ing Lords.

It's pleasing to learn that Queen Vic
toria disapproves of the "hecatombs of
game" that constitute feature at most
shooting parties nowadays in England.
That, at least, is one step in the direc-
ton of mercy, but even the queen can
not prevent the English love of sport.
Perhaps it is better so. remarks the
Boston Herald. She would be very
unpopular sovereign if she did not al
low this concession OF three hours
shooting In the royal preserves. But
this cdict forbidding her son and heir
TO kill more gnme thnn can be consumed
is u royal slap at her German grand
son. and IT is hoped it may have the
proper effect in Berlin court circles
when they go a-hunting. There is only
one other place in England beside Wind
sor where the rule of three hours
shooting prevails. The duke of Vest

GOING TO JAIL IN STYLE.
Tho Unique Way They Have of sur.
rendering to the Law in
Germany.

Mark Twain has described the STU
dents prison in German universities
and the police constable or beadle who
addresses his captive thus: when will
1t be convenient for you to be locked
up?" Then the student consults his
engagement list and names the day.
But this spirit of quiet resignation to
the needs Of the law seems to be fen
turc of the German generally, says the
Pail Mall Gnzette. Witness thereto ia
q scene which lately took place before
the gates of the Johannesburg prison
near Berlin. A bicycle party rode up
ut full speed and halted before the IRON
shceted doors. There were three gen
tlemen and three hides; they hnd
ridden up in pairs, and when they dis
mounted they rested their bicycles
against the prison walls. Then they
grouped themselves i'm IL picturesque
circle before the gntc, and champagne
bottles and glasses appeared in the gem
tlcmen's hands. They drank II toust to
their next meeting and sang "Whcn
Mortnls Pnrt" and prison walls inter-
Eenc. Then, having taken the pledge
OF fidelity in the form of kiss (they
would probably have objected to taking
the pledge in amy other form), tho
bridcgrooms separated from the brides.
The former vanished, man and machine,
within the prison walls; tho Indies
mounted and rode resigncdly away.
The criminals had been guilty Of riot
Ing and reveling on New Years night.
They and their bikes had only few
days to serve.

STORED-UP BREATH,
Among Land Animals the Java hat II,
One of the Most
Curious.

To certain extent all animals THAI
live in the sea, such as whales, wall
ruscs, scns. dolphins and porpoises,
have the power to store up air. as they
breathe only ut intervals when they
come to the surface for TINT purpose,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. But Of
land animals the most cxtraordinnry
case is that of the bat (nycteris iavani-
cus). which inhabits Java and parts OF
Africa. This creatures skin is only
attached to its body in few places, so
that beneath 1t there is n vacant space
which il connected with two small aper-
lures at the bottom of its cheeks by
means of n deep groove down the middle
OF the forehead.
The nostrils are SO formed that thew
close when the animal is at rest and
open only Mt will, which would prevent
it's breathing while asleep. But by re-
spring in npeculinr wny,with it's mouth
closed, the animal can initiate the store
house beneath the skin with spare air.

Irishmen With DEWEY.

Among the immortals who fought with
Dewey before Manila and enabled the
heroic commodore to add fiery laurels
to tho American navy, we find many
names cast in a Celtic mould, says The
Union and Times.
Here, for instance, is ]. B. Coghlan
captain of the Raleigh and other officers
bearing such names as kavanaugh, De-
Laney, Mcdonald, Brady, Kilcy, Norris,
Dyer, Mccormack, Karncy, Kirby, Con-
nelly, Hourigan. Butler Ryan, Dunn and
Hughes.
These arc all officers; but we feel
certain that quiet a large proportion OF
the no less brave mon, albeit filing
humber positions, in the victorious bat
tleships, are also of Celtic birth OF blood.
Their names indeed may not be hcralded
on the wings of fame in the first flush
of victory. but the angel of patriotism
has witnessed their bravery in that
fierce hail of fire and will not leave their
valor unrecorded.

Death of Dennis Halloran.

Dennis Halloran, son of D. Halloran.
ST., an old resident of Hennepin county,
died at the family residence, 1880 West
ern avenue, on Monday last, after an ILL
ness of few days, of pneumonia and
heart trouble, aged about SO years. For
some time he had held position at The
Washburn A mill and was looked upon
as one of its most faithful and indus
trious employees. His wife and three
children survive him. Mrs. Ialloran
has had her share of sorrows during the
past six months. On Thanksgiving day,
last November, her father Richard
Welsh, passed away suddenly; in March
her daughter Ellen died and now her
husband has been called to his reward.
The funeral occurred from the Church
OF the Immaculate Conception on We'd
nesday morning. Solemn high requiem
mass was celebrated by Father Keane
for the repose of the soul of deceased,
who also delivered the sermon, which
was very impressive.
Mr.. Halloran was member of an
old-time family in Hennepin county and
both his father and mother are yet liv-
ing. He was born here and at the time
OF his demise was member of Div No.
2 A. o. H., which, together with many
OF the members from other divisions,
attended at the last sad rites. De-
ceased was we'll liked and had large
circle of acquaintance throughout the
city and county who will learn of his
death with unfeigned sorrow and regret.
Interment took place at st. Mary's GEM
etery and the funeral cortege was
amongst the largest seen in the city for
some time.

SPANISH BOY KING.
4 Very Small Monarch Who Has q
Great Number of Very
Dig Names.

