State Grain Inspector Relahua has r« colved a personal letter from J. D. Shan ahan, Inspector of the port of Buffalo, In answer to a letter concerning th« statements of the latter with reference to the methods of the Minnesota depart ment. Mr. Shanahan Indicates that his published interview was given under a misapprehension of facts, and that, hav ing been further enlightened, ho is will ing to recall all statements reflecting either upon the Minnesota state grain in spector or the state Inspection depart ment. He calls attention particularly to the fact that the letter to a St. Paul pa per was given with no thought of becom ing mixed up In a political squabble and regrets its publication. The letter reads: "I am very glad to find that the Min nesota chief lnsp&ctor did not say that he believed the charges against the Buf falo department, and 1 am very sorry that I made such a vigorous denial of those charges before first obtaining a, personal denial of the statements. I will take particular pains to bring your communication of recent date before tha local grain trade, and see that it is given publicity. "In my letter to a St. Paul panar I said nothing whatever concerning No. 2 northern or No. 3 northern Minnesota wheat, but used the term, 'inferior wheat.' 1 regret exceedingly that I have done the Minnesota department an in justice, and had it not been for your re ported bolief in the charge ogalnat tho inspectors of this port I would have been disposed to defend you. 1 think you and your department can readily understand what such chargos as were reported to have been made by yourself would mean to any grain market, coming from a sourco of much importance and recog nized authority. I can sympathize with you in thinking that it Is too much to be responsible for your gi-ades after the grain has been handled several timea In transit to Europe. I thought, however, that it was shortsighted to lay the blame on any particular market without abso lute proof that the grain was being tam pered with. "However, if I have done you or iha Minnesota department any injustice, be lieve me that I did it honestly, thinking that It was up to me to defend the Buf falo market from an unjust attack, and not with the idea of pretting mixed up in any political squabble, nor for tha sake of hearing myself talk. I aineeroly hope that no such misunderstanding shall again come up to disturb the pleasant re lations between this and the Minnesota inspection departments. —"M. D. Shanahan." WORK OF JEWISH WOMEN. St. Paul Council Is Working- Hani Without Del«>Kmte» at Cleveland. The council of Jewish women now holding its second triennial convention In Cleveland, 0., has a branch council here in St. Paul known as the St. Paul Council of Jewish Women, of which Mrs. H. S. Haas is president. The local coun cil is not represented this year at the convention in Cleveland, the members deciding that In view of the heavy de mands that will be made lh!s spring and summer on the treasury of th» council for philanthropic work the money had better be saved for that purpose. The council was organized in Chicago during the world's fair, and the same fall the St. Paul branch was organized here. There is also a council in Minneapolis. Mrs. Emanuel Cohen, of that city, Is at the head of the Minnesota branch. Al though the work of the council is broad, aiming as it does to keep the Jewish women in touch with all that is most modern in science, art, literature and economics, here in St. Paul the work has developed principally along philanthropic lines. in 1895 the women belonging to the council started an industrial school for the children of the Polish Jews liv ing over on the West side flats. The school was held during the summer months, the girls being taught to .sow and the boys the rudiments of manual training. For the nominal sum (if 5 cents each child was allowed to keep whatever garment she made, the material being furnished by the women. The school has been continued every summer since it started, and now a plan Is being considered to enlarge it Into What will be known as the Neighboring Hou?e. It will combine an industrial school, a cir culating library, a lecture room, and possbly a creche, where working wom en may leave ther babes knowng that they will be cared for during their ab sence. Although the plans for the school are embryonic as yet, it will probably be located on the West side, where the in dustrial school has been kept. The school will be opened earlier this spring than has been customary, the women planning to begin their work in May. Mrs. J., Wirth, of Ashland avenue, is chairman of the committee having tho school in charge. ■ m MRS. ANNA K. STEES DEAD. Widow of the I.ate WatMnftoa M. SteeM. Mrs. Anna K. Stees, widow of the late Washington M. Stees, died yesterday at her home. 388 Grand avenue, at the ad vanced age of ninety years, fifty of which had been spent in St. Paul. Death follow ed an illness of but one week's duration. The deceased is survived by one daugh ter, Mrs. F. D. Kendrick. and a sister, Mis. Brown, who lives in Philadelphia, Mrs. Stees' early home. Her husband had a furniture store in St. Paul early in the '50s, and the hos pitality of "Wash" and Mrs: Stees was a tradition of the early settlement. In deed both are mentioned favorably as among the early hosts to entertain vis itors to the promising com unity' of half a century ago in the "Pen Pictures" pub lished a decade or more ago by Maj. T. M. Newson. She was a member of the Central Pres byterian church. '—- STATIONERY IS HIGHER. Price of Paper Has Not Been Sta tionary Recently. Bids for supplying the various city departments with stationery for the en suing six months were opened yesterday by the city clerk. Wright, Barrett & Stilweil secured the contract, agreeing to furnish the supplies for $1,295.67, this being $6.47 lower than Wedelstaedt & Co.'s bid. Brown, Treacy & Co. secured the contract for election stationery sup plies, at $165.18. The increased cost In stationery, the bidders claim, will make the expendi tures for stationery cost about $350 more than for the six months in 1900. ROAD FILED ANSWER.

