tulle over silk and carried yellow chry
santhemums. The best man for the

WILL, ASK FOR NO OFFICES AT THE
COMIKO _EUIS_ATIVE SES
SION.
MONEY FOR THE NEW CAPITOL
IS ALL THAT THE MEMBERS FROM
THIS COUNTY DKiSIKE THIS
WINTER.
CANDIDATES FOR THE OFFICES.
Several Good Men Aspire to Posi
tions — Gossip About the Make-lp
of Committees.
Ramsey county will not ask for any
cf the offices in the coming legislative
session. But that is not saying Ram
sey county is going to be backward
fibout asking for what she wants this
winter. For some time the lawmakers
of the county have had to be quiet
and modest as well, because of the
capitol fight. But this winter it will
te different. The capitol has been lo
cated and the state is committed to
its erection in St. Paul.
"St. Paul will come to the front thia
year as she has not in many years
'.a the legislature," said a member of
the Ramsey county delegation yester
day. "We have no axes to grind, no
ermities to controvert, and are making
ro pledges on the fight for offices.
W hen we do make pledges we shall ex •
c.ct one in return, and you may be sure
we will see to it they will be fulfilled.
Last session the capitol fight kept ev
ery man on the delegation as dumb as
an oyster. This year we will knock a
c looked job when we see it, without
fear of losing a vote. The only thing
we want, and our interest in this is
identical with that of the state, is an
r.dditional appropriation to push work
on the new capitol. Every member ol
the delegation will work for that end,
and there will be some pretty fine work
done with the outside delegations to
accomplish that end.
"The chief difficulty we have to con
tend with is the prejudice of the coun
tiy against the two cities. There ia
aiways more or less jealousy on the
part of the country members every
time either St. Paul or Minneapolis
asks for ans'thing. This fault lies not
with the country members, but with
their constituents. It will be ea3y
enough to convince a country member
that more money appropriated for the
capitol will be an advantage to the
state at large, but his constituents
vill see it and perhaps raise cain with
the country member the next time he
comes up as a candidate.
* * *
"Under the law a certain per cem.
of the entire annual tax levy is avail
able for work on the capitol. It was
believed that within ten years the value
of taxable property in the state would
increase so that the entire sum needed
to complete the capitol wouhi
be raised in that period. This year
the taxable valuation of St. Paul hao
been materially reduced. We shall
lose some money there. During the
past two years the entire sum availa
ble has been 'only about $125,000 an
nually. That is not enough. It is pos
sible for the state to transfer money
from one fund to another if the legis
islature will permit. That is what we
shall ask for this winter. We want
money to press work on the capitol.
There's plenty of money in the school
fund that we could use if the legisla
ture will so order. All that is nec
essary is permission for the capitol
fund to borrow from the school fund,
the amount thus loaned to be repaid
later as the amount available from
the annual tax levy becomes larger
It is possible to let contracts cheaper,
labor is cheaper, material is lower now,
~nd will be this winter, than will be
possible next year or the following
years when there is certain to be a
return to good times and higher prices.
The expenditure of this money now
would mean employment for hundreds
In this dull time. The early comple
tion of the capitol is as much a neces
sity to the state at large as to St Paul
This is the fight we shall make this
winter. If we can persuade our fellow
legislators for the country that the city
rf St. Paul is not asking this for her
own sake, we shall be successful and
the new capitol will be completed all
the sooner. That's all St. Paul is go
ing to ask for this year. To accom
plish this end we are going to be good
fellows with every body else, ask for
nothing, give all that we can. Buf
you can make up your mind that the
Ramsey county delegation will no*
keep so much in the background as
during the last session."

The list of candidates for the speak
ership is becoming a long one. Henry
Feig, of Kandiyohi, is one of the latest
to bob up. Mr. Feig is said to have
the support of the entire Seventh dis
trict, but the friends of W. B. Douglas,
of Moorhead, are disposed 'to dispute
that claim. Mr. Douglas did more than
any one else to help re-elect Congress
man Eddy, and the people of that dis
trict are grateful for his work, and
Eddy himself has already put in a
large plug for the Clay county aspir
ant. J. D. Jones, of Long Prairie, was
in the city yesterday, talking over the
situation with such of the representa
tives who have drifted in to have
a hand in the preliminary struggle.
Jones, it is conceded, is thus far the
strongest man in the race. The Todd
county man doesn't claim to have the
battle won, but smiles when asked
what he thinks of his chances. C. F.
