I>DIG>A>T IItISHJtIEN Will Hold a Meeting To->isrlit to Denounce a Tribune Editorial. Quite a number of well-known Irish citi- zens of Minneapolis were seen in consulta- tion yesterday, evidently very indignant and exercised over something. Inquiry led to the following statement: ••We are indignant, you are right. Did you see the editorial in this morning's Tribune? Well, we can stand one or two of those vile attacks, but when they become persistent we're going to show the propri- etors of the paper we have the power to re- sent it. We had 10.000 of these circulars printed, and on Sunday they will be dis- tributed broadcast over Minneapolis." The circular alluded to is bright green in color, with the following printed on it in large type: IRISHMEN. ATTEXTIOX. The Tribune of this c ity yesterday used the following language: "Education is Ireland's only salvation. The oppressor of the Irish people as a whole is no iron-heeled tyrant, but ignorance. Let the sun of edu- cation send its rays through the cloud of barbarian ignorance which hangs over Ire- land, for one generation only, and the re- sult will be astonishing. Ignorance is the weight which keeps Ireland down, and this must be removed before she can take her place as a responsible country on the same plane with her contemporaries/ Irishmen, how do you like this slander? What are you going to do about it? Meet this evening at Windom hall, comer Wash- ington and Second avenues south, at 8 o'clock, and show by your presence that you resent such gratuitous insults from the Minneapolis Tribune, a newspaper which is a curious combination of Boston "culchaw" and Kansas City vulgarity, and which has rancorously assailed the character of the Irish people since the new management took charge of it. Show this poisonous raTtlesnake that he cannot attack Irishmen with impunity. God save Ireland. "Many promineut Irish-Americans will address the meeting/ continued the speaker, "and will handle the Tribune without gloves. The promoters of this movement against the Tribune are de- termined that every Irish family in the city will be made acquainted with its attacks upon the Irish people, and then they can support it if they please." THE PARK COnniSSIOJIERS. The Boulevard Around Lake Har- riet to be Laid this Year. A well attended meeting of the board of park commissioners was held yesterday af- ternoon. The declination of Col. W. S. King of appointment as a member of the board was received and laid on the table. A communication was reryl from the Oak Lake Improvement association calling at- tention to the park in that section of the city, and the necessity of fillingin a portiou of the shore of Oak lake. The society- stated in view of the improvements made already by private citizens that it felt justi- fied in asking the commissioners to appro- priate 8500 to be expended in dredging Oak lake and constructing a boulevard. While the feeling of the board was evinently in the direction of helping the association, it was doubted whether it was in its power to appropriate money for this use.. The mat- ter was finally referred to the attorney, Judge Fish. A letter was read from the Sisters of Mercy hospital, asking the commissioners to buy their hospital property and fixing the price at $25,000 without the building or $30,000 with the building. The matter was laid on the table. THK LAKE HAHBXBT BOULEVARD. GJudge Fish reported that he looked up the titles to the lands abutting Lake Har- riet, and found them incumbered. All of the land but six lots is owned by H. B. Beard and L. F. Menage. The mortgagee gave assmance that the strip of land 125 feet wide about the lake would be con- veyed to the cityupon condition that the* driveway around the lake can be put in rea- sonable condition this year. In the absence of any estimate as to the cost of laying the driveway, the board by a vote indicated that whatever was found necessary would be done to put the boulevard in reasonable condition during the present year, as re- quired by Mr. Menage. STKEETS CONDEMNED. Upon motion of Commissioner Brackett the following streets, between and separat- ing Riverside park, were condemned: Sixth street, between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth avenues south; Seventh street, between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-ninth avenues south; Twenty- eighth avenue, between Eighth and Sixth streets south. That portion of Grant street between and separating Spring Grove park from Fifteenth street southwest to the west line extended north of block 1, E. K. Place's addition, was also condemned. President Loring reported that consider- able injury is being done to the turf at {Spring Grove park, by allowing the public to run over the soft ground, and recom- mended that it should be fenced in. The matter was iinallyreferred to the committee on improvements to post notices and pro- cure the aid of the police to prevent per- sons from driving and walking on the sward. The request of the chief of the fire de- partment, asking for permission to place telegraph poles on Hennepin boulevard, was refused. Upon the motion of Commissioner Suth- erland, the name of Spring Grove park w as changed back to Central park. The naming of the east side park was deferred. FIN FOR SPECTATORS. A Crook WretUliiiff With a Saw Lus iv the River. There is no member of the police force i who experiences more exciting incidents : than does Sergt Kirkham. Yesterday he was notified of a case of robbery, and at i once went to Schiller's saloon to investi- gate. Jerry Smith is a bucolic young man who just came in from the country, lie hail a silver watch which he had traded for with a country cousin, and wanted to sell it. A gang not slow to appreciate his greenness surrounded him and asked to see the watch. The ticker was passed from hand to hand until it reached a brace of crooks standing near the door. They coolly put it in their pocket and leisurely walked awiu~. They were pointed out to Kirkham as they were walking down First avenue north, and the officer arrested them. Soon one took to his heels and ran toward the river. The officer sent two leaden messengers after his re- treating figure without effect. A citizen was called into requisition and the other man turned over to him, when Kirkham took after the fugitive, chasing him out upon the logs in