 The thcater was packed, the ma jority being women, many of whom had reason to think the minister was addressing himself directly to them so daringly personal was his talk.
 Pictures of women in short tube gowns had been taken on Nicollet Ave. and these were thrown on the screen to illustrate his ideas. Also the nude in paintings and sculpture.
 Morrill, wound up by announcing in thunderouS tones that the present styles in women's dress were planned by the devil for the use of the demi- monde of Paris and other European capitals, and that American women who ape them are either of the same class, headed that way, or poor sap heads whose folly removes them from the realm of pure and noble woman- hood"

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 2-Beforc na audience almost wholly feminine, Rev. G. l.. Morrill, attacked the pres cnt styles of womcn's dress Sunday morning in the Unique theater.
 He hit without mercy, and he show, ed pictures of women taken on Nicol- let Ave. which, he said, were not as bad as the worst, but bad enough.
 The woman who follows the cX- tremeS of present styles in dress, and so attircd walks the streets" said Morrill,, must expect to be consid- cred q woman of the underworld.
 "She has no right to be offend ed if men accost her.

McCLAIN's WARNING.
Ex-SPeaker Says That Charitable
Appropriations Are Running
Too High.

Ex-Speaker Frank McClain has made
statement in which he called attention
to the heavy increase of appropriations
to local charities, those which are either
private or partly so. He says that in
1877 such appropriations were but $135,
600.
"In 1887 this class of appropriations
amounted to $57S,275; in 1897 to 81, ,7O2.
56l, and in 1907 investigation discloses
that the States benefactions to institu-
tons not under its control and purely
local in character to the enormous sum
of $6,S00, ,000 practically 80 times as
much as was appropriated in 1877. OF
the annual appropriations in 1907, ST.
400, 900 was for maintenance and s., l00,-
600 was for buildings. The State rev.
enues in 30 years, from 1877 to 1907,
multiplied trihe over three-fold and
appropriations to institutions, with
which the State has no direct concern
have multiplied in the corresponding
time virtually fifty-fold.
"These facts suggest that the time i,
approaching, lift has not already arrived
when revenues must be increased or this
class of appropriations reduced. TIL,
fixed charges of the State government
are naturally increasing with increase il
population and development, and it il
useless to talk of reduction in this \direc
ton. The demand for public improve
ments-good roads, etc. is becomin,
more insistent in each succeeding session
of the general assembly, and good road
and more money are synonymous term
at the present time. The work of tn,
State Department of Health has so com
mended itself to the people of the Com
monwealth that on all sides is heard thu
cry, make it broader"
'Unexpended balances of appropria
tions made in 1907 and surplus of 81,
600, 900 may raise the revenues to $46,
100000 or $47 100000 as the outsid
figure that can be appropriated, $1,000,
600 less than theappropriations of 1907.

II was alleged that the prisoners
used $4,000 of the company's funds to
finance a mining venture. After the
discovery of the thefts the two men
resigned from the company, and Colo
mel Britton made restitution of $4,000
or $4,000.

known national guard officers in the
country. He was regarded as an au
thority on military tactics and wrote

poses fundamental changes in the old

that no person shall be eligible for

at least ten years preceding his cleo
tion and that the salary be increased
to SECOND IA year"

of aldermen and in its place create n
council of thirty-nine members to serve
without pay. The council will have
large ordinance making powers. but
will have no control over the admin
istrative business of the city or over
franchises.
A marked change in the existing sys-
TEN Is made by withdrawing from the
borough presidents all administrative
functions. Instead of one large mayor
and five small ones there will be a
single executive. e ----
The board of education will cease to
he separate corporation and will be
reduced to fifteen members. The office
of coroner Is abolished, and all the
duties he performs are turned over

eight miles in eleven minutes and fif-

Curdy decided upon n longer excur-
sion. Starting from DIR. Bells labora-
tory, he flew to Stoney island and
sack, passing over Baddeck harbor
both on the outward journey and in
returning.
The whir of the motor and the pro-
peller blades of the new flying ma
chine, which is of the aeroplane type,
as 1t passed over Baddeck attracted
the entire population out of doors, and
the long flight Of the Dart was wit
messed by thousands of people.

CITIZENS S MILE RACE
How to Train.

1Tor all who may contemplate entering
these races, the following suggestions
are Important
Long walks and slow jogging should
always be given course of training for
distant running. Whenever a difficulty
in breathing is felt, the athlete should
walk until his powers of respiration have
recovered. He should never sit or stand
around uncovered, but as soon as his
work is done, cover up warmly until an
opportunity to be rubbed down is given
him, and then dry, warm clothes should
follow.
While running, the athlete should stop
just as soon as he feels pain in his side,
or the front part of his lower leg be-
comes sore.
The diet should be simple, sleep abun-
dant. Omit tobacco, all alcoholic liquors,
tea, coffee, pickles, pastry, dumplings
and the like.
The time to start to prepare for the
run is now. Do not wait, but pitch in
and get the winters stiffness out of the
muscles.
Further advice will be given from time
to time within the next few weeks.
For additional information watch the
columns of this paper. In few days
detailed announcement of the necessary
steps to enter will be made. In the
meantime those desiring to enter can dc
so by communicating with The CITIZEN
