i. THE HUNT RECITAL

The organ recital given by Ham]:n
Hunt at Plymouth church last evening,
was very enjoyable and artistic affair
There was good audience present, IN l
the entire program was a tribute to the
good taste and musicianship of MI
Hunt. It was culled from the bes.
sources, while the vocal numbers sung
by E. J. Moles, barytone Of Plymouth
church, were Of an equal standard of
excellence, -. = -, .. &c.,. g..
Mr.. Hunts first number was HolIirs
q Grand Chorus in e. which admira-
bly, displayed the technique of the par
former and the capacity of the organ.
The Bach prelude; and Fugue in A
Minor" followed, and was, as always,
wholly admirable. List 8 "Angelns -
was exluisitely rendered; Another
beautiful number was the Deth;cr
"Noctaine," which was given. beau
tifully effective reading. The three
Guilmaat numbers were also greatly en-.
joyed and their execution but en-.
CHANGED the reputation which Mr.. Hunt
enjoys for musicianly taste and admir-.
able technique. Widor's "Toccata !,
closed the program.
Mr.. Moles has a deep voice of good
timbre, which was displayed to good ali
vantage in his three numbers. Its ex.
tended compass also adds to it's effect
iveness. The Beethoven "Nature 5
Alteration was especially noteworthy
for the admirable enunciation of the
singer. The other two numbers were

CITY NEWS
IMMIGRANTS FLOCK THRU
HUNDREDS OF sCANDINAv1ANs,
SLAvs AND LATINs EN- ROUTE
TO THE GOLDEN WEST.

Seeking new homes in. the west hun
dreds Of immigrants from Sweden, Nor
way, Poland and Denmark are daily
passing thru the twin cities and the i'm
migrant agents at the different passenger
stations who have had little to do during
the winter are working overtime in their
efforts to accommodate the throng of for
eigners. While st. Paul Is the transfer
point for most of the homeseekers, Min
tneapolis comes In for share Of the traf-
:fic, and there IS hardly a day when n
crowd Of the strangers cannot be seen at
the stations.
Yesterday was gala day for the immi-
grants in st. Paul. Over 500 natives Of
Poland and Denmark, dtstinguishable by
colored tickets pinned on their clothing,
blue for the Danes and yellow for the
Poles, thronged the streets and stations.
The Salvation Army took advantage of
the occasion to hold a continual. session
on Sibley street during the afternoon.
and there were packed houses at all the
performances. e s..sa.5,.e- =. o. r..
| In Minneapolis large party of Swedes
headed for Aberdeen, N. D., attracted
considerable attention in the vicinity OF
the union station and Bridge square, al
tho the immigrant agent was able to
handle the crowd with little trouble and
there was none Of the usual friction.
In the last three days about 600 Italians
enlisted in Chicago, but most of them
unable to speak English and new to this
country, have passed thru Minneapolis or
the Milwaukee road. These men have
been engaged for work on the Black Hills
extension of the Milwaukee, and many
! Of them expect to make the west their
permanent home.

.Untuue-VaudeviIle,

tralto, is again the leading attraction Of
a we'll balanced vaudeville bill at the

twenty-five notes, and some of her selec-
lions are extremely difficult. She has a

gagement, selected with a view, 10 giving
her voice as wide a range as possible.
Oukura, the Japanese foot-juggler, has
pleasing act and is more expert with
his feet than many performers are with
their hands. His apparent recklessness
adds to the success of the act. Lyle La

trated songs, his leading selection

meyer and Carrie Ward have bright

Day." in which there is some clever &C.

FEW BATHS THE RULE
F.: AT.THE POOR FARM

HWater, water everywhere, but nat
a drop to drink; describes present con-
ditions at the city poor farm. A few
days ago the pipes in the farm we'll
burst. The water used on the place has
been taken from the well which was
put out of commission. Now. all the
water must be drawn by teams from
Nine Mile creek. AS a result the in
mates find it long time between
drinks, and it is only at big expense and
labor that absolute needs are supplied
This condition will have to continue
for ten days longer at least. Under the
law the county commissioners cannot
contract for more than 800 worth OF
work without first advertising for bids
Bids for pipes have been advertised fol
and will be opened week from today
A contract, can then be awarded and
the work commenced.
A new we'll could be driven in three
days but for the limitations Of the law
The incident has brought out. more
strongly than ever before the deficiency
Of the law, and an effort will be made
to have the legislature make some pro
vision for emergencies of this kind.

