an educational exhibit at this late day.
The commission decided to drop that
proposition.
The managers of the state agricul-
tural society agreed to loan the COM
mission the forestry exhibit, which
was brought from the worlds fair and
located on the fair grounds.
Mr.. Greatsinger, to whom had been
referred the mining exhibit, said he
had been unable to see any Of the
presidents of the mining companies,
but he would personally guarantee an
exhibit fully as large as that at the
worlds fair
Mr.. Mind reported that the cost of
a building according to the plans SUBJ
mitted at the last meeting would not
exceed $4,000. including material, labor
and cost of transportation.
1t was decided to erect the building.
providing it can be done for $4,000, and
the commission raised $4,000.
In this connection letter was read
from the managers at Omaha, stating
that they had applications for % per
cent more space than they had to give,
and that they were reSerVing space for
Minnesota only out Of courtesy, and
that application should be made at
once. The commission will act accord

The assessments are apportioned &C
cording to the assessed valuation of
the different counties.
An Omaha paper Of a recent date
says:
A prolonged conference was held between
Manager Bruce, OF the department of ex-
hibits, and the several superintendent of
that department relative to the closing I'D
of all contracts for space and the enforce
ment OF the rules of the department. which
provides that no applications for space will
be received after March l. Several of the
superintendent stated that they had ne
gotiations pending for space for exhibits Of
different kinds which they had been unable
to close in time to comply with the rule,
and urged that the time be extended in or
der to allow Them to complete these arrange
mentS.
The recent action Of the executive COM
mittee in authorizing anneXes to be made
to certain of the main buildings was dis
cussed in the same connection and 1t was
the opinion Of all present that this would
give enough space to allow of certain
groups and classes of exhibits being en-
larged. 1t was, therefore, decided to &C
cept applications for space for certain
groups and classes Of exhibits until March
10. and instructions will be issued accord
ingly to the various agents of the depart
mentS.

LATCHFORD LECTURE.
Word Pictures of Browning, Tenny-
son, Victor Hugo, Swinburne,
William Morris md Others.

Mr.. Latchford commenced his lee
ture last night in the ST. Paul Com
mons with a few remarks on the dan
gers Of Renaissance. The necessity
for constant use Of the first personal
pronoun suggested the beginning Of
Mark Twain's speech on a similar sub
ject: Homer Is dead. Dante has
gone over to the majority. Milton is
no more. Shakespeare has joined the
immortals. Goethe Is pursuing culture
in heaven. Byron's warfare is over,
and I am not feeling very we'll this
evening. myself"
The great poetry of the world repre-
sents far more than the artistic quail
ity of expression. Until the appear
ance Of decadent literature in our time
the cry was never heard of art for
arts sake. True art is always for
mans sake.
Thyself and thy belongings
Are not thine own so proper to waste
Thyself upon thy virtues.
For II our virtues
Did not go forth of U.S. 'twere all alike
AS If We had them not.
Spirits are not finely touched
But to fine issues.
Mr.. LatchfOrd continued:
"POetry's highest function has been
to crystalline the ideals of the race,
including those standards of spiritual
beauty. which, once established. can
never be essentially changed or modi-
lied by any new confessions of faith
or by all the discoveries of physical
science.

REACHED A COMPROMISE
EXECUTIVE AGENT FULLERTON
DECIDES TO ACCEPT $1,000
Instead of Pushing the Case against
Kingston, the Tower Man, 10 u
COnclusiOn-Hfs Fine Figured by
Birds Would Have Reached the
Sum of $4,000.

Executive Agent Fullerton yester-
day returned from Duluth, where he
compromised the action Of the state
against Kingston, living at Tower, for
| 81 900.
Kingston was indicted by the grand
jury at Duluth recently, for shipping
800 cartridges out of season. The law
imposes a fine Of $40 for every such
offense. and the very smallest fine
which the court would have imposed
| had the case been taken into court
would have been $4,000.
Executive Agent Fullerton Is very
| jubilant over the conviction of King
ston. as he has been trying to break
up his business for three years past.
Kingston has been very adroit, Mr..
Fullerton says. in his efforts to elude
the law, and it was only after very
neat piece Of detective work that his
conviction was secured.
He was defended by Draper, Davis
| and Hollester, of Duluth. who arrang-
ed the compromise between Executive
Agent Fullerton and County Attorney
G. II. Arburg, Of st. Louis county.
One Of the deputies went to Tower.
met MI. Kingston, representing him
self as q member Of q st. Paul COM

