Greclan Architecture.

Prof, #. S. Dunn delivered the last
Of his series of lectures on the "Seven
Wonders OF the World" at the uniyer-
sity chapel last evening, beforea large
assemblage. The speaker had to con-
dense the four remaining subjects
into one evenings lecture, fact
that was regretted by his auditors who
had become thoroughly interested
In the subjects under discussion. "The
Colossus at Rhodes" "The Mauso-
leum," "The Pharos." and "Olym-
plan Zeus" were all discussed last
evening. The three former subjects
were briefly referred TO, the major
portion OF the lecture being on the
"Olympian Zeus." Prof. Dunn is an.
extremely interesting speaker, and
last evening in relating the facts and
interesting details of mythology, con-
nected with this wonderful monument
OF Grecian architecture, held the
clocest attention OF his hearers. It'll
is only hoped that the professor may
decide to present a similar series OF
lectures during next winter.

COMMITTEE APPOINTED AT THE
RECENT REPUBLICAN FREE
SILVER BANQUET
TALK OVER FUTURE PLANS.
CONSIDERED UNWISE TO TAKE
ACTION LOOKING TO ORGANIZA-
TEON OF NEW PARTY.
NO ONE AUTHORIZED TO so ACT.
Decide Silver Forces Should Work
UnitedIy on All National, State
and Municipal Affairs.

The committee of nine appointed at
the banquet Of the silver Republicans
held at the Windsor on LincOln'S birth
day had a conference and dinner last
evening at the Commercial club. The
resolution unanimously adopted at the
banquet called for the appointment Of
a committee Of nine to formulate a
plan of organization looking to union
of the reform forces of the state for
political action. The nine chosen TO
bring about this state of affairs were

dahl. All the members attended the
conference last evening, which was
held in one of the private rooms at
the Commercial club. The gentlemen
went into executive session at o'clock
and the first business transacted was
the disposition of a we'll selected and
served dinner. After this formality had
been gone through with the committee
spent over three hours in the discus
sion Of plans, the conference adjourn
ing at IL o'clock to allow Mr.. TOwne
to take the train for Duluth.
favor of united action of all the forces.
The development of the silver senti-
ment all over the country was discuss
ed. and yet at the present time the
committee did not deem it wise to
recommend the organization Of a new
party. In this matter the committee
were of the opinion that they could not
ask any party to give up its crganiza-
ton, and as matter Of fact were not
authorized to do anything of the kind.
The feeling was that there should be
a united action of all the silver forces
in national, state and municipal af-
fairs, with the members Of the respec-
tive parties holding to their party or
CARNATIONS.
T. D. O'Brien was elected as secretary
of the committee, and the next confer
ence will be held subject to the call
of the chairman, J. NJ. Hawthorne.

HELP THE UNEMPLOYED,
Benefit Entertainment at Market
Hall Friday Evening.

A public meeting and entertainment
for the benefit of the unemployed will
be held Friday evening at Market hall
The occasion is one which will appeal
to all public spirited and generous
citizens, as calling for an effort on
their part to render the undertaking a
financial success. AT the close of an
unusually severe and dull winter the
working classes of the city, like those
of most cities, find themselves at the
end Of their resources. A little aid at
this time VIII be more advantageous
than a great deal would be at a later
date.
The entertainment will consist of
musical and literary numbers and will
be arranged with view to giving the
audience as agreeable an evening as
they might secure at any of the reGu-
lar places of public amusement. The
price of admission will be fifty and
twenty-five cents. and it is believed
that all who sympathize with the dis
treSS of the industrious and reputable
manhood will promote the success of
the occasion.
Among those who have rendered their
aid and cooperation are: Ignatius
Donnelly, Moses Clapp, Rev. Samuel G.
Smith, Judge Willis, T. D. O'Brien and
NJ. J. Costello. These gentlemen will
all deliver addresses and they will be
assisted in the course of the entertain
ment by a number of ladies and gentle
men whose places on the programme
will be assigned later on.

