MONUMENT FUND ENRICHED
HANDSOMELY AT A MEETING AT
ST. JAMES A. Nj. e. CHURCH
LAST NIGHT.
rHE MARTYR OF ossAwAToMIE
EulOgized and His Work Narrated
in Grateful Remembrance By
Those He Aided.

Services were held at the St. James
African M. E. church last evening in
honor of the memory of John Brown.
At a meeting held in Washington a
year ago resolutions were adopted to
the effect that the second Sunday in
May of each year services be held in
all colored churches in honor Of John
Brown. Yesterday the day fell on the
anniversary of the birth of the mar
tyred hero, which added interest to the
services.
Rev. S. B. Jones, pastor of the
church, in opening the services, said
that as a church it was the duty to in
still Christian patriotism in the young.
As race, there was feeling of graft
tude in the heart of every Afro-Ameri-
| can for the me u1ory of Charles Sumner.
Abraham Lincoln and John Brown.
For the freedom that the colored race
We're now erjoying John Brown lad
lived, fought and died. 1t was the in
tention to establish some tangible
tribute TO his memory.
w R. Morris, OF Minneapolis, spoke
entertainingly OF the benefactor of the
race. Some time ago movement had
been started to show in a way just
how much gratitude the people of the
race felt for a man who had sacrificed
his life for them. John Brown had
given up his life, not that single man
should be liberated, but that mankind
should be free No one race could be
benefited without benefiting all man
kind. When John Brown laid down his
life for freedom he was a martyr for
all men. Three years ago Mrs. T. H.
Lyles, of St Paul, started a movement
looking toward the placing of a marble
monument over the resting place of
John Brown. 1t was afterWard decided
that the most fitting monument would
be the establishment of university or
great school, which could be carried Oh
as a living monument to his memory.
This idea has been taken up by the
African M. E. church and indorsed by
the highest officials Of the organization.
Intelligence was desired by the race,
and every avenue should be pursued by
which it could be secured. The work
was one which appealed to ali, and it
was but right that it should be for
Warded with ali might and main. One
thing necessary was funds, and the
race in Minnesota should do it's part
i'll the great work OF erecting and main
tanning the educational institution.
Mrs. 7. H. Lyles gave a brief sketch
OF the life and death of John Brown,
and closed by saying that while Patrick
Henry had said, "Give me liberty or
give me DEATH" John Brown had given
his life that his fellow men might Sc
cure their liberty.
Vocal selections by the church choir
and male quartette added TO the SER
vices and a. contribution was taken up
for the aid of the monument fund.

