INSTANTLY KILLED.
The Wife of Mathias Haver Fa
tally Injured by the Discharge
or ii Gun in Her Husband's
Hand.
Mathias Haver. a German laborer,
lived with his wife and four small
children hi a two-room shanty on the
extension of Fairfield avenue, known as
the old Mendota road. Their oldest
child is only eleven years of age and
the youngest is scarcely a year old.
About 'o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Haver was shot in the head and
instantly killed by a gun in the hands
of her husband, whether accidentally or
intentionally, i- not known. The shoot
ing first became known to the police
when Haver appeared at the central sta
tion about 8 o'clock, accompanied by
August Edolf. one of his neighbors, and
surrendered himself. Be is a German.
of Bavaria, and docs not understand
English; having landed at Castle Garden
on "the l'.tli -of last August, with
liis family and household effects, lie
told, through an interpreter, some con
flict i<i_ tales regarding the shooting and
was very much excited. He said first
that he was cleaning the gun in the
kitchen, not knowing that it was loaded.
and that she was close by him at the
wash tub when the gun was

He said afterward that the gun was
Standing in a corner between two bar
rels of Miner kraut, and when he under
took to move one of the barrels the gun
was discharged.
The house, which stands directly be
low tin- bluff, is surrounded by a wicker
fence which incloses about eight feet of
{space in front. The floor of the main
room where Mrs. Haver was doing the
family washing was flooded with her
blood. ami the snow about
the gate in front of the
bouse was soaked with blood.
Hatter's explanation of this is
that after in- shot her he pulled her
outside to the gate to give her air, but
there were no signs of blood on the path
leading into the house. Through the j
lower pane of gla-s in the window. ;
looking out of tiie room toward the j
street, i- pierced a single hole about half
ah inch in diameter, apparently made
by a bullet or large-sized shot. The j
wire netting protecting the window.
through which the ball also passed, is
bent outward, showing that the shot was
fired from within. The gun was a single
barrel breech-loader. It is evident from
the nature of the wound that it was
made by a charge of shot. The upper
left side of the woman's face is almost
entirely torn away, and all the fractures
are
IIORRIRIA MUTILATED.
Tin* ball which passed through the win
dow was probably a stray shot. .John
Stoeger. .1;.. a young German living
next door, was called to the place by
Haver' cries shortly after the shooting.
When he arrived the woman was lying
dead at the gate. Matt Echenger, .1.
Holm and August Edolf. living in the
Vicinity, all arrived inside of two min
utes, attracted by Hatter's cries. They
picked the body up and carried it back
into the house .'and. at Edoifs sugges
tion, Haver -tatted at once to the cen
tral station to give himself up. John
Stoeger. Sr., an old man, was a
fellow - townsman of the Haver*
iii the old country, and says they lived
happily toirether. Mrs. Haver was
thirty-three years old. and her maiden
name was Barbara Schramer. None of
the neighbors ever knew of any trouble
between llauer and his wife. Coroner
Quinn visited the place at once and had
the body removed to A'olk's undertaking
establishment on Dakota avenue, when*
an iuquest will be held at 12 o'clock to
morrow.

Photographer— Dude Mustaches.
,T!c number of cranks in the world is
not on the decrease by any means, but
on the contrary one runs across new
_-*e_ks of these eecehtric people at every
turn. A Globe reporter had wandered
into a well known photograph gallery
and stood gazing at the collection about
tlie rooms hen the proprietor appeared.
lie had in his hand a large photograph
of a pretty young lady, which he pro
ceeded to "tit into a cute, fashionable
frame and hang on the wall. The pict
ure was quite an attractive one. a
very pretty profile, set off by a mass of j
wavy hair* The neck, shoulders and a |
small portion of the back were perfectly j
bare, and no vestige of clothing could |
be" seen save the corner of a light, i
fleecy wrap |»eepfng out from under the
left arm. The work had been faithfully
executed and the scribe looked upon as j
pretty a neck and pair of shoulders as ;
oue sees in a month.
'•Is the young lady an actress?" he in- j
quired when the proprietor had adjusted
the frame.
