WOMAN TO WOMEN

A Few Vnlnnlile Hints From Mrs.

Annie Jenness Miller.

"Iam a woman, therefore Ican un-derstand women."

This expression was made by SarahBernhardt, the world famed actress,after creating a part in which the com-plex nature of woman was speciallyportrayed. Mme. Bernhardt picturedthe character true to life and her re-mark was in answer to a complimen-tary expression after her pronouncedsuccess.

The expression was true. Women dour.dt istand other women and theirpleasures and troubles. They knowwhat they need. Mrs. Annie JennessMiller began this study early in lifeand has continued it ever since. SheInvestigated the subject of appearanceand the result was her book "PhysicalBeauty and How to Obtain It." Shestudied the subject of dressing and hasdone much to aid women in this im-portant and delightful art. She studied i

the subject of Women's Physical |Health, and as a result discovered what|she believes to be the proper means of iconstantly preserving it. In writingupon this subject, she said:

"It gives me pleasure to express my jfaith in the virtues of a well known !discovery which is the only medicine Ijever take or recommend. Six years !ago Ireceived the most pronounced |ber; (fit from its use at a time when IBuffering from mental overwork, and Ihave subsequently in my travels as a Ipublic lecturer recommended it tomany people and personally know ofpe-veral cases where It has succeeded !when the doctors failed. This discov- jcry is Warner's Safe Cure.

"AlthoughIam now a perfectly well jwoman, 1 take several bottles of Safe jCure every spring, believing In the jounce of prevention rather than the |necessity for the pound of cure, andln every instance Safe Cure has theeffect to give new energy and vitalityto all my powers."

Mrs. Miller's experience has beenproved true in millions of other in- jstances of women who were suffering jand unhappy and who by means ofthis standard discovery are now In thepossession of perfect health and arekept so by a continued use of thisgrand preparation.

No one was passing the spot at the timethe accident occurred, but Francis L. Winchstood at the mail box, less than three feetaway.

The ceiling is held in place by wires whichare mortised in with plaster par's, and itls supposed the wire in one of the piecesrusted off and this carried the other fivepieces down.

ITS AIMS ARE PRACTICAL

COLLEGE AND A HOSPITAL SWED-ISH LUTHERANS' WORRIES

New Professorships Are Created atGn-tavm Adolphus College Be-thesda Hospital Makes Its Reportof the Work It Has Done Since aYear Ago—Directors Chosen.

The Swedish Lutheran conferenceput in a day of hard work yesterday.

The first matter taken up was theappointment of professors to vacantchairs at Gustavus Adolphus college.President Wahlstrom announced thatA. C. Carlson, Instructor in English,had declared his intention of resigningunless he could be made a full pro-fessor. It was decided to leave thechair vacant. I. M. Anderson was

| made professor of Greek, and EdwardJ. Edquist, Instructor in natural his-itory, was also promoted to a profes-lsorship.

On the first vote for new directors,L.P. Bergstrom, of Winthrop, was theonly nominee to pull through.

For the four vacancies in the boardof directors of the Gustavus Adolphuscollege the following were put in nom-ination: From the clergy, Rev. L. P.Bergstrom (elected), J. T. Kjellgren,Scandia; F. M. Eckman, Center City;L. A. Johnson, St. Paul; A. J. Ryden,Buffalo; from the laymen. Dr. A. Lind,Minneapolis; L. Erickson, St. Paul;Otto Walmark, Chisago; J. W. Peter-son, Vasa; P. A. Peterson, C. G.Sehultz, N. R. Nelson.

The annual report as to the Bethesdahospital, in St. Paul, was presented bySupt. C. A. Hultkrans. The institutionhad paid off $2,548.68 of its debt duringthe past year, leaving the present In-debtedness of the hospital $28,151.65.The directors' report urged the con-gregations to contribute more syste-matically.

The Institution had served 650 pa-tients the past year, 344 of whom wereof Swedish nationality, and 247 Nor-wegians. Of these 508 were Lutherans,the others being scattered among theReformed and Catholic churches.There were fifty-three patients in theinstitution Feb. 1. C. A. Johnson, ofSt. Paul, had been appointed by theboard to fill the vacancy in its mem-bership caused by the resignation ofAndrew Nelson. Four new directorsare to be chosen by the present con-ference.

The offer of a donation of shares inthe Johnson Mining company arousedan excited discussion.

Several of the delegates thought thatthe church must keep clear from a.lspeculations in mining stock and op.posed running any risk that miehtcome from the acceptance of these5,000 shares.

