APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.
llnrfiuer! t-y Rumiiuii lOvjtlulPi Her
S'orrowN i» a Letter to the Globe.
I reluctantly break the silence I have
heretofore kept. As long as my sorrow
and trouble was a mere personal affair
I have not thought it proper that 1 .-should
speak of it to strangers. 1 have appealed
to the courts to vindicate my rights, but
without success. The theft of my little
child has now, it seems, been approved
and Justified by religious, prominent and
respectable people, and 1 have nowhere
to turn in my distress except lo the pub
lic. I have nothing to do with any reli
gious quarrel that people may engage in
over my' affairs.' 1 and my child have
rights superior to "all theologies or
churches. If it is not righi to kill or tor
ture people for religious belief why
should I be tortured and wor°e than kill
ed and my little Ida May bo deprived of
the rights that the most unfortunate
child Is given? The fact is that from ;he
time little Ida was three hours old until
my bi other's d-flh, last month, I was
her mother In all that a mother can be;
she never slept a night out of my arms.
1 loved her all the more because her real
mother was dead and I had no child of
my own. In thia way, It seems we were
more isolated and were all in all to each
other.
Ip to my brother's death we were a
happy and united household. He was an
ardent, warm-hearted man, who won all
with whom he came in contact. His dy
ing wish was that we should all stay to
gether, and I know my assurance that
the children would always have my care
soothed bis last hours. lie was hardly
burled when from every Sld« (as it no-w
appears) came strang^m who had never
shown any Interest in him or the children
to break up what was left of our home;
to lure the boys away from their home
and the placo where they were born, and,
worst of all. to steal away my little girl,
who knew no other love than mine.
Those strangers who take such an in
terest in my affairs now say that I am
a Catholic; but have not Catholics at
least as much rl^ht as animals are given
In the oare and love of those toward
whom they occupy a parental relation?
They also say that I have neither home
nor means. My answer is that since I
came to St. Paul I have clothed Tda May,
and during the last year havo helped to
clothe and support the boys as well. If
my brother had not perfect confidence in
my ability to care for the children he
would not on his death bed ha.ye com
mitted them to my care. It was my in
tention to carry out my brother's wi
and to keep the home which these stran
gers have have succeeded in breaking up.
Since Ida May disappeared I have used
every means in my power to find her, but
without success. Whether she is living
or dead. I cannot tell, nor where or with
whom she is. I have not means to em
ploy detectives in the different states
where she may be, and my purpose In
writing this letter is to ask all the men.
women and even children who may read
It to help me find my child. She cannot
be kept hidden if only people will tell ma
what they know. All I ask is the help of
their information. My lawyer tells me
that if I can find wh^re she is the courts
will get her for me. If only women
mothers—who are engaged in this cruel
persecution of me would make tiie case
thrir own for one of the sad weeks 1
have borne it, they would surely desist.

■alto.
Mra. Margaret Stanton, living at 100
West Fllmore avenue, was perhaps fa
tally burned yesterday afternoon, short
ly before 6 o'clock, while visiting at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Cavid Hart
man, living at 444 Prior uvonue, Merriura
Park. Mrs. Stanton was alone In the
house when the accident that may cost
her life happened. She had just lighted
the kitchen stove, preparatory to getting
supper by the time her daughter should
return home, when a spark from the
stovo set fire to a lounge. Mrs. Btanton
endeavored to extinguish the blaze that
quickly enevloped the lounge, and her j
Clothing caught fire. In an Instant flames 1
encompassed the unfortunate woman, 1
whom ni> one wa^s near to rescue. Scream- I
ing with pain, Mra. Stanton rushed about
the house trying to lind some way of
quenching her blazing clothing, but .with
out success, and, when almost overcome,
she ran into the yard, where she threw
herself Into a .small pond and was saved
from burning to death. She had gone to
her daughter's home yesterday morning
to spend the day. and, being left alone,
determined toward evening to assist In
preparing supper. Scarcely had she
started the tire In the stove when the
lounge caught fire.. Before Mrs. Sianton
noticed the danger from the flying spark
the loung was ablaze. To save the house
from burning down Mrs. Sianton tried to
beat out the fire with her hands, and
then seized a towel with which to fight
the fire. While engaged In trying to ex
tinguish the blaze her clothing whirled
too near the lounge, and her dress blazed
up about her. Mrs. Stanton called for
help, but no one heard her, and, after
running frantically about the house, she
rushed into the yard. Here the wind fan
ned the flames, and the agonized woman
could scarcely reach the little pond to
ward which she lied. Dropping almost
exhausted Into the shallow water, she
rolled about until the flame 3 were nearly
out, when Mrs. Berry and har daughter,
living in the adjoining house, hurried to
her assistance and smothered the smold
ering flre with a wet blanket.
The burns .sustained by Mrs. Sianton
extend over almost her entire body. The
lower limbs are frightfully burned, while
chest, arms and neck are slightly charred
In places. Her face is somewhat buraed
and her haLr singed. The left aim is
charred almost the entire length. Mrs.
Stanton was a'tended by Dr. Beckley,
who administered every possible relief
and gives some hopes of Mrs. Stanton'a
recovery. The shock incident to the ter
rible burns will be severe, however, and
owing to Mrs. Stanton'3 advanced age
she may not survive.
The Merriam Park fire department-put
out the flre in the kitchen before the
house had been materially damaged.
ROYAURCANUM ANNUAL

