RIGHTS AT PLAY. Their FAMILIES AXD FRIEXDS picnic AT WHITE BEAR LAKE, AND HAVE A ROYAL TIME. fHEY PLAY AX ALLEGED GAME OF BALL. AXD HAVE PLEN TY OF OTHER FIX. WHOLE DAY IS GIVEN TO IT. Knig-hts Are Present From St. Paul, Minneapolis, Stillwa ter and Elsewhere. Several thousand people from St. Paul, Minneapolis and Stillwater participated in the Knights of Pyth ias union picnic at White Bear lake yesterday. The attendance was not as large as had been expected, owing,, no doubt, to" the number of other attractions, particularly the cops' base ball game and Hibernians' pic nic. A splendid programme of sports was presented, including a base ball game that would have done credit to Manager Comiskey's aggregation. The day was pleasantly spent, those who did not care to witness the sports, indulge in a r-r-r-r-s-s-s-s down the toboggan slide or to throw eggs at a "colo'ed pusson" at the rate of three for 10c, having an opportunity to pass the time dancing. There was only two contestants in the bicycle race from here to White Bear. This was on account of the rain the night before making the road so heavy that but few of tho cyclers cared to put forth the exer tion required to plow through the mud. But Charles Maralius and P. McArthur were not to be balked by a little mud, and at the hour set Cor starting, both reported for duty at the East St. Paul station. A large crowd had gathered to see them off. Doc Whitcomb, who was starter, and a friend who went out to take care of his remains in case — However, Doc got them away with a good start and plenty of mud, and they still had the mud when they reached Ramaley's pavilion at Lake Shore forty-five minutes later,- Mara lius in the lead. The run has been made in thirty-five minutes, so it is evident that the road was in bad condition. But the gem of the day was the base ball game between nine knights from the St. Paul and nine from the Minneapolis lodges. Laconically, the story is told as follows: Game, two innings; score, St. Paul 22, Min neapolis 5; errors, St. Paul 15, Min neapolis 102; time of game, 2:09 1 / _. For the benefit of the future his torian, the story is extended so as to include the names of the men who composed the teams. They are as Follows: St. Claytor, Frem ming, Jim Brandt, R. Malone, Jack Sheridan, J. J. Holly, Dr. Whit comb, A. G. Johnson and A. F. Hunt. Minneapolis— MeMahon, Stahl, .Wil son, Grindall, Hayes, Fournie, Mur phy, Fleichinger and Waskuwich. It may be added that while the game was in progress every man in each team played every position, and it was the unanimous verdict of the rooters that he was just as good in one as in the other. The game would have lasted longer and the score have been larger had there been a different umpire, but just think a man from Stillwater filled that honorable position. There were some lively athletic contests. The following is the result of the athletic contests: Till-: WINNERS. Quarter-Mile Walk— First. J. J.

Attorney General Childs delivered yesterday morning to Gov. Clough the following opinion defining the state law relating to the business of storage companies: I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of the 12th inst., en closing the letter of a certain corpora tion, in which it is asked, in substance, whether companies operating under the provisions of General Laws, 1895 (No. 50, Pop. Ed.), are authorized to do business under the provisions of General Laws is:-:,, chapter 202. The legislation upon the subject of Storage companies has become some- R-hat involved by reason of the passage Df the said act of l.'-95. It is evident that the legislature intended to pre serve the law of 1885, as it is not only expressly referred to in the later law above cited, but was also amended at the same session in which that law R-as passed. (G. L. ISSS, No. 173.) The legislature must be deemed to have narrowed the scope of the appli cation of the law of ISSS to the ex tent that it now applies only to rail roads or transportation companies holding goods in cars, freight houses or warehouses for a period not exceed ing twenty days. All other transporta tion or storage companies, except those receiving grain in bulk, fall within the contemplation of the law of 1895 While this seems the most rational view to take of the law, it does not perfectly harmonize all of the various provisions. It is expressly provided that when a transportation company transfers goods to a storage company and col lects therefrom its proper charges, the latter shall have a lien upon the goods enforceable under sections 1, 2, 3 and 4, of the law of 1885. To that extent at least, the earlier law still applies to Rueh companies. It. is to be observed that it is expressly provided in section 9. of the law of 1895, that "it shall unlawful for any person, persons •mE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 18, 1895.