ST. PAUL. LIBRARY FOR MONTH
OF FEBRUARY
LIBRARY YEAR 18 REVIEWED
Mont Important In All Its History,
Lit tUe JudjfiiM-nt of tlie Board,
in View of the Advance* Which
Have Been Made by the Institu
tion In the Last Twelve Mouth*
—In Stw Uumierii Soon.
At" the meetlnff of the library board yes
terday afternoon President Bean submit
ted the following report, which will be
attached to th« annual reports of the
secretary and librarian forwarded to the
council and published in pamphlet form.
President Bean says:
Herewith is submitted the eighteenth
annual report of the board of directors
of the St. Paul public library. Appended
are the reports of the librarian and the
financial statement of the secretary and
treasurer, to which your attention is di
rected fo.r details for the several im
provements. This has been the most im
portant year in the history of the public
library. In February, 1899, and ordinance
was passed transferring to the directors
of the public library exclusive use of the
market house building and property. For
mal possession of the building was taken
March 1, IS:*9. The lower floor of the
"building- has been completely changed
jand made info handsome stores, bringing
into the library fund for the past year
the gross Income of $18,075. Upon the
property has been paid out J21.021.01, re
ceived from subscriptions and rentals.
Work is now progressing upon the in
terior finish on the second floor, to be
u^e<l for library purposes, extending from
the tower to the St. Peter street end
of the building, which, when completed,
will furnish St. Paul with adequate, com
modious and elegant library quarters.
The cost of finishing the library proper
will approximate $15,tX)0. The library por
tion of the building will ba ready for oc-
Cttpancy In -May, 1900. May 1, 1890, the
mayor appointed to fill vacancies on the
board for the term of three- years M. D.
Munn, M. Auerbach and Dr. C. B. Bean,
the latter two succeeding themselves.
During the. year the board lost by dea,th
Director D. A. Monfort, who had for
many years been connected with the
library bo ir.l, doing faithful work, and
wliu.se I.jss lias been severely felt. The
mayor appointed to the vacancy T. L,.
Schurmeter. In June, 189'J, Hon. Alex
ander Ramsey, who had been connected
with the board since its organization,
an,l who w;ts Its president, felt that the
incoming year and the demands o( his
private business made is no longer pos
sible for him to continue in active work
in the board, and li's resignation was re
gretfully accepts!. Mr. G. F. Dix was
appointed by Uie mayor to fill the va
cancy.
The report of the secretary gave the
disbursements during the year as $33 -
T0.21, of which $7,:«1.:t6 was'for salaries,
$3,753.83 for books, $753.54 for periodicals,
H.286.H0 for binding, $011 for Insurance
and H. 449.96 transferred to the library
building fund. The report as to the libra
ry building fund showed receipts from all
souiees amounting to $21,021, and disbu.se
ments of the Fame amount, with the ex
ception of 20 cents, which was the bal
ance on hand Dec. 31 last.
The by-laws were changed so as to
make the meetings of tha Ward held
on the first Tuesday In each month at
8 o'clock, instead of In the afternoon.
The report of (he librarian for February
gave the number of books issued as 20,545,;;
registrations canceled, G39; new registra
tions, 561; number entitled to draw b^oks
10,052; tines collected, $(i 1.37.
FIRE ESCAPES ON SCHOOLS.
Labor CouiiiiiHNloncr Mollalo Think*
*«. I'awl Should Have Them.
Labor Commissioner McHale, during bU
inspection < f St. Paul manufacturing es
tablishments, lias been impressed with the
small proportion of Bt Paul school hous.-v
that are equipped with tire escapes
While school huu.ses arc a little out of
his line, he Is in the habit of ordering a
tire escape whenever it appears .hat one
is needed, and he calls attention to the
fact that many of the Si. Paul public
school buildings are not equipped with
this safeguard against great disaster
which might attend a lire in one of the
largo sehot Is.
He wiii, in a communication to the St
Paul school borud. call the attention of
that body to the necessity o f equipping
all LehoM buildings with proper fire
escapes.
Nearly every manufacturing establish
ment In the city has b: ?r> visited by :.
representative of the labor buerau and
whenever a building is found not having
proper lire protection of this character,
an escape is ordered constructed by the
leportment.
The law gives the labor commissioner
authority to order lire escapes for manu
facturing establishments where people
are employed above the ground floor, and
the city council ha^ authority by ord!
nace to order fife- escapes put on all
buildings except private residences.
Mr. McHale has no authority to order
a flre escape put on a school building,
but he is convinced, however, that every
schoo-1 boure in the city should be thus
equipped. "If a lire .should break out
in one of the larger schools and gained
any kind of headway, nothing could save
the chil ir-ti from wholesale destruction,' 1
said be yesterday.
George Geiiaoh, superintendent of re
pairs for the school board, was seen yes
terday regarding the matter and stated
that all the three-story buildings were
equipped with fire escapes. The two-story
bolldlngs with few exceptions were with,
out escapes or stand pipes.
Further inquiry among school officials
brought to light the fact that the matter
had been considered on a number of oc
casions and every building in the city
would be equipped with a tire escape if
the funds had been available.

