8 * MOTHERS' MEETINGS. A Largo Attendance at the One Held at the Bethel Yesterday. pnvi *he Lives of Poor and Lonely Mothers Are Brightened. Worthy Women's Work In a Worthy Cause That Should Be Aided. Hid-Wlnter Society Events and Personals of Those in the Swim. One of the most deserving charities In the city is that carried on by the women's auxiliary board of the Bethel association, and called the mother's meetings. These meetings are held at the Bethel boat every Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. '1 here "are about sixty women, mothers of families, who gather there to get the only glimpse their hard lives allow them of social intercourse with their fellow women. These meet ings have been going on for over a year, and the changes in the appearance oi these mothers those few months have brought about are wonderful. Only women know how dull and monotonous a woman's life can be, shut up in the house, be it ever so comfortable, and these mothers come from homes that ate usually anything but comfortable. So this little peep at another mode ol life must make a bright spot in their dull existence. There the room is warm and clean. kindly voices make them wel come as they enter the door. They stand about the stove and chat with each other, or the gracious Christian women who are for the afternoon their hostesses until the hour arrives for the opening exercises. These consist of singing to the piano accompaniment of someone of the gospel h\ inns, then a short prayer. A short talk on some sub ject intimately connected with . A mother's Work follows. Yesterday it was a talk on the can-' of the sick by a woman physi cian, who illustrated her talk by means ot a doll and a little bed. Every point about the bed was explained, then the doll was washed just as the doctor would have washed a patient, ihe manner of giving food or nourishment to a very sick patient was illustrated. An oppor tunity lor questions was given at the close" of the talk, or if ony one chose "ii Id examine the bed ami the doll's cLthes. ..... r the lecture, sewing wasbrousilt out. and each of the sixty women lucre provided with work to do. Each one has a garment to make, and when it is finished, can have it if she pays five cents. Those who do not know how to sew are taught, and encouraged in every way. Then comes a substantial lunch with good, hot tea and conversation, of course. It. is a beautiful sight to see these mothers poor and unlearned, but tidy and polite, crowd around these kind sister women who have a word of ad vice 01 kindly question for every one. Another hymn and the repetition of the Lord's prayer close:; the meeting. Who can tell to what length ot good the in fluence of these meetings may bo! These garments and the material for them are all contributed, m> if any woman or nmn feels like adding a mite to this good work, small contributions will be thankfully received by Mrs. L'tak at the Bethel boat.

And so it comes out that the writer of the clever social skits it Harper's Bazar, "Mrs. Wouter Van Twiiler's at Homes." is Miss Lillie Hamilton French, of the \Vorld staff. Mrs. Adett, a German woman, who spent fourteen weeks among the poor est class of factory hands, has pub lished a book on their condition, which reveals such an abyss of misery and im nioralily that the government is to cre ate a commission to inquire into the al leged abuses.

There are few diseases In which nurs ing is or' more importance than in con gestion of the lungs. The sufferer should be kept in a warm, well ven tilated room at a temperature of 70 deg. The window should be open from the top; a strip of flannel can be tacked across the opening to prevent draughts. Pure air is indispensable. The lungs cannot take in as much as usual, therefore the quality of that sup plied to them must be above suspicion of impurity. When poultices are or dered they should be made of flaxseed meal stirred into boiling water until it is a smooth, soft paste, rather softer than oatmeal porridge.