the boom, and several shots were here tired to induce the fellow to return to shore. One bullet struck the water ciose by the man and startled him so he fell into the river. He wrestled with the log for a half hour when three policemen went out and took him in. NOW IT WILL, OPEN. A Car Line Extension to Operate a Local Land Boom. Arrangements have at last been com- pleted and work will begin at once to ex- ! tend the Chicago avenue street car line I from Franklin avenue to Lake street. The | new track will be just a mile in length and will be in operation by the middle of June. For two years the interested residents and property holders have been working for this extension, but not until now have they ! been successful. The arrangement with I Mr. Lowry is that a bonus of $3,508 shall be paid him to reimburse him for the esti- mated loss in two years, during which time the line will not pay. The .extension will open up a large and fine territory, one of the best in the city, which has hitherto, been kept back for want of communication. I Park and Portland avenues will be directly tributary to the line. Blooiuington and Cedar avenues are more distant and that territory has been settled, just as the Fourth avenue territory has, because of connection with the center of the city. It is now ex- pected, as a mere matter of course, that real estate men will put $100 or §200 to every lot in that neighborhood. The people who live on Eighth avenue below Franklin are quite jubilant over the line and owners of property feel richer. The extension is due principally to the efforts of Allen & Anderson, Mclntyre Bros., Dr. J. W. Bell, C. W. Foss, J. M. Wells and the Byres estate. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Held to the Grand Jury as the Re- sult of a Niffht's Lark. At an early hour yesterday morning an unsophisticated Scandinavian from Litch- field was walking down Washington avenue toward the Milwaukee depot when he was met by Thomas Devine. the pugilist, and a friend of the latter. They were out for a lark, it seems, and Devine feeling particu- larly gay saluted, it is charged, the green- horn from Litchfield, asking him how he was fixed financially. Devine wanted an- other drink and he wanted the boy to buy it. The Litehfielder refused, and Devine said, "How much money have you got?'' "Fifty-five cents," was the reply. "Let me see it," and the youth showed up. Devine helped himself and set the victim adrift. Devine and his companion were both pinched by the police and Devine was given a preliminary examination, when the above facts were adduced, the court holding him to the grand jury and failing to fix a bond. Devine" s young friend was not arraigned, it being apparent, and to the satisfaction of the court, that he was in no wise connected with the affair. ENGLEWOOD SPRINGS. Thf Committees Review and Slight- ly Change the Ordinance. The matter of laying pipes from Engle- wood springs to this city to.supply the West hotel and other patrons with pure spring water for drinking and domestic purposes is attracting wide attention. It has, up to the present time, been opposed by the ad- vocates of our water works system on the ground that the ordinance under which the enterprise is to be chartered is too broad and sweeping, and that it will materially interfere with the operations and service of the present system. Yesterday afternoon the committee on ordinances and on water works met to con- sider the matter. Capt. Snyder, an enthu- siastic advocate of the proposed ordinance, and who is interested in the scheme in a business way, appeared before the commit- tee and urged his claims argumentatively and concisely. He explained that the spring water will only be used for drinking and cooking purposes, and consequently its patrons will still be obliged to resort to the water works system for water for bath-tubs, laundries and closets. This put a different phase upon the question, and after several alterations had been made in the ordinance, tt was voted to recommend its passage at ihe next meeting of the council. POCR PASSER LE TEMPS. Attractions at the Theaters—Private Entertainments this "Week. Rhea closed her engagement at the Grand last night, playing to one of the best houses of her season here. "The American Countess" is a captivating play, and in it Khea appears to great advantage. The Minneapolis people did not turn out for her as they should. As an actress she is head and shoulders above many to whom our people have shown every attention, and for whom they have packed the Grand. Sweet, womanry, and a genuine artist, she should have been greeted by crowded houses every night. The next attraction at the Grand is the Lachmund concert, on Monday night, which gives promise of being something more than ordinarily good. The Lach- mr.nds' will be assisted by Miss Emma Lachmund of Burlington, la., and Miss Bertha Crouch of Cincinnati, the well- known elocutionist. Miss Grace Hawthorne, nee Cartland,and now Mrs. Murray, will return to the Grand this week with her new play, "Queena." It is said to be a good one, and there is con- siderable curiosity to see it. The Minneapolis public will have abun- dant opportunity to satisfy its ambition in the vaudevile line. The First Avenue the- ater has a new and attractive bill, and the Rentz-Santley combination will open at the Pence open house to-morrow. Col. R. G. Ingersoll will deliver one of his characteristic lectures at the Grand next Saturday night. "Which Way" is the title. Of course 1 c will have a houseful of people to hear him. Barry & Fay will follow Grace Haw- thorne at the Grand, with their latest com- edy. The Caledonian club has prepared an ex- cellent and attractive programme for its entertainment at Curtiss hall on Tuesday evening. The second Morse organ recital will occur at Westminster church next Wednes- day evening. The organist will be assisted by Miss Emma Patterson, soprano, Miss Jingle Gliddon, contralto, and Charles DeLacy,; basso. The (Jood Templars will give a musical entertainment at 224 Hennepin avenue next Tuesday .evening. There will be a few literary features. ~ At 7 the request of his musical friends, Prof. H. E. Zoeh will give a piano recital, a farewell for the season, at Curtiss hall on Friday night. , .IT STILL KEEPS UP. Realty and Building-- A Good Week -•The llerrick-Lowry Block.

