MIMEAPOLISMENTION ; Interesting: Lecture on Social.--- by Dr. ward Aveling and His Wife Be fore a Large Audience. Can the Mutilation of Buckley's Corpse Be Called an Inquest or a Post Mortem ? A Minister's Wife Imprisoned In an Insane Asy turn on Account of Her llcligious opinions. SerseantFreem.n Hudson Wins the Prize-- -ii iv,' lieal __Male Market-- Various Matters. Dr. Edward Aveling. the noted English socialist and his wife. Mrs. Marx-Aveiing. j daughter of Carl Marx, the famous German ; economist, lectured at Turner hall last j night. The building was packed full, and ! the people were of that combination of j classes as test. Ito the general public in- , terest taken in the social problem. The i larger portion was wot kin-men— thotiehlful, intelligent men. with quite a number of mercantile and professional men and a sprinkling of ladies. Dr. Aveling and wife occupied the stage, with Mr. Dosing, of St. Paul, and Evert Nymenover. The former acted as chairman, and. after a speech that grew a little tiresome, intro duced Dr. Aveling. A rather typical Englishman be is. without the unpleasant features of English speech. He was plainly dressed, wore a negligee shirt and carried his watch in an outsiue coat pocket. The lecturer Oeg.ui with the expression of the doubt that many of his hearers knew what socialism meant, to explain tbis was one of the objects of the meeting. He proposed to make the m amng iociemr that none could fail to undets-OuU it. and understanding it must be w.th it or against it. The term for eigners should not be used in connection with socialism, as it conveyed a wrong ex pression. Nothing is foreign to America, in the historic sense of to- word, and it does not become Americans to reject anything as foreign, for all American.-, are really foreign ers, arier all. Tuose who condemn socialism as foreign are the first to secure foreign labor, especially when they can get it cheap enough. Besides, what would Americans have done but for the foreigners who fought for them in the great Civil war? Tt is true that socialism is largely German, but it must become American, for nothing Dan be done except by the aid or the great English speaking people, and to tbem he wished particularly to speak. He reverted to the fact that papers and people had singular misconceptions of socialism and bis presentation, ar.d quoted several articles in relation thereto. In this connection he admitted tbat America had its own social problems and salvations to work out, but it might be assisted by suggestions from Europe. The workmen of Minneapolis had been advised to avoid the socialist advocates because they owned their own homes and bad money in the savinirs bank: but this did not affect tbe great question. All men have not their own homes, and those who do see b them more e.egaat bouses, an- they ask the gui stion: "How is that my neighbor, who does no more work than I, own* so much more elegant home?" To answer this was his mission. Then there is tiie "savings" bunk— mark the phrase. The employer of laeor uses not the savings bank, for he needs not to save. THE SOCIAL, PROBLEM. Socialism tries to explain why things are as they are and how they might be better. It tries to propose the remedy for the present uuuapp.r state of society. He dwelt lor a time on the ' lamentable condition of society, and spoke of the possibilities that exist; of a man working out a lite and dying tor; ot a child 10 years of age put at work ten hours a day; of a woman driven to street prostitu tion. The cause of all this is because our society is bused upon an unpaid condition of labor. Socialists contend that ninety nine out of one hundred of the miseries of to-day are based on unpaid labor. This was the whole secret. There were no wild and reckless assertions to be made, but the secret was purely scientific. A large part if not the larger part, of labor to-oay is not paid. The paying of wages is not the paying of labor, but is only the buying of labor. Your employer pays not for your work, but for your body. [Wild ap plause.] If he paid for your l»bor be wo .IJ give you twice as much, and if be paid in full he could not build up such collcss.il fortunes as you see. Our position is that when you go into the shop and work, you are paid for about one-halt »"jr time and the remainder goes nnremunerated. When an employer labors, plans or directs, he should be re remunerated. But 11 he does work, he gets more than his share of the product: and the trouble is that employers, as a rule, do not work at ail. He who bosses or works and plans with hi* brain, of course deserves pay, but such are uot great companies una corporations. Dr. Aveling gave as an Illustration the man who. in