1t is corroborated in two very important
instances, which in itself is sufficient.
The inSinuations made on the moral
character of the plaintiff when punctured
prove nothing. The disposition on the
part of defendant to pursue these insinu-
atoms shows malice. There was nothing
that called for the statement that she
was an fllegitimate child, or that her
mother was an abandoned woman This
was not necessary and did not meet the
issue. No doubt the defendant on refec-
ton would say now that he was perhaps
sorry for some things that he wished he
had not said His calling one of his chill

to be a. discreet man. and his manner of

GOOD THINGS TO EAT.
Dinner Served for the Soldier BOYS
by Residents of MINNEAPOLIS,

The dinner served by the ladies of Min
neapois for the soldiers, at the Exposi-
+ uon, was one of the most successful
most elaborate and most enjoyable fea-
lures of an eventfuI day. After the re-
view by the president the Thirteenth
marched to the Exposition where the
dinner was in readiness. The tables Sor
the soldiers were thirteen in number, and
there was a separate table for the cIfi-
GERS of the regiment. Behind the CHAIRS
stood many beautiful women, their faces
rejecting the happiness they felt as they
thought of the honor that awaited them
the honor of waiting upon the soyal Min
nesotans who had answered when the
nation called them to battle.
The dinner was made UP of just such
things as the soldiers longed for:
Fried chicken. Maryland style
Queen olives. Dressed celery
Roast prime beef, au jus.
Escalloped oysters
Potato salad.
Apple pie. Pumpkin pie.
Minnesota Geese.
Assorted fruit. Connections.
Nuts. Coffee.
The way these viands disappeared was
simply alarming; one would have thought
the members of the Thirteenth had been
starved for a week The food just faded
away like a crowd of Filipinos before a
charge by the Americans, and as the boys
leaned back In their chairs to hight their
cigars nearly all Of them seized upon the
opportunity to let out link or two in their
belts
At the conclusion of the meal each man
was presented with handsome souvenir
an attractive menu card, gotten up for
the occasion. On the first page was a col

a beautiful girl, greeting a Thirteenth
regiment man on his return from the war,
and several smaller pictures of places in

stirring music, up toward the Exposition

As the soldiers constituting the first di-

bowed approvingly in answer to the Of

Gent was too much for national guard

had to turn their eyes and even their
heads to set a glimpse of the great

He Is Selected Vice President of
ARMY Of Tennessee


CHICAGO Oct. 12.-The proposed joint
reunion of the Armies of the Tennessee,
Cumberland and Potomac. at ChattanoO-
ga, Tenn in October 1900, is off so far
as the Army of the Tennessee is con-
cerned. The committee appointed at the
meeting of the society, yesterday to
select the place for reunion IeXt year,
decided that it was unadvisable to adopt
the idea, ard selected Detroit. Mich, as
the place for meeting for 1900. The DIS
tance to the Southern city is so great
that it was believed that many of the
members would find it impossible to at
tend the reunion.
The committee on officers reported the
selection Of he following officers for the
ensuing year and the report was unani-
mously adopted: President. Gen. Gren-
vile NJ. Dodge, reelected; vice presi-
dents, Capt. S. NJ. Chamberlain, Detroit;
Capt. r. ]. Chase, Sioux City; Capt. NJ
J. McGrath, Chicago: Lieut.; David F.
Vail, st. Paul; Col. n. L. Ogg, Greenfield,

attire. Aside from the many flags
placed on high, and in the middle of the
street, and smaller ones to the SIDES,
the citizens had bedecked their homes
with the colors
The most magnificent piece on the line
OF March was the triumphal arch on MIC
ollet avenue, between Eighth and Ninth
streets. This was massive piece, erect
ed by the committee having the demon
stration in charge, at an expense of
$1,500. The arch is in white, and stands
as high as three-story building.
Two large paintings on the west side
met the gaze of the returning elders as
they passed beneath il. To the left was
represented a soldier on the field of bat
tie. Before him was the figure of fall
ing comrade. The painting to the right
was an categorical figure of Minneapolis
extending to the visitors laurel wreath.
The east side of the arch was devoted
to a memorial Of the regiments dead. The
list of soldiers who marched down Me
ollet avenue year and a half ago, but
were not in the ranks on the return, is
fitting memorial.
1t would be difficult to start from this
feature and say what part of the line was
the most attractive. From Park avenue
and Lake street to the Exposition build
ing it looked as If everybody had en-
deavored to Guido his neighbors. Ger
tainly every one did the best he could.
The stores on Nicolet avenue below
Fifth street took up the gauntlet cast
down by the gaily decorated buildings
further up the street.
The artists did their work well, and
although the men were working separ-
ately, a close study Of each others
work was made, and this had the effect
of making the results harmonic in
way that made the entire work appear
that of one man.
Every store in the business district
facing on the line of march and on the
side streets carried the national colora
to join in the welcome extended.

The palate is almost
tickled with SCOTS Emul-
sion of Cod-liver oil. The
stomach knows nothing
about it, it does not trouble
you there. You feel it first
in the strength it brings; it
shows in the color of cheek

wrinkles.
1t was beautiful thing
to do, to cover the odious

the tax on the stomach, and
take health by surprise.
