Pupils Are Numerous.

There are over 4O6, 900 pupils attend
ing school in Minnesota at the present
time, an increase of 1000 over the en-
rollment of last year, according to re-
ports made by county superintendents.
Considering the population of the state
the showing is the best made by any
state in the west. In 1860 there were
but IS 900 pupils in the public schools,
The increase in forty-one years has
been over 100000, IN average OF over
5000 year, or an increase of 1924 per
cent.
Since 1890 there has been an of 1885,
600, or an average increase of 1900
per year. The school population has
increased in much greater proportion
than has the population of the state.
The $50 school houses il, l,iiO have
increased to 5000 in l9Ol the number
of teachers from 700 to $4,000, and the

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Remains of the Late Senator Davis
Taken to Washington.
Mrs. Davis Suddenly Makes Up Her Mind
That His Final Resting Place Shall
BE in the National
Cemetery.

Mrs. c. K. Davis, of ST. Paul, left for
Washington, taking with her the re-
mains of her husband, the late senator
who died last November
Since the death of the senator, his
remains have rested in the vault at
Oakland cemetery, and the intention
of Mrs. Davis to remove them to Wash
ington was not generally known
The men at the St Paul union sta
ton, when they transferred the plain
black casket from the baggage truck
to the Burlington train were unaware
that they were handling the coffin
which contained the body of the dis
tinguished senator from Minnesota
The utmost secrecy attended the
transfer of the remains from the Gene
terry vault to St. Paul undertaking
parlor, where they remained until they
were taken to the station
Early in the summer Mrs. Davis
wrote to Mayor Smith of ST. Paul, ask
ing the city to set apart plot on Sum-
nit avenue for the site of tomb for
the remains of her husband She in
dicated at that time that unless such
step was taken she would have the re-
mains inferred at Washington. Moth
ing was done, and for this reason Mrs.
Davis is thought to feel that Washing
ton will be more suitable resting
place. She will spend the winter there.

SECOND CENTURY ENDED.
President Roosevelt Among Those
Who Receive Honorary Degrees
from Yale University.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 24.-With
solemn and impressive ceremonies
and brilliant entertainments Yale
university last night closed the cele-
bration of the completion of its sec
ond century of life.
The events of the day were partici-
pated in by the president of the
United States, other great men in
public life, distinguished foreign
statesmen, church dignitaries, heads
of many educational institutions,
both at home and abroad, men prom
inent in the world of literature, and
others in many walks of life.
Never has there been an occasion
of the kind which brought together
so notable an assemblage. Gradu-
ates to the number of more than
5000, and fully 100000 strangers were
in the city. A long list of honorary
degrees was awarded to promi-
nent leaders in all parts of the world,
among them being President Roose-
velt.

Position Where British Troops
Dare Not Attack Him.

London, Oct. 21.-The persistently
bad news from South Africa continues
to excite the keenest fears in Great
Britain. Botha, the Boer commandant
general, has again outwitted several
British columns, and is in an in
trenched position where they dare not
attack him. The successful Boer raid
into the richest districts of Cape Col
ony within 60 miles of Cape Town
painfully illustrates the helplessness
of the British army.
London, Oct 22.-The Daily Express
learns that Lord Kitchener has wired
an urgent demand to the war office for
more trained mounted men.
London, Oct. PA dispatch from
Brussels says it is reported there that
Commandant Gen. Louis Botha is en-

Terrible Result Of Fire in a Big
Furniture Factory in City
of Philadelphia.
VICTIMS ROASTED ON THE FIRE ESCAPES
Others Go Down with the Floors and
Are Buried in the Red-Hot Ruins
-Over Score Observation-Disclosures
z ing Scenes Are Caused by the Dis

