MINNESOTA NEWS,
Driven by Hunger.

Driven to desperation by the panga
of hunger, Frank Hickey, about 20,
and recent arrival in Minneapolis,
snatched a purse from a woman as she
was standing in front of the show win
dow of a Nicollet avenue department
store.
After getting the purse Hickey made
plunge through the crowd, lodged
around a show case that stood in the
doorway, but was hemmed in and ap'
pretended before he could make his es-
cape.
Hickey cried bitterly when locked up,
saying that he had never been in trou-
BILE before and laid the blame to the
desperate straits he had been in since
his arrival in the city.
The woman whose purse was taken
heard the story Hickey told the officers
and declared that she would not prose
cute the young man.
1.-THE purse contained only two dol
lars" she remarked, land believe he
is telling the truth and l haven't the
heart to prosecute him."

All Women.

The convention of the Ladies Catho-
lie Benevolent association, which will
be held in Saint Paul, July 1920, will
be an event of more than usual inter-
est. The association is fraternal in
surance society for Catholic women,
and the fact thstit is managed entirely
by women makes it unique among the
larger successful business enterprises of
the country. All of the supreme Off
GERS of the association, with the ex-
ception of supreme spiritual adviser,
are women and there are no men con-
nected with the association in any ca
pacity except as medical examiners.
The men would be probably excluded
from these positions were it possible to
secure in all places competent women
physicians.

Found in the River.

The body of young woman was
found in the river by workmen at the
st. Paul boom. 1t was afterward sent
to the county morgue, where it re-
mains unidentified. There are indi-
cations of foul play, but as Coroner A.
w. Miller is out of the city no official
investigation has been made.
A long, narrow neck scarf, such as is
worn by women, was tied tightly in
four knots about the neck, the skin
was broken and the tongue protruded
from the mouth. 1t is supposed that
the woman was either strangled be-
fore being thrown into the river or had
attempted to strangle herself, and fail
ing to accomplish her end, jumped into
the river.

the fight in the resolutions committee
and in the convention, by Congressman
William Alden Smith, of Graad Rapids

troit, for broader declaration in the
platform in favor of primary reform

ment of the party and the other was on
the nomination for auditor general.

Warner, of Pennington, who was nom
mated for governor, Homer Warren, OF
Detroit, and George B. Horton, of Fruit
Ridge, were placed in nomination. Be-
fore the first ballot was finished, how
ever, it was evident that Mr.. Warner
had received large majority, and Mr..
ed and the unanimous vote cast for Mr..

enthusiasm.

is as follows: For lieutenant governor
Alexander Maitland, of Negaunee; state
treasurer, Frank P. Glazier, of Chelsea;

state board of education, L. L. Wright,
of Ironwood; land commissioner, w. H.
Rose, of Clinton.
The amendment to the resolutions
prepared by Congressman Smith and
Senator Simons, pledging the party to
the nomination of governor by direct
vote was defeated by vote of TIA to 3O4
The platform, which was very short
indorses the platform adopted by the
national convention at Chicago; in
dorses Roosevelt and Fairbanks and ex-
presses confidence in a memorable VIC
tory for the state ticket and "our fear

At the Fair.

Arrangements are being made by the
state fair managers to make the live
stock department and the race pro-
gram more attractive than ever. The
race program have been revised and
amplifed by the managers for the next
fair, which will open Aug. 90. The
race program will be enlarged by two
purses of $1,000 and $4,000, making
the total of purses offered more than
SIS, 600. The meet is expected to be
the most important held in the west
this season.
The most interesting departure in
the live stock department is the offer
of a score of premiums exclusively for
sheep owned in Minnesota.

The Light Of CRYSTALS.

All diamonds do not shine in the
dark after exposure to sunlight or cleo
trio light, but some do to a remark
able degree. A diamond rubbed with a
voolen cloth, or against a hard surface,
will sometimes shine brilliantly. The
emission of light is property belong
ing to many, If not all, kinds of crys-
tails. A variety of white marble found
at Hastings-on-Hudson gives out a
fiame-colored glow when pounded, and
bright flashes when scratched with
steel. In northern New York is found
kind of stone, known locally as "hell-
fire rock" which exhibits bright sui
phur-colored streaks when scratched in
the dark. Pieces Of rose quartz rubbed
together exhibit brilliant flashes, some
times bright enough to illuminate the
hands Of the person holding them.
Smoked quartz and other varieties
sometimes show similar phenomenon.

done had not this opportunity for a
change been offered him. AS it is he is
now given an opportunity to secure a
