AFTER THE R. R. AGENTS
THEY HAVE A 1902 CONVENTION
Plans for River Trip for Down Rtv-
.- err Teachers Being
Made. $50 2

Mayor Ames has joined with the con-
vention committee Of the Commercial
Club in an invitation to the National As
ISOLATION Of Railway Agents to hold it's
1902 convention in Minneapolis. The at
tendance at the annual gatherings is
usually about 500 Last years meeting
was held in Denver. Minneapolis has sew
eral friends on the executive committee.
An effort is to be made to enlist the
aid of the steamship lines plying the
Mississippi from st. Paul south in work
ing up large attendance from Missouri
and other southern states at the National
Educational convention. Indications are
that Missouri's delegation will be much
larger than that state has sent to pre-.
vious meetings. -
The hotel committee is not receiving sc
many replies as it desires to Its circular
asking householders to list rooms anC
apartments which they will be willing tt
let to delegates. Another circular viii
probably be issued within a few days.

HENS SPOIL EGG CORNER
BY SUDDEN FIT OF INDUSTRY
Chicago Commission Men Said to
Have Planned Clever
Corner.

Chicago commission men are said to
have set on foot plan to corner eggs. lG
is said they have been sending out cir
culars to the farmers advising them to
hold on to their eggs and wait for rise.
A report from ST. Joseph, Mich, says
that such circulars have been received
there and that in consequence farmers
have been storing their eggs. 1t IS
thought that this may be scheme Of the
egg buyer to get rid Of old stock. Com
mission men here deny that any such
scheme is being used by the local houses
and say they know nothing about any
corner in eggs. On the contrary, owing
to the warm weather, the hens are lay
ing eggs at a fearful rate. The result is
that the retail price of eggs in Mime
apolis has fallen 10 cents a dozen. 1t
there has been any such attempt to cor
ner the egg market, as suggested. it Will
undoubtedly be foiled by the sudden ut
of industry among the fowls.

Facts already more or less familiar to
the MAYOR were recited to his honor
yesterda morning regarding the re-
sort of Tom Watson, on First avenue

ton, until the storm blows over at
least, of the license. Last night
a gang of rowdies, men and women,
ENGAGED in a disgraceful fight in that

drunk there, they went forth to create
disturbance They succeeded In picking

closed the place for the nonce. Later,
Patrolman Erickson arrested one Of the
drunken women at Second avenue and
Third street. A gang Of drunken men
who were with her and another woman
set upon the officer and beat him brutally
The natrolman was compelled to drag his
prisoner into nearby building and Sc
cure help. Had he been forced to face
the gang in the open, salo Coionel Anes
this morning, he would have been "done
up:" He fought the crowd off by vigor-
ously welding his club, until assistance
| arrived with the patrol wagon. The same
gang, so Colonel Ames said, attempted to
break UP a meeting at Morgan Post hall
/ later in the evening.
The affair at Watson's was serious
one Two women set upon third in a
| quarrel over man and one fired a revolt
Eyer three times. Her shots went wide.
There were nearly 200 persons drinking
and carousing in the place and there was
great CONSERVATION. The fighting women
ran down stairs, followed by the bowling
mob. The bystanders separated the
women, one of whom was fourishing a
knife, just as the officers arrived. The
place was ordered closed for the night,
hut Watson said this morning that he was
open for business as usual. He was
called, to the mayors office after Colonel
Ames had made his report. Colonel Ames
says that If he has any influence with the
mayor the resort will be closed. No ac-

NO TROUBLE EXPECTED
Employing Machtnists Say Relation.
With Men Are AmicabIe.


& Propr1etors' Of Minneapolis machine shops
take little stock in a report of a morning
paper that renewal of last years differ
ences, which resulted in ten weeks strike,
is imminent between the machinists and en-
ployers. The machinists reported to have
appointed a committee of two to wait upon
the employers and endeavor to induce them
to reop.A discussion of the nine .hour day
II the committee should prove unsuccessful
it was said, the union would take such
action as the circumstances justified.
A. H. Strong, Of the Strong & NorthWay
Manufacturing company, says that SO far
as he has been able to discover the rela-,
lions now existing between the employers
and the machinists are most amicable. He
does not believe there is any disposition on
the part OF the machinists to reopen a profit
less discussion which was threshed over
thoroughly last year. If any such committee
was appointed by the machinists It has not
yet pnade itself manifest.

NOW WATCH 'EM /.
County Commissioners Will Do Some
Gratuitous Tinkering.


