The magnificent new st. Joseph hos
pital was formerly dedicated Monday
ing to every good purpose for which it
was intended. A thousand invited
guests thronged through the Railways
and into the apartments to be occupied
soon by the sick and MANNED, Twelve
hundred invitations had been sent out
and there was a generous response on
the part of the public. The building
was brilliantly lighted by electricity,
and was beautifully decorated with
flags, bunting, Japanese lanterns and
potted plants. The sight was most
inspiring one.
The multitude of people were filled
with admiration at the completeness
and elegance of the hospital, which has
nc, superior anywhere in these respects.
1t was apparent that money had not
been spared to accomplish this end.
The most scrupulous neatness was OBJ
served from garret to basement,
The passage ways to the attic, where
the refreshments were served, became
choked, so great was the crowd that
pressed upward, and those who did not
= get in to the first table found themselves
jammed in solid mass of humanity on
the stairways. In time, all were served,
The refreshments consisted of coffee,
sandwiches, chicken salad and olives,
and the guests were waited upon by a
large contingent Of. ladies who had vol
unteered their services for the occasion.
The Concordia orchestra furnished de-
lightful music throughout the evening
in the banquetting hall.
The guests were received by recep-
tion committee composed of Rev. A

ciety. Both are neatly furnished.
Stephen Lamm has furnished one of
the rooms, the furniture being of ele-
CANT birds eye maple. From 1926 to
$3.50 has been expended in each of these
rooms.
Every room is connected up by sys-
tenn of electric call bells. By pushing
button bell below is Tung and the
number of the room registered.
In the basement are two hot water
heating plants, which can be used sep
erately or in conjunction when the
weather is very cold. There is also a
1, 800 barrel cistern in the basement.
Father Joch, of New Jersey, who is
general manager of the hospitals of the
order, authorized the building of ST..
Joseph hospital. and the plans were
prepared by New York architects. H.
G. Gerlach has superintended the con-
struction~ of the building. Joseph
Schingle & Co. are the contractors.
The Mankato Plumbing and Heat
Ing Co. has put in the plumb
ing and electric and gas fix
lures. T. r. Coughlan furnished the
cut stone. The Karr Supply Co., of
Bellville, Ill. put in the heating and
yentilating plant. The Brodesser Ele-
vator Co., of Milwaukee, furnished the
passenger elevator. Each and every
contractor deserves honorable mention.
Great credit is due to the building
committee, consisting of John Klein
president; John G. Wise, vice-president;
John B. Meagher, secretary; Leo S.
Lamm, treasurer; Father Sutor and DR.
E. j. Davis, trustees. This committee
has represented the Sisters, the city and
the subscribers.
The hospital is public in every sense
of the word, and is free from sectarian
influences. 1t is now open to the public.
Father Joch arrived yesterday and
will remain until everything is going
smoothly.

There are nineteen Sisters of the Sor-

On the battle field and where famine

DR.. J. w. Andrews. was the last

hospital" He congratulated the city
on the magnificent building. Nothing
had been left undone to make it COM
plete hospital, No hospital in any of
the larger cities visited by the speaker
is better equipped than this is, and
Bishop Cotter had remarked that he
had also found this to be the case.
The Minnesota Valley Medical Asso-
citation was unanimous in approval of
the plan of the hospital. The hospital
of today is not what it was twelve or
fifteen years ago. Now special atten-
tion is paid to ventilation and cleanli-
ness, as is the case with this building
The hospital cannot grow and flourish

citizens of Mankato. The Sisters are
noble women and do noble work.
When necessary, they are upsnight

doctor urged that everyone help the
Sisters to make the hospital successful.
He would guarantee that no patient
would come without receiving the best
attention.
Gen. Baker declared the building
dedicated for the purposes for which it
was intended, and hoped that its work
would grow brighter and more far
reaching as the ages roll'around. -

THE SCOTT CASE.

in the Brief of Mr.. Faulkner.

Extreme Weakness of 1t as Shown
in the brief of Mr.. Faulkner.
Fairmont Index.
The brief of ex-senator Faulkner in
the Scott contest case was published
in Saturdays Intelligencer. 1t is the
specious reasoning of paid attorney
fer his client, and though probably as
able and ingenious defense as can
be made in Mr.. SCOTS behalf, utterly
fails to show any claim he may have
to seat in the Senate, based upon the
untrammelled action OF legally elected
members of the West Virginia Legis-
lature. Mr.. Faulkner does not attempt
to defend the validity of the votes of
Getzendanner and Pierson, probably be-
cause as lawyer he knows they had no
more right to participate in the action
Of the joint assembly than he himself
or any other citizen of the State His
effort is along the line of attempting
to convince Senators that no matter
who were permitted to take part in the
pretended election of Mr.. Scott. or
how wrongfully either branch Of the
Legislature may have made UP its roll
of membership nevertheless the Senate
cannot inquire into these facts for the
purpose of ascertaining who had re-
eeived majority Of the votes of legal
~ elected members, buJ must accept
the result certified by the Governor,
and as Senator the man who has
gotten such certificate no matter by