—SIXTEEN PAGES. or corporation, not duly licensed, as herein provided, to conduct or carry on the business of a storage company, or warehouseman in this state." All storage- companies-must therefore be brought under its provisions, and it follows that the only .bond required will be the one therein provided,. viz.: A bond of $5,000. Furthermore, reply ing to a suggestion of S the inquiring company, the law recognises no such classification as general and special warehousemen. A person or corpora tion engaged in storing one or more classes of merchandise for the public for hire, is a storage company within the meaning of the -act of 1593. Me also gave County Auditor Nye," of Hennepin county, the following opin ion as to the intent of the legislature in those portions of the state game law that refer to "birds" and "dogs." It appears that the law has, by amend ment, been rendered very obscure: You' call attention to section 13 of the game and fish law, and inquire what animals are therein contem plated.^ ::-■■ - By the terms of the section, the hunting of the animals mentioned in section l) are prohibited: Section . 9, however, has reference only to birds, "and. it is therefore evident that the prohibition has by legislative ovty-sight been is] laced. This its- manifestly so when reference is had to the pre-ex isting law. Section 9 of the law of IS9I prohibited hunting "with hounds or dogs any elk, moose, deer, ante lope, buck, doe or fawn at any time." But that section was radically amend ed in 1893 (chap. 121, sec. 7), so as to eliminate all reference to the animals originally named therein. Section 13 of the law of 1891 did not in terms re fer to section '.-. but when the act was revised In 1893 the first-named section was so amended as to read as at pres ent. Generally, if not always, tha terms "animals" and- "birds" are con tradistinguished in the statute. As il lustrative of this see sections 8, 15, 23, 21, 25 and 27. Section 11 of the present game law is the section which refers to the animals mentioned in section' 9 of- the act of 1891. If, therefore, the prohibition against hunting with dogs is still in force, it must, In my opinion, be deemed to apply, to section 11, rather than to section 9. The question is, however, of such a nature as to render it impossible to determine with the ut most confidence what construction will meet with the approval of the courts. LIBERATES BAND. A Grand Musical Feature With Ring-ling; Bros,' Mis - Circus. High-class music has always been an important feature of Ringling Bros.' World's Greatest Shows. Those who have attended the exhibitions of this great amusement enterprise in the past have always accorded to it the leading place among ail others in this re spect. In studying the popular taste Ringling Bros, have always been quick to appreciate the effect of melody upon great audiences, and they have never failed to meet public expectation "in this regard. This season they con ceived the idea of combining with their vast exhibition, a musical feature so grand, so greatly above anything of the kind ever before attempted,- as to mark a distinct era in the annals of amusement. To do this it was neces sary to secure the greatest band master and the greatest' band in the world. They have succeeded, and now, for the first time, the famous Liberati band is offered to the public as a gratuitous feature in connection with an already stupendous amusement in stitution. This superb musical organi zation embraces sixty well known musicians, every one of whom is a capable soloist. It is under the per- • sonal direction of the greatest of all band-masters and virtuosos, Sig. A. Liberati. This famous director is a native of Italy, and won many of his signal triumphs in that land of art and: poesy, In recent years he has estab lished a reputation in the great cities of the United States such as.no other maestro has ever succeeded in doing. Under his magic baton almost every great soloist now in this country, and many in Europe, have been proud to appear. No musical festival in Ameri ca during the past decade has been complete without the great Liberati. His remarkable power in blending to gether large numbers of musicians in a homogeneous organization, and his rare good judgment in selecting, a class of music most pleasing to his au diences, have made him and his superb band the leading attraction at every important exposition in recent years. The interest in the Liberati band is en hanced by the addition of many es pecially engaged instrumental soloists, who will appear in connection with the big musical organization. It is hard ly necessary to say that the associa tion of Liberati's band with Ringling Bros.' circus, menagerie and hippo drome involves an enormous expense; but, notwithstanding this fact, there is no extra charge for the musical festival. It is also interesting