THE SHRINERS OUTING.
Took Place at Fond du Lac and Was
Most Enjoyable.


Most Enjoyable.
The Shriners held their annual
outing at Fond du Lac Wednesday and
it was a most enjoyable affair. The
members of the order and their fami-
lies left at 9 o'clock on the steamer
Suit and later taking on crowd at
Superior the boat steamed up the river.
There were 225 persons in the party.
No regular program for the day was
arranged with the exception Of some
athletic contests in which only the
children participated. All enjoyed
themselves to the utmost and the
Shriners made the best kind Of hosts.
A noticeable feature on the part Of
the male members OF the excursion
when the return was made was the
lack of neckties. There were a num-
Der of young ladies in the party and
each appropriated a cravat to her own
use. There were many jokes and
FRANKS played during the day on differ
ent ones and they produced the desired
effect.
The feature of the picnic was the
grand cakewalk which was won by
Mayor Il. w. Hugo and his niece, Miss
Annie hugo. Nearly all or the eX-
cursionists were entered in the contest
and each had the choicest lot of fancy
steps to spring on the judges. A white
parasol was given to the little lady for
her good work. Following were the
winners in the different events:
Girls running race-Margie Arm
strong, first; Jennie Carlson, second,
Stella Quimby, third.
Boys three-legged race-Roy Segog
and G. Hazen, first; Adolph Levy and
Leon Cooley, second.
Ladies' potato race-Miss Cooley,
first; Miss Anna Black, second.
Boys sack race-Roy Segog, first;
Sam Levy, second.
Ladies' egg race-Miss May Hanson,
first: Miss Florence Bailey, second.
Boys lemon race-Ernest Quimby,
first; Willie Armstrong, second.
The return from the pleasure grounds
was made at 7:3O o'clock and all Of the
picnickers said the outing was the most
delightful yet given by the popular
order.

The new charter and the complexities
naturally arising in connection there
with continue to occupy the attention
of city officers and will for some time
to come. No features not previously
known, were unearthed yesterday, al
though there was more or less COM
planning by some Of the departments
as to the extra work the new charter
makes necessary.
1t is the intention, however, to put
the document in effect as soon as pos
sible, and it is probable that early in
the week the judgment handed down
by the supreme court will be entered.
That procedure will put the charter in
operation 10 days later. City Attorney

posed of by the city since March

TOWNE RETURNS TODAY
ITINERARY FOR CAMPAIGN MAP
PED OUT.
viii Fire Opening Gun In Dulutl,
AbOut the First Of Sep
tember.

Charles A. Towne Is expected home
from Chicago Saturday. He has been
In that city for several days in con-
sultation with Mr.. Bryan and the
Democratic national committee. His
itinerary for the campaign has been
mapped out in general way, the
program including speeches in the CEN
trail west. the eastern states, and the
central states in the order named. He
VIII open his campaign in Duluth about
the first of next month. 1t was at first
intended that Mr.. Towne should go to
the Pacific coast but he argued against
that as 1t would cut deeply into the
time which he will have at his dispo-
sal. The eastern states were substi-
tuted for the Pacific coast in his pro-
gram. Mr.. Towne will spend a large
part of September stumping the states
of Kansas, Nebraska and South Da-
kota. Colorado may. also hear a few

order to know the exact position be-
fore taking action. He is not yet far
enough along with the matter to give
any opinion, but says he anticipates no
special trouble and believes that prac-
tically everything done during the sum-
mer by the city will be upheld by the
court if it comes to that point.
Mayor Hugo is anxious to have the
charter take effect, as he believes 1t
advisable to get the machinery working
properly at the earliest possible mo-
ment. He says that although it will
cause some extra work at first, as soon
as it's provisions are understood by the
city officers everything will run along
as smoothly as ever, with the advant-
age that always accrues to an organ
ization working under an improved
system.
One of the provisions of the charter
very favorably commented upon is that
requiring the certifying of all special
assessments to the county auditor, and
thus eliminating the necessity of tax
payers paying at both offices. Here
after when a property owner receives
a statement from the county auditor
he knows that it includes all his delin-
quent taxes and assessments, and when
paid he feels that his land or home is
safe. This will avoid complications
such as occurred last fall, when large
number of assignment certificates due
to delinquent sprinkling assessments
involving property to the amount of
about 100000 was sold to real estate
man for $3.50. The result was that 1t
cost the owners of the property many
times the amount of their assessments
because Of their failure to keep close
watch on the comptroller's office and
to see that their taxes were paid there
as we'll as at the county auditors. AS
stated, under the new system it will
now all be kept on record in the audi
tors office. ''.'

