A CHARITY RECEPTION.

The social event of this week is the
reception to be given at the West hotel
next Thursday evening, Feb. II, st.
Valentines day, by the board of man
ayers of the Sheltering Arms home for
orphan and destitute children. The
hotel and service have been generously
given by Col. Shepard, and no pains are
being spared in the preparations to
make the occasion one long to be remem-
bered. Guests are invited for 7:30 and
will be received in the parlors by the
Right Rev. Bishop and Mrs. Gilbert,
Gov. and Mrs. Merriam and the clergy
and lalty of the two cities, and the board
of managers. The ladies' ordinary will
be set apart for dancing. which will
commence at $50, and be under the eff
cient management of the following gen
tlemen as the floor committee: MesSrS.
C. r. Gordon. w. w. Price and w. FL.
Lightner, of st. Paul, and Messrs. G. S.
Langdon. J. r. Vanderlip and w. III.
Peckham, of this city. The mention of
these names as the floor committee will
give the assurance of enjoyable affair.
There will be.a recess in the dancing
programme, when there will be vocal
numbers from the following we'll known
and popular artists: Miss May, Miss
Mckay, Mr.. Merrill. of ST. Paul, and
Mr.. Ferguson, lately of Chicago, and
on the staff of the Conservatory of
Music. The sale of tickets has been so
large that the financial as well as the
social success of the event is assured.
The proceeds are to be applied to liqui-
date the mortgage debt embarrassing
the institution for some time and inn
pairing its usefulness. The home is
clothing and caring for thirty needy
children, who otherwise would be waits
in the great sea of human life in this
city. No institution of the kind is doing
better work or more deserving Of the
support of the good and true; and that
the home is always full to its utmost
capacity IS the best evidence that there
is place for it in the community. and
that it is discharging useful and low
ing mission.

VITAL STATISTICS.
Births and Deaths of Year.
Death Rate, IL. 16.

Minneapolis has always boosted the
extreme wholesomeness of the city as
a place OF residence. In the years gone
by, when the exact population was OBJ
talnable, the death rate was as low as
ten OF eleven in a thousand, record
that could scarcely be equaled by any
city in the world. This year, on basis
of $4,000 population, which is certainly
too large, the death rate is figured at
1916, which does not speak iatteringly
for the health-giying OF life-prolonging
qualities of the city; but it must oe
remembered the city is growing past
all efforts to keep pace with public i'm
provements, especially sewers, and that
under the circumstances and consider
ing the water supply, the rate is won-
derfully low. But for the active and
untiring efforts of the present efficient
health board, the rate must have been
much higher. The vital statistics, as
far as obtainable last night, are as
follows:
The number of deaths for the year,
reported by months, is as follows: Jan
uary, 900: February, 254; March, 2S3:
April, 24s; May, 265; June, 20l; July.
262; August, 295; September. 237; Oc
tober, 240; November, 1S4; December,
ITO. Total, 1859. On all estimate of
the population of Minneapolis being
235. 600, the death rate is 1916, the same
as in 1887.
The number of births for the year re-
ported is 4, 1872.

COURT BRIEFS.
Various New Cases---The Meader
Argument To-Day.


The last of the evidence in the injunc-
ton case of the ST. Anthony Water
Power company against the city was in
troduced yesterday, and the case will
be argued on the first Monday i'll Febru-
airy.
Matte st. Clair, keeper of one the
houses of ili-fame on South First street,
was arraigned yesterday, and pleaded
not guilty to an Indictment charging
her with selling liquor withouta license.
Her case was for trial Jan. 10, and she
was allowed to give bail i'll the sum OF
$500.
The total number of marriage licenses
issued by the clerk of the court for the
past year is 1889.
The last witness for the defense in
the Meader case was examined late yes
terday afternoon. and at the conclusion
of the testimony counsel for both sides
announced that they were ready to sum
ND the case. Judge Lochren concluded
that he would allow them to begin the
new year by closing up this lOng-wind-
ed case, and so adjourned the court
until 10 o'clock ills morning.
John ?. Hoy has made application to
the district court for the state bounty Of

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.
A Provision Of the Law That Has
Been Overlooked.

