SAVING THE GIRLS.
Big Meeting to Be Held at Forti,s
Hall To-day.

Mrs. H. C. Clark, state superintend-
ent of legislative and purity work for
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union, will meet the motherhood, wife
hood and sisterhood of ST. Paul at
Ford's Music hall this Friday after
noon at 2:30 O'Clock in behalf of the
purity of our little ones.
Goddess legislation in this state"
says Mrs. Nicholas, has made it law
full for a child of fourteen years to
consent to her own ruin. Our little
girls can by Minnesota law be led by
any lecherouS villain to commit the
sin, of the doing and consequence of
which she is entirely ignorant, and
her worse than murderer goes free by
law to entice to ruin other innocent
babes. Sisters of st. Paul should come
and insist that the legal age of con-
sent be made at least that at which a
girl is only considered competent to
consent to her marriage and sale or
transfer of property-eighteen years
let us say that Minnesota values as
highly the pure inviolate girlhood of
her little ones as their property. Pc
titions to this end are to be circulated
asking our legislature to so amend the
law. Several states have already such
a law"

HUMOROUS COLL0oUYS
Between Court and Counsel
in an Action for Di-
VOrce.

Judge Egan's court furnished
amusement for a small crowd of
spectators yesterday afternoon. The
case on trial was the suit of Eliza
beth Allen for q decree Of divorce
from her husband, Joseph Allen, on
the ground of cruel treatment. The
suit of itself contains but little that
is of particular interest to those who
hang around the court rooms daily,
waiting for the unfolding of scraps
of family history or sketches taken
from dramas enacted in real life.
The interest in this case was prin
cipally due to several colloquys be-
tween John l.. TOWnley, attorney for
the plaintiff, and his honor, Judge
Egan, the latter apparently being
prompted by the spirit of good <humor
that so frequently becomes ire
sistible in MIN even on the bench.
Allen and his wife are both colored,
and they have been having more or
less trouble for some time past. They
finally separated, and later on the
husband took their fiveyear-old
daughter on the pretense that he
was going to place her in st. JoSeph'S
academy, but when his wife came to
look the matter up, she found he had
not done so. She alleges in her COM
plant that during the time the child
was in possession of her husband
she met them both at church one
Sunday. The child ran to her, and
when she took it in her arms, it
threw it's hands about her neck and
began kissing her. The father Or
dered her to put it down, and not
complying with his order as quickly
as he thought she should, he grabbed
her by the arm and threw her down
on the steps of the church, seriously
hurting her.
Allen is employed in the postoffice,
and the plaintiff claims that on one
occasion when she went there to see
him about the child, he swore at her,
called her vile names, and threat
ened to kill her if she did not keep
away from him and the child. She
finally regained possession of the
child by an appeal to the court,
Judge Kelly making an order by
which she was given the custody of
it. In addition to the decree of di
vorce and the permanent custody of
the child, she asks for the return to
her of certain property in the pos
session of her husband, to which
she claims title.

CRUSADERS ENTERTAIN
ENJOYABLE MUSICAL AND LIT
ERARY PROGRAMME REM
DERED.
REV. DAMEHEY'S ADDRESS
He Urges Young Men to Cultivate
Their Minds by Reading
Good Books.

The Crusaders Catholic Total Absti-
hence society gave a very enjoyable
entertainment in it's room in the base
ment of Cretin hall last night. The
room was crowded to it's utmost capa-
city. President J. j. Gleason presided,
and the following programme was we'll
rendered:
Violin solo, Charles Jaeger; vocal
solo, Miss Emma Verais; original reel
tation, GU. Cannon vocal solo, Charles
Morrow; address, Rev. DR.. Danehey;
mandolin and guitar trio, John Snow,
George Bowler and C. Hurley; ad-
dress for the society, P. T. McDermott:
mandolin solo, c. Corcoran. Several
of the numbers were encored.
DR.. Danehey in his address urged
the Importance of young men cultivat-
ing their minds to the full extent of
their abilities and advantages. Every
man ought to be satisfied with nothing
snort of forcing out the best that is III
him, no matter in what station in life
he may be placed, or what his voca-
ton. If he be a carpenter, he should
aim to be in the front rank as a me-
chanic. All of them did not have the
advantage of private libraries, but the
public library was accessible to all,
and books, he said, were the all-im-
portant thing in the development of
the mind. They must also aim to be
men of high moral character. This
did not only mean that they should
not steal, but that they should not re-
sort to any questionable means, such
as speculation or gambling, to acquire
money. The court in Minneapolis at
present, he said, gives a very good
Illustration of what this disposition to
get money, regardless of the means
employed, finally leads to. He urged
them not to give too much time to light
reading, newspapers, etc, but make it
point to read portion of some good,
thoughtful book every day.
Mr.. McDermott confined his remarks;
principally to the total abstinence
movement, especially the work being
done by the Crusaders. His short talk
was well received.

