DR.. FLINT HAS APPEALED
CONTENDS THAT HIS LICENSE WAS
WRONGFUII,Y SUSPENDED

In the presence of several members Of
the state medical board, the appeal of
Dr. Edward N Flint was heard yester.
day morning by Gov. Van SAINT at the
capitol building. The license Of the APP
pealing physician has been repealed by
the state medical board, on the ground
that he Was7 guilty of practices that
were strictly unprofessional Dr. Flint
was represented by C. d. O;Brien who
cOntended that the charge preferred
against Flint was that he had aided and
abetted Wallace A. Reinhart, of Chicago
in carrying on medical. practices that
were unprofeSsional. He commended that
the integrity OF DIR. Flint had not been
questioned. In the hearing before tie
medical board there was an abundance
of evidence to. prove that Wallace A
Reinhart was not connected with the in
stitution with which DR.. Flint was, asso-
-ciated, but, that it was in the hands of
other parties.f Asst for the advertising,
Mr.. O'Brien stated that all advertising
involved a certain amount Of eXaggera-
ton. Moreover, the attorney commended
Dr.. Flint had nothing to do with the adj
vertising. 4 s.l-~
Mr. Hawthorne, for the medical board,
said that Wallace A. Reinhart had first
operated the institution. After several
changes the institution came into the
hands of Frank Reinhart- brother or the
first proprietor, whose trade was former
~ that of an electrician. Mr., Haw-
thorne characterized the claims made
by the institution as constituting "the
most bare-faced swindIe that was ever
perpetrated on the people of Minnesota
He also contended that Flint; was the
resident physicians-at the local institu-
ton and that he was fully cognizant OF
all the advertising that was being done.

Crow" think it is less generallx known

Crow" I think it is less generally known
that Edwin Booth was negro minstrel
in his youth. Booth made his debut in
Beston in 1S49 and later, when only sew
enteen, he and John S. Clarke went
down South, giving negro enterta- nment
and making use of the banjo and bones.
They employed a real darkey as advance
agent and on arriving. in the first town
you may imagine their chargrin when
they found that that intelligent individual
had posted everyone Of their bills upside
down. Notwithstanding the immense
amount of money spent and made on this
style of entertainment nearly all the pio-
neers Of minstrelsy were poor at their
death, some of them passing away de-
pending upon charity. A few later min
streIs have been rich. Wambold, of the
old San Francisco Ministries, was worth
nearly 100000 at the time of his death
Backus, of the same firm, fully $500, Co.,
and Bernard, although he inherited lots
of it, over $1,000,000 Poor old Billy
Rureh, their partner, was for four years
previous to his death penniess in New
York almost entirely dependent upon an
annual benefit, for which everyone in the
profession bought tickets and the pro-
ceeds of which the poor old-time Jester
at once lost at the faro table. But the
personnel of minstrelsy has changed as
much in these later years, as has min
strelsy itself. The minstrel of today is
no longer the strolling Bohemian, content
to exchange jokes, his stump speech and
his negro shuttle for a few dollars. : !
1.-The first regularly organized MINSTREL
troupe was founded in Catherine street, |
New York. It was at a boarding house
kept by a Mrs. Brooks. Dan Emmett
was one of her boarders. He and Billy
Whftlock were one day practicing the
fiddle and banjo there, when Frank Bow
er accidentally called. He Joined them
with the bones. Dick Pelham dropped
in and Immediately secured a tambourine,
and the Virginia minstrels were formed
That was in 1872 That very day they
gave their first performance appearing
at Bartlett's billiard rooms on the Bow
cry, a great resort for the circus people
at that time. That was quick work. and
the rapidity of banded minstrelsy's
growth is shown by the fact that this
same organization soon afterward went
to London, where it proved huge sue
cess 1t has taken a long time to reach
the almost perfect condition in which
you will find present day minstrelsy. But
Just think Of it, four people took part IN
that first American minstrel perform
ance. and draw the contrast to the halt
hundred you will now see with two or
three organizations at this time. Dan
Emmett and his companions were GER
tainly the pioneers of minstrelsy.

