A proposition is on foot by a couple
Of our citizens to establish an electric
light and poder company, and is
meeting with much encouragement
from the business men and citizens
generally. They propose establishing
a power plant on the East Fork of the

mill and a distance of about seven
miles from town. The scheme is fea-
sitle and will be a profitable invest
ment without doubt The wonder is
that the proposition has not been ia
ken advantage of long ago. One of
the parties interested will leave for
the bay city in a few days to make

The Southern Pacific seems to be

the injury of half dozen more. 1t

DECLINE
OF SILVER
FlNANClERS ALARMED OVER
ITS MOVEMENT
The Blame Laid China's Sill.
YER Payments

LONDON, Nov. 26.-The continued
decline in the price of silver causes
considerable comment in financial cir
cles According to the best informed
houses it is regarded as being di-
rectly due to China's flooding the mar
ket with silver in payment of the in
demnity to the powers.
Prior to the recent disturbances
China was a large buyer Of silver in
London, but now the balance of trade
is reversed, and instead Of China TAX
ing silver in return for tea, silk and
other articles imported in to the Uni
ted Kingdom, she has to ship silver
in payment Of manufactured articles.
This alone, without the large indem-
nit disbursements, is considered suf-
ficient to account for the depreciation
in value of the metal. 1t is pointed
out that even if China paid the in
demnlIy in gold, the result would be
the same. as she would have to send
IHC SduIc 4udLIIIy Vi SILVER 10 EUROPE
in order to buy gold
The Chinese contention that China
should pay the indemnity at the higher
rate of exchange in force when the re
cent peace treaty was signed, finds
some support among the leading En-
elish houses who are not only al
armed at the prevailing conditions on
account Of their eastern trade but al
so no account of their large commerce
with India Rumors were rife recent
ly that this was the cause Ct the de
cline, but these find no crednce among
the larger Anglo-American firms.

The RABBIT

Indian Camps

The Indians of this city, who have
been cOngregating for a week and who
have also been laying in powder and
shot for the past month, made nigh
ty move against Sir Jack Rabbit yes
terday. They went out over hun
dred strong. The drive started near
the Indian school, and the Idians
spread out so as to take in a sweep of
| of territory over half a mile broad.
| They move in semi-circle and thus
drive the rabbits to common center.
The fusilade that started sounded like
real battle than aything that can
be described, and the fire was kept up
from an early hour Thanksgiving
morning until well into the afternoon.
! The line Of march took in the best
part Of this valley, as they came from
the Indian school to the Wine ranch,
circling all that end of Eagle Valley.
The men with a good sight are CIV

the guns were modern breech leaders,
lin fact, few of the old fashioned muz-
zle leaders could be found. The old

the proverbial Indian pony was not
handy, the old men acted in their stead
Many OF them returned early in the
day loaded down with the rabbits,
while the ponies carried loads that

over 1000 rabbits were killed during
the day, and as they weigh five pounds
on the average, it can be seen tnat the

= CLUB : WOMEN : Of =7THG : ZENITH CTTY

Duluth is a particularly happy field for
the cultivation of clubs. With all the ad-
. Nantages of a large city, with metropoli-
tan feeling and metropolitan people it
lacks a great deal of being as unwieIdy
IN get together" sense Social circles
! are not too wide to admit of a never
tagging interest in what goes on within
Shem. There is no ennui here There is
no suTfeit of frivolous entertainment. The
Zenith City hostess entertains, not too
. often, but exceedingly well She has
F.. therefore, time to look about her, to i'm
prove her mind, and, Indirectly, the
minds of those so fortunate as to claim
her acquaintance
So much for the society element-which
is strcng in the local club life. The Du-
. 1uth woman Of affairs turns with a spe-
. clai delight from the work which broad
ems and educates herAher daily work, to
the club wherein she can find the applica-
t1on of her garnered experience.
The Twentieth Century Club.
The local Twentieth Century club is
nothing less than q high class education
al institution. There is probably no otter
organization of it's scope in the state. 1t
is a department club, every branch of
which is separate, potent and distinct
The literary department has five subdi-
visions, a morning Shakespeare class, a
class in English literature, one in parlia-
mentaTy law and another which is just
now studying the poets of the nineteenth
century. This work is done conscien-
tiously by earnest students. Frequently
/. lecturers of national note are secured by
the club, and find surprisingly large and
appreciative audiences mere.
There is a cooking class, before which
. demonstrations are made. The way Of
. the chatting dish is the mode generally
discussed. There is a gymnasium class
of large membership. This is especially
attractive to women whose work is Sc
dentary. The club has no gymnasium,
. and the need of one is keenly felt. There
is also the Travel club department, a
new departure, and there is another
feature which finds special support
among mothers. 1t is that which takes
IN school work. Some of the local
teachers are taking enthusiastic interest
IN the work and a broadening knowledge
Sn the guise Of recreation will wait up
on the picture-loving, restive youngsters
of the city schools.
Mrs. w. S. Bishop presides over the
mothers class. Mrs. Bishop is a kindly
dlsciplinarian, and the fascinating study
of this department is Child Culture.
Working for Club House.
There are plans and rumors of plans
rife in the Twentieth Century club bear
ing upon its pet project, the building of
club house. The membership is large
and enthusiastic, the quarters are
The Saint Paul globe., 1902-02-09

braces in it's membership practically all
of the local club women and many of the
prominent society women. Miss Mary
Beaumont Statham is founder of the club.
She is now in Washington with her sis
ter, Mrs. Page Morris.
Ofhcers of the club are Mrs. J. H.
Crowley, president; Mrs. R. N. Marble,
Mrs. M. r. Baldwin and Mrs J. d.
Morrison, vice presidents; Mrs. H c.
Marshall, corresponding secretary.
The Saturday Club.
The most ambitious of the local organi-
cations is the Saturday club It is a use
full club-a busy club. and noted for the
earnestneSS and Singleness of purpose of
Its members. It's studies have been art
end engraving, literature and the con-
temporary history of art and literature
1t has a department of education which
gives an excellent programme twice a
year. Municipal improvement was made
a special study, with a view to keeping
before the public knowledge relating to
the enforcement of ordinances. This
work. however, has been absorbed by the
council. Members of the Saturday club
are workers. They meet every Saturday.
The club has raised $50 for the Louisi-
ana Purchase memorial. Mrs o. H ST.
monds is founder of the club, and Mrs.
j. L. Washburn, a prominent member
Miss L. Ella Rose is president of the
club.
Ladies' Literature Class.
In point of age the Ladies' Literature
class ranks first. 1t was established
eighteen years ago, and is the most ex-
elusive club in Duluth, with a member
ship limited to thirty. One must have
had special qualifications and an untiring
devotion to earnest work to become q
member. The class has devoted the last
two years to study of Roman history,
and will devote the present year to the
same subject. The class took two years
of heavy work in psychology, and delved
deeply into tones of Spencer and Fiske
and Mackenzie for hidden light. Emf
nent lecturers have spoken here under
their auspices. The literature class is the
best study club in the city.
The officers are: Mrs, E. W. Malten,
president; Miss Louise K. Noyes ana
Mrs. William R. BagIey, vice presidents;
Miss Lydia M. Poirier, secretary, ana
Mrs. A. H. Crassweller, treasurer.
