■trailer* of The t'lohe the Manner
of Hta Almost 1 ndoluK ut the Na.
tioual < H|>ital- He Saw the
Sl-|rhta or Washington in Good
Shape.
Secretary of State Albert Berg re
turned yesterday morning from Wash
ington, looking somewhat pale and
thin from his experience with proprie
tary medicine and statesmen, but with
al very merry. In his apartment at
the Aberdeen last evening, he told of
lit.-- adventures at the national capitol,
■vvh'T.- h*' went merely to see the sights
and noi as had been supposed to furth
er th* interests of Former Gov. Mer
riam for a government position nor
i - boom Sam Fullerton for the United
Stat, s marshalship.
"These dispatches about my taking
an over dose of chlorpl were all
wrong, he said. Furthermore. I was
not pumped out with a stomach pump
even if the papers did say so. I
b'ave'nt seen a stomach pump since I
was a little boy. The truth of the mat
ter was that I had a bad cold and it
settled ni my bad tooth. The doctor
gave ni'* three kinds of medicine and
1 took lUref lingers out of the small
nound Doftl* instead of a teaspoonful
out of the siiuare bottle, as I should
have done. I thought some of home
and the folks here in St. Paul— that is
tor a while— but they brought me
around all right. There was a moment,
though, when I began to feel that 1
had not gone to church as much as I
ought, .m have done. My voice is get
tint; around all right now though."
And to pro\e his assertion the secre
tary carolled a few bars of a popular
song.
"'Speaking of Merriam." he con
tinued, "you ought to hay« seen those
big buildings. It kept me busy look-
Ing at them. I only went there any
way to see the sights and 1 saw 'em.
The government library is a wonderful
st rue i ore. It seems to have hundreds
of windows, and I made a mental cal
culation that it would take at least 5097
snittoons to accommodate the floor
space. It was awful cold there, at
least while I was in town. It was
worse than any blizzard I ever saw in
the Northwest.
"Gov. Merriam seems to stand pretty
well with those Washington people and
they told me down there that he was
pretty certain to land the position of
superintendent of the census. I saw-
Senator Nelson and spent a very pleas
ant evening with him, but. of course,
we did not talk politics. I heard down
there that Sam Fullerton was pretty
certain of succeeding United States
Marshal O'Connor, but I did not dis
cuss the matter with anybody. You
see I am a kind of back number in pol
itics now and it wouldn't have done for
me to get to talking with those big
bugs.
"Gov. Met ram was here when I left
and afterwarco I ran across him in
Washington quite accidentally. He is
a very nice man to meet. What
amused me more than anything at the
capitol was to see those colored team
sters going* around with their feet done
up in gunny sacks when it was chilly.
The long rows of street lamps, too, im
pressed me a good deal.
"The census position is a good thing,
I guess. Porter held it for eight years
and there's a nice salary. I did not
meet the president only at a distance.
He was pretty busy shaking hands
with some people at a reception and
1 peeked over the heads of the crowd
and saw him quite plainly.
"I don't believe there is any truth In
these stories that Merriam is slated for
the secretaryship of war and that Al
ger ts going to resign. The census po
sition is much more likely. I don't
think that my having taken the dope
by mistake was half as bad as. some of
these St. Paul people who disgrace the
town when they go away by blowing
out the^giis nnd things. And I want
lo say right here that it was not true
about the stomach pump. They say
that Senator Davis and Merriam aro
quite friendly nowadays. I should
not be surprised if he secured the ap
pointment."
WOMEN'S RELIEF CORPS.
Fliml Sesalona of the Auxiliary Or
der Develop Mneli Interest.