The newly elected city officials may
find themselves in an unpleasant di-
lemma should anyone interpose formal
objection to their Inauguration, and
that the old officers may hold over until
another election. The city charter re-
quires that the city clerk shall, after the
official canvass of the votes east, forth
with notify the officers of their. election,
and that in the event ''any officer who
shall refuse or neglect for ten days after
notice of election or appointment to enter
upon the discharge of the duties Of his,
office. shall be deemed to have vacated
his Office" etc. The ten days have long
since expired and the officers have not
yet appeared. just what will be the
legal effect is enigmatical, although the
provision above is plainly a blunder
made in amending the charter so as to
abrogate the provisions TO, holding
spring elections.
The charter also requires specially
that park commissioners shall qualify
ten days previous to the first Monday in
January.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The opera ''Pygmalion and Galatea"
was sung by THE Bostonlans" last
night before large and, of course,
fashionable audience. The Grand mad
never more enthusiastic audience, and
the opera went into instant favor. MI.
Karl and Jessie Bartlett Davis, together
with Marie Stone, easily carried of the
honors. The opera is beautifully
mounted, and the staging was correct IN
every detail, as also the costumlng.
The choral members and the orchestra
were features not often seen with even
the most pretentlous organizations.
"Pygmalion and Galatea'' will be re-
peated Thursday evening. At the
matinee to-day "Fatinitza" will be pro-
duced, and tonight Dorothy" the new
opera, will receive its initial preSehta-
ton.
The Florences will be at the Grand
opera house next week. Their engage
ment will be notable for the production
of their new piece Heart OF Hearts"
which has met with such great success
this season as to warrant 1t permanent
place in their repertoire. In ii the Flor

rest of the week. The play is strong
story of Southern life, with all the pas
sions of the South. There is clever
comedy vein running through it, which
serves to brighten the darker passages
of the plot. The play has been great
success in the Eassern cities.
The remarkable success of the Cecilian
Opera company last wee! in their pre-
Sentation of Patience" has proved,
what will be of interest to lovers OF
Alusic in the Twin Cities, that there is
the material in st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis for first-class opera company, mu-
sicalIy and histronically. The public
who visited the Hennepin Avenue
theater last week were both surprised
and charmed to see how perfect per-
Torrance an amateur company was able
to give. The company now feel quite
like professionals, and The performance
at the Hennepin this afternoon ana
evening will have the benefit of last
weeks performance. The troupe has
now definitely decided to go on the
road for short time and try its success
in other places where the members of
the company are not so well known.

opportunity that will be given Mime

CARVER is WARM
And Offers New Wager---News-
paper Men Challengers.

A little postage stamp daily came out
last evening with "scare head'' sensa-
ton intending to convey the impression
that DIR. Carver's wonderful feat of
breaking 10000 balls with a rifle in six
days was fake; that the doctor shot
simply to advertise the make of guns he
used, and that he missed fully 50 per
cent of the balls he shot at. Instead of
only go out of the entire &c, 900 as shown
by the score. DR.. Carver was mad clear
through when shown the article.
"Why, confound it ALL" said he, as he
threw down the sheet, this paper
makes out that l was standing there
more dead than alive, simply to adver-
tise a certain make Of rifle. That is
false in every particular. as / will prove.
Mr.. jackson offered me so much money
to give all exhibition in Minneapolis,
agreeing to furnish the guns, cartridges
and the place to shoot. did not know
what kind of rifles he had procured
until after all the details of the shoot
had been arranged. He purchased the
guns himself at local gun store, soyou
can see how | was paid to advertise
them. The charge that l missed 80
per cent of all the balls shot
III is absolutely ldiSc. ifdu nOtnlnS TO
do with the man who was keeping
score, and so far as | know he had no
reason in returning a false score in any
way Now, ii that paper thinks that I
can not break 10000 balls without miss
ing 1000 of them, will agree to shoot
another match, using glass balls, OF
whatever the owners of the paper may
designate, provided that the paper will
pay me $1,000 if [ win. Again, I will
bet the owners of the paper 81 600 to
s., 1000 that / can break $500 balls out of
10000, and do it easily. My money is
ready, and if the owners OF the paper
will cover it, will be in readiness to
shoot in less than one month. | had no
money bet on my shoot at the rink. for l
was somewhat doubtful as to whether
l could do it or not. The only money
received was what Mr.. Jackson paid me.
the amount he hired me for. That's
about all care to say in regard to these
charges. except that the statement that
l advertised that the shoot was Oh a
wager with New York and Cleveland
parties is false in every particular.

There was no special business trans
acted at the meeting of the police COM

to do. President AmeS was the only
member of the board absent, being too

the commission and called the attention
of the members to the charges made
against him by Lieut.. Swan Walton in
connection with the release of a pris-
oner from the South Minneapolis sta
ton. Capt. Ness said that he desired
to have thorough investigation. No
action of any kind was taken, the board
preferring to lay the matter over until

of the patrolmeD now under suspension
were not taken up. and it is not proba-
BILE that they will be until some time
