IN NEW ENGLAND STYLE.
Church of the Redeemer Ladies'
Make 1t Pleasant for Their
Friends

Cnurch OF the Redeemer Ladies
Make 1t Pleasant for Their
Friends.
The ladies of the Social circle of the
Church of the Redeemer met with an
unexpected success at their New En-
gland dinner. given in the store rooms
next TO the Grand opera house yester-
day. The attendance was very large at
dinner and in the evening. The an
nouncement of the good old New En-
gland dinner was all that was needed,
and the business men as we'll as great
number of society people filled the spa
ciOuS rooms. The menu was excellent,
having been carefully prepared for the
occasion by the ladies'. Among the
many good things that go TO t1atter
the palate that was served in very az
tiStic style, was turkey, cranberry sauce,
roast beef, boiled dinner, baked beans,
cider, apple sauce, and pumpkin, mince
and apple pie. At the & o'clock dinner
cold meats and chicken pie were added
TO the list. The menu cards were very
beautiful: the covers We're painted by
the young ladies and had various de-
signs and representations. The after
noon was pleasantly enjoyed on the
second floor, which is neatly fitted
up with candy booths and stands
containing fancy articles. Among
those present and entertaining the
guests were Rev. J. H. futile, pastor of
the church, and Rev. NJ. ID. Shutter. the
assistant pastor, and wife. The articles
at the various stands were all made by
the ladies of the society, and the money
realized from the entire entertainment
will go towards the fund that is being
raised to furnish the church after it is
rebuilt. The programme of the even
ing, which was quite extensive. was
most successfully performed by the DIFF
ferent performers, who had volunteered
their services in the cause. The sing
ing by the quartette, by the University
Glee club and the reading of Mrs. f. r.
Fuller, entitled The Legend of Van
Bibber's Rock" were specially worthy
of mention, as we'll as the solo, 'Di
Tanti Palpiti," by Miss Lucy Williams.
Miss Ida Geelmuyder and W. H. Heath
took very active part in making the
event success by taking leading parts
in the exercises. To-day will be the
last, and an elegant dinner, with the
same bill of fare as yesterday, will be
served: also a dinner at o'clock. In
the evening very interesting pro-
gramme will be carried out. Several of
the noted local talent will appear,
among them the Stoddard quartette,
which is composed of four fine lady
singers, Mrs. |. j. Convey, Mrs. A. d.
Laird, Mrs. Weed Munro and Mrs. NJ.
A. PaulSOn. Miss Lillian StOddard and
Miss Lille Hammond will also appear
The attendance to-day and this evening
is expected to be exceedingly large, as
the church society has recently met
with a great loss bV fire.

A NIGHT OF CONCERT.

Last night was remarkable for the
number of musical entertainments of an
excellent nature that took place all
over the city, and pleasant feature
was the good attendance at all of them.
Nothing this season has called forth
such an audience as graced Dyer's hall
to hear Miss StOddard; and Carl Lach-
mund must have been fiattered by the
attendance which greeted him and his
company on the southeast side of the
city. Appended is full account of
these charming events:
Dyer'S music hall was filled to its full
capacity with cultured and apprecia-
tive audience, the occasion being the
first recital given by Miss Lillian G.
Stoddard and II. j. Proctor, pianist. IT
was the intention to have given this
concert on the evening of Feb. 1, but
owing to the severe indispOsltiOn of
Miss Stoddard this could not be.
Last night, however, demonstrated one
thing and that was the great
esteem in which this artist is held and
the evident pleasure of everybody to see
her once again restored to strength and
work. All those advertised to appear
were present except III. S. Woodruff,
who was unavoidably absent. Mrs.
in very acceptable manner. The pro-
gramme included selections from
Meyerbeer, Beethoven, Fesca, Lassen.
Raft, Bach and GOunOd, and each num-
Der was received with renewed applause.
At the FIRST Congregational church, in
Southeast Minneapolis, concert was
given last night on quite large scale.
Carl V. Lachmund directed, and his
band of juvenile musicians played sew
eral pieces in their careful and attract
i've manner. These little people have
become very popular. 1t is mistake
to suppose there is any money back of
these performances, because it is not
the case. Each of the children
ton was got together just to amnse and
instruct some of Carl Lachmund's pu-
pills: from that slight beginning arose
the present splendid orchestra. Beside
the band there also took part Miss
Mabel Chase and Miss Ella Mitchell
sang soprano solos. The Metzeloth
quartette, consisting of MeSsrs. j. E.
Richardson, II. A. Stuart, J. NJ. Robin
son and E. p. LOye, gave
two pretty pieces. Prof. S.
G. Gilbert and Miss GusSie Shryock
played piano solos, while the concert
came to an end by piano duo from
Profs. Lachmund and Baldamos. Alto
gether it was an affair that will be
pleasantly remembered by all present.
Miss Catherine Colby gave musical
at her home last night. 1t was in the
nature of private affair, but very sue
cesSful.
Maben's hall, corner Fifth avenue
north and James avenue, was the scene
of another entertainment, musical and
otherwise. Jennie Potter gave some of
her best readings, and was enthusiastic
cally received. The proceeds are to
help defray the expenses of opening the
hall for free entertainments.

