PUTNANi'S LAST.
His Successor Was Almost Sc
cured, but Not Quite.

his Successor Was Almost Sc
cured, but Not Quite.
Tonight Herbert Putnam, public
librarian, will bid adieu to Minneapolis,
and the library will be in charge of the
board for while until a successor to
Mr.. Putnam has been elected. The fact
that Mr.. Putnam will leave the city to-
night was made the occasion for little
love feast at the meeting of the board
yesterday afternoon. Although he will
leave the city and the library building,
Mr.. Putnam will remain in the employ
of the library board until the 1St of Jan
uary. The board decided yesterday that
the three branch libraries should have
more books of the standard order, such
as fiction and history. Each branch
wants about 1900 volumes. Mr.. Put
nam will go East commissioned to pur-
chase those books for the branches. AS
many as possible of them will be bought
secondhand. 1t is expected that about
$4,000 will be spent in this purchase.
Mr.. Putnam will make his annual re-
port to the board from the East, the
same as if he were in Minneapolis.
That matter settled, the library commit
tee reported the usual set of resolutions,
expressing sorrow at the loss of Mr..
Putnam to the board. 1t was stated
that his resignation was accepted with
reluctance, and with thanks to him for
the good work he had done for the
board. In reply Mr.. Putnam stated that
he wanted it distinctly understood his
resignation was not the outcome of any
dissatisfaction with the board or the
way it has treated him. Personal and
domestic reasons alone compelled him
to sever his connection with the board.
He was sorry that he could say, as the
ministers always say when leaving an
old charge, that he was summoned to
higher field Of usefulness. He did not
believe there was higher field than
working for reading community like
Minneapolis.
The library committee had no name
to report as a successor to Mr.. Putnam.
1t thought it had found the right man in
Horace Capehart, of the Mercantile
Library of st. Louis, but Minneapolis
could not get him. The committee
asked, and was given further time. The
committee also asked for and received
information from the board as to just
the kind OF man that is wanted for
librarian. The board wants to get
man who has had library training if
possible, other things being equal. But
such man must have some business
ability, and must be good man morally.
AS stated by the GLOBE yesterday, the
board has consigned the care of the
librarians work to the library commit
tee, with the recommendation that Prof.
Oftedal, the 1 chairman, take extra pains
to see that nothing is left undone.
1t was voted to let teachers in private
schools, including the parochial schools,
have the same privileges as to drawing
hooks as are pniOVpd nv the Oublip
ing committee to appoint a subcOmmit-
tee to look after the examination and
hanging of paintings that may come to
the art gallery; also to build some cases,
at a cost of $500, for the reception of the
Mehage collection of specimens from
the PHILIPPINE islands. The committee
will meet again on the 18th to pass the
pay roll.

YOUNG BLOOD vICToRIoUs.
1t Prevented an Increase in the
MINNEAPOLIS Club Annual Dues.

The Minneapolis club held it's annual
meeting last night 1t was expected that the
building committee would be ready to make
report on the new club house. The COM
mittee was not ready. The architect of the
clubs new home was present. He as
sured the members of the club that
the house will be ready for occupancy by the.
LIST of January. The club will move in a
little after that time. The most interesting
discussion of the evening was in relstiou.to
a proposition to raise the dues. The annual
dues of the club are now $50. Some of the
old exclusive members of the organization
expire ed desire to put the dues up TO 500.
They want to make the club more aristo-
cratic. They are afraid that too many
young men who like a good time and
who are prone to make the club house
place of sociability are able to
pay dues of $50 year, bat would be frozen
out If the dues were increased. They
also urged that the increase was needed for
the clubs revenue. The young blood of the
club prevailed. There were enough of
them, and they were able to talk loud enough
to convince the older members that an at
tempt 10 raise the dues would result only in
failure. The matter did not come to a vote

