AID FOR ORPHANS,
Catholic Fair at Harmonic Hall
"a Great Success.


"a Great Success.
The Catholic fair at Harmonic hall.
for the benefit of the Chicogo avenue
Orphan Asylum, opened last night
very auspiciously. The hall was deck
ed out in gala dress and encircled with
tasteful booths and tables. large
number of friends of the asylum were
present during the evening to aid the
good work.
The opening ceremonies were graced
by the presence of Archbishop Ireland
and Mayor Pratt, one to give the sane
ton and countenance of the church,
the other to endorse the enterprise
from the citizens standpoint
Father Christie rpesided over the ex-
ercises opening the fair, and prefaced
the programme with a few remarks
of a general character. He then in
troduced Mayor Pratt, who delivered
the address of formal opening. He
spoke of the Importance of charity in
general, and of charitable institutions,
but dwelt with emphasis on the Orphan
asylum which is to profit by the fair.
Archbishop Ireland endorsed the fair
and it's object from the churchman's
standpoint, and eXhorted all present to
take hold with a will to bring about
success. He said 1t was essentially
layman's enterprise, and should be a
popular fair. He hoped the whole city
would assist in behalf of the deserving
charity, and said he should be sorry
to hear at the end of the week that
some portion of the Catholic people of
Minneapolis had not taken the proper
interest in the fair.
An excellent musical programme in
terspersed with short speeches and
recitations followed The fair will
continue during the week.

FIENDS TORTURE.
MASKED MEN ROB AN OHIO
FARMER.
ON A RED-HoT STOVE
They Hold the Granger and Kris
Wife Until They Give I'D ~ =
Thousands.

TOLEDO, O., March Jacob
Shonbrick, living thirty-five miles
northwest of here, was brutally tor
tured and robbed late last night,
He is a well-to-do German farmer,
who has kept his money about his
premises. About dawn this morn
ing four masked men entered the
house and first bound and gagged
the fifteen-year-old daughter, who
slept in a room off from the kitchen.
The others were then seized. The
twelve-year-old boy and the elder
daughter were bound and gagged
The old man and his wife were
easily overpowered. The old man
was ordered to point out the hiding
place of his money. He denied hav-
ing any, but one of the men told
him if he repeated the story his
head would be blown off. He took
them to his sleeping room and tore
up the carpet under the side of the
bed next to the hall and brought
out about 81, 200 in bills. Three of the
men were about to leave when the
leader told them that he knew there
was more than that in the house.
The old man denied it.
The cook stove was filled with
wood, and soon a red-hot fire warmed
up the room. The men then took
Shonbrick and held him over the
flames, after removing the stove
lids, until his feet and the calves of
his legs were terribly burned, yet he
remained obdurate. Again they held
him over the stove until the pain
caused him to faint They then
seized, Mrs. Shonbrick and threat
ened the daughters with indignities,
but all denied knowledge of any
more money in the house.
The men then took the old woman
and held her over the flames until
she was terribly burned. She re-
fused any information. Again they
raised her over the hot stove, when
she screamed that she would tel,
where the rest of the money was
hidden. She was then so badly
burned that they were compelled to
carry her She directed them to the
cellar, where, under a barrel, was
concealed over Isl, OOO,i which they
TOOK, and hastily left the house.

fer for Menage,s Collateral.
The collateral of the missing Louis
nown, was in evidence before Judge
Russell yesterday in the district court
in the shape of an offer from several
Eastern parties to buy the 1926, GOO
West Pullman Land association bonds
at 10 cents on the dollar. The court
listened to arguments on the PROPOSE
ton and took the matter under adj
The S295,000 represents second mort
gage bonds held by the Minneapolis
Trust company as trustee of the North
western Guaranty Loan company. The
West Pullman property is also saddled
with first mortgage bonds amounting
to $150,000 in addition to which there is
due lien of 100000 and floating fn<
ern parties who are anxious to pay a
dime on the dollar for Mr.. Manages
former collateral, are: G. c. Chapman,
Portland, Me-; Theopholis King, Bos-
ton, and Edward A. Smith, Providence,

The proposition argued before Judge
Russell also provides that the creditors
may go in on the deal and realize
something by so doing,if they can.
If the proposition is allowed by the
court, something like $29, 500 will go into
the estate to apply on about 81, 100000 of

Died in His Chair.

