Tor, the floor was covered with several
large Turkish rugs each one OF which was
worth $35O.0O the walls were decorated
with fifteen oil paintings all. from
the skillful brush of our talented
artist J. r.. White. These paintings
representing years of labor and
unquestioned talent are from a wide
range of subjects, and are some
thing st. Paul may we'll be proud of.
The reception committee was sta
toned in the North end of the spacious
room in front of bank of ferns, palms
and beautiful flowers on either side of a
handsome pier mirror which reflected
the beautiful scene. The choice exotics
and plants were placed all through the
room at every possible available point.
Mirrors, easels, bric-a-brac, elegant
furniture, and magnifcently costumed
ladies and gentlemen, combined, formed
a most magnificent scene. The recep-
ton committee was composed as follows
Mr.. and Mrs. F. L. McGhee; Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. Thomas; Mr.. and Mrs
Allen French; MIR. and Mrs. T.
H. Lyles; Mr.. and. Mrs. J. H.

Misses Ella B. Smith, Alice Berry, Lulu

The reception proper lasted until 10
O'Clock by which time all the guests had
arrived and had been ushered into the
main hall by the floor committee Messrs.
T. H.. Griswold, j. G. Bess. =. w. Ben
nett, T. R. King and M. E. Singleton,
and had been supplied with the beauti-
full programmes which all will doubtless
keep, both on account of their simple
elegance and as souvenirs of the occa-
sion.
When all were seated the officers, COM
mittee of management and those who
were to fill numbers on the programme
took seats on the stage. Professor Sci

every word from the top of the first col

Odd Fellows. They think they are

that nice hall at the corner of Third and
Cedar for lodge room. Then, they

expressly for themselves. Then, they
have procured the finest of lodge furni-

The orchestra again sent forth it's
sweet strains while the guests INDUCED
in subdued conversation. AS the strains
of music died away president Lyles
again stepped to the front and happily
introduced Rev. Allan Allensworth, OF
Fl. Bayard, N. NJ, one of the only two
Colored chaplains in the United States
army. The Chaplain is very pleasant
speaker and he delighted his audience
with his witty remarks and was rounaly
applauded.
Prof. G.. F. Adams of Chicago, was
then introduced and sang a German
solo so artisticallv and we'll that he was
compelled to respond to hearty encore
by rendering popular song in English.
Of course the indispensable Miss Lulu
Griswold presided at the piano, with
her usual ability.
The renowned elocutionist Miss Hal
lie @. Brown was then introduced and
gave matchless reading Of How Saint
Michaels was Saved.'' The reading OF
this gifted lady is too well known to
need any commentator and tits only
necessary to mention the fact that she
fully sustained her reputation, she was
encored, of course, and gracefully re-
sponded by reading q medley ending
with THE Bells" which was SO well
done, that their Naturalization is
doubtless still ringing in the ears Of all
who rapturously listened to them as
they fell from her lips. For the next
number on the programme Rev. B. w.

proximating in completeness of detail
and in point of excellence the one of
Thursday evening.
At the first meeting of those who were
interested in doing something to up
hold the fame of Minnesota and St.
Paul particularly the following officers
were elected:
T. H. Lyles, president; Allen French,
vice president; George Duckett, treas
urer: ]. @. Adams, secretary. At the
same meeting the committee of man
agement were selected as follows: F. L.
McGhee, chairman; w. A. Hazel, R. E.
Anderson, O. D. Howard, J. B. john
son, T. H. Lyles, and j. @. Adams.
How we'll the officers and committee
did their parts those who were present
are best able to judge; and, judging
from their unanimous expression, they
would willingly subscribe to the biblical
enunciation "Well done good and faith
full Servants"

beauty. Pendent from the center was a
tremendous Japanese umbrella and
from that point number of stripes OF
vari-colored bunting ran out to the
walls on either side making a canopy
above, beautiful to behold.
The caterer for the occasion was
Mr.. T. S. Watkins, than whom there is
no better in the Northwest. and he had
arranged the supper room most beauti-
fully. In the center was a large buffet
table containing a magnificent silver
epergne surmounted by a large boquet
and filled with choicest fruits; sur
rounding this, was the beautiful silver
and china of the finest makes. Around
the center table were placed sixteen
smaller tables, seating six persons each,
and these were most beautifully ''set
up" After marching through the
supper room and viewing it, the guests
returned to the main hall. The supper
room was then opened and placed un-
der the charge of the refreshment COM
mittee: Daniel Hardin, J.. K. White.
Moses Davis, w. j. Henderson and
A. Richards. A corps of first-class
walters we're on hand to attend to the
wants of all. The supper was light,
consisting of salads, croquettes, bread,
coffee, creams, ices, fruits, etc., all OF
the best, and served at any time dur
ing the evening from the opening of the
supper room. Roman punch and lemon
frappe were served during the entire
evening in the main hall. Simultane-
GUS with the opening of the supper room
the dancing began in the main hall
with a waltz and continued until ten
numbers were gone through with, by
which time it was four o'clock and