AT A LOMELY CROSSING CONDUCTOR WIL&ON, OP WEiT SEVENTH STREET "OWL CAR," BRITALLY ASSAULTED WILL BE LAID UP FOR A WEEK Police Spent YewtWday Looking fop the Conductor* Aji valiant a, bat t'p to a Late Hour Laat Night Xo Arrests Hod Been Made— Mil wuu kee Short Line v t i-ossinu the Scene. f Fred Wilson, a conductor on the Seventh street car line, was,..the victim of a sav age assault late Sunday night, in which he sustained a severe gash on the head from some bfunt "instrument and was also pounded a\nd kicked almost into in sensibility by his assailants. Conductor Wilson had nearly $30 in his possession at the time he was attacked, and it Is suspected that robbery may have been the object of those who assaulted him. He was able to take his car back to the barn, but was here relieved from duty and will be unable to take his "run" for at least a week, so serious are his in juries. The assault took piace at the short line crossing, out West Seventh street, at 11 o'clock, and was committed by two stran gers. The men boarded the car at Sev enth and Ramsey street. They persisted in remaining on the platform and con stantly crowded about the conductor. They were either slightly intoxicated" or feigned drunkenness, and used vile language, as we!l as otherwise conduct ing themselves boisterously. Conductor Wilson several times admonished the men to conduct themselves more quietly, but they paid no attention to him. Finally he threatened to put them off of the car. A few minutes later the car stopped at the railroad crossing, and Conductor Wilson went on ahead to see that no trains were approaching. Ho did not notice that the two men left the car and followed him into the darkness beyond the tracks. As he turned to signal the car to proceed the men rushed at him. Fearing they Intended robbing him, Conductor Wilson attempted to elude them, but received a heavy blow on. the side of the head with somo instrument that knocked him down. He thinks he was struck with the butt of a revolver. Whilo he was down both strangers attacked him, beating him and kicking him about the head and b-dy. Wilson called Xo M^otorman Radend lor help. The thugs heard the car door open and took to their heels, leaving Wilson bleeding in the street. When Wilson was assisted inside of the car he was covered with blood running fr->m an ugly gash on the side of his head. He was slightly dazed, but continued the trip to the end of the line and return, when he was re lieved. He was, taken to Dr. Binder's of fice, where his wound was sewed up, when he was removed to the Post Siding hotel, where lie boards. As a result of the savage treatment accorded him Wil son is laid up "In bed and will be unable to work for some time.

