SATURDAY EVENING, HOW TO PROTECT GIRLS AT FAIR W C. A DISCUSSES ACTION. PLAN O Every Effort Will Taken to Wara Girls Who to St. Louis of Exist- ence of Vice SyndicateTravelers' Aid Matrons Will Co-operate. A the monthly, meeting of the Woman's Christian association yester day the secretary read a letter from the W A of St. Louis, calling at tention to the danger confronting young girls going to St. Louis, and suggesting a plan for protecting them. The local association will co-operate. The existence of a great vice syndi cate to lure thousands of young and ambitious girls to St. Louis thru prom ises of pleasant and lucrative employ ment, has been widely heralded. Thru its Travelers' Ai department, the St. Louis W C. A. is seeking to frustrate these plans. The Minneapolis association voted to provide cards of introduction to Travelers' Aid matrons at St. Louis, to be used by girls who go to St. Louis thru this city. These will be in the hands of the Travelers' Aid matrons at the stations. These matrons, here and elsewhere, are always known by their badges. The Woman's Home Missionary so ciety of Simpson E church has been securing information in regard to the matter. The police say that agents of the vice syndicate have been quietly at work in Minneapolis. CLOSE TO AN AGREEMENT LITHOGRAPHERS AND THEIR EMPLOYERS ARE ABOUT O SETTLE TROUBLE WHICH CAUSED THE STRIKE. From a telegram received in Min neapolis from New York it would seem that the Civic Federation of the latter city had about succeeded in ending the labor trouble existing be tween the employing lithographers and their men. A joint session of the representatives of the employers, the unions and the federation has been in sessi on in Manhattan for over a week. The telegram announced that the conference had agreed upon all points with the exception of one which would be considered this afternoon. This means that the trouble is nearly settled. The lithographing shops of the country have been idle for four weeks, but there is a feeling that work will begin once more by the middle of next week.

MUSIC HALL FUND GROWS GOOD WORK. I N A SINGLE GLOOMY MORNING BRINGS I N $30,000 I N INSURANCE. Thirty thousand .dollars in life in surance on a chnly morning is con sidered a fair average for the volun teer auditorium committee solicitors. This is the result of this morning's work. Five thousand came by mail on the newspaper blank applications. One solicitor secured $9,500, another $6,000, and in this way the total was made up. A new combination is being worked which is successful. The solicitors go in pairs. One of these is an expert in his way. is acquainted with the business men who are to be ap proached. The other is the expert on insurance. One of the men makes the opening and the other closes the at tack. Several members of the committee find it very easy to secure attention from the men they approach, but haven't the knack of closing up the business. I such cases an expert in surance man calls and finds no diffi culty in securing the applications. One of the most successful men is a comparative stranger in Minneapolis who wrote $50,000 the first week and is maintaining the record. "We are going to have the audito- rium," is the slogan. S firmly are the members of the committee im pressed with this idea that they are working with great zeal. A local contractor who is preparing to bid on the construction of the audi torium volunteered to the committee this week the promise that in case he was successful in putting in the low bid. he would guarantee $50,000 insur ance in the Northwestern National Life. Every string possible is being pulled. I is exnected that all who get contracts on the building will feel inclined to guarantee insurance, thus making volunteer solicitors of all in terested in putting up the building.

I I Exercised Like that of Svengall Upon TrilbyOpportunity to Hear the Two to Had by Minneapol- itans Next Monday Evening. Hypnotic control, greater than Sven gali's power over Trilby's singing because from deeper sources, is the secret of Frau Strauss-De Ahna's exquisite singing, for Dr. Richard Strauss, Germany's greatest livir-g composer. *Xercises a marvelous power over his wife which utterly eclipses what was deemed a wild flight of Maurier's fancy. While Dr. Strauss and his wife sway at will the thousands that crowd halls, and auditoriums to hear them, there are few the secret, but that few watches with awe the great eomposer pouring his own soul thru his wife's voice, and the great soprano but a passive Instrument in the master's hands Dr. Strauss' marv*elous power over his wife has been freely commented on. One who knows intimately the facts of the case says that Frau St success is due to the psychological in fluence exercised by her husband. The first public intimation of this strange power came one day recently in Philadelphia, during the closing concert of the Philadelphia orchestra at the Acad emy of Music. Frau Strauss had sung her husband's song, "Wiegenlied," and had been greeted with tumultuous applause. As she started to repeat a verse she sud denly stopped, stood rigid and pressed one hand to her forehead. Dr. Strauss was conducting the accom paniment, and as soon as he noticed his wife's condition he hastened to her side. His right hand gripped her arm and for a moment he gazed steadily into her eyes. Several persons in the audience saw him make passes in front of her face. Frau Strauss' eyes constantly sought her hus band's, as th she were receiving back her strength, and in obedience to his will she recovered her composure and went on with her song with her eyes still resting on his. auss-De Ahna's This dramatic incident has disclosed an instance of psychological control most in teresting. Dr. Strauss and his wife have recog nized its existence for" years, ever since, indeed, he took her as his pupil and mar ried her ten years ago. Frau Strauss hinted at this mysterious influence when she first came to this country When she ma de her debut in N ew York the management wanted her to sing to orchestral accompaniment. "B ut Richard must always be the con ductor," remonstrated Frau Strauss I cannot sing unless Richard plays or con ducts. W belong together." Thus it happens that whenever she sings, her husband either plays the piano accompanime nt or conducts the orchestra. So closely are Strauss and his wife bound together by strange ties of sym pathy it is said, that when one is ill the other is correspondingly ill, even th sep arat ed by many miles. Monday night at Plymouth church Frau Strausg will sing several groups of her husband's songs covering a wide range in ar t. This event will be watched with pe culiar interest by phsycologists as well as musicians. Th visit of Dr. and Mrs. Strauss to Minneapolis bids fair to prove the musical event of the season." NO CLASS ROWS IN 1905rtd PRESIDENT NORTHROP SAYS THE CLASS "BRUSHES" O THIS YEAR WILL-NOT E REPEATED. Next year, if I a here, I will see to it that matters are not carried so far," said President Cyrus Northrop of the university, to-day, in commenting upon the recent university clashes be tween classes over flags and banners, banquets and entertainments. "The matter had gone further than I knew of," continued President Northrop. "As soon as I learned of the true state of affairs I took steps to put an end to it, and I do not think that there will be any more of it. I is the ordinary spring outbreak of every year, and I had no reason to expect that it would be carried too far. One cannot act in advance and stop things which one is not aware will occur. Next year, if I am on the grounds, I will see to it that it does not go so far but I think that there will be nothing more of the matter this year. MORE COLON BACILLI Deadly Bugs in Reservoir Again The Typhoid Report. Colon bacilli are found again in the reservoir and the "bay" at the North east pumping station. The number of bacteria colonies found 'in water taken from the "crib" at the North station is considerably larger than in water from the reservoir or the new station, but it contained no colon bacilli yesterday. Dr. Corbett thinks the colon bacilli would now be found in all city water, no matter from what locality the sample was taken. One case of typhoid was reported this morning. There has not been a death from the disease for several days. Care in boiling all drinking water gets credit in part- for thte good showing. THE END COMES TO COL.

