had been adopted by a rising vote
introduced Prof. Booker T. Washing
ton, principal of the colOred industrial
school at Tuskegee, Alabama. In his
Introduction Capt. Castle recalled that
81 year ago the legion had been ad-
dressed by an eloquent representative
of the reconstructed South, and then
called upon Prof. Washington, who in
stantly won his hearers by his able
talk, interspersed with witty remarks
on the problem of SO educating the ne
groes that they would be entitled to
the consideration guaranteed them by
the constitution. He enlarged on the
necessity of teaching them to use their
hands, as well as their heads and
minds, and spoke briefly of the work
which was being done in his school in
Alabama.
Prof. Washington made a most ia
Vorable impression, and his remarks
were more than once punctured by
laughter and applause.
The last speaker of the evening was
Archbishop Ireland, who reached the
meeting at a late hour. He delivered
a mastery summing up of the condi-
tons which constitute the problem of
educating the negroes, and declared
the scene he had just witnessed most
significant one, when an educated ne
gro, who had formerly been a slave,
another mans chattel could rise and
address the representative men of the
North.
This was, however, he argued, a log
zeal sequence of the civil war, and was
a plain augury Of still better things to
come in the future.
The problem was not in disposing Of
the negroes, but in fitting them or help
ing them to fit themselves for the best
enjoyment Of the privileges extended
to them by the constitution. There
could not be, at least for the present
any equality between the whites and
the blacks. for there was no such thing
even between the whites. Men sought
out those whose tastes or intelligence
made them desirable friends or COM
panions. But such an equality or ap-
proach to it could be given the colored
men who, by their efforts and the as
sistance of their white brethren, could
raise themselves to a position which
commanded respect. The mere hue of
a mans face did not count with Christ,
the Father of all the people, who, as
His children, were bound to disregard
this mere difference.

BOREALIS REX HAPPY.
His Favorite Weather en- Route to
St. Paul.

At late hour last night the chief
Of the weather bureau at Washington
granted the request Of BOreallS Rex

others in the Northwest the following
manifesto:
is coming. The temperature in the two Da-
kotas and northern part of Minnesota Will
fall between 20 and % deg. by Wednesday
night, and will be accompanied by hlgn WINGS
and driving snow.
This means that those readers of the
G 10 b who reside Immediately in the
city will have time to get their winter
wraps out, for the effect of the storm
is hardly expected here before Thurs
day morning. How much it will be
modified by that time it is hard to state,
but it is reasonably safe to say that the
gracefully rising walls of the ice fort
on Aurora avenue will not waste away
under the scorching sun for from sew
enty-two to ninety-siX hours yet.

a good idea to carry in plenty of wood
and coal from the back yard before it
settles down for a spell, and it would
not be a bad idea to take the snow
shovel out to the family grindstone and
sharpen up its feeding side preparatory
to the first campaign Of 1896
For those who live without the pale
of the l o b e S city circulation. it is
useless to offer advice, for they
have undoubtedly received official
Information in cipher, or even minus
zero readings, before even the G l b es
prompt circulation service can reach
them. If however, the railroads can
not carry out their mail deliveries, ar
engagements will be made to tie together
Messrs. Dunn and Vandiver, in order
to thaw out the drifted cuts. If there
is any blockade, it must be so as to
keep the people in st. Paul, not to keep
them from coming here.

STRONG SPEECHES IN FAVOR OF
IMPROVING THE NATIONS
WATERWAYS.
BIG MEETING AT PITTSBURG
OF THE CHIEF SPEAK
Frs.
CONGRESS MUST GIVE MONEY
Canals Z Vast Help TO Commerce and
the Business Of The Rail-
roads.