Charles Edwin Goodwin, sixty-five
years of age, was found dead in his
room at the Summers hotel about 8
o'clock yesterday morning. The cause
of his death was asphyXiation, an open
gas jet telling the story. A guest of
the hotel detected a strong odor of gas
coming from Mr.. Goodwin's apart
ments, and upon opening the door dis
covered the old gentleman sitting in
his chair dead. His spectacles We're

gas off and then accidentally turned it
on again. Coroner Kistler was noti-

EULOGIZED LINCOLN.
WattersOn Makes IL Most MasterIy
and ElOquent Address.

Last night was memorable orator
fcal event in Minneapolis. AT the Ly-
ceum theater a large audience assem-
bled to listen to great citizen of this
republic, the Hon. Henry Watterson,
the gifted Kentuckian, who stood up
in the simplicity and grandeur of his
citizenship and paid his tribute to the
greatest citizen, the greatest man that
ever breathed a benediction on man
kind. Mr.. Wattersons lecture on Lin
coin was an eloquent Grafton. a schol-
arly presentation of a theme that fur
nishes the philosopher and the sage
wealth of material for the hand of
genius to beautify and make glorious
to mankind. He spoke in a simple, con-
versational style, wholly unostenta-
tiou, plain and quiet, and as unaffected
as the great man that thrilled his
heart. But for two hours he held the
large audience in his power. Nothing
can be said that will convey any ade-
quate conception of the significance of
the occasion. 1t will long be remem-
bered as an inspiring scene, a gracious
tribute and superb effort
The address of Mr.. Watterson was
the same as that he delivered in Chi
cago a few weeks ago. 1t was replete
with anecdotes of the great emanci-
pator, and his subtle analysis of the
characters of that famous galaxy of
men among whom Lincoln lowered
like a giant, was very grand. He read
copious extracts from Mr.. Lincoln's
private letters, which were remarka-
bic for their wisdom and quaint humor
He said that to God alone must man
kind look for an explanation of that
great man. He was an inspired man.
He derived his genius from the same
source as Shakespeare and Robert
Burns. He said that the well of
English undefiled'' flowed nowhere
with greater purity than in the writ
ings of Lincoln, and a splendid volume
might be collected of his brilliant let
ters and papers. He dwelt at length
on the humanity and great good hui
NOR, but at no time did he so thor
oughly interest his audience as when
telling of the sturdy character and
grand principles of the man who so
gently, but firmly gave his cabinet
officers to understand that he was
president. Stewards meddlesomeness
during the early weeks of Mr. Lin
coins presidential career was humor-
Gus illustrated. Had the president
said Mr.. Watterson, listened to
Stewards paper, which he called Some
Thoughts for the Presidents Atten-
tion,' America would have been de-
luged in war with European coun-
tries" The land of the free had but
to make a grimace at France, had but
to say one word to Great Britain and
Russia, to involve this country in the
most destructive war in the world. He
said that Mr.. Lincoln's humor far from
indicating love of buffoonery was the
consciousness of power and assured
position.
The speaker was also sublimely elo-
quent when he touched upon Mr. Lin
coins attitude towards the people of
the South. HE wished to save us
from ourselves" he said. "He was the
greatest friend the South ever had"

charge of attempting to defraud the

FELTON, would give security for the loan.
He brought to the company an abstract

for the loan. The company told FELTON,
to have the abstract guaranteed and he
took 1t and the trust deeds to the Chi

found that the owner of the property
was N. w. Ravelin, who pronounced the
deeds to be forgerleS and caused the ar
