USING UP MONEY
INTERNATIONAL UNION. ISSUES
CALL FOR FUNDS.
Demands on International Treasury
Amount to $4,000 a Week, It Is Said,
and Special Defense Fund Amounted
to Only $4,000 at Beginning Of
Struggle.

Money, more money, seems to be the
cry of the International Typographical
union. which is now engaged in COM
bat with the International Typothetae.
the principles at stake being the eight
hour day and the open. shop. A circu-
date of Oct. 10, addressed to the Of
fcers and members of the subordinate
unions and signed by James M. Lynch,
Hugo Miller and J. w. Brentwood, the
executive committee of the Internal
ional union, puts the situation up to
the various local unions of the coun-
try. ~
that there is more behind the call than
guage of the circular is clear and ex.
plicit. The circular calls attention to
the fact that 5000 men are out on the
strike at the present time and that
the demands on the International treas
ury amount to $4,000 week. While
the strike has been successful in some
places there are other cities where
there is stubborn contest. The cir
cular then goes on to say that the reg
ury are not sufficient when several
thousand members are out for weeks
At the beginning Of the struggle
the special defense fund amounted to
$4,000, which will be sufficient to care
fol-, the demands now being made but
a short time. . i
The purpose Of the call is to urge
upon the branches Of the trade not
affected and those unions which have
been, successful in securing their de
mands, an agreement to special strike
assessment of so cents week fo1
each member. To bring this about

A sNAPPY, NEW SHOW
London Gaiety Girls Are Making Good
at the Dewey. .st . 80 .

CIV sa%S AS"OSs
The London Gaiety Girls are MAX
ing things lively at the Dewey this
week with snappy and M np-to-date bur
a new one, fresh from the east, but it
promises to be welcomed by the regu-
lar patrons along with the old-timers
that have made good for several sea-
sons. ... 49,. ..
The burlesques are full Of dash and
altho they do not contain much of a
plot, are replete with catchy features.
Some Of the strongest features VI are
furnished by the chorus in the musical
hits. Several new songs have been OBJ
tanned exclusively for this company
and many of them deserve permanent
popularity. Comedians are in abundance
and all Of them make good. The bur-
lesques offer them ample opportunity
and they make the most of it.. There
is very little of the cut and dried sort
of entertainment in the whole show.
| The chorus is composed of prettilv
gowned girls who are well drilled in
their difficult marches and ensembles.
| ALL of them sing well and nearly half
of them give catchy speeialties. ~
| There are some excellent features in
the olio bill. Grace Dean, formerly an
imitator in Woodland leads with
an excellent musical number which
! DIlugS uei mOIe applduSe, IMAM she
really cares for. The .Vedmars have
put new life into an old-style acrobatic
. act, and Ferguson and Watson make
| good in their sidewalk turn. Glare
Adams and Eva Swin5urn have been
| seen here, before in their sister act
and they make their usual hit, while
Bissett and Scott are better than the
average dancers.
Many Of the best scenic effects and
speciality numbers are presented in the
last burlesque.

THE GRIGGS LECTURES
"Moral Leaders. From Socrates to Toll
stoy," the Subject.

"Moral Leaders. From Socrates to Toll
stoy," the Subject.
+ To hear the foremost lecturer before
the American people today is the invita-
ton the Minneapolis Teachers club
the surrounding territory. The lecturer
is Edward Howard Griggs, the educator,
thinker and philosopher, and his message
is embodied in a series Of six lectures en-
titled Moral Leaders, From Socrates to
Tolstoy" which commences Monday eve
ining,& NOV. 6, in the First Baptist
church, and will continue every Monday
evening thereafter until Dec. II. The
leaders to be used by the lecturer in
calculating his theme are Socrates, Sa-
vonarola, Victor Hugo, Carlyle, Emerson
and Tolstoy.
Mr. Griggs, although he has long been
absent from his native state, was born
in Minnesota. His insight into the prob
lens which confront the nation, as well
as the home and the school, is and has
always been truly marvellous, and it Is
no wonder that as soon as he had COM
pleted his. college course he was selected
to teach in his own university, and later
was selected to fill the chair of assistant
professor of ethics and education in LIE.
land Stanford, Jr., university of Cali
fornia. .,.~.!
+. He taught there for ten years, two Of
them, however,, being spent in study and
research in Europe, and in 1899 he left
the professors chair for the still more
congenial field of the lecturer.
His choice has indeed proved to be
good. His habits of study had made him
a., deep and close thinker and reasoner.
His natural tendencies toward the forces
that uplift and elevate, furnishing the
channel Of thought, and his experience
ON the platform, and the natural grace
and charm of his manner and the earn
estness of his purpose have all combined
to make him the ideal lecturer.
Tickets for the series can be procured
from the members Of the Teachers CLUB
and will be placed on sale next week at
the METROPOLITAN Music store. There are
no reserved seats. ..- =-~-

