ANoKA-HAsTINGs FIGHT.
Both Sides Have Strong LObbies in
the Field.

Present indications are that one Of
the iiveliest fights of the present ses-
sion of the Legislature, next of course
to the Dunn-Day contest, will be that
between the Anoka and Hastings folk
in respect to the location of the fourth
state hospital for the insane, which the
commission appointed to place the
same settled by designating Anoka as
the site. The Hastings people have
succeeded in getting from the minority
Of the board as is we'll known, a state
r1ent in the form of a minority report,
and which will be submitted to the
legislature sooner or later, but not
content with this, they have produced
a strong lobby, which is now to be
found about the state house in advo-
cacy of the claims of the garden city
Of Dakota county.
Anoka has not been asleep, either,
and has strong lobby here in protec-
ton of what the Anoka people are
pleased to term their vested rights. A
merry contest may be expected within
the next two months.

THREE FRIENDS CASE
To Be Heard in the Supreme Court
on Monday.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The attorney gen
eral today applied to the United States su-
preme court for a writ of certiorari to bring
the case Of the Three Friends one of the
alleged flibustering craft, before the court
Counsel for the owners Of the vessel repre-
scented that they had not had sufficient no.
dce OF the application, and asked that the
matter be postponed until next Monday. It
was so ordered.
The question involved has been much dis
cussed, and is, the attorney general admits
very doubtful. 1t has never been passed
upon until it decided by Judge Locke in
this case, he therefore expresses a great de-
sire to have the opinion of the supreme court,
and to secure It at as early a day as practi-
cable. He accordingly gave notice that if
the writ should be granted he would move to
have the cases advanced on the docket.

strained 10 marvel most at the consummate tact
with which the poet son has done his work Then
there is noticeable remarkable scantiness Of
detail in the matter of Tennyson's earlier lie,
regarding which we would gladly know more.
OF course when he became famous, mat
ter regarding him became more and more abun-
dant. His son has quoted from many writings,
not originally intended for the public eye, and
many of these were afterward burned by his
fathers instructions.
OF Tennyson the get a remarkably
clear view through his sons eyes, idea that
confirms what Mr.. Pagrave said in his remin-
iscences that forty-three years OF friendship
made him recognize "ovableness' as the
dominant note of his friends character. That
the poet had his weaknesses is admitted, yet
tilial reverence has refrained from direct in
sistence upon them. He thought good deal
about himself-most people debut any little
vanity is perfectly innocent and consistent with
sim plicity and modesty. Tennyson was sensl-
tive. "a flea will annoy me-" he said to Tyn-
dali. ga flea bite will spread a square inch over
the surface of my skin. l am thin-skinned and
I take no pains to hide it." Though the fact
might have been apparent to the casual OBJ
server it is scarcely noticeable in the memoir
and this saws much for the reVerentlal spirit In
which the work has been compiled

have said right through the volumes The mar

among whom may be mentioned Tnackeray,
Dickens, Forster, Landor, Leigh Hunt ana
Thomas Cam pbell, contribute something to the
interest OF the biography. These men he used

He has word of praise, too, for Mr.. Kiplings

letter to him. Here is Mr.. Kipings answer,
characteristic and well calculated to give Ten
nvson satisfaction:
when the private in the ranks Is praised by
the general he cannot presume to thank him,
but he fights the better next day"
The simple tastes of the poet were made
more and more apparent in the last days OF his
life and in the circumstances attending his
death, about which his son talks freely. These
are still fresh in the minds of his admirers. His
last words oreathed a blessing on his wife and
son, who thus describes the preiminares of the
funeral: 1--WE placed 'Cymbeline' with him and
laurel wreath from VirgiPs tomb, and wreaths
of roses-a flower which he loved above all flow
ers-and of his Alexandrian laurel-the
poets laurel. On the evening OF the 11th the
coffin was set on our wagonette, made beautiful

In bringing to close all too incomplete notice
of this Book of the Year" it may be prophesied
that it's will exceed that of any biography
published for long time. Within its pages

poetry OF its noble subject but the memoir

due from the literary world to HaIlam, Lord
Tennyson, for his industry, for the love and
painstaking which is apparent in this me-

his correct sense of the fitness of things and for
his regard not alone for effectiveness, but for
truth and justice. The book is absolutely au-

US to remark that a clearer knowledge OF them
would be OF assistance to the reader, and GER
talnly would possess much interest fer him in
perusing the work under review.
A valuable chapter is that describing Tenny-
sons habits. He seems to have been man of
decidedly moody disposition, and spoke of sui
eide as subject attractive to him. 1t is told of
him that one evening some one was speaking of
a story of in Paris having deliberately
ordered good dinner. and afterward committed
suicide by covering his face with a handkerchief
saturated with chloroform. THAT is what I
should do" Tennyson said, 'if l thought there
was future life" His domestic habits
regular. He breakfasted at g. lunched at and
dined at 7. at dessert, if alone he would read
to himself or, if friends were in the house, he
would sit with them for an hour so and enter
tain them with varied talk. He worked chiefly
in the morning, over his pipe, or in the evening,
over his pint of port, also over his pipe.
Rare books, or books with splendid bindings,
he never cared for Yet he treasured his first
edition of Sponsors "Faerie Queen" and his
second edition of "Paradise Lost" He would
read over and over again his favorite authors,
and his delight was genuine when he came
across new author who seemed to have "some-
thing in him." In the matter of reading his
tastes were catholic He read Stevenson and
Meredith. Besant Black Hardy, Henry James,
Conan Doyle, Hall Caine These, of course
without reference to the more solid reading that
he took up for purposes of study.
In attempting to give some idea OF Tennyson's
letters one is confronted by veritabe embar-
rassment of riches. The statement also holds
good with reference to the strictly descriptive
matter OF the work. The question confronting
the reviewer is not what TO quote, but what not
to quote Here is one addressed to Walt Whit
man that possesses an undeniabie interest to
American readers. 1t is dated in the year 1887:
