AMUSE MENTS.

The Tyrolean Concert Company ap- peared at Seals Hall last night under the auspices of the Lyceum and delighted large audience. The company is made up of artists and the beautiful melody which filled the little hall during the evening was truly entrancing. A more delightful programme was never rendered in Birmingham, every number of which was a gem. Applause was liberally be- slowed and a number of encores were responded to. The concert was a decided success.

A Busting of Criminals.

Yesterdays police market was very dull. Crime could be had at buyers op- tion, so to speak, and any criminal could get his case tried at any time. Instead of a crowd of lawyers beseiging the judge's stand, asking permission to make an entry of their case then and there, so they could make their exit 10 loaf elsewhere in regions where the bou- quet d Afrique was not so pronounced instead of all this lawyers were non est, as our ancient Roman friends were fond sof saying.

"Is this case of Jfm-Jams, Arabella?"

''Is this case of Jfm-Jams, Arabella?" asked the judge.
 "Carrabela," said the boy. My name is not Arabella-I am no girl"
 ''So see" said the judge. Jam would be a good name though for a girl-it is so sweet But proceed-the city needs the proceeds of this court"
 Jam proceeded and said that he and Jim were playing game of marbles, that he got the bones off Jims knucks and then wanted to quit the game, but that Jim hit him on the head five times with marble, saying that there was luck in odd numbers.
 Jim then took the stand and began to cry. He said that he had been reading Edgar Allen Poe's poem of the Raven, and the part of the poem about the raven gently tapping, tapping, kept running through his head and he tried the only way that suggested itself to get 1t into Jams head. Moreover that Jam owed him some marbles, but only gave him the marble. heart and the merry ha. ha. At this he burst open a fresh package of teardrops

A Case of Jim-Jams.

Jim Brown was a small darkey who turned out to be black cry baby. He was accused of fighting a little white boy.
 Who says Jim is guilty?" asked the judge. Here so many witnesses arose that it seemed that the whole audience was rising en masse to proclaim Jim's guilt.
 Things look dark for you, Jim." said the judge. By things, I mean the wit nesses."
 ''Dey do look CT little dark jedge," said Jim, but appearances are deceitful"
 Possibly some of them are full of de- ceit," said the judge, but let us see. I have sometimes seen through glass darkly, and maybe can see through the same kind of a witness

HIS STRENUOUS TRIP
ALL THE TERRORS OF
ssMOVING TIME''
DRIVER WAS FR0LICsoME
In Transporting His Effects From
Minneapolis to ST. Paul Some
Unexpected and Exciting Al
ventures Developed.

All the troubles of knowing time in
peculiarly aggravated form were yes
terday visited upon the head of Andrew
Stevens, and because that gentleman was
in the act of displaying the good judg-
ment of transferring all his goods and
chattels from Minneapolis to the SANITY
city he considers he was very hardly
used.
From the sorroWful tale which Mr.
Stevens unfolded to the local police yes
terday afternoon it appears that he con-
tpacted with the Central Fuel Transfer
& Storage company, of Minneapolis, to
transport all the worldly goods of which
he is possessed to his future home On
Stryker avenue He agreed to pay for
this service at the rate of So per load,
and in order to pilot the driver of the
vehicle to the proper address, accompa-
MED him on the box seat. The journey
had not long been in progress before he
was appriSed of the fact that the Sociable
Jehu was Enthusiastically drunk. Addition
al evidence on this point was afforded
by the jolly driver applying himself at
frequent intervals with intense relish to
a large bottle, which Mr.. Stevens rightly
guessed contained goodly supply of ar
dent spirits.
Midway between the two cities the
drayman insisted showing his Gus
toner how close he could shave 1teie-
phone and street railway poles without
actually colliding with them. His per-
centage of successful attempts was not
surprisingly high. and the frequent jolts
against unyielding posts did something
more than merely scrape the paint off
various articles of bric-a-brac, much to
the alarm of the indignant owner. Az
little later the driver proclaimed aloud
that he was an unerring marksman, and
to demonstrate the same aimed chairs
and other handy articles at any
convenient target appealing to his fam
cy. The owner of the improvised mis-
siles was kept busy dismounting and col
lecting more or less dilapidated remnants
of the skill of the gentleman in charge
of the expedition.
Arriving at Exchange and Sixth streets
the handler of the reins, actuated by
humane impulse, decided to stop for the
purpose of refreshing his tired steeds,
and while this was in progress Mr.. Ste
vens lost no time in putting himself in
communication with the police officer
Morse was sent to investigate from the
Central station, and he finding the driver
in an advanced state of intoxication, plac
ed him under arrest. Some time was con-
sumed in inducing the Minneapolis man
that it was necessary for him to aban-
don his cargo and his horses, but he did
in the end accompany the officer to head
quarters, where he was promptly
tabled" as plain drunk
Mr.. Stevens collected as much of his
property as he could find within radius
of a few blocks, and then, with his two
cows tied securely behind the wagon,
drove to his new home, followed by a
small crowd of curious children who had
been much amused by the antics of the
festive driver

