about thirty are known to have reached

MUSIC AND THE STAGE.
sCUBERT CLUB.

st. Paul has every reason to be proud
of two young women, who have achieved
the eminence and honor of giving and be-
ing heard in entire recitals and under
suspicious patronage. The programme
was given at Mozart hall by Refine Hum
bird. violinist, and May Fairfield Strong
yesterday afternoon and served to draw
out Schubert members and friends in
large numbers. After each number flow
ers in profusion were handed to the ar
lists. but contrary to the usual concert
no encores were given.
Miss Strong opened the programme with
Schumanns "Faschingschwank, and
gave It an intelligent and musicianly
reading. Miss Strong has a reposeful and
winning stage manner, and her artistic
work was received with high appreciation
by the audience.
Her next numbers were two preludes
and the familiar A fat ballade by Cho-
pin. Both numbers and the closing Tar
antele," by List. were played with much
taste and finish and applauded with en-
thusiasm. s~
Miss Refine Humbird proved herself a
thorough artist in every way, pure in
tonation, clear harmonies, admirable
surety and elegance of style characterized
her work.
The Grieg sonata was played with
earnest concentration and fine musical
instinct. Miss Humbird has broad tone,
and her bowling IS excellent. Concerto

fined and fluent rendition. Her technique

SHOULD BE suPPREssEn

The general public had been disposed to
regard the SIMPSONS hley Incident as
closed. But its inclination has not been
sustained by the facts. Admiral Samp-
son, while apparently very sensible and
capable man in other directions, appears
to be little short Of daft on the subject
of Schley's promotion, and the determine
ton of the American public to give that
officer the full benefit of the honor of
having been the chief character In the
famous naval battle of Santiago.
Whether Sampson is free agent in the
transaction may be doubted He may
We'll be a mere puppet in the hands of
the naval ring. Anyway he has emerged
from his retirement in the Boston navy
yard to repeat the infamous SANDERS
which were coined to compass the ruin
Of the Baltimore sailor.
1t is generally known that the COM
mander of the Maria Teresa has sus-
tanned the claims put forward by Admiral
Schley in explanation OF his action In
making a loop movement when the Maria
Teresa approached him. Sampson and
the naval gang united in representing
that maneuver as evidence of Schley's
cow6rdice. 1t was not enough that the
endeavor should be made to prove that
Schley had failed or refused to carry out
the directions Of his superior officer be-
fore the hattie R1lt this Fol
lowed up by the charge of cowardice,
made expressly by Sampson himself.
This charge was supposed to be settled
by congressional action. But it evidently
was not. in the opinion of the naval pet
of the administration. Nor does he re-
gard 1t as settled by the declaration Of
the commander of the Spanish vessel. who
would doubtless be quite ready to estab-
fish. if he could do so with honor. the
charge of cowardice against an enemy
which did such awful havoc on his coun-
try's fleet. The Maria Teresa's com
mander declares that he started to ram
Schleys ship, and that Schley maneuver-
ed so that it became impossible to do
So Regarding this Sampson says: The
statement is incorrect The Maria
Teresa was thousands of yards distant
at the time"
Who is the best judge of what was
necessary or unnecessary, Admiral Samp-
son, at the rear of the fleet, or Schley, at
its head, or the commander of the Spanish
vessel from which Sampson pretends the
Brooklyns commander fed?
The course pursued by Admiral
Sampson is not only foolish. 1t
is Infamous. He d. should be sup
pressed. Were he not special ia
vorite of the politicians of the administra-
ton, he would long since have been
silenced. If there be no other considera-
ton which might lead his superiors to
shutting his mouth. 1t may be effective

consequences to the fortunes Of the ad-

YOU CAN HELP THE CENSUS.
Supervisor Vanish Makes "a VaIua-

Supervisor Vanish Makes "a VaIua-
bic Suggestion to Citizens.
ST. Paul. as we'll as Minneapolis, can
give employment to census enumerators
This was the statement made yesterday
at the Office OF Supervisor Vanish Pho
neer Press building. So far none have
been decisively named, but the applica-
lions are not yet up to the required num-
Der and some will necessarily have to be
rejected There are 156 enumerators
to be named by Mr. Vanish. OF these
90 will be in st. Paul.
There is an impression existing that
an application to become a census emu
merator binds the applicant to work for
the government. This is erroneous I'm
til the man is commissioned he is stin
at liberty to choose some other employ
ment. The commissions will be made
out between March rs and April 1. 1t Is
expected that the work will be completed
by June l.
OF the ninety-one test schedules sent
out three have been returned. Five days
are allowed In which to make returns Of
these schedules. To enumerators in
sparsely settled territory a per diem sal
airy will be paid, ranging from So TO S6.
When the work actually begins, the force
at census headquarters in the city will
be considerably augmented. Aside from
those employed In the rooms there will
be extra or special men to go over the
routes of enumerators, correct up their
work. help them out and pick up loose
ends of the business. Each enumerator
will be expected to make a daily report
by postal card of his work. At it's
conclusion he will make a report on
blanks for that purpose. These reports
are shipped direct to the bureau at
Washington. D. c.. where an immense
force of clerks will do the tabulating
and preparing copy for the printer.
1t is suggested by Supervisor Vanish
that persons likely to leave st. Paul be-
tween now and June 1 call at the office
of the local bureau and leave their name
and such other information as they
may desire. By doing so they will not
be missed in the final report of the popu-
lation of the city. There will not again
be an opportunity afforded to correct the
list for ten years for the government. Or
five years for the state census

The work of its first year was reviewed
at a meeting of the White Bear I'M
provement association held last night at
the Commercial club. The annual cleo
ton of officers occurred and plans were
formulated looking towards speedy in

The election of officers resulted in the
choice of Judge Clark, of White Bear, as
president, vice H. T. Drake, who by
reason of the demands upon him felt him
self unable to accept the offer of an
other term. NJ. E. Kost was prevailed
upon to act for another year as secre-
tary, and David Hanna was reelected
treasurer. j. M. Goldsmith was chosen
as vice president of the association
The secretary's report showed that the
association was organized March 10 last.
BY its efforts an appropriation of 1000
per year for period of two years was
secured from the legislature. the money
to be expended In Improvement of White
Bear lake. During the year $342 was ex-
pended in removing weeds from the
southwest shore and $116 for cleaning the
shores and repairing washouts' The sec
rotary reported that the board of county
commissioners had made a survey of the
thoroughfare around the lake for
boulevard survey was also made for
a f1ume to tap the overflow of Pine Tree
lake, with, the idea of maintaining the
height of White Bear.
The matter of maintaining a good water
level OH the lake received considerable
attention. The proposed method of Sc
curing additional water from Pine Tree
lake received commentator, and the
members expressed the hope that the
ffume be constructed soon.
President Drake reported that the case
against the Ice companies was progress
ing well He also reported that he had
learned that the street railway COM
