CANVASS FOR MONEY
TO BE USED TO BUILD ADDITION
TO LUTHER SEMINARY.
Synod of German Lutheran Church De-
cides This; Officers Elected; Next
Meeting Duluth.

st. Paul. June 30.-A canvass OF
the churches in the Minnesota district
of the Ohio synod of the German
Lutheran church will be made this
summer for $4,000 to $4,000 needed
for the erection of a dormitory and
gymnasium to the German Lutheran
seminary, Phalen Park. The present
building was erected in 1893 and has
proven inadequate. There were sew
entyfive students at the institution
the year just closing, while an enroll
ment of eighty five to 100 is expected
next year
Authority to erect the addition must
first be asked of the geneal synod,
which will meet at Richmond, Ind, in
August of next year. The decision to
secure new building was reached at
the closing session of the Minnesota
district at the seminary yesterday.
1t was decided that the next district
meeting be held in Duluth.
Officers of the district were elected
as follows: President, Rev. G. Etpel,
Springfield, Mimi; vice president, Rev.
G. Diedner, Brownton, Mimi; secre-
tary, Rev. c. Herewig, Manson, Iowa;
treasurer, II. Bennen, st. Paul. The
committee recommended that the re-
port of the retiring president, Profess
sor Henry Ernst of st. Paul, be ac-
cepted.

vested in mayor and six councilmen,
who will administer the affairs of all

sist of one alderman from each of the
ten wards the city will have next year,
and five aldermen from the city at
large, all elected by the vote of the
entire city, the former, however, com
ing one from ward and the latter
five without regard to ward lines.
The charter strictly forbids any city
employee being interested in any way
with any business deal the city makes,
or being interested in any way with
any public utility corporation in the
city.
All boards are abolished except the
board of education.
The city is divided into the follow
ing departments: Department of public

partment of waterwOrks; department
of bridges, sewers, sidewalks and
streets with bureau of electricity !;
health department, including the pres
ent health and sanitary departments,
and the Grady hospital; department of

books. The city's accounting must be
done in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the United States CEN
sus bureau

The mayor will get $4,000 a year,
councilmen, $2,4OO each and aldermen
$40 a meeting, their annual compensa-
tlon not to exceed $4,000
The initiative recall and referen-
dunn are all provided for.

RECALLS THE DAYS OF TllDEH.

Thirty three years ago today there
were momentous doings in st. Louis.
The national convention of the demo-
cratic party, intent on victory as 1T
had not been since the war, in the
midst of wild scenes of enthusiasm,
nominated Samuel Jones Tilden for
the presidency.
Thirteen days before the republican
convention had met in Cincinnati, list
ened to Robert G. lngersoll's stirring
appeal for the nomination of the
"plumed knight" James Gillespie Blaien
and then selected for its candidate
Governor Rutherford b. Hayes of Ohio.
Hayes was looked upon as a weak
sister" by the democratic leaders. If
Blaine had been nominated by the
Republicans, so they asserted, there
would have been no chance of a
Tilden victory. The campaign was, in
many respects, the most notable in
the history of the republic, and Tilden
escaped election by narrower mar
gin than any candidate before or since.
His popular vote, 4,2S4,265, was con-
siderably in excess of that east for
Hayes, and it was not until 1877 that
the electoral commission awarded the
Presidency to Hayes by an electoral
vote of lS5 to 1884, To this day, mil
lions of Americans believe that Tilden,
by rights. should have been the nine
teenth president of the United States
Tilden was born in New York in
1914. was educated at the University
of New York and studied law with
Benjamin +. Butler. In lS4l he was
admitted to the bar. He early inter
ested himself in politics, and by 1868
became the commanding figure in the
democratic party of New York. In
1874 he was elected governor of his
native state. BY breaking up the no.
torious canal ring" and other notable
acts of public service he attained ma :
tional fame, and when the democratic
national convention met in 1876 he
was the logical candidate for the presi-
dency.
When the commission had announ-
ced its finding, Tilden took his defeat
philosophically, although he had great
CT cause than any other presidential
aspirant to rail to the untoward fates
that retired him to private life. He
died in Ionkers, n. Y, in 1856.

