An Exhaustive Summary of
What the Auxiliaries
Do.
.i Joint meeting of the woman's aux
iliary of the world's fair boards of Hen
nepin and Ramsey counties was held in
the world's fair rooms at the New Yoik
Life building yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock. Mrs. IS. M. Newport, chairman
of the Ramsey county auxiliary, pre
sided, while Dr. Hutchinson, chairman
of Hennepin county, occupied a chair
by her side.
Mrs. Hinckley, chairman on dormi
tories, reports thirty-two shares sold.
Dr. Hutchinson reported for Hennepin
county nothing so far as dormitories or
scholarships done yet.
Miss Dillinghhani, of Hennepin coun
ty, chairman on music, made a very en
couraging report of various clubs, both
vocal and instrumental, which would
take part in the musical exhibit at the
fair.
Mrs. Darr. chairman for Ramsey
Bounty, had sent out a great many cir
culars, her object being to make some
report of the beginning and growth of
music among us; had sent circulars to
old settlers and they had promised re
ports. In the schools she found that
the upper grades could sing very well in
pait songs. The lower grades were
taught from the Magic music charts
thai are devised by St. Paul men. She
found IS" music teachers, whose in:
comes ranged from 'Sl.SiO to $2,000 per
year. There were two women who
"were composers of music. Slie had
found many old violins, one genuine
Ttrailivarius. one Test oiio of 1715
dale, with Bavarian violins, cellos
and oilier quaint old instruments. She
hud seven' applicants lor admission to
the concerts Horn this county, and
thought oilu rs-v.ould appear later. Our
largest club, ihe Schubert club, had ap
pointed four delegates and four alter
nates to represent them at the fair con
ceits.
Space for Rare Instruments.
On being asked in regard to space for
the display of rare old musical instru
ments, Mm V. 13. Clark replied that
space would lie allow for such dis
play, but whether in the woman's de
] ailment or some other building was
not decided. Mrs. Clarke also stated
that it had been suggested that the
board appoint a committee to examine
applicants for tiie concerts to be located
in St. Paul for this part of the state,
with a subcommittee in Duluth to meet
the wants of that part of the state, these
juries to meet as soon as possible. The
suggestions came from Mr. Thorn. As
these committees will be composed of
the best professional and amateur mu
sicians the commitiee will meet next
Saturday.
Mrs. Whittelsey, Hennepin, chairman
of the art needle work commit
tee, reported twenty-five women who
support themselves by doing art needle
worn. Sixteen of these have promised
exhibits. She has discovered some
beautiful specimens of Hardauder work
on linen, a beautiful banner in Kensing
ton work done by a woman ninety-five
years of age. and two other banners in
needle painting were promised; one is
the scene of the "Aiuincial'ton." the
other a scene from mythology. A fine
specimen of Persian drawn work and
samples of Honiton lace were also prom
ised her. She already had a book hold
ing '»()() patterns of crochet work which
of itself was a wonderful display.a table
cloth with a border iv lovely moccasin
flowers, handsomely embroidered doy
lies and other beautiful specimens of
needle work she had . secured. Alto
gether her collection seems very line.
Sit. Paul Needlework.
Mrs. Goodi ich, chairman of art needle
work for Ramsey county, reports that
she has a sample of beautiful Guipure
lace made by an English women seven
ty-three years old, and also some pillow
lace. She found, as all the chairmen
do, that people were reluctant to prom
ise samples of work for exhibit because
they were afraid they might be lost, but
tho'ueht she could secure some hand
some specimens of china painting that
would be given her when she can reas
sure contributors on this point. Arch
bishop Ireland has asked the Catholic
•women to join in the woman's exhibit
instead of keeping their art needle
work for a separate Catholic exhibit.
Mrs. Metcalf reported for Miss Fair
child, of Ramsey, on fine arts, but had
been able to do very little yet. Mrs.
Hinckle, of Hennepin count)', commit
tee on fine arts, reports twenty women
artists in water color, oils and other
kinds of paintings, and could have
made a fuller report, but waited to hear
from Ramsey county. (Mrs. Hiukla is
state chairman.) Owing to some mis
understanding, no report had been
made to her. The president requested
the Ramsey county chairman to report
to Mrs. Hiukle at once.
A question being asked as to where
these collections would lie gathered to
await the inspection of the juries, Mrs.
Brown, of Minneapolis, replied that
she had asked and obtained the use of
the art gallery in the exposition build
ing, which was the best place possible
for the exhibition of all of their collec
tions. Mrs. Hinckle said that they had
thought of suggesting that all the ex
hibits be collected there and then the
juries could sec them under favorable
conditions, aid the public could be
charged a small sum for admission,
which couid be applied on the expenses
of the collections.
