FIRST BANQUET IS
A Big SUCCESS
cREEcAN TELLS OF Y. M. C. A.
WORK AS HE HAS FOUND IT
BY PERSONAL VISITS 20 VAR.
Gus PARTS OF THE WORLD
BURKE WAS A SPEAKER.

The idea to have an annual banquet
of the senior members OF the Y. M.
G. A. had its first try-out last night
on the spacious gymnasium floor of the
big institution. 1t may be put down
that the first annual banquet was a
grand success from beginning to end.
Covers were laid for $685.
To the strains of an orchestra the
guests were seated and under the d.
rection of Mrs. Hance, young ladies
Of the different churches and the Y
w. G. A. the guests were nicely served,
the appointments for the feast being
well nigh perfect.
The POSTMASTER and speakers table
was arranged at the extreme eastern
part of the room so that all could
hear and see all that went on, and
Atty. John S. Frame was the toast
master. He gave a witty and pleas
ing talk on the Y. M. G. A. and in
troduced Treasurer Loomis who had
prepared a statement OF the standing
of the association for the past year,
and which was found at each mans
plate.
Secretary Wolfe was the next speak
er and with the aid of a stereopticon
and an immense screen he told of the
work that had been done by the as
ISOLATION and of what was hoped to
be done for the next year. He was
listened to with close attention. Mr..
Wolfe has been one of the hardest
workers the association has ever had
and his work has brought forth the
very best results.
Prof. e. G. Watkins was next in
troduced and he had the pleasure of
presenting the pennant of the basket
ball league to the Hatcher Brothers
team as winners in the past season
league. Mr.. Watkins was exceedingly
witty in his remarks and received
hearty applause.
DIR. G. G. Creegan, president Of the
Fargo college who was on the national
board Of the Y. M. c. A. was the next
speaker, and he showed marked know
ledge of the work of the association
all over the world, as he has been a
great traveller. He gave much praise
to the association, it's officers and it's
building and said that he did not know
of city Of its size in the world that
had anything nearly so fine. He told
of the hardships that the association
had in other parts of the world and
Of the great work done, and he was
warmly applauded.
Governor Burke was the next and
last speaker and he told of Y M c.. A.
work as he found 1t over the state, and
Of how pleased he was to be present |
on this occasion.
Too much credit cannot be given |
to Secretary Wolfe and the other |
for the manner in which |

CHILD IS BURNED
TO Death At zIM
PLAYS WITH MATCHES WHILE
PARENTS ARE FIGHTING FIRE,
WITH FATAL RESULTS,

Hibbing, Mimi, May Avail the
-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Pilkela, farmers living about two
miles south Of the Missabe road, lost
her life at the village of zim. The ac-
cident happened Monday when the peo-
pie of zim were greatly excited on ac-
count of the nearness of the forest fires.
Mr.. Pilkela went out to fight the
flames and his wife grew anxious and
after a time went in search of him.
During her absence little Vail got
matches and set a bed on fire. Fright
ened by the flames she crawled under
the bed where she was burned to
death.
Her father and mother returned to
the house in time to save her, but
could not find her, as she had evident
ly hidden under the bed in her fright
and was afraid to cry out. When she
was found she was almost completely
burned, only a few bones remaining.
The funeral was held yesterday, Rev.
j. B. A. Idstrom Of Hibbing, oficiat-
ing.

FARMERS PLEASED.
They Like the Idea of Having a Co
pher Bounty.

Darlington, N. D., May 14.-That
the county commissioners of Foster
county acted wisely in offering a
bounty for the killing of gophers is
the general belief of farmers who are
acquainted with the situation. A great
many of the pests are being killed off
and the farmers will realize benefit
through the saving in their crop
which would otherwise be taken by the
gophers, of which there have been
great numbers. The commissioners
have set aside fund of large numbers
to pay bounty on $4,000 gophers If
that many can be found, which is
hardly probable.

the men In the BOAT on shore.
By the woman's directions just be-
fore they reached the shore, the man
picked up two fallen branches of palm.
They ran to the beach opposite the
entrance and waved the palm branches
above their heads. It was too far for
the voice to carry and there was too
much noise from the breakers on the
reef If the distance had been shorter.
But the men in the boat evidently
caught sight Of the signals n under

about and In a few moments they saw

lagoon through the n entrance to the
barrier. The man and woman stood
silently. a little apart, watching the
swift approach. Unerringly steered,
the boat struck the gently shelving
beach bows on, and a last sturdy
pull drove her fairly out of the water.
The man in the stern sheets rose.
stepped forward between the oarsmen
and leaped out on the sand.