Holway is to build at a cost of $20,- -000 a stone veneer block of apartment houses on Fourth street, near Twenty-sixth avenue north. E. X. Darrow will build on Harmon place, between Hennepin and Nicollet avenues, a handsome residence to cost $10,000. E. M.

Plans for the New Academy Block All Arranged. Since the beginning of the present year, the Messrs. Herrick Bros, and Thomas Lowry have devoted a vast amount of time and attention toward the matter of a block to be built on the site of the old Academy of Music, destroyed by fire on Christmas day, and until yesterday no one could ' gain an idea of what the building was to be. Yesterday Architect E. Townsend Mix of Milwaukee had completed his work in re- ,viewing the various proposals, making dif- ferent alterations in the plans, and figuring them all out and determining who were the lowest bidders. Out of fully twenty-five contractors, from all about the Northwest, who were competitors, F. A. Fisher & Co. of this city were successful. To them was awarded the contract , for constructing the proposed block, except the plumbing, the heating, elevators and minor finishings. Their work will amount to $150,000, while the ? block completed will cost over $200,- -000 or . .NEARLY A QUARTER OP A MILLION. . The elevation reveals the act " that the block will be a model office building. It wil stand eight stories in height with a high basement, and will contain 225 offices. The foundation willextend 113}£ feet on Hen- nepin avenue and .80 feet on Washington avenue, or the same dimensions of the old Academy of Music. The vast amount of glass to"be used in the : superstructure in- dicates - that . light was the first and almost paramount object of the architect. The front elevation discloses large, broad glass windows, while the brick work is a deal less in comparison than any other block in the city. The ottices willnot only be lighted from the front, but also from the rear. To effect this there will be an open court in the center, 82x65, extending from basement to roof, capped by a skylight. On each floor will extend a handsomely arranged corri- dor with a strong screen between that and the court. All the partitions are largely constructed of glass, either ground or stained. Mr. Mixmade a particular study of se- curing proper heating and excellent ventila- tion. The heating will be accomplished by steam apparatus, while the ventilating tubes are so arranged that the air in every room in the structure must be constantly changing. The block is high and in order to make the upper stories desirable as ottices, quick and easy access will be pro- vided. Two of the latest improved eleva- tors will be put in, giving the best possible service in this direction. ABSOLUTELY FIXE PKOOF. The Messrs. Henick Bros, and Thomas Lowry evidently do not care to get burned out again, for they have provided for a building more secure against fire than has ever before been attained in this state. No wood, except a few inside finishings, will be used. The basement will be of red granite, as will the foundations. The joists will be of cast iron and the arches of fire proof hollow tile. The pillars will afso be of iron, encased in matrices of terra cotta to prevent the effect of heat if the furni- ture should catch on fire, for the building cannot. All partitions will be of hollow tile and terra cotta. The stairs, elevator frames, etc., will all be constructed of the best iron. Hollow tile and . iron will be the material to be used in the roof. There will be two entrances the main entrance on Washington and a side entrance on Henne- pin. The vestibule into which the en- trances will enter, leading to the elevator shafts, will be .particularly superb. The wainscoting of the vestibule will be of marble, highly polished, while the staircase mountings will be of exquisite designs in brass. The entire structure will be DEVOTED TO OFFICES. The basemeut or ground floor, Mr. Her- rick thinks, will be entirely rented to lum- ber firms and insurance agents. The second story to banking houses and like business, while the others will be devoted to real es- tate and miscellaneous offices. Much of the space has already been en- gaged by energetic business men. Wilkesj McDermott says he will have completed his contract of clearing away the debris of the old buiiding by Tuesday noon next, when Fisher & Co will begin the work of constructing the new block. The struc- ture will be under roof Nov. 15, and will be fully completed April 1 of next year. Mr. E. W. Herrick states that the pro- jectors have not yet decided upon a nomen- clature for the new block, but that in no event will the name of either of the pro- prietors appear. KIEL'S UIt.CMS Is a Doubting Thomas on the Sub- ject of His Nephew's Capture. Frank Riel, residing on the East side, is an uncle of Louis Riel, the great rebel leader, whose capture was chronicled in the Globe yesterday. He is a stone cutter by trade and was found at work on the John- son residence by a Globe reporter yester- day afternoon. He had heard nothing of Riel's capture until told of it by a reader of the Globe at noon. He was greatly .surprised to hear this, but doubted it, say- ing that the papers bad previously reported him dead or captured once or twice and he could not believe it until he had further Word. He said the half-breeds had been treated unfairly by the Canadian govern- ment and that they were justified in fight- ing for no more than their rights. He was almost heart stricken on hearing the news but kept on at his work, waiting, he said, for a confirmation of the report. Mr. Riel came to Minneapolis from Montreal in 1856 and is much liked by his fellow workmen and all who know him. An Entertaining 1 Contest. A go-as-you-please race will be given at the Crocker Roller rink beginning on the 25th inst. and continuing during the week, making a six days' run. A number of celebrities will enter the contest, namely: Peter J. Panchot of Hastings, Minn., who won the championship of America and the O'Leary diamond belt in a six days' go- as-you-please race at the Madison Square gardens, New York, between Feb. 28 and March 5, 1SS1; also Frank McAvoy, cham- pion long-distance pedestrian of the New England states, and Tony H. Morton of Menomonie, Wis., champion short-distance runner. Besides these the following will enter: Thomas Roanne, Eau Claire; John A. Hughes, St. Paul; C. C. Sawer, St. Paul; J. Donnelley, Minneapolis; Gray of Minneapolis; Warner, St. Paul; Gus La- broux. Butte City; John Dow of Hastings and others. Petty Criminalities. Judge Bailey occupied the bench in the municipal court yesterday. Daisy Donald- son, the young variety actress who was ar- rested some time ago for masquerading in boy's attire, was up and her sentence was again postponed, this time until May 23. Five drunks got ten days, one got fifteen days, two had sentences suspended, and two paid a fine of So each. Four charged with vagrancy were discharged and five found guilty aud had sentence suspended. M. Ryan was found guilty of being pulled from a house of ill-fame. He paid a fine of §7.50. For disorderly conduct L. Johnson paid a fine of $7.50, and C. Ericksonput up $12. 50 for reckless driving on the streets: L. Ronce is charged with maintaining a nuisance. Trial set for May 19. Barrett Arrested Again. Henry Barrett's place of business is out- side the patrol limits, and that is the occa- sion of his immeasurable trials and tribu- lations. He has been arrested again upon the charge of selling spirituous and malt liquors without a license. The last time he was before the municipal court he was com- mitted to the county jail for sixty days and fined S5O. He paid his fine and served a part of his sentence. It is the freely ex- pressed opinion of those who assiune to know whereof they speak that the authori- ties propose to deal with the utmost sever- ity this time, imprisoning the defendant and holding him in durance until the end of the sentence. MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. A horse was killed in a street railway runaway accident on Sixth street last night. \u25a1 Officers Gregory and Leonard arrested a man who is supposed to be wanted in St. Paul. Al. Schafer's summer garden at Sixth street and Fifteenth avenue was formally opened yesterday. At the Pilgrim church to-day memorial services in respect to the memory of the late J. G.

At Spiritual hall fo-day the program will be as usual. Dr. Thomas will lecture on Good and Evil at 10:30, and Misa Came Tryon will lecture on a subject to be se- lected by the audience in the evening. A pair of boots and a coat were stolen from Martin Johnson yesterday. Sergt. Kirkhain afterwards arrested Duffy, the man who served sixty days for stealing a suit of clothes from the Bay state clothing store, on suspicion. For the benefit of two ladies who served as nurses in the late war the Ladies' Relief Corps of L. P.Plummer post,G. A. R.,will give a ten-cent entertainment on Wednes- day evening, May 20, in their hall at No. 11l Nicollet avenue. Two men who had a feud between them for some time had a fight in the saloon at No. 110 North Washington avenue last evening, in which one was hit over the head with a large stone and badly injured. The assailant was arrested. Plats were yesterday filed with the regis- ter of deeds of McGreevy's addition, con- taining 210 lots situated on the East side near the Duluth road, Oliver Park addi- tion, between Thirty-sixth and Forty-third streets, near lake Calhoun, containing 519 lots. Lawrence S. Donaldson and Isabelle Mc- Donald, Calvin Parker and Maggie McGov- ern, Mike Bach and Annie Eckert, A. R. Hawkins and Carrie Gelter, Henry Hchelb and Sophie Marath, Eugene A. Arnol and Annie S. Brown, yesterday obtained mar- riage licenses. Dr. Arthur O'Leary, the well-known lec- turer on physiology, is to speak on evolu- tion before the Liberal league this evening. It is expected that Charles McLean, LL. D., who recently challenged the doctor to a discussion on the creation, will avail him- self of the opportunity for debate upon the subject. J. L. O'Donnell's residence, 613 South Third street, was burglarized. The visitor caught up a pair of pants containing an amount of silver, but in going out through the window the money rolled out on the floor, waking Mr. O'Donnell anil frighten- ing the burglar until he dropped every- thing and escaped. The annual meeting of the Anoka con- ference of Congregational churches will be held at Excelsior, Lake Minnetouka, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The meeting opens at sp.m. on Tuesday. On Wednesday there is to be a missionary meeting, after which a special motor will be run to the city. The exer- cises close on Thursday with the laying of the corner stone of the Excelsior academy. Mr. H. F. Bagley, representing J. B. A. Kern & Son of Milwaukee, whose office is in the chamber of commerce, was relieved of a flue gold watch and his purse containing $16 on Thursday night. On retiring he neglected to lock the door, through which a burglar entered and ransacked the room. Mr. Bagley was awakened by the noise when the burglar ran out and escaped. Had he not awakened his loss might have been much greater. The Fourth Baptist church, to be dedi- cated this afternoon, with a sermon by Dr. Chase, is located at the corner of Eigh- teenth avenue north and Dupont avenue.

