Extends a. Greeting? on Behalf of
the State, Mayor Ivlefer for St.
l'mil and Judge Molt, of Farl
ltault, Adds a Few Lines for the
Deaf People of Minnesttia.
A convention of the silent! A convention
whose laughter is inaudible, whose plau
dits are only gestures, whose brightest
bits of repartee must be conveyed by
flashing: eyes and nimble fingers!
Yet the 200 or more delegates who were
present yesterday morning in the house
of representatives, state capltol building,
when Presrdent Koehler called together
the sixth annual convention of the Na
tional Association of the Deaf did not in
spire one with feelings of commiseration
for their affliction. In fact there was room
for little but wonder that a gathering
of human beings so afflcted should pres
ent the bright, alert appearance it did, or,
in fact, come together at all to discuss
means for the bettering or improvement
of the condition of its members. Besides
the delegates there was a fair sprinkling
of visitors present, ana these with the
guests of honor increased the number
to a gathering that fairly filled the hall.
Three large American flags formed the
simple, but effective decorations.
Rev. J. M. Koehler, the president, who
is also pastor of All Soul's church, Phil
adelphia, is a man of imposing appear
ance, and his thoughtful face gives evi
dence of rare intellectual attainments.
President Koehler first announced the
executive committee as follows: Rev. J.
H. Cloud, St. Louis, Mo.; George T.
Dougherty, Chicago; Mrs. O. Hanson,
Faribault, Minn.; R. M. Ziegler, Mt. Airy,
Pa.; Rev. J. M. Koehler (ex-oflicio), Phil
adelphia, Pa.; J. S. Vail, Indianapolis,
Ind.; George W. Veditz, Denver, Col.;
Theodore D. Estrella, Berkeley, Cal.;
Thomas F. Fox, New York city; Rev. A.
W. Mann, Gambler, O.; W. H. Rothert,
Omaha, Neb.; George S. Porter, Tram
low, N. J.
Bishop Gilbert was introduced and made
the invocation, after which Gov. Lind
WELCOMED THE MEMBERS
of the association on behalf of the state.
The governor's speech was interpreted by
Miss Clara Halverson, of St. Paul.
"We are accustomed," said the speak
er, "to look upon the silent force that
moves our street cars along the avenues
and the steam cars that brought you
here in magnificient trains from distant
parts of the country in a brief space of
time, as the marvels of the age, but to
my mind human skill and ingenuity has
accomplished no greater feat than that
which enables you to be here today to
undertake and to do the work which I
know that you will perform so well." The
governor spoke of the pleasure it afforded
him to attend the commencement exer
vices held recently at Faribault, and ex
pressed his astonishment not only at the
great strides which had been made in
improved methods of instructing the deaf,
but also at the wonderful receptivenesa
of the afflicted. Gov. Lind told of the
neglect of the deaf in earlier times, and
contrasted it with the wisp care bestow
ed on them in the present civilization.
Concluding he welcomed the members of
the convention most heartily in the name
of the state.
The welcome of the city was extended
by Mayor Ki.-fer, his hearty greetings
being translated into the finger language
by Miss Pearl Herdman, of St. Louis.
JI'DGE MOTT ADDS SOMETHING.
Judge Mott, of Faribault who has lived
for more than thirty years beside the
school for the deaf in Faribault, welcom
ed the delegates on behalf of the deaf
people of Minnesota. The speaker gave
the interesting information that practi
cally all of the graduates from the.institu
tions for the education of the deaf were
self-supporting. Rev. D. F. Bangs, super
intendent of the .school for the deaf at
Devil's Lake, N. D., interpreted Judge
Mott's address. Brief addresses were algo:
given by Superintendent Clark, of the
school for the deaf at Flint, Mich.; Mr.
Bangs, of Devil's Lake, N. D.; Dr. Noyes',
superintendent of the school for the deaf
at Faribault, and Dr. De Motte, of In
dianapolis, professor in a school for the
deaf. Dr. De Motte also read the presi
dent's address, while President Koehler
gave it in the sign language.