Percy Weadon relates an anecdote told
him by Archie Mackenzie. a we'll
known agent, in regard to THE Golden
Giant Nine" Mackenzie was the agent
of Minnie Palmer some years ago, and
Clay Green, the author of 1.-THE Golden
Giant, was travelling with the company
and writing this play. Mackenzie, who
has rather rakish mustacheS and large
diamond, is an ideal looking gambler
and Greene made the remark that he
was sketching him in the play and that
he would be able to recognize himself
when the play was produced. When
the Golden Giant" was produced in
New York all the "gang" went after
Archie and dragged him into the Fifth
Avenue theater-and Archie says the
actor playing the part of the gambler
had make up" on that resembled him
completely. He then tackled the
author, who was standing in the lob
bles, and, pointing to the 'make up"
of the actor, exclaimed: "Well, you've
done it," II thought you would recog
nize the picture, my boy" SAID Greene,
and OF course everybody went out at
Archie'S expense. we

Street CHANGES.

The council committee on roads and
bridges at its meeting yesterday after
noon disposed of considerable routine
business, which included the instruc-
ton to the city engineer to prepare a
plat of an alley in the block bounded by
Third, Western and Aldrich avenues;
Talmage avenue sOutheasterly to the
eastern city limits was also ordered
opened; also Division street from Six
teenth avenue sOutheasterIy to the
eastern city limits. On the advice of
the city attorney the committee agreed
to recommend that warrants be ordered
drawn for property owners along
Twenty-tlfth street south who were
damaged in the opening of that street
between Stewards and Morrison &
Lovejoy's additions. The court ordered
the street opened, and as the city failed
to file its objections before the ninety
days allowed in such cases, there is no
other alternative left than to comply
with the decision of the court. The
grading of Superior avenue was referred
to the aldermen OF the ward.

THE MILL SITUATION,
The Market Is Weak and the
Water Power Morse.

~ Wv w OFSc.
There was not much change in last
weeks operations by the mills, though
the water power averaged little better
and the flour output made small gain,
Says the Northwestern Miller. The
total product for the week was 118, 100
barrels-averaging 1868 barrels daily
against 114,000 barrels the week before
and 1918 barrels for the correspond
ing time in 1887. So far the current
week the water has not been so exo
tremely low as at some times in the
past, but ice is troubling seriously. The
freezing up of wheels is also causing
the loss of much time for the water
mills. There is one more mill on the
active list than week ago, another
having started up with water. This
leaves five mills wholly driven by
steam; three with water and steam
combined, and nine with water alone.
This morning, however, the water
mills were not getting along very well,
as several of these had their wheels
frozen and were standing idle tempo
rarily. The daily flour output probably
comes within range of of $4,000 to 20. 900
barrels. A small amount of flour has
been shipped to Duluth to be stored but
~ was hoG olouSH W CuI any inquire.
Local stocks have not been added to.
AS a rule, millerS report the flour mar
ket inactive and not very strong.
Buyers seem to have become fright
ened by recent standings, and are very
slow 10 make purchases. For few
days past. the export trade has been
rather better, prices offered being the
most satisfactory. An occasional firm
is found with large product which is
selling comparatively freely in the East.
The direct exports of flour fol the
week were $500 barrels, against 80, 100
barrels the preceding week.

