WEDDINGS AREN'T IN
HARMONY WITH LENT
RECTOR OF GETHsEMANE TAKES
ADECIDED STAND.
AS a Result Material Change Has to
Be Made in the Nuptial Plans of a
Bride-to-be, Who Belongs in His
Parish-other Minneapolis Pastors
Hold the Same View.

A Minneapolis bride-elect who be-
longs to one of the Episcopal churches
finds herself in a dilemma, as the pas
tor Of her chuWh refuses to officials
at marriage ceremony in Lent.
The dearth of weddings during the
season of quiet, meditation and self
denial, finds a ready explanation in
the fact that the social side of a mar
riage is not In keeping with the solemn
spirit of the period. Several times
already has Rev. Irving P. johnson, of
Gethsemane church, been called upon to
officiate at a wedding, and just as
often as he has received the request
he has refused it. For a minister Of
his church a marriage service during
the weeks preceding Easter is out Of
the question. -
"Nothing but a serious reason will
be considered when it comes to the
question Of marrying people of my con-
gregation during Lent, said Mr.. John.
son last evening. "If soldier on fur.
Tough, or if, for any unforeseen cause
a marriage cannot be postponed, I feel
that it is within my duty to perform
such a service, but otherwise I firmly
believe that everything must be done
to discourage an attempt at gaiety and
festivity at this time. -
This sentiment is expressed by many
other clergymen of the different
churches In the city.

BUILT A HOUSEBOAT
IN ANDRUS BUILDING
A Novel Device Employed by s. s.
Thorpe in Entertaining Reunion Of

hunting party on one of the tributaries
Of Leech Lake last fall. This company
spent ten days in the duck shooting
season on Boy river in the craft of
which this temporary dining hall on
the top floor of the Andrus building
was a faithful reproduction.
The guests were invited to come in
hunting costume and when they were
seated at the long table in the cabin
| Of the houseboat they presented in all
the essential particulars the same ap-
| pearance that they made in the upper
Minnesota wilds just after coming in
| from a days shooting. The affair was
unique and in it's appointments com
| plete surprise to the guests so far as
the reproduction Of the houseboat was
concerned and the appearance of the
cook from Walker whose successes as
chef of the real houseboat have been
the boast of the company ever since
Songs, stories and "reminiscences Of the
never-to-be-forgotten voyage on the Ma

Cards in the above form have been
distributed among the physicians Of
Minneapolis in the past week. When
they are filed out and returned, the
antituberculosis committee intends to
make the statistics obtained the basis
of estimates for a local tuberculosis
sanitarium. -. E -
Some time ago the committee, which
is part Of the Associated Charities
organization, decided that some sort Of
a sanitarium was necessary for the
proper care of Minneapolis . tubercu-
lous poor. This project received con-
siderable impetus at meeting Of the
Hennepin County Medical society,
held for the purpose of discussing the
tuberculosis problem. At this meeting
the plan for taking a census of the
tuberculosis cases in Minneapolis was
heartily Endorsed and the cooperation
Of the medical fraternity was promised
From the returns obtained by this
canvass, the committee expects to be
able to determine the number Of cases
which are still amenable to SAM
tarium treatment, and the relative
numbers of those who are able
pay for : treatment and Of those
who must be treated free. AL
returns will be treated as confidential
and the cards bearing the names of the
physician and patient will be destroyed
as soon as the statistics are reduced tt

, DR.. c. B. Wright, who has undertaken
! to conduct the census on behalf of thu
! tuberculosis committee, has been a
work since last Tuesday, and report
that he has met with ready response OF
the part Of all physicians approached
1t is. thought that it will take abou
three months to complete this census
the first of it's kind ever taken in Min
neapolis.. ~. -
Just what sort of a sanitarium will
be installed as a result Of this investi
cation it would be hard to say. TIL
original proposition was to erect da,
sanitarium, collection. Of open she]
tiers where patients could congregat
each day to enjoy fresh air and prope
food under medical supervision. Sue
sanitarium has been found efficie1
in Boston. It is possible that, swhe
the returns are in, a more substanti;
plant will be found necessary.

Cheaper at Hospital.

Now, however, they find that the ex.
pense is really lower at the hospital and
the patient usually does better. The
house is not torn up, there is no confu-

sick room than for the relatives to do
so. g. ~.

CITY HOSPITALS ARE
CROWDED TO LIMIT
EVERY SUCH INSTITUTION NEEDS
MORE ROOM.
Beds Reserved for Emergency Cases

People Overcome Prejudice Against
Hospital Treatment.

