Sven OftedaI president of the Augsburg Sem
mary ct al, deciding in favor OF the plain
tiffs who represented the United church. The
action was brought to compel the board of
directors selected by the Augsburg seminary
to abdicate and give way to the directors Sc
lected in 1896 by the. United church as the
successor of the conference. The decision
gives the plaintiffs directors of the United
Norwegian Lutheran Church of America, the
right to assume possession and control of
Augsburg seminary property.
Prof. George SFefdruP president of Augs-
burg seminary, stated last evening that the
case would in all probability be appealed.
This. would be decided alta conference between
the trustees and attorneys, to be held within
a few days. Mr.. SyerdrGp was of the opinion
that such acton would be necessary to COM
plete the title for the United church. To let
the matter rest with the decision of the dis
trict court would ia hisr opinion, leave mat
tiers in a very mixed state. Augsburg semi
nary holds notes from different parties aggre-
eating sum of $4,000. These notes read Pay
able to the Augsburg corporation, and become
an important item,o as the interest accruing
from them to great extent go to pay the
expenses of running the school, Nearly all
who have given such notes are Augsburg
sympathiZers, and it is not likely that they
will pay for the maintatnance of a school in
which they are not interested. This question
is apt to result in considerable legal contro-
VefSy.

BELGIAN HOUSEKEEPING.
why Servants and Walters of That
Land Excel.

A writer in the New Yofk Mail and
Express declares that Belgian servants
and walters are noted for their excel
lence. They are never in want of en-
ployment, and are as eagerly sought
for by experienced housekeepers in
this city as in Brussels itself. The Sc
cret, according to distinguished
scholar of this city, who has studied the
daily life of that country, to be found
in what are known as housekeeping
schools These have long been estab-
lished, and are considered necessity
by young men and women who desire
to enter the calling mentioned. The
scholars are educated in groups of ten,
this having been found to be the best
number for obtaining the highest pro-
ficiency on the part of the pupils. Ar
rangement is made whereby girls can
study for a week, and then work for
week or more and then again resume
their education. The tens are also
broken into other tens in order to ac-
custom each scholar to the sensation,
or necessity, of making new acquaint-
ances all the time, and at the same
time to prevent their losing the spirit
of rivalry with which they begin their
work At the end Of one year the
scholars arc very proficient. The girls
are taken from twelve to eighteen,
while boys are taken at a later age.
Besides cooking, marketing and house
keeping, there are special Instructions
in regard to clothing, heating, house
repairing and other matters of domes-
tic economy.

FIXING THE COPPER.
The Young Italian Girl Was on to
the Usual Methods


A little Italian girl in soiled blue,
with brassy earrings hanging in her
tangled hair and the usual smear of
dirt across her angel face, had pilfered
or picked from the dust of the street a
white carnation, says the Chicago
Record.
She held it gingerly between thumb
and finger, and took turns with a small
Ter girl at smelling of the flower.
The smaller one pointed at the huge
crossing policeman and said something
in Italian. Both of them squealed with
laughter, and the smaller one hoped
about on one foot.
The one with the flower started to-
ward the policeman. His back was to-
ward her. When she came within a
few feet of him she stopped and looked
back at her sister. 1t must have been
her sister for they had the same black
eyes, the same soft beauty of features
and they were equally dirty.
go ahead!' motioned the smaller
one, squirming with delight
The other hesitated, and then she
reached up and touched the policeman
on the leg. He turned around. She
was holding the flower up toward him,
and her face was half-concealed by a
grimy hand
Hello" exclaimed the policeman,
taking the flower.
The girl backed away, giggling, and
the other screeched something in Ital-
ian.
Much obliged, ladies'" said the po-
liccman, touching his helmet
AT this both of them shrieked and
ran for the alley. The policeman grim
ned and tucked the flower in behind his
star.

THREE-YEAR-o ELoPERs.
Their. Schemes for Welded Bliss
Rudely Interrupted.

The youngest clipping couple on re-
cord spent several hours at the Allie
gheny police station today, and was re-
turned to their parents, says the Pitts
burg correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press. The Would-be groom was
Charles NJ Douglas aged three years,
ard his prospective bride was Margaret
Carpenter, aged, three years and six
months.
Both are blue-eyed .f1axen-haired tots,
and appeared very much in love with
each other. They were indignant when
prevented from going to a minister's
to have the knot tied Miss Carpenter
had her arm linked in that of her lover,
and they were walking hurriedly along
North avenue, Allegheny, heading for
+ a minister's house when a lady met
them and asked them where they were
going.
'.Marderet and me doin to Diet mar
ried," spoke up Charles, while Margaret
hung her head and blushed and said it
IVES true.
The lady gave the youthful clippers
in charge of an officer, who learned
their names, but they did not know on
what street they lived. At the police
station they were handed over to the
matroI1.
Charles also told the matron he in
tendend to marry, a aGga ret.5s He was a
most enectlOnate lover, placing MS
arm about the little lady's waist, and
was not bit pleased when she made
him remove the arm. Charles admit
ted he was rather young to wed. When
asked what he wanted for a wedding
outfit he said: %e1 e
"a wagon with fifteen wheels to haul
Mardaret and her doll inp'
Margaret said she preferred laugh
ing and crying doll and parsol for a
trousseau.
Charles was asked by Matron Kellcg
if he really and truly loved Margaret.
He promptly said Yes" In answer to
a like question Margaret said mo"
Say yes" Charles put in coaxingly,
and she did.
DO you ever kiss Margaret" Mrs
kellogg asked.
mo, he DON'T Margaret put in.
don't let him" .a
"I do when it gets dark" Charles
said i,.e
"Will you kiss her now if I give you
a cent?" was asked. Charles said he
would, and gave the lassie a hearty
smack as if he was used to it. After
some coaxing Margaret kissed Charles,
and then both wanted to go and spend
their penny for candy.
The arrival of the parents interrupted
the course of true love. AS Charles
was trotted off by his mama he de-
clared he would yet wed Margaret.