Agnes YV. Savage of Osseo, intror
fluced a resolution at the Friday after
aoon session of the Women's Relief
corps, requiring that the bondsmen of
Mary A. Horrigan, formerly depart
in. Nt treasurer of the W. R. C, now
-serving a term in Stillwater for mis
appropriation of funds of the corps,
pay the full amount of their bond, a
little over $1,000, and tbe Women's Re
lief corps will in turn pay over to the
bondsmen the sum of $500. The bonds- •
_men are S. J. Baldwin and his wife,
Melissa Baldwin, and Jane Ward, all
of Minneapolis. They have endeav
ored to evade the payment of the bond,
and the case has been carried into
court, if they comply with the reso
lution passed by' the corps Friday, the
case will be withdrawn and the $500
paid over to them as provided in the
resolution. A large minority in the
convention wanted the bondsmen re
leased from the payment of one-half
their bond, but the majority declined
to establish what might be a danger
ous precedent, so a compromise was
effected in the stipulation to repay the
$500, after tbe full amount of the bond
has been settled.

CAPT. CASTLES EXPLANATION
It Sliuivn That the Iteneal of the
ijlliO.OOO Annual Appropriation
for the Relief Fund Wait Only for
a Short Time, and the Old Bill
Should Be Re-euaeted A Sop to
a Treasury t'erhernn.
The action of the G. A. R. encamp
ment, which closed its annual meeting
In St. Paul last Thursday afternoon,
in passing a resolution requesting the
legislature to re-enact the law ap
propriating $20,000 for the support of
the soldiers' home, seems to have
stirred up a hornets nest of goodly
proportions both in Grand Army and
legislative circles. The appropriation
was repealed at the last session of the
legislature and now certain members
of the present legislature who were
members two years ago and who were
in part responsible for the repeal, re
alizing- that it was an unpopular move,
are trying to throw the blame upon
the board of managers of the home in
general, and Capt. Castle, who until a
few days ago had meen president of
the board for twelve years, in par
ticular.
A review of the facts leading up to
present unpleasantness, may show a
few things in a different light and re
veal some things that are not general
ly known. A friend of Capt. Castle,
and an old soldier, said yesterday:
"Almost since the scheme for a home
was first projected there have be*-*n
kicks of all sizes and descriptions lev
eled at its management from legislative
and other sources. The burden of the
wail has been extravagance, and to
only the superficial observer it was
possible to see it in that way. , For in
stance, each year after tha taxes have
been paid, say in June or July, from
$40,000 to $60,000 has been placed with
the state treasurer to the credit of the
soldiers' home, to cover current ex
penses of the yeas, but it has always
appeared upon the books of the state
treasurer as a reserve fund and when
the money was used in legitimate cur
rent expenses, certain people threw up
their hands and cried aloud in their
ignorance: "Reserve fund dissipated."
"Horrible extravagance." Then again
J.he cost of all improvements and extra
labor about the grounds at Minnehaha
was figured in the per capita cost of
keeping the inmates of the home and
In that way it appeared to those who
would sooner cavilat things than in
vestigate them, that the cost of keep
ing old soldiers was far too high, and
it did appear higher than at similar
institutions in other states when in
point of fact it was not. But the out
ward appearance was ample excuse for
another howl and the howl has been
pretty continuous.
"Such was the condition two year 3
ago when a Republican legislature in
stigated and urged on by S. A. Stock
well, of Minneapolis, demanded an in
vestigation of the conduct of the home
and the board of trustees, and it was
at that point that Capt. Castle was
brought Into the present controversy.
He was president of the board and
many times had been called upon to
defend the board against various self
appointed inquisitors who Imagined,
not once but several times, that they
could see an African continent in a
handful of kindling wood. He grew
tired of it. and when it was proposed
by the legislature to cut off the ap
propriation he wilted. That legislature
tried to make a record for economy
and its spasms were directed against
the soldiers' home and no one could (
stem the current of reform that flow- '
ed torrentially toward the ocean of '
economy."
Capt. McMillan, of the Soldiers' home. ■
was seen yesterday. He said:
"I am not in a position to controvert
anything said either at this last en- .
campment, or by members of the legis- ]
lature, but I am in a position to say
this. Two years ago Capt. Castle came j
to me and said, 'I do not propose to ,
make a fight against this reduction.
