On the Death Of a Friends Child.

On the Death Of a Friends Child.
IT'S sorrow builds the Shining ladder up
Whose golden rounds are our calamities,
Wherein our firm feet planting. nearer
The spirit climbs, and hath it's eyes un-
sealed.
True is it that Deaths face seems stern
and cold,
When he is sent to summon those we
love,
But all Gods angels come to us dis
guised;
Sorrow and sickness, poverty and death,
One after another lift their frownng
masks,
And we behold the seraph's face be-
meath,
All radiant with the glory and the calm
or having looked upon the front of God.
With every anguish of our earthly part
The spirits sight grows clearer; this was
meant
When Jesus touched the blind mans lids
with clay.
Life is the jailer Death the angel sent
To draw the unwilling bolts and set us
free.
How changed dead friend. are thy part
and thy childs!
He bends above thy cradle now, or holds
His warning finger out to be the guide:
Thou art the nursing; he watches thee
Slow learning. one by one. the secret
things
Which are to him used sights of every
day;
He smiles to see thy wondering glances
The grass and pebbles of the spirit world,
To thee miraculous; he will teach
Thy knees their due observances of
prayer
Children are Gods apostles. day by day
Sent forth to preach of love and hope
and peace;
Nor hath thy babe his mission left un-
done.
To me. at least, his going hence hath
given
Serener thoughts and nearer to the skies,
And opened a new fountain in my heart
For thee. my friend. ana ali: and oh, IL

The work Of arranging the exhibits has
been systematically and theoretically

found great enthusiasm among men of
wealth and brains interested in the min
ing industry. The mining exhibits from
all of the Rocky Mountain country are

RED LIGHT RULES
CHIEF REYNOLDS WILL ISSUE
MANIFESTO TO TENDERLoIN.
WOMEN ROBBERS GROW BOLD
Several Thefts of This Character Have
Been Committed Recently-Police
Will Gather N All
Suspects. !.

Another crusade will be started against
the strong-arm women who operate in
the lower part Of the city, and also
against the denzens of the red-light dis
trict who have been giving the police
considerable trouble lately.
Chief Reynolds stated yesterday even-
ing that he intended to establish a set
of rules which must be observed by the
residents of the streets and alleys which
are under immediate police supervision,
and that all women would be required to
remain indoors.
OF late the complaints of robberies
have been growing more and more fire.
quent. ana the women engaged in them
have grown holder and more daring in
their operations.
The other night a colored woman. who
has since left town, held up and robbed
Chinaman from st. Louis who was
passing through Pleasant alley. The
police at the time placed no credence in
the Celestials story, chiefly because he
could not talk inteligibly.
This morning it developed that the
"Chink' had really been robbed and the
highwaywoman had jumped town.
Night before last Walter Bummey Of
Jefferson county was held up by two wo-
men, supposed to be coored who robbed
him of his pocketbook containing s23.
Both of these robberies were actual hold
ups of pedestrians walking the streets
and attending to their own affairs.
The story was given to the chief Of
police this morning that Jew Jess, Annie
Condor and Swede Lii We're working on
the streets and had failed to leave town
as ordered. 1t wa salso stated that the
woman known as Jew Jess had disguised
herself as negro woman and was walk
ing the streets holding up men who had
the temerity or We're foolish enough to
visit the tough district with money in
their pockets.
Because of these reports and the actual
fact that persons have been held up by
women walking the streets. the police
will be ordered to arrest all women Of
that class found on the streets after
nightfall.
Ninety per cent Of the complaints Of
robbery that have come in to the sta
tion lately have implicated cOored wo-
men," said the chief this morning and
an especial effort will be made to rid
the city of these crea lures. There are
several white women who are more da~-
ing than the colored people. Most, if not
ALL OF these criminals have been ordered
out of town, but since I listened to re-
ports this morning | am convinced that
some of them are still here, either under
cover or working in disguise. 1t will be
the business OF the police force to gather
In all of the suspected persons again, and
this time make sure that they are placed
where they will not do harm to citizens
or visitors"

Detective Jerry Murphy received a
telegram from Chief Of Police John Hays
Of Kansas City last night stating that

Detective Murphy wired to Kansas
City yesterday asking If the man Burke
arrested there was the Burke wanted in
Butte for the murder of Missouri

The name Perry was given together
with full description of the murderer.
The ambiguous telegram received is
taken to mean that the Burke under ar
rest is not the man wanted in Butte.

CAMP OF GIDEON.
TRAVELLING MEN In ST. PAUL WILL
FIGHT THE MIDIANTTES.

