MONDAY, Oec. ~.
! The coming Hibernian festival. for
such is the title given it by the county
board. and it, is on all cards, tickets,
posters, etc. promises to be one Of
the most attractive affairs OF the kind
that has ever been held in st. Paul
The great occasion and reason for all
this deserves d little more than pass
ing mention. The Hibernians Of ST.
Paul and Ramsey county have Sc
cured and taken long lease of tine
entire second and top floor Of the new
building just being completed, run
ming from Sixth to Franklin street on
West Seventh street. which is diagon-
ally across the street from Central

visions met and held forth so long
This new headquarters OF the A. o. II.
in ST. Paul will be most modern, Of
| course, in every respect. 1t comprises
three large, larger and largest meet
cloak rooms. dining rooms and kitchen,
lighted finely, for every room is an
outside room; heated. belled and fur
nshed in the most expensive though
plain manner, and it is in those brand
new and gorgeous premises that thu,

as the Hibernian festival, will be held.

the leading parts.
The two principal contests during
this week Of great excitement will be,
first, a most valuable diamond ring
to be voted to the most popular daugh-
ter of Erin in st. Paul, and each di-
vision is to present it's own candidate,
which will receive credit for what 1t
does on percentage, thus giving the
weakest division the same chance as
the strongest.
The other contest of magnitude is
for a solid gold hunting case watch
to be won by st. Paul's most popu-
lar Hibernian. There will be eleven
male and seven female popular con-
testants, so one can imagine the hust-
ling that will have to be done to win

Minneapolis, Chamber OF Commerce,
Nov. 15.-The weather reports today
We're generally favorable, but a rel

snow. About the only news that has
any effect on wheat is the light re-
ceipts in the Northwest.
The receipts Of wheat at Minneapo-
lis today were 324 cars against AIS
year ago, Chicago received so cars
against ISL last year, Duluth receipts
| today amounted to 254 cars against
391 cars for the corresponding day
last year and Winnipeg only re-
! ceived 231 cars against 357 last year.
The cables today were steady and
with the light receipts the local wheat
market today opened firm after a
strong curb. The demand was I'M
equal to absorbing the offerings at
first but not for very long however,
for the trade was good. The big houses
were buying which held prices steady
and the scalpers were doing good
business. The trade was good and Of
ferings fairly large, With the demand
good also.
Local stocks of wheat for Ave days
have decreased 10000 bushels. The
! cash demand was good today and the
prices were steady. No. northern

option.
Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE opening
quotations on wheat were unchanged
to a. fraction higher today and after
working a fraction higher the mar
ket turned and the prices were work
ing lower. December wheat was the
weakest Of the three options and the
selling of some long wheat which was
led by the commission houses made
the market weak with nothing much
doing.

liable paintings and gems" Then,
turning to Marie, he added, with true
Italian warmth of feeling, Now, Miss,
your art can be made perfect; the flu
ture looks rosy!"
Upon receipt of the cable, Margaret
Norton and Anita felt as if their good
fairies were helping them out of their
troubles, and the delicate face Of
Marie's sister, with its pink flush Of
delight reminded one of the dainty
arbutus, as they took passage upon
the great ocean steamer that looked
like d palace to one Of the travellers.
What followed seemed, indeed, like
a chapter from real fairyland Miss
Bartholdi removed to another apart
ment; and Margaret, Marie, and Anita
set up a modest establishment which
promised to be permanent. At the
first moment, however, thai SignOr
BuOnetti saw Marie's beautiful lady,

May Destroy Them at Any Moment.
Il have just returned from the viii

of VaiIais, which are momentarily ex-
pecting destruction" writes an English
correspondent from Geneva.
"The 1900 people who live there
are in despair and dumbly watch
the landslide above them as it grows
and moves slowly but surely to dis
troy them and all they have.
but they are fatalists and will
not leave their homes. My guide,
who led me to the upper end of the
moving mass, voiced the opinion Of
the villagers He is forty years old
and the father of a family, but moth
ing could induce him to take flight
"T am certain he said, that the
avalanche will sweep us away, but
what can we do? We love our vii
lage, where we have lived since child
rem, and, then, where have we to go
if we lose our all here? l and my
family will stay on till the last and
take the consequence.
GAS we were speaking there was a
subterranean rumbling, followed by a
noise as of artillery firing and we
could see slices of the forest come
down in a swirling cloud of dust and
fine snow The ground shook as il