The LAND Skinner" at Work.

The man whom the president de-.
scribes as the "land-skinner' seems to
have played a trick on the legislature
the other day. When the legislature
wasn't looking he succeeded in securing
the passage of a resolution amounting
practically to the repeal Of the Morris
law and the abandonment of the Cass
Lake forest reserve. 49, :.'~.:. -. -, -:
Nearly all the senators who voted for.
this resolution have since confessed that
they did not know what it meant; and
yet for some reason that body lacks the
courage to rescind it's action. They
have some kind of a rule, it seems,
which bars a resembling motion twenty
four hours after the original has
passed; SO it seems, if the senate makes
q mistake and doesn' It discover it with
in twenty-four hours, it is bound to
stand by it's blunder. This does not
look like very intelligent proceeding.
The Morris bill was antagonized by
the "land-skinner, and has stood in
his way ever since; and yet the facts
show that under it's operation, including
the provision IOf Sedleu DIuS, ulSueI
prices have been obtained for timber on
Indian and governments lands than have
!, ever ruled before SO long, however,
as there is a pine tree in the state Of
Minnesota, there will be somebody
scrambling for it, and that seems to ex:
plain the appearance of this resolution
crowded thru without due consideration
on the part of the members.
: 4. The purpose Of it apparently is to in,
. fuence our senators and members of
.- congress to favor the abandonment of
this forest reserve, and the opening UP
&'s0otff tthe lands IL the lumbernien who
want free and unrestricted access to the
timber and to the land spectators. We
doubt very much, however, whether any
member of the congressional delegation
with the facts before the public as tc
the manner in which this resolution was
passed and the object back of it, will be
able to excuse himself by it for support
ing the repeal of the Morris law. II
would take something more than tricl
like that resolution to Justify such &C
ton in the eyes of the public. =

Copper Not a Poison.

The government experts who have
been experimenting with sulphate~ of
copper as cleanser of water have
naturally given attention to the reputed
poisoning effects Of copper and to the
quantity which can safely be used.
They publish in their summary an opin-
ion that seems based on adequate medi-
cal testimony that there is: no authentic
record of fatal copper poisoning and
many of the best authorities do not
consider copper true poison; they hold
that it is natural consistent of the
body and in minute quantities has no ef-
feet upon man.
The probable medical value of copper
in the treatment Of typhoid. cholera and
related diseases is discussed. Forms of
the metal have been used in the cure
Of several diseases. Arsenic Of copper
is used in the treatment Of typhoid
fever and with benign effect, its action
| apparently being to convert it into a
harmless fever from which the patient
quickly RECEIVERS. -
! In Asiatic cholera there are num-
Der Of instances of the effects Of cop.
per upon epidemics. It is reported in
| the medical books thatiin an epidemic
of Asiatic cholera in Tuscany the labor
ers who worked at smelling the ore
from the great copper mines in the vi
entity were absolutely . immune from
cholera, tho they lived in a locality that
favored the spread Of the disease. -
The practical value Of copper as ar
agent for the publication Of con
taminated water has been proven, es
pecially it's efficacy in removing certain
forms Of vegetable growths. The gov
eminent experts believe that nearly il
not all the. important conditions likely
to arise have been encountered and sue
cessfully dealt with. The effect of cop
per on the human system, being one O.
prime Importance, was given consid
cradle study, with the result that som'
popular opinions are again in need o.
revision. <,a-@: II 49,.

Lucky Vanderbilt Heirs.

