THESE WILL RECEIVE COMMITTEE IX CHARGE OF THE INAKiVHAI, RECEPTION TIESDAV EVEXINa PROMINENT ST. PAUL PEOPLE Ko I'nrty Lines Are Drawn In the Designation of Those Who "Will Greet the Gnetitu Who Come From Outside the City Ye.iv Govern . or'M Welcome Will Be n Most Cor (linl One. Final arrangements have been per fected tor the reception to be tendered Governor-elect Lind and Mrs. John Lind by the citizens of St. Paul on Tuesday evening at the Ryan hotel. The reception promises to be one of the largest affairs of its kind ever held in St. Paul, and will be attended by representative men from all polit ical parties, who will unite in giving the Incoming governor a cordial wel come, une which can be none other than Battering to Mr. Lind, coming, as it does, unsolicited, as a general ex presslon of sood will on the part of the citizens of the Capital City among the hills. The spacious parlors of the Ryan •will be decorated handsomely for the occasion, with national colors, and a large string orchestra will be hidden behind a bank of palms, from where it will play during the evening. Every one attending will so far as possible b.j given a chance to greet Mr. Lind personally. Gov. and Mrs. Lind will be assisted in receiving by prominent men from each party. Those attending will be presented by several well known St. Paul people. Perhaps the most laborious task has been accomplished by the invitation committee in sending out invitations. The committee has endeavored to send an invitation to every one whom it thought would like to attend, but it has doubtless overlooked some and any who do not receive invitations need not feel slighted, as the affair 'Is strictly In the hands of the citizens, and n general invitation has been ex tended. The various committees completed their labors yesterday. The reception committee and ushers were announced yesterday as follows: RECEPTION COMMITTEE. Hon. H. R. Brill, Hon. C. E. Otis, Hon. W. L.

THIRD INFANTRY BAND'S FAREWELL CONCERT FIX AL, APPEARANCE BEFORE GOING TO MANILA AT THE GRAND TODAY Splendid Prdgramme Has Been Ar ranged by Conductor Qravei, nnd tlit- Seating Capacity of the The ater Will B© Severely Tared. Today at the Grand opera house the people of St. Paul will have their last opportunity to hear the famous Third Infantry band — unless it so happens that the regiment is marched through the streets of St. Paul when it starts for Manila. Thousands of people in this town will regret that there will not be room for 10,000 people in the Grand today, instead of the 2,000 that the house will hold. As the admis sions to the house have been offered at the uniform admission of 50 cents, and there is little choice in the mat ter of seats, those who are in line first will have the better of those who are late this afternoon. The concert will open promptly at 3 o'clock. All of the old members of the mag nificent musical organization — every man of the band that went to Santia go last summer, with the exception of the one poor fellow who was laid in a grave at tha foot of San Juan hill — will respond when Conductor Charles Graves raises his baton for the over ture. It is a grand organization, and aa much as its work has been appre ciated in St. Paul, it is even better known and appreciated in army and musical circles, for it is the crack band of the regular organization, and its work will be a revelation to the peo ple of the coast, of Honolulu and Ma nila within a month or so. The Third infantry is the oldest regiment In the army, having been formed from the First infantry at the time of the re organization in 1808. During all these years there has been a band in the regiment. The Third band played the regiment into the city of 'Mexico at the time of the conquest of that place, and it has been in the van in many a hot action, both before that time and since. When the regiment was ordered to the front last summer, the band attracted the widest attention at the great mil itary camp at Mobile and other points. During the advance on Santiago and in the affair at San Juan, the band put away their instruments and fought in the trenches, one of its members being the first man killed in front of Santiago. There were twenty-seven men in the organization when the band left SnelUnjr last summer,, and when the regiment returned there were five men of the musicians fit for duty — the rest had been left in hos pitals in the East and in Cuba, It is only within a month or two that all of the men have rejoined the regiment, and today will be the first time since the return from Cuba that all of the men will appear in