GREETED THEIR PREXY.
Alumni of Williams College Banquet
With President Carter as
Their Guest

President Franklin Carter, of Will
lams college, Williamson, Mass, was
the guest Of honor at banquet ten
dered by the Northwestern alumni Of
Williams college at the West hotel in
Minneapolis last evening. Minnesota.
Iowa and North Dakota were repre-
sented in the thirty-one who gathered
to welcome the head of their alma ma
ter, and most delightful time was
spent by all. They were there from the
class Of '53 to the class of '93. William
Cheney, of Minneapolis, heading the
list, having graduated with the first
mentioned class, just forty years be-
fore Frank Griggs, of ST. Paul. left
with the class of '93.
Tables We're laid in the ladies' ordi-
nary of the hotel, and at o'clock all
of the guests had gathered Tt was
shortly after o'clock that cigars were
lighted and Emmanuel Cohen under
took the duties of POSTMASTER Mr.
Cohen made brief address which was
thoroughly enjoyed. His humorous
references to his days at Williams were
appreciated by every one, and no one
laughed heartier than did President
Carter himself 1t was expected that
Mr.. Cohen would call upon some one
other than the guest of the evening to
follow him, but he chose, as he said. to
call upon the one least prepared, and
President Carter was introduced, If
such proceeding was necessary.
President Carter combined witty sto-
ries with a history of the college and
Of men who had left it's halls and had
made their marks in the world. He
q told of former presidents Of the college
and of their efforts in its behalf Will
lams college had not been endowed as
had some of the larger institutions Of
the country, but, instead, it had ad-
Vanced upon it's own merits, and it's
growth had been q substantial one.
Turning to other topics, President
Garter reached point where the fol-
lowing story seemed particularly ap-
propriate: A leading exponent of bimet-
Rllism was addressing a meeting in
an Eastern city. In his speech he re-
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-02-01

ferred to the downfall of the Roman
empire, and in this connection claimed
that it was because of the demonetiza-
ton Of silver that Rome fell. A Har-
ward student heard the remark and
noted it, and after the address, ap-
preached the speaker and asked him If
he had made such statement
did," was the reply.
Then you will have to admit" re-
sponded the Harvard man, that Chris
tlanlty came in on a gold basis"
The laughter which greeted this story
prevented any further explanation.
President Carter spoke upwards Of
an hour and was followed by others Of
the party.

CRUSHED UNDER THE WHEELS
Little Russell DeIanO Instantly
Killed the Street Car
Track

Poor, little seven-y ear-old Russell
Delano met a tragic death beneath the
wheels Of WaShburn Park street car
shortly after o'clock last evening. It
is mystery to all concerned how the
little fellow managed to get in the way.
However, he was horribly mangled and
death was instanteouS. What made
the accident more agOniZing to the par
ents was that they were not aware of
1t for almost three hours after their
only child's life had been crushed out.
III. H. Delano, the boys father, re-
sides at 1919 First avenue south, being
employed at John Whalen's feed store,
210 First avenue south. The family
frequently take their meals at a board
ing house at Ninth street and First
avenue south. Russell had preceded
his parents to the house last evening"
but as he had been playing, had just
began to eat as his father left the
table. The latter admOnished the boy
to come home Immediately after he had
finished supper.
During the evening the father was
busy writing letters and supposed that
his son was playing in another part Of
the house. Mrs. Delano had been visit
ing a friend and when she returned
home it was learned that no one had
started out for the boarding house and
was met on the way by a friend, who
broke the sad news to her.
The accident occurred about 1920
o'clock a few feet east of Tenth street
on the First avenue line. The car was
west-bound one in charge of Motoneer
Adams and Conductor Codo. The for
mer claims he saw no one on the track
The first one to notice anything out
of the way was w. ]. PflantZ, Of 3614
Stevens avenue, a passenger on the
trailer. He felt a shock and told the
conductor, who gave the signal to stop.
1t was beyond Eleventh street before
the car came to standstilh Upon 60
ing back the dead body was found on
the track, lying upon the side rail-
Mr. Pfantz and w. H. Donaldson, who
was passing, carried the mutilated re-
mains into the Lincoln residence,
where they lay until taken to the
morgue by order of Coroner Dennis,
who viewed the body. An inquest will
probably be held at 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning.

Lake CITY.

At recent meeting of the common council
of this city committee was appointed to de-
wise a means of abating the tramp nuisance
The plan which was proposed and now in
operation, is somewhat similar to the one
adopted by the authorities in other towns
and If the private families will cooperate
with the movement there will be a tendency
to complete determination of the tramp This
is the plan: Every family is provided with
a number OF printed tickets, each one of
which will entitle the holder to a meal When
the tramp asks for food, the housewife is re-
Quested to present him with ticket and sim
ultaneously refer him to the city marshal
The key to the success of the scheme is, that
although the ticket is good for a square meal
the city sets the table, and the tramp will
have TO pay his board bill In labor at the
stone pile or on the street

Straightforward News of the Mill

The taking Of evidence in the Grim

neapoliS, came to an end yesterday
after much of the day had been spent
I'm hearing the evidence Of NJ. H. Bou-
telle and Robert w. Webb. The state
mentS of these two witnesses were but
a repetition largely of the evidence al
ready given regarding the West Pull
man deal.
Before closing the state asked to
present the petition attached to the
Hart affidavit in evidence, when the
defense objected and there was long
argument against it's admission. 1t
was the purpose of the state to show
that the affidavit had gone malicious
ly beyond the petition it was a part Of.
They wanted to show what the attor-
ney was after when he filed the afh-
davit. The court ruled 1T out. Judge
- Russell'S decision, in the hearing of OBJ
jections to the fees, was offered next,
and was received without objection by
the defense.
THE state rests" said Mr.. F'lannery.
c. j. lockwood was called by the
defense and testified that he is an at
torney- at-laW and was attorney for
several of the Menage collateral cred
itors representing $4,000. Referring
to the testimony of Foster to the eff
feet that he had consented and ap-
proved to the bond sale, he said it was
a mistake. He had received a circular
and sent it to his clients. He did not
appear at the hearing, and no one re-
quested him to. Cross examined, the
witness admitted that he did not know

deal.

very time the Pullman company was
said to be bankrupt the trust COM
pany had written the agency for in
formation regarding the condition of
various plants at West Pullman.
This isn't surrebuttal," said the
court.
Yes. it Is" said Mr. Jackson and
he argued some more. Then Mr.. Elan
merry argued, and Mr.. Jackson, wanting
the last word, argued again. He told
the jury what the papers were and
what they showed.
Reports Of commercial agencies are
not evidence. These reports prove
nothing" said the court. 'I can't take
judicial notice of the standing of a
commercial agency"
Mr.. Hatch exercised his voice in ar
gument asking to have the evidence
allowed in. Mr.. Jackson replied to Mr..
Hatch.
Have you any more evidence 2"
asked the court.
II think not" said Mr. Jackson.
Then I will hold this decision until
morning" said the court, and an ad-
Journment was taken until this morn
ing. Today the arguments of attor-

merry will sum up for the state, and
Mr.. Jackson will close for the defense.
