TELL HER | AN DEAD
SAD THANKSGIVING MESSAGE SENT
BY ONE SISTER TO AN
OTHER.
PARTED SINCE CHILDHOOD.
THE ELDER SENDS A BITTERLY
SORROWFUL REPLY TO THE
OTHERS QUEST.
ROBERT zALEsKT, OF CHICAGO,
Finds a Doubtful Success in a Long,
Hard Chase of the Missing
Girl.

Robert Zaleski, Of 500 Hoyne avenue,
Chicago, was in the city yesterday on
regulation Thanksgiving day mission.
With the assistance of Detective
Gruber, the Chicago visitor found the
object of his search. but he now wishes
that he had not started out on what
turned out to be such a sad quest.
Lizzie Mccormick, seventeen years
DID, is a friend of zaleski's wife, and
resides in Chicago Lizzie and her
sister Kate were left orphans by the
death of their parents fourteen years
ago, and were placed in an asylum at
Chicago. Kate was the eldest by three
years and was adopted by John Nc
Elhatton, of Charlotte, Clifton county,
10. This parted the sisters and they
have not seen each other since. Re
Gently Lizzie commenced search for
her sister and after considerable cor
respondence ascertained that Kate had
left Charlotte, Iowa, with the family
which had adopted her ten years ago.
The further information was given her
that the family of which Kate was a
member had gone either to Minneapolis
or st. Paul. Zaleski, to satisfy Lizzie,
came to st. Paul, and yesterday morn
ing started out with Detective Gruber
to, if possible, locate the young woman.
The family which adopted her was To-
Gated in Minneapolis at 1907 Eighteenth
avenue south, but inquiry there
brought out the fact that the girl had
been turned over to st. Joseph's orphan
asylum in that city in 1888. From that
institution Kate went to the House of
the Good Shepherd in st. Paul. Back
to ST Paul came the officer and the
Chicago man, and at the last men
toned institution it was learned that
the girl had been turned over to
family which, at the time, lived on
Smith avenue this city. This family
was found living on ST. Anthony hill,
but could give no information as to the
present whereabouts of the girl. 1t was
intinated that she had drifted from
the straight and narrow path, but the
Chicago visitor was anxious to find her
and refused to give UP the search on
any intimation of this kind. By this
time Detective Gruber had learned a
description of the missing sister and
at once placed her as a former inmate
of a resort on Jackson street. The
trail was taken up and after some in
Quiries the girls address was found
to be in Minneapolis. The detective
and the Chicago man visited Mime
apolis last evening and at a disrepu-
table resort on the East side the
young woman was found She was
much affected by the news from her
sister, but when asked if she did not
care to leave her present life and re-
turn to Chicago refused, saying that
IT would be best to inform her sister
that she was dead. This announce
nlent the young woman thought would
I1,& Ia
much better than to have her told the
facts.

REVERSED IT ONCE
TO THEM THAT HAD NOT WAS
GIVEN, NOT TAKEN
AWAY.
SPIRIT OF A NATIONAL DAY
PERVADED A NUMBER OF CHARI-
TIES THAT GLADDENED SOME
GLOOMY HOMES.
THE GOSPEL OF THANKSGIVING
Animated the Community in Spite
of Weather That Spoiled An
ticipated Pleasures.

