ORIENTAL COURTESY.
An Incident In which Miss Anna
Dickinson Figured.

IN AMcA0eMN IN ma" 49,
Dickinson Figured.
Miss Anna Dickinson Travelled every
where independently and saw human
nature in all OF its lairs. Writing to
woman friend once, she described re-
ception given by wealthy Cinnamon in
a restaurant kept by Chi Lung In San
Francisco, and she was the guest or
honor. She said that she saw sery-
ant coming toward her with a box dl-
vided into many compartments, with
different kinds OF nuts and candles in
the smaller trays. She picked out half
a dozen or more and laid them on the
arm of the chair, which served as ia
bic. As the attendant passed on TO
others she saw that each took only one
bonbon, and she was much embar-
rassed.
But when the servant approached the
chief Chinaman, the one who had orig
mated the reception, he took a large
handful. and those after him did the
same, and then Miss Dickinson felt re-
lleved. She wrote:
after l learned that l must have
shocked all Of those educated, cultured
Cinnamon as much as you or | should
have been shocked II we had invited
Chinaman whom we respected to dine
with us and he had taken a whole fried
chicken and torn It limb from limb at
our table. In such an event would you
or have had the tact and courtesy to
have taken other chickens and thus

De Soto county will in the next few

LesaoNs Lon TAE EQUITABLE

LESSONS FROM THE EQUITABLE
when the Equitable insurance Squab-
Die was begun many who looked be-
meath the surface Of the conclusion
thai whatever might have been the
motives at the beginning which promp-
sd the officials who are waging war
Do each other. the real fight was be-
tween Morgan and Hartman for the
pontrol OF the company with its enor-
nons assets. No one imagined that
.siner Morgan or Hartman proposed
20 utilize these assets in any but a
legitimate way, but how vast is the
power which the control Of such a COM
pany gives may be realized from the
fact that the s4oO, 100000 OF assets Of
che Equitable is equal TO more than
half OF the national banking capital Of
the United States. The purchase of
control OF the company by Mr.. Ryan,
and his close association with Mr..
Morgan, taken in connection with
other things bearing on the matter,
can only be interpreted as a Morgan
victory, thus enabling Mr.. Morgan to
add one more vast aggregation OF
wealth to his encourage. With the
Equitable and the New York Life
closely affiliated with Morgan inter-
ests, and with the Mutual Life prob
ably not unfriendly-in fact the report
now being that the Mutual Life is in
terested in the purchase of the Equt-
able-the enormous power OF the 81,
500. 900 900 assets owned or controlled
BY these three companies is probably
practically massed for any active iinan-
YiaI movement. This power is too
mst for safety and for the good of the
sDuntry
It will be better in the long run
should the fight in and for the Equit-
able cause the whole country to serious
ly consider the question OF Insurance.
1t seems hardly possible to believe
Chat tile purchase of a control of the
stock and the management of this
property by people who have been bit
terly assailed Cor alleged illegal acts
will overcome the criticisms which
havs been called out by the recrim-
inatioLs OF the officers and directors,
and II the final result of all this trou-
BILE should lead to a lessening Of the
power Of few of the great insurance
companies the country will be better
on for IT, We believe thas the enor-
nous drain of money from every sect.
ion into the treasury of few big in
surance companies is a distinct disad-
vantage. It has resulted in too great
a concentration OF wealth and power
aud at the same time in too great
cost OF insurance. For years the
South and the West have poured into
the East millions and tens of millions
for insurance premiums. In times
past tsis may have been necessary,
but now the South is financially strong
enough to organize its own insurance
companies. and It ought to finance
many Of its own business undertakings |
and ough thus to concentrate in its
own companies, banking, insurance
aud others, some Of the vast wealth
which it has heretofore been helping
TO pile up in New York. The South
should begin to seriously study ways
and means to stop some Of the enor-
nous tribute which for years it has
paid to the power and wealth OF New
York's great insurance companies.

r. E. c. EXTENSION.

Many persons are DESTROYS Of know
ing how Mr.. Flagler ever expects to
make his investment Of from forty to
fifty million Of dollars in the extension
Of the Florida East Coast railroad pay.
They seem to overlook the fact that
"Uncle Henry" looks far into the fu-
ture and that the Panama Canal is
under construction When that great
work is finished, Key West with the
finest and largest terminals south Of
Philadelphia and with her extreme
southern location will be an import
ant city among southern sea ports.
She will be the gateway through which
will pass thousands upon thousands Of
tons OF goods from Central and South
America and from the Orient. The
Florida East Coast Railroad will be
the best equipped to handle the i'm
mense shipments and will doubtless
get the major part of them. Mr..
Flagler isn't asleep 10y any means.

the education of the sexes he said,
tsgive the preference to the boy. Too
often the girl is the one to whom tho
education is given. This should not be.
The boy will be the man with man g
responsibility: He should be given

form was the same as Baxter permitted
to be used some years ago when he was
district attorney.
Attorney Paul Ewert, in opening the
case for the state, outlined at length
the charges the prosecution would pre-