"The cordial welcomes to this progres
sive state and beautiful city by the emi
nent gentlemen who have Just ad
dressed us," said the speaker, "merit
our warmest appreciation, while the gen
erous arrangements made for our enter
tainment and the excellent programme
offered leave nothing to be desired in
this connection. A meeting, both profi
table and pleasant, Is thereby assured us.
May it be written among the most en
joyable and successful yet held."
SUBJECTS TO BE CONSIDERED.
President Koehler then mentioned
briefly the more important matters
which are to be brought before the con
vention. He recommended that the of
f'eers' powers be increased, stating that
aa at present constituted the affairs are
as so many 'figure heads." with the ex
ception of th.« pivsi<i..-r.t, having no voice
■ n the direction of affairs during the in
tervals hctwecn the conventions. n e
recorr.menri.-l that the officers be mrde
members of the executive committee.
"The question is often asked," contin
ued the president, " 'What practical pur
pose do gatherings of this kind serve?'
And it is a question not easily nor satis
factorily answered at all times. . I am
sure, however, that much good must bo
accomplished through these periodical
meetings, not only of this national asso
ciation, but of the various state societies,
in calling attention to the nMterlal ad
\£incement of th» deaf as a class: their
attainments and capabilities; to disabuse
the public mind of the many fallacies and
prejudices entertained concorning us; to
call attention to ways and means for bet
tering their condition, and for the mutual
assistance and encouragement attendant
upon the gathering .of a widely scattered
people. Judged from results in the past
it is evident that if wisely managed our
association may be made the means of
great lasting good."
The speaker urged the necessity of stir
ring to increase the membership. Touch-,
ing upon the work accomplished by tho
association, he said: "The only project
of a national character in which the as
sociation has been engaged was the erec
tion of the statute to Dr. Thomas Hop
kins Galaludet at Washington, D. C for
which ?12,000 was raised. I want to sug
gest now a project that may well enlist
our best sympathies and energies toward
accomplishment. It is to take steps look
ing toward the establishment of a school
for deaf muntes in Alaska. Some time
ago my attention was called to the fact
that there is a very large number of un
educated deaf mutes in Alaska,<and that
it is constantly increasing. My corre
spondent informs me that there are 200
on the Yukon river and delta, and that
from reports by natives and miners he
is led to believe that a large propntion of
the population on the head waters of the
Koyukuk consists of vieaf mutes whoso
condition is wretched." The speaker
touched upon the matter of representa
tion at the proposed international con
gress of the deaf to be held in Paris next
year, recommending that the five Amer
ican members of the international com
mittee be made the representatives of the
association now in session. He also rec
ommended that greetings be sent to the
British congress of the deaf, which con
vense at Liverpool July 24.
READING OF REPORTS.
The president's. address was followed by
the reading of various reports. A. R.
Spear, of St. Paul, chairman of the local
ecmmittee, outlined the plan.for the en
tertainment of the delegates. " The morn-

Thursday, the delegates spending the en
tire day at Lake MinnetOnka,
Yesterday afternoon the parlor floor of
the Windsor was given over entirely to
the deaf mutes who gathered In con
genial little groups, talking to old friends
or making new ones. In a secluded
corner or on the stairway a lad anil
lasßie mibht be seen conversing blithly
together convincing one that the old.
old story does not necessarily have to be
spoken. Here a group of gentlemen
were gesticulating their opinion of the
late war, or the government, perhaps.
There, a gathering of matrons wera
nimbly imparting recipes, no doubt, 01
exchanging housekeeping experiences.
That jokes, and clever jokes, too, wera
often cracked, was plainly evidenced by
the merry glances exchanged among tha
members of the various groups. Many
of the members can talk, their speech
being marred only by a slurring of the
syllables and a rapid utterance. Though
the majority communicate with one an.
other by spelling on the fingers a great
number use the sign language gesture
expressing a sentence. In this way, of
course, they communicate their thoughts
much quicker than they could by spoken
language.
