WILL CUTHISPAY IN TWO
ariix.i: t. c. parker makes an
OFFER TO THE CITY
Announces His < :; ml i liac y for the
Municipal Court Bench, and if
Nominated Will Agree to Serve
for s:J, ()()<», Returning: the Other
$2,000 to the City Treasury.
Theodore E. Parker, for years assist
ant corporation attorney and one of the
older lawyers of St. Paul, is a candidate
for nomination on the Democratic tick
et for judge of the municipal court.
Judge Parker is a Democrat, was a
Democnt before he served in the war,
and, whon he was mustered out, he re
mained the same. Judge Parker is one
of the men who think? the city is pay
ing too litfih salaries, and his announce
ment contains a proposition of interest.
Here it is:
The law in relation to fixed salaries, as
determined by the decisions of the courts
of this country, is. if a person ls elected
or appointed to an office, the salary of
which is established at a certain sum, at
the tim* of his election or appointment
t!:er;<>. that salary cannot be changed dur
liik his Incumbency therein. It was under
that law our courts lately decided the cas»
i.f A. E. Howe agains-t :he city of St. Paul,
by which tho city has been made liable
to pay upon demand about $10,000 as ar
rearages due upon salaries that had been
6<u?led for and paid to the different officers
of this city by virtue of an ordinance or
resolution of the comm- n council fixing
their respective salaries «it a le3s sum than
that established by act of the legislature
of this state. The only practicable and
effective way for the overburdened tax
payers of this city to reap any benefits at
once in a reduction of salaries of officers
«'|c cted or appointed to public salaried po
sitions, the salary of which is excessive,
as named in the law, is to nominate persona
who will obligate themselves In writing to,
upon and after being paid the monthly sal
wry in full, as established, cover Into
the city treasury whatever sum of money
Ins been paid to him over and above tha
ku:ii and amount he has agreed to do the
work of hia office for. pursuant to his be
ing nominated and elected thereto. After
Bucfa .ifficer has received and receipted for
the full amount of such monthly salary,
as established by the legislature, and then
covered Into the city treasury the excess
thereof, as he has obligated himself to
do, he cannot conio back upon the city for
the refunded money any more than he could
rail upon the city to make up to him the
amount of rent paid for tiie dwelling house
by him occupied, or the amount paid by
such officer to the grocer who has support
ed himself and family during the month
tho officer was earning the salary received
and receipted for. It is none of the city's
business what the officer doea with
his money after he becomes pos-
I of it; he can cover It into
ilty treasury, pursuant to his anti
election obligation, or pay his house rent
grocer's bill or any other debt he may hap
pen to owe;
Under that state of the law, I hereby an
nounce myself as a candidate for the office
of municipal judge of this city at the next
city election, upon the following terms
and conditions, viz.: If nominated and
elected thereto, I will Immediately after
receiving the monthly salary thereof aa
now fixed and established, cover into the
city treasury the full sum over and above
tii.' sum nf $1GG.66, retained as the monthly
under this promise and agreement;
making, at that rate, the annual salary for
said office the total sum of $2,001 Instead of
(4.000. as it now is. -
And I further obligate and bind myself
ROBERT BROWNING OBSCURE.
That Is Latchford'a Opinion of
Elizabeth llnrrett's Mlrrnry
Husband.
Henry Latchford, M. A., of London,
spoke Informally last evening- before
a small select gathering at G:>j St.
Peter street, on "P.x-ts I Have Met."
Of Browning, who was one of the
several poets and artists Mr. Latch
fleld lias met and knowji intimately,
he said that his tirrt impression was
that Browning was about the best
dressed man in London; that unlike
Tennyson, who cultivated a careless
ness ■><: dress. Browning was known to
have sou a coat back to a tailor fifteen
tin!, s because it did not suit him. He
(.hough) Browning a man of society
decid< d*y. He loved to talk with little
<!:iMi li and was a favorite with wom
en, old and young 1 .
