WIDESPREAD FAME
BIINXESOTA AGRICULTURAL. COL
LEGE} HAS A WORLD REP
UTATION
TRIBUTE FROM OTHER STATES
Stndents From Cast and West At
tended the Dairy School Last
Month— What They
Say.
- Booker T. Washington, the noted negro
educator, president of the Tuskegee Nor
mal and Industrial institute, recently ap
plied to President Northrop for a negro
graduate of the Agricultural college who
will be able to fill the chair of agricul
ture at the Tusliegee school, as was
noted in The Globe at the time.
Thus far no colored man has complet
ed the course at the agricultural college,
although there are several colored stu
dents in attendance at present. The fact
that Mr, Washington looked to Minneso
to to supply his need in this respect is
a high tribute to the Minnesota School
of Agriculture, and indicates how exten
sively its high rank is recognized.
Such indications are not lacking at any
time. Some year's ago a representative
of the Japanese government took a
course and graduated from the agricul
tural school to return to Japan to in
struct his countrymen in practical agri
culture. Assistant Dairy Commissioner
B. D. White has just completed his
four weeks' dairy school at the agricul
tural college with unprecedented suc
cess. There was a very large attend
ance, many coming from far distant
states. There was a student from Mas
sachusetts, one from Illinois, one from
Nebraska, one from Washington, and
several from other states East and West.
No person is admitted to this dairy
school institute who has not had at least
one year of practical work. The most
improved methods of butter making are
practiced here, and the benefits derived
cannot be over estimated.
The gentleman from Boston was asked
why he had journeyed so far to take so
short a course, and replied: "I made
a careful investigation to discover which
state offered the best in the line of prac
tical dairy instruction, and found that
Minnesota had the best record, so I came
here. I am more than satisfied now
that I came to the right place. In the
East Minnesota is looked upon as the
leader in this department."
The same story was told by others from
outside states. They all said that upon
inquiry they had been recommended to
come to Minnesota in preference to any
other state.
PROTECT FRUIT TREES
ttORTICIOLTURISTS WANT TEYXES
SEE LAW EXACTED.
Minnesota horticulturists wish to have
the legislature pass a law providing a
penalty for the sale of trees which are
diseased. It has been suggested that the
Tennessee law might be enacted almost
without change. The law provides:
"That is shall be unlawful to grow,
keep, offer for sale, sell, introduce or
transport within the bounds of the state
of Tennessee any plants, scions, trees,
shrubs or vines without a certificate from
the state entomologist showing the same
has been inspected and found to be free
from San Jose scale, yellows, root knot
or any other dangerous insect, pests or
diseases, and each box, bundle, package
or car shall be plainly labeled on the
outside with the name of the consignor
and the najne of the consignee. Every
package shall also bear the certificate of
the state entomologist, as above set forth
in this section, and no certificate shall be
valid longer than twelve months from the
date of inspections. Any person or per
sons knowingly violating this section
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punish
able by a fine of not less than $25 nor
more than $100."

lecting plans and a site for the building.
They will report to the congregation be

LADIES' MATINEE TODAY.
Star Wil Welcome Fair Sex to Fine
Programme.
Manager Singer's announcement that
he would present a special ladies' mat
inee at the Star this afternoon has met
with great favor and a large atendance
is assured. A special programme of un
usual excellence is promised, and Man
ager Singer will make this innovation
so popular that it is likely to become
a permanent feature in response to a
general demand.
Choral Club's Second Concert.
At no time yesterday, after the sale of
seats for the Choral clu'o concert opened
at the Centra-1 church box office at De
er's, were there less than ten people
standing in line. There is every pros
pect for a packed house Tuesday night
The patronage of the public will not be
wasted, for if the "standing room only"
sign swings before the Central church
on Tuesday evening, the best artists the
country can afford are assured for the
April concert. The list of artists for the
concert has not as yet been positively
decided upon. There is a possibility of
the club's securing for the last of its
season's concerts a singer famous for
n.s work in 'The Creation." '
That will, however, depend upon the
financial success of th event now pend
ing. Besides Sara Anderson, next Tues
day 8 concert will afford the people an
exceptional opportunity to hear the club
m works other than oratorio. The short,
bright choruses and part songs appeal
to many who find the heavier music and
text of the oratorio uninteresting.
Pest House Too Small.
The board of aldermen, at Its next
meeting will be asked to pass a resolution
calling for the appropriation of $2,500 to
Duud an addition to the pest house. The
Duiiding now houses nineteen smallpox
patients, and is so inadequate that the
attendants are now sleeping on the floor.

