SAD ABOUT WHITNEY.
New Years of 1897 Witnesses a
Minds Downfall

John Whitney, a cutter in the en-
ploy of Scheffer & Rossum, was taken
to the county Jail yesterday suffering
from the effects of excessive indulgence
in alcohol. The mans mind appeared
to have become unbalanced, and he
approached Officer Moorse at Seventh
and Cedar streets with the statement
that four men were in possession of
his room at 444 Cedar street waiting
to kill him. He said he had heard
them sharpening knives during the
previous night and was sure they
meant to hold regular barbecue when
he went home. The officer accompa-
MED the man to the room, but found
no one, and, from subsequent strange
actions, concluded to send Whitney to
jail for safe keeping. Whitney says
he told a policeman wearing star No.
900 of his troubles and that the officer
refused to go to his assistance. He
declares he will report the policemen
to the mayor, but, as there are but 150
stars adjoining the breasts of the finest
in the city, it is evident that this is
but another of the deluded mans fall
lacies.

Market Hall Programme Entertafns
the street Statesmen.

There was notuvery much in a social
way to mark the audience which yes
terday afternoon assembled in the
Newmarket theater to witness the SEN
satfonal military drama, American
Born" but there was no lack Of en-
thusiasm for all that. The manage
ment had invited the newsfes who sell
the Clio b e and other papers to be
present and the invitation was quite
generally accepted,
From the moment the curtain rose a

hand in final triumph the audience
knew nothing of the ecstasy. Not much
attention was paid to the details Of the
plot, but whenever or wherever the
stars and stripes were in evidence the

frenzy.

CROOKsToN NEEDS HIM, TOO.
The Man Who Was Shopping With
Worthless Checks.

The young man who succeeded in vic
umizing several local merchants by
means of worthless checks, purporting
TO be drawn by Lyons & Donovan, as
the Junior member of which firm he
opened small account with the Allie
MAMMA bank, is said to have been an
accomplished swindIer, who is also
wanted in CroOkston, Mimi, for ex-
tenSive forgeries. After working his
Y clever game for all it was worth in ST.
Paul he went to Crookston, and repre-
senting himself to be the head of a
large commission house, purchased a
carload of cattle. In payment for the
beef he rendered several checks for
different amounts, made payable to
Nelson Martin, the same name on the
checks which he passed here. The
young man came back to st. Paul last
Saturday, ordering the cattle to be con-
signed TO him in this city, but the
wOrthlessness of the checks which he
had given in payment vas discovered
IN time, and the cattle were held at
CrOOkstOn by attachment proceedings.
Warrants are out for the young mans

One Hundred Miles of sheet Music

If t'the band played on" for month
it couldn't catch up with the G o b e's
great music offer. Since arrangements
were made with the publishers to sup
ply the G | o b e's readers through our
music department with six pieces OF
sheet music for Is cents there have been
printed and sold 225,000 copies of the
various songs and instrumental seIec-

enormous amount OF music contained
in this great aggregate may be OBJ
tanned by considering the fact that,
placed side by side, the sheets on which
the music is printed would make a

A Hopeless Case.

Carlyle was terribly bored by the per-

II thought, he said, that would try
to cure him, so took him to some Of
the lowest parts of London and showed
him all that was going on there This
done, I turned to him, saying, And
moo, man, dye believe in the deevil
noo?' oh, nor he replied. All these
people seem to me only parts of the
great machine, and on the whole
think they are doing their work very
satisfactorily. Them" continued the
sage, 81 took him doun to the hoose O.

The Growth of Flowers.

1t has been noted that large number
of species of plants have their flowers
bending to the southeast when opening
The well known compass plant, Silphi-
um laciniatum, is one of this class
Some 30 years ago paper was present
ed to the Academy of Natural Sciences
of Philadelphia, showing that all the
growth made i'll the flowers of the COM
pass plant was made within two or three
hours after sunrise. All growth after
this was at standstill until the next
day. 1t has since been noted that the
flowers which turn toward the southeast
in opening, as already referred to, are
those which choose this particular part
of the day as their growing time. 1t is
just possible that the the heat and light
after the rising of the sun has an infu .
ence on growth at that time, and this
may be the reason for the turning in this
particular direction. All plants have a
specific time Of growth, some in the
morning, some at midday and some at
evening or night. Growth is not contin-
uous in any plant. -Meehan' Monthly.

Diet and Hair.

The relation of the diet to the hair
has been tested by good authority. A
diet consisting Of beef, starchy materi.
ais and milk causes atrophy of the roots
and falling of the hair Probably no ar
ticIe of diet nourishes the hair so well
as oats. A bald headed Scotchman who
takes his porridge regularly is rarity.
The poorest diet for the hair is milk.
1t is claimed that the loss Of hair as
the result of fever is largely due to the
habit of feeding the patient almost ex-
clusively on milk diet, and il will be
interesting TO note the cases where those
having fine heads of hair are known to
live principally upon vegetable and
grain foods

A Queer Egg Story.

An ostrich egg with romantic his
tory is the curiosity owned by Miss
Marie Lopez of 4l5 South Fortieth
street. The egg was presented to Miss
Lopez by Joseph Pulsiver, to whom it
was sent by his brother, who is super
intendent of an ostrich farm in South
Africa. Accompanying the egg was the
following letter from the sender: II
send the ostrich egg and know your
longing for peculiar curiosities will re-
ceive a boom when you learn its his
tory. We had man on the farm named
Carr, who was noted for his skill in
breeding and raising ostriches. He had
raised the mother of the egg 1 send, and
she had been one of his greatest pets. This
was thought strange, as she was known
to be savage bird and would allow
no one but Carr to 60 near her. Breed
ing time came, and the ostrich was soon
watching over setting of eggs Our
farm matches artificially, the eggs being
removed from the mother and placed in
an incubator. Carr was the one selected
to secure the eggs, ON account Of his
great command over the bird He enter
ed the pen and began picking up the
eggs. In an instant the treacherous pet
became furious and started to strike
him with her powerful feet. We had to
shoot the mother before we could get
her away and then found we were too
late, Carrs skull having been battered
in. In the struggle all the eggs were
broken with the one execution which

A Glimpse of Tennyson.

Max Muller, in his "reminiscences Of
Tennyson, says the poet wanted thawing
out-had to be smoking pipe, slipping
whisky and water" - before he was
genial. Once he summoned all his will
and pitched his pipes and tobacco out Of
the window. For day he was most
charming, though somewhat self right
eous. The second day he became very
moody and captious; the third no one
knew what to do with him. But after a
disturbed night was told that he got
out of bed in the morning, went quick
ly into the garden, picked up one of his
broken pipes, stuffed it with the re-
mains of the tobacco scattered about and
then, having had few puffs, came to
breakfast all right again. Nothing more
was said about giving up tobacco.
