MINNEAPOLIS Additional City News oh the sth Page.. THE LAW IS NEEDED. A case that forcibly illustrates the need of a law prohibiting the sale of to bacco to boys is related in another col umn. A man who has been selling cig arettes to school children threatens to sue a police officer and a principal of a school because they attempted to pre vent boys from visiting his place, where they purchased the cigarettes and smoked them, upon' the ground that his business had been damaged. The case is not a remarkable one, bnt is particularly applica ble to the. situation as showing the want of a law which will allow the exercise of some authority to restrain a wernicious practice. The sight of boys who are so young that they can hardly talk plainly, smoking the deadly cigar ette.has become so common as to create but little comment, too little, by far. The terrible effect of tobacco upon children especially does not need to be pointed out, but the argument has been used that it will do no good to pass a prohibitory law; that "boys will be boys," etc.; and the case cited admira bly serves to show that a law is really needed. _«. THE GARNISHMENT LAW. The Lucas lien law, as applied to gar nishment of wages, has been found un constitutional by the courts. The law was based upon the theory that if a man's homestead should be exempt from attachment a man's daily wages should be also exempt, as the majority of workingmen do not own their homes, and their daily wages are necessary for existence. This law, which practically abolished the act of garnishment as ap plied to workingmen, was taken ad vantage of by too many to escape the payment of just debts to prove satis factory. At all events, it has been de clared unconstitutional, and the old gar nishment law, which exempts $20 of wages from attachment, is in force. Now it is proposed to exempt three months' wages. This seems to be impracticable and undesirable, as the limit should be placed upon the amount that is neces sary to secure reasonable protection to the debtor, not upon the time in which lie may earn much or little. The mat ter is an important one, affecting both merchants and workingmen, and should be given a more thorough and general consideration than it appears to be receiving. a "RELIEVED THEMSELVES. A. T. Ankeny— l think perhaps that a mistake has been made, as a Globe correspondent claims, in providing too large school houses for sparsely settled portions of the city. Still, it is not an easy matter to decide always just what provision should be made for a growing cily like this. Another thing it costs but little more to b uild a three story school house than a two-story one, and this often looks like extravagance when it is really not. However, I think the best plan is to build for present needs, and have the buildings so con structed that additions can be made as more room is required. J. P. McGaugbcy— l sometimes doubt the policy of inviting the clergy and others to speak in behalf of the shortening of the hours of labor. Where there is so much talk confusion of ideas always arises. What the workingmen should do is simply to refuse to work more than eight hours. That's all they have got to do. Ace P. Abell— l mean to maintain what dignity belongs to my court even if it be only ten dollars' worth. The Aberdeen Paragrapher— ls this cold enough for you? AN EXCEPTION. A Young Woman Pleads Guilty to Vagrancy. hwßj I Jennie Clark, a well-dressed, good looking young woman about twenty live years of age, pleaded guilty to being a vagrant in the municipal court yesterday morning. She had come over from St. Paul the night before with a friend, she explained, and at supper drank a glass of milk and immediately lost consciousness. She did not know how long she remained so, but on awakening found herself in a Chinese laundry on First avenue south. The officers said she had also been put out of the Union depot for promiscuous beg ging aiuijshc was found later wander ing about the streets with her clothing disananged, when it was thought best to lock her up. She is one of the very few women ever charged with vagrancy in that court, for it seldom happens that a woman is so improvident as to have no regular stopping place. The fine was $50 or sixty days in the work house. "Please don't send me to the workhouse, judge; send me to the Good Shepherd's, please." she pleaded, but the court can not