HIS HOME HERE
MIR. Russell n Large Owner of Min.
nenpOlis Realty.

MIR. Russell Large Owner of Min
nenpOlis Realty.
Sol Smith Russell was brother of the
late Judge Robert D. Russell of this city
His own home, so far as a man In his
profession can be said to have a home,
was on First avenue S, adjoining his
brothers residence, at Sixteenth street.
Until a few years ago Mr.. Russell spent
practically all of his vacations in Mime
apolis. He was always loyal to the city,
and he had many friends here. More
over during his absence ION the road"
his children attended the Minneapolis
schools. which Mr.. Russell we'll knew to
be among the best in the country. .
An extensive owner of Minneapolis real
estate, Mr.. Russell always expressed
faith in its value, even during the hard
times when property could be bought al
most for a song. Later he reaped the
reward of his faith. At the time of his
death Mr.. Russell owned the old family
home on First avenue s, the Russell
block on Fifth street, between Hennepin
and Nicollet avenues, valuable tract on
Lowry Hill and other pieces in different
parts of the city. He came here in the
early days Of the town, and saw it grow
to its present position as metropolis Of
the northwest.
The last time he was in Minneapolis a
complimentary banquet was. rendered to
Mr.. Russell by number of his friends at
the Minneapolis club. The occasion
proved most enjoyable. A handsome low
ing cup was presented to the famous
comedian and he was so greatly affected
by the gift that his reply came haltingly,
almost as though he realized it was a
farewell token that had come to him.
Mr.. Russell's illness first became seri-
Gus more than two years ago. He was
playing THE Hon. John Grigsby' in Chi
cago, when he began to humble and hest
tate in his lines. 1t was obvious that
something was wrong and the curtain
was rung down just in time to conceal
from the audience the fact that the star
had tainted dead away. After that Mr..
Russell had alternate periods of compar-
ative health and illness, but he never
fully recovered his strength. One win
ter he spent in Florida with Joe Jefferson,
and the outdoor exercise he took in COM
pany with the dean of the American
stage, did much to strengthen him, al
through chill which he caught prior to
his return north, brought on another re-
lapse
Recently he was attacked by locomotor
ataxia and had to be wheeled about, and
even fed by an attendant 1t has been
known for some time he could not re-
cover.

oils for Washington yesterday.

How the Tariff Benefits the
Packers Understand
ings With R. Rs.

Chicago, April 2S.-During the last two
weeks correspondents Of the Chicago
Record-Herald have made extensive and
painstaking investigations into cattle and
feed conditions in Minnesota, Illinois.
North Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri,
Kansas, Texas, Canada and Mexico
These correspondents have interviewed
tie loans, stock reporters, railway stock
jobbers, editors and others and have
placed themselves in touch with the great
cattle, sheep and hog producing factors.
In the United States they touched the
800 and 500 mile area out from Chicago,
in which the finest beef, pork and mutton
of the world are produced. In Mexico
and Canada they studied the peculiar con-
ditions surrounding the cattle industry
brought about by American tariff restric-
tions. Care was taken to investigate
other subjects that might throw light on
the actual reasons for the present high
prices of provisions to the consumer.
AS a result of their Investigations the
following srmmary,is presented:
First-Drought areas have been compare
lively small, the drought period short, and
the present conditions of the grass fair to

Second-Feed was high during the fall and
winter, and this led to the throwing on the
market of many thin cattle, but not in sum-
cient quantity nor so inferior in quality as to
justify the recent sharp price advances.
Third-The cattle shortage has been greatly
exaggerated, and in steers does not exceed
over 1900, 900, as compared with the last stock
census, that 100000 steers are now on the
ranges.
Fourth-Hogs and sheep are in excellent
condition and the supply apparently is ample
for ordinary demands.
Fifth-Combinaton of the railways with
the big packing firms have existed to the in

Sixth-Prices to cattle sellers have been
regulated by either a one-1nan market. as at
St. Paul, or by mutual agreement meetings Of
packers representatives, as in Sioux City.
Seventh-No incorporated beef trust. is AL

Precautions which Ho Took to Avoid
Trouble With Fronohmon.


The February Century contains tho
hitherto unpublished diary Of Niemce-
wicz, a distinguished Pole who visited
Mt Vernon and had conversations with
General Washington in 1893 Among
the anecdotes is this of the diplomatic
precaution taken by the President in
the matter Of the French emigres:
"wednesday, the 23d, he came with
Mrs. Washington to stay two days in
Mr.. Laws house, where l was. All
the time he was sincere, polite, attent-
i've, but spoke very little; sometimes Of
agriculture, natural history-all you
could wish, except politics, on which
subject he observed discreet silence
and was absolutely reserved, to such
an extent that he never questioned
upon the subject of our unfortunate
revolution, nor upon the least thing
connected with it.
"Once at dinner the conversation
turned upon the account of a voyage
that the Duke Of Liancourt had just
published. The general said:
Mr.. Liancourt will be vexed with
me. When he came into this country
he brought me letters of introduction
from some of the most distinguished
people in England. He had no need Of
them, because, owing to what Mr.. La
fayette said to me, us well as his repu-
tation and conduct, 1 knew the respect
which was his due. Yet did not
ceive him at my house; l was in the
administration, and l made a rule not
to admit any Frenchman who was con-
sidered an emigrant and who should
not be presented by his minister. l had
Mr.. Liancourt informed by my friends
of the motives which obliged me to de-
prive myself of the pleasure of seeing
nIy ta 1y1,i I 1asira1
much, and that as soon as l should be
out of the administration l should want
to see him. But it appears that he took
it badly.
And, after ALL he added. Il read in
Mr.. Monroe's book that the French gov
ernment reproached me with having
received French emigrants.'