Mr. fjatchford paid, however, that
v iih ali dv.- respect f>>r the intellect of
this great man, he thought there was
a great deal of mrnn?lfnc talked about
his poetry, and that tho first duty of
;! ;■ : w: s to be an artist Browning
v .is t! a oughly obscuie no matt, r what
Hi'- <iiii(s might say. He trusted to
the emotions and instincts and took
p. rversc delight in flying in the face of
reason. This was not sound doctrine.
Mi- Latchford met Swinburne at a
Bmota social along with half a dozen
artists. Swinburne Fat with a brandy
bottle before him, ard near him, talk
ing with him, sat William Morris. The
lattei was smoking a briarroot pipe.
There were also some critics present,
but Swinburne had the floor from 8
until 2:30 o'clock, and Mr. Latchford
sui<l be had never heard such a tor
renl <>f eloquence before. Such over
]>■ \\. ring knowledge of literature, from
Homer to Alfred Austin, such insight,
si cli power, such rTce, such energy.
Bui at 2:M) o'clock the brandy gave
out and the ho S t refused to get any
mon and Swinburne collapsed and
vent to sloop. H^ was. Mr. Latchford

The Ninth ward Democrats will hold
a rally at Harbeck's hall. Rice and Ge
ranium streets, tomorrow evening. It
ls understood that the meeting will in
dorse the candidacy of Edward L. Mur
phy for ward alderman.
A meeting, attended by fifty Hebrews
from all parts of the city, was held
Sunday afternoon at 27 East Seventh
street for the purpose of forming an
organization, which, as one of those
interested said, "would educate the
members as to their constitutional and
political rights."
Oscar Tankenoff presided, and a
committee of five, with Building In
spector Haas as chairman, was ap
pointed to draft a constitution, and by
laws. These will be submitted at an
adjourned meeting to be held next Sun
day, at which time permanent officers
will be elected.
The meeting of the board of flrp com
missioners scheduled for this evening
has been postponed until tomorrow
evening. The three members of the
board ia the city, Messrs. Arosin, Van
ish and Walther, decided that in no
other way could they show their pa
triotism better than by not meeting
on tho anniversary of the birth of the
father of our country.
President Arosin. seen last evening,
said the statements made as to con
ferences and caucuses regarding the
changes in the officers of the depart
ments were all rot, at least so far as
he was concerned. He had attended
nor had none.
The evening organ has served notice
on Mayor Doran, through an editorial
published last night, that he must not
reappoint Ernest L. Mabon as a mem
ber of the board of public works.
The threat is made that, if he doea,
then the organ Is to be "agin" him for
a renominatlon and re-election.
The threat caused considerable talk
about the city hall yesterday afternoon,
and a number of those who stand
close to his honor said the result would
be that Mabon would be turned down.
Mabon, when seen last evening, said
he had nothing to say, and Mayor Do
ran refused to talk on the subject.
"It has been no secret," said one of
the mayor's henchmen, "that Mabon.
and Sandell were promised the pluma
some time ago. The paper which now
attempts to force the "hand of the may
or has been opposed to Mabon 6lnce
he refused to cast his vote for the
selection of the publication aa city

ticklish position In the matter, and, as
he cannot afford to lose the backing
of the paper in his fight for a renom
inatlon, the only way out is to do as he
had often done before, change his mind
and name another man."
said, a pale, forbidding-looking man.
Mr. Latchford talked Interestingly of
many others whom he had known and
of whom he had that to tell which was
of interest. His talk was forcible, most
ir:tfrf stingr and entertaining:, and his
language simple.
COMMISSIONERS PAY A BILL
After One of Them Han a Verbal
Passage With the County
Attorney.
There was a lively spat between
County C mn is-ione- Moritv; and Coun
ty Attorney Anderson at the regular
meeting- of the board of county commis
sioners yesterday.
