Indian mothers have method of pre-
venting needless crying of babies
which, though II does not err on the
side of gentlencss. is ctlicacious. In
infancy children are entirely under the
control of their mothers or nurses. and

crying and preventing the formation
of the habit Is to cover the baby's

New Building to be Dedicated
Free of Debt about Oct. 1.
From Fridays Daily.

The directors of the Young Mems
Christian association held a meeting
last evening at the home of w. d. Will
ard, every director being present. The
expense account was gone over and the
directors found themselves $4,000 short
on the new building, which is exactly the
amount that they had estimated that
they would be short. 1t is hoped to
have this amount raised before the build
ing is dedicated, so that it may be dedi-
Gated free from debt. The directors are
pleased with the work of the building
committee, as the building has been
erected at less cost than some smaller
Y. NJ. c. A. buildings in other places
have cost.
Everything is now under contract, and
the building will be completed in ev-
cry respect when it is opened. The only
point not yet arranged is in regard to
the Turkish baths, and it may be that
tickets for these will be sold before they
are put in.
The new building will be dedicated
about Oct lst, and Mr.. Willard will APP
point a committee to arrange for it.
The furniture has all been arranged for
| by the ladies' auxiliary. A committee
will be appointed to have charge of the
letting of the dormitory rooms.
The winters work of the association
was discussed fully. 1t was decided
to have the educational department, the
same as heretofore, with night school.
An intelligence bureau may be started
for the benefit of young men who come
to the city and want work. Special
terms will be arranged for the student
members who want the facilities of the
building. A physical director will be
employed for the athletic department. A
special lecture course to be given in the
building will be provided in addition to
the regular citizens lecture course at the
opera house. In other ways, the asso-
citation proposes to advance its good
work and make itself useful in the COM
munity, getting all of the good that it
can out of the splendid new building,

from his son Walter. who is on a bat
tleship The communication is dated
Gibraltar, Spain, Aug. 9. Fowler states
that while the ship was at Trieste, he
made trip to Venice, and there enjoy
ed a ride in dongola. At Athens Fow-
Ter saw all there was of interest. He
took stroll through the ancient ruins,
and stood on the rock from which Paul
preached to the multitudes. He sat in
one of the old theatres, but Walter adds !:
II would rather sit in Sibley park for
five minutes" At Lisbon Fowler wit
messed ten bull fights. One of those
that fought the maddened animals was a
woman, and she is described as having
been better than all the other fighters.

woman picked it up and handed it to me.

up hat like that. I was seated right

DEMOCRATS CONFER.
Party Seems to be Satisfied With Re-
publican Officials.
Prom Mondays Daily.

rrom mondays Danv.
Some twenty democrats, mostly
from this city, held meeting in the Of
flee of A. R. Pau Jr. this afternoon to
try to get up ticket for the county
offices. The democrats are satisfied with
the way the republicans have run things,
there is no enthusiasm in the party, and
it has been feared that nobody cared
enough to make the run for any of the
offices. 1t appears that one or two are
willing to run, but their show would be
slim unless there was full ticket up.
As last resort, there being but two
more days left to file, this meeting was
called in the hope that by some hook or
crook or by dint of strong persuasion
some more persons might be brought
out.
Nobody who was present wanted to
run for any of the offices, knowing that
there is no show, but the absence of
some others was taken advantage of to
suggest their names.
1t was decided to run Hugh Quinn of
Mapleton, Mayor c. T. Taylor of Man.

& Nettleton, Mankato. Dear Friends:
Please accept my thanks for the letter
of recommendation you sent me some
time ago. l am now employed in the Of
flee of Warner & Andrus, and am doing
nicely. / consider that l owe my sue
cess to the most excellent training
received in your school. Since coming
to st. Paul | have visited several bust
ness colleges, and l must confess that |
should dislike to advise any of nv
friends to come here for a business and
shorthand education. In my opinion Mr.
Ball has no equal as penman teacher.
That is not my opinion alone, but it is
the opinion of the 600 he instructed last
winter.
l have been talking to several young
people here about your school, and |
feel sure that 1 shall be able to interest
several to attend the NJ. C. C.
Again thanking you for all you have
done for me, | am yours truly,
B. A. WARNER.
