THE wooIEN's AUXILIARY,

woman as a Citizen

DR.. Locke Spoke to Them on
woman as a Citizen"
The yearly field day of the women of
the Episcopal church in this state was
yesterday. They met at Gethsemane
church, Minneapolis, at $3.50 in the
morning, when the communion was
celebrated, after which the meeting
was called to order. There were pres
ent large number of we'll known cler-
gymen, who had come to hear the
speeches. Rt. Rev. Bishops Whipple
and Gilbert, Rev. DR.. j. Wright, G. ID.
Andrews, w. G.. Pope, j. Mills, A.
Jukes, &. HiXon, G. MOySes, A. Alexan-
der, j. j. Faude, f. r. Millspaugh, j.
Prosser, A. j. Graham. w. Holmes,
William Wilkinson and others were
among them. The Women's auxiliary,
OF which this is part, is one of the
most influential organizations of the
church. 1t has branches in every do
cese land has raised millions of dollars
andSpread abroad accurate information
in regard to the missionaries in every
part of the world. The principal speaker
was Rev. DR.. Lock, from Grace church,
Chicago, on woman as Citizen" 1t
was strong plea for the best possible
work woman can do for the state, not in
the turmoil OF party strife, but in edu-
cation, i'll hospital work, in the home, in
the church. On the point of giving
women the ballot, he said:
NOW, as a matter of right, / can see
no reason why any government might
not allow women to vote. They certainly
are quite as we'll able to grasp the mer-
its or the dement's of the questions of
the hour as the rank and file of men. 1t
is absurd to say that q wild freshman. a
year or two in this country, knows one
tenth as much about right and
wrong legislation as nine out
of ten we'll educated American girls
The speaker then went on to show
that while this was so, there were grave
conslderat ions as TO whether the cOun-
try would not lose very much more
imam 1t would gain by permitting or en-
cOuragIng the elective franchise by
women, showing that there were MANY
ways i'll which woman could render
her country efficient service other than
by being hustled in crowd at ballot
box or shut up with recalcitrant Jurors.
lie was followed by Bishop Whipple.
His was an exquisite testimony to what
women have done for the church in
Minnesota. The offering was taken,
and the secretary stated that the
money raised in all was over
5000. Luncheon was then the order.
After that the ladies met for the pri-
vate session to take each their own par
ish for the winter. Boxes of useful
and, in some cases, elegant clothing
will be prepared and sent to the mis-
sonaries for personal use and distribu-
ton to needy cases. Last year $4,000
worth was sent from this diocesan
branch alone. The work done repre-
sents interest, personal service and
gifts. 1t helps out those to whom it is
sent in the most needy places. 1t is
not charity; it is sisterly help, and has

elected PRESIDENT; Mrs. Hector Baxter,

A Plant That Is Boycotted.

"There is" says horticuIturist,
hardly an instance in natural history
of plant so universally detested by the
animal world as the caster oil plant. No
sort OF bird, beast or creeping thing
will touch caster oil plant. 1t seems
to be rank poison to all the animal
world. Even goat will starYe
before biting off leaf, and a
horse will sniff at it and turn up his up
per lip as though it had been the most
detestable odor on the face of the earth.
Army worms and the locusts will pass
it by, though they may eat every other
green thing in sight, and there is no
surer way to drive moles away from
lawn than to plant few castor beans
here and there. Even the tobacco worm
will refuse to be fed on the leaves.

Plumbers at War.

In addition to its own troubles the
board of education has become involved
in a squabble between plumbers. Cody
81 Hineline recently took a contract to
furnish 10S water closets for the various
schools for the sum of $500, it being
specified that the "Sanitas" closet should
be used. Then finding it impossible to
make satisfactory terms with the deal
ers in this closet, Cody 81 Hineline in
fluenced the board to accept the Sym
phonia closet at $4,000. The representa-
tive of the ''Sanitas" concern came to
this city from Boston and made COM
plant to the building committee of the
board urging that the contractors be re-
CURED to furnish the "Sanitas" closet
as first agreed, and Cody IL Hinelne
replied charging the Sanitas firm with
unfair treatment. The committee de-
cided to let the Symphonic closet be
used.

BARNuM,s TRICKS.
How the Noted Snowman Once
Fooled Newspaper Man.

