PUBLIC BATHS DRAW
ENORMOUS CROWDS
In July 1o5,633 People Enjoy Cooling
Dips-Receipts Are Very
Heavy.

How many people in a season enjoy
the delights of dip in the roomy pools
at Harriet island can be fairly eSti-
mated from the statement that last
month the number reached the enor-
nous figure of 105,633. Of this no few
err than 23,955 were women. The re-
ceipts tota1ed $2,776.61 During July a
year ago the number of bathers were
109,005, of which 1888 were males and
1910 We're females. The receipts, how
ever, were only $2,167.79.
While the figures fail to show it, July
of this year was more prolific in bath
ers than any period during the history
OF the institution, for the reason that
the business transacted was all crowd
ed into the last two weeks. The month
opened up cool, while hardly a day
passed without more or less moisture.
Last July was the hottest in the his
tory of the city and it prevailed nearly
every day.
One favorable showing this year is
the increase in the number of women
bathers and also the receipts. The lat
ter is due, in measure, to the increaS-
ed attendance, the heavy sale of re-
freShmentS and also the new rule eS-
tablished which limits the free use of
the pools to the youngsters during the
morning and early afternoon. The
evenings are reserved for the older per-
sons, and in consequence the number
who take advantage of it has increased.
Yesterday the number of bathers was
5,316, of which 1880 were women. The
receipts were $139.75. Next week the
island has been engaged for nearly
every day by picnic parties.

GOVERNMENT LOANS
MONEY TO FARMERS
Labor Commissioner Receives Interest
ing Document Concerning Sys-
tenn in Turkey.

State abor Commissioner O'DonneII
yesterday received an interesting doc
ument from the national department
explaining the system of agricultural
banks in Turkey. The empire of Tur-
key possesses an extensive system of
agricultural banks under the manage
ment OF the government, the purpose
OF which is to furnish small loans to
farmers, the capital being provided by
q light tax on farm property. Principal
agencies have been established in six
ty-hve cities, and there are over 500
branches in smaller communities.
Loans for the purpose of improving
farms and purchasing implements and
stock are made on satisfactory secur-
ity chiefly real estate. The rate of
interest is per cent per annum.
Theoretically, this system of banks
is an excellent one, but it's effective
ness is hampered by two cause.-the
formality necessary to borrow even
small sums and the acquisitions made
for forced loans from the capital OF
the banks by other branches of the
government.
The last annual report of the banks,
for the financial year ended March
ID, 1899, has just appeared, and con-
tains the following summary of OPP
erations:
At that date March Il, 1899 the
capital amounted to $12,642,O9O, Of
which "a per cent, or $10,619,355, was
loaned to farmers.
During the year the banks loaned to
90,536 individuals sums amounting to
$2,621, 400, an average of $29 for each
loan.
This average is forcible Illustration
of the humble scale upon which agri-
cultural progress in Turkey is based.
Over 96 per cent of the loans were
made upon real estate security; the
remaining per cent on personal
guarantees.

WEST SEVENTH STREET
PAVING IMBROGLIO
Hearing to Property Own
ers Today.

The members of the board of public
works are expecting a strenuous ses-
sion today when they will grant a
hearing to West Seventh street prop
erty owners on the paving of that
street, from Ramsey to Tuscarora.
Adherents of sandstone and asphalt
have already filed numerous petitions
with the board asking that their pref
erences be adopted, and it is expected
additional petitions will be filed today.
The board, however, says it is tired of
counter-petitions and hold-ups, and
whichever material has a majority of
supporters today will be selected.
The sentiment is general that if the
contract for the work is not placed this
year the property owners will never get
the benefit of the $4,000 appropriated
by the last conference committee for
street intersections. If the amount
lapses over into next year it will not be
reappropriated. The demands for
money this time will be so great that
everything not considered absolutely
necessary will be cut off.

MINNESOTA BOY WHO
WORKED FOR PRESIDENT
Charles A. Berrhick, of St. Cloud, Knew
TEDDY" When He Was a Da-

Charles A. Bernick, deputy county
treasurer of Stearns county, and one
of the best known men in the state,
was a caller at the state capitol yes
terday. Mr.. 4Bernick, although a mod
est young man, cannot escape the dis

when Mr.. Roosevelt was not so well

der of the Bad Lands in Dakota, Mr..
Bernick worked with and for the fu-

Mr. Bernick is a staunch champion of

as vice president, Mr.. Roosevelt visit

SECRETARY SHEPARD

Record.