Philadelphia, Oct. 26. - Nineteen
known dead and property loss
amounting to upwards of $5Oo,Ooo is the
awful result of a fire which occurred
Friday in the business section of the
city. The number of injured is not
known definitely, but fully a score of
victims were treated at various hos
pitfalls. Police and fremen are delv-
ing into the ruins in search of bodies
supposed to have been buried beneath
the debris, as it is feared that others
besides the known dead may have
lost their lives in the flames. The
buildings destroyed were the eight
story structure, 1919 and 1921 Market
street, occupied by Hunt, Wilkins on
& Co., upholsterers and furniture
dealers and three three-story buildings
occupied by small merchantmen. The
big furniture building extended back
half block to Commerce street, and
was owned by Henry c. Lea. The list
of known dead is as follows:
The Victims.
Dorothy Kramer, Martha Baker, Mar
garet Hebden. Susan Gormley, Harry
House, H A. Sparrow, Charles E. Spar
row, Fred Wilmington, Charles Lands,
Walter Stearly, j. E. Armstrong, Mrs. Mar
tina Banks (colored), Mrs. Mary Mitchell
(colored), Margaret Grady one unknown
white woman and four unknown white
men.
Such disastrous fire attended with
SO great loss of life in such a brief
period was never before known in
this city. Men and women died lin
gering, agonizing death in the pres
ence of thousands of spectators who
were unable to lift hand to their as
sistance. The rear of Hunt, Wilkin-
son & Co.'s building faces on Com
merce street, a small thoroughfare.
On the fire escapes at this end of the
building two men and one woman
were slowly roasted to death, while
the horror-stricken throng on the
street below turned sick at the sight.
In the front on Market street wom-
an, driven to desperation, leaped
from window on the top floor and
was dashed to death on the pave
ment. These are but a few of the
heartrending scenes attending the
fagration. Firemen claim to have
seen men and women, unable to reach
the windows or fire escapes, burned
to death in the interior of the build
ing. If this be so, little or nothing
remains of these victims and it is
doubtful if any portion of their
bodies will be recovered
The Losses.
The loss is estimated at half a mil
lion dollars, most of which will fall
on Hunt, Wilkinson & Co., whose loss
is estimated at $25O,OOO. Henry c..
Lea's loss on the building is about
$15o,000. William F. Potts & Son suf-
fered a loss of 100000, while other oc-
cupants of the Potts buildings and
surrounding property owners suffered
losses aggregat ting $4,000.

Causes a Vacancy.

AS is we'll known, the late Governor
Pillsbury was made a life member of
the university board of regents by act
of the legislature, and as his death re-
duces the mem bership of that board to
twelve members, some speculation has
arisen as to the method of filling the
vacancy.
Gov. Van SAINT has not examined the
law, but was Of the impression that a
regular six year appointment would
have to be made, as the special act
made no provision for any other meth
cd. The governor, however, will refer
the matter to the attorney generals

There is no yelling. Even the signs

CHRISTMAS.

In every civilized land next Wednes-
day the gracious Christmas season will
be observed with devotional and festive
ceremonies. 1t is the peculiar holiday
of the Christian year. It bears all the
precious memories of the Christian faith.
There is, to be sure, nothing new for
us, or any one, to say about Christmas.
If there were, we would be almost sorry
to say it. There are few things in this
world which we do not want to have
changed or revised, or meddled with in
any way. Merry Christmas is one OF
them.
The day is commemorated by ex-
changes of all the Offices of friendship
Kindly membranes in gifts and affec-
tionate messages pass from hand to hand
All the best social and friendly relations
of life are renewed and perpetuated. Il
is the Sabbath of the year-a pause be-
tween the past and future, like the Sab
bath between the weekdays of labor
during which we shall collect oul
thoughts, measure the extent of oul
duties and deservings and account witt
ourselves for all that we owe and for al
that we have offered in recompense.
The American people surely have goot
cause to gather with cheerful hearts
around their Christmas boards and giv'
a merry farewell to the passing year.
Whatever blessings may suit each hear
and home the best, these are the ones w
wish for our readers, whoever or whereve
thew NAV be.
