As a remedy for these conditions the

training.

Long Years of Service,
Professor Maria Sanford is most
closely identified with the interests and
life of the university, having been
professor of rhetoric there for twenty
six years. She is one of the best-known
figures on the campus and is beloved
by all the students. Her widespread
popularity is not based on her work in
the university alone,' but also on her
endeavors in the field of lecture and
education. She is a public speaker of
great force and interest. Her lectures
on art especially 'have
h'a a steadily
increasing popularity. A woman, now
close to 70, Professor Sanford still
possesses a voice full, rich and sympa
thetic largeness and clearness of view,
and fire, earnestness and enthusiasm
to a remarkable degree.
Minnesota alumni have set on foot a
movement to purchase an oil portrait
of Miss Sanford, to be placed in Alice
Shevlin hall, as a fitting expression
of their apprecirtion of her long and
faithful service at the university and
her fine qualities as a woman. Miss
Grace McKinstry, a Minnesota woman,
was chosen to paint the portrait.
"Yes,'' said Professor Sanford yes
terday, with a smile, I have taught
here in this university for twenty-six
years.t My department, that of rhet
oric, is the largest in the college of
science, literature and arts, numbering
about 300 students.
"Ah, but it was different when I
came here in 1880. I was then assistant
to Professor Marston of the English
department. The department of rhet
oric was created for me.

charge of the public speaking. While
I was there, Dr. Folwell, then president
of the University of Minnesota, visited
the college and I met him. He asked
me to give my services to the univer
sity. I did, and have taught here ever
since.
"Mine has been a long life and I
hope a useful one. I have had many
interests outside of the university

lectured in Ohio, in Maryland and in

Dr. Tuthill was pastor. Now, I am a

for several months and one day I met

I have filled many different pulpits. I

special gift."

DEAD MAN ROBBED
S. C. Milliman Found His Brother's
Money Had Been Taken.
Samuel C. Milliman of 633 Harrison
street NE went to Driscoll, N. D., last
week to take charge of the remains of
his brother, George C. Milliman, and
found disagreeable conditions. Know
ing that his brother had some money,
he made inquiries and ascertained that
the undertaker who had accompanied
the coroner and the sheriff had obtained
money from some unknown source and
had been living high for a few days.
He forced the undertaker to confess
that he had robbed the dead man's
purse of $105 and spent the money. To
avoid prosecution the undertaker gave
a note for the full amount. He was ar
rested, however, and bound over to the
grand jury.
George Milliman died from natural
causes in his shack near Driscoll. The
funeral was held yesterday at Anoka,
where he formerly lived.

only five years ago, and unable, on ac
count of her children, to find employ
ment, she has appealed to the Humane
society for assistance.
They are making every effort to find
Some home in which she can earn a liv
ing for herself and her children as a
housekeeper. So far their efforts have
been fruitless, but they are confident
that there is some establishment in or
near Minneapolis in which Mrs. Dum
barton and her little ones% will fill the
want of a woman's care and the pres
ence of children.

GOVERNOR SAYS NO
Executive Disagrees with Guardsmen
on Selection of Adjutant General.
I think it would be an absurdity
for the office of the adjutant general
to be made ^six-year term position,"
said Governor Johnson yesterday when
asked .his opinion of the resolution
adopted by the Minnesota State Guard
association to that effect, the aim be
ing to remove the office from politics
as much as possible.
"The adjutant general," said Gov
ernor Johnson, "is really the secretary
for the governor of the military de
partment of the state government. The
governor is the commander-in-chief and
signs all commissions of officers. I
think it is as essential that the adju
tant general be appointed by each gov
ernor as he enters upon his adminis
tration, as it is for the governor to
name his private secretary. To have
the adjutant general oppointed other
wise would be to change the whole
system. If the adjutant general held

important Steinway News
The Metropolitan Music Co.
Is pleased to announce that by a special trip to New York they
have at last been able to secure some further shipments of
Steinway Pianos in time for Christmas. While some of these
are for orders already received, it is thought enough have been
secured to supply immediate demands.
The sale of Steinway Pianos, both in Minneapolis and all
over the world has so far exceeded expectations this year that
all surplus stock at the factories was exhausted some time ago.
We* are more fortunate, therefore, than dealers in other cities
in being able to obtain for our Minneapolis patrons these ad-
ditional shipments.
The first of them arrived yesterday. There has been no
change in the established schedule of Steinway prices.
