A PEDANT FREAK.
The Remarkable Case of Myrtle
COrbin. the FOur.LeCDed Girl.


The Remarkable Case of Myrtle
Corbin, the Four.Legged Girl.
A charming young woman with
blonde hair and two pairs of legs sat
last night on platform at the st. Paul
museum. and was gazed on by curios-
ity-hungry crowd. The young lady
with the auburn hair and the four re-
markabIe legs chatted pleasantly with
the people about her, and did not
seem at all disturbed by the curious
gaze Of the crowd. This young lady
was Miss Myrtle Josephine Corbin,
known TO fame as the ''four-legged
GIRL" and called one of the most re-
markable freaks of nature in the world.
Miss Myrtle Corbin is bright, intelfi-
gent Young women, and she takes all
entirely original view of the business of
posing as freak. She does not feel at
all sensitive in regard to the curiosity
that she creates; she enjoys it.
She finds herself interesting, and h; S
spent much of her time studying up her
own history, trying to find some one
like herself somewhere in medical his
tory. ''lt is TERRIBLE" she said, ito be
so entirely alone in the world with no
one like you ever having lived. If
could only find that somewhere some
one who had four legs. just as | have
them, it would be a great relief"
Miss Corbin is posted On daemonol-
ogy. She has studied freaks in history.
She knows all about them, and can tell
you of all the great historic curiosities.
She is particularly interested in the va
riOus theories that have been advanced
to account for the peculiar phenomena

CREATED A BIG ROW.
A Hot Time in the Scandinavian
CIub.-.A Scheme Knocked Out.


Club---A Scheme Knocked Out.
The Independent Scandinavian Po-
litical club affected permanent organ.
ization last night. The adoption of the
constitution and bylaws created consid-
cradle discussion when it came to a
declaration of the purposes of the club.
That provision, as offered and subse-
quently adopted, reads as follows:
The object and purpose of this club shall
be to create and promote among its members
an interest in politics by frequent discus
sions and criticism of measures ana men,
both IN private conversation and IN pubic
debate, and at all times and III all lawful
ways to seek to elevate, purify and improve
our politics from n non partisan standpoint.
Recognizing that in the leveling process OF
politics the fOre1gn-born are taken al
disadvantage unless special facllltles TOT
information are given them to be placed on
all equal footing with every other citizen, 1t
shall be the special purpose and object OF
this club to disseminate useful, practical iIl-
formation to our Scandinavian American
fellow citizens But the club, as an Organi-
cation, shall take no action in favor or any
Individual or tickets, leaving the individual
members free to vote according to the die
tates of all enlightened individual con-
science.
N. M. Thygesen made motion to
amend that clause SO as to provide that
the club may by a two-thirds vote make
fitting recommendations by resolution
or otherwise as to the representative
character OF any Scandinavian nominee
for public Office, and as to the trust and
confidence placed in him by his own
people, and to encourage the promotion
to public office of no Scandinavian un-
less he be true and honest representa-
tive of his people. This amendment
was vigorously opposed in speeches by
Judge Nelson, Mr.. LoWman, .. a.
Fliesberg and others, and was defeated
by a large majority, there being but
about eight out of nearly 200 votes in
its favor. Judge Nelson made some
telling points against the attempt TO
make the club partisan, and was r0undly
appIauded. Some one in the heat OF the
discussion wanted to know ii he was
member of the club, to which he replied
that if being born in Sweden and hay-
ing paid the Initiation fee and being en-
rolled was all that was required, he had
the honor to say he was. The remark
caused the assembly to laugh itself into
good humor. Gen. Sanborn was pres
ent at the opefling>ef the meeting and
delivered an address explanatory OF the
Australian election law.
The club starts out with large men,
berShip. This will, as said by one of
the speakers, be largely augmented
upon the adoption of liberal constitu-
ton and bylaws. There were quite q
number of prominent ScandinavianS in
attendance

PRACTICAL CHRISTIAN WORK
A Work for Young Women Which
Should Be Encouraged.

N w OK lOr Dung women WHICH
Should Be Encouraged.
A very important organization was
effected yesterday afternoon by num-
Der of prominent gentlemen of our city.
On Dec. II, 1883, rooms were opened at
20 East Seventh street for the use of the
young women employed in stores, Off
ees, wholesale houses. etc. The rooms
are open daily from 9 a. IN. until 9 p. m.
Coffee, tea and milk are here served
from 1880 a. m. until 2:30 p. M, and
when obliged to work evenings, from 5
p. m. until 7:30 p. m. A penny a cup is
charged, the young women bringing
their own lunches.
During the past fifteen months 80, 709
cups of coffee, tea and milk have been
served. The average daily attendance
at present is more than hundred. The
rooms are very pleasant, and piano,
books. magazines, etc., add much to the
comfort and enjoyment of the tired
workers. The rooms have also afforded
resting place for young women COM
ing to the city as strangers. They have
been directed to respectable boarding
houses, and, when possible, employ
ment has been found for them.
The following gentlemen decided a
work so impoi tant should be perma-
nently organized and sustained, and
therefore Issued the following call for a
meeting:
1t seems to us that if the work which is
being done under the charge of j. NJ. Lieh-
tenbeyer at 20 East Seventh street were bet
ter known and understood it would receive
more general and helpful recognition: TO
secure the interest ana cooperation of the
business men of st. Paul III this important
work we ask you to meet with US.

Despite the loud assertion of certain

THE PAUPER SYSTEM
Not Changed in Two Counties
Charity and Correction Work.

The state board of corrections and
charities held its regular quarterly
meeting at the office of the secretary,
H. FL. Hart, yesterday, and was in ses-
sion the greater portion Of the day.
The secretary submitted his quarterly
report. which was principally devoted
to the routine work of the office. A
delegation from Goodhue county sub
mitted plans for a new county aims
house, which the board approved with
slight notifications. The principal
change demanded was that the struet-
ure be solid brick instead of brick We
neer.
The counties of Sherburne and Nor
man, which had asked for permission
to change their plan of caring for pau
pefS FROM the county to the township
plan, were advised not to make the
change. A majority of the board was
against the township method on general
principles, while in this case there were
special objections.
DR.. S. &. Smith was chosen delegate
to the national meeting of corrections
and charities to be held at Baltimore
in May, and j. W. Willis was chosen as
alternative.
