AT THE ARMORY.
Wheel of Fortune Adds to Amuse-
ment at Catholic Fair


ment at Catholic Fair
The wheel Of fortune sometimes makes
amusing mistakes. So it happened last
night at the German Catholic church fair,
Which is in progress at the armory, that
James Reilly, a bachelor of ffty-fouf
years and somewhat Of a woman later
won two patent curling irons and q
canary bird in a brass cage. But he had
slight advantage over Mrs. O'DonneIly,
an old resident of the city, who garnered
in shaving mug and g. fine new razor. A
young lady employed in the court house,
on the contrary, spent almost all her
money in hopes Of winning song bird,
and came off with a china mug and a
fancy pincushion.
An enormous crowd patronized the DIFF
ferent booths at which fancy work and
novelties were for sale during the course
of the evening. Three wheels of fortune
ran competition and sustained the excite
ment at high pitch. During the even
ing, an orchestra stationed at one end of
the building furnished fine musical pro-
gramme, and Miss Tracy Miller gave sew
eral selections, displaying a fine eontralto
voice to advantage. Miss erode also gave
a vocal number.
A voting contest was started last night

When the stage door was reached,
where a joyous delegation of chorus girls,
pr1ma donna and comic opera principals
welcome, We're assembled, 1.-THE Star Of
the Orient took most uncaled for and
unexpected stand. He got his back up, as

suggested that the water, for which the
Shriners had no use, be brought to sue

the camel's nose and a volunteer line Of
water carriers, such as can be seen at q
country conhagration, was established to
pass the buckets. Fast and furious

there he stuck.

odor of wienerwursts and beer. And
that's why didn't appear on Comeback

CHILD LABOR LAW.
Labor Commissioners McHaIe Says
Employers Are Friendly to 1t.

There are more children in the schools,
and fewer in our shops, factories and de-
partment stores at present than for q
number Of years" said Labor Commits
sioner McHale yesterday. But COM
parattvely few permits have been issued
to children under sixteen, anu a great
many have left their positions and re-
turned to school. 1t is a very commend
able circumstance that several of our
largest Twin City establishments have
practically abandoned child labor, that is
they have refused to employ children
under sixteen years of age. Our child
labor law permits the employment of
children between the ages of fourteen and
sixteen under certain conditions. First,
a, certificate must be Issued by the school
authorities, upon a good excuse being
presented, and the law specifies what
shall constitute a valid excuse. Either 1t
must be shown that the parents are I'M
able, by reason of poverty, to properly
clothe the child, or that instruction
equivalent to that given in the schools
Is given at home. A very good amend
ment was made in the law last winter
requiring children to attend school for
the full school year unless a proper eX-
cuse was given and & certificate issued
by the school authorities. Previously the
law recognized three months attendance
at school as emitting child to GER
tificate. The department is very vigor-
ously enforcing the law. 1t is Illegal to
employ children under fourteen and /
can say with assurance that none are
employed.
With our free schools on every side,
the child labor law works hand and hand
with the educational authorities " a
boy or girl of lowly parentage can 50 -
school up to the time he or she is six
teen, 1t constitutes a pretty good founda-
ton for business career. Indeed sta
tfsttcs show that q very small proper
ton, less than 10 per cent, ever enter the
high school and it is dull boy who does
not finish the grammar school by the
time he is sixteen years old.
Compared with a year ago, think,
there is a decrease In child labor in this
state amounting to fully % per cent.
Fewer excuses are being issued and en-
ployers are in many Instances oischarg-
Ing children coming within the provisions
of the law rather than he bothered with
the required monthly report which is
made this department.
I'VE know every thirty days just how
many children are employed in every de-
partment store and factory, and as fast
as the certificates expire new ones are

IN SECRET CONCLAvB.
Fire Board Has an Executive Session
to Discuss Scandals.

The items to be incorporated in the tax
budget for the maintenance Of the fire
department for the coming year were
subjects of discussion at a meeting Of the
fire board last evening, but for some rea-
son the board considered these matters
behind closed doors, declining to allow the
representatives of the press to be pres
ent. In requesting the reporters to leave
the room President Clark said that the
matters to be considered were Of conse-
quence only to the board and Of such
nature that the commissioners preferred
to discuss them in secrecy.
Previous to the executive session the
routine business incident to the bi-week-
" meetings. was conducted. Chief Cook,
in his report, recommended the disciplin-
ing Of several members Of the department,
but the report was said to have been put
away in a, desk when a reporter for the
G b e asked to see it, so the alleged
offenders. against Chief Cooks rules could
not be learned. The reduction of one
member of the department was recon-
mended, while the chief, in another case,
recommended that a fine be imposed.

The joint special committee on market
sites held a session yesterday afternoon
and the five members present agreed on
q report recommending the selection Of
the block bounded by Eagle, Franklin,
Chestnut and Exchange streets.
= The committee considered only three
sites, the one chosen, the Constans site
and the one suggested by George Benz
on West Third street. s<ta
City Engineer Claussen submitted q
report and estimate as to the plan pro-
posed by George Benz. It showed that
by building retaining wall and plat
form over the blutf on West Third
street. between Franklin ana Exchange
streets, market place to accommodate
from 116 to III teams could be secured
The cost would be from $25, 900 to $50, 900,
depending on the distance the retaining
wall was put back from Third street.
The assessed valuation of the property
was given as $49,770, and this, with the
cost OF the retaining wall and other i'm
provements, would make the estimated
cost $50, 900 in round figures.
Three ballots were taken by the COM
mittee before the Eagle street site was
agreed upon. The first ballot resulted
In two votes for the Benz site and one
each for the Constans, Eagle street and
the block bounded by Ninth, Minnesota,
Robert and Tenth streets. The second
ballot was four votes for the Eagle
street site and one for the block south
of the high school. The third ballot was
the same, and when 1t was announced
Aid. Reeves moved to make the selec-
ton of the Eagle street site unanimous,
which was agreed to.
The Eagle street site is bounded by
Franklin, Exchange, Chestnut and Eagle
streets. 1t contains 126,OO0 square feet
and the assessed valuation Is given as
$4O,O6O. After the council has adopted
the report Of the committee condemna-
ton proceedings under the recent act Of
the legislature will be commenced. The
assembly will without doubt adopt the
report Of the committee, but there is
some question If the necessary three
fourths vote can be secured in the board
of aldermen.

HOWELLs ON THE NOVEL.
Literary Treat In Store for the Peo-
pie of st Paul.


Literary people are anxious to hear
William Dean Howells' lecture next Mon
day evening. at the Peoples church. on
The Novel and Novel Writing" Nearly
twenty years ago Mr.. Thomas Sargent
Perry wrote Of Mr.. Howells, HE has
made over the American novel, taught 1t
gracefulness and ,compactness, and has
given 1t place In literature along with
the best Of modern work.
This was far from the first word of
praise and appreciation evoked by Mr..
Howells, who, as the editor of leading
literary magazine, as poet and as novelist,
hal already firmly established himself in
the ranks Of the writer's Of today. And
since his name first became known 1t has
grown constantly more familiar and more
loved, until today 1t is regarded as that
of the most typically American Of Ameri-
can writer's; one without rival in his
particular field Of work. Mr.. Howells is
not only one of the most prolific OF all
American imaginative writer's Of the first
rank, but within the last ten years or
SO he has come to be regarded as one
of the foremost authorities in the criti-
cism of current poetry and romance.
