Corruption and dlsrup- rampant, and fraud raid :> have been the order of the day. ; •\u25a0 all the efforts of these .id by a ruffianly police t'M-ce, the mass of the Democracy has Its will known. It has asserted •remacy, and the duly elected dele- 's convention represent . :: iina;c aspirations of the party and stand ior the legitimate wishes of the decent elements of political society. i.iv night's primaries were the at- •i consummation of the conspiracy of fraud and blackguardism which h;is '.he downfall of Democracy since these men were foolishly allowe-l to usurp ihe functions of a city c >m- mlttee. humiliating and disgraceful to the Globe to be compelled to record the if this situation. They are worthy days, of ballot box stuffing and political terrorism. Unless .they and who have produced them are wiped from the face of the Democracy irij in St. Paul must stand branded • L-hosen abiding place of successful \u25a0a crime against the fran- ft i.- a condition, not a theory, which lie delegates to the Democratic today. The hands of the en put back four years, as four years ago, a band of ruf- take control of what should Icliberatlve body. They have bern us far by Mayor Rioters po- Thej will be backed still further. The < riais has come. It rest? with the rrtiik and tile of the party how it shall be met. The duly elected delegates of the party have imposed on them a grave responsibility. The attempt will be made, .-i? it was made four years ago, tv wrest from them the organization of the body In which they have been chos- en to represent the voters of their party. The means adopted will be the same. id will be used to back up force. They are a desperate band who are playing ihis desperate game. They will etop at nothing. They have entered the cl adel of the party and seek to betray It to the enemy. Let every Democratic ite st;md as a soldier to his po?t, and when ihe moment of betrayal comes disarm the traitors and mount guard above the cause of good government and honorable party administration. From tho moment that the convention is called to order no man must falter. The party' 3 fate in this community is at stake. That convention must be controlled by the representatives of the party. In order thai this shall come to pass the mem- at this band of marauders must, if necessary, be trampled under foot, and the elected delegates must assume con- trol. I\ \ (TING TROUBLE. The press dispatches from Kentucky \u25a0how that public sentiment In the state Bilil remains excited, even to the point of an outbreak of bloodshed at any mo- ment Both sides seem on this occasion to !>e culpable in pursuing courses which produce needless excitement. The acting governor has given free expression tv views which are subversive of all re- spect tor law and order. His opponents, in urging forward at this time the trial of the men charged with being parties to the conspiracy to murder the late Sen- ator Gtoebei. 3eem acting In a spirit which 1h clearly liable to result In trouble. The arrested men are entitled to a speedy trial, provided they insist upon it. But the public Interests which are In- volved should dictate both to them and their political friends, as well aa to the iting officials, that the present is no time at which to conduct a prosecu- tion which must be regarded by a good proportion of the people as purely polit- ical in character. in order to allaj prevailing popular ex- citement representatives of the two par- ties should come together, aa they have already done, and reach some tentative agreement, pen.'ing- the decision of the court of appeals on the Question of the respective rights <>i" Beckham and Taylor.

