HE DID AND HE DIDN'T.
Rev. David MOrgan's Word Against
the w. c. 7. L.

At a meeting of the Central Wo-
mems Christian Temperance union
last week. Mrs. Morrison told Of send
ing an eX-conVict who had no money
nor any place to sleep, to the Bethel
to secure quarters for him there, but
was unable to do So She said because
it was Sunday the man could not saw
wood to pay for his bed and therefore
he could get no bed
Rev. David Morgan said the next
day that there was no truth in the
story as he himself had been at the
Bethel last Sunday and neither Mrs,
Morrison nor any convict had called
that day. Mr.. Morgan said that If
man needed a bed for night and
went to the Bethel on Sunday with a
note from Mrs. Morrison or any re-
liable citizen. the person would be pro-
vided with a bed and would be asked
to do the work necessary to pay for it
the following day. He said the Bethel
was not a refuge for convicts or eX-
workhouse prisoners. although they
would not be denied place to sleep if
they were willing to work for 1t the
same as other people.
With this fiat contradiction the re-
porter for the G | b e called on Mrs.
Morrison to learn if any mistake had
been made She said it was not last
Sunday, hut one Sunday some time
ago.
She said the convict in question had
been refused by Mr. Morgan himself
for reasons given above. She said the
convict was quite young, and she was
highly indignant at Mr.. Morgan's ac-
ton. The young man upon being re-
fused returned to Mrs. Morrison not
knowing where else to go. That she
and another lady of the w. c. T. L.
gave the young man money to procure
lodging and breakfast. She said
ladies of the w. c. T U. had often
sent convicts to Mr. Morgan with a
note. and that he, as rule, sent in his
bill for lodging instead of making
them work it out. They had ceased to
send released prisoners to the Bethel.

BALTIMORE. Md, Oct 31.-Chairman AL
bert Mott, of the L. A. w. racing board. to-
day issued the following special bulletin:
The attention OF racing men and promoters
of road races is called to the fact that the
League of American Wheelmen regards racing
on the public highways as an unlawful prac-
uce and refuses to recognize and lesislate for
such form of the sport, except to forbid the
competing together therein, or pace making.

SIGNALS, or of suspended men with riders in
good standing. An amateur loses his status
as such by competing on the road under any
conditions that would PROFESSIONALISM him in
track racing-the limit of prize value and
the riders distance from home excepted.
In brief, an amateur must not compete with
a professional or pace or be paced by him
in road race. Neither must he compete
with a suspended man. An amateur must
not race for cash on the road. suspended
man who completes in a road race will have
at least year added to his suspension, and

be suspended permanently. Promoters of
road races will be held to strict accounta-
bility. They must inquire into the status of
entries, and allow none to start who are not
eligible. No sanction is required for race

shattucI5 Hopes for Revenge

Special to the Globe.
FARIBAULT, Mimi, Oct. 91.-Tomorrow
afternoon, the weather permitting, there will
be placed on the Shattuck campus probably
one of the most interesting and hardly fought
football games in the annals of Shattuck s
football history The game will be between
the elevens from Carleton and Shattuck
school. A week or so ago the Shattucks were
defeated at Mortified by the Carletons. The
h Carleton team was the heavier team of the
two by a good many pounds. and this. COM
bined with the lack of practice on the part of
Shattuck, made them victims for Carleton.
There is a promise of a change in the scores
tomorrow, barring accidents. Shattuck will
put up the best game she has put up for
years If constant practice and good training
are factors in the game.

him, and if his value to the state were
counted on the number of measures he
introduced it might seem paltry. But
the one measure he did introduce and
push through to passage was one which
corrected a shortening in the judicial
conVen1ences of his constituency, and
was of practical good. while his re-
marks on other bills for the general
reformation We're as consistent with his
record as a moulder of public opinion
as they were absolutely unheralded by
oratorical preface. If there were no
speeches longer than Manchester's, the
entire business of the session of 1897
might have been done in three weeks.