'•(Hi. no," lie replied, gazing on his
work with evident admiration," "she is a
resident of Minneapolis and comes from j
a good family. The idea of having their j
pictures taken this way has developed j
into quite a craze,though none but those '
.raving handsome shoulders and necks j
aw afflicted with it. A woman •
who has pretty personal charms is j
always glad to exhibit them, at least 1
have found it so in my business. Many
of them are not satisfied with appearing
at a full dress ball, but must have their
beauty indelibly impressed on card
board. They are not at all bashful in
expressing their own delight over these
photograph*', and often implore me to
make the pictures Hatter them as much
as possible. Many of them are timid
about expressing their wains and al
ways

with them. You would be surprised to
know to the extremes some of them go
to in order to have their beauty thus ex
hibited, and you know tliere is always
a certain amount of excuse in a photo
graph. Many have extremely pretty
wet, and often have them taken, though
•some do not stop at the shoe top. But I
don't wish to ruin my business by giv
ing it away. i derive a handsome reve
nue from this source of photography. i
seldom hear, however, of these pictures
being distributed amongst friends.''
"What one kind of cranks do you
meet with'""
"Well, take, for instance, a young
fellow aud his sweetheart. They* come
in hesitatingly and, after about a fifteen
minutes' struggle, I get out of them
that they desire to nave a 'kroeked
head" picture taken. Don't you know
what a 'krocked-head' photograph' is.
"We", they si: alongside of each other.
with their heads together, their cheeks
resting on against another. I am
always Instructed to destroy the nega- I
tive, as in the case of the other ones. '■
Only the other day a young fellow and
bis girl came '" and had a 'kroeked- \
head' taken. They did not stop at this. ;
but had another struck off where he I
Was- in the act of kissing her. Nor
did they stop here. but sat
on the sola there and had another
one taken with Ins arms thrown about
her. as though king love to her. We
have lots of these kinds, but they rarely
take over a hall dozen conic:*. 1 charge
full fare, however. Then we have
another kind of crank in the person of
the young dude with a little. London
fog mustache. lie wants his phiz taken
for the sole purpose of showing that
mustache, and invariably says: 'I am
running a race ""-with a friend of mine
down East, and want you to make the
mustache show up as "heavily as you
can.' If I make his picture sport a
handsome mustache, he is willing to pay
almost anything."
•('an it be done?"
"Certainly. By a little artistic work
we can transform one of these little.
fuzz gatherings into a respectable mus
tache, and give the original quite a
manly appearance. Many of these
young dudes also want their photos
taken in theatrical costume and heroic
position. The young ladies are also
afflicted this way. Many hire costumes
and grease paints, and fix themselves in
all sorts of outlandish dress, just to sit
for a picture. Girls of the demi-monde
stripe often come in. and have their
pictures taken in tights. This is a com
mon occurrence."

From among the real estate men
(1.940 has been collected and the com
mittee expects to collect as much from
the association as last year. The special
committee on carnival grounds was out
yesterday selecting the sites for the
rinks, slides, Indian village, etc. Per
mission has been obtained from the
property owners and the city will
lie asked to vacate half the street for the
toboggan slide, which will be about 300
feet longer than last year. About the
same idea will be carried out, though
the committee will endeavor to secure
all the novelties possible and the dis
play in this direction will be larger than
usual. The fence will be higher this
year as it is a protection demanded by
the property owners. All the stock, it
said, will be subscribed in ten days, if
the people will do as the real estate
board has done. . *

FOR A MIXED CLUB.
A Young* Man Believes a Club for
Ladies and Gentlemen ' Is
Needed.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Some time ago I saw in your paper
the subject broached of a club house, or
club rooms, for young men and ladies,
a place where they could nice! on an
equal footing, get acquainted and have
a pleasant place to pass their evenings,
with lunch room combined, I was in
hopes this thing would be pushed, and
some action taken for the long evenings
now coming on by some of the citizens
who have tlie welfare of young people
at heart. An institution of this kind
could very easily be made self-support
ing by a system of dues and fines, etc.
and would be the means of good incal
culable. lam a young man in the city,
situated like hundreds of others. 1 have
a room, get my meals at a
restaurant, and " live along in
the hopes that sometime things
will be different; but when we get
through with our day's work the ques
tion comes up. "Where shall I go this
evening?" Generally our range of ac
quaintances is very limited, and for
want of some place to go we go down
town; any where and 'where, we
say. to Kill time, so for this reason
many of us are found in society and
places that we would be ashamed to
have any of our friends find us, and
ashamed of ourselves for being there.