Samuel A. Minton, clerk. at the
Commercial club, dropped dead from
heart failure early Sunday morning
while running down the stairs of the
Lindley block, Nicollet avenue and Sew
enth street, to escape fire that had
started on the fourth floor.
The fire started in the room occu-
pied by Mrs. G. Camp on the third floor;
box of matches had become ignited
and Mrs. Camp and her friend Mrs.
Palmer went thru the halls and awak-
ened the roomers, who were in danger.
Mr.. Minton had just returned from his
work, and as he opened the door he saw
the flames leaping up the stairway. He
called to his wife and the two hurried
down the stairs leading to Nicollet
avenue.
They had gone but a few steps when
M N stumbled and fell on his face.
men who were rushing up the stairs
carried him into the office of DR.. Han
ley on the second floor. Here DR.. F.
+. Hufnail worked over him for some
time, but he died half an hour later.
Coroner Kistler was summoned, and
he agreed with other physicians that
the man was stricken with heart failure
occasioned by fright. He was probably
unconscious at the moment he STUN
bled. r. -
There were several other narrow es-
capes during the fire and several per-
sons were rescued blythe fremen. ''Aun-
ty' Devole, an aged blind woman, was
found unconscious on the floor Of her
room on the third floor and was carried
down by the firemen. Cora Ross Clark,
who also lives on the third floor, ran
thru the flames. that were leaping out
of Mrs Camps room, carrying her little
/ daughter in her arms. Both gained the
street without injury. y,
= The fire was soon extinguished and
the loss will not exceed $500. i
Samuel Minton, whose life was lost,
had been employed at the Commercial
club for two years. He was formerly
engaged in the hotel business at Will
mar, Mimi, and was one of the first
proprietors Of the Brunswick hotel in
this city. He was a member of the
local lodge Of Elks and is survived by
widow and two brothers.

EDUCATORS TO CONFER
Plan for College Of Education at State
University to Be Discussed.

On the evening Of Nov. 8 a meeting
of unusual Importance to the education
al interests of the state will be held in
Minneapolis. For the purpose of dis
cussirg plans for establishing college
Of education at the state university, the
city school superintendent, the presi-
dents of the state normal schools, the
superintendent Of public instruction,
and members of the faculty have been
invited to meet in Minneapolis by
Superintendent G. M. Jordan Of Mime

the university.
The meeting will follow an informal
dinner at Donaldson's tea rooms and
DR.. Cyrus Northrop will preside. Many
schoolmen Of the state have signifed
an interest in the affair and will be
present.
1t is believed by students Of the sit
e tha c %hegge eped2 sdg1
for grade and high school teachers
may be given would be a great benefit
to the educational interests of the
state. Considerable attention is given
to this sort Of work now, but with a
| special department working along regu-
lar lines, and paying particular atten-
ton to training teachers, much more
could be accomplished and the college
would have in addition a unifying infu,
ence on the educational work Of the
| state ...~
The plan contemplatcs a course that
may be begun with the junior year OF
the academic course and provides fol
bachelors and masters degrees. A
special course of lectures will be a part
of the work, the lectures being provided
for out of a fund for that special pur
pose. In this way the students would
be able to have the benefit Of studying
the methods Of the foremost educators
Of the country.

MAY BE MURDERER

l. Hardy Norby, 20 years old, is near
death at the city hospital and his
father, Christ Norby, is a fugitive from
justice, having stabbed the boy in
family quarrel early this morning.
Norby, the elder, has not been living
with his family for some time, but
this morning he went to the house and
demanded that he be let in. The boy
tried to prevent his entrance and the
father took out his knife and stabbed
him in the side. Thinking he had killed
his son, he ran from the house and
has not been seen since.

occasions, once for support and
once for beating his son.

obtained a job in the woods and was
given transportation by one Of the EN-.

Coffin Plates Onre Used as House Orr
namenfs In Maine -

Coffin Plates Onre Used as House Or
naments In Maine.
In New England 100 years ago it was
by no means uncommon for people to
provide their collins long before their
death and keep the same in their
houses, where they could see them ev-
cry day. It was perhaps custom hav-
ing the same purpose and significance
as the skeleton at the feasts Of the an
cient Greeks, to remind the living in
their hours Of leyity of the seriousness
of life and the certainty of DEATH
This was not the idea, however, of a
man named Lindsey, whom people now
living in Leeds may remember or at
least have heard Of. He built his own
coffin many years before he died and
used to keep it in chamber of his
house. He used it generally to keep
beans in. 1t was a very fine coffin,
made of mahogany and nicely finished
and polished. Mr.. Lindsey made it
with his own hands and gave as reason
that if he left the task of providing
him with coffin to his sons it would
be just like them to put him in hem
lock one. Perhaps the boys did not
relish the implication. At any rate.
they did not like to have the coffin
about the house and took it away one
night and threw it into the river. It
was found several miles below, consid-
erably broken and battered as it went
over the rips, and old Lindsey heard
about it, drove down and got it and
was finally buried In it.
Another queer custom that prevailed
In this section Of Maine down to a
comparatively recent date was that Of
removing the plate from the coffin after
the funeraf and just before the body:
was lowered into the grave and keeping
it in the best room In the house among
the ornaments and bric-a-brac. The
writer saw one of these greWsome ex-
hibits on the mantel of Lincolnyille
parlor not more than twenty five years
ago, and we shouldn't be surprised If
quite a number Of them could be found
in the old houses throughout Maine.