The county attorney submitted a bill
of $75 for the services of H. M. Temple
as expert accountant in the trial of
the Bickel and Stevens cases. Mr. Tem
ple served five day?. Thp committee on
claims refused to allow the bill because
of a resolution passed by the board
some time ago limiting the fees of ex
pert witnesses to $10 a day.
Mr. Anderson explained that the
board had allowed him a contingent fee
of $250 to be expended as he deemed
proper. He had thought It quite prop
er to allow Mr. Temple $75 for his work.
Commissioner Moritz protested. It
was establishing a bad precedent to al
low an expert witness more than $10
a day as specified. The rate might go
up to $25 a day.
Mr. Andersor— At the time I paid Mr.
Temple the S7F. T did not know that
(he board had passed a resolution limit
ing the per diem.
Mr. Moritz — Well, Mr. Anderson, ig
norance of the law excuses no man.
Mr. Anderson retorted sharply that
the board's resolution cut no figure
anyway as to tho services of Mr. Tem
ple, which did not come under the head
of expert witness fees.
Finally, the county commissioners al
lowed the bill, Mr. Moritz alone voting
in the negative.
The case of County Surveyor Gates
A. Johnson Jr. against the county hav
ing been decided by the supreme court,
a resolution was passed authorizing the
county auditor to draw warrants for
Mr. Johnson's salary for 'the months
of December and January, amounting
to $572 for each month.
The board adopted a resolution au
thorizing Chairman Doran and County
Auditor Sullivan to execute and de
liver to Clara M. Bazille, a special war
ranty deed of the property adjoining
Phalen park, which the preceding coun
ty beard agreed to purchase, but which,
so the supreme court has said, the
county was rot obligated to buy. This
action was taken inasmuch as the deed
of the property executed and delivered
by Mrs. Bazille to the county has been
lost.
County Commissioner Kellermann,
who has been confined to his bed for
seven weeks, attended yesterday' 3
meeting.

HIS CUCUMBERS GREW
In Spite of the Thermometers in the
Yellowstone I'nrli.
J. H. Dean, vice president and general
manager of the Yellowstone Park associa
tion, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Dean
brought in a story on W. P. Howe, one of
the hotel men at the Park.
Last summer, so the story goes. Mr. Howe
built a small conservatory directly over one
of the hot springs, and during the summer
and fall his little glass house was visited
by many interested tourists. In the fall Mr.
Howe left the park, and closed up his con
servatory.
A short time ago one of the cruisers who
remain in the park during the winter vis
ited Mr. Howe's flower house.
The sight which met his eyes fairly took
his breath away, for there, with the ther
mometer below zero at an altitude of 7,500
feet, was a rank growth of cucumber vines,
bearing thousands of cucumbers of all siz?a.
The cruiser took a bushel or more of tho
vegetables and sent them to Mr. Howe in
St. PauL
Mr. Howe distributed the cucumbers
among his friends, and when asked where
he got them, is said to have replied that they
come from his South American farm.

CLERGYMEN OF ST. PAUL, HOLD
ANOTHER MEETING
Will Not Support the Notmlnees of

Koran's Administration Indulged
In Saloons the Complaint.
The clergymen of St Paul, through
the movement which i 3 now being
launched by them, expect to prove an
important and new element In local
politics during the next campaign.
A second meeting of ministers was
held yesterday morning in the parlors
of the Central Presbyterian church,
which was attended by fifty represent
atives of the St. Paul clergy. The
meeting was held behind closed doors.
The session was breezy throughout,
and there was a very liberal expres
sion of opinion on the part of the gen
tlemen present.
The committee which was appointed
at their last meeting made a lengthy
report, and presented for the adoption
of the meeting a set of resolutions,
which will be made public in a few
weeks, when a more definite plan of
action is decided upon.
It was the unanimous decision of the
meeting that in case the candidates ad
vanced for office by the several political
parties this spring were not good m?n,
they, as a body, would put an inde
pendent ticket in the field.
The launching of an independent tick
et in the field would, however, be only
as a last resort. They will try first to
have the old parties put up good men
for office, and in case this is not done,
they would independently go Into the
fight.
