The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-22

Mayor Kiefer's face actually beamed
yesterday afternoon when he faced the
large gathering of women in the CONNER
cial club parlors. They turned out enthu-
siastically in response to the call he had
issued, and their presence testified strong
ly to their patriotism and to the certain
success of the plan that has been started
by ST. Paul's public spirited citizens to
bring home the boys of the Thirteenth
regiment with no cost to themselves. Re-
sOlute determination was written on
little the earlier start in selling the
badges which so eloquently testify to ev-
cry one that at least one boy in blue is
one hundred miles nearer home, they will
have to do some good work If they desire
to outstrip the women in the results. A
large number, indeed, the majority of the
women present yesterday, have relatives
or friends in the regiment, and, of course,
to these the work IS more than an out
burst Of patriotism or the desire for any
material gain. But it is safe to say, what
ever the motive may be which prompts
It, that all classes will work together with
might and main to accomplish the desired
object.
Mayor Kiefer presided at yesterdays
meeting. In a brief speech he explained
to the women the purpose for which the
meeting had been called. ".rhe MEN have
started the scheme" he said, "but it can
not be carried through successfully with
out the aid Of the women. If the scheme
falls, 1 fear the charge Of such failure
Will be laid at your door. If all COOP
crate, however, there need be no thought
or failure, for there is no doubt that we
we will get all the money we need"
Mayor Kiefer introduced Col. HamIin
of the Commercial club, who briefly
sketched the movement to bring the Thir-
teenth regiment home, from the time Of
its inception down to the adoption of the
badges, with their effective statement.
St Cloud, Saltwater and Red Wing, he
stated, were working with st. Paul The
st. Cloud people had already disposed of
400 badges and were begging for more
Col Hamlin said that from business
standpoint alone the scheme merited sue
cess, to say nothing of the sentimental
side of it. 1.-THE last thing that happens"
said the speaker, when soldier is mus
tered out. is the receiving of his pay.
Each member Of the Thirteenth has over
two months back pay coming to him, be-
sides travel allowance. This means that
over $4,000 will be paid to those men al
together. Now, If there is train ready
for the boys and they are told after they
are mustered out that they have simply
to step on train and will receive free
ride home, it will mean that in return for
an outlay of something like $4,000, $50, 600
will be brought into ST. Paul"
Col Hamlin stated that meeting of
100 men was held at the Commercial
club yesterday morning and these men
