Lucian Hemmerdinger, of Paris,

Nicollet. Mr. Hemmerdinger is making
a trip around the world and is now on
his way to British Columbia, where he is
interested In new silver mine discoveries.
"In the vicinity of the new town of
Cobalt the richest silver mines in the
jKorfd aro being developed," he said to a
reporter. "There are now five mines
opened. Next year will see at least
twelve in full blast. A year ago the site
of the town was nothing but open coun
try. Today the town contains over 1,000
Inhabitants. Another year and in my
estimation there will be fully 5.000 people
in the city. There are bound to be some
Immense fortunes made. Not only is the
silver ore of great richness, but not ln
frequently there are being found valuable
pockets of the pure

opening of the new silver is bound.

remain here about a week, then go to
Vancouver and from there to Cobalt.

NEW YEAR'S DAY
ENJOYED BY ALL
T-K:
MINNEAPOLIS TAKES FIRST DAY
A OTV., 5 OP 1906 OFF.
Majority Spend the Day in Their
Homes, Where Holiday Cheer and
Good Things to Eat Axe Enjoyed
Thousands Seek Recreation in Open
Air in Spite of Cold.
New Year's Day is being enjoyed in
Minneapolis as a holiday by nearly
everyone. Probably as many are ob
serving the day as one for rest and
recreation as on Christmas Day. Spe
cial early church services in the Catho
lic churches thruout the city were large
ly attended. These services were about
the only religious observances of the
day. The festive turkey and other
good things to eat which were not de
voured Christmas, put in an appearance
today on dinner tables and did their
part toward strengthening humanity
for the new year.
The afternoon was given over by
thousands to recreation. The theaters
were crowded. ^A host of young peo
ple went skating on rinks, ponds and
lakes.
The mercury dropped early to ten
degrees above zero? a temperature
which was made biting and. penetrat
ing by exceeding dampness in the air.
As a result, hundreds preferred the
warmth of roller skating to facing the
cold on ice, and the roller rinks were
crowded with a happy, rolling sea of
humanity.
"Hotels were pretty well deserted to
day. The registrations were very
light, all the usual transients having
sought their homes. "Knights of the
grip" were absent from the lobbies ex
cept in a few rare instances where
they were unable to "make" home in
time for the holiday.
Time checks given by the railroads to
men employed on temporary work, such
as clearing the tracks of snow, are, ac
cording to C. M, Stocking, superlnten
_dent of the Union City Mission, a great
cause of idleness and poverty.
"The chief cause of many men's
lying around the lodging houses doing
nothing and often in actual want,'' said
Mr. Stocking, "is the time-check system
of paying^ temporary laborers employed
oy the railroads. These men engage to
do, say, a week's work shoveling snow.
When they are thru they are given a
time-check and shipped back to town, and the members gathered in the com-
These checks cannot be cashed except fortably arranged rooms and exchanged
their New Year's greetings over a lav-
at the division office and by the payee
himself. Often the payroll is not ready
when the man comes in and will not
be for several days.
"If he wants to get the fnoney Jie has
earned he must lie around town until
the roll is ready. In the meantime he
is out of work and often out of money.
One man whom I took in yesterday
morning had a time-check for a good
sum, but not a cent of ready money.
He had deposited the check with a
hotelkeener as security for a supper
and night's lodging valued at fifty
cents. I have had twenty-six men
similar circumstances on my hands at
one time.
"It can readily be sees-how this sys
tem helps maintain a class of floating
labor, frequently out of employment but
always ready when the railroaas want a
crew of any sort for temporary service.
I think that the time-check is to blame
o* much pauperism and perhaps some
crime."
AT THE CLUBS
Many New Year's Day Dinner Parties
in the City.
The Commercial club was one of the
most hospitable places today and many
of the members came in with their fam
ilies' for dinner, while others enter
tained friends. The handsome rooms
with their decorations reflected some
of the holiday cheer of the past week,
and after dinner the guests gathered in
groups around the glowing yuletide logs
for social pleasure.
Dr. O. W. Hack entertained a small
party at dinner, H. A. Hall had a party
of six and W. I. Fisher entertained
seven guests. W. W. Bardwell enter
tained at a family dinner, and C. H.
Hardly, W. N. Wright and family were
guests at the club. F. A. Shearer, with
a party, occupied one of the tables, and
E. P. Capen had a party of three. In
the party entertained by J. Elliott were
five guests. C. W. Perkins was host to
a party of five, H. B. Smart had four
covers laid at his table and many other
members of the club came in for din
ner.
W. I. Fisher will entertain at a hand
somely appointed dinner for the em
ployees of the Minnesota & Dakota Fire
Underwriters, at the Commercial club
this evening. Mr. Fisher is the secre
tary of the company, and the dinner
will be one of the pleasant New Year's
events.
At the Minneapolis club open house
was kept in the morning, and at -noon,
ishly prepared buffet luncheon.
Music, dancing, sleighing and tobog
ganing filled out the hours of the day
at the Mmikahda club. The orchestra
played all afternoon, and the members
of the club, their families and friends
dropped in during the dinner hours and
remained later for the dance.