to note that it does not in any sense conflict with or abridge the regular perform ance. The grand band concert begins one hour before the commencement of the show; and is a separate and dis tinct entertainment, tendered by. the mar.ae-ement to all who visit the great exhibition at the show grounds, cor ner of St. Albans street and University avenue. This location is of easy ac cess from all sections of the city. One week from next Tuesday, the date of the circus in this city, tickets will be placed on sale at the music store of W. J. Dyer & Bro., 21 West Fifth street, and those desiring to avoid the crowd can purchase them here at the same prices as at the ticket wagon and not be subject to the extortionate ad vance charged by other shows of this character. • ■ ..■**. -: CROWDS GOIXG to COM&. Rope Walking Exhibitions Selied ultMl for Today. There was a large crowd at Lake Como yesterday afternoon to witness marvelous performances on a wire rope by Prof. Dugay. The perform ance, however, did not come off, owing to a failure to adjust a rope. The professor is the man who recently made the sensational walk across a rope stretched above the falls at Spokane, which was witnessed by 30.000 people. Prof. Dugay will give per formances Monday and Tuesday. Among other things he will do will be the placing of a minature cook stove at the center of the wire and there cook and eat a meal prepared by him self. The wire rope a one-sixteenth wire, by the way— will be stretched across one end of the lake, and the concluding performance will lie the wheeling of a barrow over it. Today —afternoon and evening— there will be a rope performance given by lions Casido. Casldo comes to the city with a world-wide reputation as a rope walker. It would seem as if there was nothing he could not accomplish on it,' and at the close of a number of phenomenal exhibitions he is under, contract to turn a somersault. This is something thrilling, and has been described as "an unequaled feat." Danz's band will give two concerts today, and this will conclude their en gagement at the probably for the season. Other first-class bands are ex pected before the season is closed. Superintendent Smith, of the street railway company, has announced all the accommodations necessary for the large crowds that are usually drawn to Como Sunday. In view of the special attractions provided for the day, a larger attendance than usual is indicated. . The Knights Templar Conclave will be held at Boston, Mass., during next August, and it will be of interest to Sir Knights and their friends to note that arrangements have already been suc cessfully accomplished by the Nickel Plate Road, providing for the sale of excursion tickets over direct lines go ing and returning or by circuitous routes, viz., going one line and re turning by another. By so doing many of the following notable resorts may be visited without additional expense: Chautauqua Lake, Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands, Rapids of the St. Lawrence, Saratoga, Palisades of the Hudson, and the Hoosac Tunnel. The above arrangements will, no doubt, make the low rate excursion tickets offered by the Nickel Plate Road very popular. Call on or address J. Y.

IAS SIXTY-SIX YEARS OLD XD IX VERY POOR HEALTH. THE DETAILS FULLY GIVEN. She Han Been Despondent fop Sev eral Months, and Had Threat ened to Do the Deed. Genovia Danneker, a -German widow, aged sixty-six, crazed*** by liquor and la grippe, hung herself from the front porch of 1828 Carroll street early yesterday morning. This is the residence of John Peters, day janitor at the Prior avenue po lice station, who is a widower with four children, and who has employed Mrs. Danneker as housekeeper for the past six years. Since an attack of the grip two years ago the latter has often exhibited temporary signs of derangement," and for many months she has threatened to com mit suicide. Of late she has grown very intemperate, so much so that Mr. Peters was forced to notify her that, unless she reformed, she could no longer retain her place. Yester day she became much intoxicated, and repeated her threats of self- destruction. Mr. Peters, therefore, sat up until 2 o'clock yesterday morn ing to watch her. At that hour she retired. Soon the children reported that she was sleeping quietly, and the rest of the household also went to rest. When Mr. Peters came down stairs yesterday at 5:30 a. m., his attention was attracted by a swinging shadow in the sunlight across the front porch. He opened the door. The shadow was cast by the white-robed, emaciated form of his old house keeper, hanging lifeless from the roof of the porch. She was attired in her night dress. Her long, grey hair had blown in a tangled mass over her bosom and shoulders. Her hands were tightly clinched, with the nails almost piercing the palms. The eyes and mouth were .widely