everything seemed to be at hand to
make the occasion an enjoyable one
Over 500 invitations had been issued,

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

+ Mrs. H. G. 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

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 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 well
rendered.:
Violin solo, Charles Jaeger; vocal
solo, Miss Emma Verais; original reci-
tation, GU Cannon; vocal solo, Charles
Morrow; address, Rev. DR.. Danehey;
mandolin and guitar trio, John Snow,
George Bowler and c. Hurley; adj
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
short of forcing out the best that is i'll
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 a 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 we'll received.

CARE YOU AFRAID

to live with your husband?' was one
of the questions Attorney Townley
asked the plaintiff when she was on
the stand.
On the objection of Attorney Nc
Ghee, for the defense, the court ruled
that the question was not proper,
jnasmuch as it was not shown that
the cruel treatment was habitual.
Mr.. Townley then went on to argue
that mental cruelty was worse than
physical cruelty.
Every well, 1 will allow the CUES
ton, but it will have no weight with
me- remarked the court.
II will not ask it them" said Town
ley.
These mental conditions Of a
woman are sometimes very uncer-
TAIN continued the court. "One day
a woman might swear she was afraid
to live with a man, and the next day
swear she loved him and was not the
least bit afraid"
Townley then asked the witness
if the conduct of her husband in the
past had SO impressed her that she
was afraid to live with him, but the
question. was objected to.
Suppose he had struck her with
a fan, would it be competent to ask
her if in consequence Of the blow she
was afraid to live with him?"
queried the court, before ruling on
the question, at the same time clos
ing his right eye and assuming a
reflective expression.
Her mind and judgment would
have to CONTROL" returned Townley.
II would not give much for the
Judgment" was the quick response
of his honor. IF it had been shown
that the cruelty was habitual, it
would be all right to ask that ques-
ton But there is nothing to show
more than one act of violence in
this case Of course the effect de-
ponds somewhat upon the nature and
mental condition of the woman. A
small nervous woman might be seri-
ously affected, while large woman
able to take her own part would not
be-"
THAT is just what we want to
show" put in Mr.. Townley, as the
court ordered an adjournment until
morning.
''They want to show that the
PLAINTIFF is a weak, nervous woman,
who has been greatly abused, but
we will show that she has more than
once assaulted and even beat her
husband" shouted Attorney Nc
Chez, drowning the voice of the bal
lift, as he called out Hear We, hear
ye, etc.

the Next Loves Him to
Death.
HUMOROUS C0LL0QUYS
Between Court and Counsel
in an Action for Dr.
vorce.
WHERE MAN is CONCERNED.
HUMOROUS COLLO0UYS

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 a 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 him 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 five-year-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
70 he
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.

RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED

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 Z. j. Jones, of Minneapolis,
occupied the chair, and Representa-
tive J. K. Lamborn, of Nebraska,
acted as secretary. The following
representatives 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. II. Laughlin.
Iowa-Hon. James Wilson and
Hon. ]. c. Baker.
Nebraska - State Senator P. G.
Stewart and Representative ]. 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. ]. 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
