The Annual Meeting Neutrality-suspicious.
Showing Gratifying Progress.
Yesterday afternoon the society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals and children
held it's annual meet at its rooms on Robert
street, received the annual reports of its off,
GERS and elected its officers for the ensuing
year.
THE sEoRETARY's REPORT.
Secretary Chase read his report OF the do
ings of the organization for the year. In do
ing SO he referred with great regret to the
death of Mrs. BARTLETT Presley, who was
prominent member of the society. AS the re-
port is short it is given in full:
To the Officers and Managers OF the st. Paul
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to An
finals and Children:
LADIES AND ENTLEMEN:-It devolves upon
me, as secretary of your society, to submit
report of our work for another year.
The experience of the past year, more than
any other, has demonstrated the fact that the
society has no longer to contend with public
Indifference and official apathy, but hereafter
can rely upon the actual interest OF the one
and cooperation of the other.
One of it's most encouraging features has
been the manifestation of an increased interest
in the work (both by word and deed) by a
large number of influential ladies. But, while
we rejoice in such valuable acquisitions to our
ranks, we sorrow for the loss of one who,
from the first, has taken an active interest in
our work, and was ever ready to "speak for
those who could not speak for themselves.
And in their behalf our society joins with
those who mourn the death Of Mrs. b. Pres
ley. The number of cases on record in which
the society and its friends have been
called upon to take action the past
year has been twenty-one. But this
by no means includes the large number
of cases when the officers and managers by
their timely presence and admOnitien have
prevented gross acts of cruelty.
A few instances will suffice to show the
character of the work.
No. 2, A man arrested, tried and sent to Jail
for knocking horse down with club.
MOI, A child saved from the danger of be-
| ing wheeled over an elevated tight rope at
circus exhibition.
No. IL, Man arrested on complaint OF ladies
for cruelty beating a horse. Case still pend
ing on account of disagreement otjury.
No. IS, A man arrested, tried, convicted
and fined through the heroic and unaided Ell
| forts of lady for beating an overloaded horse
| in front of her residence.
No. IL, A man arrested by the city police,
convicted and fined $40 for cruelty to animals.
Mentioned as illustrating the interest TAX
en- by our city authorities in the enforcement
of the laws.
| Instead of erecting another fountain as we
proposed at the commencement of the year,
we have been obliged to remove one we
already had located on the corner of Fourth
and Sibley streets. The city waterworks
the society, but it is hoped that if the
city obtains control of these works the society
will be relieved from further expense and re-
| sponsiblity in this respect by the city provid-
ing all necessary facilities of troughs, fountains
| etc., at their ewn cost.
| Allow me to ask your attention once more
to the great necessity of republishing report
| in regard to the work in our own state, but to
enable me to reciprocate like favorS from cog
nate societies throughout almost the entire
| civilized world.
We gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness
| to those who have voluntarily furnished infor-
nation in regard to violations of the law, and
| to those of our city officials who have so will
| lingly aided us in its execution.
E. W. CHASE, sec'y.
The report was listened to with interest and
on motion of DR.. Dana was accepted and
adopted.
ANOTHER REPORT.
L MI. ~ W. NOJtS, plcoiuCul VI luC 41lHuCoObA
| society for the prevention of cruelty to ami
| mails and children, made the following report
| to show what the state society is doing in the
| same field:
The work of our society, during the year
now past, has been one of prevention and in
| fuence of good, rather than of punishment
| for crime committed.
Since our last report only one case OF cruelty
| to animals outside the city of st. Paul (where
| twenty-three complaints were entered and five
prosecuted), and Minneapolis (where three
prosecutions occurred) has been prosecuted by
us, although several other cases of cruelty
| have been reported and offenders warned. In
the case referred to, at Kasson, the guilty
party was arrested, convicted and punished.
Under the law for "Protection of Children"
secured two years since by this society, two
| (2) cases have been prosecuted. In one, the
parents of blind boy of such tender years as
J to prevent his being received at our state asy-
lum for the blind, have been put under bonds
| to secure kinder and better care; and in the
other, girl of Is years was rescued from a
cruel father, placed under our protection, and
provided with safer and happier home. This
| work, simple aud unpretentious as it has been,
| is one which demands the hearty and inter-
ested support of every humane and Christian
citizen. A report of our general work, giving
| legal forms for use, and copies of our laws re-
lating to this special work, will soon be issued
Respectfully,
DANIEL r. MOVES, President.
E. w. CHASE, Secretary.
THE MONEY QUESTION.
The reports of the treasurers of the two So
| cieties show that both organizations have
small balances in the treasures in their favor.
This being the case, on motion of Mr.. Noyes
it was voted that the secretary have the laws
published in suitable form for lacking up on
| walls for the inspection of the public.