Staples and J. F. Jacobson are both in
the field, but it is likely that either
will withdraw, if the friends of the
other Insist. The two men have been
| such close friends that with one in the
speaker's chair the other is pretty cer
tain to get the pick of the best commit
tees or whatever he may ask at the
hands of the speaker. Joseph Under
leak, of Olmsted, is a strong candidate
also, and has the support of a large
part of the delegations from the south
ern part of the state. Hennepin has
two candidates, E. E. Smith and Judge
Hicks. But it is not very probable
that Hennepin will ask much. In the
event that McKinley should Invite
Senator Davis into his cabinet, there
would be a vacancy in the United
States senate that any number of Min
neapolis people think they should fill.
Ex-Senator Washburn is having him
self interviewed in Chicago, saying
pleasant things about McKinley, and in
other ways getting In trim for the sen
atorial lightning if it should strike in
his neighborhood.

Congressman Eddy was at the
Windsor, yesterday, looking as fresh
as could be expected after the rigors
' of a two months' campaign. Mr. Eddy
had been at home but once, and that
for a few hours, since the middle of
August. All the time he has spent in
the Seventh distrct campaigning as
as never candidate fought in this state
before. He said yesterday that, al
though he fully expected to be re
elected, the result of the ballot was a
surpise, and that his majority was
larger than he had hoped for. "The
campaign made against me was bitter
• and thorough," he said yesterday, "and
I really thought the defection the Dem
ocrats claimed among the Swedish
voters was larger than it proved to be.
I want to say that the Swedes in the
district stood by the Republican ticket
nobly. There was some- defection. due
THE SAINT PAUI, GLOBE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1898.
to local causes, but the result of the
election proved that the great majority
are true to the Republican party. I
am not certain when I shall go to
Washington — probably not until the
opening of the session. After so long
an absence from home it is necessary
that I should look after my private
affairs."
* • •
Congressman Kiefer is going to
Washington next Tuesday night. "I
have several matters of importance to
look after before the opening of the
session," he said yesterday, "and am
anxious to get to work. I shall renew
my efforts to get an Increased appro
priation for the new postoffice, and will
try and get the Lake Superior canal
scheme through. I believe the first
thing that congress will do will be to
pass the Dingley bill or some measure
that will yield the government suffi
cient revenue to pay running expenses
and prevent the issuance of more
bonds. I believe the. Democrats and
the silver Republicans will act with the
Republicans in this measure. If the
silver Republicans in the senate will
vote with their party on this question
there will be no difficulty in the pas
sage of such an act, and there will be
no necessity for an extra session after
McKinley is inaugurated."
* • •
"I have been mentioned as a candi
date for the speakership, but am in no
sense a candidate," said Representa
tive S>. T. Littleton, of Dodge county,
yesterday at the Merchants. "The First
district had the office two years ago,
and I understand there is some opposi
tion to the district having it again this
session. There will be much important
legislation to come up this year, and
I look for a lively session. The reap
portionment of which some members
are talking, will give us much trouble.
We in the southern part of the state
are much interested in this question.
There is no disposition to increase the
number of legislators, and if there
should be a reapportionment, we should
lose some of our representatives. The
Southern members are not yet ready
to take any sides on this matter."
* * *
Not content with canvassing the situ
ation for the offices of the house, the
political gossips are going into the de
tails of the organization of the commit
tees and speculating on the chairman
ships. The most important committee
to the state at large is that of the com
mittee on appropriations. J. F. Jacob
son, W. B. Douglas and A. N. Dare, of
Sherburne, are the only members of the
committee last session who are now
spoken of as the possible chairman.
Should C. F. Staples, of Dakota county,
be elected speaker, the chairmanship
of the committee would likely go to
Jacobson, and should Jacobson win as
speaker, the lucky card would be drawn
by Staples. Both men are familiar with
the details of the committee work, and
have many warm supporters for the
position. Mr. Dare is also a good busi
ness man, familiar with the details of
the committee work, and would com
mand many votes for the honor.
Douglas, who is also mentioned for the
place, is a lawyer, and will, likely be
provided for in the judiciary committee.
J. K. Grondahl is the most likely candi
date for the chairmanship of the ways
and means committee. He was a mem
ber of the committee last session. Henry
Johns, of Ramsey, is a candidate for
the chairmanship of the judiciary as
are also C. P. Reeves and W. B. Doug
las. During the last session Johns was
chairman of one of the subcommittees
and will have strong support for the
general chairmanship this year.