At its adjourne 1 session held last night

Mankato was chosen for the next meet-
Ing place of the grand lodge, which will
convene the fourth Tuesday in March,.
1901. The session opened yesterday morn
ing at Elks' hall, Grand Regent Gilbert
presiding. There was a good attendance
of delegates and life members of the
lodge. Grand Regent Gilbert's report
read at the morning session, showed that
the lodge had enjoyed a steady growth.
An especially encouraging feature waa
the decreased number of suspensions.
which might be taken as an evidence of
the better feeling which prevailed among
the membership and satisfaction with the
succtss of the change of plan In assess
ments, which has resulted in the accumiv
latlon of so large an emergency fund.
Two councils have been instituted during
th« past year—Gopher Council No. 1775 r
Minneapolis, with a present membership
of fifty-four, and Sibley Council No. 1755,
St. Paul, having a present membership
of eighty-three. This council has the
largest charter list of any council organ
ized in this jurisdiction. The report rec
ommended that members be better posted
on the principles and work of thf> order
and on the plan of operation and th« con
dition of the order, so that mlsstate
mentfl might be refuted. The report also
recommended the publishing of a paper
that would in a comprehensive way dis
seminate information.
Grand Secretary Hughes' report con
tainod the following:
On Nov. 28, 1899, the supreme regent
called upon our Brand regent to furnish
135 new members as Minnesota's quota of
the number required by the order to reach
a membership of 300.(UK) on or before May
1, 1900. The grand regent promised that
Minnesota would not be found among the
laggards, and to make his word good he
asked each subordinate council to w>rk
for an 8 per cent increase in membership

Of the thousands of passengers who
dally -travel on interurban cars "between
.the Twin Cities very few realize that
when the car stops for a moment at Mer

cross the street to witness a most in

The great horse market of Barrett &
Zimmerman, occupying nearly two full
blocks, Is located at this point. In the
great sheds are lodged hundreds of fine
horses, which have come here from all
over the Northwest to find new owners.
Thousands of fltie horses are handled here
every month, and the daily display of
horseflesh in the great amphitheater is
well worth ■witnessing.
Barrett & Zimmerman have sold thou
sands of hoTses to the Untted States gov

to the Philippines. This institution is of
great value to the Twin Cities, as Bar

