CAMERA CLUB MEETING.
Organization _ B Growing and Se
lects Permanent Quarters.
The St. Paul Camera club last even
ing authorized contracts for new quar
ters and Increased Its membership above
the one hundred mark at Its meeting held
In the Ryan annex.
Fully 150 camera enthusiasts attended
the meeting, which was followed by an
exhibition of amateur stereoptlcon slides
given by E. J. Murdock, of the Minne
apolis Camera club.
President W. E. Johnson called the
meeting to order, and stated that the
gathering had been assembled primarily
to hear the report of the location commit
tee and to plan for the future activities
of other organizations. The committee
had canvassed tho situation thoroughly,
he said, and considered a half dozen lo
cotlons that had been offered, and had
decided upon the top floor of the build
ing owned by Mr. O'Nell, situated next
to the Minnesota club building. The
owner had agreed to make the necessary
alterations and repairs to suit the wishes
of the club. The floor space was 74x24,
and after considering the other buildings
that had been offered the committee de
cided to submit the matter to a vote of
the association. By reason of the cen
tral location and friendly attitude of
Mr. O'Nell towards the club, Mr. John
son said, he thought the meeting could
not do better than to ratify the report of
the committee.
President Johnson further explained
that the light facilities were all that
could be desired for the purpose of the
club.
On motion the president was author
ized to complete arrangements for the
least of part of the building. Following
tho adoption of the report President
Johnson spoke briefly of the future of the
club. He urged a larger membership,
and asked each member to constitute
himself as a membership committee to
secure additional members. With a mem
bership of over 100 before quarters were
secured it could be reasonably expected
that the membership would increase to
150 before autumn. The club was suc
cessfully launched on a firm basis and
Its future would only be determined by
the interest of Its members. President
Johnson suld one of the first departures
to bo taken up would be a membership
in the National Interchange association
having its headquarters in New York
One hundred lantern slides would have
tc be made by members of the club and
submitted to the association before a
membership could be secured. By an ex
change of slides with different cities of
the county the club couold cover a wide
diversity of subjects and become familiar
with the wish of other localities
Pending further arrangements for the
new quarters it was decided not to set
a date for a future meeting, but leave it
subject to the call of the president.
Several new names were submitted for
«PProyal, making a total membership of
10,. Mr. Murdock's views shown oon the
screen at the conclusion of the business
meeting were of Montana mountain scen

A mass meeting of all the Mothers'
clubs ln the city was held yesterday aft
ernoon at Unity church. The church was
filled with the representatives of the vari
ous clubs ln St. Paul, about 200 women
being present.
Mrs. Walter Chapln, president of the
Crocus Hill Mothers' club, presided. Miss
Hope's Juvenile orchestra played for an
opening number Sousa's march, "Amer
ica Forever," after which the chairman
Introduced Mrs. Bailey, the secretary,
who gave a short history of each of the
mothers' clubs In .St. Paul. There were
nine clubs in all, said the speaker, and
eight of these belonged to the general
club that is a part of the Federation or
Women's clubs. She gave the following
clubs ln the order of their organization: '
Crocus Hill, Dayton's Bluff, St. Anthony
Park, comprising Baker's and Murray
Hill clubs; Lower Town, Sibley, Jackson,
Drew and Monroe.
Mrs. C. A. Powers, the organizer of the
first mothers' club ln St. Paul, gave a
short talk on "The Ideals of Mothers'
Clubs." She said there were three points
in regard to these clubs that she wished
to bring out.
First, that they should be a help to
mothers In training children; second,
they should bring about the mother's
own culture; third, they should Inspire
mothers with higher ideals, that she may
help other women's children.
Miss Cameron played a piano solo and
Miss Firestone recited.
Mrs. Conde Hamlin, president of the
■Woman's Civic league was then intro
duced and told something of the work
that ls being accomplished by the league.
She said that while there were thous
ands of good mothers who stayed at home
and took care of their children, belonging
to no clubs whatsoever, and that while
it was impossible to deny that on them
depended the salvation of the world, yet
organization was a good thing, accom
plishing results that singly no Individual
could attain.
Mrs. Hamlin then sketched briefly the
work of the league and suggested that
the various mothers' clubs combine with
lt for the improvement of the city.
The principal paper of the afternoon
was read by Mrs. J. N. Stevens. The
subject was "Social Relations of the
Child," and the various problems the
theme occasioned were cleverly dealt with
by the writer.
"In bringing our thoughts to bear upon
the 'social relations of children,' we find,"
said Mrs. Stevens, "that the term covers
so wide a range of influence that one
shrinks from endeavoring to present
even a bird's-eye view of so broad and
intricate a subject. For all at once lt
appears that everything we call 'environ
ment' directly influences the social devel
opment of children."
Mrs. Stevens then discussed the var
ious outside influences that affect the
child ln his development and individually
gave much good advice to mothers in the
selection of their children's playmates,
the choosing of their games and their
literature. In directing of choice of these
various occupations for use ln training
children, only those which build up, Im
prove, relieve or elevate should be per
mitted.
Mrs. Powers offered a resolution which
was passed by the members present pro
viding for the more general exchange
cf social Intercourse among the various
mother's clubs ln the city.
The programme closed with a vocal
solo by Mrs. J. N. Punderson.
Af ter the meeting tea and. light refresh
ments were served.

WILL LOME FARMS
STATE AUDITOR DUNN TO BEGIN
THE SALE OF FORFEITED
LANDS
IT MAY WORK A HARDSHIP
But the Attention of tbe Legisla
ture "Warn Called to It, and In
atead ot Rectifying: It a Criticism
Was Leveled ait the State Ofllccr
for Alloivlng the Interest to Ac
cumulate.
State Auditor Dunn will commence his
first sale of forfeited school lands the
middle of next month and continue until
all the lands upon which interest is de
linquent have been sold is the section of
the state designated ln his recent circular.
Sales have been advertised for May 19
at Elk river and May 20 at Princeton.
Considerable pressure has been brought
to bear upon Mr. Dunn to have him re
cede from his position, but he asserted
yesterday that he would carry out his
original intention and resell all contracts
upon which Interest was delinquent.
Dates would be fixed within the next few
days which will keep the land department
busy until late ln Juno. The argument
has been made to the ctate auditor that
the foreclosure of tho state contracts on
the lands will work great hardship on the
people in the agricultural sections of tho
state. Mr. Dunn does not deny this, but
he Btated yesterday that the law was
from the start wrong, as It charged the
farmers an altogether too high rate of
interest. Those farmers that could afford
to do so paid up the amount due on the
contract, and under the money reached
the state treasury it was difficult to
obtain Investments in good securities
within the 3 per cent rate required by
law. On the other hand those who had
purchased state lands and could not af
ford to pay up the principal of the purch
ase price were charged a high rate of In
terest, resulting In an accumulation of
delinquent Interest and penalties each
year.
Mr. Dunn suggested a remedy to the
legislature, that in his opinion would
aleviate the whole question and put the
farmers on a same basis with other bor
rowers of money by a reduction of the
rate from sto 4 per cent. Mr. Dunn
argues that ln charging 6 per cent on land
contracts the farmer ls discriminated
against when the money that he pays in
ls at once re-loaned at 3 per cent. The
legislature took exception to the state
auditor's action in allowing the Interest
to go uncollected, but at the same time
refused to make lt easier for the holders
of the certificates.
A. Benham, of Hamiine, who has been
engaged In locating settlers on state
lands for twenty-five years, stated to the
Globe a few days ago that Mr. Dunn'_
clrcular would effect the holders of about
$4,000,000 worth of state land.
Mr. Benham felt that an Injustice was
being done in not giving the farmers a
longer notice in which to make good their
arrears. Mr. Benham said that few peo
ple realized what the resale of the land
certificates will mean to tha farmers liv
ing on state lands. He took a very
gloomy view of the situation and assert
ed that the sales would be a severe blow
to the agricultural Interests of the state.
In seme cases the farmers are many
years in arrears and Mr. Benham gave it
as bis opinion that many would loosa
their homes, as a result of the sale. He
stated that a lower rate of Interest was
greatly to be desired, but since the legis
lature had refused to make any conces
sion he thought a year's notice should be
given. Under the rule made by the state
auditor all holders of certificates will
have until the day of the sale to pay up
their Interest and penalties.
As the land Is scattered over all the
counties ln the first five congressional
districts and it is Impossible to determine
just how many settlers are effected until
a list for each county has been drawn
up by the state auditor. Mr. Benham
thinks that his estimate of a valuation
0C.K000.000 will come pretty close to the
state auditor's final figures.
During the year 1897, patents were ap
plied for upon 2S,fiS3 acres of school land
and $132,584.76 paid into the state treas
ury, and in 18PS the state received from
patents perfected $279,662.73, or a total of
$412,247.49 for the two years. The money
was at ence reloaned at 3 per cent, beir-.g
2 per cent less than the rate charged the
farmers of the state.
LUTHER LEAGUE CONVENTION
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE TWIN
CITY ORGANIZATION AT
MEMORIAL CHURCH
State Organization Meets Today—
Sentiment Expressed in Favor of
Ang-lklzallnii In the Church—
Some Interesting- Papers Read.
The first annual convention of the Min
nesota State Luther "league will convene
this morning at the Memorial Lutheran
Church on Sixth street, near Exchange.
The Twin City Central Luther league
met ln annual session at the church yes
terday and spent a very profitable day,
both spiritually and ln a material way.
Addresses were the feature of the pro
gramme and general plans for a contin
uance of the life of the organization in
the Twin Cities were completed.
In the absence of the president, Rev.
G. H. Trabert, William Lundgren pre
sided at the opening session ln the morn
ing. Rev. A. J. D. Haupt, of the Memorial
church, made the address of welcome,
followed by a response by Rev. A. Ram
sey, of St. John's English Lutheran
church, of Minneapolis.
Mr. Haupt spoke encouragingly of the
growth and progress of the league. Ho
thought the greatest barrier that had to
be overcome was the wide diversity in
the nationality of its members. Mr. Ram
sey said some opposition had come from
the pastors of the Twin Clties,~but the
Impression that had gained circulation
that the league was not a strong ally of
the church was a false conception.
M. S. Klndseth, of Minneapolis, thought
there should be no jealousy as to speech,
and he predicted a rapid outgrowing of
any such prejudice.
Rev. Mr. Haupt sounded the key note of
the discussion when he said the chief
hindrance to the society was the objec
tion of many of the Lutheran pastors to
the English sentiment among the young
people of the church.
A discussion of the problem followed
and there was a general sentiment in
favor of Angllcizatlon In the Lutheran
church, and lt was thought by many to be
a departure of the near future.
*Ewo papers were read during the after
noon. A paper written by Miss H. Pfef
fer upon the "Luther League" was read
by Pastor Lease. The work of the com
mittees was discussed In a paper by Pres
ident Trabert.
A short vesper service was held before
the address of the evening, which was de
livered by Rev. Alfred Ramsey, of Mln
rieapolls, on "The Measure of Responsi
bility."
