Paul Officials and Ministers Will
Formally Welcome Visitors to City.

Upwards of four hundred pastoral
and lay delegates have reported for
the forty eighth annual convocation of
the Minnesota conference Of the Au-
gustana Swedish Lutheran synod,
which opens tomorrow in st. Paul. All
the principal sessions will be held at
the First Swedish church, oWodward
and John streets.
The most important matter before
the conference this year is the report
of the committee on education. There
are three colleges under tn patronage
of the conference, Minnesota college,
lege, st. Peter, and Northwestern col
lege, Fergus Falls. At present these
institutions are largely independent,
but there has been a sentiment that
they should be brought more directly
under the authority of the church and
more uniformity in their work estab-
lished. 49,. .-.-s.
One President for All.
The committee will report that the
three colleges be placed under the con
troll of central board, with one presl-
dent, and resident vice president at
each school. It is anticipated that this
plan will encounter some opposition
and cause an interesting debate.
The question of appointing super
intendent of home missions will be
presented and is expected to be- adopt
ed, as this branch Of the church work
has grown to such proportions that
there is a necessity for general and
systematic supervision. ~ -, =,
The pastors in the conference will
meet tomorrow to listen to the Rev
J. O. Cavallin of Braham, on how to
prepare an effective sermon. There
will be an informal reception for the
delegates and other visitors. The Rev
J. A. Krantz of Duluth will preach the
opening sermon.
Welcome for Visitors.
On Wednesday the conference proper
will be opened with the customary ser
vices. Governor J. A. Johnson and the
Rev. P. Peterson, pastor Of the church

medicine. Eighteen months ago my periods

''Soon after | read one of your advertise

"One plant at least has been pat
ented," said an inventor. 1T is the
Abrus pre%catorious, alias p~aternoster
pea, alias weather plant. John Nowack
took out the patent.
THE weather plant is still believed
by many persons to foretell the wealth
err. John Nowack was sure 1t did SO,
and he put it on the market along with
an indicating apparatus, guaranteeing
il to foretell, for forty-eight hours n
advance and for fifty miles around,
fog, rain, snow, hail, earthquake and
depressions likely to cause explosions
of fire damp.
Alas for poor Nowack! The experts
of the bureau Of agriculture took up
his patented plant. They proved that
the movements of the leaves-to the.
right foretelling rain, to the left fore
telling drought-were not caused by the
weather, but by the light. And they
proved that the plants famous down.
ward movement, which was supposed
TO ~foretell earthquake, was caused by
an insect that p~unctured the stem,
causing the leaf naturally to- drop.
That is the only patented plant /
know of. and Nowack lost money ON
il.

when they were written. let the INK dry or

no envelopes. no postage stamps, no letter
boxes in the street, no collection OF the
mails. The letter written, the paper was
carefully folded. sealed with wax or a
wafer, addressed. and carried TO a post
office, where postage was prepaid at rates
which would now seem extortioaatc. TO

Barrettes and Backcornbs.