'lnere is evidently bq such condition prevailing as admits of a fair trial betas; granted to these men. More than that, the court of ap- peals of Kentucky recently very prop- erly refused to hold its stssion overshad- owed as it was by military force during the period when it was apparent that the Republicans and mountain politicians were intent on shooting their titles clear to t;i,- offices in wUpu-". From all present Indications there is no better condition prevailing now than pre- vailed Immediately following the assa3- slnation of Mr. Goebel. Hostile armed forces confri.ru each other, each assum- i-.-.s; to represent the military authority of the state. The partisans among the peo- either party make open demon- si ;.<tion of tlu-ir partisanship. The friends of the accused men are disposed to re- gfv.i their arrest and Imprisonment as mere political persecution, it is true that the conspiracy which the news dis- patches Indicate the prosecution to be in a position to establish, if it existed, re- ieals an almost incredible state of things, showing the active co-operation of pub- lic ofneud.v with known bravoes and as- sassins Tor the murder of their political opponents. Even if that conspiracy is possible of proof, thls , s no( . thg t , me tQ offer proof of it. The courts should not consent to go on with the trial of these men. The Dem- ocratic officials should not be placed in ths position of urging- , he trials at this time. Thus far the Goebel adherents have shown self-«,ntroi and self-sacrific- ing patriotism. It win be deplorable if at the last moment they relinquish tnelr claim upon tiie public consideration which is concededly so weil founded. THE PHILIPPIC WAR IS VOI \G EJT. There- is realty no necessity for the peo- ple of the United States becoming im- Pa- tlent for the termination of the war in the Philippine islands. j t is not yet two years since Admiral Dewey with his fleet sailed into Manila bay and rescued the down-trodden Filipinos from the power and tyrannj of Spain, and, .wcordin* to the latest reports, not more than 1,300 American soldiers have been slain, only! a f-w thousand have died of disease, and but a few thousand have been wound- ed or stricken with sickness since the figtlng Logan. True, the Filipinos may have i'ost more men than we have, but that la theii concern. There is no earth- ly use in becoming- discouraged at this early s-uige of the war. Europe has en- j •: a a thirty years' war; the Dutch have Silting the natives of the island of Sumatra .since 1600; the Turks have been at war with the Armenians for three~hun- drcd years; the English have war on the Indian frontiers nearly all the time; Algiers has kept an army of 50,000 French soldiers busy lighting for the past eighty years; and as a matter of fact the American people have been lighting the Indians since ICliO or thereabouts. So, really, there is small cause for complaint yet because oi this war In the Philip- pine islands. It may be only just begin- ning, and may last for many years, or, like the war between the Dutch and their Sumatran subjects, it may last forever. Give the war a chance. It is young- yet. WAS iI : J:it H A OKI MB i The people of St. Paul have been sad- dened and shocked at the recital of the circumstances of the unfortunate accident that befell a worthy lady, of being frozen so that she will lose both her feet, and, it may be, her life. Blame certainly attaches somewhere for the possibility of such an occur- rence. The lady had a home and a hus- band, although, according to the news reports, her husband refused to admit her identity for some considerable time after her recovery, and had insisted that his wife was then at their home. She had been an innvate of one or more pub- lic institutions on account of being men- tally defective. She was adjudged Insane in lbltS, according to the reports and on the certificate apparently of one of the notable specialists on nervous disorders of the city. It is declared, even, that she has been an inmate of the Rochester lunatic asylum. How could such a person have been al- lowed to go alone and unattended through one of the most deserted portions of the city, so that she was rendered helpless by cold and exposure? This ia a serious question. The answer to it may involve a grave dereliction of duty, either pri- vate or public. From what point of de- parture did she wander to the place where she was discovered by the merest accident? How are her husband's contra- dictory statements to the reporters and his cold indifference as to what had be- fallen to be regarded? The woman's identity has been estab- lished. She must have been In her un- fortunate situation for over twenty-four hours. It is said that the remains of a loaf of bread were found in her pos- session. Now, no woman of her recog- nized social position could ordinarily have been found in any such condition unless there was something criminally wrong somewhere. The Globe dues not pretend to say ! that any person is criminally responsible for what has befallen this lady. But there is considerable mystery still .surrounding her disappearance arid recovery and the circumstances of her home life. The po- lice should thoroughly investigate the c;u=e. And, if there has been any such brutal neglect of tho "woman or pnpitiv.-. ill-treat m«H of her aa to have driven her to Ltee s>.ful Btcaita in which die appears to have been before she fell utii tbe sand pt< tn which >h> was found, .hose who are responsible should be held •rimlnally liable. The case ia an exceptional ono, and it is o be regretted thai the clrcuawtancea oi ( have not yet been Kplalned in a man- ner which is entirely cotfeistent with the ilamelessness of the friends or family of the lady.

