SEEN FROM NEW YORK.
Editor Danass Paper on the Car
niyal Fire King,

It's all over now. Gov. Clough might
as well spike his guns before they fall
into the hands of the enemy. The New
York Sun, that ever-Watchful paper,
which has saddened the latter years of
Grover Cleveland as effectually as it
raised the birch bark pants of j. Adam
Bede from their loWly tepee to the bur-
nished battlements of fame. has es-
poused the candidacy of William
Henry Eustis. Mr.. Dana seems to
have given the matter his personal at
tention, for he prints the Minneapolis
policy founders name in small caps,
and cheers him on his campaign with
the jolliest music that ever has flown
from the office cats gall-dipped pen.
Examine it for yourself. No trouble
to show goods
New York Sun.
Halcyon times in st. Paul. Borealis Rex
in command of Fort Karnival, which is COM
posed of ice, is assailed by the Fire King, who
was composed of the Hon. William Henry
Eustis, whose word is a sword of fire and
whose backbone is range OF rocky noun
tains." 1t was a great sight In the words
of our esteemed contemporary, the st. Paul
Dispatch:
1T was a sight not to be missed never to
be forgotten-the fountains of varl-hued light,
the flaming festoons blazing against the sky,
the beautiful revolving geometrical figures,
the serpentine glare of the rockets, the sprays
of beautiful stars, the incandescent comet
ike eHectS, the powerful illuullildIlS, IHe cat
aract of fire, ali to the accompaniment of
booming artillery. Standing there in rapt adj
miration. the untutored red man, huddled
into his fiery blanket, was no more interested
than was the prosaic paleface with the rapidly
freezing feet"
The ice fort melted SO fast before the fam
ing onset of the Hon. William Henry Eustis
that he had TO have fort of sawdust built
around him. His face was painted afterward,
and he was made Sioux in good and regular
standing. The ceremonies that followed are
faithfully described by the st. Paul o b e
Then everybody insisted upon the Fire
King taking unto himself wife, AS a white
man nobody has prevailed upon him to do so
graceful thing, but now that he had become
a Red Man., which was the name the Indians
gave him, he could not refuse. So he chose
a buxom Sioux maiden from the group. She
came eagerly forward and grasped William
Henrys hand. And as they stood side by side
and hand in hand the Indians danced around
them with manifestations Of great delight.
And so they were married.
''At the conclusion of the Indian ceremony
the bridegroom inclined his head toward his
blushing Minnehaha as though he would fain
have imprinted a nuptial kiss upon her lip.
The spectators were in suspense when the
bridegroom hesitated. The bride saw that
something would be lost if she hesitated and
without any warning she threw her arms
about the neck of the Fire King and gave him
a resounding smack. This sealed the COM
pact and convulsed the spectators.
The Hon. William Henry Eustts sported and
let the time fleet merrily as in the golden age.
All Minnesota Indians of full age can now be
depended upon to boom him for governor.

HAVE TO SUE FOR IT
THOMAS A. HUNT BEGINS AN AC-
TION TO RECOVER LIFE IN
SURAECE
CARRIED BY COL. T. w. HUNT.
SUIT WHICH RECALLS THE SUD-
DEN DEATH OF THE COLONEL
LAST FALL.
ONE OF THE COMPANIES PAYS UP.
Bankers, of Des Moines, and Others,
However, VIII Contest the
Claim in the Courts.

Thomas A. Hunt, an insurance agent,
residing at 1861 Hague avenue, in this
city, through attorneys T. T. Fauntleroy
and M. F. Mcdonald, has just begun
in st. Louis, the first Of the suits to
obtain the full amount of the large
policies which became due the both of
last September, at the death, in this
city, Of Col. Thomas w. Hunt, father
Of the plaintiff. Col. Hunt died very
suddenly one morning. Premiums to
a large amount were said to be due
the same day, on the policies which he
carried and whose face value was the
unusual aggregate Of $1,000. There
was even some rumor of suicide and it
was reported that Col. Hunt had at
tempted to end his life few weeks be-
fore in st. Louis by throwing himself
from moving train. An autopsy
made by Deputy Coroner MacNamara
and several other physicians revealed
that the colonePS heart was much dis
eased and enlarged to notable de-
gree. It's condition might have caused
his sudden death at any moment.
However, much of the insurance car
ried by Col. Hunt had been secured
within few months, and so far as
known, no criticism Of his physical con-
dition had been made by the examin-
ing physicians of the insurance COM
panies. The fall from the car was eX-
planned as an accident.
One circumstance which at the time
caused surprise when the amount Of
the policies was announced was that
Col. Hunt had not, for years, been con-
Sidered man Of means and was, when
he died, employed as a solicitor for a
publishing company in ST. Louis.
Shortly after Col. Hunts death
claim was advanced against his estate
by Mrs. Ada Wilson McCue, Of st.
Louis. She asserted that she had been
his friend and had assisted him to the
extent of loaning him no less than $685.
600. With a part Of this money, she
said, he had insured his life and had
transferred to her claim on his insuf-
ance policies equal to the whole amount
that he had borrowed. Mrs. McCue's
claim was made in the form Of a prospec-
tive law suit against the colonePS eS-
tate. The papers were drawn up, but
proceedings have not yet been insti-
tuted
Various companies had issued the pol
cies on the life of Col. Hunt. Six weeks
ago the Bankers Life association, of
this city, waived all formalities and
paid the full amount of it's policy, $4,000.
The suit just brought in st. Louis is
against the Bankers Life Association
of Des Moines. 1t is uncertain what
course will be- adopted by the other
companies today, which is the limit set
by law for the payment of their poll
cies, if justly due. 1t is understood
that all the companies now interested
will act in concert.