From the Jewellers Circular-W Weekly.
Hair barrettes or slides divide favor
With the back comb for keeping unruly
locks i'm order. The handsomest of
these are of narrow diamond bands in
terwoven in some very open loop or
scroll patterns.
Very wide gold bracelets are Of fill
gree set with green tourmalines and
diamonds or with other colored stones,
while heavy, half round bands are or
namented in like manner The ends of
bracelets that do not clasp are finished
with dragon, dog or lion heads, with
half an inch between the ends.
Bracelets will doubtless remain In
high favor for some time to come, and
one really should ave a diversity of
styles to keep in touch with fashion as
to appropriateness in jewels as well
as in dress.
A new brooch has a ruby about half
an inch in diameter as a central stone
framed in diamonds and set about with
a wide border beautifully manipulated
In diamonds. The drop stone is a large
ruby with a little ornamental cap Of
diamond leaves.
Some heavy chain bracelets have the
top only of elaborate diamond scroll
work.
Many new pendants or brooches dis
pense with chains in the use Of drop
stones.
Magnificent diamond brooches are
mostly in the pendant style with drop
stone somewhat closely attached.
A style shown in some costly brooch
designs where choice stones are en-
ployed has "A single large stone or orna-
mental form, surrounded, as far as may
be, by a comparatively large open
space and enclosed in a band or border
of diamonds forming the outline. A
charming little pendant of this order is
of triangular shape, with three large
diamonds in three separate openings
across the top and finished with an or
namental base and a beautiful drop
stone without chain.
Something new in the line of collar
supporters are those finished with Tia
mond studs, where a little diamond
spray falls from the upper stud TO rest
on the lace collar beneath.
A charming little watch in pave dia-
mond work is inset with a design in
green tourmalines, and the same de-
sign is carried out or the chatelaine pin
to match, which is of fancy triangular
shape.
AS a variation on the perfectly fiat
gold mesh purse some OF the large size
are shown, with the top slightly fuller
than the fiat frame, Stimulating a gath
ering, which makes the bottom wider
than the top of the bag.
A diamond buffalo hea and a dia-
mond and pearl bee are among rather
odd fancies In scarfpins.

Into your clothes and comet"
Ten minutes later we were both in
a cab and rafting through the silent
streets on our "a to Charing Cross
station. The first faint winters dawn
vas beginning to appear, n we could
dimly see the occasional figure of an
early workman as he passed US, blurred
and indistinct in the opalescent London
reek. Holmes nestled in silence into
his heavy coat, and | was glad to do
the same, for the air was most bitter,
and neither of us a broken our fast.
1t was not until we a consumed
some hot tea at the station, and taken
our places in the Kentish train that
we were sufficiently thawed, he to
speak, and l to listen. Holmes drew a
note from his pocket and read it aloud:
Abbey Grange, Marsham, Kent,
$3.50 a. m.
Ny Dear Mr.. Holiness should be
very glad of your immediate assistance
in what promises to be a most remark
able case. 1t ia something quite in
your line. Except for releasing the
lady I will see>that everything is kept
exactly as / have found ii, but | beg
you not TO lose an instant, as it is diff
fcult to leave Sir Eustace here.

The University of Notre Dame, 1t al

The University Of Notre Dame, it APP
,ears, has some features that cannot be
duplicated in any other school. 1t is one
Vt the old, well-established colleges,
With settled traditions reaching back
sixty-four years, with a distinguished
staff Of professors and excellent library
and laboratory equipment. Its dlsci-
oline Is Of the paternal kind-strong
without being oppressive; and as it
embraces in its scope the grammar
school, high school, and college work,
ITS appeal is as broad as it is potent.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
Of the famous Indiana University, how
ever, is the fact that it has arrived at
is present marvellous development abso-
utely without endowment. An an
aouncement of the courses provided at
Sotre Dame appears on another pare.

appearance in red spots, generally
forming a circle, leaving in the center
q spot about the size of Il silver dol

affected circle would form a heavy dry
scale of white silvery appearance and
would gradually drop off. To remov
the entire scales by bathing or using
oil to soften them the flesh would he
perfectly raw, and a light discharge
of bloody substance would ooze out.
That scaly crust would form again in
tw~enty-four hours. 1t was worse on
my arms and limbs, although it was
in spots all owe my body, also on my
scalp. II ! let the scales remain too
long without removing by bath or 9th

SAN FRANCISCO, May Awhile it
is difficult to give exact figures as to
losses and insurance in connection
with the fire winch has devastated such
a large portion Of San Francisco, close
estimates have been compiled, which
show that the actual property loss to
the city is close to $3.50, 100000.
A large proportion, if not the major
ity, Of the business men who were
thankful during the conflagration that
their valuables were inclosed in fire
proof vaults have waKened to an un-
pleasant surprise. Within the last sew
enty-two hours 576 safes and vaults
have been opened in the district east
of Powell and north of Market streets
and in not more than 60 per cent OF
these instances were the contents
found intact. In many cases a pile OF
ashes represented thousands Of dollars