The county commissioners yesterday Sc
cured possession of the sheriff's bill over
which the Hennepn delegation has been
working and presumably will inject their own
ideas into it. If the bill will then be worth
passing remains to be seen. Just what bust
ness the commissioners have with the bill
Is not clear. 1t was supposed to have been
sent to Assistant County Attorney c. L.
Smith simply to have the amendments agreed
upon by the delegation properly inserted. but
somehow the whole bill made its appearance
among the county commissioners this morn
ing and they seized upon it with ayidity.
AS the bill is now in just the form the
delegation wants it and all the matters con-
tanned therein have been fully argued and
re-argued, there appears to be no good rea-
son for letting the county commissioners
tamper with the measure and it is under
stood that the delegation does not expect
any changes whatever.

way. The boy was not cut out for a
clerk, and though he performed salts
factorily the none too light duties as
signed him. he concluded TO give up the
work. Still with the idea Of writing be-
fore him and believing that dramatic
authorship offered the best inducements
to a beginner, he determined to learn
stage technique, and with that object
in view became an actor. His acting
was not a thing to be pointed TO with
pride In after years, but II gave him
what he wanted--a knowledge Of the
stage--which stood him in good stead

a piece OF small news, manifold 1t and
leave it at all the newspaper offices.

AIRING DOGS AS A TRADE.

There are thousands Of people who

not attend TO for want Of time If for no
other reason They do not care to In
trust these animals to the care of serv-
ants, who are not always so careful to-"
ward the dogs as the owners would
like them to be. In these cases the
owners are glad to avail themselves OF
the services OF young lady to brush
and comb the dogs and to take them for
their daily constitutional In the park or
elsewhere.
For looking after three dogs-brush-
ing them and taking them out In the
park-one London woman pays girl
80 a week. The work occupies about
an hour and half each mornlng-from
3 till l0;30. The girl is then free to do
the same thing for some other dog
owner, and she can often earn $40 a

It sometimes happens that she loses

Der OF patrons is secured. and the $40 a

pecially when II Is feminine one,
which can so dominate a large number
of persons of both sexes is necessarily
an interesting study. In order, however,
to understandingly consider Mrs Ting
ley II Is necessary TO go back some
years to the practical Inauguration of
the theosophical cult in the United
States.
1t has generally been assumed that
Nine. Blavatsky, a Russian woman of
massive proportions, was the founder
OF the Theosophical society In the Unit
ed States, which she always declared
was but a western branch. According
to her. theosophy Is as old as the hills
In India. She only introduced 1t TO the
ignorant west.
According TO Henry ]. Newton Of
New York, however, one OF the organ
izers Of the Theosophlcal society, at
whose house the initial meeting Of
those interested was held, there was no
thought at the time Of any East Indian
association. He declares that that
phase was migrated only after Nine.
Blayatsky and William @. Judge, the
former at the time the spiritual head
and the latter the president OF the so
clety, had made a trip to the East In
dies. Mr.. Newton was not warm sup
porter Of the Blavatsky pretension. and
1t appears to be his opinion that that
lady had shrouded theosophy in a veil
Of orientalism for no other purpose than
to impress her followers and attract
converts.
Mr. Newton certainly makes out a
good circumstantial case, for he pro-
duces the original draft OF the oath of
the theosophlsts signed at his house
The name II. p. Blavatsky appears
thereon in firm, bold hand immedi-
ately below the topmost one, that OF II.
p. Olcott, who was later 10 become a
thorn in the side Of the Blavatsky wing
Of the cult when dlssensions threatened
the very existence Of the body. Mr..
Newton's name follows a blank space
after Blavatskys This was left, Mr..
Newton declares, for the signature OF
Mrs. Newton, but that lady refused TO
sign, and the space was never filled.
However other facts may be. II seems
to have been established beyond posi-
bility Of contradiction that the The
osophlcal society had its inception at
the time mentioned by Mr., Newton--ln
the summer Of lS75-at the suggestion
of Henry NJ. Stevens, at that time an
editorial writer on the New York Mail
and Express In a very short time
Nine. Blayatsky, through that wonder
full personal magnetism which was the
admiration of her friends and the de-
spair Of her enemies, had become the
recognized authority on theosophy. Her
lieutenant was William @. Judge, man
Of much ability. But the affairs OF the
organization languished, and In 1879
Mr. Judge and Nine. Blavatsky made
their famous trip TO the East Indies
Upon their return there was renewed
interest In the society, which began to
grow at a rapid rate. Nine. Blayatsky
died in 1891, and Mr.. Judge, who had
