funds Raised to Secure National
Convention for st. Paul.
The entertainment given at Market hall
last evening under the auspices of the ten
local camps of Modern Woodmen of America
was success In every way. The proceeds
are to be used in sending delegation to
Dubuque To-, next month to secure, II pos
sible, the holding of the biennial meeting Of
the head camp OF the order in this city in
1899.
State Consul Thompson delivered "a short
address, in which he called attention to the
advantage to the city and the state that
would be derived by having the national
meeting of the order held in this city in 1885,
There would be over 800 delegates to the
camp, and the gathering would call to the
city in the neighborhood Of 5000 members
of the order who were not delegates. The
order, he said had a membership of 1900
in Minnesota, and by the end of the present
year it was expected the membership would
be larger than any other fraternal order in
the state. There were 1, 700 members in the
ten camps in St. Paul. and in addition to the
seventeen delegates who would attend the
meeting of the head camp in Dubuque in
June other members would attend and use
every effort to have the next session of the
head camp held in this city. The most &C
tive competitors in the race to secure the
next meeting are Kansas City, Mo-. and
Grand Rapids, Mich, but the ST. Paul mem
bers of the order claim that with proper back
ing and work the prize can be pulled off by
St. Paul.
Following the talk made by State Consul
Thompson, an attractive programme was pre-
scented. F. H. Tenney gave two selections,
as also did the Odd Fellows quartette con-
sisting of William Jeffrey, ]. ]. Jones, O..

Rorno.H

Mrs. Smith Bitten by a Savage St.
BERNARD,
Mrs. L. P. Smith, living at 1862 Cap
ital avenue, was badly bitten by ST.
Bernard dog belonging toza .neighbor
yesterday morning. The brute sprang
at Mrs. Smiths throat, and in warding
him off her right forearm was twice
crushed between his jaws, leaving
four deep incisians on the upper side
Of the arm, where the animals teeth
sank into the flesh. Mrs. Smith at
once visited the Office Of DR.. Lancas-
ter, where the wounds were cauterized,
and, as the dog is declared to be in a
perfectly healthy condition, no fear
of rabies is entertained either by Mrs
Smith or her family.
The dog belongs to William Regain,
who lives directly back Of the Smith.
home, at 1853 Minnehaha street. Mrs
Smith had taken a pail Of milk to her
neighbours and had just stepped out
of the kitchen door on porch where
the brute lay, when the attack oc-
Cured. She had in her hand an earth
en- dish, which had been previously left
at Regan's, and, it is thought, that
the dog acted in supposed protection
of his masters property. With d,
savage growl he sprang at Mrs. Smith,
his weight almost knocking her down.
She threw up her arm and the dog
caught it in his mouth The brutes
master witnessed the attack from an
inner room, and shouted at the animal
but, before he could reach the scene,
the dog had again sunk his teeth into
the Woman's arm. Before he could
renew the attack Mr.. Regain drove
the dog away and assisted in attending
to Mrs. Smith. The health depart
ment was notified of the animals at.
tack upon Mrs. Smith, and DR.. Price
went out to Hamline to examine the
dog He found not the slightest symp-
tom Of rabies nor any indication that
the brute had more than endeavored
to guard the property of It's master
The dog has always been good natured,
though resenting the presence Of
strangers. Mrs. Smith views her ex-
perience lightly, and attaches no blame
to either the Regans or the dog.

e. r.. Van Doren Didn't Profit by
Breaking Out of Central.
E. r.. Van Doren, a painter formerly
in the employ Of BaZille & Partridge,
while prisoner at the central police
station yesterday on the charge of
drunkenness, fell from "a second story
window in attempting to escape from
custody, sustaining injuries which ne
cessitated his removal to the city
hospital. An examination at the hospi-
tai showed that no bones were broken,
but that several painful bruises and a
general shaking up were probably the
mans most serious hurts.
Van Doren was arrested at Seventh
and Jackson streets by Officer Jack
Hennessey. He had already leaped
into the basement Of the Schultz block
several times and was engaged in pro-
foundry saluting every female he met
At the station he said he had never
been arrested before, and as Jailer
John Harris was at lunch. he was
allowed the consideration Of being put
in the woman's ward. Shortly after
ward he forced the key from the out
with a key in his possession. Finding
an unbarred window in the storage
battery room he climbed out on the
sill an dropped. His foot struck the
lodge of window on the first floor,
throwing him to the ground upon his
back and shoulders. Van Doren was
unable to move when found by the
officers, but soon regained his strength
under the services of DR.. Brimhall,
who ordered his removal to the hospi-

