atized almost to the limit, is shown in
the fact that few days ago couple
was married in three minutes and twenty
seven seconds. This included all of the
time from the formation of the bridal
procession in the aisle to the moment
when all parties concerned met in the
Office for the signing of papers and the
delivery of the marriage certificate.
The partnerships are cemented with
such speed as to appear almost like sacri-
lege. Members Of the bridal party enter
the church at brisk walk, opening and
closing the doors themselves-for there
are no attendants at the church-step
the altar, where the pastor or his assist
ant, one of whom is always in waiting,
rushes through a short list Of questions
and vows and all is over except the
formal signing of the necessary docu-
ments.
In spite of this speed, however. efforts
are actually under way to increase it.
One plan under favorable consideration
is the English syndicate scheme of plac-
ing half a dozen couples before the minis
ter at once and have the ceremony apply
to all. This would seem to be the limit.
Verify, this is a fast age, and America
is handily leading the procession.

in which the growth of the city is most
marked.
No theory of increased popular interest
in the approaching election will of itself
account for the added registration. The
increase is due chiefly to the great addi-
tions made to the citys population dur
ing the past two years. A vacant dwell
ing or store in this city at this time is
not to be seen. Rents have accordingly
increased and the building record of the
city is shown to be ahead Of that of any
city at all approaching it's population in
the entire country during the past two
years.
The only issue before the people of st.
Paul in this election is whether a con-
ceded capable, economical and upright
administration of the peoples affairs will
or will not receive their approval. The
large registration indicates that the YER
dict, whatever it is, will be the verdict
of all of our people who are really worthy
of being invested with the elective fran
chise.

an Exhaustive Report.
Special to The Globe.

RED WING, April 27.-J " Brewer,
Prof, Warren Upham, Prof. Edward
W. Smith and other gentlemen in
terested have commenced a thorough in
vestigation concerning Prairie Island and
the discovery Of Minnesota The entire
party, which also includes DR.. Sweeney
and w. w. Hill, of Red Wing. and Mr.
Crosby, of Hastings. seems to be harmon
ious for the accomplishment Of definite
information.
1t is now known as one of the results
that the supposed site of LIE Sueur's fort,
near the inlet to Sturgeon lake. on Prairie
Island, was an ancient potkiln used by
Indians for the manufacture of clay YES
sells. The base of the kiln has been ex-
cavated.
The largest ancient town of the region
was not On Prairie Island, but across
the Mississippi, near Diamond Bluff in
Wisconsin.
Examine Efigy Mounds.
Efhgy mounds have been examined, in
termiXed with very numerous earthworlks
of various kinds, all of which form many
mound groups between Hastings and
Zumbro river, on the Minnesota side,
and Prescott and Alma on the Wisconsin
side of the Mississippi, which includes
the entire shore line of Lake Pepin Ore
effigy near the city of Wabasha is in the
form of bird with outstretched wings.
Another on Prairie Island seems to be
intended to represent very long reptile
or fish.
Representatives of the Historical So
ciety expect to be able to perfect for pub
location an exhaustive report Of the earli-
est occurrences at Prairie Island, Red
Wing and other points, bearing upon the
question whether Minnesota was first dis
covered near Lake Pepin or on the up
per portion of ST CrOiX river
Relics Go to Historical Society.
Collections have been made and thirteen
packages of stone implements and other
relics forwarded to the Historical so
ciety.
Last Tuesday the exploring party ex-
amined many of the Prairie Island earth
works, and one peculiar artificial struc-
ture 256 feet long just below the outlet
of Sturgeon lake.
At the crest of Maiden rock there is
small mound, and a granddaughter of
Wacouta, now living at Wabasha, relates
a new story concerning the tree scat
fold upon which Wacoutas remains rest
ed before interment on top of the rock.
One peculiar boulder outline rests
against the side of steep bluff oppO-
site the state training school. 1t is in
the form of a bow and arrow 215 feet
long, and it is plainly observed at dis
lance Of three miles.
One of Perrot's establishments, in 1888,
seems to have been located on the high
river terrace at the present northerly
limit Of the city of Wabasha, near a
large village on the Minnesota side of
the Mississippi.