ONE COLORED DELEGATE.
Miss Blanche Wllkins, of Alabama, a
graduate of Faribault, is the only col
ored delegate. Miss Wilkins has taught
in various schools for the deaf in Ala
bama, and is considered a very bright
and capable teacher.
The executive committee met in the
afternoon. It will present its report to
the convention either today or Friday.
Mr. W. R. Hutchison, of Alabama, In
ventor of the ''akoulallion," an instru
ment to enable the deaf to hear, madeji
number of interesting experiments with
his invention during the afternoon. A
band with plates, to be fastened over the
ears, is placed about the deaf mute's
head. By means of a tube, this arrange
ment communicates with a battery and
switchboard. The latter regulates the
Intensity of the sound communicated by
means of the electricity.
INFORMAL RECEPTION.
An informal reception was held last
evening in the parlors of the Windsor.
Pretty frocks and fragrant flowers woT3
in evidence. The affair was delightfully
informal, there being no set reception
committee, but everybody saw that
everybody else had a good time. At 10
o'clock the guests sat down to an elab
orate banquet. Four large tables were
arranged in the form of a "W" In the
ordinary of the hotel, and the feast was
brightened by centerpieces of cut flow
ers etched out with palms and ferns.
Short after-dinner speeches were rapidly
communicated by means of the fingers,
and though the banquet was a noiseless
one .it was neverthless a Jolly one.
BENSON THROWN DOWN.
Will Not Serve on the Board of
Equalization Thin Year.
The board of aldermen having eleven
members and the assembly but nine ex
plains why three members of the board
and but one member of the assembly
were chosen as city representatives on
the board of equalization and abatement
yesterday. The salary paid each of the
members of the board is $3 per day for
twenty-four days on the board of equali
zation and the same amount per day for
each day's work as a member of the
board of abatement. The position means
about $200 to each of the members.
A meeting of the joint bodies was called
for yesterday afternoon for the purpose
of considering the school board budget,
which was submitted by Mayor Kiefer
with the recommendation that the sug
gestions of the school board be granted.
Previous to the session of the common
council the board of aldermen held a cau
trus and agreed to vote as a unit for the
selection of Aid. Reeves, Kenny and
Murphy and Assemblyman Warner aa
members of the board of equalization and
abatement.
When the joint bodies were called to
order by President Denny the school
budget and the communication from t the
mayor accompanying it were quickly
disposed of by referring it to the joint
committees on ways and means from
both bodies.
Aid. Bantz then moved . that the coun
cil proceed to ballot for four members
of the board of equalization and abate
ment. , Assemblyman Benson, who served
as' one of the members of this board last
year, objected to this, and wanted a res
olution passed naming himself and As
semblyman Warner aa the two members
from the assembly and any two members
of the board of aldermen that body saw
fit to name. The proposition of Mr. Ben- :
son was voted down by a vote of 13
ajrainst to 7 for.
A ballot was then taken, It being under
stood that the four councilmen receiving
the highest vote . should be declared the
choice for the positions. Assemblyman
Warner received IS votes, Aid. Murphy 17,
Aid. Reeves 16 and Aid Kenny.l2.
A resolution naming the quartette was
adopted by a vote of 12 to 7, those voting
against its passage being Assemblyman
Benson, Craig, Dix, Nelson, Thompson,
Warner and Denny.

COVCERTS AT COMO.
Heat of the City and the Band At
traction Drnw Crowds.
The hot weather of yesterday was the
sort that is calculated to increase the
attendance at the parks and resorts of
the city. Last night Como park was
visited by one of the largest audiences
of the summer. In addition to the beau
tiful park and the cool breezes of the
lake there was a double attraction in
the shape of a concert by the Minnesota
State band. ' - . .«..-,■
Yesterday evening's concert was excel
lent In character and pleased the Im
mense throng in a decided manner. Prof.

