Meetings OF the Athen3eum Assoc
citation and Library Board.
Yesterday afternoon, for the first
time in two years, the AthenGum asso-
citation had quorum Of stockholders
present for its annual meeting. AL
though owning about $4,000 worth Of
the property in the public library build
ipg. the AthenRum association is a
separate corporation. Some complaint
has been made that the affairs OF the
Athenaum are managed by clique, a
circle within a circle, as it were, and it
is said that the old officers would have
been as well satisfied had no quorum
shown up yesterday. However, the old
officers were reelected. 1t was hoped
that DR.. j. K. Hosmer. the librarian.
would be elected a director, inaSmuch
as his predecessor, Putnam, was di-
rector But he was not elected. G. q.
Goodrich, who seldom attends meetings
of the board, was chosen in
his place. The officers of the
Athen@um association now are: j.
L. Bell, president; Samuel Hill,
vice president; E. c. Whitney, secre-
tarv; Q. Nee. Reeve, treasurer; DR.. A.
G. FairbOurn. c. II. Petit and c. Il.
Goodrich, directors. During the past

Athenaum and Library Board
Meetings--H aZelton-Riv-
EFT Case.

On Monday afternoon a telephone
message was received at police head
quarters stating that a woman had at
tempted suicide at COS Fourteenth
avenue south. Police Surgeon
Gibson repaired to the place,
but could find no such num-
Der, nor anything to warrant such
message. 1t turns out that the address
was COS Twelfth avenue south, and that
the woman in question was Miss Jen-
HE Young. She had no intention of
committing suicide, but took dose of
medicine prescribed by a physician,
who, she said yesterday to GLOBE re-
porter, had been engaged by her to per
form a criminal operation.
A deplorable state of affairs was dis
covered by the reporter. The number
indicated above is that of a candy store
operated by Miss Young and another
woman, the latter grass widow with
a small child, who has been suffering
from the Group for several days,
yet has had no medicine or med
zeal attention. All day Monday
Miss Young lay on her bed
writing in agony and nophySician was
called 10 relieve her. A druggist, whose
place of business is on Seventh street
south, learned of the condition of af-
fairs, and yesterday morning telephoned
TO Dr. Friedlander, who, according to
the story of Miss Young, was her physi-
elan. He said he had nothing to do with
the case except that he had been called
in as an emergency DOCTOR" During
the forenoon, however, he called, but
left no medicine. The widow in fit of
anger took her child and left the place.
There was no one to care for the sick
woman, and had not several of the
ncighborS dropped in it ls likely Miss
Young would have died.
Complaint was made to the police
yesterday afternoon and the case will
be investigated. If Miss Young dies,
some one responsible for the opera
ton performed OH her will be prose-
cuted. The druggist referred to has in
his possession the prescription sent
there by physician for Miss Young,
which Will in itself prove excellent tes-
timony. The young woman stated yes
terday that the medicine that did the
work and caused her so much pain was
in the form of pills. She had number
of them left and showed them to the re-
porter.

BUTLER SAVED BY PRAYER
A Provision of the Faculty Which
Stood Him in Good Stead.

