2 •aw a young traveling man sitting in one of the Bleeping car seats busily en gaged in sorting over his samples of cigars. There were very few passen gers in tlu* car. and, while the traveling man did not answer to tho description iv many respects of the missing man, the detective thought that he must be the one. He entered into conversation With him. and his suspicions were con tinued when ho found that the suspect knew very little about the cigar busi ness, or about St. Louis. On arriv ing at the union depot the operative left the train in company with him and Manager Cooley was found on the platform. He explained who he was nml asked the suspect to go to l.is oflice with him. Thorn was very nervous and hesitated, but thinking that he might persuade them that he was not the man wanted, he finally complied. On being closeted with Manager Cooley he flrokf Down and Confessed Ihat he was the man wanted. He was then given the privilege of returning to Kansas City without the formality of an arrest and ho gladly complied. In the valise which he carried was found $7,200 in bills. One of the {5,000 pcakages had not been broken, lit; said he had sent a package containing £4,000 to a woman in Minneapolis, whom lie had known iv Kansas City. Her ad dress was n house <>f ill-lame at the corner ol Thirteenth avenue south and Second street. On calling at the House, In company with Thorn, the money was recovered." She was glad to be relieved t>f it, and said that she was about to place it in the hands of the chief oi police. It is probable that the matter will be settled without prosecution as Thorn lias an uncle who is one of tho directors In the bank where lie was employed. He told Manager Cooley that he was go ing to buy a light suit of clothing in St. Paul, and then take tho Northern i'a cilic train for Fargo, chancing there to the Great Northern for Winnipeg, where he would be sale. lie said that he was in debt, as he hnd been gambling and keeping the com pany of fasi women.

THEDAUGHTERSOP7S The St. Paul Chapter Meets and Listens to Inter esting Papers. Unwritten History of Many Events of Dark Revolu tionary Days. A Description of ttie Early Settlement of Quaint Old Plymouth. Considerable Business Trans acted and Many New Ap- plications Received. One of the most delightful of the many delightful clubs ut women In Bt. l'aul is tlio Association of Patriotic Daughters of Patriotic Mothers of the Revolution. The St. Paul chapter met at the home of Mrs. J. Q. Adaui3, on Crocus hill, yesterday afternoon* There were about sixty worn. mi present when Mrs. Newport, regent of tlio chapter, called the meeting to order. Exercises were begun by singing "America," fol lowed by reading of minutes of the last meeting by Mrs. Foster, the secretary. Mrs. ,i. P. Gribben, preparatory to the reading of lier very able paper on ••First Settling of Plymouth," read the original roster of a company raised by her great-grandfather at Ilat field, Mass., in 1775. contain ing the names of over one hundred men, none of whom were over twenty-three years of age, Hits average being less than eighteen years. Mrs. Gribben's paper was a history of hardship and deprivation for those brave soula who mi Christmas day so long ago landed on the bleak New England coast, exiles and prisoners for conscience' sake. Miss Green.a descendant of Gov.Brad ford of honorable memory, for years the governor of Plymouth colony, read a paper on "The Founding of the Massa chusetts Bay Colony." She traced the history of that band of pilgrims from their homes in England across the sea in the good ship Ann, and afitr the settlement was started toldot the strug gle and growth of real religious liberty therein. In presenting her petition for member ship Mrs. Col. Mason read two commis sions granted to her great grandfather by Miss Green's ancestor while gov ernor i,t Rhode Island, in which ho was commissioned to "resist, kill and de stroy any subjects oi the king ot England who were menacing the peace ot the united colonies, or any one of them.'" One is addressed to "William South worth, gentleman," in the style of those days. Miss Alden, a direct descendant of that John and Priscilla wirom Long fellow has made immortal ill "i'lie Courtship of Miles Standish," read her petition for membership, recalling the • fame of her blue-eyed ancestor in many gracious deeds. She denies, how ever the authenticity of the re ,,,,, L that tola of Uie home coming of her ancestress, "sitting on a snow white buli,' 7 because, for sooth there were no cattle in the colony till the pretty Piscilla was the happy mother of two children, and even then they were able only to own two-thir itiuiitiis of a youug heifer. But she did not deny that the demure- Puritan maiden "said to the bashful John: •'Tray why don't you speak lor yourself, John?" like the brave lassie that she One of the most