BACCHANTE STATUE FOR CHICAGO.
Possibility That MacMonnies' Great
Work Will Come West.

BOSTON, Mass. May SO.-The Bac-
chante statue which so pleased the art
lovers and at the same time caused a
wave Of morality to sweep over the
cultured Bostonese last fall is never
again to be favored with receptions
and pink teas. So much criticism has
been made by moralists that Archi-
tect McKim, who. at the expense Of
$25, 600, secured the statue and pre-
sented it to the trustees Of the public
library only to be snubbed in having
1t refused, and after reconsideration
accepted conditionally, has within
a few days withdrawn his offer. The
opposition was led by Rev. William
E. Barton, who speaking today of Mr..
McKim's withdrawal Of his gift Of
MacMonnies' finest work, said:
'It is a triumph Of temperate, con-
scientious opposition, and Mr.. McKim
has done wise thing"
1t is understood that Mr.. McKim has
under consideration the offering Of the
beautiful statue, which has so shocked
Boston modesty, to either Chicago or
New York, to be placed in their pub
lie art galleries or libraries. He de-
clines to discuss the matter, but init
mates that he has a leaning toward
Chicago.

Would Put cold Glory" With the
Sign of the Cross.
At the Park Congregational church
yesterday morning Company D, First
infantry, Minnesota national guard,
attended services. as Is their custom
each year on Memorial Sabbath. The
silk flags Of the company were draped
on each side of the pulpit and the
stars and stripes adorned the pulpit
itself. DR.. Ingersoll seemed inspired
with the spirit of the day and occa-
sion and delivered an eloquent dis
course as to the duty Of Americans in
defending the priceless heritage Of Hb-
erty secured for us by our forefathers,
and maintained by our fathers, whose
deeds Of valor in defense OF the repub-
lie will ever livegand IDe an incentive
to LOYALTY and patriotism to the ris-
ing generation. eDr. s.Ingersoll would
have the stars and stripes of Amer
lea placed just below the white ban
ner of the cross, no higher, no lower,
an exalted position. indeed. The SOL
diers Of ancient times were compared
with the present. and. 1t was shown
that the soldier Of today had far more
to hope for and should have loftier
aims and ambitions. With the dawn
of the twentieth century an era OF
great possibilities ana much prosper
ity would be entered upon, even greater
er thought, and he was sure that the
United States Of america, having ever
received the special blessings Of the
Heavenly Father, would ever continue
to watch over and protect His chosen
people. The music, both vocal and in
strumenta1. was Of special merit, and
appropriate to the occasion.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 30.-There Is

The best regulated kidneys Of persons

you reflect how much work the kid

Men who work constantly and take
little rest make such demands on their
system that 1t Is not strange If some
organ gives out. Usually the kid
neys are affected. Examine your
urine and see whether it is clear or
cloudy. If it has dark color. or is
n1ent, be sure you have kidney disease.
Take it to a doctor and he will verify
the diagnosis, If you like.
But, perhaps, your doctor may not
know the prescription which is COM

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS, and which
has proved sovereign remedy in all
trouble. Here in St. Paul many per-

JUSTICE TO WOMAN IS DEMANDED

FROM CHRISTIAN MANHOOD.
MISS JEssrD ACKERMAN ADDRESS
ES THE Y. M. @. A. In VIGOROUS
FASHION.
FAvoRs A SINGLE sTAN1
For Measuring the Morality of the
Sexes That Society Now Discrim-
mates Between.

