TO CELEBRATE JULY |
CITY's sEMIcENTENNIAL TO BE
OBSERVED THEN-CALEB
DOORS GENEROUS OFFER.

July / was selected yesterday as the
date for the st. Anthony Minneapolis
semlcentennial, as the committee fears
that it will be unable to arrange an
appropriate celebration in sthe three
weeks until June l. The postponement
was opposed by the members of the
Territorial Pioneers association, as
June ! is special day with them; but
the other members of the committee
prevailed. The executive committee
will meet at the mayors office to-mor-
row afternoon to fill out the working
ones as may be necessary.
1t has been decided to leave all de.
tails connected with the Masonic OBJ.
servance to Cataract lodge, No. 2, the
Oldest lodge in the city and the second
oldest in the state.
A site for the Ard Godfrey house
may be presented by Caleb Dorr, the
pioneer lumberman. He holds two lots
on First avenue southeast, in the rear
of the Pillsbury library. 1t is under
stood that he will offer them to the
city on condition that municipal art
gallery be erected thereon, space being
left for the Godfrey home. The art
gallery plan was not approved, as it is
deemed that the site is too small. Mr..
Dorr has made no definite proposition,
and all that there is before the COM
mittee is a statement from Edwin
Clark. The site is most desirable as
the permanent location Of the Godfrey
house, and if no conditions are at
tached, the committee would instantly
accept an offer.

not the traditional 'thrill-a-minute,' but
there were sensation producers enough to
leave a super-sensitive nervous system in
state of collapse. The audience evident

impossible American: newspaper man who
carried an unwieldly tablet as his badge
of servitude and was always trying to be
"cute" and with the drunken guard in a

contempt for anachron1sms, remarked that
he would Gland old Santa Claus one on the

CONAN DOYLE BARRED
FROM SCHOOL LIBRARIES

The public school library commission
Yesterday failed to see that the literary
merit Of Conan Doyle's Sherlock
Holmes stories removes them from I'M
der the ban of detective stories and re-
fused to put his latest work, ''The Re
turn of Sharlock Holiness on its list
of books to be placed in the public
school libraries of the state.
The commission is composed of the
state superintendent of public instruc-.
ton and the presidents of the normal
schools and its idea in the selection OF
books for the school Libraries is to
choose those likely to have perma-
nent value. For this reason very. few
books of modern fiction get in. Yes
terday $50 books were approved, and
Booth Harrington S s'In the Arena
was one Of very few pieces of modern
fiction admitted. The commission also
rejected Elizabeth .McCracken s
uWomen of America on the ground
that it was superficial and poorly writ
ten.
Sherlock Holmes is not in disfavor
with libraries generally, as the Mime
sofa State Library commission. which
provides travelling libraries and issues
advisory lists for the use of public Ii
braries gives him the stamp of its APP
prevail, following in this the March list
of the American Library association,
whose lists of recommended books are
in use, in all the libraries of the country.
1The Return of Sherlock Holmes is
one of the popular books at the public
library, where numerous copies are sup
piled.

Captain Edward Sigerfoos, who will
be the new commandment at the univer-
sity, is a native of Ohio and graduate
of the Ohio State university. He was
appointed a second lieutenant in the
regular army in 1891, being one of
twenty-five successful candidates for
commissions chosen from $500 appE-
cants. He was % years old when he
received his commission and is one Of
the youngest captains in the service.
Since his appointment to the army
Captain Sigerfoos has seen much active
service, including three years in the
Philippines and one and half years
in Cuba. He was commissary for Gen
eral Wood at Santiago, and as Judge
advocate in the Philippines, presided
over several murder cases. In addi-
ton he has had several important de-
tails.
Altho not a graduate of West Point
Captain Sigerfoos is an honor graduate
of the cavalry school at Fort Leaven-
worth, and his application for the Min
nesota appointment received strong
backing from army officers generally
He is brother Of DR.. Charles P. ST.
gerfoos, professor of animal biology at
the university.
The choice of Captain Sigerfoos as
professor of military tactics at the uni
versity must be approved by the wal
| department, but no trouble is expected
in securing his assignment to Mime

PENSION FOR BANK CLERKS
FRANK A. VANDERBILT, A TRUSTEE
OF CARNEGIE PROFESSORS
FUND, PROPOSES ANOTHER PEN
SION PLAN.

In the presence Of the founder of the
American Institute of Bank Clerks last
night at the annual banquet of the ST.
Paul chapter at the Aberdeen, Frank A.
Vanderbilt, vice president of the Ma
tional City bank of New York, Just
elected a trustee Of the institute, sug-
gested the consideration of a pension
plan by the organization. One Of the
most interested hearers was Joseph
of the first association Of clerks out of
which grew the national organization,
or institute.
Mr.. Vanderlip was the principal
speaker Of the evening. Nearly three
hundred. bankers, clerks and business
men were present, of whom Minneapolis
contributed a carload. 80. s..--
AS an expert on Old age pensions, Mr..
Vanderlip gave expression to an idea
which aroused the enthusiasm Of the
clerks and which will be taken up at
July, to be held in Minneapolis. , The
speaker has studied the remarkable sys-
tenn in operation in Germany and lately
he has considered with Andrew Carnegie
the problem as applied to teaching.
ct believe there are other classes en-
titled to security against an old age Of
poverty said Mr.. Vanderlip, in de-
gree, perhaps, less, but in principle as
truly as are the great teachers Of the
country. The man who lives a life of
integrity, altho subject to constant
temptation, who handles with skill, ac-
curacy and honesty vast sums Of money
in his lifetime, but retains but g. modest
amount as his salary compensation; the
man who, from the nature Of his, pro-
fession, must keep spotless record, who
may not even take those investment
chances that would be proper enough
for another man to take, and whose &C.
cumulations for old age must be by pa
| tient saving and conservative invest
ment-such man is entitled to con,
sideration.
II believe it is wrong that, such 8
man need fear an old age of poverty.
"My suggestion is that the American
institute take un this subject, study
it in the light of what has been done
in other countries; study it in the light
of some beginnings which have beer
made here, confer with the bank Of #
ficers. and finally evolve plan which
will meet with the general approval o.
the banking interests of the country.