It was a great, Haunting American
Beauty rose and it nodded with a number
of its slaters rrom an old blue jardiniere,
whose rich color act off the exquisite huo
of the roses us nothing else could. Tlia
American Beauty was quite In its <.!»■■
merit. On nearly every side of it were
long glasses that reflected not. only the
beautiful Cower and its companions, but
all sorts of beautiful colors as well; col
ors that were combined and twisted Into
what seemed great ma.sses of bloom. For
a while the American Beauty was con
tent to at those rivals of hers or at
those other rivals, beautifully dre.-^il
women who walked softly up and flown
the length of the great millinery rooms
at Mannheimers" admiring everything
with frank volubility. But finally the
capricious flower became tired of being
a mere idle spectator. Sh<- tattered her
petals and remarked to her sisters: 'T
shall certainly speak to her," nodding in
the direction of anoher rose, almost tho
exact counterpart of herself. But th*_
sl ranger, instead cf standing knee deep
in cool water In a quaint ;aruiniere, rest
ed In unconventional fashion against a
mass of soft lace and silk, formed to re
semble, a great mushroom.
"She has peculiar taste," decided the
American Beauty, "but 1 shall speak tv
her all the same," and, leaning- over, a
breath of perfumed words was wafted to
the stranger. Then the American Beauty
made a discovery and it caused her to be.
come a shade or two deeper in color.
The stranger waa artificial.
She pretended not to notice the smiles
of iMir sisters, but devoted her attention
to two richly dressed women who stood
near deep in conversation.
"Certainly the hats are exquisite this
year," saul the taller of the two. "I al
ways make it a point to attend Ma-nn
rreimer Bros.' millinery openings and al
ways enjoy them, but this spring they
have certainly surpassed themselves."
"Yes, indeed," agreed her companion.
"Look at that hat. Isn't it exquisite I
declare it is difficult to distinguish tha
artificial rose from the real one," and we
looked irom the flower on the hat to the
American Beauty In the jardiniere, and
the American Beauty felt appeased.
Just then a saleswoman approached the
two shoppers and'the rose was an inter
ested listener to all tha.t followed. First
the attendant told about the trimmings
that were to be in vogue this spring
and summer. There vas the Claire de
.Laiue, a beautiful spangled net, so soft
and nlniy that the rose wondered why
they did not call it by its English nanid
"moonlight." Then there were the Ren
aissance, the duchesse and the point de
Robespierre laces; flowers of all kinds.and
fruit, grapes, berries and cherries that
looked good enough to eat. For addeci
garniture there were the paatel orna
ments and the skeletonized tobacco
leaves, the latter made of claire de L,aine,
jetted net and Tuscan laces. Later some
hats were shown. One, the attendant
called the petal hat, was made of solid
pansy petals with, an immense bow of
Ophelia velvet. 'Though-the hat shaded
tha face slightly, the brim was raised
sufficiently to show the hair. The Char
lotte Corday hat was of pink straw, a
modified pok.j bonnet shape. The crown
was covered with white net and over the
brim was a ruffle of la.cc. A band or
black velvet ribbon was drawn about the
Tarn 'oShanter crown and hung- in 'stream
era at the back. Another hat the at
tendant called the mushroom droop, it
was of Tuscan straw faced with cream
white chiffon. Directly in front was an
immense black velvet bow and drooping
over the brim was a small bunch of June
roses. Then a number of black hats were
shown, so summery looking in spite or
their somber color that they looked as if
a puff of wiiicl mi^ht blow them away.
They were trJmrr.ed in ehiffou and nets
mostly The shoppers moved on, but by

Beauty could see them pause in rapt a<l

Such airy creations these bats were, in
poke bonnet style, usually, with the
sweetest of wil.l ftowen for trimming' and
the softest of ehiffoi b to ruftlo about the

lost ?ight of her friends in the crowd of
shoppers, but she scon became as Inter

until at 6 o'clock, when liie la.-,t shopper
had reluctantly taken her leave.. the
American Beauty decided that it would
be rather a nice thing after nil to bo an
artificial flower, if one coir.fi repose on
one of those exquisite creations that

