HE public library art gallery,
week now, in order to make the
necessary preparations for the loan ex-
hibition,, will reopen tomorrow even
ing on the occasion Of the private view
the Society of Fine Arts. There will
be no reception formalities, except
such new dignity and beauty of wei,
come as the array of paintings will
furnish. For this exhibition will show
that in the nearly ten years since the
last loan exhibition was held, the fash
ion of the new school of art. to which
the BarbiZon painters gave the inspir-
alton, has been invading the private
galleries of Minneapolis and leaving
many a Corot, Rousseau. Diaz, Dupre,
Daubigny, Jacque and Millet behind it.
Not that the older and long estab-
lished canons of the academicians are
not represented by the present exhibit,

work, from the first day Of conscious
chill childhood to the last futter of the
WORKOUT heart. And yet, from just
such other women life Of dumb, un-
complaining acceptance of labor's lot
have come the great rewards of vica-
rious fame thru sons like Millet and
Browning.
The probabilities are that great
deal of nonsense has been written
about Millet and his methods, which
were doubtless the very things that
that he left his critics to find out what
he really meant. Millet might have
said the same. The chances were that
when the artist in him had once got
free from the bonds of his academical
training, the man in him reverted for
ideals back to that old, pathetic bond
age OF the peasant boy, the furrow
line. The horizon was big, but the L,
perhaps did not want-to lose his
rugged inheritance Of birth.
Pleasanter to turn from this to the
rosy Bouguereau Of the Pillsbury col
lection, the tripping healthful :Water
carrier who can prove that beauty
and good spirits are quite possible, even
# girl must Gritty big wa atSc gs on
of labor-the healthful side. It shows
all the best of the Bouguereau method
both as to spirit and execution. There
is something wholesomely alive in the
whole ensemble. The exhibition opens
Monday evening, when the, annual
meeting Of the society will be held
previous to the private view There
will be about hundred paintings
hung, and as most of the groups are
small, the exhibit will be very repre-
sentative Of private galleries. Other
notices of the collection will appear
later. Il,
? The invitations to the members and
a few invited guests are already out.
All intending members who join now
will be admitted free during the whole
exhibit, which lasts for three weeks.
The doors are open to the public on

the floating class: which seeks to live
with as little physical effort as possible,
and the result has been an influx of
undesirable persons, who do not belong
in Minneapolis and have no claim upon
the city, but who are persistent appli-
cants for aid, not only from the poor
department, but from organized charity
and everyone who can be worked. -
Many Of them frankly state that they
came here because it is easier to get
along in large town than in small
one.
There are strong reasons for suspect
ing that most of this element has been
urged and even assisted by village au-
thorities to make for Minneapolis

Of the chronic object of CHARITY said
Edwin D. Solenberger, manager Of the
Associated Charities, yesterday.
''Just now we have on our hands a
man whose highest ambition is to OBJ
tain a residence in Minneapolis SO that
he can secure public relief! He is
even willing to work a little to support
himself and his wife until the happy
day when he can apply to the city for
support without danger of being
shipped back to the country district,
where he belongs.
''There has been noticeable increase
in the number Of applications for as
sistance this week over the number for
the same week last year. This is due
to three causes: the. growth of the city,
with the natural increase in the pauper
class; the Influx Of workingmen drawn
by the widely advertised building boom,
and the fact that the public charges of
the country districts are learning that
the support furnished by the cities is
luxurious when compared with that
given by the county authorities. -

SUNDAY CLOSING:
IN OTHER CITIES
BOSTON TRAVELLING MAN SAYS
THEY PROSPER UNDER IT.
Boston, with Over Half Million, and
Philadelphia, with 100000 Popula-
ton, Are Dry on Sunday as Arizona
Desert, as Is st. Louis-No Evidence
of Business Decay, Either.

Experience of other large cities
does not corroborate the belief occa-
sionally expressed that Sunday closing
of saloons is detrimental to the bust
ness welfare of a city,. said E. L..
McWilliams Of Boston yesterday. Mr..
McWilliams travels thruout the coun-
try and is well posted on conditions in
the large cities.
Notwithstanding the statement that
nothing but disaster can come to Min
neapolis because Of Mayor jones' re-
cent order, there are several cities lar
ger than Minneapolis that have found
feasible but beneficial says Mr.. Nc
Williams. "They are cities that are es-
sentially manufacturing centers, with a
large labor population, and all have a
large foreign element that is inclined
to favor open saloons on Sunday.
"The best known of these are Boston
and Philadelphia, the first with a pop.
exceeding 100000, st. Louis, with
over 100000 persons, has been dry
for six months only, but the others
have been dry for years. In Boston
it is practically impossible to secure
liquor on Sunday. In bona-fde hotels
guests may secure liquor with meals
only, and even this is somewhat re-
stricted. The city closes absolutely
tight at IL O'Clock every night.
Philadelphia is as dry on Sunday as
the Arizona desert. The saloons are
not restricted as to the closing hour
thru the rest of the week, but every
thing must shut tightlyat midnight Sat
urday. Pittsburg, tho under the same
state law, is a little freer in some
ways. Liquor can be secured on Sun
day, but for all practical purposes the
saloons are closed. The ITO clock clos
ing rule is strictly enforced and the re
quirements for securing licenses are
very strict. There are few cities in the
country where the business is held in
closer bounds than in Pittsburg. st
i Louis has received considerable adver.
tlsing the last few months as a close
town, and it is, absolutely. The city
has a large foreign population. Those
who have Investigated the situation

