State Treasurer A. 7. KOerner and
Sam G. Iverson, deputy state auditor,
returned yesterday morning from a
two weeks trip to Nashville, where
they cleared up the ENHANCEMENT the
state has for several years been in on
account of certain Tennessee bonds
held by it not having been registered.
When the tourists went away they mad
with them four satchels which contain
ed S2.OOOOOO worth Of bonds Of the
Southern state While in the Tennes-
see capital they disposed of q million
and a half of these at an aggregate
profit Of about 100000, and the re-
naming $3.50, 900 were registered, which
makes them much more acceptable in
the eyes of brokers who deal in bonds
as speculative Investments. This cuts
the Minnesota holdings Of Tennessee
bonds, which have given this state so
much trouble, down to about $1,000, 900.
From Nashville the official tourists
went to New York and Boston, where
they purchased $1,3S0,OOO of Massachu-
sets bonds running forty years, bear
ing 31a per cent in gold on their par
value-3 per cent on Minnesota's in
vestment. The change was made in
pursuance of a resolution of the legis-

State Treasurer Koerner put it yester-

eggs in one basket"

Makes n Correction

To the Editor of the Globe
WI! you kindly afford me space In your
valuable paper to correct wrong impress
sion made by an article which appeared in
your issue of today and by which 1 and nv
dog were much misrepresented. The article
said, in reference to Carl CulverwelI. that
he was bitten by vicious dog that dumped
the fence and attacked him in an alley" in
the rear of the Nicollet hotel, yesterday after
noon. The correct facts in the case are rs
follows: The Nicollet hotel is located at 1S9
West Fourth street, and not, as stated West
Seventh street There is large yard in the
rear of the hotel, which fronts on West Sew
enth street, and belongs. to the hotel This is
fenced off from the street by a seven-foot
board fence, with a gate which is always
kept locked, and this is the only alley in the
rear OF the Ntcollet hotel. The dog which is
a large mastiff and a very good watch dog
is allowed to run loose in this yard The dog
is not of vicious nature, as stated as some
ifteM to eighteen boarders of the Nicollet
hotel can testify Yesterdays accident to
Carl Culverwell was caused by himself and
several companions entering the yard without
any business there, and the dog in driving
them out happened to jump on Culverweii
and scratched him. 1 think, with one of his
paws, instead of biting him. Respectfully.

1T KEPT IT'S PROMISE.
Second Enjoyable Concert in the
COnover Hall Series.

ConOver Hall Series.
Judging from the attendance yester-
day at the second of the series of Sun
day concerts inaugurated at Conover
hall by the C. NJ. Selling orchestra, the
venture is likely to prove successful.
In spite of the disagreeable weather,
the hall was filled.
Like the concert Of a week ago, that
yesterday appealed to the popular
taste. The programme was, in fact,
even less pretentious; but it certainly
met with as much approval. The piece
de resistance yesterday afternoon was
the "Caliph Of Bagdad" overture, by
Boieldieu-the second number on the
programme. This dainty and fanciful
composition, with it's harmonious
blendings of the strings and French
horns, was interpreted with commend
a BILE expression. The orchestra merited
the hearty encore it received. The au-
dience also demanded a repetition of
1.-The Butterfly" by BendiX, which was
likewise played eXpressively.
The vocal music was contributed by
Miss Virginia Henrichs Nielsen, of the
Cav Coney Island company, and Henry
S. Gilbert, of st. Paul. Miss Nielsen
possesses a mellow, musical contralto,
Of LIQUID quality. 1t was heard to
good advantage in THE Old Rope
Swing" by Mcclure, and in a good
night" song, which Miss Nielsen sang
in response to prolonged applause.
1t would be a pleasure to commend
Mr. Gilbert's singing, if that could
conscientiously be done, but the fact is
that this gentleman's vocal perform
ance was not up to the standard re-
uuired even by so-called popular" con-
certs. While it is not contended that
because the members of the orchestra
are professionals all amateur singers
should be barred from participating,
the patrons of these concerts should
not be inflicted with the vocal viii
lainies" of amateurs so Enthusiastically
deficient in experience-and voice.
The concert closed with pleasing
potpourri of airs and chOruses from

sLUGGED IN AN ALLEY.
Stewart Hoffman Knocked UncOn-
sciOus by an Unknown.

