GOODNESS UNDER FIRE.
What Military Training Did for
Wall Street Commission

A very pretty story comes forward
from the wreck of the battleship Maine,
illustrating the power of discipline.
The story goes that Capt. Sigsbee
was writing letter to his wife when
fthe explosion occurred. Upon the con-
fseGUent eXtinguishment of the lights.
he rushed from the port cabin, where he
encountered disciplined sentinel, who
aDn sauting him cooIly, said:
Sir. l have to inform you that the
ship has been blown up and is sink
ing"
This recalls a Wall street incident oc-
casoned by the assassination of Gar
field. in which the value of military
discipline is illustra ted.
In 1881 there was Wall street stock
exchange commission rouse which had
private wire connection with Wash
ington. IT was over this private wire
that the first news of the assassination
reached the stock exchange. A mem
Der of the firm representing it on the
floor Of the exchange was a former
army officer. His partner, who had
charge of the office, was practical
but very nervous man. On receipt of
the telegram over the private wire that

FIRST SPRING EXCURSION.
Country Merchants Are Due to Ar
rive in the Twin Cities

Next week the first of the series of
spring excursions arranged for the
country merchants to ST Paul and

indications will be all that could be
desired by both merchants and the
jobbers.
President Young and the other Of
f1cers of the Jobbers and Manufacture
ers' association have heard through
correspondence and from the travelling
men that quite a large number of the
retailers from the country will be on
hand when the dates arrive
OF course but d small percentage of
those who are coming write in adj
vance, so that the total bids fair to be
very large and gratifying to the Twin
City jobbers. Arrangements have been
made to entertain those of the mer-
chants who visit st. Paul.
The quarters Of the jobbers' union
and Commercial club will be at the
service of the visitors, and local COM
mittees will see to it that they are re-
ceived and left to want nothing. The
individual jobbers will take a hand in
the entertainment of the out-of-town
people. The excursion tickets will be
placed on sale for the territory today,
and will continue for ten days.
Some of the merchants who will at
tend are planning to visit st. Paul and
Minneapolis and then go to Duluth
where the convention of grocers is to
be held.

them and liked or disliked the manner in
which it was served upon the family table
The first dish that she prepared was devi.ed

bulk oysters and that the best way to test
an oyster was to note If there were any pink
rule, the oyster should not be used
She said that the chatting dish was used
much for sociabilty and. strange to relate
under those circumstances, many gentlemen
excelled many ladies in its use because they
took plenty of time while preparing and coo[-
ing what they intended to serve through

the various utensils used in conjunction with
the popular little vessel were shown and
why they should be placed thus and so.

The patronesses Of the local pure

rooms of the Commercial club and put
the programme in definite shape and
appointed several committees to fur
Their perfect arrangements.
Mrs. Ansel Oppenheim, chairman of
the committee, called the meeting to
order, and Miss Greve was elected sec
rotary.
Mrs. Oppenheim then addressed the
ladies, saying that it was to foster
home industry and further the arrange
ments to that end, that they had assem-
bled. She thought the success of the
exhibition largely depended upon the
programme, which they arranged, and
that they, as the ladies' auXillery, could
do much for the city in this respect.

tural school, also spoke, promising his
assistance in the undertaking, and also