Leopold Godowsky, the RuHPian pianist, I who appeared in recital at the People's i shurch iasL evening as the star of the Fourth concert of the Schubert Hub s<- : rles, scored an immense and instantane- ! juh triumph, and placed the name of | Leopold Godowsky on the list wlih world- ! famed pianists. His programme last even- ing embraced Grieg, Schumann, Chopin, Brahms and Lisst, with one group of his )wn paraphrases on the Chopin Etudes. Godowsky's art in his own particular field is unique; his position before the public eye today has been gained, not i atone through his remarkable abilities as j i pianist, but as a bold navigator In the I Chopin transcriptions of the Polish n>a.--- ! ter, and he has accomplished at a stroke i a. new thing in musical literature, [nter- 3St centered chiefly on last night's pro- | ?ramm« around the Chopin numbers, the ' niperb renditions of which have- earned for '\u25a0 him the title of a latter day Chopin. In these spiritual and ingenious transposi- tions of the Etudes, the Chopin profile was never lost, but, on the contrary, the paraphrases were more Chopin than Chopin himself. Technically, Godowsky's playing is perfection, the biggest technical and fortissinno passages being* played '< with the greatest ease. Variations on th« Paganinl theme, by Brahms, wag a com- plete revelation to the audience, bringing in as it did his wonderful and dexterous left hand. Technical feats were thrown off-hand right and left. No more satisfactory artist has ap- peared in the series than Mr. Godowsky and a re-engagement for next season would be one of the delights of the fu- ture. An enthusiastic and appreciative audience applauded Mr. Godowsky to the Mr Lewis Shawe. the baritone, com- n ,? y tivated the audience in the Yon b lelltz-Eliland, and added one more tri- umph to his already many laurels, his case and grace being strongly suggestive of that king of baritones, David Bispham Mr. Shawe'3 second group comprised a brace of three songs, the feature of which was the strongly dramatio pro- logue from "II Pagliacd." This !s one of the great test numbers in the baritone repertoire, and Mr. Shawe rendered it superbly. Mr. Oberhoffer's co-operation at the piano was a distinct feature of the concert. A splendid concert grand Steln- way piano added to the programme and was a delightful change from the instru- ment used in his Minneapolis concert. METROPOT tt \ N. An annoying feature incident to some of the big engagements at the Metropolitan this season has been 'a aeries of r.imors started by irresponsible parties concern- ing the attractions and the advance sales; whenever a line of ticket buyers at the box office window gave indication of bl*r business the management couM prophesy with invariable certainty that n number of busy-bodies would soon be running up and down telling people that the horse was sold out and that no seats could be had. And again, when a particularly at- tractive star would be playing an engage- ment which Included a matinee perform- ance, it was pretty safe to prophesy that a rumor would soon be afloat to the ef- fect that the star would not appear a the matinee. When Julia Arthur appeared at the Metropolitan a rumor gained some credit that she did not play the matinee performance, which caused a great dt-al of unnecessary annoyance to the manage- ment and the patrons of the Metropolitan, as Miss Arthur appeared -it every per- formance of "More than Queen"' in this city. All this is simply preliminary to the statement that Miss Viola Allen will positively appear at the matins?e perform- ance of "The Christian" at the Mi-tr,>- polltan this afternoon, us well .is at the farewell performance tonij^ht. The mati- nee will begin at 2 o'clock sharp, the evening performance at 8 o'clock. GRAND. Frederick Warde and his talented com- pany will give Iheir farewell performance at the Grand this afternoon and evening. Last night's audience was one of the largest of the week and was thoroughly representative in character. For this aft- ernoon is offered "Romeo and Juliet." The Juliet of Mrs. Brune is described as an artistic Impersonation. For tonight, '-Richard 111." Nobody WniitM to < m<-!i It. Washington Post.

