eight languages in the congregation. At
the close Of the services had the people

NO POOR IN TOWN
Offer to Give Away New Clothes

Poverty apparently is nearly unknown
in Minneapolis Herbert Pearce, proprie-

worth OF garments left over from last
season. Not wishing to sell the goods,
Mr. Pearce advertised in TT e J o urna
that on Saturday these goods would be
given away to any poor persons who called
at the store.
Altho it is a reasonable presumption
that this offer, thru the advertisement in
T he j GU rna ]. secured as much pub
slicity as possible, only four persons pre-
sented themselves at the store, and only
about $65 worth Of goods were given away

WOODROW WILSON'S LECTURE
An Interesting Discussion Of "What !

b isDr.s Woodrow Wilson, president of
Princeton university, told large gather
ing at Plymouth church last Saturday
evening What It Means to Be an Amer
ican.'" He declared that there was great
deal of truth in what foreigners said about
America and Americans and that the re-
sentiment shown, over such criticism was
the sensitiveness Of youth. Americans do
things on the run. There was no finish;
the citiesfeven had the appearance Of be-
ing temporary. + -.f y
There was no such thing as American
literature from the fact that American
writer's were not artists in the use of
language. They did not seek for and OBJ
tain the niceties of expression. The
speaker referred to the destruction of for
ests and other natural resources and
warned the people that nature would take
revenge. - . .-s
President Wilson eulogized the frontiers
man by saying there was no representa-

Summer Dresses.

To introduce the subject of Sum
mer Dresses at a time when most
women are thinking about their spring
clothes, may seem out of place, but
we are receiving lots of imported
dresses nowadays, among which
was small package from Paris, con-
tanning dozen or more of the fluffy
summer evening dresses that have
been brought over to set the style
here in Minneapolis. @@..
In these dainty evening dresses
we find the use of laces most strik-
ing. Whether the stuff itself is
organdie, etamine, India linen or
lawn, the use of lace is paramount.
One delicate organdie dress is COM

which the French women are very partial to.
All have lace insertion and tuck. None of

WRITTEN FOR A PURPOSE
J. S. Bell Punctures a Milling Story
Emanating From Buffalo.

]. C. Bell of the Washburn- Crosby com
pany punctures the Buffalo Express story
that Buffalo was to be the future flour
milling center of the world at the expense
of Minneapolis, basing the article on a,
statement credited to Mr.. Bell himself.
Mr.. Bell treats the story as follows:
saw the article. "a clipping. having
been sent me from Buffalo. It is wind, ali
wind. I never wrote any letter to Secre-
tary Bowen; in fact, I never heard Of

have got too much. money invested right
here in Minneapolis and the tributary ter
ritory to think of moving to any eastern
city. There is a small field in and around
Buffalo for a flour mill, but we figure
that our one mill of 5000 barrels capaci-
ty. which we are to erect there will cover
the section nicely. It would be impossible
to ship any flour west of Buffalo but a
little would go south. hence the only avail
able field would be east and that could
not by any means accommodate the out

CITY NEWS.
YE MIRACLE PLAYS.
Given With Great Success in Boston
Under the Direction Of Clay
ton D. Gilbert.
Former Minneapolis Man Has the
Advice of DR.. Richard Burton
Social Success, Too.

Two former Minneapolis men were con-
nected prominently with one of the in
teresting and significant dramatic events
of the season in Boston, the production of
q group of three miracle plays of the
Chester series. The production was under
the auspices of the Actors Church Alli-
ance and the plays were put on under
the direction Of Clayton D. Gilbert, of the
Emerson College of Oratory, assisted by
Professor Charlton Black Of Boston univer-
sity, Dr. Richard Burton, Miss Beu!ah
Marie Dix, and Mrs. Evelyn Greenleaf
Sutherland as an advisory committee.
The plays were edited by Miss Dix, a
popular novelist and playwriter. Not
only were they presented with every
effort to reproduce the original 'atmos-
phere,' but there We're also realized for
the spectators the conditions under which
they were given in their own time. The
plays were shown on an open platform in
the surroundings OF an English street in
the fifteenth century. Around the plat
form, before and during the performance,
crowd of fifty trained pantominists rep
resented the popuace. This crowd trooped
down the center aisle Of the hall, after
the manner of crowds, after the curtain
rose showing an old man peering out of
the gable window of a house. The pOpu
lace was a motley, one and enacted the
usual holiday scenes admirably.
According to the Boston Transcript and
the Herald the occasion was great social
success and an even greater dramatic
success. The staging and acting were pro-
nounced quite equal to the Harvard society
dramatic revivals. The plays given were
"Noah's Flood 1.-THE Massacre of the
Innocents' and abraham and Isaac
The festival lasted all of the week of
April 13, and on the opening night, in ad-
dition to the theatricals, letter read
from Mrs. Langtry, who had expected to
be present, an address was made by Rev.
George w. Shinn. president Of the alliance.
u. S. Kerr sang at one of these programs.
an original poem by Nixon Waterman, and
concert program was given. During
the days musical programs We'd in inter-
est with the attractions Of the booths, at
which were sold gifts from various play
ers. A cafe was run the whole week and
tea was served each afternoon by promi
nent actresses, Miss Cecilia LOTUS being
the drawing card the first day.
The production reflected much credit on
Mr.. Gilbert, who has quickly stepped into
prominence in Boston dramatic affairs. He
has also put this month a musical
fantasy, ''Mystic Waters for the Camp
ers' club of the y. NJ. G. A.
Mr.. Gilbert will spend the summer in
Minneapolis. arriving May 10 to begin at
once the rehearsals of the university class
play, which will be given Memorial Day at
the Metropolitan. He has an offer, to re
turn to Boston in June to put on a produc-
ton of Tennysons "Foresters,' a Robin
Hood play. Next fall at Emerson college,
he will put on an Egyptian play by Mabel
Hay Barrows, who is well-knOWn in Min
neapois This will be the first Egyptian
play to be produced in this country.