commit to that place and she went to the workhouse. A CONFERENCE OF BAPTISTS. A Well-Attended Meeting at the First Baptist Church. The Baptist mission meeting at the First Baptist church yesterday morning was well attended, notwithstanding the cold weather. The subject discussed was "Foreign Missions." Rev. F. G. Field made a short address. He was followed by Rev. 11. C. Mabie, who talked of the London missionary con ference. In the afternoon Mrs. J. H. Randall, of St. Paul, made an address on "Woman's Work in Missions," and Dr. Ashmore spoke on "The Need of Foreign Fields." Hon. George A. Pillsbury presided at the evening ses sion, and William Upcraft and George Warner, missionaries to China, made short addresses. JOHN~FLYNN DEAD. The President of the Horseshoers' Union Dies of Pneumonia. John Flynn, president, of the Minne apolis Horseshoers' union, died at St. Barnabas' hospital yesterday morning of pneumonia after au illness of only a week. The funeral will be held Sun day afternoon under tne^uspices of the horseshoers' union. Flynn's relatives reside in Canada, and were notified of his death. "Jack" Flynn, as he was familiarly called, was well known in Minneapolis, where he had many friends, and as the body lay at Con nelly's undertaking rooms yesterday a large number of those who knew him called in to see the body. "Jack" al ways had a pleasant word for every one, and was generous to a fault. The Y. M. C. A. Entertainment. The rooms of the railway branch of the Young Men's Christian association on Second street south, near Nicollet avenue, were well filled last evening, when an entertainment commemorative of the birth of George Washington was given. The programme was made up of vocal and instrumental music, read ings, recitations and short addresses, an 1 the evening was indeed a pleasant one. * The Minneapolis Provision Co. Sliow in their market, on Third avenue Bouth, the finest assortment of Meat and Game ever seen under one roof in the Northwest.

His Birthday Quietly But Gen erally Observed by Patri otic Minneapolitans. V Fidelity to Truth the Charac teristic Chiefly Eulogized by His Admirers. The Chrysanthemums Toast Him Royally as Their Pa tron Saint, While the Favored Sons of Ananias Chant Paeans to His Memory. I Washington's birthday was quietly observed, the most noteworthy celebra tion of the day being on the part of the weather. Banks, courts, public offices and schools were closed, and in the evening there were numerous bails and parties that robbed the day of the Sab bath-like quiet that otherwise would have characterized it. 7 THE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. A Newspaper Social Organization 1 oasts Its Patron Saint. The Chrysanthemum club held its first annual Washington's birthday banquet at Taylor's restaurant last night. It was a very elaborately ar ranged affair, and everything about it was calculated to suggest thoughts on the patron^ saint of the club, who was also the father of his country, and a fair amateur wood chopper. The menu cards bore an excellent iikeness of the great and good man in whose honor the feast was given. The bill of fare contained many appropriate dishes, including Washing ton pie, Washington cake and Martha Washington breakfast rolls. There was no suggestion, however, of Washington in the soup. The merry party of al leged journalists who compose the ag gregation began to gather in the ban quet hall at about midnight, and the beer arrived soon after. The food and drink lasted far into the morning, and as the joy water began to excite and stimulate the large, powerful thinkers of these apostles of truth, the master of ceremonies arose, and in a graceful way alluded tothe exaggerated veracity of the immortal George, and to the great love of fact which had caused the members of the club to band them selves together in the name of truth to do honor to the memory of the hero of the Delaware ferry boat and cherry tree incidents. As he commenced to read the list of toasts he was interrupted by a loud howling from the half dozen sole surviving body-servants of "Massa Gawge," who had been imported at no inconsiderable expense to serve as wait ers "for one night only." They hadn't received their pay as yet and were cheering their leader who had proposed a strike. A bottle of Milwaukee wine pacified them for a time and the chair man proceeded. The first toast was "Our Patron Saint," "He could not tell a lie." and was responded to with much feeling by J. Ames Gray, journalist.