HERE is gem which every man
and youth in the land should read
and read again, then paste in their
hat and read 1t every day: BE.
ware how you speak of a woman :
character. Think how many years
she has been building it, of the
wounds received, of the tolls and
privations endured; and be not
suspicious. The purity of woman
is the salvation of the race, the
hope of future greatness and
the redemption of man. Wipe out
her purity and man sinks beneath
the wave of despair with not n
star to guide his life into a channel
of safety, Think, then, before
you speak, and remember that any
hog can root up the fairest flower
that ever grew, so the yilest man
can ruin the purest character.

PROUD old CHARLEY
He Met Death Alone Rather Than
Ask Help.
THE BODY FOUND INABARN LOFT
dOing-Was Intoxicated When
Last Seen.

Alone and with relatives and friends in
the city, unaware of his sad condition,
Charles Flanders, SO years old and for
more than 80 years resident of Mime
apolis, died last night of inanition and
cold in the loft of a barn at the rear Of
Sc Western avenue The body, wrapped
only in small canvas horse blanket was
found about o'clock this morning by
Patrick Smith, potato dealer, 613 First
avenue ~ for whom Flanders worked
during the summer. Smith and two of his
peddlers went to the barn to start the
teams on their rounds, when they
stumbled onto the lifeless form.
"Old Charley" as he was known about
the market, had been peddler for years
He was addicted to the use OF liquor and
is said to have been under it's influence
when last seen in a Sixth street saloon
yesterday afternoon. AT that time he
complained Of feeling i'll and friends urged
him to go to the home of his brother
William G.. Flanders, a car repairer in the
Milwaukee shops, at 231S Eleventh avenue
S. Being without money and ragged, the
old mans pride would not permit him to
let his relatives know Of his needy con-
dition, or ask them for aid. He left the
saloon about O'Clock in the afternoon
He seems to have gone to the barn where
his work had taken him so often, craWled
into the loft and endeaVored to keen warm
by wrapping himself in an old blanket he
found about the place.
Mrs. H. B. Backgren, who lives at sc
Western avenue, alleges cruel neglect on
the part of one Of the young men employed
by Smith. She says that when she was
told about the discovery of the body this
morning, she asked one of the peddlers
for Smith when Charley was last seen
He told her that he went to the barn last
night with his girl'' and a friend, who
watched him feed the horses. This was
about O'Clock. He saw old Charley
cuddled up in the blanket in the corner
of the loft. The old man then seemed to
be suffering, but the young fellow told
Mrs. Backgren that he thought 1t the ef-
fects Of another Jag" and so left him to
sleep it off. Mrs. Backgren says the neg
Iect was wanton and inexcusable. Had the
young man informed her or 'phoned the
police, she believes the life might have
been saved.

BOTH TOOK POISON
Mother and Son Clasped Hands and
Awaited the End.
MOTHER DIES; SON MAY RECOVER
They Left a Formal Statement Attri-
buting Their Act to Present
Social Conditions.

Mrs: Sarah Nordeman, aged ga, and
knute Bjorge Nordeman, aged "a, mother
and son, took morphine powders Saturday
night at their room, 256 Thirteenth ave-
nue. S, with suicidal intent. The mother,
because of her advanced age, succumbed
at $3.50 yesterday morning The son,
however, because Of his strong constitu-
tion, will probably survive. He was re-
moved to the city hospital where he is
gradually throwing off the influence of the
poison. He is unconscious most of the
time, and during frequent sane intervals,
he reiterates his desire to die. At those
times, apparently realizing that his at
tempt to end his life has been a failure,
he raves violently.
In long and carefully prepared letter
"to whom it may concern Mrs Norde-
man and her son enumerated many
reasons why they did not care to live.
Both were well deucated, Mrs Nordeman
being the wife Of a prominent Norwegian
educator, and the son having been for
four years a student in the University OF
Texas. While there, the young man s
chief study was Of modern society. Both
mother and son were dissatisfied with
present conditions in this world, and their
ideas were Identical In the letter they
expressed their knowledge that their
ideals were too high for this world and
where realization was impossible. They
also expressed their belief that in the
next world the arrangements would be
more to their liking.
Having arrived at this conclusion
latter mature thought and deliberation, "
they decided to close their existence
Saturday night the mother lay on the bed
in their little room, and the son drew a
chair near her bedside and sat down
Each then took the morphine powders and
then they clasped hands. In this posi-
tion Mrs. J. B. Johnson, with whom the
Nordemans lived, found them Sunday
morning. She tried to arouse them and
was partially successful She called a
physician, DR.. A. F. Latz, and the boy was
sent to the city hospital. The mother
was cared for at the home, but medical aid
could not save her She passed away yes
terday during the forenoon, and the body
was removed to the morgue

RIPPLE IN WALL ST.
Caused by Gov. Van SAINTS Declar-
alton on Northern Securities Co.
DOUBT AS TO WHAT HE CAN DO
Evaded the Laws of
This State.

Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota was
the whole thing in Wall Street to-day for
a few minutes. When trading began on
the New York stock exchange the news
item of most Importance was the one to
the effect that the governor of Minnesota
had announced his intention of getting
after the Northern Securities company,
the newly organized corporation which is
to take over the securities of the Great
Northern-Northern Pacific combination.
Some nervousness was shown at first and
an easier feeling developed in these stocks
but there was no decline worth noting.
Local houses with stock exchange connec-
tions had the Van SAINT matter in their
first items over their private wires. Wat
son had message from New York to the
effect that the announcement had thrown
slight chill over the whole market. In
none Of the messages was there any at
tempt to analyZe the probable effect of the
threatened legal attack
From the general tenor of the dis
patches it could be gathered that the Wall
Street men were surprised by the an
nouncement and not little mixed. They
seemed in doubt as to whether to see it
as a monumental bluff or, as a possibly
serious matter that might have. to be
reckoned with later.

A SEASON OF LITIGATION
}. w. GRIFFIN GETS GOOD TITLE
He Says Conditions at Nome Are
Now More Favorable to Hon
est Mining.

James w. Griffin returned this morn
ing from Nome where he went early in
the spring to superintend the working of
a claim, only to have his time almost en-
tirely taken up by vexatious though sue
cessful litigation. Though interested in
some ninety eight claims, Mr.. Griffin had
arranged TO work the most promising one
but it's value was such that it attracted
the ubiquitous jumpers who it is esti-
mated took out fully 100000 before they
were finally dispossessed. Gaining COM
plete possession early in September, Mr..
Griffin only had time to construct a ditch
to bring water to the claim, when win
ter set in and work had to be abandoned
for the season. He had to remain at
Nome later than he expected to defend
himself from a charge of assault brought
by the men who had been elected from his
claim. The jury in this case was hung
six to six, which as Nome juries go was
a victory for the defense.
According to Mr.. Griffin, conditions at
Nome are now favorable to mining in
Vestors. The passing Of the beach opera
tions has shut out the small rocker man
but good ledges are being located and big
placer propositions are paying large divi-
dends. The great handicap for that dis
trict is the malodorous condition of affairs
which has made so much litigation neces-
sary to establish titles. Capital has come
to regard Nome investments as risky,
even with pay dirt in plain sight, but Mr..
Griffin says that the administration Of
justice by Judge Wickersham is result
ing in good protection Of property rights.
Among the larger operations at Nome,
Mr.. Griffin maintains those of E. w.
Backus of Minneapolis, who is interested
in the construction of thirty mile ditch
to bring water close to the diggings The
plan provides for head of water suffi-
ciently high to permit of hydraulic min
ing with giants. The ditch will carry
nearly half the volume of water that
passes over St. Anthony falls at the or
dinary stage, and it's operation will not
only enable Mr.. Backus to work his own
claims to advantage, but will afford him
a large income from water leases to other
claim owners

AGAINST RUMMAGE SALES
Rev. l.. III. HaIIOck Thinks Churches
Should Not COuntenance Them.

Rev. DR.. Leavitt H. Hallock preceded
his sermon last night at Plymouth church
with rebuke to the modern methods Of
raising money for the church as instanced
in the rummage sale. He expressed the
hope that not another should be seen in
the church
DR.. Hallock described the inception Of
the rummage sale when the women of
the congregation brought to the church
the old things for which they have no
use, to sell to the poor This is called
Christian charity. The unwholesome, IN
sanitary and unsightly things, not fit to
be touched at home, are brought to the
church, worked over made to appear re-
spectacle, and sold. Said the doctor: ct
is a bargain counter, junk shop, and I
sincerely doubt whether the church is the
place for junk shop or a pawnshop."