FOR BETTER SCHOOLS
AGITATION FOR SCHOOXi BUILDING
LEGISLATION IS
RIFE
LEGAL SANITARY STANDARD
State Superintendent Favors Mild
Conditions—Renewal of Finan
cial Limitations—X. B. A.
Will Act on It.
The relation of state legislation to
modern school building is one of the
questions which educational circles are
practically agitating at the present time,
and in no state more than in .Minnesota.
"Each state should pass laws requiring
that every school house should measure
up to a certain sanitary standard," was
the proposition advanced at the la3t con
vention of the National Educational as
sociation, and it has been receiving con
siderable attention ever since.
While there is a practical unanimity cf
opinion concerning the necessity of some
legislation governing the construction of
school houses, especially in the rural dis
tricts where school architecture has not
always been what it should be, there is.
however, some difference of opinion as
to the form wMoh.this should take. In
several of the states it has been proposed
to pass a law providing for a building
commission, consisting of architects and
school men, to Institute an official
standard of school buildings which must
be followed toy district officials. In
Illinois and other Eastern states laws are
in effect which provide that school officers
shall submit the proposed plans of new
buildings to the county superintendent
for approval before building.
State Superintendent Olsen is rather in
favor of the latter plan. He says "the
necessity of some sort of supervision, or
rather of some systematic assistance to
districts in the matter of school buildings
whereby rural districts may have the ad
vantage of the t>est architectural advice
is undoubtedly desirable. No olame can
attach to cur rural school aistricts for
the shortcomings apparent in so many of
our school houses. They undoubtedly
desire to do the best they can for the
/district, but they have not the means at
hand necessary to put the best ideas into
practical effect. There might be some
objection to a general law specifying cer
tain standards of school buildings for
school districts. But I do not believe
there could be any objection to a law re
quiring the district officers to submit their
plans to the county superintendent for
approval. He in turn would consult the
state department which could be em
powered to employ architectural advice.
In this way a great Improvement In our
school houses wrould be possible."
Former State Superintendent Lewis is
sued a special bulletin on this subject two
years ago which was widely circulated
and which proved very beneficial. Supt.
Olsen will also devote considerable space
in his biennial report to this important
subject.
C. H. Parsons, of Dcs Mclnes, an
authority on the subject, gave the -Na
tional Educational association his views
at their request, saying, among other
things:
"No permanent, satisfactory solution of
the modern school building can ever be
attained, even in the most enlightened of
our communities, that does not compre
hend the remodeling of state laws, so as
both to enable and require school boards
to produce certain definite and specific
results in the school buildings under
their coi.trol. The school population is
increasing all over the West faster than
the taxable, valuation of municipal prop
erty. In most of our Western state's the
laws limit the amount cf money that can
be voted for the purpose of building a
school house to a certain percentage of
the taxable valuation of the property of
the district. In some of these states the
limit is as low as 4 per cent, while the
assessed valuation is from 25 to 50 per
cent of the actual valuation. The result
is that the board, is hadicapped and even
if they desire cannot build tne right kind
of a school house because of the limit
of the amount they have at their dis
posal, and the architect is^iot to blame
because he can do no better with the
money at his disposal. We need more lib
eral legislation for the purpose of en
abling boards to supply the necessary fa
cilities for the proper conduct cf the
schools. Then, secondly, we want laws
protecting the health of the pupils in ths
schools; framed in such a way as com
mand the respect and obedience of school
officials."
The coming convention of the associa
tion in Minneapolis will appoint a com
mittee to formulate a comprehensive re
port on the subject and draft suitable
laws of this character.
POWDER IN THE CAPITOL
WEDNESDAY'S LITTLE BLA'/iE
MIGHT HAVE BEEX SERIOUS.
Had the fire which started in the state
capitol building W ednesday afternoon ex
tended to the military storekeeper's room
an explosion would have occurred which
would have wrecked the entire bull dinar,
and would have relieved The insurance
companies of their risk. Each insurance
policy expressly states that exotO3ives
are not to be kept in the building, and
yet several kegs of gun powdor ora in
the military supply room at all times.
Underwriters say that the storing cf
powder in the building contrary to the
terms of the policy invalidates all the in.
surance and not one cent could be col
lected t>y the state were the building to
burn. The man who had charge of tho>
room realized the danger when the alarm
was turned in and carried powder cut
of the eapitol.
It is quite probable that the matter
will receive consideration from those ;n
authority, and that the explosives viil
all be removed from the building in .irdir
that the insurance may be carried on the
etrvcrure.
SENT TO COMMITTEE
SINKS CASE TO BE DEALT WITH
BY THE ASSEMBLY.
By adroit manipulation the assembly
last night sent a. resolution revoking the
sanitation license of George W. Sinks to
the committee on streets.
By some mistake two resolutions revok
ing the license found their way into the
mass of papers before the clerk. One
from the committee on streets of, the as
sembly, refusing to revoke, was given
passage by a close vote, while another
from the board of aldermen, revoking the
license, was sent to the committee. The
discussion over this matter was spirited,
Assemblyman Craig leading in a few re
marks derogatory to the attitude of Dr.
Ohage, who .he said, was trying to dictate,
but who refused to attend the meetings
of the committee when the matter came
up for investigation.
Later in the evening Assemblyman
Wheeler attmepted to secure a reconsider
ation of the vote en the resolution passed.
This called forth an accusation of "sharp"
practice from Assemblyman Nelson, a*nd
a lively debate followed.
Slate Abstractors Meet.
The State Abstracters' association Is
holding its annual meeting at the V.'ind

