Death From Pneumonia.

c. Bepner. farmer living near Medi-
cine lake, yesterday brought a young
boy into the city who was in a delirious
condition. 1t appears that the lads
had purchased lot at the lake and was
building a home there. The two
went there about four days ago
and were living in shanty. Saturday
the father died from pneumonia, and
the son became deliriousnfrom grief.
Coroner Spring went to Medicine lake
last evening and examined the.remains.
1t is likely no inquest will be held, as
death was evidently from natural
causes. All that is known of the de-
cased is that he has wife at Cheyenne,
Wyoming, and daughter at Silver
Lake, near Glencoe, this state. The son
was sent to the city hospital.

KEEPERS CLOSE CALL.
How Near a Sick Man Came tt
Being Cremated at Recen1

How Near Sick Man Came to
Being Cremated at Recent
Fire.
There was an incident at the burning
of the Carr house, on the corner of Hen
nepin avenue and Seventh street, some
days ago, which, while decidedly inter-
esting for at least one man, was not
made much of in the reports of
the fire which appeared in the
various papers at the time. In
room in the third story at the time of
the fire was Emil Keeper. the manager
of Dickinson'S bazaar, on NicOllet ave-
nue.. Some days previous Mr.. Keeper
had fallen on the ice and broken one of
his legs. In the general excitement in
cident to the fire, Keeper was forgotten
by the other boarders, and they all
rushed out, leaving him helpless in bed
with his leg in plaster paris mould.
Mr.. Dickinson happened to be down
town that evening when the fire broke
out,and thinking at once of Keeper when
he heard where the fire was, jumped
into a hack and dashed up to the burn
ing house. Finding that Keeper was
still in the building, he rushed in with
other men and carried the injured man
out. The roof fell in, covering the bed
Keeper had been lying in, not two min
utes after the rescue had been made.
AS it was Keeper lost his entire ward
robe and diamond ring valued at $500.
Keeper had black hair once, but since
that night traces of gray can be seen.
Prof Stempf's Benefit.
The testimonial benefit rendered Prof.
M. R. Stempf last evening by the Har-
monia society, at the hall on the corner
of Twentieth avenue and Third street,
was success financially. The hall
was comfortably filled with members
and friends of the society. The musical
programme was excellent, and was exc
cuted by number of prominent
musicians. The violin solo by
Prof. Frank DAM was specially
worthy of mention, and was
repeatedly encored by the appreciative
gathering. Barber of Seville," by
Rossini, was rendered by Danz's band
in very creditable manner, as well as
was my Native Place" by the mixed
chorus. The string quartette rendered
upon the Sea" in style that fairly
captivated the music-lOving audience.
The entertainment concluded with
social dance. Taking everything into
consideration, it was grand success.

Fhcy Prefer Not To Marry.
IbtE,I,I,,l,f, pF,..r


Ia almost all the recent attempts to OK
plain tho unpoPularity of marriage it
seems to have been taken for granted
that women's feeling with regard to it
are uniform. 1t is certainly hot true,
however, that all women are waiting with
"bated breath and Whispering humble
ness" for au advantageous offer Of mar
riage. The feelings of women are
changing, and the old ideas IA 20 women
and their social functions can no longer
be taken for granted. Woman il now
n worker and thinker, and marriage for
educated women is only one of many pos
sibie occupations; and educated women
may be excused if they reguard it the
least desirable of them. woman who
becomes n teacher, who enters one of the
professions, or takes a commercial posi-
tion lives life of dignity and freedom.
In politics, in lIteratuIe, in science, III
art, and i'll social intercourse she has a
thousand opportunities of distinction
and pleasure which would BE denied her
if she became mother. She is not at
the mercy of a mans moods and humors
She il not nurse and drudge, but Tor
all praticRl purpOsos--a man and CItizon.
She mixes freely with mon; she prOlits
by hsir conversation; she Joins hem IN
their enjoyment, and she co operates with
them in their social duties. Her lifs is
life of freedom, variety and resources.
Her character becomes strengthened by
the demands upon her; her intellect Is
enlarged by the problems she is called
upon to solve; and as new and moro i'm
portant duties devolve upon her sho is
qualified to accept them with skill. In n
word, the educatsd women of TO day pre-
fer freedom and tho friendship Of men to
the practical slavery of the marriage
bond, and i'll proportion as other careers
are opened up to them it may be safely
said that the attractions of marriage will
still further decrease.

Roscoe Conkline'S Experience in the Great
Snow Storm in New York City.

