G. A. Freudenreich Dead.

In this mornings mail a few of st.
Clouds prominent citizens received a
large envelope with a deep black bor-
der, indicating an announcement Of
death, and upon opening the letter it
was found to be the sad news of the
passing away of Mr.. George Adolph
de Frendenreich, a resident of this
city some years ago and we'll remem-
bered by many of the pioneers. The
announcement bears date of Berne,
Switzerland, November. 1899, and liter
ally translated is as follows:
'Mrs. George Adolphe de Freuden-
reich, Mrs. AdOlphe Gautier and her
children, Mrs. Eugene de Freudenreich
and her daughters, Mrs. Edouard de
Freudenreich- Grivel and her daugh-
tiers, have the honor to let you know of
the great loss they have sustained in
the death of Mr.. George Adolphe de
Freudenreich, former Swiss consul to
Odessa, their husband, brother, BROTH
er-in-law and uncle. Died at Lugano,
Switzerland, the 10th day of Novem-
Der, in the Goth year of his age.
''Berne, November, $780,"
The deceased left st. Cloud in 1879
for Odessa, Russia, where he was. sent
as the general agent for the McCOr-
mick Harvesting Machine company.
He was very successful in his newfield /.
He visited the United States quite
frequently and on two trips to Ameri-
ca visited St. Cloud, coming here in
1884 and again in 1894. He was hon
ored by the Swiss government, by the
appointment as Swiss consul to Russia
and it is said that few men had a wider
acquaintance or knowledge of that
great country than did Mr.. Freuden-
reich. The numerous old time friends
of the deceased will regret to learn of
his death. He was a Swiss by birth,
the polished gentleman, a shrewd
business man and a student.-St.
Cloud Journal Press.
Mr.. Freudenreich was at one time a
resident of Sank Centre, and married
a daughter of the late P. S. Hickman,
from whom he was divorced on the
ground of desertion-felt to be frivo-
lous pretext. He had many acqua;nt-
ances in this city among the older resi-
dents.

To Make "Modiaed MIX

1t was learned yesterday that steps have
been taken TO establish a laboratory in this
city for the manufacture of modified milk
for the use of children and invalids. SINH
lar institutions, some of them under munich
pal control have been established in other
prominent cities of the country and have
proved TO be the means of saving the lives
of an immense number Of infants. The plan
has the support of both the city and state
health departments, where the study OF
vital statistics among infants shows that
an alarming loss of life is due to the use
of ordinary milk, either fresh or condensed,
which, after the infants death, proves to
have been either too strong or too weak.
1t is proposed to furnish the product of the
institution to all consumers at a slightly in
creased rate over the cost of ordinary milk.
The advantage will be in knowing just
what proportion of fats. water and other in
gradients are in the milk and in this man
ner, when physician attends an Invalid
or infant and decides just what kind of
milk is necessary to meet the wants of the
patient his prescription can be taken to the
laboratory and the exact kind of milk will
be forthcoming, thoroughly sterilized and
sanitary.

BUTLER TO GET $4,000
GIFT OF j. I. IRWIN, OF COLUMBUS,
TO THE BIBLE DEPARTMENT.
Conditioned on $4,000 Additional BE-
ing Rafsed-Other Sums
Subscribed.

The board of trustees of Butler Bible
College held meeting yesterday afternoon
at the Denison Hotel. at which an impor-
tant subscription was received of $1,000
from Joseph /. Irwin of Columbus. Ind, on
condition that $4,000 additional be secured.
The trustees are not quite willing TO set
forth the names of the other donors whom
II is thought will contribute the rest of the
amount, but they confidently assert that
the full sum will be subscribed in less than
year. They expect TO employ at once an
agent to secure the remainder of the
amount
This money from Mr.. Irwin, together with
the subscriptions which cannot be an
nounced at present. is that which it was
understood would be given to Butler Col
lege under the permitting conditions of the
act recently passed by the Legislature, but
the authorities of the University of Indian
apolis and of Butler College used their in
fluence with Mr.. Irwin to give the money
to the Bible department, in order that the
college itself might be left free to pursue a
norsectarian policy. The enabling act of
the Legislature, therefore, recently passed
will be unused by Butler College and it's
course I'm connection with the University
OF Indianapolis will be one of broad un-
UNCONVENTIONAL education, as heretofore.
The Bible department will continue as it has
been since its beginning, two years ago.
with a separate board of trustees. with no
connection with Butler College or with the
University of indianapolis; and yet the
trustees are sanguine that il will be the
center of ministerial education in the de-
nomination known as Disciples of Christ
IL will sustain the same relation that
Princeton Theological Seminary does to
Princeton University, that is no organic
relation at all, but one OF thorough SYM
pathy and cooperation.
The president of the University OF Indian
apois declares that long step forward
has been taken toward making the combl-
nation of church interest with a university
policy of the most liberal undenomina tional
education. He is confident that gifts Will
partments and the graduate schools of a
very substantial character, as soon as the
public is convinced Of the broad policy TO
be pursued by the institution.

THE SPEAKERS EXPLANATION.
1t Was Filed with the Vote on street,
Car Bill.

