THE ST. PAUL LYCEUM.
Several Brief Speeches on Labor and
Education Last Night.

Il
There was fair attendance at the St.
Paul lyceum last evening, President Miner
in the chair. Judge Z. H. Wood was in
troduced as the speaker of the evening. He
said he was in sympathy with labor organ
izations, and believed the intelligence of
the laboring community could be depended
upon for peaceful solution of the labor
problems. The free discussion allowed i'll
this country was a guarantee OF this. and
Europe was making a mistake in not allow
ing this same discussion. This same intel
ligence, with quiet, united work, brought
about a railroad strike in fourteen states
simultaneously and a peaceful stopping OF
railroad business.
COL J. IL. Gieske was called upon.
He asserted that laws had been made for
the capitalist ever since the greenback was
degraded by congress, and the soldiers took
them for gold. came home and sold them FOR
20 cents to men who went to the pnblic GRID
and got gold for them. He prophesled the
time when men would not be tied TO any
party, but would use the ballot box as means
of upholding principles.
MI Ives, vice president, spoke OF the
public schools, and said that twenty years
hence the children not attending the public
schools would be making laws for the coun-
try as well as those now in the public
schools. Because this was so, he was lii
favor of compulsory education, and hoped
Minnesota would have such law before
many years.
Secretary Bates said the impression had
got abroad that this lYceum was gotten up
for political purposes, and he thought that
no candidate should be advocated principle
only. Mr.. Gieske objected to the practice
of charging members of the lyceum 10 cents
admission and cents week, and moved
the executive committee be empowered to
solicit subscriptions from business men to
pay the rent of the hail. This motion pre-
vaiiod. Mr.. GieSke ring to head the list
BY Li.uuwing in So. ...5 suggestion of the
secretary regarding politics caused consid-
cradle rambling discussion on the method
of organization of the lyceum, which
brought out the fact that there was no con-
stitution, no bylaws, in fact, no basis of
organization whatever.

AProbabie Niarriage.

Frank Steinhauser was yesterday arrested
on warrant. The complaining witness is
Mary Wallrich. who charges him with being
the father-of her infant child. The case
was first brought to the notice of the police
by the finding of the baby in the rear of a
building on West Seventh street, Friday
morning. Steinhauser is willing to marry
the girl and it is probable the case will be
settled this morning by Judge Cory per-
forming the marriage ceremony.

BUT THIS IS WHAT

1 was getting at away back at the begin
ming of this letter; that at Rockaway the
women go to the extreme of modeSty and
wear clothing all over themselves, No ES-
quimaux Squaw was ever more completely
dressed, or dressed more perfectly hide
ously, either. The place is the prude's
paradise. The first thing woman has on
is straw hat, the shape of big dinner
bell, completely covering her head down to
her shoulders and tilted only so as to show
little of her face when you are right in
front of her. Then she has a thick, blue
flannel shirt that buttons up to the throat
and down to the waist; then a heavy blue
flannel petticoat reaching below her knees.
and then trousers of blue flannel caught in
at the knees with frill. The homeliest
part of any woman-her feet-iS the only
part left uncovered. Such guys! They look
like the women in the old Bloomer cos
tunes that were adopted by the corpora
tive communities that were intended
to put all citizens on an equality and rear
range society l honestly think those
bloomer dresses broke up the experiments
and postponed the millennium fifty or hun
dred years, for no one could expect the men
to stick to any state of existence in which
all the women dressed like bean-pole done
up in rags. They would not come to Rock
away either if the young ladies dressed in
the same way at the hotels and on the
promenades. but here they appear in pre-
sentable clothes. ''Just like folks" as I
heard a child say when she saw the ridicu-
lous little chimpanzee in Central Park eat
ing with his knife But just let me try
once again, and this time l promise to
catch up to the beginning of my wandering
story about Miss Cleveiand's imaginary
line. My trip demonstrated that there is a
line somewhere in bathing styles to which
ladies should fasten themselves. The i'm
modest dresses. with short skirts and I'M
clad necks, instead of trousers,

Women hurt themselves and put their sex
at discount when they forget their mod
esty. But glance at this beach here at
Rockaway is equally unsatisfactory. Too
much modesty wont do, either. Bare feet
and long trousers and full sleeves and hats
like slop-receivers make women hideUus,
which is just as bad for the sex in the other
direction So there must be line some
where, by following which miss or a
maiden may appear at her best, dress in a
manner suitable to the occasion and not
shock any of the proprieties. Now. SIM
plicity is great thing to look out for be-
cause those bothersome things called the
unities'' have to be regarded, and to be con-
sistent one does not want to go in the water,
even to paddle along the edge Of the beach,
with too great a weight of clothing on.

IN MEMORIAM.