Stewart Hoffman, the seventeen
year-old son Of j. K. Hoffman, living
at 472 Collins street, was sandbagged
by thugs near his home last evening
and dragged into an alley, where he
was left unconscious, after his pockets
had been turned inside out. The yOung
man carried no valuables or money;
consequently the footpads secured no
booty as the reward for their brutal
assault. 1t is believed that young Hoft-
man is not seriously hurt, though he
suffered from a severe headache after
the attack, and the right side of his
head and face was swollen from the
effects Of the blow he received.
The hold-up took place shortly after
7 o'clock, while Hoffman was on his
way to a sisters home near De Soto
and North streets.s He entered an al
ley running from Lafayette avenue to
De Soto street. a short cut to his des-
tination, and when about half way
between the block, was suddenly struck
a heavy blow across the right temple
which felled him like a log. Of subse
quent events, until he regained con-
seriousness, half an hour later, young
Hoffman has no recollection. When ne
recovered his senses, he says he was
lying on his back in the yad surround
ing the former residence of Gen. Beck
err having been dragged away from
the place where he was assaulted,
probably to permit of an uninterrupted
search Of his pockets. Hoffman did
not see his assailants, as he says the
blow was struck from behind, but he
thinks there We're at least two high
waymen. He recalled that two men
had walked behind him short dis
lance on Lafayette' avenue before lie
turnedinto the alley but took no par
ticular notice of them, and does not
know, whether or not these were the
thugs, or whether his assailants were
lying. in wait for a victim in the al
ley The affair was reported to the
police but, as Hoffman could give no
description, it is doubtful if the foot
pads can be apprehended

Moser's f1ye-act comedy, The Hypo-
chCndriac," last night in most cred
liable manner The play is comedy
without plot, and, as is often said IN
speaking of the English stage, lis built
only to amuse and make laughs. The
scenes of the piece are those supposed
to occur in any city of the second or
third rate in Germany. An lnVanu
politician, by his faculty of creating
difficulties for himself and others, fur
nishes a number of funny situations
which go to make up the piece Ed
Tietz. the stage manager and director
of the company, appeared last nlsht
in the title role, and, as usual, played
the part in a most excellent manner
He was ably assisted by Andrew Heck
Ter, as Chairman Sauerbrel, or the
board of aldermen. The work and gen.
eral makeup of Mr.. Heckler for and
in the part were a great surprise TO a
large number of those present. He
showed by his acting throughout the
piece that he still had left some recol-
lection of his former successes in the
professional field Of German actors.
William Platte, Martin Glesen, Paul
Drinkwitz and William Dur made up
the rest of the council which helped
furnish the comedy for the piece. Mrs.
N. Kneitmann and Miss Bertha
Schmidt, as the wife and daughter of
Aid. Sauerbrei, played their respective
parts like professionals, and were
warmly received on their every ap-
pearance. Miss Julie Riedt and Mrs.
Emma Feise were excellent in their
parts as the wife and daughter of der

NANsEN's DATE CHANGED.
VIII Lecture at the Peoples Church
Saturday Afternoon

Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, the explorer
and scientist, will be in this city Sat
urday afternoon, Nov. 20.
Since the Arctic navigator's appear
ance in this country, beginning with
his initial lecture at Philadelphia, his
lecture tour has been one Of the most
remarkable vouchsafed any similar
lecturer in this country, not even ex-
cepting Henry NJ. Stanley. Greeted
everywhere bysseientists and the Lead
ing societies of america and those of
his own country, the tour of the noted
explorer resembles more a triumphal
march than any other thing. That DR..
Nansen is warmly welcomed naturally
arises from the interest in science and
in the man who has gone far beyond
his brethren in the dangerous search
for the elusive north pole. 1t is rarely
that any lecturer combines the many
qualifications that dominate in the big
Morse scientist, for, skilled as a navi-
gator, a scientist, an explorer, hunter,
photographer, ETC., he has about him
an infinite charm of manner. DR.. Nan
sens lecture is profusely illustrated
by bountifuI photographs, comprising
all the adventures that befell him dur
ing the terrible self-imposed incarcera-
ton of the deadly Arctic seas. Pic
lures of the Franz" that excellent
vessel, when carried the explorers 10
their successful issue, pictures of Jo-
hansen and the rest of the ships crew,

few companions of the brave explorer;
the dogs and sledges, which carried
Nansen. alone with his comrade, Jo-
hansen far to the north, beyond the
line reached by any of the other north
ern sea explorers; the faithful pictur-
ing of the meeting between Jackson
and Nansen, far beyond the bounds
of civilization, lend an absorbing in
terest to the great naviGator's nara
tive. The West will stretch out the
welcoming hand to this brave man,
and, in all probability, his Western
tour will be a repetition of the fetes
and receptions accorded him through
out the entire East. 1t is hard to be-
1ieve that the big, yellow-haired Morse