St. Paul. Among the members of the band there are several notable men. Conductor Graves Is one of the most popular men at the fort, and has a wide reputation among musicians throughout the coun try. He has been In the service fif teen years and saw service in Monta na with the Third before the removal of the regiment to Snelling. He is re sponsible in a large measuro for the present high standard of the organiza tion. Among the other well known men in the organization are Drum Major McGuffln, who has spent his thirty years in the army and who now has a son with the Fifteen ch Minne sota. For many years his soldierly form has been In the van of the band when the organization has turned out, as It has so many times, for public functions in St. Paul. Sergeant Joe Moore has been for thirty-two years in the army and is reputed to be the best drummer in the service. He has given two sons to the service of his country. And there are musicians of such note that not less than five of them are soloists of repute. For the band itself the people of St. Paul are too well acquainted with it and its work to require to be told about It and the town should turn out en masse this afternoon for the farewell and make the appearance of the band the signal for an ovation. In addition to the brass Mrs S V Harris and Miss Millie E. Pottgieser have tendered their services for the occasion, with Mrs. Frank Hoffman as accompanist, and the programme, which follows, pi-omises an excellent concert: «*■ S. V .Harris Soprano Miss M. E.

THE ST. PAUL GJLOBE-— SUNDAY JANUARY 1, 1899. DOWLIM PULLS OUT HBJ CUTS OBTE FACTOR OUT OF THE SBJr.VrE SECRETARYSHIP CONTEST GETTING ELI WARNER LINED Apparent Opposition to D»tli la Snppoared to Be Only a. Bluff to Keep the Machinists From Mln bHiiut Too Familiarly In the Fight for the Legislative Places Gos sip of the Contests. One face dropped out of the fight for secretary of the senate last night and one new contestant was added to the lists. "Mike" Dowling, of Renville, with drew, and E. H. Folson, of Taylors Falls, entered, although whether he will ever pass the post, speaking in the technique of the track, is as yet a question. It was observable yesterday that there was a considerable tendency to ward Langum, due to geographical rea sons, perhaps, as well as-personal, and based on the theory that the Republi can First district ought to get some thing good out of the present scramble. This was the last thing that Dowling waited, for, if the Renville banker does not make up his mind to run for congress in 1900, he will want to be secretary of state and that Is the same Job Langum is after, for they do not figure either of them, that Albert Berg will want to hang on forever to the soft snap he now has at the capitol. The Republican machine men, whip ped into ll'ne by Heatwole, Eddy and Nelson, have been supporting Martin as openly as they dared, and iDowling withdrew in the hope of swinging his strength to Martin, in return for the moral support of the machine should he shy his castor into the state arena in two years. His withdrawal, however, was not assumed to be binding on any one, as nearly as could be ascertained, al though the Martin people were san guine that it would redound to the benefit of their candidate. Langum, however, and his friends in sist that he will do as well in Dowllng's following as Martin, and the fight real ly seems to be between the two. Langum's friends claim that three of the Minneapolis senators have come over to that side, which, if true, is a sericas blow to Martin's candidacy aa a large number of votes have been promised to the St. Cloud man's contin gent on his ability to get the support of the Fifth district Republicans. Verity and Van Duzee may be ex pected between now and Monday night to throw their strength to Langum in preference to Martin, as some little asperity has been created by what the others call the "buccaneering" ■methods used by some of Martin's sup porters. As it stands, however, the contest is a close one between Langum and Martin, for the latter has already survived the assault of a very indis creet publication on the part of one fool friend, only to win the enmity of his adversaries in this later instance, through no fault of his own. • * * More activity was apparent around the Ramsey delegation yesterday in behalf of the cause of Cushman K. Davis than was the case previously, the publication in The Globe yes terday morning of the fact that some soreness existed in the party resulting in an effort on the part of the man agers of Mr. Davis' campaign to mol lify the ruffled ones