Call For.
BRANCH OF HOUSE OF HOPE.
WILL BE LOCATED ON BRADLEY.

The trustees of the House Of Hope
Presbyterian Church have purchased
the lot at Bradley and Partridge
streets, upon which they will erect a
new mission building, in which to
carry on a most important and worthy
department of their work. The ediflce
will cost from $4,000 to $4,000, and the
property will be held in the name of
the trustees of the House of Hope Pres
byterian church. The funds for the
purchase of the property and the cree
ton Of the building do not come out of
the treasury of the House of Hope
church, but are being contributed by
seven gentlemen of the session and
board Of trustees. The gentlemen
who are interested in the furtherance
of the project have had the matter
under consideration for some time past,
and have decided to erect a building
which will furnish adequate accommo-
dations for all branches Of the work
of the House of Hope in the Bradley
street district. The gentlemen who
have so generously pledged their sup
port and money to the completion of
the undertaking are: G. H. Bigelow,
Frederick Weyerhaeuser, Joseph Nc
Kibbin, Rufus C. Jefferson, C. E. D.
Olmsted, Gen. c. E. Mason and D. R.
Noyes. These gentlemen will advance
the cost of the building and lot, and
work on the building, it is expected,
will be begun in a few weeks.
The trustees of the House Of Hope
Presbyterian church have long been
considering the advisability of building
a mission which would meet all the
present demands of the work and pro-
vide ample facilities for carrying on
the work for some time to come. They
have since last spring been figuring
the best way of raising the money as
no one fund of the church was avail

DAMAGED BY FIRE.
ST. Paul Cordage COInpany's Plant
Has n blaze.

The plant of the St. Paul Cordage company,
near Lake Como, was damaged by fire to the
extent of $1,000 shortly after o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The loss is covered by
insurance. The fire started on the second
floor, where large quantity of fiber is stored,
and burned partly through the roof before
the fire department succeeded in getting the
flames under control. The plant has recently
resumed operations after being closed down
for some time. The fire was caused by a
part of the machinery used for combing the
fiber becoming overheated from friction,
causing a hot box" The fire will not inter-
fere with the operation of the plant.

ment Is Prepared.
preliminary statement showing In
general way the results of the fac
tory and store inspection made by the
labor bureau was issued yesterday by
Labor Commissioner Powers. The re-
nort is believed to exhibit the worst
possible showing, the protested inten-
tion having been to inspect first those
establishments where child labor was
most likely to be found.
In the state, the inspectors have
found to date 1858 factory employees,
of whom only 29S, or less than seven
tenths Of per cent, are children UNI
der sixteen years Of age. The flour
mills in Minneapolis, and other fac
tories, not yet inspected, will add $500
to the total number of employees with
out materially increasing the number
of children employed, sorthey will prob
ably bring the percentage down to .65
Of per cent.

CARING FOR CHILDREN.
Homes Provided for Larger Num-
Der Than Usual.

E. P. Savage, of the Children's Home So
ciety, reports that the number Of children
cared for and for whom homes have been
provided this month has exceeded the number
for a corresponding time last year. This
month they received 10, which made a grand
total of 1,1SO homeless children provided for.
The society received most Of its little home
less ones from the three large cities OF the
state while most Of the homes were found
In the country.
Mr.. Savage reported that their mite
boxes" had not been as well supported as
they were when first put out, which was
explained by the large number of similar
contrivances distributed In the stores down
town since the first of the year. The boxes
In Duluth were doing better than those In
the other cities outside Of st. Paul.

G. P. Walker, who Is becoming quite
well known up in this section of the
country as the successful manager Of
a big circuit Of first-class theaters, in
Guiding those at Winnipeg, Grand

Mr.. Walker, who came down here from
Winnipeg to book some of the attrac-
lions, which are here and have open
time, calls his circuit the Red River
valley or "Breadbasket" circuit. The
excellent crops have been, he believes,
responsible for the good business this
season all along the line. and at this
time Mr.. Walker says the future pros
poets are very encouraging.
At Winnipeg his new theater was
opened by Louis James and his COM

theater the Canadian city has ever pos
sessed. During the afternoon under
the chaperonge of Oscar Vanderbilt, Of

Among the arrivals in the city yes
terday, was Chas. r. Snelgrove, Of Salt
Lake City, Utah. Mr.. Snelgrove is a
prominent boot and shoe man of Salt
Lake City, where he went a number of
years ago when Mormonism was in its
more palmy days. He reports that the
Mormons have ceased to control the
politics Of Utah, although their in
fiuence is still felt. and they will con-
tinue for years to come to exercise more
or less influence. Mr.. Snelgrove said
he did not think any part of the coun-
try had felt the effect of the panic in
1898, more than the state of Utah, but
that If they had been susceptible to
the prevailing conditions Of the times In
1898, they had been equally prompt in
recovering the effect of the depression.
They had just passed through a most
successful year. Now, as in the past,
the principal industries of Utah were
stock and sheep raising, but the wheat
crop Of 1897 doubled that of 1896, and
together with the good prices which
had prevailed this year. had given evil
dence of the future Of Utah as an
agricultural state, which he thought
with the rapid advances they were now
making, that Utah was destined to be-
come one Of the foremost wheat raising
states in the Union.

teed II cents per yound for his next
years clipping by an Eastern syndi-
cate. Continuing, Mr. Snelgrove said
that the Mormon manifesto issued sew
eral years ago doing away with
polygamy, had done much towards
their improvement, and In dealing with
them one was unable to tell them from
other people. The state was fast be-
coming populated, and it was quite
noticeable that most of the immigrants
were from sister states, there being
very few foreigners coming into the
state.
M. J. Daily. Of Perham, was at the

He was looking after some legal bust
ness yesterday, and told reporter for
the G. b e that things looked very
Democratic in the Seventh district, and
there seemed to be no doubt, he said,
but what they would carry the district
at the next election, as a fusion ticket
would be put up that would be hard to
beat. The next election would depend
very little upon the issues which were
at stake during the last campaign; the
money question would cut very little
figure, and local questions would be the
most important issues in the next cam
paign. He thought the chances not
only for a Democratic victory in the
Seventh district, but the whole state
were quite promising, and if the state
could be judged by the Seventh district,
the entire Democratic ticket would be
elected.
