TO HONOR MEMORY
OF GEN. SANBORN
Chamber of Commerce and
Ramsey County Bar Fix
Dates for Memorials.

In the district court yesterday Os-
car Hallam called the official atten-
ton of the court to the recent death
of Gen. John B. Sanborn, who was for
many years member of the Ramsey
county bar. Mr.. Hallam asked that
committee be named to draw up proper
resolutions, and the request was grant
ed by Judge Jaggard, who named June
II as day for hearing the resolu-
lions. The committee selected by
Judge Jaggard to draw up the resolu-
tions is made up of Oscar Hallam, Har-
ris Richardson, GreenIeaf Clark,
Charles E. Otis, ]. F. Fitzpatrick and
F. G. Ingersoll.
The St. Paul Chamber of Commerce
yesterday fixed Tuesday for memorial
to Gen. Sanborn, former president
and director of the chamber, in recog-
milton of his life and example. Di-
rectors j. D. Ludden, w. P. Murray and
Peter Berkey will present a memo
rial and d. r. Noyes, w. P. Murray
and others will make short addresses.
A general meeting of the chamber has
been called for $3.50 o'clock to pay the
proper respect to the memory Of Gen.
Sanborn.

BIG BACK PENSION
Widow of Civil War Veteran to
Receive $4,000.

A Minneapolis widow Of a Civil war
veteran yesterday received notification
OF the allowance OF her pension claim,
and she will receive In addition to a
monthly allowance sufficient to care for
her immediate needs, back pension pay
aggregating $4,000.
The claim is the largest ever OBJ
tanned through the medium of the state
adJutant generals office. 1t had previ-
ously been given to pension attorney,
who had failed to secure it's allowance.
and the fact that it was successfully
put through the pension bureau at
Washington is naturally regarded with
some pride by the adjutant generals
department in the Minnesota state
capitol.
The beneficiary Is a woman eighty
four years of age and in feeble health.
Her joy upon receiving news of the al
IoWance of her claim, so long pending
can better be imagined than described.
Her hand shook so violently from her
emotion that she could scarcely COM
mand herself sufficiently to sign the
pension voucher, but she left the office
with a certainty that the few years re-
naming to her could be spent without
thought Of financial distress.
The adjutant generals Office de-
clined to disclose the name of the for
tunate woman. A recent ruling by the
Washington bureau forbids the publi-
cation through official channels of the
names of those who share in the gov
ernment's bounty by way OF pensions,
and the Minnesota Office declines to de-
part from the rule.

1t was this lucky strike that induced
Fielder to bid. The auctioneer offered

the seller Of the old and forgotten grin.
There was no response to his call.
Even the reckless buyers hesitated to
purchase such a worthless piece of

from Fielder.

STREET CAR RUNS
DOWN AN OLD MAN
Careless Motornan Fails to Stop Car
and Farmer Is Thrown From Track.

Patrick Madden was run down and
severely injured by a street car at Sew
en- corners last evening.
Mr.. Madden is an elderly farmer
from Langdon, N. D. Being unmar-
ried, destitute and i'll, he has been car
ed for, during the last six months, at
the St. Paul home of the Little Sisters
of the Poor. This week, however, he
felt well enough to return home. He
secured a pass and arranged to start
for Langdon last night.
AS he was crossing Fourth street at
Seven Corners, about o'clock last
evening, intending to take a SeIby line
car, east bound, for the union station,
he failed to notice a car west-bound
on the same line. He is slightly deaf
and he did not look around when the
car approached. But the motorman
relied entirely on his gong, and the in
valid from the country was promptly
swept off the crossing and thrown out
in the street, where he lay unconscious.
He was removed in the Central po
lice station ambulance to the city hos
pital, recovering consciousness on the
way. At the hospital a surgeon said
that none of Mr.. Madden's bones were
broken but that he was severely bruis-
ed and was suffering from the shock.

organized.