One of the most interesting monarchs
Of Europe is a bright boy only 10 years
old. He is King Alfonso Nil. of
Spain, and he has SO many names and
titles that one would think it would
mako him dizzy to remember them all.
No doubt he spent day or two learning
them, as one Of our boys would learn
the capitals of the western states. His
eight names are Leon, Ferdinand Ma
rie. Jacques, Isadore, Pascal, Antoine
and Alfonso. Besides being king OF
Spain, he has 81 other titles.
King of CASTLE, of Leon, of Aragon, Of
The two Sicilcs, of Jerusalem, of Ma
vurre, of Granada, of Toledo, of Valcn-
ella, of Galaciu, OF Majorca, of Minorca,
of Seville, of Sardinia, of Corfova, Ct
Corcega, Of Murcia, of Jacn, of Algrave,
OF Algeziras, of Gibraltar, Of the Canary
Islands, of the Eastern and Western In
dies, of India and of the Oceunic Con-
tinent. lie is an archdukc of Austria,
duke of burgundy, of Brnbunt and of
Milan, count of Ilapsburg, of Flanders.
of the Tyrol and Of Barcelona and lord
Of Biscay and Molina, and so on.
But in spite Of all his dignity he is
very much boy. Although there arc
always courticrs at his heels to serve
him, he likes to ride and run and swim
us we'll us any other boy. In fuct, he
doesn't get half SO much fun rs ho
would lilke-n boy kings life isn't easy.
Alfonso is n great favorite with the
Spanish people. They call him Eel
piquenito"-"th little one"-and he Is
cheered wherever he goes. His mother
Is now ruling Spain as queen regent,
but little Alfonso will be crowned king
as soon as he reaches tho age Of 49,.

bands Life.

Five miles from Cucamonga, CAL,
lives a woman who is carpenter and
paper hanger. She is Mrs. Minnie
Warner Ewing, formerly of St. Louis,
o society belle and Nassar grad
uate. Her husband held good posi-
ton, but consumption compelled him
to seek relief in California, and, with
$4,000 capital, the Ewings went west.
This money was soon expended, and the
wife found herself compelled to take
care of sick husband and make q
living at the same time. Mrs. Ewing
preempted tract of government land,
hive miles from Cucalnonga, in San
Bernadino county. In few hours she
had made formal entry for quarter
section, and the rcNt day the founda-
ton OF her new home was laid. Early
In the morning Mrs. Ewing and car
penter drove to her claim in a lumber
wagon. BY eight o'clock she had
marked out the plan for two-story
frame structure. Then, while the car
penler started building, she carted tho
lumber from'Cucamonga. This done
she then became the carpenters as
sistant
Mrs. Ewing also assisted in shingling
the roof, and when this was completed
she gave the roof two solid coats of
paint. Then without assistance, Mrs.
Ewing constructed chimney IA feet
high. and just three weeks and four
days after her arrival her house was
complete ut Il cost of $500
In the new home Mr., Ewing's health
is fast improving, and he will soon be
able to take up farming.

Tho fact that Admiral Dewey won his
great victory over the Spaniards at
Manila On Sunday, May /, and took
Admiral Montejo by surprise, has caused
some good Christians to turn up their
eyes in holy horror. They think Dewey
ought to have left Montcjo enjoy his
siesta on Sunday morning, and given
him chance of attending church. A
number of Protestant clcrgymcn and
some religious associations Of the puri-
tanical type have requested President
Mckinley to forbid any more fighting
on the Sabbath day during the war with
Spain. They think Dewey did wrong In
not waiting till Monday before attack
Ing the Spanish fleet. We hope the
president will tell these Sabbatarian
cranks and pharisees tC mind their own
business and pray for an "Anglo-Saxon

AND IMPORTANT
Event. FOR Decoration Day.

EISSHts 1OF DECORATION
Memorial day exercises this year will
have much deeper significance than on
any similar occasion since the beautiful
custom Of remembering our dead heroes
by decorating their graves was inaugur-
ated. Those of '9S as well as those Of
81 will be remembered, and the patri-
otism of every loyal American will be
heightened by these memorable exer-
cises. 1t has been the custom of some
OF our loyal citizens to remember this
occasion in a most substantial manner
by inaugurating some special features
in their business. S. E. Olson Co., are
as usual, in the front rank on this &C.
casion and have completed arrangements
to make May 30th, 1895, the most men,
orable in their history. The big Store"
will only be open in the forenoon, and it
will be well for those who desire to take
advantage of their magnificent offerings
to watch their special Sunday ADVERTISE
ments in the daily papers and be on
hand bright and early Monday morning.
Their splendid stock OF Warm Weather
Goods" will be on sale in immense guam
titles, to be offered at prices far below
present market value In summer mil
linery the display is beautiful In the ex-
IRENE and the special "Olson" prices
made for this occasion are much lower
at retail than wholesalers make for the
same goods.
1t is familiar saying. you hear it on
every hand, you Never Know What
Bottom Prices Are Until You've Been
to Olson" The truth of this is more ap-
parent now than ever. Their recent
purchase at the sale of tho retiring
carpet jobbing house, Tefft, Weller &
Co., New York, the largest in the coun-
try. is an event of the greatest import
ance. 1t places S. L. Olson Co. in the
list of Americas greatest carpet houses
and Minneapolis is justly proud of the
enterprise of her favorite store.
Remember Memorial day. Do your
shopping at the big Store" in the early
morning and attend the exercises of The