EEPLYING TO PACKERS.
AMMlntnut Dairy ComniiHsloiier oa
the !.:o«( Oleontargnine BUI.
"The packers are trying to prove that
the tax proposed on oleomargarine by the
Grout bill is a hardship on the poor
man." slid Assistant Dairy Commissioner
B. D. White, yesterday. "The direct ef
fect of the bill will be .iust the reverse.
It proposes to increase the tax on colored
• oleomargarine ten cents and decrease the
tax on the uncolored from two cents to
one-half cent. It makes no difference in
its value as a food product whether it
is colored or uncoiored. If the public
wants to use oleomargarine, why not sell
it for wliat it is. The bill aims to make
a distinction in the market between oleo
margarine and butter. The uncolored
oleo can, under the provisions of the bill,
be bought on a basis of a cent and a half
less than before, while the colored, which
is Intended to represent butter, is in
creased. It merely seeks to protect the
public. In the Chicago market in buying
butter it is necessary to state that you
want cow butter if you want the real
product, otherwise you will likely get
oleomargarine.
Under the rresent law oleo is colored
and r,old close to the price of butter and
the poor man does not know the differ
ence. The proposed new law will give
protection to the poor man.
The bill will have a tendency to in
crease the sa4e of straight oleo without
the coloring, and I should think the pack
ers wmild have no complaint coming on
that score.

there has been* so much complaint in re

the members of ihaf board have seriously
considered the advisability of throwing it
out, and remodeling the heating and ven

can be secured under the mill and a half

Mr. Gerlach's figures, while not com

Bondsmen of County Treasurer Charles
Dueber> of Scearns county,'filed an appli
cation with Gov. Llnd yesterday to be
released from I'mUier responsibility on
the bond. A similar application has been
tiled with the county auditor of Steams
county, signed by fifteen of the sureucs
who are qualiliod in the sum of $r>l,r»OJ.
The following sign the petition: Charles
F. Ladner. Fred Schtoeder. Joseph Lin

