France, Germany, Russia and every coun-
try Of the old world Her domain of ar
tistic triumph is well nigh universal, and
her musical conquests have been won in
every part of the civilized world, but in
spite Of all this it is impossible to forget
that the chief portion Of her career as a
concert pianist Is identified with this
country. Her debut WAS made in New
York when she. was only nine years old
Her first concert tours were in the Unit
ed States. and here it was that she gain
ed her first artistic recognition. Her
present tour in this country has been a
succession Of triunphs, and there is no

Olive ThOFne Miller Gives Her First
Lecture ON ssFfnches."
At the first OF a series of lectures on
Birds given IN the lecture room Of the
Peoples church yesterday afternoon,
Olive Thomas Miller, entertained an In
terested audience OF more than ZOO for
the most part teachers in the public
schools. The lecture dealt with the finch
branch of the bird family, and was IL
Illustrated with inaninate specimens. The
lecturer showed herself thoroughly ia
miltar with birds and bird life, recfting
the nature, characteristics, and many
qualities In birds, which had brought her
to study and love the feathered family.
Many members of the finch family, the
speaker said, were to be found in Mime
sota. With knowledge of. birds the diff
ferent species could readily be distin-
guished. The. idea that birds could be
known by6their. singing, the lecturer said,
was a mistake. No two birds sang alike
nor were the notes Of the same bird alike
each time they were uttered. Deformities
were frequent among birds. Often birds
had been captured, according to the
speaker, with three legs, 3three heads or
three wings. Birds With crossed beaks
were common. Birds. with this latter de-
formity, said the lecturer, would starve,
except that other birds, fed them after
the manner Of old birds feeding their
young - .'-s.''..- - a. =
Arrangements were made at the con-
clusion Of the lecture for out door bird
study. Mrs. Miller will take classes Of

can be studied in their native state. The

Singers the -Thrushess will be-. given at

ESPRIT De CORPS Is LACKING
SCHOOL TEACHERS AT OUTS
WITH THE PRINCIPAL
They Have Never Worked i'm Har-
mony With the Head of the In
stitutton, and u Shaking Out May
BE the. Result.

IRe report In & morning paper that the
board Of education would make a change
IN the principalShfp of the Central hfgIr
school caused great deal Of indignatfou
among the members of the board, except
by the enc who carried the news. to the
ten-story building. The board had been
conducting little Investigation into the
management of the school. bringing. to-
light the true condition of affairs In the.
school, of which the board had been more
er5less ignorant In the past. It is claim
ed that a certain clique Of teachers has
J from time to time attempted to run the
school, irrespective Of the principal, and
1t Is claimed that they are responsible
for all the trouble that has occurred SINCE
Principal Bryant took charge. Instead OF
Principal Bryant losing his official head
1t is said to be more likely that some OF
the Central high school teachers will be
given a chance to- secure positions else
where.
1t Is said by one supposed to- know
the condition of affairs ut the Central
high that every principal who has oc-
cupied the chair has been harrassed and
I dictated to by these teachers, and 1t is
we'll known that when Supt. Smith took
Office as superintendent several Of them
very narrowly. escaped being let out by
the board. When Prof. Julian c.. Bryant
became principal he became heir to the
dissensions of the past It may be said
that It was partially at hts instance that
these teachers were retained In the school
when he took charge. They all agreed
to support him in every particular and
after a conference with Supt. Smith the
matter was dropped and the teachers
were. not disturbed In their positions
The matter was, however, laid before the
beard with greater or less detail, and 1t
took firm stand supporting the princf-
pal. It was given out that no further
arbitrary conduct on the part Of the
teachers would be tolerated, and that the
board would support the, principal in
maintaining the proper discipline in the
school Supt Smith was Thoroughly fa-
mfliar with the conditions as he oceu-
pied the principals chair for several
years, and during the whole period was
in hot water with the disturbing fac
ton. For that reason he has been able
to give the board accurats information
upon the subject and the result Of the
boards inquiry Is bringing to light a
state Of affairs which may result in q
when the next years appointments are
decided upon by the board
A member Of the board was seen yes
terday and stated that no one had been
mentioned for MIR. Bryant'5 place. and
that the board was endeavorfng to get
at the facts regarding the discipline in
the school. that 1t might act intelltgently
when the proper time arrived.

SAYS CONRAD is CRUEL.
Why MRthiIde Spies Asks for "a d.
VOFee From Him.


Mathilde Spies yesterday commenced an
action in district court for an absolute
divorce or judicial separation from her
husband, Conrad Spies, a shoemaker lfv-
ing at 7l7 Rondo street. The grounds al
legged are cruel and inhunan treatment
and non-support, and the plaintiff asks
that she be geiven a portion of the prop
erty. The case will come up for hearing
Saturday at special term of court before
Judge Kelly
According to the complaint, the Spies
were married In Germany in 1898. when
Mrs. Spies was twenty-one and her hus-
band seven years older. They have one
son who is now eight years old, and for
the last eight years have lived in St.
Paul.
The plaintiff alleges that Spies has
called her. bad names and treated both
herself and her son with studied con-
tempt and that it is unsafe for her to
longer live with him. Furthermore she
says for the past six years she has been
working out to support herself and the
family and has purchased all the furni-
ture' at her home with the proceeds of
her labor. Spies, according to, the een-
plant, is possessed of considerable real
estate and the plaintiff asks that she be
given an interest In the property with an
absolute divorce or judicial separation
and permission to resume her maiden
name of Mathf1da DoSter.

Problem Aroused by the Capture of
Two Dogs.
The question Of the right Of dog-catch-
ers to take possession Of CANNES running
about the streets will be, tested In Justice
Hoyt's court today, when Theodore Broes
and A. F. Smith, two of Mayor Kiefers
"catchers," will be called upon to answer
the charge of stealing dog belonging
to D. D. Williams, 1906 Thomas street.
The dog catclers claim that Mr.. Williams
pet was found running at large IN an al
ley. Mr. Williams characterizes the cap
ture an larceny, and procured warrants
for the arrest Of Broos and Smith from
Justice Hoyt.
It is not likely that the dog catchers
will be arrested. Constable Boyd was
looking for them yesterday, but an agree
ment was fixed up at the central station
whereby the accused were to voluntarily
appear in the justice court today. The
city attorney will be asked to undertake
the defense of Brsoss and Smith.
Mr. Williams regained possession of his
dog by paying the yFedYired license Of 81
and penalty Of g. like amount.

Officials Of the principal Chicage-St.

concerning the recent runners that the
termination of the st. PauI-Chicago
agreement would result In q. passenger
rate shake-up. The Milwaukee, denies
any knowledge of conditions affecting
the present rate schedule and officials OF
the company stated that the terms OF
the agreement are known only to the
high officers Of the road. Business was
reported steady and firm with no indfca-
ton of q break.
The Burlington reported q good pas
senger business and saw no reason why
a rate war should ensue The runner
was termed without sufficient foundation
to cause anxiety.
The Third street brokers have been af-
fected by rumors of uncertain foundation
and it is thought that the recently ter
minated agreement will be followed by
a satisfactory adjusting Of rates which
will cause no furry.
