Somebody once said of Oliver Gold-smith that no man was wiser when hehad a pen in his hand, nor morefoolish without one. It might besaid that Alden J. Blethen is in

aineasure the antithesis in characterof Goldsmith. In business and on thestreet he passes for a man ofgood judg-ment, good temper, good stomach andgood intentions, but lock him up in theTribune sanctum in sight of a pen anda cauldron ofseething: nonsense begins

to tremble withinhim, and anon he be-gins to belch forth the most horrid andinflated rhetoric on the most trivialsub-jects.

Yesterday ittook him two-thirds of acolumn of 'the Tribune's presumablyvaluable space to deny a statement inthe Journal that he was roasted by theExposition board, and in the course othis wild whoopings he editorially calledthe Journal men "fellows," "liars" and"asses," and in other and divers man-ner- gave evidence of the pain givenhim by the tire, smoke and melted lavawithin. ...

-l-The reception given Dr. Ames recalls

the time that the city of .Minneapolisturned out and cave Mitchell W. Glenna welcome home. It was 1882 or 1883that Col. Glenn, having bruised histhumb witha boiler hammeror contract-ed rheumatism from standing in thedraught of the fuels, retired to Xeuia,0., or some other quiet place, to recu-perate. He was absent a month, andreturned invigorated with the balmy

breezes of Ohio, and stepped jauntilyfrom the train, intending to scoot upFourth avenue south, change his trav-ingcostume for his overalls and go to?work on a big order he had broughtborne with him. He got off the train,but had not gone twenty steps beforehe ran into4,000 of his fellow citizens,who had come down to the sta-tion to receive him. They hustledhim into a carriage, formed a proces-sion, marched and countermarched,shouted and formed columns of fours,

while the colonel tried to decide inhisown mind whether they were vigilants

or peaceably inclined. At the Nicolletbouse they rested, pulled him out ofthecarriage, rushed him through the lobbyand up stairs to the balcony overlook-Ing Washington avenue. The colonelthought his hour had come and waslooking around for a rope when thechairman put his hand on his shoulderand said: "Ladies .and gentlemen, Ihave the honor to introduce our dis-tinguished and honored fellow citizenwhom we are all delighted to have backwithus after his tour." Glenn saw thenthe procession like the second empirewas peace and made his acknowledge-ments. Abanquet followed at whichwine flowed like Republican promisesof retrenchment and reform.

E. A.Taylor has come out of his como-tose condition since Boston has again

tied New York for the National leagnepennant. The eminent Flub Dub ex-pects yet to see the flag wave from theroof ofFaneuil hallor the top of Bunkerbillmonument.

Rather an amusing joke was perpe-trated by Dr. Kilvingtonon a couple ofhungry evening newspaper reporters

last week, who drifted into the healthoffice in search of an item. The doctorhad a large bottle containing a reddishfluid, for "analysis, which an East sideresident claimed to have, bought at adrug store, and which had caused con-siderable trouble in his family.

??Give us an item, doctor," said one."Can't do it," replied the doctor."Well, then give us a cigar or a

drink.""Imight give you a drink, butIam

Out of cigars. A* friend of mine justpresented me with a very line bottle ofwine though, which youare welcome to

Bampie." : ? -.

This was a bonanza .which they lostno time in examining with the result,

that the pedestrians on the walk belowthought a second deluge had struck thetown. The doctor is satisfied no furtherExperiments are necessary.

?i?r The action, or rather motion, of thecity council regarding the suspensionbridge is something truly remarkable.Ifthe bridge is unsafe, and that it isthere can be no doubt,' it si ou:d havebeen closed within twenty-four hoursfrom the time that the council was first\u25a0warned, now more than a week ago.But no, the matter went to a committeeand from the committee back to thecouncil and from the council back to thecity engineer, and now the bridge is tobe closed to heavy travel, that is so faras a G. A.K. watchmen and a few signscan close it. City Engineer Rinker is aman who knows his business, and if?what he says regarding the condition ofthe wood work on the bridge be true, ithas been only the hand of Providencethat has held up the structure for sometime, and a carload of N.ew Boston pio-

neers is likely to be dumped into thecity water supply at any moment.- _____

Ex-County Coroner R.J. Hillhas pe-culiar ideas of charity and doesn't caretogive to people about whose povertyhe has doubts, though he is liberal incases where assured of the worthinessof the cause. The other day the doctorthought to test a ragged mendicant forassistance, and inquired whether or nohe ever worked. ->; -

;"Work, sir? I've always worked un-

til1 took sick an' lost my place, sir.""How long ago was that?""Nearly two years, sir."'That rattier staggered the doctor, who

thought a good hustler ought to be abletoget a situation in that time, but heasked the old fellow ifhe would like towork, and he was sure he would. Thedoctor had some wood to saw, so afterengaging the seeker for alms, he went

to hunt up the apparatus thinking::

"Here is one honest beggar who is will-ing to work if given a chance." Thedoctor found a bucksaw, but no saw-buck saw, so he gave the gentleman ofleisure a dollar to purchase the neces-sary equipment. Mr.Man took the dol-lar wingreat alacrity and started outin a way that would lead one to supposehe was an enthusiastic shopper, andagain the doctor sighed contentedlyand thought he had found a specimenof the worthy poor, meanwhile thespecimen aforesaid was rapidly forget-ting the number of the doctors house,and was also for getting all the spacepossible between itand himself.

