6 NEWS OF THE CITY SKELETON RATTLES BONES AT LINCOLN CLUB FEAST Dunn-Collins Feud Refuses to Down and Orators Touch Upon the Results of Late Campaign—Frank (Nye of Minneapolis Takes Place of Gov. A. B. Cum mins of fowa, the Scheduled Speaker of the Even ing, Who Is Compelled by Illness to Cancel Date We cannot point with pride to the fact that we live in a Re publican city, with a Democratic administration, nor to the fact that we live in a Republican state, with a Democratic gov ernor at the head of it.—Presi dent Arthur W. Lyman, of the Lincoln club. Party lines give way, even in this day, for the man who stands for what is right. — Frank M. Nye, orator at the Lincoln club's anniversary banquet. Tlie memory of it rankles yet. Even at a time when men are com monly supposed to be at peace with the world, it comes back to them. The Lincoln club, having eaten at a well laden board, -having sipped a seductive punch and enjoyed fragrant cigars was thought to have forgotten all about the split in the Republican party ranks that contributed to the success of a Democratic candidate for governor. But President Arthur W. Lyman brought forth the skeleton and rattled the bones at the banquet. Frank M. Nye, the orator o^the night, one of the Minneapolis Republicans who refused to take the stump for the Republican candidate for governor in the recent campaign, pulled further the winding sheet that so badly concealed the grin ning skull pushed into the white light by the club's president. At the Lincoln club's annual ban quet last night Mr. Lyman dwelt on the honorable career of the Lincoln club. He told of its mission, that its chief object was to promote the prin ciples and success of the Republican party. "Tnriualified loyalty to the Repub lican party is the watchword and the essential qualification of membership," he said, and then he lighted the fuse. "We point with pride to our member^ ship, but there are some things to which we cannot point with pride.

"In all due respect to the man who is at the head of our state affairs, whom I believe to be a refined, honorable gentleman, the Lincoln club goes on record as saying that it does not want this to occur again. It is not due to a lack of Republicans, but due to a lack of Republican harmony. With Lincoln, McKinley and Roosevelt clubs all working to the end of the success of the Republican party, there should be such an inspiration and such a spirit that will dissipate any fear of a future defeat % of the Republican party." It was some time before Mr. Nye found the opportunity to make reply. But during the course of his oration he flung back the Insinuation, for he said very clearly and very distinctly that "party lines give way, even m this day, for the man who stands for what is right." No man familiar with the recent state campaign, and of the part played in it by Mr. Nye in common with so many of the most prominent Repub licans of Hennepin county and the state at large, doubted for a moment the full significance of the passage at arms between the president of the club and its guest of honor. At the Banquet Board Three hundred and fifty St. Paul Re publicans, guests of the Lincoln club, sat about tables that completely filled the general dining room of the Hotel Ryan last night. The occasion was the eleventh an nual Lincoln's Birthday banquet of the St. Paul Lincoln club. Members of the club said that it was the largest and most successful banquet in the club's history. Frank M. Nye, of Minneapolis, was the orator of the banquet^_and he delivered a masterly tribute to the life and deeds of the Great Emancipator. Mr. Nye had been secured to take the place of Gov. Albert B. Cummins, of lowa, who had been detained at Dcs Moines by a.severe illness. A telegram of regret was read from Gov. Cummins, and Senator Moses E. Clapp telegraph ed from Washington his regrets. Mor- THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1905 ton Barrows was toastmaster and in troduced the men who responded to the sentiments proposed. The dining room was fragrant with flowers and was brilliantly lighted. A great painting of Lincoln almost filled one end of the room, being flanked by portraits of Roosevelt and Fairbanks. American flags hung from chandeliers, and from the balcony, where an orches tra was stationed, a huge American flag fell away in graceful folds. A reception preceded the banquet. It was hel3 in the parlors of the hotel, where the guests were presented to a committee headed by Senator Hiler H. Horton. Receiving with him were some thirty or more prominent members of the club. The dinner was served at 8 o'clock. At the center of the table at the south. President Arthur W. Lyman presided. At his right sat Mr. Nye, at his left the toastmaster, and near him were a number of national, state and county officials. John Peterson, col lector of customs; E. T. Young, attor ney general; Julius H. Block, state treasurer; Hugh Halbert, president of the Roosevelt club; Judge Oscar Hal lani, of the district court, and a number of others prominent in political life were ranged about the toastmaster. Telegrams Are Read It was nearly 10 o'clock when the speech-making period in the banquet was reached. When Mr. Lyman had welcomed the guests, he introduced Toastmaster Barrows. Mr. Barrows read telegrams from Gov. Cummins and Senator Clapp. That from the. lowa governor said that he" had been ill for some days, but he had deferred to the last moment sending his final decision not to appear, in the hope of being able to keep his engagement. Senator Clapp congratulated the club as a club and the party at large on "its splendid achievements, its present at titude on public