excellent musical programme was given,
and the log cabin of the territorial pio-
neers, where the relics of early Mime
sofa days awakened the interest Of all
visitors The programme at the fedora
ton headquarters yesterday was a pa
triotic one. The pretty music room on
! the second floor was especially decorated
with flags and palms in honor of St Paul
day, and st. Paul musicians rendered a
delightful programme Miss Hopes
Ladies' orchestra played several num-
bers. Miss Alcott and Miss Elizabeth
Woods sang, and Miss Edith Harriette
Murray read a number of selections.
Among those Of the Schubert club who
were in charge were Miss Hope. Mrs. Jes-
sica DeWo1f and Mrs. c. G. Titcomb The
mornings programme at the headquart-
ers was made up of addresses. Con-
gresham Fred Stevens spoke at some
length. His subject was women Orga-
nizations,' and In 1t he paid d glowing
tribute to the women of Minnesota for
the work they have accomplished. Now
adays, in the estimation of the civilized
world.'' he said, human life is most
precious, and human happiness the great
boon to be obtained. So that every per-
son has some interest in the state and
| the social organism which perpetuates
and increases these blessings" He
thought that women were as much con-
cerned in the outside world as men, and
should be equally interested In sharing
the burdens and the benefits, but he
thought that women as a class had not
as yet had the experience and the bent
of mind required to consider the larger
propositions in a practical way and have
been too apt to follow the idealist who
would reform the world in a week. Organ
ization, however, was doing much for
women, he thought, in keeping her in
touch with the live questions and the
method Of their solution.
Mrs. W. P. Jewett, one of the vice presi-
dents-general of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, spoke briefly of the
work that is being accomplished by her
society along patriotic lines. The pro-
gramme was in charge of DR.. Helen w.
Bissell and Mrs James B. Beals.
Old settlers from all over Minnesota
find something very endearing about the
log cabin. While younger generations
pass from building to building. those old
people are content to sit quietly on the
broad piazza and exchange "reminiscences.

teresting and interested visitor at the
cabin yesterday was Mrs. Catherine Bar

She moved to Minnesota in 1852, and has
resided here ever since. She has a host
of friends throughout the state, and she

day. Her autograph on the cabin regis

firm.
