PUBLIC OPINION.

The most important hearing
that the Senate finance committee
can give on the tariff bill is to the
demand of the country for faction,
action, action."-Louisville Cour-

That the resolution is proper in
itself and creditable to out govern

has ceased to be a matter of party
politics and becomes HISTORICAL

The Democratic majority in the
Senate owes it as patriotic SER

the country not to permit single
days needless delay in passing the
Wilson tariff bill. Amended or

WOMEN AND MONEY.
How Banks Cater to Fair Depos-
itors - Conveniences Provided
for Their Comfort.

itors Conveniences Provided
for Their Comfort.
| New York Herald:
There are half a dozen uptown
banks which do three-quarters OF
their business with women. Stu
ated in the residence and shopping
districts they are used for the
housekeeping and private purses
Of those women who have incomes
of their own or are paid quarterly
allowances by husbands or ia
theirs.
The old jokes about wOmen's in
ability 20 transact money matters
are scofTed at by the Off
Gals of those banks. They
say that women are much
more satisfactory depositors than
men, seldom if ever overdrawing
their accounts, and presenting their
books at regular intervals to be
written up.
The constant presence of ladies
has, however, neCessitated change
in the arrangement of the bank
building itself. One in particular,
in the heart of the shopping dis
trict, has had its ladies depart
ment" enlarged to accommodate
cOsey easy chairs and desks for the
comfort of its depositors, and just
by the side entrance is as dainty a
little dressing room as was ever
presided over by a busy, white
aproned attendant.
Every possible toilet accessory is
to be had here, from needles and
sill0of all colors to replace miss
ing button, to powder puffs and
manicure articles. A little tray of
hairpins is at hand, while whisk
brOOms, violet water and lavender
salts occupy conspicuous places.
And then the tempting arrange
ments for giving the hands or face
one little wash; an oval basin
sunk in spotless marble slab and
fed by shining faucets, and such a
pile Of snowy towels. These and
the cake of scented soap mutely
invite to remove the soil of shop
ping. In fact these cosy little con-
veniences do much to swell the
clientele of bank.
The attendant at this particular
bank says that the larger wom-
ans account, the more eccentric
she is in her methods of disposing
of it.
A year ago few women depositors
handled their money at all, max
ing payments by check and only
calling at the bank to make depos-
its or visit the safe deposit vaults.
Since the troubles last summer
they call regularly once week or
Oftener, draw what they need in
gold and carry it away in little
chamois bags fastened inside their
frocks. Some of the women after
counting their money at the pay
ing teller's desk, run into the dress
ing room, spread it on table and
go over it two or times. One rich
woman rolls her money into a tight |
Wad and thrusts it into her stock
ing; another ties hers in neat
brown paper parcel and bears it off
in triumph.

THE SENATOR APoLoGIZED.
Begged Colored Boys Pardon for

Begged a Colored Boys Pardon for
Unjustly Accusing Him.
New Y ork Herald.
Almost anybody can find it in
his heart to forgive the sudden
passion which emphasizes error
when it is followed by graceful ac-
acknowledgement and reparatiOn. !
was thinking of this as a friend
told me story about Senator But
Ter, of South Carolina. The Senator
was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He
came down from breakfast one
morning and went into the barber
shop for a shave. When he had
been duly polished up he reached
for his hat, dropped his usual liber-
al tip to "Boots" and went away.
But he returned Immediately. hat
in hand.
"Look here, boy" said he, "this is
not my hat"
The young colored man came
forward and looked at it. cts the
same hat you brought down sir
he said.
Tmpossiblew exclaimed the
senator, growing redder than usu-
al. 81 have got somebody else's
hat and somebody else has taken
mine"
ppm positive sir, that it is the
same hat you brought in, any
how" persisted the cOlored boy.
81 say it is not ~ Numbered the
stalWart sOutherner-and raising
his cane threateningly he took a
step forward-"and if you say that
again I'll brain YOU"
The barber who had shaved the
Senator now came forward, and in
a pacific tone interfpred. "Run up
stairs" said he to the boy, "and
have the man at the dining room
door examine the raCk-there is a
mistake somewhere. Please sit
down, SenatOr-he'll be back in a
minute" And sure enough, back
he did come, ard bringing the
Senator's hat with him, too. The
latter had picked another mans
hat from the rack himself, and
hadn't noticed the mistake.
at is my mistake" said he,
with graceful inclination of the
body and turning to the lad whom
he had but a moment before
threatened, "and humbly beg
your pardon ~
But the COlOred lad was more
embarrassed under the polite
apology of the noble South Caro-
llnlan than he had been under
the threat OF unjust punishment.

SCANDINAVIAN CLUB RE=ORGA=
MED.

The Scandinavian Republican club
met last night in the Republican
headquarters for the purpose of effect
ing reorganization for the coming
campaign. Swan Johnson, the former
chairman, called the meeting to
order, and a large and enthusiastic
meeting it was. The large room was
filled to overlooking, the number
present being twice that when the
club organized two years ago. From
this gathering it is evident that the
Scandinavian Republicans will vote
solidly for the straight Republican
ticket, as they have done so many
times before.
The following officers were elected
Chairman, j. E. Peterson.
First vice chairman, Chas. A. An
derson.
Second vice chairman, Paul Olson.
Secretary, Andrew Under.
Assistant secretary, Peter Soneyson.
Treasurer, Oscar Schoyen.
1t was voted to make all the Re-
publican candidates for county offices
honorary members.
A committee was appointed to Sc
cure Scandinavian speakers.
Geo. W. Scherer was present, and
made some earnest remarks about the
6pci hilitu Of oil ;c1o
ticket that would support Senator
Washburn for reelection, as it is very
desirable to send Republican to the
United States senate, which will in
any event be close.
A meeting of the club will be held
each Monday night in the Republican
club rooms, and much good is ex-
pected to be accomplished.