The committee on the president's ad-dress recommended that th<=- fortiethanniversary of tbe founTi-g of the Min-liesote conference be celebrated nextOctober, by a meeting of the confer-

BISMARCK'S POST IS AGO

AT LEAST THATIS THE OPINION OF

P. E. BYRNE, OP THAT CITY

Senator HanshronKh's Bill Llkelyto Pass Both Houses of Congress

Visitors nt St. Panl HostelriesSeem Inspired hy Returning Pros-perity England and Klondike.

P. E. Byrne, of Bismarck, was in thecity yesterday. Mr. Byrne has beenengaged in the banking business theresince 1881.

In discussing the bill recently Intro-duced in congress by Senator Hans-brough, providing for the establishmentof a military post at Bismarck, he said:

"Yes, Ithink the measure is in afair way to pass, as the matter wasonce decided upon before, but thechange in administration seems to haveupset the plans.

"During the last congress a bill waspassed which carried with it an ap-propriation for $40,000. The militarycommittee picked out a site a few milesout of Bismarck. The site was a mostdesirable one and was a very strategicpoint. Itseemed to be the best placefor the new post.

"The citizens, whose efforts werelargely responsible for the action ofcongress, were C. B. Little and I. P.Baker.

"About the last thing Secretary La-mont did when he gave up his portfoliowas to accept the site picked out by thecommittee.

"When Gen. Alger took office he re-scinded the action of his predecessor,and the matter dragged along for "sometime. The money which had been ap-propriated reverted back into the treas-ury.

"The nearest military post is atStanding Rock, 560 miles south of B.s-marck.

"1 never saw so much money in theDakotas before. Everybody seems tohave a bank account. The farmers arc-reaping the first fruits of the returnsfor their new venture in diversifiedfarming.

C. E. bennett, of London, England,was a. guest at the Ryan yesterday.Mr. Bennett is interested in variousmining properties in Montana. He ison his way to Butte, where he willremain for some time.

He said: "There is not much Englishcapital being invested in the Klondikecountry, although many people areleaving, and large parties are being

ence at Chisago lake, If agreeable tothe church there.

Ac to the question whether the chil-dren of non-Lutheran parents shouldbe admitted to the church confirma-tion school, and confirmation ln thechurch, the committee state that thesechildren, being baptized members ofthe church, were entitled to all therights as to confirmation, etc., whichwere granted to the children of Luth-eran parents.

The report calls attention to the con-stitution! of the church and resolu-tions of the synod, which forbid Luth-erans to become members of secret so-cieties that deny the Trinity and Christ.Itstates that the committee considersleniency in this matter to be danger-ous to the welfare of the church.

Dr. Maren reported a church at Bag-field, Wis., which had elected one of itsown members minister, and asked thatsome action be taken. The matter wasreferred to a committee of three madeup of Rev. L. G. Almen, Rev. J. A.Krantz and Rev. L. P. Bergstrom.

Attorney A. J. Jackson and L. A.Johnson, both of St. Paul, were elect-ed a committee to audit the accountsof the Bethesda hospital.

The business session of the afternoonadjourned while the balloting was go-ing on for four directors of the boardof directors of the hospital board, andit was continued until this morning.

The evening was devoted to listeningto a paper by Dr. E. Narelius, on"Chuich Societies. Their Good orEvil."

The reading of the paper was fol-lowed by general discussion, whichwas participated in by Rev. L. J. Lun-quist, Rev. C. J. Petri, Rev. F. M. Eck-lund and Rev. C. B. L. Boman. Thegeneral sentiment favored church so-ciety work when it was in keepingwith proper church work and conduct-ed under the direction of the pastorand the church council. Bazars andthe like conducted by the societieswere not favored under any circum-stances. After the close of the generaldiscussion Rev. G. Peterson, of RushCity, delivered the closing prayer.

The programme for today will be thifinishing of the election of the fourhospital directors, which will be fol-lowed by the discussion of the newconstitution for the government of thehcspital. This willoccupy the morningsession.

At 2 p. m.. Rev. A. Mattson, of War-ren, will deliver a sermon on the "Re-lations Existing Between Christiansand Unbelievers." At 3p. m. the busi-ness session will be resumed and wiilbe occupied listening to the report ofthe finance committee on the numer-ous petitions received from churchesasking to be relieved from tbeir assess-ment. These are mostly from churchesof the smaller congregations. This willconsume all of the afternoon businesssession.