Mrs. Uazenwinkle and others seemed
to think the suggestion a ?ood one, as
that building met all the conditions of
exhibition better than any that had
been offered.
Local Literature and Art.
Mrs. Metcalf, committee on literature,
Ramsey county, has found six women

who have written books, which they
are desirous of having put in the libraiy
of the woman's building. She also has
photographs of authors, and magazine
literature, and poems and sonnets, that
can be used. There were many literary
clubs, but she was waiting to see Mrs.
Cohn's designs for clubs of Hennepin
county before she made a decision as to
what form her club's exhibit should
take, as she thought it best that these
should be uniform. She reported one
large club— the Century club— with 150
members; the Art club. 100; the Schu
bert club, 2C)5: decorative art, 30 to 40;
other literary clubs had Irani 10 to 15
members.
Mrs. Winslow,. committee on patents
for Kamsey county, reported twelve
patents have been issued to the women
in the slate— four to women in Ramsey
count}'. She would have photographs
; of tliese patents, and models also.
Mrs. Green, of Hennepin, reported
! that the committee on charities and re
! form was in the hands of Mrs. Walker,
! who will make an exhaustive repoit to
! the state board. .Mrs. Stevens, of the
committee on charities and reform for
Ramsey county, reported twenty chari
table organizations in the county, where
children and sick and helpless people
are cared for. One. the Williiig Hands,
has earned the money to buy an ambu
lance of the most improved pattern,
costing 5002, the only ambulance in the
two cities. Women", as a rule, enter
into the consideration of these ques
tions, and are interested in all the re
forms, and are willing to do all they
! can to insure this committee r. good
representation at the lair by securing
models and photographs of the various
institutions. AMP*
Airs. Hinckley, committee on manu
factories for Ramsey county, reported
that nothing can be learned trom the
manufacturers as to the number of
women employed, but when the
census leturns are made out we
shall have what material we need and
can then make an intelligent report.
Mrs. Greenleaf, of Hennepin, said
that their committee had decided to
! employ a woman to go to all the manu
facturers and make personal inquiries
on this subject.
Indian Collections.
Mrs. Judson, of the committee on In
dian exhibits for Ramsey county, could
not be present to report. Mrs. Baxter,
of Hennepin county, told that she can
secure four collections of Indian curios
that are very creditable; one man has a
good collection he would like to sell.
She has labored under some disadvan
tages owing to Miss Carter's failure to
act as she thought she would. She had
been asked who would take care of
these hits and such things through the
summer.
Mrs. Clark assured her that there
would be some one to take care of these
things as of other things. The very best
care would be taken of all the things
sent for exhibition.
Miss Holbrook, committee on records
for Ramsey county, could make no re
j port, as she had turned over all her re
ports to Mrs. Haekett, state chairman.
Mrs. Hecker. of Kamsey couniy, had
had the chairmanship of the committee
on agriculture so short a time she hail
not been able-to do much. She had
found out that forty women had asked to
1 be allowed to enjoy the benelits of the
1 dairy school, and girls had asked also
that they; might be permitted to enter
the agricultural school. She though t
tnat women had not been fairly treated,
because while they had made the butter
that had taken the premiums at various
fairs, men had pocketed both the money
and the honor of the exhibit.
To .VEiieh Risk. *.
Mrs. Bridgeman, of Kamsey county
committee, on art loan, said when she had
to tell those of whom she asked a loan
that lhey would have to take the risks
of sending their treasures themselves,
she did not meet with the success she
would like.
Mrs. Greenleaf reported for Mrs.
Christian, of Hennepin, that she had a
great many things promised, but she
too found trouble because she could not
assure against risks.
: M ,- s. Hinckley, on household econom
ics for Kamsey county, reports ten in
telligence offices, but.no account is
made of recommendations from former
mistresses. Our woman's exchange is
the only one in the country, except one
in Connecticut, that is self-supporting.
The Y. W. T. A. reports from 500 to
600 girls who visit the rooms every
day. We have nineteen kindergartens.
Prof. Gilbert proposes that tlie age of
admission to these be changed to four
years. We have a four-years course in
the manual training school. There are
2,47,7) pupils lii the various schools.
There are 100 girls in the cooking
school, and this course is optional with
the girls. She thinks that "the Stevens
dishwasher and the Aladdin oven are the
greatest helps to lighten woman's
work yet produced. She now recom
mends a course of training for wait
resses as well as maids, and thinks co
operation will answer the question that
perplexes many housekeepers now.
Mrs. Hazzaril reported for Mrs. Men
denhal!, of Hennepin, on this question.
She can find little space for this ex
hibit, so has decided to show a model
bath room with all the modern con
veniences; also reports the organization
of a bakery company of women, with
$3,000 ot stock already taken.
