ORDERED TO LUNCH COUNTER
Negroes Refused Service at St.
Paul Restaurant Table.

Paul Restaurant Table.
From Fridays Daily. @ d srssai
st. Paul was celebrating the anniver-
sary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln,
author of the emancipation proclama
ton, that freed the negro from bond
age.
The orator of the colored citizens
celebration of the day was at the same
time being denied breakfast at a table
in the union depot lunch rooms, at st.
Paul.
The result is the damage suit of Eu-
gene j. Marshall against George r.
Kibbe, proprietor of the rooms, for $500
damages.
Mr.. Marshall is a student of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, and the winner OF
many oratorical contests.
He was invited to deliver the grafton
at the celebration held by the colored
citizens of the twin cities.
A committee of colored citizens met
Mr. Marshall at the depot, and wanted
to give him warm breakfast without
delay.
So they escorted him to the depot
lunch room and sat down at table. But
they didn't stay long.
They were told they could get moth
ing to eat at the table, and must go to
the rear end of the lunch counter.
So the courts have been invoked, and
will say whether under the Minneota
bill of civil@ights a negro has the right
to eat at a table in a restaurant or
whether RELOCATING him to the rear end
of the lunch counter satisfied the law.
The maximum amount of damages
that may be recovered under the law
is $500 and the minimum $25. The pa
pers in the case were served on Mr..
Kibbe late Wednesday. F. L. MeGhee
is attorney for Mr. Marshall in the suit

WELL APPOINTED CAVE.
Chief Donahue investigates a Rem
devious Near the Slough.
From Tuesdays Daily

Chief Donahue yesterday afternoon
made personal investigation of a cave
near the end of Shaubut street on the
bank of the slough. 1t is the most elab-
crate cave that has yet been construct
ed, and is the work of older boys than
has generally been the case. 1t comprises
room twelve or fifteen feet square
and about eight feet high, and is ex
cavated out of the bank, although the
side facing the slough projects little
and is boarded up. On this side a door
and three windows furnish means of in
gress and egress and plenty of light.
The door was locked when Mr.. Dona
hue called yesterday afternoon, and he
was obliged to remove it by taking the
screws out of the hinges.
Inside, the room was found to be
comfortably furnished. There was a
cook stove, a spring couch, a table and
chairs, and a carpet on the floor. There
were cooking utensils, plates, knives,
and forks, some supplies of food, a
punching bag and other articles, includ-
ing pack of playing cards. There was
no evidence of drinking, as no empty
bottles or kegs were to be seen.
Ray Hunter, upon whose land the cave
is constructed, granted permission for
the erection of the same on the express
understanding that no drinking or ca
rousing was to be done, and he does not
believe that the boys have broken their
agreement. He has never heard any
riotous conduct. The ages of the boys
90 as high as twenty one years, and
they meet there evenings and pass a
social hour and go home. The cave was
constructed last summer or fall, and
under the circumstances it will be al
lowed to exist as long as it is conducted
i'm an orderly manner.

the examination simply for the pur-

subject. They did not compete for a
certificate.

39l conditional second grades, and 5Sl

of a Discussion.

From Fridays Daily
The Christian Ministerial association
held a meeting in Minneapolis yesterday
The paper given by Rev. A. f. Orr of
Mankato, "The Acts, It's Origin and
Purpose" called forth much comment OF
approval, but there was also general
feeling that "a man has perfect
right to his opinions, but in expressing
them he should be guided by his good
Judgment as a minister" Mr.. Hayden
said that Mr.. Orr's views on the origin
and the inspiration of the scripture were
not in keeping with the standard of the
brotherhood. Mr.. Orr was absent and
thus had no opportunity to refute the
charges.
