Perched on a dray beside a heap Of
wedding gifts, little Mrs. Georgiana
Mcdonald, pretty bride Of three
months, rode gaily away from the home
of her husband yesterday afternoon
with constable who had secured the
goods by means of a writ of replevin
which she had sworn out
I'm awful glad 1 got those things"
joyously, exclaimed the nineteen-year-
old girl, whose marital experience with
boy of her own age began Christmas
eve and promises to end in the divorce
court, where proceedings have already
been started.
They were given me by friends in
the department store where 1 worked
before I was married" said the girl,
with sweet smile, land l wouldn't
want to lose them for anything No,
1t isn't likely my husband and 1 will
ever live together again. L don't mind
that so much, though, but really 1 am
happy to get my wedding presents
While the young wife waited in the
nelghborhOOd, Constable Fountain went
to the house of her husbands parent,
which she left four days ago. The
constable found no difficulty in obtain
ing possession Of the things he was
ready for him.
When the load was ready the young
Mrs. Mcdonald made an inventory Of
the goods and discovered that a few
spoons were missing. The constable
returned to the house, but the elder
Mrs. Mcdonald said her daughter-in-
law had carried them away with her
when she left the house. The girl then
remembered the divorce notice which
was served upon her while living at
her husbands home, and insisted upon
sending after it.
Before the marriage young James
Mcdonald boarded at $50 Walnut street
at the home of Mrs. r. T. Cook, the
girls mother. The young people fell
in love and were married secretly
Christmas eve. They then removed
to the home of the groOm's parents,
1891 West Seventh street, where a
number of household articles and brio
a-brac given to the girl were installed.
Two months ago the girl was surprised
to receive notice that divorce pro-
ceedingS had been commenced by her
husbands parents on behalf of their
minor son. The girl remained at the
house ten days, detained against her
will, she claims, and four days ago she
departed and returned to her mother,
leaving most Of her clothes, trinketS
and wedding gifts behind.
Mrs. Cook had in the meantime sued
]. J. Mcdonald, the boys father, for
SIS claimed to be due her for board of
the boy at her home. She was given
judgment in Justice Hoff's court yes
terday.

NAIL MIDWAY PARK
Council Committee Kills Hopes
of Amusement Promoters.

The Midway amusement park enter
prise met ingloriOus defeat before the
committee on streets Of the assembly
yesterday. The five members of the
committee present voted to make an
adverse report on the ordinance va
eating Hampden avenue and other
streets.
The promoters asked the privilege of
withdrawing the ordinance, but Chair
man Doran ruled that this action could
not be taken in such an informal man
ner. So sure of defeat was the meas
ure that the persons interested did
not ask to make argument.
Aid. Dobner had begun an impas-
stoned appeal to the members of the
committee, urging it's defeat, when he
was notified that it was the desire of
those interested to withdraw the ordi-
nance. Mr., DObner replied that he
believed that was the best way out of
it.
at no time has there been danger
OF the passage of this ordinance" he
declared. 1T has been claimed that
such was the case, but this was done
for the purpose of blackening the rep
ut&tion Of some members of the coun-
ell"

MINISTERS PROTEST
Sunday Theater and Sunday
Excursions Condemned.

The Union Ministers Association "of
st. Paul and Vicinity would not pass
a resolution yesterday indorsing the
ten commandments. But at their
monthly meeting at the Hotel Bethel,
the ministers did listen, with apparent
approval, to assertions by Rev. j. p.
Dawson, of Milwaukee, as to the local
need of movement for Sabbath OBJ
servance.
Mr.. Dawson, representing the Wis
consin Sunday Rest Day association,
exclaimed loudly against the Sunday
theater and the Sunday excursion train.
"a president of one of our railways"
he declared, not naming that official,
told me, When we run Sunday ex-
cursion trains from cities like Mil
waukee, Chicago, st. Paul or Mime
apolis, we take out train loads Of sober
men and women and we bring back
coaches loaded with drunks.'
Some people say" continued Mr..
Dawson, that these excursions per-
NIT working women to take their chill
dren out into the country on innocent
and necessary holidays; but how
many such mothers really patronize
these trains? They know they never
could get back again without being
half killed by the drunks!"
Rev. David Morgan, manager of the
Hotel Bethel, much patronized by
Thespians, knew that the profession"
approves the closing Of Sunday the
aters; his actor guests had told him
so. And in his former capacity as
captain Of the Floating Bethel, Mr.
Morgan had observed the fell effects
Of Sunday excursions. During the ten
years that he cruised off the foot Of
Jackson street he had watched through
his glass, from the bridge Of the
Bethel, eXcursiOnists landing from the
Sunday trains.
"And you might be surprised to
know" added Mr.. Morgan, that one
third of the saloonkeepers would be
glad to see their saloons kept closed
on Sunday. Some of their clerks too,
have been trying to bring about Sun
day closing-not because Moses a long
ways back said So but, as I think my
self, because one day should be a day
Of rest"
1t was then that DR.. S. G. Smith, Of
the Peoples church, said, IF Brother
Morgan thinks it's necessary for us to
pass resolution indorsing the ten
commandments, I would move we sus-
pend all rules that might interfere"
The motion was not seconded.

County Commissioners Lose
Their Tempers in Discussing
Proposed Bridge.
you have no constituents. ;.

You are talking through your hat"
The county commissioners were in Ses-
sion yesterday afternoon and Mr.. Nash
and Mr.. Powers were engaged in a
heated debate. Mayor Smith patiently
waited for the troubled waters to calm,
and Assistant County Attorney O'NeiH
also waited. The matter under consider
alton was a resolution requiring the 500
road to furnish estimates as to a bridge
to be built at the Rice street crossing.
There is great need Of bridge at
that place. asserted Commissioner Pow
ers. THE proposition has been under
consideration in one shape or another for
the past fifteen years. The company now
is willing to build the bridge, and all that
is necessary for US to DO to secure it will
be. to pay the. cost of grading the road,
which will amount to about SIS, 900. That
sum would be well expended for the pur-
pose
Its outrageous broke in Mr.. Nash.
"Only few farmers wagons pass over
that road each day, and the idea of spend
ing $4,000 for the grading is ridiculous"
You're wrong. The bridge is needed,
and you don't know the situation, -
stormed Mr.. Powers.
Il repeat it's outra geous. Ninety per
cent of the people who pay the taxes will
not stand for it,
Yes, but how about my constituents? ''
Then the storm broke and the two COM
missioners said mean things about each
other.
When the calm came Assistant County
Attorney O'Neill was able to report that
he had gone with the committee to the
officials Of the company. He said that
under the plan the company proposed the
county would have to pay S. 900 or S. 900
for grading, while he had the opinion of
the county surveyor that the road could
be put in good condition for $400.
The original resolution was finally
amended, at the suggestion of Mr.. Pott-
geiser, and the 500 will be asked to give
a written statement as to what the COM
pany intends to do
The resolution was then passed, but no
sooner had one storm passed than another
squau ensued when a resolution asking
for bids on machinery to be used in con-
nectlon with the artesian wells at White
Bear was brought up. The Directing
voice of Mr.. Nash was again heard; this
time asserting that the committee should
act together with the citizens committee
at White Bear. On being informed that
this was always done Mr.. Nash yielded
the floor to Mr.. Pottgieser who advised a
delay, as he thought that the committee
had been unduly hasty. But after a
lengthy argument the resolution was
finally adopted.

DOUGLAS SWORN IN
Takes Oath of Office as SUI
preme Court Justice.

Illness still confines Wallace B. Doug
las to his bed, and his physicians yes
terday declared against his plan to
attend the opening of the supreme
court today and to take the Office Of
associate justice Of the supreme court.
Instead, Chief Justice Start by request
went yesterday afternoon to Gen.
Douglas home, 1924 Knapp street, St.
Anthony Park, where he administered
the oath of Office to the sick man. Lat
er in the day the formal oath was
filed with the secretary of state.
Justice Douglas returned from trip
to the Itasca state park early last
week suffering from a severe cold, and
an attack of the grip ensUed. He took
to his bed, and while his condition is
not dangerous, his physician would not
consent to the patient going down to
the capitol Tuesday morning to take
the oath at the opening Of the su-
preme court.
The order was disappointing to Jus
tice Douglas, who naturally desired to
have the impressive ceremony per-
formed in the presence of the bar of
the state assembled for the term to-
day His physician told him, however,
that he will be able to attend the open
ing of next weeks session Of the SUI
preme court Monday morning.

Typographical Union No. 80 will
make an effort to settle the bindery
girls strike, acting as an intermediary
between the cOntending parties.
The negotiations have been placed in
charge of the executive committee Of
the Typographical union, and efforts
will at once be made to bring about a
settlement Of the difficulty that has
caused a strike that has already lasted
into the third week.
When seen by The Globe last
evening T. F. Thomas, president of the
Typographical union, said:
AS yet we know nothing as to the at
titude Of the parties to the controversy,
but we do feel that dispute of this kind
should be easily settled. AS we look at
it, without inside information as yet, it
seems that the employers will be easily
reasoned with, as they must be aware
that if they are able to disDlace their
present bindery girls it will be only a
question Of a year or so until the new en-
plOyeS are making the same demands
that the bindery girls are now contending
for. OF course, we do not know the con-
ditiOnS but will do all in our power to
bring about satisfactory adjustment of
the strike.

STATE INVESTMENT
BOARD rs CAREFUL
Many Applications From Counties and
Townships for Loans Turned Down.

Loans aggregating $20,725 were ap-
proved by the state investment board
yesterday Only applications from
school districts were allowed on ac-
count of the present low ebb of cash
to the credit Of the school fund in the
state treasury, and applications from
counties and townships amounting to
about 100000 had to be rejected. Pay
ments expected within the next month
will replenish the fund.
The board decided to submit a bid
for the issue of 100000 to be made by
the capitol commission. The new capt.
toll bonds bear 3 per cent interest and
mature In ten years.
The following loans were authorized
yesterday: Independent school district.

that the employers and the girls are
both tired of the strike and that, there
fore, it is likely that both sides will
welcome the course Of the Typograph-
zeal union in attempting to make
peace.
The strike yesterday assumed only
the expected features, a number Of
bookbinders being laid off because
there was no work for them to do. A
majority of these men will refuse to
return if they are asked to work with
non union girls. The girls continue to
maintain the picket system.
Much of the bookbinding that would
otherwise be done in st. Paul is being
sent to outside shops, the employers
claiming that they can get along in this
incOnvenient manner as long as the
strikers can afford to remain out.

HOLDS GOVERNMENTS
SEIZURE WAS ILLEGAL
Court Says 1t Cannot Confiscate Whis-
ky Adulterated After Inspection.

Judge Thayer, of the circuit court of
appeals, yesterday handed down a de-
cision holding that whisky which has
passed federal inspection and is subse=
quently adulterated in the process of
rectifcation, cannot be seized by the
government
The case decided was that of the A.
Graf Distilling company against the
United States collector of revenue on
appeal. Three barrels Of whisky which
has been inspected by the government
gaugers were later found to contain IL
per cent less rectified alcohol than the
original sample. The court holds that
the seizure was not justified.
