W|PING OUT DEBT
OVER $4,000 RAISED AT MEMBER
SHIP BANQUET OF Y. Nj. c. A.
LAST NIGHT
FIVE HUNDRED GUESTS THERE
County Attorney Kane Delivers an
Eloquent Address on Struggles
and Growth of the Associa-
tion-0ther Speakers.

At the biennial membership banquet Of
the st. Paul Y. M. G. A. held last night in
the Ryan annex, members of the associa-
ton pledged themselves to give $1,000 in
the next five months to help to clear away
the debt of the new association. The
banquet was attended by 500 members Of
the association, many of them accom-
panied by their ladies. 1t was a. most
successful affair from the time the mem
bers sat down to the long tables, upon
which everything good to eat had been
heaped, until the orchestra struck up the
farewell march.
This banquet was held in honor Of the
organizations of the Y. M c.. A. that have
been working to increase it's membership
and as the work of the Red and Blue
was SO successful, the banquet was a
pleasant event to all who attended. The
large ball on the fifth floor of the annex
was completely covered with long tables
and vacant places were not to be dis
covered at any time, either during the
banquet, or while the after dinner pro-
gramme was being given.
subscriptions Come Fast.
The taking Of the subscriptions was an
interesting affair. The members of the
reception committee were all supplied
with blanks which they took about the
hail. Rev. Daniel RAIDER, Of the First
Methodist church, first called for those
who were willing to subscribe SIS to be
paid in installments Of S. each month. AS
soon as a member signed blank for this
amount his name was read out and al
ways applauded. The $25 subscriptions
came in fast, and when they were ex-
hausted, the $40 subscriptions were taken,
and lien on down to S. When all the
subscriptions were in, there was some
thing over 5000, and it had not taken
more than half an hour. When the
amount was announced there was pro-
longed applause, and every person pres
ent felt that the deot bequeathed by the
old association would be soon wiped OUT
and the association could start about
building a home for itself with a clean
slate. The speakers Of the evening were

VINO left his mother with high Ideals IN
aspirations fer an upright and righteous

there had been no friendly hand held out
to aid him when he could have been

Fulfilling It's Mission.
Such conditions as these, he said,
brought the Y. M c. A. into existence,
and that it was fulfilling the mission in
life 1t had entered upon, he said, was
plainly evident by the number of young
men gathered before him. He said this
much from the moral point of view.
From the physical and mental stand
point he contended that the benefits de-
rived by young men who attended the
Z. M. e. A. were nearly as important
as the moral training they received. The
clean manly air of everything about the
\. nj. c. A., he maintained, could not
but have its effect for the good upon all
who were SO fortunate as to come in
contact with it, The library and read
ing rooms where all the high class liter
allure OF the day, was at the use of those
who desired to avail themselves of it,
was thing in itself, even if there was
nothing else, that recommended the as
ISOLATION forcibly to all thinking persons,
who recognized that in the moral stand
ard OF the youth was the strength Of the
nation.
To the young man, earning small sal
airy by hard and tedious labor, with his
days so fully occupied in making his
living that he has not time for education,
the night school Of the Y. M. c. A was
blessing the benefits Of which were al
most beyond the power of human express
sion. The men who have risen from
grinding toll to positions where they
could use their Intelligence and brains.
through the medium of the Young Mems
Christian association, were many, and
he never met one that could say enough
in praise of the medium that elevated
him in life.
Plans shown on Screen.

Rev. Mr.. RAIDER made some running re-
marks, explaining the diagrams OF each
slide, and when at last, the completed
building was flashed before them, the
members nearly went wild with delight.

and although not down on the pro-
gramme, was called upon for an address.
After explaining his position, the gov
renor said that he was used to it and
had prepared an extemporaneous speech
which he would deliver.
He began by assuring the members Of
the association that they were engaged
in a noble work, in helping to bring up
the young men to be good men and good
citizens. He congratulated them on the
progress they had already made, and as
sured them that they had his every wish
for the best success in the future. Upon
the young men of today, he said would
fan the weight of the country in coming
years, and the way in which this work
would be done, would depend upon how
the young boys grew to manhood.
To the officers of the association who
had given their time and labor to the up
building of an institution that meant so
much for the city of St. Paul, he had
no words that could adequately express
his thanks and appreciation For this
work there could be no payment as it
was too vast in size and too wide III its
effects.
Good Points of the Association.
The association appealed to him par
ticularly for the open and manly fight It
made against all evil, waging a continu-
GUS and unrelenting warfare every day
and every hour on all forms of vice, with
the banner of righteousness in deeds and
aspirations always held high in the air.
To him it was as a Christian, possessing
a strong physique, brains and muscle, in
telligence and courage, a living monu-
ment to the truth that there was no
temple too grand to contain the human
soul.
The great need of the present day, he
said, was for men who could think and
men who could act. The day of the re-
cluse, who fled far from the temptations
Of the world to live a life of holiness, Sc
cluded from the world, was passed, and
what the world now wanted was men
that would fight it In the open.
In the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton he found all this He found a rally
ing place, where members of every
church and denomination could meet
without bias or prejudice. and standing
shoulder to shoulder. irrespective OF
creed, to work for humanity. Here they
could all stand on the platform of .9sus
Christ, which was large enough to en-
brace all faiths and sects.
He warned the young men present that
ever yhour and day of their lives they
would have to battle with temptation
that would arise up hydra-headed on all
sides. He babe them never to lose cour-
age and firrnness of purpose in doing
what was right but to intrensR them.