ATHLETICS MADE
A MILITARY DUTY
NEW DEPARTURE AT FORT SMELL
ING INTERESTS ENTIRE ARMY:
Instead Of Devoting It's Energies to
Occasional Field Day Sports, Twenty
eighth Infantry Strives for General
Excellence of Entire Command-All
Officers Required to Act as In
structors.

A new departure in military athletics
q is being made at Fort Smelling. Begin
ming tomorrow athletic training of the
command interrupted for the schedule
Of maneuvers in October, will be re-
sumed. This is usual and customary;
Fort Smelling the training will be re-
graded as military duty like target
practice or drills, in which all will be
expected to qualify under reasonable
standard. ~. ). r.
The development of military ath-
letics, like that of military drill and
target practice, has been an evolution.
Target practice did not begin to re
1856, and it did not reach the dignity
of a sanctioned system until late in the
seventies. Now it is regarded as far
more important than drills, and months
are devoted to it every year. There
is a complete system, and every soldier
receives thoro instruction. AS in the
revolutionized instruction in rifle
manual, of arms 80 in 20 counts,
load ''-as in the days of Frederick the
Great, when the important thing was
precision in mechanical movements,
there is now most thoro instruction Of
every soldier, not in loading in unison
with hundred others, but In how to
hit the enemy at a thousand yards.
The only shots that count are the
shots that hit, - has become the STAN
dard of daily instruction.
Progress in Athletics.
So, also, in military athletics. Up to
1896 there was nothing but setting up
drills" and these were given only to
the recruits. Then, principally thru
the efforts of Captain Edward j. Koch
Ter, master Of the sword and instructor
in athletics at the United States mill
tary academy at West Point, began a
lively interest in athletics. For the
first few years it was a purely volun-
tary thing on the part Of officers and
men. Anyone who felt Indifferent or
lazy could readily get excused from the
exercises; and many did SO. Then
| came the Butts manual, and several
others. The Spanish war and the Phil
ippines demonstrated the value Of
thoro athletic training, for it was found
that well trained men lasted longer
marched faster, and came to the firing
line in better physical condition. So
i athletic sports were encouraged, and
became feature of some regiments, as
in the Twentyeighth infantry.
/ But still the system was faulty. in
i that it was more in the nature Of col
lege ATHLETICS than that Of military ex
ercises. Field day sports, with q su

question is being agitated with ten
dency toward strict regulation or abso-
Lutte closing. Cities in New York state
operate under the Raines law, and
altho the spirit Of the law which re-
quires that food be served with each
drink is in a measure evaded, it is often
difficult for stranger to secure liquor
in the regular saloons that are running
in violation of the law. ,s u
In this connection it is noticeable
that San Francisco, with license of
only $84 a year, has $500 saloons, and
was the only boss-ruled city where the
reform ticket was not successful in the
recent elections.'

"WATCH YOUR HAT AND COAT"
SATURDAY. Evening Post

A well-known southern politician tells
Of a South Carolina preacher who, finding
the weather too warm for comfort, pulled
off his coat and preached in his shirt
sleeves. After the sermon, one of the
deacons of the, church, thinking that
newspaper man present might be disposed
to make a sensational story Of the incl
dent, said to the clergyman:
Did you know, when you pulled off
your coat, that one of those newspaper
fellows was in meetin'?"
II did, indeed" responded the preacher,

Dear Sir: Would you rather have
your customer speak of your shoes
as wearing we'll, as not running
down at the heel. as turning water,

heads and say nothing3
We'd rather have ours, at long
intervals, say: I'VE want some
more paint, and we want DevOe. ="
We know it isn't in human nature
to paint very often; we don't want
'em TO. All we went is to paint
what they have to paint, whenever
they paint it; the longer the time,
the surer they are to comeback.
There's business enough in the
world; there are houses enough to
paint; let EN- take their time.
