He will find that successful bluffing has been a lost art in politics since the days of his proto type, Jim Blame, of reciprocity fame. SCHOOL FINANCES. The present situation of the finances of the school department of the city of St. Paul is the ultimate outcome of a state of things which has brought the utmost discredit upon the commu nity and the utmost inconvenience, even injustice, upon the teaching staff of our city schools. It is purely of of ficial creation. There is no substantive reason why the present embarrassment should prevail. The people have fairly lavished upon their public schools the fruits of the public burdens imposed upon them. State and municipality alike have borne the burdens willingly whicn ought .to have secured to every child of d resident of St. Paul the most ample facilities for public education, extending from kindergarten to high school. That such a result has not en sued is not due to official malversation nor to official neglect, but to sheer of ficial blundering and ineptitude. JThe evils attendant upon a muddled financial system have been intensified in the past by an arrogant, bull-head ed administration of the city finances. The moneys which were designed and appropriated for the construction o additional school facilities are at this late hour found to be inadequate to the purpose, and a deficit is shown to exist in the receipts of the school de partment. Mr. Holman signalized his reappear ance in public office by presenting an admirable plan for the reorganization r-f the department's finances. It is nn unpleasant on-i to <■■ >•■ '"•■»"■>. It is unavoidable. If pursued intelli- in putting an end to the almost dis graceful tangle which has prevailed in city school matters for many years . past It involves, of course, what may prove to be the indefinite deference of the work of providing needed school facilities; but even that disadvantage, grave as it is, will be more than com pensated for by the reflection that in the future the department will at least know where it is at. The thanks of the • community are due to the board for having preserved the fruits of the advancement that has been made in the past in the promotion of mechanical training. Mr. Holman was thoroughly convinced in his view that the most radical economies were necessary in that form of educational training, and no doubt he was right, but no deficits, however great, in the de partment's funds would seem to Th c Globe to justify the adoption of the policy suggested by him with refer ence to manual training. That depart ment of city instruction is one which has greatly endeared Itself to the people and is almost indispensable to the equipment of the average boy for the work of the world. V • No doubt when the beginning of the fiscal year of the department is made to correspond with- that of the city's, future misunderstandings will , be avoided, and the evils which -found their inception in the shameful policy of constituting the school board an in dependent corporate entity will have been brought to a close. The man who had a vision that he was due to save Chicago must be a firm believer in visions to have given any lodgment whatever to the thought, even for a second. r " CATHOLIC SUMMER SCHOOL. An interesting phase of educational activity finds expression through the Catholic summer school, which opened its session last evening at the state capitol. -- The Catholic summer school is not exclusively a .scholastic movement. It is designed to promote the educational interests of persons of - the Catholic faith, while at the same time offering an opportunity for summer enjoyment and relaxation. The movement, of the Catholic summer school is of recent origin. It is a limited expression of the disposition prevailing among the Catholic people for closer relations and for co-operation among the Catholic people throughout the various sections of the country for the promotion of the Catholic religion. The movement, as we say, is in its beginning, but in the light of the marked tendency among all classes of Americans identified in thought or action to come together, there is little doubt that within a few years the Catholic summer school movement will have reached extended proportions. Movements of this general charac ter may be said to have found their inception in the Chautauqua organi zation. As long ago as fifteen years the Chautauqua society assembled at Mahtomedi in fulfillment of a purpose essentially the same as that which an imates the movement for Catholic summer schools, and then and since has enjoyed at intervals the, high priv ilege of listening to men highly distin guished in the several walks of life, in cluding the Rev. Washington Gladden and others, like him, identified with the moral, ethical and religious devel opment of society. There is no city in the country, as Mayor Smith indicates in his address of welcome, in which the representa tives of the Catholic summer school could expect to receive a more cordial welcome than in the city of St. Paul. St. Paul had its beginning under Cath-. olic auspices. From - the day when there was established on Second street a rude hut under Catholic auspices, consecrated to Catholic worship, to the present hour, Catholic advancement