In cleverness and popularity and It han
dles most difficult selections without
trouble. Tonight's programme will con

by Rosini; the Festival march, "Tann

private drinking fountains would have I
to be equipped with automatic shut- j
offs before watVr would be turned on. !
Further than this 'the board decided ;
that next year rionejof the fountains now !
in operation would n»ve tne water turned
on until the shuS-offs had been put in.
There are at present about thirty of I
these fountains hi the city and Secretary j
Caulfleld has ftgmred it out that nearly j
a million gallons of water are used daily
at the fountains. About three-fourths ;
of this number of gallons Is wasted ow
ing to there beinflr no way to regulate the ;
flow of water n'hMi t»ie bastn in full. I
This amount of .water if disposed of at ;
the regular rate would amount to $90 per
day. By the use of automatic cut- I
offs, which allows Tne basin to fiil only )
when necessary, it is estimated only i
about one-third as much water would
be used and the benefits would be the
same. It is estimated that each of the I
drinking fountains could be supplied
with the cut-offs at a cost of not to ex
ceed $10.
A six-im-h main was directed laid on
Grand avenue, from Cleveland avenue
east 500 ftet.
Claims am^uiitiug £) $11,532.08 were ap-
proved, of which »0,000 wag placed In th«
sinking fund of the board.
The secretary was directed to adver
tise for bids for eight tons of five.

CHIEF COOK CALLS ATTENTION TO
"WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
A SERIOUS MATTER
Three Engines at the Feed Ware
house 3lo<nday Unable to Get Any
Water-In Fntnre Connection*
"Will Be Mude With Large Main.
At the meeting of the board of flre com
missioners last night Chief Cook called
the attention of the board to what might
have proved a serious matter had the
lire in the St. Paul Flour & Feed com
pany's plant Monday morning not been,
under control within a short time after
it started. Chief Cook said he had eight
engines at the fire. Three were stationed
on Fourth street and five on Fifth street.
The engines on Fourth street had plenty
of water, as there was a twelve-inch main
on the street. On Fifth street, however,
the case was very different. The engine
at Nelll and Fifth streets with one line
of hose had plenty of water. . Three en
gines stationed at the Intersections of
Fifth street with Wllllua. Locut and John
with two lines of hose each were short
of water, and the engine at Olive and
Fifth street could get no water at all.
The main on Fifth street, the chief said,
was a six-inch one, and he suggested
that a larger main be placed on the
street. Had the flre not been under con
trol within thirty minutes after the de
partment arrived on the scene the short
age of water might have caused consid
erable loss. ■• "- •'■ . •
The members of the board advised that
in the future'the captains of engine com
panies be.furnished witn maps showing
the size of the mains on the streets par
ticularly, in the business district, and that
whenever possible engines should be sta
tioned on streets where there was twelve-
Inch mains, even if an additional one or
two blocks of hose had to be stretched.
This the board thought would be less
expensive than to have the water board
lay new mains. •
The resignation of Thomas Hanlon as
was tendered and accepted. Hanlon has
been In the department as an operator
for two years at a salary of $50 per
month. His successor was not named.
President Clark informed the board that
he had suggested to the conference com
mittee that the police alarm system could
be united with the fire alarm system, and
both operated under one superintendent.
The only additional expense would be two
linemen at $70 per month each. This Mr.
Clark said would save money for the
city as well as for the fire department.
Bills amounting to $218.93 were approved
and the secretary reported a balance on
hand of $84,599.25.
Electrical Inspector "Varnum reported
ninety-two inspections during the month
of June, and seventy-one permits issued
for new work estimated at $2,397. He also
exhibited a piece of gas pipe which had
been burned through by coming In con
tact with an electric lig-ht wire on the
top floor of the Colonnade, and caused a
fire In the building. The building has
since then been rewired.
INSURANCE DECISION.
Supreme Court Takes a Different
View From Lower Court.