He Returns From the East and
Tells What He Saw and Heard.
Maj. Hale returned yesterday from an
extended Eastern trip, during which he
has visited the postoffices of all the
larger cities. On being questioned last
evening as to his plans for handling the
avalanche of mail, which is expected to
descend upon Minneapolis during the
national Republican convention. he
said:
"Of course it is altogether too early
for me to be able to give you the de-
tails of my plans now, but suppose we
will manage it in the same manner that
the other cities have during previous
conventions. An Office will be estab-
lished at the exposition building and
directory kept to show the addresses of
the visitors. have looked into this mat
ter sOmewhatdurlngm my trip and do not
anticipate any great difficulty, although
we expect to have to handle a great
food of mail and to have our hands full
during the entire time of the conYen-
ton.
On being asked how the selection of
Minneapolis had been received in the
East, Maj. Hale said:
'The Eastern people were greatly
surprised to see frontier town, as they
regard Minneapolis, walk III and capture
the convention; but, although the New
York people were slightly chagrined at
being defeated, the selection seems to
be generally satisfactory, and the pre-
vailing sentiment throughout the East
is OF friendliness toward this city,"

Aid. Bradish Leaves the City, and
Causes a Hitch in the Proceed
ings.
Aid. Rollins special pump investi-
eating committee failed to meet as
scheduled yesterday morning, owing to
the inability of Aid. Bradish to be pres
ent; and. as Mr.. Bradish has left the
city for an indefinite term, the date of
the next meeting has not been settled.
AS the committee was just beginning to
get at the information which it has so
long sought, it is very unfortunate that
this hitch in the proceedings should oc-
cur. The statements made by Eugene
Tweedie at the meeting on Monday aft
ernOon were the most practical and
comprehensive that any witness has yet
furnished the committee, and. while
his opinions as to the relative merits OF
the various styles of pumping engines
may be prejudiced by greater familiarity
with another machine his testimony has
disclosed more accurate knowledge of
the true state of affairs at the pump
house than all the statements heretofore
made before the committee.

HE WAS TIRED OF LIFE.
Ill Health ana Business Troubles
Cause the Suicide of Homer ID.
Latimer


Homer ID. Latimer, formerly a prominent
business man of this city, died yesterday
morning at o'clock at his residence, 1904
Washington avenue south. from the effects
of dose of morphine taken on Monday
evening with suicidal intent. Mr.. Latimer
lived with his wife and son at the above ad-
dress, and for some time past has been in
very i'll health. OF late he has been very
RESPONDENT, and his suicide is attributed
solely 20 this fact.
Monday evening he was unable to sleep,
and sat up writing letters. About II o'clock
he kissed his wife and went to bed. and it is
supposed that he took the fatal dose Just be-
fore retiring. His wife was awakened by his
heavy breathing. and, finding him uncon-
scious, went for Drs. Linn and Hanscom, who
worked over him until morning but without
avail, for at O'Clock he passed away without
regainlng consciousness. He left a letter for
his wife, stating that he was tired of life ana
wished to end IL, and another tor Dr. Linn,
in which he said:
''Y Oh may be called before | am dead, but
1 hope not until am beyond your reach. If
possible, manage the affair so that INV body
shall not fall into the hands of the coroner
Deceased leaves three children; two by a
former wife and one. boy nine years old. by
his present wife. His eldest son is in bust
ness at Clear Lake, and the second is with
his grandmother in Ohio. AT one time Mr..
Latimer was member of the firm of Brown,
Moore d Latimer. proprietors of the Mime
apolis Paper Mill company. After dlspos-
ing OF the interest he moved 10 Clear Lake,
but returned here some five years ago, whe re
he has since resided. He was about fifty
years of age.
The case was reported Coroner Byrnes who
decided not to hold an inquest, the testimony
OF Drs- Linn ana HanscOm being sufficient
to establish the IF death

A Worthless VIII.

20 per cent commission for a law bust

he turned over the business, but Nc
Dowell failed to pay him anything
hence he sues for 500. Mcdowell says
that the business that Rocks turned

not worth $50. 1t is delicate question
for the Justice to decide.

pie, and, in practiced hands, arose to the
plane of high art. Every cadet was sup
posed to make down his bedding after

tent was provided with a board floor that
in the plebe hotels, at least, was speedily

had one, and in his ''commissary comforter