OLDER STREETCAR
HEN CHOOSE RUNS
Veteran trainmen of the street rail
way company are picking their runs for
the coming year today. For several
years it has been the custom of the
company to allow the older motormen
and conductors, in the order of their
service, to choose their runs. The se
lection is made the first of the year
and so far as possible is recognized by
the ^operating department of the com
pany.
As the oldest in service are first
served, some of the younger ones are
obliged to take second or third choice.
The men on the end of the list in point
of length of service, are obliged
to take what is left, and are assigned
by the superintendent. As a rule
there are few changes among the old
men at the head of the list. After
they get what they want, they hold it
from year to year and there are both
motormen and conductors on the city
lineB who know nearly every mon,
woman and child on their runs.
No one line seems to have a decided
preference. Every line in the city is
chosen by a certain set of drivers and
conductors who prefer that line to any
other. The same is true of the inter
urban lines. There was some expressed
preference for the new Minnetonka line,
but the long out-of-town runs are gen
erally closely watched by the manage
ment and given to the old tried men
only. There is greater need for cool
heads and experience on these runs,
and the men who are assigned to them
are generally those the company feels
can take care of themselves and their
cars in any emergency.
PLAYING CHESS WITH
WINNIPEG BY WIRE
The Minneapolis and Winnipeg Chess
clubs started in at 10:30 a.m. today to
play their tournament. The Minneapo
lis Chess club is located in the parlors
of the Nicollet hotel, where a telegraph
operator has a key in direct communica
tion with an operator in the chess club
rooms at Winnipeg. The contest cannot
be finished till at least 6 p.m., possibly
not till 10 p.m. It was originally
planned to play fourteen boards, with as
many players from each club represent
ing their organizations in each city.
This morning, however, Winnipeg could
muster but twelve players, and only
twelve games were started. There were
a number of changes in the list of Win
nipeg men originally scheduled to play,
which pleased the Minneapolis men.
The players of the two teams are as
follows:

Friends and workers of the Christian assembled at her chateau, high up on

With"* the blowing of innumerable
whistles and the ringing of bells, 1906
was duly ushered in at midnight. The
din lasted for fifteen or twenty minutes
and few were permitted to sleep.
Watchnight services were held in a
score or more of churches, and because
these services followed the regular Sun
day evening meetings, they were more
largely attended than for many years
past. The meetings disbanded a few
moments after midnigh$, and for nearly
an hour the .streets presented a busy
appearance with little throngs of people
hurrying to and fro, and the streetcars
for a while did a rushing business tak
ing watchnighters" to their homes.
The sudden change in temperature,
changing from a mild evening to biting
cold by midnight, did much to cause
'the usual loungers to keep off the
streets. The strict enforcement of the
mayor's order for the_ Sunday closing
of saloons was also an important factor
in preventing the celebrating the ar
rival of the New Year with drunken
carousals.
The combination of Sunday night and
New Year's eve proved a good thing
for all the theaters, and every one was
crowded. Most of the theatergoers,
however, had left the playhouse and
were oft the streets by the time the
chimes in the courthouse tower began
to "ring out the old, ring in the new."