W. ]. Arkell tells the following story
OF himself: "Barnum fooled me once
pretty badly. He was up to all sorts of
tricks, and you could not keep too close
an eye upon him. l was in New York
one day at the time when l was pub
fishing the Albany Journal, when saw
story about Barnum in the Even
ing Post. 1t was something to
this effect, that Barnum was walking
around the show one day when he saw
young man attentively looking at the
pictures and seemingly much interested
asked him if he would like to have the
show explained to him. He said he
would, and the Snowman COX him the
entire round and gave him very
interesting talk about the features
of the show. When he got through
the young man said: And now, Mr..
Barnum, suppose you let me explain
the show to you.' Barnum assented,
and the young man took him around the
show and explained its features to him
with such perfect understanding that
Barnum was amazed. Young man. he
said. you know more about this bust
ness than any man 1 ever met. You
know more about it than | do. Will
you work for me" Yes, the young man
said. he would work for him. Il Will
give you $1,000 a year, said Barnum.
No, the young man would not work for
that. l will give you $780, SAID Bar
mum.
"'All righ,' said the young man. Il
will work for that

office, and Mr.. Barnum said to Mr..
Bailey: Il want you to put this young
man on the salary list at $500 year.

one, and l telegraphed to my editor in
Albany to use 1t the next day. Then |

to me just right, and, as l was passing
the Evening Post office, seeing young

idea. Hello. Godkin,' said /. what did
Barnum pay you for that story?'

story, too, but it was pretty clever ad-

Cutting Down Exnenses.

The park board has already begun to
reduce its running expenses. and as a
starter the committee on improvements
has decided to recommend a reduction
of four in the park police. which will
leave force of ten men. Seventeen of
the park laborers will also fall victim
to this spasm of retrenchment.
Supt. Berry was instructed to ascer-
tain and report to the board why the
artesian we'll at Loring park has sud

and also prepare estimates of the cost
of deepening the channel of Minnehaha
creek at certain points.

Berry was authorized to look into the
matter. He was also directed to seed
the Hepnepin avenue boulevard and

a cRONG COMPLAINT.
David KIinefeIter Alleges That He
Has Been Defrauded.

The Standard Menominie Brick COM
pany and Peter L. Simpson. Mary Cook.
Flora Cook, Ray Cook and Frank Cook
are made defendants in an action begun
by David Klinefelter, which may prove
more or less sensational before the end

the plaintiffs engaged in a conspiracy
to defraud him. He asks that certain
stock, which he alleges fictitious, be de-
clared VOID and Cancelled, and that there
be issued to him twenty shares of
good stock, worth 500 per share.
The name of the late Frank
lin Cook is also brought into
the case in very unpleasant manner.

being the plaintiff, Franklin Cook and
Peter l.. Simpson. In order to freeze

sold it to outside parties without re-
celving an equivalent therefor, sold its
property at ruinous prices. incurred
fictitious debts, all for the purpose of
making it appear that the company was
insolvent. Mr.. Klinefelter further al
leges that the defendants refuse to ac-
count to him for any of the money, and
also refuse to allow him to inspect the
company's book. The Cooks mentioned
are the heirs of Franklin Cook.

tiny miniature set In moOnStoneS in a

small brilliants. Twin hearts of moon
stones and turquoises are seen Oh many
of the handsomest specimens, while
others are embossed with the inevitable
silver fleur de lis. This fin de steele is
heightened by having narrow silver
ribbon wound about, to tie the triple
figure and descend in grac eful convolu-
lions and loops to catch the next flower

as to whether sufficient hotel accommo-
dations could be found in case the ma
tional Republican convention could be
secured for Minneapolis, and to set all
doubts at rest some of the promot-
ers of the scheme have been making
a few estimates. 1t is claimed that
a conservative estimate places the com
bined capacity of the hotels and board
ing houses of st. Paul and Minneapolis
at 1866 guests, without taking into
consideration any of the eXpediehts
which may be reSorted to in case in
creased accommodations are demanded.

notice Minneapolis could provide ac-
cOmmodations for 10000 visitors with

Minneapolitans Do Not Pay Poll

People who spend the summer at

argued some time ago, when they ar

because they refused to pay their poll
tax or work it out on the road. This de-
cision was made in the criminal branch
of the district court yesterday. Mr..
Wffitall, who acted for the entire party,
was put on trial with jury of six, and
the fun began: The officious officials
were heard and then Mr.. Whitall was
put on the stand. He swore that his
regular residence was in Minneapolis,
and it was there he paid his realty tax.
Judge Canty then instructed the jury to
bring in verdict for the defendant, on
the ground that he was not resident
of Maplewood, but of MINNEAPOLIS. 1t
is not probable that the case will go to
