has until elected to the legislature of

The narratives OF the services Of Min.
.aesota organizations in the Civil and
Indian Wars having been published by
the State, the wish is now being ex-
pressed that the State would likewise
publish, and as a companion volume,
the official reports and correspondence
relating to the services of such organi-
cations. At first thought it might seem
that THE Rebellion Record, ;" published
by the United States, would meet this
wish "The Rebellion Record" how
ever, contains only those reports relat-
ing to battles and campaigns, and when
finished will make eighty or more large
volumes which will be found only in a
few large libraries. Many other re-
ports, sometimes relating to detached
and obscure service, or perhaps to suf-
ferings in epidemics, were addressed TO
the Adjutant Generals Office of the
State and will not be found in ''The
Rebellion Record" perhaps the orig
inals of some were destroyed when the
capitol was burned in 1917 They are
worthy of preservation and can be more
economically and accurately compiled
and published now than at some remote
period in the future. A SOLDIER.

LANSING, Mich, Feb. 16.-Senato,
Doran is preparing bill to be intro
duced designed to reach the wealthy
Lake Superior mining companies
which now escape the great burden
of State taxation. The present law
exempts GAO acres of land and all i'm.
provements thereon for each minine
corporation and imposes specific tax
of one cent per ton on iron ore and sew.
enty-five cents on copper ore. Last
year the Calumet and Hecla come,
mine paid only about $4,000 taxes,
although it's annual profits are
millions and it has paid over $780,
100000 in dividends during the last
thirty years. The bill will voice gen.
eral sentiment in favor of a radical re.
form which will put fair proportion
of Michigan's expenses on the mining
companies. The details of the bill are
not fully settled, but the exemption
clause will be repealed and the specific
taxes largely increased.

announcing the death of General Sher-

ator Hawley Comm rose and offered
resolutions reciting the profound sor-
row of the Senate at the announcement,
and renewing that body's acknowl-
edgment of the inestimable services
which he rendered to his country in the
day of its extreme peril, lamenting the
great loss which the country has sus-
tanned and deeply sympathizing with his
family in its bereavement. The reso-
lutions were adoped unanimously, and
the presiding officer was requested to
appoint committee of five Senators to
attend the funeral of General Sherman
The names of the committee were not

WHAT DID JONES MEAN?
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR The
COURTS TO DECIDE.
The Providence Art Club Claims Be
quest of $4,000, and the supreme
Court VIII Decide Whether It's Claim
Is Well Founded-An Important Case.

What did the late Albert j. Jones, who
died In Florence, Italy, two years ago,
mean when in his will he left s25,OOO Tor
some worthy art institution
What did he mean by an art institution
Was IL museum of art or an institute
where art is taught, with museum as an
auxiliary?
This is the question which the Supreme
Court is to decide. The matter has been
in court ever since the death OF the tes-
tator, but has never been satisfactorily
settled.
BY his will the late Albert J. Jones left
S25, 900 to be given some worthy art instl-
tute. The Providence Art Club laid claim
10 the donation, and the Rhode Island
School Of Design also insists that II has. the
best claim on il.
The question was up before the Supreme
Court to-day, when Mr.. Greeley appeared
on behalf of the Art Club to press its claim
and William Baker was there 10 prove to
the court that the School of Design was
the proper place for the Jones art bequest
10 20.
Mr. Greeley argued that by the term
art institute is meant museum OF art,
where thesmasterpieces of artists are on
public exhibition this, he said, Is Just
what the Providence Art Climb is, while
the Rhode Island School Of Design is only
a school where drawing is taught.
Mr.. Bakers argument was that there Is
"a vast difference between an art insti-
tute and an art museum. The term
school Of design does not mean simply
that designing is taught there, but should
be taken in its broader meaning, the inter
probation which artists give TO IT, VIZ, an
art institute where the mechanical and
fine arts are taught and where there is
also museum Of art, a display OF the
work of artists. All the big art institutes
in the world are just what the Rhode
Island School of Design is. The majority
of them are known as academies and
schools of design, and yet nobody would
deny that they are art institutes. He
thought that the Rhode Island School of
Design was just the kind of an art insti-
tute that Mr.. Jones intended TO benefit
when he left that SIS, coo in trust.