PINE CITY IS FOXY.
RAILROADS A $4,000 JAIL
THROUGH THE STATE BOARD
OF CORRECTIONS.
pINCKLEY WANTED IT ALSO,
AND NOW THE COUNTY SEAT WAR
PROMISES TO WAX MERRIER
STILL.
FULLERTON HAS MR.. ANS, FISH
Consequently He Declines the New
Workers. Offer to Give Him the
Sailed F1nny.

One Of the matters brought before
the state board of corrections and
charities on Thursday was the request
of the commissioners of Pine county
for advice as to the building of a new
Jail, a request which was complied
with with the usual alacrity While
the recommendation of the board has
nothing to do with it, it is entirely
probable that the Jail will be built at
Pine City, which is the county seat.
Hinckley wants the county seat, and
it is claimed by the denizens of the
Phoenix city that they will accom-
plish the removal almost as effectively
as the fire fiend effected the removal
of their own town on one occasion
Pine City has not been talking with
so much assurance, but it appears
that the unburned community has been
saving a few sections of timber mean
time, and the contemplated erection
it hopes has been driven into the coffin
of the ambitious Hinckley. The coun-
ty commissioners are now free to go
ahead with the building of the Jail,
and as it, especially as recommended
by the state board will be quite a
substantial structure, its removal will
be one of the most important obsta-
cles to the removal of the county seat.
If the Pine Cityans get their Jail fin
ished before the Hinckley folk can get
their special election, then the charm
ing city by Chengwatona's water will
feel that the chances of moving the
county capital are greatly decreased.
A $4,000 jail. in county with as much
open country as has Pine, is a cOnsid-
Grafton not to be despised
Said Secretary Hart, of the board of
corrections and charities, yesterday:
''The matter is one over which this
board has no control. 1t would seem
that the Pine City people, however,
were a little foxy, for experience of
other county seats has been that where
they were equipped with substantial
county buildings they were pretty we'll
able to combat the opposition sue
cessfuly. There are few county build
ings more permanent in their charac-
ter than the modern jails whose con-
struction is authorized by this board"

FULLERTON AND HIS FISH.
They Arouse New Yorker to
Heights of Generosity.

Executive Agent Fullerton, of the
state game and fish commission, yes
terday received a call from an attor-
ney named Beckhofer, the legal adj
wiser Of the man Ans, who is wanted
by the state of Minnesota for violation
of the game laws. If Ans should come
into the state and suffer the minimum
penalty for everys bird and bit of meat
that the state has charged against
him, it would be apt to keep him in
debt all the rest of. his life, but the
game and fish commission made him
an offer to discharge the cases on a
basis of settlement sufficiently large
not to lessen the dignity of the state,
although it did diminish the severity
of the punishment.
Mr. Ans, however, without hesita-
ton, yesterday volunteered as a basis
Of settlement:
'Well give you the fish"
Give us the fish," replied Mr.. Full
lerton. ''Ha ha. We've got 'em. Ha-
ha." And the gentleman from Duluth
laughed heartily as he coolly over
turned all the New Workers. well-in-
tended, but misguided, efforts to be gen
erouS.

BILLS FOR GARBAGE.
Two of Them Are Temporarily in
the Air.

Two of Them Are Temporarily in
the Air.
The board of aldermen committee on
claims met yesterday afternoon, and,
after passing the routine bills, consid-
cred the bill of the Capital Garbage
company for December, 1885, Health
Commissioner Stone, who refused to
audit this bill, which amounts to 1897. so,
appeared before the committee and ex-
planned his refusal. DR.. Stone stated
that he withheld his signature because
he was not satisfied that the contract
had been performed. The committee
accordingly deferred action until DR..
Stone shall have ascertained that the
acre of ground on the north side, which
was reported to be covered with gar
bage, has been cleared of the material.
The January bill of Fielding & Shep-
ley, the present garbage contractors,
was referred to the corporation attor-
ney, inasmuch as the claim is for the
monthly proportion of the entire con-
tract, whereas the delay of the coun-
Gil in awarding the contract prevented
the contractors from beginning work
until Jan. 20. Since that date the con-
tractors say they have removed all
the garbage accumulated during The
month. Their bill is $1,22708 Aid.
Hare insisted that they were entitled
to months pay, as they had en-
ployed extra men and teams, and there
by accomplished all the work The
sum of $77.90 owing to the temporary
contractors for removing the dead ami
mails during the past month will prob
ably be deducted from the garbage
contractors bill.

