IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
President Roosevelt Takes Up Ills
Residence There.


Residence There.
Washington correspondence st. Paul
Pioneer Press:
When President Roosevelt took up
his residence in the white house today
the last of the personal effects of Mrs.
Mckinley and of her lamented hus-
band had been packed away in boxes
in the basement of the mansion ready
for shipment to Canton tomorrow.
The work of collecting and packing
these effects was performed by trusted
servants of the late President and
Mrs. Mckinley. Various boxes and
pieces of furniture, of which there are
a large number, will be sent by ex-
press addressed to Mrs. Mckinley.
President Mckinley and his wife
had only a little furniture of their own
in the white house, but of clothing
and brio a. brac and various valuable
souvenirs of William McKinley's term
in Office there is very large stock.
Some of the articles are of consider
able intrinsic value. Among these
are the beautiful vases presented to the
late president by the president of
France, solid gold plate, weighing
at least two or three pounds. presented
to Mr.. Mckinley last spring by the
Knights Templars of California and
other articles made of precious metals
and deliberately embossed and engraved
with appropriate inscriptions.
All these presents Mr.. Mckinley kept
in his library in the white house,
some of them in plain view of such
visiting intimate friends as he some
times received there.
The late president also had con-
siderable number of books in the Ii
brary and i'll other rooms in the pri
vate part of the mansion, which were
his personal property and which will
be shipped to the Canton home of his
widow. During the first three years
of his administration the president
had a number of pieces of furniture in
the private apartments of the white
house, but when the Canton home was
remodeled and enlarged these were re-
moved thither, so that there is now
practically nothing in the way of
chairs, tables, bureaus or other pieces
of household furniture remaining in
the executive mansion.
A part of the goods that will be
shipped to Canton tomorrow consist of
souvenirs of President McKinley's ex-
tensive tours over the continent.

MINNESOTA SCHOOL EXHIBIT
That at the Pan.American Expo. viii
Probably Be Shown in St. Paul.

There is strong possibility, says
the Minneapolis Journal, that the
educational exhibit of Minnesota at
the Pan-American exposition will be
returned to Minnesota intact and will
be placed on exhibition before it is ap-
portioned to the schools from which it
was collected. In response to numer-
GUS requests from teachers the officials
of the Minnesota Educational associ
alton have sent letters to the schools
from which the exhibits were taken,
requesting permission to exhibit the
collection at the meeting of the Edu-
cational association in December.
Quarters have been secured for the ex-
hibit at Hotel Ryan, st. Paul Presi-
dent Northrup. on behalf of the uni
versity, gave his consent this morning
and it is likely t at the other schools
will also agree to the exhibition.

POSSIBLY SAVED LIFE.
Two Young Men Pull Another From
Under a Moving Train.

Rev. Simon Deuber, who resides at
the corner of Front and Lafayette
streets, and who is former German
Lutheran minister, had narrow es-
cape from death or serious injury
Tuesday afternoon at the union depot.
He was bidding farewell to some
friends and had boarded the ~ G.
& N. W. east bound train. When the
train started north to get the sleeper
in the yards, he supposed that it was
pulling out for the next station and
jumped off from the moving train,
although warned to remain on board
as the train would come back.
Mr.. Deuber struck a truck as he
jumped, and fell back under the train.
W. R Olmstead and VIM. George
were standing close by, and before any
accident could occur seized the pros.
trate man and jerked him out from
his perilous position. These young
men are deserving of praise for their
GOODNESS and promptitude.

DUTY UF THE STATE.
The S. s, Club Discusses Whether it
Should Furnish Work for Its Citizens.


The Social Science club held its first
meeting for the season at Schiller hall
Tuesday evening. Rev. Geo. w. Davis,
Rev. F. E. R. Miller and Prof. J. A.
Hancock were elected to membership
in the club. The program as prepared
by the executive committee was read
and approved by the club. G. N. An
drews read the paper of the evening
on, "Should Government Insure Every
Citizen Opportunity to Earn Liveli-
hood. He quoted from several
writer's on social economics holding it
to be the duty of the state to provide
for its citizens, but said that while
the writer's were nearly all in the
affirmative the attempts to put the idea
into practical usage had met mostly
with failure. After considering to
some extent several different phases of
the subject, he set forth three con-
illusions in event the state attempted
such move. First, that there should
be no interference with normal cond j.
tions relief should be purely temper
airy and wages not sufficient to attrac
or hold persons except during tendency
of emergency. Second, that the pro-
duct of the labor employed should be
such as not to compete with other
labor. Third, that the work should be
reasonably diversified and be perfectly
honorable and in no way associate d
with charity or punishment.
Prof. c. F. Koehler led the discus
sion and opposed the idea of the state
furnishing the opportunity for the
citizen to earn livelihood. He did not
think it the proper sphere of the gov
eminent, nor in keeping with the
spirit of our institutions s.-I In the.gen-
eral discussion there was both approval
and disapproval of the proposition,
many interesting points being set
forth in behalf of each view.
The next meeting of the club will be
held on Tuesday evening, Oct. Sth,
when 81. L. Schmitt will read paper
on "Syndicated Capital VS.. Organized
Labor" and F. M Currier will lead
the discussion.

A writer upon the weather asserts
that irrigation is the direct cause of
the intense heated spell which rested
over the county, last july, AS there
have been such heated spells before,
how is he going to account for those
happening before irrigation was prac-
ticed. Even though irrigation might
have some climatic influence, it has
not yet become extensive enough to
have any particular influence upon the
elements, and it is doubtful if it would

In September year ago President
Mckinley wrote the following for a
religious work issued by New Y ork
publishing ,..house - THE religion
which Christ founded has been a
mighty influence in the civilization of
the human race. If we today owed to
it nothing more than this, our debt of
appreciation would be incalculable.
The doctrine of love, purity and right
living has step by step won its way
into the heart of mankind, has exalted
home and family, and has filed the
future with hope and promise. " In
such elevating words as these the mar
tyred president still lives and speaketh.