A Provision of the Faculty Which
Stood Him in Good Stead.
Now that Gen. Buffers familiar form
has gone from us. says Boston paper.
"reminiscences of his boyhood days be-
fore his indomitable will and courage
had won for him the fame of his man
hood days are in order. Among Others
the following amusing story is told OF
mis- college life:
ben" received his college education
in Colby, and is remembered in Water
vile as a good natured, studiouS youth
and rather fond Of a joke.
One day there came to that small
Maine village jeweler from Boston,
who started a shop in the neighborhOod
of the college. He had rather a good
opinion of himself,a and by his arrogance
managed to bring upon his well-greased
head the ire of the college boys.
One night his sign disappeared, and
the jeweler, suspecting the colleglans,
complained to the faculty, and search
of the college dormitory was immedl-
ately instituted.
AS luck would have it "Ben" was the
guilty youth, and hearing the faculty
making the rounds, and having the
sought-for sign on the wall of his room,
with its flaring letters staring him i'll the
face, the affair looked rather serious.
But his quick wit came to his rescue,
and hastily kindling fire he thrust the
sign into the crate and smiled at his
own ingenuity. But, alas the sign was
tough and.burned all too slowly, while
the search party could be heard draw
ing nearer and nearer. What was to be
done?
Suddenly there popped into Ben's
mind regulation of the faculty, in the
terms of which it was forbidden that a
Students room should be entered for
any purpose whatsoever while its occu-
pant was engaged i'll prayer. SO, drop
ping on his knees behind the door, Ben
commenced long petition, telling his
roommate to tend the fire and to pull his
coat tails when all vestigeS OF the jew
eler's sign had disappeared.
Soon steps were heard in the hall,
which stopped in front of his room.
| What was that that reached them
through the keyhole? A voice raised in
earnest prayer. seeking forgivnesS for
! sins in the past, present and future, for
| blessings on those present and those
who would fain be within. Meantime
| the sign was slowly but surely burning,
| While the labor of his eXertlOnS was
bringing out the perspiration on Ben's
brow.
The faculty waited with bowed heads
for the conclusion Of his apparently in
| terminaDle prayer.
At last it came, and at the following
words the door was opened, exposing
! the pious inmates just rising from theil
knees:
land an unrighteous generation shall
seek sign, but no sign shall be given
! them"

Cardinal Gibbons and Arch
bishop Corrigan Explain
the Formers Letter.
The Matter Referred to Re-
lated to the Pope's Golden
Jubilee.
Results Of the Arehbishop's
Conference Reported by
Mgr. Satolli.
Satolli Considering an Amend
ment to Prohibit Seeta-
rian Appropriations.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 7.-Referring to
the dispatch from Chicago alleging that
Cardinal Gibbons purposely withheld
the letter which he was deputed to for
ward to the pope in the name of the
archbishops of this country until the
appointment of the apostolic delegate
had been announced. the Catholic Stand
ard of today says editorially:
His eminence, the cardinal, and the
most reverend archbishop OF New YORK
are both in Philadelphia at the present
time and we may have their JOINT au-
thorily for declaring this latest story to
be wholly without foundation as re-
CARDS its facts and its ugly inslnua-
tions. Archbishop Corrigan is
especially indignant 81 at this
gross imputation upon his emlnence,
and he utterly repudiated and abhors
the scandalous publication. The facts
are simply these: The letter-not the
'report'-whlch the cardinal was depu-
ted to send to the holy father in the
name of the American archbishops re-
lated to two SubjectS-one TO his
holiness golden jubilee, and the
other the recent conference in
New York. The former event is
to be celebrated Oh the 10th
of this month. while the proceedings OF
the conference had been already OIL
ciaIly communicated to his holiness by
the secretary of the conference, Bishop
ChapeIle. The reasonable
Delay in Transmitting
the cardinals letter, which has already
been explained, could have no effect
whatever, therefore, in hindering or
furthering the purpose OF the latter,
and that there was any such motive 1or
the delays as is alleged is certainly and
absolutely false"
The explanation referred to in the
editorial is substantially this: At the
close of the archiepiScopal conference IN
New York in November last, the as
Sembled prelates concluded to send a
joint letter to the holy father congratu-
lating him upon his approaching golden
jubilee, and touching upon other sub
jectS relating to their conference. This
letter was to be formulated by
the cardinal and Archbishop Cor
rigan. and by the former
forwarded to Rome. Being formal
letter to the supreme head of the church
it could not be prepared with the same
dispatch as business letter, but was
subject to such delay as frequent eX-
change of the original draft between
New York and Baltimore made unavoid-
able. The final draft was not agreed
upon until the 1st of January. when
Archbishop Corrgan sent it to the
cardinal, who mailed 1t to Rome on
Jan. 4. The reference to Mgr.
Satolli is disposed of when it is remem-
bered that the latter, shortly after the
adjournment of the conference, Off
cially reported to the Vatican the sub.
stance OF the result of the archbishops'
declarations, ana that fully month
before Cardinal Gibbons letter reached
Rome the holy father knew exactly the
opinion of the metropolitanS OF the
United States on the proposition to es-
tablish a permanent apostolic delegation
for this country.

