AMUSEMENTS.
Again last night, in the presence of a
large audience at the Grand, Mme. Mod
jeska demonstrated her power and art
istic ability as an actress. The sad story
of Camilla Was the one that was told
on the boards. It was never better told.
Modjeska's characterization of the
Frenchwoman differs from tint of some ,
actresses, but it is none the less power
ful and effective. Her company appered
to the same excellent advantage that it
has during the entire engagement.
The Lyceum was the heme of enter
tainment—just simple entertainment
last night. Bill Nye. the hairless hu- i
morist, and A. P. Burbank. the reader, j
were the entertainers. The flavor of
Nye's humor is enhanced by Nye's ren
dition of it. Burbank's reputation as a
reader of both humorous ami pathetic,
or dramatic, selections is well known.
It does seem, however, that he might do
bis reputation no harm and do the pub- <
lie some good by dealing less in recita- I
tions that are, perhaps, revered more.but
liked less, on account of their age. On
the whole, the audience seemed im
mensely pleased and satisfied.

Insurance Men Again.
The insurance underwriters held an
other meeting yesterday afternoon.
Like several that this association lias
held before, it resulted in little. It was
called for the purpose of acting on a re
port of the committee appointed some
time ago to consider the revision of the
articles of agreement. As has been nar
rated in the Globe on several occasions,
the insurance men have been having a
good deal of trouble over the matter
of rebates. The allegation that some of
the agents have been employing real
estate men and agents of large build
ings as solicitors has also caused a deal
ct trouble. The committee was ready
to report in favor of abolishing the
rating committee and leaving the matter
of adjusting rates to the secretary, and
In favor of restricting the employment
of solicitors to two in number. But the
report could not be adopted. A 90 per ;
cent vote is necessary* for the adoption;
of any changes in the articles of agree- 1
ment, and enough agents to pass it did
not attend. It is thought that the report
Will be adopted.

The exposition board met yesterday
and adopted part of the report of the
amusement committee. The part adopt
ed recommended the engagement of the
limes band, of New York, for the com
ing exposition. The band will consist
of forty pieces, and will receive for its
work 17.100 and transportation ex
penses. The other recommendations of
the committee were tabled, as the board
was anxious to get to dinner. They
were that the following features be en
gaged: The Parisian carrousel, a sort
of a merry-go- round, to take the place
of the ponies; Eugenic Garetta, the bird

asking their views on the bill fathered
by Senator Washburn. A large num
ber of replies have been received. They
come from all parts of the Northwest
and from the best known wheat raisers
in the country. . Among those who have
replied are the bonanzo farmers Col. C.
A. Morton, of Fargo; Oliver Dalrymple
and J. F. Haskell. In over- twenty re
plies to the letters sent out bj the grain
men the sentiment against the bill is
unanimous.

The twelfth annual encampment of
the Department of Minnesota of the
G. A. U. opened at Harmonia hall yes
terday, with nearly five hundred dele
gates present. At 10 o'clock the meet
ing was called to order by Deputy
Commander Parker, and business was
begun. After the delegates had settled
in their seats and the roll had been
called. Commander Parker announced
the appointment of committees as fol
lows:

A telegram was read from Past De
partment Commander James Eire, of
Hot Springs, Ark., announcing that he
was greatly improved in health. De
partment Commander Parker presented
his annual report and address, which
made quite a voluminous document.
He expressed his high appreciation of
the honor of his office, and referred to
the many cares and responsibilities
which it entailed, and the man] pleas
ures which it brought. He reviewed
the numerous camp fires which he had
attended, the many miles he had trav
eled iv making his visits, and the many
reunions at which he had been present.
Referring to the true
Purpose of the G. A. K.
he said :
"It is not, as some suppose, a mere
matter of sentiment. It is the noble aim
of diffusing among our soldier citizens,
and their sons who are fast filling their
places, that spirit of true patriotism and
fealty to republican institutions without
which no republic has strength or length
of days, It is the greatest civic organ
ization known to the world. • Upon its
roll of membership in ly be found more
than 400.000 honorably discharged sol
diers and sailors who. during the term of
their service, ranked from the general ot
the army down to the humblest and
most obscure private soldier. Within
the sacred precincts of our post rooms
sit side by side the merchant prince and
his clerk, the millionaire and the day
laborer, and men of nearly all nation
alities, bound each to the other and
known now to each other simply and
only as comrades."
He went on to state that he had per
sonally visited 150 of the 187 posts in the
state and had required of each vice com
mander a report showing in detail the
work done. The condition of the de
partment he reported as strong both
financially and numerically.
During the year there were held
twelve district encampments,- and on
this subject he said:
"These. encampments are sources of
great good in this department as well as
of great pleasure to the comrades and
their families. - So far I- know Minne
sota is, with perhaps one or two excep
tions, the only state holding these en
campments. I believe in them most
thoroughly, and think they should be
enc ourazed by the department officers
and by every comrade who loves his
ellow co made and has the interest of
the department at heart."
He touched upon the national en
campment in the following manner:
"On. to Washington," continued the
commander, "is now the cry. and wiMi
favorable transportation arrangements
it is believed that more comrades will
again touch elbows in marching broad
Pennsylvania avenue than have ever
stood shoulder to shoulder upon any
other occasion since they marched
down the same avenue while passing
in grand review at the close of
the war in 1865. Only the ones who
have been permitted to attend these nat
ional encampments can know the pleas
ure experienced by even the anticipa
tion, to say nothing of the reality of
meeting, face to face, a comrade who
perchance shared his joys and his sor
rows, his coffee and his" hard tack for
four long years. It is my earnest desire
that every comrade in this department
who has never had this experience may
live long enough and be possessed of the
'wherewithal!' to enable him to have it
at Washington."
At the conclusion of the commander's
report an adjournment was taken for
dinner, and at 2 o'clock business was
resumed. The committee consisting of
J. H. Drake, Judge Torrance, J. M.
Tucker, and G. B. Meney, which was
appointed to visit the soldiers' home,
submitted a very complete report de
tailing the work now in progress at the
home and commenting in the most com
plimentary terms of the good facilities
for caring for the old soldiers. Assist
ant Adjt. Gen. Joseph L. Brigham sub
mitted a report .in which was found the
following information as to the mem
bership:
Total membership, Dec. 31, 1890, 8,201 ;

141 on the year 1891, with 1,135 on the
suspended list, as against 1,101 in 1899.
Tnis report also showed that $3,000
had been expended during the year in
charity and that posts had been mus
tered in as follows:
Joseph Key. No. 61, Waconia. with 19
members: A. K. Harrison, No. 77, Min

Rev. Henry S. Bibbie, of West Du
luth, the department chaplain, devoted
his attention to the observance of Me
morial day and Memorial Sabbath by
the 8. A. 8., Sons of Veterans and
Women's- Relief corps, and submitted
the following figures to show what had
been done in this way: §S3B9ninVpMf

