RANK OF THE LIBRARY.
Its Relation to the Free Libraries
of the Country.

In accordance with instructions issued
to him at the last meeting Of the board,
Librarian Hosmer yesterday presented
to the library board comparative
statement showing the relation the Min
neapolis library bears to the free public
libraries of the country in point OF size,
etc. The last annual report of Herbert
Putnam, the old librarian, shows that
the total disbursements of the Mime
apOliS library for the past year, ending
Jan. l, were S73, 943.S9. OF that amount
S27, 800 was paid on the debt, and the
balance went for running expenses.
The circulation of the library
279, 1913 volumes, daily average of 903
volumes. During that year $685. vol
umes were added to the library and
1924 cards were issued. During the
same time between 10000 and $4,000
reference books were issued. Accord
ing 70 the figures collated by Librarian
Putnam, Minneapolis ranks sixth
among the free public libraries of the
country in the number of books in the
library. 1t is preceded by Baltimore,
Chicago, Newark, Cleveland and To-
rontO. In point of number of books
purchased during the year, Minneapolis
ranks third; in amount paid in salaries,
second; in point of total running eX-
penses, second; in circulation eXclu-
slve of books of reference, fifth. Prof.
Oftedal was of the opinion that the ref
erence books should be counted as
part of the circulation, the same as in
other libraries.
A long petition, headed by James Fl.
Bradish, and signed by many others,
was presented to the board. asking that
a branch library be established at the
corner of Central avenue and Twenty
fourth avenue northeast. The board is
not ready to establish any more branches
Just yet, so took no action Oh the petit
ton. William Lucas, of the Minneap-
oils Smelling company, presented to the
library book on the ferns of Great
Britain for which lie paid $1,000. The
matter of providing new quarters for
the North side branch was referred.
The medical society has raised 500. and
the board will give an equal amount for
buying medical periodicals for the
library.

fitted up comfortably, If not deliberately
and main tanned as the permanent Demo
cratic h eadQuarters of the city. The
gentlemen who form the Democratic
league will assume all responsibility
and expense, and for revenue will as
sess the different Democratic clubs
which desire to occupy the hall. BY
this way the headquarters will be estab-
lished, and remain thing of beauty
and joy forever. When the matter was
preached last night great deal of en-
thuSiasm was manifested, and 1T was
agreed on all sides that the project was
a grand one. The organization will be
Incorporated under the laws of the
state, and all partizanship, in so far as
individual clubs are concerned, will be
thing unheard of. Petty Jealousles
and internecine club wars will thereby
be avoided and peace and harmony
reign supreme.
A committee consisting of Mayor
Winston, James w. Lawrence, c. Nj.
Foote and G. +. Wheeler was appointed
to canvass for subscriptions and arrange
for the details of organization. From
subsequent Developments, it is certain
tn at this committee will not find their
task a very difficult one. The subscrlp-
ton was started right in the club, and
III few moments nineteen influential
Democrats and business men had
affixed their names to the paper. Fol-
lowing is the list: Mayor Winston, G..
NJ. FOote, j. w. Lawrence, Bernard
Cloutier, Ralph Reese, G. G.. Jacoby,
Howe Paige, A. S. Dowdall, Joseph
Jepson, County Attorney Than, w. ID.

A committee consisting of Messrs.
Ledgerwood, Blocker and Paige, was
appointed to lay the matter before the
Cleveland club at its meeting tonight.
MeSSrs. Cameron, Allison and JacOby
were chosen to breach the subject to
the North Star club of the Eighth ward,
which holds its meeting next Friday
evening.
The election of officers of the Jeffer-
son club proved a harmonious piece of
business. The nominations for presi-
dent were j. w. Lawrence, Bernard
Cloutier and F. c. Brooks. The latter
two gentlemen withdrew their names
and Mr.. Lawrence was unanimously
elected. Howe Paige was elected vice
president and q. E. McAllister secretary.
G. M. FOOte was the unanimOuSch choice for
treasurer. On mOLlOn OF Joseph JepSOn
it was decided that two guards were
necessary, and in order to give c. A.
Quist an office-he was defeated by Nc
Allister for the secretaryShip-he was
placed in nomination with Wilkes King
and both were elected. QuiSt objected
to being sandwiched down as an ordin-
airy guard, but the club insisted, so he
was duly recorded as such in the secre-
tary's books. The following executive
committee was appointed:
First ward, John Norton; Second,
Hugh Butler: Third, Hugh Jennings;
Fifth, j. w. Tamm; Sixth, Alfred Oh

GATHERING OF THE CLANS"
1t Was a Notable Entertainment
and Pageant.

