He Emits His Eloquence With q
Beer Table as Rostrum.
Col. Jam Davidson addressed an
open-air meeting at the corner of Sixth
and Broadway last evening.
1t was mass meeting of the Peoples
party. The crowd was composed of $50
well-dressed, evidently well-fed. fiue-
looking men, who smoked their cigars,
their pipes and cigarettes. listened and
cheered as the speaker pleased them.
Col. Jam talked couple of hours.
He told stories, quoted poetry; was
pathetic. dramatic and may be eloquent.

often. 1t may be doubted if he could not
give Calamity Weller pointers. and dis
count the original discoyerer of that
siren song. At all events he spoke as
glibly in that strain as if he were not
resident of ST. Anthony hill. walking
upon Wilton carpets. reposing upon a
downy couch, after his WEAKNESS from
cam aigning.
Col. Jam told the boys he would be
elected, sure-if lie got votes enough.

1t was not a hilarious time, due in

had the foresight to venture into the
district only under police protection.

ATTEN ZION, ALL ELKS.
A Street Parade This Afternoon

A Street Parade This Afternoon
to Press Club Benefit.
The St. Paul Press club give benefit
entertainment at the Grand opera house
this afternoon. which is fully noted
elsewhere.
ST. Paul Lodge of Eiks No. 50, with
characteristic enterprise and liberality,
have reserved a section of the house,
and will march in a body to the enter
tainment. In recognition OF this support
ana courtesy by the Elks the Press club
has arranged to meet at its club house
:45 p. m. and with a band of music
march to the hail of the Elks in Fore
paugh block.
There will be a delegation of Mime
apOlis Elks and members of the Mime
apolis Press club, who will meet with
the st. Paul ElkS at their hall and all
will unite in the march to the Grand
opera house.
While doubtless many Elks may be
unable to give the time. 20 attend the
entire entertainment at the Grand. it is
earnestly hoped that all will join in the
parade. That will not occupy to ex-
coed half an hour, and it is expected
the procession will move at Lbs from
the Eiks' hall. The march will be short,
ana those who cannot spend the whole
afternoon Can certainly give half an
hour to the occasion.

JAMES SHIELDS
"A Worthy Candidate for Justice:
of the Peace.

"A w Ortnv CanUluaC0 lOT JUSTICE
ofthe Peace.
One OF the most worthy men on the
Democratic ticket is James Shields. can
didate for justice of the peace west of
Wabasha street. Mr.. Shields, who has
been resident of the Eighth
ward for over seventeen years,
commenced his business experience in
very hunt ole capacity, earning his living
for length of time as an elevator man.
Being ambitious, this state of things
could not exist forever, and as soon as
he was able to pay his expenses Mr..
Shields took course in law at our state
university. In 1893 he was admitted to
the bar and at once commenced to
practice his profession.
Undoubtedly the laboring people of
st. Paul will appreciate that he is one
of them and will vote accordingly. =
In connection with this short bigg-
raphy of one of the next justices of
the peace, it would not be out of place
to set right slight misapprehensiouYon
the part of some in regard to the man
ner of voting for these officials.
A few years ago the justices from the
east and west sides of Wabasha street
were only voted for by the residents of
their own districts. Now it is different,
and, like the assemblymen, every legal
voter is allowed to cast his ballot for
them. ri /

The redoubtable First ward joins in
the unanimous enthusiasm for the DEM

meeting held last night at the corner OF
Mississippi and Nash streets, it will
shake the foundations OF that strong
hold OF Republicanism OH election day.
The meeting was not only large. hut
the audience Overflowed with entiust
assn. The speakers were greeted with
storms Of applause and cheers when
they made telling points against Repub-
lican bossisn, and VIXEN charged to see
upon the ISLANDERS promulgated by the
Republican machine. A large store
room had been provided with seats and
decorated for the rally, aid speakers
from the rank and file of the Democratic
voters were detailed to recount the
issues of the campaign. Or course the
substance of the speeches had already
been spread broadcast, but the audience
of 500 voters seemed to enjoy them the
more for being recuunted again. James
e. Borrigan presided.
Pierce Butler recOunted the short
comlngs OF the present administration
and especially the mavor and police de-
partmen,s. He alluded to the reign of
terror i'll the city, and contrasted the
conditions for law and order of The past
two years with the previous history of
the city. The audience yelled with de-
light at his thruStS at the present adj
ministrauIon and appiauded his praise
OF Democratic doings.
j. Q. Michael made a strong speech.
He alluded to the bitter loaf from which
the people have been eating during the

DR.. E. w. Buckley made strong and
convincing speech, during which he
called attention to the over-crowded

w AS 1T ESIGN?
Registration in Three Precincts.
First Ward, Imperfect.

