A PASTOR'S A BILL,
REV. FRENCH IS SUED BY HIS
FORMER LANDLORD.
The Revered Gentleman Not to
Blame-It Is Said the Church
Owes Him Money.

1t Is not often that a pastor of a
fashionable church is sued for his board
bill, at any rate it is not often that the
public learns of it. Something of a
sensation was created yesterday when
suit was fled against Rev. Henry II.
French, pastor of the handsome and sup
posedly wealthy Wesley NJ. E. church,
at thec corner OF First avenue south and
Thirteenth street, for 1920, alleged TO be
due for board. The plaintiff is Levi
Bowen. who owns a cottage ON the
picturesque shores Of Lake M%iDnetonka,
and in his complaint he alleges:
That he, Levi Bowen, between June
2, and September, 1894. furnished board
and cottage on his premises to and for
Henry II. French and members of his
household and his guests at the agreed
price of and the reasonable value of 8
per week for each person, the whole
bill amounting to 1922.
or this amouh MIR. Bowen saws that
he has been paid but SIS. He also says
that he furnished kev. French with a
boat for the use of himself and family,
which he considers TO be worth SIS.
This is not paid. So he sues for the
amount named in the complaint. 1920. ,
The Wesley church has been gar
nlsheed in the action. aud the case will
come up iii a short time in the event
the bill Is not paid in the meantime. 1t
is said that Rev. French is not to blame
i'll the matter, for the church is indebted
to him in the matter of salary. The
church is the largest of the Methodist
denomination In the city. and has
always been considered as supported by
some of the w%ealthiest of church-goers.

Tho Department. Store a Year
Old Sunday.


Old Sunday.
Ols0n's department store, on Fifth
street and First avenue south, was a
year old last Sunday.
This celebrated house was organized
In 1881. as a popular cash bargain re-
sort.
Mr.. Olson long ago discovered that
the old location Of 2l3 NicOllet avenue
was no longer desirable, and the store
not sufficiently large. nor could 1t be
added to TO accommodate his vast bust
ness. lie determined to better his con-
die14Qn In this respect, and after lengthy
and Intricate negotiations, at last sue
ceeded In securing a long ground lease
where his magnificent store now stands.
and to erect a building thereon at once
the pride OF Minneapolis, as well as q
monument to his enterprise and sagac-
.ffhispite of the great financial crisis
coming Oh during the erection and COM
Pletion of the building, when there
came a practical suspense of all such
opatatiOns throughout the country. Mr..
Discus enterprise never Jagged one day,
and was pushed to its completion in the
phenomenal short time of eighty three
days from the laying Of the first brick
to the opening of this grand store on
Sept. %, 1893, each contractor and
labHrer being paid promptly in full ac-
cordlng to every agreement. The store
was auspiciOusly opened one year ago
Sunday. and scored a signal success
from the very opening OF It's doors.
We bespeak for him and his store a
rousing. well-deserved benefit during
anniversary week.

The board of exposition directors, to-
gether with the stockholders of the in
stitution, will hold a meeting this morn
ing in the building for the purpose of
considering financial questions and the
best means of wiping out the present
Indebtedness standing against the build

The Indebtedness is about $50, 600 and
several methods of disposing of it are
proposed. One of these is to sell the
building at auction to the highest bidder,
while Others propose to raise by popular
subscription the amount outstanding
and wipe the Indebtedness out, holding
the building until such time as it can
be easily sold at a figure somewhere
near its actual value.

dams and the prevention Of forest fires.
Secretary Hemphill read a communica-
tion from the st. Paul Commercial club,
referring to the constantly recurring
danger from fire in the northern woods,
and suggested the advisability of some
action being taken to prevent. as far as
possible, future disasters similar to that
of Hinckley. The communication
stated that 1t had been thought expe.

tlons, together with others interested in
the matter of preventing hres, to be
held in St. Paul. Oct. II. The Mime

He Lets Go a Batch Before He

Evangelists Golf and Quinn left til
city yesterday for st. Paul. Before 60
ing Quinn had this to say: Sufficient
evidence was produced to sustain all
the allegations made by me regarding
gambling i'll this city, aud the good peo-
pie of the town know it. By the good
people of the town l don't mean the
church people. for they have acted cow
ardly toward US. The Central Baptist
was secured for Thursday night, and
then withdrawn by its pastor, Rev. c.
A. Reese. because we talked on gam
bling. Why? Because the members
themselves gamble. Think of it. The
members OF the churches of Minne-
apolis gambling and the pastor doesn't
van them to be told of it.. And then
Rev. Shutters statement in a paper.
Why didn't he come down and pray
with us instead of saying those things?
He has slid from the Baptist church to
the Universalist, anyway. DIR. Hoyt
said to me in the Y. NJ. G. A. Thursday
morning: i don't want you in my
church, and l knew the reason why,
and the Y. M. e. A. boys standing
around knew the reason, and it was be-
cause the 'euchre players wouldn't like
1t. DR.. Wells IS the only pastor in the
city who has treated us right, and the
others will have tt answer Tor it judg-

REV. FRENCH'S BOARD BILL.
Suit Against the Methodist
Divine-- Miscellaneous
News.

Tie Democratic committee whose
province it was to select candidates for
the city boards met last night in
the rooms of the Hennepin Democratic
league. New York Life building. There
was a full attendance OF the committee.
and all listened attentively to Mrs. II.
f. Brown, Mrs. Ell Torrance and Mrs.
Sanford Miles, who presented the name
of Mrs. Golf for the nomination as
member of the board of education. The
ladies demonstrated they were some
thing of politicians themselves. and held
their own well, in spite of a few imper-
tinent questions put by such men as
Ed Stevens. When the time came to
make nominations it was decided to 20
into executive session and to exclude
newspaper reporters, this. too, in the
face of the fact that the meeting was
nothing more nor less than q nominal
Ing convention and should have been
public. Ed Stevens made the motion to
exclude reporters. while such delightful
Democrats as Mike Hoy, Norm W King
and others supported him and carried
their point. 1t is difficult to even gness
at their object IN insisting upon an AK
ecutive session, and the chances are
they did moi know themselves.
The candidates for nomination for
members of the board of education were
Mrs. Golf, L. B. Janney, Titus Mareck,
DR.. Quinby, the Republican nominee.
Rev. Gjertsen, B. F. Nelson and A. T..
Ankeny. 1t Is hardly fair to say that
either Mr.. Nelson or Mr.. Ankeny were
candidates. but the committeeman in
sisted upon voting for them in several
instances. Mr.. Mareck withdrew after
the first formal ballot.
L. B. Janney was nominated on the
first formal ballot for one position, and
Mrs. Golf carried off the flag for the
second place on the fifth formal ballot.
There was a hot fight throughout the
meeting. and it was to the credit of the
Democrats. When the hour neared IL
o'clock 1t was decided to adjourn and
finish the rest of the nominating for the
remaining boards next Friday evening.
Then the lights were turned out aud
themselves.
DR.. Quinby made q vigorous fight for
the Democratic Endorsement, but the
committee concluded that they did not
want him. What MIR. Boardman will do
now that his concessions" are refused
is a Piccadilly puzzle. -
