The millionaire Dentist Said Moth.
ing About EndOwments.


If Dr. Thomas W. Evans the
wealthy American dentist of Paris,
whose intention to establish a great
dental university in Philadelphia, was
narrated in press dispatches Sunday
sofa educational institutions also, as
was intimated by the New Yrok dis
patch, then he withheld that intention
from Gov. Clough, to whom DR.. Evans
talked while here recently.
Or Evans talked with me about the
West said Gov. Clough to the G l O b e
yesterday, land we talked over some
Of the plans he had made for using his
money to benefit his fellow men.
gathered from him, however, that as
far as any share Minnesota would have
in his fortune, it would be through the
realization of plan he has for en-
couraging some of his acquaintance
who are not well enough equipped with
this worlds goods to find themselves
homes in the United States. He him
self was faverably impressed with Min
nesOta, and | assured him that this
state would welcome any worthy citi-
Zens whom he should send here. He
said nothing to me about endowing cur
university or any other Western edu-
cational institution. AS a member Of
the board of regents, I think he would
have been apt to have suggested it if
he had had any such object in mind
when he was here.
Archbishop Ireland says he is not
authorized to make any statements
concerning his talk with DR.. Evans,
when in ST. Paul. He found the doctor
was much interested in st. Paul and
Minneapolis, and he would not be very
much surprised if something should be
done by him in this country.

The Defense Begins to Put in Its
Testimony.

The Defense Begins to Put in Its
| Testimony.
The defense opened it's case yester-
day in the suit of the Minnesota Pack
! ing and Provision company, of Eng
| land, brought to GUST Philip Shufeldt
and his associates from the manage
ment of the company. During the fore
noon session some testimony was given
by railroad officials concerning rates
charged for the transportation of stock
and other business dealings had with
| the company.
! The testimony taken at the afternoon
session proved the most interesting.
The first witness called by Mr.. Squires,
| after the noon recess, was Daniel w.
Lawler. Mr.. LaWler testified that he
was invited to attend conference be-
| tween John O'Leary and Shufeldt at
! Shufeldt's house, in the fall of 1895, and
that upon that occasion Mr.. Shufeldt
stated that company would be orga-
! nized with 100000 capital to operate
! the O'Leary house, and that he want
ed John O'Leary to furnish $4,000 and
act in some important capacity, he
thought, manager of it. Mr. Shufeldt
! further stated, so Mr.. LaWler testified,
| that he thought the house could make
! large profits. In response to a ques-
| ton by Mr.. Squires as to what he,
|
| sWered:
Il made but ore remark during the
| entire interview 1 said Mr.. Shufeldt,
l understand you are good poker
| player.
| Mr.. Kellogg asked Mr.. LAWYER what
he meant by this, and he latter replied,
he understood a good poker player was
a good buffer, and that he took no
| stock in Mr.. Shufeldt being able to
| m q S11ph nrOfitS at OF 90 nv
| house.
! Mr.. McCaW, who was next called as
/ a witness on behalf of the defendants,
| testified that the Minnesota company
| lost 5000 from Jan. 1, 1898, to June
5. 1896, and s21S,O0O from June 5, 1896, to
April 8, 1897 He gave the details Of
certain credits of profit and loss.
| Mr.. SCuires offered in evidence a
statement of the average prices the
Minnesota company received for Da-
kota company meats in England. This
was objected to by Mr.. Kellogg, for the
plaintiff, and after hearing argument
the court ruled out the statement Mr..
Squires then offered a statement in evil
dence of the estimated profits made by
the Minnesota company handling Da-
kota company meats. The court ruled
it out.
Thomas Lowry, the president of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company, was
the next witness for the defendants.
Mr.. Lowry testified that he entered
into negotiations with Mr.. Shufeldt
some time in September, 1895, to go to
New Brighton He understood Mr.
Sbufeldt was to take the Minnesota
Packing & Provision company up
there, or was to make the move on be-
half of that company. On cross exam
in2tion he stated that Mr.. Shufeldt
was to take the Minnesota company up
there at his election, that he had an
option on it, or to take the property
for himself for his own benefit.