Vides for the appointment of a COM
mission to superintend the laying out
of boulevard around the lake The
commission is under the bill given the
power to take testimony and award
benefits and assess damages for the
land taken for the boulevard A COM
mittee consisting of MesSrs. Ovitt, Full
Ter, Hanna, Dampier and Ref was
appointed to urge the passage of the
bill in the Legislature.
DR.. SimOntOn said there was every
indication that if the property owners
would unite a boulevard could be laid
out around the lake. 1t could not how
ever, be on the lake shore, as such a
road would only invite litigation from
number of the property owners. He
was certain road about $50 feet from
the lake shore and at various points
touching the water could be secured
without litigation. 1t was decided to
have permanent OrganiZatiO of the
association, and to this end the officers
j. B. SanbOrn and H. T. Drake were
directed to report a constitution and
bylaws at a meeting to be called at
an early date.
Mr.. Fulton, president of the White
Bear council, stated that the property
owners were anxious to do what they
could to help the association, and also

gested that a meeting be arranged for

SECOND INTERURBAN LINE,
Des MOines Capitalist Here Looking
Over the Field.

A street car line with five-cent fares
from Minneapolis to st. Paul and vice
versa is the latest product Of the brain
of G. Van Ginkle, capitalist and con-
tractor. of Des MOines, Iowa. Mr..
Van Ginkel arrived in the Twin Cities
yesterday morning and declares that
he is ready to construct a second inter
urban line as soon as he can secure
franchises from Minneapolis and st.
Paul.
He does not believe that the courts
would uphold the eXclusiveness of the
franchise now held by the Twin City
Rapid Transit company, and thinks he
would be permitted to construct a we'll
equipped electric road between the two
cities without molestation, if the cOun-
ellis of Minneapolis and ST. Paul should
grant the necessary permission. Mr..
Van Ginkel will spend several days
in the Twin Cities sounding the alder
men and if he finds he can secure
franchise, says that he will get down to
work in earnest.

Mrs. Mary Mason Now willing to
Forgive Her Son.

Mrs. Mary Mason, who was assault
ed by her son, John Mason, in West ST.
Paul, two weeks ago, was discharged
from the city hospital yesterday. Mrs
Mason has apparently fully recovered
from the effects of the brutal treat
ment accorded her by her SON, and is
now 10th to prosecute him, The trial
was set for yesterday before Judge
Orr, but Mrs. MasOn's indispositiOn to
appear against the young man neces-
STATED a continuance until today. In
the meantime, on the request Of the
county attorney, Mrs. Mason will be
confined in the county Jail to insure
her presence as prosecuting witness,
bail being fixed at 500. This course
is taken in view of the fact that Mrs
Mason has already made AN affidavit
charging her son with aSsaulting her,
and it is felt that a conviction must
follow a trial. Mason is held in $1,000
bail.

WENT TO THE MAYOR.
Man Didn't Like Il Purchase Made in
an Auction Store

Edward Brown, a well-dressed young
fellow, visited Mayor DOran yesterday
afternoon and left with that official
a gilt watch, plated chain, and a ring
marked Is K, which he had purchased
at a jewelry store auction at 249 East
Seventh street. Brown told the mayor
he had given So for the outfit, but on
visiting a pawn shop in the vicinity,
had been informed that he ought to
have received a dozen of the articles
for that much money. He informed
the mayor that the auctioneer had
stated that the watch was worth $40.
the chain $40, and the ring a like
amount. He did not care, he said,
about the SO, but he did object to being
deceived as he claimed he had been.
Mayor DOran took a look at the jewelry
and then teleDhOned to the central
police station. Brown was told to re-
port at the station this morning, and
the police would do what they could
to get his money back The mayor
was advised last evening while listen
ing to Browns story, that the store
where the jewelry was purchased had
no license to do an auction business.

held up the application for a license.
