The Labor Temple hall last night was
crowded to its utmost capacity by the
mass meeting of the members of the
Scandinavian total abstinence So
cieties of Minneapolis. The societies
were all well represented, and there
were present besides great number of
people who are interested in the tenn
perance cause. The meeting was called
to order by S. B. Williams, of the West
minister Presbyterian church, who pre-
sided as chairman throughout the
evening. The programme was inter
spersed by singing by the audience
and also by solos and duets by Profs.
Reinstead and Nydahl. This part
of the evenings exercises was
heartily applauded by the lovers of
music, as the singing of the professors
is excellent. Chairman Williams made
a few remarks Oh Ohe object of the
meeting, and the great cause for which
those present had assembled. The
OTHER prominent speakers of the even
ing were Rev. DR.. Campbell, Charles
William nn'''''' Peterson e Rev N:R william
Langland, of Dakota; DR.. w. d.
Edwards, of La Sueur, and one ever
ready in the cause of temperance, John
&. Woolley. The speeches were all for
constitutional prohibition. There were
some present who are strongly i'll favor
of the temperance cause being carried
forward by the third party, but they all
gracefully succumbed to the sentiment
of the evening, which was energetic
ally and enthusiastically constitutional
prohibition. The following resolutions
were read and adopted by the 600 peo-
pie present by unanimous standing
vote:
To the Honorable Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives of the State of Minnesota:
Whereas. The state is in duty bound to pro-
tect its citizens against any evils which have
a tendency to destroy the health. morals and
social welfare of the people, and
Whereas. The liquor trat1ice is by far the
greatest evil and curse in this state. causing
poverty. suffering, crime, political corrup-
ton and financial ruin to thousands upon
thousands of its citizens, and
Whereas, The system of license, high or
low, fails to remedy these evils, and
Whereas, The local option system by wards
or counties affords no equal OF permanent re-
lief, therefore,
Resolved. That we endorse the petitions
addressed to your honorable body praying for
the submission 10 q vote Of the people OF
Minnesota the question of constitutional pro-
hibition at q special election.
Resolved, That we, the Scandinavian citi-
zens of Minneapolis, shall not be satisfied
with any temperance measure short of con-
stitutional prohibition.
Resolved, That we further urge your hon
orablc body to pass law prohibiting the
rendering of theatrical performance on Sun.

HELPING THE BOYS.
The Newsies and Sinners Learn
ing to Be Carpenters.

Eight OF ten little fellows. with in
terest in their dirty faces and energy in
the movements of the bodies beneath
the ragged clothing, hard at work max
ing something with saw, plane and bit
yesterday made an interesting scene in
the Newsboys' club room beneath Mrs.
Fairs store in the syndicate block. At
one bench is little fellow whose chin
comes but little above the level
of the bench, very busy measur-
ing off distances with guage.
The boys range in size from this to big
boys who are making their beginning
steps with the little fellows. The man
ual training school has been open each
Tuesday and Friday afternoon now for
the past two weeks. This addition to
the club room was made by the Young
Mems Alliance of the Plymouth Congre-
gational church, who have put in seven
benches and tools of every description
for the use of the neWSleS. Prof. E. A.
Eldred, instructor of the Central High
school, is in charge of the young
apprentices and seems to know
just how to manage them. He says the
little fellows take hold with good deal
more energy than he expected them to
at the start. Yesterday afternoon the
work was the most promising that it has
been of any time in the two weeks.
Are you going to stick to this and
make carpenter of your self" asked
the GLOBE reporter of bright little
fellow learning to make plane go.
eyes, you bet l am," he SAID en-
phatically. stopping just long enough
to answer the query.
"The boys on an average do lust as
well as the ninety-fve boys have had
at the High school building, and seem
just as earnest in their work." said
Prof. Edred as he examined neatly
beveled and planed piece of pine a
white-headed newsie had just handed
him. Now this is only that boys sec
ond lesson, and that is good job"
The plans for the work the boys are
to do are tackled on the wall. and they
go to them and take their own
measurements and complete the work.
The professor says that the same boys
come every day and are quite faithful.
They are most of them able to use the
saw and plane quite handily, and in a
few more lessons will be given the ham
merS and started in construction. AS
they advance it is hoped to arrange
scroll saws and laths for their use.
AS the time drew near for the boys to
go to work, Mrs. Farr appeared in the
doorway bearing a great sack of buns
in her arms and smile on her face
indicative of the fact that it is more
blessed to give than receive, and paid
the boys OFF, for their afternoons work,
commenting on their work and making
the little fellows feel like they had
really accomplished something.

CITY HALL AUrOCRAT.
Aid. Downs, He, Wants Things to
Go When He Saws "Gee.'


It has been apparent from his actions
that Aid. Thomas Downs labors under
the impression, and it may be correct
enough, that he is the mogul of the
city council, and that the other alder
men are there simply to carry out his
wishes. 1t was not thought, however,
that he considered himself proprietor of
the city hall until lately. 1t appears
that Tuesday he ordered Janitor Henry
to vacate his rooms in the city hall in
stanter. The janitor went the day fol-
lowing, not because he was ordered, but
because he was going anyhow, and the
rooms were turned over to the new jan
itor. The alderman, in some way, got
the impression that his mighty author
lty was being disputed, and as result
a morning paper yesterday drew a
highly cOiOred picture of a janitOr's war
at the city hall. AS a matter of fact,
there is no misunderstanding between
them. and there has been none. The
incident is only of interest as illustrat-
ing the extent to which Aid. Downs is
going in devoting his entire time to the
interests of the city. 1t is suggested
that he be assigned room at the city
hall, where he can be conveniently 10
Gated, so as to take entire charge of
municipal matters, and have the city
hall under his immediate and personal
SuDerViSiOn.

MINNEAPOLIS,
Additional City News on the Fifth Faee.
THE JUDICIARY.

Now that HennepiD county is likely
to have one or two more judges the
question arises again as to whether
party services are to be considered the
necessary qualifications for appoint
ment. There are at present three Re-
publicans to one Democrat on the
bench, and the last two appointments
were plainly made as political rewards.
The wishes and 0, >qions of the attor-
neys have been, with but one excep
ton, calmly ignored in the selection of
the Judiciary by the Republicans. Per-
hapS, now, man who is eminently
qualified for the position, who has twice
been declared the almost unanimous
choice of the bar. and who has rem
dered such valuable services to the
city as Bon. Seagrave Smith may
stand some show of recognition, even if
ne does happen to be a Democrat. Or
maybe q lawyer of ability, like d. a.
Secombe, VINO has kept aloof from poll
ties, may be considered with some favor.
l. is not probable, however. Can
Caniidates for the appointment, whose
training school for the bench has been
the caucas. and whose legal experience
has beer derived largely from peddling
tickets at the polls, and whose oratory
has been most extensively exercised in
making stump speeches, are already in
the field with their G. a. r. buttons
.conspicuously displayed, and petitions
in heir behalf are being circulated be-
fore the office is created.