* L. Berrisford Little responded to the toast, "Editorial Misrepresentation," and in a breezy North Dakota kind of speech referred to such as a public ne cessity in political campaigns.. "Rep ortorial Inaccuracies" was delicately handled by G. Augustus Caven, of the Tribune. * . . . --y J. McGnire Roes, representing the bar, talked about seven-quarters of an hour on "Professional Prevaricators." He mentioned all the well-known legal lights of the past and present and mado a very creditable address, showing a large acquaintance with both written and unwritten fiction. J. Torrance Mannix made the speech of the evening in replying to the toast, j "Unreliable informants; we take what- | ever the God's may send." Mr. Man- ; nix's large experience and keen wit served him well, but with that consci entious earnestness, which is such a predominating quality in his character, he refrained from any of those personal allusions and local anecdotes, which, while they would have added much of spice and interest to the speech, must needs have wounded some. The other toasts responded to were: "Truth as an Advertising Ingredient," H. Chalmondely Davis ; "G. Washing ton as a Hand Ball Player," S. Pensive Jones; "Children and Fresh Reporters, Tell the Truth," A. Smithson Gening; "A Plain, Unvarnished Tale," J. Sen timental Van Antwerp; "Truth in Pol itics; Some of Its Effects," R. H. Kent Whitely. SONS OP ANANIAS Hold. Their Annual Meeting and Elect Officers. Flour City Lodge No. 45, Honorable Sons of Ananias, after the custom of their order, held their annual election at high noon on Washington's Birthday. The list of officers for' lßß9 is ar follows: Grand Exalted Falsifier, Joseph H. Murch; Grand Vice Falsifier, J. R. Shibley; Past Grand Master of Fiction, F. E. Nimocks; Worshipful Liar, P. H. Gibbons. Brownie Wallace, who had 37 votes, claimed a miscount and contested the election of Gibbons as worshipful liar, and by order of Grand Exalted Falsifier the question was settled by a kind of civil service competitive examination, the contestants being required to re count fanciful tales of their personal ad ventures and prowess, he who excelled in this to be awarded the office with all the privileges and appurtenances there unto appertaining. Atthe close of the third round Wallace fainted, and the delighted board of judges placed the badge of office, a long bow and a lyre, on the proud breast of the victor. By a rising vote all members of the city council who have broken reform and retrenchment pledges to the people were elected honorary members. -y "7 LITTLE HATCHET MARKS. The Washington rink, which should havo been the scene of gay festivities, was draped in mourning in honor of the departure of its old manager, Brownie Wallace, who, having been defeated in a fibbing match, packed up his collar box and departed for St. Joseph, Mo. At, the Washington house, on Sixth street northeast, a choice coterie of con genial spirits gathered around the big box stove in the rotunda and swapped lies about the early days of Minneapolis until the romantic and frigid birthday of the first president of the United States had faded iuto the prosaic 23d of February. The teachers in the Washington school busied their brains all day long trying to Invent means of impressing upon the little ones the value and ad vantages of truth and honesty, all the time forcing the innocents into petty falsehoods by close questioning as to be havior. But one dry goods firm in Minneapolis had patriotism enough yesterday to fly the stars and stripes. A man who. judging from his appear ance, was a workman, was seen loiter ing around the new postoffice building yesterday. A detail of police was sent out to look him up, but he had gone \ when the "coppers" reached the build ing. ***■-••-: This is Washington's treat, said a citizen of New Boston to a friend as the: two turned to the right from Fifth street northeast yesterday afternoon, and they had walked up Washington street nearly three blocks before the man addressed' realized that he had been the victim of a pun and that the treat was on him. -: A number of railroads remembered the day reverently by advertising re- ; THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SATTJEDAY MOBNING, FEBRUARY 23, 1889. —TWELVE PAGES.