VITRIFlED CLAY PIPE.

The board of public works having
decided to use vitrified clay pipe in
the construction of the North Broad
street sewer, causes the ReUieac to
condemn the action ''as an injustice
to one of our most deserving indus
tries" and assumes that ':all citizens
who are loyal to Mankato will resent
it as an unwarranted proceeding"
The FREE PRESS some months ago
took the position that where large
pipe was required for sewer purposes,
vitrified clay was pre-eminently the
most desirable, and it took this posi-
tion advisedly and with no intention
of injuring home industry. 1t be-
lieved then and believes now, that
sentiment should not stand in the
way of public policy in using the best
material in city work, and the action
of the board of public works in the
Broad street sewer is, we believe,
fully justified.
The president of the board of pub
lie works was called upon this morn
ing for his reasons in selecting vitri-
fed clay pipe in answer to the I'M
warranted castigation administered
by the ReUieao President Beatty de-
clined to at present give publicity of
the reasons for such selection, as he is
particularly jealous of Mankato's in
dustries, and does not wish to say
anything that would tend to reflect
upon cement pipe for certain sewer
purposes. He has favored the use of
this pipe whenever and wherever it
could be done consistently, and hopes
to do so in future, but he will not
lend his official position to the use of
this or any other material where
another and better is demanded in
the interest of permanency and the
ultimate saving of the peoples
money.
Engineer Haynes entertains pre-
cisely the same views, and to take
any other position would certainly
render the board deserving of public

that OF voting for the candidate for
superintendent of schools. The per-
son selected should be one who is not
only willing, but who is able to travel
during all seasons of the year, for it
is impossible to visit all of tie schools
of the county during the short sum-
mer, and at time when many Of
them are closed. 1t is of vital i'm
portance that each school in Blue
Earth county should be visited once
each year, for no superintendent is
able to accomplish effective work I'M
less he is thoroughly posted as to the
wants of each district and the par
ticular conditions and circumstances
under which each school is being con-
Quoted. If the people of Blue Earth
county desire an effective and pro-
gresSive common school system, they
should continue the present incum-
bent in the office of county Superin-
tendent.

FOR SUPERINTENDENT.

At the last election the people of
Blue Earth county elected George w.
Scherer superintendent of schools by
a plurality of nearly thousand votes.
During the campaign of two years
ago Mr.. Scherer promised the voters
of the county that if elected he would
give his undivided attention to the
duties of the office, and make a per-
sonal inspection of all the schools, and
would endeavOr to raise the standard
of teaching in the schools in the
county. Nearly two years of official
life have elapsed, and Mr.. Scherer is
now able to come again before the
people for reelection, with promises
fulfilled, and with a record which he
is willing to have thoroughly investi-
gated. During his tenure of office
$50 school visits have been made. He
has succeeded in placing many school
libraries and school dictionaries. He
has gradually raised the standard of
teaching, and during the last summer,
through his practical exertions, a
summer school was held at Mapleton,
whereat most of the teachers of the
county embraced the opportunity of
improving and perfecting themselves
in the profession of teaching. This
is the first summer school that has
been held in Blue Earth county, al
though many of the surrounding
counties have in the past secured
summer schools each alternate sum-
mer.

ORDERED TO GO.

Mayor Weaver has directed Chief of
Police Yates to notify the keepers of
nickel-in-the-slot machines that these
devices must be discontinued. The
police gave the necessary notice yes
terday, and we have no doubt that it
will be promptly respected. The
business has of late not been as profit
able as when the fad was new, and the
machines have been gradually disap-
pearing for some time. The mayors
order will doubtless cause the prompt
removal of the remaining machines,
and thus free the city of dangerous
and subtle gambling device. MIR.
Weaver is deserving of commentator
for this move, and we hope to see the
order fully enforced and obeyed, as
we have no doubt it will be.

A RARE TREAT.

The musical recital given Mon
day afternoon at the Normal school
by Francis Walker was complete
success, according to the reports Of
those who are able to judge. A large
number of citizens were present, be-
sides students, and the entertainment
was financial success. Mr.. Walker
is solo singer of success, and sang
classical music in four foreign lam
guages. His talks were also interest
ing, and he decried the further use of
gospel songs.
Prof. Walker is a graduate of the
WinOna Normal school and has spent
seven years in Europe studying with
the masters, and but recently return
ed from Italy. He sang from his own
accompaniment and showed himself
to be an artist on the piano as well as
master of his well trained voice. Mr..
Walker is evidently quite linguist as
his beautiful songs were sung in the
Italian, French, German, Spanish and
English. His fifth number was per-
haps the most enjoyed of any. 1t is
considered one of the most difficult
pieces of music in existence, and he
has the honor of being the only per-
son in the United States to sing it.
The entertainment was indeed a
musical treat.
