Used to preserve and cherish the cane

ed that he might live to an age when
he might carry the token with honor
to the bar. There is time in every
mans life when he can hardly express
his feelings and this time had come
for him. He appreciated the token of
respect, and trusted that hereafter he
might be worthy of the honor bestow-
ed upon him. He hoped that he might
never disgrace it, and again he
again thanked the bar for the beauti-
full present and mark of esteem and
confidence. MA
The business of the court was then
taken up and the calendar called.
The cane bears the inscription "Man-
kato Bar to J. e.. Porter, April 10,
1894" 1t is a beautiful walking stick,
and Judge Porter may well feel proud
of it.
Judge Porter has held the office dur
ng the past twelve years, and through
out all of that time has given the
best of satisfaction. His uniform
kindness and courtesy has made
friends of all with whom he has come
in contact. AS one who has met him
daily, the FREE PRESS desires to eX-
press it's thanks to him for the cOurte-
sizes uniformly shown to it's newsgath-
erers. No matter how busily engaged
he might be, he has always had time
for courteous reply, and this very
faculty has made him warm and last
ing friends among his political OPP
pOnentS.
The municipal court was established
twelve years ago, and O. O. Pitcher
occupied thes bench for three.months
by appointment. Judge Porter was
then elected judge and has held the
office ever since. The business of the
Office has steadily grown, and it's i'm
pOrtance has demonstrated the wisdom
of establishing the court. 1t has re-
duced the lawleSsneS of the commune
ty in very great degree, while it af
fords an opportunity for the prompt
dispatch of civil cases.

TWO MANKATO INDUSTRIES.

The Mankato Knitting mill is do
ing good business, and is now en-
ploying about fifty hands. The out
put is now one hundred dozen pairs
of hosiery daily, and there is prom
ising demand for the goods. A Min
neapolis firm is buying the hosiery in
100 dozen lots, and if that city had
been canvassed earlier in the season it
is believed that 10000 dozen could
have been sold there alone. The de-
mand for boys hose is more than the
mill has been able to meet, but with
an increase in help it will be able
to fill the orders. The manufacture
of lumbermens' socks will be under
taken this season, for next winters
trade, in addition to the goods now
being manufactured.
Manager NJ G. Willard this week
purchased all of the lambs wool from
r. d. Hubbard's flock. This will
amount to $4,000 pounds, and the
shearing is now being done. Lambs
wool is fine quality, and makes the
softest of hosiery.
The Fibreware works are running
along as usual. The company made a
shipment few days ago of 800 dozen
pals to Pittsburgh, which speaks elo-
quently of the splendid class of goods
manufactured.

Committee.

Mr.. Freeman stated that the resolu-
tions were not presented as mere
matter Of form, but are intended to
represent the good wishes and esteem
in which Judge Porter is held, after so
ably conducting the court for so many
years. He had solved the many ques-
lions that had come before him with
honesty and ability. Where crime
was committed in carelessness, Judge
Porter had been lenient and forgiving,
but when evil intent was apparent
the community had safe guard in the
court. Grave questions had frequently
come up, but Judge Porter had
done well cat all times, and the
scales of justice were equally
balanced. The thanks Of the bar as.

and briefs very explicit, lin order
that he could decide the questions the

Mrs. Martin Nee Victoria Woodruff.
Creating a Sensation in
England's Metropolis.
Associated Press.

London, Feb. 2S.--The case OF Bid
dulph Martin, formerly Victoria Wood
hull, against the trustees of the British
museum, was heard in the high court
of justice before Baron HolIer today.
Mrs. Martin some time ago obtained an
order from the courts directing the
trustees of the museum to diyulge the
names Of the donors to the museum Of
two books relating to the Beecher-Trl-
ton trial. Mrs, Martin. in her petition,
declared the first Of these books i'm
puted that she, as Victoria woodruff
had published libelous and obscene liter
ature. The second book purported to
contain statements made during the
Beecher-Tilton litigation which she
claimed reflected ON plaintiff. She said
the books contained imaginary inter-
views with Woodruff, in which she was
quoted as stating Tilton had been her
lover; that she had lired with him for
three months, and he called her the
Queen OF Prostitutes" Woodruff was
charged in these interviews with black
mailing Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. ana
counsel asserted the interviews made a
similar charge against Woodhulls Sis
ter Extracts were read from the works
OF woodruff, advocating purity between
the sexes. Unlucl1ily. counsel continued,
the man whom Woodruff left in control
Of the newspaper in New York inserted
unknown to her some disgraeegpIS ar.
tioles. Counsel said that Woodhull, un-
Ill she. met Martin, lived life Of strug-
gle and suffering. When asked whether
she had ever been guilty Of immortality,
Mrs. Martin said that from 1870 to 1SS,
she was daily before the American pub
tic, and no charge had ever been made
against her character. Sir Charles Rus
sell, the attorney genera, who appeared
for the trustees Of the museum, severe
ly cross-xaamined Mrs. Martin in re-
sard to her life as stockbroker and
actress in San Francisco. When the
question was put regarding Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher Mrs. Martin said If The
Seecher-Tilton case was tried again in
London she must have time to prepare
her case,

to favor such action, and fear of other

Toledo, o., Feb. 9s.-Perhaps the most

peal by the attorney for defendant in
the case OF Rummell VS.. Ostrander, as
treasurer of Council No. 2. for the pay
ment on rifles, which was tried in JUS
tice Syagraves court Wednesday. Os-
trander was highly incensed at the ver-
dict and makes many charges against
the members of the order, whom he
claims deserted him and worked against
him in the law suit Ostrander has been
talking freely since the suit was de-
cided against him, and not only reveal
ed that number Of rifles were pur-
chased to resist the labor day massacre,
but has given out the names Of those
who purchased them, among which are
several prominent business men, poll
ticians and city officials. Mayor Major,
who is the avowed candidate OF the as
sociation for governor, and has an
nounced himself as congressional as
pirant, is among the number charged
with having purchased the rifles. TIL,
mayor denied the implication this morn
ing. when the disgruntled treasurer
clinched his statement by producing s