The supreme court yesterday, in the
case of C. L. Brown against the Equita
ble Life Assurance Society of the United
States, handed down a decision granting
a new trial. The case involves the liabil
ity of an insurance company to a policy
holder after the policy had been trans
ferred to a second party and premium
payments made by the second party for
a long period. In the case at issue the
plaintiff sues the insurance company to
enforce his- rights under the policy. He
transferred the policy to the Security
Bank of Minneapolis, ten years ago, on
a claim which the bank held against
him. Since then the bank has kept up
the payments of the premiums as they
fall due. The insured now steps in and
asks the court to recognize his claim.
The supreme court reverses the order of
the lower court.
The syllabus is as follows:
Cyrus L. Brown, respondent, vs. Equita
ble Life Assurance Society of the Unit
ed States, appellant.
Syllabus on Re-argument—Held, that
the policy, being valid when issued, was
assignable by plaintiff to H. and by H
to the bank.
Also that the bank would take the pol
icy subject to the equities of the plaintiff
unless the conduct of the latter was such
as to equitably estop him, but the mere
fact that the assignment from him to H.
was absolute in form would not create
such an estoppel.
But the laches of the plaintiff and his
practical abandonment of the policy for
eleven years by neglecting to take any
active measures to recover it from H
and neglecting during all that time to
pay the premiums necessary to keep it
from lapsing, would estop him from as
serting any rights under the policy or
attempting to avail himself of its benefits
as against H. (or his assignee, the bank),
who had kept It alive by paying the
premiums at his own expense.
Order reversed and new trial granted.
COMPLAINT WAS LEAKY,
Bat Daniel Rawltseher's Attorney
Cnn Try Again.
Judge Brill yesterday filed an order sus
taining the demurrer to the complaint
In the case of Dave Rawltscher against
Jacob Litt. The plaintiff, however, la
given leave to amend his complaint
within twenty day 3.
Rawitscher brought suit, through his
attorney, S. P. Crosby, against Jacob
Litt for $1,500 damages on account of be
ing ejected from the Grand opera house
by one of the employes. Rawitscher re
fused to remove his hat during the per
formance. In the memorandum accom.
panying the ordor the court says:
"It may not be entirely certain, but I
think this complaint comes fairly within
the decision in Campbell vs. Northern Pa
cific Railroad company, 51 Minn., 488. It
is desirable to start an action with a
complaint which is not open to question,
and it is not difficult to draw such a com
plaint In an action of this kind. All that
Is necessary is to allege that the act
complained of was done by defendant
or by the defendant through hid servant,
naming him, acting under the authority
of defendant or in the course of his
employment. The demurrer is technical
rather than substantial, and the question
being a dose one the amendment is al
lowed without costs."

TBROWMROMATRAIN
EDWARD H. ZIKSR FALLS FROM
THE FLATFOR3I OF A WHITE
BEAR SUBURBAN
ON" THE DULUTH EAILEOAD
Runnlne at a. Ilig-h Speed, It Round
ed a Curve Near Lake Shore, and
the Deceaaed Lost His Balance-
When Picked i:p It Wan Found
That IIU Skull Hud Been Frac
. tured.
Edward H. Zlese, a cogarmaker, living
at Broadway and Thirteenth street, was
yesterday almost instantly killed by fall
ing from a St. Paul & Duluth train, near
the Northern Pacific junction, a mile this
sido of. "White Bear lake. Ziese was on
the platform, of the second coach of the
train that left the depot for White Bear
at 5:05. As the train rounded a curve
near the junction the coach lurched side
ways and Ziese was thrown off. He fell
upon his head, fracturing the skull.
The train upon which Ziese was riding
makes a through run to the lake without
stopping at intermediate points, and was
going at a high rate of speed. Zie3e was
leaning against the end of the coach and
propping himself with one foot on the
opposite railing. .-. As the train entered
the curve the coach rocked sufficiently to
dislodge Zlese, and he pitched to the
ground. In falling he made a desperate
effort to grab the railing, but waa hurled
outward so quickly that he could not
save himself. .
