WOMEN IN COMPETITION
One of the Features of the Food and
Health Exposition at Market Hall
YeRterdav.

The ladies who crowded into the lecture
room at the food and health exposition at
Market hall yesterday were given an unusual
treat in several ways.
They enjoyed the novelty of witnessing a
competition for two money prizes among la
dies of the city. One prize was for the most
novel and attractive foreign or American dish
submitted.
While the Investigations were going on as
to what lady should be awarded the prizes,
Griggs, Cooper & Co. served their gas-roasted
coffee free, and the Heinz Pickle company
served it's widely advertised tomato soup.
Miss Rancho had for her lecture subject.

charming little authority makes them.
The judges at the competition were Mrs.
Driscoil, Mrs. Thyme and Mrs. Thornton The
first prize was awarded to Mrs. 7. b.
Wheelock, who furnished a blended extract
pudding. 1t was made with the extracts man
ufactured by Griggs, Cooper & Co.. and COM
posed of eight nine colors
The second prize was given to Mrs. Fred H.
Harm, Of st. Paul, who submitted a strange
looking, but quite inviting, French salad
called ''noix froute." 1t made largely OF
walnuts, celery pieces and white grapes.
Miss Agnes G. Cristadoro, young miss OF
not more than fourteen, was given an honora-
Bile mention for her baked orange cake.

ever interesting Mix Family orchestra added
to the pleasures of the evening with par
ticularly we'll rendered musical programme.

her lecture will be salads and salad dress
ing. Next week will be the last.

WISE CONNIE MACK
Shows Bert Myers Exactly What He
Holds

1t is not altogether certain that Bert Myers.
the heavyweight third baseman of the Brew
ers. will wear a Milwaukee uniform the COM
Ing season. Last year Bert played horse with
Connie Mack and failed to report for duty
when the season opened. When he did
reach the city he was cut of condition and
played an indifferent game at times during
the season. This spring he is trying the old
racket, but this time he will have to dance
to Connie Macks music. as the Milwaukee
manager has decided to change his tactics.
Bert is shrewd in some ways and he has
not forgotten how to work managers for more
pay II such a thing is possible. The other
day he began figuring the thing out and con-
cluded that Mack would stand pat on his
present offer without pressure was brought
to bear on the case. Bert Immediately sought
the helping hand OF Tom Brown. manager
of the Washington team. The Brewer third
baseman resides in the capital city and ar
ranged with Brown to scare Connie. In
der to make strong play the Washington
manager telegraphed Mack asking If he
could secure his release as he wanted him
for the Senators. Brown also hnted at a
trade. Connie smelled a mouse somewhere
and Immediately wired back that Myers was
not for sale to the National league, as he
had just about closed a deal for his transfer
to a Western association club in exchange for
one of the best men in that league. Since
that time, Brown has not been heard from.
Now Connie is mad, and he really has be-
gun negotiations for the sale of Myers to a
prospect of the deal going through, unless
Myers speedily comes to terms. Should
transfer be made, the joke would be on the
other side

DAVIS Is NON-COMMITTAL.
Interview with the Senator on the
Report Of the Court.


WASHINGTON March Ex-senator
Davis, chairman of the committee on
foreign relations. had brief interview
with Assistant Secretary Roosevelt to-
day, but had no information to impart
at it's conclusion. Senator Davis said
that it was his understanding that the
Maine report would be sent to congress
next Monday, but its transmission
might be delayed until Tuesday,
AS to the disposition to be made of
it by the senate, he said that in all
probability, after the reading of the
message of transmittal, 1t would be
referred to the committee on foreign
relations, with order for printing. Any
senator, however, might demand the
reading Of the report in the senate and
II 1T should not prove to be too long,
that course might be pursued, owing
to the intense interest in its contents.
He was decidedly of the opinion that
there would be no debate upon 1t until
it had been considered by the foreign
relations committee.
An expression of opinion as to the &C
ton of either the committee or of
congress in regard to the report would
be premature at this time, in Senator
Davis judgment, as only those who
had read the report had any
definite idea of the findings Of
the court Of inquiry, and even they
might not be prepared to say what
course it would be most desirable and
polite to pursue.

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

The Milwaukee Sentinel says: "Kansas
City has the appearance of first division
team So it had last year.
Lange and Nance, of the Chicago team, have
been crippled by the bad grounds at Way
cross. Ga. and Manager Burns is travelling
over the South looking for new quarters
Morning practice has been abandoned until
other grounds can be secured.
The Cincinnati club has released Pitcher
Ham, and he has signed with the Detroit
club. Hahn was drafted by Cincinnati last
iall. but refused to sign a contract, and did
rot go to Texas with the Reds. He will prob
ably join the Tigers at Nashville.
Kid Nichols, of the Boston club, claims
that the big schedule calls for twenty-five
games more than last seson and he asks for
$500 raise. This will make his salary $1,000
Nichols has been faithful to the Boston club
for years, and his friends think his demands
are just. He is now receiving less money
than three other pitchers in the National
league, and he was the leading factor in the
success Of the team last season In winning
the pennant.
Gus Schmelz, manager of the Minneapolfs
base ball team of the Western league was In
this city yesterday, says a Chicago paper He
thinks a wise move was made when Omaha
was given the eighth franchise in the league.
He does not see with the exposition within a
block OF the ball grounds how Omaha can
be anything but paying town. Mr.. Schmelz
left last evening for st. Louis. to make ar
plays there next week. They will play Mon
day. Tuesday and Wednesday, and will go
from there to st. Joseph. Mo.
Captain Robinson. of Baltimore, says of the
schedule: II guess we won't have any need
for ordinary clothes valises this season.
1t seems to be case of play ball. grab a
sandwich and run for the train. I'm going
to buy jumper a pair of overalls and a
big sponge, and that will be all my baggage
We viii not have time to change uniforms,
so l viii haul the jumpers and overalls on
over my uniform when not playing"
Frank Foreman has written Manager Allen
that ne is not satisfied with the terms offered
and he thinks that it is wrong to ask men
of his ability to play fer the Western league
salary limit, when they get much more
money in other company. He says that he
could 90 into the big league tomorrow If he
could secure his release from Cincinnati