WASHINGTON, March £2.—(Special.)— Chairman Babcock, of the national Re- publican congressional committee, says he Is satisfied that the result m the elec- tion this fail will give the Republicans at least tiftj Majority in the lower house In ihr Fifty-poventh congress. <h.iii:!,.in Hfeluiid;«>n, of the Demo- cratic nit'n.'Viii campaign committee, seems in bt- equally certain that the out- come next November will be favorable to the Democrats, lie places the Demo- cratic majority In the house in the Fiilv- seventh congress anywhere from thirty to fifty. Both iiif Republican and Democratic committees are ulready engaged in the preliminary work necessary in the na- tional congressional campaign. The Re- publicans have opened their headquarters and are sending to the four winds liter- atim- which they think will benefit their L-ause in the present campaign. The Dem- ocrats are preparing to Hood the country with documents which they believe will work to the detriment of the opposition party and to their hem-tit. The contest between the Republican and Democratic national congressional com- mittees will be second only to the fight which will be made between the Repub- lican and Democratic presidential com- mittees. As I have stated heretofore in tele- grams to this paper, tiie work of the presidential mid congressional committees will be separate and distinct in every pos- sible way. The Republican national pres- idential committee will have its princi- pal headquarters in Chicago. As was the case in 1886, this committee will have branch headquarters in New York city. The Democrats will p*ursue a similar course. The headquarters of the national presidential committee of the Populist party, however, will be in Washington. The headquarters of bath the Democratic and Republican congressional committees will also be in the national capital. Cer- tain politicians, considered wise by their associates, believe that all the parties will be wise in having their principal headquarters located in the capital. An effort will be made by the citizens In Washington to bring about such a result. They may or may not succeed. President McKlnley will be consulted by the peo- ple of Washington regarding this matter, as will Col. Bryan. There is a bare pos- sibility that both presidential candidates in the 1900 contest may yet be induced to have their campaigns conducted from the national capital. ** * G. Bie Ravndal. United States consul it Bierut, Syria, has furnished the state tepartment an interesting statement re- garding the receipt of American goo's in Syria. He says his report <ntltl d "Sam- ples of United States Goods Wanted in Syria" lias brought offers of a variety of samples and a great quantity rf corre- spondence. His statement .says: "Messrs. Hummel and Mommaas, man- igers <>! the house of Kr. YV.hner, take much interest In this sample collection, Tiid answer all: letters of inquiry fully itid conscientiously. For their own ac- count they do not intend to handle oth- sr articles than flour and cotton goods. rhey hope to sell at least 1,000 sacks of flour per month when they get fairly started. As to - cotton cloth, they will make a big effort to introduce these stuffs In opposition to Manchester. "Messrs. Sabbae & Fils are the largest reporters to the United Sates in thii country. They send our country wool, licorice root and bitumen to the amount it nearly $1,900,000 per annum. I have suc- ceeded in interesting them in a general irrigation scheme, and, as a result of the report above alluded to, a c impany In Indiana offered to send hero free of ;.harge, as a sample, a complete wind- mill outfit. Messrs. Sabbag & Fils have irdered from the same company a well- irllling plant. We shall look for the.c machines in February, and, if our experi- ments prove successful, Syria will be- come a good market for our well diills, wind mills, pumps, hand tools, etc. Mr. Ibrahim Sabbag will visit the United States this spring, and may become the \u25a0sponsor of other American products. "Russian oil having gradually risen in price during twenty months