The Mysterious Way In which 1t
Spreads Through an Audience.

''You cannot keep news, especially
war news. out of any public, building,
be it theater. concert room or lecture
hall, no matter how deeply engrossing
the entertainment may be, and from
one man, who perhaps knows only one
soul in the place, coming in with the
news of n statesman's death, of a great
victory, or what not, the whole audi
ence Of a couple of thousand people
will know the news in five minutes"

could give you some most striking in
stances from my own experience of
what say. 1 have seen big audience
convulsed with laughter at o'clock,
say, but through a bare whisper of a
great outside calamity that circulated
through the house with almost the ra-
pidity of telegraphy, that same audi
ence has been restless, universally
grave of face and absolutely inatten-
tive to the very eliminating point Of
fun on the stage. And the singular
thing is that actors who have never
left the stage have, through the me-
dunn of whispers among the band or
from the stalls, known all that the
original messenger of evil had to tell.
The late Rev. c. II. Spurgeon once
told me that he had known this same
thing precisely to occur during the
course of religious service, and when
vast congregation were on their
knees. He gave me the time and place
and explained how, from the whisper
of a doOrkeeper, a kneeling concourse
of thousands knew the whole story of
a national crisis in an incredibly short

FELL FROM TOP OF CAR
ARTHUR j. BECKWITH BADLY
HURT YESTERDAY.

Arthur j. Beckwith lies at his home, SO
East Wood street, between life and death,
the result of an accident yesterday He
was knocked from the top Of a Great
Western freight car which was being put
in on a side track at the Griggs hay and
feed warehouse on Eva street.
The injured man was at work shifting
cars on the side track, and at the time
of the accident was at the brake Of
large furniture car which was being
backed into side track beside the ware
house. Not noticing the danger until too
late, the car was backed under a rain
shed, and the projecting roof beams
struck the man in the back Of the head,
knocking him from the car. He fell to
the platform under the shed and, his
clothing catching in the side of the car,
he was dragged some distance before his
injuries We're known. He was taken to
his home at once and a physician sum-
moned. After an hours work he was
restored to consciousness. The examina-
tion Of his body showed it to be literally
covered with bruises and cuts. Strangely
enough, no bones were broken, but the
mans face was cut and bruised until
hardly a spot remained uninjured
Beckwith Is receiving careful treatment
and his condition warrants his physician
in predicting his recovery. He is danger
ously hurt. He Is married and has three
children.

NOT A RUNAWAY MATCH
MRS. KELLEY JAMES SISTER DE
MES NEWSPAPER STORIES.

Mrs Thomas James, formerly Miss
Anna M. Kelly, of st. Paul. is enjoying a
pleasant honeymoon in st. Louis, in spite
of the newspaper notoriety which resulted
from her romantic marriage with the
wealthy widower of Chester, Ill. Letters
received from her yesterday by married
sister, Mrs. Wood, of the Valentine block,
speak humorously Of her experiences with
press representatives and the excitement
over the wedding.
st. Louis papers differed in their ac-
counts of the ceremony, and the age of
the bride was mater of dispute. When
the bride was Miss Kelly, and just as
she boarded the train to meet her future
husband at st. Louis, she answered the
question authoritatively. Several friends
alleged in a joking way that she was cry
ing. She answered wittily:
"After waiting forty years, I suppose 1
have a perfect right to cry over this,
haven't I?"
The answer was conclusive. Mrs. James
has taken the newspaper notoriety in
good part, but her friends in St. Paul, Of
whom there are many, are exercised over
statements in the local press concernin g
the event. The inference that the mar
riage was somewhat in the nature of a
runaway match is especially resented. 1t
appears that Miss Kelly and Mr. James
were engaged for more than a year pre-
vious to the event, and it was not sur
prise to her friends
In her letters to her sister, Mrs. James
gave no account Of the wedding, except
to say that press accounts which had been
forwarded were substantially correct She
Is enjoying a little social whirl at pres
ent, and will return to st. Paul In few
weeks.

His honor is firmly In favor of tree plant

1900
To the Citizens of ST. Paul:
The 18th day of April has been designat-
ed as Arbor day and Bird day.
Every patriotic citizen Of this community
is earnestly requested by the mayor Of
the city to plant on that day at least one
shade tree near or in front Of his home.
Nothing contributes more to the beauty
of a city than graceful and stately shade
trees along the residence streets.
Let every one plant tree on Arbor day,
and thereafter watch and care for 1t and
our city will soon have all the beauty
or a great park, with thousands of trees
which will furnish shade for the chival-
rous and patriotic planter and his happy
and greatful descendants.

JOHANKE FAMILY FUSS
SUPREME COURT DECIDES IN FA-
VOR OF THE SON-IN-LAW.

Four decisions were handed down by
day, and in two of them the lower courts
are reversed.
The first reversal is in the case Of Emil
Johanl1e, appellant, VS.. Ferdinand
Schmidt, respondent. Johanke was first
employed by Schmidt Then he married
Schmidt's daughter and moved onto one Of
her fathers farms, which he cultivated
for number Of years. Johanke's wife
secured a divorce from him and went
back to her father. Then the young man
sued his father-in-law for the value OF
two years work, at $500 per year, and
money expended. In the district court the
jury gave Johanke q verdict for $357.16.
but the court set this verdict aside and
declared 1t vacated. From this decision
Johanke appealed. and the supreme court
sustains the appeal, reversing the order of
the district court. Schmidt claimed that
his son-in-law was member Of the fam
lily, his labor was performed gratuitously,
and not for hire, but the court holds that
nothing of the kind Is to be presumed
whenever one person performs labor for
another in the absence Of an agreement
that it Is to be performed gratuitously,
1t is to be expected that the beneficiary
expects to pay for the work.
Emil Jehanke, appellant, va Ferdinand
Schmidt, respondent.
Syllabus-In an action to recover the
value of work, labor and services, 1t is
held, that the evidence made proper
case for submission to a jury the ques-
ton whether plaintiffs services were rem
dered to defendant gratuitously as 3
member of his family, or whether they
were rendered upon an agreement for
compensation.
Held, further, that the court below
erred in holding, on defendants motion
for new trial, that there was mo evil