The programme of the evening was opened by an address of welcome from the president of the society. Misses Frenstad and Wahrendorph entertained the company with their charming voices in duets and solos. The turners to the number of sixteen, gave an exhibition in fancy turning and other branches of their art. Misses Haiback and Harbitz delighted their audience with the per formance of the farce entitled "En nat i Roskelle." A supper of goodly things for the inner man was served and was followed . by speeches from several prominent members. The committee of arrangements consisted ot F. A. Husher, A. C'Haugan, S. E. Olsen, C. ElliiiKsen, K. Illstrup, T. Dahl and C. Illstrup. Washburn post, G. A. R., gave a mas querade ball at Thompson's hall. It was well attended and . was a happy affair. Minneapolis lodge 102, Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen, held its fourth an nual ball at Labor temple last night. Music and dancing were the events of the evening. Refreshments were served by the Ladies' Paotective* union. Levi Butler post, G. A. R., gave a very pleasant evening to those who gatnered to celebrate George Washing ton s birthday in the evening. The ball was a pleasant one and was much en joyed. A MOTHER'S DEVOTION. In a Den of Infamy She Watches by Her Sick Boy. On a cot at St. Barnabas' hospital lies a young man who has a somewhat strange history. There is no need of giving his true name, as he has friends here, and his nearly heartbroken mother is in the city, waiting for her boy to gain strength enough to be taken home to lowaJT Some live years ago Parkhurst (that name will do as well as his true name) was given some $10,000 by his mother to go to St. Paul and set himself up in business. Instead of going there the young man went West,and for a time wrote home regularly, telling of his whereabouts. Finally his letters ceased altogether, and for nearly two years his mother mourned him as dead. A day or so ago she received a telegram from him telling her to come to Minneapolis, where he was dying. Sue came, and found the wreck of her once handsome son in a disreputable place on Ninth avenue south, near Washington, where he had been taken to die. She at once went to him, determined to watch by him until he died or was in a condition to be removed, lt was evening when she found him. She , had been sitting by his side for an hour or so when two women of tho town, accompanied by several roughs, entered the place, determined to make a night of it. They tried to make . the sick man drink whisky and beer, but were pre vented from carrying out their designs by the mother. All there was to eat was some stale bread. A negro woman living near by invited the mother tp go to her house and get a cup of coff *c, but the mother refused, being afraid to ~ v leave her son. There she sat all night long, while in the same room the drunken men and women were holding their orgies. The poor woman prayed tor daylight to come, not daring to close her eyes for fear. When morning came she was worn out, but managed to at tract the attention of a passer-by, who called assistance, and the young man removed to the hospital. The mother went to the home of a friend, and wHI go home with her son as soon as he is able -to travel. She came here expect ing to take him home in a coffin. JUST IN TIME. An lucident That Shows the Need of an Anti-Tobacco Law. Isaac Thickett is the keeper of a small notion store on West Twenty-sixth street, opposite the Whittier school. The principal of the school complained some time ago to the police that Thickett was selling cigarettes to small school boys, . and that the children were in the habit of loafing there at , . recess and noon times smoking cigarettes in the back room of the shop. License In spector Ray went to the place, found the boys there smoking, and, after giv ing them a good lecture, warned them not to buy cigarettes nor smoke them there any more, and said to some of them : "If you can't go there ■ without buying cigarettes and loafing aronnd the store, don't go there." Now Thickett, who sells paper, pen cils and school supplies/brings a suit against Ray for $1,000, claiming that the latter's action has injured his trade to that extent. He also threatens to sue the principal of the school, a iady, by the way, for injuring his business (?) becs^e she tries to prevent young boys from smoking. The incident may serve to point out the desirability of the enactment of the bill introduced in the legislature by Senator Swensen prohibiting the sale of tobacco to boys under sixteen years of : age which has passed the committee of: the whole." As it is here is really no law to prevent Thickett or anyone else from selling cigarettes to children or to prevent the children from buying and smoking them, and at present it is a question whether or no an officer of the law had any authority to interfere even at the request of the principal of the school. ' yy/yr VETERANS' BALL. Company G, Third Regiment, Cel ebrated the Day — A Successful Affair. The military ball given by Company ' G,* Third reiriment Minnesota National Guards, veterans of the late war, at Armory hall last evening was a be fitting memorial to Washington's birthday. The first exercise of the evening was an exhibition drill by the company at 9:30, which showed that the veterans had -not forgotten their drill of the war times, and it was loudly applauded by the guests-assem bled to witness it. When the drill was over the dancing began. The pro gramme consisted of eighteen numbers. Supper was served at 10:30 by the ladies of Plummer Post hall.