The Chrysanthemum club held one ofits famous feeds at the hash foundry ofEminent Past Grand Flub-Dub K.A.Taylor last night, and song and revelrycheered the guests and excited thepatrolman on the bate until a late hourof the morning. There were severalcauses wliichled to the gathering. Firstand foremost, the new Chrysauthmumwaltz,dedicated tothe club by "Pope*'Gooding, its composer, was to be prop-erly received and resolutions acknowl-edging the compliment passed. Thenthere were tearful good-byes to be saidto L.Berrisford Lyttle. of the Tribune,who is about to leave for Washington,I).C, and J. Terrance Mannix, of thePioneer Press, who willset out to-mor-row on a journey to his former

'home

inMalone, Ohoue county, N. Y. Then,too, Dr.Ames was home, and it wasfitting that some appropriate welcomeshould be arranged for him. All thesematters were properly attended to, andthen the gang adjourned to the river tomingle their tears with the waters ofthe Mississippi, while Luther and Jcs-seph stood hand in hand and sung the'good-night song."

Frank Catherin says he hopes hisefforts toward making Minneapolisthoroughly Metropolitan will be appre-ciated. "Minneapolis now has a fourhundred, of which Iam the McAllis-ter," said he the other day, just aftermaking out 400 of the Pickwick clubmembership tickets."

Capt. John N. Harris, that noble mili-tary hero who has lead the MinneapolisFlambeau club to the many deeds ofglory, has resigned. His reasons for sodoing are a profound secret, but it hasleaked out that Capt. Harris really ex-pected that his many fine qualities as asoldier and a leader would win for himan indorsement from the Union leaguefor the office of commissioner of Den-sions, but now that he has been passedover for a mere upstart who neverhad a flambeau club, and has only beena judge of the district court and com-mander inchief of the Grand Armj ofthe Republic, he has concluded to be-come a recluse, or else to apply for?hisold positiou.

Itis now time for the MinneapolisBase Ball team to indorse Judge JohnP. Sea as commissioner of pensions.There would be no question as to theindorsement coming from their heartsin all sincerety, just as does the judge'sindorsement of the team, and itmightserve them well when they became dis-abled veterans of the bat. There is notellingbut that the pension rolls wouldbe extended to include them among the"oldboys.' 1

Now that the base ball games areabout all played and the Exposition isover, and the cable questions are beingamicably settled, the licensed humor-ists, cartoon builders and local chestnutcrackers in general, will have to spenda few hours inthe unwonted occupationof thought in order to concoct a new de-vice for their jokes.

Calvary Baptist "church gave a dimesocial Friday night. Itis a question asto whether Rev. "(Jolightly Morrill"in-spected the dimes to see ifthey were"clean."

-!-The Tribune, that authentic periodi-

cal published for the dissemination ofnews among the Scandinavian popula-tion in the Northwest, heralds the as-tonishing fact in one of the sheetsprinted last week that the "Swedishcelebration is said not to have been asuccess financially." Has this familynewspaper become so imbued with the.idea that every institution is for thesole purpose of grabbing boodle, that abody of patriotic Swedes cannot form inline and float their banners to celebratethe date when the first Ole Olesonstepped on the red clay of the Delawarecoast without their jumping at the con-clusion that itwas a big financial spec-ulation?

How is this? Capt. James Tates. a"converted newspaper reporter," willassist Maj.Hugh Wbatmore, ofChicago,in leading the Salvation Armymeetingsto-day. The dime museum might aswell back down on the freak business,a newspaper man in the Salvation Armyis surely the most abnormal personagethat has yet visited Minneapolis. Capt.Yates is said to have been a tough anddead game spoit on London papersprior to his capture by the army. Itwould seem, too, that he has been usinghis influence on the Minneapolis army.The army is going to hold a banquetMonday night, which is another strokeofenterprise. We'll be hearing of Sal-vation Armysocial clubs and base ballteams yet.

Nat Goodwin, the comedian, has gotsome sensible ideas about stage proprie-ties. He forbids members of his com-pany from receiving bouquets over thefootlights, and it's a good rule. Whenan usher flies down an aisle holdingaloft abouquet, which he hands totheleader of the orchestra, who in turnhands it to the star, the attention isdrawn from the play, and is centeredupon the individual, and the dramaticspell is broken. So Miss Lizette LeBaron's admirers Friday night wereforced to content themselves iby send-ing their floral offerings to the stagedoor.