You ask why* we go there. It i- simply
because we have no place to spend our
evenings. What we need is nice com
modious rooms, a small library, papers,
games, etc., and we can meet", talk and
get acquainted with each other, and a
nice, pleasant place to pass our evening*".
I wish, Mr. Editor, you would publish
this, and other young men And ladies
would give expression of their views oh
the subject. 1 have talked with many'
and all express themselves very much
in favor of it. Pans or the Boys.

WOULD YOU WED A LADY?
Things to be Done and Things
Better to Leave Undone.
Make yourself solid with the old folks
the very first clatter. It goes a long
way towards giving you a footing in the
household.
Call the old gentleman "papa." It
won't hurt you and will affect the lady
powerfully for your own good.
If the mother of the lady is handsome
remark as frequently as opportunity
presents itself, the striking resemblance
she hears to her maternal ancestor. If
otherwise, switch on the old man. If
neither is good looking, bank on some
back-number relative. .~ ';„ *
If you value your life never attempt
to sing. If you sing badly yon are
ruined: if you sing well you are apt to
overdo it and incur the enmity of the
folks nex door.
It were more than imprudent to in
troduce the subject of age. If you are
so unfortunate as to let your tongue get
the start of you, remember that ladies
stop aging at eighteen, so keep within
that limit.
Agree, with your girl in everything,
though you know she is dead wrong
nine times out of ten. 1 have passed
many a chilly evening just for the bar
ren victory of putting in my oar.
A quarter or a half dollar lavished on
the irrepressible small boy of the family
has often been known to be a preventa
tive of at least *j-T dollars worth of disa
greeable explanation.
Ascertain as soon as possible the rela
tives, immediate and remote, of your
dear one. 1 advise this because many a
poor fellow has wandered into a story in
which he foolishly characterized a cer
tain man as a thief and scoundrel of the
first water, not knowing that that cer
tain man was a first cousin of his would
be partner for life. Result— es
trangement.
Never extend your visits beyond mid
night, else the old gentleman may drop
around some evening and make you real
tired with his bitter allusions to gas
bills.
It is a terrible risk to venture a funny
story in company. Oppressive silence
may follow your side-splitting recital.
You can imagine your predicament in
case there is no lire escape.
Serenaders with mouth organs, jews
lurrps, banjos, etc., in the evening are
foolhardy, not to say dangerous. Men
have been known to leave their homes
armed with a guitar and buoyant spirits
to wake the night with their dulcet
strains, never to have returned. Others
have come back mangled and bloody,
having failed to convince the neighbor
ing bull dog that his presence was ab
solutely necessary to the peace and en
joyment of the outraged community.
Still a few have dragged their wet and
soggy forms back to their little man
sions, the odor arising from their weary
frames smacking strongly of dishwater.
These are but a few of the considera
tions that impel me to strongly dis
countenance any innovation on a field
■retry creditably covered for some time
back by the festive torn cat.
Lavish expenditures on gifts is sheer
folly. Save your stuff until after the
binding ceremony is over. You will
then have ample opportunity for throw
ing away your money, I assure you.
when a girl insinuates to you that it
i- her intention of entering a convent,
quit her at once. It were positively
cruel to offer a barrier to her vaulting
ambition. Such women usually wind
up by marrying a gray-haired widower
with live of a family.
When the time comes to pop the ques
tion, approach the subject not like one
"who wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleasant
dreams."' nor yet "with the cringing air
and fawning mien of those who ask for
princely favors,"' but manfully, some
thing after this style: "Maud," 1 love
you." "1 want you." "Can 1 have
you?*' If she says "No" there is a fight
ing chance still, but if she tells you that
she thinks the world of you and will al
ways be as a sister to you, take your hat
and go. The jig's up. M. J. D.
In Their New Rooms.