from 88 c n;s to $1.37 per box (sixty-five pounds), there are hopes or relntroduclng the American product into this market, where, fifteen years ago, American petroleum was sold to the amount of $200,000 to $-30,000 an- nually. A prominent local merchant is at present in cable communication wilh ihe United States on this subject. "Negotiations are being carried on be- tween Mr. Michel Ghalie, of the firm of Pharaon & Co.. and houses at home con- cerning the question of coal. This firm disposes annually of about 100.000 tons of patent fuel (Cardiff briquettes) and Cardiff coal (soft), of which about a fifth is sold in Beirut, while the rest goes to other Syrian ports and to Port Said. Mr. Ghalie informs me that nearly all the coal consumed in the Interior consists of Cardiff briquettes (rectangular pieces of pressed coal and pitch weighing five to eight kilograms each), as they can be carried more safely and without much waste on camels. This patent fuel ut-ed to cost f. o. b. Cardiff 9s to 10s ($2.19 to 52.43) per ton. Last year the price was Increased to 11s to Us ($2.68 to $3.41). and now it is held at 18s to 22s ($4.38 to $5.35). The freight used to average S%s to 10s ($2.07 to $2.43) per ton, but ha 3 gone up to 12s to 14s ($2.92 to $3.41). Coal, Mr. Ghalie says, that has been bought at Cardiff for 11s to 12s per ton is now hardly obtainable at 30s ($7.30), on ac- count of the spreading coal famine in Europe. Cardiff dealers would allow 2V£ per cent discount for cash. American coal companies should quote prices c. i. f. Beirut "Phillipe Turkel & Co. have during the last three months sent in several im- portant orders for American hardware, glassware and beer. "Letayf Bros, ordered a few weeks ago a supply of canned provisions, prepared cereals, and whisky from New York. "Affairs are moving in the right direc- tion and we would make fairly good progress if we had regular direct steam- ers plying between the United States and these ports, calling here once every six or eight weeks." • • * The state department has just re- ceived from W. R. Holloway, United States consul general at St. Petersburg, some very Important Information re- garding the merchant marine in Russia. This report is especially valuable at this time because of the bills now pending in congress which have In view the up- bulldlrigr of the merchant marine in the United Slates. It Is not yet known whether these measures providtng for a subsidy for American ship builders will become a law or not. The report from Gen. Holloway will, however, be of in» terest for future congresses and wilt supply valuable information regarding this important question. Mr. Holloway states that the mer- chant marine of Russia on Jan. 1, 1895, consisted of GO4 steam and 2,294 sailing vessels. The tonnage of these two classes of vessels on the White, Baltic, Caspian. Black and Azof seas, which are inland, Is 261,958.46 and 343,845.77 tons, re- spectively In addition to thl3, tonnage on the exterior seas, of the steam and sailing vessels, is 156,">93.28 and 155.429.7 tons. Of the total tonnage of the mer- chant marine. In the respective seas, the tonnage of the sailing ves?els on the White sea is 81.5 per cent; on the Baltic, 50.5 per cent; on the Caspian, 66.4 per cent, and on the Black and Azof seaa, only W. 7 per cent. The tonnage of the sailing vessels on the exterior seas forms 18.8 per ceitt of- the total tonnage of all the vessel* and, including the Caspian sea. 56.8 per cent. In the tonnage of the merchant marine the Caspian sea occu- pies the first place, the sailing fleet ex- ceeding in tonnage that of all the ex- terior seas; the steam tonnage on tho Caspian s<a comes next to the Black and AsoJC ge&fi and is largely in excess of that i.f the White and Baltic seas. The total value of steamers on Jan. 1. 1598, amounted to $4!,6i2,0(W, agaiu3t W,- THE ST. PAUL GLOBi;, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1900. SMART SHORT STORIES. 101,000 in the preceding year. In point of value the fleet ranks in the following or- der: Black and Aaof, Caspian, Baltic and White.