It was also suggested that in case
one party should put up a good man
the other a man who could not be
relied upon to enforce the law, it would
be advisable and expedient to indorse
the best man without regard to politi
cal affiliations.
On the other hand if both parties put
COUNCIL TO HAVE A SAY
ABOUT THE MAYOR'S APPOINT
MENTS OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS
Proposed Chapter Governing the
Fire Ilnard Submitted to the
Charter Commission Last M«ht— —
No Action Taken Owing to the
Lack of a Quorum.
There were sub six members of the
charter commission present at the
meeting last evening, and aa this was
two less than a quorum no business
was transacted.
Pierce Butler, as chairman of the
committee on the chapter reflating to
fire department, submitted a draft of
the proposed chapter. It provides for
a board of five commissioners to be
appointed by the mayor on the second
Tuesday in June after the new charter
takes effect.
The commissioners appointed then
are to serve one, two, three, four and
five years and each year thereafter one
commissioner la to be appointed for a
term of five years.
Both branches of the council, by a
majority vote of all the members, are
to confirm the appointments of the
commissioners made by the mayor, and
in case the confirmation is refused, then
the mayor is to make other appoint
ments and report the same at the next
meeting of the council.
All contracts made by the board are
to first be approved by the council by
a two-thirds vote.
The secretary of the board is to ba
FINE NEW SHOE STORE.
The \V. L. Uouklbsn Company Opens
a House In St.
Paul.
One of the most attractive shoe stores
In the city was opened last evening
by the W. L. Douglass company, at
4-/S Wabasha street, corner of Seventh
street.
This is the only store that concern
has in the Twin Cities, and situated
as it is in the center of the trading
dir-trict, the venture is expected to
prove a success.
The opening was supervised by Gen
eral Manager T. L. Ellis, of New York,
who was assisted by J. B. Botzet, who
will have charge of the establishment,
and from the opening hour until the
closing of the store the place was
crowded with buyers.
The interior decorations of the store
are in blue and white and the effect
is very pleasing to the eye. The stock
cases are in white and a neat white
cash desk at the end of the store is in
harmony with the rest of the estab
lishment. A handsome rug covers the
floor.
Tho show window is calculated to at
tract uersons to that corner. It is
floored with yellow tiles and Is backed
A\ith handsome mirrors and a papier
mache boarding trimmed in white and
gold. A row of electric lamps will illu
minate the window at night.
Manager Botzet will always carry a
large and complete stock of men's shoes
which will be of the same ptyles as are
on the market in New York and other
Eastern cities, and wiil keep abreast
of the styles every season.
The W. L. Douglass shoes are made
for men only, and are manufactured at
Brockton. Mass.
The company now has fifty-two
branches in operation in the principal
cities as far west as Denver. This is
the only store the company has in Min
nesota, though others are projected.
A branch will be opened in Kansas
City this week and another in St. Louis
next week.
VQJJUCIPB MARRIAGES LUCKY.
A W>s<t Side Couple Insists I'pon »he
Probate Judge Viiitincr Them.
Probate Judge Willrich is decidedly diffi
dent when It comes to performing the mar
riage ceremony; but he was waited upon
yesterday by a couple who would not take
no for an answer.
Ernest A. Moeller and Susan Grunewald,
both residents of the West side, were the
contracting parties. Mr. Moelier is a book
keeper for C. R. Groff & Co.
At first Judge Willrich was disposed to
recommend the couple to some other magis
trate who might perform the marriage cere
mony with greater aplomb ar.d less inter
nal trepidation. But. Mr. Moeller wouldn't
hear of such a thing, and his prospective
bride waß equally insistent.
When Judge Willrich asked why it was that
they wanted him to marry them, they said
they knew a couple on the West side whom
the judge had married two years ago, and
the marriage had turned out so well that
they had decided that the judge must unite
them, too.