• * •
"Uncle Charley" McEwen, of Ren
ville county, who was a member of the
larger houfee in the legislature of 1893,
was a caller at the capitol yesterday.
Beyond three-score and ten then, "Un
cle Charley" was forced into the office
in a measure by the exigencies of poll
tics, but the members of the house all
remember with pleasure, the pictures
que, sometimes quaint, New England
rusticity that bubbled good humoredly
out of the old man's occasional speech
es. An unappreclative constituency,
however, neglected to return him, and
in order that the fund of cloak room
stories this year may not be less inter
esting than in the World's Fair year
a number of the old members are in
favor of installing "Uncle Charley" as
keeper of one of the house cloak rooms.
• • •
Johns is also talked of as chairman
of the oommittee on municipal logis
lation. This committee is one that will
be of considerable importance owing to
the adoption of the constitutional
amendment doing away with special
legislation. The chairmanship will un
doubtedly go to one of the large cities
of the state.
• • •
Dan Shell, of Worthington, who oc
cupied second place on the committee
on railroads two years ago, will like
ly be placed at the head of the com
mittee this year. C. A. Parker, of
Washington, is mentioned as a likely
candidate for the first place on the
committee on grain and warehouses,
J. F. Jacobson and C. F. Staples, one
or the other, will likely be namr>d as
chairman of the committee on public
lands, especially if there is to be any
important pine land legislation this
session. O. O. Holman, of Murray
county, a former member of the com
mittee is also mentioned for the place.

MAYOR DORAN TAKES A HAND
In the Effort, to Reduce the Police
Telegraph' to- a. Political
Basis.
Assemblyman Thompson made a sec
end attempt yesterday to get the job
of Thomas Macaulay, the superintend
ent of the police telegraph patrol sys
tem, for a man of his who lives in the
Second ward. Again the attempt
failed. When the question of mak
ing a change in the office was present
ed to a caucus of the members of the
common council called yesterday at tha
instigation of Mr. Thompson, the mem
bers decided by a vote of ten to eight
that there should be no change.
The members of the council with two
or three exceptions were at a loss to
understand the written notices re
ceived yesterday forenoon, summoning
them to meet in caucus at 5 p. m. in the
mayor's office. The notices were made
out on the city clerk's blanks used for
calling committee meetings, etc., and
bore the printed signature of the city
clerk. As the call did not state the
object, many of the members did not
know when they reached the mayor' 3
office who had called the caucus nor
why it had been called. Those who did
know v/ere reticent and a general air
of secrecy prevailed among them.
It was ascertained, however, that the
caucus was called by the mayor at the
request of Assemblyman Thompson
and Aid. Stutsman, of the Second
ward, with a? view of ascertaining
whether enough votes could be se
cured to dismiss Joseph Macaulay from
Ms position as superintendent of the
police telegraph patrol and to elect in
his place Joseph King, an electrician
employed at the Wood Harvester
works, who resides in the Second waru
near Hazel Park.
The advisability of making a change
in this office was passed upon last
summer soon after the present council !
came in. At that time ex-Superinten- i
dent Birge of the police patrol sys
tem, and the same Joseph King, were
both looking for Mr. Macaulay's posi- |
tion, Mr. Thompson favoring King's
a andidacy and Mr. Reardon support- \
ing Birge. But the caucus voted not j
to make any changes and none was j
made.
The fact of the matter is that the j
office in question has never been sub- ,
ject to political deals. Ex-Superin- j
tendent Birge was the first to assume i
the office when it was created some !
eight or ten years ago, and he retained '
it until a year ago last May, when the
coram ton council elected Mr. Macaulay
Is his place, in consequence of certain '
complaints or charges preferred against
Mr. Birge. The council was Demo- i
cratic, but it had been in power almost
one year before electing Mr Macaulay.
There is no definite term of service at- ,
tached to the office. The incumbent
holding the position at the pleasure
of the common council.
After the caucus came to order yes- j
terday, the object of calling it was ex
plained to all. There were eighteen j
members present, — ail of the assembly i
and nine of the board, Aldermen j
Lindahl and Allard being the absen- j
tees. The first question suggested by !
the proposition to elect a new superin- i
tendent of police patrol telegraph was. i
what is the matter with Mr. Macaulay?
Some of the aldermen wanted to know i
if there were any charges against Mr.