The Lacrosse Clvb Serious Accidents --Back. Pension- -Other Xotes. Claims Against the Car Company. Receiver Brown of the Northwestern* Manufacturing and Car company yesterday filed with the clerk of the district court the several claims presented against the Car company. The amount is apparently large, but when examined it is found to be only a small amount. Although the claims were placed in Receiver Brown's hands on the 13th, the last day of filing, it required a couple of days to make duplicates of the various claims, and they were not fried until yesterday morning, and the Globk is thereby enabled to pre- sent its readers with a correct list of the claims. It will be observed in the subjoined list that claims have been filed by J. C. O'Gorman, receiver for Seymour, Sabin"& Co., for 8500,000 stock and §505,000 of in- dorsements. These are only duplicates and have already been filed by the holders of the stock and notes. Of the claims by D. M. Sabin, $736,000 are in the same position. So are the claims of George M. Brush, re- ceiver of the Transfer company, J. H. Townshend & Co., and one or two others. There are thus duplicate claims amounting to over $1,766,980, leaving about 9155,000 to be proved. There will be a dispute, no doubt, about many of the claims composing the latter amount, which will reduce them. The following is a complete list of the claims filed. sabin's claims. Amount of notes indorsed by Sabin and sold for the benefit of the company $736,000 00 Salary as president of Car com- pany inndrsements 21,833 33 Commission selling $633,000 pre- ferred stock. 31,650 00 Credit to be given Sabiu for ex- change of stock of St. Paul water works to C. D. Giltillan for preferred Car company's stock. 14,610 00 Salary of F. B. Chirk, vice presi- dent, and bonus 15,000 00 Nine certificates of preferred stock 9,000 00 Loan to the Car company 36,800 00 Total $864,893 33 SEYMOUR, SABIN & CO.'S CLAIMS. Claim from J. C. O'Gorman as re- ceiver for Seymour, Sabin & Co., endorsed notes $505,000 00 Stock of Car company 500,000 00 Total §1,005,000 00 OTHER CLAIMS. S. R. Stinson,general manager, ex- tra $3,500 00 George M. Brush, receiver ofTrans- fercompany 8,962 00 J. C. O' Gorman, note 327 79 O.D.Baldwin, preferred stock guar- anteed '. 14,150 00 J. H. Townshend & Co., indorse- ments 16,689 07 J. A. Johnson & Co., loans 1,311 49 W. S. Goodhue, salary as assistant manager and secretary 3,056 66 Sarah B. Stinson, salary for hus- band, after receiver appointed.. 2,234 11 Thomas A Kurkland, draft given.. 2,000 00 Total filed yesterday $1,922,024 95 The publication of a portion of the claims in a morning paper yesterday, without any comments showing that the principal claims were duplicated, has been the cause of considerable comment, and was a de- cided injury to the parties filing the claims, as it made it appear that they were acting dishonestly towards the car company and the stockholders. The claims had to be made to help settle the affairs of the com- pany, but as to their being allowed any of the principal amounts, there is not the least likelihood. All the claims are now in and it is probable the judge will be asked for an order to allow the sale of the prop- erty at an early date, and it is probable it will be granted. Notcn) About Town. The receipts at the bridge came up well last week, amounting to 8139.35. Services will be held this evening in Ascension church by the llev. Henry Lang- lois. A false alarm of fire was sent in yester- day from the comer of Pine and Third streets. Water in the lake is standing at six feet one inch, but it is falling slowly at Taylor's Falls and points above. Yesterday William Muller turned out a nobby delivery wagon for Mathews & Co.

Yesterday the Marine Lumber company bought 4,000,000 feet of logs from Ander- son & O'Brien. They will be caught at the boom at Marine and sawed there. This is a good sale.

She is an actress who has few equals, and during the week she has won laurels in St. Paul and Minneapolis. The sale of seats is most satisfactory. The steamer Evansville of the Matt Clark Transportation company delivered her raft yesterday at Reed's Landing and takes a raft from Beef Slough to Muscatine. The Isaac Staples of the same line will arrive here to-day. Early yesterday morning John Goff, working for E. W. Durant, was kicked by a horse in the forehead. He went behind the horse and stooped down to pick up a stick which he thought was stuck in the horse's shoe. His skull was laid bare. At the municipal court yesterday morn- ing, before Judge Netheway, Edward Tonst was charged with cruelty to animals, having maltreated a neighbor's cow, for which he paid $7.24. The peddler who was arrested for selling goods agreed to take out a license, and was allowed to de- part. It was a son of Capt. John Hozey who was kicked by a horse on Friday eveninsr, and not of Patrick McAlpiue. The cut was a severe one, the temporal bone being broken. The little fellow was striking the horse with a switch, running behind him. Miss Mary Phillpot, who left last fall, will return this week and resume her painting classes, in which she had such success. She intends taking up her residence here, and will be a decided acquisition to the society of the city. Mr. Edward St. John has been appointed manager at the Marine mills by the com- pany which has purchased the property. A gang is at work at the boom getting in logs, while men are employed getting the mill in order as rapidly as possible for work. They expect to begin sawing in a couple of weeks, as the mill was put in fair order after it shut down last fall. The planing mill will also get ordered stuff ready for market. They expect to have lively times again in Marine in a short time. On Friday evening there was a meeting at the Sawyer house for the purpose of electing officers for the Stillwater Lacrosse club.

New York World . The doughty Gen. Middleton got his eye on the enemy last Saturday, fought a battle and reported a "splendid victory" for his forces. Considering that the general's losses footed up "one man killed," and that it is left in doubt whether he was accidentally killed or fell by the enemy's fire, it does not seem that the battle could have been a very sanguinary one. The hero of the present half-breed war in the Northwest ought to be sent immediately to the Soudan in place of Wolseley, the hero of the first half-breed war. Gen. Grant's Case. It is believed red clover extract will save Gen. Grant's life. Hundreds of beau- tiful girls are employed in picking the blos- soms in Michigan ivery year. J. M.