nothing of importance was accomplished.
The meeting will be continued today and

NEED GOOD LIBRARIANS
SAYS MISS MARVIN, OF WISJCONSIX
COMMISSION.
Miss Marvin, of the Wisconsin state
Jjorary commission spent Tuesday and
Wednesday in conference with Mis 3 Clara,
ia.'awln of the Minnesota romirusslon,
in regard to the cd-operative work of me
commissions.- Miss Baldwin has f.i>j li
brary handbook, which will be used by
several states, almost ready for the
printer, and ihis was gone ort-, as v/c'l
as the book lists, which in the co opera
tive scheme Wisconsin is to supply to <li*
etates uniting in the plan.
Miss Marvin said that the chief aims
oi the work at present are to secure
trained librarians and good books. The
carefully compiled booik lists are the
means employed to further the latter pur
pose.. For the former every spur is be
ing applied, to the library boards and li
b'.;:rians to induce them to hell in the
matter of securing training for library
employes. The goal which t'.ie commis
sion has in mind is a method of certifica
tion for librarians, similar to that re
quired of teachers. This will be to the
advantage of the competent libra-lans,
as the raising of standards for the work
will Inevitably .be followed by Increased
salaries. The idea of the commission ts
thst the librarians in the smaller towns
should receive salaries corresponding to
the grade teachers of the same places,
and in the larger towns the librarians'
salaries should correspond to those of
the school principals. Any increase in
salaries is a step in advance, for boards
wnl look for an equivalent in competent
service.
Definite steps to aid In raising the
standards of library work have been tak
en by the state federation of" wornon's
clubs. At the last convention it appoint
e<l a committee to inquire into the iiualin
eation of librarians. This committee is
expected to investigate existing condi
tions and to recommend plans for Im
provements. The inefficiency of librarians
is the bane of library work in all o' Hip
smr.'ier towns and villag-es.
The traveling library system !ri which
Wisconsin takes the lead, continues to
nourish, and is especially prosperous and
growing in its German department An
exchange system of German books' lms
been inaugurated among the villages.
L-ach pays the value of one traveling
library and has in turn the reading of all
the German libraries. Syllabi fcr study
jfinnouncements.
One of the most delicious comedies that ever came from
the pen of the great Shakespeare is "The Taming of the
Shrew," which will be presented at the Metropolitan Opera
House in this city for the first half of next week, beginning
Sunday evening. The production will be made by the eminent
Shakespearian actor, Mr. Charles B. Hanford, supported by a
company that is promised to be entirely adequate. Mr. Han
ford has been seen in this city on a number of occasions in
the past, and the painstaking care with which all his produc
tions of the works of the world's greatest dramatist have
been given is a sufficient guarantee that this performance of
one of the greatest comedies ever written will be complete in
every particular.
For the last half of the week, comedy will give place to
tragedy, and the bill will be Sardou's great play, "La Tosca,"
which will be interpreted by Mr. Melbourne McDowell, assisted
by Miss Florence Stone. Miss Stone is a stranger to theater
goers of this city, but the critics all over the country have
been enthusiastic in her praise, and she has been compared
to the late Fanny Davenport with whom Mr. MacDowell was,
for so many years, associated. Mr. MacDowell is well known
to local theater-goers, as he has been seen in Sardou's dramas
a number of times in the Twin Cities.
The Globe is pleased to announce that it has arranged
for twenty of its readers to see these two masterpieces abso
lutely free of charge. On the want pages of next Sunday's
paper there will be the names of two popular comedians, the
name of the piece in which they are appearing, the name of
the theater in which they will be seen in this city and the
date of their opening. The writers of the first ten letters
containing the correct answers to be opened at The Globe
office will be given tickets to Mr. Hanford's production of
"The Taming of the Shrew," and the next ten to Mr. Mac-
Dowell's production of "La Tosca." The conditions of the
contest are as follows:
The want ads containing the names of the comedians re
ferred to above, the name of the piece in which they are ap
pearing this season, the name of the theater, and the date of
their opening in this city, must be cut from the pages of The
Globe, pasted on a sheet of paper and mailed to the Contest
Editor. At 5 o'clock Monday afternoon the letters will be
opened and the writers of the first ten that contain the cor
rect answer will be given two seats each for Mr. Hanford's
production of "The Taming of the Shrew." The second ten
will be given two seats each for Mr. MacDowell's production
of "Ta Tosca." All the answers must be enclosed in envel
opes addressed to the Contest Editor of The Globe and
mailed to or left at the business office of Th c Globe.
The dramatic critic of The Globe, who has seen both
these plays a number of times, gives the assurance that both
are models of their kind and that those who are fortunate
enough to secure seats will enjoy a rare treat.
are now being prepared and supplied with
the general traveling libraries, each of
which has a group of related books.
STATE OFFERS REWARD
FOR CAPTIRE OP MURDERERS—
$500 WILL BE PAID.
The state of Minnesota will assist in
the effort to capture the murderers of
Policeman Mayer. Gov. Van Sant yes
terday issued a proclamation offering a
rewatrd of $500 on the part of the state
for the capture of the murderers, efl
follows:
Whereas, It has been made to satisfac
torily appear to me that on the Ist day
of February, A. P, 1902, one Charles May
er, of the city of St. Paul, Minn., was
by unknown persons brutally shot and
murdered while in the discharge of ha
duty as police officer of said city of St.
Paul; and
Whereas, The perpetrators of said crimje
have not been a/rested and the public
safety requires their capture, conviction
and punishment for said offense:
Now, therefore, I, Samuel R. Van Sant,
governor of the state of Minnesota, will
cause to be paid out of the treasury of
said state the sum of five hundred (ssoo>
dollars for the arrest and conviction of
the perpetrators of said crime, or for
sudh information as will lead to the afore
said arrest and conviction.
Witness my hand and the great seal
of the state, this 6th day of February,
A. D. 1902.