An examination of the journal of the
House yesterday showed that Speaker Lit
Teton had written out an explanation of
his vote on the indianapolis street-car bill
and that 1t was made part of the record.
Mr.. Littleton voted for the bill. but did
not publicly say anything about an ex-
PLANTATION of his vote. 1t was written out
and handed TO the clerk and the record is as
follows:
In explanation of his vote the speaker
filed the following and asked that it be
spread of record:
The questions involved in this bill are
very large and their correct solution, to
great extent can only be determined by
actual experiment in operating street rail
way In the city of Indianapolis. While
vote for this bill / am not thoroughly con-
vinced that its provisions are correct. L be-
l1eye that the people of indianapolis should
have the best possible Street-car service,
at low cost and l also believe that the
its investment TO be able TO pay its en-
pioyes fair wages. keep up its plant, and
realize reasonable net profit. L believe
that the bill contains sufficient grant OF
power 10 enable the city nf Indianapolis TO
secure contract that will be in a sort
of middle ground, and be equally adj
Vantageous TO company, employe and
patron. The contract must, of course, be
made by the City Council, and / believe
the bill will not only give the City Council
sufficient range to secure a contract that
Will meet with general approval, but that 1T
also has such limitations that will prevent
the city from doing anything that will meet
with great disapprOvdl. In al this, now
ever, / may be mist ken, but as / am at
present advised. after discussion with the
representatives of the company, patrons and
employees, L believe that the bill will enable
a bad situation now existing TO be speedily,
and L hope, satisfactorily solved

THE ICE MEN.
Deny that They Met to Combine on
Prices.

Men from Indiana, illinois, Ohio and West
Virginia who not only cut but make ice.
gathered at the Grand Hotel yesterday. The
occasion was the annual meeting of the
Indiana Ice Manufacturers Association
and the Northern Ice Manufacturers Asso-
citation. The members of each association
attended the meeting OF the other and par
ticipated in the discussions The ice men
declared that all suspicion that they had
met to set prices or form combines might
be set at rest, for no such action con-
templated. The Indiana association elected
the following officers:
President-J. NJ. Leach, Kokomo.
Vice PRESIDENT. III. Frank, Alexandria
Secretary and Treasurer-F. o. Eward,
Marion.
There was much general discussion of
topics interesting 10 ice makers. In con-
nection with paper by j. II. Frank, of
Alexandria, on the natural ice crop IL was
said that icemen had cut out the Deem
Der ice crop, which was from ten TO twelve
inches thick, and when the February crop,
eighteen TO twenty inches thick, was ready
to be harvested many of them had little
room in their houses. 1t was said that the
great February harvest was not such
boon to humanity as might be ina gined be-
cause of the superior quality and greater
demand for artificial ice.
In the afternoon the Northern Ice Manu-
facturers' Association elected officers as fol-
lows:
President-Lorenzo D. Hagerty. Column

Secretary and Treasurer-John II. Frank,
Alexandria, Ind.
Vice Presidents-A. 3. Leach. Wellington,

Marion, Ind, and A. A. Hanley, Hunting
ton, w. Va.
There was a lively discussion on the sub
ject whether or not cold storage could be
made profitable In connection with an Ice
plant. A paper on the subject was read by
II. Voges of Springfield, .. One member
said he had lost $500 in the experiment,
and others sided with him in that it was

manufacture and cold storage the scheme
would work profitably.

A SUPERVISING ARCHITECT.


The trustees of the Eastern Hospital for
the Insane met yesterday afternoon with
Governor Mount in response to a request
for such meeting from that officer. 1t
was desired that there should be a full dis
cussion of the plans for the improvements
TO be made at the institution, in accordance
with the appropriations of the last Degis-
lature. These appropriations were larger
for several institutions than those which
have been made in recent years, and Gov
ernor Mount desires 10 surround the ex-
penditure of this money with every safe
guard. He suggested TO the trustees that
there be employed a supervising architect
who should exercise a general supervision
over all Improvements TO be made at all the
state institutions and the suggestion met
a hearty response. The idea Of the Gov
ernor is, not that this architect should sup
plant the local architect or the architect
whose designs may be accepted, but that he
should be more in the nature of an expert
adviser to the attorney general and other
officers who may let the contracts. His
specific. 1t is believed that with some such
Official familiar with all details of such
work. there will be less demand for extra
allowances and that more perfect and salts
factory contracts can be drawn up at once.
The trustees favored the idea and said they
were willing TO cooperate in any plan that
may be agreed upon. The trustees of the
other institutions will meet with the Gov
ernor on Friday and Saturday.
1t is Governor Mounts idea that this
supervising architect shall be selected by
the finance committee and the attorney gen.
eral, although the details Of the plan have
not been worked out. The new law to pay
the trustees of the state institutions an
nual salaries of $500 each does not meet the
approval of this board. The members of the
board say that under the former law IL was
possible for the Governor to select the man
he desired for these places, but now he will
be overrun by applications because of the
salary connected with the place. The new
law will also have the effect of losing to the
trustees Of the Eastern Hospital a valuable
member in W. ID. Paige. of Fort Wayne.
Mr.. Paige is postmaster and il is question
whether or not he can hold both offices,
when there is q salary 10 each.