were visited and 8.C5J4 graves were deco

For Wives of Veterans*
A resolution favoring a change in the
law relating to the soldiers' home,
whereby the wives of veterans could
be admitted to that institution with
their husbands, was submitted, and it
was decided to make it a special order
of business for Thursday at 2 p. in.
The department commander, in a re
port upon the soldiers' home, compli
mented the administration of the home
in the highest terms, but recommended
that provision be made for greater
privacy iv the matter of sleeping apart
ments. He did not consider it neces
sary that each inmate should
have a separate room, but ad
vised that the dormitories bo so
arranged that there would not be so
many in one room. His report further
set forth that there was a lack of
women nursing at the home. Mrs. Mc-
Millan, it stated, was a- good, faithful,
motherly woman, but, being alone, was
unable to meet all the demands made
upon her.
Senior Vice Commander Langc sub
mitted a report giving an account of the
district camp tires which he had at
tended, and encouraged the idea of
Ting regular camp fires. He recom
mended that the actual work of the
posts be carried on .in the presence of
department officers, especially the mus
tering-in of officers.
Comrades Albert Schefferjand C. 11.
Bennett, who were sent with -greetings
to the W. C. EL, returned accompanied
by Mrs. Marie Hasen winker, of St.
Paul; Mrs. Annie M. Lange, of Mar
shall, and Mrs. Jennie Clifford, of
Northfield, each of whom in turn was
introduced to the assemblage.
Commander Parker greeted the ladies
in a neat little speech, to which they re
sponded briefly. Junior Vice Depart
ment Commander J. D. Smith made a
report, giving a list of the pasts visited
by him during the year, ana compli
menting Alexander Williams post of
Mankota for excellent work which he
witnessed while there.
' Judge Advocate Reuben C. Benson
read a report giving rulings upon the
laws of the order.
A resolution favoring Senator Davis'
bill to make the Minnesota Soldiers'
Home a national home was presented,
but action upon it was deferred.
Nearly the entire afternoon was spent
in the discussion of a proposition to re
duce the per capita tax from 40 cents
per annum to 20 cents per annum, but
no agreement could be reached, and the
question was postponed until this fore
noon. •*
The financial report of the council of
administration showed receipts during
the year amounting to $10,133.40 aid dis
bursements of t5.143.03, leaving a bal
ance on hand of $4,990.40.
The following resolution by Comrade
Perry Starkweather was unanimously
adopted:
"Resolved, That the article published
in the New York Sun reflecting upon
the military record of our past com
mander-in chief. Comrade Russell A.
Alger, is a libel upon the fair fame and
well-earned reputation of a distin
guished soldier and patriot, a disgrace
to American journalism and an insult
to the li. A. R., which should be con
demned by every loyal citizen of the
United States.
"Resolved, That the department com
mander be instructed to telegraph the
above to Comrade Alger."
INDIGNANT NORTH STARS.
Campbell and Smalley Held Re
sponsible for Everything".
The meeting of the executive commit-
tee of the North Star Association of
Democratic clubs in Minneapolis yester
day was not of the sensational order
that was expected. There was some
heat in the club rooms of the commit
tee, where the meeting took place, but
the place did not burn down. The at
tendance at the meeting yesterday was
larger than it has been for some time,
shoving that the members of the com
mittee expected that something would
drop.
The committee was called to order
shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The atmosphere in the room was
quiescent at the "beginning. Routine
business was taken up first. It was a
portentiouscalm that prevailed. State
Organizer Kyuaston reported on the
club organization, aud satisfied the
members of the committee that every
thing was moving smoothly. Treasuier
W inston presented the financial report.
The club is all right so far as money
goes. The bills have ail been paid, and
there is money in the treasury.
But quietness was not long to exist.
Dan Lawler came over from St. Paul to
attend the meeting, as he is a member
of the committee in spite of the fact
that he voted with the other side of the
house at the meeting of the state central
committee the day before. It was evi
dent that Lawler was a sort of an am
bassador from the St. Paul men, who
have been thought to be in sympathy
with the North Star movement. He was
the only representative of the St.
Paul element to appear. Developments
proved that Lawler came to Minneapo
lis to attempt to heal the breach between
the North Star association and the state
central committee. He made a speech
with that end in view. It was a good
speech, full of rhetorical flourishes and
logical argument. But it did not "go."
to use the language of the street. He
was talking to deaf ears. The North
Star men felt that they had been
insulted by the state central commit
tee, and their stomachs were in
no condition to relish antidotes. Lawler
argued that the state central committee
had no intention of belittling the work
ot the North Star organization— had no
intention of insulting the representa
tives of the North Star association. He
took a small punch, as it were, at Sec
retary C. A. Moody, of the North Star,
in his extenuation" of the action of the
state central committee. He said that
Moody, by his attitude before the com
mittee and by the resolution introduced
by him, had insulted the state central
committee.
But. s>s before stated, Lawler's elo
quence went for nothing. He found
that the occupants of the room, almost
to man, were against him. M. W.
Glenn, as a member of the state central
committee, and as a man who had at
tended the meeting of the committee
and was perfectly familiar with all
that occurred there, undertook a
vigorous defense of Moody. He was
followed by several others, all of
whose names could not be learned
because the meeting was executive.
During the making of the speeches
Chairman Campbell and Secretary P. J.
Smalley came in for a large share of the
roasting. The sentiment of the North
Star committeemen seemed to be that
Campbell and Smalley were responsible
for nearly all of the shabby treatment
which the North Star association says
it received at the bauds of the
central committee. The North Star
leaders say that they appointed
a committee in the regular way to wait
upon the state central committee and
notify it of the organization of the asso
ciation and of the objects of the organ
ization. They did what they were ap
pointed to do as gentlemen and say they
were not treated by the chairman and
the secretary of the state central com
mittee as they had a right to expect,
even if they were Republicans, instead
of brothers of the same party.
The pounding of the air with words
was a good thing for the meeting. Talk
ing acted as a sort of safety valve on
the gentlemen present. When called
to order the temper of the meeting was
clearly in sympathy with a movement