The members of the Irish American
club assembled at their new and ele
gant club room, corner of Ninth and
Minnesota streets, for the first time last
evening. There were about seventy
five present, and the tiresome ceremony
of introduction was unnecessary, as
each one seemed to be well acquainted
with his fellow members. The usual
pastimes of club rooms were indulged
in, and altogether a most enjoyable
evening spent. The following gentle
men were appointed as the bouse com
mittee: J. P. McGeehan, J. C. Horri
pran and Stephen Burns.
Garfield Post Election.
The regular election of officers for the
ensuing year was held by Garfield Post
No. S, ('. A. I!., last evening, with
the following result: George O. Austin,
post commander; George Hunter,
senior vice commander; J. B.
Souder, junior vice commander; J. S.
White, chaplain; Dr. Fischer, surgeon:
11. A. Morse, quartermaster; W. A.
Eyles, officer of the day; and W. A.
Johnson, officer of the guard. These
officers will bo publicly installed on the
li rst Saturday in January.
The Dime Museum.
Sackett & Wiggins, at the Dime mu
seum on Seventh street, present unus
ual attractions this week. No better
place for innocent recreation can be
found in St. Paul than the museum.
i The best of order is maintained, and.no
improper characters are admitted with
in the walls of the museum. From the
advertisement to be found elsewhere in
the Globe of to-day a list of the attrac
tions can be ascertained, and they will
be found a veritable list of amusing and
instructive wonders. '■•",'
At the Olympic.
The Olympic theater has enjoyed an
j other successful week's run, the crowds
apparently being well pleased with the
attraction presented. Manager Hilton
expects a repetition of the large patron
age the coming week, and states that
the Three ('olden Dorse Shoes Female
combination, that is to appear, contains
sonic quite clever people. The pro
gramme consists of an attractive female
scene, a novel olio and sensational after
piece.
A Plat for a Boulevard.
A plat of the Prospect boulevard along
the Mississippi, from the Fort Snelling
bridge to the county line, was presented
to the park commission yesterday. The
length of the drive is about three miles.

The General System Under
Which the Relief Society *
Does Its Work.
How the Organization Had Its
Origin— Some of Yester
day's Applicants.
Evidence of the Globe's good influ
ence in calling attention to the suffer
ing and want existing throughout the
poor population of the city and vicinity,
is being manifested on all sides, and
much misery has been relieved. The
extreme cases of destitution given pub
licity in its colums during the past week
have received prompt attention, and the
work of the society wonderfully aided
in the large bundles of clothin_ and
cash donations sent in. It has given the
society a good start for the winter, and
the officers are lavish in their praise of
the good accomplished.
One lady, Mrs. Knowles, from Fair
mount, Dak., writes:
"I have read of the misery existing in
St. Paul in the columns of the Globe,
and my heert aches for the little ones
thus so cruelly exposed. I send you
some clothes* and will send more as
soon as I can." - - •* -
Then followed a large bundle by ex
press, which arrived at the rooms while
the reporter was there yesterday. .It
contained lots of clean, warm flannels,
stockings and three thick dresses. This
is but a sample of the donations from
many kind hearts.
- . MOKE CASES. •.-:*>-. 1
On the corner of Fenton and Constaus
streets live John O'Toole and his wife.
They are very old people, and need pro
visions and clothing. The wife is
scarcely able to speak and is woefully
emaciated. They are not able to do
much for themselves, and deeply appre
ciate anything done for them.
A similar case is that of Michael Mc-
Mahen and wife, at 20(5 Lafond street.
The two are about sixty-five or seventy
years of age and very infirm, utterly un
able to help themselves.
At 203 Grant street, near Rice, lives a j
man by the name of Roberts, his wife
and three children. It is a neat little
home, and heretofore the family
lias lived nicely, and Mr. Roberta
ha"" bad a- good position as
painter. Some years ago an attack of
diphtheria left him deaf and dumb, and
for the last seven weeks he has been .
very ill with typhoid fever. Thus all '
their money has disappeared, and it was
only at the last moment that an appeal
for aid was sent in.