opened, giving the'haggard, wrinkled face an expression of fear and horror. The bare feet almost touched the floor. It was manifest that the old woman had arisen, gone to the stable, cut off a convenient length of small clothes line, and, returning, fas tened the line to the roof of the porch. She had then contrived an effective slipknot, climbed the front railing, placed the rope around her neck and jumped off toward the house. The body was quite cold and stiff, and had been doubtless hang ing for several hours. Mr. Peters cut the suicide down,, and at once informed the Prior avenue station and the coroner. The latter inspected the remains two hours later. He de cided that an inquest was not. need- Ed, suicide being self-evident. The body was sent to the undertaking establishment of Gothunz & Rock stroh, on East Seventh street. Wendeln Danneker, the woman's husband, died nine years ago in Germany. The couple had never had any children. Three years later Mrs. Danneker came to this country and was at once engaged to take care of Mr. Peters' four children and household. Six weeks ago the old woman, having saved some money, went back to Germany. She was well received by her relatives there, but soon tired of the old home, arid again arrived in St. Paul last Monday. At once she resumed her place at Mr. Peters'. Yesterday, in the father's absence, the semi-in toxicated nurse told the children that she was going to kill herself. She cried over the little ones, and gave to the eldest daughter her trunk, her few dresses, all her little knick knacks, and the $20 which remained of her sayings. The girl was much affected, and sent a note to her father asking him to come back and watch her old nurse. The result has been stated. Mrs. Danneker has no relatives in America, except a brother and sister living in Hennepin county. The money which she gave to the Peters child was expended yesterday in purchasing a coffin for the demented, yet affectionate, old creature, that she may be decently buried today. G. A.

The police believe that Hartley is most undesirable as a temporary resident of any city. It will be recalled that he was recently discharged in Minne apolis, whither he was taken from Baltimore by the Pinkerton agency. He was suspected of being one of the men by whom several banks in .Min neapolis, as well as the Bank of Min nesota and the Germania bank, of St. Paul, were defrauded of large amounts .some months ago.

Is 20 to 28— The Banquet, Speeches, Music and Genial Conviviality. . A black dog, with a stump tail and a wicked lear in his eye, ran across the diamond and threw a shadow over Bill Erwin's vision yes terday afternoon at Aurora park. It was in the second inning of the base ball game between the St. Paul .and Minneapolis policemen.. The dog was imported from Minneapolis by an enthusiastic rooter, and his personal idiosyncrasies were relied on to hoodoo anything they reflected on.. Consequently Umpire .Erwin became afflicted with a strabismal trance, it is alleged, when the black dog's shadow crossed his path. In that inning the St. Paul peelers made eight runs, and went so hopelessly ahead that the thief-takers and peace-preservers from up the river never caught up. They never got within "hailing distance even until the last inning, when the same black dog. was chased across the diamond' by James Nugenti Austin in motley garb. As he dodged from the far bleachers to the visiting . players' bench he ran directly over the ten der left foot of Officer Sweeney, the St. Paul pitcher. Right there the prize twirler*s effectiveness ceased, and before they got tired hitting the ball the Mill City coppers had ;y- 7:7 ': , BATTED OUT EIGHT RUNS and were in danger of making it anywhere from nine to twenty until Hagerty, for St. Paul, made a catch that caused even Capt. Rouleau to applaud. In the excitement that en sued, the Minneapolis athletes were hypnotized. They evidently thought that such a catch ought to retire any side, and so, in the language of Sergt. Jerry Sullivan "they blew the game and piped all hands to the wagons." This move left the score 29 ;to and there it stands, two men out, all out, and the umpire gone to rest beneath the shady side of his big bouquet, presented by Capt. Rouleau at the opening of the game. Prognostications of the most san guine man of the eighteen were dis counted by the crowd that assembled to see the game. Fully 3,000 people I were in the stands and scattered around the diamond. No small part of these had come from Minneapolis, with tin horns and a high-strung disposition to root as loud, as long, as deep, as daring. Old ladies and young ladies, beaux and babies the one -admiring, the other rather fear were as numerous as the staid citizen and the debonnair rounder. And not a whit less did they enjoy the picture of a well-meant effort run to 'seed or of proud strength wasted on air. If all Boston held its breath when Casey was at bat "with Blakey safe at second and Flynn a-huggin' third," it was a like condition that prevailed among the Minneapolis rooters when the pride of the force began the last half of the last inning of yesterday's game. "With the hope that springs eternal within the human breast" they - . 