Mrs. Sevilla S. Friend, relict of Kennedy
I. Friend, died at 2:15 o'clock Saturday,
May 26, at the residence of Mr.. A. j. Good
rich, her son-in-law, of this city. Old age,
or general exhaustion of vital force, may
be assigned as the cause of her death.
Her age was eighty one years. She be-
came the wife of Mr.. K. T. Friend in
Hagerstown, Md, September 6, 1926. AT
tsrward resided in Pittsburg, Pa, num-
Der of years, where her husband engaged
in banking. With her family she came to
st. Paul, whittier her husband had pre-
ceded her in the summer of 1856. We
find in the st. Paul Pioneer of October 16,
1866, an obituary of Mr.. Friend, which
states.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 26.-This was the
fourth day of the spring meeting, and
great crowds of spectators gathered at the
track to witness the race for the Louis
vile cup, two miles and a quarter, and for
which the great Thora, Checkmate, John
Davis and Ida Stankope had been declar-
ed to start. The weather was cloudy with
an occasional light shower, the track good
and the fast defeat of Thora by Ida Stan
hope was the greatest upset of the season,
the daughter of Longfellow and Susan
Ann having been backed at long odds to
win the great event. So confident were the
friends of Reed that his great mare would
win the cup that tEey the night before bid as
much as $4,000 for her in pools of $4,1O0

and Thora was beaten by both her COM
petitors pulling up lame after hard race
which was won in 4:044. The other events
were a half mile race for maiden 2-year
olds, won by Tallyho in good time 4815.

These words which 1 command thee this day
shall be IN thine hearts; and thou shalt teach
them diligently unto thy children. .-Deut. vi; ST.
That the children of the present day are
mot remarkable for the cardinal virtues of
obedience to those in authority, of respect
for age and modesty of department, us the
opinion of the majority iof people.
That they are no improvement upon the
children of fifty or a hundred years ago,
is conceded by dispassionate observers.
In the old Puritan days, at which it is
quite the fashion for empty heads to sneer
children were taught to respect all lawful
authority, to ''rise up before the hoary
head and honor the man of gray hairs"
They were taught to know their place, and
when a person, child or man, knows his
place he has learned lesson not taught in
schools.
The Puritans were severe in their disci-
PlIne, but tyranny was the rule in church
and state. The Decalogue swas strictly
followed, but the New Commandment,
superior to and comprising all the others,
was IN most instances dead letter. Stead
fast in their faith, honestiand pure in their
lives, rigid in their government, into what
stalwart fearless men, what noble self
denying women did their children grow!
Men and women who knew their rights and
da-ed to maintain them. What sort of citi-
xsns will the conceited, forward, dis
respectful youths of these days of lax disci
pline become?
Il love nay children too we'll to restrain

great love or tenderness that made that
mother SO lax in her training, or was it in

The coming week will long be remem-
as an era in the history of st. Paul, gala
day for the twin cities. Fair skies, genial
weather, and fully awakened public in
terest combine, to assure the success of the
first great musical festival of the new
Northwest. The labor of the chorus
is done, and their patient attention and
willing submission to the severe drill nee
essary to perfection, has borne fruit, and
will reflect credit on them and their ener-
getic and pa1nstaking director. The work
of the chorus on Friday evening was ad-
mirable, and when supported by the Or
chestra will surprise and delight their lis
teners. The grandeur of the measures Of
Mendolssohn's forty second psalm, and the
magnificent climax of the finale
to the first act of 'Lo-
hengrin,' which are on the programme for
Monday evening, will give the audience a
fair exemplifcation Of the resources of the
chorus and orchestra combined. The ad-
vantages to be derived from such an occa-
SION are manifold. The fact that the ticket

Charles Mcclure and George Drawer
were arraigned for the crime of assault
and battery, alleged to have been COM

as bell boy at the Metropolitan hotel.
On Wednesday night the defendants were
returning home from the theater, accom-
panied by two young ladies. Both testi-
fed that when they were near the corner
of Third and Washington streets their
ears were saluted by series of express
sions the most vile and infamous known
to the vocabulary of outcasts. They
quickened their footsteps to escape the
disgusting language, but were followed by
the author of the expletives, who continued
their use. When the Metropolitan was
reached Stein came abreast of Mcclure
and firing filthy shot promiscuously,
turned into the hotel. Thereupon the ac-
cused followed Stein and administered a
dose of iaggellation. Stein, with two ac-
companying witnesses, admitted the Ian

$25 each, against Mcclure and Drawer,
which was paid, when they left court with
remarks to the effect that it was rather
difficult to determine where the goddess
justice got in her work, if men were to pay
penalties for protecting ladies from the as
saults of which the above was sample.
Mrs. Scheffer. whose husband conducts
a saloon near the Union mills, obtained a

the arrest of Mat and John
Kelley, whom she accuses of assault.
About midnight Friday night they led a

To see little child, who should be as

A brave, manly, respectful, generous
boy, trained by loving, wise parents,
"whose every kiss is a benediction, and
every caress prayer" is blessing right
from the hand of God.
Boys and girls are just what their par
ents have trained them to be. They are
the embodiment of their examples and
precepts. They may have heard many
prayers and pious exhortations, but the
little acts of daily life are the most dill
gent teachers. A wise mother, who denies
herself; who resolutely represses her incli-
nation to scold and fret; who gives a soft
answer when angry; who is patient, firm
and always truthful and just, may expect
to see these traits in her children. A
father, who takes the time to think of his
boys, and always acts as he wishes them
to, will never blush for their conduct.
Gods word is pledged for this result.
Train ap child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart from
it.'' Be sure if children turn out repro
bates, even when the parents are profess
iag Christians, there has been some defect
in their training.

The arrests for drunkenness on Friday
were numerous, though from the pleas en-
tered yesterday morning in court, it would
seem that none arrested on the charge
mentioned had been guilty. They were
the victims of maleyolence or mistaken
circumstance, but they were fined all the
same, and conclusively established the

John Lally was defined under the head
of simple drunk by Officer Merritt,
and accorded the privilege of paying five
dollars.
Officer Wright found Robert Dawson

to take him to the station. In the face of
this evidence, Dawson protested that not
only had he not been drunk, but that he
was member III good standing of tenn

for years. His statements were altogether
too romantic and the author was fined five
dollars and five days.
E. j. Drannon, Andrew Hogan and j. Fl.
Fitzgerald, a trio from the lumber camps of
Wisconsin, were charged with drunkenness
and disorderly conduct about the union
depot. Each denied the impeachment of
his sobriety and all insisted that any of
them were in the condition alleged. The

Several complaints of nuisances were

Benefit of Mrs. HdinS,

the services of his splendid company, the

Gounod's grand opera of Faust" in the
production of which the char
acter of Marguerite will be impersonated
by Miss Abbie CarrIngton, Mephisto, by
Harry Peakes, the greatest living repre-
sentative of the character, Appleby as
Faust, Elsner as Siebel, Mr. Smith as Val
entine and other soloists of the company
in favorite roles, and full chorus. Pro-
fessor George Siebert promises
that the orchestra shall be the
largest and best ever heard in st. Paul.
Commodore Davidson, as is characteristic
of him, tenders the house and all the at
tendants necessary. In short it is to be,
as claimed, benefit in fact as in name,
everything being volunteered. Thomas W.
Keene and his manager, Will Hayden,
have set good example by sending
$50 for two seats. The profession are
doing their full duty. It remains for the
theatrical patrons of St. Paul for whose
entertainment Col. Hains did so much
by providing them with first class enter
tainments, to see that it shall be benefit
indeed.