TO KILL The WEED.
The Convention Called to De-
wise Plans for the EXter-
mination
OF THE RUSSIAN THISTLE
Convenes at the Capitol With
Delegates Present From
Five States.
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED
Asking Assistance From Con-
gress and the States
Named.

The commission, consisting OF two
representative from the legislatures
of the states of Iowa, Nebraska, Wis
consin, North Dakota and Mime
sofa, met yesterday at the capitol
to devise plans for the determination
of the Russian thistle.
Senator Il. J. Jones of Minneapolis,
occupied the chair, and Representa-
tive J. K. LambOrn, Of Nebraska,
acted as secretary. The following
representa- tives from the different
states were in attendance:
Wisconsin - Charles Fisher and
Frank Fraser.
North Dakota - State Senator
Charles Valentine, Representative
f. w. Brainard and Commissioner
of Labor A. H. Laughlin.
Iowa-Hon. James Wilson and
Hon. j. C. Baker.
Nebraska - State Senator P. G.
Stewart and Representative j. K.
LamhOrn.
Minnesota-State Senator E. j.
Jones and Representative Reeves.
South Dakota was not represented,
although an invitation was extended.
There were also present Prof. L.
H. Dewey, of the department Of
agriculture, Washington; Prof.
Hayes, of the Minnesota state school
of agriculture; Prof. Laughlin, of
North Dakota; A. j. Glover, Of Min
neapolis; r. J. Hall, OF Morris, and
o. F. Brand, of Faribault
After the meeting had been called
to order, Prof. Dewey was called
upon to speak. He reviewed at some
length the rapid growth of the weed,
and the great lack of state legisla-
ton to prevent it. From a map
prepared by the agricultural depart
ment at Washington it was shown
that the thistle had spread from
South Dakota in 1873, where it was
brought in some imported flax seed.
a general discussion followed Mr..
DeWey's remarks, and the delegates
spoke of the

One of the features of the Berlin h. dustrial exposition of next year will be the beauty of the grounds. One of the most interesting changes now taking place is the transformation of the great playgrounds in Treptow park into a lake. About AS, 900 cubic meters of earth will have to be removed, and workmen are now engaged in building the embankment. A promenade, shaded by four rows of plantain trees, already encircles the proposed lake. Powerful engines will supply the water, which will fall in great cascades into the lake, and then flow into the river Spree. Con- dolGs will ply in the basin and the neighboring waterways. Artistic restau- rants and music halls will border the boulevard, the whole making a scene which, it is expected, will rival in beauty anything ever offered for public enjoyment at any Worlds fair.
 One curious feature of this improve ment is found in the fact that Treptow park must be restored to its original condition when the exposition is over. In order to do this 24, 900 square meters of sod must be stored, and the contract ors find difficulty in obtaining place to put it.-New York Times.

A Campfire of Fossu Wood.

Our fire was made of fossil wood gath cred on the beach. This wood Is found scattered or in wave washed windrows all about the bay where the shores are low enough for it to rest. It also occurs in abundance in many of the ravines and gorges, and in roughly stratified beds of moraine material, some of which are more than 1. 900 feet in thickness. The bed rocks on which these deposits rest are scored and polished by glacial action, like all the rocks hereabouts up to at least 5000 feet above the sea The tim Der is mostly in the form of broken trunks of the Merten, Patton and Men zies spruce, the largest sections being 20 diameter, some of them with the bark on. sound and tough.
 It appears therefore that these shores were, century or so ago, as generously forested us those of the adjacent bays and inlets are today; though. strange to say, not one tree is left standing, with the exception of few on mountain tops near the mouth of the bay and on the east side of the Muir glacier. How this deforestment was effected I have not space to tell here will only say that all have seen goes to show that the moraine soil on which the forests were growing was held in place on the steep mountain slopes by the grand trunk glacier that recently filled the entire bay as its channel, and that when it melted the soil and forests were sloughed of together.
