Train for Mansfield,
leaving here at O'Clock. Some time
ago Secretary and Mrs. Sherman occu-
pied a pew in the Epiphany church here,
but in later years the Secretary had no
church affiliations. 1t is expected that
the Rev. Mackay-Smith, of st. John S
Episcopal church, or tie Rev. DR.. AS
pinwall, of ST. Thomas Episcopal
church, of this city, will be asked to con-
duct the funeral services. Arriving at
Mansfield on Wednesday, the remains
will lie in state in the Episcopal church
in that city until the following day,
when the interment will take place.
Mr. Sherman was well known about
the streets of Washington. He was
fond of walking, and in his later years
he drove almost every afternoon in a
large open carriage, accompanied, until
her death, by Mrs. Sherman. The tall,
straight-lined stove-pipe hat, not of the
latest design, was invariably worn by
him, and his dress was of that simpli-
city and dignity in keeping with the
character of the man.

State Treasurer Koerner has Just com
pleted the investment of half nj lion

BILE investments for the school fund and
as a result with the last investment made
as Wa! as the previous ones, il was nee

HARRIET ISLAND LOCATION.

The public baths, now in course of con-
struction, were inspected yesterday morn
ing by twenty or more members of the
Woman's Civic league, under the direc-
ton of Health Commissioner Ohage. Nat
urally, DR.. Ohage proved himself COM
petent cicerone, for it was he who evolved
this scheme of providing st. Paul with
public baths, and for this purpose he
purchased the island ON which they are
being built. The visitors yesterday found
the baths nearly completed, and they had
a chance to approve and admire the
lockers, dressing benches and various
other conveniences that are provided in
connection with the baths. The build
ings are divided with mems and wom-
ems departments, with lockers, bath
suits. etc. A very few cents will, when
the baths are completed, procure a per-
son all those cOnYeniences. There will
be restaurants also on the island. These
are nearly completed, and will furnish
food and drinks at low prices. There
will also be a public play ground for
children.
The formal opening Of the bath and
park will take place a week from Sat
urday. DR.. Ohage will then formally
present the island to the city. There will
be a band concert and programme of

NOT ABUSIVE LANGUAGE
TO CALL LIEUT.. DAVIS "CHIF-
PEE" SAYS JUDGE
ORR
HOGAN CASES DISMISSED
Two Charges Made by Police Officer
Against PrisOner Dismissed in
Police Court-The Prisoner
Charges Persecution.

Lieut.. Joe Davis was wOrsted in the
fight with-J. E. Hogan in the police court
yesterday. Judge Orr discharged Hogan,
maintaining that it was not abusive Ian
guage to address Lieut.. Davis as Chip
pie" Davis.
The arrest Of Hogan, it Is alleged, grew
out of the election. Hogan. wearing d
Robert A Smith button, met Davis at
dance shortly before election day and dis
played his Robert A. Smith button, 50 it
was related on the witness stand yes
terday, when he claims Lieut. Davis ex-
pressed his contempt for the Democratic
candidate and insulted Mr.. Hogan By
threatening to spit on the button. Hogan
defed Lieut.. Davis to desecrate the but
ton while he wore it, and the men have
been at swords points ever since.
Last Friday evening Hogan. who works
at the Palm Garden theater, had some
difficulty with a patron Of The place.
Lieut.. Davis did not interfere with this
row, but some time later, when Hogan
had quit work and was on Wabasha
street, pounced upon him and locked him
up on the charge Of drunkenness and US
ing abusive language. Lieut.. Davis
claimed Hogan either addressed him or
spoke of him as "Chippie" Davis, this
constituting the abusive language charge.
Hogan testified yesterday that Lieut..
Davis had prosecuted him years ago
when he was in the saloon business here,
and claimed Davis went to the proprietor
of the Palm Garden when he found Ho-
gan was working there and tried to get
him discharged This Lieut.. Davis de
MED. Other witnesses testified that HO-
gan was not drunk.
Judge Orr held that there was no evil
dence to substantiate either charge
against Hogan and discharged him.

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS
OPENS
MANY DELEGATES PRESENT
Convention Listens to Address by
Rev. DIR. MeIdrum and General
Secretary Lawrence-PrO-
gramme for To-day.

over $50 delegates from various parts Of
the state arrived in St. Paul yesterday to
attend the forty second annual convention
of the Minnesota Sunday School associa-
ton, which opened last evening at the
Central Presbyterian church. An infor-
NAL reception was held yesterday after
noon for the purpose of giving the visit
ing delegates an opportunity of becoming
acquainted with one another and with
their entertainers Dr. Meldrum, of the
Central Presbyterian church; c. D. Bent
ley, Ralph Powell and Mrs. e. R. Ide
acted as a reception committee.
The church auditorium was filed last
night when the convention was formally
opened by c. J. Hunt, who conducted a
short praise service. The rostrum was
decorated with flags and great punches Of
flowers arranged in jardinieres.
Dr.. Meldrum welcomed the delegates on
behalf of the churches, stating that he
hoped they would enjoy their visit to St.
Paul as much as the people of this city
would enjoy it.
D. r. Noyes, who was to have spoken on
behalf of the citizens, was called to st.
Louis last evening on private business.
Mr.. NOyeS sent a letter to the conVen-
tion in which he said that the work in
which the delegates were employed, and
the workers themselves, merited St
Paul's heartiest and warmest conamenda-
ton
Gov. Lind was also unable TO be present,
but sent word that he would address the
meeting this evening.
The address of the evening was deliver
ed by Marion Lawrence, general secretary
of international work. Mr.. Lawrence $
subject was The Sunday School Teacher
as a Soul Winner"
Il believe said the speaker, that the
teacher is the highest officer in the Sun
day school, so far as influence is concern
ed, ranking above, the superintendent" ."
Mr.. Lawrence gave as the four most i'm
portant qualifications of the Sunday
school teacher, regularity of attendance,
punctuality, cheerfulness and tact. He
advocated practical religion, claiming that
there was more religion in a handshalle
than in the distribution of any number
of tracts. In conclusion, the speaker
stated that character was the important
thing; unless the teachtr possessed sin
cerity and sympathy it was impossible
for him or her to make any impression
on the pupils.
Beginning at 8 o'clock this morning
there will be d conference of county Off
GERS, led by j. X Fancher There Will
also be a conference in the auditorium on
General Sunday School Management, ="
led by Marion Lawrence.
The women of the Central Presbyterian
church will serve luncheon in the Sun
day school room for the delegates.