and get the old machine in working order again. None of the suspected ones would admit that there was any danger of their breaking over the traces, but the word was quietly passed, out that it might be as well for the Davis engi neers to run slow until they get past the red flag, the same meaning, pre sumably, that they had better make Eli Warner keep his hands out of some of the fights for legislative spoils which are now going on. This suggestion had little effect,, however, for the astute Eli Is so sererre in his self-satisfied anticipation of dropping Into "Dick" O'Connor's In dian fighting job that he figures "a king can do no wrong." • • • When Speaker Dare distributes his plums in the shape of committee chair manships, George R. Laybourn, of Duluth, will probably pull off the prize in the taxes and tax laws committee. Mr. Laybourn is the only hold-over from St. Louis county in the house and naturally takes a lead In the del egation, and, furthermore, he was a member of the steering committee that did so much to further Dare's speaker ship ambitions when that gentleman waa only on the anxious seat. • • • The meeting of the state editorial association helped the candidacy of Prof. Farnsworth for superintendent of pulbllc instruction. Many of the dele gates, especially among the county su perintendents who had thrown the weight of their influence to any of I the candidates, voluntarily offered to add their Indorsements to Prof. Farns worth and doubtless have since done so. It develops that the first day of the session Irwin Shepard, of Winona, began a quiet movement in the Inter est of Prof. Denfield. It had a reac tionary effect before the convention was over. An attempt was at one time made to get signers to a petition in forming Gov. Lind that either Prof. Denfield or Prof. Lewis would be ac ceptable to the educational interests. It was this more than anything else that drove the current the way of Prof. Farnsworth. It is understood, however, that Prof. Farnsworth's in dorsements were numerous and strong before the meeting of the association, but that the result of the gathering of the teachers strengthened it up if it had any effect at all either way. It is thought that in case of the se lection of Prof. Farnsworth, that the labor commlssionership will go to Min neapolis and that Martin McHale or some other union labor man will get it It is still believed that MoHale stands at this time a better chance of being appointed than any man under con sideration. *• • • The Thirteen Towns, Fosston, says; "S. A. Farnsworth, formerly a Red River valley teacher and now princi pal of the Cleveland High school, of St. Paul, is a prominent candidate for superintendent of public Instruction. Mr. Farnsworth is an able • educator and the people of this end of the state will be pleased to have him receive the appointment." Three new candidates for state places have made themselves knowjj at Ada. They are all professional wheat buyers and desire positions on the grain inspection force. The most prominent of the three and the only ones that have so far taken any active steps towards furthering their plans are A. C. Gecke and Fred Heising, the former buying wheat for the Thorpe Elevator company and the latter for the Northwestern. These two gentle men have already prepared a formal petition, and received the signatures of the prominent politicians of both the Democratic and People's party. The other gentleman who Is spoken of as a candidate lo Fred Ardlst, who_ formerly bought wheat for the North-* western, but through some mlsunder-- standing between the buyer and one of his patrons trouble arose which re sulted In the resignation of Mr. Ardlst, and he was succeeded by Mr. Heising, who also becomes his contem porary again. All three gentlemen are proficient In their profession and are capafble of performing good service for the state. • • • Monday will bt a holiday at the state house and the offices will be closed. In the evening, however, the Republican caucus will be held, and the corridors of the upper floor will be the scene of great activity, as the 4,000 applicants, more or less, for legislative honors, will be on hand to hear the result of the ses sion. For Saturday yesterday was a very busy day at the state house. All the departments were open all day, which was quite unusual. The book* of tha auditor and treasurer were clo B ed for the year, and tha offi cials exchanged greetings of the sea son. The retiring officials spent the day packing up their personal property and getting tne departments into shape for their successor*. Gen.