Macau lay or any dissatisfaction with j
his work or conduct. Not a charge or i
a complaint was presented against !
him, except that he stood in the way j
of Mr. Thompson's Republican candi- |
date, Joseph King. After some dis- !
cussion of this aspect of the case, the ■
vote was taken on a motion that there j
be a change made in the office of super- >
in tendent of police patrol telegraph. It ;
resulted, as previously announced, in
ten votes against a change and eight
votes in favor of it. Then the caucus
was broken by the retirement of three :
or four members from the room.
Mr. Macaulay ow.^s his thanks chiefly ,
to the aldermen wlho nearly all voted !
against making any change, while the |
eight votes iivfavor of a change were ;
mostly cast •by >r the assemblymen,
though Mr. Reardon is known to have
voted "no." '
The board of aldermen seems not
to be so partisan a'body as the assem
bly.

"VERY COSTLY PAUPERS.
Southwestern: Counties Run Poor
Farms for One Inmate.
Secretary H. H. Hart, of the state
board of corrections and charities, has
just returned from a tour of inspection
of the public institutions in Chippewa,
Renville and Yellow Medicine coun
ties. One of these counties has an
$8,000 investment in a poor house and
farm, with only one pauper in care,
while another county of the trio like
wise has one pauper, although the sur
roundings are not as expensive. The
state board will renew its efforts for an
economical change in poor supervision
in the counties involved.

BRANCHES.
TWO COMMITTEES AUTHORIZED.
One to Prepare a Constitution and
the Other to Select Otheers for
the Ensuing- Year.
F. R. Boooock, secretary of the
National Association of Credit Men
talked less than an hour to represen
tatives of St. Paul's wholesale houses
j yesterday afternoon, and convinced
j them that the best thing to do was to
| organize a branch of the national as
i sociation. This association, which is
less than one year old, has branches
in a dozen states, and Mr. Boocock
! is engaged in the work of interesting
j the business men of other states in
j the movement.
The meeting yesterday was held in
! the committee rooms of the chamber
l of commerce association and there
I were present representatives from the
! following houses: Powers Dry Goods
! company, W. J. Dyer & Bros., Price &
Robbins, Sharood & Crooks, Nicols &

; Konantz Saddlery Co., P. R. L.
j Hardenbergh & Co., Noyes Bros.
j & Cutler, Gordon & FeT
! guson, McKibben & Co., and Guiter
mann Bros. Theodore L. Schurmeier
1 was chosen chairman and C. D.
' t Maclaren secretary. Mr. Boocock was
] introduced to explain the object of the
; gathering and to tell something of the
! organization a branch of which it i 3
; proposed to organize in St. Paul.
Mr. Boocock outlined the object of
j the national association as set forth
jin the constitution of that body. It
j contemplates the organization of in
j dividual credit men and of associations
of credit men throughout the United
j States for the purpose of rendering
; more uniform and establishing more
[ firmly the basis upon which credits in
: every branch of commercial enterprise
| may be founded, which shall include a
! demand for a reform of the laws un-.
j favorable to honest debtors and cred
] itors, and the enactment of laws bene
■ iieial to commerce throughout the sev
; eral states. The improvement of exists
| ing methods for the dissemination of
information, the gathering and dis^
semination of data in relation to the
subject of credits; the amendment of
Imsfness customs, whereby all com
mercial interests may be benefited and
the welfare of all anvaneed; the provU
sion of a fund for the protection of
I members against injustice and fraud,
I are also among the purposes of the
1 organization.
Particularly did Mr. Boocock dwell
| upon the desirability of a uniform sys
i tern of balances, which this system
would insure to the credit men of the
country. He spoke also of the possi
bility of fraudulent concerns being
driven from competition with legiti
mate business interests. "Under the
present system it is possible for an un
scrupulous merchant to purchase a
stock of goods, have his concern de
clared Insolvent and himself become
the possessor of the bankrupt stock to
| the great loss of the firm who furnish
| ed the goods. Then the unscrupulous
I merchant goes into a community and
j by his cheap sales can drive an honest
| merchant into loss of business and
bankruptcy. This has been done time
and time again in every community
to the detriment of the wholesaler and
the honest retail merchant. With
such an organization as it proposed
to place in this state the fraudulent
dealer would be unable to procure a
stock of goods from any wholesale
merchant except on the most rigid
terms."
In reference to the legislative work
of the association Mr. !Boocock said
that the national association proposed
to reach congress and other legislative
bodies through the state associations.
