WOMEN SENEsCHALS
Where Good Looking, Well hammered
Women Are In De-
New York Sun.

ne" YOTk SuIl
AS the business of the country expands
and new fields for the employment of
women are being constantly opened there
by many novel occupations come into ex-
istence undreamed Of decade ago. Tact
full, pleasing women, women of fine pres
ence and all-around social cleverness,
who want to earn money nowadays, need
not have any particular technical knowl-
edge or training. They are in active de-
mand and most excellent pay-phenom-
email in some instances. .s
In the beauty parlors" frequented by
the wealthy classes the young person who
receives the patrons does SO with an
amiable air of interest and affability. Her
gown alone is worth going to see. The
arrangement Of her hair, even the fash
ion of her belt clasp, smacks of exclusive
ness and inside knowledge as to modes.
And when she beckons the attendant to
who the customer is to be consigned it
is with quite the manner of performing
a benevolent act. ~ ~
She is only a paid servtor. The real
mistress, sheltered in her inside office, is
a plainly dressed. thoughtful looking
woman, with perhaps neither the taste
nor the inclination to get herself up in
a'gloriously impressive fashion. She had
the ability to build up properly exclusive
clientele, however, and the sense to know

eschal to preside deputy mistress, free
from care, whose entire time could be
devoted to looking agreeable.
In a sumptuous private sanatorium is
another deputy Mistress fine, dashing
looking woman who knows nothing what
ever Of nursing, but has a prettily sym
pathetic way about her that wins favor
with both guests and patients. She is al
ways exceptionally well dressed, a pre-
possessing reconme ndation for the estab-
lishment. Women of tactful manners are
employed by several Of the great special
lists to interview people when the doctor
is away.
It Is the thing now in the exclusive
dressmaking and QUILTING establishments
to have the patrons received as tho they
were guests. And a woman with good
looks and social skill combined to come
forward and make customers feel at home
Is needed adjunct. She it is who shows
them samples and takes them around the
show cases. where costly gowns or waists
are on exhibition. All this is done as the
1t mattered not whit whether an order
was secured or<not. When it comes tc
costs and estimates another person is
called in. and the woman who receives
goes to welcome other guests. So-called
diplomacy never played so important a
part In business as now.

Millers Who've Been in THE Val
ley" Say They Are Dis
appointed.
The Drought Got In It's Work in
Some Places Before Rain
Came.

John Washburn came In this morning
from the Red river valley, where with
James r. Bell, he went thru the wheat
fields. Conditions We're less favorable
than. he had expected. Several millers
and grain men are in the valley, and more
Will go there shortly. 1t is a little early
yet for personal investigation. The. mill
ers rarely go out for an examination Of
the fields until the latter part of July.
Every year, about Aug. /, a special train
carries a party of representative Mime
apolts Chamber of Commerce men on a
long run thru Minnesota and the two Da
kotas.
Within the Fast few days, however, the
attention of the entire country has been
drawn to the northwest. Early In the
season the promise was the best ever
known for the time of year. A summary
OF conditions in the valley, printed in
e Journal Of July pointed out
that while the heavy rains had saved the
northwest from a calamity, 1t was too
much to suppose that the former full
promise had been restored, as the drought
had already struck home in some places.
Later investigations bear out the view
That over wide area in the valley con-
dit1ons are much below normal, and dis
appointing yields must be expected in
many districts. How this will affect the
whole is uncertain but that the good
tanned II an average crop is to be 1lar-
vested Is now certain.
Neither Mrs. Washburn nor Mr.. Bell
would venture any opinions. 1--WE found
the barley and the fax looking well,'z said
Mr.. Washburn, "as to wheat, can only
say that We found 1T "a ther disappoint-
ing - -
Millers are. .proverbially prone to take
an optimistic view of the wheat prom
Use. Last year after the millers' special
train had been over the three states, the
members of the party We're inclined to
hope for yield of about 200, 900, 900 bush
els The figure finally accepted as au-
thoritative on the 1902 yield was ITS, 0OO,-
O00., This year no one has ventured any

for time yet. That any representative
m1llers, however, after Investigation
should admit themselves disappointed is
rather significant as confirming forme,
reports, that the northwest need not hope
Tor more than an: average crop at best.
G. f. Eve thinks the situation already
Sufficiently clear, to warrant one in dis.
carding. all idea of big crop. Mr.. Eve
says: THE condition Of the growing cror
IN the three northwest states is doubtful

as much wheat as a year ago, but I dom

The Minneapolis Chicago passenger rate
war goes on merrily. The latest is $40
round trip to Chicago announced this
noon by the Great Western and Wisconsin
Central, tickets to be on sale July 1915,
good returning for thirty days.
Yesterday the Great Western announced
that 1t would apply the $3.50 round trip
rate to Detroit for the Epworth League
convention to Chicago, also. 1t is under
stood that the move was made because
otherwise the round trip to Detroit would
have been less than to Chicago. and the
roads wanted also to cut off the scalpers
who would have profited by the sale Of un-
used tickets.
This last reduction had no terrors for
other roads, for before 2 o'clock it had
been met by the Omaha with the prospect
that others would follow as soon as their
general Offices could be advised.
The 500 line Detroit "a ties OF 1918 will
go on sale Sunday and will continue fol-
four days. Tickets bear a return limit OF
July 20, but are readily extended until
Aug. Is. This makes them practically
tourist tickets available for month and
a half. The 500 has cut it's rates on
seven additional routes in proportion tc
the cut on its direct Detroit route.

Mascot Of the Thirteenth Locked
UP as Well as It's
Hoodoo.
SNOWFALL Mason Sent to the Work
house for Stealing a
Watch.

