SOKOL's PRIZE MASQUEs
Are Awarded With Difficulty by the
Puzzled Judges.

The Bohemian Turner's society, "Sokol,"
gave a masquerade ball last evening at c. S.
P. S. hall that was one of the most enjoyable
in its history. The party was splendidly man
aged by the committee on arrangements, con-
sisting of s. j. Picha, chairman, and Messrs.
Frank Skok and Leo Novok. Music was fur
nished by the Columbian orchestra for an eX-
cellent dancing programme.
The grand march was called at II o'clock
with Albert Tomasek, Albert F. Schinz, Mrs.
Frank Skok and Mrs. Frank Shanda as
judges. There were seventy-ive couples in
the procession and it was very difficult
matter for them to make selections on ac-
count OF the excellence of majority of the
costumes. After considerable time had been
spent in an inspection of the maskers how
ever, the prizes were awarded as follows:
Fanciest Ladies' Costume-First, Miss
Lillian Vrchota; second, Miss Ada Vrchota.
Most Comical Ladies' Costume-First, Miss
G. Witha and Miss Margie POSI-; second Mrs.

Suit for Price of Apples.

The Hemenway Fruit and Produce company
has brought an action against H. L. Roden-
berg to recover $194.65, for alleged breach
Of contract
The complaint alleges that in December last
the plaintiff company, acting upon the repre-
sentation of the defendant, purchased from
the latter 100 barrels of apples, at 81 per
barrel, which were warranted to be of the
best quality, known as mo. choice Jonathan
apples" The total amount expended by the
plaintiff in the purchase of the apples in
Guiding the freight charges from Leaven-
The plaintiff also alleges that the repre-
sensations and warranties were false and aud
ulent and that the apples were of such a poor
and inferior quality that they did not realize
but $5S535. The defendant thereafter prom
ised to repay the defendant, so 1t is alleged,
the sum of $113.20, but has failed to do So
For second cause of action the plaintiff
alleges that had the apples been of the
quality represented, 1t would have realized
a profit of $S1.45. Hence the plaintiff de-
mands judgment against the defendant for
$194.65.

Unless the People Contribute of
Their Own Means to Prepare It
State Commission Issues Call
for Funds for That PurpOse-Its
Report Praises the Scheme.
On account of the failure of the last
legislature to provide by appropria ton
for the preparation and display of an
exhibit of Minnesota products at the
coming Trans Mississippi exposition
at Omaha, the commission appointed
by the governor to weigh the matter
has made a call on the general public
to provide by subscription for the max
ing of the exhibit, in the hope that
enough interest may be taken to make
the exhibit one in keeping with the
high standing of this state. The call
is as follows:
To His Excellency, the Governor, and the
People of the State Of Minnesota:
The undersigned, comprising party, who,
upon the invitation of the directors OF the
Trans Mississippi and International Expo
sition, visited Omaha on Thursday, Feb. g.
for inspection of the work already done in
anticipation of the opening upon June list
of an exposition of the material products of
the trans Mississippi region, believe 1t to be
their duty to formally make to you a state
ment of what they found and the conclu-
sions which they reached.
The exposition association has well ad-
vanced toward completion group or Dulld-
ings beautiful in architecture and magnif-
cent in their proportions, which promise to
exceed in the capacity, as well as in the
architectural effect, anything offered to the
public in the United States, with the single
exception, perhaps of the White City, which
dazzled millions during the year 1893 in
Chicago. These buildings are but part of
the preparation now being made for an eX-
position which there Is abundant evidence,
will be second only to the Columbian expo
sition of 1893. The plans of the manage
ment are upon SO comprehensive q SCALE
the responses from the various states in
the trans-M ississippi district have been so
cordial, and the cooperation Of the United
States government as we'll as many foreign
nations has been SO prompt and liberal,
that it is certain that the exposition will be
greater than any that has preceded 1t in this
country with the possible exception of the
Centennial exposition and the Worlds Co
lumbar exposition, to which reference has
already been made. Any idea which any
one of our party may have entertained that
the exposition is to be local in character or
even confined to q few of the Western or
Northwestern states, was quickly disabused
by the evidence which produced and
what we found had already been accom-
plished We desire to impress upon you,
that the work of the management has been
SO we'll done as to leave no shadow of doubt
that the exposition will be all that Is claimed
for it.

WILL NOT BE A SADSHOW
IN SPITE OF THE PRESENCE OF A
GREAT MANY POUTERS
Big Poultry Exhibit to BE Opened
Tomorrow Morning at Market
HaII--There VIII BE 5000 birds
Entered-St. Paul Alone Will
Present 1.OOO-Eastern winners.