ST. PAUL IS A WINNER
COMMERCIAL CLUB TO BOOM CON-
MENTIONS AND PUBLIC BATHS.

MENTIONS AND PUBLIC BATHS.
The Commercial club is fully alive to
the importance of maintaining st. Paurs
rapidly growing reputation as one of the
best convention cities In the United
States. So far, although conventions of
immense size have been here, not the
smallest difficulty has been experienced
in handling or accommodating the
crowds. In order to be better able to I'M
press favorably all those to come to this
city with conventions, citizens commit
tee, under the auspices of the CONNER
cial club, is being formed to devise means
for the raising of the necessary funds to
entertain and suitably receive delegates
to conventions, three of which will visit
the city during the next two months.
It is pointed out that in addition to
spending vast sums of money here these
visitors will carry to all parts Of the
country their experiences of this city,
which will be widely advertised in con-
sequence, st. Paul merchants have al
ways literally responded to all requests
made upon them, but it is the desire of
this committee to secure the combined eff
fort of every citizen toward swelling the
sum total. A, series of popular priced at
fractions at the auditorium seems to be
the most feasible method of attaining
the desired end, This would furnish a
liberal return to each individual for the
small amount he would be called upon 10
pay. 1t would take all element Of solicita-
ton out of the entertainment of these
bodies, and it would enable every citizen
Of st. Paul to show. that he was loyal
to his home city, and at the same time
furnish him a generous amount of amuse-.
ment for the small amount Of expendi-
ture. ~
The committee will also make it part of
its business to promote the interests Of
the public baths.

LET MEMBERS WIVES IN
CIDES ON AN IMPORTANT
INNOVATION
MEMBERSHIP IS GROWING
Four Hundred Attended tho Chicago
Meeting, and st. Paul Almost
Secured the Next Bien-
NAL Meeting.

Q. Tankenoff, o. Goldenberg and B.
Jankelevitz ST. Paul delegates to the
tWenty-third biennial convention of the
society or Birth Abraham, the largest
Hebrew benevolent and fraternaI body
In the United States, have returned from
chicago, where the convention met, and
report the most successful gathering in
the history Of the society.
Nearly 400 delegates were present. in
Guiding Congressman H. NJ Goldfogle,
OF New York, and Judge Bloch, OF
Cleveland. The proceedings We're char
acterlzed by harmony and friendship,
and many important innovations were
decided upon. Chief among these was
the decision to allow the wives of men,
pers TO belong to the society. Hereto
lore, the wives of members by paying
assessment charges were allowed to re-
ee1Ye endoWments on the death Of their
husbands, but after such death they
were debarred from further participa-
ton IN the benefits. Now the death OF
husband or wife makes no difference SO
lar as the status of the other is con-
cerned. The assessment per member for
every death Was reduced from 10 to S
cents.
The society has a surplus of about
$25,OOO and the. convention voted numer-
Gus grants to charitable institutions.
The hospitals for Hebrews at New York,
Denver, and ST. Louis were all hand
somely remembered and other gifts to
the amount of $2,7OO were ordered.
Samuel Dorf, the grand president of
the society, was unanimously reelected,
and the grand secretary, Leonard Leis-
ersohn, was also elected to another term.
The Birth Abraham society was insti-
tuted in 1859, and has enjoyed a prosper
Gus career from the first. There are at
the present time S5,356 members in the
United States and Canada, and the men,
bership roll Of Minnesota musters 1565.
The st. Paul delegates made a gallant
hight to bring the next biennial conven-
ton to this city, but after desperate
struggle the representatives from Bos-
ton won by the bare majority of three
votes out Of over $50 cast. Though de-
feated the ST. Paul delegates are not
discouraged, and they assert that they
will secure the biennial gathering to be
held in 1905.
