Marie Bobbins 1 dancing acad emy, lor a session of four days. j Thirteen is said to be an unlucky num- i ber, but those who made the selection of St. Paul for the thirteenth annual as : their place of meeting, and the academy of Mrs. Kobbins for their headquarters, evidently knew as much about arrang- \ ing for conventions as they do about the art to which they are devoted. No | city in the union is more beautiful than St. Paul at this season of the I year, and no member of the association knows how to entertain any bettor than Mrs. Kobbins. Tuesday morning will be given up to handshaking and getting acquainted while the convention proper will not begin until afternoon. The order of business will be: Reports of president, secretary, treasurer and district super visors; applications for membership and appointments of committees to serve during the meetings of the asso ciation. Wednesday and Thursday new dances will be presented and practiced, and if found meritorious will be adopted by the association. Applicants who have passed the required examinations will be admitted to membership on Thurs day, also the nomination of officers for the ensuing year. Friday, election of officers, closing up of untimshed business, issuing of diplo mas, and h'nal adjournment will be ihe order. Saturday the visitors will indulge in social enjoyment. Excursions to White Bear Lake, Minnetouka. Minne liaha. Fort Snelling and other points of interest have been arranged.

Wood worth Master, of Boston, who held the office of president for ten years'. .It was first organized as a local body for tlie purpose of establishing uniform ity ili instruction and prices. Applica tions from teachers outside of the city forced them to include New England, and finally they made the association national. The membership now reaches up in the hundreds, with representatives iv every state in the Union and Canada. The best" teaeners iv Europe are. hon orary members, and what started in a humble way In the city of Boston has become the leading organization of ita kind in the world. Mrs. Uobbins has been a member of the association for the past eiirtit years, and has made it a point to attend every convention, which enables tier to pre sent to her pupils new dances of merit as soon as adopted and published. Musical Mention. A business transaction of the first im portance has just been closed, whereby \V. J. Dyer & Bro.. of St. Paul, ana the Mi'hlin Piano Company, of Minneapolis, have combined tor the more extensive and vigorous handling of the product of this well known factory. Messrs. Dyer & Bro. become the sole factors for these instruments, having the entire charge of the interests of the n.anufactory throughout its vast Western territory. It may not be known that the Mehlin Piano is manufactured and controlled in .New York for all of tne country east of the Mississippi, and is identical with the Mehlin Piano manufactured in Min neapolis, which is controlled for the en tire country west of the Mississippi. This combination, therefore, makes St. Paul ami Minneapolis the headquarters for the largest part of the United States for a Piano which already has a national fame. It is a step forward for the Twin Cities, and this alliance between the strong concerns named above is one more step in the direction of the ulti mate union of St. Paul and Minneapolis in the not distant future. - Seven Corners Club Outing.

Gives Amusing Desoriptton of an Encampment in Georgia — Sketch of Little Henry Jj. Drug (tciimn, the Youngest Military Enthusiast— Good Rifle Shot- National Guard Notes. Maj. Price, of the First regiment of state guards, has returned from At lanta, Ga.. where he has been located for four months past. Just before tak ing his departure for home he atten ded the encampment of the Georgia militia at Griffin, where there were eighteen companies in camp, as follows: '. > One regiment, twelve companies, Mekln; one battalion, four companies, Savannah.and two separate companies. He says they are not nearly as far advanced as the Minnesota guard, as this is only their third camp. The turn out is ■■ not so large, the companies only averaging twenty to twenty-four of ficers and men. Their dress uniform is like the Minnesota fatig ue, and their 4«/>vlo oC^ (&L>lA£ I,Gj^niCUUM~l ,Gj^niCUUM~ Mascot of the First Regiment i fatigue uniform, if it can be called one, ! consists of a blue flannel shirt, blue ; denim trousers and a slouch hat. The non-commissioned officers have their chevrons sewed on their coats, but the commissioned ollicers have no mark of dis tinction from the privates, except in two cases, where a captain and lieuten ant, more lucky than their brothers, had "Oars" embroidered on their shirts, un doubtedly the work of some fair ad mirer. Kaj. Price says he was never more surprised in his lite than wheu he saw the entire encampment turn out for company drills, in anything and everything — some with straw hats, some with felt hats, civilians' coals, some in shirt sleeves and some bare headed, just as the buirle call happened tf; catch them. They are not nearly as proficient as they initclit be, but they all seem to enjoy it with all the open heartedness of the Southerner. The Savannah battalion is an ancient organization, and were shooting tor medals that had been in the battalion for years, many of them bearing date of 1834. The Georgia camp ground does not compare with Lake City, and range practice is in its infancy, but they are taking considerable interest in it this year, and there were a number of good scores made.