The somewhat unusual privilege of
hearing a woman address a meeting
for men only was enjoyed by an au-
dfence completely filling the rooms Of
the Young Mems Christian association
in Central hall, Sixth and Seventh
streets, yesterday afternoon. The
speaker was Miss Jessie Ackerman, CT
Chicago, travelling missionary labor
ing in behalf of the National w. G. I.
u, who has supported the reform
movement in all parts Of this country
and in most of the cities of Europe.
Miss Ackerman selected text from
the Bible upon which to address her
audience, choosing the beatitude,
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see Cod" and in a manner not
lacking in force directed her address
against the variance In the standards
Of morality, which, she said, society
had established for men and women.
1t had come to be generally recog-
nized, the speaker said, that to be
pure In heart was an attribute Of
women only, and such a conception Of
moral requisites in character had
wrought much misery and sin. Men
the social fold when their season Of
sowing wild oats had ended, but not so
with women, who, by am unfortunate
misstep, were thereafter ostracized and
classed as outcasts. Thou shalt not"
declared Miss Ackernan, meant mon
as well as women. If this obligation
were only recognized. q quarter Of q
million fallen woman, the speaker said,
would today be the inmates Of happy
homes instead Of on the road to de-
struction. AS 1t was not recognized.
and men were allowed every license In
immortality, Miss Ackerman declared, it
was time for the women Of the world
to force its recognition by demanding
the same purity in men which men de-
manded in their wives. This the woman
Of the future would do, Miss Acker--
man asserted and the conditions for
which she hoped would come about
when Christian manhood prevailed.
Miss Ackerman spoke In the evening
also at the First Baptist church.

LEAD BOYS TO RUIN.
Rev. s. G. Smith Says Juvenile Gam
bling Exists Locally.

Rev. S. G. Smith, Of the Peoples
church, delivered the second of
series Of sermons on amusements last
evening, taking for the subject Of his
talk "Games Of Skill and Chance" In
the course Of his remarks the speaker
said that mans struggle against ma
ture was a serious affair. He wanted
more than he had. and, consequently.
the more. he wanted the harder he had
to struggle. The question of amuse-
ments was largely a question Of re-
suits. They exhibited the character Of
the man. Primitive games had many
of the elements Of the modern games.
All athletic games and contests Of
skill and strength were old. In early
history they were, part Of religious
the Grecian Olympian games were
holy days. Those who contested were
obliged to be Of good character, and
before any Of the events were COM
menced the judges asked If there was
aught against the character of any Of
the contestants. Such questions asked
at the present day, the speaker said,
would be apt to be rather painful and
annoying to some of the men who
took part in athletic sport. The re-
ward for feats of strength and skill
in the early days was but a simple
wreath Of wild olive leaves. 1t was a
struggle In those days between men

Of the citizens participate in them,
adopted the merchants style and hired
persons to take part in the sport.
Games Of chess, checkers, cards and
dice belonged to the older civilization.
played cards. It was claimed that
games of skill were all right and
games of chance were all wrong. Some
claimed that chess and checkers were
games Of skill, but cards and dice
were games Of chance. There was no
more harm in playing a game of cards
than playing game of checkers. The
real objection to games Of chance was
not in the chance element, but that It
gave an opportunity for gambling.
Laws had been passed in all civilized
countries against gambling, and it was
right that they should be enforced.
Horse racing was Of itself a fine sport,
and there was no reason why at fairs
there should not be racing of home
bred horses driven by their owners.
The sport had been spoiled by the
betting ring, Jockeys and the train Of
rowdies that went with it. Progress
sive euchre was an idiotic form Of
ness but the recreation Of life The
basis Of gambling was moral degen-
eracy. The moral law and the law Of
God was that men should earn what
they received legitimately. A man
who gambled was a thief at heart
and an enemy Of society. It made no
difference whether the stakes were for
rs cents a corner or for brfc-a-brac.
Day after day In this city there were
resorts open for the purpose of gamb-
ling which were frequented by BOYS
who had not reached their majority.
They were not only wasting their
hours and substance at the game, but
also their manhood

of the desire to get home to his child.
He admitted having passed forged
checks in Chicago aggregating $50, but
claimed the victims were friends who
would not prosecute him. He desired
to telegraph to ex-State's Attorney

who conducted the prosecution in the

opinion that Sandberg is not naturally

Ten years ago Joseph Dietrich, VINO
lived with his parents on farm near
Dubuque, To-, left his home and started
West, telling his parents that he was
going to California to make his fortune
as a, miner. From that time no word
has been received from him, although
efforts have been made to ascertain his
whereabouts and get some trace or
him. Yesterday his brther, Jonn
Dietrich, who owns farm near Lake
Como, read an item in a German pa

a miner named Joseph Dietrich, who
had wandered into the town OF Banner,
Gail. In a starving and destitute condl-
ton, having been nearly a week with
out food. The account stated that Diet
rich started with two other men from
Pfacho on a mining expedition, but pe-