A pretty story is told of how Emma
Calve, who sings Wednesday evening
at the Auditorium, entertained at her
chateau in southern France the
cadets of Gascony on their trium
phal pilgrimage thru Gaccony. The
''Cadets" include every man and wom-
8an of art or letters, every poet musi
cian, sculptor, painter, singer and
dancer who can claim Gascony as his
or her natal place. Towards the end
of the festivities Calye joined the ca
dets and was cordially welcomed, being
crowned "Queen of the Fetes" and
carried in a chair from feast to feast.
On the last day of the pilgrimage all

the hours that followed, both in the
open air and in the chateau, that voice
of deep and thrilling tenderness was
heard.
In the evening a feast was spread
on the terrace off the chateau, a fare
well banquet to the sons of Gascony,
and when the time had come for part
ing and one by one the carriages wound
out of the gates, again that beautiful
voice filled the air as Calve sang 0
Malgali." It was like a personal fare
well to each departing guest.
GOOD INCREASE SHOWN
Receipts of Water Department for Year
Made Good Showing.
Complete figures on the receipts of the
water department were taken off today
by Chief Clerk W. E. Young of the reg
istrar's office.
There is a net increase of $32,640, all
the items showing an increase with the
exception of those covered by flat rates.
The more general use of meters natur
ally has reduced the number of flat rate
accounts and also the revenue from this
source. The statement of receipts, com
pared with those of 1904, is as follows:

gloomy. Yesterday morning he seemed
to feel unusually well and went out for
a walk. He obtained a revolver while on

PARDON EXPECTED
BY MBS, BRENNAN
SHE EXPECTS A SPEEDY RELEASE
FROM PBISON.^f* J}f
i*__i
Her Attorney Has Not as Yet De
cided Whether or Not an Appeal
Will Be Taken, but Will Work to
Secure an Arrest of Judgment.
E. S. Cary, attorney for Mrs. Stella
Brennan, now awaiting sentence for the
murder of her stepdaughter, will move
for an arrest of judgment tomorrow
morning, when his client is brought be
fore Judge H. D. Dickinson. He stated
today that he wanted some time in
which to decide whether or not he would
make a motion for a new trial.
The convicted murderess has been re
turned to her solitary cell in the coun
ty jail* She has slept both nights
since hearing the jury's verdict that
means for her imprisonment for life and
her appetite has not suffered. She said
today, that she would not have to stay
in the penitentiary for more than a
year, as she says she expects to be par
doned out.
Local county officials hope that no
stay of judgment will be granted by the
court, for every day that the prisoner
is kept in jail here the county has to
pay $4 a day to the two guards, one of
whom is with Mrs. Brennan all of the
time and in addition to this, there is
the cost of the maintenance of the three
women.
James Brennan, the husband of the
defendant, wanted to make a New
Year's call on the prisoner, but he was
told by Jailor Clausen that he would
have to see Sheriff Dreger, as no vis
itors are allowed in the jaii on holi
days. The sheriff informed Mr. Bren
nan 's lawyer that he would have to get
an order of court, and up to noon this
ordej, had not been secured.
ARMY IS GRATEFUL
Brigadier Cousins Issues Thanks
Christmas Contributions.
for
Brigadier John W. Cousins, provin
cial commander of the Salvation Army,
has issued a letter thanking the people
of Minneapolis for their contributions
towards the Army's Christmas dhraer
to the poor and reporting on the
amount of food distributed. In his
letter he says
"The total donations from all sources
were in advance of last year. About
3,000 uncooked dinners and 1,000
cooked meals were given away. A
poor widow with a crippled daughter at
home to support voiced the feelings of
ma'n'y others as she looked on a well
fllled basket that was handed to her
and said, 'all this for meand this
fruit?' while tears of gratitnde ran
down her face. With scores of others,
she went off happy with her basket of
Christmas cheer. The men, women
and children at the public dinner were
equally appreciative. No one who saw
the poor people go off with their bas
kets or those who sat down at the table
dinner, but was convinced that the
poorest of our city had been reached.
To the aged, blind and sick, baskets of
cheer were delivered at their homes.
A gentleman, after making one do
nation, kindly asked the privilege of
paying one bill for 1,693 pounds of
chicken, and 605 pounds of turkey. He
said since, 'I enjoyed my Christmas
better for doing it.'