SHE BORE IT BRAVELY SIRS. M. N. GILBBKT STOOD THE TRIP FROM KARIBUI.T TO ST. PAUL WIDI.L WIFE OF THE DEAD BISHOP She Was Brought to St. Paul Yes. tetdo y Afternoon, to Look Upon the Face of the Dead Before the Funeral Today— Service* at Christ Church Today Will He Especially InipretKlve. The saddest chapter of the mournful circumstances surrounding: the death of Rt. Rev. Mahlon N. Gilbert, bishop co adjutor of the Episcopal diocese of Min nesota, was closed ye3terday afternoon, when the deceased churchman's devoted wife was brought to St. Paul from Farlbault, Minn., where she has lain dangerously 111 during the period of her husband's fatal Illness and death. Mrg. Gilbert reached St. Paul at 5 o'clock yes terday afternoon. She was brought from Farlbault by a special train furnished by the Great Western railway for the pur pose. The physicians decided yesterday that Mrs. Gilbert was sufficiently recovered to make the trip from Faribault to her home here without danger. President A. B. Stickney. of the Great Western, at once volunteered his services and placed his own private car at the disposal of Dr. C. L. Greene, the attending physician, and a small party of friends. The car was taken out of St. Paul yesterday forenoon. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Gilbert, Dr. C. L. Greene, J. H. Ames, of St. Paul, a close friend of the family; I Mrs. B. I. Stanton, an intimate friend of Mrs. Gilbert; Miss Wiggin, a nurse, and the two daughters of the late bishop left Farlbault for St. Paul. Immediately upon the arrival of the special train Mrs. Gilbert was taken to the family resi dence, 18 Summit court, attended by her physician, her daughters and the nurse. She was still too weak to walk and show ed traces of acute suffering. She bore up well under the ordeal and stood the trip even better than the physicians an ticipated. Mrs. Gilbert's illness has been one of the saddest Incidents of the family be reavement. Dr. Rose, who attended her In Farlbault, was exceedingly anxious lest the shock of her husband's death should have fatal consequences. Late laat night Dr. C. L. Greene wai asked for information concerning her condition. He did not cara to make a statement, but intimated that at present Indications seemed favorable. During the bishop's illness she was unable to leave her bed, and, confined at Farlbault, was compelled to daily hear less and less favorable news of him and finally of his sudden death. At 10 o'clock the first service will be held. This will be at the Episcopal resi dence and private, only the family, the officiating clergymen and a few intimate friends being present. Dr. C. D. Andrews, of Christ church, will be in charge of this service, and Bishop Tuttle. of Mis souri, will assist In reading prayers. The service will consist of prayers only. Following this short service the body will be removed to Christ church. The hearse will be followed only by the two carriages containing the eight active pallbearers and possibly a carriage or two with the attending clergymen. Teh active pallbearers are Rev. T P Thurston, Wlnona; Rev. C. C. Rolllt Red Wing; Rev. D. J. W. Somervllle. Austin; Dean Slattery, Faribault; Rev. G H Mueller. St. Paul; Rev. G. H. Ten Broeck' Merriam Park; Rev. S. B. Purvis Min neapolis; Rev. C. R. Taylor, Litchfleld. These eight men, the younger clergy men of Bishop Gilbert's diocese, will con stitute a guard of honor at the bier dur ing the time the body lies in state. Six will remain always beside the bier, two being relieved every half hour. The catafalque upon which the casket will rest will be placed at the head of the main aisle, at the foot of the choir steps. The doors will be opened at 11 o'clock, and the public will be admitted at the front door of the church and will be allowed to pass In single file down the nave past the catafalque, where they may look for the last time upon the face of the dead bishop, and out through the tower door. None of those entering the church dur* ing the time the body lies In state will be allowed to remain there until the fu neral service. The crowd will pass through the. church until 2 o'clock, when the church will he cleared and the doors closed. About fifteen or twenty minutes will be allowed for the clergymen present to look upon the dead, and then the doors will be opened again to the public. No seats will be reserved in the church except for the clergy. Just before the service at the church the body will be removed to a position in the middle of the chancel, where It will rest In a mass of green ferns and palms. The only decorations In the church will be the purple and white hangings, a cross of Easter lilies and a wreath of laurel; these latter symbolizing the resurrection and the triumph. The service will be in charge of Bishop Tuttle, of Missouri, who will be assisted by Bishop Edsall, of North Dakota, and probably Bishop Milspaugh, of Kansas, and Bishop Nicholson, of Milwaukee; Dr. Andrews, of Christ church. The music will be simple and impres* slve. R. Nelson Barber will preside at the organ, and the vested choir will sing the funeral anthem and the musical por tions of the regular burial service. A favorite hymn of Bishop Gilbert's, "My Faith Looks T'p to Thee," will be sung, and another hymn, which has baen selected as particularly appropriate. Is "I Need Thee Every Hour." The honorary pallbearers, who will be In attendance at the church service, and who will also attend the body to the last resting place, are as follows: Dr. George R.

