WHITE HOUSE,
WASHINGTON, October IS, 1902.
"My Dear Mrs. Van Worst: I must write
you a line to say how much have appre-
ciated your article, The Woman Who

choly side to it. when you touch upon what
is fundamentally infinitely more important
than any other question in this country
that Is, the question of race suicide COM

desire to be independent is, to live
ones life purely according to ones own de-
sres-are in sense substitutes for the
fundamental virtues, for the practice of the
strong racial qualities without which there
can be no strong races-the qualities of
courage and resolution in both men and
women, of scorn of what is mean, base and
selfish of eager desire to work or fight or
suffer, as the case may be, provided the
end to be attained is great enough and lie
contemptuous putting aside of mere ease.
mere vapid pleasure, mere avoidance of toll
and worry.
Il do not know whether 1 most pity or
most despise the foolish and selfish man or
woman who does not understand that the
only things really worth having in life are
those the requirement of which normally
means cost and effort. If man or woman,
through no fault of his hers. goes
throughout life denied those highest of all
joys which spring only from home life,
from the having and bringing up Of many
healthy children, feel for them deep and
respectful sympathy-the sympathy one ex-
tends to the gallant fellow killed at the
beginning of a campaign. or the man who
tolls hard and Is brought to ruin by the
fault of others. But the man or wo-
man who deliberately avoids marriage
and has heart so cold as to know no pas
sion and brain so shallow and selfish as
to dislike having children is in effect a
criminal against the race and should be an
object of contemptuouS adherence by all
healthy people.
No One Quality Makes Good Citizen.
-''Of course. no one quality makes a good
citizen, and no one quality will save ma
ton. But there are certain great qualities
for the lack Of which no amount Of intel

COLD WAVE COMES
ON SCHEDULE TIME
Temperature Drops to Close to the Zero
Point

The man who let his fire go out last
night regretted it very much this morn
ing as he stuck his nose out from under
the covers and began thinking about get
ting up. 1Ict
The cold wave, which the weather bu-
reau predicted early yesterday afternoon,
arrived promptly on time and by 2 o'clock
this morning the temperature was well
down toward the zero mark. The cold
spell may last several days. although the
predictions are that there will be slight
modification tomorrow. 1t will not be
accompanied by snow.
The temperature began falling yesterday
at noon. AT z o'clock yesterday morning
it stood % above. There was a drop Of
degrees during, the day, the thermometer
it stood % above. There was a drop of

The weather bureau predicted a drop
of 20 degrees during the twenty -four
hours, stating that the temperature would
be about 5 degrees above zero this morn
ing.
Last night was the coolest so far this
season.
The cold spell extends. all over the
northern part of the United States and
Canada, going as far south as the north
ern boundary of Iowa. In some of the
Eastern states and in Canada heavy SHOWS
were reported yesterday, but the weather
throughout the district is clear and cold.

WILL OPEN NEW BIDS
ON WORK AT FORT
First Were Rejected, Owing to Tech
nicaI irregularities.

Another set of bids for the remodel
ing of the old barracks at Fort Shell
ing into new and modern quarters for
four troops of cavalry will be opened
at the army building by Capt r. M.
Schofeld, constructing quartermaster,
next Friday morning.
The former bids, opened Nov. 2, were
rejected by the war department on ac-
count of technical irregularities in the
proposals.
The proposals call for a general re-
modelling of all the old buildings and
the erection of two new double caval-
ry stables. The work will cost over
100000, and when the improvements
are completed the fort will be one Of
the largest in the country. and second
to none in equipment.
Under the first bids, st. Paul con-
tractors were the lowest bidders on all
the work. All the st. Paul men have
submitted bids on the new proposals.
There will not be much delay on
account Of the Reimbursement for
bids" said Capt. r. NJ. Schofeld yes
terday. "As soon as the bids are OPEN
ed and classied here they will be rush
ed to Washington, and if they are sat
isfactory to the war department the
contracts ought to be awarded within
two weeks. The Tenth artillery, now
occupying the old post, will move into
their new quarters next week. and the
old buildings will be ready for the
contractors as soon as the contracts
are awarded"

DIFFICULT PROBLEM
Mrs. Carrier Beyond the Aid of Char

'The case of Mrs. Carrier shows the
need of a state institution for the
reformation of women" said Judge
Finehout yesterday. Charitable or
CARNATIONS, private parties and the
Salvation Army have done all they can
for her, and have given up in despair.
All that can be done for her now is to
keep sending her to the workhouse

Carrier refused to be cared for and
Saturday night went to a policeman
and pleaded with him to arrest her so
that she might have some place to stay.
She declared to the officer that she had
no place to go and nowhere to get
food
The Salvation Army had1deeided to
take care of her, but she grew rebel
lious and nothing could be done with
her. She broke away, and after pass

Get OUT OF COLD
Artiilerymen at Fort Quit Tents
fu Barracks.

After living two weeks in tents,
sleeping on straw and carrying their
meals from the cook tent to their liv-
ing quarters, while the temperature
stood well below the freezing point,
the Thirtieth battery of field artillery
is at last housed in the new quarters at
Fort Smelling.
The quarters were completed Sat
urday and turned over to Capt. Scho-
field, constructing quartermaster, by
the contra ctors. Arrangements swere
immediately made to abandon the, ca N

by being forced to camp out, nearly

The new barracks are modern in ev-

They are located west of the old bar
racks, on the road to the stables.
The Tenth battery, now housed in

the artillery barracks. 1t will move

TURKEY FLIES HIGH
Festival Bird Is Marked 20
Cents Per Pound.