A meeting was held last evening at the
Y. NJ c. A. rooms TO organize Camp
Of Gideon Several fTaters were present
to meet the representatives of the head
camp and a flourfshing local camp was
ORGANIZED.
The Camp of Gideon is travelling
mems organization, composed of Chris
tan travelling men all over the country.
They find the ScripturaI facts upon which
the order is based in the seventh chapter
OF Judges, in the story of the defeat of
the Midianites by the men of Gideon.
They. being specially chosen by God in
the peculiar manner that is so well
known. were the strength that was to
put the Mid:aniteS to fight and hold the
land for the Israelites. 1t will he re-
membered that, though the men were few
in number yet they accomplished a gre at
deal in carrying out the purpose of Di-
vine Providence. And the Christian
travelling men, though few in number,
banded together in the Camps of Gideon.
hope to accomplish much in the work of
today.
The organization is a comparatively
new one, being started at GAINESVILLE.
Wis, in 1892, but it has grown until at
the Pre- sent tine it has nearly 200 men,
bers and has local camps in several of
the states. There are over 300 GiieOnites
in the Twin Cities. The officers of the
national association are: S. B. Hill,
BeIott Wis, presiden.; Jonn II Nichol-
son. GAINESVILLE, Wis, secretary.
The badge worn by the members of the
society is very unique. 1t is a button, or
pin, upon which is the likeness Of a
pitcher with the fame of a torch just
visible above the mouth. This IS to rep
resent the pitcher with the torches inside
that the men of Gideon carried when they
went against the Mdianites, and is the
symbol of their strength.
The head camp officials hope TO have
very fourisllins local camp n St. Paul
and are working hard to that end. One
of them sad to the G. o last evening
that they were on the tracl of the
travelling men with as much energy and
determination as Gideon had when he
went against the Midianites.

.ABATE SMOKE NUISANCE
MAYOR SMITH TAKES STEPS TO
PROTECT HEALTH AND
PROPERTY
GENERAL ORDERS TO POLICE
Departments Of city Government
VIII Cooperate in an EndeavOr
to Make the Law
Effective

Steps to abate the smoke nuisance,
which at times hangs over st. Paul like
cloud, were taken yesterday when
Mayor Smith called upon Assistant Cor
poration Attorney Griggs and secured
from him promise to assist in the prose-
cution of those responsible for the nuis-
ance
That the abatement of the nuisance
may be general, orders will be issued IN
! few days to every patrolman in the
city lnstructing him to take note of the
! cl1inncys in his district and make minute
memoranda of the date and hour when
the same send forth their black volumes.
| This information will IN turn be furnished
the legal department and prosecutions
will follow.
The desire for reform in the matter of
smoke has been Of long duration, and the
/ determination to bring it to d finish came
yesterday when the city hall was assaiied
/ by the volumes of sooty gas that issued
from an adjacent chimney. It poured in
the open windows, filing the railways
! and literally coating the newly painted
corridors and rooms with a sooty sedf-
ment While the nuisance is general all
over the city the vicinity of the city hall
| is perfect play ground for the black
clouds that pour hourly from the tall
stacks nearby.
The city ordinance now contains a law
regulating the smoke nuisance, but for
some reason convictions under 1t have
been unavailing. The procedure now will
be to arrest and prosecute on the charge
Of maintaining nuisance.

FOLLY 0F ELEVATOR LAN
IF BOYS WE'RE EXCLUDED RIGID
TEST OF MEN WOULD BE
USELESS
DISCUSSED OPERATOR TALKS
Examinations at City Hail. Are Prov
ing "a Failure and the Men
still Enter Pro-
tests

About sixty elevator operators appeared
at the council chambers last evening to
take the examination that has been re-
qured before the issuing of licenses.
The operators of the city do not seem
to take kindly to this departure and there
are still over 100 OF them who have not
appeared. A number have determined to
ignore the examination and test the
validity of the law. A noticeable feature
of last nights applicants was the fact
that nearly half of those examined were
boys, many of them apparently under
eighteen years of age. In speaking of
this, one of the old operators remarked:
eff the city officials were more par
ticular about the age limit, the necessity
of examining the men would not be so
great. All over the city boys, and some
of them very small, are being hired to
run the elevators. They are naturally
! much more carele SIS than the men and as
a result they frequently cause acct
dents. They do not handle the machines
as they should and very often their minds
are occupied by things more interesting
to youths than elevators. Not only are
boys more careless. but their services
can he gotten for much less than man s
and as a result the pay has been great
ly reduced"
In several instances the employer has
! showed up with the elevator man and was
prepared to pass the examinar on for
him. They were detected and refused
participation in the examinations Much
trouble has been experienced by the for
eigners who could not read or write
English. Some gave up in disgust, but
the majority had the question translated
and answered them in their own
language. There was one old colored
man who has run an elevator in one of
| the local Office buildings for years, who
is neither able to read or write, yet is
perfectly able to run an elevator. He did
not attempt to take the examination last
night. He VIII probably be given an oral
test.
