last evening President Vanish re-
ceiyed the following telegram from
Assistant Secretary McAdoo:
Washington, Sept. BE. Vanish, Presi-
dent Commercial Club. St. Paul. The sec
rotary is absent in Europe, but in any event
will not select names for the new battle
ships for some time to come. Your telegram
will be shown him. There is one ship Of the
older class now known as the Minnesota and
carried on the register
William McAdoo, Acting Secretary.
President Vanish will keep the ball
rolling and will have the enthusiastic
support of every citizen Of the state.
The old ship Minnesota has seen her
last days ON the briny deep and it will
be but a short time at best before she
will go to the scrap heap. 1t is the
custom of the navy department to name
the battleships after the states and the
cruisers after the cities. Only one de-
parture has been made from this custom
thus far, and that was in naming one
of the ships now under construction
the Kearsarge in order to perpetuate
one of the historic names Of the United
States NAVY
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-09-20

noblemen. AS in "Erminie," Mr. Will
son (Tereschappe) again finds himself
i'll palace, saying and doing all kinds
OF outre things. and getting himself
more hopelessly entangled every mo-
ment, until at last, discovered, he is
flung neck and heels out of the door.
The opera derives it's name from a
playing card, the king of diamonds,
which has been torn in half One half
is found in basket, together with a.
baby Pierrette left at Tereschappe' S
door by an unknown. The secret of
the child's birth is known only to the
holder of the other half of the card,
and through it's fundamentally Pier
rette, the little singing vagabond, turns
out to be lady of high degree.
The cathedral choir gave a delight
full musical at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Hoffman on Jackson street
Thursday evening. Seventy-five guests
enjoyed the programme which was
Carefully arranged and in which some
of the best musical talent of the city
participated. Mrs. S. V. Harris and
Mrs. c. B. Yale sang 1.-THE Tuscan Folk
song" by Carracciolo. Mr.. George J.
DanZ appeared in several violin num-
bers, which were repeatedly encored.
A baritone solo, 1.-THE Will-o'-the-
Wisp," by Cherry, was given by j. G.
Myron, who was obliged to respond
Mrs. c. B. Yale sang Dudley Bucks
Sunset" and for a second number
sang Because 1 Love Thee, Dear, ;"
and later in the evening, by request,
she sang Killarney" Mona" was
charmingly given by John f. Gehan.

getting too far from the bar In my
enthusiasm, let's have another on me.
Am / blue, just speak to Swan about
that. don't like to blow my own
whistle over my accomplishments.
lay claim to being the bluest man who
ever hung a tail light or punched
ticket. / am proud of it for it Is one
or my pet hobbies that man should
excel In everything. Why sir, / got
so blue that when I turn out the gas
l can see the dirty sulphurous color
splattered all over the wall. Worse
than that, when / am feeling especial
ly strong and want to show off to my
friends. II can go into a trance and
give out blue light from my switch
lights, which by the way sir, are
usually red from excessive weeping
That is art A man should have am
bition to excel in any one thing for
which he may have an aptitude. This
is my only solace. If it was not for
the comfort that 1 get out of the fact
that l am star of greatest magnitude
in the constellation of blue stars, 1
am afraid ! would be tempted to jump
the track.
Got a 50 bill sewed up in your
clothes anywhere. Let me take it and
will show you trick" suddenly ex-
claimed Billy.
But you have purlotned my poor
purse already SIR" demurred the
scribe.
True, too true, but it's full Of beastly
silver. What l want is one of these
promises to redeem Produce it and
see something which will convince you
that | am a past grandmother in the
art of turning things blue. All, thanks
now watch this hand on the left side
of my body. Now you see the green
back is not blue-back, but an emerald
back. Now you see it and now you
don't. You will not see it again What,
not mad? Then swear a little. Oh
harder, harder, that's right, keep it
up. All, just as | thought, now even
the air is blue. You see sir, 1 know
my biz.
But as I was saying before, I am
sorry you are newspaper man. 1t
hurts my pride to think I have so

James Grace, Aged 65, Struck by an
Tnterurban Car

Interurban Car.
A man, apparently about sixty-five
years of age, who gives his name as
James Grace. but refuses to give his
place of residence, was knocked down
by an interurban car at Eighth and
Minnesota streets last night about 9
o'clock and quite seriously injured,
although it is believed he will recover.
AS far as can be learned by the spec
tators, Grace was standing on the
as the car, No. 612, on the interurban
line, came up Eighth street on is way
round the loop. He attempted to
cross in front of the car and was
struck in such manner that he was
thrown nearly twenty feet and to one
side Of the tracks. He was picked up
in an insensible condition and the by
ISLANDERS supposing him to be dead
sent for the coroner, but later he re-
vived somewhat and was taken to the
city hospital in the Central patrol wa
gon. At the hospital it was found
that, although he was cut and bruised
in several places about the head and
face, his injuries were not necessarily
OF fatal character. His principal
wounds are cut on the back of the
head, another over the left eye and one
on the left breast.
The attendants at the hospital state
that Grace had apparently been drink
ing heavily and the accident is attrib-
uted to this cause. When questioned
he refused to talk about himself fur
Their than to say that his name was
James Grace and he was not married
his dress and appearance would in
01cate that he is a labOrer
