STUDY OF HEADS.
Prof Norris Lectures at Relief So
ciety Hall.


The phrenologist, with his rule and
tape, wherewith to measure men
character or the lack of them, is still
abroad and many there be that go
after him. There was not comforta-
BILE standing room in Relief Society
hall last evening, where Prof. Morris
gave his chronological talk. The walls
were covered with illustrative mate
rial and many skulls were exhibited
on the platform. Before discussing the
shane and development of the mead
Prof. Morris pointed out the various
characteristics betrayed in the way OF
wearing the hat The safest thing tor
a gentleman to do is to carry his nat
in his hand until he can discover at
lust what angle to place it on the
head so as to indicate a favorable
character. On the whole, If the doc
trine of "bumpology" is to be relied
1pon entirely, the fashion that broughl
in the big sleeves to conceal the CROOK
ed shoulder. should come to the rescue
of most of the heads in the world, and
invent something to cover them UP.
The lecturer cited one or two instances
of head" speculation which opens UP
nrospects that rival the Klondike.
POOR men have sold their heads to
nhrenologists-the transferal of prop
erty not to take place until after
death, of course In this way destitute
men were able to secure a neat sum
of money to spend while their heads
We're still on their shoulders, and, when
they were eff, they did not know the
difference.
After the lecture Prof. Morris gave 9
public chronological examination OF
civ neopIe-tvo children, two youths
and two fulI-grown people. 1t is need
less to say that the rule was as accu-
rate in its measurement of the child
as in those of the full-grown man
There is to be a series Of six lectures
with similar exhibitions.

w. 3. Dean Thinks, 10 the Recon-
meniatio of So Eminent Al
Eody- OF Financiers.

W. B. Dean left last evening over
the Great Western for Washington to
attend the meeting of the monetary
commission, which will be held at the
Arlington hotel, commencing Sept. %.
This commission consists Of eleven
members, and was appointed recently
by the executive committee of the
monetary convention held at Indian
apolis last January. At this, the first
meeting of the commission, it will eff
feet a permanent organization by the
election of such officers and the adop
tion of such rules and bylaws for its
own government as may be agreed
upon by a majority of its members,
and hereafter will be governed by
those articles. These rules of the COM
mission shall be directed towards the
accomplishment of the objects for
| which it was appointed thorough
investigation Of the monetary affairs
and needs of the country, in all rela-
ticns and aspects and to make ap
propriate suggestions as to any evils
found to exist and the remedies there
for. and no limit is placed upon the
scope of such inquiry. A suitable ap-
propriation will be made by the eX-
ecutive committee to carry on this
work, and it may even be deemed ad-
visable to send delegation abroad, to
study the monetary and banking sys-
| TENS of other countries. When they
have finished their labors and are
ready to report another convention
will be called at which recommended
| tions will be made to congress.
Mr. Dean was seen by a G o b e re-
porter just before he started for the
East, but was unable to say what ac-
/ ton or recommendations were contem-
| plated by the conmission it has been
! in existence but a short time and it
remains for the meeting to bring out
the sentiments of it's memoers. What
ever recommendations we do make, -
continued Mr.. Dean, will probably be
submitted to congress by the conven-
ton, but you understand that this
merely is a sort of petition coming
from private citizens, although it will
makers, as it will represent the senti-
ment of number of representative
| financiers from all over the country.
| Of course it was quite an honor to be
selected as one of the commission, and
1 feel proud Of it, not so much per-
sonally as for the fact that Minnesota
was recognized"

NATURALIZATION PAPERS.
Clerk e. G. Rogers VIII Favor Those
Unable to Pay.

Competent authority estimates that
there are in Ramsey county at least
5000 former voters, who are disfran-
chised under the recent constitutional
amendment, providing for full citizen
ship. as a necessary qualification for
hereafter exercising the right of elec-
tive franchise.
Among this number there are doubt
less many to whom the fee of 81 pro-
vided by law to be paid clerks Of court
for issuing second or full papers, would
be too much of a burden. l have there
fore decided to issue full or second
papers free of charge to all such resi-
dents of Ramsey county, lawfully en-
titled thereto, who do not feel able to
pay for the same. Such papers will
only be issued free of charge on the
above conditions; and only on the per-
sonal order of the clerk or of his chief
deputy, Mr.. Fitzgerald, said privilege
will be accorded as aforesaid without
regard to the politics of the applicant.
Printed circulars giving full directions
as to mode of procedure will be fur
nished by the clerk on application.
Such second papers must be secured
before Jan l, 1898, to enable participa-
tion in the coming spring election.

Douglas School Union VIII Work to
Secure One.

