Franklin, who has been elected secretary of the fire board, has during his term in the council been outspoken regarding the necessity of economizing in all departments of the city govern ment. No later than a week ago the Sixth ward alderman raised the question as to whether the council had not the right to reduce salaries of city officials even when fixed by the charter, provid ing the salary was considered too much tor the services rendered. The salary of the secretary of the fire board is not .fixed by the charter, but by the commissioners, and at present it is "*1,500 per year. One of the many friends of the newly elected sec retary is authority for the statement that Franklin will insist on the salary being reduced to a figure which will pay a reasonable sum for the amount of work to be done and at the same time relieve in a measure the overburdened, taxpayers. MAYOR'S DILL.M.MA. An Ordinance Will Become a Law Without His Signature. Mayor Wright lias had under consid eration for the last two days the ordi nance passed by the council Tuesday night fixing the licenses of foot, push cart and vehicle peddlers at s*b>, $50 and §100 each a year. The ordinance was prepared and passed at the request of the Retail- Grocers' association, and the mayor in endeavoring to cany water on both shoulders is in a dilemma. He does not care to antagonize the grocers, and at the same tune in order to prove his alleged interest in the welfare of the needy and poor he does not want to sign the measure. One of the members of the council claimed last. evening that the mayor would allow five days to elapse before he took any action and the ordinance would then become a law without his signature. The explanation could then be made by his honor that in the rush of business the measure es caped his attention. TO BUILD A GUILD. Mrs. Forepaugh Gave an Event Last Night. * . .7:7 Circle number two or the guild of St. John the Evangelist's church netted a very acceptable sum last evening, from the entertainment for which Mrs. Fore paugh, 302 Summit avenue, was good enough to open her house. This branch of the guild numbers seven members, Miss Lucy Ames, president, and Misses Forepaugh, Ames, Gussie and Elsie Pope, Beardsley and Lawton. The ob ject for which this and the several other branches are working is to raise enough money to build a guild house. The feature of last evening's entertainment was an informal talk oy BishoD Manion X. Gilbert on his trip through Europe last year. The bishop began by offering a few suggestions to persons contemplating such a trip as he had taken, and then in a rapid and in teresting way he carried his hearers with him across seas to Queenstown, thence to Cork and across the channel to England. Having * arrived there, he gave a very graphic description of sev eral of the older and- more noteworthy cathedrals, such as - Ripon, Durham, which is noted for its architecture, Winchester and fork. I The second part of the programme i consisted of several musical numbers, THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: ■ FRIDAY * MORNING, JANUARY 5, .89*. opening with a piano solo by Miss Tar box, which was followed by a grouping ot pretty little songs by Miss Gordon. .

John "Conway Is. _ Chosen President. 7-7.7 The animal election of the St. Paul Press club was held between the hours of 5 and 7 o'clock last evening at the club rooms, corner Fifth and St. Peter streets. There was a spirited ; but. good-natured contest for the presi- TKESIDEXT CONWAY. dency between Key. John Conway and Ambrose Tighe, the former winning by the vote of 40 to 14. George Thomp son, ot the Dispatch, and P. J. Smalley. of the Globs, were named as first and second vice presidents without opposi tion. A. M. - Knox, of the Pio neer Press, was chosen treasurer; C P. Stine, ot the Northwestern Printer, financial secretary, - - and Stephen Conday, of the . Northwest Magazine, recording secretary. /The six directors elected are W. T. Bell. 11. P. Hall, H. W. Wack.l3. W. Meeker, J. S."Vandiver and Soren Listoe. At an informal meeting of members of the club after the vote- was announced President Conway said: I thank the members of the Press club foi the honor they have conferred upon me. It is not after-election exuberance which induces me to say that I look upon the presidency of this club as the highest honor which can be conferred upon a citizen of St. Paul. For the press club of St. Paul is the brainholder of Minnesota. I am not so silly as to suppose that I shall have the co-operation of every member of this club. Nor do I desire it, for the man who cannot call forth some opposition is a nonentity— a char acterization which 1 have no desire to merit at present. But I hope to have the moral co-operation of the members, and I think I shall have it, because the gentlemen of the opposition have already assured me of their hearty good will and active iuterest. The respons ibility is great, but with your honest assistance I have no fear for the success of , the club. 1-- do not know its history— I mean its ancient history; "1 do know it well" since the club was resuscitated a few years ago - by that Nestor of Northwestern journalism. Hon. H. P. Hall. Mr. Hail brougnt to his office of- president a life long experience, a sound judgment and a genial disposition. He laid the founda tions of a great club, and he laid them deep and wide. The distinguished gen • tleman who succeeded him went on de veloping the i principle*) planted by Mr.Hall. And now -upon me rests the enormous responsibility '-* of crowning the work. - When 1 look around me and see the brilliant face's. of the gentlemen of this club, and when I think of the many successes which not a few of its. members have won in the various departments of journalism.and other fields of literature, I have no fears for the future. - * V "Woman is the lesser man," said Tennyson. If he were in the St. Paul Press club he would see that woman is far from being the lesser man. We have in this club what the bright young author of Mdlle. Paganiui calls the re incarnated woman, but what I shall call the evolved woman, or the highest type of American woman, an expression synonymous with the highest type of woman ou earth.- There is nothing to prevent us from achieving the fullest measure of success on social, intellect ual and other lines." SPLENDID GROWTH. ' Agricultural College _Is Now Largely Attended. Superintendent of Public Instruction Pendergast was at the opening of the term of the agricultural school yester day. Five years ago the school opened with seventeen pupils. The attendance has increased about 33 percent annually since then, and it now has 175 pupils, with indications that it will have 200 be fore the close of the present term. The pupils come almost entirely from the farming districts. Hennepin and Kam sey counties have less than-th*-* average. There is a steady and increasing de mand for the graduates for paying places in cheese factories, creameries, for foremen on large farms and in agri cultural college work. They are taught practical and theoretical agriculture, botany,, greenhouse work, carpentry aiidblacksmithing. The course is three years, and they are fitted for the four years agricultural course in the univers ity. As the term covers only the winter and spring months there is a possibility tljat the remaining six months. may be devoted to girls, as many applications have been made for instruction for them on agricultural lines. The equipment for the school Includes the state experi mental farm. NOT RELIEVED. Donahower anil Hay Must Stay Out Their Terms. 7 .'" Marshal Jeremiah C. Donahower re ceived word from Washington city yes terday that he would be forwarded money to defray the expenses of the January term of the federal courts that open in this city next Tuesday. Marshal Donahower says this looks like the mat ter of appointments to succeed him and Mr. Hay are tied up with a contest. He says that 87,300 will about pay the ex penses of jurors and witnesses for the coming term of the court, but it will take more than that to pay all expenses. He expects that amount will be sent him for the purpose indicated, as he informed the department of the amount actually needed. His requisition for expenses for the quarter ending Dec. 31 has not yet been honored. The expenses for that period include over 84,200, which is due the Minnesota state peni tentiary for taking care of about 100 federal prisoners that are now con lined in the Stillwater penitentiary under a contract between the United States and the state of Minnesota.