Clough and the inau gural of the new governor, John L.lnd, of New Ulm. It is possible that the entire slate In each house may, however, be elected before the message of the governor is received. • • • While today will no doubt be a busy, one, as the average political button holer is not a close observer of the Sab bath, with the opening of a legislative session so close at hand, yet tomorrow will ba the real day. Each congres sional delegation in the Republican ranks has a caucus called for the aft ernoon, and in the evening the house and senate Republicans will hold sepa rate conferences for the making up of the final slate. The Democrats, too, are to have a meeting tomorrow evening, at which they will present nominations for con tention on the floor of the respective branches Tuesday, more as a matter of compliment than anything else.

ARIONS SANG GLEES TO GREET NEW YEAR 1890 I'SHEKHH IN BY THE] GERMAN SINGING SOCIETY WITH anisic One of the Most Notable Events In the History of the Organization Was This, Its Twenty-Third An mini Cotncc-rt and Ball. The twenty-tblrd anniversary of the organization of the St. Paul Arion Singing society was celebrated last evening by the society at Mozart hall, with a fine concert and a ball. The singing began at 9 o'clock, and the programme was opened by a full choir of mala voices who rendered Abt's "Jubilee Song" in a splendid manner. Henry Knaff and George Gerlach were the soloists, and, with Henry Schuaaacher and Anthony Frank, formed" a quartette. John S. Grode, musical director of the society, led the singing The singers were heartily applauded by the large au dience which was present. The second number was a ladies' chorus, in which all the singers ap peared in dresses of pure white. "Waves of the Danube" was the se lection, the soprano solo being sung by Mrs. Julia Schumacher, who made a distinct hit. So pleased was the au dience that it * demanded an encore and the ladies sang "Birds in Spring time," by Gall. Mrs. Herman Dahle next sang "Thou Wondrous Youth," by Abt, and was obliged to respond to an encore. Mrs. Dahle rendered "O,- Happy Day; O, Day So Dear," by Goetz. William Hartman sang "The Moth erland," with male chorus, and the curtain fell upon a storm of applause. The second part of the programme opened with an oration on "German Song," by Joseph Matt. During this part of the exercises the ladies of the society occupied seats on the stage, director Grode being in the center. Mr. Matt rehearsed the history of Ger man song from the earliest days, and brought his narrative down to the present. He dwelt particularly upon the German ppets J who have lived In the Northwest, and predicted that, glorious as has been the past of Ger man song, the future would produce even greater poets than those who have gone. The next number was a six-part chorus, with solo-quartette, the selec tion being "Silent. Night O'ercasts the Earth," by iJessltr. The quartette was composed the Misses Christina and Elizabeth .Simmer and George Gerlach and Pet,?r., Heck. Miss Anna Grode was on the pro gramme for a song, but she was una ble, owing to illrress, to appear, and the audience was greatly disappointed when the announcement was made. "Herr Nudelmueller and His Daugh ter," a one act musical farce, was sung by Jacob Simmer, as Herr Nu delmueller; Miss Jeane Rauenini, as the daughter Gretchen, and M. F. Gardner, as the love-struck opera manager. The play scene excited the risibilities of the audience, and was excellently sung and acted. The concert closed with the singing of "The Heart of the Rhine," by the united male and female chorus. The ! trio was sung by Mrs. Katherine Fren zel and the Misses Amelia Schmidt and Mamie Jansen. The singing of this song was one of the triumphs of the evening. Miss Hildegarde Renta was the ac companist during the evening and con tributed very largely to the general excellence of the entertainment. At the conclusion of the concert the hall was cleared of the chairs, and the audience entered upon the terpsicho rean portion of the programme. The Arion orchestra supplied the music, Daniel Muhlenbruch directing It. It was one of the most successful cele brations the society has ever held. — <-*. _ DANCED OUT A DYING YEAR. Elks' Clock Stopped, bnt th* Mazy Walts Went On. The third of th4i\ series of Informal dancing parties arranged by th© local lodge of Elks, was.iglven last evening at the hall. It, was. understood that the old year was to be watched out. but some one stopped the clock at 10:30, and when the New [Tear was ushered in at midnight the guests were dancing a waltz. Seventy -five couples