England, invests $1,000 in a Minneapolis mill and, without ever comintr here, draws a dividend of $5 a per an num, get that $5- from the unpaid labor of the employes. The middle class, he main tained, is constantly being created and dying out— elevated by frugality from the lower class, and then rising, in cases, to the highest class, or being crushed out and sinking back to tbe lower class again. Tbe mas c. give the unpaid labor and the tew receive it. Land, raw material, machinery and human labor are the means of production and they ARE IN TIE HANDS Or THE FEW. Why is land valuable? Because it gives ca pacity for obtaining unpaid labor. Land in Minneapolis is more valuable than land in a desert, only because it is the means of getting labor, net remunerating it, and getting rent out of tne unpaid labor. It is an eternal falsehood to say you pay for a thing because you want it. because you par for tho human labor on it. Why do your mill owners grind wheat? They don't want the flour? No, they Erin- it _<• the labor in it of which they pay a part and realize on the unpaid portion. In that flour -;•* crvstalized human lives. Your mil*-: - - Vrre only with the human labor he can «ctti«:tol the wheat. [Great applause.] E- -*•• man who goes into the mill or shop to mor-ow is owned, literally owned, by the cap italistic class, gloss it over as you will. There is no such thing as the freedom of the laborer, who must .ell himr-»-o ib live. How did the capitalistic ;iass get hold of labor? By force. Legal force, o course, but still by torce. Very re ipecttullv I give the lie direct to the state ment thai any man by his own labor makes or made a fortune. It is physically impossible. Give PTrrybod\ all the land he may wish. Give Am ani Hewitt a continent, if you will, and he cannot make a cent of himself. But give him ten or twelve men to work for him and, aha! be grows wealthy. [Applause. | What is the remedy?. The ending of the waste system of to-day — the unpaid-lalor sys tem. It will, or. if you like, must come to an end. 1 mean it is doomed. The death hour is coming for it and there are plain in aications it is coming to its tinish. The signs of the times show it. Ultimately private property, in all these means of production, will cease to exist. 1 mean in those particular things. Don't understand me to sa. we favor abolishing property, for private property i should and must exist but it will be such | pre., ty as will not exist by the unpaid labor | of others. A hundred years hence such a | thing as private land will be exploded; the j owning of a factory by a man will be impossi ble. You will bring it about by political means: you will educate and you will agitate and you will organize, and your organization will be to that end. The speaker here alluded to the labor party as begun in the recent New York municipal campaign, which he regarded as merely the bud of a great national party, pledged to politics. It might be baffled and beaten, sometimes, but on the whole it would go forward. He referred to the general postal system of the government as embodying the social idea, not the ideal socialistic scheme, perhaps, but still suf ficient to show how the plan can be carried out. FROM A WOMAN'S STANDPOINT. Mrs. Aveling was then introu ced. She is commanding in figure and striking in declamation. Her dark hair and eyes, clear complex and large mouth, with even teeth, impress the spectator as the elements of a very handsome face. Her English was excellent her manner easy and self-possessed aud eminently womanly, while her delivery was graceful and pleas- Sbe laid down her first postulate socialsm is Dot anarchism. Neither the means pur sued nor the end sought by anarchists were in sympathy with the social. sts, yet she wished to protest with all her stength against this iniquitous verdict against the anarchists of Chicago. This was greeted with considerable applause. those on the stage leading. She wanted for them not only a new, but a fair trial. The had carefully read every word of the evidence and found these men were con victed not because they ha 1 done anything, but because they called themselves an archists. Science and truth, she went on to gay were one and the same and a scientific truth in one country, ■was accepted as the same in another; and socialism could no more be re iected because of it* German origin than evo lution could be rejected because its exponent . b__d -been .rles Darwin. She partially i traced the ground covered by her husband, j and then convulsed the house by referring to ; newspaper criticisms and gently intimating ; the writers, poor fellows, knew nothing of the subject. ' She said they had been criti- ; cised for coming here from a