"So they were married." Minnie Gruen
wa!d. a sister of the bride, and Henry J.
Hadlich, a friend of the groom, witnessed
the ceremony.
ORANGES ARE PLENTIFUL.
They Are Likewise of Especially
Fine and Choice Quality.
Oranges are being received in St. Paul in
large quantities these days. They are of
an exceptionally fine quality.
"St. Paul Is one of the best orange mar
kets in the Northwest," said a local com
mission man yesterday, "and this year we
are receiving large consignments of very
choice fruit." The prices are a little be
low the prevailing quotations last year, and
may possibly go lower.
"Aa viewed from St. Paul, tho California
orange crop has been handled more expedi
tiously this year than ever before. We can
figure an having the fruit here in a certain
length of time without fall. Tho regularity
of the shipments probably has something to
do with the decline Id price over last year."
up good men they would, as a body,
remain neutral, and each clergyman
could choose for himself in the matter.
This was the substance of the reso
lutions presented, but the contents of
the resolutions presented by the com
mittee will Bet forth clearly the posi
tion of the local clergy on the subject.
There was not the, same restraint at
the meeting yesterday as was evidenced
at the meeting a week ago in the Y.
M. C. A. roomg. The. ministers did not
fight shy of the policy of the present
administration. At the former meeting
not one word was said derogative of
the policy of the present administra
tion. Yesterday, however, the reverend
gentlemen warmed to their subject
and were loud Jn their denunciation of
the present wide open policy of the ad
ministration.
Rev. W. K. t Marshall, presiding el
der of the St. Paul diocese of the Meth
ndist church, presided over the meet
ing. iJ -•
The concert hull and wine room ques
tion also came' up, and it was evident
that the Olympic and other resorts of
like nature in w the city would be the
objects of the most aggressive attack.
Incidentally the police department was
touched up.
It was generally understood that the
leaders of the movement would attempt
to do nothing under the present ad
ministration, but would bend all their
pfforts to secure the election of vir
tuous men to office. It was alleged
that all the saloons were allowed to
keep open all day Sunday, and that
nearly every saloon was keeping open
an hour or so later at night than the
law said they should.
One prominent clergyman, who has j
been Identified with the Christian Cit
izenship league for some time, stated
that there had not been much of a
change for the better since the advent
of the new administration. It was
difficult to know just where to find
Mayor Doran. They never knew what
to expect from him.
The meeting adjourned to meet again
next week. At future meetings of the
clergy the matter will be considered
more fully than was admlssable yes
terday, and their exact position on the
mayoralty question will be made pub
lic in a few weeks.

All employes of the department are

their discharge is concerned, thirty
days' notice only being necessary.
A. H. Lindeke, chairman of the com
mittee having in charge the chapter
relating to the water department, sub
mitted an amendment to the report
made at the last meeting in relation
to the frontage tax. The amendment
was as follows:
"In addition to all other powers con
ferred upon said board, they are au
thorized to and shall assess upon each
and every lot In the city, In front of
which water pipes are or hereafter may
be laid, an annual tax or assessment
of ten cents per lineal front foot of the
frontage of such lot or lots, and which
shall be a lien upon such lot or lots
and shall be collected as hereinafter
provided. But no property shall be
subjected to such tax or assessment
after ten such annual taxes or assess
ments have been levied against it, In
cluding those which may have hereto
fore been so levied."
President Horn requested John D.
O'Brien, who acted as temporary secre
tary, to notify the absentees of the
next meeting and an adjournment was
taken to Wednesday evening.
Those present last evening were
Messrs. Horn, O'Brien, Butler, Llndeke,
Alness and Krlegef.
"Yes, we are receiving large consignments
of the boxed Oregon apple. We are selling
lots of these this year, because of the high
prices of Southern apples. The Oregon
apple might be considered a fancy stock, but
they are rapidly coming into favor." .
WILL VISIT THE^RISON.
Chamber of Commerce Accepts an
Invitation From Warden
Wolfer.