delightful incidents of the afternoon was the reading by Mrs Dr. Davis of a paper descriptive of modern Plymouth. She told of Uie ijimintold town where old styles and old customs prevail more than in any other town in the Union. I here is still to be heard the oui few bell bidding all honest folk to go home to bed at <» o'clock at night, lhere still can ba heard the call of the court crier, who, while urging all complainants to come mio court, as sures them Of protection in all their complaints, this long call ending in an appeal to the Puritans' God lor protec tion for the commonwealth or Massa chusetts. Dear old people and their ways were alluded to, the humble occupation of the men who bear historic names and the self-re specting penury of a i>eoyle who have a higher standard than the al mighty dollar by which to measure men were well described. \\ hile Mrs. Davis was reading Mrs. Adams had the pile of driftwood which filled the tire places, drift from storied 1 lym mith, lighted, and the paper was finished by the many beautiful colored lights that only a drift wood tire can give. Another applicant for admission was Mrs. Brown, a daughter of a Revo lutionary soldier. Among her papers was the father's discharge and her mother's original application for a pen sion, setting forth where he enlisted and all the "history of his service. During the interval for business that followed the programme, a discussion arose as to the terms on winch women could be admitted to the society. Mrs. Adams read a paper explaining a little matter of difference between the nation al chapter and some of the state chapters on this question. On vole it was decided to leave the clause as it now is in the constitution in re gard to this matter. The national chap ter desire to present a life-sized por trait of Mrs. Harrison, the national regent, to the White house as the gittot the Daughters of the Revolution. Ol course. St. Paul will do her share, as she always does, in this matter. On motion to adjourn Mrs. Adams said that she should feel deeply hurt if the daughters did not adjourn to the dinin ir room, where they were received with such hospitality as the daughters of valiant dames and sires alone can ex tend.

Verdict of the Family Physician in the I meson FvccrAng Case. Upon a careful examination of the body of Richard Imeson, the thirteen year-old boy who died on the West side last Sunday, the family physician, Dr. Lewis, became convinced that the cause of death was heart disease, to which the boy was evidently predisposed. Some of his clothing must have been lost dur ing the boy's long tramp. His mother had given Her consent to the trip only after the most urgent solicitation on the part of the boy. A post mortem examination showed" no evidence that liquor had anything to do with tho fatality. In fact, the boy was opposed to the use of intoxicants. John Dale, the prominent West side contractor, says that the boy's clothes were dry when in; was at the Ducas street station. He did not think that Richard had fallen into the river. Mrs. Imeson and her daughters are well known and highly respected residents. Her little sous are bright scholars at school, but this loss coining so soon after the tragic death of the father, James W. Imeson, in a rail road accident two years ago, falls very heavily upon the family. Mrs. 1 mason, seen by a Globe re porter last evening, showed the deep borrow which she felt. She said that "Dick" was bright and intelligent for his age, but that he complained of nerv ousness, which was attributed to heart trouble. He pleaded so hard to go to South Park Sunday that she finally gave her consent, but she had no idea they would make a long trip across the river. He was warmly dressed, but probably lost his overcoat, on the ice. HE WANTED MONEY. A Young Man Arrested for Steal- in<j Casli and a Check;. T. S. Kellogg, who lives at 132^ Con gress street, was arrested last evening on complaint oi' Mrs.Tliomas Gallagher, who states that he appropriated the sum of $10 iv cash and a check for $17 from her. He was arrested at his room by Lieut. Rouleau and Sergeant Zirkel bach, of. the Ducas street station, and on making a search of the quarters occupied by him it was found that he had a number of pieces of bric-a-brac in his room. In addition to the ornaments it was found that he had a number of pocketbooks, music boxes, etc. He told the officers that lie was in the employ of Howard, Farwell & Co., jewelers, on tho West side, it is thought that some of the property which was found in his room may be of interest to the firm by which he is employed. He will have a hearing this morning in the municipal court. LETTER OF SYMPATHY. Secretary Hart Sends Condolence to Webb iiayes. Secretary Hart, of the board of cor rections and charities, yesterday sent a letter of condolence to Webb C., a son of Rutherford B. Hayes.