Tlie First of a Series Jof : Meetings to Shorten Labor's Hours. » A DAY'S NATURAL DIVISION. Arguments Not Especially New * Are 1 Forcibly and Eloquently Presented I by Leading Speakers. 11-' l * Harmonia hail was comfortably filled last night by an audience composed < of workingmen * and women from all branches of labor, who met in response to the call for a mass meeting to discuss the eight-hour question. \ Several lead ing labor men were on the stage, among then T. M. Brosnau, J. P. McGaughey, H. B. Marten, J. 'H. Hills, George Ledgerwood, T. H. Lucas, Herman Ash and S. G. Comee; also Rev. James Mc- Golrick and Rev. Christopher Jansgn. ! At- 8 o'clock George Ledgerwood, . president of the executive committee, called the meeting to order, and after stating the purpose , of the meeting, in troduced as the first speaker H. B. Mar ten, editor of the -Northwestern Labor Union. Mr. Marten alluded to the largo number -of idle people who are willing to work but unable to ■procure employment, and claimed that an eight-hour day for the ' la boring people, giving them more leis ur for mental and moral culture, ap pealing to the people to interest them selves in the movement and pointing out the necessity for some intelligent action on the part of the industrial classes, and that .'an agitation for an eight-hour day in all branches of trade is a simple and necessary step to rem edy the existing condition of affairs. > A SCANDINAVIA""** ADDKESS. ;: :7- Rev. Kristofer Jansen spoke briefly in Scandinavian of the present degraded and oppressed condition: of the laboring classes, and the prejudice and misun derstandings between employers and help. That many employers forget that all men are born free and equal, and "that the worKing classes must have an opportunity to study the present condi tion of affairs in order to agree upon an intelligent understanding. The eight hour movement is a step in the right direction ;,members of both sexes, and of all branches of trade, should join in the work. Among those who are helping in the work of reform in various directions are Henry George, Father McGlynn, Hugh Pentecost and others, who are anxious to see the work ing classes arrive at an intelligent un derstanding of the present economic condition. The gentleman spoke in a witty and sprcastic manner, and was warmly applauded. BEY. JAMES M'OOLRICK said: "I am glad of an opportunity to express my sentiments in a meeting of this sort. Coming from a land where laborers were obliged to plod from early morn till late at night to earn a bare livelihood, 25 cents a day was often the day's wages; where, on the other hand, were the palaces of tliose who lived in idleness and luxury, and rode rough shod over the people, it is then a great pleasure to address a meeting of free people, who have resolved to ask of em ployers an eight-hour day, and wages sufficiently to live comfortably. A tew years ago political economists claimed that the labor market must not be -dis turbed by labor agitation. Now 'the people know better, and are endeavor ing to progress in the right direction; but when 1 see men able and willing to work, and unable to find it, then 1 -say the nineteenth century is not a pro gressive one, for, in spite of inventions and science, labor is in a deplorable condition. - When the ten-hour agita tion began it encountered great opposi tion, but : J y■ * : - - • >'-*•: TITE TIME IS NEAR Jii! ; when an eight-hour day will "be -the rule. At the present time 1 find "the non-producer living in a palace and* the producer living in a hovel. -The most that ought to be exacted from any man in justice and equity is eight hours, whether it be mental or physical labor, leaving eight hours for sleep and an equal time for « recreation and study. 1 am not • • opposed to capital in its . legitimate place, but at the same time the workingmen must organize tor self-protection. There are even times when strikes are justifi able. It is because the question is not understood that employers of labor op pose this movement. The employer has a moral obligation to see that his help are comfortably housed and well fed. By careful organization and intelligent action the laboring people will be able to accomplish the * eight-hour move ment. HON. T. H. "LUCAS thought . the ministers snowed the proper spirit in coming on the public platform to discuss labor reform. "Our forefathers founded our present govern ment as a protest against oppression and tyranny in older countries. . It was intended that all men should be equals, but they allowed a competitive system to creep in and allowed some to obtain a great advantage over others by.pri vate ownersuip of land. It is on ac count of these abuses that we gather here to-night. There is room for all without encroaching on the