A Y. M. c. A. BUILDING.

There are hints that an effort will
be made in this city soon to erect a Y
M. @. A. building. 1t is said that
help of a very substantial nature to-
ward this end will be given by one or
more of our citizens. The state con-
vention last week adopted a resolution
urging that associations everywhere
purchase building sites and erect
buildings as o al possible, and the
Mankato association does not propose
to be behind the others. There are
$50 Y. M. c. A. buildings in the
United States, and the number is in
creasing rapidly every year.

BUILDING BURNED.
Duluth Normal School is Dis.
troyed by Fire.
The Building Would Have Been Complete
in Thirty Days -. Cost
$4,000 Complete.

The following Duluth dispatch is
clipped from this mornings Pioneer
Press:
The new normal school, known as
the fifth, which was approaching COM
pletion here, was destroyed by fire to-
night. The walls are standing but the
building is Quilted. There is $40, 900
insurance on the building which, it
is believed, will be sufficient to v
the loss. The walls are standing in
tact, but the extent Of the damag e to
them cannot be ascertained until they
have had an opportunity to cool. The
general contractors were Mcleod &
Smith of this city and the state car
ried the insurance, dividing the ex-
penses with the firm mentioned. If
the walls do not crack and crumble
the insurance will be equal to the loss,
otherwise it will not. The origin of
the fire is a mystery. The forem an,
G. W. Medium, was the last man to
leave the building this evening. He
says there was no sign of fire. The
confiagration evidently did not origin
ate in the boiler room, but on the
second floor front, facing the lake,
some distance from the boiler plant,
which had been carefully banked late
in the afternoon. The building would
have been completed in thirty days.
The entire structure cost $40, 600.

NORTHROP NAMED.
The Safe University President Recon-
mended as a St. Louis Worlds Fair
Commissioner.

The Safe University President Recon-.
mended as a St. Louis Worlds Fair
Commissioner.
st. Paul Pioneer Press Washington
Correspondence, Feb. 20:
Prof. Cyrus, Northrop, president of
the university of Minnesota, is slated
for membership ION the national COM
mission to govern the worlds fair to
be held in st. Louis to commemorate
the Louisiana purchase.
- The recommendation for Prof.
Northrup's appointment was today
filed with-the president by Represen-
tative+ Tawney. . Senator Nelson was
present when Mr.. Tawney conferred
with the president and added his as
surances. that the appointment of Prof.
Northrop would be Endorsed by the
Minnesota delegation and give gen.
eral satisfaction in the state. The
national commission created by the
Tawney worlds fair bill is to consist
of nine members, each of whom is to
receive salary of So, 900 a year.
The commission will be in existence
about four years. Prof. Northrop's
recommendation is equivalent to an
appointment, as the managers of the
worlds fair agree that Mr.. Tawney
should name one of the commissioners.
1t is probable that several other
places will fall to the Minnesota repre-
sentative, as his work as chairman of
the fair COMMITTEE has been highly
commended by s.the st. Louis delega-
tion. MI. Tawney had a long talk
with the president today about the
forthcoming exposition and the execu-
tive manifested {. -lively interest in it,
expressing the hope that it would
prove success. 1t is the intention of
the president to select the commits
sioners with care, as it is desired that
it shall be composed of strong men,
the powers of the commission sbeing
wide in their scope and influence.
Mr.. Tawney said there is much misun-
d~erstanding about the fair appropria-
tion made by the house. He said the
appropriation of So, 600, 900 is to cover
every expense of the government in
connection with the fair buildings.
DR.. Northrop, questioned in Mime
apolis late last night, said he was
willing to accept the appointment if
the work involved did not interfere
with the discharge of his duties as
president ..of the university. DR..
Northrop said ali he knew about the
case was that a Washington gentle
man had written asking him if he
would serve as a-world's fair commits
sioner if appointed. President North
rop replied, requesting to be informed
of the nature of the work expected of
him and stating that he did not want
the position if it should interfere in
the slightest degree with his duties at
the university.