country noted ; for cheap labor, but she had noticed that tho i relations between employers and employed j were about the same in this country j as in Europe the employers pock eting proportionate sums. Her plati- ! tudes seemed more pleasing even than her j husband's, given, as they were, in a naive, ! confidential st.vle. For some length she went bo with statist cs, showing the wages paid in various parts of the country, some of which , statistics were evidently strained. She said women In Minneapolis made $1.50 to $_ a week, working tea hours a day. which was I opeuly questioned. She did not see any re lief in co-operation: until it could become , general and universal It would only help a | tew men aud would not touch the general | position. Nor would the ordinary labor or ganizations suffice to brintr about the desirel end; the* - made good weapons ami were good I means, but nothing short of a polit.c.d party , would be worth talking a. out. When she concluded the name of Dr. , Foiwell was called, and he finally took the j stage for a few remarks. While he had. ' he said, read Carl Marx's great work. Dos Capital, he w^s not prepared to receive as true everything laid down in \ it. The principle that capital j is entirely mm- productive, and. therefore, | entitled to no consideration or remunerati _n, i he could not entirely accept, as lie believed j much to be due those men who. by frugal- ' ity aud sacrifice, had accumulated the money : that made labor possible. He svmpath zed ' with the laboring classes, and bel eyed they i would ultimately control the nation's poli- : tics, when he hoped they would employ their power more judiciously than J either of the present parties. When he concluded Dr. Aveling responded, briefly : explaining Marx's position on the capital : question. He complimented Prof. Foiwell. and said it was a happy augury when men of such intelligence were found arrayed with them on principle. THE BUCKLEY CASE, The College aid H<_.pital Authori ties -Will Under si Cloui. There are no now developments concern ing the alleged mutilation of the corpse of John Buckley, who died at St. Barnabas' hospital Thursday, and whose body found its way to the dissecting room of the Min nesota Hospital college, where the bones, viseraanJ the brains were removed.and their places tilled with sticks and blocks of wood, before its delivery at Conolly's morgue, where it still lies. O. C. L. Snyder, superintendent of the poor, states that early last week Buckley was brought to him by a Mr. O'Leary, who asked that he should be placed in the hospital as a paid patient, and who guaranteed the payment of his expenses for a week. The super intendent drove Buckley to the hospital where he told the matron that he would be responsible for payment of the hospital charges for one week. From what can be learned it is inferred that the matron understood that Buckley was a city patient, and therefore friendless. The phy sicians connected with the hospital college thought that an opportunity had presented itself for the securing of a subject for sci entific purposes. The law provides that a tody must be taken to the morgue and al lowed to lie twenty-four hours for identiti cat.on, but it is apparent that this require ment must have been overlooked, for on Fri day Dr. Stewart, one of thecollege professors, applied jat Conolly's morgue, with a requisition for the body, signed by Dr. Van Cleve, the city physician. He was in formed that the body had not been re ceived at the morgue, and further that Dr. Van Cleve had no autiiority whatever in the premises. He went away, and Satur day the body was brought to the morgue, but not ' before the friends of the deceased had instituted certaiu inquiries that threatened to lead to an ex pose. Then the body was turned over, the places of the bones being tilled with pieces of wood and the skin sewed together with black thread. Dr. Stewart says in regard to the case. "In a case of this kind after a certain length of time, if no friends call for or our' the body, the corpse goes to the college for dis section. But in the case of this man Buck ley the corpse was not dissected. It was sim ple a post-mortem examination, although 1 admit it was a severe one. The disease of wuich he died was of a complicated nature, and we had to cut the corpse somewhat in order to tret at the facts. In the loft leg near the gr<> d> was a tumor which we bad to cut." It is quite pertinent to ask in this connec tion, what right is possessed by college professors and students to institute a post mortem examination without the request of friends. If an inquest is needed the county coroner is the proper person to order and conduct it. The matron says that