TO HELP NEEDY STUDENTS
Yale Musical Clubs Are Working for
Serious Purpose.

Aside from the gay songs and bright
music of the Jolly YaIE fellows who, as
members Of the Yale, Glee, Mandolin
and Banjo clubs, will represent = old
Yale. at the Auditorium: the evening
of Dec 26, the Yale spirit is present
in another form, with which the gen
eral public is seldom made acquainted.
There is. at Yale, what is known as
the poor students fund, from which
are paid "a portion Of the expenses of
those students who are not we'll
enough off in this world IS goods to put
themselves thru college. 70 this fund,
the fellows Of the clubs often contri-
butte out Of their own pockets. but they
have another way Of assisting those
not SO well to do.
In spite Of the immense expense indi-
dent to a 5000 mile journey bv special
train and the twelve days Spent on the
road, the popularity of the clubs is so
great that upon almost every trip they
are able to report to the college au-
thorities a margin Of receipts over the
expenses of the trip. This money is
invariably turned ito the Yale fund
for poor students and as such helps
many a deserving fellow thru college.
In reply to many inquiries already
made, the entertainment committee Of
the Minneapolis alumni Of Yale wish
to state that there will be no reserva-
tions given or no sAat sold before the
opening Of the regular seat sale at the
Metropolitan Music company, Thursday
morning. -

ETHICAL STANDARDS
HIGHER THAN BEFORE

"The Tracing of the Ethical Stand
ard' was the subject Of thoro and
scholarly paper read by Dr.. John IL.
Miller of Simpson church before the
weekly meeting of Methodist ministers
held this morning in Hennepin Avenue
M. E. church. DR.. Miller searched out
the ethical influences at work in So
ciety from the earliest periods down &c
modern times and arrived at this con-
clusion:
elf we note the general trend of the
ages, we cannot but acknowledge that
there has been general Improvement,
and that the ethical standards are
higher than ever before in the world S
history Nor was the frequency Of
wars and rumors of wars at the be-
ginning of the twentieth century con-
sidered denial of this statement. cit
must be remembered said DIR. Miller,
that war does not necessarily mean de-
terioration. It sometimes is the index
of higher civilization demanding the
rights of a common humanity. Our
war with Spain meant a higher ethical
standard for all time.'
= Mrs. Della Cole Geggie, national or
ganizer of the Woman s Home Mission
airy Society and head of the Bureau Of
Systema+ic and Proportionate Giving,
addressed the ministers in the interest
of the missionary society. There will
be no meetings on the two coming Mon
DAYS, and on Jan. l6 Professor Cooper
will speak on "The Value of the Study
|, Of Literature the Ministry.'s

HAVE NEW STUNTS
Watson s Orientals Give Show at Dewey
That Pleases Patrons.

New music and pretty chorus elab-
orately costumed are the chief features
of the splendid burlesque show pre-
sented by Watson $ Orientals at the
Dewey theater this week.
Nearly all of the girls are pretty,
and their drills and ensemble work are
the best seen in some time. Many Of
the drills are unusually difficult but
they are well executed and timeworn
steps are forgotten this week. The girls
have good voices ana the new songs
are featured in pretty manner. Good
taste is displayed in the costuming, and
the stage settings are bright and APP
propriate. The comedy work is in good
hands, and the audience is not tired
with slapstick work and -horseplay. The
burlesquers are full of dash and afford
good opportunities for clever work on
the part of the comedians.
The olio has several catchy numbers.
Yamamoto brothers, in their Japanese
act, have a pleasing novelty. Watson
is compelled to sing his German songs
and string out his dialect humor unit!
the audience is willing to let him 90,
and Lizzette Howe is an attractive
dancer. Swan and Bambard have an
up-to-date acrobatic turn, and Emani
Stewart closes the vaudeville bill with
a clever dancing specially.

DECLARE MATTER
IS BEYOND THEM
ALDERMEN ARE FIRM ON CON-
TRovERsY WITH MAYOR.
Contend that Incandescent Gas Light
ing Contract Has Passed Out of
!. Councils Hands and that Contro-
versy Is Between Mayor and the
Patterson Street Lighting Company.