The annual exhibition of the Min
nesota State Poultry association opens
tomorrow at Market hall, and from
present indications it promises to be
the best collection of feathered beau
ties ever gotten together in the North
west.
The various committees were busy at
the hall all day yesterday, and at
nightfall the place had been complete
~ tranSmogrified. Bright bunting and
other decorations broke up the great
bare walls, and the long lines of new
coops presented a very business-like
appearance. Chicken fanciers in ST.
Paul alone will enter 1000 birds, while
1t is believed the whole number shown
will swell the total to over 5000. If
this is the case, it will, in fact, be the
greatest show ever held in the West,
or, in fact, in the country. Secretary
Marzolf will have his office right in
the hall, and will be on hand all day
today and during the week Of the
show.
In addition to the display of blooded
chickens there will be an unusually
large representation of the pigeon de-
partment, the prize winners in both
the Boston and Chicago shows being
on their way here now.
The judges will be Sharpe Butter
field, of London, Ont, who has just re-
turned from the show at Crystal pal
ace, in London; Theodore Hewes Of
Trenton, Mo; George D. Holden, of
Owatonna, pigeon judge; w. H. Con-
airy, of Minneapolis.
The pigeon coops are of handsome
design, and entries have been received
from Ohio, New York, Illinois, Wis
consin, Iowa, the Dakotas, Nebraska
and Minnesota. The committee will
be in evidence at the hall all day to-
day, and entries may be made until
night The officers of the association
are sure that with the reduced rates
granted by the railroads there will be
a large out-Of-town attendance, and all
signs point to the fact that the show
will be a big hit.
Immense banners have been strung
across the principal streets.
The prize cups are being exhibited
in the show window at the corner of
Seventh and Wabasha.
In addition to the chickens and pig

rental, large expense is Incurred in
order, as before said, to keep the stand
ard of the best. Heretofore this has
been met by the generosity of the pres
ldent and board of directors and few
OF their friends. The Monday Art and
History class, of which Mrs. Met
calf has charge, has also assisted. and
recently voted $500 for the school from
Its treasury. Still after four years
work q debt has been incurred, and
recently the ladies felt obliged to call
upon the art-loving citizens of ST. Paul
for assistance. This has been met
generously, and the officers of the
school feel deeply indebted to those
who have shown them so much good
will.
In their new studios, in the Moore
block, Seven Corners, the members feel
very well satisfied. The studios are
well equipped for years Of service, and
building, but the women do want finan-
cial aid for the future, as, however
bright the present year may be, the
future is still uncared for.

ART FOR ARTS SAKE
LABOR OF ST. PAUL LADIES MEETS
WITH REWARD
The Struggle to Establish and Main
tain IA School of Fine Arts Has
Been Net SuccessfuIIy-The In
stttutiCn Whose Students Gain
Recognition Elsewhere

In the new studios of the ST. Paul
School of Fine Arts are two life
classes at work during the day.
The morning class is composed of
young women who draw each morning
from the nude model
In the evening the life class IS COM
posed of men who are employed
through the day.
The afternoon classes draw from
the draped model and compose the
head classes. The school is, conse-
quently, busy all day. The cost of
hiring three models a day is consid-
cradle, and is one Of the greatest eX-
penses of the institution. But it Is
necessary to keep up the standard.
The school is also regarded as an in
dustrial school, and offers opportuni-
ties to illustrators and designers. One
young man who was associated with
the Twin City papers at one time, is
now with a New York newspaper, and
his work is thought so highly of that
for the last year he has been making
a drawing a day.
The childrens afternoon and Satur-
day classes are also an important feat

Go and see Trussell."

Go and see Trussell.''
That is the admoritiCn that is Whis-
pered around among the faithful ser
wants of the Republican party in those
great departments which are under the
control of Gov. Coughs closest and
highest selaried advisers
he Gil inspectors have heard the
noise.
That big political engine, the grain
Inspection department, has felt the i'm
pulse of the mystic words.
The state house crowd have had the
tip.
Who is Trussel?
A young attorney in Minneapolis, who
offices with Tim Byrnes; a native of
Champlin, a lifetime resident of Henne-
pin county; graduate of the univer-
Sity which it shelters, and for years a
struggling lawyer there
Struggling it was. Now he has grasp
ed the lion of fame by his paintb brush
tail and every time he pinches it fame
lets out one more roar, which sounds
a good deal like:
For the United States Senate-David
Marstcn Clough."
Gov. CIough does not tell all his en-
ployes to ''go and see TrusseIl.'
Private Secretary Hartley, however,
was entrusted to see that few of the
best trusted workers in the Clough fac
ton were summoned to the executive
chamber at the capitol, and since then
the sub-appointees have b5en marshal
ed on the hustings with a fervor which
promises good to Senator Davis hopes
of reelection.
Before Nelson became senator he de-
clared he was for Washborn. Clough
was the residuary legatee of a mantle
that bore some of the grease marks of
machine politics. Nelson has not yet
declared for Davis, save in not very
impressive negative avowal that he is
opposed to Cushman K. Van SAINT, sup
posed to be Clough's gube.natorial can
didate, is popularity supposed to be
friendly to Davis. That is just what
Clough wants the public to think. 1t
is the possibility that the great body
of Minnesota voters will detect the
real inwardness of the Clough-
Van SAINT combination that makes
the Clough engineers fear a wreck of
their machine.
All the machinery of the state prison,
the insane hospital patronage, and 9TH
er appointive influences is to be thrown
into the scale to defeat the reelection
of Davis, and supplant the diplomat
with the ambitious governor.
Sumner Lincoln Trussell, whose name
bespeaks the hereditary patriotism that
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-02-06