Henry has ajso attained some notoriety as a marks man, making a score of 36 out of a possi ble 50 at the 200-yard range. In shoot ing he uses a Flobert rifle, the regula tion Springfield being to heavy for him. NATIONAL. GUARD NOTES. ' The dissatisfaction that existed in Company 11, of the Second regiment, stationed at Duluth, has been satisfac torily arranged. Some of -the mem bers were back in their dues and tines, and when they were paid for their ser vices in the late Mesaba mine trouble, the company - treasurer held : back the. amount of each member's delinquency, aud thereby raised considerable hard feeling for the time being. An evening paper in this city took the stand that a company that could not exist without dues or fines ought to go to pieces. Gen. Bend, when asked his opin ion, said he did not - know of a company in the state that did not have a system of dues or fines, and most of them had both, and he didn't think that they could exist if It were not so. for the state in reality furnishes very little towards the support of the militia, and until it got mure liberal he thoVght dues were the proper thing to meet the .company expenses. . . : ' Company H left the Armory at 8 o'clock lust night for their . practice march at Hastings. There were about forty officers and men in line. v They marched as far as lnver Grove last night and there struck camp until 7:30 tills morning, when the march was again taken up, and they will reach Hastings about 4:30 this afternoon. The" company was in heavy inarching order and carried fifty rounds of blank car triages. They will give especial attention to advance guard aud skirmish drills while en route. . Capt. Moutford. the commander of this enterprising com pany, has announced that they will go into camp on the rifle range next Tues day. ' A wail tent has been secured that will accommodate about twenty men. The camp will last for two weeks, and the captain expects to have all par ticipants qualified as sharpshooters in that time. Members of the state militia who are given to talking back to superior offi cers should take note of the following: Richard Kramer, a musician in Com pany H, Sixteenth United States infan try, recently informed a sergeant: '. "I can lick you and the captain and tl.e whole shooting match," and then sa d to his captain: "I would like to have two rounds with you before 1 go." His pugilistic propensities are now cooling, and will probably be below zero at tl.e. end of six months at hard labor in a military prison, with a "bobtail" dis charge staring him in the face. r ". ., x Company E occupied the parquet at the Metropolitan last night. The boys were much pleased with the play. -The march of the Black Hussars completely captured them, and large bouquets of roses were showered upon the partici pants. ' ! " - There have been no company drills': this week, owing to the C. O.

Brewer, of the United States supreme court, yesterday granted a writ of habeas corpus and certiorari in the case of John Sloan, the half-breed Indian who was convicted in the United Stales circuit court of choking his wife to death at White Earth. The hearing on the habeas corpus and certiorari is 1 set for 9 o'clock Monday morning before Judge Brewer, in the federal building. E. S. Thompson, the counsel for Sloan, alleges in his petition for habeas corpus that Sloan could not be tried for murder in the United States court under the in dictment: found. The crime was com mitted in Norman county, and thus the state court would have jurisdiction in the case. :It Is also asserted that Slotin . is a natural-born citizen of the United " States, aud a resident of Minnesota! By the finding of the court he is not in Indian, and the wife he killed was not i an Indian, but was also a residentof this state. A claim is made that the '' law under which Sloan was tried is un constitutional. Errors on the trial are also alleged. Sloan is still in the Rams ay county jail, where he has been for nearly a year. ■ -'_;•> i Men's ?6 and $7 Tan, Wine and Sdal j Shoes in the latest styles.