LOCAL POLITICS WOOD MAY RUN Eighth Ward Republicans ^Would Match Him Against Powers. I casting about for a candidate upon whom the opposition to Alder man Fred Powers may settle, the republicans of the eighth ward have begun to give their attention to Daniel B. Wood, attorney, and delegations have been waiting on him for the past two weeks. Altho he has never appeared in the role of an officeseeker, a good deal of pressure was brought to bear on him two years ago to enter the aldermanic race in which Alderman Clarke was successful. This time the same in fluence will probably cause him to yield. O MR. HUHN Combination that May Put Three Men Into Aldermanic Races. A combination has been formed by Thomas Voegeli of the third ward, Charles Huhn of the fourth and Stew art Gamble of the eighth, which prom ises some interesting developments. The republicans have attempted to get Mr. Voegeli to try conclusions with Alderman Claus Mumm, but he has declined to be drawn into the race. Sheep's eyes have also been cast at Mr. Gamble by the people of his ward and at Mr. Huhn by the people of the fourth. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Gamble said that he would run if both Mr. Voegeli and Mr. Huhn would also enter, and Mr. Voegeli said that he would run if Mr. Huhn and Mr. Gam ble did so it appears to be up to Mr. Huhn.

Undaunted by the wind and sleet, the sophomores visited the machine shop last night and took down the banner which the freshmen had placed on the chimney. The fresh men had no guards posted, as they believed that it would be impossible for a man to work in the storm at the top of the 105-foot stack. The sophomores were fully con vinced Qf the folly of sending a man up- the chimney flue, and conducted their operations from the roof of the shop. A pole made of sections of gas pipe, and fitted with a barbed point, was held against the chimney with guy ropes and pushed up until the point passed under the wire which encircled the stack and supported the freshman flag. A sharp pull and the '07 banner lay on the ground. I was quickly divided among the at tacking party.

MAY BLOCK SEWER WORK New York Engineer Claims Royalty on Concrete Construction. Patent rights held by a New York engineer may prevent the city from employing concrete and steel construc tion in its sewer work this season. The city engineer had planned to use it in all the big sewers this year. This construction is favored by many engineers on account not only of the strength, but the great economy. Such sewers can be built at from 15 to 20 per cent less than brick sewers. The holder of the patent demands four per cent of the cost as a royalty. If this applies on the whole cost of construction, his royalties will amount to a tidy sum as there will be about $95,000 put into this class of sewers. City Engineer Rinker insists that the royalty cannot be enforced as the patent does not cover any principle which has not been employed by en gineers for years, and he is in favor of ignoring the claims for royalty and proceeding with the work. The sewer committee at its meeting this morning decided to refer the law points in volved in the matter to the city at torney.

With Young Men and Women Who Need This Work. If you only knew and could realize the beneficent results of a course in physical culture, the item of cost would not be considered for a moment. It brings you up to a normal condi tion, reducing your weight if you are too heavy and giving flesh if you are too light. I solidifies that soft, flabby flesh and makes it hard and firm, im parting muscle. There is nothing on earth that equals It in giving an ap petite, aiding the di gestion, removing nervousness and inducing sound, sweet, refreshing sleep. Aside from the mere making of muscle, it deepens the chest, in creases the lung power, strengthens the heart action, equalizes the circula tion and puts the whole system a fortified position to successfully combat and ward off the insidious at tacks of disease. And it works wonders for young ladies, too I develops the bust, strengthens the spin e, brings out the fine form lines, tones up the nerves, brings the blood to the surface, develops and rounds out the limbs and makes a perfect form, with graceful carriage, erect, square shouldered and commanding presence, touching the cheek with that magic wand of beauty that colors the peach. One can always mark the lady in training from her elastic step and graceful carriage, clear eye pink cheeks and vivaciousness. She is in perfect health.
