MANY LOCAL SOCIETIES

At its twenty-fifth annual meet
ing yesterday afternoon, in the par
1ors of the Commercial club, the
Minnesota Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty adopted new con-
stitution, and elected officers for
1895 When President D. r. Moves
took the chair over twenty dele
gates were present, the various local
societies throughout the state being
generally represented. Secretary
r. A. Hoyt, of st. Paul, welded
the official pencil.
President Noyes, in his annual re-
port, stated that the gratifying feat
ure of the past year had been the
marked increase in the number of
local societies, of which there are
now eleven, five having been added
during the twelve months-at Man
kato, Red Wing, Rochester, Still
water and Anoka, while societies
will probably be formed at Brain
erd, Austin and Faribault. 1t had
been necessary to prosecute but
eight cases of cruelty independently
methods of dehorning cattle and
scientific applications for suppress
ing the growth of horns had prac-
tically removed the question or de-
hOrning from the supervision of the
society. Attention was called to the
abuse Of the right of vivisection,
and recommendation was made that
this right be. prohibited by law in
all cases Of mere Illustration, with
no intention of charging present
scientific information. Reference
was made to the sOcietys need of
literary organ, and to the valuable
services rendered the cause by Mes
danes Medora T. Cause and Cora
7. Nielsen.
The report of Secretary Hoyt was in
cluded in that of the president. while
the financial statement of Treasurer j.
l. Jellett was satisfactory.
The committee having the matter in
charge then presented the
NEW CONSTITUTION,
which was taken up section by section,
and adopted with a few slight alter
atoms. 1t Identifies the eligibility and
dues of the various classes of mem
bers in more satisfactory manner, and
insures better cooperation between
the state and local societies. 1t also
provides for an executive committee
always in readiness to act promptly
on urgent occasion.
While awaiting the report of Messrs.
Wilson, Stocking, Hutchins, Andrews
and Cook, the committee on nomina-
tons, a resolution was adopted favor
ing an appropriation by the legisla-
ture of $500 to care for children about
to be sent to the state public school,
Rev. E. P. Savage called attention
to the meeting this afternoon at 4
o'clock, at the Commercial club, of
the Childrens Humane society, when
the matter of caring for street BOYS
will be taken up.
The new committee on legislation
to be appointed-was asked to con-
slider the suggestion of G. B. Marshall
that agents of the society be legally
accorded police powers in cases where
the penal code is violated with refer
ence to minors. The new directors
were instructed to review Mr.. Cheney's
recommendation that Mrs. C. A. Nielsen
be appointed state organizer for the
society. The prospective committee
On humane literature were ordered to
take up the suggestion of W. B.
Mitchell, that q new magazine to be
established in Minneapolis, with Mrs.
Nielsen as editor should receive the Of
fetal Endorsement of the society.