The chamber of commerce will to
morrow visit the prison at Stillwater
on invitation of Warden Wolfer.
The affirmative vote was taken at
the meeting of the chamber yesterday
morning. Transportation will be fur
nished by the Omaha road, and the
party will start on the regular train
at 12 o'clock noon. Dinner will be serv
ed at 1 o'clock/ and an inspection of
the prison will follow.
An urgent request was made by Pres
ident Noyes that there should be a
large delegation. Not that he wants
to send them to prison, but only that
an opportunity may be afforded them
to see how a prison, is conducted. Of
course each visitor will determine for
himself how he would like it as a place
of temporary sojourn. Complimentary
remarks applicable to Warden Wolfer
were made by H. H.- Hart, in the dis
cussion of the acceptance of the invita
tion. s :
There was a dearth of new business S
for consideration by the chamber. In i
regard to local street railway matters, I
A. H. Lindeke, from the committee on
transportation, announced that a con
ference was pending between that body
and Mr. Lowry.
A letter was read from Congressman
Lorin Fletcher on the subject of mone
tary legislation by congress, in which
he expressed a hopeful view that some
favorable action would be taken before
adjournment, although there were a
number of Republicans in favor of a
do-nothing policy.
FELL DOWN AN ELEVATOR.
Employe of the Gernianla Life
Building Gets a Bad Fall
This Morning:.
Louis Lv.tzman, an employe of the
Germania L#ife building, was injured at
?.r early hour this morning, by falling
down an open elevator shaft. He was
badly bruised and cut and sustained in
addition internal 'injuries, the exact ex
tent of which could not be ascertained
at the first examination.
Lutzman's injuries were attended by
Dr. Dohm and the injured man was
removed to his home on the upper

HAD A GOOD TIME.
Woniaii's Auxiliary No. i£O, Sons of
Veterans, Given a Masquerade.
An enjoyable masquerade ball was given
at Central hall, Sixth and Seventh streets,
last evening by the Weman's Auxiliary No.
£0, Sons of Veterans. The ball was largely
attended, and the' preUrly costumed maskers
assembled for the opening march presented
an attractive scene. Ftilly 150 couples were
in attendance. i
Representatives* of all nations, as well as
clowns, imps and grotesque characters, were
among the dancers. Garbed in the elegant
or fantastical apparel appropriate to the
character, the merry maskers, with the grace
ful movements of the dances ever changing
the scene, presented a l: series of animated
kaleidoscopic pictures as entertaining to the
spectators gathered about the hall as to the
participants in the gay whirl.
The spirit of the bal masque prevailed
throughout the evening.
Gayety was the sole order of things, and
when the mandolin orchestra had played the
last number, every one voted the entertain
ment a thorough success.
The committee of arrangements comprised
Miss Stella Swank, Mrs. E. Walter. Mrs. J.

MASKERS HAVE A MERRY TIME
AT MOZART HALL
AH Nationalities Represented, and
Many Beautiful Costumes Dis
played A Highly Picturesque
Procession Theo. ilamra Mas
querades as Kins Gambrtnns.
The carnival masquerade at Mozart
hall last night, given by the Mozart
club, proved to be one of the finest and
most picturesque affairs of its kind in
the history of St. Paul.
The programme was an extremely at
tractive one.
A special stage had been erected for
the Danz orchestra of twenty-five
pieces, in a corner at the right of the
regular stage. From this point the
orchestra during the interval between
the opening of the programme and the
raising of the curtain, discoursed the
following excellent musical programme:
"Lohengrin March," Wagner; selec
tion from "Cavalleria Rusticana," Mas
cagni; waltz, "Mem Ideal," Yon Blon;
selection from "Bohemian Girl," Balfe;
waltz, "Wein Weib und Gesang,"
Strauss; "Overture to Tannhauser,"
Wagner.