PLAIN LAMPS TO GO
BOARD OIF PUBLIC WORKS GIVES
OitDCRS FOR SUPPXrY OF
WEL.SBACH MANTLES
CHANGE TO BE MADE AT ONCE
Recent Complications, and Saving 1
From Period of Darkness,
Make This Step
Possible.
As soon as an order issued by the
board of public works yesterday can
go into effect, every plain gas lamp in
the city will be equipped with a Wells
bach mantle and hood, similar to the
arrangement that now exists on Summit
The lighting muddle now on and the
money saved in consequence of the city
being partially in darkness the past
month is responsible for the order, the
board having figured that the difference
in price between the old and the new will
be amply met by the saving.
The order calling for the installation
of the new lamps was placed with tho
St. Paul Gas company, and as soon as
the mantles and other attachments aro
secured, the lights will be started. For
the plain lamp the city pays $23 a year,
while those with the incandescant ar
rangement will cost $29 a year. While
the plain lamp furnishes an eighteen
candle power light, the new arrange
ment will give sixty-candle power, and
the board figures that if the burden
becomes too great, the number of lamps
now in use can be reduced and the city
still be better lighted.
There are now nearly 2,500 plain gas
lights in use, and the work of convert
ing them into incandescents will entail
an additional expenditure of over $15,000.
Some of this increase was provided for
in the budget, while the remainder will
be met by the saving that has resumed
because of unlighted gasoline lamps The
cost of maintaining the incandescent
lamps on Summit avenue, which has here
of the t +T mSK hy th& ProPerty-owners
of that thoroughfare, will now be paid
•by the city under the new arrangement.
The suburban districts, which is light
ed by plain gasoline lamps, is still In
darkness, but the contractors, the Cleve
land Vapor Light company, say they
will in all probability be ready for busi
ness by the first of next week