Rev. J. A. Nyvall will read a paperin the evening on the "Advantages ofBeing a Member of the Church."

President Fremling said last nightthat the conference would last untilMonday, when they would likely beobliged to work until midnight.

organized to go into the country inquest of gold.

"The English capitalists do not seemuch promise in the Klondike coun-try, as their comparatively recent ex-periences with the mining ventures inSouth Africa, Australia and even SouthAmerica has led to a more conserva-tive view of this class of investments.Large sums of money are no longer be-ing invested by Eastern syndicates onthe excitement of the moment. Thepeople who are leaving England haveno experience whatever in prospecting,and many are going poorly equipped.

"No very large placings of accumu-lated capital are now being made inAmerica.

"No, the Teller resolution does notseem to have created any distrust ofAmerican securities in London. Entireconfidence Is placed up?n American In-vestments by Englishmen who own

!large blocks of American securities.There is no feeling of distrust of Amer-ican holdings."

A. P. McGinnis, of Los Angeles, Cal !claim agent of the Union Pacific, wasat the Ryan yesterday. The frost, Mr.McGinnis says, has done but litiledamage to the orange crop, which is

'now being harvested and shipped East

'in car load lots. The orange groveson the low lands have suffered con- jsiderably, but the largest portion of

'the orange acreage of California, be-ing on the more arid land, there hasbeen little loss experienced by th-growers whose groves are on the lessprotected land, where the wind gets *full sweep.

From present indications this years'crop would average about the same aa !previous years. About 12.000 cars, MrMcGinnis thought, would be shippedout of California.

The new railroad through the SanJoaquin railway had been completedabout IfJO miles. The new road whencompleted would open up a very richfruit growing country.

L. C. Wood, of Chicago, was at theMerchants' yesterday. Mr. Woods isa steel: dealer in Chicago, and is onone of his periodical trips to St PaulHe said: "Itwill be ten or fifteen yearsbefore Montana will furnish exportstock. Not a head of the Montanastock is exported, it being all slaugh-tered and dressccl in Chic ago. Montanastock can be fattened on their highlandgrass to a certain point and after thatthey can go no farther. The otherstates, such as lowa, Nebraska andMinnesota, feed tbeir cattle corn anddo not leave them to rustle for them-selves.

"Minnesota has a great future as astock state because of the acres andacres of excellent pasturage, and thefnvorable and profitable conditions forraising corn.

"Minnesota does not pay enough at-tention to breeding stock. The stockwhich has come from Minnesota of latehas been very poor. A great scarcityof feeders has prevailed in lowa forthe last two years. Much of the Minne-sota stock has been shipped there forfattening, and it has resulted disas-trously to the lowa stock.

"Ifrrore attention wa3 pa:d to breed-ing in Minnesota it would place Minne-sota on a par with any locality in theUnited States as a stock raising state."

William Farrell, another capitalist,was at the Ryan yesterday. Mr. Far-rell hails from British Columbia. Hehas been on a three months' trip toEngland with his family.

Mr. Farrell asserts that Vancouveris the most beautiful city in the world.He says a great amount of Englishcapital has been expended in develop-ing British Columbia, and there ispromise of much more. Several com-panies were being formed while he wasin England.

PURITY THAT IS EDIBLE.All Its Forms Aro Promised at the

Coming: Exhibit In ThisCity.

Yesterday morning the committee ofthe Manufacturers' union and the Com-mercial club called upon a number oflocal manufacturers in regard to plac-ing exhibits in the pure food show tobe held the first twelve days of nextmonth.

The corporation attorney submitted,an opinion to the effect that the boardhad the right to make contracts withthe telephone company for telephoneservice in the d partment.

The Waterous Engine company wasgiven permission to use one of the firehydrants for an engine test.

The Northwestern Fuel companynotified the board that owing to thestrike last summer the company couldnot furnish Youghioghery coal, butwould substitute Reyno'dsville instead.As the contract with the company call-ed for the last mentioned grade ofcoal at a reduced price no objectionwas raised.

ENVELOPES WERE EMPTY.

Testimony Concerning Mrs. Allen'sWill Now Not to Be Found.

Further testimony was taken in the probatecourt yesterday in the matter of the estateot Julia M. Allen. Mr. Butler, representingthe proponents of the alleged will, whichcould not be found after Mrs. Allen's deathlast July, tailed Walter J. Sanborn as anadverse witness for cross examination.