within an hour I saw three large
landslips which rolled down and
added their weight to the mass pack
ed in a gorge above the village. How
long the gorge will stand the press
ure one cannot say.
slipping upward behind the gorge
there is a large scar in the precipitous
mountain side, down which continual
landslips are occurring, pushing for
ward the debris in the narrow gorge
with irresistible force.
"The debris has reached within six
ty yards of the outlet, and the gov
eminent engineers who have been sent
to try to avert catastrophe fear that
the gorge may give way at any NOM
ent and that the falling mass will
sweep everything in it's path.
Springs of water and the st.
Andre stream are forcing their way
through the debris and making the
position more perilous. A warm
wind too, is blowing and melting the
snow, which is increasing the volume

around the village of Grugnay to give
a final warning to the inhabitants

SAGE CASKET
GHOUL PROOF
Body Of Dead Financier Encasei In
Steel Rep;eptacIe.
RESTS IN TROY CEMETERY
Through Fear Of Grave Robbers, Mrs.
Sage Was Prevailed Upon to Take
Most Extraordinary Precautions.

Encased in a Theoretically sealed
copper envelope placed within a solid
mahogany coffin, the body of Russell
Sage was Wednesday placed in a
chilled steel case, four inches thick,
riyeted with steel bolts, locked with
a lock which can only be opened
from the inside and lowered into a
grave at Troy, N. Y. The grave was
carpeted and lined with evergreens
on which the clods were heaped ana
the mound built. The steel case weighs
three tons.
Immediately after the steel box and
contents were lowered into the grave,
electrical connections were made and
immediate warning viii be given il
any attempt is made to tamper with
the remains.
Extraordinary efforts to thwart pcs
sible grave robbers was sanctioned by
Mrs. Sage and her closest friends.
Expenditures in this direction will
be greater than ever known in the
burial Of a private individual.
The coffin alone of solid mahogany
with it's copper inside envelope, trim
mlngs and handles, cost approximate
ly $1,000. The steel case and it's pat.
ent unpickable lock cost $4,000.
1t is called the burglar proof coffin
and it is ascertained that even with
out the added precaution Of electrical
protection or guards, it would be inn
possible for the most expert grave
robber to get at the body.
Mrs. Sage, it is said, has had
dread of the violation Of the sepul-
chre ever since the stealing of the
body of a. r. Stewart, and she read
lily consented to the proposal for safe
guarding the grave of her husband.
The steel case is of such hardness
that it would take two expert safe
blowers to break the outer she'll and
then only by the employment of spe-
cially constructed tools. There is no
visible lock to be attacked Once the
lid is closed down, a self-locking mech
anisrh clamps it inside at twenty
points and not the slightest opening
is left for the insertion of q wedge.
The corners are all rounded.
The body of Russell Sage was
buried in lakewood cemetery beside
the body of his first wife. The body
arrived in Troy in a private car at
tached to a regular train from New
York.
The words which are 10 be engraved
on the Sage monument are:
Il have done the best that | could
by the light of the day"
The funeral services proper over
the body of Mr.. Sage were held in the
First Presbyterian church at Far Rock
away Tuesday afternoon. A number
of prominent citizens were among
those who were present to pay last
tribute to the memory Of the aged
fnancier
After the services in Far Rockawdy
the body was placed in special car
and sent to New York city, where
It was taken to the Sage home in
Fifth avenue. The casket was placed
in the front parlor and so arranged
that the friends OF the family who
called might have a last look at the
face of the dead fnancier.

FINEST TROUT IN THE WORLD
Found In Small Stream In the High
Sierras, Says Expert

The finest trout in the world, says
Or. Barton w. Evermann of the bu.
reau OF fisheries. is to be found In n
little stresm of the high Sierras. in
southern California called Volcano
creek The trout is named the golden
trout" and in beauty of coloring
gameness and delleacy OF favor Il has
no equal.
So far as is known, II exists only
in this stream, which is about 20
miles in length. President Roosevelt
recently called attention ef the bureau
OF fisheries to this unique specimen,
with the result that DR.. Evermann was
sent to California to study its habits
and environment and to see whether
It might not be introduced elsewhere.
He reports that the trout Is in dan
ger Of determination and that fishing
in the stream must be prohibited by
the state of California for three years
II the trout is to be saved. DIR. Ever

This is necessary in order to make
the center high enough to give the
bundles on the outer row a slant of at
least 20 degrees. A person with ex-
p~erience using a fork will even be
able to give the outer rows of bun
dies a slant out and downwards of as
much as 45 degrees, while he keeps
well towards the center of stack.
Fig. 2 shows the bundles of upper
half of stack with a slant of about 20
degrees. A little experience will en-
able the operator to stick the bundles
of the outer row with the butt ends
lightly into the center of bundles be-
low. This will prevent the outer row
from slipping.
Topping out a stack properly is
the most difficult part. | have found
that 80 per cent. of all stacks that
draw water take it midway between
the bulge and the top. Hence this par
ticular point in the stack should be
very carefully constructed. Never
draw the stack in rapidly at the
start, as this always has a tendency
to cause it to take water. The last
few feet of the top are by no means
SO particular, because the top is mar
now and will dry out quickly, even If
it should become a little wet. If wa
ter is taken in lower down in the
stack it will not dry out until the
grain is more or less spoiled. The
last four or five feet of stack may
be drawn in considerably quicker
than the lower part, Just so it is kept
high and full in the center.
Fig 8 shows the outline Of a com
pleted stack. Through the bulge from
a to b il is IA feet across, while at
the bottom it is II feet across. If
the operator has experience, he may
with good results put on a larger
bulge, as it would improve the stock
i IN settling, allowing the outer rows
of bundles to slant at a considerable
greater degree. But for the benefit
of those who have very little or no
experience it is best TO put on a
very little or no bulge at all, because
if this is not properly done SO that
1t comes out even on all sides the
stack will DE ire to settle oVer inc
one side and then to take water dur
ing heavy rain.
If a line is drawn through stack
from C to d 1t will be e e that the
pressure at this point, when the
! stack settles down, will be consider
ably greater than on outside from
bulge to ground, hence it is very i'm
portant to keep center OF stack high
and solid all through. A mario"
stake s~hagpened TO a point at lower
end and about five feet long should
be thrust down into top of stack tc
prevent wind from blowing OF the
last bundles.

BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING.
It Is Dedicated by the w. L. Douglas
Co. at Brockton.

The dedication a short time ago of
the new administration and jobbing
house building erected by the W. l..
Douglas Shoe Co. as a part of its nam
moth manufacturing plant at Montello
was marked by the t~horoughness and
attention to detail characteristic of the
firm in all it's undertakings.
The ~dedicatory program included
open house from II a. m. to S p. m
with concert by the Mace Gay orches-
ira and the presence of a Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes of all.
The building itself afforded a feast
for the eye, especially the Offices,
which are maryels in many ways.
Fifteen thousand invitations were sent
out, including over IL, 900 to the re-
tail dealers in the United States who
handle the w. L. Douglas Co. shoes,
the others going to shoe manufacture
ton and vicinity. Mr.. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who is interest
ed call and inspect the new plant, and
says "the latch string is always out"
All departments of the plant were
open for inspection, the three factories
as well as the new building, and WIS.,
itors we're received and escorted
through the industrial maze by ex-
Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads
of the various departments.
Under the present system all shoes
are manufactured to order, and GUS
toners sometimes lose sales waiting
for shoes to arrive. With the new
jobbing house they will be enabled to
have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received.
The new building is 260 feet long
and 60 feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor, while the
offices will occupy the second floor.
The jobbing department will carry a
complete stock of mems, boys, youths
misses and children's shoes, slippers
!rubbers and findings equal to any job.
bling house In the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here tc
trade, and every effort possible will be
made to suit their convenience. There
will be a finely appointed sample room
on the second floor, with an office IL
which both telephone and telegraph
will be installed, with operators, boil
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
wires to be used. There will also b,
arrangements for the receipt and des