Dr. Van Cleve. the city physician, telephoned that the body should be turned over to the college, and the undertaker states that a requisition signed by his name was pre sented. It is rather curious that the city physician should order an inquest or an examination, and this phase of the case will bear inquiry. There is another question which should be investigated if possible, and that is as to how many times the city physician has ordered ••inquests*' of this kind noon bodies, and how many bodies have found their way to the hospital college in violation of law? A FEARKI EXPERIENCE. . Sane Woman imprisoned in an Asylum for Her Keligiou . Vie. A very sensational case came yesterday before the Orthodox Ministers' association. It might have furnished the groundwork for a story similar to Charles Reade's "Hard Cash." Mrs. E. P. W. Packard, of Chicago, is the heroine and related to the interested dispensers of doctrine a thrilling story, of which the substance is briefly as follows: Mrs. Packard is the daughter of a Congregational minister of Massachusetts v • ' the wife of Rev. Packard, a Presbyter ian preacher at Mauteno, Kankakee county, 111. She had been educated a strict Calvan ist and her husband is a member of the Chicago presbytery, but her doctrinal views began to change and finally she was con verted to the Congregational idea. She was outspoken in her belief, aud finally her husband, fearing her influence on his flock and her standing as a Presbyterian, had her arrested and committed to the insane asylum at Jacksonville, without cause and without trial, telling her at the same time that he did so to destroy her moral influ ence with the parishioners. She was torn from a family of six children, with a babe only eighteen months old, and though of perfectly sound mind, was thrust into the prison life of an asylum. Her friends ap pealed to Judge Stair for a writ of habeas corpus, but the one thing wanting was her own expression of the wish for a hearing. Her husband, in whom her legal identity was merged and lost, refused to consent, and word was sent her that she must make application herself. This she did. but the warden of the asylum was in collusion with her husband, and would not mail her letter. SUFFERING AT.I- IMAGINABLE TORTURES. she was imprisoned three years, and finally found herself in a fair way to become as insane as her husband declared her. In this extremity she managed to slip a letter into the hadds Of a stranger, by whom it was finally delivered to Judge Starr. A writ of habeas corpus promptly followed, and Mr. Packard was summoned to show cause why she should be detained. After a jury trial of five days she was discharged, the jury holding that instead of loss of rea son, her course had shown the use of reason. The husband promptly fled the country at night, to avoid his just punishment, but took with him all the children and all of their effects, leaving her homeless and pen niless. However, friends had interested themselves in her behalf and she is now thriving. Her object in calling on the asso ciation was to secure au indorsement of a bill she proposes to submit to the next Min nesota legislature, giving to every patient of an insane asylum the privilege of writing one letter a week to some outside friend, without being subject to the surveillance of the superintendent. The ministers lis tened to her story with mingled horror and sympathy, and referred the matter to a committee for report in two weeks. CO -ll' _\Y AS I K-ZE DRILL. It Was Witnessed by a Large and Enthusiastic . udieuc :. The prize drill of Company A, for the 1 John-on badge, at Armory hall last night, | was well attended, and the audience was •HIE ST. PADTi DAILY GLOBE. TUESDAY MOo?_Kl_sra WTTS3SSE& 15, 1388, appreciative and enthusiastic. In the gallery were many ladies, and all appeared deeply interested in the animated scene below them. The company was represented by thirty-five men in full dress uniform, buttons and guns brightly polished, and shoes neatly blacked. Capt. Amory was in command. The in spectors were Lieut. Col. Harrison, cx- Capt. Frank Barnard and Maj. Fitzgerald, the company's surgeon. The rules were that each false move should constitute a mark, and a man getting four marks was to be dropped out. The thirty-live men ; started out in good shape, aud were put through the various movements for nearly half an hoar. While drilling some one I would make a false move and the blank look that would come into lis face was ' amusing. At 9:.0 the company was inarched out of the hall and into one of the ante- room-, where those having four marks against them were dropped from the ranks for the time being. Some of the men. who are perhaps a iritle more sensitive than a j soldier should be. were thankful to the j captain for his delicacy and kindness in j retiring them when they were to be I dropped. In a few mtm.entseighteenmen returned, j seventeen hav.ngbeen dropued. Again the ! drill commenced. The company was put | through everything that the captain could j th nk of, and when they retired right men j were left. It took some time to reduce this number to four, but it was finally done, the marking getting c.oser and closer as the I number of men diminished. The four who J last stood upon the door were berg.. Howe. Sergt. Furuie. Sen.