SOME DIVISION OF SENTIMENT.
Some Inspectors Said to Favor Clos
ing the Branch High Schools
at Least.

A report was current around the
court house yesterday that the grand
jury might, while it was at the banks,
inquire into the affairs Of the North st.
Paul bank, which suspended at the
same time that the Allemannia did.
County Attorney Anderson had some
communication with Capt. H. A. Castle
about the matter. It was not heard
what conclusion the county attorney
come to in the premises. Seen at his
office later in the day regarding the
possibility Of an investigation into the
affairs of the North st. Paul bank,
Capt. Castle said there had been some
conversation with County Attorney
Anderson regarding the matter, but
it was not Of sufficient Importance to
delay his departure for Washington.
There were, said the captain, ample
assets to meet the banks liabilities, if
proper time was given them to be
negotiated, and the sooner the investi-
cation was had the sooner this fact
would develop. Capt Castle took hold
Of this small institution some two
years ago when the assets consisted
chiefly of what he calls "slow paper"
and when the liabilities were especially
heavy He gave his special attention
to liquidating as rapidly as possible
and still keeping the bank in solv-
ent condition. He reduced the state de-
posits from $4,000 to $1,000, in that
period, and also largely reduced the
county deposits. Capt. Castle is
authority for the statement that the
bank had ample reserve in the AL
lemannia bank, to protect the deposit
ors but that when the last named bank
failed, the North St Paul institution
was forced to go into the hands of a
receiver.
The statement was made yesterday
that owing to certain profits accru-
ing from recently made gold property
deals, the late president of the bank,
Lane K. Stone, would shortly take up
certain paper now being held by the
bank, and that this would still more
improve the local situation at North
st. Paul. 1t was ascertained by one
man Yesterday, supposed to be familiar
with the affairs, that there is absolute
ly nothing upon which to base an in
vestigation for any irregularity in the
bank
Capt Castle, the news of the con-
firmation Of whose appointment to the
position of sixth auditor of the United
States treasury, has just been received,
left last night for Washington to re-
port to the president for duty in his
new position. The captain was seen
away by a number Of his friends, and
will return in a fortnight to make ar
rangements for the removal of his
family TO their lake residence wltaYe

office last evening, and after transact
ing the business on hand, adjourned
to Odd, Fellows hall at Fifth and
Wabasha streets, where they partook
OF a supper served by the wives of the
members, and Exchanged "reminiscences
of the Southern war prisons.
The business meeting was held for
the purpose of considering certain
proposed amendments to the constitu-
ton and bylaws. The most innpor-
tant change adopted was that provid-
ing for the holding Of monthly meet
ings hereafter instead of assembling
but once in three months. The asso-
citation will in the future meet once a
month alternately in st. Paul and
Minneapolis. No meetings will be held
in June, July and August.
The executive committee was author
lied to duly appoint seven delegates to
represent the association at the meet
ing Of the national association to be

the Success Which the Commit
tee Has Achieved.