in this community has kept pace with urban development, and the Catholic religion, like the city of St. Paul, from rude and apparently hopeless begin nings has in the Northwest developed into magnificent proportions of public and private usefulness. Every citizen of St. Paul, and espe cially those of them professing attach ment to the Catholic faith, is called upon to promote the comfort and en joyment of the ladies and gentlemen in attendance at the Catholic summer school. They come, here for all prac tical purposes to spend their vacation, and they will find here conditions which are in the highest degree pro motive of the best activities of mod ern society. There are here the am plest opportunities for their enjoyment in every direction. A stranger in any community is al ways at a disadvantage. The ladies and gentlemen of the Catholic summer school coming from other communi ties should not be permitted .to realize at any time during their stay in St. Paul that they are strdTigers here. Their stay should be made as pleasant as possible, and if the Catholic people of the community, aside from all other classes of society, will do anything like what they can do to promote the success of the Catholic summer school, the result will be one promotive both of the enjoyment of our visitors and the good name of our city. With Botha, Dewet and Delarey on American public platforms, what a demonstration would follow of the con tinued devotion of the American peo ple to their ideals of freedom, despite the naked cowardliness of their repre sentatives at Washington throughout the South African war. The story of the wife of that profes sor at South Bend, Ind., would seem originally to have shown nothing con cerning her character worse than that she was simply a fool. Later develop ments seem to indicate that she is too dangerous a fool to have at large. The surcharged electric wire is a great institution. So is the street car concern. By the time a dozen or bo of our people have passed the great di vide by the live wire route, no doubt some municipal official will look into the subject. ' - - It may be that the little tale about Jack and Jill bears some relation to Joseph Chamberlain, his broken crown and the colonial premiers. Jill, in the form of that colonial-customs union, is due to make her appearance before long. If the method of removing aldermen which seems in vogue these days in San Francisco came into more general adoption it might prove unpleasant for the aldermen, but it would, no doubt, have its compensation for the general public. Until the insistehce of Hamline on the establishment of a park the be lief was universal that the entire coun try thereabouts was a park; but. our fondest delusions are thus ever in dan ger of being crushed out of existence.'. Even in the matter of cloudbursts and tornadoes the West sets the pace, and the euete East comes in always a bad second; but it never fails to come in, much to the disgust of its weather sharps.

BIG RAISE IN VALUES CITY'S TAXABLE PROPERTY SHOWS AN INCREASE OF $4,000,000 THIS YEAR FIGURES OF ASSESSOR VERY SATISFACTORY Inflated Values Punctured Over Million Dollars, But This Is Offset by 10 Per Cent Increase on New Buildings and Improvements— Valua tion $74,000,000. St. Paul will have almost $4,000,000 of additional taxable property this year from which to draw a revenue for the conduct of its municipal af fairs and the other burdens which the taxing power has seen fit to inflict. And all this is in the face of the 10 per cent cut which the state board so arbitrarily imposed a year ago. County Assessor Conley yesterday completed the compilation of the re turns which his deputies have been so industriously securing the past two months, and the results are decidedly satisfactory. Of real estate and im provements in St. Paul the total valu ation figured $73,777,125, an increase of $2,902,126 over the valuation of 1900. In the county proper, the vil lages showed taxable property to the value of $905,799, and the townships $2,331,921. The grand total of real estate improvements for both city and county is $77,938,400. In computing the value of unimprov ed real estate Mr. Conley considerably punctured the inflated values that have been imposed on outlaying holdings, by dropping the previous figures over $1,000,000. This, however, was consid erably offset by the addition of 10 per cent to the value of new buildings and the many improvements that have been made since the last assessment was taken. In the matter of personal property the compilation has not advanced far enough to give exact figures, but the advance over the returns of 1900 will be fully $1,000,000, making a total in crease in the taxable property of St. Paul of nearly $4,000,000. The entire value of personal property figures about $15,000,0,00. COMMITTEE LIKELY TO UPHOLD GEDNEY Investigation Is Completed, Greatly ta the Relief of Assemblymen Con ducting It. The assembly subcommittee on streets completed its investigation of the alleged violation of the employ ment provision of the Gedney Pickling company's West side levee lease yes terday afternoon. No decision was reached, but this will be formulated later in the shape of a report which the committee will present at