cut in several places, but his injuries
are not serious.
About the safe were found several
burglar and safe-cracking tools, to-
gether with the big sledge hammer.
The implements left behind were of an
inferior quality. and it is believed
were left purposely as a 'tstall,' as
the sharp end of a fine steel drill was
also found. showing that the burglars
undoubtedly had the best of matter
for their actual work The general
impression is that the broken drill
would nicely fit some brace and bit
now being carried about by some of
the bent" gentry, who have been
protecting" the town.

NOBODY's ORGAN.
Northwestern Chronicle Makes {
Statement Regading Itself.

The Northwestern Chronicle prints
the following in its last Issue under the
heading, "Nobody's Organ"
This Is from a recent issue of the st. Louis
Review: "a friend in st. Paul, Minn., writes
to inform us that the Northwestern Chronicle
is in no sense the organ of Archbishop Ire
land and does not voice his opinions any
subject. Can this be true?"
1t is true that the Chronicle is not now,
and has not been for long time Archbishop
Ireland's organ, and does not profess to
speak for him. 1t is not an organ at ALL
1t is a. Catholic newspaper, and it's opinions
are its own and are the Independent express
sion of its views on the subjects on which
1t speaks. 1t is always soundly Catholic, due
care being taken to that end 1t champions
no cliques or factions, either clerical or lay
deeming these to be un-Catholic in spirit
and effect and source of great scandal in
and out of the church. The hand it holds
out is to its brethren in the faith of all
nationalites. AS to it's political views, it
is well known that they are not those of
Archbishop Ireland We have deemed it
proper, since the question has been publicly
put, to define our position, doing so in justice
both to the archbishop and to the Chronicle
itself

"ToUCHED" ANOTHER SAFE.
Visited Commission House -0d
East Third Street.

Safe burglars paid visit to the COM
mission house Of Tierney & Co., 81 East
Third street, last Thursday night, but
were frightened away before they could
begin active operations on the firms
strong box. The burglars secured an
entrance to the store through a rear
window. Mr.. Tierney failed to turn
the combination on the safe Thursday
night, and the burglars had no difficulty
in opening the main door, but the iron
cash box was locked and this the rob-
bers took from it's place, also attempt
ing to pry open several other inner re-
ceptacles. 1t is thought that the inter
ruption to the job came just as the
thieves started to work on the cash
box, as it was hastily showed partly
back in place and bore marks of vio-
lence, though practically uninjured.

TRIED PRESLEY & co.'s SAFE.
Burglars Do Some Coarse Work
There Without Success.

mere "1InOut success.
An attempt was made some time Sum
day night to rob the safe of b. Pres
ley & Co., fruit merchants, at 102 and
106 East Third street Just to show
how insignificant they hold the police,
the thieves in this instance, selected a
safe directly under the room of Detec-
tive James Werrick, who lives over
Presley's store. While the detective
pounded his ear up stairs, the bur
glars pounded the safe below until the
big iron doors looked like navy tar
gets after a days squadron practice
with Krupp guns The thieves secured
no booty, as they were probably press
ed for time to get around for the open
ing at the saloon and left hurriedly
after drilling several holes in the safe
door about where the combination and
knob had been demolished. The ham,
mer, together with several punches and
steel drill, they abandoned to the pro-
prietor of the store or the police, as
mementoeS of their visit The safe,
however, contained registered bonds
and about 81, 600 in checks, besides some
$50 in currency, which the firm con-
graduates itself upon not losing.
The burglars secured an entrance to
the store by crawling over basement
transom, opening upon Second street
alley. Though in addition to Detective
Werricks presence, the firm employees
special watchman, and while the Off
Ger on the beat is supposed to occasion
ally travel the alley, the burglars were
undisturbed by fear of interruption,
calmly opening the door to provide
way of escape, and then proceeding
up stairs to the office. Either before or
after their unsuccessful assault on the
safe, they tried the cash drawer. This
was easily broken open and several
dollars confiscated, when the gang took
their departure by way of the cellar
door and doubtless made straight for
Froehlingsdorf's saloon.
The robbers had evidently planned
to tear up the town, for shortly after
leaving the saloon quartette answer
ing their description was seen acting
suspiciously about Gembe's saloon at
Broadway and Spruce streets. Two of
the gang tried the front door, while
the other pair hung about a side en-
trance on Spruce street, but this saloon
was not yet open, and when the sus-
piciously acting individuals saw the
officer approaching they vanished
around the corner, and moment later
were nowhere to be found.

CONSIDER THE NEW BYLAWS.
Chamber of Commerce Devotcs a
Session to Them.

Session to Them.
The chamber of commerce yesterday
considered a number of amendments
tc its bylaws. There were fifty-four
articles under consideration, of which
not more than eight or nine are of pub
lie interest.
1t was decided to retain Monday
morning as the time for the regular
weekly meetings of the board of di-
rectors. Some effort was made to
change the date to Tuesday, but this
met with the opposition of the jobbers
and wholesalers.
The system of electing directors was
also changed. Hereafter third of the
board will be selected each year, in
order to retain a majority of expe-
rienced members each year. The cleo
tion Of directors is to follow two weeks
after the report of the nominating COM
mittee, and there shall be so per cent
more names on the nomination list
than there are directors to be elected.
The standing committees will con-
sist of seven instead of five members,
and the auditing committee will con-
sist of five instead Of three as hereto
fore. Final action on the bylaws was
postponed a week.

