Former Member of Company T.,
Thirteenth Minnesota
Very touching and very heartfelt was
the memorial service held last evening at
the Dayton Avenue Presbyterian church
in memory of Sergeant Merwin M. Carle-
ton, of Company E, Thirteenth Mime
sofa, who was killed accidentally at Ma
Mia on Dec. Is. The auditorium of the
church was filled with those who had
known the dead soldier and the chancel
rail was appropriately draped with the
national colors.
I'VE are met tonight to honor the mem
ory of a soldier and patriot" said Rev.
M. d. Edwards, pastor of the church.
1T is sad thing for a young man to be
cut off in the prime of his youth and
vigor, and it is fitting that we should pay
tribute to the memory of Merwin M.
Carleton. We ought all to honor those
who have fallen for their country, and he
gave his life for his country as truly as
if he had fallen in battle He was a.
member of this church and of the Chris
tian Endeavor society and was always
an earnest and faithful worker for the
cause of Christ
DR.. Jeanette NJ. McLaren, on behalf OF
the Society of Christian Endeavor, read
copy Of resolutions adopted by the So
cfety which told Of the purity in life and
honesty in purpose of it's departed mem
Der.
E. c. Stringer read extracts from a.
number of letters received from the Of
ficers and comrades of Sergeant Carleton
One contained a touching account of the
funeral at Manila and told how the men,
bers Of the regiment stood with barred
heads at the grave, while the band play
ed Nearer My God, to Thee" and the
bugler sounded taps"
All the letters highly extolled the dead
soldier and 1t was apparent that his loss
was deeply felt, because, as one COM
rade wrote, everyone liked him.
To the letters Mr.. Stringer added few
words expressive of the magnificent quail
tiles of manliness exhibited by Sergeant
Carleton
Sergeant Merwin NJ Carleton was
born at River Falls. Wis, on Sept II,
1879, and was not yet nineteen years old
at the time of his DEATH said Dr. Ed
wards. "A number of years ago, while
quite young, he removed with his family
to st. Paul. He was early obliged to
leave school and seek employment To
this call of duty, as to every other, he
yielded prompt and ready obedience
His capacity and faithfulness, his ster-
ling integrity and winsomeness gained
for him speedily the good will and conf
dence of both his employers and his as
sociates After joining the state militia
ne became proficient in military exer-
cises and soon won promotion from the
ranks.
when the war broke out and a call
was made upon Minnesota his decision
and response were quickly made. He
felt that his duty to the state. the ma
tion and the regiment required him to
follow the flag. He was made second
sergeant of Company E, Thirteenth Min

Manila. There he endured the hardships

GROWING MUSICAL EVENT
CONCERT IN THE LIBRARY SERIES
HAS SOME SPECIAL FEAT
UEES OF INTEREST
The Fact That the Schubert Club In
Going to Support FfrangcOn Davis
Furnishes Grounds for the Local
Enthusiasm.

The concert to be given tonight in the
Peoples church, being the sixth concert
In the Library-Schubert club series, will
be one of unusual interest. Many enter
tainments of merit have been given in
this perfectly acoustic auditorium, but 1t
is doubtful if any one more excellent than
that to be given this evening has ever
taken place there. This will undoubtedly
be the crowning musical event for num-
Der of years past in st. Pauls musical
history.
From the advance sale. the audience
will be in numbers the largest in this
most successful course. as well in point
of culture and refinement. The enthusi-
asm to attend this concert seems to be in
the air, and the most sluggish seem to
be fired.
The finished perfection to which the
large Schubert club chorus and orchestra
have been brought will be matter of de-
light and pride and also wonder to those
not used daily to the high achievement to
which so large a number can be brought.
This club chorus and orchestra are prob
ably the superior of any like organization
of equal number throughout the entire
Northwest, there being a fire and spirit
accent and phrasing, yet wtthal unity
in the ensemble work that is worthy OF
a much older organization The chorus
will have a final rehearsal with Ffrangcon
Davies at noon-he arriving In the fore
noon.
Much credit for the perfection of the
chorus and orchestra must be given to
the able and untiring efforts of their di
rector Mr.. Emil Ober-Hoffer.
While there are still a number of very
choice seats remaining that can be re-
served up to 5 o'clock this evening at
Howard. Farwell & Co.'S. indications are
that the standing room sign will be in ev-
idence before the performance opens.