"If you are anxious for the passage of
laws that will protect your business
it is not possible that your legislature
will refuse to accede to the demands
of the jobbers of the Twin Cities. In
the same way you can memorialize
congress, as we in New York propose

to do. The Tbrrey bankruptcy bill is
almost exclusively an assignee's bill,
and the New York association of credit
men will memorialize congress to urge
its passage. But there are a hundred
topics that are of Interest to you busi
ness men of the West that you should
bring before your legislature for local
relief that the Torrey bill does not
reach at all." Mr. Boocock then sug
gested that the organization be similar
to that recently undertaken by the
business men of Chicago. Mr. Young,
of Finch, Van Slyck, Young & Co.,
favored the formation of a local as
sociation, and moved that a committee
be appointed to take the necessary
steps to bring about that end. Finally
at the suggestion of Mr. Boocock the
following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, Trade conditions and credit cus
toms are imperfect by reason of the variation
and dissimilarities in our various statutory
provisions, frequently resulting in injustice
to creditors and in injury to honest debtors;
and,
Whereas, It is believed that by concerted,
systematic and vigorous action on the part
of mercantile industries, it is possible to
bring about mutual improvements, greater
similarity in uses of trade and more uniform
and desirable legislation, as to the just and
equitable rights of debtor and creditor; :nnd.
Whereas, The National Association of Ci-adit
Men has been established with worthy, prac
tical and meritorious objects; and.
Whereas, It is de3i_ed necesary to the proper
execution of the plans and purposes thus
possible of achievement, that there shall be
local associations in every state in the Union;
therefore be tt
Resolved, That it Is the sense of this meet
ing that the St. Paul Credit Men's associa
tion be established upon lines similar to those
of the New York and New Orleans organiza
tions; and be is further
Rersolved, That the chairman be and hereby
is authorized to appoint at this time two
committees of five members each for the
purpose, respectively, of preparing a consti
tution and bye-laws and the nomination of
officers to serve for the ensuing year; and
be it still further
Resolved, That when this meeting adjourn
it shall be to meet again on Tuesday afternoon,
Nov. 17, at 4 p. m.. in the rooms of the
jobbers' union, for the purpose of perfecting
permanent organization.
Chairman Schurmeier then an
nounced the following committees.
On Organization — J. A. Snowden, C. D.
Maclaren, J. H. Skinner, P. D. Fer
guson, and A. Wilkinson. On Officers—
A. P. Warren, A. B. Driscoll, George
L. Beardsley, Alfred Scheffer and L.
W. French.
All the gentlemen present expressed
themselves as greatly in favor of the
project. Such an organization would
be worth untold sums to us if only for
the sake of the uniform balance sys
tem alone," said Mr. Young. "I have
no doubt the wholesale men of the city
will see the great benefits to be de
rived from such an organization and
will hasten to express their approval
by becoming members." Mr. Schur
meier also expressed the same opinion.
Before the meeting adjourned cards
were passed about and those present
asked to sign the names of the firms
and their sentiments on the question
of organization. All of those present
who were authorized to speak for their
respective houses signed the cards with
the understanding that they were will
ing to become charter members of the
new organization. Others who were
equally enthusiastic, had not that ,
authority, but said they had no doubt
their houses would subscribe to the
project.
Mr. Boocock went to Minneapolis last
evening where he will organize a
similar association.
LAUNDRY PRICE LISTS.
An Effort to Have Them Made More
Uniform.
Representatives of fifteen of the
largest laundries in the city met last
Eight at the Clarendon to talk over the
business situation. The laundrymen a',
cne time had a strong organization
in St. Paul, but of late it has been
permitted to lapse, and it was as much
for the purpose of reviving the asso
ci.ition as for the discussion of rates
and other matters that the meeting
Inst night was held. The sentimenc
seemed unanimous that the organiza
tion should be revived and strength
ened. It is hoped by so doing some of
the smaller laundrymen, who have
been doing work at about half the rate
charged by the other laundries, will
be brought into the fold and a unifrom
system of charges be established all
over the city. It is claimed that tho
ruinou3 rates established by the small
er laundries have cut into the business
end profits of the larger laundries dur
ing the past year. It is now proposed
to enlarge the membership of the as
frceiation if possible and secure the es
tablishment of uniform rates through
out the city. Another meeting will be
held in the near future to perfect the
plans.
ANNUAL TEMPERANCE SUNDAY.
Call Issued for Its Observance Nov.
2»th.