to adopt some resolutions reflecting up
on the state central committee. When
the time came for the presentation of the
resolutions the disposition of the com
mittee had moderated. Ilesolntions were
adopted, but they were pacific in tone.
They breathe a spirit of fidelity to
Democracy before everything else, and
announced that the North Star Associa
tion of Democratic clubs would go on
"in the old sweet way" organizing the
state of Minnesota in the interest of
Democracy.
Chairman E. W. DuranL C. R. Came
ron. J. 11. Rolfe, D. B. Johnson and F.
C. Brooks were appointed a committee
to draft an address to the electors of the
state of Minnesota, declaring anew the
principles ot the North Star association,
and pledging the association to work for
the suceeto 7 of the Democratic party. \
-■ Arrangements were made for holding
the annual meeting of association. It
will be held on the 30th of March, the
day before the assembling of the state
convention in St. Paul to select a dele
gate to the national convention. The
clubs that sail under the » North Star
banner will send delegates to thai meet
ing. The politics of the state will un
doubtedly be talked over at that time
and the officers of the association will
be fielded*. ■
Another meeting will be held in Min
neapolis mii the same day, or a few days
before. it will be attended by the sen
ators and representatives of Minnesota,
who served in the last legislature on
the Democratic side of the house. •
TIM'S MATHEMATICS.
Byrnes Gets Mad and Talks Back
to Judge Shaw. -
.In Tim Byrnes looks, actions and:
speech, while on the witness stand dor
ing the past two days, have been one of
injured innocence, aud about him gen
erally there is that "you ought to be
ashamed of yourself for bringing me
here" air. This manifested itself rather
forcibly yesterday morning, when Tim
othy was summoned before Judge Loch
ren with a view of postponing the
the- criminal charge against him until
next term. Byrnes objected strongly to
any arrangement of the sort, and in a
voice combined in which were the ele
ments of injury and sorrow he addressed
to the court the following: "Here I have
been under indictment since Dec. 14 of
last year, and at the time I was ar
raigned I asked for a speed y hearing,
which was not granted, and meanwhile
I have been obliged to stay here. 1
think it is my right to and 1 do demand
an immediate hearing, and I ask the
court to dispose of the case at once."'
County Attorney Thian said the state
was ready, and Judge Lochren set the
case for trial tomorrow, when it is ex
pected Byrnes will ue through with the
civil suit.
All of yesterday was put in in exam
ining the witness; relative to his finan
cial transactions with Mr. and Mrs.
Goodrich, and Judge Fish concluding
the examination for the defense, the
affable and oily Tim was turned over to
Judge Shaw. The plaintiff's attorney
began by making a motion before be
ginning the cross-examination of the
witness. Counsel asked that ail con
versations, negotiations and affairs be
tween T. E. Byrnes and G W. Goodrich
regarding the matterat issue be stricken
out on the grounds of inconioetency and.
immateriality, and that all testimony
respecting business operations between
them previous to the deeding of the
property at issue to the plaintiff be
decreed incompetent; to strike out all
talks, conversations, doings and acts
between Byrnes and Goodrich in and
during the spring, summer and fall
of 'B'J. Judge Shaw wanted all of
Byrnes' testimony stricken out ex
cepting that relating to the two satisfac
tions, the time when and under what
circumstances any erasures and inter
lineations were made. Judge Smith
took the matter under advisement, and
then the cross-examination was begun.
It was evident from the start that the
counsel for the plaintiffs desired to get
the witness tangled up, and with this
object in view asked concerning the
notes given in satisfaction of the loan
of $13,000. Tim stated in his direct ex
amination that he gave Mr. Goodrich
his note for half the amount, and gave
Mrs. Goodrich a note for the balance;
but Tim's table of mathematics was
faulty, as Judge Shaw proved when he'
inquired if Mr. Byrnes thought $1,400
half of $13,000. Tim replied that he had
not figured it out as a mathematical
problem. However, Byrnes managed
to keen his head above water, and
several times during the day
took occasion to hit Judge Shaw a sharp
one.' something not at all relished by the
aged jurist, and for which liejdid not at-i
tempt to conceal his anger. The wit
ness did not remember to whom he gave
the deed of the property at 117 and ll'J
First avenue north. Tim collected the
rents and turned them into the "gen
eral business." ; •
' ""What general business? Whose gen
eral business?" queried - Judge Shaw. ;
■ "My business." answered- Timothy
witha"whose-business-do-you-suppose"
smile on his good-looking countenance."
The witness testified that he once gave
Mrs. Ella Goodrich $100. ' /
"Pin-niouey?" asked the attorney, but
the question went no further.and Judge
Shaw proceeded, to draw out, little by
little, by legal sparring, some defect in
the testimony of the witness; : but
Byrnes, by some clever sprinting, duck
ing and warding, managed to keep away
from the heavy blows the attorney de
livered. Father-in-law Goodrich had in
dorsed iv blank several notes at wituess'
request. Byrnes - produced one of the*
notes signed by Mr. Goodrich, It was
one for $26,000, and signed T. E. Byrnes
& Co. lt then developed that Byrnes
Sr. was in partnership with Tim in the
brokerage business. In the afternoon
the prosecution devoted itself to the
question of the signing of the two satis
factions by Mrs. Goodrich in Chicago.
Tim stated that to the best of his recol
lection Mrs. Goodrich did not look at the
papers at the time she signed them, nor
did Mrs. Knight, who witnessed the sig
nature. The cross-questioning on the
part of the plaintiff began to grow
wearisome, and just about the time peo
plebegan leaving court adjourned with
the witness still on the stand. .
TO TEST THE LAW.
The Law Enforcement League
Will Assail the Ordinance.
The amended liquor ordinance, which
receives its official publication today
and thereupon becomes a law, will un
doubtedly be tested before many days
have elapsed. The officers of the law
enforcement league are, it is said, al
ready perfecting plans to bring a test
case into the courts at once, and within
a day or two the complaint will be filed.
The case which has been selected is one
of "second offense," as it is thought this
will bring matters to an immediate con
clusion.
It is assumed by the officers of the
league that the municipal court will
rule the amended ordinances illegal
and will proceed with the case as be
fore, even though the complaint will
not be filed by a police officer. The
law provides for both a tine and impris
onment and revocation of the license in
case of a second conviction, and there
fore if the saloonkeeper would keep
out of jail he must apply for a writ of
habeas corpus. This would baing the
entire ordinance before the supreme
court at once, and an immediate decis
ion can be obtained. •■- :