Sixty-one per cent of the entire fleet j of 2,^55 vessels has a tonnage less than mo tons, I*> per cent has from 100 to 200 tons, and on \ I'll vessels have a tonnage exceeding 509 tons, chiefly on the Casp'ai* sea. The value of the sailing Beet Increased in 1M!)7. through the addition of new ves- sels, $35*1.7H8. During thi: same year vessels were destroyed and sold to the amount of $1!>2,650. On Jan. 1, 189S, the commercial Bailing Beet of Russia was estimated at $7.'J2'J,OIK. The fleet of the Caspian sea, which has several large vessels for transporting naphtha, la the most valuable; then follows that of the Baltic : Black and Azof in their or- der. Most of the sailing vessels of the Russian merchant marine are built in Russia. The merchant marine is controlled by two departments, belonging to the minis, try of finances, viz., council of the affairs of the merchant marine and the depart* ment of commercial navigation, whose officers study merchant marine service of the leading nations and advise with associations and persons interested In tho Russian merchant marine service. The Chamber of , Commerce and like associations are represented in the coun- cil of the affairs of the merchant marine by delegates selected for that purpose. —J. S. Van Antwerp. PICTURE OF A KISS. <\u25a0. W. Hucliuiauu Kt';ncial»cfe«l »a>« Spent in the Philippine*. At a little smoker given in the Brook- lyn Navy yard, Friday night, March IG, a quartette of the Jaekies sang a song writ- ten and composed by Charles W. J3ach- mann and dedicated to Capt. W. H. Mc- Kelvey, with whom Mr. Bachmann spent half a year in the Philippines. Capt. Mc- Kelvey is a St. Cloud man and command- ed Company M, Thirteenth Minnesota. It is called "The Picture of a Kiss," and the first two verses are as follows: In the closing evening twilight, in a lit- tle country town, Stood a weather beaten cottage, with its shutters fastened down, Within there sat a mother, in the rapid gath'rinff gloom, A nrtJutai auu a child, in a dark and cheerless room, On a table lay a letter to a dear one far away, A husband and a father, whom they ne er again might see, She wrote him of the loneliness his ab- sence long had made, She wrote him for his little ehlid, and this is what she said: CHORUS. I cannot write dear papa, so mamma writes this for me, We miss you, dearest papa, come back from o'er the sea. Just kiss thta bict that here you see, It's circled round like this, Mamma and 1 have kissed it. too, 'tis the picture of a kiss. In the trenches near Manila, waiting for the morning light, Lay the soldiers of our Union, watching, eager for the fight. Well they knew that with the dawning would the bugle sound advance, While ev'ry bravo man In the trenches felt that life hung by a chance. Shrilly then the bugle sounded, ev'ry man stood at his post. Now the smoke of battle clearing, many number with the lost. With his comrades bending o'er him, cold and stark, a brave man lay. To his llpa he pressed a letter, list to what it had to say: A certain amount of freshness Is nat- ural and desirable In youth, but there Is a young man in social Washington, says the Post, who 13 offensively and Incura- bly fresh. One day I-ast week, however, he had a setback which to moat persons would have been ample for all purposes. He was at tea and had been presented to a young woman from Ohio, who be- lieves in heroic treatment of desperate cases, which Bhe very soon perceived his to be. In the course of the conversation she suggested that something might be learned from his past. "Oh," he said, "I am the heir of all the ages in the foremost files of time, and I can't waste my precious moments looking back, like Lot's wife." "At least," she responded, with a sweet insinuation, "the result in the case of Lot's wife couM scarcely be possible In your 3." "I don't quite understand," he said, groping for her meaning. "Don't you remember she was turned into a pillar of salt?" He understood it then, for a wonder, and somehow afterward the conversation lost interest for him. \u2666 • \u2666 In the Plymouth congregation, during Henry Ward Beecher's pastorate, there was at one time a woman who had a harsh voice and a stiff manner of speak- ing, and her long-drawn-out, dv.l dis- courses wearied the congregation. At last Mr. Beecher, too, reached the limit of en- durance, and one evening, when she sat down, after talking nearly half an hour, he arose, and in deep tones said, slow- ly: "Nevertheless, 1 still believe in women speaking In meeting." She spoke no more. \u2666 * • The late Archbishop of York (Dr. Ma- gee) made an eloquent speech In the house of lords in opposilton to Gladstone's bill for the disestablishment of the Irish church. Incidentally he said that he "could not regard It as consistent with the salvation of his immoratal soul to vote for the bill." A moment later, one peer who was coming into the house inquired of another who was going out: "Who la on his feet now?"' The outgoing peer. who stammered, replied: "Archbishop M-M-Magee is t-t-talklng against the d-d-d-dlsestabllshment of the Irish church." "What does he aay?" "He says he'll be d-d-d dlf he votes for the bill." _— m WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING. Absolute Military Despotism. Indianapolis Sentinel.

