Protected by Fashion.

Offers and minks were very scarce
in Connecticut ii dozen years ago. and it
was fe red the animals might become
extinct, for their hides were worth
from S. to $40 apiece. and every body
hunted them. Then suddenly fashion
changed her mind about the value of
mink and otter skins, .he price went
down, and now the animals abound in
the state again. So numerous have
minks become there that they are get
ting to be quite familiar with country
people.

Hints to HOnS-xeepers.

1t is convenient to have an iron
holder attached by long string to the
apron when cooking; it saves burnt
fingers or scorched aprons, and is al

ink which will not blur if the writing
is exposed to rain: Dissolve two ounces

per cent?. filter through chalk, and
mix with best lampblack.
An original use OF glass has been de-
vised. Various colored pieces in odd
sizes are pierced by three or four hol es
on the edge, and caught together by
wire until they form a mesh or fret

An English genius has invented a
tray containing night lamp and a
small sauce cup for holding infan is
food. This mechanical arrangement
can be att ,ched to the bedpOst, aud is
invaluable in home where there is an
invalid or baby and few or no SER
wants. The night-iamp emits sufficient
heat to keep the child's food warm.

tray is convenient pace for book.
In washing woOlens, the water
should be OF warm temperature With

of ammonia ought to be added to each

a Lack Of Taste.

If the young colts have not yet be en-
halter broken, this part OF their early
education should not be neglected any
longer.
Condiments or condition powders
are useful only when damage has been
done by wrong feeding or errors in
management. Throw physic to the
dogs" might we'll be the maxim OF
the owner of a horse. With judi
cious feeding IL horse may be kept in
perfect health and no nostrum OF this
kind will be needed.
Mares that have been bred should
now be fed with due regard to the foal
that will be expected in due time.
Corn alone is not sufficient food for
such an animal. One feed daily of
coarsely-crushed oats and bran in
equal parts, will afford the nourish-
ment required for this large draft upon
the mares system.
An excellent arrangement for Il
mare with a colt is loose box with a
SIudll Stulk III Ou0 CUTuCEs having d
bar across to prevent the mare from
entering, and u low feed trough, where
the colt can get its regular rations of
oats at the same time that the mare is
fed. The colt should have strong
strap around its neck. with q ring
sewed in it, to which halter with a
snap-hook at the end OF it can be
fastened.
Some are apt to think that the

REPORTERS ADMITTED.
The Orthodox Ministers Will Hold
Omen Meetings.

The Presbyterian ministers held their
regular weekly meeting yesterday
morning. and Rev. d. j. Burrell intro
duced the subject again of whether or
not reporters should be allowed to be
present at their meetings. He said that
in his opinion the public should know
whether minister's views were ortho-
dox or not, and the ministers should not
say anything that they were unwilling
the public should know. Some little
discussion was INDUCED in, but when it
was known that the great local divine
had taken stand favoring the admis-
sion of reporters, the others wheeled Into
line, and when vote was taken, there
were but two dissenting voices. The
Baptist and Methodist ministers had
already favored the movement, and now
that the Presbyterians have decided
favorably the union meetings in future
will probably be held with open doors.
Rev. Dr.. Adams, synOdical missionary
for Minnesota, talked for a considerable
time upon missionary matters in the
state.
The Methodist ministers did not hold
their usual meeting. as union meeting
with the ministers OF st. Paul was be-
ing held at Hamline. AT this meeting
DR.. 0. H. Tiffany delivered an address
on 1.-THE Social Element in Christianity,
and Christianity in the Social life of
our People,

A Number of Committees Meet
and Transact Business.
Eight committees of the city council
met yesterday. The special committee
charged with the investigation of the
charges made against some of the alder
men held an executive session to con-
slider the report which will be made to
the council on Friday next. AS there
was not full attendance at the meet
ing, the committee adjourned to meet
at 10 o'clock this morning in City Attor-
ney Russell's office. The committee. 1t
is said, is pledged to secrecy, and the
result of its deliberations will not be
known until the report is submitted to
the council.
The committee on public grounds and
buildings has at last become patriotic,
and yesterday, in response to the petit
ton of John G. Sterrett, the janitOr of
the city hall, flag was purchased to
replace the rag which has floated from
the mast for the last year. The COM
mittee also approved number of bills
for supplies. The committees on print
Ing. paving and gas approved the regu-
lar monthly bills. Besides approving
bills the committee on health and hos
pitfalls agreed to issue burial permits for
and recognize Hillside cemetery, in
ThWing's Highland Park addi-
ton, as burial ground. The COM
mite on Workhouse approved plans for
an addition to the workhouse. 1t is
proposed to add another story to the
laundry building and to use the second
floor for the accommodation of the fe-
male prisoners. This will allow the wing
now occupied by them to be used for
male inmates. and will add thirty-seven
cells to the male apartment. The cost
of the addition, which will include ac-
commodations for twenty-one inmates,
besides a sewing room and the matron's
room, will be very small. as the material
obtained from the crematory can all be
utilized

Keith for damages, alleging that he
placed himself under the care of DR..
Keith when his feet were frozen, but
that, through the doctors neglect, he
lost one foot. DIR. Keith yesterday filed
his answer, in which he says that STEM
son never was under his care. The doc
tor says that StenS0n, giving the name
of Jonn Jones, brought woman, whom
he claimed to be his wife, to his
(Keith's) house, where she was cared
for during her confinement. AfterWard
Stenson came to the house drunk, with
both feet frozen, ahd requested treat
ment. The doctor says he started to
care for the man, but that, while out of
the room, the woman applied hot water
to StenS0n'S feet and refused to obey
his instructions, Whereupon he refused
to have anything more to do with the
case.
j. C. Oswald and Sheriff Eye are made
defendants in an action brought by j.
K. OBrien to secure permanent III
junction to restrain them from selling
the Hennepin avenue property formerly

complaint alleges that he and his wife
gave mortgage on the place in 1888 to
secure promissory note for $500 due
in i've years. He claims that the mort
gage was given to secure the note and
for nothing else. The property is now
in custody of the sheriff.
Winthrop Young, as administrator,
and the heirs of Ovid Pinney are made
defendants in a suit brought by E. G.
Whitney to recover STOP. Whitney
alleges that a judgment was secured by
Samuel Hill against Pinney'S estate sew
eral years ago. Part of the claim was
paid, and the remainder, $2,702, was
transferred to Whitney, who sues to re-
cover and to secure an accounting with
the administrator.
Mahala Baker, as administrators of
the estate of August Baker, has sued

who was killed in the company'S mill

Their Demand Acceded To.

The meeting of the plasterers' union
last evening in the Labor Temple was
harmonious one, and from the pres
ent outlook the men will have no trou-
BILE in securing their demand that eight
hours shall constitute days work. At
a former meeting the bosses were in
vited to meet with the union and talk
the matter over. Since then all of the
boss plasterers have been visited by a
committee from the union, and with but
one or two exceptions they were in
hearty accord with their employees. Some
of the bosses had gone so far as to say
that in their opinion the men should re-
ceive the same pay for eight hours
work that they now get for ten. At the
meeting last night addresses were made
by two of the bosses, Messrs. Smith and
Kelley, and they said there would GER
tainly be no trouble in allowing SIS for
eight hours work. While the skilled
wOrkmen are willing to accept a reduc-
ton of pay for reduction of hours, it is
possible, however, that the ''helperS,"
or laborers, will demand the same pay
that they they now receive, which is
S1.15 per day.
