A CHANGE OF BASE.
The Press Club Considering a New
Plan.

l~IaH.
In all probability the Minneapolis
Press club will make change of base,
and while preserving its organization,
will abandon its quarters. The number
of pencil pushers in the city has
doubled in the past three years, but,
though the members of the craft were
never taxed with lack Of brains, they
lucre. The rooms in the Window block
are fitted up with luxurious taste I'M
known outside of voluptuOus
dreams of the Orient, but for
the most part they, blush
unseen and unused. The index
fingers of the gas meter have lost their
power through inactivity and only the
energy of the janitOr keeps cObwebS
from the Keyboard of the piano and the
cloth of the billiard table. But while
these gorgeous appointments go unen-
loyed, the expense runs on and the dues
come not in, SO the club is constantly
wrestling with debt of which it cannot
lift one end. With each recurring year
Il benefit comes to its relief, and the
treasurer finds occupation diSburSing it,
and then the old trouble returns.
Under the circumstances, the club
will probably make an effort to pay its
Indebtedness and then give up its
rooms, without abandoning its Organiza-
ton. At the annual meeting of each
year a banquet will probably fol-
low the election, and as many as
Seventy-tive newspaper men get
to forget professional rivalry in the dis
cussion of the feast. This was all talked
over last night, and will be considered
at a special meeting to be held next
Tuesday afternoon. In the meantime a
benefit is being worked up with the
hope of paying off the debt and facing
the world without ShackleS.

HAS HE A DOUBLE?
Geismardo, the Medical Beat, in
Trouble, Again

Trouble Again.
DR.. GeiSmardO. the magnetic healer,
whose domestic droubles were aired in
the GLOBE some moths ago, when the
''doctOr" was in the city, Is in trouble
in Milwaukee. He has threatened to
sue Der Herold. a German morning
paper, for $1,000 for publishing false
and malicious statements in regard to
him. According to the Milwaukee
Sentinel the HerOld contained what
was termed an expose of his career,
comprising chiefly clippings from a
German paper published at Portland,
Or, making number of serious
charges. The articles recited that DIR.
GeismardO had been sent to the Oregon
penitentiary for committing criminal
assault on a woman named Smith,
who had visited his office for treatment,
but that after six months he was par
doned by the governor upon condition
of his leaving the state, the prisoner
working the sympathy dodge by feign-
ing Illness Then the articles go on to
say that he was robbed by a clever ad-
ventures while in prison, the woman
gaining his confidence and prevailing
Oh him to entrust his money and jewelry
to her; that he tried to commit suicide,
and various other things of like ma
ture.
Geismardo, in explaining the Oregon
penitentiary story, says that the man
who was sent to the penitentiary was
named Bryant, and adopted the name
GeiSmardO to screen himself,

NO FLOUR TRUST.
A Rumor to That Effect Exploded
BY u Miller.

oy IL
A rumor gained considerable credence
here and in st. Paul yesterday that a
flour trust had been organized by the
millerS of Minneapolis with view of
keeping up prices. 1t was positively
denied, however, by prominent miller
hast night.
The millerS have no organization of
any kind" said he, land have had none
since the old millerS' association was
abandoned. They do not even unite on
a wheat price now. Occasionally they
meet To discuss the water power, or
wheat, or railroad rates, but they
have no regular organization. John
Crosby was always opposed to any pool
on prices or any agreement to restrict
production, and Charlie Pillsbury would
never stick. either. The National aSSo-
citation has talked the matter over, but
nothing definite was ever accomplished.
The Colorado milIerS have an OrganiZa-
ton which includes every mill in the
state and there is an organization on
the Pacific slope. but that is all. Mill
erS are looking for the best year in the
business and there is no occasion for
any pooling OF trusts Just now"
rs there any joint wheat buying?'
mo; the mills buy as they choose or
may want it. If mill does not want to
be known man is sent on change to
do the buying, or out in the country. A
short time ago one of the mills was
stuck $4,000 OF 50, 900 by buying too much
on declining market, but they pocketed
the loss and said nothing"
On afterthOught, he said:
1.-The National association talked over
the credit system entirely. There have
been great many losses, and the only
information millers could get was
through the commercial agencies. The
discussion was of a system by which
reports could be made"

