LIVE STOCK.
Live stock is thin in flesh as re-
suit of the scant supply of feed and
roughage. All classes, however, are
generally healthy, if we except dis
temper among YOUR horses and mules.
Stock hogs are scarce. Spring lambs
are in fair condition. The general av-

Fruit prospects have improved dur

Some complaint is made of scant
apple bloom, and it is generally con-

TO SAVE YOUNG GIRLS
THREE NOTABLE ADDRESSES BY
MRS. MARY L. CONKLEN, OF
BROOKLYN, N. Y.
SPOKE TO MEN AT Y. M. C. A.
Speaker Earnestly DeDIOred COndi-
tlOns Artsing From Poorly Paid
Labor Among the Number
of Working Girls.

Mrs. Mabel L. Conklin, Of Brooklyn,
began the first Of her lectures on so
cial Purity yesterday, occupying differ
ent platforms morning, afternoon and
evening. Her first address was at Ham
line college at 1890 a. m, and at the
Y. M. c.. A. rooms in the afternoon she
spoke before a very large audience Of
men upon '"The New Chivalry." At the
Peoples church in the evening she took
for her subject THAT Boy of Yours"
Mrs Conklins most notable address
was at the Y. NJ. c. A. In the afternoon,
delivered exclusively before men. In
opening she took exception to an article
which appeared IN a morning paper de-
scribing her in a somewhat ridiculous
fashion. She said. however, that she had
always regarded newspaper reporters as
her friends; in fact, she had never had
criticism that might have been made Of
her or the work In which she was en-
gagged was, she believed, at least sin.
cerely pointed.
Mrs. Conklin is decided blonde, good
looking, and, in her discussion from the
platform, Is devoid to a very large de-
gree of mannerism, impresslng the audi
tor with her sincerity.
She presented her subject In q very
forcible manner, leaving out any I'M
necessary details, but striking right at
the causes and effects of immortality,
and, speaking as she does, from an ex-
perience consisting of years of hospital
service In New York city, her statements
l.. lo,, Al
carry great weight with all who heard
her.
The White Cross society the organiza-
ton which she represents, she said, rec
ognized no sex in virtue. However, in her
address, she would speak from woman
point of view. She regarded chivalry as
an endowment given men for the express
purpose of enabling them to assist those
of the opposite sex whose weakness only
magnifed the Importance Of the opposite
attribute in man. She deplored the con-
ditions arising from poorly paid labor
among women and characterized the man
who would take advantage of the poor girl
struggling for a living as even despl-
cable in the eyes of the devil. She gave
several very touching narratives Of ex-
periences In the hospital work, given up
entirely to reclaiming unfortunate and
fallen women. Young girls who had.
through the duplicity OF men. left their
homes for lives of shame counted thou
sands every year. Statistics gave $4,000
as the number that annually went down
to lives of shame and were eventually
lost In the abyss of immortality.
The stability of the nation depended
upon its mothers. and it was to the
chivalry Of the young men that all must
look for a perpetuation of a nation Of
homes. Mrs. Conklin stated that man
was not above the communication of his
mouth. She urged that all young men
shun evil companions and refuse to be-
come parties to filthy stories.

OUTLOOK FOR LUMBER
WILLIAM G'BRIEN THINKS PRICES
MAY DROP A BIT.

William O'Brlen, of Saltwater, largely
interested In the numbering industry Of
Northern Minnesota, returned yesterday
from a trip OF inspection of his camps
on the Cloquet river in the Duluth dis
trict. Mr.. OBrien Is very we'll known
In the Northwest. and Is authority on all
subjects of interest to the lumberman.
1--WE have but little complaint to make
of the weather north of Duluth" said
Mr.. O'Brien, land in a short time most
of the camps will finish UP the seasons
work 1 left yesterday, and there had
scarcely been thaw, with prospects Of
a continuation of the weather for a few
days at least. South of Duluth, however.
it Is different. The nights are cold, and
considerable progress has been made
by working night crews. Logs can be
hauled on roads frozen after shutdown,
and if We have a week or two of freezing
weather all the camps south Of Duluth
will be able to complete the season in
good shape We have done much better
than 1 expected we would.
Laundering has been very expensive
this season. owing to the difficulty in get
ting men to stay In the woods. AS a
rule, one crew will finish out a season,
but I think it is no exaggeration to say
that lumbermen have taken three times
as many men to the woods as heretofore.
The Mccarthy law, passed by the last
legislature, which allows the men to de-
mand pay and quit, is very bad in It's
operation, both for the employer and the
men. 1t seriously interferes with the
work, and the men. as soon as they have
spent the money paid them, are back
again for work. 1 think the law Is en-
tirely unnecessary. and. further than
that, menace to the loggers. I know
there never was a time when a married
man In one of my camps could not get
his money TO send home, and I think that
Is true of all who employ men in the
woods All the lumbermen have expe-
rienced the same trouble this year in
the matter of labor. and the situation IS
becoming a serious one.
81 believe there will be no advance in
the price Of manufactured lumber, If, in
deed the market holds as It is. If we
could expect a general renewal OF actlv-
ity In building all over the country this
could be reasonably expected. We hear
of labor troubles all over the country,
and there is but little question that this
together with the somewhat unsettled
condition of the market, will retard
building operations"

The fire was first discovered by a
Waterman about 4 o'clock, and had prob
ably been burning for some time pre-
Vious, because it had gained considerable
Roadway. The South st. Paul volunteer

an Hour In Railroad Yards.
With putting locomotives and rapidly
moving cars all about him, three-year-
old Frank Aver, living with his parents
at 702 Minnehaha street, walked nearly
a mile through the East st. Paul railroad
yards Saturday afternoon and was lost
for some hours. His parents learned that
the little fellow had been seen in the
yards and feared every moment
throughout the search instituted to come
upon the baby form crushed and cold
between the tracks. But, entirely uncon-
scious Of his danger, the boy wended
through the network of rails, between
long trains of cars, without being harm
ed, and at last was seen near De Soto
street and rescued from danger. The
boy was taken to a residence at 765 De
Soto street, where he was kindly cared
for until his parents found him, shortly
after Z o'clock Saturday evening.
