George Goodwin Dewey. pon of Admiral
Dewey, was a St. Paul visitor yesterday,
but no brass bands heralded.his presence.
Indeed, It was kept very, very quiet. Al
though he was a guest of the Ryan, a
careful perusal of the register would not
have revealed his presence. If there is
any one thing that Dewey flls dreada
worse that the Filipinos fear the heavy
guns of Dewey pere, it is the peace-de
stroying- pencil of the newspaper man.

father to thread th 9 passage of Corregl

sticks to his determination to let the
family find fame through the naval prow

Goodwin- Dewey's mission in St. Paul
now is one. of importance, but not spec
tacular, however much it may be of in
terest to the fair sex. Mr. Dewey is sell
ing "prints," which perhaps accounts for
the fact that he had his mail addressed
In care of I.indake, "Warner & Schurmeier,
in order to avoid the notice* of possible
chance callers at the hotels, who might
ask for "the D's." .-;'■".-:'- • '• .
That a man who lives by print should
be so afraid of print seems almost para
doxical, but then the prints in which Mr.
Dewey deals are figured, and figures don't
He, which can't always be said for the
other prints, hence his caution.
In person Mr. Dewey is a mar. of less
than medium height and rather slender,
but with a keen eye, a trace of the famil
iar features of his father, and a mouth
that looks as if it could keep Its own
counsel, an appearance It does not bello,
at least so far as concerns interviewers.
Quiet in dress, suave in manner, Mr.
Dewey is every inch in appearance, as in
fact, the metropolitan business represent
ative. No one who has done -business'
with Mr. Dewey Jr. will doubt for a mo
ment that he could tell you if he would
why Merrimac,after all Hobson's adver

Washington 3-4 goes for <i, and George
Washington X 4-4 for SH£ cents. Nor
would it bother him in the least, prob
ably, to explain why Cocheco (Chocolate,
with all the traditions of the romantic
dalles of the St. Croix to endear it to
feminlnty hereabouts, is worth no more
to the local jobbing . trade than Pacific
mousseline, and but a fraction of a cent
better than Manchester Rarnuge. Garner
fancies at 4 cents, while Nubian and In
dian cashmere alike scale 10%, seems like
a discrimination in behalf .of foreign
made goods to demand the intervention,
if. not of an admiral, at least of the son
of an admiral, and it is not in apropos,
therefore, that Mr. Dewey's errand to St.
Paul should be the illumination of the
print market by late patterns and prices
from the East.
Mr. Dewey's reticence under the per
suasive processes of the press is not to
be wondered at, when one is made famil
iar 'v£ith some of the alleged bon mots
with which the young business man has
been perplexed since May 1 of IS9B. Of
course he carries samples. Here is one,
abstracted from his telescope:
First Drummer (patronizingly)— You
know, George, you're so like your father,
you figure in the prints so much,-
Second Drummer—l think 111 go to
bed.
Here's another:
"Very different from your father,
George."
"How's that?"
"He introduces his goods without a per
sonal visit."

cause of Its Length—Care of Chil
dren Considered.
The Minnesota Homeopathic associa
tion convened in annual session yester
day in the Hall of Representatives and
spent the day with a strictly technical
discussion of medical subjects.
The institute will continue in session
today and tomorrow. The visiting phys
icians will banquet this evening at the
Aberdeen. ■
Dr. T. J. Gray read a paper In which
he took the position that the "early
operation" in cases of appendicitis was
no longer in harmony with the best judg
ment of the profession. Dr. Gray advo
cated very strongly and commended a
more extended use of medical treatment
In caaes of appendicitis. "Nature has
great resources," said Dr. Gray, "and the
natural agency should be given a chance
to relieve the patient." The growing
conservatism of the profession was in
sympathy with this view of the question,
Dr. Gray thought. Yet an immediate re
sort .to surgery was often the
only thing that could be. done
to save the patient's life. This was
frequently the case when the disease
was not diagnosed. in its early stages.
In cases where It was taken in time he
thought medical treatment was most ef
fective.
ON CARE OF CHILDREN.
"When babies were first born. 1 used
to see the people' gather and make a
paste of red pepper and grease, which
was then rubbed into the flesh of the in
fant, in his mouth, and ears, and 1 pre
sume some of it got Into his eyes. If
the baby survived, his parents said he
was a strong and healthy baby, and
would be carefully brought up. If he
died, everyone said he was sickly and
would have died anyhow. Then his lit
tle body would be used for alligator
bait."
Dr. Perry made the remarks quoted
above and supplemented them with r.n
explanation that it happened in Central
Africa, when he was a missionary in his
younger years. The remark waa called
out in a discussion .of a paper read by
Dr. E. E. Hurd, of Minneapolis, upon
"The Care of the Child During the First
Year."
Dr. Hurd in her paper expressed regret
at the prevalent failure on the part of
parents to educate their daughters with
a sense of the seriousness of their sex
and the grave problems which after years
would bring them. She believed no fam
ily physician had discharged his duty to
parents until he had induced them to give
their children a broad and liberal educa
tion In the problems of sex.
Dr. H. R. Rowe, of Minneapolis, dur
ing the general discussion, touched upon
the prenatal influence which might be
brought to bear upon the child. He was of
the opinion that the mother could con
vey strong mental impressions and In
fluences to the mind of the child. In hia
own practice, he proceeded along this
line, and advised mothers among his
patients to pursue such lines of thought
as would leave a pleasing and desirable
mental impress upon the life of the child.
Dr. Ogden, of St. Paul, had little faith
In this theory so far as physical impres
sions and marks were concerned, but did
believe there was truth in the theory
so far as mental impressions were con
cerned.
Other papers were read as follows:
"Convulsions," Esther H. Young, Minne
apolis; "Scarlet Fever," Dr. H. W.
Brazie, Minneapolis; "Vaccination," Dr.

CHANCE FOR MOAK.
Humane Society MiKlit Inquire
Aliffot Such Parent*! as Thexe.
Huddled in a down-town doorway at 2
o'clock yesterday morning, Officer Ham
mergreen found two little waifs, Nicholas
Daliment and Frank Moshot, wet to the
skin by the pouring rain and crying with
fright. One of the youngsters is nine
years old, the other but six. Asked why
they were not at home the older of the
boys said because they had not made
sufficient money selling papers. They
must have 20 cents when they returned
home, the boy said, or they would rec
eive a whipping. It had rained during
the early part of the evening, and the
sale for papers had been slow, so the lad
said he and his companion preferred to
stay out in the weather rather than go
home without enough money.
Officer Hammergreen took the young
sters to the central station, where Matron
Cummings tucked them snugly away in a
warm bed, and they soon forgot their
troubles in slumber. Yesterday morning
they were sent to their parents, who live
on the upper flats, near the high bridge.

HE WAS BURKED ALIVE
HORRIBLE DEATH OK ''OLD BILL"

FISHERMAN"
ONLY CHARRED BONES LETT

When Neighbor* Searched the Ru
in* of Hlm Cabin Yeiiierday-What
Little Wns Left Wan Brought to
the City for Burial, He. Having
Been '; a , Veteran of the Civil
War.
"Old Bill" Hill, as he was known, an
aged recluse living at Lake Charlie, ten
miles out the Rice street road, met a hor
rible death in his lonely cabin -Monday
night by burning. The cabin was burned
down, and "Old .Bill" was incinerate;!
alive. When the premises were -examined
yesterday all that was left of the old man
was a few, charred bones and a part of
head. Coroner Nelson investigated
the case, and decided that Hill's death
was due purely to accident.
For many years, perhaps twenty-five
or thirty, "Old Bill" was a familiar figure
at Lake Charlie and the vicinity. He was
seventy-two years of age,..and always
lived , alone. His wants were few, and
he eked out his lonely existence by. means
of trapping and -fishing. .He was an old
soldier,, and of late years -received' a pen
sion. rif $12 : a month. He had also been
game: warden. '
Monday morning the old man
. walked.. info (.he city; and Is said to have
imbibed,.quite freely. On his way home
in the evening he -stopped at the home
of his nearest neighbor; Alton Palmer.
His condition; was such that;. Mr.-. Palmer
sent one of his sons home with him! When
"Old. BHIV -.cabin was reached the' boy
built a fire and left.. When about to retire
shortly ; after 11 "o'clock, Mrs. -Palmer
saw a light in the 1 direction of the old
man's home, and called her husband. Mr.
Palmer and two of his sons hurried to
the cabin to find it wrapped in flames.
They called "Old Bill's" name, but . re
ceived no response. The fire burned too
fiercely for them to enter the cabin, and
when a search was yesterday made for
the occupant his charred bones were
found among" the ashes. • ..
It Is believed that the cabin caught fire
from sparks from the stove or possibly
that the old man may have overturned a
lamp in preparing to retire.
r So far as is known-the dead man has
no relatives in this part of the country
now, although a number of years ago he
had two sons Irving in St. Paul. He him
self was a printer, and years ago held
cases on the Globe.
He mingled freely with those who knew
him, but discussed his personal affairs
but little. He has friends or.lelatives
somewhere, as he is said to have regularly
received letters from them. While al
ways known as "Old Bill Hill," It is said
that the unfortunate man's correct name
was James W. Hill. •?>-'•".~V
The remains were taken in charge -by
Capt. Henry Hoyt. the burial agent of the
federal government, and will be interred
at the expense of the country for which
he fought. ■ ■