To-day was sad one for two survivors
Of the Thirteenth Minnesota regiment:
the hoodoo and the mascot Of the regi-
ment We're both placed behind the bars.
Fred W. Ames. colonel of the regiment,
was taken to Saltwater under a six-and-
a-half-year sentence for receiving bribe
of SIS from a woman of the town, and
Charles Mason, colored, better known as
SNOWFALL Mason, who was mascot of
the regiment, was sent to the workhouse
for ninety days for stealing a watch
valued at $15.
When the Thirteenth regiment went to
the Philippines, SNOWFALL was taken
along as mascot. He remained with the
regiment all thru the trying times at
Manila and In other parts of the islands
and returned with the boys. During the
Buffalo exposition he served an engage
ment in the Filipino village and there
posed as native of the new possessions.
He returned to this city, and since then
has been in trouble with the police on
several occasions.
1t is said that 'Snowball' passed a
downtown clearinghouse a few days
ago and saw Andrew Widstrain asleep on
the porch. From the vest of the Sleep
ing man watch fob dangled, and when
Widstrain awoke his watch was missing.
"Snowball'' was arrested, and when ar
raigned pleaded guilty.

TWO WAYS TO DO IT
F. N. Stacy and T. S. Diokey Have
Systems for Keeping the
City's Books. Z
Committee on Accounts Can't Choose
r. Would Leave Matter to
Larger Body.

Two tax experts with divergent views
appeared before the council committee on
accounts of city officers this morning with
recommendations regarding methods Of
keeping the revolving fund accounts:
The committee did not feel able to
choose between the systems of r. N.
Stacy and T. S. Dickey, and decided to
recommend to the council that the whole
question be referred to a committee con-
sisting of the members Of the committees
on accounts of city officers and on ways
and means and the city attorney.
Mr.. Dickey, recommends that the city
collect it's own special taxes: that the city
controller have entire charge of the spe-
cial assessment books and not the city
engineer. This would require a charter
endment. q.
AS substitute Mr.. Dickey suggests that
after the special assessment rolls have
been approved by the council and before
they are sent to the county auditor, the
city controller make a copy in specially
| prepared books in which every detail can
be shown. Mr.. Dickey charges the tax
| rebate evil directly to the aldermen.
Mr.. Stacy would have as the chief fea-
! lures Of his plan a thoro revision of the
| city ACCOUNTS from 1886 to date, includ-
| ing the checking of tax accounts between
| the city and county, of special assess
| ments and funds relating thereto of war
! rants and vouchers and the establishment
| of true balances for each of the city funds.
| He would open thoroly modern set Of
accounts based on the asset and liability
balances as determined by the checking
up. This would show assets and liabili-
ties, and profit and loss, conforming to
! the plan of the National Municipal
League. He believes special assessment
books should be transferred from the
city engineer to the city controller
! The controller should open properly
I balanced accounts showing assets and
| liabilities for the permanent Improvement
revolving fund, the permanent improve
mentN fund, the various ward funds, each
special improvement fund and each spec
ial assessment inNtallment. -.
Another thing Mr.. Stacy's system in.
cludes is the confirmation of the origina,
assessment roll by the district court Civ
| ing each assessment the force of a judg-
ment by the court after the property
! owner has had a chance for a hearing.
| The system provides further for the
audit of all bills for construction account
by the city controller; the appointment
by the council of a committee to negotiate
with the county commissioners to obtain
| for the joint use of the city
and county q revised and true list
of property owners and, taxpayers;
The appointment by the council of E
committee to investigate the assets
amounting to $26S,913.14 still outstand.
ing on the account of A. C. Haugan; the
restoration to the permanent improve
ment revolving fund Of $135, $50, due thai
fund by the sinking fund.

TERROR OF LAKE STREET
Jersey Bull Frightens Pedestrians
Attempts to Rush an Officer
and Is Arrested.

Look out for the bull; he's Cross
shouted man on Lake street near Port
land avenue last night as he hastily
climbed a convenient tree. Keep out of
his way or he'll gore you.''.
The cause of al lthis warning was a
small Jersey bull walking along Lake
street. When a man or child appeared
on the street, the animal would start in
that direction, and a nearby house or
tree was usually sought in haste by the
threatened person. After freeing several
persons and frightening many more. the
animal reached the fifth precinct police
station.
Seeing man In blue sitting In front OF
the station. the animal made a mad rush
and the officer barely had time to dodge
in doors. A rope was secured and the
animal was soon lodged In livery barn.

WHERE LITTLE IS MUCH
The Great Good Done Last Year by
Outing Association, With
Only $500.

The figures of the Outing association
work are interesting as evidence of the
good that a little money contribution to
a. charity may do. Last year the asso-
citation sent out ATS women and children
for country outings of not less: than two
weeks, and many of it's proteges stayed
nearly all summer, for the limit of two
weeks Is no longer rigidly applied if the
entertainers desire to keep their city
guests a longer time. Delicate children,
who need long time for recuperation,
often appeal strongly to kind-hearted
out of this large number was only 5000, in
spite of the fact that an unusual amount
OF transportation was paid for.
1t will be seen from this that it costs
only a little more than so cents to pro-
vide for the expense Of a single outing.
Last year the association bought a horse
to facilitate its work, and the care of the
horse is one large item of expense, for
it is such a steady traveller: over the pave
ments in its errands- Of cheer and kind
ness that it wears out pair Of shoes in
about week.

! Homes Are Improved.
| 1t is often hard for the children to re-
turn to their poor, homes after their out
ings, but the knowledge they get Of a
different way of living has a beneficial
effect upon the homes. One instance is
related by an outing worker, Of two little
boys who cried when they came in sight
of their poor home on their return. One
little outing girl was struck on her return