PROPHETIC ME.S

MILL CITY WEATHER PROPHET
Fixes March JW «■- 'Ilii-rejilinutt as
the li«*g'funJn£- of a
Series of Slorni*.
The Prophetio Messenger, R. Hollings
worth's Minneapolis periodical, which so
closely foretold the existing weather con
ditions for the first three months of the
current year, in this Issue takes up the
next three months, as follows:
"April opens In the midst of a general
storm period for Minnesota and adjoining
states, and about the beginning of the
winter's break-up. March 28 or there
abouts will mark the beginning of stormy
and disagreeable conditions, accompanied
by rain, sleet, and possibly hail, In the
southern portion of the Mississippi valley,
with the approach of much cooler weather
about, the Suth. This condition will pre
vail south of the Wth parallel. North of
ihls line we would look for falling tem
perature about the USth, followed by rain,
turning into snow flurrie3, with the wind
shifting well to ■ the north and northeast
about the 29th. Blustering conditions will
continue about the 3d of April, when the
temperature should rise in the northern
portion of the Mississippi valley and
Michigan, but the general storm condition
will continue until about the sth, when it
will turn warmer, with much more prom
ising weather. ■
Should tho wind shift to the west and
northwest near the 6th and 7th, the con
ditions for seeding in the Northern states
will -be very promising indeed. The week
following the 7th the. greater portion of
the Northern states are due for west
winds, accompanied by cool, frosty nights,
making tho sunny side of buildtng3 the
most comfortable and pleasant until near
noon the next day. This* condition will
be more aggravated as we near the 11th
or 12th, which will likely be broken up
with thunder storms near these dates,
then followed by a rising temperature and
more settled weather, commencing on or
about the 12th.
Rainfall lor the fli^st half of the month
should be about the average, while the
temperature should be slightly below that
of average years.
With the approach of full moon on the
14th. indicates. the continuance of warm
weather over the enthv Mississippi val
ley, accompanied with considerable west
arid southwest wind, amounting to al
most destructive storms in western South
Dakota and Nebraska. There is no indi
cations of late frosts In the Southern
states during the month of April, with
the exception of Ist, 2d, 21st and 22d,
which dates should .not be entirely for
gotten by tho planter and gardner.
About the 10th the weather should turn
cooler In the Northern states, followed i
by extremely blustering and threatening
weather on the 20th and 21st, with much
rain, thunder storms and possibly hail
in Eastern Nebraska, "Wester.n Illinois!
and Western South Dakota. Were it not
for strong wind during this period (from i
the 20th to the 23rd), we would expect
killing frosls to extend well southward,
probably extending as far south as tlie
northern limits of the (tulf states. We j
warn our readers in the far M>uth to be
on the lookout for this. The melon au.l
berry industry of the Central and North
ern states should also be protected.
After the 22nd a change to warmer is
indicated, with general storm conditions
developing in the Western states about
the 23rd. when the wind should shift tust
ward, accompanied with rainy and <ifiz
zling weather during the 23rd and .'4th.
clearing by the 25th and turning warmer
throughout the gieater portion of the
Mississippi valley, and 1n all probabiliiy j
passing beyond the danger of frost 9OUtO :
of the 35th parallel. Further north cool- ]
er weather may be expected on and about
the evening of the ifl'.th, with danger of
killing frosts on the 25th, 2(ith and J7th,
to be followed by generally fair and ;
clear weather, with predominating west '
winds. The average temperature should
range about the average during the last
half of the month, while the rainfall is
likely to be deficient with the exception
of NorthßTM Illinois, Indiana and Miehi
i,M!i, which will be in excess.
The above forecast applies to Minneso
ta, the Dakotas. Wisconsin, Western 1111

and the northern half of Missouri anil
Michigan, particularly so In the ord.-r
Riven. Do not try to make this tit At

it is not reliable.
INDICATIONS FOR MAY AND JUNE.
The outlook for the coming crops is
somewhat confusing and would give room
to the, calamity howler for a gue.ss. A
dry, backward and cold spring over tho
entire state of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan, the Dakotas. Nebraska, North
ern Kansas, lowa, Northern Missouri and
Northwestern Illinois is praeticHli'y one of
the certainties of the season. Thus con
sidering, we would not encourage very ex
tensive preparations for large corn crops
in the states named. Wheat and all grain
and cereals which thrive best in such
seasons are the ones tho farmer should de
pend upon for his .success. Corn will be
about the least promising of all 1 the crops
during the months of April, May and
June, but after the Ist of July conditions
promise more favorable for this crop. All
who must depend upon their corn crop
should be in no gival hurry In getting it
In the ground before the middle or end of
May. This might seem ridiculous, but !
corn cannot be grown without favorable
weather and little of this will be had bo
foro the latter part of May. "There is a
time for all things." Bear Ihls in mind.
Put in your crop when it will flourish and
cast aside custom. A crop planted dur
ing the first week of June will prove far
more valuable to the farmer than one
planted during the first half of May. Try
It. "For all things there is a season"—not
meaning a custom, but the time when con
ditions will favor such.
L.ate frosiß are mentioned in the fore
cast and their possible soope of action
During May there Is a possibility of kill
ing frosts the l&h to the 16th, which will
be local In most localities of the Northern