j. A K1dweu, Columbus, Ohio, pres
ident of the National Association of
Railway Postal Clerks, was the guest
Of the Twin City railway clerks yes
terday, and at the Windsor hotel last
night addressed a gathering of the
members of his association.
Mr.. Kidwell, in speaking of the work
of the association, said:
I'VE are trying to secure a complete
reorganization of the service, which
has existed with few changes from
1878, when the railway mail service
was in it's very infancy. While there
have been minor changes injected into
the law, the main body of the act I'M
der which the railway mail clerks work
is the same as it was twenty-five years
ago.
"One Of the principal points for
Which We contend is a fixed compen-
satiOn and that our men may not be at
the mercy of the caprice of any man.
The present law provides that salaries
shall not exceed and we want that
Limitation cut out. The average salary
paid railway mail clerks is but 81 900
per annum, and, compared with other
government employees, it is considera-
bly, below the average. The letter car
riers get more than this, and we want
statements show that the average ex-
penditure for the cost of living when
mail clerks are out on the road is bet
ter than $3.50 per year, and we think
that lnasmuch as we are the only gov
eminent employees who are not given a
per diem the matter should be equal
lied by legislation.
Have Test Case Pending.
I'VE believe that there is a law COW
ering the case and we have a test
case pending before the court of claims
at Washington involving the question.
We hope to obtain travel pay under
this decision, but if we fail we shall
renew our efforts before congress.
Our association has, we believe,
been of benefit to the mail service as
well as to its membership. We have
worked hard to that end, at all events"

ATTACK ORDINANCE
Trading Stamp Men Would
Force Fight in Courts.

The trading stamp case" had its
first round in the courts yesterday,
when Andrew Schoch, the grocerynan,
asked for a temporary injunction re-
straining the city from enforcing the
ordinance recently passed by the coun-
Gil compelling trading stamp compa-
MES and dealers using the stamps to
secure a license.
The application was argued before
Judge Orr, and while the decision was
reserved, the trading stamp people
contend that they have gained the
first point, inasmuch as Corporation
Attorney Michael, representing the
city, admitted in court that there was
no effort being made at the present
time to enforce the ordinance, and
that there would be none until after
the case had been tried ION it's mer-
its" at the June term of court.
Mr.. Schoch, who is supported in his
suit by the trading stamp people, was
represented in court by Thomas Nc
Dernott and by Benton Crisp, the lat
ter attorney being the New York coun-
sci for the trading stamp company.
The court was asked to enjoin the
city from putting the ordinance into
effect, but Corporation Attorney Mi
chael thought there was no use in
taking the matter up at the present
time. He said the stamp company and
the dealers who handled the stamps
were not being interfered with, there
being no attempt to enforce the or6i-
nance. So long as the ordinance was
not to be enforced before the case had
been tried at the regular term of court
in June, Mr.. Michael thought there
was no necessity for a restraining Or
der.
But you have the ordinance on the
books; it must be there for some pur-
pose" said the counsel for M. Schoch.
1T surely is not a dead letter; how do
we know, if this application is not
granted, when we will be called upon
to obey the ordinance. This matter is
merely question of law, and might as
we'll be settled now as at any time"
Judge Orr then heard the arguments
in favor Of and against the motion for
an injunction, taking the matter under
advisement.
Attorney Crisp contended that the law
imposing a license on the users Of
trading stamps is unconstitutional and
void, the arguments being made on this
grounds.

GERMAN METHOD|STS
PLAN new HOSPITAL
St Paul Conference Will Estab.
lish Deaconess Home and
Hospital in City.

German Methodists of the St. Paul
conference will either build a deacon
ess' home and hospital in st. Paul or
will buy residence and convert it into
an institution for the purpose indicated.
At the annual conference of the ST.
Paul district, which concluded its ses-
sions yesterday at Chippewa Falls.
Wis, the plans for a deaconess' home
and hospital were discussed and a
committee was named to canvass the
situation as regards an available site,
or the purchase of a residence for the
purpose and the financial considera-
lions involved.
Rev. Herman E. Young living at No.
743 Case street, is presiding elder of
the conference, which includes all Of
Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. He
has fifty churches under his charge and
is the moving spirit in the plan to Sc
cure for st. Paul a deaconess' home
and hospital.
Several large subscriptions have been
pledged to aid the enterprise, and one
plan contemplates the purchase of the
Middleton residence on Dayton's bluff
for the purchase. The house is a large
structure and there are spacious
grounds about it. A price has been
obtained on the property with a view
to its purchase by the German Meth
odists
The German Methodists have a SINH
lar institution to the one promised for
st. Paul at Berea, Ohio, and their lead
ers say that there is an excellent field
for another UNCONVENTIONAL hospital in
st. Paul.
At the Chippewa conference Rev.
Herman E. Young was reelected pre-
siding elder, and Rev. c. F. Blume, also
OF st. Paul, was chosen secretary
treasurer.