Living up to the motto that the poor
we have always with u.s." the Salvation
Army yesterday sent gladnesS to over
200 hearts and filled an equal number
of hungry stomachs with turkey and
cranberry sauce. The charity, or a bet
ter word still. the thoughtfulness mani
tested by the Salvation Army was one
which showed the true merit of that
grand organization. 1t was practical
Christianity, of the kind which makes
the poor take a new hope in life and
which makes the impostor ashamed Of
his deception.
The men and women of the army tri-
umphed over the mysteries of the
kitchen. The army lasses, adding an
apron to their regimentals, carried
armfuIs Of dishes and tempting trays
to the hungry poor who crowded into
the Wacouta street barracks until the
food was all gone and the last scrap
had been eaten.
Extra tables were placed in the COM
modious room, and around these were
seated for several hours people who,
had they been compelled to look else
where for their gobble feast, would
have gone turkeyless. Ensign Jewell
and his wife superintendent the work
and were ably assisted by the st. Paul
corps. Charles Bollerslav and Harry
Wheeler, members of the army and
incidentally cooks on railway dining
cars running into the city, took off
their army clothes and in the white
livery of the kitchen cut and cooked.
stewed and brewed for charitys sake.
They served turkey and cranberry
sauce, chicken, roast pork, potatoes,
turnips, fruit, pastry, tea and coffee,
cake. bread, ETC., etc.
Everything was free. Not cent
was asked for the tempting outlay.
Poor people, who had not the price of
a bean, had all they could eat for the
asking. The people who were served
were for the most part men. Many Of
them had not had work for months.
Many Of them were strangers in the
city, wanderers on the face Of the
earth, who were attracted to the din
ner by the announcement that it was
free. Two of the banQuetted sons Of
toll stood on the outside of the hall
within ear shot Of a soldier in plain
clothes. The two were talking about
the bully feed" they had just eaten.
Them folks is alright. They has the
right kind of Christianity. They don't
preach about givin' and then keep their
own nit shut"
That's the talk" was the reply Of
the other. 1.-The rich guys would have
turned us down, and the blokes at the
Bethel would have made us buck the
saw fer half a cord
Dozens of other similar remarks were
made, and 200 people slept last night
with the satisfaction of knowing that,
after all, in this hard world, there was
some real kindness.

DORCAS IS WILLING.
She and Her Company VIII Sing
Sunday Night.

A bitter contention has been going on be-
tween Manager L. n. Scott. OF the metro
poI;tan and Frederick M. McCloy, the busl-
ness manager of the ''Dorcas" company, since
The latter gentIenlan's arrival in st. Paul last
Monday night Manager Scott had announced
that 'Dorcas would begin its engagement
Sunday night, and when Mr.. McCloy became
aware of that fact he FASTENED to MI. Scout
end stated that the announcement was errone-
Gus; that the artists of his company would
not play Sunday night, and that such
thing was not contemplated when the engage
ment was made. Manager Scott promptly
produced his contract. and called Mr.. NC
Cloy's attention to the fact that the words
Commencing Nov. 29 clearly appeared
therein.
Still Mr.. McCloy was not satisfied. Finally
q telegram was sent to the individual mem
bers Of the company asking if they would ap-
pear Sunday night and they replied that
they would
Referring to the matter, Manager Scott
said yesterday: 81 appreciate fully Mr.. Nc
Clogs position in the matter, because
know from experience now delicate an un-
dertakng it is to get artists like those OF
the "'Dorcas' company to sing Sunday nights,
except, of course, on special occasions like
concerts or the singing OF an oratorio. Ar
fists like Miss Davenport, Miss Willard, Miss
Donaldson, Mr. BasSett, Mr.. Brodertck and
the others in this organization are justified
in saving their voices as much as possible,
and l do not blame them for not wanting to
sing seven nights in the week. But con-
tract Is contract, and | propose to have
those that l make fulfilled. However. | am
glad that the outcome fnsures a Sunday
night performance of "Dorcas," because
there are a great many people who cannot
attend the theater on any other evening in
the week, and | am sure that everybody in
St. Paul who loves good music, and who has
a high appreciation OF the musical art in its
best sense, will want to witness this per-

WHO CAPTURED DEANr
Dawson House Burglar Is a Bone
of Contention


Robert Dean was arraigned in the DO
lice court yesterday, charged with bur-
glary. Dean is the person who the po-
lice claim stole q pair of diamond cuff
buttons from the residence Of William
Dawson Jr. in September last. Dean
was committed to the county jail in de-
fault Of bail, and the hearing Of his
case set for Tuesday. Detectives Wer-
rick and Wells claim credit for the
arrest Of Dean, and say that Detective
Hoy, of Minneapolis, had nothing to
do with the capture Of the prisoner.
The detectives say that William
Brooks, arrested last Sunday night at
the time Cloyd and Blaclxie were taken
in custody, gave them the tip that a
negro who lived in Minneapolis had a
pair Of cuff buttons answering the de-
scription Of the pair lost by Dawson.
With this clue Werrick and Wells say
they went to Minneapolis and with the
assistance Of Detectives MorrisSey and
Lawrence found the man Brooks had
seen with the buttons. This individual
at once told the officers about Dean
giving him the buttons and requesting
him to pawn them for him. He went
with the detectives to the pawn shop,
and after this, all that was necessary
was to find Dean. The fellow was
found in q gambling room, arrested by
Morrissey and Lawrence and turned
over to the st. Paul officers. Accord
ing to their stories Hoy wasn't in it
at all.