COUNCIL ASKS WHY
WOULD KNOW THE REASON FOR
PRESENT MISERABLE STREET
CAR SERVICE
ASSEMBLY VOTE UNANIMOUS
Street Car Company Cannot Remedy
'Present Defects for at
.liea.st Thirty ,
Days.
The present unsatisfactory condition of
the St. Paul street car service is to re
ceive council investigation. By a resolu
tion introduced in the assembly last even
ing by Assemblyman Craig, President
Schiffmann, of the common council, was
instructed to Inquire into the miserable
service now in existence, find out the
cause, see if it can be remedied and re
port back without delay to the council.
In offering the resolution Mr. Craig dU
not accompany it with any remarks. Thp
vote was unanimous. Supt. Smith, of the
ralilway company, was in attendance, but
he offered no explanation or remon
strance. One member was on the point
of making inquiry, but other business
at this juncture was pushed forward, ana
the question lost in the rush.
As stated in The Globe several days
ago, the street car company has been
dropping cars ever since its power failed
at the opening of the cold spell. This,
with a service inadequate to the de
mands upon it, has caused general com
plaint, and formed! the basis of the in
vestigation demanded by the assembly
last night. The company admits its crip
pled condition, but says that matters will
be remedied as soon as its new power
plant is equipped and the water at its
dam ir creases in volume. It is said tbat
in St. Paul alone nearly thirty cars have
been dropped from service since the pow
er gave out.
An employe of the street railway com
pany said yasterday that it would De
thirty days before the company coula
improve present conditions.

able body to give to the women citizens
of this state, over twenty-one years of
age, the right to vote for presidential
election."
The Minnesota Women's Suffrage asso
ciation has issued the above petition and
are sending copies of it to presidents of
the various 1 organizations in Minnesota
for signatures. The petition was read
yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Warren Up
hatn, superintendent of franchise for the
state W. C. T. U. at a meeting cf the
Somerset W. C. T. U., held at her home
in Central park. Mrs. Upham stated that
<both women and men's signatures were
desired for the petition and that the
nesota suffragists intendr-d to send it to
the next national congress. Mrs. Upham
further stated that because of the pe
culiar laws governing Minnesota, permis

woiud grant the women of the state suf
frage. She would, she explained, in com

every Women's Christian Temperance
union in the state.
The matter of a detention house where
men and women might find a temporary
home after they left the work house until
they obtained employment was discus&eu
by the union yesterday. The members all
agreed that some home of the sort was
necessary and as a body expressed their
approval of it. They realize, however,
that it was really a matter for the city
or county as a whole to take action upon.

Mr. Munn, of the law firm of Munn &
Thygeson, lakes exception to the story
printed in Thursday's Globe in regard
to the Injuries which John P. Emborg
claims to have sustained at the hands of
one of the firm's employes.
Mr. Munn says Emborg came to the of
fice, but denies that he was thrown
out nor were hands laid on him at all.
"This man Emborg-," said Mr. Munn to
The Globe, "is a peculiar sort of a
fellow and has been around, town fur a
number of years. He has forged the
names of judges of the district and su
preme courts ot papers relative to the
case he claims to be interested in, but no
notice has been taken of this, because ot
his mental condition.
"lie came to our office on the day men
tioned and desired to see Mr. Thygeson,
who has been in the habit of giving him
small sums of money recently. He was
persistent in his efforts to get to Mr.
Thygeson and he was informed tnat Mr.
Thygeson was cut, which was true.
"However, Mr. Hintemeister, one of our
employes, at last ordered him out of- the
office. He went peaceably enough, and
there vms no violence at all. he left our
office just as well physically as he came.
"I understand that he told one of the
physicians that attended him that he was
struck by a street car or a coal wagon
and that is where he, no doubt, got his
injuries, for he certainly was not hurt at
our office."
"Emborg told his story to a member of
the firm cf Thoorsell & Thaung, stating
that he had received the injuries at Munn
& Thygeson's office and it was repeated
to The Globe by one of that linn."
Emborg was attended by Drs. Miller
and Dunning and is now at Bethesda
hospital in a critical condition.