questions and its prob able long continued service to the na tion." Mr. Nye said: It is an honor to be railed by the Lin coln chib to offer a few .observation? con cerning the life and character of tlie man whose spirit and life are a motto not alone of a political party, but of every true American citizen. Above the strife and the struggle of a selfish commercial life there ever arises the pure face of patriotism calling us back to the source of patriotism and the spirit of all pa triotism. Men are prone to complain at obstacles in the path of our fraternal spirit, yet when you touch the fountains of the heart of the American people you find it still right. Less than a week since President Roosevelt declared that this government is for the poor man as well as the rich man. And there went up- a universal- applause from the hearts of men. Party lines give way for a man who stands for the right. » West Lincoln's Jury Abraham Lincoln was tried before a jury of plain, common, every day men in the Western country. There was some thing in the sound practical judgment of those men that entered into the life of Lincoln. They were the Jury trying this man at the very outset ofr his political career, who made it when it was not. They sent Douglas to the senate in 1858. but they sent Lincoln to the White house in 1860. We meet not to honor him alone, but the backbone of the republic who gave to him strength, dignity and power, and that will sustain the republic to the end of time. Abraham Lincoln was endowed at -birth by great wealth. Not a wealth that can be corrupted, but a wealth in character, in heart, in clear mind and a healthy body that enabled him to lay the founda tions of a political organization that will endure. I trust, through all the ages to come. It is time to study back of the mere vestments that actuate national life. The substance of all things enduring is that which is unseen. What is this republic? Is it wealth, warships, sixteen-inch gun* or bursting treasuries? Is It mere population? It Ir the immortal principles that can not be seen and computed by the senses. Back of. all this is the spirit- The re public today is the fruit of all the rich and wondrous past; it is what every hero, every artist, every true philosopher, has put into that which is best, purest and noblest until it has come down to us to day. Hallowed on every battlefield, it comes to us l n the fragrance of the lives and memories of the great of this coun try and of every country since the dawn of civilization. God and morality made Lincoln the giant of history and his party Immortal, 1 hope, for all time to come. A brave man dared the currents of pop ular opinion to say that the country should be a free land and no slave should suffer under the lash of human owner ship. The real conflict was a moral con flict, and it rendered the physical conflict on the field of battle possible. Here is the mighty power of this nation. Inspiration to the Young It is an inspiration to the young to know that the qualities-that made Lincoln invincible are powers that all may pos sess. He did not possess the talents that mark true genius, but only the qualities of heart and mind that lay at the base of- this great republic. The God he wor shiped was the God of eternal right and Justice. To be right with Him settled everything and settled it for all time. He believed that a pure heart and the law of gravitation were from the same great mind. He felt, as a lawyer, that the law commands what is right and prohib its what is wrong. What we need as a people to do is to study this man and look on the force of his sturdy, honest character. He stands not as an example of national brotherhood alone, but of a universal brotherhood. He stands for a time when this nation shall be the example and pat tern of all nations. High in the dome as the savior of his country, he Is a prophecy of a time when this nation shall be tho savior of all nations. He is the sweetest and purest memory of the new world. Others who spoke briefly at the ban quet were Senator Henry A. Morgan, of Albert Lea, who responded facetious ly to the toast, the 'New Code," L. C. Hoffman, who toasted "Our Country," and George Drake Smith, who spoke of the "Future of Minnesota." Repre sentative W. I. Nolan, of Minneapolis, enlivened the occasion with a number of good stories well told. BID FOR CITY REPORT PRINTING APPROVED Committee Becomes Reconciled to In crease of Price At a meeting of the aldermanic com mittee on printing yesterday afternoon for the consideration of the bid of the Review Publishing company for print ing the annual report of the c-lty offi cers for $3.50 a page, a favorable re port will be returned to the board of aldermen. The assembly at their last meeting passed a resolution accepting the bid of the Review Publishing company in spite of the fact that it was 25 cents a page in excess of last year. When the matter came up before the aldermen it was referred to the printing committee for investigation. The bid submitted by the above company was the lowest one received. The committee on streets, which had a meeting scheduled for yesterday, to consider the contracts for supplies needed by the commissioner of public works, and also a safety elevator de vice, were unable to transact business owing to the absence of a quorum. Officers Ordered East Capt. A. M. Edwards and Lieut. A. H. Bryant have been ordered to New York. Capt. Edwards will take a new station and Lieut. Bryant will go up for examination for detail to the ord nance department for a four-year per iod. PROVERB CONTEST STARTS TOMORROW First of the Series of Pictures Will Be Printed Wednes day Morning