BLIND BOY USES
LIPS TO IDENTIFY
Knows the Denomination of Coins
and Can Tell Apart Articles Ia
Which Seeing Persons Fail.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 27-John
Porter Kelley, an Akron colored boy
thirteen years of age, astonished his
physicians and nurses during his stay
at the Huron street hospital by a phenom-
email development of sense perception
though the touch of his lips. The boy
nas been blind several years.
He can identify any article after he has
once handled it by merely touching it to
his lips He can tell the denomination of
money in this manner. His nurses pro-
vided him with a number of playthings,
among them two tops, exactly alike. He
called them tom and Jerry" and could
tell which was Tom and which was Jerry
as soon as his lips came into contact with
them, although nobody else could tell
them apart.
Another interesting faculty possessed by
this strange boy is the sense of perception
through the hands. He told who his
nurses were by placing his hands on their
heads Physicians are puzzled over the
boys strange power of identification
through his lips. They have never known
of a similar case.

mERRTmENr OYER 4 uoNUmENr


Carl G. Peterson, Evanston, Ill. has I'M
dertaken to prove that a grave sort Of
merriment can be had in a cemetery. Pet
erson has centered a comedy in one Snort
act about enc light gray granite monu-
ment which weighs a ton and cost 5000.
The principal characters outside of Pet
erson himself are his two wives. both
dead ones. That Peterson ever loved eth
er of these women with fervor is not ma lie
clear The first of them passed to her
reward some years ago and was buried in
a modest sort of way in RosehilI ceme-
terry, Chicago. Later a second wife ap-
peared, but she also faded and died. She,
however, had reached the conclusion to
have shaft duly inscribed with her name
and good qualities placed over her grave
That her wish should be carried out she
placed the money in the hands of her
eldest daughter, with instructions to see
that her tomb was properly marked Her
instructions were followed out to the
letter.
This act set Peterson to thinking and
as ne thought he grew angry He made
up his mind he had been sighted, if not
insulted, by wife No. 2. So he proceeded to
even up with the dead by having the mon
ument removed from her grave with the
view Of placing it over that of wife No.
1. He had the monolith taken to a stone
cutters, where the name of wife No 2
was chiseled off and that Of wife No. 1
put thereon. He also ordered the man
with the chisel to cut into the marble re-
marks uncomplimentary to wife No. 2
But right at this point trouble arose. The
children of wife No. filed a suit in re-
plevir for the monument on the ground
that they were it's custodians.
So it is that the graves of Mrs. Peterson
No. and Mrs. Peterson No are wholly
unmarked, while the husband of botn and
the children of one quarrel over which
shall have all the marble and which none.
Probably neither will get it. In the mean
time, Peterson ought to be sufficiently
ashamed of himself to go away some
where and hide for about two years.

MAKES An ARTIFICIAL EGG,

A mere man named Murray, who has
out Of chemicals, threw a chill over every
owner of hennery in America a few
days ago by announcing that he could
make as good eggs as laid by the high
est pedigreed hen in the land. The hens
would have been shocked, too, had their
heads been large enough to carry a brain
which seethes with thought, but as things
stood they merely went on undistu1bed
laying for the human family.
Murray has made and is making eggs
with good yolks and whites ard even
shells. Having demonstrated precisely
what the egg of commerce contains he
subjects the ingredients for the yolk to
freezing temperature, forming it into
solid ice, and then surrounds the con-
gealed substance with white or albumen
preparation. He then freezes this COM
bnatIon into proper shape, subjects it to
a solution Of lime calcium or chalk while
undergoing a rotary motion in a driving
temperature of heat. After being sub
mitted to the heat for a proper length Of
time, the shell is hard and the white and
yolk are thawed out, each retaining it's
proper relative position. The artificial egg,
is thus complete and ready for the table.
Right at this point, however. the hen
would have the laugh on Murray if she
were equipped for merriment of that
character. The law of supply and demand
and cheapness of production makes no
exception of Murray. They work along,
the same cold, unchanging and unchange-
able lines with him as with anybody else.
Having manufactured his egg and thrown
bouquets to himself for his skill. he must
go out and discover a market for it. He
finds the commercial stumbling block IS
large. To his sorrow he learns that the
hen is annually laying eggs enough with
out working overtime to reproduce her
species and supply the demands Of the
food market at a price which Murray can
not meet. This leaves the hen in possess
sion Of the field.