A respectable Thanksgiving dinner
for the average family will come near
making a $40 bill look like 80 cents this
week.
Where turkey could be procured
for about II cents a pound one year
ago, 20 cents a pound Is the figure
now and the increase is proportionate
with number Of other articles that
enter into the preparation of the ma
tional festival menu.
- Apples are scarce, cranberrieS are
up. fancy vegetables demand fancy
prices and poultry, the usual substitute
when turkey Is beyond reach, is soar
Ing. Oysters are about the only thing
that have not taken jump in price.
Wet weather is said to be the cause
for the high price of turkeys, the cold
dampness causing great mortality
among the flocks, while the genera
scarcity that has prevailed all summer
is responsible for the altitude of prices
in fancy vegetables.
California is sending in the ma
jority Of the fancy vegetables to be
found on the market now, and it is
also contributing most of the late
fruits. AS a rule the fruit is sound
and Of excellent quality. The price is
the only bad feature.
The rise in the price Of apples is due
to the fact that there is no storage
fruit in the Twin Cities. The crop
was small and dealers had customers
for about all they could get their hands
on. Very few late apples are coming
in and until they are heard from the
present prices will continue.
There will be a big modification in
the general bill Of fare for Thanks
giving this time. Cheaper meats will
take the place Of the national bird, and
breadstuffs will supplant many vege-
tables. But the pumpkin pie that
mother used to make will be on hand
for the grocer provides a good quality
of condensed pumpkin in the can that
serves satisfactorily, and there will be
a side feature in the shape of mince
meat, which holds it's usual price
Bananas will take the place Of other
fruit
Owing to the high cost Of Thanks
giving dinner supplies the hotels and
restaurants are planning to feed many
more than the usual number OF
Thanksgiving day patrons, as they fig
ure that housewives will consider 1t
cheaper to dine out than to prepare the
spread at home.

Corporation Attorney Michael said
yesterday that none of the gas COM
pany officials had been to see him, and
he could not predict what would be the
outcome Of the conference. He said
that limitations were made a. me last

company, but beyond that he knew
nothing. s a5 3t
The four chief points in dispute are
the 25-cent minimum for all bills, which
the company wants fixed at 81; the
city's right to purchase the plant at
the end of five years; reversion Of the
plant to the city at the end of the
franchise; and council control of the
company's electric lights.
These the company at the last meet
ing fatty announced it would not &C

tent that the representatives said a
modification might make them all
right.

that the council will listen to tonight.

GETS $3.50 WORTH OF
BALM FOR HER INJURIES
Mrs. Grace Patterson Awarded That
Sum in Her Suit Against Peter Max.

A jury in Judge Kelly's court yes
terday returned verdict for $3.50 in
favor of Mrs. Grace H. Patterson, in
her suit for $4,000 damages against
Peter Max and his wife.
Mrs. Patterson, one day last summer,
went to visit friends who lived up
stairs in the same house in which the
Max family lived down stairs. Mrs.
Patterson was informed that Mrs. Max
had called her vile name, and after
dinner she went down to demand an
explanation of Mrs. Max.
The argument waxed warm, and Mr.
Max Joined in. Broomsticks and axes
are said to have figured in the assault
which was made upon Mrs. Patterson,
and a few moments later she was
found unconscious in the yard.
She brought suit against Mr.. and
Mrs. Max for $4,000. and the case has
been on trial several days. The jury
returned a verdict for $3.50 after being
out a short time.

GRAND JURY CALLS
MANY WITNESSES
Intends to Investigate the
Charges Preferred Against
Members of Council.

More than twenty grand jury sub
poenas were served yesterday upon
persons who are summoned to appear
before that body today and tell what
they know regarding the charges of
municipal scandal.
The investigation into the alleged
crooked methods of certain members
Of the council, commenced last week,
is to be resumed today, when the grand
jury will go into the matter in earnest.
All day yesterday deputies from the
sheriff's office were busy serving sub
poenas, and it is expected that the
waiting list in the corridors outside
the grand jury room will be long this
afternoon.
City officials, business men, newspa-
per men and others have been rounded
up, and so quietly did the deputies go
about their task of serving the sub
poenas that many of the witnesses
were caught before there was any op-
portunity for the matter to be tipped"
to them
1t is stated that a number who were
expecting to be called as witnesses had
| prepared to sink out of sight before
they could be served, but the deputies
who went out yesterday came back
with returns" on almost every paper
in their possession.
That the grand jury has decided to
go farther into the charges made in
connection with the methods employed
In securing the passage of the down.
town ball park ordinance is evidenced
by the personnel of the witnesses sum-
moned to appear this afternoon.
Newspaper Men Will Testify.
Although several witnesses have al
ready been before the jury in this case,
the investigation is not concluded, for
among the witnesses summoned yes
terday were a number of sporting ed
1torS of local papers, some of whom are
said to know something about the
inner workings of the deal whereby the
downtown park was made possible.
Other matters besides the ball park
deal, in which members of the council
are said to be implicated, will also be
taken up by the grand jury, and it is
expected that at least another week,
and possibly more time, will be con-
sumed by the grand jury in investigat-
ing the alleged city scandal.
The street railway company is said
to be concerned. and the charges and
rumors in this connection will be look
ed into.
After the grand jury has finished
with municipal matters the Ernst case
will be reopened. 1t is reported that
charges other than those which have
already been investigated will be con-
Sidered.
1t is probable that the grand jury
will make a partial report this after
noon, at which time one or two indict-
ments are expected. The cases in
which Indictments are looked for t0-
day, however, are of minor Importance,
and have nothing to do with the grand
jury's investigation into municipal af-
fairs.