Philadelphia Call. Vi "Aihslie, I want to have a talk with you come and smoke,'" Haul Wilfrid "Denver,; a young, : fair-haired lieutenant of "' the 42d regiment of the Highland brigade." ' \u25a0 V; He yielded to his request. The pipes were lit, and soon they passed from lighter- topics to one of deeper interest, when Wil- frid told a story to his friend of a romantic first love, which had . made of his hard life in the Crimea a tender,- sweet idyl. "You have not told me her name," said Ainslie. : :" t "Itis Constance." ; \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0'." 'And your marriage— is - the day fixed?'? "No such luck!" ejaculated Wilfrid. "We should have to wait for some : years for my promotion. But," continued i he, with an embarrassed laugh, "it is rather premature to talk of a wedding when my fate is not yet decided. I think she loves me, '.though I never asked her the question until I came to the Crimea." . "Oh, you are not engaged?" ' ' : "No, I expect to get her letter to-mor- row—the letter which will , tell me all. Ainslie, if it comes too late, will you lay it unopened upon my breast and bury it with me?". The captain turned his dark eyes affec- tionately on his comrade's face as he re- sponded: "If it comes to that, yes; but, old fellow, don't be down in the mouth; hope for better things." / i : The battle was over. A victory was gained for England; but at what a', cost! With unavailing sorrow in his heart Paul "Ainslie gazed upon the scene, for his er- rand there was a sad one. "i He came to seek among the slain the body of his friend, who had fallen. He found the still form. He looked down on the face last seen so bright with life, and the tears gathered slowly in his dark ; eyes. He held an un- opened letter which had just reached the oamp. It was addressed to Lieut. Denver, in a woman's writing. , : Perchance it contained the words of love, which had been so eagerly desired yester- day. With a deep sigh, Paul laid the letter on the young officer's breast; and thus, with his beloved's words close . to the , pulseless heart, Wilfrid Denver was laid to rest in his rude grave. «•» ***** '.. Five years after the Crimean war is over Paul Ainslie mingles with the crowd at a fashionable ball in the height of \u25a0 the Lon- don season. Such gay assemblies are not much to his taste, but he is drawn to this gathering because the idol of his heart is among the guests. Constance Beaumont is singularly beautiful. Paul has been danc- ing with her. The delight of her presence overwhelms him. Bending until their eyes meet, he whispers: "Come with me." In the cool, dimly lighted conservatory, .with the splash of falling water J mingling with the dreamy strains of music, he asks her one low, earnest question: "Constance, will you be my own?" Her heart answers him. They are quite alone, and even as she sighs tremulously he has her in his arms close against his throbbing heart. " ; - She draws away from his touch with a shudder, exclaiming, wildly: "Paul! Paul! you must not love me! \u25a0 Seek not to unite your lifewith . mine, for the shadow of death is on my path." V Paul smiles superior to her fears. "My darling, ifyou love me I will never relin- quish you. Death comes to all lives, but it will not fall sooner on either of us be- cause those lives are one," he says. It-is Paul Ainslie's wedding day. ; The sunlight streams through the \u25a0 stained-glass windows, casting gorgeous tints on the church floor. The ceremony begins; the solemn words are spoken. Paul .-; stretches forth his hand to plight their troth, ; while Constance's slight fingers flutter into his palm. He is about 'to press them in a warm clasp, when an icy hand steals in be- tween and a shadowy form stands before the bride. : Her arm falls to\u25a0; her side. An awful pallor comes upon her face. , With lips apart, with eyes distended in horror, she confronts the phantom; then, with one long, wild cry: "Wilfrid! Wil- frid!" she falls like a stone into Paul's \u25a0arms. The bridal guests crowd round her: there is a hum of voices, a whispered murmur of sound; but Constance knows -nothing, sees nothing. White and still, with closed eye- lids like the dead, she remains, and thus he bears her from the church. ; ; In the same state she is borne from the \u25a0; carriage and laid upon her bed. .Her lover's heart seems breaking. He has tried all restoratives in vain. He throws himself upon his knees beside the couch, and clasping her inani- mate form to his throbbing heart in a par- oxysm of despair, he moans: "Oh, Con- stance, my beloved, come back to life and , me!" \u25a0 \u25a0 ./• . '; ;7 : .:;,;, As if in answer to his prayer, she moves, her dark eyes opening upon him* with a wild gaze of fear; then there comes a pas- sionate burst of weeping, which shakes her from head to foot. 5 Rising from the couch, . she totters to- ward him, stretching out her arms. "Take me, Paul, my love, for the last, last time," she cries, in a voice quivering with pain. He draws her to his heart; he holds . her there as though nothing again shall sever them, and thus she tells him the ' story of her life. Scarcely has she spoken ere Paul knows their doom is sealed. That phantom form is before him, that icy grasp seems to freeze his blood with a nameless horror. She has loved WilfridDenver. The letter he had laid on the young officer's cold breast con- tained her acceptance of his offered . hand. When the news of his death | reached her she had resolved to live unwedded - for his sake, but after years had passed Paul's de- voted love won her heart, and, in spite of a warning presentiment, she accepted him. "Constance!" cries Paul, "do you seri- ously mean that this phantom is to sever us?" She interrupts him. "Dearest, look ' here." Taking from her , desk a folded paper, she puts it into his hand. It is Wil- frid Denver's last letter. On the first page are traced these words: <- . , ; "It may be that ere Ireceive your an- swer—the answer which will bring joy or desolation— shall be lying dead upon the battlefield. Yet, should that be my fate, I believe that even in death I shall know if you return my love. And, my darling, I fear that should another claim your troth in after years I shall rise even from my grave to stand between you." . ' "You see," Constance says, sadly," "Wil- fridkeeps his word. I pledged myself to him; he claims that troth in death. Paul, say farewell. I shall never be your wife. I am promised to the dead." . She speaks the words with a mournful solemnity, her lips quivering, her eyes filled with tears. Paul strives wildly to change this decis- ion, but in vain. He finds it impossible to dissuade her from the fixed idea that she is doomed never to marry. At last they part despairing love in both their part, to see each other's face no more. i^^^MHE ONLY TRUE 'PcT^S "Will l""-HytlieBI.OOIJ, reen- WSSk era late IaVJEB and *tI»KETf»j wr*__3a ami RESTOKK THE HEALTH TMHSfigi £nd VIGOR of YOUTH.

I>DIG>A>T IItISHJtIENWill Hold a Meeting To->isrlit to

Denounce a Tribune Editorial.

Quite a number of well-known Irish citi-zens of Minneapolis were seen in consulta-tion yesterday, evidently very indignantand exercised over something. Inquiry ledto the following statement:

••We are indignant, you are right. Didyou see the editorial in this morning'sTribune? Well, we can stand one or twoof those vile attacks, but when they becomepersistent we're going to show the propri-etors of the paper we have the power to re-sent it. We had 10.000 of these circularsprinted, and on Sunday they willbe dis-tributed broadcast over Minneapolis."

The circular alluded to is bright green incolor, with the following printed on it inlarge type:

IRISHMEN. ATTEXTIOX.The Tribune of this c ity yesterday used

the following language: "Education isIreland's only salvation. The oppressor ofthe Irish people as a whole is no iron-heeledtyrant, but ignorance. Let the sun of edu-cation send its rays through the cloud ofbarbarian ignorance which hangs over Ire-land, for one generation only, and the re-sult willbe astonishing. Ignorance is theweight which keeps Ireland down, and thismust be removed before she can take herplace as a responsible country on the sameplane with her contemporaries/

Irishmen, how do you like this slander?What are you going to do about it? Meetthis evening at Windom hall, comer Wash-ington and Second avenues south, at 8o'clock, and show by your presence thatyou resent such gratuitous insults from theMinneapolis Tribune, a newspaper which isa curious combination of Boston "culchaw"and Kansas City vulgarity, and which hasrancorously assailed the character of theIrish people since the new managementtook charge of it. Show this poisonousraTtlesnake that he cannot attack Irishmenwith impunity. God save Ireland.

"Many promineut Irish-Americans willaddress the meeting/ continued thespeaker, "and will handle the Tribunewithout gloves. The promoters of thismovement against the Tribune are de-termined that every Irish family in the citywill be made acquainted with its attacksupon the Irish people, and then they cansupport it if they please."

THE PARK COnniSSIOJIERS.

The Boulevard Around Lake Har-riet to be Laid this Year.

A well attended meeting of the board ofpark commissioners was held yesterday af-ternoon. The declination of Col. W. S.King of appointment as a member of theboard was received and laid on the table.A communication was reryl from the OakLake Improvement association calling at-tention to the park in that section of thecity, and the necessity of fillingin a portiouof the shore of Oak lake. The society-stated in view of the improvements madealready by private citizens that it felt justi-fied in asking the commissioners to appro-priate 8500 tobe expended in dredging Oaklake and constructing a boulevard. Whilethe feeling of the board was evinently inthe direction of helping the association, itwas doubted whether it was in its power toappropriate money for this use.. The mat-ter was finally referred to the attorney,Judge Fish.

A letter was read from the Sisters ofMercy hospital, asking the commissionersto buy their hospital property and fixingthe price at $25,000 without the building or$30,000 with the building. The matter waslaid on the table.

THK LAKE HAHBXBT BOULEVARD.GJudge Fish reported that he looked upthe titles to the lands abutting Lake Har-riet, and found them incumbered. Allofthe land but six lots is owned by H. B.Beard and L. F. Menage. The mortgageegave assmance that the strip of land125 feet wide about the lake would be con-veyed to the cityupon condition that the*driveway around the lake can be put in rea-sonable condition thisyear. In the absenceof any estimate as to the cost of laying thedriveway, the board by a vote indicated thatwhatever was found necessary would bedone to put the boulevard in reasonablecondition during the present year, as re-quired by Mr. Menage.

STKEETS CONDEMNED.Upon motion of Commissioner Brackett

the followingstreets, between and separat-ing Riverside park, were condemned:

Sixth street, between Twenty-seventhand Twenty-eighth avenues south; Seventhstreet, between Twenty-seventh andTwenty-ninth avenues south; Twenty-eighth avenue, between Eighth and Sixth

streets south. That portion of Grant streetbetween and separating Spring Grove parkfrom Fifteenth street southwest to the westline extended north of block 1, E. K.Place's addition, was also condemned.

President Loring reported that consider-able injury is being done to the turf at{Spring Grove park, by allowing the publicto run over the soft ground, and recom-mended that it should be fenced in. Thematter was iinallyreferred to the committeeon improvements to post notices and pro-cure the aid of the police to prevent per-sons from driving and walking on thesward.

The request of the chief of the fire de-partment, asking for permission to placetelegraph poles on Hennepin boulevard, wasrefused. •

Upon the motion of Commissioner Suth-erland, the name of Spring Grove park waschanged back to Central park. The namingof the east side park was deferred.

FIN FOR SPECTATORS.A Crook WretUliiiffWith a Saw Lus

iv the River.There is no member of the police force

i who experiences more exciting incidents: than does Sergt Kirkham. Yesterday he

was notified of a case of robbery, and ati once went to Schiller's saloon to investi-gate.

Jerry Smith is a bucolic young man whojust came in from the country, lie hail asilver watch which he had traded for witha country cousin, and wanted to sell it. Agang not slow to appreciate his greennesssurrounded him and asked to see the watch.The ticker was passed from hand to handuntil it reached a brace of crooks standingnear the door. They coolly put it in theirpocket and leisurely walked awiu~. Theywere pointed out to Kirkham as they werewalking down First avenue north, and theofficerarrested them. Soon one took to hisheels and ran toward the river. The officersent two leaden messengers after his re-treating figure without effect. A citizenwas called into requisition and the other manturned over to him, when Kirkham tookafter the fugitive, chasing him out upon thelogs in the boom, and several shots werehere tired to induce the fellow to return toshore. One bullet struck the water ciose bythe man and startled him so he fell into theriver. He wrestled with the log for a halfhour when three policemen went out andtook him in.

NOW ITWILL, OPEN.A Car Line Extension to Operate a

Local Land Boom.Arrangements have at last been com-

pleted and work willbegin at once to ex-

! tend the Chicago avenue street car line

I from Franklin avenue to Lake street. The| new track will be just a mile in length andwillbe in operation by the middle of June.For two years the interested residents andproperty holders have been working for thisextension, but not until now have they

! been successful. The arrangement withI Mr. Lowry is that a bonus of $3,508 shall

be paid him to reimburse him for the esti-mated loss in two years, during which timethe line willnot pay. The .extension willopen up a large and fine territory, one ofthe best in the city, which has hitherto,been kept back for want of communication.

I Park and Portland avenues will be directlytributary to the line. Blooiuington andCedar avenues are more distant and thatterritory has been settled, just as the Fourthavenue territory has, because of connectionwith the center of the city. Itis now ex-pected, as a mere matter of course, thatreal estate men will put $100 or §200 toevery lot in that neighborhood.

The people who live on Eighth avenuebelow Franklin are quite jubilant over theline and owners of property feel richer.The extension is due principally to theefforts of Allen & Anderson, MclntyreBros., Dr. J. W. Bell, C. W. Foss, J. M.Wells and the Byres estate.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Held to the Grand Jury as the Re-sult of a Niffht's Lark.

At an early hour yesterday morning anunsophisticated Scandinavian from Litch-field was walking down Washington avenuetoward the Milwaukee depot when he wasmet by Thomas Devine. the pugilist, and afriend of the latter. They were out for alark, it seems, and Devine feeling particu-larly gay saluted, it is charged, the green-horn from Litchfield, asking him how hewas fixed financially. Devine wanted an-other drink and he wanted the boy to buyit. The Litehfielder refused, and Devinesaid, "How much money have you got?''"Fifty-fivecents," was the reply. "Let mesee it," and the youth showed up. Devinehelped himself and set the victim adrift.Devine and his companion were bothpinched by the police and Devine was givena preliminary examination, when the abovefacts were adduced, the court holding himto the grand jury and failing to fixa bond.Devine" s young friend was not arraigned, itbeing apparent, and to the satisfaction ofthe court, that he was in no wise connectedwith the affair.