The Douglas school branch of the ST.
Paul Public School union held their
first meeting of the season in the
school building, Stevens and Orleans
streets, last evening The meeting
was called for Sept. Is, but as there
was some doubt at the time as to the
opening Of the Douglas school it was
postponed until last evening. B. F.
Latta presided over the meeting, while
w. H. Waller acted as secretary, both
of whom were the officers of last year.
There was quite a good attendance of
parents, and there was also a number
OF teachers present. Mr.. Latta made
a short address on the objects of the
local organization, saying that the
Douglas school needed a library and
that he thought one of the first things
for the union to undertake was to pro-
vide such a library. He thought it
could be paid for either by subscrip-
ton or a series of entertainments; that
books OF standard character could be
had at very low figure. If this was
not found practicable, Mr. Latta
thought if parents would donate
books quite a library could be had in
that way.
Several constituents of the school
spcke. and all We're heartily in favor
of procuring library for the schOol.
One man thought if a committee from

library board they might be able to
secure the loan of enough books at
least to start the library. Miss Coch-

SUNDAY EVENING WAS A BUSY ONE
FOR THE BURGLARS
HERE.
MRS. GILMAN BADLY SCARED,
COMING HOME FROM CHURCH, TO
FIND HER HOME BESET BY
THIEVES.
Are Looted by the LiEht-Fingered
Gentry the Police Do Not Seem
to Capture.

When Mrs. Emil Gilman went home
from church with her two-year-old
baby in her arms Sunday night, she
was surprised to find the hall door
leading to her apartments on the sec
ond floor of 5S1 Lafayette avenue un-
locked. AS she turned the knob
rough looking man lettering near the
doorway whistled shrilly and ran
down the street. Going up stairs Mrs.
Gilman heard a noise in the front room
which convinced her that burglars
were in the house. She was too badly
frightened to cry out, and entering the
rooms, locked herself in all night with
her baby. She could plainly hear the
intruder moving about in the front
room as though unaware of her return
or the warning whistle of his confed-
crate, outside, but was too terror
stricken to give an alarm. In a short
time footsteps on the stairway told of
the burglars departure, but the
woman could not summon courage to
leave her hiding place and remained
behind the barred kitchen door until
morning.
With the advent of daylight Mrs.
Gilman ventured an investigation and
found the front of the house had been
thoroughly ransacked. The contents
were strewn about the floor in great
disorder The bed had been torn to
pieces, the closet denuded of the cloth
ing which had hung on the hooks, and
the bureau rif1ed. A trunk in which
IA1 oil n
the money she possessed, had been
broken open and her savings taken.
Besides the money several articles of
wearing apparel belonging to her Eus-
band, part of her baby's wardrobe and
the bed clothing from one bed were
missing. Mrs Gilman is living alone
with her infant, her husband being ab-
sent the harvest fields of North Da-
kota. The burglary was reported to
the police.
Thieves also raided the tailor shop of
Charles Norburg, 4S8 Sibley street, Sun
day night, securing several bolts Of
cloth valued at $50. An entrance was
effected through a rear window, when
the burglars selected the best articles
in the stock and successfully mada
their escape.
A small confectionery store at 523
Rice street likewise received visit
from burglars the same night. A back
door was forced open, but the intrud-
ers were evidently interrupted in their
work, as nothing but a quantity Of
cigars was found to be missing yester-
day morning. when the robbery was
discovered.
The warehouse of P. r. L. Harden
bergh & Co, at Eighth and Wacouta
streets, was entered by burglars early
Yesterday morning, but after a search
for valuables the, thieves departed
without securing any booty. Entrance
was secured through a rear window,
when the thieves proceeded to the Of
flee and succeeded in working the com
bination of the safe. A steel drawer
was taken to the tool shop in the rear
and broken open. but it contained only
valuable papers, and as the burglars
were evidently in search of cash, these
were left in disorder on a tool bench.
Evidently disappointed the thieves
carefully reIocked the safe and took
their departure About S12 in the city
salemans desk was undisturbed.

SUGAR PRICE RISING.
Yellow Fever Has a "BulI'' Effect on
the Sweets.

Ii you have any spare change left,
after filling your coal bin, it would not
be bad investment to lay in stock
of sugar. The indications are, so say
the local wholesale dealers, that this
commodity will go still higher in the
near future.
The housewife who is getting sixteen
pounds of granulated for a dollar,
whereas year ago 100 cents would
buy eighteen to nineteen pounds, can
now Josh" the head of the house
hold on the Dingley bill, for these
grocers agree that it is the cause OF
the advance. There has been a rise
of one-half cent a pound in the whole
sale price within the year, and an ad-
ditional one-eighth cent pound was
tackled on Sept. 1. The local wholesale
price is at present 53s cents a pound,
so you see the retailer is making d
very small margin-only or per
cent-for handling it, and the whole
salers profit is about half that.
Last May there was little local
furry in the price of sugar, due to
the cutting among the retailers. AT
one time a dollar would buy twenty
eight pounds, but the grocer was sur
fering a big loss on every dollars
worth. They finally got together and
agreed upon the present retail price,
which is being adhered to strictly by
all of them.
Should the yellow fever epidemic
continue you may look for a decided
advance in sugar from that cause,
remarked one wholesaler to G b e
reporter. ''The shipment of sugar
from the refneries in Louisiana COM
mences about Nov. 1, and continues
until March l. the idea being to sup
ply the entire Mississippi valley and
central states from these refineries. If
the southern cities are quarantined
our sugar will have to be imported.
and this will necessitate the payment
of the duty-and the consumer pays
the tax.
cat present considerable sugar is
imported, coming mostly from Ger
many, where it is produced from beets.
The growth of beets in this country Is
not yet what it should be. About SO
per cent of the sugar used by us is
made of cane, and the best sugar is a
mixture of cane and beet"