LOOK OUT STATIONS
UNCLE SAM WILL ENACT SOME
IN THE TRUST.
Object is to Protect Spread of Forest
Fires; Climate in National For
est Fire States is Dry and Rain
fall is Usually Very Light; Many
Thousands of Dollars Are Saved
Each Year.

Working along the line of securing
the greatest results in protection
against fire, with minimum of expen-
diture, the Forest Service has decided
to establish on the most advantageous
points of the National forests in the
west series of lookout stations from
which news of the breaking out of
forest fires can be telephoned to for
est officials.
Since all of these stations will COM
mand a view of the country for miles
around the work of detecting and ex-
tinguishing fires in their incipiency,
will, by this plan, be greatly expedited,
with the result that many thousands
of dollars worth of valuable timber
will be saved annually.
In most of the national forest states
the climate is very dry, and the rain
fall light. Conditions, therefore, are
remarkably favorable for the spread of
fire and extraordinary diligence is nee
essary in patrolling dangerous areas.
To administer the vast area included
in the national forests, approximately
l95,OOO,OOO acres, the government has
about l,4OO men in the field. If each
man could be used for fire patrol, he
would have to cover approximately
$4,000 acres As a matter of fact,
however, the volume of business on
the national forests, has grown to such
proportions that less than twenty-five
per cent of the force is available. This
makes it necessary to spread an aver
age mans service over nearly four
times $4,000 acres. decreasing fire pro-
lection far below the point of safety
in many cases.
In the face of this, however, fire
losses on the national forests are kept
at point where they are trivial when
compared with the damage which
would be caused were the lands con-
tanned in the national forests anpro-
tected.

Believes IN The C0ATLESS
SABBATH DURING HOT WAVE

An invitation has been extended
by Rev. w. r. Harshaw, pastor
of Grace Presbyterian church, Min
neapolis, to the male members of
his church and congregation to at
tend service in their shirt sleeves
The shirt waist man and the man
without a coat will be as welcome
IN the church, according to Mr..
Harshaw as the man with a Prince
Albert. A coatless Sabbath for the
men, according to Mr.. Harshaw,
Is only a right that is due them
and has not been taken advantage
OF before. The women of the
church are attired in light clothing
and there is no reason, according
to the minister, why they should
be favored more than the men.

.FL|RT| IS GOOD THING
ADVICE GIVEN THE FAIR ONES BY
AN AGED PROFESSOR.
Says 1t Is the Surest Road Toward the
Proper knowledge of Social Life;
Should Mingle a Little Frivolity
With Studies; Students Hail the
Sage Suggestions With Joy; His
Lectures.

Boston. Mass, June 29-Professor
George Herbert Palmer, sixty seven
years old, twice wed and reported to
be contemplating third venture into
the realms of matrimony, has come
forth with the pronunciamento that a
little flirting, properly, conducted, of
course, is not only advisable but even
is imperative for the average college
boy or girl.
Flirting is the surest road toward the
proper knowledge of social life, declares
the aged professor, who has the dis
tinction of being the oldest member of
the Harvard faculty and whose second
wife, Alice Freeman Palmer, was pres
ident of Wellesley college from 1881
to 1887.
Harvard and Radcliffe students hail
the professors dictum with Joy, for
until now it has been supposed gener-
ally that the faculties of these insti-
buttons of learning viewed flirting with
horror, and it is even whispered about
that little token in the form of
statue of Dan Cupid may be presented
to Nr. Palmer by grateful students.
Study Takes Too Much Time.
81 think the girls of Radcliffe and
the boys of Harvard devote too much
of their time to study" says Professor
Palmer. They actually bury themselves
in their books and the result is that
when they get through college they
don't know thing about social life
''They should mingle little frivolity
with their studies. In other words,
they should firt little.
'Were | to advise the boys of Har.
ward or the girls of Radcliffe, | would
tell them to 90 around and see things
more than they do.
81 always am reminded of girl
graduate of Radcliffe who studied SO
hard that she got the reputation of be-
ing overstudious. She never went any
where. While the other girls were hav-
ing a good time she remained in her
room studying.
"She was graduated with high hon
Cio anu WHICH, was HtI SOOu-
by l told her she had task before her
"She thought I would say something
in regard to work, but, contrary to her
anticipations, told her she would have
to firt good and hard to. make up for
lost time, and she said that she would.
"Time, Place and Girl" Factors.
"Of course it makes a good deal of
difference who does the flirting, where.
and with whom. The time, the place
and the boy and girl have good deal
to do with it.
IF all could see the tired out BOYS
and girls that see, all would, know.
admit that a little bit of flirting now
and then would be a real vacation for
them.
81 have three lectures week at
Radcliffe, and it is surprising how many
young, girls are letting the best part
of their lives go by without having the
least bit of enjoyment.

