ftggemier Wods In st. Paul.

By plans which had been prear-
ranged, Frank Figgemier, ex-basebaA
pitcher and umpire, now q bartender
in Minneapolis, and Grace McLennon,
OF the same city, met in st. Paul
early yesterday forenoon and were
married by Court Commissioner
Gallick. After the marriage ceremony
had been performed the couple return
ed to Minneapolis to surprise their
friends, who knew nothing of the
plans to we'd.
The bride formerly lived in North
Dakota, but for some time has been
living in Minneapolis, where she met
the baseball player some time ago.
When the couple decided to get
married it was agreed that their plans
should be kept secret until it was all
over, and in order to successfully
carry out the scheme it was agreed
the prospective bride should come to
St. Paul on an early car and await
the arrival of "Figgy," the name by
which the groom has been known
among his associates for many years.
The bride let the secret leak out at
breakfast, but the plans were success
fully carried out and the couple was
married yesterday forenoon, return
Ing to Minneapolis Immediately after
the ceremony.
Few ball players in the Northwest
are better known than Figgemier, al
though he has been in the game but
little during the past two or three
years. He came to Minneapolis from
Des Moiues some ten or twelve years
ago, and for 4 number of years was
on the pitching staff of the Mime.
apolis team. He has also had con.
siderable experience as league um'
pire, and only last season oficiated

WhY,c0.T0 THE FAIR?
Some Good Answers to the Question
By IN Authority.

Some Good Answers to the Question
By IN Authority.
A firm believer in the Minnesota
State Fair answers the question,
"Why should the fair be visited?' in
the following happy strain:
The reasops why it should be are
too numerous to be named, bnt few
may be considered with profit. First,
brief holiday season'has been earned
by father, mother, and children
too, and to enjoy it is break in the
monotonY of general farm life that
will be amazingly helpful for many
days, even months, thereafter. It is
an opportunity to meet people, to see
things-animate and inanimate- that
sweeten life and broaden the view of
it; the world will seem the larger for
it, and the state, it's people, and even
the home farm, will possess a signif-
cance to many both new and pleasing.
Second, two or three days on the fair
ground, enjoying its abundant oppor-
tunities for study and recreation, will
be found an educational institution
and house of entertainment of mar
velous. potency as q strengthener of
mind and body. Hard work it may
be to see and do 80 much; but it is
different from the accustomed work,
and so it will prove restful ultimately.
If one has attended the fair once the
second visit will be the more bene-
fetal for it; and. so each succeeding
visit will be found more fruitful of
good than the last. Third, it is by
far the easiest and the cheapest way
to get acquainted with the state, its
productions, natural resources, chief
cities and it's people. One will know
more about and can talk more intelli-
gently of the state after q careful
study OF it's great annual exposition
of what lit possess and is doing.
Fourth, state pride should be power
full incentive to an annual pilgrimage
to it's fair, that it may be kept at the
head of the procession where it now
proudly marches. Fifth, the money
that comes into the state fair treasury,
in excess of premiums paid and other
legitimate expenses, is devoted to
making the grounds more attractive
to visitors, better adapted to the pur-
poses to which they are devoted, ,
provided with better buildings, and in
every way making them an object to
which all citizens can refer with COM
mendation and pride. Other reasons
might be named hut these ought to be
sufficient to fill he grounds during
the next fair as they never were filed
before.
The Fair opens on Monday, August
31st, with an address by U. S. Sem
ator Fairbanks, of Indiana. HALF

Anderson Not Poisoned.

Anderson UoS POISONED.
r After several examinations by local
doctors and physicians in the cities,
1t has been found that the stomach OF
Mic. Anderson, who it was thought

AR. SANDS CRUSHED
 BETWEEN TWO POWERS
He Loses His Place as Adviser to the
 Korean Government.

Washington, March 9.-A short TO- tice frcr Pekin of the resignation oi William II. Sands, son of Rear Admiral Sands of the United States navy, Of his position as adviser to the Korean gov crnment marks the development or an other phase Cf. the struggle that has been going on quietly but i:2cess2ntIy between Russia and Japan to control the policies Of Korea.
 Sands was appointed secretary of the legation at Seoul during Mckinley !. first administration. In 1899 he was ir- duced to accept the post of adviser to the Korean government. succeeding two Americans who had been eminently sue cessful in the same position, Messrs. Legendre and Greenhouse. Not long ago the Japanese government, desir- ing to increase it's influence in Korea, sent to that country q MT. Kato. skilled in diplomacy and finance. Very soon he had succeeded in connecting himself with the department of agriculture ami then became an adviser to the govern ment. displacing Sands, whose infu- ence had waned.
 The Russian government which had been watching developments closely at this juncture sent to Seoul Mir Alex androvitch, also a fnancier and a mar skilled in Oriental ways. He had been for some time stationed in Japan and was acquainted thoroughly with Korean Korea It is intended that he, too, shall

senators have said that they do not intend that the Alabama senator shall be subjected to undue physical strain in presenting his views.
 The senate committee on foreign re- laticns will not meet tomorrow to take up the Cuban treaty, but will do so on Wednesday. Quite q number of demo- cratic senators are opposed to the treaty. and while they say they have no desire to prevent a vote they intend briefly to present their views on the measure.
 The republicans who favor the treaty count on three or four more votes than the necessary two-thirds majority to ratify it. There is a probability of some discussion of constitutional right in the; senate to make a treaty affecting the revenues Of the government without the concurrence of the house of representa- tfves. Some opponents of the Cuban treaty have told members of the foreign relations committee that they think it is such m important question that the treaty might be delayed until the reSu- lar session of congress
 Others have suggested that there should be an amendment providing that the treaty should not become operative until it's provisions have been approved by the house. Some members of the committee think that much disputed cues ton ought to go to the supreme court and be settled there. It is the present intention Of the foreign rela- tions committee to press the Cuban treaty to Q vote as soon as the COlon- bian treaty is cut of the way.
