DRESSES A LETTER TO PRES
IDENT NE'k7NLEY
PROBABLY FEIGNING INSANITY
He Has Divine Assurance That He
Will BE PardOned Sept. rs
Senator Hale Also
Written TO.

There have been many men in TIE state
prison at Stillwa ter who have tried to
work the Insanity racket" bat United
States District Attorney Robert G. E,vana
has just received a letter from one of
the prisoners, Frank Stevens that is the
best ever.
The letter contains two sheets of close
ly written matter, one addressed to Will
liam Mckinley and the other to Unised
States Senator Hale, Of Maine. The first
in part reads as follows:
"One year ago was a Bryan man and
believed in Democratic principles and,
while did so believe, 1 did not hesitate
to express my opinion of the RerubI-
can party, William. believe 1 love
truth better than prosperity. If I be
lieved today as I did then 1 would not
hesitate to say so hut William, [ know
that you're not friend of trusts ct
cetera. Further on he gays, 81 know thai
God wills that this country shall expand
and be used by him as a great power
and this, ! know as truly as I know that
you, William, will cause me 10 be libar-
ated from this prison by an unconditional
pardon, Sept. IS, 1900 I know because
God has told me So"
In the letter to United States Senator
Hale he says in one of the sentences:
Please get Billy to get me out of here"
Frank Stevens was committed to the
prison in 1898 fAr robbing the postofhce
at New Ulm of 500. The authorities in
St Paul think he is trying to make them
believe he is insane and will Go nothing
until they receive information from the
prison officials that he is really non COM
pos ment!s. If such should prove to be
the case he will be examined ard sent
to the government asylum at Washing
ton.
Stevens letter was written through the
privilege allowed at the prison. The rue
is that they can writet letters one day
during every month.

ALL OVER NEXT SUNDAY.
Public Baths Will Run for Only Five
Days More.

The public baths will close next Sunday
evening for :he season. However, some Of
the attendants will remain there and linz
lied accommodations viii be provided for
the few who may desire to try the chilly
waters of the father. Harriet island will
wear a deserted air this winter, as the
health department do not think that 1t
would pay to maintain skating rink. 1t
would be necessary to line the house;
with tar paper, and make other expendi-
lures, In order to turn the bath houses
into warming shelters. During the past
summer the baths have more than made
expenses, but the surplus will be needle
to keep up the institution next spring BE-
fore the very warm weather comes on.
1t is the intention. to put up separate
building for females near the head of
Harriet and give the entire structure in
use at present over to men. AS yet the
project is all in the air, but no doubt be-
fore the c,ose of next summer it will De
a reality.
The baths will be reopened the 18th Of
next May.

GETTING DOWN TO WORK
ATTENDANCE AT CITY SCHOOLS Is
VERY LARGE THIS YEAR.

WEIR u LARGE THIS YEAR.
At all of the forty-five schools in this
city the work of registration was con-
tnued yesterday, and recitations were
few and far between.
Supt. Lewiston had not at the close of
office hours yesterday received reports
from much more than half the scho IL;
and consequently could only make rough
guess at the probable total attendance
The estimate of q, 600 made by him before
the schools opened he does not consider
at all too high, and it would not be
matter for surprise should the figures
indicate a considerably higher total
Cleveland high school reported a regis
tration Of 1,212 at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and the figures from Madison
school put the enrolment to date at LOCO
Other high totals were: Lincoln S44:
Webster, sos; Jefferson, 1893. No figures had
been received from e Their the Central high
school of the Mechanic Arts, although it
is known that the attendance is extraor-
dinarily high at both places The teach
ers were kept busy all day enrolling stu
dents and drafting time tables for reci-
tations
The heavy rain of Monday night pefle-
trated the roofs of both the Central high
school and the Lafayette school, tenn
pocarily retarding the work at both
places. 1t IS expected. however, that reel
taIlCnS Will De nefQ IN all the schools to-
day, and that the regular routine of the
fall term will commence to be carried out
smoothly.
At present the teaching staff numbers
565, but it will be increased shortly to
meet the needs of the Increased attend
ance.
When questioned yesterday as to the
IeXigencies of space in the different schools
the super ntendent replied that much
trouble would undoubtedly be experienced,
but that as yet no arrangements had
been perfected for immediate relief at the
schools where the pressure of attendance
would be heaviest. Plans were being for
mulated, however, and would be brought
to the boards attention at an early date
These plans included one ror the granting
of the request made by those interested
in the Maxfield school. The suoerintend-
ent did not feel at liberty to digulge the
recommendations he intended making to
| the board with regard to that school, hut
| he sad, something would be done toward
giving the pupils of that school a greater
number of experienced and permanent in
structors.
