In his personal character Senator Hoar
is entirely different from the contentious
disputant on the floor of the senate. He
is IA man of warm heart and loyal friend

y man is altogether good or altogether bad.
If he is IA friend to anyone he will go any
length to serve that person and do SO in
the most transformations way.
With the law ana politics as his chosen
professions, Senator Hoar has achieved IA
high place ana reputation I'm both, but his
greatest delight and some of his most last
ing work lie in the field of literature, his
torical research and antiquarianism. The
~happiest moments of his life are spent in
his library at his home in Worcester,
Mass. He has had it built adjoining his
cosy home and there has collected "A treas
ure of some 5000 volumes of the most care
fully selected books that his training and

He has a mass of historical documents

of the first bible published in America and

Doherty Immediately started out to dis

telling his troubles TO a fellow employe he
was enlightened as to the meaning OF the

AS an afIer-dinuer orator Senator Hoar
has a wide reputation, but in the evening
OF life he seldom accepts an invitation to a
formal dinner. He prefers the quiet of his
own hreside, or the companionship of a few
old friends at his own table.
He is adroit in the declination of invita-
lions to dine, as was shown recently in
sending his regrets that he would be unable
to attend a dinner of the Gridiron club. The
reason he assigned was this:

George B. Alton was reelected state
inspector Of high schools and A. w.

day afternoon. Their salaries were in
creased from $2,200tto $500 a year

dent of the state normal school board,
was given a seat as a member of the
high school board under@an opinion
from the attorney general Mr.. Morey
celebrated his admission to the board
by introducing a resolution which will
cause much discussion among the edu-
Gators Of the state. He proposes to
change the state law SO that high
schools, in order to receive state aid,
must give special instruction in the
common branches, 50 as to fit grad
yates for the state normal schools as
well as for the university. The
branches enumerated are reading,
writing, spelling. geography, artthme-5
tic, English grammar, United States
history and civil government. Under
a special law now existing schools that
grant this special instruction receive
aid amounting to $3.50 in addition to
the 81, 500 regular state aid. Mr..
the high schools to give this special in
struction, with the idea os removing
the criticism that high school grad
yates are weak in spelling, grammar
and other elementary studies.
The resolution, which is in the form
of recommendation to the legisla-
ture, was laid on the table until the
next meeting. This will permit it to
be discussed at the meeting of the
state teachers association in the hol-
idays. gE-t i. 81 % /.
The. board again declined to place
the school at Waverly, Mimi, on the
list OF those entitled to state aid. This
denial was voted last year because it
was believed that the district had
spent several hundred dollars Of the
aid in repairing the school building,
which does not belong to the district,
but to a religious society. This has
been denied by the secretary of the
board, but the aid will be withheld I'm
til the charge has been definitely dis
proved, as the district has no right to
spend any of the state money on
private property. The graded school
at Adams was refused state aid:.be-

STRONGHOLD GAME
New York Promoter Tries It
Using Name of St. Paul
Banker.
Said Banker Was Dead and Box of
~ Securities Was on the
- Way East. ~t~-s

John B. Conger, a, promoter, who
until three months ago, occupied an
office UP town in New York where
he was known as president and gen.
eral manager Of the National Carbo-
nate Engine company, has been ar
rested on a charge of grand larceny,
and a st. Paul stronghold figures in
the case. William Fl. Reynolds, a
wealthy broker asserts that Conger
obtained from him $40 by false pre-
tense, but it is alleged by others that
the promoter induced Cornelius Van
derbilt and others to invest in the
concern Of which he was the head to
the extent of from $4,000 to $4,000.
Conger had, so he declared, a patent
to use on railroads, and he maintained
that it would save rs per cent of the
present cost Of fuel.
About three months ago Reynolds
alleges Conger procured from him a
loan of $40 by telling the following
story:
MY aunt, Mrs. Upham, is expected
home from Europe in few days. She
and I are joint trustees Of the estate
of her husband, who was president of
the First National Bank of st. Paul,
MINI. A box Of securities has been
shipped from st. Paul by express to

is $40 express charges due. am tenn

turn the loan in a few days. I am to
receive $4,000 worth of the securities
in the box, but 1t cannot be opened
except in the presence of my aunt and
myself" !. 7 Fl
= Reynolds says he loaned the money
and upon Investigation later found
there was no such box of securities
as Conger described, and that the ex-
press company had not forwarded the
box to Conger. RI.

That One VIII Be Built :

st. Paul is to have cross town street
car line. Vice President c.. G. Goodrich
of the street railway company assured the
effect yesterday. West Seventh street
from Tuscorora to Smelling will be paved
next year without doubt. The council was
waiting to order the pavement until the
street railway double tracked the line
from Tuscorora west. This will be done
in the spring and will save property hold
crs lot of money as the company must
pave two feet outside the tracks.
This action of the city and of the COM
pany insures to st. Paul a good road to
the fort for freight hauling and prepares
the way for a cross ton inter-
urban from Minneapolis.