Mr. Sanborn is the husband of Edith San-born, who, in ease no will is established,will Inherit one-half of the entire estate,which amounts to $35.C00. Under the willas it existed three days before Mrs. Allen'sdeath, Mrs. Sanborn was bequeathed $,".,000.

Mr. Sanborn testified concerning conversa-tions he had had with Mrs. Allen regard-ing the disposition of her property. Mrs.Sanborn had told him that Mrs. Allen haddeclared to her very shortly before her deaththat she intended to destroy the will andmake a new one.

Mr. Butler questioned Mr. Sanborn minute-ly about his search for the will In Mrs. Al-len's room shortly after death. Mrs. Allendied about 4 o'clock Sunday morning, July 2--1897. A little later Mr. Sanborn and hiswife had visited the room and searched it.Witness looked into,a small valise belong-ing to Mrs. Allen, not that he expected tofind the will in such a receptacle, but to se-cure a purse and other small trinkets andvaluables before the undertakers and assist-ants arrived.

Mrs. Sanborn, the witness said, had openedin the meantime a secret drawer in thebureau wherein she found some envelopes,one marked "last will and testament of JuliaM. Allen," and the other, "codicil of thelast will and testament of Julia M. Allen."But both envelopes were empty. As MrsSanborn made this discovery, she held up theenvelopes and, to the best of Mr. Sanborn'srecollection, she said:

"Poor auntie has done what she told meshe was going to do; she has destroyed thewill."

About 4 p. m. the case was resumed, JudgeWillrich being occupied after 2 p. ni. withan insane case requiring immediate atten-tion.

Mr. Sanborn took the stand, and Mr. Butlercontinued his examination, questioning thewitness closely concerning his search in Mrs.Allen's room, and his .subsequent "general"search made with Mr. Taylor several dayslater.

The case was then continued until 2 p. m.Monday, and, as M. L. Countryman, on thepart of Mrs. Sanborn, who opposes the appli-cation for probate, says he has no testimonyto offer, the matter will doubtless be sub-mitted to Judge Willrich after argument.

DULUTH WILL ISSUE

CONSOLIDATED BONDS.

President Hayes In a Circular Tellsof tlie Recommendations of theDirectors of the Road and WhatWill Be Done With the Mono-Raised.

President Hayes, of the St. Paul «*_Duluth Railroad company, has Issueda circular to the stockholders contain-ing the following statements amongothers:

The Stillwater & St. Paul company'sfirst mortgage 7 per cent bonds mature onDec. 1, 1900. There are oustanding $209,---600, against which $16,198 ln cash ls held bythe trustees in the sinking fund. Thereare outstanding $210,000 of the Tavlor'sFalls & Lake Superior Railroad com-pany's first mortgage 6 per cent bonds,maturing Jan. 1, 1914, to meet the paymentof which the trustees have in the sinkingfund 1,360 shares of St. Paul & DuluthRailroad company preferred stock, whichfund ls annually increased by the divi-dends declared on these shares. Thereare also outstanding $500,000 of the DuluthShort Line Railroad company's first mort-gage 5 per cent bonds, maturing Sept. 1,1916. The St. Paul & Duluth companyowns more than 96 per cent of the stockof the branch lines above mentioned.

In the annual report for the year end-ing Dec. 31, 1888, attention was called to anexpenditure for construction, bettermentand equipment from the land and stumpagetrust fund, under resolution of the stock-holders of June 20. 1887. which authorizedthe temporary use of the trust fund for suchpurpose. Subsequently at the stockholders'meeting of June 17, 1889, the directors wereinstructed to take the necessary means torestore this amount to the trust fund. OnDec. 31, 1888, the amount of the land andstumpage trust fund which had been soused was $788,566. During the year endingJune 30, -1892. $97,790 was returned theretofrom the earnings of the company. Thebalance now due said trust fund is $690,776.

In accordance with the laws of theUnited States, the freight equipment is be-ing provided with 'automatic couplers' and'air brakes': the cost has heretofore beencharged to operating expenses, as there isno source other than income from whichsuch expenditures can be made. Itis esti-mated that it will cost $175,000 to finish thiswork, and the law requires that it be com-pleted within two years. Reference hasbeen made in the annual reports of recentyears to the work which has been donein the reduction of grades, the cost ofwhich has also been a charge upon In-come. To complete this work, so that thefull benefit of that which has already beenaccomplished may be received, a furtherestimated expenditure of about $100,000 willbe necessary. The addition of freight carsof the present standard weight to the equip-ment would greatly improve the earningcapacity of the company and its economyof operation.

