Resume Of the Weeks Events
and the Ladies Who Par
ticipated.

The advocates OF anarchy and socialism
both in this country and Europe, are con-
SANITY crying aloud that the wealthy and
well-to-do classes are selfish; that they exist
only to pursue pleasure and comfort and
are deaf to the condition of the poor and IN
fortunate. The disciples of the sans cullotes
OF 1898 and the communards and petrol
euses OF 1871, who sacked the beautiful city
of Paris, would certainly be cured of their
anarchial ideas if they had been present dur
ing the past week, and witnessed the arduous
labor undertaken in the cause of charity to
the sick and aid to the deserving and unfor-
tunate, by the ladies of II. Paul who have
carried the Harvest Festival so successfully
through. Home comforts and social events
were put aside in order that every moment
might be devoted TO the work. No intrinsic
reward was looked for, the good charitable
cause. and the knowledge that something
had been done to ease the sufferings of the
victims of disease and accident, are rewards
far beyond any that earthly beings can give.
From beginning to end there has been an
esprit du corps which assured the success of
the festival. In the grand collection of val
uable paintings, curios, jewels, laces, an
tques and the hundreds of objects of art
donated by our prominent citizens, the
crowds OF spectators who have passed
through the art loan exhibition have found
both enjoyment and education. Eight hun
dred and twenty exhibits were catalogued,
The value of the same being placed at
S1,OO0,OOO. Among those who lorned
works were j. j. Hill, D. c. Shepard, A
II. Wilder, Gov. Merriam, j. A. Wheelock. f.
B. Clarke, Robert Mannheimer Henry Hale,
Rev. Ur. Wright W. F. Graves, P. B. Groat
Judge Flandrau. D. r. Noyes, Il. C. Munger.
Mrs. NJ. D. Flower, Mrs. o. L. Taylor. Mrs
c. b. Lamborn, Mrs. Olive Culbertson, Mrs
Louis S. Noble, and Mrs. Van der Velde.
The army exhibits arranged Dy Col. E. c.
Mason, of Fort Smelling. and Maj. George @.
White. delighted all who have been present
during the week, and the implements of war
formed strange contrast to the products of
peace seen in the beautiful exhibits of grains
and crops shown by the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern roads.
The many social events given in connec-
ton with the festival were remarkable for
the fact that they eclipsed anything of the
kind ever before given in st. Paul.
The epicurean feasts provided each day in
the dining rooms will be long remembered
by the patrons who visited the Arcade.
On Monday evening the reception was
given by the ladies of the art loan commit
tee, the Third Regiment U. S. Infantry band
supplying the music by kind permission of
Col. Mason. The unique and tastefully ar
ranged wall of the exhibition room formed a
pleasing background to the fair ladies of the
committee who received, dressed in elegant
toilets. The art loan committee was com.
posed of the following ladies:
