Herman Gherke, a farmer residing near St. Paul, whose story of k West erfleld onion which did not grow right, brought tears to the eyes of Justice Hoff, and who complained that his car rots grew too big to put in a bushel basket, has lost his suit against the Smith Fruit company. Justice Hoff yesterday entered his decree. He held that the carrots and onions had noth ing to do with the present action, and with more than Solomonesque judg ment, divided the case in half by hold ing that the Smith Fruit company should get nothing for counter claim. 1 \ SUNDAY SCHOOL MUST HUSTLE MARION LAWRENCE ADDRESSES RAMSEY COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS GIVES THE MEMBERS SOME TERSE ADVICE Says That the Present Method Is All Milk and Water, and Declares That Theological Seminaries Should Em brace Sunday School Teachers' Chair and Grant Diplomas. "It is my firm belief that every theo logical seminary in the land will soon embrace in its faculty a distinct Sun day school teachers' chair. Then, as it should be now, the degree S. S. T. will carry with it as much dignity as a T>. D. When that time comes the Sunday school will be a factor in church work." In a heart-td-heart talk with., the members of the Ramsey County Sun day School Teachers' association, at the House"-of Hope church, last night, Marion Lawrence, of Toledo,' Ohio, whose fame as a Sunday school work er is national, told them that if the Sunday schools of the United States are to prosper the teachers must be provided with diplomas and the schools organized on a business basis. - Sunday School Must Go After Business "The present method of conducting Sunday schools," said Mr. Lawrence, spiritedly, "will never accomplish any thing. It is all milk and water. Like a bank or any other institution, the Sun- SOCIETY FUNCTION Temple Is Beautified for Lbe ChariLy Ball and Success Is Sure. i i , ■ D. R. NOYES. Masonic temple has for several days been in the hands of decorators and carpenters -and is now ready for the charity ball tonight, or at least nearly so, for all except a few details, which will be completed this morning, was in readiness last night. The five new boxes which have been temporarily erected add greatly to the attractive ness of the hall. There are now thir teen boxes in all, and these, filled with parties of handsomely gowned women, will be one of the most brilliant fea tures of the ball. The main hall and the blue room" will be used for dancing and Danz's r orchestra, stationed behind a screen of palms on a platform erected at the day school must go after business, and it must be equipped with trained work men to get and handle that business. It is xthe teachers you wa,nt, and that is why I predict the time will come when the position will be sought, and it will only be given when the appli cant has evidenced his or her ability to fill it. Then the Sunday school will be on a par with your public schools and will be graded and officered in the same manner. Then missions and money, which are synonymous in the present lay mind, will be removed arid the Sunday school will become a saver of souls and an educator of the masses. Save the Boys and Girls. "In the youth of a nation centers its stability, and for this reason," Mr. Lawrence said, "I am a stanch believ er in Sunday school work.

Marion Lawrence Pays Tribute to His Increasing Piety. "The worfd has given traveling men a bad name, but I do not think you can find a more clean minded, or a purer hearted body of men in the world than the traveling men who travel for re "putable business houses," said Marion Lawrence, of/TToledo, Ohio, the noted Sunday school worker, speaking- yes terday afternoon before the Ramsey County Sunday School association. Mr. Lawrence explained the aim of the organization, known as the Band of Gideon, which is made up of Chris tian traveling men, and it was in con nection with this explanation that he paid the tribute to the traveling men as a class. "It is no uncommon sight now," said Mr. Lawrence, "to see a traveling men open his Bible on the* train and an ever increasing number of them are wearing the Gideon pin." Mr. Lawrence, who is considered one of the most prominent Sunday school workers in this country is a- man of remarkably fine presence and good ad dress. He conducted a symposium yesterday afternoon before the associa tion on "The Sunday School Teacher." Mr. Lawrence named the following as being the most desirable qualifications for such work: Consecration, knowl edge of the Bible, knowledge of the child, ability to bring outthe-spiritual meaning of the lesson, tact, love, pray er and faithfulness in applying truth to individual pupils. About one hundred men and women attended the opening session of the Ramsey County Sunday School asso ciation yesterday afternoon at the House of Hope church. The associa tion was organized but a short time ago, and tlje jjnterest that has already been evinced' in its work, as well as the attendance yesterday, shotws the need of such an organization. Rev. Huston Taylor, assistant pastor of the