His Document Shows Good Work Done
in Many Fields

His Document Shows Good Work Done
in Many Fields.
President Wilhelm Koren of the Nor
wegian Lutheran synod presented
carefully prepared report to the first
business meeting Of the synod yester-
day. "Formand' Koren, as he is
called, is one Of the fathers Of the
synod. He did not assist at the or
ganization ffty-one years ago, but he
came to America few months after
ward, and for a half century has been
ton. H.
! He advocated the greater use Of the
English language in church work in
order to hold the young people. The
catechlsm will be issued in English this
year. The tendency toward material
ism in American life, the lack of inter
est in the communion services and the
sentiment in favor Of unionism were
deplored as dangerous to the welfare of
the church.
Good reports were received on mis-
sion work in Utah, Alaska and in the
home field. The Orphans Home in
Alaska and other institutions there were
becoming self-supporting thru their
reindeer herds. The fund for the pen
sioning of teachers and supporting the
widows and orphans of clergymen, tho
only started q year ago, already had
$1,000. President Koren recommended
additional land for Luther seminary at
Hamline, dormitory and library for
Luther college at DEBORAH and other
improvements.
Rev. K. Biorgo reported that con-
tracts had been let for the normal
school at Sioux Falls aggregating $27,-
$50, in addition to which the synod
would have to provide means for a
heating, plant and electric wiring of
the building.

LITTLE BOY FIGHTS
A BIG POLICEMAN

Keeling along the street in drunk
en- frenzy and dragging with her a
also vs: trying to make ky drunk, Wv wom man
who described herself as Grace Busch,
was arrested and locked up at Central
station last night. But before they ar
rested the woman two big policemen
had lively tussle with the little boy.
"I'n jist throw you clear down stairs
if you touch her again. said the lit
tie fellow, altho there were no stairs
near. Then he darted for the legs of
Patrolman Ben White. It took some
time to quiet the boy.
Before being arrested the woman had
forced the child to drink two glasses
Of beer, and afterward he was taken
with violent nausea.
The Humane society today took the
boy from the woman keeping. His
mother is dead and his father, who
travels, had asked the Busch woman to
board the boy. He knew nothing Of
her police record. She was sent to the
workhouse today for twenty days.

GRAIN DEALERS WARY

e. s. Woodwork, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, returned to Min
neapols this morning from the Tri State
Grain Dealers convention at Sioux Falls.
He made extensive inquiry as to wheat
crop prospects, and found that the large
number Of men In attendance at the con-
vention were all more or less solicitious.
Generally speaking the crop Is ten days
behind time as to maturity. The wealth
er will make this up bring the plant along
in time, If 1t turns warmer soon, but con-
tinuation Of present conditions will mean
late harvest.
There Is some rust in the wheat, Mr..
Woodwork says, but while this suggests
the possibility of trouble later, it is too
early yet for any worry.

PARK BOARD MIND
IS not MADE UP
SUNDAY TENNIS IN LORING PARK
CAUSES SYMPOSIUM.
Superintendent Berry Says Officers Will
Be Instructed to Allow No Playing
Platt B. Walker Is Willing to Have
the Question Debated - Professor
Folweu is Personally Against Play
on Sabbath.

Just where the park board stands on
the matter of Sunday games In the
parks, especially lawn tennis in Loring
park, is something which even the board
itself is unable to answer. Superln-
tendent w. M. Berry says that the
and that the board officers will be IN
structed to allow no tennis playing.
He does not know that there is any
ruling. DR.. Folwel says that he, per-
sonally, is against all Sunday. games,
but that the board might be willing to
allow them if it became necessary to
pass rule. A short time ago the board
playing in the new Parade, near the
railroad tracks.
There has been complaint that ten
mis- playing has been going on in Lorlng
park on Sunday, and that it is objec-
tionable. A widow with four boys has
complained that her Sunday IS DIS u.s.
the players is demoralizlng.
Several members Of the board were
interviewed in the matter, but none
knew of any rule against Sunday games.
When asked what the board would
probably do in case the matter came
up, several members thought, that it
would be allowed. ''The board tries to
satisfy the public,':', said Alderman T:
board. Nff it seemed that Sunday
games were wanted, the board would
Probably allow it unless serious obJec-
tions we're raised by the, residents near
the park and the public"
DR.. W. w. Folwell thought that the
board would allow tennis on Sunday II
the matter came up for action, but has
tened to state that he, personally, was
opposed. The action OF the BOARD n
allowing Sunday baseball on the Parade
is justified on the ground that the spot
which is used for this purpose is in one
corner Of the plat, where the only resi-:
dents who might be disturbed are those
in the boxcars on the St.. Louis rail-
road tracks. .5'@ "a.

CLOUD ON BONDS
Boston Legal Authorities Find Flaw in
School Issue.

r . .
Story & Thorndyke. the noted law
yers Of Boston have refused to approve
as legal the recent issue Of school bonds
authorized bw the state legislature. In
consequence 3. H. Rollins & Sons have
refused to take the bonds until the
cloud has been removed. The cloud is
merely technical one and can easily
be cleared away, but it will take some
time and may delay the work on the
Holland and Horace e. Mann l' schools on on
which work has already been started.
The point is made by Story & Thorn
dyke that the curative act Of the legis-
lature in authorizing the issuance Of
the bonds constitutes special legisla-
tion. This question has been passed
upon so many times by the supreme
court and particularly in the case of
the armory bonds, which was decided
only last fall that, the city officials are
surprised that any lawyer should raise
this question now. 4.