FIVE YEARS OF PROSPERITY.

Mr.. j. Ogden Armour tells the Chi
cago Record Herald that after our two
lean years are to come five full ones.
This prophecy he makes with the note
OF spontaneity' that has been absent
from the advance songs of Prosperity
for these many months past.
Indeed, the tone of Mr. Armour's in
terview is as remarkable as its sub.
stance. He does not say eve NAV"
I'VE might" or 1--WE would but "we
will" have. 'an era of phenomenal
prosperity for the next five years.
There is in his words none of the hes
itancy that industrial leaders have
been constrained to feel when speaking
of our emergency from commercial pro-
stration, a hesitancy which has per-
force marked the utterances of Mr..
Armour himself in the past We can
feel, as he speaks that there is an
immense weight off his own shoulders
and that he is again facing the future
with the buoyancy that good times
inspire.
1t is decidedly reassuring, too, to
note that Mr.. Armour, like Mr.. Har-
riman, has once more got down to that
fundamental basis of our commercial
well-being- good crops. The tariff out
look bothers the Chicagoan but little
more than it did the New Yorker. He
does not predicate everything upon ''the
probability that the railroads will be-
gin to buy supplies again." nor is he
influenced by what stocks may do or
where money may flow. He tells us,
in effect that we are on the verge of
returning to the familiar days when
the corn and wheat fields were the
only things we had to watch in order
to forecast the business outlook.
In our view, such an interview with
such man as Mr.. Armour means
really more than it says. On its face
it predicts the return of prosperity for
five years; Analysing it more deeply,
it may well be taken as a sign that
prosperity already is here.

DOWN At THE HEELS
LOBBYISTS DO NOT FARE WELL
AT NATIONS CAPITAL.
No Rich Pickings These Days; Moth
ing to It," the Prayed Edged Wire
Fuller Will Say When Questioned;
How the Money" Was Passed to
the Members in Good Old Days.