Chance to Save a "V"

Postmaster Salter said to repre-
sentative Of The News Tribune yes
terday that many had not yet num-
bered their houses but that he has
urged them to do so as quickly as
possible. The plat in the city engineers
office can be seen at any time and
there should be no difficulty In getting
the right numbers. If they are not
put in place within 30 days from the
time the order passed by the council

and besides paying for the job the
people occupying the houses will pay

THE MODERN TALL. BUILDING.
1t IL Not Heard Of So Much as 1t Was
Mt First.

Mt First.
Those who have occasion to travel
about in the neighborhood of business
Chicago must have observed that fewer
people nowadays stop to gaze up at the
tall buildings. When the first of these
were under erection the city jewellers
halted on the sidewalk opposite, from
time to time, to watch the towering
giants. and for long time visitors
were accustomed to stand and look up
at the completed buildings with frank
admiration and wonder. They do this
now to some extent, but not so much
as they did. The buildings are more
familiar, and in cities other than the
greatest they put up nowadays some
pretty tall buildings; so that the mod
ern sky-scraper, wonderful as it still
is, If one stops to think about it, has
lost the edge of novelty.
When the first tall building were
erected visitors and tenants were per-
mitted to go up to the roof for the
view, but as the buildings filled up and
settled into their regular business life
it was found impracticable to permit
this without serious inconvenience, and
there are now few, if any, of the tall,
modern business buildings to whose
roof visitors have access. AT one tall
building it was said that the number of
applicants for such permission was
much smaller than formerly, and it
was thought that this might be due
to the fact that to people generally the
modern tall building had now become
familiar At another tall building it
was said that the requests for per-
mission to visit the roof had fallen off
but little. At another it was said that
1t had not fallen off at all.

time and from appearances all found
what they were in search Of A fine
literary program was given soon after
the pleasure seekers had reached the
picnic grounds. There were many dis
tinguished out of town people present,
which created additional interest in the
affair.
In the absence of Mayor Hugo, l.. A.
Earnes, president of the common coun-
Gil OF Duluth. gave the address of well

der had been doing and hoped that its
usefulness would continue to grow.

WOMAN CYCLlST RUN DOWN.
Mrs. Anna Call Painfully Injured in
a Head ON Collision.

Mrs Ann Call, of No. 271 York street,
was painfully injured Saturday afternoon
by being thrown from her bicycle in a
collision with team of horses. Mrs.
Call was removed to her home by Justice
of the Peace Lehane. Her bicycle was
smashed
Mrs. Call said that under instructions
from her physician she has recently start
ed to ride a bicycle for her health. She
was not an expert by any means, but had
had no trouble before. She left home
Saturday to ride ON the Boulevard and
after an enjoyable trip she was returning
home along Mercer street.
AS she neared Brunswick street she saw
a team of horses on that thoroughfare,
but she believed that the horses were go
ing to continuer along Brunswick street.
The driver Harry Ross, however, sud-
denly turned the team into Mercer street.
Mrs. Call became frightened as she saw
the possibility of hitting the horses and
could not turn out of the way.
She crashed into the horse head on and
was thrown to the street. The horses took
fright and started on run. The wheels
of the wagon grazed Mrs. Calls legs and
for the time disabled her. The driver of
the wagon said the accident was unavoid-
able as Mrs. Call was frightened.

n FOUNDATIONS"
Secretary Brown, of the Y. M. G. A.
Tells of the Institution.

An address of a practical and interest
ing character was delivered yesterday
afternoon in Humboldt Hall by Secretary
Charles B. Brown of the Young Mems
Christian Association. The subject of Mr.
Browns talk yas Foundations" The
Secretary said that the foundation was
the most important part of building.
The speaker referred to the immense cost
of some of the foundations of the build
ings now being erected in New York and
other cities. This was rendered necessary
bv reason of the magnificent structures
the architects had planred to erect upon
them.
Character building was similar to this,
and before a man could erect character
that would stand, be ornamental, useful
and permanent he must look after his
foundation. The land was full of physical
and moral wrecks and tottering charac-
ters, because of a failure to recognize this
truth. We could not build character upon
a weak foundation.
In closing Secretary Brown referred to
the work of the Young Mems Christian
Association the past two years, and told
his hearers that the most he had planned
was to secure a good foundation. He be-
lieved this was being done, and the friends
of the institution should view the work
from this standpoint.
Great care was being exercised in the
foundation work One of the stones was
"a pure and practical religion thoroughly
orthodox" All things OF questionable
character were being thrown out as bad
foundation material The chief corner
stone was Jesus Christ. Considerable pro-
gress in association affairs had been made
the past year, but the work of completing
good foundation will be continued.
Secretary Brown said that it would be
safe to rely upon the construction of
permanent and magnificent work in Jer-
sey City, that would be of lasting and
practical benefit to its young men, if the
/ foundation was securely built.
