church, II. Knox Taylor secretary of
the society, stated that the society was
doing a great work, and although lin
tied by funds. The American society.
although less than 100 years old, had
distributed millions of copies of the
Bible in all languages. The Ramsey
county society, which was a branch Of
the American, purpOsed to place in ev-
cry family copy of the Bible. A large
number Of families were without the
book, and in the majority of cases this
was owing to the fact that they did not
nave the money to purchase. The
agent Of the society," Rev. E. r. Irm-
Scher, whenever he found family
without Bible in the house either
sold, or if they did not care or could
rot purchase, gave them one In the
last year S22 volumes had been given
away, and in most cases the families
were without the book. The society
also distributed religious literature, and

the society, over 10000 books, papers
and pamphlets had been distributed
This mass of religious literature had
gone into homes where there was no
other reading matter and it had done
much good. The society needed two or
three more agents, but were unable to
secure them owing to the lack Of funds
He appealed to those present to come
to the aid of the society. The member
ship fee was only 81 per year, which
included the distribution of a Bible to

SAID THEY WILL BE THE MAYORS

EES.
COPELAND TO BE CARED FOR,
PUBLIC WORKS BEYOND
A DOUBT.
WHO WILL GO UP WITH HIMs
That Is Not as Yet ApDarent to the
Mayors Semi-OficiaI
Family.

mayor Doran is in something Of a
Quandary as to the appointments which
he will have to make in the next week
to the school board, park board and
board of public works If his honor
could be assured that the proposed
charter bill for st. Paul. MINNEAPOLIS
and Duluth, including the provision
about the city elections being held in
May of each odd numbered year, would
pass, a great load would be lifted from
his shoulders. Aside from his Worri-
ment, it is quite likely that the best
interests Of the city would be much
better served
If the law should pass and the term
OF all the city officials be extended to
May 1899, the ghost Of the second
term which now seems to throw a
shadow of large proportions on the
official acts of Mayor Doran could be
ban1shed at least for a year.
AS to the board of public works, John
Copeland has been selected by the
mayor as one of the aDpointees, and
without doubt the second member
could be named if the mayor wished to
make the announcement. In speaking
OF the appointments to this branch of
public service, Mayor Doran claims to
have not made up his mind as yet.
The Bugerverein Of the Eighth ward
have reorganized for business and
amended their title so that it now reads
Deutsche-Americanis Burgerver-
elm" This organization is in favor Of
Leopold Betsch for the appointment to
the board of public works. A certain ele-
ment which claims to have caused
both the nomination and election of
Mayor Doran are insisting that AS
semblyman MabOn should have the ap
pointment instead Of Betsch, and as
both gentlemen are residents of the
Eighth ward, there is considerable feel
ing shown. The Burgerverein threat
ems that If their candidate is not given
the place they will make things un-
pleasant a year from now. S. B. Car
ter, of the Eighth, is also mentioned.
AS to the appointments to the school
board to succeed Messrs. Abbott and
McNamee, there are candidates from
nearly every ward, and strong pressure
is being brought to bear to have some
Well-knOWn woman interested in ed
ucational work appointed to the board.
Bernard Zimmerman, of the Fifth
ward, and George Lamb, of the Third
ward, are just now being doomed for
the vacancies. The mayor, it Is I'M
derstoOd, while making no promises,
intimated that Mr.. Zimmerman would
be a good man for the place. AS
soon as this was announced; the
knockers" began work and started
the cry that Zimmerman didn't pull
as hard as he might have done for
Chapel, last fall. This, it is claimed,
was brought to the attention Of the
mayor, and rumor has it that Edward
Vanish and j. J. Parker are to be
made school inspectors.
On the park board Joseph Wheelock
and William Hamm are the expiring
members. Neither of the gentlemen,
it is understood, is a candidate for
disappointment. Mr.. Hamm has in
formed the mayor that he did not care
to stand in the way, in case his honor
had a chance or desire to select new
man.

or almost Immediately, in the fatten-
ing OF sheep in the winter season.
The people of Faribault county are pc
cuharly we'll situated for this work
They have one or two lines Of railway
running from South Dakota to Chi
cago, supplies for feeding could be
bought in Dakota, and the sheep could
be fed in transit at the farms. He
hoped that in less than three years
many thousands of farmers would be
found engaged in this business in the
southern counties of the state. The
business was very safe one. It only
required a short time to feed sheep.
The losses are usually slight Cheap
foods could be turned into good mutton
and large quantities Of good fertilizer
would be made to put upon the land
Mr. E. j. Cults dwelt upon the grow
ing of Strawberries. He showed how
important it is to get vines from young
plants, to exercise care in planting pis-
ttllate and staminate varieties in suit
able proximity. He also spoke to the
ladies at the cooking school on growing
snail fruits, such as currants, rasp-
berries and gooseberries. The informa-
ton he gave was very valuable. His
methods are simple and yet are exceed
ingly practical
Miss Thomson had a very large and
appreciative audience of ladies. The
number in attendance was not far from
zoo. She lectured in a very practical
way on the selection Of foods, and the
ways in which they could be combined.
in making wholesome diet. She made
bread and cooked meat, and also other
things, giving the necessary explana-
items while the work was being done
The ladies present were greatly
pleased, and expressed themselves as
delighted with the general trend of the
work. There is no calling in life where
the need for instruction is so great as
in this department. 1t will be a happy
day for our country when good cooks
become as numerous as poor ones are
now.
Supt. Gregg, though not quite in
his usual tone and vigOr, was in
very happy mood at this institute
His hand directed everything He could
not but feel gratifed at the unmistaka-
bic evidence of the grand work that is
being accomplished through the medi-
UNI Of the institutes. Minnesota will
never know to the full extent how
much she is indebted to- Supt. Gregg
for the grand work that he has done
and is now doing through the medium
OF the institutes.

"HUGHEY" MAHER'S WILL.
st. Paul People VIII Testify in the
Contest.

DR.. Davis and others from this city
have been in Chicago as witnesses
in the Mark Maher will contest. Maher,
who was better known as "Hughey"
during the time he lived here with his
so-called common law wife, Jessie r.
Kean Maher, was a gambler, specu-
Iator and all-around sport.
Mrs Adele Kean, who conducts a
ladies' furnishing establishment on
Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, D.
c., was the first witness. She is the
mother of Jessie, and told the court
that in 1884 Mark Maher, who was
employed in the government printing
office, called at her home to see her
husband and then and there became
acquainted with her daughter. Their
acquaintance, said the witness, ripened
into love, and one bright day Jessie
quit her position in the treasury de-
partment and eloped with Maher.
Mrs. Kean had been asked by Maher
for Jessie's hand in marriage, but
mother and father objected to the
young man on account of his reckless
habits, and the result was an elope-
ment, but no marriage.
Leaving Washington, the clippers
came West to Chicago, and, it is al
legged lived as man and wife. No
trace Of Maher and Jessie was found
by the latters mother until a year
after their disappearance, when she re-
ceived a letter from them dated Chi
cago, in which it was stated that they
were living together.
From Chicago the couple came to ST.
Paul, and there lived as man and wife
Here Maher abused her and she re-
turned to her home in the East
Maher died at Hot Springs, Ark,
year or so ago, while on a wedding trip
with his alleged third wife, Eliza. From
his second wife, Alzuma Reeves, the
deceased was divorced, and when Eliza
Maher, the latest wife, asked the court
for letters Of administration this di-
vorced wife came into court and asked
that the divorce be set aside on the
ground Of fraud.