SMITH IS BE ELECriil). • President Wlllricb, of tho School ' Board. Makes a Strong Fight l for the Retention of German in the Grade Schools, but Stands Alone — Leaves of Abjenue Granted Teaohera. Jlio board of school inspectors met at Its office in the high school building yesterday afternoon. Present, Inspect ors McUill, McNair. Dickson, Dawson, Abbott, President Willrich. Absent. Inspector Vanish. The committee upon German. luspectors Dicksou. McUill and Abbott, submitted the following report: St. Paul, June 9.— Your committee 'on German, to whom was referred the question of advisability of retainiuK the teaching of German as at present con ducted in the public schools of this city, respectfully report as follows: That German under the high school grade as at present taught in our public schools is inefficient ami undesirable., and does not justify the expenditure- of the large amount of money necessary to be expended in that behalf. That If continued as a study below the high school it should be on a new and more efficient basis. Jt is the opinion of this committee, and we so report, that this board would nut be justified in a larger expenditure of money for the teaching, of German for the ensuing year than has been ex pended for that purpose during the pa-t year, and that unless some plan can b evolved by the superintendent of schools for proper and efficient instruc tion of this branch for the sum of money now used for that purpose it better be abolished from all grades below the huh school. Inspector McNair moved the adoption of the report, Inspector Dickson second ed the motion. President Willrich asked that action be postponed until the next meeting in order that the superin tendent might have time to prepare a report, such as suggested by the com mittee. This not being agreed to, he called Vice President McGill to the chair and spoke to the question, making an interesting and able plea for the retention of German beginning with the fifth grade, believing that to be essen tial to tlie maintenance of a progressive school system and course ot study. At the close of Mr. Willrich's remarks the vote was taken and the report adopted: Ayes— jVbbott. Dawson, Dickson, Mc- Nair. Nays-Wiilrich. Nod Vo hi* — rfcGUL Inspector McNair moved to abolish in strue.lbi'i in German in all grades below t m high school.