do leases issued by landlords their
agents to tenants require revenue stamps
to make them valid?" Deputy Collector of
Revenue Vars was asked yesterday.
'"They certainly do," Mr.. Vars replied.
Mr.. Vars holds that all leases that are
unstamped are not contracts In the eyes
of the law, and cannot be used as evil
dence in court. 1t is said that good
many landlords have overlooked this lit
tie formality In framing their more or
less ironclad leases.
1.-The law requires that all leases be
stamped" continued Mr.. Vars yesterday.
'.Those for periods not exceeding one
year must have a 25-cent revenue stamp;
exceeding one year and up to three years,
so cents, and exceeding three years, 81.
Furthermore, leases that are made in du-
plicate, where the tenant holds one and
the landlord the other, If both are signed
by the parties, come under the head Of
duplicate contracts, and both must bear
a government stamp
LAW IN THE CASE.
The sections of the law covering
leases are 49, ia, lis and 116, and are as
follows:
Where leases are executed In dupli-
cate, SO that both are originals, both are
required to be STAMPED: but If there be
but one original. COPIES thereof are not
required to be stamped
''This office holds that where receipt
is given for money received as rent for
certain premises and for a certain term,
and there are no other recitals In the re-
ceipt, It does not require a stamp. If
the receipt contains any phrase or clause
that can be construed as a contract for
the hire, use, or rent as aforesaid, i'll such
cases the receipt becomes something more
than bare receipt and should be
stamped according to it's tenor and effect.
A mere reference in a rent receipt to an

Leases which are assigned are taxable
on the basis of the term assigned.
Landlord and tenant agreements let
ting property by the month are taxable
at the rate of Is cents as leases for a
less period than one year; If the tenancy
continues for a longer period than one
year there is no additional tax imposed
on the instrument.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
But the responsibility of determining
who shall affix the stamp is evaded under
the following decision:
''In regard to who shall pay for

so doing, and the inference Is drawn that

The following extract is from a pri-
waite letter received by a naval officer
in Washington from a friend in Manila.
1t relates to Assistant Engineer Emory
Winship of the gunboat Bennington
Mr.. Winship is from Georgia and was
graduated from the Naval Academy in
July, 1896.
"Winship did fine thing" says the
writer. "a landing party of about 1875,
from the Bennington, went ashore on
Malabon in several boats, and a launch
remained, with Winship and two men
as boatkeepers and to watch steam.
The landing party advanced foolishly
without scouts and precautions. and
were suddenly set upon by regiment
of Filipinos. They fled for the beach
to the boats, pursued by the natives,
and were hard pressed. Seeing this,
Winship unlimbered the revolving
cannon in the bow of the launch and
turned it loose upon the pursuers. He
kept up a deadly fire, and thirty Fill
pinos were killed or disabled He
stood off the whole gang, enabling our
party to get to their boats safely. He
then fell having received five bullets.
Tausig says that but for Winship none
of the party would have escaped"
Tausig is the commander of the Ben
nington.

This rooster was never whipped. 1t
fought at Camp Merritt, San Francisco;
it fought at Camp Otis, Honolulu. and
1t fought at Camp Santa Mess.

at San Francisco they managed by a
little scheming, to take the mascot
with them.
At Camp Otis there was victory ar

known as the victor in every battle.
but the career of the noble bird ended
Tuesday night, Jan. "a, 1899 The
cause of Dewey's death is supposed to
have been very high fever.
The funeral took place the following
day Immediately after guard mount.
The band led the procession, playing a
funeral march, and following the corpse
was an escort with side arms; a long
column of twos followed. A little east
of the camp the remains were inferred
and taps sounded.
The honor done the rooster was be-

it was named-the Dewey of Manila

Prof. Arthur Codezo Vinageras. of the
Havana Academy of Sciences, has COM
piled the vital statistics of the late war
of Cuba with Spain. He does not claim
that it is absolutely accurate, but that
1t is approximately so.
He estimates the mean population of
the island in the years 1S95-1S9S as
l ,546, 900, of which 532 900 were colored.
OF this number 40 per cent. of whites
and " per cent. of negroes were litter
ate. The percentage of male to female
was "a to as.
He estimates the number of the Span
ish army sent to Cuba during this pc
riod as 234000, and the number of Gu
bans fitted to take arms as 1862 900. Of
this number he finds that 1000 actual
ly rose in arms. while 1862 900 remained
irresolute. The remainder, almost 30
000 went into exile. The number of
armed Cubans killed during the war
was 10000 whites and $500 negroes of
unarmed fighting men IL 400 whites and
10000 negroes.
Weyler's order of RECOMMENDATION
was responsible, Professor Vinageras
estimates, for the death by starvation
and disease of $4,000 persons, men,
women, and children. OF this number
100000 were whites. The total loss Of
Cuban life by the revolution was 418,-
300. The Cubans in arms at the end of
the revolution he estimates at 49, 900.
The total loss of the Spaniards was
22O0O in battle and 100000 by disease.