need very badly. They care

of some of the leading Episcopalians
of the Twin Cities, and finally agreed
that Hon. Gordon E. Cole, of Faribault,

him. Mrs. Breed in spirited manner
promised To start early TODAY and coo
what she could do to move the heart of
the great free trader'' to make a free
trade toward the Sheltering Arms. The
money can of course be raised easily
enough from public money lender, but
they always require bond in dealing

ladies are anxious to raise the money in
private manner if possible. They are
sanguine of the future prosperity of the

BALDWIN RESIGNS.

The President OF the Fourth Ma
tiOnal Bank Of New York Re-
Misrepresentation as to the
Cause.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The retirement
OF G. ID. Baldwin from the presidency of
the Fourth National bank occasions
some surprise. This is the bank that
cashed Jay Gould's check for "a ZOO, 900,
said to be the largest ever cashed in
in an interview with World reporter
last night, said: ''It Is a matter of
public notOriety that at the recent ex-
animation in December the re-
serve fund of the Fourth Ma
tiOnal was found to be below the mini
mum allowed by the law. This fact
was widely published in the regular
bank statement, but OccasiOned no re-
mark, for L often find half the banks of
the country in the same condition. The
state of affairs is analogous to that of a
thoroughly solvent depositor who hap
pens to Overdraw his account. The
banks are notified that the reserve must
be made good within thirty days and
the money is usually in the vault in a
much shorter time. This bank is one
tropOlis, and | was so confident that the
minimum reserve would be at once re-
established that no notice was
served. The reserve was made good
almost Immediately. There is abso-
lutely no truth in the story that the re-
ports of loans, discounts and reserves
have not been properly made. So far as
l know there is not criticism to be
made upon the business methods pur-
sued by the officers of the bank, or upon
its sound financial condition." Mr..
Baldwin'S name has been prominently
mentioned in connection with the va
cancy occasioned by the resignation of
Assistant Treasurer Canda. Vice Pres
ident Bliss publishes card in which he
says: "a most rigid examination of
the bank has recently been completed.
proving that never since it's Organiza-
ton in 1868 has it been in a stronger po-
Sition than it now is; and this excellent
showing of the institution is owing in
large measure to the ability and devoted
services of Mr.. Baldwin. The directors
regret that he is obliged to withdraw
under existing circumstances, with i'm
paired health, and he will, l am conf
dent, have the personal sympathy of all
who know him. / regret the indiscre-
ton, but do not hesitate to say that
still have the most implicit confidence
in his integrity" A rumor was afioat
last night that Mr.. Baldwin had gone to
Bermuda. but this was soon proven I'M
true, as he was called on yesterday by a
majority of the directors of the bank,
who desired to assure him of their con-
fdence and respect

AGAIN THE CAT.
Organized Labor and the City En-
gineer at 1t Again.

The new ordinance offered by Aid.
Kerr, which gives the committee on
sewers the control of this branch of the
work of the city engineers department,
including the appointment of an assist
ant, and the employment of workmen,
is likely 10 be considered at the special
meeting of the council Friday after
noon, called for the consideration of
the building ordinance, provided, of
course. that the city attorney reports
upon it. 1t is understood that the city
attorney has already indicated that he
considers the sewer ordinance in its
present form as invalid, as it interferes
with certain rights vested in the CITY
engineer by the charter. Engineer
Rinker is determined in his opposition,
saying that he does not want to have an
assistant appointed who will be hostile
to him. 1t is clear that he considers the
ordinance simply plan of organized
labor to prevent the hiring of non-union
men on the sewers. He also makes the
point that he will be held responsible in
public estimation for the performance
of the work, whereas if the ordinance is
adopted his hands will be tied.
Aid. Kerr on the other hand states
that the ordinance cOntemplateS nothing
inconsistent with the charter. The
committee on sewers is simply figure
head as it is now and the work is car
ried on by the city engineer independ-
ent of the committee,
