ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
Practical Reports and Talks at Yes
tcrday,s Convention.

Nearly twenty charities were represented
at the meeting of the Associated Charities
yesterday afternoon. including all of the
homes, hospitals and public missions. Sec
rotary Holt reported the result of the work
of the organization and of the Friendly Inn,
deducing the following conclusions: OF all
who apply for aid three-eighths are frauds.
one-quarter stand more in need of work
than aid, another quarter are actually
needy from misfortune and circumstances.
and the remaining eighth are helpless in
taking care of themselves and in finding the
means of subsistence. He had found eight
cases of fraud and gave instances of how it
was pTacticed. Each of the charitable in
stitutions represented named its officers and
outlined its objects. all of which is entirely
familiar to the reading public. but proved
quite interesting. Mr.. Holt reported that
he was getting out series of blanks for
use in the cooperative work, and it is nee
essary, as he explained, that full cO-opera-
ton be extended, so that all needy persons
may be assisted and every fraud exposed.
A communication was received from the
conference of charities at New Orleans
asking cooperation in cases of Minneapolis
people at New Orleans or vice versa, the
matter being referred to the secretary. In
order TO make the regular meeting more in
teresting it was decided hereafter to discuss
some practical subject or have paper read.
A committee 70 arrange this was appointed,
but Mrs. L. b. Walker gave out practical
question. which she said had occurred in
her wanderings: When a father and full
grown son spend their money for whisky
leaving the mother and children TO suffer-
what should be done with the father and
son and what with the family? This will
be discussed at the next meeting.

A "FENCEv AS PLAINTIFF.
Green's Case Against Quinian--Ver-
dict for Defendant.

An amusing case was tried in the munic-
ipal court yesterday. Or, rather. the testi-
mony adduced was quite amusing. 1t was
the case brought against Emanuel Green
against Detective NJ. Quinlan to recover the
sum of S42, alleged to be due the plaintiff
in consideration of goods delivered to the
defendant. Green is the notorious fence"
who has twice been convicted and who
was sentenced to state prison. and
it was the result of Detective Quinlan's
efforts that the man was pardoned by the
governor. While on the witness stand
Green charged Quinlan and the members of
the police department with being scoun-
drels, robbers, etc. He also alleged. in
language more emphatic than eloquent, that
w. ID. Donahue, attorney for the defend
ant, was in collision with Quinlan to swim
die him (Green) out OF $500. To particu-
lariZe, the plaintiff testified that he let
Quinlan have, at divers times, goods at less
than the price paid. and cited an overcoat
costing $40, for which he received SIS: a
set of furs costing SIS, for which ha re-
ceived SIS; three pairs of shoes costing
81. so each, for which he received 81 only.
Detective Quinlan going on the witness
stand testified that the goods specified by
Green were stolen and that he recovered
them. paying Green a portion of the money

Oppo.ed 10 the CLIQUE.

The GLOBES announcement OF Col
Kings candidacy for the mayoralty has
stirred up the Republican politicians Maj.
Shaw, formerly a Minneapolis editor, says
in the st. Paul Dispatch:
IL IS reported that upon the announcement
OF Mayor PillsDury's decision not to accept q
denomination. coterie OF Minneapolis Re
puolicans met in secret conclave and fixed
upon Col William $. King as the Republican
candidate for mayor in the coming municipal
election II this report IS true we are sorry
for IL Not because Col. King would not
make an excellent mayor. but because, as ex-
perieuce has repeatedly demonstrated, can
didate thus placed IN nomination by clique
OF self-constituted leaders is sure to be
beaten Four years ago the Hon. c. ".
Loring was placed in nomination by about
the same process, and notwithstan ding his
great worth and popularity he was beaten by
Dr. Annes by 200 majority. Two years ago
the same clique tried TO hold private caucus
and nominate J. T. Wyman- But the young
Republicans got wind OF the movement and
threatened TO kick over the traces. The result
was that Mr. Pilsbury was brought out in a
series OF open meetings, in which all Repub-
hcans had the right 10 a voice. The choice
thus expressed was ratified by the Republican
city convention. and Mr.. Piiisbury was elected
by over 1000 majority. Therefore We trust
there viii be no more private meetings. no
more attempted dictatiOn by prominent
but self-constituted representatives OF the
party in either city. Let everything be open
and above board Let the humblest Republi-
can have MS say in selecting the candidates
equally with the nabob and acknowledged
party leader"

TALKING OF WATERWAYS.
Congregational Appropriation Dis
cusscd by the Board of Trade.


The interesting feature Of the meeting Of
the board of trade yesterday morning was
the presentation OF memorial to congress
on the subject of waterway appropriations
and the discussion which followed il.
Capt Reno presented the memorial, which
I'm substance directed the attention of con-
gress to the importance of improving the
1850 miles of waterway, enclosing and
permeating the state. including the Mime
sofa, Mississippi. Missouri, Red and St.
CrOix rivers, the Lake Superior harbOrs and
the reservoir system al Leech and Winneba-
goshish. In this connection Col u. B.
Walker, who was present Oh invitation made
long speech, giving the report Of the
progress of tine work in Washington. In
regard to the reservoirs, on which he laid
the greatest stress. he said that when the
work was completed, for which appropria-
tions had beeTfxhade. there would be IL, 900
cubic feet Of water 90 over the Falls of
St. Anthony per second. instead Of 1000,
as at present. In regard to the navigation
between here and st. Paul, he said nothing
more than survey could be made this
year; but whether improvements were
made or not, a steel steamer with steel
barges would come up TO Minneapolis and
wake the morning echoes with its whistle.
He thought the navigation between Mime
apOiis and st. Paul dangerous, on account
of rocks but said there was more water
there than between St. Paul and Hastings,
where the only obstruction was sand. In
closing he appealed to the board TO hold up
the hands of the Minnesota congressional
delegation, which was a unit IN hard work
to secure the appropriation. After some
little discussion the matter was referred back
to the committee to complete its work.
Maj. Bassett recalled the discussion of
last week. on the subject of International
trade, by introducing a series OF resolutions
declaring against the present ship law. Mr..
Wyman and Capt. Merriam said this would
introduce political discussion on the queS-
ton of free ships, with which the board
had nothing to do, and the resolutions were
tabled.

FIRST NIGHT GOSSIP.
Emmett mt the Grand--At the Mu-
seum--Around the Theaters.

Fritz Emmet reached Minneapolis in
good form and appeared before fine house
at the Grand last night. The bill was
Fritz in Ireland" which is probably the
best of his Fritzes, and was given in good
STYLE. Emmet sang his Lullaby, the Cuckoo
song and others of his famous vocalizatiOns
even better than when here the last time
and the applause was natural and hearty.
The story is unchanged. but little variety
business is run in, which, while it was en-
joyed by many, IS undoubtedly a mistake,
as it conveys the impression that Emmett
needs it to help him out. The fact is, that
in spite of his increased flesh. Emmett is
still active and graceful, with a clear,
laughing eye and the same old fascinating
''yOdel," and he does not really require the
aid of the little variety business to leaven
the play. One or two more songs by him
self, and especially new ones. would be
much more acceptable. The company is
very fine all around. The same bill will
run for half the week.
The big attraction at the dime museum
this week is the Rolla mystery, which Is
certainly wonderful and clever illusion.
Resting on a shelf in cabinet is the bust

were decidedly puzzled. The skeleton man
and the sword eater are still there, and
good stage performance is given.
This morning at the Grand the sale of
season tickets for the Italian opera will
begin. Sale of seats for separate nights
will begin on Thursday morning. Prices
range from So TO 80 cents. Arrangements
are being made for excursions from all sur
rounding cities and towns, and three fine
houses are anticipated.
The ''Mikallo" is running at Pence this
week. Though. by dint of drill and re-
hearsals il is continually improving. the
business continues small. a little more
thorough system of advertising would help
1t out enormously.
Burr Oaks" on the boards at the Com
ique, was witnessed by a small audience
last night The play is the product of the
genius of a man named Higgins and last
year was produced in legitimate theaters.
1t has good situations. but the lines are
poor and money was lost on it. 1t has now
gone into the variety houses.

mr. AnkenY Defines His Position
and Draws the Issues.
Hon. A. T. Ankeny was found yesterday
at his Office, and in answer TO questions by a
GLOBE reporter, spoke as follows:
''Mr. Ankeny, are you OF are you not a
candidate for mayor?"
e.Emphatically, am not" was the quick
reply. ''Of course, if state of things
were to arise in the convention which is not
at all probable. that harmonious conclu-
sion could not be reached upon either of the
two candidates. DIR. Ames and Henry

yention. But this is not at all likely. |

The convention will name the man and the
people will elect him."
''How does Mayor Pillsbury's declination
strike you?"
well, L really think Mayor Pillsbury is
sick of the office. He has heavy business
of his own, which requires much attention,
and he has not been able to give the duties
of the Office that careful supervision they
now demand. This is getting to be big

and strong arm and steady eye over il.
You don't suppose any Democrat would
have had such nonsense for a moment as
we have had with Kirkham and the likel
In my opinion too much attention has been
paid to regulating the morals of the people
and too little to the proper business inter
ests of the city. We have citizens here of
all nations and classes. They have their
own customs and opinions, and once in a
while they may not always gibe with every
body's notions. You can't make cast-iron
rules. No. Let the financial and business
interests of tile city be properly cared for
and I'll vOuch for the morals. We want a
reform in this matter. We want an eff

alone. But above all we want a mayor to

make up city properly"

NEW MASONIC TEMPLE.
Long e. KEGS the Successful Archie
ects--Description of the Building.

AT last nights meeting of the board Of
directors of the Masonic temple, Long *
KEGS were the successful architects. over
five competitors. Three-fourths of the
members of the board were present, the
Others being absent from the city. Col.
Fred Hooker, presided. The resignation of
Secretary George Simpson was rendered
and accepted. Mr.. Simpson explained that
he had not the necessary time to
devote to the duties OF the Office,
owing to business demands. DR.. S.
5. Kilvington was unanimously elected to
I'LL the vacancy. and he acknowledged the
compliment in neat speech. The building
committee reported that week had been
spent in comparing the plans submitted by
SIX of our leading architects, namely:
w. II. Dennis, j. Haley, l.. ). Burlington,
Long and KEGS, Joralman 81 Ferrin and
George w. Hayes and decided to recon-
mend TO the board the plans Of two firms,
Long x KEGS and Joralman * Ferrin for
adoption. The board then made careful
and comprehensive comparison and
selected the plans drafted by Long & KEGS,
subject to certain alterations and improve
ments. The building is to be of brown
stone, eight stories high and will cost
S165, 600. Besides the basement and
inst floor. it will contain six
lodge rooms for the different Masonic
bodies, the necessary ante and reception
rooms, large drill hall s0x100 feet on the
top floor, banquet room, kitchen, pantry and
modern toilet room. 144 offices, OF which 40
will be outside or light offices. The object
of the building will be, first. to provide
rooms, ETC., and, second, TO realize profit
able rental, and it is estimated by those
competent to judge, taking low estimate
of the rentals that will be received,
that it will pay at least 10 per cent. on the
investment, beside furnishing lodge rooms,
there is good prospect that the balance of
the subScriptionS-S50.0 00-will be raised.
and the building committee was instructed
to proceed at once with the excavation.