That, if clace kid gloves are slightly warmed before being put on in cold weather, they will be found much more elastic, as the heat tends to soften the oil in the leather. That it is better to pay a good cleaner a few cents for freshening glovc3 than to do it one's self and endure the odor that clings around the home-cleansed glove. That gloves should always be mended before they are cleansed, as the repairs will show less thau it they are made after the cleansing. That it is a bad plan to remove gloves by pulling at the ends of the fingers, as it will necessarily stretch them, partic ularly when they are moist, as they often ar when coming oil a warm, hand. That gloves should be dried thor oughly after they are taken off, and laid away smoothly, thus keeping their freshness as long as possible. That turpentine will drive away ants and roaches if sprinkled about shelves and closets. That If new shoes pinch in some par ticular spot, a cloth wet with hot water and laid across the place will cause im mediate and lasting relief. That a lump of fresh charcoal placed in 9. clothes press will often prevent the THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 14, 1803. unpleasant smell which clothes have when they have lone been put away: That cloth and woolen dresses should betaken out of wardrobes frequently, .while the wardrobes are being cleared from dust, and exposed to the fresh air. — That clothes brushes should be kept clean by. washing them occasionally in cold water. _^ •,.'• -■■_■■ _:._,. ....

It meets on Fifty-eighth street, near Third avenue. It costs them 5 cents to use a bad word. I should think the charges would vary according to the strength of the exclamation. Baron Rothschild has just given 1,000.000 francs to the board of public charities in Paris. This is to be divided among poor women iv the lymph hospital ot that city. *■>.■■* "Genius is death to love," say some philosophers. And then they quote a long string of names of people who found (or made) matrimony a failure. In the meantime Signor Mascagni, composer of that wonderful "Cavallena Kusticana," puts his children to bed every night himself. At the first pro- I duction ot his last opera Mascagni was called before the curtain thirty times, yet he never, on account of his Vgenius," neglects the happiness ot his wife and sons, of whom he has three. There is a great deal too much down-, right selfishness in people which gets called genius, 1 believe. A Simple, Delicious Dessert. An inexpensive and easily prepared dessert is always appreciated by house keepers, who get tired in ringing the changes on the every-day pudding. Take a loaf ol stale sponge cake and cut out the center, leaving about half an inch on the sides and bottom; spread this with a thin layer of raspberry or strawberry jam, or line it in summer with the fresh fruit. Beat the while ot one egg, to which has been added one cup of powdered sugar, one tart apple (grated), or two apples if they are small, and a teaspoon ful of lemon juice. This mixture should be beaten until it is stiff enough to stay on the dish when it is turned. You will find that it has doubled in amount with the beating. Fill the cake with this mixture, turn it into a plate, the crust of the cake uppermost, and put the re mainder of the apple and egg over it in the form of icings. If you wish to vary this dessert, you may make two large cakes, and use the beaten eggs as a tilling and frosting. Either way it is nice, and is also a hand some dessert. What the Names Slean. There are so many odd names given to colors nowadays that it is well to know just what they mean. These are the names as they come on French color cards with their meaning: Angelique, a pule apple green; beige, really a beige drab ; castor, a dark beige; Cas tillo, a bright buff yellow; coquelicot, a bright red, like that of the poppy; diavolo, a bright cinnamon; emeraude, a bright emerald green; floxine, a bril liant liirht crimson; geramime, a pale geranium red; mascolte, a medium muss green; paradis, a bird of paradise yel low; pivoine, a deep metallic scarlet; vareche, a deep moss green.

As yet there have been no changes in the prevailing fashions for millinery. The little airy nothings called theater bonnets still continue in favor, and are made as a rule to match in tone the cos tumes with which they are worn. How ever, it is not considered at all an outre to wear bonnets of the brightest pos sible colors with dresses of plain dark shades. Bright-huud bonnets give the enVct in an assemblage of a flower gar den, and are much more attractive than the dull, somber shades so long iv vogue. Just I, ilk-- a Woman.

