IVeTs 4 Pond Pianos.


The New England Conservatory of
Music is about to move into its beautiful
new buildings on the Back Bay. This
is the largest school of music in the
world, and its pre-eminence among
American institutions has been conceded
ever since IL was founded in 1883 by DIR.
Eben Tourjee.
Twenty years ago, when the depart
ment of pianoforte instruction was being
developed, few Ivers i Pond pianos
were purchased. Since then, as the con-
servatory has expanded, there have
gradually been acquired 26S Ivers q
Pond pianos. With the expansion in
cidental to moving into the new build
ing, the board of directors of the con-
servatory have placed their order for 81
additional Ivers & Pond pianos, making
a total of 299.
Higher tribute TO this famous Boston
art product would be hardly possible
than 20 years continued patronage by
this most critical of musical institutions.

Special to The Globe.
MONTEVIDEO, Mimi, July 22.-The
false statements published concerning
Montevideo people, claiming they were
organized into a terrible mob to lynch the
negro who assaulted and, as he supposed
tice to this city should be contradicted.
The fire bell was rung Saturday morning
at 9 o'clock. Sheriff Chas. Hartley called
in the name of the state for all citizens
to aid him in capturing the negro. All
able bodied. courageous men obeyed at
once, armed themselves with shot guns
and rifles and commenced the search.
These men were organized and stationed
at all points on the various roads and
not escape in the night. Many of them
remained at their posts until Sunday
morning and did not know that the negro
had been caught at Milan or that he was
on any train, consequently the crowd that
was at, the depot was merely a lot of
curious boys and possibly a few crippled
old men. This crowd is described in the
daily papers as "a terrible mob at Mon
tevideo." 1t is true that Sheriff Hart
the chances of bringing the negro to the
county jail. as it was possible that when
the several hundred negro hunters should
get back to town mob might have been
organized, especially after the negro had
made a full confession.
AS to the mob driving the negroes out
of Montevideo this movement was all
who were classmates and personal friends
of Helen Olson. They threatened no vio-
lence. simply asked the rev negroes to
leave the city and they did. A crowd of
school boys anywhere might act the
same--under similar circumstances.

DEBTS TO THE STATE
ARE A FIRST LIEN
Bankruptcy Proceedings Cannot Clear
the Bankrupt.

State officers generally are much
pleased with the decision of Judge
Gray, of the Hennepin county district
court, in the case of George Matchan,
in which it was held that the United
States bankruptcy act is not effective
to the extent of cancellation of in
debtedness to a state, or in this case,
the state of Minnesota.
This ruling is of great Importance
to many branches of the state gov
eminent, since the state is engaged in
the binder Irvine business to the ex-
tent of millions of dollars a year, and
constantly has in effect valuable min
eral and timber leases and stumpage
contracts, as well as bonds and many
other forms of obligations
Mr. Matchan was one of the bonds
men of the insolvent Farmers and
Merchants State bank, of Minneapo-
lis, and was held Jointly liable with
several others for an Indebtedness of
several thousand dollars. Subsequent
ly, he passed through bankruptcy, and
the action just decided was to deter
mine the status of his former liability.
The court took the ground that no act
of congress is so potent as to cancel
a liability Of an individual to a SOW
ereign state, and that Mr.. Matchen's
Indebtedness under the bond was not
affected by the bankruptcy proceed

His long residence in st. Paul. how

WILL RAIN CONFETTI
MARDI CRAS NIGHT
Unique Costumes and Gro
tesque Masks Wifi Be Worn
by Revelers.

st. Paul will do battle with 10000
bags of confetti on rrardi gras night
at the big summer carnival which will
open its gates to the public next Mon
day, July 27.
An order for that amount of the lit
tie circular disks of colored paper was
placed Yesterday with a well known
Eastern house, and it was further sup
plemented with a request for all the
unique costumes and grotesque masks
the firm could supply.
Mardi gras night, which will prob
ably be the last night of the summer
carnival, is to be turned into one big
frolic. Bags of confetti, which will
retail at and 10 cents each. will be
on sale at every corner and in the
grounds, While every person who par
ticipates will be induced to dress ap-
propriately for the occasion.
P. y. oGiesen has been given charge
of this feature and he promises to
make it a memorable, event in the his
tory of the Sanity Citya He will have
quarters on the carnival grounds, and
will have personal charge of the sale
of confetti and costumes.
Monday the big carnival opens. and
the event will be heralded in man
ner that will be in keeping with the
occasion. A monster parade has been
planned for the evening, and the lead
ing feature of it will be the fire de-
partment.
Chief jackson, who is a member of
the st. Paul Carnival association, now
has crew of men at work decorating
the department apparatus, and, in or
der to make the affair look as realistic
as possible, has practically cornered all
the red fire in st. Paul. This will be
burned along the entire line of march
and the steamers will send it up in a
lurid glow from their smoke stacks.
Today the major part of the working
force and the headquarters of the Of
f1cers and various committees will be
moved to the carnival grounds at Ce-
dar and Ninth street, where the build
ings erected for administration pur-
poses will be occupied. Some of the
officers will still continue to hold forth
at Sixth and Cedar street, but the bulk
of the administrative business will be
transacted on the grounds from now
until the close of the fair.
The grounds, which extend from
Cedar and Ninth streets to the new
ball park, present a busy aspect. Those
who have taken booths in the Indus
trial street are now preparing them for
occupancy Some of them will be dec
GRATED extensively and in several in
stances the displays will be elaborate
kilograms received yesterday by
President H. C. Schumacher assure the
arrival of the Jabour Circus and
Amusement company next Saturday in
time for the opening. At the request
of the local management, many of
the features presented at the Mime
eapolis carnival by this company have
been eliminated and new attractions
substituted. These attractions will
i appeal greatly to the women and chill
dren. ~

The reading of the examination pa

be done by seventy-five readers, who
have been appointed from among the
teachers of the state, many of whom
have done this work before. Hereto
fore it has been customary to use
from 125 to $50 readers and the work
was done in the senate chamber of

year only the senate chamber will be
at the disposal of the department, and
for that reason the number has been
cut down.