PlTTSBURG, Pa, Jan. IA large
gathering of the city's representative
business men assembled today at the
chamber of commerce and listened at
tentively and approvingly to a num-
Der of speeches on the subject of wa
terways improvement. Each speaker
dwelt on the immense advantage 10
accrue from improved waterways, and
many facts and figures were shown
to prove their position. Owing to I'M
aYoidabla causes neither Andrew Car
negie nor Congressman John DalZeu
could be present as announced but
both sent letters indorsing any prac-
teal scheme for international improve
ment. The principal speakers were
s. A. Thompson, of Duluth, one Of the
best-posted men on international i'm
provements and lake statistics in the
country. and Lewis NJ. Haupt, chair
man of the committee on harbor and
navigation of the Trades league, of
Philadelphia
Mr.. Thompson said that, outside OF a
canal which will connect the lakes with
the ocean, the building of the Lake
Erie and Ohio river canal is the most
could be made in this country Mr.
Thompson explained the positions and
advantages of water and land trans
portatlon, and showed, by making COM
parsons with other countries which
have improved waterways, that they
We're benefit to the railroads. Mr..
Thompson thought that money to free
the Monongahela river should be fur
nished by congress, and said the Ohio
river, which furnishes so much of the
tonnage for the Mississippi and its
tributaries, should be by all means i'm
proved with the most modern system
of locks and dams
Mi. Haupt in mis- address gave a his
tory of the different modes of traffic
IN Pennsylvania, and produced some
startling statistics. He said the benefit
| of improved river facilities and the
building of the proposed ship canal
between this city and the lakes has
no limits. This ship canal should be
built, and the Ohio should be improved
from its mouth to it's source The
| money for the Improvement of the
Ohio river should be appropriated by
congress and should be spent iudicious-
ly. During the existence of the United
States there has been spent for lake
improvements the sum of $4,000 600.
and in one year alone the lakes have
saved to ship owners the enormous
sum of $3.50 900 900.
Following Mr.. Haupt, minute ad-
| dresses were made by many of the
| audience. a series of resolutions were
| adopted indorsing the bill placed be-
fore congress by Congressman Dalzell
| yesterday to grant national charter
for the Lake Erie and Ohio ship canal
calling on the government to provide
money for free navigation throughout
the country, and instructing congress-
men from this district to support such
measures

DEDICATED IN STYLE.
Brilliant Services in the Opening of
the 4. o. L. w. Hall

The new A. o. u. w. temple at Eighth
and Wabasha streets was dedicated last
night. The entertainment in honor OF
the dedication was attended by at least
LOGO people, as the spacious hall on the
third floor of the building was literally
packed. A supper and ball followed
the dedication ceremonies and enter
tainment.
The new quarters are to be occupied
by Lodges g 3, 4, 5 and II. They COM
prise the second and third floors of the
building. The second floor contains
two lodge rooms, a reception room and
a dining hall. The large hall and q ca
pacious room adjoining are on the third
floor. The quarters are cOmmodious,
comfortable and nicely furnished.
Mayor Smith presided over the enter
tainment, which began at 8 p. m. with
an overture by Ryder's mandolin Or
chestra.
In his opening address Mayor Smith
congratulated the A. .. L. W. lodges
upon their new quarters, and likewise
commended the members for the lively
interest in the order that the splendid
attendance indicated. His honor was
especially pleased to see so many ladies
present.
The mayor is nothing if not brief when
it comes to speechmaking, so without
prolonging his address he proceeded, as
chairman Of the meeting, to formally
deliver over to Grand Master Workman
Fred M. Lloyd the new temple. After
his honor had finished reading this por-
ton of the ritual, Grand Master Work
man Lloyd inaugurated the dedication
ceremonies, in which Past Grand Mas
ter Workman George NJ. Laing, Grand
Foreman Kinds, Grand Recorder Olaf
Olson. and Grand Medical Examiner A.
X Norton, of Minneapolis, also partic-
ipated.

we'll executed piano solo, after which
the large assemblage listened toan earn
est address by Judge j. w. Willis.
Judge Willis dwelt upon the value and
benefit of fraternity, complimented the
order highly for its enterprise in secur-
ing such admirable and handsome quar-
ters.
Grand Recorder Olson and Past Grand
Master Laing also delivered brief adj
dresses.
The musical and literary programme
which followed comprised an instru-
mental trio by the Hayden family, a
recitation by Miss Margaret Lennon, a
baritone solo by John +. Gehan, a
song by Miss Anna Collins and comic

