The train left the depot at O'Clock, and
at 2:3O the gay party was placed on
board the City of st. Louis. During
the trip about the lake the principal
points OF interest were visited. Several
OF the delegates found pack of cards
and box of matches in the cabin, and
in less time than it takes to tell it a neat
little game of poker was in progress.
The game ended when one man held
straight flush against against four aces,
king full and four trays. The dele
gates were treated to hotly
contested yacht race and 9th

at the Lake Park hotel, where delight
fui banquet was held. After the supper
there was a pleasant dance, which lasted
until IL O'Clock, when the train returned
to the city. All in all, the trip was
very pleasant one, and nothing was left
undone on the part of the management.
Among the guests were about 100 ladies.

How the Prisoners Will Be EN-
b. ployed After Sept. 4.

The state prison inspectors have
finally come to conclusion regarding
the employment of convict labor. which
will prevent further trouble in that
direction until after the next legisla-
lure meets, and some needed action can
be taken in the matter by that BODY,
Under the act of two years ago the
present contract system is terminated
on Sept. l next, and the inspectors
found themselves with the serious cues
ton staring them in the face of how to
provide for the health, safety and Sc
-curity OF $50 unemployed criminals.
THE act referred to appropriates $25, 600
for the purpose of furnishing means
for their employment. Of this sum the
to $4,000 in the purchase of machinery,
the other being expended in the purchase
of material. The sash, door and blind
factory soon to be vacated by the
thresher company, will be refitted with
the necessary machinery for the con-
tinuance of that branch of business.
The necessary machinery will also be
secured to tit up the ''bolt makingn de-
partment, which business will also be
continued. The foundry will he run as
usual, window weights and other articles
being cast. Such other of the shops
soon to be vacated by the thresher com
pany as can be operated in practical
way will be run, and it is thought that
all but about $50 of the convicts can be
thus employed by the state in manufact-
uring such articles as can be readily
disposed of. The remaining unem-
ployed will be utilized in completing
the grading and wall of the prison yard.
The machinery now in use by the
thresher company belonging to the state
be left In place by that concern when it

LOCAL SENTIMENT.
Everybody Pleased and Many FIX
uberant Over the Ticket 81

1t begins to look as though Hennepin
county has just found out how much it
loves Eugene Wilson. Since he last ran
for public Office the county has quad
rupled its population, and many of the
now prominent workers know Wilson
politically only by tradition. But yes
terday the mouth of every Democrat
was filled with his praises as they told
how strong he was with every element:
what mascot he was in law as in
politics, and how he would run like a
deer in every county in the state. The
Hennepin delegation returned from ST.
Paul in a happy frame of mind, and
after the gloom of the preceding even
ing the feeling was contagious.

SOME STARTLING TESTS
OF Fire-Fighting Apprenticeship
Delegates Take in the Lake.

There was no business session of the
fire engineers convention yesterday
morning. Instead there were tests of
some of the apparatus on exhibition.
The tests were announced to take place
at O'Clock, and long before that hour
the hotel and the adjacent streets were
packed with delegates, local firemen
and spectators. About 10 O'Clock three
of the Minneapolis department engines
put in ali appearance. accompanied by
a new Ariel truck and small Watrous
fire engine, manufactured in st. Paul.
The first tests were with some of the
new extension ladders on exhibition.
The second test was the one which at
tracted the most attention. 1t was
jump for life, and good one it was.
too. At 1920 o'clock one of the agents
for patent life-saving net appeared in
a third-story window of the hotel and
announced that he was going to jump
down into the net. The net was held
by twelve Minneapolis tiremen. When all
was ready the tiremen took tighter
hold, and down through the ali came
the agent. The vast audience held its
breath until he landed safe and sound
in the net. having jumped from a height
of fifty feet. Cheer after cheer arose as
he stood up and bowed to the spectators.
The Ariel truck was next brought into
use, and while the top of the ladder was
about 100 feet in the air several firemen
mounted the swaying structure and were
landed safely at the hotel windows.
The engines were now fred up
and the throwing of Water began. The
new Deluge pipe was tested, and
proved what the owners claimed
for it, that it can carry
stream sufficient to knock any fire
ever started into 'smithereegs."
The little Watrous engine was fired up
ard did some excellent work. This
concluded the tests, and all the engi-
::cers present expressed themselves as
well Pleased with the result.
OFF TO THE LAKE.
At 80 p. Ii. the delegates and their
wires. with 4 number of invited guests,
assembled at the West and from there
were taken i'll hacks to the st. Louis
depot, where special train was in
