the Majority at the Ripe
Age of SO Years.
FIRST TO OFFER TROOPS IN 1851
Served as Chief Executive OF His
State, United States Senator
and Secretary of State.

st. Paul, April 23.-AIexander Ram
sey, ex-governor of Minnesota, secre-
tary of war under President Hayes,
and for two TENS United States sena-
tor from Minnesota, died as his home
in this city, aged SO years. Governor
Ramsey had suffered since the middle
Of February from an attack of the
govt. but was progressing favorably,
and his death came unexpectedly. He
was surrounded at the last by his
surviving relatives.
During War and Reconstruction.
Governor Ramsey was born i'm Penn
sylyania in 1915, and came to Minneso-
ia in 1S49 as ter itorial governor. When
the state government was organized
Ramsey took prominent part in the
deliberations of the constitutional con-
vention, and was elected governor in
1850. He was active in organizing
the state military forces for service
during the period of civil strife. and
in 1868 was elected United States SEN
ator, being reelected in 1869. He sup
ported all the measures of President
Lincoln's administration and took
a prominent part in the discussions of
the momentous questions. of the re-
construction period.
Retires from Public Service.
He was chosen by President Hayes
as secretary of war in 1879, and served
until the advent of the Garfield admin
istration- In 1882 he was appointed
chairman of the commission created by
the Edmunds law relating to polygamy.
Governor Ramsey resigned from this
commission in 1886 and had not since
held any public office.
His Greatest Achievement.
The greatest achievements of Gov
ernor Ramsey's territorial administra-
ton were his successful treaties with
the Indians at Mendoza and Traverse
des Sioux in 1851. AS governor he was
ex-officio Indian commissioner for the
territory and the settlement of all i'm
portant questions relating to the saw
ages virtually deyolved upon him. In
the treaty the Indians coded nearly all
Their lands in Minnesota, and thus 49,
OO0,OOO acres were provided for white
settlement.
Last Surviving War Governor.
Governor Ramsey was not only the
only living war governor, but he was
the first OF the war governors to make
tender Of regiment to the United
States. He was in the city Of Wash
ington at the time news was re-
ceived that Fort Sumter had been q: ed
upon. He went to Secretary Cameron
and offered 1000 men from Minnesota.
Said Cameron: "Well, hurry them up.
am going up to see the president"
And Ramsey sshurfied them NM

a somewhat astonishing spectacle"
said ID. NJ. Parry, when asked for his
opinion as to the attack made upon his
labor position by Senator Hanna at the
banquet of the Amalgamated Steel

On Tuesday evening the commence.
ment exercises were held in the opera

lateness Of the hour being due TO the
arrival of the speaker on the 1897 train.
The program opened with a number by
the high school mixed chorus and three
other good choruses were given during
the evening.
The address by Prof. w. N. Ferris on
The Building OF a Man was both in.
teresting aud instructive. He spoke on
an old subject bat his illustrations and
exposition were fresh. Mr.. Ferris said
that the building Of a man required a

cannot change our inheritance. Hered.
ity counts. Statistics have been com
piled which show that of 1900 members

find out the plan for their lives, in other
words, to get acquainted with them.
selves. Two or three examples were
cited of boys who we're apparently a
failure in studying history and gram
mar, and yet made a big success when
they found out their plan-"Pursue
what you love-"
Besides a plan, the we'll built man
must have self reliance. The kind
Of reliance that Mr. Ferris likes. he has
been able to observe in several children.
He likes children because they aren't

The third essential of the we'll built

These desirable qualities which go 60

be cultivated in three ways. by as.