as to what the effect of the passage of Com
missioner Davenport's motion to reconsider
meant, it was decided that the commission
did not want the rule which had offended
Commissioner Davenport and with supreme
difference for the rules of parliamentary prac-
tice it was allowed to go at that.
Commissioner Child offered resolution
giving to the mayor under the new charter
the power to remove heads of departments
appointed by himself, but that he be com
PEELED to assign his reasons therefor. This
was finally adopted without the clause COM
polling him to assign reasons.
At the opening of the meeting communi-
cation was read from F. n. Stacy setting
forth the fact that various cities of the same
population as Minneapolis were securing in
terest from their city banks on deposits, that
the funds were in the best banks, which
gave bonds for its safe keeping, and that
the income from such deposits was sufficient
to meet the expenses of several departments.

among the number. Why should Minneapolis

posits and the payment OF interest by the
same.
Commissioner Pilsbury Immediately stat
ed that the proposition of the commission
was merely to remove the limit of three per
cent now required by law to be earned
from such deposits
A report from the meeting of the Eighth
and Thirteenth wards was read urging that
municipal elections should be made to fall
in odd years; that the form of government
should be federal; that the executive de-
partment should make contracts within prop
er limits; that the council should not make
appointments; that the president of the coun-
ell should be elected by the people In lieu
of one of the aldermen at large, and should
succeed the mayor in case Of vacancy
that the city council should elect its own
clerk, and the city elect the city clerk to
be the head of a separate department; that
heads of departments other than elected
should be appointed by the mayor.
Commissioner Jones read the report OF the

RESCINDED THE RULE.
Charter Commission Goes Back and
Starts Over Again.

The charter commission assembled last
night for its regular weekly meeting The
question OF paramount IL terest was 10 what
extent boards should figure III the handling
of city affairs, which arouse ont Of a r;ctioS
of Commissioner Atwater to the effect that the
affairs OF the park board should be vested
In the head of department having parks
IN charge and that the park board should
be done away with. He stated that the mo-
ton was tentative one to secure an express
sion OF opinion on the subject. The commits
sioners thought that it would be a good plan
to hear from DR.. Folwell, who happened to
be present. The doctor stated that he would
like to have little time to consider the mat
ter, but felt in general it was unwise TO
go to extremes in the matter of adopting
any sweeping policy for the framing of the
charter. 1t might be we'll in general to
avoid boards, but he did not think It would
be wise with regard to parks, schools and
libraries. G. J. lockwood also favored the
idea of q small board.
Commissioner Hawley then pronounced the
question: Suppose We give to the council
the exclusive power of condemning property,
as 1t proposed, what effect would that have
upon our plans for park board?''
Il supposed it was settled that we would
retain our local school and library boards"
SAID Commissioner Atwater, with practical
~ the same power now, except with re-
gard to the matter of the condemnation of
lands
1t was felt that this same rule could apply
to the park board and, as Commissioner
Cohen said that the right of condemnation
was the natural right of the council the mo-
lost
Commissioner Davenport, who was never In
sympathy with the rule requiring that no.
tice of the reconsideration of any matter
already passed should be given one week in
advance, then moved that the motion creating
that rule be reconsidered in accordance with
notice as filed by him two weeks before.
After some debate the motion carried,
upon which Commissioner Atwater moved
that the rule requiring weeks notice for
the reconsideration of matters already passed
upon be rescinded. Secretary Hawley object
ed that this was out of order as the original
motion creating the rule was now before the
commission. The motion was seconded, how
ever, and President Steele held that the mo-
ton was in order. Commissioner Gjertsen
moved an amendment to the original rule
requiring notice to the effect that no no
tice be required for the reconsideration of
reports of committees. but that it still apply
to ordinary matters. In some unexplainable
way this understood to be an amend
ment to Commissioner Atwater's motion, in
connection with which he had no mean
ing at all. After a good deal of discussion

MIR Hit Loans a Stranger Twenty
Dollars.

A recent arrival by the name of Hit, who
came to Minneapolis from Dakota. had an
experience in the city yesterday which will
not make him remember his visit with the
fondest recollections. Mr.. Hit is about $40
short in his accounts by reason Of his stay
here but he is wiser man, although his
faith in human nature has been rudely
shaken.
Mr.. Hit met pleasant stranger yesterday.
The latter wanted men to work on his ranch
in Texas, and Mr.. Hit was willing to &C
cept his proposition. After they had chat
ted pleasantly for a short time the ranch
owner suddenly remembered that he was
temporarily embarrassed, and asked Hit to
loan him $40 for a little while. The latter,
with the promise of a good position, did not
hesitate. The last he saw of his would-be
employer was when he was turning the cor
ner at the Guaranty Loan building, and he
hasn't returned yet. Hit told his story to
Supt. Smith, and the police are trying to
locate the SMindler.

NAVAL BOARD COMING.
ArmOr Plate Trip to Zenith City
Postponed Two Weeks.


WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Oct 49,
The armor plate committee met at the
Commercial club rooms here this
morning and decided to postpone the
visit of the congressional delegations
of the two states for couple of weeks
This action was taken upon the adj
vice of Congressman Page Morris of
Duluth, who had received advices from
Washington to the effect that in the
near future the naval board will visit
this city and Duluth in response to in
vitations, and it was deemed advisa BILE
to have the congressman here at that
time. The committee of four at Wash
ington telegraphed similar advice, and
the congressman of the state have
been notified accordingly. The work of
agitation will go right on, though the
banquet and trip to the range are
postponed, awaiting the arrival of the
naval board.
