ART EXHIBITLON.
Under Auspices of Mary Clap Wooster
 Chapter, D. A. R., in Warner Hall,

The exhibition of original drawings at Warner hall under the auspices of the Mary Clap Wooster lodge, of the D. A. R., began at two o'clock yesterday afternoon and closed at 10. During the hours large number of citizens availed themselves of the opportunity of viewing the collection and each one was loud in their praise of it.
 The pictures were painted or drawn for the purpose of being reproduced to illustrate Senator Lodges 'The Story of the Revolu- tion" and Captain Mahan's '"The American Navy in the Revolution, to run in Scrib. ner's Magazine this year. Now, strangely enough, this was the first time all the mod ern forces and resources of the illustrative art had been brought to bear upon the Rey. olution. There have been many photographs of old places as they are to-day and stock photographs of ancient paintings, more or less accurately conceived. But systematic attempt to reproduce in pictures the atmo- sphere and color of the time along with his. torical accuracy and the modern realism of detail was Il new thing, and the results ob- tained surpassed all expectations.
 The exhibition Is under the auspices of the Mary Clap Wooster chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution and Is deserv. ing of liberal patronage. All those who attend will be well repaid.
 The following card Is self-explanatory:

SOCIAL EVIL PROBLEM.
Van wyck ofN New York and Mayor Flower
 of New Orleans Discuss It.

New York, Jan 17--Mayor w. c. Flower of New Orleans called upon Mayor Van Wyck to-day and the two mayors engaged in a consultation on the social evil problem. MT. Flower said that New Orleans had adopted a plan similar to that of Paris, restricting certain women to one section of the city in which were to be found all concert halls and other establishments where disorder was likely to occur. Mayor Van Wyck said that the regulation of the social evil was one of the serious difficulties with which this city would have to deal, and he seemed inclined to think that the New Orleans modified tion of the Parisian plan would have to be adopted sooner or later by all Amer ican cities.

Making Any Argument or Lobbying for
 Passage of Treaty-However, if Called
 Upon, He Will Give Information.
 San Francisco, Jan. 17.-When Pres ident Dole of Hawaii landed this morn- ing he was not received with any great ceremony. When the steamer docked this morning he was greeted by the Ha- waiian consul and few friends, but there were no representatives of the United States government to formally welcome him. The customs officers passed the baggage of the family with out inspection. President Dole went to the Occidental hotel and received a number of reporters. He said:
 T do not come to the United States to work for annexation. I am merely on friendly visit to this country. l expect to remain in San Francisco three or four days, when l will start for Washington and will call upon President Mckinley. It was thought best by my government that during the consideration of annexation l would better be in Washington and advise the Hawaiian legation on certain matters,
 'It is not my intention to make or do any lobbying for annexation. Of course, if am called upon to give an informa- tion will readily do so I am also in- terested in the form of government to be adopted in case of annexation. Pending report of the committee Ha- waii will probably be regarded as a ter ritory, and Mckinley will appoint a governor. Certain changes will have l to be made in the present form of gov ernment. I think the sentiment of the people of the island is more than ever l in favor of annexation. To be sure. there are some natives who are indiffer- ent and others who are opposed to an
 nexation, but no one really knows just l how many"

A man living west OF Minnewaukan
had one OF the narrowest escapes from
death by lightning last Monday, ever
recorded. The bolt tore a hole through
his hat, ran down his back and one leg
tearing his coat and pants and his shoe
leaving a burnt streak from his hip
down. His leg was ~paralyzed at first,
but at last accounts he was improving
rapidly and no doubt will entirely re-
cover.
This from the Mandan Times shows
how acute is criticism on the west

one end of it and then to New York to
finish up.
Mandan Times: The most expensive
waistcoat eve seen in town was worn
by a young Indian on the streets yester-
day. 1t was ornamented with rows of

each at which rate the boys garment
was worth at least 5000. In any large
city the teeth could readily be sold for

ness seemed to settle over the city of
Grafton. Heavy black clouds hung
over head and every indication Of a
severe storm was forecast. Hail began
to fall faster and faster until the streets
We're paved with ice. The hail at first
came almost straight down: then a west
wind spang up and window glass on the
west sides of buildings began to suffer.
Large buildings such as the court house,
mill and Central school building lost
over 100 lights of glass each, while the
windows in residence buildings were
more or less smashed. Nothing like it
had been here before. Although heavy
hail storms have swept over the country
near here several times. DR.. Glaspei,
who was visiting IA patient ten miles
west of here started for home just before
the storm began and was out in the en-
tire down fall of ice. The hail went
right through his buggy top and his
horses we're covered with Jumps. He
passed one mar who was in the ditch
with his buggy on top of him, horses
gone. The stock near Roger Allin's
place were running wild across the
country. Jacob Anderson was caught
out in the storm. His horse became
frantic and he got out to hold him by
the head and the hail stones battered
his hands up pretty bad splitting his
finger nails.
Roger Allin, who was serving on the
jury received word that his place had
been wrecked and went out to view the
damage. He returned Saturday morn
ing with the word that his crop was
ruined and no feed left on his pasture.
Word was also brought in on Saturday
that the hail swept over a strip fifteen
miles wide from Park River southwest
to Ramsey county. A young mar by
the name Of James Butler living in
Praha township was killed in the storm.
In some sections there was a regular
cyclone, and buildings were destroyed.
Some Of the fields of wheat are ham
mered into the ground, while adjoining
fields apparently escaped with slight or
no injury. 1t was a fearful storm and
it is impossible to estimate the damage.
Considerable of the loss is covered by
hail insurance.
Reports have come from a number of
places Of the killing Of stock, one man
in Minnesota is said to have lost five
horses. The wind must have been
severe in places, it carrying hail across
rooms and breaking glass on both sides
of a house; even driving the glass across
the rooms and leaving it sticking in the
woodwork on the OppOsite side.

Several Hundred Miles Out on the
Pacific Ocean, June 30.-(By Carrier
Pigeon to the TR1BuNE.)-The good
steamer Valencia is steaming on hel
way to Manila to help Dewey. AS she
left the harbor at San Francisco there
was wild cheering, and whistling of tugs
and other vessels. The soldier boys
answered these farewells by throwing
up their hats, caps and whatever other
property they could muster. Even now,
far away from land and with no one to
see, many of the boys continue to throw
up everything within reach.
The Valencia was heavily loaded
when she left Frisco but is lighter O
Every man aboard has helped to Tighten
her load and the Pacific ocean is dotted
here and there with articles that were
carried on board by the soldier boys,
and afterward cast ont on the bosom of
the broad ocean.
This is the first occasion that the
boys have really admired the army ra-
tons. 1t is not SO distressing to have to
part with them. Some of the boys feel
a grim relief in tossing their portion of
the grub into the sea. 1t is the first
chance they have had to play even.
The Valencia carries provisions
enough in her hold to last us for six
months, at the ordinary rate Of con-
sumption. At the present rate there
will be some of the food left when even.
ing dawns in eternity.
The boys are now maneuvering in en-
tended order. They are extended along
the sea rails of the Valencia, casting
their bread upon the waters.
Our loading and firing drill stands us
in good stead, and we pass through a
loading and firing experience three times
a day-breakfast, dinner and supper.
We all load together, and fire IN COM