Secretary Irwin Shepard, of the
National Educational association, re-
elected for another term of four years,
has selected a number of assistants
and is now buSily at work on the an
nual volume of the proceedings of the
association. Heretofore this volume
has been issued Dec. 1, but this year
he hopes to have it ready at least a
month earlier. There is a demand for
the book for study before the holiday
meetings of the various state aSsocia-
lions, and it is for this purpose that
the change is made. DR.. Shepard is
now checking up the papers and dis
cussions at the recent Minneapolis
convention, and all the reports con-
nected with the association.
DR.. Shepard says the actual enroll
ment at the convention was between
$500 and 5000. To this enrolment is
to be added some $500 active MEM
bers who have paid their dues, but
who did not attend the convention and
this will bring the enrolment up to
larger figure than it was at Detroit,
and larger than at any other conven-
ton except the ones at Los Angeles
and Denver
DR.. Shepard says that but for the
action of the railroad companies in
making cheap rates to Minneapolis
prior to the convention the enrolment
at Minneapolis would probably have
been the largest in the history of the
association.
He says the place FOR holding the
next convention is still open, notwith-
standing the reports to the effect that
Boston was to secure it. The execu-
tive committee will meet in October,
and wilt open negotiations with the
railroads as to rates. President Elliot
has already entered into correspond
ence with DR.. Shepard relative to Sc

The audience chamber of the board
of public works was filled with a strug-
Cling, gesticuIating, talking mass of
humanity yesterday afternoon. The
occasion was the completion of the
Lafayette and Collins streets and near
ly every one present had a word or
more of protest to offer.
The whole trouble was due to the
fact that the old board in arranging
for the payment of the work spread
the assessment taking in nearly every
street having an entrance to the paw
ed district. This was done on
the theory that the streets paw
ed were the main arteries of travel
and that they afforded egress and in
gress for the entire territory they trav
ersed. Outside of those who lived on
the streets paved the majority of the
assessments were IS and SIS, and few
of them exceeded SIS.
The property owners, of whom there
We're a hundred or more, gathered in
a compact mass in front of the railing
which separates the board from the
audience chamber and each We'd with
the other in denouncing what they
termed an act OF lnJuSIlce. everyone
talked at once, and it was only after
a vigorous use of the chairmans gavel
that order was restored. 1t only had
a partial effect, however, and the board
finally tired of trying to bring order out

that the assessment had been COM
pleted and an order given that it be

dirty set of robbers" was the parting
remark Of one woman, while another in
strident tones announced her intention
of having the law on youse."
The job of paving and the act of
spreading the cost was the work of
the old board, and the present board
could do nothing but concur in their
action. This fact, together with the
explanation that all those taxed receiv-
ed some benefit from the paving did
not satisfy the gathering. 1t is ex-
pected that trouble will follow the at
tempts to collect the assessment, as a
number of the property owners yester-
day announced their intention of ap-
pealing to the courts.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Ramsey County Federation of Cath
Ole clubs, held at st. VincentS church
last evening, Lorenzo j. Markoe, of
White Bear, president of the Ramsey
County Federation, was elected dele
gate to represent the Ramsey county
Catholic societies at the national con-
vention at Chicago Aug. 5. Twenty
eight societies were represented last
night.
Bishop Stariha was elected modera-
tor and Joseph p. Banks and j. S.
Harris, of st. Peter Claver Sodality
society, and A. Charbonneau, of the
L'Union Franchise society, were ad-
mitted to membership.
Joseph P. Banks and A. Charbonneau
were elected members of the executive
board. The meeting last night was
called principally for the purpose of
electing a delegate to the national con-
Vention.
W. F. Markoe, secretary of the Cath
Ollie Truth Society of America, was
present and read a paper on the or
ganization.
Objects of the Federation.
Explaining the meaning of Catholic
federation, Mr.. Markoe described it as
''the banding together of all the Catho-
lie societies of America, whether re-
hgious, charitable, educational, liter
airy, benevolent, for united defense of
Catholic truth and protection of Cath
Ollie interests, whether state, county, or
national" Indirectly it's objects were
as numerous as the societies it repre-
scented, but it made directly for the
mutual protection of all in it's aim to
defend Catholic interests at large. In
this age of trusts and enormous profits
therefrOm it was not hard to see the
advantages to be gained by united eff
forts in religious matters. Several in
stances were mentioned, one in which
the united protests of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians had secured the
withdrawal of an Objectionable history
from the schools of New England
state; another where certain German
Catholic societies had defeated legisla-
ton hostile to Catholic interests. Fa-
Their Wynne'S recent protest against
unfair treatment of Catholic questions
in Appleton's new Encyclopaedia, Co.
900 copies of which were circulated in
few days all over the country, was
mentioned as evidence that Catholics
were ready for federation since they
united so quickly in defense of the
truth at the call of one man.
He claimed that catholicity was the
only power that could unite all nation
aEities in any cause, and they could be
as closely united in the twentieth CEN
IOAy III AlIiSIlCd DIS IIl0y were III the

He sketched the history of fedora
ton, quoted the words of many Ameri-
can bishops in it's favor, and read a ca
blegfam from the pope to the last con-
vention giving his blessing to the work.
He concluded by eongratuIating the
Ramsey county branch on it's happy
thought" in taking the pope's encycli-
cal as its bill of rights" and declared
that standing on that grand platform
their position was absolutely unassail-
able. -.----.--.