BROKE NO RECORDS.
Century Cyclists Are Interrupted BY
Pseudo Police


The projected century run of fifteen Twin
City bicyclists, who were going to endeavor to
break the 100-mile record over the Mortified
course, was rudely interrupted just south of
the high bridge yesterday by three men,
who brandished clubs and claimed to be st.
Paul policemen.
The race started with fifteen men on scratch
from Tenth street and Park avenue Charles
Palm, John Nilsson and James Harper early
left the bunch, and were speeding away
towards st. Paul, with strong wing at their
backs that helped the flyers along They
reached st. Paul and crossed the high bridge.
At this point cyclists are allowed to ride on
the sidewalk, and the riders took advantage
Of the ordinance. short distance beyond
the bridge is the line between Ramsey and
Dakota counties. 1t was at this place that
trouble was experienced. The wheelmen say
that they were riding in the road at this
point, of course, going fast, as men naturally
would in a race They were accosted by
three men, who carried clubs, and wore stars.
Otherwise they were ununiformed. Nilsson
was caught, while the other two managed to
get away. Nilsson rudely grabbed by one
of the policemen, and informed that he was
under arrest for riding too fast. There
no attempt made to remove him to jail. He
was told that if he paid So he would be al
lowed to go. This sum Nilsson paid, which
one of the men pocketed.
He then made his way back to Minneapolis
one of the most disguised men that ever
came out of a race. Palm and Harper had
quite an experience before they managed to
escape the alleged limbs Of the law They
did not intend to be, imposed upon in this
way, and so made rush for freedom. Palm
ran considerable distance with his wheel
before he could mount it One of the police
men while chasing him threw his club at him,
striking him in the leg and injuring him
quite severely. Harper escaped uninjured.
The twain then made their way back to Min
neapolis. On the way they met the other
riders, and informed them what had trans
pired in Dakota county. By general consent
the race was declared off.
The cyclists are incensed over the affair.
1t is stated that this is not the first time
that bicycle riders had been stopped at this
point and fined before being taken into court.
Many are of the opinion that the men are not
policemen, but simply following this occupa
ton to secure revenue
The Prior avenue police were kept busy
yesterday by violators of the bicycle ordi-
nance. During the Afternoon Officer Twohy
arrested F. Angel, A. Rosenberg, F. Kelar,
R. Benson and H. Schlaten, of Minneapolis,
for fast riding on the University avenue side
walks, and last evening the following wheel
men were locked up on the charge of riding
on the walks without bells or whistles:
George Burntzen, F. H. Page, Frank Law
renee, w. w. Hoadley, E. Hawkins, H. H.
Andrews, w. w. Taylor and J. N. SCHUYLER.
Most of the prisoners deposited bail for their
appearance in the municipal court today,
though some of them were without money
and were forced to spend the night in Jail.

CALLED HIM SUDDENLY
BEYOND.
SLIPPED FROM HIS CHAIR
WHILE CONVERSING WITH HIS SON
IN HIS FRONT
YARD.
In the Opinion of Dr.. Esh eIby, Who
Did Not Believe an Inquest
Necessary.

| Edward p Brett, living with his fam
| lily al 76 Sycamore street, dropped dead
on the lawn in front of his home short
ly after o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Death came suddenly and without
warning. Mr.. Brett was conversing
with his son, Rev. George Brett when
he raised his hand to his head and fell
to the ground. 1t was thought that
he had simply fallen into a faint, and
DR.. Eshelby was Immediately sum-
moned, but his services We're of no
avail, as it was evident that death had
been instantaneous. It was the opin-
ion of Dr. Eshelby that death resulted
from stroke of apoplexy and that a
coroner's investigation was unneces-
sary.
The deceased was siXty-seven years
old, and was employed as night watch
man at the Great Northern railroad
shops. He had not enjoyed the best
of health Of late, and during the last
two weeks suffered complicated at
tack of bronchitis and asthma. Under
the care of DR.. Eshelby Mr.. Brett had
about recovered from the pulmonary
trouble, and was yesterday enjoying
the outdoor air for the first time since
his illness. He and his son were sit
ting on the front lawn talking on gen.
eral topics, when the father, seemingly
indifferently, passed his hands across his
eyes, and, without a word or sound of
pain, fell from his chair lifeless. Ow-
ing to his having just arisen from
sick bed, it was, for the moment not
tho..>1t.t that he was dead and efforts
were made by his son to resuscitate
him while the physician was sum-
moned. Several neighbors who had
seen the old man slip to the ground
also ran to his assistance, but only the
warmth of the body led to the hope
that he was not dead, as no movement
of the heart or pulse could be detect
ed. With the arrival of the doctor, the
opinion that death had been instan-
taneouS was confirmed. Mr. Brett
leaves a wife and five children, the
youngest daughter seventeen years
Of age.

Police Raid 81 House Which AbOl-
ishes Racial Prejudices.


