TURN OUT TONIGHT.

Tonight will be held at Market hall
the grand ratification meeting. to put
the seal OF approval on the ticket NOM
mated last Monday by the Democrats
OF st. Paul. To the general interest
that always attaches to such an occa-
tance Of signing the petition by which
the names Of these candidates will be
placed upon the official ballot. 1t will
be local celebration of the signing
Of a declaration Of independence, by
which the people Of this city announce
their intention to put into office the
splendid and representative ticket
presented to them in the name of the
reorganized Democracy. This is one
Of the occasions which no true Demo-
crat should miss. Market hall ought
to be and will be filed to overflowing
by the friends Of good government, Of
honesty and competence in public
place.
1t Is not enough that people should
approve, as they do approve, the
course. Of the Democratic party; that
they should express, as they have ex-
pressed, their satisfaction and delight
at the action which has been taken;
that they should vote, as they are pre-
pared to do, for the men whose names
have been offered to them as a guaran-
tee Of the sincerity and earnestness Of
our purpose. All that is well. But
for tonight we want a rousing demon
stration, worthy of the event that it is
to celebrate. Every loyal Democrat
has a share in these rejoicings; he has
also a duty toward the men who have
undertaken to realize the aspirations
of our people. That duty calls for the
presence Of Democrats at the ratifica-
tion jubilee tonight; and it is less
duty than a pleasure
Come out and hear the telling
speeches that will be made partake of
the enthusiasm that already fills the
public heart and that will grow with
every day that passes between this
and the date Of election. Come out
and add your presence and your voice
to the tribute to the Democracy Of St.
Paul. Come out and let it be said in
your favor that your name Is one Of
those attached to the document whose
signers will always remember this as
one Of their proudest acts for PARTY
and people. Give the campaign a rat
Ting send-off, and begin from tonight
the activity that is to place the nomi-
nees Of the Democratic party in charge
of our city's affairs for the next two
years.

VOLUNTEERS WANT PAY.
st. Anthony Park Firemen Are After
Compensation.

delegation of residents Of st. Anthony
Park was present at the meeting of the board
of fire commissioners last night and presented
petition from the men consisting of the
volunteer fire company out there, asking
that they be paid some compensation for their
services in the future. It was urged that the
amount required would not exceed the COM
pensation of one man permanently employed,
and that the citizens of st. Anthony Park
were entitled to this consideration in view
Of the fact that they are taxed for the sup
port of the fire department for the entire city.
1t was claimed that st. Anthony Park has
more manufacturing institutions than either
Merriam Park or Hamline. and was just as
much entitled to fire protection as either of
these places, and unless some compensation
was provided for the volunteers, they would
refuse to serve.
President Freeman reminded the delega-
tlon of the fact that when the people of St.
Anthony Park asked for an engine house and
its equipment with fire apparatus, they prom
tsed to provide a volunteer company to take
charge Of 1t. 1t was with this distinct under
standing that the building was erected and
equipped with team and engine. Now they
came In and wanted compensation for these
volunteers. and the board has not got funds
to meet the expense, even If inclined to do
so.
The delegation assured him that that prom
Use was mace Dy only few men, and that
the great bulk of the business men of the
place were not responsible for It.
Chief Jackson replied that a petition to
that effect had been signed by some thirty
three residents Of the Park when the matter
was first brought I'D.
In view Of the fact that two members of the
board. Messrs Clark and Warner, were alb
sent President Freeman said no action would
be taken until the next meeting, when he
would lay the matter before the board. This
was satisfactory, and the delegation departed
The veterinary surgeon reported that nine
horses in the department had been found un-

Chief Jackson reported having, in connection
with the veterinary, purchased two horses at
Northfeld, for service in the department
paying therefore $21O He said they were very
good ones. The chief also reported on some
accidents in the department, and other mat
ters of minor Importance The report was
accepted.
The other matters considered by the board
were of a routine nature.

All this is very interesting as show

MILLET AND BARBIZON.
Charles Sprague Smith on the Artist
and His Haunts.

Charles Sprague-Smith last evening at the
Peoples church delivered the first of q series
of lectures on the Artists of Barbizon," under
the auspices Of the Society Of Fine Arts. A
large audience was present, and was delight
fully entertained by the initial number, a
thoughtful and careful review Of the life and
works of Jean Francois Millet. perhaps the
foremost Of the artists of Barbizon, especially
in his distinctive love of the surroundings OF
that picturesque rustic community. The lee
ture was finely illustrated, the pictures in
Guiding not only excellent photographs of
Barbizon and its environs. including the view
of the chapel whose belfry has been immortal
lied in ''The Angelus." but a comprehensive
series Of slides, showing subjects of Millets
brush, from his youth down through his ma
turer years. The narrator detailed the strug
giles which the artist had with poverty, and
dwelt on the moral heroism which led him
when still young man to sacrifice the nudes,
which, though often sensual, were not only
lucrative, but artistic, q sacrifice that led to
many days Of fasting, but which was fully
compensated for by the plaudits Of his own
conscience, and the contentment Of a soul
which found it's expression in the portrayal Of
the life about him. The domestic spirit found
It's outcropping in many Of these rural sketch
es while the realistic portrayal Of the plod-
ding yoemanry was provocative Of much crit
icism in his own time, being assumed to be
protest against the existing social conditions.
The lecturer illustrated, by a series of snap
shots, however, that In pose and general char
acteristics, the rustics of "The Angelus," and
of the Cleaners and the ''Haymakers'' are
close to the modern denizens of the village in
the edge Of the forest.
The second lecture will be given Thursday

EVERYBODY GRAT1FIEp.

On the evening of the day when the
Democratic nominations were made,
the air of st. Paul was reverberant
with expressions Of delight. The out
come Of the convention was greeted
with unqualified satisfaction by those
who had awaited It's action with in
tense interest. Yesterday the people
had had time to think the matter over,
to scrutinize the list of names pre-
sented for their suffrages, to give
Judgment its place beside enthusiasm,
and to express their sober second
thought. We are pleased and salts
fed, though not surprised, to find that
this second thought is even more IA
vorable than the first. The ticket
which people pronounced at tie first
glance a strong one is declared after
examination to be invincible. The
G o e publishes this morning such
scattering comment as it has gathered
by the way in the course of a days
collection of the news. No individuals
were selected to be seen. No attempt
was made to interview men known to
be in favor Of the candidates, or to
work up an expression of opinion in
their behalf. 1t has merely laid its
finger upon the public pulse, and finds
that its beatings record q practically
universal and unqualified approval of
the Democratic ticket
While it is, Of course, both proper
ny,5 v@la
racy Of the men named is recognized,
and that Democrats are first and loud
est in their praise, 1t is no less signif1-
cant that Republicans, wherever you
meet them, are scarcely less united or
emphatic in declaring that no objec-
ton to or criticism Of the nominations
can be made. There is a. deep-rooted
feeling, long fixed in the public mind,
that Mr.. Cullen is an ideal candidate
for mayor. Republicans as we'll as
Democrats admire and trust him, and
he will secure large portion of their
votes. The same is true of most of
the other candidates. So careful was
the selection. so excellent the judg-
ment Of this convention which met at
no mans dictation and studied no
mans interest, but acted for the well
fare and advancement of the whole
community, that 1t is the whole COM
munity which responds. Never has
any ticket been placed in the field in
st. Paul that secured an Endorsement
SO instant, overwhelming and perma-
nent. If the election had taken place
yesterday, the whole ticket would
have received majority. That ma
jority will have grown several sizes
|. larger by the fifth Of May.