Said Roscoe CoDkling: II have a fair
constitution and have been in some pret-
ty tight places; but have never found my
self SO far gone physically as on Monday
night in Union Square" lie continued:
Il had been at the Stewart building in
the afternoon and had some work to do IL
my office, and, not thinking that the city
would be dark at night, l went to Wall
street to look after the work. 4 little
after o'clock l wanted to go home.
There was not a carriage of any kind to
be had. Once during the day l had de-
clined an offer to ride uptown in
crrriage because the man wanted $50 and
l started up Broadway on ny pins. 1t
was dark, and it was useless to try to pick
out path, so l went alCng, shouldering
through drifts and beaded for the north.
I was pretty well exhausted when 1 got to
Union Square, and, wiping the snow from
my eyes, tried to make out the trIangles.
But it was impossible. There was no
light, and plunged right through on as
straight line as l could determine upon.
Sometimes l have run across passages IN
novels of great adventures in SNOW storms,
for example in stories of Russian life,
where theCo would be q vivid description
of a mans struggles on 8 snow swept and
windy plain; but l have always considered
the presentation an exaggeratlon. | shall
never say so again, for after what en-
couutersd IN last nights blizzard can be-
ieve that the strongest description would
fail TO approximate the truth. I had got
to the middle of the park and was up to
my arms in drift. l pulled the ice and
snow from my eyes and held my hands
up there till everything was melted off so
that l might see, but it was too dark and
the snow too binding. l came as near
giving up and sinking down there to die
as 8 man can and not do it. After TWEEN
ty minutes or so got out somehow and
made my way along to the New York Club,

THE POOR EISHEBMEN,

The mails are now gorged with fat,
chunky letters addressed to newspaper
men and Others in opposition to the nsh-
cries treaty. These are printed and sent
ont bv the poor oppressed fishermen.
Just as likely as any way The wicked
democrats will be limiting that these vol
luminous documents are printed and cir
culated by the Thurlows and Wood
burvs. a New York and a Boston trCst
that has monopolized the fish mar
ket of this country for years,
and made every man, woman and child IN
America pay tribute to the trust or go with
out fish. But it is all wicked democratic
lie. The fish trust had nothing to do
with these voluminOus documents. The
trust is as innocent and coniaing as
little lamb. The thousands of dollars
necess ry to print and circulate all ever
the country, postage paid, all these anti
treaty documents came out of the peck
cts of the fishermen, who hire out to this
trust for the season at about
six dollars a week. These fishermen
who reside chiefly il Canada and Italy
and come annually to Boston and hire out
for the season are immensely, intensely
hugely, yociferously and spontaneously
interested in the price people pay for
fish. ANY body can see that. They have
bags and bags of money to, anG would
as soon pay it out to print pamphlets ad-
vocating tho monopoly tariff on fish
as 10 give it TO any other equally
deserving charity. The Two pam
phlets that lie on the editorial Ia
BILE now, contain carefully clipped ex-
cerpts from every republican newspaper
in the United States that has yet said q
word against the fisheries treaty. Of |
course the Boston fish trust had no way |
Of getting hold of all these party organs, |
and no money TO pay for carefully com
piIing and printing their blasts against |
the fishery treaty. Then everybody knows |
that all the coast fishermen take all the |
party organs in the country and all have |
plenty of time and money for clipping
and reprinting all these opinions oposing
the treaty.
Still another point. These poor fisher
men, who printed aud circulated all these
documents, strongly favor tonnage tax
on every Canadian car coming into the |
United States in order to make Canada |

fore Shakespeare was born. On the walls
of a great tea store in Courtlard sire ct,
which has branches in Hong Kong and
Shanghai, hang series of Japanese pic
tures Illustrating the seven picturesqe
periods of mans existance. The mater
lal used is mating, not canvas, and great
ingenuity IS displayed in the execution of
the tahlaux. The Iufant, of course, fig
ures in the first picture. The next shows
the boy admitted to university. In the
third he stands up for betrothal. In the
fourth he is a soldier. In the fifth, much
older, he is mandarin. In the sixth he
is a dotard, dying. In the seventh he is a
wrath wasted away in the wind.

IN GENERAL.



Excepting the engineer, con4uctor aud
trainmen, few people have any idea of
vexation and annoyance which those in
charge of train, passenger or freight,
are compelled TO submit TO on account of
tramps. A prominent official of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, in talking about the matter,
says that fully $4,000 of these worthless
characters are all the time pIodding along
the railroads of the country. They are
constant menace to the safety of travel
ers, as well as the properties of the com
pauies, Some of them do not hesitate to
turn switches if they can fine them IN
locked, and many accidents, were the
truth known, would be charged up TO
them. They fire bridges, depots Or
fences, and not only stee, from cars, but
make away with heavy lots of iron. One
of their fagorite practices is to steal hand
cars TO helH them aiUrg in their journey.