Registration in Three Precincts,
First Ward, imperfect.
An examination of the registration
books in the Office Of the city clerk yes
terday brought to light serious infrac-
.tiOn of the election law in three pre-
cincts in the First ward.
In the Third, Seventh and Eighth
precincts of the ward the judges OF
election. either through ignorance or
design. took only the names and resi-
denceS of the voters who presented
themselves to be registered.
The law provides that when persons
are registered they shall give their
names, residences, length of time in
the country, state amt district where
naturalized, and also whether they are
houSeh0iders or boarders. In each of
the three precincts mentioned no atten-
ton was paid by the judges to any Of
the directions given in the law, and
only the names and address of those
registered were taken. 1t is impossible
from the registration books to arrive at
any conclusion as to the length of time
any of the men have been in the dis
trlct, whether they were ever natural
lied, or are leg gal voters in the eyes Of
the law.
The attention of City Attorney Cham
berlain was called to the matter yester-
terday; but as soon as he learned the
mistakes were made in the First ward.
he at once said it made 10 difference, as
the voters could not be disfranchiSed
by the Ignorance of the judges of cleo
ton. He did not care to express any
opinion in the matter without eXamili-
ing the law, but thought the voters in
the three precincts could swear in
their votes on election day. The regis
tration in the three precincts is very
eeavy, over 400 names being enrolled III
each district. The judges and clerks ii
the three precincts are all Republicans

A CLEVER PENMAN.
John III. Henderson Charsed With
Some Extensive EOrReriea.

Basil Jackson, an old colored man, who
owns a comfortable home on r street north
west, will soon have to appear in court as
a witness to tell that he has not mortgaged
his property. His property has been mort
gagged in the regular way, so far as the
papers are concerned. but it Is charged that
Jackson was impersonated by John H. Hen
derson. and therefore the papers are fraud
ulent and do not affect the title of the prop
erty. Henderson is colored man, who
came here from Mississippi and obtained
position In the War Department. He is said
to be good penman, and wanting to get
wealthy faster than his salary was making
him, he figured in some shady business,
for which he was arrested and released on
his personal bonds to appear for sentence
Yesterday he went to negotiate a loan Of

is also a notary. is the man who caused
Henderson's actions to be investigated. He
was to perform the notary's part in the
transaction, but the name of Henderson
aroused his suspicious. Yesterday, when
Henderson appeared, Sergt. Johnson was
present and arrested him. An investigation
showed that Henderson had received S2.5y0
from Riggs & Co. and 81, loo from Straus &
Co., real estate dealers. Three charges Of
forgery were preferred against the prison.

DR.. Daniel H. Williams Of Chicago has
been appointed to succeed Dr. Charles r.
Purvis as surgeon-in-chief of the Freed
mems Hospital. This change has been in
contemplation by the Secretary of the In
terror for some time, and the matter has
been the cause of considerable strife be-
tween the friends of the incumbent and
his foes. DIR. Williams is a member of the
chicago Medical Society and of the Amer
ican Medical Association. He was grad
uated from the Chicago Medical College in
lSSs. and has served in the Southside Dis
and the Chicago Orphan Asylum. He was

DIR. Daniel H Williams called at the Dis
trict building this afternoon to pay his re-
spects to the Commissioners In appear
ance he is a man thirty-six years of age
about the medium height. and very light
complexion. In fact, it would be easy to
mistake him for a Caucasion. He stated
in reply to a question that he had already
qualified, but would not assume active
charge OF the hospital for a month. 1t
would require at least that time for him TO
straighten up his affairs in Chicago.

AN ACT OF Comfy.
EmbezEler Hahn Arrested in Guate-
ma1a and ON the Way Back


After prolonged effort the Department Of
State has at length succeeded in bringing
to most successful termination a trouble
some case. involving the capture of a GRIM
inal in a foreign country in the absence Of
an extradition treaty. Some months ago
Joseph j. Hahn fed from Natchez, Miss.
embezzling $4,000 in bonds and quantity
of diamonds. After long inquiry he was To-
Gated In Guatemala city. Guatemala; and
as there is no extradition treaty between the
United States and that country, s. X. VIM
chester Of Natchez. who was a close friend
OF the embeZzler, went to Guatemala to>en-
deavor to secure the return of Hahn and
the valuables. But Winchester fell a victim
to the climate and died suddenly under cir.
cumstances that led to the suspicion tina;
he had been foully dealt with, although this
was subsequently disproved. Meanwhile the
governor of Mississippi was urging the De-
partment of State to act, and finally VIM
F. Forsee. an agent of the department, was
sent to Guatemala. AS an act of comfy
solely the Guatemalan government caused
the arrest of Hahn, and a letter received at
the State Department today announced that
FOrsee had sailed for San Francisco, bring
ing Hahn and all of the bonds and dia-
monds.