The effort being made by the Chirs
tian temperance people to establish the
fourth Sunday of November as annual
temperance Sunday, to be universally
observed, which originated in the Lon
don Sunday School union, has been
taken up by leading temperance and
Sunday school workers of America and
has the indorsement of bishops and
clergymen of nearly all denominations.
The General Assembly, of the Presby
terian church, changed the date of their
annual temperance Sunday to the
fourth Sunday of November, and the
General Assembly of the United Pres
byterian church, the National Triennial
Council of Congregational churches,
and the General Conferance of the
Methodist Episcopal church have by
resolution recommended and urged its
annual observance in all their churohes.
By action of the executive committee
of the international Sunday school con
vention, the Sunday school workers
everywhere are called upon for its spec
ial observance, accordingly Bishops
Vincent and Ninde, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and representatives
of the other organizations named, have
issued the following:
"We recommend that temperance ser
mons be preached in the morning and
special attention be given to the teach
ing of a Bible temperance lesson In the
Sunday school, with the introduction of
such other features as will make the
Sunday school hour significant for tem
perance. We would call the attention
of the Young People's societies to the
subject of the temperance reform, and
ask that in their evening meetings it
be made a special subject of prayer.
We would further suggest that in
the evening union temperance or Chris
tian citizenship meetings be held in
localities where it may be practicable."
NEW BETHESDA DEDICATED.
Lutheran Hospital the Scene of a
Glorious Service.
One of the best equipped of local in
stitutions was opened to the public
yesterday afternoon when the dedica
tion of the remodeled and modernized
Bethesda hospital on Wacouta and
Ninth streets took place. The insti
tution is one well known among the
Scandinavian residents of the state of
Minnesota and is the property of the
Tabitha society of the state which
controls it. This society was organized
in the year ISBO and incorporated un
der the laws of the state for the pur
pose of erecting and maintaining char
itable institutions. In 1881 the society
bought a beautiful tract of land on the
East side of Lak<* Como and fitted up
a large house already on the premises
where Bethesda hospital commenced
its work. This location did not prove
suitable on account of its distance from
the center of the city. The hospifal
work was therefore discontinued for
several years. In 1891 Rev. C. A.
Hultkrans, the present superintendent,
accepted a call from the society and
the work was again taken up. The
former home of H. P. Upham was se
cured and thirty-six beds placed in the
wards provided. In this location the
hospital has carried on its work for
nearly five years During that time
1,400. patients have been treated. The
last years' report shows 400 cases
treated, 257 cured, 77 improved, 15 non
curable, and only ten deaths. Ninety
per cent are residents outside of St.
Paul. During the summer the hospital
has been closed for four months, dur
ing which time it has been thoroughly
remodeled and modernized and en
larged to more than twice its former
capacity at an expense of nearly $18,
--000. Its present capacity is sixty-five
beds, including twelve private rooms.
The whole structure has been raised to
three stories instead of two. Steam
heat has been put in and the latest
plumbing. An elevator is one of the
improvements, and it Is said that the
three operating rooms on the top floor
are the best equipped in the state. A
room for the examination of the eyes,
medicine rooms, bath rooms, linen
closets, etc., are among the improve
ments on the top floor, all of which
are lighted with the best system of
electric lighting. This is especially
true of the operating rooms which are
so lighted from above as to be used
in the evening: as well as in the day
time. In the basement are located
the kitchen, dining room, morgue, fur
nace room, enormous cold storage
room, cellar, etc. On the first floor
are the reception rooms, office, and a
number of wards. Yesterday the ex
ercises were held on the second floor,
and addresses were made by Rev. Mr.
Fogelstrom, the rector of the Dea
conesses Institution of Omaha, and
the first president of the conference,
Rev. E. Norelius D. D. The formei
spoke of the love of Christ in caring
for the sick, telling of Its necessity in
the work of the nurse though skill was
that desired of the surgeon. He spoke
of the distinction between the trained
nurse and the deaconess, the latter
being trained for her work by the
church and in the love of God. For
this work she gets nothing beyond her
board and uniform. Rev. Dr. Norelius
spoke of the "Duty of the Church in
Caring for the Sick." The Troubador
Male Quartette furnished a number
of selections. Supper followed ln the
dining room, served by the women of
the First Swedish Lutheran church
and the deaconesses of the hospital,
and in the evenini? there was a pro
gramme in the First Baptist church,
given by Rev. P. J. Sward, D. D., Rev.
John Paul Effbert, N. P. Wold, and
the First Lutheran church choir.