Never has the subject of Sabbath ob servance attracted such universal at tention as at present. Many of the na tions have passed laws regulating Sun day work. Some of these show very ad vanced sentiments in regard to the beeping of the Lord's day. in Austria, women and minors are forbidden to work in factories on Sun day, and a government permit is necessary in order to cany on any man ufacturing business on that day. Sunday evening and Monday morning papers are not allowed, as the wink on them must be done on Sunday. Switzerland gives all workmen employed in mills, factories or shops the entire day, and all employes on transportation lines or in the public service at least seventeen Sundays in the course of the year. In extreme case.-,, or in lh«! interest of thu state, men may work in factories on Sunday by government uerniission, bul must not work two Sundays in succession. A new and important railway has made absolute freedom from Sunday traffic for twenty-live years a clause in its charter. In France employes are re quired to rest one day in seven, but that is not necessarily the Sabbath. Shopping and public business are de creasing in consequence of the efforts ot the Sunday-Rest league, in (Jer mauy factories, mills and workshops of all kinds are closed on Sunday by im perial command. Bazaars and shops may not remain open more than live hours. Sunday race meetings are frowned upon by the emperor, and as the favor of the powers that be is necessary 10 success, they are very un satisfactory affairs. In Holland there is a general movement for Sunday rest. Some of the most influential papers have ceased to issue their Sunday num bers, freight traffic is suspended, and laws are passed protecting women and minors from demands for Sunday labor. Hungary has laws making the hours of rest from labor from 0 p. m. on Satur day to midnight on Sunday. Tlie rest movement is gaining ground rapidly in other particulars. Sweden, Norway and DenraarK all have restrictive Sunday laws, the latter forbidding woik in fac tories between 9 a. in. and midnight. \\ liile the most urgent petitions have been sent to the head of the church, there has been no advance in theSuu j day movement in Russia. The utmost ; disregard for the Sabbath is manifested ! in many respects, the people seeming to I forget that there is any Sabbath toob | serve. Upon the whole, the situation is I most encouraging, and show? marked ! improvement within a lew years as well as evidences of a still further advance I in the near futuw*. LOCAL. IMPROVEMENTS. Considerable Work Laid Out by the Board of Public Works. At yesterday's meeting of the board of public works assessments for the fol io win j;-clescii bed improvements were confirmed: For <i sewer on Burr street, from Whitall to Fatiquier street; the grading of Blair street, from Fairview to the territorial road; grading Limvood place, from Osceola avenue to Kenwood terrace: constructing a sevyi:r on S,6iith Robert street, from Indiana avenue to Fail field; sewer on Maenolia, .from Payne avenue to Edgertou STreej; slopes on Payne avenue, Joy strept to White Dear road; sewer on East'otxth street, from Rosabel to the .Sixth s'tjoi't bridge; opening an alley In block 6, Fairview addition; to ehan^e the'ecade of Euclid straet, trom Maria to Bates avenue; for the opening of Wyornini; street, between Gorman avenue and South Robert street.

Some of the Features the News paper Writers Will Knter lain With. Best Selectetl Programme of Spe cialties Kver Placed Before a St. Paul Audience. The Press club benefit to occur next Thursday afternoon at the Metropolitan is stili the talk of the town as the com ing eventof the season. Nothing like it has over taken place in St. Paul. The boys in the club, as well as those who are to participate in the entertainment, are leaving, nothing undone that will contribute to the enjoyment of those who attend. Enough features have al ready been secured to eclipse any thing of the kind they have un dertaken before, and others will be secured before tho affair comes oil. Manager Frank L. BixUy has kindly ! consented to act as stage manager, and this is an ample guaran tee that everything in this, department will be; done up to the queen's taste, for what Frank- does not know-about the management, of a stage is not worth knowing, and he never undertakes any thing that he does not do in the: most approved manner. McKee Rankin will be present with his entire couiDany,aud present the last act of the "Kentucky Colonel," which incorporates all the best features of that excellent comedy dcama. Stuart Kobsou will, will also be present, and present some of his best specialties. This in itself should be sufficient to draw a crowd that would fill every' seat in the house. Several of the leading members of his company will also be seen in special ties which are among the best on the road today. Every lover of good comedy is familiar with Evans and Iloey and "A Parlor Match." They will be present with many of the new songs ana spe cialties of the .play as it is presented this year, and which have made it much more popular than ever before. In ad dition to all these attractions, Prof. Baldwin, of the St. Paul Choral associa tion, announces that he will be present with a chorus of 125 voices and render a number of the most popular airs. .

