PRACTICAL BENEvoLENCE.

No more laudable scheme of practical be-
nevolence could be inaugUrated than the
one proposed of establishing school for
nurses. The need of the sick room i'm ev-
cry city is competent nurse. The skill of
the physician and the devotion of friends
often avail nothing for lack of a faithful
and competent nurse. Unlike poets, nurses
are not born. 1t requires training, drilling,
educating, TO make a good nurse-one that,
in effect, becomes the physicians right hand.
carrying comfort and confidence wherever
they go. There ought to be a training
school for nurses in every city. 1t would
open the door for women to find an occu-
patton in which they could find self-sup-
port and at the same time do great good to
suffering humanity.

Knows Nothing About Willard.

Mr.. Frederick Billings, since his return
from his inspection trip over the Northern
Pacific road, has been living at his home in
Woodstock, vi. In regard to the coming
Northern Pacific stockholders meeting. Mr..
Billings says that he has neither been issu-
ing circulars nor soliciting proxies, nor
scheming in any way about the election.
That the thought of the connection of Mr..
Willard with any movements for the next
presidency had never entered his head, and
he was utterly at a loss To know how any
body could have started such n report. His
own view as TO the election is that the pres
ent board should solicit proxies. and not let
matters drift or get into tangle by individ-
ualS seeking proxies in various interests.
He is sure that this is the better way to Sc
cure harmony in the management and sue
cess for the enterprise.

assault upon an estimable lady. Monday

Ward assaulted her. Ward gave bonds in

Ward had been paying improper attentions

Mrs Tolve, who lives with her husband in
house belonging 10 Ward on Bush street,
near his (Wards) residence, for some time.
On Monday afternoon Mrs. TOlve asked her

was resisted, and when the husband rushed
into the room he seized Ward and sent his
wife for the police. Ward, however. es-

MINNESOTA.
Duluth i'm RasIaeS,

The wife of Vice President Cakes and
aparty of lady friends visited Duluth yester-
day in special car. They came over from
Ashland and left last night for Brainerd.
They visited all the places about the city
and were delighted with their trip. . =. Pres
ident SimondS of the chamber of commerce
has appointed the following committee to
attend the Mississippi river convention:
Judge Stearns, c. p. Bailey. c. F. John
son, w. G. Peck and this gives fifteen in
all from Duluth. five from the board of
trade, five from the chamber of commerce
and five appointed by the mayor to repre-
sent the village. The board of trade here
decided not to issue second mortgage bonds
to complete their new building. They have
assessed each member $50 and this will
raise all the funds needed. Another of
their important decisions is that after
be limited to 800, with the
admission fee $500. The demand for seats
has been very great of late, many of them
being merely for speculative purposes. The
Intention of the board seems to be to have
only bona tide traders holding seats The
building Is progressing very rapidly, and
when completed will be one of the very
finest i'll the city,. j. j. Hill was here
Tuesday looking over the grounds for the
fall trade in wheat. The st. Paul Dispatch
seems to think that Hill is mashed on
Duluth. and the paper is about right. A
rumOr reached here from st. Paul that Hill
was interested in new road from this
point to the borders of Manitoba. He finds
that the wheat of the Northwest must come
here, and j. j. Hill is not the man to get
left. There is a very general impression
in Duluth that he is backing the Duluth &
Northern road, recently incorporated.
Readers of the GLOBE remember that
the incOrporatOrs of this road are Duluth
and Minneapolis men, all of them men of
worth, but the sinews of war are supposed
to be drawn from Hills pOcketbOok. His
speech at the Ryan banquet and other sub
sequent utterances of his 90 to show that
his attention and thought have been
given much to Duluth of late years, and
Duluthians are rather flattered at this.
Whether they are or not, Jim Hill is coming
to Duluth, not from any sentimental mo-
tives, but from hard. pecuniary considera-
lions. The Manitoba system is more de-
pendent upon the wheat market at this
point than even the Northern Pacific, and
Hill has foresight enough to see it. The
st. Paul 81 Duluth road is putting down
another track between Rice's Point and the
depot. This will make four tracks where
two years ago there was only one.