CONTRACT LAB0RERS.

immigration Authorities Making
Desperate Efforts to Keep Them
Out.
BALTIMORE, December 2.-The To-
cal immigration authorities are max
ing desperate efforts to keep contract
laborers out of the country, and last
week thirty who had come here on the
steamship Munchen were returned to
Germany. On the Hanover, which
arrived on Monday, were 100 men who
have no money and who are bound for
Pennsylvania. 1t is suspected they are
contract laborers and they are detain-
ed at the immigration house at Locust
Point, pending an investigation.

what means the membership which
elected him was made up, ON the theory
that each branch of Legislature is
the sole and only judge of the legal
qualifications of it's members. His ar
gument is in effect, that it should make
no difference to the United States SEN
ate if branch of a Legislature should
arbitrarily and VIGOROUSLY constitute
quorum in a joint assembly, for the
purposes of that election, with men
who had never been voted for, or with
aliens, or other disqualified people, in
fragrant disregard Of the constitution of
the State. the Senate would neither
nullify such election nor inquire into
its regularity. In other words the ar
gument is seriously made that all that
is necessary for a minority candidate
to do to secure a seat in the Senate is
to violently seize the organization of
a branch and fill it with partisans, re-
CARELESS of their election, overthrow
the constitution of the State and all
its provisions concerning the qualifi-
cations of members, and thereby sue
ceed in organizing the joint assem-
bly,; and the United States Senate will
participate in the rest of the fraudu-
lent work OF securing to such conspir-
ator against law and the public peace
the reward CT his infamous conduct.
This conclusion seems such mon
strous travesty on representative gov
eminent that we cannot believe for
moment, and yet we acknowledge that
Mr.. Faulkner ought to know something
as to the kind of reasoning which ap-
peals most strongly to Republican Sen
ators, for by the grace of the Demo-
cratic party Of West Virginia, he was
given the opportunity through twelve
years service in that body to make
their acquaintance, and as a mark of
gratitude to his party for its partially
toward him, he has likewise been en-
abled to ask and receive a fee from
It's enemies to endeavor to point out a
way through which his State and his
party may be outraged in the consum-
nation OF this most vicious and fraud
Ilent transaction. Still we hope his ar
gument will prove abortive Not only
because of the gravity of the present
assault upon the freedom and fairness
of Senatorial elections, but because of
the train of evils the ratification of
such methods will bring to our State.
II the nefarious work Of last winter
at Charleston is made triumphant by
the action of the Senate, its EXAMPLE
will surely return to plague its per-
petrators in the near future. The Re
publieans were fortunate at the last
session in having the hold over officers
of both branches TO organize temper
arily both bodies. By threats of throw
ing out hold over Democratic Sena-
tors they bulldozed the House from its
rightfui position On contested election
cases. But conditions will not be the
same next winter. The Democrats have
the retiring officers OF the House, and
will probably be able to organize the
Senate. At all events it is not a vital
matter, for which they will likely
yield principle. to keep in their hold
over Senators. for the following ses-

NEW YORK, December 21.-The
Tribune says the conference concern
ing the future organization and the
operation of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany are said to be concluded for the
present with everything settled. While
neither Mr.. Carnegie nor Mr.. Frick
will talk about the situation, it was
learned from trustworthy source that
there is little likelihood of Mr.. Tricks
starting in to organize new company
to fight the Carnegie company. Mr..
Tricks interests, so this authority said.
are so deeply connected with the Car
negie company that for him to do any
thing to hurt that company would
work him great harm. The Carnegie
people are said to be aware of this, and
while they know that Mr.. Prick is irri-
tated and disappointed just now, they
think he will come around all right
and join with Mr.. Carnegie and others
as a consulting partner
There is plan under discussion, so
it is said, to abolish the Office of chair
man and allow the Office to die with
Mr.. Prick. Instead another Office, but

of this could be secured here, but it

Senate declares that it will not inquire
into any methods by which Senator
obtains an election. it is only in keep
ing with human nature for Democrats

the archconspirator of last winter may,

his enemies within and without his
party, select his colleague and yet lose
his own election.

HUNTINGTON, Ind, December I'll
Col. L. P. Milligan died at his home in
this city to-day. He was 81 years old,
and his name is familiar in national
history. In 1864 he was arrested on
the charge of treason and placed in a
military prison at Indianapolis. A
military commission found him guilty
and he was sentenced ia be hanged on
May 10, 1866. The gallows were erect
ed, but before the execution the sem
tence was committed to life imprison-
ment. Later the case was presented
to the Supreme Court, and James A.
Garfield made one of the arguments in
Col. Milligan's behalf, and the prisoner
was released.