House Of Hope church, presided at the devotional exercises. After that Rev. A. Jj'Oi:Haupt, of the Memorial Lutheran efaunch, took charge. During the session*:- of the Primary Teachers' union, Mrs. G. A. Hunt, of McAllister, gave a model lesson. Miss Louise Emory, of St. Paul, conducted the nopmal lesson. • The afternoon session ended with the symposium conducted by Mr. Lawrence. The women of the House of Hope church served supper in the church. CHARGEDvW.ITH STEALING $300 WORTH OF TABLEWARE' Three Men Are Held in the Sum of $1,000 Each. John Foley, Dan Foley, Paul Salvus and John Cleary were arraigned in the municipal court yesterday on a charge of stealing $300 worth of tableware from a Great Northern dining- car. The men, excepting Cleary, who was dis charged, entered pleas of not guilty, and their cases were cojitinued until Dec. 2. A bond of $1,000 "was required. The offense was committed Sept. 24. HALF A CENTURY ON THE STAGE J. H. STODDART, THE VETERAN ACTOR, RELATES SOME INTER ESTING REMINISCENCES HOS TROD THE BOARDS FOR FIFTY-FOUR YEARS Made His Debut at the Early Age of Five Years in Glasgow—Says His Highest Ideal of Life Is Stock Farm ing—Enjoyed Personal Acquain tance With Horace Greeiey. "A simple man, perhaps. But good as gold and true as steel." —Eugene Fteld. J. H. Stoddart is at the Metropoli tan! For forty years Mr. Stoddart has been actively before the eyes of the American public. For fifty years he has trod the boards almost unceasing ly. He is one of the oldest actors on the American boards today. Yesterday afternoon, in his parlors at the Ryan, Mr. Stoddart received a Globe representative in a homelike, unassuming manner. One look into the kindly eye, one grasp of the warm, firm hand is sufficient to convince the most skeptical of the sincerity of J. H. Stoddart. "Yes," he said, "I suppose that, con sidering the-long and arduous" nature of my life's work, I am the oldest ac tor on the American stage today. For forty years I have ministered to the wants of fun and tragedy-loving pub lic of New York city and taken thou- DUE TONIGHT '-: - - . ■'- ' " - fl - ■'" "Z : "'- . T. L.

Altogether the 1902 charity ball will probably exceed in social splendor and financial success the twenty-six char ity balls which have gone before, and it is not possible to give too much credit for this success to the tireless energy with which Theodore L. Schur meier, the chairman of the manage ment committee, and his fellow com mitteemen, Charles L. Greene, Rich ards Gordon,. William H. Lightner, Daniel R. Noyes, Hiram F. Stevens and other men and women who have, work ed to make this the most brilliant char ity ball ever given in St. PauL sands of leading roles, to say nothing of the minor ones." "And during all that long time, did you never become tired of the stage and its eternal grind?" Stock Farming His Ideal. "Oh, indeed, yes! For my part, the highest ideal of life that I can imagine is that of stock farming. In fact, some years ago, I purchased a farm near Sewarren, N. J., but I found to my sor row that such an enterprise for one used only to the stage, is built rather on the plan of getting away with the money than for securing it. How old am I? Well, sir, on the 15th day of last month I was seventy-five years of age. Old enough to vote, eh? Tes, yes! It's a long time ago, is it not? I was born in Barnsley, York state— though quite by accident, I assure you. You see, my father was an ac tor, too, and in touring through the Eastern state I first saw the light of day in that then little town in New York. "It is not doing justice to my pub lishers for me to thus tell you of my life for publication. What! you did not know that I some short time ago Issued the story of my life in brochure form? Well, well! Yes, indeed, and I'm rather proud of it —it being the first literary work of my life. It is en titled, "A Player's Recollections." The , Century people brought it out for me, and my best friends —I imagine they're my best ones—tell me that it's really good. "Yes, yes, the many people I have been associated with who climbed high on Parnassus—hardly one of them left! Keene, Kemble, Forrest, the Booths —all gone! Made His Debut at Age of Five. "l made my debut," he said in answer to a query, "in Glasgow, Scotland, at the age of five years. What was the part! I do not recollect —think —that was seventy years ago! What is the part, of all the many I have taken, that pleased me best of allt Now let' me see. Oh, I have played so many:— there are so many that I have totally forgotten. Well, the one that made my first great mark for me, the one that brought me most fully Into public favor, was many years ago in New York, in a piece called "The Long: Strike," and the part was Moneypenny. It was a kind of character I have al ways liked—that of an irritable old lawyer, outwardly crusty to all alike— but underneath it all a wonderful wealth of tenderness and love, only re vealed under the most stressful cir cumstances. "Ah, yes, there is something I,can tell you that will interest you as a newspaper man.