BONDS AS RESERVE.
Minnesota Banker Says the Idea
Would Work We'll.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Several
members of congress have heard from
their constituents in the banking bust
ness, upon the forthcoming bond issue,
with the requests that some sort of
legislative provision be attempted to
allow the use of the bonds in reserves.
By this arrangement, it is said, the
smaller banks would subscribe more
freely TO the issue. A bill. with this
purpose has been introduced by Mr.
Odell, Of New York, providing that not
fifty per cent of the reserves may be
held in bonds, but no committee action
has been taken on it. T. B. Clement
president of the First National Bank
of Faribault, Mimi, has telegraphed to
Representative Heatwole that if the
bond bill which passed the house and is
before the senate can be amended to
permit banks to hold the bonds for
limited time as part of their own re-
serve the banks undoubtedly will eX-
change gold for the total issue, and the
banks of his section would make large
subscriptions. Comptroller Eckels, of
the treasury, spoke rather disparaging-
~ of the movement, and suggested that
banks could not pay depositors in
bonds. and that they might be en-
barrassed in case of unexpected de-

through this caused the fire. The par
tition was Of light wood, and within
a short time after ignition was en-
veloped in flames. The infiamnable
nature Of the stock added seriously to
the progress of the fire, and made 1t
much more difficult to fight. The
chemical apparatus was first applied
by the fire department, but it was soon
found to be Intellectual, and water was
turned on.
The walls and fixtures were badly
charred, and serious loss was also sus-
tanned in the destruction of the large
plate glass windows. Eugene Valen-
tine, owner Of the building, stated to a
G o b e reporter that he estimated his
damages at not less than $500, covered
by insurance.
The stock Of millinery ignited so
quickly that it was impossible to re-
move much of it, and the damage sus-
tanned was estimated by Mrs. Cameron
at 81 900. Enough insurance was car
ried, however, to cover the damage.
A defective fiue caused a slight fire
at the Hotel Scandal, Sibley street
between Fifth and Sixth, last night
The application of the chemicals pre-
vented any serious loss.

DEATH OF A CHILD
WIZ BE Investigated by the Author
tiles To-day.

Secretary Hutchins, of the Relief So
ciety, notified Coroner Whitcomb yes
terday morning that there was a case
out on Rice street which he thought
needed investigation. 1t was that of a
child which HAD died after a months
existence, and the secretary informed
the coroner that he had heard the child's
life could have been saved by proper
attention. Coroner Whitconb visited
the number given him by the secretary,
and was told that no child had died
there recently, although the death Ger
tificate in the health office correspondent
with the number. His investigation, of
course, was cut short at that point. He,
however, decided to take Secretary
Hutchins with him today and run down
the source Of the report.

resentative T. H. Baker, of Carroll
county, and Commissioner of Agricult-
ure Allison had two personal encoun-
ters in the capitol today, and hit each
other with their fists. but no damage
other than black eyes resulted. Baker
charged that Allison had furnished
transportation to farmers to attend the
farmers convention at the Atlanta ex-
position, and wanted to know by what
authority he was thus using the state

WAS ONLY A FAKE.
AnscI Oppenheim Is Not 81 Candidate
for Postmaster.

The report that Ansel Oppenheim
has been or is a candidate for the st.
Paul postotfice is incorrect. While it
was a matter of doubt to many when
the statement first appeared in print,
those who had previously doubted the
report, when they heard from Wash
ington that Mr. Oppenheim was among
the candidates, were inclined to give
credence to the report. Mr.. Oppenhefm,
who is abroad, in letter received by
friend in this city yesterday, set
ties all question about the matter. He
writes: Il wonder who got up that
fake about my being a candidate for

Santa Ee Costs,

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 14.-Master in
Chancery Johnson has filed his final
report Of the cost of the Santa F'e re-
ownership. 1t shows that the total
court expenses were 5000, 700. Sixty
thousand less than this was allowed
by the court, but the boldholders made
up the difference. Judge Johnson has
figured that before the receivership the
road was paying interest at the rate
of $4,000 a day. The interest charges
are now about half that.
