On an Erran0.

A little fellow was sent a message
by his mother to lady. When he
had delivered it he did not seem in a
hurry to go; and the lady noticing
this, asked him if there was anything
else his mother had hidden him say.
She was not prepared for his reply:
"She said I wasn't to ask anything
for coming, but if you gave me any
thing I was to take t."-Golden Days.

Investigating.

The St. Paul Humane society is in
vestigating a case of alleged cruelty to
cattle. It is said that the car which
conveyed them from North Dakota was
partly burned en- route, and the cattle
in some instances were so severely
burned that the flesh dropped from
them, and were allowed to remain
alive in great agony at the South St.
Paul stock wards.

CLOSELY QUESTIONED.
Judge Advocate Lemly Cross-Ex.
amlncs Admiral Schlcy.

Washington. Oct. 29-The cross-exam-
nation of Admiral Schley began Monday
before the court of inquiry, and hardly
more than a third of the ground was COW
cred when the court adjourned at four
! o'clock. After Admiral Schley concludes
! to-day two other witnesses will be called
in his behalf. Admiral Baker and Capt.
Thomas Borden. The latter was an off,
Ger Of the marine corps aboard the Brook
Ign. The judge advocate then will call
his witnesses in rebuttal, Of whom there
are understood to be more than 10, and 1t
Is probable that Admiral Schley's counsel
! will call witnesses in sur-rebuttal.
Nothing sensational developed Monday.
and the only outburst lin the court occurred
when Mr.. Rayner. Admiral Schley's coun-
sci, objected to a line of inquiry of the
judge advocate designed to criticise Ad-
m;ral Schley's alleged failure to formulate
a plan of battle, with the declaration that
as Admiral Sampson was in command his
Junior had no right to plan order Of
battle.
Admiral Schley concluded his direct ex-
amina ton. which continued only about ten
minutes after the court convened Monday
morning, with a statement of the effect OF
the fire of the respective fleets at Santiago,
showing that 36 per cent Of the hits suf-
fered by the enemy were scored by the
Brooklyn's fve-lnch guns. while his ship
received 20 per cent of the hits from the
spanish SulpS.
Capt. Lemlys cross-examination was
very searching. Admiral Schley however.
appeared to be unruffled throughout the ex-
animation, frankly admitting on several oc-
cas:ons that he could not remember little
details after the lapse of three years. One
line Of inquiry which the judge advocate
! tried to press to show that Admiral Schley
did rot proceed with dispatch" from Key
West to Cienfuegos by attempting to con-
trast the speed made between Charles ton
| and Key West with the time between Key
West and Cienfuegos was curtailed by a
decision of the court, which confined the
! questions to the time subsequent to May
10, the day on which the flying squadron
left Key West
The judge advocate in his cross-exam-
| nation dwelt upon the interview between
| Admiral Sampson and Commander Schley
at Key West before the departure of the
| flying squadron, at which the latter testi-
fled that Admiral Sampson instructed him
not to expose his ships to shore batteries
until the Spanish fleet had been destroyed,
on the fact that Admiral Schley issued no
written order of battle, on the question OF
! coaling off Cienfuegos and the steps Schley
took there to ascertain the presence of the
Spanish fleet. He was cross-examining the
witness upon matters connected with the
cruise of the squadron from Cienfuegos tc
Santiago when the court adjourned

A Silent Team.

Minneapolis has a team of football
players which is quite unique. They
play the game absolutely without noise.
All roofing in the commonly &C.
copied term of the word, is barred.
There is no yelling. Even the signs
are given inaudibly. The game is
played in silence, but it is hard fought
nevertheless, and the team is no mean
antagonist. Noise, and lots of it, has
come to be regarded as necessary to
football, but with this team noise is
not part of the game. They are all
muteS.

While it is not authoratively an

Causes a Vacancy.

AS is we'll known, the late Governor
Pillsbury was made a life member of
the university board of regents by act
of the legislature, and as his death re-
duces the membership Of that board to
twelve members, some speculation has
arisen as to the method of filling the
vacancy.
Gov. Van SAINT has not examined the
law, but was of the impression that a
regular six year appointment would
have to be made, as the special act
made no provision for any other meth
cd. The governor, however, will refer
the matter to the attorney general
office in due time.

Remains of the Late Senator Davis
Taken to Washington.
WIS., Davls Suddenly Makes Up Her Mind
That His Final Resting Place Shall
BE in the National
Cemetery.

Mrs. Z. K. Davis, of St. Paul, left TO,
Washington. taking with her the re-
mains OF her husband, the late senator,
who died last November.
Since the death of the senator, his
remains have rested in the vault at
Oakland cemetery, and the intention
OF Mrs. Davis to remove them to Wash
lngton was not generally known.
The men at the st. Paul union sta
ton, when they transferred the plain
black casket from the baggage truck
to the Burlington train were unaware
that they were handling the coffin
which contained the body of the dis
tlnguished senator from Minnesota.
The utmost secrecy attended the
transfer of the remains from the ceme-
terry vault to a St. Paul undertaking
Parlor, where they remained until they
were taken to the station.
EARLY in the summer Mrs. Davis
wrote to Mayor Smith of St. Paul, ask
ing the city to set apart plot on Sum-
NIT avenue for the site of tomb for
the remains of her husband She in
dicated at that time that unless such u
step was taken she would have the re-
mains Inferred at Washington. Moth.
ing was done, and for this reason Mrs.
Davis is thought to feel that Washing
ton will be more suitable resting
place. She will spend the winter there.