reluctantly donned their wraps, babe
adieux, entered their carriages, and the
reception was numbered among the
things of the past.
All who had the good fortune to be
present at the reception voted it the
most recherche affair the northwest
had ever known.
It could easily be seen by the bewitch-
ing costumes of the ladies present,
why they are grateful to mother Eve
for setting the example Of draping
themselves in becoming habiliments
and it also could be seen by the most
casual observer that they had made
wonderful improvements on her fig
leaf dress. The toilettes worn by the

Health is Wealth.

Everybody would like to be rich-and
most people would like to be healthy.
Perhaps the last is easier of attainment
than the first. Certainly if you live
anywhere near the line of The Burling-
ton," you can preserve what health you
have, or regain that which you have
lost. And you can do this with a very
moderate expenditure of wealth. How
much better to give little wealth for a
good deal of health! Do you wish to
know how this can be done? Visit the
famous eft. Crawford Springs'' at

dent very gracefully stepped forward
and with fitting words introduced Rev.
L. G. Sheafe Of Pilgrim Baptist church,
St, Paul, who delivered the address of
welcome. The address was nicely
worded and nicely delivered and was
listened to with pleasure by all. The
president than with ulogistic remarks
introduced Prof. J. G. Price, president
of Livingston College, Salisbury, N. c.
With the ease and grace characteristic
of the renowned orator, he responded to
the address of welcome and more 6xedly
established his right to the title of ora
tor which is accorded to him by all who
have heard him. He spoke briefly but
most entertainingly and took his seat
amid rapturous applause. He was fol-
lowed by the little giant Rev. j. M.

A Photographer Has No Right to Sell
Pictures of His Customers.
At St. Paul in the Supreme Court re-
Gently decision was handed down in
the case of Ida Moore, of Minneapolis,
against Photographer Rugg. Rugg sold
copy of Mrs. Moore's picture, which
was put on exhibition in improper
places, much to the lady's discredit, and
she brought suit for damages. The Su-
preme Court holds that it is case in
which there is ground for recovering
damages; that the photographer has no
right to dispose of pictures, which are
the sole property of the sitter. The
decision is an important one, as similar
cases have arisen previously in other
parts of the country.

Never Before Equalled
.-. in the Northwest.

When it was announced that the Ma
tional Educational Association would be
held in st. Paul this year; and, that
thousands OF educators and visitors
would be attracted to our city thereby,
1T naturally occurred to the minds of
many that, as the m5st noted Afro
Americans are among the educators,
there would be large number of them
present. While there was no thought
that there would be any ostracism or
prejudice shown on account of color
in thefmatter of general accommodation
and public demonstrations; and, with
out any desire or intention of relieving
the local committee of any of the re-
sposibilities encumbent upon it, so far
as members of the association were con-
cerned, small number of the public
spirited gentlemen of the city thought
it would be eminently proper for them

Rev. R. H. Cole, pastor of the First
Baptist Church is meeting with much
success in his efforts to raise $1,000 for
the Church by the LIST, Sunday in Sep
TENDER. Rev. Cole visited Cincinnati a
week or so ago and the Commercial Ga
zette of that city bad this to say about
him. The services held last Sunday at
Zion Baptist Church were of an unusual
character. Upon invitation from the
pastor Of the church, Rev. R. H. Cole,
of st. Louis, was invited to take charge
of the services during the day. A large
and appreciative audience greeted the
young divine at each service, morning
and evening. Mr.. Cole is a native Gin
clnnatian, and graduated from her
schools with honor. Locating in St.
Louis he taught school and at the same
time studied for the ministry, and to-
day he is principal of one of the schools
and at the same time pastor of one of
her largest churches. He is man OF
fine tastes, good reason, genial and
much loved by his people, a strong be-
lever in the fact that through the
Church his people are to be made equal
with all men. On last Thursday even
ing he preached at the Union Baptist
Church to a large and attentive audi
ence. Cincinnati feels proud of Mr..
Cole. and predicts fattering future for
him.

George E. Maxwell. cashier of the
Twin..City Bank in Minneapolis, recently
wired the Comptroller at Washington
that the banks of Minneapolis had COM
piled with the law, which makes the
Flour City reserve city. He has been
in correspondence with the Washing
ton officials for some time, getting the
required instructions, which have been
all complied with. The move is an i'm
portant one, and will add greatly to the
volume of currency in the city. 1t will
increase the business of the National
banks, give Minneapolis additional
claims as market center, and greatly
increase the city's banking business.