ENGLEWOOD SPRINGS.Thf Committees Review and Slight-

ly Change the Ordinance.

The matter of laying pipes from Engle-wood springs to this city to.supply the Westhotel and other patrons with pure springwater for drinking and domestic purposesis attracting wide attention. It has, up tothe present time, been opposed by the ad-vocates of our water works system on theground that the ordinance under which theenterprise is to be chartered is too broadand sweeping, and that it will materiallyinterfere with the operations and service ofthe present system.

Yesterday afternoon the committee onordinances and on water works met to con-sider the matter. Capt. Snyder, an enthu-siastic advocate of the proposed ordinance,and who is interested in the scheme in abusiness way, appeared before the commit-tee and urged his claims argumentativelyand concisely. He explained that thespring water will only be used for drinkingand cooking purposes, and consequently itspatrons will still be obliged to resort to thewater works system forwater for bath-tubs,laundries and closets. This put a differentphase upon the question, and after severalalterations had been made in the ordinance,tt was voted to recommend its passage atihe next meeting of the council.

Plans for the New Academy BlockAll Arranged.

Since the beginning of the present year,the Messrs. Herrick Bros, and ThomasLowry have devoted a vast amount of timeand attention toward the matter of a blocktobe built on the site of the old Academyof Music, destroyed by fire on Christmasday, and until yesterday no one could ' gainan idea of what the building was to be.Yesterday Architect E. Townsend Mix ofMilwaukee had completed his work in re-

,viewing the various proposals, making dif-ferent alterations in the plans, and figuringthem all out and determining who were thelowest bidders. Out of fully twenty-fivecontractors, from all about the Northwest,who were competitors, F. A. Fisher & Co.of this city were successful. To them wasawarded the contract , for constructing theproposed block, except the plumbing, theheating, elevators and minor finishings.Their work will amount to $150,000, whilethe ? block completed will cost over $200,--000 or .

.NEARLY A QUARTER OP A MILLION.. The elevation reveals the act " that the

block will be a model office building. Itwil stand eight stories in height with a highbasement, and will contain 225 offices. Thefoundation willextend 113}£ feet on Hen-nepin avenue and .80 feet on Washingtonavenue, or the same dimensions of the oldAcademy of Music. The vast amount ofglass to"be used in the : superstructure in-dicates - that . light was the first and almost

paramount object of the architect. Thefront elevation discloses large, broad glasswindows, while the brick work is a dealless in comparison than any other block inthe city. The ottices willnot only be lightedfrom the front, but also from the rear. Toeffect this there willbe an open court in thecenter, 82x65, extending from basement toroof, capped by a skylight. On each floorwill extend a handsomely arranged corri-dor with a strong screen between that andthe court. All the partitions are largelyconstructed of glass, either ground orstained.

Mr. Mixmade a particular study of se-curing proper heating and excellent ventila-tion. The heating will be accomplishedby steam apparatus, while the ventilatingtubes are so arranged that the air in everyroom in the structure must be constantlychanging. The block is high and in orderto make the upper stories desirable asottices, quick and easy access will be pro-vided. Two of the latest improved eleva-tors willbe put in, giving the best possibleservice in this direction.

ABSOLUTELY FIXE PKOOF.The Messrs. Henick Bros, and Thomas

Lowry evidently do not care to get burnedout again, for they have provided for abuilding more secure against fire than hasever before been attained in this state. Nowood, except a few inside finishings, willbe used. The basement will be of redgranite, as will the foundations. The joistswill be of cast iron and the arches of fireproof hollow tile. The pillars will afso beof iron, encased in matrices of terra cottato prevent the effect of heat if the furni-ture should catch on fire, for the buildingcannot. All partitions willbe of hollowtile and terra cotta. The stairs, elevatorframes, etc., will all be constructedof the best iron. Hollow tileand . iron will be thematerial to be used in the roof. There willbe two entrances —the main entrance onWashington and a side entrance on Henne-pin. The vestibule into which the en-trances will enter, leading to the elevatorshafts, will be .particularly superb. Thewainscoting of the vestibule will be ofmarble, highly polished, while the staircasemountings will be of exquisite designs inbrass.

The entire structure willbeDEVOTED TO OFFICES.

The basemeut or ground floor, Mr. Her-rick thinks, will be entirely rented to lum-ber firms and insurance agents. The secondstory to banking houses and like business,while the others willbe devoted to real es-tate and miscellaneous offices. Muchof the space has already been en-gaged by energetic business men.Wilkesj McDermott says he will havecompleted his contract of clearing away thedebris of the old buiiding by Tuesday noonnext, when Fisher & Co willbegin the workof constructing the new block. The struc-ture will be under roof Nov. 15, and willbe fully completed April 1 ofnext year.

Mr. E. W. Herrick states that the pro-jectors have not yet decided upon a nomen-clature for the new block, but that inno event will the name of either of the pro-prietors appear.

He said the half-breeds had beentreated unfairly by the Canadian govern-ment and that they were justified in fight-ing for no more than their rights. He wasalmost heart stricken on hearing the newsbut kept on at his work, waiting, he said,for a confirmation of the report.

Claims Against the Car Company.

Receiver Brown of the Northwestern*Manufacturing and Car company yesterdayfiled with the clerk of the district court theseveral claims presented against the Carcompany. The amount is apparently large,but when examined it is found to be only asmall amount. Although the claims wereplaced in Receiver Brown's hands on the13th, the last day of filing, it required acouple of days to make duplicates ofthe various claims, and theywere not fried until yesterday morning,and the Globk is thereby enabled to pre-sent its readers with a correct list of theclaims. Itwillbe observed in the subjoinedlist that claims have been filed by J. C.O'Gorman, receiver for Seymour, Sabin"&Co., for 8500,000 stock and §505,000 of in-dorsements. These are only duplicates andhave already been filed by the holders of thestock and notes. Of the claims by D. M.Sabin, $736,000 are in the same position.So are the claims ofGeorge M. Brush, re-ceiver of the Transfer company, J. H.Townshend & Co., and one or two others.There are thus duplicate claims amountingto over $1,766,980, leaving about 9155,000to be proved. There willbe a dispute, nodoubt, about many of the claims composingthe latter amount, which will reduce them.The following is a complete list of the claimsfiled.

Total filed yesterday $1,922,024 95The publication of a portion of the claims

in a morning paper yesterday, without anycomments showing that the principalclaims were duplicated, has been the causeof considerable comment, and was a de-cided injury to the parties filing the claims,as it made it appear that they were actingdishonestly towards the car company andthe stockholders. The claims had to bemade to help settle the affairs of the com-pany, but as to their being allowed any ofthe principal amounts, there is not theleast likelihood. All the claims are now inand it is probable the judge will be askedfor an order to allow the sale of the prop-

erty at an early date, and it is probable itwillbe granted.

