reverently picked Japanese rim (1-l0 of

design aud workmanship and closely
guarded by soldiers dressed in the i'm
perial uniform-red and black. The last
enclosure contains the emperor's private
gardens and palaces. La the grounds
between the two outer moats are the
public gardens, parliamentary buildings,
department of war and treasury build
ing, which are OF brick and stone and
make quite foe showing. The British
and American legation buildings face the
palace moats. This is ali in the heart of
the city. The grounds of the emperor
are beautiful aud his palaces, covering
several acres are one story wooden build
ings, In architecture similar TO the tenn
pies. None but those who have audience
with the emperor are permitted to step
upon the marble bridge aud could not
enter the Japanese "holy Of holies." It
Is said that the elegance of the interior
finish OF the principal palace is scarcely
surpassed In any country. | hope the
time Is not distant when the common

clusively in railroad supplies He is wide

value to the club and its guests. Among
those present were motive power men,
mechanics, employees Of the test depart

gineers representing every railroad en-
tering the cities. A number Of well known
Minneapolis railroad men were present
The lecture was technical in its nature
and dealt with the utility and practical
value in mechanics OF bearing metals
and alleged metals used for the same
purpose. The different forms Of brass

thrown on the screen. The use of the
other common bearing metals was dis
cussed at length, showing the manner in
which the most valuable Of the metals
are prepared for use. Many views of
sections prepared for tests and subjected
to different treatments to determine their
value, made the discussion interesting.

CORA MAYS MANNING.
1t Had Been Done Too NumerOusIy
Husband No. 1 Thought.

L
Because the plaintiff averred that his
wife was the possessor Of two husbands.
Judge Lewis yesterday, in the district
court, ordered findings for the plaintiff
in the case Of Charles Chastine Manning
VS.. Cora May Manning. The former al
legged adultery as the ground for the
complaint.
The Mannings were married in Bur-
lington, To-, Nov. II, 1893, and lived to-
gether until September, 1895, when they
separated by mutual consent after COM
ing to St. Paul, where Manning, who is
a dentist opened an office at Seventh
and Wabasha streets. DR.. Manning is
twenty-eight years old and his wife six
years younger.
In court DR.. Manning was represented
by Percy Godfrey, of Barton & Godfrey,
and the defendant by H. B. Farwell
DR.. Manning testified that he had been
married to Cora May Prayer, and that
in September, 1895, they had separated by
mutual agreement. Afterwards she came
to st. Paul, and the witness understood
that she had been married at Hudson.
He had frequently seen his wife with the
man he supposed to be her second hus-
band.
Attorney Farwell cross-examinted the
witnesses for the plaintiff, but intro
duced no testimony.

plaintiff said Judge Lewis sententious-
ly to Attorney Godfrey.

Than Three Years Old.

Eva Stitch, the wo-and-a-half-year-ol
daughter of Christopher Stitch, living at

effects of swallowing a quantity of car

The little girl drank the acid Sunday

was left on a kitchen table. Sunday
morning the child arose before her par

playing around the kitchen. without
knowing its deadly nature the child pour

drank it. The pain Immediately caused

LIBERAL HoUsEKEEPERs.
Buying wntche. for Grocerx c,.n,

Buying Watches for Grocery Clerks.
The practice adopted by some manu-
facturers of bribing grocery clerks to
sell their particular specialties is open to
the gravest objections. 1t leads to fraud
and deceit, whereby customers are fur
nished with inferior goods at exorbitant
prices, and must destroy the reputation
Of any store in which it is permitted. )
y, A specimen Of this method now en-
ployed In some towns is particularly dis
reputable for all concerned. The manu-
facturer Of cheap baking powder offers
grocery clerks a present of gold watch
for selling his goods. Alum baking DOW
ders are condemned by physicians as
dangerous to health, and in some sections
their sale is forbidden by law. Yet in
these stores when housekeeper asks for
a baking powder with which she is to
make food for her children, the clerk.
bribed by the manufacturer, is permitted
by, his employer to force upon her a
powder which is well known to be pol
sonous, disguised as a pure and whole
some article.
The culpability of so heinous an act
rests with the manufacturer, the grocer
and the clerk. The housewife should
find her remedy by taking her patronage
to a store where such practices are not
tolerated.