PRIOR.
A Versatile Elan Who Had Many
Qualifications for Diplomat.

"A Versatile Ian who Had Many
Qualification for Diplomat.
The Athen@um.
Prior had several qualifications for
diplomatic work. Though he must
sometimes have been hampered by his
humble origin, he never failed to main
tain the dignity of his official position.
His special knowledge of commerce. his
readiness. his humor. his fuencY in
French, his familiarity with Horace "a
useful accomplishment iii the Au-
GUSTAV age) and even zee visage
de bois," as Bolingbroke called
it, must often been of service to him.
But Prior's life when he had the honor
of representing Queen Anne at the
French court was not happy. His letters
during that period show that he was
uneasy about the prospects of his party,
and felt his own position to be insecure.
In those days, moreover, the British
government was not Il good paymaSter;
generals had sometimes to find money
from their own pockets to pay their
often in arrear. When the crash came
Prior found himself IN an unfortun-
ate plight. He was looked coldly on
both by the new administration
and by his own party. 1t was stated
that he had made revelations, and it
was even supposed that his indiscretion
was the cause of Boingbroke's ill
judged flight. For this malicious report
there is, so far as we know, no trust
worthy foundation.

DICK THOMPSON ILL.
The Venerable Hoosier Politician
Confined to His Room at
Terre -Haute.
lie Will Be Unable to Appear Be-
fore the Panama Inyestiga-
ton Committee.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. IA special
from Terre Haute says that eX-Secre-
tary Thompson has been positively for
hidden by his physician to leave his
room. He was last outside the house
two weeks ago, when he tainted in
his carriage and was brought home in
an apparently dying condition. DIR.
Young fears pneumonia. and says if it
occurs it will almost certainly
prove fatal Under these con-
dtions it is absolutely out OF
the question for Col. Thompson
to even think of going to Washington
to testify in the Panama investigation.
Speaking Of the latest story from Paris
of preliminary 100000 francs
fund sent to America before
Gen. Thompson took the chair
manship of the American COM
mittee and which fund is not accounted
for, Col. Thompson says he knows moth
ing of such fund. If it came, it came
while De Lesseps was in this country.
He does not believe such fund was
sent over, though he says he knows
nothing of the company's affairs pre-
viouS to the organization of the Amer
lean branch. So far as he knows the
canal funds were all over in Paris, and
there were no French and American
separate funds. The New York bankers
merely cashed the American orders and
then sent them over to France to be col
lected. 81 PROPOSE" said Col. Thomp-
son, THAT the members of the
American congress, those who are
living of the twenty members
of the two house committees
that passed upon the Monroe doctrine
rest in 1881. when this alleged bribery is
supposed to have taken place, shall be
given chance to testify. Some Of them
are dead and cannot defend themselves,
but those who are living can. What

The Fun Has Commenced.

The kickerS have already commenced
their warfare on the Republican ad
ministration. Yesterday John Paulson,
the we'll known insurance man. called
upon the mayor and demanded that one
of his proteges, Mr.. Thorkelson. be
appointed to position on the police
force. Inasmuch as MI. ThorkelSon is
fifty-three years of age, and therefore
unfit for active police duty, the mayor
declined to appoint him. Then MI. Paul
son asked that lie be given a position
in the municipal court. This, how
ever, would be unfair discrimination
against the old members of the police
department who have worked for pro-
motion. No place. therefore, could be
found for him there. MIR. Paulson left
the city hall rather wrathy. lie repre-
sents the Danish Republicans of the
Sixth ward, who feel that they are being
sighted.

native work would do. Custom renders
it derogatory to them to handle any i'm
plement heavier than hair pencil, aud
what is necessary to be done by officials
is simply intruSted to their servants.
At the head Office things are scarcely
better. The directors are men who have
been forced into an unWelcome position,
who have no feeling for the substantial
success of the railway, and no apprecla-
ton of workmanlike excellence but
who are always ready to listen
to any dilettante who can talk
specifically OF velvet and varnlsh
and show from illustrated adver-
tisements in what respect the Chinese
trains come short of some ideal Brighton
express or Philadelphia flier, especially
when the glib foreign gentleman hints
at the profuse fabrication which rail-
way promotion demands IN other coun-
tries, and which is only compatible
with lavish cost.

