SchooI-Was an Artist of Wide
Reputation.
Mrs Ina r. n. Barber, superintend-
ent of the ST. Paul School of Fine Arts,

art school, Her body was found yes

death.
just when the fatal shot was fired is
not known, though it was probably at

retire until IL O'Clock, and other IN
mates of the house were about an hour
later. No one heard the shot, and the
snicide was unknown until several stu
dents. concerned on account or MRS.
BARRIERS failure 10 appear at the usual
hour yesterday morning, visited hef
room ana found her dead body.
Mrs. BARRIERS tragic death was a
shock to the studen,s at the school and
others who knew her. She never conf
planned Of business troubles, nor in any
way intimated that she contemplated
self-dc struction. The summer school
was not the success it might have been,
but Mrs Barber was always cheerful,
though at times her health was not OF
the best. Recently there were but few
students attending the school, and with
these Mrs. Barber was about the house
Tuesday evening, apparently in one OF
her most cheerful moods. She babe
them good night shortly before IL
O'Clock, retiring to her room In the rear
On the ground floor.
The note left by Mrs. Barber was ad-
dressed 10 her brother-in-law, John X
Barber. the only relative she had in
the city, and but briefly referred to her
troubles, with the statement that she
irterded ending her life. Coroner john
sen. Of Dakota county. viewed the body
and decided an inquest unnecessary.
The summer school was conducted in
the old Sibley house at Mendoza, where
the dead woman lived. while Mr.. and
Mrs. John r. Barber occupied the Fari-
bault residence near by.
Mrs Barber was left widow In 1885
when she came from the South to Min
Hearclis Here she was foremost in the
cultivation Of art ard painting for ssv-
eral years. Two years ago she remov-
ed to this city to accept the position
of superintendent Of the local school OF
fine arts. During the last two summers
she conducted the school at Mendoza
upon her own responsibility, and the
limited patronage the school received Is
believed to have had much to do with
her dependency.
AS an artist ard instructress she pos
sessed much ability and was highly re-
garded alike by pupils and the school
beard of managers. as we'll as by
large circle of friends, all Of whom were
lCath to believe her sad end. She was
thirty-four years of age and leaves no
children.
In art circles of the East Mrs. Bar
Der also possessed a high standing,
having been a member Of the Art Stu
dents LEAGUE, Of New York city. where

Place to Give the Slip.
Secretary Jackson yesterday received
a letter from Supt. T. D. Wheeler, of
the New Richmond insane asylum that
another inmate Of the institution had
escaped, and requested that the local
police authorities be notified to be on
the lookout for the man.
His name is Emerson Harrison, and
he is described as being six feet tall,
weight $50 pounds, light complexion
and in his shirt sleeves.
This is about the fifth insane patient
who has escaped from Supt Wheel

Apart on Labor Day - St. Paul
Men Want Commercial Bodies to
Assist--There Will BE a Parade,
There will be no Joint Twin City labor
day celebration at the state fair this
year. Local labor organizations will
observe the day with an outing at
Lake Shore, White Bear lake, while the
plans for the Minneapolis celebration
are seid to be unsettled.
Last year the labor organizations
joined in making the opening day of
the fair a success by holding the labor
day exercises at Hamline. This ar
rangement was made impossible this
year through a disagreement among
the Minneapolis organizations arising
out OF dispute as to the disposition
OF the receipts among their organiZa-
tons. With this state of affairs eX-
tant the local labor day committee
met last evening and decided to hold
an Independent celebration at White
Bear.
The advisability of having the usual
parade in the morning was subject Of
much discussion, which, however, ter
minated in the decision to arrange for
the parade as in former years. All Ia
Dor organizations will turn out, and
besides being requested to close their
places of business throughout the day
all merchants will be requested TO
make representation in the parade by
means of floats. In this connection
communications were ordered sent 70
the Commercial club and Jobbers'
union, asking the cooperation of these
bodies in effecting a genel al observance
Of the DAY.
The parade will take place in the
morning. Immediately after which an
adequate train service from the union
depot will convey the crowds to the
lake. There will be athletic games,
rowing, fishing, base ball game and
dancing for the enjoyment Of the
pleasure seekers. Late trains will be
run in the evening.
The labor day committee elected E.
B. Lott treasurer. The committee will
meet next Wednesday evening to COM
plete it's arrangements.