RAINED THTRTY-SIX HOURS,
Which Is Probably Rec ord for No

vember showers.
From q meteorological standpoint,
Thanksgiving day was productive of
everything but thanks or causes there
for
The rain storm which began Wednes-
day morning was still in a vigorous
state when midnight broke into Thurs
day, and in the early morning hours
it was like the familiar Soakers of
April, drenching everything and every
one who CHANGED to be exposed to it's
fury. Daybreak found it still in force,
and all the forenoon it kept up, max
ing pedestrianism a plague and home
life an added pleasure. About p. m,
however, it ceased raining, and for a
moment there was an suspicious rift
in the clouds which brought promise
of merry sunshine, ira a. It was a
vain hope, however, and before the
clouds broke night had fallen. Mean
time, it was growing colder, and where
there had been a splash of a rain drop
on the stone sidewalk soon appeared
the crystalline tracery of Jack Frost.
Even on this glass, however, walking
was not as difficult as it had been in
the slop and ice of the night before,
and in the departing hours of the festal
day it truly brought cause for Thanks
giving.
The sloppy condition of the earlier
hours Of the day, however, spoiled the
plans of many pleasure seekers, as
we'll as the hosts of the skating Kinks,
who had counted on entertaining them.
The Kinks now figure on opening Sat
urday.
The social events of last night, how
ever, were, fortunately, not interfered
with. the frost making sufficient con-
quest before outgoing hours so that
my lady's gown need not be dragged
in mud.
About Ii o'clock, however it began
to snow, still remaining cold.
Continued cold weather is looked for
today. Terrific snow storms have been
raging in the country to the north
west, and before tonight there may be
good sleighing.

JURETTE DID NOT WAIT.
This Morning He VIII Probably Get
Scant COURTESY

Peter Jurette, a resident of the West
side, was arrested Wednesday evening
for drunkenness. He was taken to
court yesterday morning by Capt.
Getchell, but the officer and prisoner
arrived before the bull pen," or rather
the outer entrance to that place was
opened. Capt. Getchell told Jurette to
wait until he went around and opened
the door and explained to the prisoner
that he would make an appeal to the
judge to have him discharged. Jurette
evidently thought he ought to be thank
full, and as it might interfere with the
pleasures of the day to wait until the
court opened. he quietly stole away
during the absence Of the police official
Capt. Getchell didn't say anything
which would look well in print, but he
directed all the patrolmen on the West
side to make an effort to find Jurette
and bring him to the station. Jurette
was taken in custody yesterday after
noon and locked up at the Ducas street
station. There will be no interference
by Capt. Getchen against the full PEN
atty being imposed this morning.

HOW DID 1T RAPPENe
Man Found In Great Western Yards
Badly Hurt.

Shortly before 8 O'Clock last evening
Special Officer Goggan, Of the Great
Western road, found a man, evidently
intoxicated, in the railroad yard at
Fillmore and Starkey streets Patrol
man Hurley was notified of the find,
and the fellow was taken to the Ducas
street station. He was not able to
talk coherently, and Lieut.. Cook sum-
moned DR.. Brimhall one of the city
physicians. The physician ordered the
man sent to the city hospital. At /
O'Clock this morning the patient was
in seni-conscious condition. and the
doctor stated that he possibly had
fracture Of the skull. The man, who
is about forty years old, and fairly
well dressed, was not able to give his
name, but from papers found in his
pocket it is supposed he is Edward
FUrree, living on Chestnut street, near
West Seventh. At the hospital he
talked about being employed by a COM
mission firm, and he had in his pocket
price list of apples, potatoes and 9TH
er produce.