pH1EADE1PH1A FREE MARR1AGEs

PHILADELPHIA FREE M3RRIAGES
Philadelphia, that slow-going old
Quaker municipality which is generally
mere drifter and imitator, has finally
done something so decidedly new and
original that it is sure to get itself talked
about. Philadelphia has formed a co-par-
tnership with Dan Cupid, and the two
are doing a rushing business. Philadel-
phia has a church where young people
can go one day each week and get
united in the holy bonds OF wedlock with
out money and without price. Of course
it is not hard for even an ordinary intel
lect to grasp that this innovation not only
largely increases the number of young
persons who take marriage vows, but
causes them to wait for the bargain
day.
The idea has become so popular that
free Cupid day" brings a regular crush
to the church, and its pastor and assist
ant are at the verge of distraction. The
couples come in carriages, on foot and
frequently by train from points 100 miles
away, and sometimes there are dozen
at the sanctuary at once waiting to take
the nuptial vows Of course there is the
chance of mix-ups of ridiculous or seri-
Gus character. In one instance, amid
confusion, bushes and ludicrous explana-
tons, a girl was married to a man whom
she had never seen. Everything is done
in a hurry, and it is really a wonder that
more mistakes are not made. That the
ceremony has been sirnplified and system

THE INCREASED REGISTRATION

Whatever may be the result of the
approaching election, every good citizen
will rejoice at the great additions made
TO the list of registered voters Those
additions place two facts beyond dis
Pute First-That the people are deeply
interested in the affairs of the munich
Pality and, second, that the population
Of the city is at high tide.
It is inevitable that each party should
claim to be the principal beneficiary of
the increased registration. There is no
way by which to reach a decisive con-
clusion on this question.
The increase of the registered vote
over that of two years ago is 1889.
According to the figures the distribu-
ton of this addition among the yards,
the safely Republican wards are shown
to have shared in the increases, as fol-
lows:
First ward .2O5 Eleventh ward e. CT
Seventh ward PIP =
Tenth ward ......231l Total ..........715
Among the safely Democratic wards
the increase is distributed as follows:
Third ward 800 3S3INinth ward .... 70
Fourth ward 80. 296
Fifth ward 800
Sixth ward 237 Total ........1 ,31j
Among the doubtful wards the increase
is distributed as follows:
Second ward ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Eighth ward NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. .511
On Saturday, the last day, the regis
tration was distributed among the Dem
ocratic wards, as follows: Third, 254;
Fourth, 271; Fifth, 354; Sixth, 3O3; Ninth.
32s. Total, 1,511.
The registration on Saturday in the
Republican wards showed as follows:
First ward, $40; Seventh ward, 2S5; Tenth
ward, 1G6; Eleventh ward, 1873. Total, 974
The Second and Eighth, or doubtful
wards, registered 727 votes on Saturday
1t will be thus seen that the safely
Democratic wards shared in the increased
registration to the extent of 1875 names,
while the safely Republican wards got
an addition of rs names out of a total
increase of 2,S39
Saturdays registration added ISL
votes to the registry lists of the Demo-
cratic wards, and ga to the Republican
wards, out of a total of 32O6.
These figures do not show much in them
selves on which to base reliable calcula-
tons regarding the probable result of
the election. They do show, however.
that the local Republican politicians have
drawn extensively on their imagination
and emotions for the favorable conclus-
ions they are represented as reaching
through them.
The partisans of both sides may accept
these figures as indicating the localities

THE GRUNT OF THE GAME HOG.

Behold Me-
I'm the Game Hog;
But just the same,
| am not as game
AS [ am hog.
I couldn't well be,
Because, you see,
1t is my will
To kill
and kill
And kill
For sake of the killing only
To slaughter for slaughter'S sake,
To ransack the field,
The forest and river and lake.
No bird in the air,
No fish in the sea,
No animal on earth
Is safe from Me.
I pile the plain
With what | have slain.
The inland woods and the shore,
And the more L shoot,
The more [ root
For more and more and more.
The sportsman kills
AS a gentleman should,
And when he has met his need,
He finds no fun
In using his gun
To crafty a greed.
But Me?
Well, you see,
I'm a hog, I am,
And l don't givadam
How many I get,
And / never let
A thing get away
From my gun-play
What is the game for,
But to kill?
What are the birds for,
But to fill
My insatiate bag;
And l never flag
In doing the whole stunt
When | go out to hunt.
And when I have killed
All there is in sight.
/ pile them up
To their Hottest height,
And take my place
Beside the pile
To have my photo taken.
My smile,
Just then, is something
You ought to see
To make you pleased
With my work and Me.
By gosh, it takes
A photograph
To show just how
/ get in my CUFF
On the helpless things
I slaughter for fun
With any old thing
You can call a gun.
Oh say,
Don't L look gay,
Done up in that slaughter-pen way?
I'm Game Hog with greedy grab,
And quite well known to fame,
/ haven't got bristles on my back yet,
Butt get there just the same.
See?
That's Me.
Gee WhiZ,
What a hog of hogs
The Game Hog is.