Upon page 2 of The Globe to morrow will appear the first of the series of fifty proverb pictures, which will constitute The Globe's grea\. proverb guessing contest. A proverb picture will follow each day until the series is through. Queries received at Th c G 1 ob c of fice Sunday and yesterday are indi cators of the interest which the pub lic is taking in this contest. They in dicate that there will be a big bunch of competitors from the very start, and a word to the wise is sufficient: Bet ter start tomorrow, too, all you who are figuring on getting a slice of the $800 which The Globe is hanging up in prizes for best sets of answers. Of course it is possible to wait until very close to the finish and then get all of the proverb pictures, work hard for a few hours and possibly carry oft* the major prize. But it is well to re member, too, that the race is not al ways to the swift. Better Start Early In this contest there is every chance of the prizes going to those partici pants who start early and guess con sistently to the finish. And in this instance it is well to re member a very trite saying: Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today. If the proverb picture is al ways solved on the day that it ap pears, the answer written on the at tached coupon and the coupon stored safely away, then the fiftieth proverb picture will find forty-nine already an swered and a creditable showing with in easy reach. The proverb pictures are not going to illustrate obsolete maxims, neither are they going to illustrate uncommon maxims. They are going to be pic torial representations of proverbs which are as familiar to the general public as the face of a clock. The only object of the contest is to see how well people remember and how cor rectly they are able to quote these lit tle pearls of expression and thought which have withstood the test of time and the advance of science and still ring as true to life as they did when they were given birth, one hundred or seven hundred years ago, as the case may be. Answer on Coupons Furthermore, everybody is at perfect liberty to guess upon every picture. The only requirement back of the con test is that the answers be written on coupons which will be printed with the picture each day. This rule is made for tho purpose of obtaining sys tem In handling the thousands of an swers which will be submitted in the contest. So the advice of The Globe is for everybody to start guessing with to morrows picture. Study it over care fully, be sure you are right and then go ahead. One hundred and twenty three people are going to get cash Dr. Lyon's PERFECT Tooth Powder Cleanses and beautifies the teeth and purifies the breath. Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century* : Very convenient for tourists. I PREPARED BY prizes for proficiency in guessing and quoting the proverbs attaching to the pictures. The pictures play no favor ites. They look the same to one man as to another. The contest is for all the people. In another part of The Globe to day will be found a more detailed ac count of the rules of the contest and a list of the prizes. Better read up early, start early, remembering that the early bird catches the worm, and stay consistently at the proposition until you have some part of that $SOO stowed away in your savings bank. Valuable Old Gems Harms Grunow, the German consul at St. Paul, has loaned the state art society some gems in their original settings which are 200 years old for the exhibition of the society, which will be opened at the new capitol Feb. 20.

ARCHITECTS DINE Minnesota Chapter .Informally Discusses Cathedral Plans The Minnesota chapter of the Amer ican Institute of Architects dined last night at the Commercial club. After the board had been cleared nearly ev erybody presen-t was called upon for remarks, and during the discussion two interesting subjects came up.' The new cathedral and its plans was one of the subjects, and while the mat ter was not formally considered tho<!e who spoke said that they had gained the impression that a Minnesota archi tect would probably be chosen to make the plans. Who compose the list to be invited to submit plans was a mys tery to the architects, although they expressed great confidence that Min nesota would not be discriminated against. The other matter was the possibility of a bill being introduced in the legis lature requiring a license for archi tects. The opinion expressed by the members was that if such a bill was not enacted at this session of the leg islature it would be within a few years. The sentiment generally favored such a measure. E. P. Overmire, secretary and treas urer of the chapter, said that the sub ject of the license bill had not given the architects much thought. He said that any safeguard to the profession would be welcomed by the architects in good standing. W. C. Whitney, of Minneapolis, ia president of the chapter, and E. P. Bassford is vice president. The next dinner will be held In Minneapolis. M'ALLISTER LIFTS CLOTHING DUMMY Patrolman Runs Down Man Who Stole Overcoat From Store A cold night and a warm overcoat reposing on a dummy in front of Laza rus' store, 181 East Seventh street, proved a combination of circum stances John McAllister was unable to overlook. So he quickly divested the dummy of the garment and tightly, clasping it under his arms started on a run down the street. His actions were observed by the patrolman on the beat, who immediately gave chase and placed him under arrest, charged with petit larceny. Supreme Court to Move The judges and clerk of the state supreme court will move to their new quarters in the east wing of the new capitol today.