Henry Puff, Andrew Preixs, A. Kusrer
mann, F. J. Scferbeder, Martin Sehro-der,
M. Miller, Frank X. Tinm-cis. M. Wel
rens, Val I'dermann. Carl Kropft all les
idenLs of Steams county.
The communication to the governor
sets forth that the bondsman feel them
selves unsecured, as the board of audits
that very recently made an examination
of the office frlund Mr. Dueber short la
his accounts and that the public exam
iner also found a deficiency.
Gen. E. M. Pope was seen and was not
inclined to discuss ibe matter very freely,
except to state that Deputy Public Kx
aminer H. C. Koer'ner would reach St.
Cloud this morning and look Into the
accounts of the eounly treasurer.
As far as the- bocdsnn n are concerned,
neither the governor nor the board of
county commissioners ha\e authority to
release the sureties, of a county official
until other bondsmen are secured and
a new instrument, 'In a satisfactory
amount executed.
Mr. Dueber has not as yet been able
to give another bond, and nothing fur
ther can be d^ne pending the inrertlga*
tion of the office, which will be made by
the state public examiner.
A small shortage in Mr. Dueber's ac
counts is said to exist.
Mr. Dueber is serving his second term
as county treasurer.
Gov. L«ind stated yesterday that he
would take no action until the. result of
the examination by the deputy examiner
is known.
A second bond is on file in the treas
urer's office to protect the state from
loss of state funds that may be collected
by the county treasurer. The bond is for
$25,000, and none of the sureties have ap
plied "for release.