I feel that we can get along without \
the $20,000 until the next legislature
meets, especially as the board has the
power to transfer sums of money from
the relief fund to the maintenance
fund.' Now, continued Capt. McMillan, '
when the cut was made we notified the '
county agents of the state, whose offlce '
it is to approve applications for relief
outside the home, that we could not
furnish further relief and we have been
using that fund in the maintenance of !
the home." '
But this highly moral and economical '
Republican legislature of two years '
ago had to curtail appropriations. The
members had to draw their pay wheth- '
er they worked, whether they adjourned ]
two or three days at a time or whether I
they went on junketing tours at the
expense of the state, and they had to '
draw mileage, too, even though they
traveled on passes. But no one would
notice little things like that, if they
did but save the state $20,000 a year '
which was being squandered by a lot !
of extravagant Grand Army bov a in
riotous and unholy living. So" the
$20,000 appropriation was lopped off,
and now— there are many members of
the house who are sorely grieved that
representatives of the G. A. R. should"
be so indiscreet and so basely sense
less of gratitude that they should de
made that the veterans' relief appro
priation should be restored. So strong
was this grief that, while the pro
gramme was under way at the capitol
Tuesday, some of the older members
went to Mr. Staples and asked him
to interrupt the G. A. R. speakers in
order that a correction might take
place. It seemed to some of the mem
bers, whose nicer feelings were being
so grievously lacerated, that the
spokesman of the Grand Army labored
under a serious misappreciation of 1
acts. One member said: "Capt. Castle,
president of the board of trustees of '
the soldiers' home, not only admitted ,
to the appropriation committee two '
years ago that there was no necessity (
for the $20,000 appropriation, but, in
his official capacity, gave his consent I
to the bill and formally approved It.
"In the name of all that Is great anel '
good, when before did a legislature ■
consider it necessary to have the 'of
ficial approval' of any board or its i
president before it could pass a bill?"
If the board of trustees ever con- '
sented to that reduction, it was such
a consent that knew that before two '
years had passed away there would ,
come a demand from all over the state
for a restoration of the appropriation. !
If Capt. Castle ever consented to that
reduction, it was the passive acqui- '
escence of a man who saw the wis
dom of making a virtue of necessity,
and the members of the legislature will
find it hard to square themselves with
the Grand Army by trying to shift the
responsibility from themselves to eith
er the board of trustees or Capt. Castle.

Considerable criticism was Indulged
in about the city hall and in police
circles yesterday over the course of
Mayor Kiefer in disposing ot the charge
made against Patrolman Welch, by
Mrs. Fanny Bernstein, who claimed
Welch had stolen twelve Russian coins
which he took from her home, 854
Payne avenue, while searching the
house under orders, and failed to turn
over to his superiors.
The trouble over the coins arose
when the property seized by Patrolman
Welch was returned to Mrs. Bernstein.
She did not get the Russian coins"back
and preferred charges against Welch
with the mayor. Welch was called to
account by Chief Goss. He possitively
denled having ever had the coins in his
possession, claiming he did not take
them from the house with the other
articles.
But it was learned that Welch had
gone to the Pioneer Press otflee with
the property he "turned up" at Mrs.
Bernstein's, to show how successful
his starch had been and had shown
the coins to Reporter Edmunson. Mr.
Edmunson says Welch showed him the
coins in a purse, calling attention to
the fact that the coins were Russian
money and some of them were very old.
Several days later, Mr. Edmunson
says. Welch came to him again and
asked him to say that he had never
seen the coins, explaining that he had
denied having them to Chief Goss.
Mayor Kiefer sent for Mr. Edmunson
and learned this story from the repor
ter. When confronted with this story
Welch. It is said, admitted having tak
en the coins from Mrs. Bernstein's
home and also having shown them at
the Pioneer Press offlce to Mr. Edmun
son. He explained, however, that he
had in reality lost the coins after leav
ing the Pioneer Press offlce and had
denied ever having had them, because
lie feared his carelessness in losing the
coins might jeopardise his position.