After this programme had been in
terpreted the curtain was raised and
the following spectacle was presented:
Introduction of the Prince and
Princess of the carnival, P. V. Larson,
as the prince and Miss Aurelia Danz,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Danz
Jr., as the princess. This was a very
pleasant surprise to all, as It was ex
pected that Andrew Heckler, aa he did
during the last ice carnival, would ap
pear at the final moment as princess.
After the introduction of the prince
and princess of the carnival, various
other groups followed, representing dif
ferent nations. The first was a group
of Polish barons, impersonated by L.
Arbogast, William Conradl, H. Haas,
L. Maenner, William Hllbert and L.
Halbert.
Napoleon followed with two mar
shalls, impersonated by Gustavo Wolff
and Henry Bueger and John ThllL
The next was a band of Zulus, repre
sented by Max Hazenbaoh, Adam
Heck, Joseph Prendergast, M. Arbo
gast, William Merz and H. Werner.
"Singers of the Wachtsburg Wolfsgang
from Eschenbach," or the "Melster
slnger," constituted the next group.
It comprised Louis Betz, Frank Wer
ner and Charles Bloeser.
Diana and her nymphs then appear
ed. Mrs, Joseph Borchet Impersonated
Diana, and the Misses Walther and B.
Yeager and Mrs. Emlle Treager and
Mrs. Laura Rank were the nymphs.
Fritz Schneider and Mrs. P. J. Giesen.
followed as the fairy prince and prin
cess.
Dante, or Santonello, was Imperson
ated by Miss Ida Theobald. This
character was followed by a group of
ar.gela represented by Misses Kerst,
Emma and Olga Hllbert, Wick, Men
ecke, Gustaveus Voedlsch, Mrs. Adolph
(Jle&en and Mrs. George Rank.
Hugo Drlese, as St. Peter, preceded
Andrew Heckler, who In the garb of a
monk, kept close to the heels of St.
Peter.
The most Interesting group was a
collection of American Indians and
Squaws, who were presented by the
Goddess of Liberty with the American
colors as they appeared on the stage.
The noble red men and their wives
were represented by John Prendergast,
August Miller, John Giesen, Misses A,
Art, Jennie Murphy, Mrs. Willlem
Couradi, Mrs. John Giesen, Mrs. H. E.
Drlese and Mrs. Joe Giesen.
As each aggregation appeared on tho
stage the orchestra played a national
air of the country represented, and the
representatives of the various nation
alities then descended to the floor from
the stage and made a circle of the hall.
After this came the grand march,
headed by the prince and princess of
the carnival.
During the march four especially In
teresting figures were noticeable. They
were Miss Olga Hilbert, a blackbird;
Miss Emma Hilbert, a butterfly; Paul
Drlnkovitz as the czar of Russia, and
Anna Doyle, as a newsboy.
The crowning event of the evening
was a magnificent myramid formed on
the stage by all nations, with the God
dess of Liberty as the central figure.
The picture was received with ap
plause, while the orchestra played
"America."
The Goddess of Liberty was imper
sonated l<y Miss Giralda Voldisch.
One of the surprises of the evening
was revealed when the company un
masked at 10:30. A portly gentleman
who had worn the visage of King
Gambr-inus proved to be none other
thn Theo. Hamm.
The carnival of the Mozart club will
be long remembered by all those who
had the pleasure of participating in
and witnessing it. It was the success
it deserved to be.

HONOR A HERO'S BIRTH
CONGREGATIONAL CLUB COMMEM
ORATES THE ANNIVERSARY
Dr. David N. Beach, of Minneapolis,
and Z. S. Ilolbroolc, of Chicago,
Deliver Addre»e« The Latter

to Spain, WTiich Are Applauded.
Washington's birthday was fittingly
commemorated last evening by the
Minnesota Congregational club, which
met In the People's church. St Paul,
and listened to patrlotio addresses by
Rev. Dr. David N. Beach, of Minne
apolis, and Z. S. Holbrook. the Chicago
sociologist
The church was crowtfed with mem
bers of the club and ladies who sat
down to a banquet shortly before 7
o'clock.