The Central Presbyterian church is
making a heroic effort to pay one half
their church debt, which amounts to
$4,000. The church was originally con-
structed at a cost of $110,000; about
$4,000 of this was pledged before the
church was built and has been gradu-
ally reduced until their present indebt-
edness amounts to 100000. Last fall
DR.. A. B. Medium, the pastor of the
church, called meeting Of the men Of
the congregation to discuss the best
plans for raising $1,000 interest which
was then due on the mortgage. AT
that meeting it was decided that a
determined concentrated effort should
be made, to first raise the interest,
and in the spring raise one-haIf Of the
principal by subscription. Dr. Mel
drums earnestness and, energy was
contagious, number Of meetings were
held and a. definite plan was decided
upon. The matter was placed in the
hands of committee consisting Of B.

of amounts to be paid November 1,
and to confine the efforts to the mem
bers of the Central congregation. The
ball was started with a number of
large subscriptions, which were pledged
on condition that the whole amount
asked for was to be forth coming.
The committee has been at work since
with untiring energy, it has to date,
raised over $4,000, besides paying up
last years interest. Considering that
the Central church has less than 700
members, and has comparatively few
wealthy men in it's congregation, this
is considered remarkable showing.
All that is required now to make up
| the amount asked for and to crown
their efforts with success is $4,000 The
church owns a large amount of I'M
improved real estate consisting of
about fifty lots in Phalen Park. which
it has been unable to dispose of for
anything near their assessed value
The interest on their debt, taxes and
current expenses has greatly handi-
capped the work of the church for the
past five years. DR.. Meldrum was
seen at his home by a reporter for the
u b e, yesterday, and said:
We have great hope Of success in
ie'islhS lii1s dHount, out IL can only
be done by dint of self-sacrifice and
prayer. Some of the incidents of self
sacrifice on the part of our members
have touched me deeply. I never saw
a church which was more united and
worked more tremendously for one OBJ
Ject than the Central church We have
a perfect organization, a large Sunday
school and large congregations both
Sunday morning and evening, and the
only thing which stands in the way of
our work is this debt Our members
are thoroughly aroused to the .neces-
sity of raising this debt, and I think
we will succeed. The Central church
is a peoples church, nearly all our
members are wage earners We rent
no pews. and no distinction is shown.
Rich and poor are welcome alike. Our
location is central, and the church will
stand for the next century,

An executive meeting Of the men,

evening. III the members were pres
ent. and for two hours there was an
animated discussion Members of the
board seen after adjournment stated
that nothing definite was decided upon.
From what could be learned, it ap-
pears there is division of sentiment
among the members as to the closing
of the branch high schools and the
manner in which expenses are to be
reduced. Some of the members are in
favor of abolishing the branch high
schools and the mechanical arts school
as the best way to keep within the re-
duced appropriation for the coming
school year. Those favoring this ac-
ton, however, are in the minority the
majority Of the board holding to the
idea that it would be better for the in
terests of the city and the pupils Of
the schools to go ahead with the pres
ent system. with a few minor changes,
and if the appropriation shall fall
short, cut the school year down q
month or so sooner next summer. It

GREAT ARTISTS TO APPEAR.

concerts.
In looking over the programmes for
the three May Musical festival con-
certs, it is at once apparent that two
of the most prominent names included
in the list of artists appear only on
the programme for the first concert,
on Monday, May IL. The names iii
question are those of Nine. Lillian
Blauvelt, the renowned soprano, and
Mrs. Katherine Bloodgood, the hand
some contralto. One of these two art
lists has been declared to be the great
est American singer, and the verdict
has been pronounced by no less author
ity than Nine Emma Calve. The other
one has, also by Nine. Calve, been pro-
nounced the most prepossessing artist
Those who desire to hear these two
singers will have to attend the first
of the three concerts, an event which
also in other respects will be well
worthy of attendance The sale of
tickets for the festival continued yes
terday with excellent results In view
of the great demand for tickets in ST.
Paul, the festival management has de-
scided to leave the tickets on sale at
Dyer's music store, this city, until

more money applicable for the scheo,
fund next year than is now estimated
by the city officials, and. in this event.
such a sweeping change in the system
as is proposed will not be necessary.
The members of the board at the
meeting last evening discussed mat
tiers in an informal way, and then de-
cided that it would be well to await
the result of meetings held in various
parts of the city relative to the schools
before taking final action. Another
meeting of the board will be held the
latter part of the week, at which the
budget which must, under the law, be
submitted to the council before June ],
will be taken up.
