tack Upon Lord PauucefOte.
 Joliet, H., March EEK Governor John P. Altgeld died in the Hotel Nun roe at 7:09 o'clock this morning of the stroke of apoplexy which occurred last night while he was speaking at a pro Boer mass meeting in the Joliet thea ter. MT. Altgeld was the principal speaker at the meeting. Just at the close of his speech sudden dizziness seized him and he was assisted from the stage. The meeting proceeded, the audience not realizing what had hap pened. MT. Altgeld was taken to the door of the theater, where several vom- iting speels seized him. This continued for nearly an hour. Physicians were summoned and he was carried to the hotel across the street. He was con- scious then and urged that news of the attack be kept from his wife. Just be- fore midnight he became unconscious, and remained in this condition until death
 MT. Altged, in the speech which was fated to be his last declared that all friends of humanity owed a debt of gratitude to Governor Yates for issu- ing proclamation soliciting assistance for the Boer women and children in the concentration camps which the British are maintaining in South Africa. He said that the people of America had raised a large sum of money with which to relieve the distress of the Boer wo- men and children, but were unable to send it to them because Lord Paunce- fote, the British ambassador at Wash- ington, objected to it. He also charged that Lord Pauncefote had for years meddled in American affairs.

"A MERE REPORTER"
,Tyvas in This Role That Riis" Started
Reforms.

-;
"The Power of the Press. is an old
phrase for sonnet thing that it is rather the
fashion to make light of nowadays
Everybody thinks for himself, it is said;
newspapers no longer mold pubic opln-
ion. But even if that is granted the 1act
remains that not everybody can get the
news for himself. Therefore the data
for thinking about current attalrs must
come through the press.
Jacob A. Riis, the famous, New YORK
police reporter, municipal retormer ana
author, who is to lecture in Minneapolis
next Monday evening, has fully demon,
strated how much a 'mere reporter,
without any particular backing, even
from his own paper, can accomplish by
means Of his news reports. Just by de-
scribing things as they are and exert
ing himself privately to get some one to
make CODY by s.standing for" his ideas
and schemes for reform, Riis succeeded
in effecting reforms and improvements
under the most discouraginlg :, circu I'M.
stances. .
Mr.. Riis comes to Minneapolis in the
Y. NJ c.. A. popular entertainment course
and he is to lecture on subject that IS
part Of what has been his life work,
f.sThe Battle With the Stun" This lee
ture will contain much that is OF the most
intense interests they know who nave
read any Of Mr.. Riis' books. Mr.. Riis
ENJOYS the esteem and confidence Of
President Roosevelt, the two having
worked together to the same lends while
the president was New York police

The sale of seats for Miss Clara Morris
lecture at Plymouth church Saturday
evening will. begin at the Metropolitan
Music store tomorrow morning.
Miss Morris topic is to he '"The Stage
and the Actor" 1t is one that. will ap--
peal to large number of persons. She
was for many years the most conspicuous
woman on the American stage. During
that time the number of her admirers was
legion. When poor health compelled her
to retire from the stage they still retained
their interest in her The announcement
that she was to be seen once more in pub
lie as lecturer on the life she formerly
experienced was hailed by them with de-
light. The general public is interested in
the lecture, too, because it is something
novel for. the actress to have the oppor-
tunity as well as the talent to appear as
lecturer on the subject of the stage and
the actor.
