Salons of the Nineteenth Century.


The opening lecture of the annual course
was given yesterday at Holy Cross Academy
by Hon. A. R. Spofford. The subject was
"Salons of the Nineteenth Century" one re-
plete with interest and treated by the gifted
lecturer with inimitable grace. He said the
salons of the seventeenth century were liter
airy, those of the eighteenth philosophic,
while those of the nineteenth were literary
artistic. scientific, musical, and fashionable
The picture drawn of the best social life Of
France in those days Of political agitation
presents the most interesting and remarkable
phase of French character.
Mr.. Spofford skefched in brilliant but true
historic coors the great Madame Dc Stael,
her faithful friend Madame Recamier, the
Duchess de Durac, the fair English Madame
Mohl, and Madame De Genlis, the indefatig-
able writer. Speaking of Napoleon's treat
ment of Madame De Stael he said: His sup
preston of her writings accused not her lib
eralism but his despotisn." The aristocratic
autocrat could not endure that one woman in
France did not honor him. A large audience
was present at the lecture and greatly en-
joyed the swiftly passing hour. At the close
Mr.. Spofford announced lectures by Mr. How
ard on Isabella of Castillo" Louise of
Prussia" George Eliot" and Madame De
Stael ~

allow 10 per cent discount on all orders, thus
giving all an opportunity TO secure fail and

he was probably one Of the most harm :
less men who has ever had a seat i'm tina t
body. lie made no speeches, introduced
no harum-scaru.n bills, lived respectfully
at cheap boarding house, drew his
salary, kept it and brought it home
with him. He attracted no attention
whatever and accomplished nothing.
His former election was n surprise to
himself and to everybody else. VII en- he
ran before, Alonzo Wlliteman, hen a
rising young politician of Duluth, was
the democratic nominee. and S. G. Com.
stock OF Moorhead was the repu .blicau
nominee and the district had been repub-
lican. Whiteman thought that Halyer-
son might draw enough Republican
votes from Comstock SO as to make his
election sure and SO he gave Halverson
$4,000. to put into his campaign and he
used the money to such an advantage
that he beat both Whiteman and Conn

another $1,000, and Kittel will prob