Shortly before o'clock yesterday
morning the patrol wagon was called
to a house on Ninth street, near jack
son street, to take a miscellaneous
load of negroes and white women to
the central police station on the charge
of disorderly conduct. The arrests were
made by Sergeant Ross and Officers
Perro and OMalley, who found two
well dressed white women in the COM
pany of three negro men and a negreSs
The white women gave the names of
Katie Johnson and Emma Gustafson
They said they were domestics, and
appeared in no way embarrassed by
their predicament. The negro woman
arrested was Anna Della, while the
men gave the names of Charles Will
son, James Howard and Henry Ward
The raid, it is said was the result
of frequent complaint against the place
where the prisoners We're found. as it
is alleged to be a resort of ill repute
where negroes and white women are
in the habit OF congregating in large
numbers. The police claim that at
times there have been as many as
from ten to fifteen white women in the
place during an evening. The prisoners
will be arraigned in the municipal
court today.
Sergeant Ross and Officer Perro also
investigated the Leslie house on Jack

IN THE TONGA TRIBES.
Rev. e. III. Richards Describes the
Mission Work There.

A union meeting of the missionary
societies of the Methodist church was
held at the Central Park M. e. church
yesterday afternoon for the purpose OF
listening to an address by Erwin II.
Richards on Home Life in Darkest
Africa" The meeting was we'll attend
ed and the interesting discourse OF MI.
Richards was enjoyed as only the re-
Cital of enc who has passed through
the scenes which he depicts can be. AS
an instruction in regard to missionary
work among the heather, the lecture
was an appeal which touched many Oh
the auditors.
The address of Mr. Erwin pertained
to what is known as East AFRICA
where he spent sixteen years IN Inc
Portuguese province of Mozambique
In this territory the speaker stated
there were $4,000 natives, whose HVes
were a blank so far as knowledge or
Christianity was concerned. Wlthln
the sound of the bell on his own small
missionary chapel were 10000 benlght-
ed natives. OF these, for the most part
of the Tonga tribes, Mr.. Richards spoke
eXtendedly concerning their habits and
every day life. A small satchel, which
he exhibited, contained every article of
wearing apparel known to the natives,
and he explained the use OF each arti-
Gle of clothing, none of which consisted
OF more than narrow strips Of beads or
skin. A number of photographs with
which MIR. Richards is supplied were
shown the audience after the lecture.
Among the people of whom he spoke
there were but two denominations rep
resented in missionary work. These
We're the Church Of England ard the
Methodist church, and their mission
aries were very few. There was an VI
gent need Of workers in the missionary
field in Africa, Mir. Richards said, and
an effort should be made by the home
church to meet the demand, where
souls We're ready to be saved, If only
the way was pointed out.
Mr. Richards delivered two other adj
dresses yesterday, speaking in the
morning at the First NJ r. church, and
last evening at the Clinton Avenue
Methodist church, in West ST. Paul

=. II. Smith, the Forger Arrested at
ST. Cloud.

]. H. Smith, whom the G 20 e dis
patches of yesterday announced had
received a Jail sentence of ninety days
at st. Cloud, on the charge of lar
ceny. is thought to be the man who
swindled several local merchants out
of sums aggregating nearly 500 last
December The description of the man
convicted at St. Cloud tallies very
closely with that of the man who OPP
Grated in this city and the local au-
thorities are in communication with
the police of ST Cloud with a view
to establishing the mans identity. Chief
Schweitzer has written letter and
sent a photograph of the F. II. Smith
who worked the swindle game here,
and from former correspondence thinks
likely the persons are the same.
While in this city and at st. Cloud
Smith represented himself to be cat
tie buyer. His method of swindling
is by worthless checks. In this city
he victimized a. S. Weller, George r.
Holmes and Simon, all jewelers., by pay
ing for purchases with checks on banks
which, it was found, he had no de-
post in. Shortly before Christmas he
shortly thereafter making a small pur-
chase at each of the jewelers. whom he
afterward sWindIed. Upon being pre-
serted at the bank the checks for small
amounts We're honored. Several days
later Smith made purchases of $34 at
both Wellers and Holmes, and one IF
S14 at Simons. When the checks for
these amounts We're presented they
were marked mo deposit and re
turned. Smith had withdrawn what
remained of the original $6S after es-
tablishing his credit and left the city.
Smith is also said to have been con-
cerned in cattle sWindling schemes in
Canada, though the dispatch errone-
