Insurance Commissioner O'ShaughneSsoy is preparing to send a letter to all fire insurance companies, asking them to withdraw all correspondence sent to Min nesota agents as a result of the Western Union's action on separation. Mr. O'Shaughnessey was asked yesterday if he would allow the subject to remain in abeyance until the law has been tested in the courts, and he says he will not. His position is that the ruling Is ac cording to the law, and until the law has been proven not to apply to insurance companies by a test case or otherwise It will have to be lived up to. Representatives of non-union companies here say that any test will have to be brought solely by the union; that the non-union companies will not put them selves in the light of attacking a law which Is already satisfactory to them. TWO OF THEM ACQUITTED. But One of the La Riviere Brothers Must Yet Stand Trial.

Mr. War ner, in making the presentation, referred to Mr. Hamlin's willingness to join heart and hand in any scheme that was for the upbuilding of the city, and of the appreciation which the business men felt for his influence In promoting projects that were of most vital interest to the business men. George Thompson presented Mr. Ham lin with a silver loving cup. His talk was along happy lines, asserting that good fellowship among the business men was ever a factor for success In a city of the size of St. Paul. In presenting the cup he said it carried with it the best expression of good will towards Mr. Ham lin that could be given by those who had known him best In a business way. A magnificent silver .service and set, Including over 100 pieces, only added to Mr. Hamlin's bewilderment. The spokes man for the silver set was Jesse A. Gregg. He spoke particularly of Mr. Hamlin's services as president of the Commercial club and of the impetus and life which his influence had carried, of all enterprises in which he had been as sociated. The speaker referred to the bringing home of the Thirteenth regi ment through the dollar subscriptions, and of the dispatch and system with which the project had been completed. Referring to the Commercial club Mr. Gregg said that no one knew better than he tiie many difficulties which had to be bridged and the amount of work that was done through the inner workings of the organization. Mr. Hamlin was visibly affected by the overwhelming expression of esteem, and spoke with fervor of the cordial rela tions existing among business men. Fol lowing his response short talks were made by A. K. Pruden, M. D. Munn, Ike Lederer. E. C. Stringer, H. P. Hall, H. W. Fagley and others. ■ -^ SOCIETY EVENTS OF THE DAY MRS. HORACE E.

The shops have managed to set forth a most tempting array of neckwear; any thing from the tiniest bit of a t>ow to a whole cape with stole ends fairly touch ing the floor. • • * Busy women especially are glad to be able to buy ready-made stocks with any and every degree of trimming thereon, and at corresponding various prices. One sort has appended to its silk-cov ered stock a large bow with broadening ends which reach quite to the belt. The fancy edge is put on with hemstitch ing. • • • Neckwear In silk is naturally more dur able than that made of mousseline or other gauze-like fabric. Liberty silk however, is really serviceable. • • • Hand-painted trifles are not at all tri fles as to price. Violets, pansies and wild roses are favorites for this charm- Ing decoration. • • • The picturesque scarfs, to be tied when one dons them, are likewise likely to boast painted posies. • ♦ ♦ Some of this neckwear, designed for oc casions, Is even of panne and the other stuffs which look heavy. In reality panne weighs no more than satin an tique. • • • More women would be better dressed If they thought twice before donning their neckwear. While there Is any amount of the elaborate sort to bs worn with handsome toilettes, there's an equally large amount just suited for wear with the plainest tailor made. WATER WAS TOO COLD. It Brought Peter P. Becker Ont of a Suicidal Notion. Peter P. Becker, a tailor living at 386 Rice street, yesterday determined to com mit suicide by drowning, but the water was sufficiently cold to shake his resolu tion. It is said Becker has been drinking heavily and was despondent. After writ- Ing a card explaining his reasons for the act, Becker went to the river at the foot of Chestnut street, piled his clothing on the bank, and attached himself to a pole that was expected to act as a sort of buoy to show the location of the remains. Then he waded in up to his waist when he was seized with a chill that reminded him that life was worth living after all. He climbed out of the river in front of the central station after a long wade and went to the station to get warm. He un bosomed himself to the police and as his desire for suicide had passed away was sent home. A Haynes portrait of father or mother will be a joy and comfort when both are gone.