Poor overtaxed people that we Ameri-
cans are, let us rejoice that one tax
payer has gotten his rights even against
such a vast taxing machine as the
United States government, The plain
tiff who has won out so gloriously in a
tax case is the Cornelius Vanderbilt
estate. Under the decision of Judge
Lac ombe, the estate will receive back in
cold cash, $4,000 assessed against it
by the government as a war tax. ST.. Be
Sides: the estate will take back q coy
$4,000 of interest, the value Of the
money while Uncle Sam has had it in
his keeping and while the Vanderbilt
heirs have been cooling their heels on
the government doorstep: ,..%<~ r,.s
1t must be nice to have an estate
which can be taxed such an amount
without. being rendered innocuous and
EEaenbfy pleasant TO have. such tax
handed back with interest attached
Fluctuations to the Vanderbilt heirs are
in order.

fGUM SHOE EXPEDITION
THIS ONE RESULTED IN sECUR-
ING NEEDED EQUIPMENT AT
THE GARFIELD SCHOOL.

With the proceeds from the sale of
a. pile Of old rubbers, weighing over
two hundred pounds, handsome black
oak cabinet has been placed in the
Garfield school. Every rubber in the
collection was brought in by the pupils
who, at the suggestion of Miss Youngs,
the principal, have been conducting
most vigorous hunt.
The plan is not new one.. Some
years ago the pupils in the Garfield
school realized enough money from
similar sale to buy picture and in
other schools the plan has been worked
with success. Records were broken at
the Garfield, for the proceeds aggri-
gated $1,000. The committee of young
business men of the eighth grade, who
financed the affair, were only able after
strenuous competition between Min
neapolis junk dealers, to secure bid
of Az cents a pound for the castoff
footgear.
The cabinet could not be bought for
less than SIS and Miss Youngs her
self contributed enough to make the
purchase possible. All, unknown to
Miss Youngs second hunt was started
with the result that last week Miss
! Youngs' money was returned.

Mr.. L. G. Lindseys explanation of his

procal demurrage bill illustrates the
worthlessness Of the average petition. Mr.
Lindsey's partner is the man who intro.
duced the bill, and he had no idea he
was signing a protest against the Nolar
bill. Most men sign petitions because
they hate to refuse, and because it does
not cost anything to do that sort of 8

YSAYE rs A LION
His Former Tour Merely Created De-
mand for More.

mand for More.
r. E. Johnston, who Is personally en-
gineering Ysayes tour, has been con
graduated many times this season upon
the extraordinary success Of the great
Belgian violinist. Not. only has Ysaye
broken all tox-office records made by
eminent violinists, who within the past
fifty years have visited the United States,
but he has smashed his. own. record, He
has played to larger audiences ana drawn
more money than any violinist of the
present century. -. 49,. - f..
It is doubtful, indeed. whether Paginini
at the zenith of his powers, ever exerted
a more potential influence upon his hear
ers than does Ysaye. He has played near
ly twenty times in New York city alone
since he began his present tour, and the
size of the audiences instead Of diminish
ing continued to increase. His brilliant
success in New York eliminated in the
great concert when he and Nine. Eames
were the stars. t..
The coming Of Ysaye to Minneapolis for
a recital at the Auditorium next Saturday
evening has aroused exceptional interest
in musical circles. The sale Of seats will
open tomorrow. at g. am. at the Metropol-
itan Music company's store.

Pretty Preachers Barred.

Rev. R. E. Elwood, of Wilmington,
Del, makes timely protest against
the presence of "sissifed asses' in tho
pulpit. He especially kicks on preach
ers who have their faces massaged in
order that they may look pretty before
the women. Such preachers, he init
mates, should be met on a dark night
by rough but earnest soul with fists
like knotty cordwood, who should pro
coed to massage the said preacher. with
both dukes. ;<<..:>} y. ~ E = !
The platform Of the Wilmington d.
vine. will meet with a hearty encore
from the entire country. To be sure
. there are fewer Of the Miss Nancy
preachers in the world than ever be-
i fore but this fact merely serves tc
heighten the bad eminence of those who
persist.
n. The: world is demanding manly and
capable men, It is willing to take
preachers, like other professional men
on their merits and to advance them as
they show capacity. The day Of the
sissy preacher is gone because the day
of the sissy religion is gone. The young
rector with the pale face. and the white
choker is no. longer the hero of thu
novel. Mary Jane Holmes made hin