500 cartridges, which he could sell. but
they were forty miles up the country.
"A Uetl 5oIIl was iIlctuc, dIlu dIISI D. lWO-
days drive in the cold the cartridges
were at the station at Tower. His ar
| rest and conviction followed.
Executive Agent Fullerton thinks he
has broken UP the band of poacherS
who have been preying upon the game

| state Kingston's conviction Is. he
says. one Of the best pieces Of work
| done by the commission this year.
! Executive Agent Fullerton says there
| is a firm which has been carrying on
| @ trade in game birds, out Of season,
| to large extent, and he expects to
| make an arrest shortly.
| An order will be issued to the dealers
in fish throughout the state, who per-

that the pike, which they have now on
hand, was shipped in through Canada.

THEY CANNOT ASSIGN.
Insolvent Savings and Loan AssOcia-
lions Must Be Wound Up by
Receivers.

Judge Otis filed an order and memo
randum yesterday in the case Of G.
w. Gilbert and others against the ST.
Paul Savings and Loan association, in
which he holds that associations Of
that character canot be under the gen.
eral state law.
Accordingly the court grants the
plaintiffs motion for judgment that
the defendant cOmpany's assignment
for the benefit Of creditors be set aside,
and that the court appoint a receiver.
In the course of his memorandum
Judge Otis says:
Many of the shareholders have exercised
quired notice, but. by reason of great fnan-
cial depression. the defendant has been I'M
able to meet these demands. The stock can
never be matured nor the purposes of the
association cOnsummated.
The general scheme of such associations
contemplates that there shall be no cred
itors and the relation of the shareholders
to 1t and to each other is much in the ma
ture of partnership. And especially is
this method manifest when the association
has failed in it's purpose and nothing can be
done but to pay off such general indebted
ness as may have been necessarily, or by
misfortune, or mismanagement created, and
to distribute the residue of the property
equitably and ratably among the stock
holGerS.
In this case there seems to be no general
Indebtedness of any amount save one
assets and property Is confessedly many
times more than sufficient to pay off the
general Indebtedness.
The association undertook to go into
liquidation, under chapter $50. General
Laws 1897. The act was declared invalid
by the courts and the directors, without
authority of the shareholders undertook
to make general assignment for the bene-
fit of creditors, under the nsolvent law Of
1881 amended.
The intent Of this attempted action was
not to protect general creditors. for to
them nothing of the kind was necessary,
but was to devise scheme whereby the
property could be disposed of by an as
signee selected by the directors, and the
proceeds, less what might be required to
pay Off the general creditors, distributed
among the shareholders.
Having in mind their rights and relations,
1t does not seem to me that the insolvent
law of 1881 is adapted or was ever in
tended to meet such a situation. An as
signment under that act can be made only
when the association has become insolvent:
that is. unable to pay its general creditors,
and. In view Of the large amount Of availa-
Bile assets and that attachments had
been made. the association was not insol-
vent In the general acceptation of that
term. Such assignment be made only
for the benefit Of those who file releases
and verified Gains. but no release can be
required of shareholders nor verified proof
Of claim. AS shareholders they are entitled
to the residue and to participate in the dis
tribution upon evidence merely of their cor
porate relation.

The revised table is as follows:

1t will be seen by the foregoing that
at no time did the per capita cost Of
running the state exceed S1.67,
while the first table prepared which in
Guided the cost Of running the state in
situations, gave the lowest per capita
expenses as $1.79, while the highest was
S2.S1.
Gov. Clough thinks the maximum
Of $1.67 for the last ten years Is an ex-
cellent showing. The various trust
funds which are for the most part de-
rived from the sale of state lands, are
simply held in trust by the state for
the various institutions, and any
moneys paid out by the state treasurer
of these funds should not be charged
up to the state as an expense, as it
was simply an investment by the state
1t will also be seen by the foregoing
table that for none Of the years did the
aggregate running expense of the state
exceed $2,S00,000, while in the table
originally prepared, the expenses for
1897 were $4,50O,O0O, with per capita
expense of $685.