Then Secretary George R. T. Hart read tho minutes of the two pre vious meetings of the committee, and t bo chairman intrcducad Vice Consul Motphy. who was greeted with prolonged applause. He said in part: "It may be considered by some an im pertinence for us to gather together to express ourselves on the Issues of this war. To American citizens this war is a foreign war with which they have noth ing to do. But, as Britons, we may gath er to aid to the best of our abiliiy the men and their families that have sulT. re-1 through this war. I want to congratu late you upon the dignified stand you have takon in so long remaining Bilent, despite the misconceived outbursts that have been indulged In by others. "But, no matter what we may think of the economics of the question, that has no place here tonight. We have gatnetetl to appeal to you on behalf of the desti tute and suff. ring. Whatever may haye been the mistakes of the government or the generals, Tommy Atkins Is nor to blame. It is for his wives, his widows and his children that we appeal lo you tonight. "One cannot say anything against .he brave little people that are Ughting f >i what they believe to be their rights, bur the time has gone past when people can have taxation wiihout representation." Mr. Morphy's speech was liberally punc tuated by applaus?. He was followed by A. A. McKechnle, treasurer of the com mittee, who spoke of the encouraging re ception that had been met with both In Minneapolis and St. Paul, a tribute to "the splendid, dogged courage of Tommy Atkins." Thomas Boyd sang "So diers of th? Queen," and received an encore. The aa dience joined heartily in the chorus. He was succeeded by Miss Olive Morphy, a daughter of the vice consul, who recited Kipltng's "Absent-Minded Beggar. 1" Ms . Morphy received almost an ovation, and when, at tho close, -she passed down th< aisles with a tambourine, the sliver dol lars and greenbacks poured in so last that she was compelled to pour out the money on the treasurer's table and make a second trip.

Brigade," and then Dr. A. B. Me!drun» was introduced and greeted wtth ap plause. He said in part: "I deem it a privilege to declare to my fellow citizens of St. Paul that I atlll believe in my mother. One thing that has made me proud of my brothers and sisters Is the splendid self-restraint that they have exercised under great provo cation. I am alisast ashamed to break the record of self-respecting silence that you have shown; but, while considering it be neath my manhood to deny some of tho baseless allegations that have been pub~ licly made, I want to go on record as re pudiating some of the things that luiva been said by men in high office and men who would like to be. "I do not believe that any foreign-born citizen needs to emphasize his Ameri canism by assuming an attitude of Ihm ■ tlllty towards the land of his birth. I« the depths of my heart I believe that England is right. I have been an Amert* can citizen for seventeen years and dur ing that time I do not believe Übtai my Americanism has ever bff.n under mis plcion. I have never been In the police court, never have been taken out >ji saloon and never waved either ilit- i flag or the green. There is one Raff for mt—the Stars and Stripes. I am here as an American citizen, with the full conviction that the land of my birth is fighting today the battle of human ity." Rev. Alexander McGregor, the i speaker, wa9 preceded by Mr. Harbour, who sang "The Death of Nelson." "When I have thought of the mag nificent sacrifices that the land at my birth is making for civilization and liberty I have tried to be patient th^sa six months and I can hardly keep bot tled up any longer," said Dr. McGregor. "America and England wero never BO near each other as now. lam not a con sul and I am not looking for any posi tion. I am a settled preacher on tha hill. Consequently I can say what I think as an American citizen." Dr. McGregor spoke of the reflections cast upon Britain by "the newspapers and" people with light heads" and dwelt on the services rendered In the cause of civ ilization by his native Scotland." The meeting closed with another pa triotic song by G. jL 8. Collins. RABBI HESS ILL. Mount Zlon Congrreicatioii'M Furin.-r Priest Scrlonxly 111.
