The Woman's Auxiliary to the Man
ufacturers' Association met yesterday

that there would be at least fifty auto
mobiles, carriages, carts, etc., in line
Chester Smith was elected marshal of

fraternal organizations, clubs and So
cieties to enter floats for the parade.
A special prize will be offered for
home-g grown plants and window gar

This entertainment, which will consist
of music, readings and addresses by
members, will be held in the senate
chamber at the capital.
e. w. Bazille, the newly elected pres
ident Of the association, referred to the
many changes that had taken place in
st. Paul within the recollection of even
the youngest members of this body,
and reminded his hearers that the cap
1tol building in which they We're now
gathered was once part of his fathers
farm.
H. S. Fairchild, who was called upon
later in the evening for "reminiscences
of territorial times, told briefly that not
long ago, having occasion to look UP
data for an address before the State
Historical society, he went to the reg
lister of deeds otice and there made a
discovery that surprised even him.
PIats Were Deficient.
In book A of the records he found
that Louis Robert and his associates
In plating the city of st. Paul had
omitted all mention Of the section,
town, range, county, state or territory
In which the now important city of
st. Paul was located. Not only was the
original plat thus deficient, but all of
the early additions were laid out with
similar disregard for specific location,
and in 1849 not one addition of this
city was fully described.
Mr.. Fairchild spoke also of early
transfers in which property was de-
scribed as running from Third street
seventy-fv feet to Jackson's back
fence, and thence to the Hartshorn
property east of the ravine," or as
running fifty feet from the corner of
Robert street." which might mean in
any direction from any corner of Rob-
ert street. But the attorneys of that
time all recognized those descriptions
and considered them sufficient until in
1866 new attorneys began to come in
and demanded more specific metes and
bounds. Then the legislature enacted a
law legalizing all of the questionable
titles

CITY NEWS
CITY PAYS FOR IT
Property Owners Stand Little of
St. Anthony Sewer Cost.

A final order for the construction OF
q part of the main sewer system plan
ned for st. Anthony Park is being pre-
pared by the board of public works
A hearing was given the property own
ers yesterday and satisfactory answers
were received from all concerned.
In constructing the part of the sewer
decided upon, which will extend from
the river to within block of University
avenue, the entire cost, which City
Engineer Rundlett estimates at about
$4,000, will be met through the 100000
appropriation made by the conference
committee a year ago. Property in the
vicinity of University avenue will be
taxed, but it is not expected that over
$4,000 will be raised from this source.
The portion that will be built taps
the sandrocll almost it's entire distance
and will be of practically no use to
the property along which it will pass
In order to reach the river heavy
drop is necessary, and this prevents its
use.
To thoroughly sewer the ward, it is
estimated, will call for an expenditure
of nearly $350,00O. To raise this
amount by assessment is almost I'M
possible, and the residents to be served
have decided to build portion each
year.

SAY THEY'LL BOYCOTT
UNIOH.MADE GOODS.
Retail Grocers Blame Clerks
Union for Enforcement of
Sunday Closing Law.

Union-made goods are to be boy
cotted by the suburban grocers unless
the fight being made against the gro
GERS who keep open on Sunday by the
Retail Clerks union is called off at
once.
This is the edict issued by the gro
GERS who are opposing the Sunday
closing law, a number Of whom held a
conference yesterday to discuss the
situation as it stands since Judge Jag
gard handed down his decision holding
the Sunday closing law valid.
The smaller, grocers are very much
perturbed, and a meeting Of those in
terested will be held either Thursday
or Friday night of this week, at which
time campaign against the Sunday
closing law will be discussed.
The grocers declare that the recent

SCHOOL is BURNED
Thatof the Misses LOOMS DAM
aged to Extent of SIS, 900.

