 And now, may those of that immortal sisterhood who finger here yet awhile. may their successors-the fair Daughters of the Confederacy-may they be forever assured that their gentle, devoted. per- sistent remembrance of Lee and his fol- lowers, touches deeply and falls grate- fully upon the hearts of the Confederate veterans, gratefully, even as the rays of the morning sun glisten through the dew drops which the sad night hath wept.

MESDAMES WEST AND SIMPSON COMPLIMENT
 MISS MABSQN.

A beautiful compliment to charming woman was the lovely card party at which Mrs. John West and Mrs. George Simpson entertained on Friday afternoon in compliment to their aunt Miss Mabson of Union Springs, at the home of their parents Mir. and Mrs. T. H. Mabson on Court Street.
 Three connecting parlors and the recep- ton hall were thrown open for the occa- sion and lavishly decorated in as many schemes. The hall was in red drapings of art paper and red shaded lights with red carnations giving the color. The first of the three apartments was in light pink, art paper lights and hyacinths being used. The second was in deeper shade of pink, and pro- fusion of dainty potted greens were used with geraniums and hyacincths. In the third blue was the tone used and the result was particularly effective. The flowers in evidence here were Japanese lilies.
 The score cards were passed among the guests by Miss Frances Browning West and Master Thomas Mabson West, little children of Mir. and Mrs. John West.
 The friends who kept score were: Misses Lizzie Durr Fitzpatrick, Clara Ellen Forbes. Leona Stucky. Josie Hub bard.
 The first prize. a lovely china tray, was won by Mrs. William Preston Screws, and the consolation prize fell to Mrs. Effingham Wagner. It was sh ex- Quisite tall. clear and gold glass vase.
 The guests invited to meet Miss Mab- son were: Mesdames Robert Chapman, c. R. Westcott. Frank Mcdonald. Effing- ham Wagner, B. B. Smith, Haywood Bartlett. Jack Thorington. w. P. Screws, A. G.

CAPT. SORENESS TRIBUTE
 TO SOUTHERN HEROINES

At the Lee memorial exercises Tuesday night, Capt. B. H. Screws was especially happy in allusions to Southern woman hood during the great war.
 Captain Screws spoke in part as fol- lows:
 Ever glorious, immortal Lee; embodi- ment of Southern sentiment. of South ern honor and of Southern chivalry, we ne'er shall see his like again; but his memory is secure so long as it is nur- tured by the splendid women of the South. and especially by that Spartan band of matrons and misses. now. alas. so. rapidly passing away, who endured

Inspectors Will Meet Here If Grain
Dealers Do.
J.N.BARNCARD BRINGS THE.WoRD
He II just Back From tho National
Meeting of Grain Inspectors
MT Philadelphia.

| ]. N. Barncard, deputy state grain in
spector in charge. OF the Minneapolis Of
fee returned this morning from Phil
adelphia, where he went as delegate to
the annual convention of the Chief Grain
Inspectors association, held Feb. 1S-l4,
and is, Sixteen delegates were in attend
ance throughout. AS there are but TWEEN
ty-two chief inspectors in the entire coun-
try from end to end. the representation
was very, satisfactory. The convention
did not go outside its province to attempt
any changes Of rules as to methods OF
inspection and 1t was the sentiment that
no recommendations be made. Mr..
fully entertained and every, man came
away feeling that great benefit lad result
ed from the exchange of views on sub
jeots concerning grain inspection, and the
forming of new acquaintances.
On one day the delegates decided on
some tests of Individual judgment in
grading. Various samples of grain were
submitted and every man had chance
at them, making his own grading secretly.
When the comparisons were made great
| surprise was expressed at the remarkable
uniformity. Some allowance had to be
| made for the differences in the state
grades established at various markets and
for the difference in judgment that might
naturally be expected between man

clusively that the inspectors are familiar
with general conditions in all primary
markets.

CUT OF oNE.THlBD
IN THE CUBAN SUGAR TARIFFS
Horace Earle, just Back From the
East, Says 1t Is Sure -s
to Come.

Horace Earleof the Arm of Earle & Bend,
Temple Court, returned this morning
after five weeks absence in the east.
He spent most of his time in New York,
where he talked with representatives of
sugar interests which are championing
the Cuban tariff reduction bill. He said:
1t is safe bet that Cuba will get tariff
reduction Of at least SO 13 per cent. The
friends Of the measure are fighting for re-
duction Of at least 90 per cent, and the Louisi-
ana planters and beet sugar interests, while
apparently not disposed to yield point to
the other side of the question, have really
conceded that a reduction of SO Is per cent
is the inevitable outcome of the present agi-
tation for free trade with Cuba.
Everyone who has carefully studied. the
question agrees that it is better to foster and
develop the industries of Cuba so that the
ton comes-and no one doubts that such is
the final solution of the problem-than to be
forced finally to bring Cuba under our domn-
Ion poverty-stricken and public charge.
There is q strong feeling in the east that 1t
will be better for this government to give
Cuba chance to become self supporting, II
the time Ia not now opportune for annexation,
and finally incorporate the island into the
union in peaceful way, than to be forced
to pay the penalty at the cost of blood and
| treasure which is sure to follow continued
hostile legislation. It is felt that the United
States is morally bound to at least give Cuba
| as good an opportunity to develop her com
merce as existed in the island under Spanish
rule. Conditions there now are infinitely
| worse than they were when tobacco and sugar
planters had the benefit Of SPANS treaties
with other countries " p

and it's purpose was to- celebrate their

CITY'S WATER SUPPLY
DISCUSSED. BY THE ENGINEERS
but Fails of General In
,dOrsement.

Speaking for his personal and profess
sional sentiments in the matter, DR.. Leo
M. Crafts declared before the Engineers
Club last night that the present plans IN
der way for the Improvement of the city g
water supply could at the best bring only
temporary relief, and that the future
source of water supply for Minneapolis
and St. Paul must be other than the Mis-
sissippi river. In his estimation, Mile
Laos lake was the most promising source
Of supply. While nothing better than ap-
proximate statistics yere available, he be-
lieved that impure water was causing at
| least 200 or ESQ deaths a year in Mime
apolis. DR.. Crafts urged the importance
Of moving at this time for the creation
Of a metropolitan water commission en-
powered to locate q future source OF water
supply for the two cities and to- take steps
to acquire sanitary rights covering the
whole watershed
City Engineer Sublette spoke on the ex-
pense of the Mile Laos project. 1t would
cost not less than $S,750,000, he thought
to get the water from the lake to the Min
neapolis reservoir. And there was no as
surance that the supply would be sufh-
Client at that.
! Professor w. R. Hoag of the university
said the investigations of Mile Laos as 9
source Of water supply had shown that
there was a present supply there equal tc
| about 100000 gallons a day. just about
enough to meet the maximum wants Of
the two cities. 1t might be possible tc
increase the supply by diverting the water
Of streams not now entering the lake OF
| by pumping from the mississippi river, not
| far away. He suggested as q new source
of supply the big springs on the east side
of the St. Croix river, Just above Taylors
Falls 1t has been claimed, he said. thai
their combined flow was not less than So.
100000 gallons "a, day.
| J. +. Tanning laid stress on the i'm
mense cost Of the Mile Laos proposition
He put the cost at not less than $500, 900
| He thought that with sedimentation ba
sins and filtration tho Mississippi rivel
water could be made to serve the purpose
admirably.
/ DR.. C. A. McOol1om and City Hnginee
sublette took the same view OF the case.