Miss Pollock, committee on educa
tion for Ramsey county, reports a large
number of schools for "girls. The aver
age salaries to teachers are in advance of
other schools in the country, and all
exhibit a spirit of progress. Many de
partments are under the charge of
women entirely; others are underthe
joint charge ot women and men. The
teachers' training school has been in
existence ten years.
Among Colored People.
Mrs. White, committee for Kamsey
county colored women, reports that
many of her people are self-supporting,
being engaged in laundry work, hair
dressing, typewriting, stenography, and
as clerks in stores, besides one music
teacher, one kindergarten teacher and
two public school teachers. She is urg
ing on her women the purchase of
dormitory stock. The Phyllis club
meets weekly, and is engaged in caring
for the sick poor of their own color.
Mis. Clark asked leave to say that the
action of our colored people was greatly
approved at Chicago. She had had a
letter from Mrs. Palmer, in which she
said that there were positions with good
salaries at the fair for a good many of
our colored people, both men "aud
women.
Miss Sanborn, committee on journal
ism, reports that some method will be
devised for this exhibit. Probably it
will take the form of a pamphlet, con
taining sketches and photographs of
those women who are considered jour
nalists.
Mrs. Hinkley had some samples of
jelly she had protected by a coating of
paraffine, which she wished the ladies
present to examine and sample. The
ladies adjourned to inspect Mrs. Cohn's
cards and. drink a cup of tea before
leaving the building.
Mrs. Cohn's exhibit of the clubs con
sists of large squares of water-color
paper on winch the names of the vari
ous clubs are inscribed in various orna
mental scripts, illuminated with lovely
bits of painting illustrative of the work
the clubs are doing. These clubs are

' MY AUNT'S EARRINGS.
St. James Budget.
Detective stories have always heen
my favorite lorm of literature. I have
read many, and have gained from them
a thorough contempt for probability and
the police. The first thing you should
do when a crime has been committed, as
1 often said to Uncle Poffkins, is to sus
picion the most unlikely man as being
the criminal.
That was the course I adopted when
Aunt Poffkins's (fairings were stolen,
lt was in the morning when the theft
was discovered. Aunt came down late
and ran into the room where Uncle
Poffkins, Dora and 1 were breakfasting.
My aunt bore traces of strong agitation
and she had forgotten her cap.
"My earrings!" she cried. "They are
gone— they are stolen!"
"God bless my soul !" exclaimed Uncle
Poffkins, dropping his teacup as if he
had been shot and leaping up with a
yell of pain, lie said the yell was at
tributed to the heat of the tea, which
was trickling down his legs.
My aunt explained. The earrings
were kept wrapt in cotton wool in a
jewel box on her dressing table. The
box was never locked, and the house
maid had access to the room. The girl
had only been in the house a week, and
was known to have a beau. My aunt
and cousin at once concluded she was
the thief, and sent for a policeman,
who searched her trunk and found
nothing, of course. 1 could have told
them that.
Meanwhile 1. kept my eye on Uncle
PoffKins. He was the one person who
could have no motive whatever in steal
ing the earrings. lie was very rich,
most respectable and extremely slow
and noisy in his movement; moreover,
my aunt would have given him the ear
rings at any moment if he had asked
for "them.' Evidently he was the last
man to attract suspicion. Accordingly,
1 watched Uncle Poffkins closely.
We passed a week of excitement. The
police were running out and in. Dora
cross-examined the housemaid inces
santly. Aunt Poffkins went abroad
Weeping and reminding every one she
met that the earrings were a present
from Uncle Poffkins on the occasisn of
their engagement.
■■ My uncle himself affected to make
light of the matter, and went so far as
loudly and ostentatiously to curse the
earrings. He was wrong if he thought
he could put me off the scent by that
clumsy maneuver. 1 never left him
alone; 1 tracked him.t o the city, hung
about all the morning, shadowed him
when he wept to lunch, when he re
turned, when he crossed over to the ex-
change.
Unknown to him I was on Ins 'bus
inside if he rode on the top, and on top
when it rained and he stowed himself
away inside. He never escaped me ex
cept when he was in his office. At last,
alter ten days' weary chasing, 1 was re
warded. 1 need not say that the police
had discovered nothing. The house
was still topsy-turvy and my aunt
subject to intermittent hysterics.
'1 hat wronged creature, the house
maid, did her work with a mop in one
hand and in the other a handkerchief,
wet with innocent tears. But to return
to Uncle Poffkins. The tenlli day alter
the earrings had disappeared, as he wis
brushing his hat oefore leaving the
house and looking at my aunt's tear
bedewed visage, his conscience 1 smote
him, and he so far forgot himself as to
exclaim audibly: .