At meeting of the Bar of Portage
County Bar, the committee reported
as follows;
In the death of VIM. B. Thomas, we
have lost a generous, active and noble
friend, wise, charitable and kind
brother. whose diligence and industry
knew no bounds one i'm whose labOrs
and genius it was ours to feel that re-
spect and pride due from one brother
of our learned profession to another,
for his well and hOnorably earned
laurels at the Bar. By his char liable,
and quiet disposition he
formed acquaintances to multiply
friends. All who associated with him
in the daily walks of life, as neighbor,
or at the bar, were pleased 10
hold him in high regard, and while we
acknowledge it would be more than
human to be without fault, yet the
faults of our departed brother were few
his excellencies many. In the promise
of life, in the strength and glory of
among us never to return. His life's
labor, when it seemed but fairly com
menced, is done. Let us remember
him aflectionately and strive to emu
late his finer qualities. Let our re-
spect for him and our sorrow for his
loss be not only impressed Oh our
hearts but let the same be recorded
here ss a lasting evidence of our esteem
and regard for him. Therefore:
Resolved, That as lasting expression
of our admiration and love, not only
AS individual members of, but also as
the Bar of Portage County, for our de.
parted brother, that the Common Pleas
Court of said County be requested to
place these minutes upon the records
of the Court.
ResGEVPf, That said Court be asked to
give opportunity on the goth day of
Septembe instant, at l o'clock p. M,
for further expressions of members of
the bar of their respect for our brother
so suddenly removed from our midst.
ResOlred, That we deeply sympathiZe
with the family and dear ones of our
departed brother in their sad bereave-
ment
ResOlUed, That a copy of these min
utes BE- furnished to the widow and
children of our departed friend and
brother, and also copy to each of the
County papers fof publication.

Death of an Old Printer.

For the Democratic Press:
FRIEND HARRIS: L have just re-
turned from conducting the funeral
services of Mr.. VIM. Harsha, 3n old
resident of Rsvenna. He will be re-
membered AS a pioneer printer there,
in the office of the Western Courier,
more than 60 years ago. Mr.. John
Harmon. who learned the printing
business of Mr.. Harsha in Rsvenna at
that time, was one of his pail bearers
Mr. Harsha came to Detroit in 1885,
and established the first job printing
office in Michigan. He died Septem-
ber 29rd, near his S0th birthday, at the
residence of his son, Walter Harsha,
who is the efficient young Clerk of the

a EIme ENhihiIiOn.

The parade of MambrinO Mohawk
and his family of peerless sons aud
daughters, ou Thursday, the third day
of the Fair, elected the admiration Of
all admirers of equine perfection, and
was one the chief attractions of the
Fair on that day. 1t is difficult to i'm
agine a horse nearer perfection than
MamhriDo Mohawk. Many pronOunc-
ed him the peer of his half brother,
Mambrino King, the handsomest horse
in the world. Whenever he appeared
on the grounds the crowd received
him with cheers, and he was well
worthy of the praise bestowed upon
him. A beautiful black, perfect pro-
portions, magnificent bearing, yet do
cile and kind, he won friends on every
hand. One characteristic, his extreme
gentleness, was remarked by all who
saw him, combined with his other
good qualities, especially recommends
him to the public. 1t will be remem'
bered that one year ago he was driven
by ladies over the grounds with per-
feet safety and that children approach,
ed and caressed him with an equal
freedom from danger. He has lost
none of his good nature, trait to be
desired above all other in stations.
The personale of the dist inguished
group was follows:
Mambrino Mohawk,
Prince, 10 weeks old, owned by &.
B. Chapman, Edinburg, awarded LIST
premium, colt, 3 mos. old, owned by
A. Bishop, mos, old colts, owned by
N. Terry, H. A Deming, and e. Blair,
stallion, yr. old, G. d. Rogers, mare
colt, 3 mos old, o. S. Buzzell, DANDY
Black" year old, e. f. Converse.
The last mentioned colt is chip of
the old block, and in time will make
one of the finest horses in the county.
The same good qualities possessed
by Mambrino Mohawk characterize
his offspring, not vicious animal be-
ing found among the lot.
The liberal patronage already given
this horse evidences in what estima-
ton he is held by the people. The
advantage. IF having one of the finest
horses in the State in this section, for
breeding purposes, cannot be over
estimated. He will be appreciated
more as the people see him and the
colts sired by him.
Mr.. Andrews may well take pride
in the ownership of this splendid
animal.

In the Wild Waves.

They had been at Ocean Grove for
three or four days-a queer old couple
from way back in Jersey. Both seemed
to take lively interest in the bathers,
and on two or three occasions thsy went
down on the beach and felt of the water.
At length the old man seemed to make
up his mind to desperate undertaking.
He left her sitting in a pavilion and
went off and got into bathing suit. 1t
showed off his bow-back, thin legs, and
knock-knees in wonderful way, but
! he ambIed down on the sands, waved
his hand to the old woman, and made
a Jump into a comber. He was lost
sight of for moment as he rolled over
and over and half-buried in the sands,
but he finally crawled out on hands and
knees, rose up and kicked vigorously,
and was picking" for the bath-house
when his wife intercepted him and in
quired;
samuel, are you hurt much?"
''Hurt? Nor' he roared rs he kept
splitting out the brine; but would you
believed the burned thing is salt waterr'
He went his way to get out of the
"duds," and he never donned them
again. Free Press.
