the play was given in compliance with
suggestion to Dean TarTar by the
late Archbishop Benson, and as part
OF the celebration OF the thirteenth
centenary OF St Augustlne's landing
In England. Although 1t lost consis-
erahiy from the lack OF proper scenic
accommodation and adequate stage
room. the drama passed on on the
whole with success. Il consists OF ten

Her Betrayer.

Eight months ago, young woman
who refused toreveal her name or home
was taken from the Tourtellotte hos
oital to the poor farm and there gave
birth to a child, She was a stranger in
the city, and had only been at the hos
pital few days. The day after she
left, well dressed man called there to
see her, but did not leave his name and
has not been seen since. The young
woman would not give the name of her
0etcayer She finally gave her own
name as Augusta Canon, but whether
this is an assumed name or not is not
known 1t is believed that her home is
N the southwestern part Of this state
The county commissioners had several
opportunities to place the child with
families who wanted TO. take it. but de
cided TO turn it over 20 the children's
state aid society, of st Paul which
would watch it after it was placed in
good home to see it was we'll taken care
of. Edward Savage, of st. Paul,
representing this society, came to Man

Miss Canon is small, delicate APP
gearing young woman, with retiring
disposition, and settled expression of
sadness on her face, indicating how
deeply her disgrace has impressed itself
2lpon her mind She has faithfully kept
cthe secret of the father of the child,
and if this person is half man he will
40 whatever lays in his power to atone
FOR the wrong which he has done. Miss
Canon intends to work out for livli

Receiver Clark Gets Orders
From the Court.
Application to Have the Money Re.
Ceived From the Glass Block APP.
piled 10 Rents, Insurance, Etc.

The hearing came up before Judge
Severance Wednesday on the appli-
rat N of Samuel Sternberger, of Phila-
1elphia. for the appointment OF a spe
cial receiver for Longini 81 Thoms to
collect the rents and other income OF
ehe GLASS Block and apply them on the
taxes insurance and repairs. Mr..
Steruberger was represented by w. L..
Comstock and Mitchell Cohen q
Shaw, and Receiver Geo. H. Clark was
represented by W. E. Young.
Mr.. Sternberger, who holds Sl2,-
800 mortgage on the Glass Block, al
3eges that the income from the build
ing is now placed in the general fund,
whereas taxes TO the amount of 500
are in default. the insurance is not kept
,lp to the satisfaction Ct the plaintiff,
and 81 600 worth of repairs are needed.
No one is named for special receiver IN
She application, but 1t is given out that
Mr. Clark would be satisfactory The
question is not what individual shall be
she receiver, but what shall be done
with the money received. AT present
This money is placed in the general
fund
1t is claimed on the part of the de-
Tense that Mr. Sternberger in Deem
Der, 1896, loaned Longini & Thoms
81 800 and took mortgage which he
fraudulently kept from the records I'M
Ill June, 1897, during which time the
irm was insolyent, ard that many OF
the creditors became creditors while
1he mortgage was off of the records
For this reason, the granting of the pc
5ition was opposed.
The court made an order directing
Receiver Clark to hold the receipts OF
the building until the suit has been
tried. This was done by stipulation OF

Now that Mr. Carnegie has made an
alliance with Col. Bryan in which he
promises to furnish him the stuff to
prosecute another presidential cam
paign, it will be interesting to note the
latter gentleman's position against
grasping monopoly and great wealth as
one of the dangerous foes of the repub-.
lie. But there is just possibility that
Democracy will not ratify the alliance.
That will doubtless be an awfnl
thought for Bryan, and its material
lzation will leave him badly stranded.
though not more so than would the
adoption of anti expansion as an issue
leave the Democratic party.

The legislature will meet next week,
and already members are gathering in
st. Paul, in anticipation of the event.
AS it is virtually settled that A. N.
Dare will be speaker of the house, the
absence of a speakership contest lends
more than the usual interest as to who.
will head the more important COM
mlttees of the two houses. The poll
tical writer on the St. Paul DISPATCH
says that 1t seems to be conceded, that
Senator Young will be chairman of the
judiciary committee of the senate.
Senator Greer will probably be a candi-
date for his old place at the head of the
committee on taxes and tax laws
Senator Daniel Shell is also spoken of
in this connection. Senator Stockton.
who was chairman Of the committee on
railroads during the last session, is q
candidate for the place again. He has
a strong rival in Senator Smith. an old
member of the senate. Senator Knat-
void, OF Albert Lea, is spoken of in con-
nection with the Craftsmanship of the
finance committee. Senator Dougherty
of Duluth, is also mentioned. In the
matter of house committees, of course
MIR. Dare will make no move until after
he is elected speaker, but it is expected
that A. F. Ferris, of Brainerd, will
land the chairmanship of the appropria-
ton committee, while Representative
Dunn, of Ramsey county. is favorably
spoken of to head the judiciary com
mittee. G. F. Staples, of Dakota county
is mentioned in connection with ths
committee on general legislation. It'll
predicted that either Yale or Gutter.
son will head the normal school com.
mittee, the latter it is thought if he
wants it.