Mayor Kiefer set the hearing of the
case for yesterday. In the meantime
Welch advertised a reward of $10 for
the return of the coins he claimed to
have lost.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Schorlert,
dying at 180 Smith avenue, appeared
before the mayor with the missing
coins. She said she found them on the
street, near the Pioneer Press office
Mayor Kiefer ordered Welch to pay
Mrs. Schorlert the $10 reward. Welch
winced under this turn of affairs and
said he had not that amount of money
about him. He tried to borrow $10
from Chief Goss, but the chief had no
small change and finally Welch and a
friend tendered a check for $10 Mayor
Kiefer returned the check and ordered
"Welch to "dig up" the cash. Welch
went out on a hustling expedition and
and finally came back with the re
ward money, which was turned over to
Mrs. Schorlert.
Mayor Kiefer then dismissed the case
against. Welch and ordered him back
on duty.

The bare announcement of the pro
gramme to he reiidjeped at. the Metro
politan opera hou**e r next Friday and
Saturday evenings., ehpuld serve to fill
every seat. Upon the dates mentioned
the local lodge of Elks will give Its
annual "affair." Minstrelsy of the
highest order will prevail— not 51 lot of
"borrowed jokes and revamped songs,
but a bright and witty performance
that Is sure to receive even greater
praise than the efforts of the past by
the same people along the same line.
There can be no question of the suc
cess of the venture. The Elks have
made their reputation as entertainers,
and it is well known that they would
not stand sponsors for events not up
to the standard they have set. But
being in the business, calling upon the
public annually to contribute to the
success of- a show, it will be the pur
pose, and the purpose Is practically
achieved, to Increase the entertain
ments in popular favor.
When the curtain goes up and the
audience will see before them an array
of cork-blackened faces that without
the coloring would be instantly recog
nized by many of those present, With
the assistance of the programme it will
be possible to pick them out. For in
stance, a reference will show that Lou
D. Wilkes, without whom a local effort
of this kind could not be complete, is
the interlocutor a.nd will occupy the
chair that In the parlance of the min
strel people belongs to the "middle
man." In his inimitable manner he will
direct the minstrel programme, throw
ing bouquets of wit here and theTe and
enlivening the occasion as Wilkes
knows so well how to do. By his ques
tions he will give W. J. Tompkins,
Robert Seng, H. R. Hardick, Al. G.
Flournoy, A. Li. Snyder, Charles Saw
ley and others a-n opportunity to spring
the very latest they have heard or orig
inated.
But before he is. allowed to do this
the entire company will illustrate its
ability to do really effective chorus
work. "Kiss Ms Honey, Do" will be
rendered as a kind of eye opener, and
A. G. FJournoy and W. J. Tompkins
will sing "Coon Hojlow Capers." As
an overture the company will sing
"Stars and Stripes." There will be
numerous other features. Jokes by
Flournoy and Tompkins, in which
many of the prominent local characters
will be hit at random; son-gs by Harry
George, W. J. Tompkins. Myron Bros,
and McCaffrey, A. G. Flournoy and
Master Jammle Bufno. The curtain
will fall as the company concludes
singing "My Ann Eliza."
The St. "Paul Athletic club will send
twenty-six members to participate in
the specialty features. This wIU be one
of the leading events of the evening, il
lustrating as It will the development
of an organization in which a great
local pride is felt. There will be tum
bling and pyramid building by a num
ber of the members, representing some
of the very best talent in the organ
ization. There Is not a better bag
puncher hereabouts " than George
O'Brien, and besides this exhibition he
will box with William McDonnell.
There 'will be specialty work by Sud
halmer and Perkins brothers, wrestling
by McLeod and Whitmore, who always
put up a good exhibition, features un
der the direction of" Instructors Jen
nings and Rogers, and nleasing Inci
dents of athletic work demonstrated.
There will be several specialties and
songs, Miss Millie Pottgieser and others
appearing, and then comes the cake
walk. This promises to prove one of
the most pleasing features of the
evening's entertainment. Twelve per
formers will participate, and as they
have spent much time on new step 3
and moves they will spring some sur
prises upon even experts in this line.