Considering that the general's losses footedup "one man killed," and that it is left indoubt whether he was accidentally killed orfell by the enemy's fire, it does not seem thatthe battle could have been a very sanguinaryone.

\u25a0•;\u25a0\u25a0 THE DEATH-TROT H.Philadelphia Call.Vi "Aihslie, I want to have a talk with you—come and smoke,'" Haul Wilfrid "Denver,;a young, : fair-haired lieutenant of"' the 42dregiment ofthe Highland brigade." '

\u25a0

V ; He yielded to his •request. The pipeswere lit, and soon they passed from lighter-topics to one of deeper interest, when Wil-frid told a story to his friend of a romanticfirst love, which had . made of his hard lifein the Crimea a tender,- sweet idyl.

"You have not told me her name," saidAinslie. :

:"t "Itis Constance." ; \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0'."'And your marriage— is -the day fixed?'?"No such luck!" ejaculated Wilfrid. "We

should have to wait for some : years for mypromotion. But," continued ihe, with anembarrassed laugh, "it is rather prematureto talk of a wedding when my fate is notyet decided. Ithink she loves me, '.thoughInever asked her the question until Icameto the Crimea." .

"Oh, you are not engaged?" ' '

: "No, I expect to get her letter to-mor-row—the letter which will , tell me all.Ainslie, ifit comes too late, will you lay itunopened upon my breast and bury it withme?".

The captain turned his dark eyes affec-tionately on his comrade's face as he re-sponded:

"Ifit comes to that, yes; but, old fellow,don't be down in the mouth; hope for betterthings." / i

: The battle was over. A victory wasgained for England; but at what a', cost!With unavailing sorrow in his heart Paul

"Ainslie gazed upon the scene, for his er-rand there was a sad one. "iHe came toseek among the slain the body of his friend,who had fallen. He found the still form.He looked down on the face last seen sobright with life, and the tears gatheredslowly in his dark ; eyes. He held an un-opened letter which had just reached theoamp. It was addressed to Lieut. Denver,in a woman's writing. ,

: Perchance it contained the words oflove,which had been so eagerly desired yester-day. With a deep sigh, Paul laid the letteron the young officer's breast; and thus, withhis beloved's words close . to the , pulselessheart, Wilfrid Denver was laid to rest inhis rude grave. «•»*****

'.. Five years after the Crimean war is overPaul Ainslie mingles with the crowd at afashionable ball in the height of \u25a0 the Lon-don season. Such gay assemblies are notmuch to his taste, but he is drawn to thisgathering because the idol of his heart isamong the guests. Constance Beaumont issingularly beautiful. Paul has been • danc-ing with her. The delight of her presenceoverwhelms him. Bending until their eyesmeet, he whispers: "Come with me."

In the cool, dimly lighted conservatory,.with the splash of falling water J minglingwith the dreamy strains of music, he asksher one low, earnest question: "Constance,will you be my own?" Her heart answershim. They are quite alone, and even asshe sighs tremulously he has her in his armsclose against his throbbing heart. " ; -

She draws away from his touch with ashudder, exclaiming, wildly: "Paul! Paul!you must not love me! \u25a0 Seek not to uniteyour lifewith . mine, for the shadow ofdeath is on my path." V

Paul smiles superior to her fears. "Mydarling, ifyou love me I will never relin-quish you. Death comes to all lives, butit willnot fall sooner on either of us be-cause those lives are one," he says.

It-is Paul Ainslie's wedding day. ; Thesunlight streams through the \u25a0stained-glasswindows, casting gorgeous tints on thechurch floor. The ceremony begins; thesolemn words are spoken. Paul .-; stretchesforth his hand toplight their troth, ; whileConstance's slight fingers flutter into hispalm. He is about 'to press them in awarm clasp, when an icy hand steals in be-tween and a shadowy form stands beforethe bride. : Her arm falls to\u25a0; her side. Anawfulpallor comes upon her face., With lips apart, with eyes distended inhorror, she confronts the phantom; then,with one long, wild cry: "Wilfrid!Wil-frid!"she falls like a stone into Paul's

\u25a0arms.The bridal guests crowd round her: there

is a hum of voices, a whispered murmur ofsound; but Constance knows -nothing, seesnothing. White and still, with closed eye-lids like the dead, she remains, and thus hebears her from the church. ;

; In the samestate she is borne from the \u25a0; carriage andlaid upon her bed. .Her lover's heart seemsbreaking. He has tried all restoratives invain. He throws himself upon his kneesbeside the couch, and clasping her inani-mate form to his throbbing heart in a par-oxysm of despair, he moans: "Oh, Con-stance, my beloved, come back to lifeand ,me!" \u25a0

\u25a0 ./• . '; ;7 :.:;,;,As if in answer to his prayer, she moves,

her dark eyes opening upon him* with awild gaze of fear; then there comes a pas-sionate burst of weeping, which shakes herfrom head to foot.5 Rising from the couch, . she totters to-ward him, stretching out her arms. "Takeme, Paul, my love, for the last, last time,"she cries, in a voice quivering with pain.He draws her to his heart; he holds . herthere as though nothing again shall severthem, and thus she tells him the ' story ofher life.

Scarcely has she spoken ere Paul knowstheir doom is sealed. That phantom formis before him, that icy grasp seems tofreezehis blood with a nameless horror. She hasloved WilfridDenver. The letter he hadlaid on the young officer's cold breast con-tained her acceptance of his offered . hand.When the news of his death | reached hershe had resolved to live unwedded - for hissake, but after years had passed Paul's de-voted love won her heart, and, in spite of awarning presentiment, she accepted him.

"Constance!" cries Paul, "do you seri-ously mean that this phantom is to severus?"

She interrupts him. "Dearest, look' here." Taking from her , desk a foldedpaper, she puts it into his hand. Itis Wil-frid Denver's last letter. On the first pageare traced these words: <- . ,;

"Itmay be that ere Ireceive your an-swer—the answer which willbring joy ordesolation— shall be lying dead upon thebattlefield. Yet, should that be my fate, Ibelieve that even in death Ishall know ifyou return my love. And, my darling, Ifear that should another claim your troth inafter years Ishall rise even from my graveto stand between you." . '

"You see," Constance says, sadly," "Wil-fridkeeps his word. I pledged myself tohim; he claims that troth in death. Paul,say farewell. I shall never be your wife.Iam promised to the dead."

. She speaks the words with a mournfulsolemnity, her lips quivering, her eyes filledwith tears.

Paul strives wildly to change this decis-ion, but in vain. He finds itimpossible todissuade her from the fixed idea that she isdoomed never to marry.

At last they part —despairing love inboththeir —part, to see each other's faceno more.