They Will Be shown No Mercy in
Havana in the Event of War with
the United States

PITTSBURG. Pa. March 25-CharIes B.
Price. superintendent of the Allegheny Valley
railroad, today arrived home from a sight
seeing trip in Havana.
Relative to his observations in Cuba, he
said: Consul General Lee informed our
party that we were leaving Havana in the
nick of time, and I want to say right here,
the newspaper accounts we get here in the
United States regarding the suffering in Cuba
are not one bit exaggerated. In fact, they
don't really tell the truth by half. Why, it is
simply appalling.
The Spaniard hates the American, and he
Is only waiting for war to be declared. God
help Americans who remain in Havana once
the terrible carnage commences. I'm afraid
they will all be massacred"

TO PAY THE INTEREST.


ton of the Old Reform School
Property.
State Auditor Dunn yesterday rented the
portion of the old reform school property on
Marshall avenue remaining unsold, to a
market gardener for $130 per year
This is the first revenue the state will re-
ceive from these lands since the reform
school was rmoved to Red Wing, Mimi.
Some years ago the reform school board bor-
rowed S115,C00 and issued certificates based
upon the valuation of this property. with in
terest at per cent in advance These have
become due, and the state auditor has no
funds with which to meet the interest.
Mr.. Dunn recommended to the legislature
that these lands be turned over to the credit
of the general revenue fund, inasmuch aS the
state would have to eventually pay the inter-
est. No provision was made for this by the
legislature, and the interest is now left un-
paid.
This is an exigency which the next legis-
lature will have to meet.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 25-
The sudden death yesterday of John
5. Hopkins, cashier of the PEOPLES
bank, and the assignment made last
night by the Guarantors' Finance COM
pany, were followed today by disclos-
ures which showed an important con-
nect1on between the two events.
The coroner's investigation this af-
ternoon developed the fact, hitherto
concealed by the family, that Hopkins
had committed suicide by shooting him
self, and an examination of the affairs
OF the Peoples bank by its officers re-
suited in the revelation that Hopkins
nad, during the past two years, loaned
the banks funds in large amounts to
Richard F. Loper, general manager Of
the Guarantors' Finance company.
These loans, which remain unpaid and
aggregate, it is said, over $500, 900, were
made wholly without the knowledge of
the officers and directors of the bank.
The securities given by Loper as col
lateral for the loans were found, ac-
cording to the statement of one of the
banks officials. to have very little
value
In consequence Of these revelations
the bank today closed its doors in
definitely.
The state insurance commissioner on
Wednesday asked the court to appoint
receiver Cor the Guarantors' COM
pany, which did an insurance business
and it is believed that Hopkins. on
learning that the company could not
make good its Indebtedness to the
bank and knowing that exposure would
follow an investigation of the Guar
antors' affairs. concluded to end his
troubles by taking his life.
Confidence in Cashier
President James McManes, OF the
Peoples Bank. said today that he held
the utmost confidence in Cashier Hop
kins and that his deception in the ex-
tensive transactions with Loper was
an unpleasant surprise.
1t is the general belief in financial
circles that the bank will pay dollar
for dollar to its creditors. President
McManes is reputed to be worth at
least $10000,000, and he is credited with
the statement that he would see that
no creditor of the bank lost a cent.
The directors are: James G.. Wells,
Clay Kenble Allen B. Rorke and John
Wiseman. Cashier Hopkins was also
director. Clay Kemble, a director
the wealthy Kemble estate which has
large holdings of the banks stock.
The bank was incorporated in 1870
under the state laws and for years was
known as the political bank" because
1T attended to the financial transac-
tions of nearly every city or state poll
tician of note. In recent years, how
ever, the bank has not beer so extern
sively patroniZed by politicians as for
merly.
United States Senator Quay has had
extensive dealings with the bank, but
telegram received today from Mr..
Quay stated that he was not affected
in any way by the failure.
The bank has a capital stock of $780,
900 and is an official depository for the
city and state.
The active deposit Of the states
funds is $5O5.0OO and Of the states
sinking fund there is on deposit about
$250.0O0
City Treasurer McMichael says there
is $4,000 of city money on deposit, this
being about 13 per cent of the deposit
to which the bank is entitled by law.