HAS NO WALK-OvER
NEW YORKER DISCUSSES SETH
lows CHANCES IN MAYOR
Atty CAMPAIGN
TAMMANY WELL ORGANIZED
Practical Politicians Have No Par
ticular Liking for Republican
Candidate-DOubt Platt's Sin
cerity in Supporting Him.

ThlngS in New York city are not so
optimistic for Seth Low as they might
appear to outsiders" remarked Williston
Jennison, wellknown Republican of
New York, yesterday. There are great
| many Republicans who are not going to
vote at all. A large number of the Platt
element cannot forget or forgive Mr..
Lows attack on the Republican ma
chine three years ago. If he is elected
it will be because of the German vote,
which has grown to be very important
factor in our municipal elections. The
fact that betting is about even at the
present time is no sure indication of the
result; indeed, it is a confession of weak
ness on the part of the Low candidacy
THE talk that Croker had Shepard
nominated to be defeated is all nonsense.
Tammany has it's campaign thoroughly
organized and will fight to the death
When election time comes around Sulli-
van and Croker will be found together
The talk of a fight between them is all
fake-a trick they have tried before Mr..
Shepard is highly thought of in New
York, and notwithstanding the fact that
his best friends think he made a mistake
in accepting a nomination from Tam
many under the circumstances, there will
be very little boiling on the part of those
who supported him for the anti-Tam-
many nomination. The prejudice against
LOW atiiohS TIC pidcIicdl poliltcldAS Is
hard to overcome. Mr.. Low is making a
gallant fight, and, of course, he has a
chance of winning, but it is only a
chance, and the odds. at present would
seem to be in favor of the Tammapy
candidate. There has been some talk that
President Roosevelt would lend his as
sistance to Low, but there is no likeli-
hood of this being true. Lows candidacy
is harmed in two ways by the Plat in
fiuence Those who believe that Plat
is sincere in his support of Low say that
Low must have knuckled down to Platt
in his desire to be elected, while others
believe that Platt is bluffing and hopes
to see Low defeated. 1t viii. at any rate,
be the hveliest campaign New York has
seen for a long time and the result will
probably be very Close

Molina is but one of many prominent
Cubans who have publicly advised the
use of Paine's celery compound, bas-
ing their recommendations on the bene-
fit they themselves have derived from its
use.
Not only among business men, law
yers; clergymen and physicians, but
among all classes of thoughtful, inteni-
gent people. Paine's celery compound
is the one reliable remedy for building
UP the system when it is run down. It
is the greatest nerve and brain invigora-
tor the world has ever known
If your wife, daughter or sister is
pale, languid, headachy and irritable
persuade her to try Paines celery COM

cannot eat, sleep or work, and is drowsy,
dyspeptic and respondent, induce him to
take Paines celery compound.

system to healthy Vigor.
There can be no substitute for Paine's
celery compound.

BUYS MORE ORE LANDS
UNITED STATES STEEL COMPANY
REACHING OUT IN MINNESOTA. =

The United States Steel company is
anxious to secure more ore in this state,
and with this end in view is reliably re-
ported to be acquiring additional ore
land in Itasca county, on the western
end of the MeSsaba range.
The Olivier Iron Mining company,
which belongs to the big corporation, is
the medium through which more prop
erty is being acquired. and this company
recently bought fortS acres two miles
southeast of the Diamond property. The
land was owned by Grand Rapids par
ties, and it is said that the consideration
was $4,000. While this is a small sum
compared with prices paid for desirable
and well proved properties, it is never
theless significant of the faith. probably
based on actual knowledge, of the pos
sibilities of the district round about the
Diamond property.

at South st. Paul was Started early last
summer have been fully justified, and
that enterprise is now on a satisfactory
basis and constantly expanding. The
association now has from $3.50, coo to $17O,-
coo loaned on safe security.
This enterprise was started to stimulate
cattle raising and cattle feeding among
the farmers of this region, and its pri-
mary object was to benefit the St Paul
stock yards but it has become of itself
a paying institution from business
standpoint.