the next meeting of the regular body. As requested on the day previous, C. R. Gedney, the manager of the com pany, presented his pay rolls for the past twelve months and also verbally attested to their authenticity. Correct ly interpreted the pay rolls did not show the constant employment of fif teen men, as demanded by the lease, but by permitting the use of the word average and bunching the number of days worked by all the persons em ployed during the year the difficulty was abridged. This scheme was vigor ously advocated by Assemblyman Ar nold, and finally accepted by the other members. The ordinance authorizing the lease speaks of the employment of men only, but on the pay roll were the names of two women. Mr. Arnold was of the opinion that rightfully in terpreted the ordinance meant persons. He did not think it was the intention to discriminate between the sexes. Of those employed constantly eight were given as salesmen and office employes, one a teamster and one a manager, Mr. Gedney himself. Others employed were by the day, their number varying with the state of businss. Health Commissioner Ohage was in attendance, but he took little part in the investigation except to introduce Ambrose Young and F. C. Pendergast, who testified to having visited the Gedney plant, and while incidentally asking for employment, succeeded in securing from the foreman a statement of the number of persons employed at this time. According to the informa tion secured by these two men the number of employes consisted of three men and two women. Assemblyman Arnold started to vigorously cross-ex amine the two men, and Mr. Gedney entered a protest on the ground that the information was surreptitiously se cured, but both were quieted by Chair man Schurmeier, who informed them that the statements of the two men were substantiated by the pay rolls of that date. This concluded the investi gation and the members agreed to ad- I TMM£ZSm®®fi *YZfmW& JSa\P Mj^lilj JURY \ ', (j/-iAf?&j fo/fJALE.)

Dr. Ohage said he was satisfied .with the examin ation.

He said he looked upon the whole thing as a victory for himself. LUTHER LEAGUERS OPEN CONVENTION Over Two Hundred Delegates Attend First Session— Gov. Van Sant Speaks. With fully 200 delegates present the fifth annual convention of the Luther League of America was formally open ed at the First Swedish church, corner of Woodward avenue and John street, last evening, the commencement of a three days' session. The large audi torium of the church was crowded to its utmost capacity, over 1,000 people outside of th* delegates being present. An interesting feature of the pro gramme was the address of welcome by Gov. Van Sant. The governor was tardy in arriving, owing to another engagement, which he nicely explained in his speech, but when he did arrive his greeting was none the less pleasurable, and a hearty round Oi. applause burst forth from all parts of the church when he ascended the rostrum. / .: Rev. L. A. Johnson, pastor of the First Swedish church, and Nels Jensen, president of the Twin City Luther League made short addresses of wel come, which were responded to by Wil liam C. Stoever, of Philadelphia,.presi dent of the Luther League of America. The remainder of the service consisted of song and prayer, at the close of which an hour was devoted to a recep tion of the delegates and social past time.' •'» '• »■ - ■ -.: ' pv. Gov. Van Sant announced at the outset that he had been doing little else for the past few days than deliv ering addresses of welcome, and that he might get a little short of "welcomes," so that the delegates would know what to attribute it to if he was not as warm in his greetings as they thought he should- be. But he welcomed them, nevertheless, he said, and he hoped that they would go away with a good opin ion of Minnesota, for he was sure the state was deserving of it. There were no doubt, delegates there from New England, he said, ana he knew that New Englanders were gen erally pretty proud, but it was never theless a fact that New England was pretty small compared with Minnesota. Those few little states could lost in a big state like Minnesota, he said, and it might be quite difficult to find them. But bier as the state was, he was sure that the delegates were welcome to the best there was going. Dr. Johnson, pastor of the First Swed ish church, welcomed the delegates in the name of the oldest Lutheran church in St. Paul. He said that the gates and homes of the city were open to the delegates of the Luther league, and that they were royally welcome welcome to the church and welcome* to the city. They came as the army of the Lord, he said, and he hoped that they would accomplish much good for the cause. y 7' 7 It was necessary that they be organ ized if they were to accomplish the work that they had set out to do. Or ganization was necessary, no matter in what form. It was Illustrated in busi ness and in politics, and there must be organization in the church. W. C. Stoever, president of the Luth er League of America, delivered the re sponse on behalf of the visiting dele gates, and said that he had a taste of Minnesota hospitality before and that he knew what to look for. He also knew that the governor's remarks re garding the largeness