According to an interview with her in
the Harrisburg Telegram, Mrs. King,
alias Mrs. Ray.the woman who came to
Minneapolis to kidnap the child of Mrs.
E. J. Harpel, learned, '-with horror,"'
whin she returned home To Altoona.
Pa., that she had been arrested in Min
neapolis. She told the Harrisburg paper
that she came lo Minneapolis to get the
child, but found that Mrs. Harpel was
such a nice woman and that she and not
her husband was bringing the action for
a divorce, so she declined to take part
in the scheme. Down in that country
Mrs. King says that she was entertained
like, a princess or the blood while in
Minneapolis by Mrs. Harpel and her
people.
f^'l' BERGMAN JURY OUT.
Judge Lochren Charges for Ac-
H quittal or Manslaughter in the
•• j Second Degree.
Bergman's fate is dow in the hands of
the jury, and it is pretty well settled in
the minds of those familiar with juries
that they will azree to disagree, the
term of imprisonment being the point
upon which an understanding could 2"
be reached before the case was resumed
yesterday morning. Judge Loch-re n,
with a look of determination on his
face, turned around on his chair, and
looking one of the jurymen squarely in
the eye. said it had come to his knowl
edge that one of the twelve had been
seen talking to a- witness in the case
on the streets, and he had it in his
mind to make an example of the man.
that would prove a warning to. others.
After a severe lecture the judge said
he would overlook the offense. he
characterized as a grave one. this time.
The trial then proceeded. L. S. Gillette,
Bergman's employer, testified to the
; latter's good character. The case then
; closed. County Attorney Thian opened
| the argument for the prosecution. He
| was followed by Mr. Jamison for the de
i fense. The arguments consumed the
entire forenoon. At 3 o'clock Judge
Lochren charged the jury, sayiug, in
substance, that the evidence did not
warrant a verdict of manslaughter in
first degree, and that the jury must find"
for acquittal or else manslaughter in
the second degree. The jury went out
at 3 o'clock.

