TURNER'S MAKE MERRY,
They Celebrate theVictory of Theii
Fellow Members at Milwaukee,

They Celebrate theVictory of Their
Fellow Members at Milwaukee.
Good cneer. excellent oratory and an
enjoyable time followed and mingled
with each other other last night at
Turner hail. The occasion was ban
quet in honor of the Germana Turn
verein's victory at the turnfest held last
month at Milwaukee,, when The st. Paul
society mentioned carried off the second
prize in contest with $50 other societies.
Turner hall was decorated as never be-
fore with pictures of Father jain, the
pioneer in turning. and, others, and with
flags. bunting, great collection of live
oak. wild flowers. etc. Several long
tables were decorated with profusion
OF flowers and laden with appetiZing
edibles, while a Sideboard provided
plentiful supply of that amber fluid SO
much loved by the German American.
Near midnight the excellent lunch had
satisfied the appetiteS of the hundred or
so gentlemen present, and a season of
speechmaking began. Louis Stern
acted as tOastmaSter, and after making
speech ia his oratOrical vein, called upon
a number of gentlemen for speeches.
The responses were ready, and, aside
from the OratOrical features, were
freighted with excellent advice and
counsel to the members of the turn
verein and its friends. The general
tenor Of the speeches, aside from the
congratulations overthe success of the
Germania turnverein in securing the
prize, was to the effect that the work of
physical culture should be carried on
Faithfully, not only among adults. but
the younger generation. 1t was
thought that the advantages of
physical culture in the public schools
should be brought out more prominent
ly. and that it would he well to draw
public attention to the need of giving
more consideration to physical training.
Julius Hermann, the teacher of physical
culture in the society, was euiogized
and commended for the good work he
is doing in the society and the CON-
munity. Among those who made
speeches are Louis Stern, Prof. Julius
Hermann, j. Q. Haas. Max Toltz, Presi-
dent NJ. f. Propping, Paul e. Lenz.

RELIEF FOR THE DISTRESSED
Proposed Eating and Lodging
HouseS-Ald. FrankIin's I'M
practicable Plan.

A mass meeting will be held at Labor
hall Monday night TO discuss the statues
of the laboring people i'll these hard
times, and to suggest means to relieve
the distress of the people who are out
of work and are likely TO become a
charge upon the charity of the people.
A group of we'll known gentlemen
were discussing the same subject a few
evenings since in the lobby of the
Windsor. The group agreed that the
question is one that has room for
broad range of discussion, and will ex-
haust the wisdom of the city fathers in
an effective solution thereof. 1t was
said that it is ineXpedient for the city
to afford continuous work at remunera-
tive wages for the people who are now
out of employment in this city and are
likely to continue idle throughout the
winter.
Another OF the party declared that
the question must be met in all gravity
for the reason that the city will be
obliged TO afford more aid to families
than ever before in its history. The
expense of maintaining families separ-
ately, as has been the custom OF the
board of control in many instances, was
canvaSSed. 1t was suggested that it
might be good plan to secure q num-
Der OF large buildings. such as large
store buildings. that are vacant on
Third street aud in other parts of the
city, and make great tenement houses
of them. Such buildings have steam
plants and might be heated by steam at
nominal cost; provide a general
table of good wholesome food. Then
gather up the families that are
living in rented houses that are ex-
pensive to heat, and give them quarters
in such buildings. and let them eat at a
common table. 1t was thought that this
plan would reduce the cost of living to
few cents per capita per day. In such
case those who earn money occasionally,
but not enough TO maintain their fami-
lies i'll separate houses, might be taken
care of during the winter in COM
Portable way, and at but little cost to
the city or individuals. 1t is thought
that the per diem cost per capita need
not exceed 10 or 12 cents, and will op-
crate better as well as be cheaper to the
city than furnishing aid after the plan
now in vogue by the board of control.
Aid. Franklin, with an eye to the
coming election and also to the large
number of working men who will be In
need OF attention during the coming
winter, has prepared series of resOlu-
tIons looking to the appointment of
special council committee to arrange for
the relief of the unemployed. The
charter provides that SlO.OU0 may be set
apart each year to be used for the best
interests of the city. Last year the
$4,000 was given to the committee
having in charge the Great Northern
celebration. This year $1,000 of the
amount has been appropriated in equal
amounts to the Press club and the COM
mittee having in charge the reciprocity
convention. This leaves S9.OU0 still in
The fund, and it is this amount viii ch

out OH the platform.
The owner of the bundles was boil

chicken ley, tidgeted around, and when
the conductor came inside again she
said:

lutions were prepared by the alderman

leave this city in search of work, and
Whereas, Winter is fast approaching,
and, ii the present business depression
continues, will bring with it suffering
and privation to large number of our
citizens, thus making it necessary and
desirable for the public bodies to make
some provision to mitigate and relieve
the burdens Of the unemployed; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That committee of six be
appointed, three from the board of alder
men and three from the assembly, for
the purpose of investigating:

Eight members of the board of alder
men attended a special meeting yester-
day afternoon. The object OF the session
was to pass the July pay rolls for the

HER MIND o'ERrHROWN.

Pitiable Plight OF an Iowa Wom-
an With a Maynard son.
A question as to the sanity of Mrs.
Harriet Clark Turney has been raised
aud Drs. Woolway and Marchand, who
have been appointed by the probate
court for the purpose. are considering
her ailments. They went to the Home
for the FriendlesS yesterday and made
an examination. and will make further
investigations as TO her condition to-
morrow AMI report to the probate court
what action they deem advisable. Mrs.
Turney came to this city recently from
Des Moines, To-, and, because of delu-
sions and eccentricitieS, was taken to
the Home for the Friendless on Collins
street. Her mind is supposed to be at
fected by troubles some years ago with
her son, Chester Clark Turney. who
was sentenced to the Iowa penltentiary
for seventeen and half years for
larceny, but was pardoned by the
governor of Iowa after serving
a little over four years OF his term.
Mrs. Gurney says she came 20
this city to secure a publisher for a
book she has prepared showing the con-
duet OF prisons. She tells weird story
as TO the persecution of her son, whom
she declares was railrOaded into the
penitentiary. Her story is TO the effect
that her son was sentenced without the
fUrmality of jury trial. The judge who
sentenced him was afterwards i'm
peached by the legislature tor his course
in the trial of her son. She says that the
boy was attached to the Iowa tribune
when it was run as greenback organ
by eX-CongreSsmdn Gillette. While
there the wife of the proprietor became
infatuated with him 10 sucu an extent
that il caused the separation Jf MIR. and
Mrs. Gillette. This infatuation lasted
while the boy was in prison, and after
his release he was given a position in
the composing room of the Tribune.
While in this position the persecution
of the boy continued. and he was sent
to a lonely cabin on farm belonging 10
Mrs. Gillette, where he is still staying
and not permitted to leave.