enjoyed and danced through, a programme of thirty dances to the music furnished by the Twin City Mandolin orchestra. The hall was decorated with palms, flags and bunting and refreshments were served at midnight. The entertainment commute* wast J. B. Baker, F. J. McLoughlin and B. H. Tenny. Nursss Start for Manila. Miss Erlckson. of St. Paul, and Mrw. Bu*. ton, of Minneapolis, left yesterday afternooa for San Francisco, from where they will sail on the Soandia about Jan. 10 for Manila, to enter the general awpiiai varvlo* ttMT*. MNTIRE MAY STAY MAYOR KIEFER'g I,I( i:\SK 111. SPEtTOK (JETS A RESPITE FROM THE DISTRICT COURT QUO WARRANTO DISMISSED Attorney General Chllds Drop* the lAOgaitlon Which Wm Begun at the Instance otf Alex Perry At torney Bowe Questions the State* Rlffht to Take Such Action Un less the Reason la Apparent. Judge Bunn, In the district court yes terday, dismissed the action brought by the state, ex rel. Alexander Perry, against Martin L. Mclntire, to oust the latter from the office of license Inspec tor, on the ground that the age quail ft catlon prescribed In the charter was violated In the appointment. The dis missal was granted on stipulation nied by Attorney General Chllds, withdraw ing his consent to have the action brought in the name of the slate, and a stay of twenty days waa granted to the relator to perfect an appeal from the ruling. Mclntire, who is over fifty yearß old, was appointed to the office of license Inspector by Mayor Klefer In spite of a provision in the charter that no man shall be appointed to the police force who is over thirty-five years old and the license inspector Is first appointed to the force and then specially detailed. Mclntire had a strong backing among Mayor Kiefer's friends in the Fourth ward and had always been credited with having a strong pull with the mayor. This was so much the caaa that Alexander Perry, who was dis charged from a position as bailiff of the municipal court, charged Mclntire with having procured his dismissal. Perry, accordingly, secured A. E. Bowe as attorney and the latter ob tained permission from the attorney general to bring quo warranto proceed ings for the ousting of Mclntire. Than the mayor and his Fourth ward friends rallied to the support of his appointee and strong pressure was brought to bear on the attorney general to have the proceedings quashed. In this con nection the novel plea was advanced that the relator was prompted by a spirit of malice rather than a desire for thg material betterment of the re spondent. After a number of conferences this view of the case impressed itself on the attorney general, who filed a stipu lation withdrawing his permission to have the proceedings begun in the name of the state. When, after several continuances, the case finally came up for hearing two weeks ago before Judge Bunn, E. E. McDonald moved lor a dismissal on the grounds of the stipulation, and A. E. Bowe, for the respondent, sprung a surprise by questioning the right of the attorney general to withdraw from the proceedings once begun without sufficient reason or unless It could be shown that the situation had been mis represented to him. It was this point that came up for argument yesterday. All the parties were in court when the case was called and Attorney McDonald moved for a dismissal on tha stipulation. He ar gued that the right of dismissal clearly rested with the attorney general. Attorney Bowe, for the relator, took the opposite view of the case and ask ed that the proceedings be continued. He thought that the attorney general had no right to dismiss the action with out sufficient cause, and Mr. Bowe sub mitted that the alleged fact of the re lator having been prompted by malice was puerile and childish. "The attorney general adimts," he said, "that every statement in the in formation was true, and that the law had been violated, and under these cir cumstances I think I am right in ask ing that this case go to trial." "I do not think that the attorney general has the right to dismiss the action without the consent of the court," said Judge Bunn at the con clusion of the argument." He has, however, the right to take cognizance of the comparatively unimportant character of the matter before the court. In this the public has at best but a slight Interest, and it appears that the relator is interested only as a citizen and taxpayer." "I shall consult with my client and consider whether to take an appeal or not," said Attorney Bowe yesterday. "I have not yet figured out how we stand,- but I must say I am disappoint ed at the outcome of the case." Tlie Great Family Pnnd.