MERRY MOURNERS GO WEST Chinese Escort on the Way to Canton With Body of Wong Han Lee. The Soo coast train carried a merry party of mourners bound from Chicago to Canton, China yesterday morning. In the express car was a huge sar cophagus hermetically sealed. The in- ner case of lead, the second of teak and the third looks like a survival of the age of the Ptolemies, being large enough to hold a baby elephant and carved in ornate designs of dragons, gods and hobgoblins. The occupant of this mediaeval cas ket is the late Wong Han Lee, of Chi cago, erstwhile laundrymsji and lat terly silk merchant, who died in the Windy City on Nov. 10. Wong Lee is said to have been one of the wealthiest Chinamen in the middle West. The coffin in which he is making his last voyage was imported _by him from China fifteen years ago, and it Is de clared to have cost $4,000, laid down In the Chicago emporium of its owner. Accompanying the remains are Hop Lee, John Ah Fung and Haang Lung, the former a brother, and the others was buried as though it were yesterday —all New York was as though some fearful calamity had -overtaken the place. And there had —but it was as though some fearful plague had fallen from the skies. Every store and sa loon in the city was closed tight—an air of general desolation over all. Never Desired to Star. "No, I never had any desire to fea ture myself. Friends and managers of ten came to me and asked me about it, but I was satisfied to remain in the metropolis and be near my little coun try place that I love so well. And then my wife's death about ten years ago, after forty years of the happiest mar ried life possible, broke me all up; and it was several years before I could apply myself to work with anything like the oldtime vigor. Anyway I was never one who ached after the lucre — all I wanted, ever, was a good time with my folks and a comrortable' liv ing. And surely the desire of my heart has been fulfilled! "About my wife? Her name was Matilda Phillips—she was the singing lady in the stock company at Wal lack's when I joined In '54. We were married the second season. Likes His Present Role Best. "How do I like my present role? It's one of the finest I-ever had. Perhaps I an a little prejudfeed, perhaps I think a lot of it because I am really a Scotchman and the play and its author are both intensely Scotch. A great many people, who have taken a dislike to the book on account of Its ponderous dialect, are fearful about going to see the play, thinking they- would not be able to understand it. I knew of the American antipathy to the dialect part, and I have eliminated It to no incon siderable extent." When the reporter arose to go the venerable actor arose with as sprightly an air as though he were living again "the brave days when I was twenty one." "Goodby, young man, goodby. I hope to see you again some time; but if I do not my wcrst wish for you is that you will live to be as old as I and be a James Gordon Bennett. Yes, sir, goodby." A wonderful man is J. H. Stoddart He is not only a great actor, but he Is a philosopher—he has^earned the les son of life. Surely, 'at some time, he must have climbed Parnassus and snatched from the altar of the gods a ••!' ni-of the Promethean fire; and he did not linger by the wayside nor let it grow cold; but with the sacred flame he kindles the earthly altars of the sons of men to gladden their hearts, and make them better for having known him. Is Sent to Rochester. Miss Estelle Youngr, formerly a school teacher, was yesterday committed to the Rochester hospital for the Insane by the probate court. She Id but twen ty-one years old, and has taught school at St. Anthony Park for some time. Last spring had an attack of In sanity, which has become constantly worse.