Nearly fifty sick persons slept on
cots in the corridors of the Minneapolis
hospitals last night and fully as many
more were willing to pay well for the
same privilege.
The hospitals are crowded to- the
limit and the physicians and health au-
condition, saying there is no epidemic
of any kind and that the city as a
whole was never in healthier condi-
tion.
Every Bed Taken.
The beds at the city hospital are full
except those that are reserved for
emergency cases. The other hospitals
are even worse off for room. At As
bury and st. Barnabas the corridors
have been converted into wards fo9
the time being and at Northwestern
every inch Of space available is being
used to accommodate the patients. An
unusually large number of surgical
cases have been taken to the Swedish
and st. Mary's hospital, but with all
the effort on the part of the manage
ment the waiting list is growing. In
fact, there has been large increase in
the number Of surgical cases in all the
hospitals.
There is but one explanation of the
condition, say the physicians, and that
is that people are beginning to learn
that hospital is the place for them
when they are i'll. In times past there
was general aversion to the hospital
because the members of the family
were separated for time.

face of this demonstration he
schooner stopped and hOisted the
American flag.
The second captain Of the Vera
Cruz went aboard the ship to investi-
gate the cause of the presence of the
schooner in these waters and found
that the ship in question was the
American schooner Silas Stearns of
80 tons and Of the home port of Pen
sacOla, Fla. and engaged in the fish
ing business. The Silas Stearns was
surprised at 600 metres to the east
o. the reef, plainly within jurisdic-
tional waters, with one boat at sea,
all the fishing lines out and with a
cargo Of 5000 large snappers in her
bunkers. Such abundant harvest Of
fish caught in so few days, from the
5th, on which date she left Pensa-
cola, to the 18th, on which date she
was seized. with so small a crew, six
men and the master, gives room to
think, although it could not be
proved, that this ship, following the
example Of a good many of her kind,
has used dynamite to accomplish her
task more easily.
The Silas Stearns did not have her
papers in order, and in view of .he
fact Of her having been caught in the
act when she was engaged in fishing
in Mexican territorial waters, Cap
tain TrujillO declared her to be seized
and boarded her, drew up statements

necessary steps were taken it was
discovered that this ship was an
American schooner without proper
papers and called D. L. Trafton of sc
tons, of the home port of Mobile,
Ala, manned by seven men and com
manded by Alex LinOberry. She was
at once declared as seized and in the
statement drawn to the effect it was
stated that she had been supriseI a.
1900 metres to the west of the Ala
! cranes reef; that she was caught in
the fragrant guilt of fishing in Mex
| can territorial waters, and the cap
tain having nothing to allege in de-
/ tense of his conduct but the fact that
! he had been practicing the same
thing for various American firms and
for many years. The ship was towe1
to PrOgressO, where she also was de-
! livered to the port authorities, to-
gether with her crew and cargo, cOn-
sisting Of 1000 large fishes.
The Vera Cruz left PrOgresso again
on the 22nd, to continue the recon
EOiterings. and on the 23d, in the
morning near the rock called "Trian-
gulO del Oeste" another schooner
fishing in forbidden waters. The
schooner never answered the salute
made to her by the gunboat and had
to bd intimidated by a shot fired
with blank cartridge. She was
boarded and was found to be the Liz
zie B. Adams, an American schooner
of So tons. without proper papers and
ko1 = - CoI
ton, Texas. She was commanded by
Captain Charles Spaulding and seven
men.
It was demonstrated to the captain
that he had been surprised at 1000
meters from the reef and in the act
Of fishing. He was notified that he
was detained with his ship in spite of
the fact that he thought the pro-
cedure unjustifed, as he had never
been molested during the many years
that he had been fishing in those
places. and on account Of various
American fishing companies. After
the statement provided by the law
had been drawn up, she was deliN-
cred, as the two other guilty
schOOners, to the authorities of the
port of Campeche to be consigned to
the federal justice. 1t must be no
ticed that the Lizzie B. Adams was
captured. according to the statement
of the captain, the day before her
return to Galveston, as, with the 49,
600 pounds of fish that she had in
her bunkers, her EXPEDITION was fin
ished.
The capture of these three ships
was accomplished with absolute JUS
tice on the part of the commanders
of the Vera Cruz who, although
they had to act under special in
structiOns and follow strict laws,
found a way to treat the detained
crews with every attention.
The Offense. committed by these
ships is the one defined and punished
by the article LIPS of the law of
October ID, 1905. that reformed the
ordinance Of the war navy. and that