CONGREGATION OF SWEDISH TAB-
ERNACLE PRESENTS CHAIE TO
J. B. RYBERG.ilR
JSBL-
As a token of deep appreciation for
his earnest efforts during his long serv
ice as trustee of the church andHhe high
esteem in which he is held, J. B. Ry
berg was this afternoon presented a
handsome chair by the congregation'of
the Swedish Tabernacle.
For twenty-seven years Mr. Ryberg
had served as a trustee of the church,
and during most of this long term he
has been either chairman or treasurer
of the church and one of the most faith
ful builders of the "large and prosper
ous congregation. He probably would
have been an officer thruout his life
had it not been for his removal to Frid
ley, Minn., a year ago. He was re
tained,, however, lono- after he left Min
neapolis, and only his earnest desire
that someone in the city be elected to
succeed him resulted in the change by
which John L. Beckner became a trus
tee.
During Mr. Ryber's residence in Min
neapolis he was not only a strong work
er in the ohurch, but also one of the
most consistent and honorable political
workers in the county, having served
eight years as county commissioner. He
is a present postmaster at Fridley.
Glowing tributes were paid to Mr.
Ryberg by officers and members of the
church at the presentation.
LESSON IS LEARNED
BY "THE ERRAND BOY"
Billy B. Van, "The Errand Boy,"
whose name is in big type on the Bijou
programs this week, is telling a New
Year's temperance story with a moral
today. The story contains a bit of phil
osophy or rather an observation by
Mr. Van that has not been answered.
In his show Mr. Van does a little
stunt with the leading lady and a bot
tle of wine. During the stunt he
sticks the bottle of wine in his trous
ers pocket upside down. It is part of
the turn to pretend that the wine leaks
over his person, but that is only a pre
tension, for Mr. Van stops the neck of
the bottle with his finger.
Yesterday afternoon, tho, the finger
came out and likewise the wine while
the bottle was upside down in the
pocket. Mr. Van hung the wine
drenched trousers .to dry on the radi
ator in his dressing-room. When he
came to climb into the bags for his
turn last night they were stiff as a
board. He broke the crease in them
by hammering them over the edge of
a trunk, but still they were stiff.
Just as he was completing the opera
tion and saying things about the af
fair the Journal man and the busi
ness manager dropped in for a little
call. After explaining the situation
Mr. Van remarked, "If that stuff will
do that to your pants, what will it do
to your stomach? I think I see why I
have felt queer on two or three occa
sions when the juice went inside in
stead of out."
FROM ISLE OF PINES
J. Carlton Jacks Receives Prize Box of
Enormous Fruit.
J. Carlton Jacks, manager of the Rog~
ers hotel, has received a New Year's
gift from his father, R. M. Jacks of the
Isle of Pines, in the form ot a boat of*
matchless large oranges and grape fruit.
R. M. Jaeks was formerly a resident for
many years Of Rochester, Minn., but now
has a fruit plantation four miles from
Sante Fe. The fruit shows what won
derful things can be accomplished on the
Isle of Pines, thru the fact that the
large grape fruit sent was raised on
two-year-old trees.
The express charges on the box were
over $6, but as It was prepaid the Mr.
Jacks at this end of the line is not
"kicking."
