Asks for LEGISLATION.

]. P. Temple, Of Morristown, spoke
on the Legislation Needed for Fourth
Glass Offices" He saif that in gem
eral such legislation isineeded as will
enable postmasters to give the patrons
first class service. which they may
reasonably demand and to which they
are entitled.
"Our. laws should be such" he said
"as will enable each employe, so far
as may be, to receive equal paw for
equal service rendered. taking into ac-
count the responsibility of the per
sons employed in the different offices
and locations. 1t would seem lust to
allow postmasters an additional 10 per
cent in the stamps cancelled and extra
help should be provided where neces-
sary."
w. q. Easton, postmaster at Still
water, spoke on "rhe County system
of Rural Free Delivery" AS this coun-
ty is the first in Minnesota to have
such a system, Mr.. Easton is quite en-
thusiastic on the subject. Among 9TH
er things he said:
"When this system is fully in OPERA
ton in Washington county practically
every resident will have the benefit Of
free delivery of his mail at his door
every day. There may be one or two
exceptions, but every person in the
county will be able to get his mail by
going not to exceed half mile"
Several persons who were to have
made addresses were unable to be
present, and this materially curtailed
the time required for the business Of
the association. and it was enabled to
close the convention yesterday instead
of holding two additional sessions to-
day as originally announced
The afternoon session was opened

that the total receipts with the amount
on hand at the close of the previous
year announced to $243.53. and the dis

Old Officers Are Elected.
A committee on nomination of Off
dent, as follows: w. D. Joubert. Litch-
field; v. Tillrupp, Albert Lea, and w.
q. Strom, Hector. Just before the
final adjournment the committee re-
ported recommending that the present
officers be reelected. The report was
unanimously adopted and the old Off
GERS were declared elected for another
term. ~.
After some discussion the convention
concluded that there Were too many
other attractions for the postmasters
at the safe fair and accordingly decided
to hold the next meeting ON the third
Thursday and Friday of January, 1903.
The place of meeting was left to the
selection of the executive committee.
The members of the association in
attendance yesterday were: w. r. Ed

SON = DR.. Ohage Hopes to Keep
Place Open Until Arrival of Civic
League Delegates.

Commenting on the free baths and
public grounds season which is about
to close in this city, DR.. Ohage yester-
day afternoon said:
"The greatest feature Of the year Is
the fact that there was not a single ar
rest on account of disorderly conduct.
Never was anything disorderly allowed
on the grounds. I have striven to
make people conduct themselves as
they would in church. 1t is the great
est place in the city of st. Paul."
Closing Depends on Weather.
Asked as to when the baths would
be closed, DR.. Ohage said:
"The closing depends on the wealth.
er, bat we are trying to keep the place
open until Sept. 18 so that the Ameri-
can Civic league may have chance to
see the baths in active operation"
The total number of bathers for the
season up to last night was 203,462, of
which 1918 were boys and men, and
1860 were women and girls. In 1900
there were 257,48Sv bathers and last
year 225. 800 The great falling off this
year Is due to the cold and rainy
weather.
DR.. Ohage estimates that there were
five visitors to one bather, which would
make the attendance for the year about
1,000.e00.
Income Is Large. $50
The total income up to yesterday was
$6,620.02. In 1900 $5,252.60 was taken
in, while in the following year the
amount was s4,645.62, showing that
while the attendance was smaller this
year than for any previous one, the to-
tai income has been larger.
The sale of refreshments accouAts
for the increase. The largest amount
taken in for single period of the year
was that Of Saturday and Sunday,
Aug. 1S and 10, the total for those two
days being $42S.
The working force has been reduced
from twenty men and twenty women
at the beginning of the season to seven
men and four women who are now
in attendance on the public.

Not an Imitation, but a Genuine
Romany Gypsy
| Gypsies were fortune tellers before
England was a nation. They have
been immortaliZed by great writer's in

masse on a platform before the tent,
groWls, barks, shrieks and gives Indian
war whoops through q tin megaphone
in order to attract attention.
When the sample chorus Is on the
barker projects libel on the late Pro-
hay fever tenor through the mega
phone.
Meantime the "spieler" at the next
tent invariably turns loose on a big
gong which he beats deafeningly until
the megaphone tenor Is the only voice
in the chorus that can be distinguish
ed by the crowd.
Perhaps it is just as well.
Have "Dirtiest Show on Earth"
In front of the Canadian giants"
abode two barkers are required. They
make their talks principally on the
mammoth shoes of the freak inside and
each holds one of the gigantic pedal

Unless that giant is in the neigh

the supposition is that the pair Of
shoes exhibited must be rather loose,
to say the least.
There Is the largest horse in the

few short hours and then what is alb

This the exhibition of the Cuban mud

OF course there are "spielers' and
megaphones at all of the attractions"
but the discourse in front of the mud
eaters" tent, wherein is a family of
three "who exist on nothing but mud,
live in mud, dance in mud and even
sleep in mud" And the best-or per-
haps the worst-of it is that the show
inside bears out the statements of the
"spieler," although the Cuban mud
eaters bear suspicious resemblance
to Tennessee dockwallopers.

FREEMAN p. STRONG ASKS
SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE
Son of Late Charles D. Strong Acquires
Titles of Other Beneficiaries.

Freeman P. Strong, son of the late
Charles D. Strong, senior member OF
the large hardware firm Of Strong &
Hackett, and who left an estate OF
$10S,000, has asked the courts for a set
tlement of the account of the st. Paul
Trust company with the beneficiaries
under the will whose titles to the trust
fund he has acquired.
The estate consists of $89,110 in cash
and the balance is in securities. It was
placed in the hands of the st. Paul
Trust company as trustee, according
to the provisions of the last will of the
deceased, who died in 1890.
The funds of the estate still remain
in that company's possession excepting
$12,529.17 already paid over and an adj
ditional sum of s1,S01.2O as interest.
Mr.. Strong also asks that the account
be adjusted and the trust fund as
signed to him.