What the aldermen will do with the
communication from Mayor David P.
Jones, announcing his purpose to with
hold his signature from all contracts
awarded in a committee report, with
out an accompanying resolution, will
depend largely upon the advice Of the
city attorney. The council committee
Healy for general discussion of the
matter. %.a
Many Of the aldermen take issue
with the mayor on the proposition that
a resolution is necessary in awarding
the contract. 1t is admitted on both
sides that the language Of the city
charter is not as clear as might be de-
that, while the wording might be made
more explicit, the provision for such a
course is at least implied.
The aldermen, with few exceptions,
contend that the ircandescent gas light
ing contract has passed out Of the hands
OF the council by reason of the fact
that the motion to reconsider the vote
ing the contract was lost. The only
controversy, they say, is between the
mayor and the Patterson Street Light
ing company, and in this they have no
personal interest.
Their position that the matter is en-
tirely out Of their hands is ridiculed by
others. While strict parliamentary
usage would not permit. the second re-
consideration of the motion to adopt the
report of the gas committee, there is
nothing to prevent the committee from
presentin gthe matter again in the form
Of resolution. .'..As-, =: d.
Should City Attorney hold that the
incandescent lighting contract was reg
ularly awarded, most of the aldermen
are in favor of taking no further ac-
tion. = = -

SHIPPERS WARNED NOT
TO SIGN PETITIONS

George s. LOTUS, the st. Paul ele-
vator man, who is taking a leading
part in the move for railroad regula-
ton, has issued circular to the mem
bers of the National Hay association,
as chairman of the transportation COM
mittee, warning them against signing
petitions against legislative action. The
circlar says in part: -
The railroad interests have rallied all
their resources, legitimate and otherwise,
in support of a final assault upon con-
gress to prevent any legislation In line
with President Roosevelt's recommended
ton for government regulation of rail-
road rates. One Of the most insidious
methods of the railroad companies which
is being actively employed at the mo-
ment, is an effort to secure signatures
Of shippers to a remonstrance against
legislative action, on the ground that
present laws will bring to the public the
relief for which 1T clamors, if such laws
are properly enforced $500. 3d..
1t Is hardly necessary to refer to the
influences that are being invoked to
secure signatures to such a document.
We know that in some instances they are
Of a character hard to withstand, and
doubtless many names will be secured
among the mass Of those who are heartily
in sympathy with President Roosevelt
policy. l
We therefore call upon the members
Of the National Hay association, which
as an organization has gone on record in
an Endorsement of the president on this
question, to rally en- masse in. his sup
port and bring their influence to bear
| upon congress in this behalf. See the
member Of congress from your district
while at home during the holiday vaca-
ton, or if you cannot see him, write tc
him that his constituents hope to see
him maintain a stand in valorous defense
of President Roosevelt in the great fight
he is leading for railroad rate reform.

at the Minneapolis club, Professor Nc
Master spoke to the students Of the

will be entertained at a banquet in the
Nicollet hotel by the Pennsylvania

In the east, when we think of the
universities of the west, there are Just
two that come to the front in our
minds,'' he said, "the University Of
Minnesota in Minneapolis, and the Uni
versity of Wisconsin at Madison. Both
these institutions have standings in the
east Of which they may we'll be proud,
and, of course. we all esteem your uni
versity president, DR.. Cyrus Ncrthrop.
Il am glad also to say word about
the character of the western young men
who come to our eastern colleges. The
young men from the west are the very
best class of students we get. They
are workers. They are young men with
serious purpose, who know what they
want and go after it. They show good
signs OF early educational training.
There is evidently a splendid system Of
early training in the west. At tie

AsPHYXIATED BY GAS
Young Man from North Dakota Dies in
Lodging House.

A young man thought to be Harold
Hunnewell of Burlington, N. D., was
asphyxiated by Illuminating gas in
lodging house at Third avenue s and
Washington, last night, and was found
dead by the, night clerk early this
morning.
When passing the room the clerk
smelled gas and breaking in the door
found the transient dead in his bed.
The gas jet was half turned on and the
young man had evidently been dead for
several hours. There was no note to
indicate suicide and Coroner Kistler
thinks it an accident. The body was
taken to the county morgue, where a
letter addressed to Hunnewell gave the
first clue to his identity. His relatives
will be notified.

WARNS SANTA CLAUS
State Fire Marshal Advises Precau-

State Fire Marshal Edward Peterson
has issued warning against the highly
infammable Christmas tree. He says
that the usual tree with its candles,
strings of popcorn, celluloid ornaments
and cotton-batting Snow, is nothing but
an immense torch ready to burst into
flame at the slightest provocation.
He especially condemns the candle
lighted tree at public gatherings, where
a large number Of women and children
are crowded into small place and a
blaze means panic, with possible loss
of life.
Mr.. Peterson also calls attention to
the number Of men and women killed
the cotton batting or oakum wigs and
whiskers used IN the Santa Claus make
up. The fiber, says Mr.. Peterson,
should be soaked in alum water to make
it freproof. II.