liberties of others. Some men have .become enormously wealthy at the expense of others, causing poverty and suffering among workers. Nothing can be gained by force, but all by intelligent and rea sonable action. We want the privileges of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness. We don't want to injure, the rich, but we want a portion of our God-given rights. This eight-hour movement is not a. new one. for 400 years ago the members of guilds worked only eiaht hours. The Masonic lodges teach the eight-hour doctrine, but its members are apt to for get it when they become employers of labors. . The eight-hour movement is only a step in the right direction, but when that is taken, we will be ready for another step. The speaker gave a list of statistics showing ths Increase of lawyers, liquor dealers and government officials, while at the same time labor was being displaced by labor-sav ing machinery, and claimed that all in creased salaries were taken from the products of the people's labor. . 7. j. p. m'gaughet was greeted by a round of applause as he stepped forward. In the course of his remarks he said: 77 1 "The working people have a perfect right to say just how many hours they will work. The establishment of ah eight-hour day is a step toward solving the labor problem. 1 believe that the two hours would be spent in study, not' in the saloon.- I don't believe that all the present evils are the fault of em ployers. They are simply the logical result of the illogical basis of our pres ent system. Carroll D. Wright says that in 1885 there were 1,000,000' idle! people, and their number has largely: increased during the past four years. Benjamin Franklin said "that, in his -7 day four hours j per day would produce enough to support; any population. The inventions audi application of machinery makes that argument still more forcible to-day." o Mr. McGaughey quoted many in stances where even women- and little children work from twelve to fourteen hours a day, and the tendency is dan gerous. . • . .-; "'■ "A shortening of hours has always caused an awakening of intelligence in? any craft where applied. Under the present simplified means of production a reduction of hours is a necessity and will furnish employment* to the idle people. The. contemplated eight hour movement will ; : not take place ; for - fourteen months, in that time employers 7 can prepare . for the change. At the present =; time people who work long hours are the lowest in the intellectual, . moral and physical scale. Consular . reports show ■'. that a colony in Australia, where eight hours constitute a day's work, has the bright-; est and most intelligent people.7 Public opinion, and not statute law, should fix: the hours of labor. : The education be-! tween this time and May 1, 1890, will be : sufficient to accomplish this I movement J in a dignified and intelligent manner, P Herman Ash spoke briefly in a poeti cal strain of the advantages sof eight I hours.':'- y '.- _ _T"-'fr\' The meeting closed with a unanimous vote of thanks to : the speakers of the evening, especially the Rlergy. . _ AT FAIR OAKS. The Stately Mansion Thrown Open for a Worthy Cause. : Despite the severity of the weather last night Fair Oaks was crowded with the" guests to the J Artistic and Mu sical reception. y The Homeopathic hospital, in J which Mrs. Wash , burn is warmly interested, 7: was ; greatly in need of financial aid and with her characteristic benevolence Mrs. Washburn threw open her beauti ful home for its benefit, and well was the hospital and the kind lady repaid. At 7:30 the guests began to arrive, and early in the evening the mansion were {flooded with r them, over 500 : guests be ing received during the evening. The first , of the musical programme was a piano solo ; by Miss Means. The rendition was very fine, and the lady was brought ' back for a second number by her audience. George Fergjsonwas eagerly listened to and his voice received :-■■ the : compliments which Minneapolis people have learned to; heap upon it. The solo "Love's Sorrow," by Shelby, was sung with much expression by Miss Julia May, and was received as Miss May is always received, with much pleasure by her audience. 7 Miss . Nellie Mowry at the piano, accompanied by Prof. Aamold on the violin, was enthusiastically received and 7 was enchored several times. As J she had the next place on the programme in the solo, "Aria— O, mio Fernando, by Donzetti, Miss Mowry was the '"chief musician of the evening, and very much •pleased the company."

Owing to the number present it was impossible for all to see It, and there was some talk of a matinee for this afternoon for the benefit of ladies and children.- * 7; .

Many people were greatly pleased to get to see the mag nificient house and furnishings.