A glance at the programme shows
the great number of events arranged
for the evening. The Elks have had
past experience, however, and will be
able to put on every number without
detaining those present to an unsea
sonable hour. F. H. Tenney, assisted
by others who have also had exper
ience, will direct the stage, which as
sures that there will be no unneces
sary delays. The programme:

CLERGY STAY SILENT
rRIBSTS LOTH TO TALK ABOUT
THE POPE'S RECENT
ENCYCLICAL
AMERICA VS. THE CHURCH
Some of the Enrorpean Prelates Are
Said to View Archbishop Ire
land'x Letter aa I'ndln.clpHnary,
but Here, at Leant, It la Consid
ered aa an Eminently Wise Dec
laration.
No utterance of the pope has aroused
more widespread interest among' the
clergy and laymen of the Catholic
church than that contained in his en
cyclical to Cardinal Gibbons on Amer
icanism which was published in The
Globe Friday. It has been read with
care by every priest In this city and
has formed the subject of conversation
wherever they have met.
Following closely upon the encyclical
came Archbiship^lreland's letter to the
pope expressing his thanks for the
clear exposition of the Vatican's views
on a subject in which he has been con
sidered particularly interested. Arch
bishop Ireland has been generally re
garded as the leader or champion of so
called "Americanism," tout his state
ments to the pope indicate that his
views on liberal interpretations of doc
trinal law are not as radical as was
supposed.
But while every priest in this city
is deeply interested in the subjects
treated by 'Pope Leo, there are very
few who will express an opinion re
garding Its effects for publication. A
reporter for The Globe yesterday
asked several priests to explain the on
cyclical clearly for lay readers, but
they asked to be excused, saying the
encyclical was self-explanatory. The
hesitation of the clergy arises from the
fact that as yet they have no official
knowledge of it. nor will they have un
til copies of tbe encyclical have been
received from Rome and distributed
among the clergy.
AS TO MISSION WORK.
"The pope says that the doctrines of
the church are not to be tampered
with," said the Rev. Father Oster, vice
rector and spiritual adviser of St.
Paul's college, to a reporter for The
Globe. "The encyclical was provok
ed by the life of Father Hecker, found
er of the order of Paulist Fathers, who
died several years ago in New York.
The book was issued three or four
years ago. Father Hecker was origin
ally a Protestant clergyman and drift
ed into infidelity, but later became
again converted and jointtfg the Cath
olic church he founded the Paulist so
ciety. He spent several years in Rome,
where he received the apostolic sanc
tion of his work, and gathered about
him a number of former Protestants,
who were later joined by regularly or
dained priests. Father Hecker and his
converted associates, knowing the Pro
testant mind on a number of important
teachings of Catholicism, were inclined
perhaps to interpret them with more
liberality than a strict Catholic would
have done, ..and yet no particular ex
ception was taken at the time to their
doctrines. A number of questions were
left open for Individual Interpretation.
Then the Paulist Fathers started mis
sions to convert non-Catholics.
"Father Hecker's death was follow
ed a year or two later by the publica
tion of his life and works, which was
translated into French by the Abbe
Klein, a French priest. It was a free
translation and certain beliefs w-ero
credited to Father Hecker, to which a
number of French clergymen took ex
ception. They directed the attention
of the Vatican to such things as seem
ed antagonistic to Catholic doctrines
and the matter was referred to the
Papal Index at home for examination.
The -Index read the book carefully and
reported to the pope that the book con
tained teachings that appeared sub-
versive of discipline, and which were
described as Americanisms, because
Father Hecker was an American and
they seemed to accord with the popu
lar notion of American independence
of thought and interpretation.
"The pope now says there shall be no
relaxation of discipline. He condemns
all attempts to minimize the authority
of the church and says that what the
church has once declared is not to be
controverted.
ABOUT THE «ODY ORDERS.
"It has been said that religious or
ders, of both sexes, are of no use, but
the pope says they are Christian and
carry put the principles of the church,
as exemplified in the life of Christ.
There was a tendency in chis country
to make light of contemplative orders,
but the pope says they are sanctioned
by the church law and do good and are
not to be disturbed. If there are souls
who are rot content with a life cf ac
tive work, but prefer self-mortification,
and prayer, why, they do good in their
way. There is room for all to work.