The Misses LOOMS school, on Holly
avenue, between Dale and st. Adams
street, private institution for young
women, was damaged last night by
fire which started in the basement,
burning up through the center OF the
building to the roof
The building, which was a beautiful
modern structure, was entirely new,
having been completed but two weeks
ago and having been used only during
the past week. The cost of the struc-
ture was $4,000, and the damage
caused by the fire is estimated at
$4,000.
The fire had made great Roadway
before it was discovered at 10 o'clock
by one Of the neighbors, who noticed
smoke coming from one of the win
dows. When the fire department ar
rived the men found the building filled
with dense black smoke, and they
had great difficulty in locating the fire.
The smoke was so thick and suffocat-
ing that Pipeman Luke Webb, of En-
CINE Company No. 5, was overcome.
He fell in the building and his fellow
firemen had difficulty in getting him to
the open air. He was finally revived
after being attended by neighbors.
The fire started in. the basement,
near the furnace, in q room in which
the painters at work on the building
had left number Of paint cans. Chief
Jackson said that it was possible that
the paint or oily rags might have be-
come ignited from the heat of the fur
mace In which there had been fire.
II do not think that the fire was due
to any defect in the furnace or. in the
construction of the building" said
Chief Jackson, though the manner in
which the fire ran up through the cen
ter of the building is peculiar. The fire
started in the basement and followed
the furnace pipes to the upper floors.
The wooden fiue about the pipe was
burned and the fire followed the pipes
that branched out into all sections Of
the building"
The school, which was formerly
known as the Freeman school, is con-

arrests for the, violation of this law is
the result of action taken by the Re
tail Clerks union, and. in order to get
even with organized labor the grocers
who talked over the situation yester-
day decided that they would hereafter
refuse to handle any union made goods
unless the crusade was called off.
A number of grocers did not even
wait until an organization is perfected,
but ordered their union-made cigars
and other union made goods removed
from their places of business yester-
day.
boycott all union-made goods, but de-
clare they will close every saloon in
the city which keeps it's doors open on
Sunday.
1t is expected that more than a hun
dred grocers will attend the meeting
to be held the latter part of this week,
and an effort will be made to have
every grocer in the city, aside from
those in the downtown district, be-
come members OF the organization.
With an organization of this kind the
grocers expect to be able to accom-
plish much.
while there is no way of telling, we
estimate that the grocers who are in
sympathy with our movement sell more
than $4,000 worth of union-made
goods in ST. Paul every month";" said
one of the grocers last night, land the
loss of this trade to organized labor
will mean a great DEAL The grocers
have nothing against the union-made
goods, and if they are excluded from
our stores it will be the fault of the
Retail Clerks union, which has been
doing all in it's power to ruin our trade
and interfere with our business"
The grocers declare that the people
of the city are in sympathy with them
in their effort to knock out the Sunday
closing law, and they propose to carry
the matter to the supreme court If
necessary.
"The law is, a rank farce" said
Grant Spicer, West Seventh street
grocer, when seen by T h G o b last
night. .It is all nonsense to charge us
with violating the law by keeping our
stores open on Sunday, when the sa-
looms on each side of us are permitted
to run wide open all day long.
"Some of the grocers We're given to
understand today that they will not be
nermitted to sell milk Or bakery goods
on Sunday. This is absurd. 1t is we'll
known that many people have no place
where milk could be kept sweet from
Saturday until Monday, and in cases
where milk is needed for babies 1t
would work great hardship.
"The grocerS are now thoroughly
aroused over the matter and there will
be something doing before we get
through. If the grocers are compelled
to close Sundays, it is safe to bet that
some other lines of business will also
be closed, or we will know the reason
why"

Walter Damrosch's dramatic recital
of "Parsifal," the most brilliant mu-
steal event arranged so far for this
season, will be, given tonight at the
Peoples church. The recital alone Is
worthy of the most liberal patronage,
but when it is considered that David
Bispham, the. famous, baritone, is to
take part in the, programme, the value
Of the entertainment will be readily
conceded.
1t depends entirely upon the public
whether or moist Paul is to enjoy a
brilliant musical season this year. If
the public shows a willingness to pa
tronize the concerts arranged for it..
individuals and societies will consider
the bringing Of out of-town artists
here less of risk. But if, on the con-
trary, the public stays away, there; Is
only one conclusion to be reached
that the public does not care particu-
larly for brilliant musical season.

All who were present have known
Mr.. Reardon for many years, and
among them at least his nationality
and his love for the Emerald Isle are
well understood, so the prompt and apt
reply was generally enjoyed. Maroon
and blue were also suggested, but 1t
was finally decided to leave the selec-
ton of the color to the board of di-
rectors.

If the Ramsey County Territorial
Pioneers ASSOCIATION adopts green as
the color of its badge, it will be because
of a suggestion from Timothy Reardon,
which, when it was made in the an
nual meeting of the organization last
evening, created general laugh.
J. C. Donahower had suggested that
the association should have distinc-
tive badge of its own, and as the idea
met with general favor, Mr.. Reardon
moved that the board of directors be
empowered to have a suitable badge
made, to be sold to the members at
cost. William O'Gorman suggested that
the color should be selected at this
meeting, as nearly all the members
were present