KNOTT SEHVINU FORTY DAYS IN THE MINNE APOLIS INSTITUTION ACCUSED OF PETTY LARCENY, Convicted on Circnnistantlal Evi dence, but Stoutly Denies That She In a Thlcf—Wns at One Time Leading Soprano In the Dull Opera Company and Later Was With Corlnne. The woman's ward at the Minneapolis workhouse this week has rather an un usual prisoner in the person of Lillian M. Knott (Mrs. Joseph Barnett), at one time Camille D'Arvllle's understudy in "Made line or the Magic Kiss," and who later san;* leading roles with Corlnne and the Duff Opera companies. She was sent to the workhouse the other day to serve a forly-day sentence upon complaint of Minnie Steele, a colored woman, who was also sent up for sixty days the same day on an old commitment, and who claimed that Lillian had stolen her jacket. Miss Knott's parents reside at Terre Haute, Tnd., where her father Is manager of the Wabash Iron works. At the Mil v. aukee ticket office a ticket home awaits her, which was forwarded to her by her father and which arrived the day she was sent to the workhouse. Yesterday al though on the verge of collapse, following a recent attack of typhoid fever, she worked at the wash tub with the other female prisoners at the workhouse. Miss Knott states that she was born In Marietta, 0., end loved singing from the time she was a dhild in shcrt dresses. She obtained the best vocal Instruction to be had and for six years was a student at the Cincinnati Musical college, receiv ing her final instruction in a Boston vocal scliool, and making her stage debut with the Duff Opera company. After that she was understudy for D'Arville for two years, and then was with Corinne's com pany. After that she went out as leading lady with Joe Flynn's "McGinty the Sport," and married Joseph Barnett, musical director of the company. Subse quently she sang In Twin City variety theaters to secure money enough to take her home. Her husband deserted her, and later she was attacked with typhoid fever and after her recovery and another attempt to earn a living she wrote to her father who promptly forwarded her money and a ticket home, which she can not get until the terrible forty days are up. Miss Knott dei.ies that she stole Minnie Stoele's cloak. She say% she had scarcely clothing enough to keep her warm, and was walking along the avenue from the Milwaukee depot, when she met a colored man whom she had known as an attache of a theater. He invited her to come to his house to get warm. She told the colored woman her story, and when she started for the ticket office again to see if a reply had been received from her father, one of the colored women offered her the use of the jacket, which she glad ly accepted. Then she was arrested on the street for stealing the cloak. There are several musicians and sing ers, now residing in Minneapolis and 3t. Paul, who knew Miss Knott and sang with her in the various companies with which she was connected. They were un aware of her predicament and are now seeking to have her released from the workhouse and sent home to her father. All say she v. as a singer of merit and had a brilliant future. Judge Holt, who sen tenced her to the workhouso, will be asked to assist in securing her release. A dispatch from Terre Haute, Ind., last night says: '"Miss Lilian Knott, the op eratic singer, who was arrested in Min neapolis and sent to the workhouse on the charge of larceny, was born and brought up in this city. She was educat ed here, and was a graduate of the Cin cinnati Conservatory of Music. Miss Knott, before going on the stage, sang in several of the prominent church choirs, took part In many charitable entertain ments, and moved In the best society. Her father resides here, and le connected with the Wabash Iron and Steel company, and her mother, who was separated from her husband about three years ago, re sides in an Ohio town, and has been sup ported by her daughter. Miss Knott has always been a favorite in society here, and was a leader in the musical circles of the city." ♦ Enjoy Elegrance and Comfort In Traveling: to California. The Minneapolis & St. Louis R.