O. S. Deringer and Former Corpora tion Attorney Edward J. Darragh call ed on Third Assistant Corporation At torney Hall yesterday morning and re quested that official to issue complaints and warrants against the keepers ol eleven disreputable resorts in the cen tral and business portion of the city, Mr. Hall, who acts as city prosecutor in the municipal court and who draws up complaints for violations of ordi nances and misdemeanors, refused to issue the complaints without first hav ing consulted Mr. Markham, the cor poration attorney and head of the l»eral department of the city. Messrs. Deringer and Darragh then called at Mr. Markham's office, and after laying their case before the offi cial were informed that complaints or warrants would net be issued as asked for. Mr. Deringer and his attorney then sought Judge Orr, and Corporation At torney Markham was called in. The corporation attorney was opposed to the issuance of the warrants. He want ed to summon some of the women to his onice, Mr. Deringer said after the conference, and tell them they would have to move. But the men bent on closing the places up wouldn't hear anything of the kind, and Judge Orr stood with them in their contention. He decided that the warrants should issue, but it was agreed that they should not be served until Monday. The eleven complaints were made out against the following women: Frankie Lewis, Lottie Schutte, Nettie Williard, May Burke, Mrs. Hughes, all of whom keep resorts on Third street; Mrs. Ollie Rice, of lower Sixth street; Nancy Cam eron, Ida King, Zoe Coleman, of St. Pe ter street, and Emma Brown, Ninth street. After Mr. Deringer and Attorney Dar ragh had succeeded in having the war rants issued they called on the mayor. Mr. Deringer's description of what took place there is interesting. They found the mayor in the outer office, and he told them to go ahead and state what they wanted to see him about. When Mr. Deringer began the mayor thought it was something perhaps to be heard in his inner room and he walked in. They followed. When they stepped in the mayor said: "Take off your hats, gentlemen." "W« always do," Mr. Deringer re plied. "Lay them on the table here," said the mayor, and he indicated the spot. The hats went there. Mr. Deringer then told the mayor that complaints had been made about the houses on St. Peter street, within a block of the As sumption church, and against Emma Brown's place, within sight of the cen tral high school, and they had decided to make a move to have them all put under the hill together. He told the mayor that while the warrant* were Is sued they did not want them served until Monday, and were willing that each woman should be allowed a rea sonable time to make arrangements for finding' new locations. The mayor ask ed Mr. Darragh If he had anything to «ay, and h« replied that Mr. Deringer had said it all. Then they rose to go and the mayor, who didn't 6eem overpleased with the move, said he knew hia business, which ended the Interviews Mr. Deringer said last evening: "I have couitsmpl»t«a this action for some time, and na.T« concluded not to longer d« l*y it. ProfeWbly it -wrttl b* «vid that I am merely ewkin* to discredit th* mayor' 6 ad ministration*. SuA la not my intention. I b« liere that the tujslne*! peapje and dlrureh peo pl« are thoroUKijT in earnest In desiring the euppreaston! of u\ places 'abova the hill.' Personally I shall oofttinue my efforts In thi« direction 1111411 they er« successful, a.nd If the first vrarrarvta do .not «erve to close the plac« I wili apply for new ones day altar day until they ar# forced to close. By a word th« mayor can cause them, to ceas* to exist." He said all these women were on the court's records as paying fines, and that those records were all that is nec essary for conviction* If the cases go to a trial. Are yon one of those people who never act upon suggestions that others have found firofltable? If so, try Apple Blossom Flour and titan try an* get along with some other now. ! SOCIETY'S NEW YEAR.