ABE RALE'S BONE PARTY. [By Lieut. W. A. Curtis.] All was still in the Gascoigne Military academy. The evening call to quarters had sounded, and the cadets were in their rooms, presumably studying; at all events, they were quiet, and for this the officer in charge was profundly grateful. It had been a day of turbulence. Al though it was the weekly holiday, so many cadets had been confined to the school limits for bad conduct and bad lessons that the officer in choree and his cadet assistants, consisting of the officer of the day, colloquially called "O. 1).," the sergeant and the corporal of the guard, found their hands more than full in preserving order. Every walk was occupied by a culprit. "walking beat" for punishment, and the four cells of the guaid house were occupied by four prisoners in solitary confinement. Every hour of the day the little cor poral of the guard, who was on his first tour of duty. Had been frantically rush ing about the grounds in response to calls, "Corporal of the guard, No, 8, No. 4," and many other numbers, only to be assured by ""No. 8," "No. 4" and the other numerals that they had not called him, and had heard no one cull him. ISvery hour of the day the officer of the day had complained that his author ity had failed to command respect. He had discovered tue m mates of the guardlouse with contraband tobacco in their possession; this had been conveyed to them in some mysterious way through the bars of the small window se\en feet from the floor. At length he had to report that one prisoner, instead of silting in darkness and gnashing his teeth, had managed to climb up to the windows and was cheerfully surveying the scenery with out. •'Major, major," said the officer of the day despairingly to the commandant, ',what are you going to do with that boy Dobbs? He has climbed up to tiie win dow and is lookin 1 out, a-swearm' and a-cussin" and liavin' a great time." In silent majesty and wrath the com mandant visited the guard house with a Kiin stick. When military punishments failed at the Gascoigue academy the rod was re sorted to. I will not harrow your feelings with an account of how the "great time" of the gaysome William Henry Dobbs was abruptly turned into an occasion of agony and sorrow. "It was at the close of such a day as this that young Instructor Campbell sat alone in his room. Each member of the faculty served in turn as officer in charge, having super vision of all school routine durinir his tour of duty. A cadet officer of the day, two non-commissioned officers of the guard and a number of useless sentinels were supposed to assist ttie officer in charge in the preservation of order. The officers and non-commissioned officers could sometimes be relied upon; but the sentinels discharged their duties with more satisfaction to the cadets than to the faculty. Excepting Campbell, all the members of the faculty had gone to the perform ance of a theatrical troupe playing a week's engagement in the village. "You must be ready to rush out ot the building at any moment, Campbell, for those boys are liable to tip it over to night," had been the parting Injunction of the teachers. Campbell needed no warning to make him anticipate a disturbance. The end of tl.e school year was an proaching, and the school grew more disorderly every day. A rigid and im partial disciplinarian, he was disliked by the unruly element, particularly by those cadets who, by currying favor with officers and teachers, otteu es caped reports and punishments. ile knew that tonight would be an excellent opportunity for the cadets to '•serve him out." He was the only teacher in the build ing. At every moment he expected to hear the crash of a volley of rocks, or the opening note of a grand symphony of yells, screams, roars and groans; yet time slipped by and all was still. The "tougli third floor" of the acad emy building was inhabited by a num ber of youths whose interest in rolling up demerits was in inverse ratio to their industry in studies. They were of that class found in every military school — boys who, not being able to get along at home, are sent to a military school to be reformed. All the evening through forms had been Hitting silently about the passage way from room to room on that floor, until at length nearly all of the boys had gathered in Abe Hale's room, the bit: room under the tower. ••Jonesy," the little corporal sitting in the passage on guard, ventured a feeblo remonstrance to this violation of para graph W. But upon being assured by several stalwart privates that they "would beat his head in" if he reported them, he ceased to interfere. "1 tell you what it is, boys," said Abe Hale to "the assemblage in his room, "that man Campbell must be made to understand that the fellers don't want him here. 1 wrote him a letter signed 'Snooks' two days ago tellin' him the boys wished he would clear out. "Now I propose that tonight we give him a 'rock party'— a good one— none