-I-As Dr. Ames may naturally want to

know how things have been gettingon during his

- absence, \u25a0 the Globeprints the following extract, in thenature of a review from the staid oldfamilypaper, the Spectator, of strongRepublican proclivities:

Apoor tired policeman has nightly laidhim down to rest in a hammock under thewindow of Alderman Barrows, and the ham-mock, warranted to hold two lovers, groanedbeneath the weight of the policeman andperchance an occasional servant girl"throwninforballast. Barrows was like the mansurfeited withliver. He "could stand itforthirtyor forty times hand-running, but notthe year round." An ungrateful aldermanthis, is to complain of the man who stood orlay guard over his premises to keep burglarsfrom "burgling." The police are tender-hearted, too. Even Supt. Brackett shrinksfrom being a butcher, and he is said totake pity on some thirty blind pigs indifferent parts of the city which arewaxing fat and "really need killin',"as the old farmer's wifesaid of her squeal-ers. Only these pigs do not squeal, the po-licemen should do that. Itis reported thatinMayor Babb's own ward there are severaldrug stores retailing lots of"bag juice," andthat me citizens have taken largely to carry-ingpocket pistols to defend against chills,malaria and various kinds of fits, includingmis-tits matrimonially. Gamblers and mad-ams also need to be looked after a little moresharply in this city. Itwas Mr.Gjertsen whomade the motion in the police commissionsome time since looking to the arrest of thesepeople, and, the vote \u25a0 being put, it waspassed, but it seems conveniently to havebeen allowed to slumber. He also desired tohave city dead beats made topay their debts.O. S.has been inclined to regard Giertsenas an offoxand one desinous of thwartingthe vigorous execution of tue law and orderpolicy,but facts are being now developedshowing the mayor to lack that noble stiff-ness in the back which he should have.

The Theatre comique is still permitted torunand beer is freely sold in the boxes,though the place has been refused a license.Anitem in the papers this week speaks 01 agirlthere who refused to sell beer and re-sented an imputation that she was notchaste. So strange a stand by a TheatreComique girl has astonished everybody.(The young fellow ran to prevent, her com-mittingsuicide so she certainly was chased.)At the notorious First street houses liquor isalso sold. How is this, Chief Brackets andMajorBabb?

Judge Hooker, ever on the alert forthe good of the city of Minneapolis andHennepin county, made a commenda-ble sanitary move in changing theplace oftrial of the divorce case of Au-gust vs. Paulina Kohuke to Wrightcouuty.

PAVINGDIFFICULTIES.Judge Smith Restrains the City

From Putting Asphalt on ParkAvenue.Edward H. Barrett and the other

members of the firm of the MinneapolisSidewalk and Pavement company havebegun an action against August G.Park-hurst, The Parkhurst Paving companyand the German-American

-bank and

the city ofMinneapolis."The action is

brought to have a contract relating tothe paving of Portland avenue betweenthe city and the parties in the actionamended. Judge Hooker has approveda bond temporarily enjoining the Ger-man-American bank and the city frompaying the money on the contract totheParkhurst Paving company.

The difficultyarose something in thiswise. Parkhurst was engaged in theemploy of the company, and securedand made contracts. The plaintiffsclaim that he secured this contract fortheir company, and afterwards formedthe Parkburst Paving company and didthe work independent of them.

Judge smith yesterday made perma-nent the temporary injunction granted

some days ago restraining the cityofficials from carrying the resolutions ofthe council ordering the paving ofParkavenue with asphalt. The applicantsfor the injunction claimed that the reso-lutions did not pass the council by thenecessary two-thirds vote. Judge Smithheld that any violation of the provisionsof the citycouncil in this respect wouldbe bad policy. As the council annulledthe order for the paving Friday night,the order was hardly necessary.

The trialof the suit for divorce ofHonora E. vs. Charles R. Kimball wasinprogress yesterday before Judge Rea.The defendant a few years ago was awell-known ticket broker, and before

He had blue black ring-lets which he took a great deal of pridein.affected the boulonaire about threeyears ago and went broke, and with hiswife went to California. He did notmend his fortunes there, and hiswife says he failed to support herand took up with other women. Mrs.Kimball. very stylishly dressed, wasin court yesterday, and, among otherthings, stated that her husband is, inher belief, now living inadultery witha woman of Duluth. A. W.

BASE BALL CRANKS.A Vigorous Brood of Them

The season of 1889 has become famousin Minneapolis for the development ofbase ball cranks. The team has beenjust good enough to keep the populacealternately cursing and rejoicing, nowletting blood-red shrieks of triumph,and now the dismal moan, "Our boysdon't play ball." Such an oscillation ofthe penduluni of victory and defeat isjust the thing to build up a three-plycollection ot cranks ?cranks with redfaces, glassy eyes and diaphanousvoices; cranks witnout reason or a glim-mering of Christian charity; jibberingcranks: asinine cranks; splendid spec-tacular cranks with inflamed eyes andred wool in their mouths; melancholy,woe-begone cranks, always looking outfor a foul tipcoming through the grandstand; dyspeptic cranks, always kick-ine on the umpiring? the grandstand isfullof cranks of allages aud sizes whoin consideration of the payment of 50cents in current coin have appointedthemselves sole and absolute judses ofthe conduct of the home team and thebusiness capacity of the management.