7 WATCHED AND WAITED. Nor did they wait in vain. The score stood 29 to 20, with St. Paul holding the heavy end, and Huckle berry Jim, the impressed mascot of the St. Paul coppers, began to gath er up the bats and other parapher nalia. But Johnson stepped up for Minneapolis and hit the ball so hard that Left Fielder Hynes thought it never would stop. Smith followed Johnson, and if he didn't knock the cover off the ball it wasn't for lack of driving force. Martin, Ollinger, Cronon, Dugan, Chamberlain, Mous so, and "the other Smith," emulated his example so heartily and so well that eight runs were sent over the plate in about as many minutes. Frank Horn's face began to assume the hue of a boiled haggis, and he beseeched the local rooters, with the eloquence of a Billy Nutts, to stay the fusillade. Then it was that a Minneapolis batter lifted the ball heavenward, and so far did it soar upward that all the fielders lost — except Hagerty, who felt he must redeem an otherwise un eventful day for him. He waited and watched, while Erwin looked over the rules relating to where flies go when out of sight; and presently his watching was rewarded. He opened his hands. y..- -7 • AND HE HELD THE BALL. s Minneapolis hopes fell into decay, and when the wondering umpire said "all out" it went. Hagerty was car ried from the field on the shoulders of his admiring brothers, and pan demonium reigned among the St. Paul partisans. 'Twas 29 to 28— much of a margin, but enough. It might have been worse, everybody | knew, so no one kicked. To attempt to detail the game would be vain, possibly tiresome, for it was noticed that several of the players were very tired at an early stage of the proceedings. Undoubt edly the star of the day was Officer ; Mousso, of Minneapolis. Erwin was given a swell bouquet, Sweeney a cabbage and the black mascot a cut of luscious watermelon, but Mousso deserves a monument. De spite his fifty-one years and his 250 pounds of avoirdupois, he batted with admirable vim and ran bases like a boy. "Besta player in two team"commented jolly Louis Merion, and "Begorrah that's so," assented bluff Ed Sexton. For St. Paul .Offi cer Gleason and Electrician Macaul ey . played like veterans, the one be hind^ the bat, the other at short. Officer Sweeney and Billy O'Brien likewise got to the front in good shape, alternating between the pitch er's box and first base. Martineau, too, slid to bases after. the approved st-/jeof the famous Kelly himself. Clarkin, at third, played with eclat and a big mitt, and.

Skoog— the ar tist of the St. Paul department, "a very clever guy with a pencil"— played as a substitute at the bat, and on the bases for Sweeney after the black dog had queered his feet; and Skoog is all right. In order to show that "there are others" in Minneapolis the police men from that city gave a very gen tlemanly as well as a very meritor ious performance. Not once did they question the umpire's decisions — they HE COULDN'T HELP IT. Not once did they engage in un seemly wrangling with him— Er win's face showed he had troubles of his own. No one questioned his de cisions, in fact, and Hon. Hiler.Hor ton, in the grand stand, remarked that Erwin ought to take a tumble and quit questioning the decisions of judges. The score by innings of the respec tive teams was: St. Paul 18 214 314 5-29 Minneapolis 2 3 5 12 12 4 B—2B St. Paul's uniform was white pants and caps, black sweater and black stockings. The Minneapolis athletes wore black pants, stockings and caps and brown sweaters, .-y y THE BANQUET LATER ON. After the game two patrol wagons j carried the players down to Arion hall, I where the St. Paul men had provided j refreshments in plenteous profusion. j Two long- tables were laid, and on them were placed all that a healthy man's ! appetite could crave. When all hands ! had satisfied the needs of the inner ! man a social session was held. Frank i Horn officiated as master of cere monies, and kept things moving in ex cellent shape. Songs were sung, stories told, there were recitations and fancy step dancing, and Ryder's Mandolin orchestra varied the programme with some very fine instrumental music. At the tables several of the St. Paul officers officiated as waiters, and they ! were no less courteous and painstak- j ing in furnishing entertaining features i for the social session. It was a very j appropriate wind-up of a busy day of ' Positively Only Big Show Coming This Year, First Time In St.Paul, C\n Grounds: Corner Stfllbans TUESDAY, AUG. Li St, and University Aye.
