meeting of the club last evening at the
headquarters on Depot street, but a
greater number held a different opinion
and failed TO appear. The president of

door of the room, was one of those who
thought there would be no meeting, and.
as he was not to be found, an entrance was
gained by forcing open the doors. Only
nine members of the party appeared after
the lamp was lighted, and as three of
those were candidates the exercises of the
evening wers omitted, and the gathering
broke up disconsolateIv.

A GRAND AFFAIR.
The Kirmess at the First Congre-
gatiOnal Church.

The Kirmess at the First COngre-
gatiOnal Church.
There was large and gay gathering
at the First Congregational church last
evening at the opening of the kirmess.
In fact. the visitors became so numer-
GUS by 9o'clock that it was next to inn
possible to get sight at any of the
booths in which gallant gentlemen and
pretty ladies represented different ma
lions, dressed in the style peculiar to
each. The participants in the affair had
Wed with each other in the arrangement
and decoration of the several booths,
which showed the dainty work of fair
hands, and were filled with pretty brio
a-brac. 1t was hard to tell which was
entitled to the palm, all OF them being
veritabe fairy scenes after the manner
of each.
The American booth was fitted up as
a modern parlOr, and was so cosy to
look at that many bachelor gave it
curious glance as he passed, more
especially when he viewed the merry
faces of the pretty ladies in charge.
There was a Goddess of Liberty, side
by side with an Indian fortune teller,
and President and Mrs. Madison affili-
ated OH the best of terms with Pow
hatan, while Pocahontas exchanged
compliments with m dern bOotblack,
to the utter exclusion of Capt. Smith.
In the ScOcth booth, the various plaidS
mingled in as sweet harmony as if there
had never been any strife of clan,and the
McGregOr We'd in hues with the Camp
bell, while for once all were united in
sweet peace. There were pretty faces
and brawny arms there too, and the
booth where the bonnet and the kilt was
displayed was one of the chief attrac
tions. The Greek booth was also a
mecca for the sightseerS, and was well
worth more than passing glance. The
toga and robe was worn with becoming
grace by the gentlemen and ladies, and
the latter gave the lie to the Wanted
beauty of modern dress as an enhancer
of the form.
The Oriental booth was attractive
from the oddly af the dress, while the
Eastern attitudes of the occupants lent
much to the beauty of the effect. 1t
was just as we'll that the young ladies
dispensed with the Turkish custom of
hiding the face from public gaze, as
such move would have taken away
the prettiest part of this really lovely
booth. The Spanish section enjoyed
themselves with music and tambour-
ines, "Boulanger's March' being the
tavorite air. The Scandinavian, Ger
man and Italian booths were gems, and
the Japanese booth was eXcellently
draped and the ladies and gentlemen
dressed in true Mikado style. The kir
mess will continue this evening.

JUMPED EIGHTY FEET.
A Young Woman UnsuccessfuIly
Attempts Suicide

Attempts Suicide.
Emma Kittleman, a young woman
who is employed as domestic by Mrs.
Pauley, of 1S1 Island avenue, made what
was apparently desperate attempt at
suicide early yesterday morning by
leaping into the Mississippi from the
Tenth avenue bridge, distance of
eighty feet. Fortunately, she was
fshed out, and, aside from a shock and
a good ducking. she is all right, and DR..
Ii. H. Leavltt, who was called to attend
her, says she will recover in a very
short time. The girl refused to give
any reason for her rash act. She left
Mrs. Pauley's house about $3.50 a. NJ,
leaving the following note in her room
for her mistress:
Doent Wait for me fore I Will nevernever
come back again. I am going to take swim
shell know Why did it.
Give my pay to my sister when she comes
/ shell tell her how much have to get.
About Z o'clock the pedestrians on
the bridge were startled by the appear
ance of young woman, who, suddenly
throwing off her hat, vaulted nimbly
over the railing and dropped to the
water, eighty feet below. An alarm
was quickly raised, and William Heath,
of 1872 Tyler street, who was on the
bank, procured boat and pulled out to
where the woman had fallen. She was
then floating away, but she caught hold
of rock and yelled for help Heath
reached her in few moments and
pulled her into the boat. She was
taken to the mission on the flats. Med
ical attendance was Immediately sum-
moned, and all the care that could be
was bestowed upon her. She said that
she wanted to die, and did not thank
any one for saving her, but close ques-
tioning failed to reveal any cause for
her attempt to take her life. Her hat,
which was found upon the bridge, was
taken to the central station.

The Cooking school.

Miss Amy Barnes delivered her third
lecture to the class in cooking at the
w. G. T.. U. coffee palace yesterday
afternoon. The class was increased
considerably in numbers, which shows
the interest taken in the lessons by the
ladies of Minneapolis. The usual pre-
liminary talk was given, this time upon
the subject of steaming, and then the
bill Of fare was begun. The dishes for
the day were corn soup, Turkish plat
fricassee of oysters, omelet, snow-balls,l
cranberry sauce. After the lesson was
finished, gossip among the ladiestre-
vealed the fact that in most cases, their,
efforts to copy the delicate dishes pre-
pared by Miss Barnes had been success
full. and all seemed pleased with the
instruction given, which is so thorough
and simple that even the novices find
no trouble in preparing the dishes given
in past lessons. Friday, April Is, is
the date for the next lesson, the next in
the servants course being on Thursday