of your lizzies like we had last term. "We can stand out on the tire escape of the left wing and throw rocks through his window slick. We want to have somebody turn off the electric light head at the power house, and then we'll give Campbell a hint of how we feel." "1 don't like to throw rocks. It's dan gerous," said a tall Creole, Freuchy Le Maitre. "Let's throw wood." "Where you coin' to get any wood? There isn't a wood pile about yere," said Abe Hale. "1 can tell you what to throw," piped up little Blackburn, the smallest boy in the crowd. "Throw bones. They will make a noise and won't hurt anything," "Bones? Where are you goin' to get bones? Skinny Bycrs is the only bones about yere. Uoin' to throw him?" asked Bob Dawson. "No, sir. Me and Jim Boshrod were out walkin' over yonder, on the flats, where the river rose this spring, and we came on a place where the water had washed out a spot where old Judge Gascoigne used to bury the horses that died on his stock farm. Leastways, I reckon that's what it was, tor there were IqJs of Oones there. It's just down below the old mill. We can get bushels of 'cm yere in no time at all." The bone proposition took the fancy of the gathering. There certainly was less danger of injuring any one in throwing bones, and they would make just as much noise and break just as glass as recks. Guided by Blackburn, the band stole out of the building and took its way to the long-deserted stock farm on the river Hats. The night was not dark, and there was no difficulty in finding the Ideation or the bones. "I reckon these were Normandy horse?," said La Maitre. "These are mitihty big bones." "Before we go back, fellers, we want to decide exactly what we're goin' to do," said Abe Hale. "Benson, Rotters and Dawson better stand at the head of the main staircase on the third floor* and Smith and Thompson at the back stairs, all five ready to throw down onto the second floor. Le Maitro and I will stand on tne fire escape ready to heave our bones through the window. Byers. you sneak down to the power house and turn off the electric lisht. When the light goes out we'll all begin to pelt." "What are Dalton, Harris und me goin' to do?" asked Blackburn. "You're goin' to run home and go to bed before we start. We don't want you three little fellers along. Slide now." And the three small boys did start, but they did not go beyond a clump of bushes near by, and when the others had passed they emerged and returned to the place of bones. "My gracious," suddenly said Black burn to his companions, "what's this?'' The little fellow was digging and Dry in;: at a huge white object which was partly covered by driftwood and sand, and by dint of much pulltng he present ly extricated a great skull. "What kind of a horse had a skull like that? It's big enough to be an ele phant's skull, : ' said Dalton. "1 tell you what," exclaimed Harris, "we'll carry that skull along and stay down on the first floor With it, and when the bones are thrown we'll watch to see if Campbell runs out, and if he does we'll cut in and lay this skull on his bed. and when he sees it he will be scared to death." Nine o'clock and no sound had dis turbed the peace that reigned in the barracks. Instructor Campbell sat in his rooms, three letters lying on the table before him. He had read them many times before this: now he was pondering upon their contents. One was from the superintendent oi the academy, telling him that his salary of SHOO a year would be reduced to $750 for the next school session. Another was from the president of tlie university where he had graduated the year be fore, offering him a fellowship in geol ogy, with a salary of $400 a year. The third was a miserably worded epistle, inform ing him that the boys didn't like him. and he would "get his hide tore off'" if he dared to stay at the academy another year. Glad enough would he have been to accept the university fellowship in ge ology. His life at the academy was de cidedly unpleasant. It seemed to him as if all the incorrigible boys in the Southwest were enrolled in that mili tary school. lie was certain that the fellowship would lead to an instructorship. and the instructorship to a professorship. But he had promised to assist his old father on a mortgage which would fall due the next year, and the salary ot $400 would not enable him to do this. If he only had a sum of money to tide him over one year at the university, he would ttie next year be earning a larger salary and one sufficient for his need:;. Two or three hundred dollars would open to him the life of great possibil ities; but he could not get it, and he felt himself condemned to the same old drudgery at the academy. All at once the light went out over his head, and a storm of missiles smashed through the window. He heard the crash of ether missiles in the pas sageway without. He stepped out of range of the win dow and waited. He knew that to rush into the passage would be to run the risk of being struck, and also utterly useless as far as any hope of catching the miscreants was concerned. The throwing could not last beyond two or three volleys. After that his duty would be to in spect the rooms of suspicious characters iv search of unexpended ammunition. When the throwing ceased he opened his door and started out, forgetting the hail was dark. He returned to light a lamp, and was feeling for a match, when he heard tip-toeing steps creak along the hall T pause before his doorway, then enter. He quickly struck a match, and ths light fell on the startled faces of Harris, Ihiltoii and Blackburn, just as they had dropped on iiis bed some strange white object. Approaching the bed. the teacher started in surprise. "Well," said he, "what in the name of glory is this? If I'm not a digger Indian, it's the skull of a mastodon. Boys, where did you get this? Hello, here is some more of him," and Campbell picked up some of the bones that had been thrown through the window. The story of the horse burial place was related, and Campbell learned that bones, not rocks, had been the missiles burled about the barracks. "I'll make a proposition to you fel lows," he said pleasantly, after a mo ment's thought. "If you will go around the barracks and pick up all the bones and bring them in here, and then go with me and show me where you found them, so tnat I can get the rest, I'll promise not to report you." The three young imps gladly accepted the offer, and iv twenty minutes In structor Campbell had in his room a con siderable part of the skeleton of a mastodon. "We'll co aftor the other bones in the morning," he said, kindly. "You may go now, boys." The wouderitg lads filed out, and the instructor came very near executing a war dance as the door closed on their heels. "That skeleton is worth a thousand dollars if it is worth a cent, anri I'll ac cept the fellowship in geology." So, though Abe Hale's bone party did bring about Instructor Campbell's de parture from the Gascoigne Military academy, it was not precisely In tlie fashion Abe Hale had intended. WHO'S IT.

Tho Rcnv at Forest Lake — Other The row at Forest Lake Wednesday evening was a serious one, and chances are that Andrew Erickson, who was shot by Peter Ecfcstrom, will lo*e his life. Eckstron: appeared in the munici pal court yesterday and was charged with attempting to shoot Aaron John son, this complaint having been made for the purpose of holding him until the outcome of Erickson's wound is known. Erickson talked freely in the court room and said that three of his neighbors and himself had been drinking in Smith's s:t!oon. Later they went to the home of Aaron Johnson, where they emptied two small bottles of whisky. Eckstrom made a remark which the other members of the party resented, and they ordered him out of the house. He picked up his hat to go, when they followed him out on ttie road and began abusing him with sticks of wood. lie commanded them to halt, but they refused to do so, and pulling his revolver he Bred one shot iv the air. Erickson was bolder than the others, and he ran and grasped Eck slrom by the throat, at the same time tripping him. At this turn of affairs Eckstrom again pulled his revolver, and sent a bullet into Erickson's abdomen. The next day Eekstrom walked into the constable's place of business and gave himself up to justice. His story is ac cepted as true by many who have known him for years, and sympathy is largely on his side. Eckstroui's face is badly bat ered up, and he received one blow" on the left side of his head which pains him greatly. His cabe was con tinued until next Tuesday to allow him to consult an attorney. Judge Williston filed an order yester day directing that George E. feters, the murderer of V. C. Steward, be taken to tlie second hospital for Xhe insane at Kochesitr. Tlie order directs the su perintendent and trustees of the hospi tal to keep him safely until such time as he regains his mental faculties, if ever, and then return him to the sheriff of this county so that he can be brought back here for trial on a charge of mur der in the tirst degree. Sheriff Marty has not decided wiien he will take Peters to Rochester, but it will be done either today or early next week. This practically ends the matter for the pres ent, and if Peters' mental faculties are not restored h« will spend the remain der of his life in Rochester, and will never be required to answer to the charge of murder. Marshal llokinson. Marine Mills, was in the city yesterday searching for two young men who are suspected of passing a forged check lor 820 on a mer chant in that village. The check was drawn on a bank in Oshkosh, Wis., ana was left at the Lumbermen's National bank in this city for collection. Mar shal Hoskinson does not know pos itively thitL the check is a forgery, but thinks it is, because the two ben who passed it acted suspiciously. Charles Rudolf, who was arrested at Hudson.