"The Gathering of the Clans" packed
the Lyceum theater last night, and the
entertainment deserved larger house
could more people have been packed
away. Nothing like it has ever
been seen in Minneapolis before.
The entertainment opened with a
selection of Scottish airs by
Danz's orchestra. Chief William Don
aldson, of the Caledonian club, made a
few Introductory remarks. and chorus
of eco voices sang 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner" Music by the piper followed.
and the curtain lose on a tableau or ma
tions represented by 200 young ladles.
The chorus sang 'Scots VIVA
Haze WIZ Wallace Bled," and the
clans began to gather from tne
mounts aims and form i'll battle
array. Another chorus was followed
bv an international AmaZonian march.
Twelve little girls, dressed as Kate
Greenaways. danced, and the curtain
fell. 1t rose after an overture, showing
the clans at rest in the mountains.
Four little girls danced the Shaun
Trews. Miss Susie Mckay sang, and
eight little girls danced the baby ballet
to the air of 'Peek-a-boo." Eight
young ladies danced the Irish Patti
META, and sixteen did likewise with
the Inverness reel. Fourteen children
danced the sword dance. The pibroch
o. Donald Dhu was sounded on the
pipes. and forty children danced the
Highland fling. Sixteen young ladies'
danced sailors hornpipe. Prof. j. A:
Walker danced the Highland fling, and
gave the sword dance as an encore. A
German dance, an Irish dance and
Scotch reel followed. Then came
the dance that made the hit
of the evening-an Irish jig
in character by little Margaret McCur-
ran, as the old woman, and Belle Malm-
stedt as the old man. Another chorus.
a gypsy dance, a sailors hornpipe and
a plantation dance followed, and the
pageant closed with the clans ascending
the mountains to the air of 'Auld Lang
Syne." The entertainment reflected
much credit upon the Caledonian CLUB
and upon Prof. j. A. Walker. the dl-
rector.

CONVENTION SOLOISTs.
Olive Fremstad, e. Bushnell and
Mrs. DOugherty Engaged.

Olive Fremstad, E. Bushnell and
Mrs. Dougherty Engaged.
The convention music committee has
arranged with the soloists who will APP
pear in the concert that will dedicate
the big hall on the evening of June 6.
AS heretofore announced, Miss Olive
Fremstad, now of New York. will be
ole of them. Miss Fremstad having
been a resident of Minneapolis, the fol-
lowing from the New Haven Evening
Register may be interest as showing
how she IS appreciated in the East:
"The charming young Norwegian
girl, Miss Olive Fremstadt, made her
debut before a New York audience at
one of SeidPs concerts last fall, and
New York went wild over her splendid
voice and presence. Recently she sang
there, taking Madam Scalchi's place,
who was i'll. and was received with APP
plause. The next day, the New York
press was unanimous in affirming that
a new star had dawned in the musical
world. Miss Frenstadt has voice of
unusual capacity for a contralto, the
meZZo- soprano notes of the upper regis
ter being of exceptional sweetness and
purity. 1t is her lower register that is
magniicently rich and full. and tells
powerfully IN such lines as 20 Rest in
the Lord" from the Elijah"
E. Bushnell, bassO, New York vocal
list, with quite a reputation as an
oratorio singer, will be another. The
soprano soIoist will be Mrs. Maggie
Nevins Dougherty, of Louisville. Ky.
She is not we'll known i'll the North,
but she enjoys an enviable reputation
as a singer in the Southern states.
The table to be used by the chairman
of the convention is now being made
by the pupils in the South Minneapolis
manual training school.
The California delegation will be
housed and fed in the Masonic Temple.
1t will have twelve or fifteen rooms on
the fifth floor.

suipe on Government Titles.

An interesting case involving the
ownership of properly valued at about
$4,000 came up yesterday in the dis
trict court. AS far back as 1865 Michael
Herbert. one of the pioneers Of the
Northwest, settled on piece of prop
erty OH the east side of the river, now
lying near Orth's brewery, and between
Third and Fourth streets and Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth avenues north
east. He died some years ago, and since
then his heirs. numbering seven sens
and daughters. have retained posses
sion. Ownership of the property is
claimed under the statute of limitations.
Suits have beeu brought to eject the
present possessors. The suits have been
brought by S. G. Gale, who claims own
ership of six lots, and j. l.. King, who
claims one. Their claims are backed by
papers, titles issued years ago by the
United States government.

May Not Rebuild.

The Minneapolis Sash and Door COM
pany has taken temporary quarters at
Nudd & Holmes office, and is transact
ing business the same as before the fire.
1t is not known whether the company
will rebuild the plant or not. The loss
on buildings and stock will be about
$4,000, as stated in the GLOBE yester-
day morning. Manager Bogart stated
yesterday that he was at loss to I'M
derstaDd how the fire originated. He
did not like to say it was incendiary, yet
certain things about it certainly looked
suspicious.
Two tiremen were badly injured dur
ing the ire. Bradley Williams, a pipe
man of Engine No. II. fell from a shed
and injured his hip, and John Barrett,
driver for Assistant Chief Kinney, was
hurt badly in the left eye.

Still at Swords Points.

The journeymen steam filters and
helpers are still on a strike. They held
several meetings yesterday at Labor
Temple and in the evening their bosses,
the Twin City Master Filters associa-
ton, met in the Builders Exchange
rooms, Boston block. The iourneymen
decided that any advance for settle
ment must first be made by the bosses,
who, they claimed, had misrepresented
them through the press. The Journey
men were unanimous in the sentiment
that it would be good thing to settle
the trouble and are perfectly willing to
meet the bosses in conference at any
time the latter may appoint.
At their meeting in the evening the
master filters discussed the situation
pro and con. They, too, are willing to
settle the difficulty, but no action was

Never Before Decided.

Yesterday an interesting case cams
up in the district court which has never
before been decided in this state. Over
a year ago c. A. Quist obtained judg-
ment against Il: {; d Hanson 9 in the mu-
his goods. j. b. Hanson then came
into court and swore that the goods
were his. and got a judgment against
Quist for 1905, which was paid. He
then brought suit against Quist claim
ing 81. los damages. The case came up
yesterday, and was dismissed on the
pleadings. The point was made that
man could not be sued twice for the
same cause. and his claim for damages
should have been made at the time and
been INCORPORATED in the former suit.