of the state were perfectly true, for he got lost in the tail timber when he was here in his early years. The West was greater than the East he said, and in time it would be greater still. The league holds a morning and aft ernoon session today at Memorial Evangelist Lutheran church, and to night there will be services held in St. Matthew's church and Emanuel Nor wegian churches as well. 7, Tomorrow night there will be a big rally at the Auditorium. Blast Played Havoc. While blasting rock in the sewer work being done on Tuscarora avenue yester day morning, a large, stone was shot high into the air. It Janded on the rear por tion of the roof of 537 Tuscarora avenue and crashed through* into a bedroom onto a bed. None of the family was in that portion of the house at the time and no person was injured. The damage to -the roof was considerable, as nearly one entire side was caved in. Charged with Larceny. Edward O'Toole was last night arrested by Detectives Daly ana Sweeney, charged with grand larceny.. O'Toole is said to have stolen a quantity/of carpenters' tools from Christian's shop, at Sixth and Sum mit. The theft was committed some time between Saturday night and Monday morning. Detective Lavalle discovered a number of the tools in a second-hand store and O'Toole was identified as the man who sold them. The tools consisted WHAT MAY COME TO PASS* c "L^""" 3, J?}S. nes and hammers to the value ot *30 \ ? Toole was in a fractious mood when locked up last nierht and evidently appreciated the similitude of" his name and the articles which he was accused of having stolen. AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE. •Romeo and Juliet" will be given at the Grand opera house this afternoon and this evening. It will also be given at the Saturday matinee. Miss Has well's performance as Juliet has re ceived the highest possible praise, and it is generally conceded that the pro duction of Shakespeare's classic love story is superior in every way to the average stock company production. "Camille" will be given by Miss Haswell for the first time tomorrow evening, and will be the bill Friday and ' Saturday evenings also at the Grand. Miss Haswell gives this In re sponse to numerous requests. Miss Haswell. is said to play "Camille" in an effective manner. Frank Gillmore will be the Armand Duvall. Sunday evening at the Grand the summer engagement of the Frawley company will commence. Miss Mary Van Buren, the leading woman of the Frawley company, will be seen in the title role of "Madame Sans Gene," the drama of the French revolution, by Victorien Sardou. The play is a vivid and intensely interesting i comedy of the time of Napoleon. "Madame Sans- Gene," when translated, means "Mad ame Don't-Care," this being the de scriptive allegation bestowed upon the sprightly heroine, who does things in her own way, in spite of Napoleon. Colored Republicans Indifferent. The State . Afro-American Republican League met at Masonic hall yesterday afternoon. About 100 delegates were in attendance and the meeting was more of a jollification gathering than anything else. None of the Republican state nom inees was Indorsed and there seemed to be a slight difference of opinion among those present as to the advisability of supporting the Republican ticket this fall. A.

PAUL Mrs. Ruffin, of Boston, and Mrs. Yates, President of the National Federation, Speak Earnestly of Their Efforts to Help Their People to Make Progress. Mrs. Josephine St." Pierre Ruffin, of Boston, believes the members of the Adelphi colored club were quite justi fied in the recent effort they made to gain admittance to the Minnsota State Federation of Women's Clubs. Be yond this expression of her approval of the action of her sister club women, Mrs. Rufflh had little to say yesterday in regard to the color question as it affects the white club women. With Mrs. Salome Yates, president of the National Federation of Colored Wom en; Mrs. Fannie Williams, of Chicago, and Mrs. Ida Barnett-Wells, of Chi cago, Mrs. Ruffin was the guest of honor yesterday afternoon at a recep tion given by the Adelphi club at the residence of Mrs. W. G. Francis on St. Anthony avenue. .. . Notably handsome is this woman, who was made famous by the action of the General Federation of Women's Clubs in refusing to accept her cre dentials at the biennial of that federa tion in Milwaukee,. because she was colored. Mrs. Ruffin is very light for a colored woman. Her hair is gray and she wears It in a high pompadour. Her eyes are large, very dark and very bright. She is well educated, a bright and fluent speaker and she possesses magnetism. "I want the people of my race to progress," she said yesterday. "And I think they are justified in embracing every opportunity that is offered them or that lies in their way. When a col ored woman is morally and mentally the equal of a white woman she stands on the same plane with that whit* woman." . • Mrs. Yates, the president of the Col ored Women's Federation, is a differ ent type from Mrs. Ruffin, but she is equally interesting in her way and has the interest of her people close to heart. Mrs. Ruffin and Mrs. Yates are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Mc- Ghee, of University avenue. \ SOCIAL. Prof. George N.