ALUMINUM'S USES.
Where Extreme Lightness 1s Re
uufred 1t Has No Competitor.

Where Extreme Lightness Is Re-
auired 1t Has No Competitor.
For purposes where lightness Is de-
sired to the exclusion of considerations
of great strength and cost, aluminium
today has no competitor. In this great
field it stands absolutely alone, and Its
presence there transforms into possi-
bilities what were only idle dreams be-
fore it's arrival. The airship Of the fu-
ture will be built of the metal of the
future, and if we get the airship, as we
undoubtedly shall, it will be because
aluminium made it possible.
The metal has already been tried In
marine work, notably in the race of the
cup yacht Defender-but not with en-
couraging success. 1t was centainly
success in the case Of the Defender,
but that was an ideal case where ex-
pense did not count.
In practical work it is found too cost
ly as vet to compare with iron and
wood. Moreover, it has certain physi-
cal disabilities that are brought into
disagreeable prominence in salt water,
The metal is electropositive to very
high degree. That means that when
ever it is brought into contact with any
other of the common metals, In the
presence of any acid or alkaline mois-
ture, a galvanic couple is formed IN
which the aluminium is the metal at
tackled. In such cases it will corrode,
and rapidly. 1t is eaten away by elec-
trolytic action just as the zinc IN an
ordinary battery is destroyed. Even by
itself, without the corrupting COM
panionship of other metals, pure alum
inum will not stand salt water, al
though many of it's alloys are unaffec-
ted by it.
This, then, is the case of aluminium
against other metals, stated impartial
| ly. 1t is the metal Of the future.
1t is a metal as beautiful as silver,
almost malleable as gold, almost as
ductile as copper, as untarnishable as
tin, lighter than any Of these, and In
fnitely more abundant. 1t may be said
with almost no departure from scien-
tific accuracy, that aluminium posses-
ses, or can be endowed with, all the
properties Of these metals that make
them desira BILE to man, and surpasses
them all on two other points. 1t Is
markedly inferior to these only in the
features Of cheapness and strength, but
it is gaining ground every day in both.
The position of aluminium in I'M
portance and usefulness will be settled
on the eventful balance between its
merits and defects. That is natural
llaw, as applicable to a discovery as to

it is not true that he Jagged in his
class.
During the first three years of his
college course he did not take very
high rank, standing No. II at the end
of his junior year, but for all that he
graduated either No. 3 or No. 4. His
surviving classmates agree that it was
from want Of inclination rather than
lack of ability, that he did not rank
high during the fore part of his college
career. and they are also unanimous in
saying that with awakened ambition he
became quite the peer of any member
of his class in scholarly attainments.-

TOM REED WAS A GAY BOY.
Ex-Speaker of the National House
Had n Lively Time at School.

Ex-Speaker of the National House
Had n Lively Time at School.
AS one would naturally suppose from
the disposition he has manifested in his
mature years, Thomas B. Reed, former
speaker of the national house Of rep
resentatives, was not always a tract
able youth in his school days. He re-
Gently gave a dinner to his old college
class (Bowdoin), at which the chums
of 1860 were in fine feather.
The members Of that famous class
seem to bear charmed lives, for of the
55 who were graduated AZ years ago,
nearly 40 are still in the flesh and
many of them were delighted guests at
Mr.. Reeds dinner.
There was fun galore around the
big table, at the head of which sat Mr.
Reed himself. Of "reminiscences Of class
and college life there was no end and
the "boys" were still recalling them
when it came time to "douse the glim.'
When young Reed was in his f1f-
teenth year a great revival spread over
Portland. Many Of the boys got relig-
ion," and Tom was one Of them. He
joined the State Street church and be-
came an earnest student in the Sunday
school.
The statement has been made and
many times repeated that the women
of the church mentioned raised the
money with which Thomas B. Reed en-
tered Rowdoin college, with the pur-
pose of fitting him for the ministry and
that when he decided not to become a
preacher young Reed returned the
money to the good women who had
been so solicitous for his welfare.
The story has never been publicly de-
MED by Mr.. Reed, but this is as good
time as any other to say, on the best
of authority, that the story is not
quite true. THE fact is that the women
did offer Mr.. Reed the money, but he
respectfully declined it, and conse-
quently did not have to pay it back.
About Mr.. Reeds college life there
are no end of readable anecdotes. All
agree that ne never was suspected of