REFLECTED GEORGE HOLMES.
Company Repeats It's Perform
ance of Some Weeks Ago.

George S. Holmes was again elected
captain of Company E, Third regiment
Minnesota national guard last even
ing. At the close of the drill in Wood
ruff's hall, the members of the COM
pany gathered in the company parlors
and unanimously elected Mr.. Holmes.
Col. J. c. Shandrew was present and
presided. Mr.. Holmes was elected cap
tain of Company E some time ago, but
failed to pass the examination. \ for
NAL application was made to the adju-
tant general requesting permission for
Holmes to take a second examination
which was granted. Holmes is a grad
uate of the military school at Delafeld,
Wis. and at the time he graduated
was captain of a company. His failure
to qualify is explained by the fact that
the tactics in use at that school are
not the same as those recently adopted
by the national guard. After the cleo
ton the boys felt quite encouraged
over the prospects for another year of
Company E, as the men who were up
for court martial have signified their
intention of paying their fines. Capt.
Holmes will Immediately fit himself for
the examination.

Tourney in Progress for the Cav
endish Whist Club Trophy.

The fair devotees of the noble game
of whist are taking advantage of the
hospitality of the Cavendish Whist
club, which has thrown the rooms open
to them every Tuesday evening. A
very interesting contest, which began
last winter, has not yet been decided,
but undoubtedly will be before this
season is over. Last winter M. L.
Countryman offered a trophy in the
shape of a handsome rug to the ladies
having the four highest scores after

be in their possession, but any team OF
ladies outside of the club could. chal-
lenge the tourney victors, the trophy
to go into the possession of the WIN
ncrs, whose property it would become
after it had been successfully defended
five times. When the team had sue
ceeded in winning a quit-claim deed to
the rug, then it was to be played for
by the individual members OF the team.

TO THE U. s. SUPREME COURT.
Appeal Taken in the Merri1I-Dodd,
Mead * Co. Controversy.


The case of the Security Trust COM
pany, as assignee of D. D. Merrill &
Co, against Frank M Dodd and others
representing the publishing firm of
Dodd, Mead & Co., of New York city,
has been certified to the United States
supreme court by the United States
circuit court of appeals. The order
was entered yesterday in the Office of
the, clerk of the court of appeals
The questions involved have arisen
out of the action of the Security Trust
Company as assignee of D. D. Merrill
& Co., insolvent, of ST. Paul, against the
New York firm of Dodd, Mead e Co., to
set aside an attachment levied by the
defendant company upon property be-
longing to the insolvent ST. Paul firm,
which property is located in Massa-
chusetts. The attachment was not
levied until after the D. D. Merrill
company had assigned to the Security
Trust company Then the New York
firm, to which the Merrill company was
indebted, attached property belonging
to the latter which was found in Mas
sachusetts.
The main question at issue is, can
a creditor doing business in one state
attach property belonging to debtor
in another state, which property is To-
Gated in a third state?

HENNEPIN LOSES $50.
Paid Too Big n Horse Thief Bounty,
Says Dunn.

Unless the attorney general changes
the mind of the state auditor the coun-
ty of Hennepin is out just $3.50. Not
long ago H. Adamson asked for q
bounty for catching horse thief in
the person of Arthur Witchie, who is
now serving time. The legislature of
1897 cut down this bounty from 5000 to
$50, and when the matter came before
Judge Simpson, he decided that as
the arrest was made before the new
law went into effect, Adamson was en-
titled to the $780, even though the con-
viction occurred after the new law
was in operation. When the county
treasurer paid the warrants the voucf1-
erS were sent to the state auditor, be-
cause the state refmburses all coun-
ties for bounties. Auditor Dunn, how
ever, said that Adamson should only
have been allowed $50, and refused to
pay back any more. The result is that
the county attorney will be compelled
to go to ST. Paul and argue for that
other $3.50.
