where she was attending college, that her.
genius had its awakening. When she
heard Nella Brown Pond read one even
lingo. it came over her that she had the
ability to do likewise, and in that moment
she resolved to study elocution. She went
to Boston after her graduation and en-
tered the Boston School of Oratory. Later
She studied under Miss Greeley of the
Greeley School of Elocution and Dramatic
Art, and after a two years course toured
the country with the Temple Quartet un-
der the auspices of the Redpath Bureau
Then she was placed at the head of a
company of her, own. in which capacity
she has achieved. remarkable and we'll

ton this morning at the capitol with a
large attendance. At least 200 filled the
hall of representatives. President H. r..

order to make good butter, they must
train themselves in butter scoring The
affairs Of the Dairy Record were outlined
and it's successful year reported =f$
The principal paper and discussion of
the morning was on "Buttermakers Lii
cense," which is" the paramount question
at this convention. Mr.. Sandholt laid
down the proposition that as the welfare of
the state depended in no inconsiderable
degree on the further success Of the
| creamery business, it was only just and
| reasonable that the state should control
/ the work of the buttermaker He sug-
gested the separation Of the dairy food
| department from politics, and closed by
moving that before asking the legislature
for aSlicense law, the matter of creamery
| inspectors be taken UP on the following
| basis: A commission Of five should be
designated by law, consisting Of the gov

| sity, the dairy and food commissioner the
dean of the school Of agriculture and the
professor Of dairy husbandry, whose duty

PETRUzzI As A PAPA
He Didn't Know the Fact Till He
Saw His Wife in
Court.
She Was There to Convict Him
Of Non-support, but
Failed.

When jacob Petruzzi was. brought into
the municipal court room this morning he
gazed about inauiringly and then took his
seat In the bull Spen to await his turn
at the bar. Several petty Offenders were
disposed Of but to Petruzzi the mills of
justice SCENE ed to grind with pitiful slow
ness. ,..s. 49, -5.s - . ..z-s -
Finally the quiet of the courtroom was
broken by the muffied cry Of a very young
child. Petruzzi looked up and his eyes
frightened as he half rose from his seat.
Far over in another corner Of the room he
discovered his wife. In her arms she had
a small, white bundle. AS ne looked, the
bundle moved spasmo6ically, and from 1t
came a repetition of the cry that had
aroused him. TlrAi Petruzzi knew he was
a father; and despite his unfortunate posi-
ton, he was the happiest and the proud
est man in the courthouse.
Up to few months ago PetruZz1 with
lived with his wife in this city. Then
they became estranged. She refused long
err to- live with him and so he went to
Milwaukee,. From there he wrote her
several letters begging her to come to
him but in vain. y " a.
Finally she wrote asking him to come
| to Minneapolis u He was oVerjoyed at
the prospect of seeing her. again and
hoped to be able to arrange everything
so that she would be willing to go back
to Milwaukee with him, but he did moi
| know the guile that was in her. for, when
he alighted from car, in this city, to &c
to his wife's home, he was at once ar
| rested by a private detective and taken
to jail on a charge of non-support.
l. His wife did not even tell him that q
child had been born; and he remained ir
| ignorance Of the fact until he saw the
baby in court this morning. On the stant
Mrs. Petruzi declared loudly that she
would not live with her husband and tina
she never wanted to have anything more
to do. with him. She said she had ceased
to love him. and wouldn't go back to hin
under any conditions. This put the non
support matter ON a very 'differe emit basi,

NOT DEAD YET
The Senate London Dock Bill May
Yet Come Up for Vote.

From The journal Bureau, Room As, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE recount Of
the vote shows that the London dock bill
was beaten by only five votes, 1877 to 1872.
This narrow margin is in favor of some
action on the senate bill, provided it can
be got out Of the committee. Representa-
tive Dick Of Ohio told Mr.. Tawney this
morning that the bill would pass if 1t
could be brought up again. The bill
which was killed was the ,iiouse bill. The
dock bill which passed the senate last SEES
sion is still in possession of the house
committee on interstate and foreign COM
merce which may report it favorably
Once reported favorably, the bin would &c
on the calendar and could again get before

unlikely to happen, but the friends of the