In view of the foregoing, the directorsrecommend the issuance of $5,000,000 firstmortgage consolidated bonds, bearing a rateof interest not to exceed 5 per cent perannum and covering all the property of thecompany, with the exception of the lands,the land and stumpage contracts and pro-ceeds thereof, to be disposed of as follows:

To be reserved for retiring of maturity:First mortgage 5 per cent bonds, $1,000,000,and second mortgage 5 per cent bonds, $2,---000,000: total, $3,000,000.

To the extent required, $2,000,000, to beused for the retirement of the Stillwater. &St. Paul bonds, the Taylor's Falls & LakeSuperior bonds, and the Duluth Short Linebonds.

The balance Is to be applied to the follow-ing purposes: The restoration to the landand stumpage trust fund of the balancedue; the equipment of freight cars in ac-cordance with "United States law with auto-matic couplers and air brakes; the comple-tion of the reduction of grades on mainline; the purchase of new equipment, andbetterment of the railroad property. It lsexpected to issue these first mortgage con-solidated bonds bearing 4 per cent interest.

The dividends upon the preferred stockare limited to 7 per cent. During the lastthirteen years they have averaged morethan fi per cent, and In no year has lessthan 5 per cent been paid. If the balanceof the money taken from the land andstumpage trust fund, above referred to, hadbeen returned, and a corresponding amountof preferred stock retired, there would havebeen and average saving of $41,446 each, yearin the amount required for the payment ofthe dividend on the outstanding preferredstock. This saving should be contrasted withthe addition to fixed charges of $27,735. Theincreased number of tons which can behauled in trains by completing the gradereductions. It is estimated, will reduce theoperating expenses much more than the in-terest upon the cost of such work.

REDUCED RATES REFUSED.

Roads Waiting Action on the Antl-Scalpins Bill.

CHICAGO. Feb. 11.-The executive commit-tee of the Western Passenger association hasadopted a resolution which may prevent thegranting of reduced rates for some of thelargest gatherings of the year.

Not Afraid of Boycott.

MONTREAL. Feb. 11.-The officials of theCanadian Pacific railroad profess not to beat all afraid of boyco;t by the Western roads.The appeal from Chicago to Vice PresidentShaughnessy has not altered their attitude."Boycotting has been tried before," said afiofficial of the read today, "but it has neveramounted to very much. The Wistern rra.s'officials have been wrestling with the matterfor some weeks, o.nd it has gone from thepassenger agents to the highest authorities.Every time the Canadian Pacific was ask^dto join in conference the same reply wasfonncoming. 'Stop ycur own ra e-cutting a-dthen we will talk to you.' But the rate-cut-ing is still going on."

West-Bonnd Redaction.NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—The board of control

of the Joint Traffic association today adopteda resolution continuing the west-bonnd railand lake rates of 54 cents on first-cla*sfreight to Chocago for one year. On east-bound rates a compromise was agreed towhich will be submitted to the association oflake lines. The proposed reduction is asfollows: First-class, 12 cents, and on flourand grain, 3 cents per 100 pounds.

HAS INVENTED A NOVEL STOVERev. Father Fleinmlns *«"**Success-

fully Conspired Against theCoati 111lruns.

Many of the citizens of St. Paul willdoubtless remember the Rev. FatherFlemming. who, during several years,was identified with the German Cath-. olic church in this city. Father Flem-

j ming is now located at Shakopee, Minn.While here he was a very popular

priest. As an evidence of the warmthI of his nature, he has recently inventeda novel heating stove. Only four havebeen manufactured, and one la In useat Tracy's pinery store, Tenth and

j Bt. Peter streets.It Is in the nature of a hot air ar-

| rangement. The fire-box is square,about two feet high and surrounded

!by a perpendicular cylinder, tin totalhiight being about four feet.

Tubes are located beneath the shields| of the four legs on which the fire-box

rests. Through these tubes, which ex-tend through the fire-box. cold air

I from the floor surface is introduced toia east iron bowl above the coals;| thence, as hot air, it passes through

the open cylinder, as through a chim-| ney, and is disseminated throughouti the apartment.

The draught for the kindling andstrengthening of the flame is entirelyseparate; the smoke is borne to a pipethrough a hollow space surroundingthe cylinder, along with the gases, and:all sulphurous odors are prevented

Ifrom escape.The stove heats rapidly, and, because, of the intensity of the heat thus gen-

erated, insures a saving of about 50per cent of fuel.