When the hour for speeches arrived,
the president of the club, Rev. Dr.
Samuel G. Smith, made a few remarks
touching upon the day and the occa
sion, and introduced Rev. Dr. Beach,
whose subject was "The Religious Mes
sage of the Nation."
Dr. Beach traced the development of
religious and church purity from the
earliest times and the modifications of
the earlier teachings made by the Epis
copal and other Protestant denomina
tions. He showed how the religious
movement had been steadily toward
tolerance and the adaptation of the
church life to the necessities of men
and the gradual unfolding and evolu
tion of religious ideas.
The revivals at the beginning of the
century, the remarkable awakening in
IS4O, the wave of religion which swept
over the country during the Civil war,
and the present extension and devel
opment of the mission field were all
considered by the speaker as signifi
cant of the growth of the religious
spirit in this country as well aa in
other lands.
The application of religious principles
and impulse to practical life was illus
trated, Dr. Beach said, in the careers
and works of Jonathan Edwards, Hor
ace Bushnell, Henry Ward Beecher
and Philips Brooks and other great
leaders of religious thought, whose
message to mankind have a peculiarly
American stamp.
Dr. Beach closed his adaress with an
examination of the organic life of the
religious movements and the teachers
of religious life In the history of the
American nation.
The other address was that which
was delivered by Z. S. Holbrook, who
followed Dr. Beach. Mr. Holbrook U
sociological editor of the Bibliotheca
Sacra, and his speech on "The Political
Message of the Nation" was expected
to be scholarly and patriotic. Nor
were his hearers disappointed.
Mr. Holbrook paid an eloquent tribute
to Washington and his g:eat successors
in the presidency, Jefferson and Lin
coln, and laid stress upon the debt
which all good Americans owe to their
country and their government. He
finally touched upon present events.
"I care not," he said, "whether Spain
blew up the Maine; I care not whether
De Lome spoke the truth or not; diplo
macy that Is not based upon honesty
is treacherous and tricky and hollow
and any nation that adopts Machiavel
lian ethics will end aa Spain is ending,
bankrupt in government, finances and
morals. We may have occasion to cure
that nation of its bad propensities. If
we have to jteach that nation a lesson
we want to do It not with blood
thirsty revenge, but thoroughly — we
want to do it well."
This sentiment was greeted with ap
plause.
Mr. Holbrook spoke of the struggle
between liberty and authority, and said
there was a battle on between the senti
mental school in political economy and
that of Adam Smith.
"A Chicago professor," continued Mr.
Holbrook, "said recently that he could
not convert a man today because he
had to convert him to a wrong system.
Is it right to say there Is nothing to
convert a man to? Yet these are the
men who teach us. They are like the
Eastern reformers who have buttons
which they press and make Jesus
Christ dance on the other end of the
line. We say confidence Is fading

monopolies and false notions of liberty
1 here is my friend Debs. I was one of
l h * men w "o helped to Indict him. I
told him I was sorry; that if he wanted
to play chess with Pullman or with
O rover Cleveland, I could look on with
enjoyment, but when he played chess
with American principles and over
turned the board, then we interfered
vv c have fal ,ns of political
economy, statecraft and religion," de
clared Mr. Holbrook. "it is' the first
duty of every C ■ : nallst to teach
the fundamental principles of right to
Ms children. I have nothing against
tho higher criticism, if it will not touch
my religion."
Mr. Holbrook said that St. Paul and
Minneapolis were generaly admitted to
stand nearer to New England thought
and principles than any other two cities
in the country, in Chicago, he said
all men were scrambling after the dol
lars, and he told of a People's church
which was recently started there with
a saloonkeeper as minister.
"He stepped." said Mr. H.>ibrook
"from the street, which he had Just
made blue with profanity, Into the pub
pit and preached a sermon that u;is a
beauty."
Mr. Holbrook closed with the hope
that the new century would usher In
an. era of peace and g-ood will to men.
