Saturday afternoon the following repre-
sentatives of the A. NJ. E church, Rev. w. r.
Alexander, Rev. J. Higgins. of Minneapolis,
and Rev. S. B. Jones, of st. Paul, were
called in council by the presiding elder of

approved by him:
st. Paul, Mimi, March 90 1897.
After investigating the missionary work of
Rev. Cornelius Peterson in st. Piul in the
interest of the A. NJ. f. church. we find that
the so-called mission does not exist; no or
gGniZation up to date, prospects of any.
Therefore, we, the undersigned committee
appointed by the presiding elder to investigate
the matter, state to the public that there will
be no more soliciting by Rev. Peterson or
any one else in st. Paul Minneapolis, for
A. M. E. missions. Citizens of the Twin Cities

not of so serious a nature as to warrant
immediate action, but that a warrant

BACK TO MINNEAPOLIS.
Adjt. Gen. Mertz Returns Thither
With His Office.


Adjt Gen. Jacob Mertz, of the Depart
ment of Minnesota, G.. A. r., has
moved his offices to Minneapolis, and
thereby hangs a little tale. Gen.
Mertz lives in the Mill City. He always
did want to have his offices located
in the city Of his residence, but when
J. J. McCardy was elected commander
Of the department, and the approach
ing G. A. r. encampment made this
the central point of interest, he direct
ed Mertz to bring his offices over to
st. Paul, so as to be near the seat of
government. Mertz, of course, had no
choice but to obey. But when Mr.. Nc
Cardy went out of office, things were
different. When the new commander
was elected, the adjutant general lost
no time in carrying out his cherished
desire, and the day after McCardy
stepped out, Mertz packed up his
things and moved over to Minneapolis,
leaving a sign on the door of his de-
serted quarters in the Endicott build
ing to that effect.

In view Of the recent scurrilous, insulting

denim the same as a Wanton. unwarranted
and unprovoked insult to the self-respect,

hold regard for Irish character to resent
the same by Withholding and Withdrawing
all support from said paper.

man who spent two years in black
and white study at the st. Paul
school secured a lucrative position as
illustrator on the New York World.
With this record and with the promis-
ing prospects the ladies are hopeful
that the scholarships, from which the
school must draw large part OF it's
support, will continue to be taken up
by the public-spirited people Of the
city. One may not know but what the
scholarship, for which he has paid, is
helping to perfect world genius, but
he may know without a doubt that his
scholarship is adding tone, refinement
and culture to his city. The board OF

SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS.
Ii Years Work Will Begin Tomor-
row Morning.

Morning.
Tomorrow morning the ST. Paul
School of Fine Arts will open in the
Moore building, Seven corners. The
Indications are full of promise for a
successful year of work. With an eff
cient board of managers, highly eff
Gent faculty and the genial and hearty
support of St Paul's representative
people. the ladies justly feel that they
are beginning their years work au-
spiciouSly. This movement is an ideal
form of social work. The school not
only gives an opportunity to the young
people to develop their artistic talents
under the supervision of thoroughly
artistic teachers, but it also has a re-
fining and eleVating influence upon the
community and especially is it con-
ducive to the cultivation of the artiS-
tic sense. The municipal governments
have in many cases established schools
for the teaching of the mechanical
arts; private corporations are support
ing schools for general Industrial train
ing, each institution drawing to its
halls those pupils adapted to its pc
culiar curriculum but the institution
which should give an opportunity not
to the artisan, but the artist, has been
left in the hands of those who estab-
ish them, not for the sake of the art
done, but for the sake of the artists
pelf. Here the aspiring artist may ap-
ply to the curator Mrs S. G. Olmstead,
and be admitted to the morning, after
neon or evening classes, as desired
each class taking up a different line
of work, such as life study. with
model; head. with model draped; an
tique, sketch and modelling. AS is to be
expected some payment must be made
by the student, but money is not the
object and the school is not self-sup-
porting. Here is an opportunity for
new and an ennObling kind of phil
anthropy, philanthropy which looks
not to the needs of the body and the
development of material life but to
the development of the artistic nature.
1t is not to be supposed that because
the school is not self-supporting that
therefore the instruction is of an in
ferior order for such is not the case.
The pupil who begins work here can be
so instructed that when he or she has
outgroWn the facilities and goes to the
East or even abroad to carry on his
study he may take up the work just
where it was left without unlearning
or repeating any lessons. This is not
a groundless assertion for the pupils
of the school have been accepted as
the personal charges of the recognized
masters of art; a young lady who had
taken the course here submitted a
sample of her work to Kenyon Cox,
and upon it's merits was received by
instructed. Pupils have gone from

EGYPT ILLUSTRATED.
Some Rare Books Donated to the
Historical sodiety.

few days ago the Minnesota Historical
society received two books describing Egypt,
which are a very valuable addition to its
library given by Miss Ada E. Barnard, of
this city. The author, Al. ,Vivant Demon, was
one of the scientists and artists who accom-
panied Napoleon in his expedition for the
conquest of Egypt in 1898 and 1899, and these
books are the very rare original edition of
Denon's Description tof Egypt" published
in Paris in 1902. The text is a quarto vol
ume of 322 pages. and the other volume CON
tains al magnificent folio oplates Probably
there is no other copy, Of this great work in
any library of the Northwest.
Demon and the other savants advanced up
the Nile about 600 miles to its first cataract,
sketching the scenery of theecoast and of the
river valley, depicting the streets and mod
ern architecture of Alexandria and Cairo,
and making portraits of Arab merchants and
mendicants in the cities and of the wander
ing Bedouins of the desert. But their chief
object was to see. and to describe in this
illustrated work the pyramids the sphynxes
and the wonderful ruins of the ancient tenn
pies and tombs, as at Thebes Karnak and
Luxor which are the records of a civilization
and high attainment in architecture and the
art of sculpture. even before the inven lion
of letters. These antiquities very fully
portrayed in many plates. Other plates are
pictures of the battles of Napoleon in this
Egyptian campaign, which soon was brought
to a disastrous termination by the British
fleet. under Nelson's command.

Pearl Smith and Myrtle Hogyard the
colored women under arrest on the
charge of highway. robbery. McGhee
had been retained to look after the in
terests of the, Smiith &, woman, while
Myrtle Howard selected Attorney Cos

claimed Costello had tried by unpro-
fessional means to get the Smith wom-
ans case, knowing he had already be-
come the Woman's attorney, and took
Costello to task concerning his alleged
methods. There were a few whispered
words in the municipal court room,
and both lawyers went out into the
corridor. Here the argument was re-
newed. McGhee took Costellos nose
between his foref1ngers and thumb, Civ

AS McGhee stepped. from the elevator,
after transacting his business up stairs,
he was met by Attorney Costello.

were speaking" began Costello, in pa

him short with an admonition to tell
his troubles to somebody else and the
real fight was on in a second
Both men We're very angry and,
though Costello was at disadvantage
as to size, his nerve supplied this short

rush his antagonist. Blows fell quick
and fast Twice McGhee's arm shot
out square into Costello's face, as the
| doughty counsellor ran at him, and
both times Costello went back against
the wall with only his tip toes on the
ground. One of these blows seemed
to daZe Costello, and he returned to
the attack wildly and without closing
his fists. Then Attorney McGhee
sought to end the encounter Letting
go a vicious blow, he caught Costello
on the chin and the gritty lawyer

cause of the trouble. At times he was
bright and then he would sink into Il
meroseful state from which it was al
most impossible to stir him. The re-
turn of the physician showed that he

he is suffering from meloncholia as the
