TWIN CITY LETTER
MASKING as a Fine Aria Minneapolis
Washer Edges up to a Strange Young
Lady and Receives Biff In the Jaw
Which Sends Him Sprawling in the
Gutter-Judge Flandrau'S Death.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

Justice is sometimes annoyingly
slow, and then again it gets in its
work with vengeance. An ex-
ample of the latter was furnished
recently on the streets of Mime
apolis when masher suddenly
found himself in the position of
mashee. To begin with, in all large
cities there are mashers-some OF
them chronic and some only in the
acute stage. A masher is a man
who depends upon the beauty OF
his form and the grace OF his man
ner, real or imagined, to make the
acq uaintance ofyoung ladies through
flirtatious methods. He is usually
youngish, generally wears high
collar, red tie, patent leather
shoes, has his trousers turned up
at the bottom, his hair parted in
the middle and plastered down on
each side with perfumed lard. His
forehead begins to retreat before it
reaches the ordinary altitude, and
when he buys a hat he is never
bothered to find one large enough.
He has a conspicuous smile which
he manipulates automatically, as a
bird manipulates it's plumage.
The masher stands on the street
corner, and when an attractive lady
approaches he draws his bewitch-
ing form into it's most stunning
position, and then ogles esthetically,
wrinkles his dimples, throws a
whitening smile, coughs little,
and perhaps makes a polite bow.
Sometimes he ventures to lift his
hat, and, if he is bold enough,
speaks. What he does next de-
ponds on the apparent receptivity
or resentiyity of his victim. If the
lady receives his overtures in a
manner that offers encouragement,
the masher advances, and perhaps
they engage in conversation and
become acquainted and perhaps
they don't. If the lady ignores
him or gives him contemputous
look which be interprets as warn
ing, he quickly turns away, re-
sumes his place on the walk and
waits for another victim. So much
for that

CONFERENCE IS OPENED
Business Session Follows the Sermon
Committees Appointed and
Officers Elected.
Rev. Herbert KeeSer and Prof. Charles
HOrswell Deliver Interesting
Lectures.

The Methodist church of this
city, one of the finest. in the con-
ference, was occupied by the lead
ing Methodists of the state, when
the first day of the business work
of the conference opened at o'clock
Wednesday morning. Banners of
welcome, the American flag and
variety of asters formed the decora-
tions.
Bishop Fowler, the president of
the conference, was all business,
and insisted on opening the session
FIVE minutes ahead of time, starting
out with song just to call the
brethren in the lecture room into
their seats in the church auditorium.
DR.. Bridgman, the prexy of Ham
line, occupied place alongside of
the bishop, and when the song was
over Rev. W. R. Marshall of Mime
apolis offered prayer. Some of the
belated ministers were noisy in the
lecture room, and shortly after
prayer commenced Bishop Fowler
arose from his knees, and closed
the doors between the two rooms.
The chorus of "Amens' was loud,
earnest and hearty at this, as they
we're to DR.. Marshalls remarks.
Jesus, Lover of My Soul" was
sung with fervor, after which came
the conference sermon by DR..
Bridgman. His text was from
first Peter, 1st to oth verse. ''Upon
Christ" he said, lis built the
superstructure of the whole church
and of those who seek to be saved.
He is the only foundation upon
which a sinner can expect to build
the foundation upon which the
church of God has stood for all time.
The business session opened with
ahustle, the Bishop receiving nomi-
nations, motions, ETC., and putting
| them even before the seconds were
made Rev. F. B. Cowgirl, secre-
tary of the last conference, called
the roll, and the call showed about
one half of the members present.
The roll call over F. B. Cowgirl
was quickly chosen secretary of
| this conference, while E. Ell. Goodell,
| NJ. G.. Sherman, Thos Hambley and
B. G. ellis were elected assistants.
G. W. Morse was elected statistical
secretary, with J. Y. Hawk, A. w.
Brown, W. H. Erwin, ]. G. Craig
and w. E. Burnett as assistants.
Geo. W. Quigley was chosen treas
urer and w. C. Lee and J. L.
Leager were made assistants.
After the reports of the presiding
elders Bishop Fowler announced
that 81, 1856 was appropriated for
support of the bishops and the
money was left to the presiding
elders for apportionment.
1t was decided to have the annual
meeting of the corporation this
morning, the new class received at
10 O'Clock and later a ballot for
delegates to the general conference.
A committee of three, consisting
of E. S. Ryan, G. E. Meal and H. 0.
Givler was appointed on the St.
Paul Bethel.

A Red Wing young lady who had
spent state fair week in Minneapolis
was going down Hennepin Avenue
one afternoon, and on one of the
crowded corners she encountered
one of these professional Washers.
The latter smiled upon her as only
a masher can smile, then advanced
toward her and spoke to her, at the
same time making a motion as if to
take her arm. Now it happened
that this young lady from Red Wing
was not frail timid, dependent
young lady who becomes frightened
and screams Or runs at anything
out of the ordinary. On the con-
trary she was an athlete. She
could swim and row and run and
fence and box with the best of
them She had muscles like a
gladiator and courage to match.
When the masher advanced to take
her arm she whirled about and gave
him right swing in his jaw that
almost foored him. Following up
the advantage gained by her first
drive she landed a second blow full
in the face which sent her assailant
sprawling in the gutter. He tried
hard to recover his feet and make a
final stand but before he could
straighten, biff went the terrible
right once more, and the mash
err was down and out. The
acquaintance he had SO eagerly
sought had been gained but not in
the way he had hoped or expected.
After the cannonading had ceased
the plucky young lady from Red
Wing stepped into drug store to
gain her composure, and get her
hat on straight again. The fellow
she had pummelled picked himself

lecture, in the presence OF the big
crowd, which he will probably re-
member as long as he will remem-
Der the lady who thumped him.
Now, if the city of Minneapolis
would just hire this Red Wing
young lady to come to Minneapolis
and open a school where all OF her
sex could learn how to defend them
selves against the brazen, brainless
gewgaws who peer and ogle at them
as they walk the streets, MASKING
would soou become a lost art.
In the death of Judge Flandrau,
St. Paul lost not only one of her
pioneer citizens but man who had
made himself conspicuous and
picturesque character in the city's
history. He not only rendered
valuable aid in getting the judiciary
of the state on a substantial basis,
but when the Indians began their
atrocities to the settlers of the state
no man did more than he to restore
peace. He was the highest author
ity on general matters concerning
that unfortunate period, and no
history covering any considerable
portion of it has ever been pub
lished which was not first submitted
to him for his revision or anthem
tication. And if Judge Flandrau
said it was so that settled it. He
was very successful in his law
practice, and, being man of good
Judgment 10 business affairs, his
income from his practice and specu-
lations made him a competence early
in life. He had not a classical
education, neither was he cultured,
in the modern sense of the term.
Still his fund of reading was large
and he possessed more than ordi-
nary ability as a writer. Some OF
his literary talent was evidently
inherited by his son, Charles Nc
Comb Flandrau. who is a contributor
to the most noted periodicals.
