The minister Of L-- Is one Of
those quietly humorous characters Of

He has a deal to contend with In
his preaching, and the chief matter he
has to combat Is sleep.
Many of his hearers begin to doze

He managed this successfully for
some time. but one Sunday he failed
to rouse an old woman, well-known
innkeeper In the parish. At length,
just as he was about to yield, bright

"Anither pint here, Janet!" whereupon
the good old innkeeper started up and

almost mystifying to every person, a
really premier act of its kind, then it

and becomes unusual. Such an act is
that to be given at Pantages, for the

his beautiful co-worker, Hope Eden.
Not to go into detail of the really
newly marvellous things that Prescott
accomplishes, perhaps the simplest
will be the most taking. that Of telling
the names of persons who attend the

whatever. This is test in which the

that Prescott easily accomplishes. Dur

TAMANNY's ORIGIN

braves were in the municipal saddle.
They were power in every election,
city, state, national. They were bit
terly opposed and assailed. Many of
their office holding members were &C.
cused and convicted of crime, but
Tammany continued to hold the Of
fees.
The first Tammany brave who seems
to have been entitled to the distinc-
ton of boss" was William M. Tweed,
of notorious memory, Grand Sachem
OF the society, and between 1859 and
1871 a power to be reckoned with in
municipal affairs. In 1871 the most
corrupt period in the history of the
city was ended. Boss Tweed and his
ring were crushed. The committee of
20, representing the best business and
professional elements, by it's investiga-
tons and charges, broke up the un-
speakable reign Of theft. Tweed died
in Ludlow street Jail, April IL, 1878.
All this was very harmful to Tam.
many. Then came new leader, John
Kelly, Honest John Kelly" He was
aided in the rebuilding of Tammany
by John Morrissey the noted prize
fighter. In 1874 Kelly's rule was SUI
preme and he held command for 10
years.
Tammany was handled for a time
by a junta of four members, but in
1883 Richard Croker became the abso-
lutte director. For close to Is years
Croker continued in power, finally re-
signing because of i'll health and going
to live in England.
The present boss --the Indian titles
and Indian customs have been almost
entirely abandoned-is Charles II. Muir
ply, who has held the leadership since
1903.
A recent writer thus describes the
organization:
"Tammany is, as it long has been,
the most perfect piece Of political
mechanism in the world It's organiza-
tom composed of boss district lead
ers, election district captains, and va
rious and comprehensive committees,
reaches every part Of the city and
works in unison with the exact preci-
sion of a machine"
Its precision and its power. were
again impressively illustrated in the
defeat of Mayor Mitchell.

FUNERAL OF POPULAR MODESTO
Many Friends Attend the Requiem
Mass at the Pro-Cath-
edraI.

The funeral services of Mrs. Alex
ander H. Boyde, known in the business
world of the Twin Cities for over thir-
ty years as Madame Boyd, were con-
Quoted at the Pro Cathedral at 10
o'clock Wednesday morning. A High
Mass of Requiem was celebrated by
the pastor, Rev. T. E. Cullen, who also
preached the funeral sermon.
Many friends and acquaintances
were in attendance to pay farewell
tribute to their former associate. The
deceased was woman of keen bust
ness talent, and fine qualities of mind
and heart. Her many deeds of char
ity were known to her more intimate
acquaintance and her good offices
were ever at the disposal of her en-
ployes and business associates.
Her extensive business transactions
required her to make trips to London
and Paris twice each year during the
past thirty years, giving her an ex-
tended experience in business and So
cial matters that few are fortunate
enough to attain.
Mrs. Boyd was in her seventy-fir
year. She was born in Seneca Falls,
N. Y, in October, 1S47. For many
years the sign of her business life was
at Tenth street and Nicollet avenue,
where the Meyers arcade is now.
About eight or ten years ago she NOV
ed to 301 Tenth street south, the
former residence of Fred G. Pillsbury.
1t was there she died. She is survived
by her husband and by a cousin, Mrs.
Hotchkiss of New York.
