Little Mother" Visits Prison,

Accepting the invitation of War
den Wolfer to come here and speak
to the inmates, Mrs. Maud Ballington
Booth, the prisoners Little Mother"
arrived at the prison last Friday
morning a1d delivered short, but
earnest and sincere talk to the boys
who were assembled In the chapel
hall.
Mrs. Booth, who was on her way
from Chicago to Minneapolis to at
tend the meeting of the Conservation
Congress, was met at Hudson, by
Mr.. Frank Wolfer and Rev. Benson,
who escorted her to Saltwater. She
was received at the prison by Mrs.
Henry Wolfer, the Warden being at
St. Cloud attending a meeting of the
Parole Board, and appeared in the
chapel a little after 7 o'clock. Being
introduced by Rev. Benson, and well
coined by the inmates, the Little
Mother" came forward and told how
glad she was for the opportunity of
coming to Saltwater and talking to
her boys. She spoke of her work
among the. prisoners; of the Hope
Halls and the good they were ac-
complishing through the help they
offered to released prisoners in their
uphill fight toward good citizenship.
She told how she was first moved to
dedicate her life to the work she is
doing by the sight of conditions at
the California prison at San Quentin,
sixteen years ago, and how much
had been accomplished since then.
She spoke of the great advantages
of right living, and ended with a
strong appeal to her boys'' to for
ever forsake the paths which lead to
prisons, and turn their steps upward
and regain their places among men
and good citizens. Her appeal will
long be remembered by the inmates
and will undoubtedly accomplish a
great deal of good for there are many
here who needed just the words of
hope and cheer and encouragement
that were given them last Friday
morning. to start them on the road
that leads to the place where the
Little Mother" would have them 90.
While this is Mrs. Booths first
appearance here, most of us feel as
though we had known her always.
1t is needless to say that we shall
eagerly await her next visit.
After her talk in the chapel Mrs.
Booth breakfasted at the Warden's
residence, and then went to the New
Prison inspecting the building
there and delivering a short talk to
the inmates. Later she proceeded
on her way to Minneapolis.

to him was 10 warm him up in the

Good Burlesque At Grand

The Miss New York Jr., company
presenting A Marriage of Convent

ed to capacity houses yesterday.
The Thanksgiving burlesque attrac-
ton is regarded by some as one of
the best that has appeared at the
playhouse this season.
The music is new and catchy, the
comedy clever, the vaudeville, in
which Mysterious Waldo" appears
in what is billed "A Psychic Phen-
omenon," is mystifylng and the gen
eral scenic effects pleasing.
Watson and Cohan are comedians
of ability who lead the coterie Of
funmakers with the company, ap-
pearing in Hebrew Characterization.
They assume the roles of Brusky
and Rusky, leading characters in a
Mexican uprising.
Lillian Houston, soubrette, shows
ability as singer and dancer, and
runs practically even race with
Miss Fay O'Dell, prima donna, for
first honors. Especial song hits are

D1sAPPRovE GRADING PROJECT
Commissioners Oppose Improvement
of Minnesota Avenue.

Unfavorable action on the bill of SEN
ator Gallinger for the grading and i'm
proving of Minnesota avenue northeast,
from East Capitol street to Hunt place, is
recommended by the District Commits
sioners in a report sent to Congress yes
terday
The object of the bill is to appropriate
$4,000 for grading the avenue for dis
lance of about 5000 feet. In their re-
port the Commissioners say that Minne-
sofa avenue is a public highway only for
about 500 feet of the distance involved
in the BILL and that 1t would be imprac-
ticable to improve the portion which is
not public space.
They say that the amount of $4,000 pro-
posed to be appropriated would not be
sufficient for the pnrIose, even if the land
were a public highway, and that the i'm
provement is one which, in their opinion,
should await the Submission of the Com
missioners' estimates for the fiscal year