The Relief society is one of the few
associations of the kind that owns its
own building. It is quite a liaiulsinne
structure and stands on Ninth street,
near the corner of Jackson, as a monu
ment to the generosity of public spirited
citizens. It is dedicated exclusively to
public purposes, and works in connec
tion with the other benevolent organiza
tions of the city. The society tries to j
aid all the needy, irrespective of color,
creed or nationality; and for every kind '
and condition of suffering it has some i.
excellent side institution to aid it. From i
the infant to the aged, homeless wan
derer, the house of the Little Sister, of.
the Poor: Home for the Friendless, and
Ramsey county almshouse are always j
open. " For < middle aged women,
the rooms of the Christian Home '
afford security. and also the :
Young Girls* Home. For young men is 1
the right hand of fellowship iii all the
churches, the Y. M. C. A., Gospel Tem
perance union and St. Paul Bethel. For
yoimg girls the society has in its own
building the Industrial school, under
the direction of Mrs. Burbank, and for
a different class of girls have access to
the House of the Good Shepherd, an ex
cellent institution, Bootblacks and
newsboy-, and other boys, are welcomed
to the club-rooms under the charge of
"Miss Johnson, and for a different class
of boys there is the reform school. For
the little folks the society has a free
kindergarten, Miss Davey in charge,
and infants are cared for at the Found
ling's home.
For the sick arc the different hopitals, |
and for the sick poor the doors of the j
city hospital are always open' The poor
who are sick at their homes ran, on
short notice, have at their bedsides the
city doctor or his physicians. For all
the destitute who apply for wood or
provisions, and who are found worthy*,
the society meets with happy aid from
the time-honored board of control, whose
aid is indeed liberal and strengthening.
For aid on Dayton's bluff is found the
Dayton's Bluff Aid association, who fur
nish all that is needed in women's \
clothing, as do also the ladies of the
Ladies' auxiliary, who meet three times j
ii week. For advice Mr. Ilutchins is \
always welcomed by the mayor and city
attorney. Chief Clark furnishes the po
lice assistance for any branch of the j
work. Thus it will be seen that the j
system is complete and compares favor- !
ably with any, to say nothing of leading
the Northwest. The work should not I
be confounded with that of the city
missionary, who is hired exclusively by
the Ministers' association and has no

HOW IT started; ■■•.'* . ,~.r.
The organization of this society was
first mentioned by D. R. Noyes, ten
years ago. at a meeting of the V.M.C.A.",
of which he was president. E. L. Chase
was also one of the chief promotcrs'and
these two gentlemen are chiefly respons
ible for the project that has turned out \
so successfully. Mr. Hall's method of :
keeping the books is not only an orig- |
inal, but splendid one. Any director
can step in at any minute, find the nuim- \
lier of people aided, how. many times j
they have applied for aid, the nature of \
their distress, the value of the aid given j
them", their resilience and size of their
families. Mr. Hutchins, the genoral
agent, is not only required to investi
gate the eases reported, but must hunt
up cases of destitution. He is also sec
retary of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty: The officers of the society,
and members, are some of St. Paul's I
best citizens and take a deeper interest j
in their work than simply seeing their I
names on the letter head. All of them j
express themselves as wonderfully
pleased with the Globe's work and *iy j
that it has been of vast benefit to them. :
A New Fast Train, (
•'The Burlington" will run a fast
train daily, commencing Dec. 4, leaving
St. Paul at 7:30 p. m., arriving in Chi
cago at it:3o a. m. and St. Louis 5*20 p.
in. next day. equipped with elegant
coaches, dining cars and Pullman sleep
ers.
Metropolitan St. Paul.
St. Paul, for its size, has more "fine
sleighs'* than any city in the United
States. Long years ago the "old-fash
ioned buckboard" used in the summer
and the equally "old-fashioned bob-sled"' j
used in the winter was discarded for .
the "elegant" and fashionable "Russian
sleigh." In this respect St. Paul stands
second to none, and the most surprising
fact of all is that full nine-tenths of
these "elegant sleighs'* were supplied
by the old established firm of E. M. Hallo
well & Co. This concern is now exhibit
ing the largest and finest line of "fine
sleigh goods" ever, shown west of New .
York city. If you want a sleigh or cut- ■
ter go and inspect their stock at their
warerooms, "303 to 511 Minnesota street.