Now thai the great moment had
come-for Langford had at last recOg-
nized the woman whom he sought in
spite of her strange garb-he became
suddenly acutely conscious of trivial
details and accurately responsible to
matters of no moment. He stepped,
for instance, near the bow Of the boat,
told che coxswAin that he might aIloW

walked slowly-singular how eager he
had been for that moment and how
tardy he was in availing himself OF
it when it came-toward the W who
stood silently watching a little dis
lance away.
He was dressed in a boating suit
Of white and wore a white yachting
cap. He was distinctly good looking.
His repentance, his anxiety, his disap-
pointment had refined his face to a
certain degree and he was not an I'M
worthy specimen Of humanity in ap-
pearance. The man looked at him
with vivid curiosity and a sudden
sense of dismay to find the new conner
so worthy of respect on the ground of
appearance at least.
The glance that LangfOrd gave the
man was at nee casual and 1nd1ffer-
ent. His whole interest was centered
upon the woman. He found himself
trembling violently in spite of the
-superhuman efforts he put forth at
control. It was only the most iron
constraint indeed that enabled him to
approach her at all. AS he drew near
to her, he took off his cap, bowed to
her and strove to speak

answer.
The woman had neve seen he COM
panion in a temper, but he was peril
ously near the breaking point now, and
Langford, although he realized it not,
had never been and would never be
in so much danger as at that instant.
A swift glance showed her the man
strung to the very ~outbreaking point.
The woman laid her hand upon his
arm, a calming ouch.
In the world" she said, people are
presented to n another"
How she loathed Langford. She
thought for a moment that she had
only to say the word and her island
companion would tear him to pieces.
She wondered how far after all she
had succeeded in 1nstilling into his
mind the restraints Of civilization. She
began to see dimly that such an
achievement was beyond the power of
any single individual; that it had beer
In the past and would always be in the
future the result of the cooperation
and restraint of the many. Yet she
forced herself to speak evenly to the
visitor.
M Langford, l believe this mans
name to be John Revell Charnock. 1
believe him to be an American, a Vir-
ginian. l found him here pom the
island"
This matters nothing" said the is
lander, Il don't care what this mans
name is, or who he is. I want to know
why he distresses you"
Sir" said Langford, wondering what
was the best tone to take with this
singular being, pray let us withdraw

we can be more private"

Man." said the woman, laying her
hand upon his arm, cit is my wish"
'Oh, if you wish it."
He turned without a word and led
the way rapidly across the beach out
of earshOt but not out of sight among
the trees.
Now he said turning and facing
the other two.
He noticed that the woman was
CHASTITY white and that Langford was
scarcely less pale.

For a moment Langford looked as If

but he was so clearly no match for

to his aid and kept him still. Besides
he had no wish for vulgar brawling

ALTER DETENTION HOUSE
VINO STARS PROBE
F~reeholders Order Architects to Prepare Plans for R~emodeling
Building and Arranging Qua rters as Sheriff Suggested.
Committee Acts After Grand Jury Playing.

The building committee of the Board
OF Freeholders at yesterdays meeting
ordered Hurd & Sutton, architects. to
prepare plans for alterations in the
house of detention, at the corner OF
New and Newark streets, so that 1t can
be utilized by the sheriff.
The alterations ordered are the same
as those recommended by Sheriff Har-
rigan following an investigation of con-
ditions at the new building conducted
by the EVENING STAR April 81 last.
At that time it was found that the
building was defective in so many re-
spects that 1t was useless as a house of
detention.
Lack OF protecting bars on windows,
no ratings enclosing stairway. no
method OF communication between the
male and female departments, except
through kitchen. building lot not en-
closed by fence and many other defects
were found by the EVENING STAR
Sheriff Harrigan refused to use the
house until its condition was remedied
and so reported to the Board Of Free
holders. No action was taken By that
body, and the first April grand jury
took the matter up in its presentment
and upheld the stand of the sheriff that
the building is useless in its present
form. That was the middle of May, but