"If the pope has been declared in
fallible it requires that he shall \i*
listened to with attention, fur his ut
terance is a revealed dogma of the
church. Then if we follow his teach
ings we are sure to be free from error.
The private guidance of the Holy Ghost
would be open to too much danger in
illusions and self-deceptions, and it is
better to have the guidance of those
appointed by God to direct the souls ol"
men.
"If Americanism means an adapta
tion of the church to circumstances,
the pope says, then all right. That has
always been his policy. This was illus
trated two years ago when he gave in
dult to bishops alloYing relaxation, in
their discretion, to whole classes of
people regarding the observance of
lenten fasts."
Father Oster said the letter of Arch
bishop Ireland to the pone was an
excellent document and expressed ex
actly his own sentiments and those of
his clergy.
THIS COMMENT ADVERSE.
Advices from Paris to the New York
Journal say that the pope's letter to
Cardinal Gibbons on "Americanism"
causes consternation among thoughtful
Catholics there. They declare that it
is a triumph, for the Jesuits in Rome
and for Spanish revenge, because Mar
tin, the head of the Jesuits, is a Span
iard and has striven without rest for
just such a condemnation ever since
the war. Cardinal Richard says that,
judging from the summary publishf.i'
it seems the pope has admonished the
United States to save the general
theses of the church. He does not fear
that the letter will cause a schism in
the church here, however.
The Archbishop of Orleans says that
the tendencies of American Catholics
are not against the doctrines of the
Catholic church, and calls attention to
the fact that the pope's letter says the
external authority of the church must
not be denied, though no Catholic in
America denies it. He says further,
the American Catholics are active, and
cloistered virtues, while their merits
are recognized, are less congenial to
the American mind than the militant
virtues which were dear to Father
Hecker. Prof. Klein, whose transla
tion of the life of Father Hecker, tho
founder of the Paulist order, which has
called forth the letter of the pope, says:
The tactics of enemjes is to attribute
to us false teaching. We all know the
external authority of the church must
be respected, and that individual in
spiration is not at variance with the
church. Father Hecker lays great
stress upon the superiority of the
Anglo-Saxon race and respect for the
human person. The Jesuits didn't like
this. The leading French clergy favor
the virile Catholicism of the United
States.
Cardinal Vaughan, of London, In
commenting on the letter also says
I cannot conceive why any* one
should be anxious or doubtful us to the
attitude of Catholics in the United
States toward he holy faher's ency
clical. The American Caholics aro
heart and soul with the pope. They
are and always have been faithful
children of the church.
I am convinced that there will not
be one hair-'s breadth of difference be
tween the teachings of Leo XIII. and
the convictions or professions of Catho
lics in the states.
I know the Catholics of America well.
They are thoroughly sound and papal

JOHN WESLEY
More than a century aero said: "Elc-o
tricity is a thousand remedies in one."
Since that time physicians have recog
nized the value of electricity as a rem
edial agent, and many wonderful cures
have been effected by its use. These
have, however, been on the haphazard
order and no positive and definite re
sults and knowledge have been obtain
ed until Dr. Hamilton, of London, made
the discovery that electricity, to be
positive and unfailing in ita results,
when applied to the human body, must
be a mild but continuous current.
It Is now a fact beyond all question
that such a current of electricity is of
the greatest value as a remedial agency
in cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Sciatica, Gout and all Muscular Pains.
In diseases of the Nervous System^
Nervous Exhaustion, Loss of Vigor and
Nerve Force.
In some diseases in which women
seem to be the greatest sufferers, such
as Nervous Headaches and Severe
Pains in the back, it is far safer and
better than any internal medicine or
the application of a liniment.
The Dr. Hamilton- Ring, from the
time it is put on the linger, imparts a
slight current of electricity which con
tinues as long as it is worn, and al
most immediately eases the severest
pains, quieting the sensitive nerves,
and causing no shock or unpleasant
feeling.
This mild current of electricity reach
es as no medicine can every portion of
the entire body, and the blood, quick
ened in its circulation by its action,
frees and cleanses itself of those im
purities which have prevented its per
fect circulation and brought on rheu
matism, neuralgia, gout, skin disease,
etc.