- Hudson and Private Little. As they stood iv the center of the hall they were roundly cheered by their comrades and by the spectators. As the drill commenced cm _ more, all of the four exhibited slight traces of nervousness, but this soon wore off, and as the men gained confidence they did some very pretty work. Down they went. how ever, on some slight mistake, until Sergeant Freeman Unison was the only man who had successfully passed the tedious drill. He was vigorously applauded, and received the medal amid much cheering. Ou the whole, very creditable work was done by the whole company, anil it is but lair to say that many of the men who went down early did so through pure nervousness. The inspectors expressed themselves as well pleased with the drill an I warmly complimented Capt. Amory upon the ap pearance of chis company. The Johnson medal was won twice by v'apr. Amory. and would have been his finally, probably, had he been in a position to compete for it. The final holder of the medal will have to win it three times. U'e-t l.ofel Improvements. Manager Shepherd cot templates making many improvements in the West hotel, a portion of which are already under way. Tim exterior of the west and north sides of the building are to receive three coats of red pa. nt so as to conform in color with the pressed brick of the Hennepin and Fifth street fronts. The work of repainting all the woodwork in the house above tho second floor is to be resumed. The corridor lead ing to the bar from the exchange is to be wainscotted in marble. The electric lights are to be removed from the parlors and three elegant' chandeliers for gas will be substituted. The parlors are also to be re furnished by Bradstreets at a cost of $5,000 and $3,000 worth of furniture has been or dered for jother parts of the house. An ele gant private room is being titled up di rectly back of the bar, and other minor im provements and changes are to be made. The work of building the tower is soon to begin, the plans for which are now in the hands of Architect Buffington. Fun in the Court It-torn. While Judge Young was trying a case yesterday. Deputy Clerks Aitnow and j Dickey entered the room and began whis pering. They whispered a trifle too loud to suit the judge, and he rapped for order. Neither of the clerks noticed it and con tinued their conversation. This worried the judge and at last he brought his fist down on the desk and remarked: "Boys, boys, this wont do. I shall have to send you from the room." Both clerks seemed paralyzed for a moment; then Mr. Aitnow tied from the room,' his face red and per spiration streaming from every pore. Mr. Dickey gave the judge a comical look, sat down and went to writing. At the .irand. "The Lights o' London" drew a crowded house at the Grand last evening, and in the rear of the theater many people stood. The play was put on in an elegant manner, and drew forth much applause. The scenic effects are grand in the extreme, aud could not well be improved upon. Of the com pany itself too much cannot be said. There is not a poor player in it, and in several cases some of them were called to the foot lights after the curtain went down. The play is a thrilling one in all its details, and wa* put on in the best possible manner. Same bill to-night and Wednesday, with Wednesday matinee. v ■ r< -.'<-_ at La Crosse. Special to the Glone.

Koenig's wife and children, whom he de serted, live in this city, and papers in a suit for divorce were served upon him by his wife at the jail to-night His parents are highly esteemed. Iteception Postponed. It had been the intention of the Press club to give a reception this evening to the clergy of the city, with two papers, pre senting respective views on the relations of press and pulpit, but it was ascertained yesterday that the duties connected with the week of prayer would make it impossi ble for many of the ministers to be present, much as they desired it. Accordingly it was decided to postpone the reception to next Tuesday night. ALL SORTS. Vernona Jarbeau feels only pity for Will Burwell when he says she is too old to be in teresting.