Washington, June 29.-"How's the
lobbying business nowadays?" asked a
New Yorker who was in Washington
last week for the first time in eight or
ten years. His query was addressed
to seedy looking individual who was
leaning idly against the marble bust
of Thomas Jefferson in Statuary hall at
the capitol. Years ago he was pointed
to with awe as man with great
pull with congress, one of the most
successful, nigh priced lobbyists of his
day.
There's nothing to it." replied the
broken down wire puller disconsolately.
Fellows in my line are starving to
death. When anybody hands you a
fancy story about the lobby at Wash
ington spending barrel of money to
get jokers in the tariff dill you can
put it down as rot, pure and simple"
The Days That Are Gone.
Part of this lament, at least, is true
The days of the "Third House"-the
corrupt, bribe-giving element-are gone
No doubt there is some lobbying going
on, but it is of the quiet, gentle, gen
teel sort that does not attract atten-
tion There are no men here of the
Sam Ward, Ayres and Nat Mckay type,
famous for their terrapin and cham
payne dinners, and capable of delivering
a dozen votes or more in bunch, and
having innocent looking iOkers slipped
into pending bills.
A hungry lawmaker might go through
the capitol corridors with spyglass
and not succeed in finding a single
corruptionist anxious to pass money to
a member of congress. The lobbyist
of this type was never tolerated in
Washington. The business was done on
a far more scientific, refined plane.
Tom Troy, in the good old days, had
a subtle fashion of bribing senators
whose moral fiber was somewhat de-
cayed. He would take such a man out
driving behind pair of spanking trot-
tiers.
THAT'S fine bit of property over
there" Troy would say, fsking his
whip at vacant lot in a street in the
fashionable quarter of the city. You
could make a neat turn by investing
there"
''Sorry, but I'm not in position to
buy real estate just now" the senator
would reply
How He Turned the Trick.
Perhaps a week later the senator
would find in his mail a draft for
$1,000, with note from Tom Troy,
running something like this:
'Dear Senator: You will recall nv
offer to sell you a building lot in Mas
sachusetts avenue some time ago. I
reserved an option for it in your name
and yesterday closed it out at an ad-
vance of $4,000 / send you draft for
some herewith and congratulate you
on your quick turn"
Or, if the lobbyists wanted to be
more cautious, he would deposit the
$1,000 with a broker in the name of the
senator or representative. If any ques-
ton should be raised about the money
it could easily be made to appear that
the lawmaker had taken flyer in
the stock market and had Cleaned up"
a few thousand. Nothing suspicious
about that. If things of this sort
are happening nowadays they are kept
mighty quiet.

The Palace of Dreams

The palace of my dreams
An old Alhambra seems,
Where through my soul doth roam
Deploring its lost home.
The broken arches, walls
Whereon the ivy crawls;
The voiceless fountain, courts
Where but the lizard sports
They one and all but tell
Where Memory doth dwell,
Where Hope, long buried. lies;
How fast has flown, and flies,
The unrewarding hour
hat leaves no fragrant flower,
But only leaves the grief
That holds a faded leaf
A ghost of things forlorn
That still doth haunt the place,
Beyond the power of morn
To quicken into grace.
L speak, and only wake
An echo sad and strange;
I sigh, and only break
The silence naught can change,
For Laughter hence is fled
To nevermore turn,
And JOY, her mate, is dead,
And Peace is in her urn;
And only |, bereft,
Among my ruin old,
To count my loss, am left
Like mold above the mold.
Farewell, farewell. And yet
(I doubt it not) somewhere,
Sweet fragrancing the air,
There grows violet
My loving hands have set
And this precludes despair;
This hope, this dream, abides,
And all the ruin hides;
For, after all, we live
Not in ourselves so much
AS in the Things we touch
To issues finer than our own;
And often these glory give
Outgleams the glory flown.

FIGHT IN THE COURT
ATTACK ON THE PORK DARRELL
HAS REACHED THE TRIBUNAL.
Attorney General Simpson Holds That
the State Cannot Be Made a
Party to An Action; Senator
Cooke Declares Tat He Has Not
Received Backing of Anyone;
Not Actuated Pique in Matter.

st. Paul, June Ex-senator L. O.
Cookies attack on the 100000 road
and bridge bill was heard in the SUI
preme court yesterday. Attorney Gen
eral Simpson made lengthy argu-
ment for the discharge of the tenn
porary injunction restraining State Au-
ditor Iverson from expanding the mon
ey appropriated.
Senator Cooke, who was present in
person, was represented by former At
torney General W. b. Douglas. The
only other legislator in attendance was
c. L. Spooner, the house member from
Morris.
The attack on the law which Sc
cured temporary injunction from the
Ramsey county district court, was on
the ground that it was in violation
of the constitution, being contract
of debt for carrying on internal i'm
provements. This Mr.. Simpson met
with the argument that free public
roads and internal improvements are
not synonymous and the appropriating
of money for state purpose was not
Il debt. Ii such were true, he argued,
then every appropriation made was a
debt and therefore in violation of the
constitution.