LOTS OF FUN
When the Fire Department Inves-
tigatiOn Begins.

When the Fire Department Inves-
tigatiOn Begins.
1t has not been decided yet when the
first meeting of the fire department in
vestigating committee will be held, but
it is understood that the happy event
will occur within a few days. There
promises to be some lively matter when
the investigation is under full way, for
the discharged firemen will be asked to
tell what they know OF the workings Of
the department and why they were let
out. With perhaps one exception, the
men discharged were the cream OF the
department and it will be hard indeed
for Chief Runge or his aStute advisor,
Aid. Woodward, to prove they were in
competent.
The committee is composed Of men
who will allow no prejudiceS to stand
in the way OF Il thorough investigation.
They propose to probe the affair to the
bottom, and it will be alack aday for
Chief Runge and Little Woody if it is
discovered the firemen we're discharged
for political purposes. Among other
matters that will be looked into is the
affair of the painters who were dis
charged from the department paint
shop. The quality Of varnish, the prices
paid for it and the reason why certain
dealer is given all the contracts. when
his prices are higher than those of
other dealers, will bs sifted through.
There is no doubt til ere will be glo-
rious time when this committee begins
active work.

HAZELTON'S SIDE.
Celia Rivett Given a Rather Bat

Celia Rivett Given a Rather Bad
Character by Several Witnesses.
Yesterday, the fourth day of the
HaZelton trial, larger crowds were pres
ent than at any previous day. Hazel
ton himself was again called to the
stand by the defense, and reiterated his
former statements regard his visit to
the Monaco. He was aSkeu if he was
positive that he went there on the
evening of the 2Sth instead OF the
18th. He replied that he WAS. Teddy
BIaylocker, of st, Louis, was called to
the stand and testified to an acquaint-
ance with Celia, having called at 2lS
West Seventh street, where she was
ro0mIng with two other girls. He had
called with friend of his, and after
wards had called several times alone.
He testified to remaining alone all
night with Celia in these apartments, i'll
which there was but one bed.
Ben Bowman was called. Ben had
lived in Minneapolis for the past thir-
teen years, was married and knew
Celia we'll, having made her acquaint-
ance in 1890. She had remained all
night with him one night in his rooms in
the Elliot block, he said, and on that
night had told him that she had been
seduced by Charlie Leslie. He also
thought she drank beer and smoked
cigarettes.
Jack Raspberry. of st. Paul, was put
upon the stand and testified to Celia'S
generally loose character. He had
picked up All acquaintance with her On
the street, and had visited at her rooms
on West Seventh street several times.
Oscar Feuster was also called and
told of an acquaintance with Celia made
in the way as had been Raspberry's.
lie said that she drank beer, told ''hard-
luck stories," and that the conversa-
tons OF the three girls when he had
called at their rooms were generally
smutty.
The testimony for the defense closed,
and then Celia, Mrs. S. j. Thomp-
son, the woman with whom Celia had
boarded while at st. Anthony Park on
certain dates in controversy, and James
Cooper, the waiter at the Monaco, were
called in rebuttal. In her testimony
Celia denied in its entirety the story
told by Hazelton regarding the night at
the Monaco, ana also denied ever know
ing Teddy, of st. Louis, or the St. Paul
men mentioned. Today the case will be
argued probably and will go to the jury
late in the afternoon.

parents called at police headquarters
and requested The assistance of the po-
lice to lind their children. The girls
are about fifteen years of age. 1t is
thought they have gone to Chicago, for
they were seen at the union depot in the
afternoon, presumably for the purpose
of purchasing tickets. Mr.. Schroeder
keeps a restaurant at 317 Washington
avenue north, and Nj. Koegel conducts
a similar establishment under the Col