bert's MEMORY
Iff STATE AT CHRIST CHURCH
A Host of Thoae Who Had Known
and Loved the Bluhop In Life
Were Permitted to Take Their
Last Look at the Peaceful Fen
tnren of a Leader in the Church
of Minnesota.
Simple, as befitted the life of a man
■whose good works courted no ostentation;
reverent, for the remains below that pur
ple pall were those of a bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal church; tender, the
dead man's countless acta of kindness
having made his name a synonym for
charity in the broadest sense—the funeral
services that yesterday consigned to the
tomb the remains of Bishop Mahlon N.
Gilbert were In keeping with his honora
ble life. They were attended" by young
and old, rich and poor, all faiths and all
nationalities. Never before nad Christ
church held so many people. From 11:30
o'doek, when the body was brought to
the church, there to rest" in state until
the funeral services were held, a steady
stream of people passed through the
church to take a last look at the beloved
features. The catafalque rested in the
choir. On the bier was a large cross of
Easter lilies, lilies of the valley and
violets, the gift of the clergy. Tha
bishop's chair in the chancel was deco
rated* with the episcopal purple, and altar
and chancel were trimmed with the green
that speaks of immortality. Conspicuous
among the many beautiful floral offer
ings was a large wreath of violets, sent
by the Sons of the American Revolution;
a square and compass, a Masonic emblem,
sent by the members of Ancient Land
mark lodge, A. F. and A. M., and a
wreath of white roses from the Indian
agency, where the bishop had often con
ducted services. At 2:;>0 o'clock, the hour
set for the funeral services, the church
was crowded and a mass of people out
side were surging about the doors, seek
ing an entrance. It was not a crowd of
curiosity seekers. The oft-repeated name
of the bishop, some pathetic bit of a
story connected with It, the words of
praise spoken on every side betrayed
the heart interest each had in the services
within. Th ecclesiastical procession
formed at the mala entrance. Ernest
Dray, of St. Clement's church, the bish
op's vicar, led the procession. He was
followed by the crozier bearer, Rev. Mar
cus C. Simpson, of Chatfield, Minn. Th«
honorary pallbearers came next, walking
two by two. They were:
Dr. George 11. Metcalf. for th« Minne
sota Veterans' association; Henry P. lrp
ham. for the bishop's lodge, Ancient
Landmark No. 5, A. F. and A. M.; Rev
Dr. Wilson, of Seabury hall; Rev. E S.
Peake, of St. Mary's hall: Rev. Dr. Dob
btn, of ShaUuck school; Reuben Warner
and John Q. Adams, for the vestry of
Christ, church; Rev. Dr. Taoiner. for the
Breck school at Wilder, Minn.; Judge
WlWer. of Rod Wing; Judge Atwater of
Minneapolis; B. G. Yates and G. A. Van
derslvils, representing St. Clement's par
ish. St. PauL
Then followed a long procession, made
up of the visiting clergymen and rectors
of St. Paul. The place of honor in the
procession was occupied by Bishops Ed
sal I, of North Dakota; Mflispaugh, of
Kansas, and Tuttle. of Missouri. As the
ecclesiastical procession passed down the
aisl-e. Bishop Edsall began reading the
opening sentences of the Episcopal serv
ice. Except for the low-spoken, rever
ent ward.*, the silence in the church was
aboui'.ne. The active pallbearers during
the entrance of the procession formed a
Kiiard of honor about the. catafalque, four
on either side. The active pallbearers
were:
Rev. T. P. Thurston, Winona; Rev. C.
C. Rollitt, Red Wing; Rev. D. J. W
Somervllle, Austin; Dean Slattery, Fari
foault; Rev. G. H. Mueller. St. Paul; Rev
G.» H. Ten Broeck. Merriam P*rk: Rev. S
B. Purvis, Minneapolis; Rev. C. R Tav
loi\ Li Lch field.
When the procession reached the altar
steps they took seats at the right of the
lectern. Seats had been reserved for the
clergymen at either side of the main
Hi.-Ue, the crosier bearer and the three
bishops alone passing through the gates
to the chancel. The fu'l vested choir was
in attendance, and when Bishop Edsall
n'nished the opening sentences the choir
chanted the musical portion of the burhU
service. Bishop Millspaugh read the
I*-: .-iins. The choir and congregation then
.sang Bishop Gilbert's favorite hymn,
"My Faith Looks Up to Thee." Prayer
was offered by Bishop Turtle, and then
another hymn, beloved by the dead bish
op, was sung, Barnby*s "Saints Who
Frooa Their Labors Rest," and the sim
ple services were almost completed.
Preceded by the crozier bearer, the three
bishops passed once more down the aisle
while the choir sang the closing verses of
the hymn. As the cortege wa,s passing
out of the door the rfuse Dimitis -was
chanted and this again changed, for the
voices of the choristers died away, and
the orsan alone, in Handel's solemn
"D^ad March in Saul," voiced the grief of
those who followed thu bier as it \v;is
Uorne to the hearse. R. Nelson Barber
was organist.
Among those who attended the services
at the church waa Bishop Gilbert's only
living relative outside his immediate fam
ily. H. H. Todd, of C'hlppewa Falls, a
cousin of the dead man. With him were
the bishop's two little daughters, Fran
ces and Lucy. Over thirty carriages fol
lowed the coffin to its last resting place
at Oakland cemetery. The services there
were brief. Bishop Tultle read the
committal service and the last sad rfte
was performed. After the mourners had
departed the active pallbearers carried
the coffin to the grave that had been pre
pared for It in the Gilbert burial plot, and
it was th.-rp finally interred.
Private funeral services were held at the
episcopal residence yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock. There was a communion
service held down stairs. Dr. C. D. An
drews, rector of Christ church, had
charge, assisted by Dr. Dudley D.
Rhodes, of St. John's church. The service
was simple, consisting of a few prayers.
It was attended by the bishop's family
and iutimate friends, a few of the clergy
and the active pallbearers. At the close
of this service Mrs. Gilbert and her two
daughters looked their last upon the face
of the husband and father, and the
casket was taken to Christ church.
Dr. Andrews and Rev. Ernest Dray pre
ceded the casket as it was borne up the
aisle by the eight pallbearers. The coffin
was placed on the catafalque, the cover
of the casket was removed and, the vest
ed clergymen gathering about the blor
Bishop Tuttle. of Missouri, offered
prayer.
The church was opened at 11:30 o'clock,
and the people who had been gathering
outside were permitted to enter and take
their final look at the dead bishop. They
entered in single file, walking down the
nave of the church and making their
exit through the tower door. Over 5.000
thus viewed the remains. The dead
bishop was attired In full canonical robes
and looked as if he were sleeping peace
fully. Over seventy-flw. clergymen from
outside St. Paul attended the funeral,
and most of these followed the hearse to
the cemetery.
The pall that covered the catafalque
yesterday belongs to St. Clement's, the
bishop's church. It will be taken back
to the church and draped there for thirty
days.