FARM SCHOOL GRADUATES. They Had Tfcelr Comtten««menl at Ml. Asiihonv t'urU. The commencement exercises of the State School .if Agriculture were beid yes- terday at'tv moon at ilie experiment sta- tion in St. Anthony J'.nk. The -iass of 1900, which is the eleventh :<> be gradu- ated from the school. Is the largest m r,ie history or the Institution. The exercises were opened by prayer i>y the Rhv. F. M. Rule. Miss Mary L. Mat- thews, of Cambridge, iml.. delivered the j naititatorian address, and spoke v, i>'iia!f | of forestrjr. The next speaker w.ts Ralph Ho&gland, of Waysata, whose subject was •'State! Control of Bovine Tuberculosis." After j dwelling for sonip time upon the dangers to both man and beast uf the dreaded dis.?aso, the speaker went on to advocate some remedies which he beli-ived would tend to check its spread. Rell^r could be liad, he thought, by the us<- of 'he tuber- culin test if it were administered by com- petent veterinarians, and state Ihws were enacted imposing a rigid quarantine upon affected cattle. Attention was called to the fact that In the past year 5 per cent of the cattle tested had been found to be effected with tuberculosis. It was alao necessary that the state legislature should rake some steps to prevent Minnesota from becoming the dumping ground of the diseased cattle of the neighboring states. On the point of the stato compensating for cattle that were compelled to be killed, it was contended that the experience of other states showed that the best rtsui'ts were obalned where the state bore part of the loss. "Weeds" was the unpoetlc title of the address of Clarence E. King, of Wash- ington. Adoplh Mueller, of Mankato, chose for his subject "Contagious Diseases of Plants." Victor Sandberg, of Albert Lea, urged the farmers to improve their dairy herds, 03 the average Minnesota cow was pro- ducing but 150 pounds of butter per year, whereas she ought to be producing from 250 to 300 pounds. Justus Ueland, of Edgerly, N. D., dipped into the future and gave his idea on "The Successful Farmer of the Twentieth Cen- tury." Miss Clara L. Wichstrom. of Oak Grove, in a paper entitled "The Coßt of Living," advocated the adoption of the community plan of living as offering the best solution of the problem. The last speaker was Fred Ward, of Buffalo, who preceded the valedictorian address by a short paper on "Habit." President Northrop then conferred the diplomas upon the graduates, after which benediction was pronounced by Rev. E. S. Pressy.

St. Louis Republic: "The keys of the piano were very grimy. It was a pe- culiar grime that was upon them t and I examined it. It consisted of blood and cigarette ashes. Later I saw that Pader- ewskl's fingers were positively raw at the ends from his almost constant work at the piano. I also saw that he was an inveterate cigarette smoker, and that all the fingers on both his hands were covered with the yellow stains that char- acterize the fingers of a cigarette smoker. "When Paderewski and Mr. Mayer had completed their business they returned to the study. I told Paderewski I was from St. Louis, and he began to ask me of some of the gentlemen he had met dur- ing his two visits to this city. I men- tioned Prof. Kunkel and Prof. Robyn. both of whom he remembered very well. Then I mentioned the fact that Prof. Robyn's 'Answer' was my favorite song. " 'I do not remember it," he said. "I whistled a bar or two of the song and Paderewski turned to thg piano. " 'Oh, yes, I remember it now,' he said. 'This is the way it goes.' "And he played It from start to finish. He played it aa I have never heard it played before nor since. He played it with Paderewski touches that made it Immeasurably sweeter than anything I had ever heard. " 'It is a very pretty thing,' he said, when he had finished. "Then he went to a desk near by and took a huge roll of cigarettes that had been made especially far him in Russia and handed them to me. "Givo these to Robyn with my compli- ments, if you will.' he said. 'I think may- bo he will like them.' "And I will say for Prof. Robyn that he did like them. He seemed to enjoy them as much as Paderewski had seemed to enjoy playing 'Answer' for me." Biff Claim for Injuries. Joseph A.