have been received from the most prom
inent men and women in the country who
have been cured by this remarkable rem
edy. Ministers, bankers, lawyers, even
eminent physicians have sent strong tes-
timonials as to the remarkable powers of
Hyonei to cure catarrh.
Former Mayor Emery M Yard of Then

Rain Coats.

We sell almost as many of these
stylish garments for women as we
do for men. Their supreme utility
appeals to men. The women are
going wild over them because in no
other garment is grace and comfort
so well combined-yet they are
none the less rain proof. Even
those thin, wafer-like, almost trans

solutely rain proof. There are a
great many styles among these

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION
CITY sANITARIAN SPENCER ADvO-
Gates A PEsTHOUsE.
without One n Smallpox Epidemic
Would BE Hard to Handle-New
Park Board

Should a smallpox epidemic break out
in Indianapolis before a pesthouse is estab-
lished the city would have to spend thou
sands of dollars more to take care of the
victims than would be necessary IL they
were taken to a p~esthouse. Besides this I'M
necessary expense the danger from a small
pox epidemic would be much greater II the
victims were cared for in various parts of
the city"
DIR. NJ. j. Spencer. city sanitarian. made
this statement last night. He is Urging
upon the members of the Board of Health
and Mayor Hoffman the necessity of the
pesthouse question being disposed Of at
once and a temporary place to care for
smallpox victims being established in the
shortest possible time. 1t is probable that
the Board of Health and the mayor will de-
eide to-day or tomorrow where to locate
the pesthouse and will make a recommends
ton to Council at the special meeting to-
morrow night.
LAS long as we have this fine weather and
plenty of sunshine there is not much dan
ger from smallpox" said the city SAM
tartan. But let the weather turn cold and
become bad and then there is much danger
of a smallpox epidemic. And it cannot be
told how soon bad weather will come. The
city should have a temporary pesthouse at
once. Without q peSthouse a smallpox cpl
demic would be a terrible thing"

1T WILL TAX THE ROADS TO THEIR
FULL CAPACITY FOL MONTHS.
The Wabash Has Much to Do Before 1t
Gets Into Pittsburg-General and
Personal Railway Notes.

Unless freight officials are mistaken as to
the outlook for business there is no occasion
to be concerned as to either present or
prospective conditions. All railroad power
is In steady service, the companies have lit
tie room to complain and all seem positive
there Is enough tonnage in the territory
from which they draw their supplies of
freight TO warrant the statement that earn
ings for months to come will be on q parity
with those of last year. In some respects
the situation Is better than for some time
as nearly all the roads are in position, so
far as cars are concerned. to handle the
bulk of the business offered. Roadbeds were
never in better condition for heavy traffic
and cars are larger and more numerous.
Motive power is more extensive, but has
not kept pace with the increase in cars and
in the winter operations the numerous i'm
provements which have been made during
the last summer will be available in i'm
proving the service. An impression pre-
walls that the grain tonnage from now on
Will make up for any falling of in other
tonnage for six months TO come, as the corn
crop is much in excess of the expectations
sixty days ago. The leading roads are max
Ing every effort to please shippers and pre-
pare them against any shortage in freightS
and to prevent decentralization OF freight
rates by secret cutting. Roads in the North
west report enough tonnage in sight to keep
them busy during the winter. The South
ern roads continue to report business ahead
of last winter and Central Traffic and
roads are moving all the busl-
ness they have power to handle.