The present average decline in these twenty
stocks since Sept. IL is SA points; and, as tne
fall on Oct. 13 was 12A it follows that, with
in the last two weeks there has been an aver
age recovery of points. This has happened
pending a dull and unhopeful condition of
the market, and therefore has been little no
ticed: but it is not the less fact; ana 1t
shows that through all the late prevailing
misgivings there has been a substantial re-
covery going forward.
Conditions appear to be drifting gradually
towards further recovery, though the move
ment may be gradual and attended with con-
siderable irregularity in prices The senti-
mental influences we have noted as having
held the market in timid suspense for the last
three weeks are becoming stale ana losing
their effect. The result of the election, which
ever way it may go, is not expected to pro-
duce anything more than slight temporary
furry The msgivings in respect to the
opening of congress are so Intangible or I'M
aginary that no one cares to mentlon tnem
as a serious factor affecting securities; and
the feeling resolves itself into one of curiosity
rather than anxiety. The yellow fever is
now a measured quantity, affecting few rail
roads, but of no general Importance, ana
verging towards extinction by the approach OF
frost. The great financial settlement con-
nected with the Union Pacific railroad which
has been looked to as possibly involving
sharp disturbance in the money market, it is
now found will be disposed of without any
such inconvenience and the final net increase
of cash in the treasury will not exceed $2,0OO,-
been postponed, it is supposed until after the
elections; from which it is inferred that the
verdict of the court will be in favor Of the
railroads.
The latest developments in the Cuban sit
uaton are taken as a whole, construed IA
vorably The text of the reply of the Spanish
government to Minister Woodford's represen-
tations has not been made public, and appa-
rently is not likely to be published until the
document is presented to congress. From such
press reports as have come from Madrid
which, however, were based on the final Coo
ument-it seems probable that the answer is
firm and candid, yet courteous and moderate
in tone. and contains important explanations
as to the political reforms which it is pro-
posed to introduce Immediately in Cuba. The
statements just made by the Spanish minister
at Washington, however, are more authori-
tatiye than foreign press surmises; and 1t is
to be supposed that they harmonic with the
the spirit of the reply of his government to
Mr. Woodford. His explicit statements as to
the system of local government which it is
proposed to grant to Cuba are very important,
and have produced here more favorable i'm
preston as to the disposition of the home
government to deal literally with the colony
than anything that has yet been forthcoming
from Spain. The terms offer more to the Gu
bans than the conservative cabinet has ever
rendered. if not as much as the colonists could
reasonably expect. This is anattitude which

Yesterday received a telegram an
nOuncine the death at Lake Benton Of
Rev. J. Herbert Manchester, of that
place. who was one of the representa-
lives of the Sixteenth district. No in
formation was given as to the cause
of death, although the telegram did
state that the funeral was to be held
yesterday.
The deceased had been one o.
most conspicuous figures in the state
editorial association for years prior to
his advent in state politics. Tall, and
vet frail and delicate looking, his ply
steal personality rather belied the
hearty. though dry, humor which. on
a close acquaintance, broke through
natural reserve that at first seemed a
barrier to intimate friendships.
Representative Manchester was al
most a Minnesota product. for though
horn in Maine in 1859, he came to Min
nesota with his parents at seven years
of age, and was educated in
mon schools of the state. He has for
some time been the editor and pro-
prietor of the Lake Benton News, a
prosperous weekly, and has been a
lifelong Republican. always active in
the local affairs of that party. He was
for six years county surveyor prior to
being elected to the legislature. His
modesty here was characteristic. The
usual ambition of the new legislator to
amend by legal enactment all the ills
that flesh is heir to was not shared by

FOOTBALL FATALITY

football team, died this morning from injuries
received in a game between that team and
the team from the University of Virginia, in
this city yesterday afternoon. Cannon never
regained consciousness after the scrmmage at
the beginning of the second half. He was
one of the star players of the team. His
body was taken today for burial to Rome, Ga.
his former home. His death has stirred pref

How Spider Disappears.

FROM the Florida Citizen.
On the borders of the Everglades you
OFTEN see large yellow spider He swings
strong web from two plant twigs on
each side of a path of clear space of
ground and waits for his prey The web
is in the shape of a hammock, and tapers
at each end to a fire point, though quite
broad In the middle. The bright color of
the owner seems to mark him out for de-
struction-he is clearly defined against the
white sand or dead leaves, and you wonder
what he would do for defense in case of
attack. Approach quietly and he watches
you lntently. Now raise your hand sud-
denly and he will disappear While YOU
are wondering what became of him YOU
see first blur where he had been. then
several spiders, then you catch sight again
OF the yellow ball you noticed at first. Re
peat the performance and the stage effec:
is renewed. The disappearance Is abso-
iute-there can be no doubt about L. and
the little magician trusts to it entirely for
his protection. How is ii done? AS soon
as he Is threatened he starts the vibra-
lions OF his airy hammock: these become
too rapid for the eye to follow, and he
Vanishes. AS these become slower Won see
blur. aLd then several spiders as the
eye catches him at different points of his
swing, until finally he rests before you.