president was quite short, but was pre-
else and to the point. She thanked
the union for the high esteem in which
it held her, in being capable
of presiding over such an organi-
cation that needed so much work
to be done in the near future and 10y
special efforts of its members. She also
stated that her whole heart would be
put in the good work for which she had
been elected to the high position of
president. The annual speech of the
vice president of the state followed the
acceptance. 1t was very interesting
and was listened to with great sincerity.
AT $50 short recess was taken, dur
ing which very interesting recitation
was rendered by one of the young
ladies. Subject: The Other Side"
Following this, the reports of the diff
ferent young peoples missionary Soci-
cites ami home bands of the various
Baptist churches in the city were read
by their respective representatives.
Among the most prosperous mentioned
was the Young Peoples Missionary
guards of the First Baptist church. This
is comparatively a young organization,
and has about as large and
ENTHUSIASTIC MEMBERSHIP
as any like society in the West. The
OBJECT of this society is to financially
nelp the Southern missionary schools.
1t holds regular monthly meetings and
discusses the various missionary sub
lectS. Mrs. Sunderland made a
lengthy address on the prosperous
work that had been going on
IN California, Utah and Mexico.
She stated that the government had
greatly aided the missionary workers in
their good cause among the MOrmons,
but that there still remained a great
deal TO be performed that could not be
carried out in a successful way without
the aid of the union. They have their
customs and ideas, and it is not with
pleasure they will submit to any other
religious doctrine until it has been
plainly shown by industrious work that
they are in the wrong. At the close of
these remarks, which had caused in
tense interest. Miss Mae Manton sang,
wv hat Shall | Do for the Master?" The
tone and expression which the young
lady put into the selected words fairly
captiVated the audience. The meeting
closed at 4:45 with the usual benedic-
ton. \ collection was taken up for the

The annual meeting of the Woman's
Baptist Home Mission union was held
at the Central Baptist church yesterday.
under the most pleasant auspices. The
attendance throughout the day was very
large and the interest manifested in
the missionary work was very enthusi-
asiically discussed by the most Sanguine
members of the society. The meeting
was called at 1890 o'clock with devO-
tional exercises. At ! a. m. the min

throughout the year for both home and

A Young Girl Who Tasted Life

Ada Dolin, a rather prepossessing
young girl of fifteen years, was yester-
day committed TO the House of the
Good Shepherd by Judge Mahoney, at
her mothers request. The girl was led
aStray some months ago. and from be-
coming a "chippy' she gradually
drifted into life of shame, finally be
coming an inmate of Del Barnum's
dance house at Ashland, Wis. Her
story of life in that place
does not accord entirely with some
of the sensational accounts that have
been circulated concerning the iniquitleS
and crueltieS practiced in that and sim
liar resorts at Ashland. She says her
clothes were taken from her, but that
she was not forced 10 remain there.
She was given board and lodging in re-
turn for her attendance At the dances,
but was not compelled TO receive the
attentions of men. although it was made
an object for her to do 50. She became
heartily disguised with the life and
was only too glad TO return home when
her mother found where she was. She
desires now to reclaim her good name.
and consented To 20 to the House of the
Good Shepherd of her own free Will.

A RECEIVER AT LAST
Is Appointed for Sackett q Wig
oiuS---A Roast by the Court.

A number of lawyers, who repre-
scented creditors of Sackett Il Virgins,
gathered in Judge Hicks court room
Yesterday TO hear the final argument in
the petition for the appointment of a
receiver for the firm of Sackett x Wig
gins. George II. Fletcher, of Torrance
IL Fletcher. attempted to introduce
third petition. the result OF the meeting
of the creditors last Saturday.
1t was claimed that this petit
lion represented $4,000 worth
of claims, but it was ruled out of the
ease by the court. As an argument for
hurrying the appointment of receiver.
Musce." at st. Paul. had been disposed
of. and there was danger of the
.'musee" in this city passing out of the
hands of the firm, under the mortgage
held by the Peoples bank. 1t was also
stated that. unless 5000 was raised at
once. the firm would forfeit its lease
of the Hennepin Avenue theater.
The attorney for the defendants claimed
that the plaintiffs had not been able to
show a single legitimate claim against
the firm of Sackett X Virgins. The
court said ne thought the petitioners
had been rather lax in presenting their
clallllS Ill court. dliu IL titl lldu luI-
nisned the court with as much infOrma-
ton as they had the newspapers the
matter would have probably been set
tied some time ago. 1t was admitted
that the court was in error in permit
ting the supplemental petition to be III
troduced at the hearing last week, and
if the court was allowed to use
apv discretion in the matter the
petition would not be granted, but,
under the law. the court was forced to
appoint receiver, as the firm of Sackett
IL Virgins had been proved insOlvent.
The court then named Verdine Trues-
dell. the wood and coal dealer, as the
receiver, and fixed his bonds at $4,000.
Mr.. Hunt. attorney for Sackett q Wig
gins. gave notice that he would take an
appeal. The appointment of Truesdell,
a the receiver, was a surprise to most
of the attorneys, several of whom
made objections to his appointment.