"I'm blamed if I can stand this any
longer!" The folly of the man was in
credible. I had him now! In an instant
I was after him. He took a 'bus, 1 took
a cab, and started for the city. Now
came the odd thing— Uncle Poffkins
disappeared.
How it happened Ido not know, but
when the 'bus pulled up to the bank
Uncle Poffkins was not to be seen. I
questioned the conductor, but he had
evidently been bribed, and told me very
rudely that he had something better to
do than answer my riddles. He drove
on, and 1 was left for the first time at
fault.
It was evening before I saw Uncle
Poffkins. .1 was going home in a very
disconsolate state, when, about two
hundred yards from our gate, 1 espied
him ahead of me. Quickening my pace,
1 stealthily approached him. He opened
the gate and passed in; noiselessly 1
followed him.
A little further on, sheltered by the
shrubbery, he stopped, aud, after a
stealthy glance towards the house, took
from his coat pocket a small morocco
case. 1 stood on tiptoe just behind, and
with mingled horror and satisfaction as
1 looked over his shoulder, 1 saw the
earrings! I was right! Uncle Poffkins
sighed.
"Shall I give 'em to her or not?" he
said to himself, "It's rank waste. Still,
it will keep her quiet." 1 watched the
struggle between his good and his evil
angel. Clearly the good angel had tri
umphed so far as to bring the earrings
within fifty yards of Aunt Poffkins, but
now came the tug of war. It was severe,
and it ended in the victory of evil.
Uncle Poffkins, shutting the case with
a snap, exclaimed:
"It's all blamed nonsense! I'll take
'em back to Abraham tomorrow."
Abraham, now doubt, was the receiver,
for my uncle went on in a satisfied tone:
"He'll make no trouble about taking
'em." lie was putting the case into
his pocket when my feeling overcame
me. Respect for one's elderly relatives
is a praiseworthy feeling, but it must
not be allowed to override higher du
ties. I flung myself on Uncle Poffkins,
crying:
"Surrender! You cannot escape me!"
Mv uncle fell heavily on the gravel
pa'tli. 1 fell heavily on the top of him
and pinioned his arms to the ground.
"Tom!" he exclaimed, "what the mis
chief—are you drunk?"
"It is useless, sir," I began, "to af
fect ign— ." I had reached this point
when I was violently collared from be
hind, lifted bodily off my uncle's chest,
where 1 had been sitting, and was de
posited on a grass plat, while a deep
voice said in my ears:
"Now, then, young man, turn it up.
You're a lively 'un, you are. Furst yer
aunt and now yer uncle." The new
comer was a policeman. From his
pocket he produced a pair of handcuffs
and put them on my unresisting wrists.
Then 1 found my voice.
"What are you handcuffing me for?"
I demanded. "There's the thief."
"Gammon!" said lie, grinning.
"Why, you too), there's the property,"
said I. lie looked and saw the earrings
lying on the ground by Uncle Poffkins.
An expression of bewilderment over
spread the officer's face groping
again in his pockets he brought fdrtli
a pair of earrings. Then, gazing at tlie
pair in his hand to the other pair on the
ground, lie ejaculated softly, and, to my
ears at least, mysteriously:
"These -earrings in my 'and. was
found in'your drawer, young, man.
wrapped in cotton wool. 'Ow do you
account for that?" "Those on "the
ground," I retorted, "were found in Mr.
Poff kin's pocket. How do you account
for that?" He shook his head sadly.
Then he suddenly brightened up. He
had an idea. He produced another pair
of handcuffs, clapped them on my
uncle's hands and cried cheerfully:
"We can't be wrong now, can we?
March!" So Uncle Poffkins and 1
marched, the policeman between us,
with a hold on each of our collars, and
iv this predicament we were presented
to Aunt Poffkins, to Dora and to the
housemaid. The housemaid giggled
consumwlly, for which under the cir
cumstance^ one could hardly blame her.
Aunt Poffkius experienced a relapse,

and Dora alone was equal to the situa
tion. She made us sit down, and gave
us each a glass of sherry. Then the re
criminations began. Uncle Poffkins de
clared his earrings were not the stolen
pair. Distressed at my aunt's sorrow,
he had gone to the jeweler's and bought
her a similar pair. They cost eighty
guineas. The struggle 1 had witnessed
was between love aud economy, not
honesty and crime.
1 swore that the earrings found in my
bureau had not been placed there by
me.
'And you are both quite right," said
Dora. "Uncle's earrings are not the
stolen ones. Tom, do you remember
having the toothache?" It was clear to
me in a moment, i had asked for cot
ton wool, had been directed to my aunt's
jewel-box and from it grabbed a large
handful and carried it to my room.

"So you were the thief yourself!"

improbable as it was that I should think
Uncle Foifkins guilty, it would have

courage of my principles, and the result
is Undo Poffkins and 1 do not speak. _",.
