The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1903-11-26

The number of boys who sold t e
Journal on the streets twenty-five
years ago to-day, was not nearly so
large as the crowd which sells them
to-day, and that may be why 1T has
been much more difficult to locate the
original newsboys than any other class
of people connected with the first issue
of the paper. 1t was not very difficult
to find about a dozen of the old time
carrier boys, but only one of the old
time 'newsies" has made himself
known. The following special dispatch
from Princeton, Mimi, tells all about
him and his newsboy experiences of
long ago: "
Princeton, Mimi, Nov. 26.-Among
the most popular of Journal newsies
and carriers of twenty-five years ago
was a little lad who was nicknamed
Skinny and Boxer by his COM
rades. D. G.. Johnson of Princeton,
Mimi, who answered those slang titles
years ago. laughingly refers to his old
boyhood days when he attended the
Franklin school in Minneapolis and
sold Journals after school hours. Mr..
: Johnson Is now employed in John N.
.Berg's general store at Princeton, and
when a Journal representative
5 dropped in to see him the other day
1t required little effort for Mr.. john
son to become reminiscent, and he
took great pleasure in telling of the
days when he cried u ourn a. Il! on
the noisy thorofares of Minneapolis
twenty-five years ago.
Yes, think 1 belong to, the old
newsboys' association of The Mime
apolis Journal" said Mr.. Johnson, "for
I was one Of the lads who used to go
to the hole in the wall and get my
papers when The Journal was
printed on First avenue S, There used

erected at the corner Of Fourth street
and Sixth avenue N, in 1892. The con-
gregation was afterWard divided and
new church of the same name was
built within a half-block of the old
church. All of the synagogs are ele-
gantly appointed, and, following the
old custom, most of the money has
ings. All Of them hold services daily,
but only the older people attend DUR
ing the week days. On the Sabbath,
however, the synagogs are usually
crowded.
Rabbi SLIDER is the high priest of the
synagogs, and his word is supreme
in all matters relating to the church
tons are presided over by rabbis, and
the reverence shown them forms a
noticeable contrast to the customs of
some of the Christian congregations.
In all American cities the Jews have
been accustomed to live entirely by
themselves. Here they have followed
the same plan, not by compulsion, but
by choice. A large part Of the prop
erty extending from Fourth to Tenth
avenues N and from Washington ave
nue. In some places to Dupont avenue
is owned and occupied by a Hebrew
population. Fully two-thirds of the
people live within these bounds. They
have their own stores and markets,
and scarcely ever go downtown to do
their trading. The Jew lives exactly
as he would, were he to return to
Palestine, and it is one of the most
interesting places Of the city. All the
buildings are being enlarged and i'm
proved and ultimately the entire He
brew population will get homes in the
district. When it is considered that
nearly one-twentieth of the people of
Minneapolis are Of Jewish birth, their
influence in the community will be
better understood.

OUR PIONEER
WOMEN DOCTORS
How Two Brave New England Girls, Fresh
From Homeopathic College, Game in the
Youth Of Minneapolis to Minister Medically
to Her Ailments.

Minneapolis may be said to have
been in an expectant attitude twenty
five years ago." said DR.. Hutchinson.
"She hoped for great things from the
city and the people, and she has not
been disappointed. She looked at
questions with a fairness and broad
ness that overcame any narrow preju-
dice, and she has given women a
chance with men. When woman
failed the blame was not placed at her
sex, but at her personal ability. 1t
was the individual who could not grasp
success, and women were deemed as
capable as ever.
DIR. Swain remained in the city sew
en- years, and then, growing homesick
for the New England atmosphere in
which she had been raised, she re-
turned to the east. DR.. Hutchinson
remained to become again a pioneer.
AS she was one Of the first women doc
tors to come to the city, so she was
the first woman and one of the first
homeopaths to receive a place on the
staff of the city hospital, and the first
medical board. She is entering on the
last year Of her second term on the
board, and is one of the few women
in the United States to serve in that
capacity.
In the east the prejudice against
women doctors still smolders, and
twenty-five years ago the Goals We're
very bright and hot to the fingers Of
the women who dared to touch them.
In the west people were too busy
Wrestling the future from the wilder
ness to have prejudices and they asked
the same of women that they did Of
men, courage, patience and knowledge,
and they ask the same to-day, just as
| they did a quarter of a century ago.

class and will not permit modernism
to enter into their rites and cere-
monies. One can enter a synagog to-
day and see the same ceremonies that
We're performed in the Temple Of Solo
mon at Jerusalem. The law of Moses
is still observed, and the ancient fam
lily customs practiced to the letter.
Even the mode of living and house ar.
rangement is unlike that Of other
homes, due to the fact that for CEN
turtles the Jews have lived in settle
ments by themselves and have made
no effort to depart from the old ways.
Perfect harmony exists between all
the congregations and in this lies their
great strength. The greater share Of
the population consists of Russian.
Rumanian and Polish Jews, yet their
church government and ceremonies
are exactly the same and no faction
lines are drawn.
The names of the Minneapolis con-
gregations are: Kenneseth Israel,
Kenneseth Israel H., Mikro Kodesh,
Adath Yeshurin, Anshei Tavrig, Ru-
manian Hebrew and the Temple
Shaari. The latter is "a Reformed
church and the services are more after
modern plans. The Kenneseth Israel

had known.
The dental business of the city was
not very large in the 1878 period. AS
he remembers it, there were only
about half dozen members of the
a few more, but he can think of only
that many at present. The state dem
tai society was organized before the
centennial year. but he thinks there
was no local dental society as early
as 1878. DR.. Bausman had his office
at 242 Nicollet avenue, where he re-
NAMED for twenty-five years. He re-
tired from practice several years ago,
on account of failing eyesight. DR..
]. A. Bowman, who is still here in
active practice. had his office in 1878
on washington avenue. near First
practice here. had an office on the
East Side. DR.. D. L. Taylor, still in
practice here, had an office not far
from the Nicollet house. OF the two
other dentists who were here in 1878,
one, DR.. Stoneman, whose office was
on the East Side, is dead, and DR..
Smith, who was located on Washing
ton avenue. near First avenue S, has
returned to his old home, in Maine.
There were no dental schools here
then. The six dentists who made UP
this early colony were educated in
chicago and the east. DR.. SBauSman
came from Pittsburg DR.. Bowman
from Maine, DR.. Bailey from New
York, and DIR. Taylor from Ohio.