QUITE ECCENTRIC.
""•*■- ''"-'..'■'■-'
A Millionaire Plans a Sham Fun
••.. , eral and Watched His Heirs.
From Austria, the land of eccentric
noblemen, comes a story without a par
allel in the recent record of human
idiosyncrasies. The Galician million
aire, Casimir yon Mionczynski, was re
moved from his vast estates near Lem
berg to an asylum for the insane in
Dobling, at his own instance, about
eight years : ago. About five months
later his death was announced, It was
.said that he died in the night, and the
properly drawn certificate of the physi
cian was to the effect that death' was
caused by heart disease, says the New
York Sun.
In the morning after the night when
the death was reported the other physi
cian saw that the closed coffin was car
ried to the family burying ground and
there interred, without having been
opened in the presence of the million
aire's friends. The heir of the Mion
czynski property, Count Nicodem Po
( tocki, took possession of the estates.
The departed nobleman left neither
wife nor children.
About the middle of December the
tenants of the count were astonished at
midday to see the bent figure of a man
exactly resembling Casimir yon Mion
czynski pass along the road. The old
man spoke to all in a voice that recalled
visions of their former landlord, and
most of the peasants fled in supersti
tious fright from the sound. Hardly
less fright was caused at the castle
when the old man sent in a card bearing
the words "Casimir yon Mionczynski."
..- When Count Potocki met him the old
man explained that he had given the
physician who gave out his death certifi
cate at the asylum and conducted the
mock funeral $5,000 for his part in the
plan and promised not to reveal the
fraud until after the physician's death.
That event had been 'announced, he
said, and he, therefore, had returned to
his estate. The old man said
he had taken securities for
about §50,000 abroad with him
and had lived on the interest. His ob
ject in all this remarkable performance
was to discover, lie said, how his heir
would administer his property after his
death. That story was treated rather
gingerly at first by Count Potocki, but
the discovery by disinterment that the
coffin from the asylum had been empty
increased the suspicion of truth aroused
by the old man's personal appearance.
The old man's story of his wander
ings abroad is under investigation, and
meantime he is inquiring into the man
agement of the property, which he
claims as his own. The editor of the
Dziennik Polski is sure that the old man
is Casimir yon Mionczynski, and many
Lembergers believe so, too, but Count
Potocki says that he will concede noth
ing until the tracing of the old man's
wanderings is completed.
m
A Le^al Term.
Judge.
.. Bobby— Pa, what does it mean when
it says a man's . estate was divided ac
cording to law?"
Pa— lt means, Bobby, that the heirs
of the dead man get what is left after
: the lawyers get through.