The inspectors made no remarks. aud the vote stood: Ayes— Abbott, Dawson, Dickson, We- N«r. • Nays— Willrich. ■ ■ Not Voting— McGill. « The committee upon high and manual training school recommended the re election of Prof. A. J. Smith principal. Adopted unanimously. The committee upon schools recom mended leave of absence without pay of high school teachers: M. J. Peach, pne year, . from Sept. I. 1894; M. (J. Stevens and M. G. Newson, half year, itroin Sept. 1. 1!>94, suitable substitutes to be employed. Mrs. M. W. Stickney, • Mrs. G. F. De Camp, were approved as ..teachers in their present positions for 'the ensuing; year. Special teachers to rbe employed instead of supervisors ot drawing, music, natural science, physi cal training aud penmanship, whose duty it shall be to give instruction in The high school, to teachers in the train ing schools and to teachers individually and in classes; to visit schools when time remains, as directed by A the super intendent ot sellouts. Two supervisors were recommended, one for primary grades and kindergartens, one for inter mediate grammar grades. Principals in ten-room buildings to be responsible for half a grade; eleven to fourteen rooms, principals to teach two hours daily. In all other buildings principals to hear at least one recitation daily. The report was unanimously adopted. Twelve sets of plans and specifica tions Were submitted from archi tects for the two new school buildings ; for the Second and Eighth wards. Upon motion the plans- were referred to the special committee. Inspectors Abbott and Dickson, aud Superintend ent Gilbert, report to-be made at the next meeting. The board then adjourned to meet Weduesday evening next. TUB CHINKS 10 OF SAM FRAN CISCO. Their Theaters and Social Cus toms — An Aristocratic Chinese Lady. Although between Chinatown and the . city proper there is a great tulf fixed, said gulf is a social one only, and it seems but a stone's throw from the aristocratic hotel to the abode of the heathen Chinee who is so cordially de tested on the Pacific slope. The Chi nese theater is as peculiar as the indi vidual who derives pleasure from at tending it. The spacious corridor aud vestibule are succeed by a labyrinth of passages and muscle-trying steps, after which on:' finds himself in a peculiar building whose atage defies criticism, because it is unlike anything the tlic ater-zoer is used to. Were it not for the intolerable noise of the alleged musicians, the theater would be a convenient place to sleep in, because the plays are generally about six hours long, and occasionally last an entire week. To the European visitor the orchestra Is probably the most in teresting feature, because he finds it difficult to exactly understand the ideas 'which flit through the minds of the al leged musicians as they extract from unknown instruments sounds calcu lated to arouse the dead. There is no leader to the orchestra, and a general impression is created that every mem ber is trying to outdo his neighbor in enthusiasm and discord. The audience never does any applauding, in the or dinary sense of the term, the result, doubtless, of a very sensible recognition of the fact that to compete with the or chestra in the matter of noise would be to invite, if not demand, certain fail . ure. ! In most American cities there are to be found, if not exactly Chinese quar ters, at least a sprinkling of almond eyed interlopers who, in returu for "Mehcau" money, are prepared to put an abnormal gloss on the collars and cuffs of the inhabitants. Seldom, how eyer.is a Chinese lady seen in an inland city, and when perchance one of them arrives from the Celestial empire in spite of the vigilance of government officials, the occasion Is made the ex cuse for a general fete and jollification, and she is kept aloof from the vulgar gaze. Hence it is that comparatively few Americans have any appreciation of the charms of the Chinatown belle, and it is just possible that those who have "done" Chinatown ap preciate these beauties and charms still less than those who have not. Ideas of beauty differ, but the consensus of opinion is that the really good-look ing Chinese lady is as rare as a white frost in June. The belle makes up in her costume what she lacks in personal attractions, and Solomon in all bis glory was certainly no', arrayed like one of these. The hard-working Chinese women, and there are many of them in Chinatown, are blessed with feet of average sise, and can walk about witb- I IMPORTANT. ANNOUNCEMENT! # ". '.

An Organization Which Scored a Ureat Success. The Standard hall on Tuesday even-» ing last was the scene of a remarkable success iv amateur minstrelsy, which was given after two months of hard work under the able management of Meyer Harzberg. / 1 %) MEYER IIARZBERG. Ed S. Hoyt, a nephew of Jack Hav erly, who had charge of the rehearsals and stage management, is entitled to much credit for the success of the en tertaiuinent. The entertainment began with the song of the "Bogie Man" by the entire company. In the midst of this the cur tain arose, revealing the stage beauti ully decorated, a sprinkling of potted plants being noticeable, aud thirty-two black faces ready to supply the enter tainment. Following the "Bogie Man" came the chorus of the "Knights of the Mystic Star," which was sung to a pretty march arranged tor the occasion by Mr. Hoyt. The continuation of the programme was as follows, nearly every performer being compelled to respond to au en core: "Shine On" -End men and company. "Maple on the Hill"— Ed Smith. "Court House in the Skies' '— Sig Greve. "Come to Me"— Gus Zenzius. "She Never Said a Word"— Harry Morgenstcrn. "Standing on the Corner"— Manny Adler. "Anchored"— D. Van Vleck. "My Dream" (original)— Meyer Harz berg. "Bedouin's Lovo Song" — Charles Hatch. The first part concluded with "Our Trip to Minneapolis," which was im mensely entertaining.* In the second part, "A Few Moments With Manny Adler" proved the hit of the evening. A musical trio composed of G. A. Rob inson, A. J. Robinson and A. L. Snyder greatly pleased the audience, and the "Listen" to Harry Morgenstern" was a takiug number, TJie entertainment concluded with the afterpiece, "Walk ing fo' de Cake," in which the follow ing members of the company partici pated: S.