LINCOLN BRANCH UNION.
supt. Curtis on the Course and Plan
of study.

A well attended meeting Of the Lin
ccln School union was held yesterday
afternoon at which Supt, Curtis gave
a very interesting talk on the course
and plan of studying in the st. Paul
public schools, and the progress made
in that direction within the past ten or
twenty years. He illustrated briefly
the modern methods of teaching, spell
ing, reading, geography and arith-
metic, to make those studies interest
ing, comprehensive and of practical
benefit to the pupil. Supt. Curtis also
spoke briefly of the value of nature
studies, and maintained that they were
not carried to excess in the schools.
The question was asked him whether
he thought the number of studies at
present taken up by the younger pupils
was not derogatory to their health.
He replied that he thought not; that
young children demanded change
and variety of occupation, and that
their course Of study was so diversified

COL. T1E1z GETS THE MAIL.
While Col. Scheffer Gets Out the
VOIkszeitung Newspaper.

VO1lxsZeitung Newspaper.
Col. Scheffer as trustee of the bond
holders of the Volkszeitung Printing
and Publishing company, is still in pos
session of the business office and edi-
torial and news rooms of the institu-
ton. But he is not receiving the mail
addressed to the company. Receiver
Edward Tietz Is enjoying this priv
ilege. Mr.. Tietz has all the mail, in
cluding the exchanges which aid edi-
tors in getting out their papers, de-
livered to him, by virtue of an order
of the district court, which the receiver
procured yesterday.
When Mr. Tietz called at the post
office for the Volkszeitung mail yester-
day, he was informed by the postoff1ce
authorities that, as the title to the mail
was in dispute, the regulations of the
government made 1T necessary for the
party desiring the mail delivered to
him to first present an order Of the
court for the same.
Accordingly Receiver Tietz made the
necessary application before Judge
Bum at his chambers yesterday after
noon for an order supplementary to
the one appointing him receiver. The
application was granted, and Mr. Tietz
now gets all the Volkszeitung mail.
Receiver Tietz has warned all adver-
tisers and others indebted to the Volks-
zeitung not to pay over any money to
those now in possession of the plant.
If they do, the receiver says they will
run the risk of having to pay it again.

PRovIDENT FUND PROGRESS.

Miss Kate Wayland, collector, reported on
the work of the provident fund scheme. She
said:
The initial year Of the provident fund work
in St. Paul has been a success. Many have
been induced to save who before had no con-
ception of what the keeping of money meant.
A cent to- the younger chirdren meant so
much candy; 5 cents to the older boys meant
a box of cigarettes. Now, to our deposftors,
the sums mean something useful. Each time
a deposit is made their pleased looks show
their interest as they look forward to the
time when they will buy the needed clothing
or school books. There is 81 on a card for
a girl whose mother remarked that if she
should be i'll that would buy quite bit of
wood for which she otherwise would have
been obliged to ask the board of control.

OHIO DEMOCRATS.

| The democratic State convention a
Columbus, o., yesterday was one of thu
n ost memorable political occasions ii
the history of the State. 1t was conven
ton of unanimity on principles, and Of
differences on men. The delegate:
took no recess, and were in session
continuously from 10 q. N. till almost
that hour last night.
1t was a free silver convention
throughout. Every candidate whose
name was presented was announced as
orthodox in silver doctrine. While
there were some differences of opinion
about adopting the antitrust and the
Cuban resolutions, there was not dis
senting voice to the declaration for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to L. R. T. Hough, the
favorite for governor, was slaughtered,
because of the opposition of the rural
districts. Those running next were
Chapman, Welty and Sorg. Welty's
name was not presented after his
friends learned that Chapman had been
agreed upon as the compromise candi-
date. Hough's name was withdrawn.
The second and final ballot resulted
as follows, with $50 necessary to a
choice: Smalley. 40; Thurman, 45;
Donovin, S5!; Chapman, 599!; Hunter,
Is; Sloane, l; Patrick, 4; Rice, 142;
Lentz Is. Horace L. Chapman was
then declared the nominee of the con-
vention and the nomination was made
unanimous. Elk State Senator Melville
G. Shaw was nominated for lieutenant
governor. The other nominees are !:
Supreme judge, ]. P. Spriggs; attorney
general, w. 81. Dore; State treasurer,
James F. Wilson; board of public works,
Peter II. Degnan; school commissioner,
Byron 81. Hurd.
1t is conceded that the Mclean men
bad all understanding with Chapman
and his managers before the coDven-
ton met, and the vote of the strong
Mclean counties for Chapman bears
out the report. In addition to the
State ticket nominated there is an i'm
piled arrangement for John R. Mclean
for Senator with the State candidates
as we'll as the party organization. Still
it is reported that ex Congressman
Paul J. Sorg will also be in the field for
Senator.
Mr.. Chapman is large owner and
operator of coal mines. He has never
held an Office, and has never before
been candidate. An effort was made
to leave two vacancies on the State
ticket to be filed one by populist and
one by a silver republican, but the con.
vention overwhelmingly voted the mo.
ton down.
The silver republicans held confer
ence after the convention and express
ed great indignation. They appointed
a State committee to call a convention
and nominate separate ticket. The
populists also announced that they
would hold a State convention and
have separate ticket. The prohibit
tionists will have two separate tickets.