As soon as the train could be stopped
it backed up to where Zlese lay doubled
up between the two tracks. Ziese waa
quite still and limp, bleeding from a
slight cut over the nose. No other signs
of external injury were apparent, but a
physician on the train, as soon as Ziese
had been picked up, said that Ziese was
fatally hurt. He was placed aboard the
train and taken to White Bear. Before
the train reached this point life was ex
tinct. '
Deputy Coroner Francis took charge of
the body at the lake and brought it to
the city later, on the 9:05 train. The body
was turned over to Undertaker Nagel.
Ziese was 35 years of age and married.
His wife survives him. When the acci
dent happened ho was on the way to
White Bear lake to spend the night with
a friend, expecting to rise early thl3
morning and go fishing. ,
In connection with the accident, a num
ber of passengers on the train were In
clined to criticise the road for not run
ning more coaches in order that passen
gers might find seats inside .instead of
having to stand on the platforms. The
criticism was hardly fair In this case, as
the rear coach was but partially filled
with passengers. The train was in charge
of Engineer E. B. Salisbury and Conduc
tor George R. Woormwood.
TWO DAIRYMEN LICENSED,
And Dr. Ohage Say. He Will Stand
by Them.
Health Commissioner Ohage yesterday
filed with the city clerk the names of Mat
Sclmr.no and Olaf Felthelm as proper
persons to have a license granted to
them under the new milk ordinance. Tn«
Information accompanying the recom
mendation for the issuance of the licenses
stated that the dairies of both applicants
as well as their herds had been examined
and inspected. .
In speaking of the matter yesterday af
ternoon Commissioner Ohage said he In
tended standing by Schanno and Felt
helm end doing all that ho could for
them. The men had filed application for
licenses under the new ordinance and
had not protested against the payment
of the fees for having their herds In
spected. This had aroused the lro of the
other dairymen and' Commissioner Ohage
paid ha understood that the twain were
to be boycotted and a plan wa3 on foot
to havo milk wagons follow those of
Schanno and Felthelm and offer milk to "
customers at forty quarts for $1.
Both Schanno and Feltheim, Commis
sioner Ohage said, had complied with the
ordinance, and in Schanno'a case when
the inspector con4emned fourteen of the
thirty-eight cows in hl3 herd Schanno
had made no objection, although It was
a hard blow from a financial standpoint.
Kach of the fifty cows in Felthclm'a herd,
the commissioner said, passed the in- '
spection made by the inspectors ana none
were diseased.

DOWN THE SELBY HILL.
E. W. Feet's Favourite Driving Horse
Tried the Grade.
E. W. Peet's favorite driving horse took
a short cut down town yesterday, . racing
furiously down the Selby avenue hill. No
one was In the buggy. The horse broke
away from a hitching post in front of
Mr. Peet's residence and ran down Sum
mit avenue. At the top of the Incline
the animal swerved toward tho brow of
the hill and galloped down the steep
grade. There were no cars on the hill, so
the horse had a clear track. At the foot
of the hill the runaway was stopped by
Arthur Keller, a driver for Haas Bros.,
the Rice street butchers. The buggy waa
but slightly damaged.
Two of the "Firsts."
The "North-Western Limited" was tha
first vestibule train, as well as the first
train equipped with compartment sleep
ers, buffet library or club room cars west
of Chicago.and with its 406 electric lights,
together with Pintsch gas chandeliers, is
the most brilliantly illuminated train In
the world.
The "Badger State" Express, with its
combination observation cafe parlor cars
and modern day coaches lUted with the
new broad safety vestibules, is also tho
first train of its kind west of Chicago.
These are the kind of trains that give
the North-Western Line the reputation
of furnishing the best accommodations
for travel between the Twin Cities and
Chicago, and of being the first, not only
to provide all the improvements to make
travel comfortable at night, but also by
day.