GET THE ROADS FIRST. Some Pertinent Suggestions to Delegates to the Good. Road? Convention. A New System Demanded, With State and County Aid and Supervision. To the Ediior of the Globe. In view of the coming good roads con vention, whie is looked forward to with much pleasure and a feelinz that the roads in our state are beginning to have the attention they justly deserve, no convention is more Deeded or antici pated with more interest. But the con struction and manner of building roads is not the only, point at issue. The- old recipe for cooking a hare is apropos here. First get your hare. We need a revision of the whole system at present in force in the matter of roadmaklne. We want a new method of expenditure and a new method of laying out of .roads. We need state aid and state supervision, supplemented by county aid and county supervision.* We have ■ a certain amount of state aid now, but without definite supervision it really doesn't seem to do any good. 'It would, be . appreciated it' some of the speakers at the forthcoming convention would give us some practi cal working system, that a duly ap pointed committee of the convention could put before the legislature now at the present session. Many of the dele gates art: already instructed to have the convention at large call or appoint a committee that would have the power to act with the legislators, many of whom are already much interested, and annul every law now in forca in the present road system, turn over a new leaf, and, by the advice, guidance and good counsels of the good roads conven tion, bo "direct the legislature to enact a code of laws that will benefit the public and the roads themselves. The fact cannot be too strongly impressed upon the mind of every member of the con vention the importance of presenting some practical plan of operation, and with the co-operation of the legislature consider more the principles of a thor ough road system, rather than the build ing of them.

V '*• ■* Republican Officials Retain the Books Giving the Disburse ments ami Receipt Spring field, 111., Jan. lit.— The first official act of the Democratic attorney general of Illinois has been to draw up a legal document making formal de mand upon the Republican ex-Auditor of Public Accounts Pavey for the cash books and records- of disbursements of the insurance department. For many . years " one of the subjects of political discussion in Illinois campaigns has been the disposi tion of tees received in the insurance department. The act of the general as sembly creating the insurance depart ment of the auditor's office, and provid ing for its maintenance, contains a clause that the net amount of all ices, . over and above the cost ■ ot performing clerical la bor connected therewith, shall not exceeu $5,000, and any amount above that sum shall be paid to the state treasurer. The common interpretation of this has been that the slate auditor is entitled to $5,000 per annum iv addition to his 84,500 salary and in addition to that which he has the right to deduct as expenses of maintaining the insurance department. The Democrats, however, never con ceded this interpretation. During the months preceding the late election it was a common assertion of Democratic orators throughout the state that an ex amination of the auditor's office would develop grave irregularities, and it is, perhaps, the remembrance of these charges which tonight gives so much credence to the astounding asser tions that between the amounts col lected in the insurance department and the amounts paid into the state treasury there will be found unaccounted for the startling discrepancy of 516,000 to $18,000 per annum, reaching back, per haps, to 1876. It is asserted that the new auditor, Gore; made the discovery that the books showing the expendit ures of the insurance department of the auditor's office have been taken away, and search developed the fact that, similar' records extending as far back as 1870 are gone. Ex-Auditor Pavey said he had turned over all the public records to his successor. The cash and bank ; books retained he re garded as private property. When told about the assertion that a. discrepancy of *Ui,0()0 to 818,000 per annum would be found to exist in the office accounts, Pavey said there was no occasion for any such statement.