inspires his political associations, is
the agent trusted with the dissemina-
ton to the working henchmen of the
governors overweening ambition, and
his office is daily thronged with the
holden minions of the party like a Mon
day morning levee in a fashionable in
telligence office.
Tim E. Byrnes is back from Wash
ington, reticent, as usual, about live
political issues, but gossipy as may
be about the scenes and incidents OF
his trip with Mrs. Byrnes to old Point
Comfort, Atlanta, and elsewhere. Mr.
Byrnes, however, did dispute the truth
of the statement which has been made
that Minnesota's congressional dele
cation was feminist" Van SAINT. He
says:
1t is true that the congressman feel that
they should be consulted to some extent in
the makeup of the state ticket, and they
may not enjoy being ignored in the mat
ter, yet for all that they are not entirely
unfavorabIe to Van SAINT. In fact, they
have not passed upon the matter in body,
and some of them are for Van SAINT, while
others are not.
l have taken 1t for granted for some
time past that the district attorneyship
was to go to Halvor Stevenson, of Crooks
ton, and / have had no occasion to change
my opinion as yet 1 have had no con-
versation with either of the senators upon
that matter, but l believe Stevenson is
the man. For the marshalship, as you
Minneapolis, and Eli S. Warner, of st.
Paul, has not yet given up his fight for
the place. 1t is a long time before these
appointments, and that of collector Of in
ternal revenue are due and it is probable
that the senators have not yet decided who
shall be given the places. For the internal
revenue collectorship a new candidate has
been mentioned in the person Of former
The sen rs are very much pleased with
the appointment of Senator Peterson as col
lector of customs, and seem to think it
winning one.
The sentiment among Minnesotans in
Washington is that Senator Davis will Sc
cure a reelection, and / rather think SO
myself, although l believe he will have OPP
position. How strong or how solid this
opposition will be- 1t is, of course, i'm
possible to estimate at this time, and 1t is
equally impossible to say whom they will
Ex-Mayor P. B. Winston, of Min
neapols, who is visiting his old home
in Virginia, has been interviewed in
Washington. He said he thought Van
SAINT would be the Republican nominee
for governor, with D. NJ. Clough's as
sistance. He does not think that
E'ustis can carry Hennepin against the
combination. Mr.. Winston is of the
opinion that if John Lind is again the
nominee he will sweep the state.

question, whom the Democrats have
in mind If they don't fuse. I think that
in most state matters the silver and

will be elected his own successor. The

Way back from Adam and Eve we have
read in the Bible about great and tall men
that have grown up to about nine feet, and
furthermore, We have heard from history
that men in those days were as tall up to
eleven feet, but whether 1t is so or not, it is
left to the people in this nineteenth century
to determine whether it is so or not, but now
In these days when people as majority all
there are none in our days above seven feet
six. We have today a man that came to St.

VEGAS ANNUAL MASKING.
Over One Hundred Couples Enjoyed
1t at Mozart Hall.

The annual masquerade ball of the Vega
Singing society, at Mozart hall last even
ing, was one of the most successful enter
tainments of the kind the organization has
given. There were fully 200 maskers, in ad-
dition to large number of spectators.
Up to midnight only those in costume were
permitted upon the floor, and as the merry
dancers whirled and spun through the steps
of the different numbers, the scene was par
t1cularly attractive. Knights with dangling
swords glided about with peasont girls clowns
danced opposite princesses and representa-
tives OF every nationality mingled in the pleas
ure Of the ball without utter disregard of
strained diplomatic relations which might
exist officially between their many countries.
At midnight the grand march was executed,
while committee selected the prize winners.
Assemblyman Arosin awarded the prizes.