exandria and others of an equal early
date refer to it. The festival is placed
forty days from Christmas, as that
was the interval directed by the law
between the day of birth and the day
when the mother presented herself for
readmission to the congregation, and
her infant Son for an offering to the
Lord. It was upon this occasion that
Simeon gave to the church that beauti-
full canticle which is sung every Sun
day evening, the ''Nunc Dimittis,' or
Lord, now lettest- thou thy servant
depart in peace" The submission of
the Blessed Virgin to the ceremony of
publication, and of her Divine Son to
that Of presentation, were each of them
an illustration of the perfect humilia-
ton of the Lord to the likeness Of sin
full man. The miraculous conception
of the Virgin had been unattended by
that for which a ceremonial purifica-
ton was ordained; and the Blessed
Lord, having no original sin, needed
not to be offered (or presenteO and
brought back again. But as at His
baptism, SO now, for Himself and for
His holy mother He says by their
acts.
The popular name of this festival
is that Of ''Candlemas Day." perpetu-
ating a very ancient custom of walk
ing in procession with tapers and sing
ing hymns. In homily on the purifi-
cation Alcuin says "a. D. 1900:
1.-THE whole multitude of the
city collecting together devout-
ly celebrate the solemnity Of
the mass, bearing a vast number
Of wax lights, and no one enters any
public place in the city without taper
in his hand" st. Bernard ca. D. 1853
mentions the same custom in his day
Of going in procession, two by two,
bearing tapers and singing hymns.
1t is frequently charged up against
the English and Episcopal churches
that they show no honor or reverence
to the mother of the Blessed Lord.
This is not true, for the calendar men
lions two festivals in honor of the
Blessed Virgin, the one already cited
and 1.-The Annunciation," sometimes
called Lady Day." In hymns ancient
and modern the hymn for this festival
runs:
'Shall we not love thee, mother, dear
Whom Jesus loved so well,
And in His temple year by year,
Thy joys and glory foretell?"
Both churches honor her whom the
angels called blessed, but they do not
render to ner that honor and worship
which they claim belongs to her Son.

NOW IN BOOK FORM.
Proceedings of the state Charities
and Corrections Meeting.

frOceeU1nSS OF tne STATE
and Corrections Meeting.
The proceedings of the fourth Mime
sofa state conference of charities and
corrections, held at Faribault last Oc-
tober, were issued yesterday. in PAM
phlet form. The high position which
the work of that conference has taken
among penalogists and philanthropists
the world over is shown by the fact
that the Charities Review has reprint
ed three of the papers-those on unbal-
anced people, by F. H. Wines; on the
defective classes, by A. G. Wright, and
on the care of the adult feeble minded,
by Ernest Bickneil. Lend a Hand has
also reprinted some Of them. Other
interesting features of the report are
the papers by r. A Mott on the in
huence of party politics on state insti-
tutions, and by E. A. Fay on free en-
ployment bureau; by DR.. G. E. Riggs,
on the care of the insane outside Of
asylums; by Judge Willrich, on Mime
sofa laws concerning the commitment
of children, and by w. w. Butchart,
on Juvenile reformation. Mr.. Butchart
says, among other things:
With regard to the first known juvenile
crime. A child criminally inclined is with
out moral strength; hence, study should be
made of the child and the nature OF the Of
tense. discrimination should be made be-
tween vagrancy, theft, incorrigibility and
vicious temper; but for either cause for the
first offense I favor severe punishment. No
matter what the cause, whether prosecuted at
the instance of the parents or otherwise, when
the child is lost sight of within the jail
walls the strain upon the parental heart
strings is too great Love and pity override
all Accompanied by friends they haunt the
Jail with their presence and extend to the
child sympathy, regret, coincidence. They de-
LUCE him with unaccuStomed fruits and con-
fections until the child himself imagines he is
deeply imposed upon and is a martyr. l sug-
gest the placing of the child alone in separ-
prison rules; isolate him from all visitors
treat him firmly yet kindly; impress upon him
that the punishment for the evildoer is un-
pleasant indeed. In other words, administer
strict punishment, and withal exert every
means for reformation. The impressions thus
made will, in my opinion, be lasting indeed,
and there will be less juvenile recommit-
mentS.

SOCIAL, BUT NOT FRIVOLOUS.
Interesting and Charitable Field of
Il Set on the Hill.

Set On the Hill.
There is a quiet little society Of
women on ST. Anthony hill which is
doing worlds of good and not saying
word about it. The society has no
name, but is organized under the Scrip
tural quotation: Let not thy right
hand know what thy left hand doeth. -
The club meets every two weeks and
spends the afternoons making gar
ments for needy ones the members
have looked up between meetings: One
or two families are hunted up where
there Is illness or lack of employment
and taken under the charge of the
club until placed on their feet
again. Then quietly and unob-
trusively the women look up another
and another family, bringing happi-
ness and comfort into many homes.
Not only do they sew for those they
care for, but the women with car
riages offer the luxury of afternoon
drives to the sick and weary. jellies
and broths are conveyed, sometimes
secretly to those confined to the house,
and employment is obtained for those
without work. All for the pleasure of
doing good. And not a word is said
about it.
