The organ committee has succeeded in raising quite a handsome sum of money already, and the prospects are good for a new organ In the near future. "GENTLEMEN OF THE PEESS" Churned This Morning THE CRESCENT CREAMERY CO. 618-620 Hennepin Avenue BOTH PHONES 610. Governor Van Sant to Address Chicago Press Clubs and Guests Sept. 12. Governor Van Sant has been asked to speak at the dinner to be given Sept. 12 by the Chicago Press club to the news- paper men of the west. It will come at the close of a day's outing, and will be served in the Press club rooms to 250 guests. Other speakers -will be George H. Peck, former governor of Wisconsin and well known humorist, and Senator Fair- banks of Indiana. The queerness of Chinese customs and the embarrassment of popularity in the flowery kingdom was illustrated forcibly by incidents connected with the marriage In Tung Cho of Miss Elizabeth Sheffield, niece of Rev. J. S. Sherrill of Minne- apolis and daughter of a missionary. It also incidentally throws a good deal of light on the relations existing between many of the missionaries of standing and the Chinese officials. It is the custom in China to regard a visit made without invitation and especial- ly on the occasion of some social festiv- ity as a greater honor than the attendance of Invited, guests; to come unsolicited Is a great social concession. The bride's mother in writing to home friends said that the problem that kept her awake nights was trying to keep from being swamped by their Chinese friends and especially the officials. "Hobnobbing with royalty," she wrote, "has its terrors." By explaining their position to some of their native friends early, they succeeded in diverting the horde most to be expected. General Ma, however, got wind of the wedding and sent his interpreter to say that he was coming—must come to give his congratulations. As the general is commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, that meant an escort of 100 soldiers and his body guard. This contretemps was only averted by Dr. Sheffield's earnest protestations of his unworthiness to re- ceive such an honor and the diplomatic aid of the interpreter who understood something of foreign customs. Finally, the general contented himself by sending the Interpreter as his representative with two rolls of white silk, two fans, two em- broidered handkerchiefs and two bottles of perfumery. The next honor was even more terrify- ing and troublesome. Thru a Chinese friend, a duchess, who is a niece of the empress, the latter was Informed of the wedding plans. The dowager empress promptly sent the bride-elect a set of truly imperial gifts, four rolls of silk, light blue, dark blue, pink and olive green, in a beautiful glass case; two boxes of per- fume bags, a box of Ave embroidered scarfs, a toilet case of red lacquer; and what the Chinese consider the crowning feature of all, a fan painted by her majesty—a very dainty flower piece with a verse of poetry and the imperial seal. The empress requested to know the date of the wedding In order that she might send an official to represent her. There was nothing to do about this but to hope that the duchess would be the chosen one, for as Mrs. Sheffield said: "She has much common sense and knows how to make herself at home with us. This proved to be the solution and she sent us word a few days before the wedding that the dowager empress had commanded her to attend so as to tell her all about it." The bride had come to the notice of the empress by acting as interpreter for Mrs. Conger, wife of the United States ambassador, at some social functions. During the siege Miss Sheffield helped to care for the sick and woAnded In Peking and has since resumed her mission and school work there. After the siege, the house of the duchess was occupied first by soldiers afterwards assigned to some missionaries, among them Dr. Sheffield. When the owners returned to Peking they were pleased to find their house ^in such good hands, and the duches has been very friendly ever since with the family. Miss Sheffield became the bride of Rev. Wil- liam B. Steele. HE ASKS QUESTIONS How Senator Knute Nelson Went Right After Information in Alaska. He Rode Over Rough Trails and Enjoyed Pot Luck With Miners. y/*~w^ YOUR.

Under date of July 20, Bert Bryant, an Alaskan, writes to his sister in Minneapolis to tell how Knute Nelson is seeing things— everything there is—in Alaska, on his trip with other United States senators. Mr. Bry- ant tells his story thus: "We've been thru the hills looking for a reported strike. Reached Eagle 3 a. m. and found the Big Guns here—U. S. senators sent as a committee to look into conditions and see what we need in this country. Knute Nelson was the lively man. He went all over town, looked Into every man's cabin, took a rowboat and went across the river to see the big garden kept by Indians. He asked more questions than any man I ever saw. "Next day I took him up American Creek with U. S. Commissioner Johansen and two army officers to Green' Camp. They had Just commenced to work their hydraulic ma- chinery, and were doing good business. "The senator seemed much pleased and sur- prised at the development of the country under the conditions. "From the top of a mountain over which we passed, I showed him all the points of interest, talking roads and trails at the same time. Every one he met talked roads and trails and amendments to mining laws. "Nelson ate a good dinner of pork and beans like a true westerner, and thought It curious the others did not . He rode our big black horse twenty-five miles and that is an awful big day in this country with mud knee deep two-thirds of the way; never af- fected him a bit except to make him a little stiff next morning. "I hope we'll get an appropriation when congress meets again." NOT UP TO SCRATCH Eleven National Guard Companies in Danger of Being Mus- tered Out. W J HOUSEFURNISHINGS BY MAIL.

Private Secretary George P. Douglas received a leter this morning from Mayor J. C. Haynes, who is still enjoying him- self on Block Island, off the coast of Rhode Island. The latter contained a copy of the Block Island Wireless, one of the two daily papers In the world receiving all its news by wireless telegraphy. The Wire- less gives Mayor Haynes a long personal notice and speaks of his succession to Mayor A. A. Ames and refers to his honor as one of the distinguished visitors on Block Island. Editorially the mayor la spoken of as one of the two prominent democrats visiting the island, the other being Bird S. Coler of New York, The acme of T h e Journal's offerings of excursions and; { the lajft for.,the season is that announced for'...tp-mbrrojw.. It will include a 226-mile, ride by boat and rail to Winona and return, thru : the most pic- turesque part of the state. The statement of the schedule and itinerary is enough to convince anyone who has heard of the famed beauties of the upper Mississippi. This is it: Leave the Milwaukee railroad station at 8 a. m. for a 51-mile ride without stops to Red Wing; at Red Wing take the steamer J. J. Hill and barge for a ride down the river thiMi sparkling Lake Pepin to Winona; from Winona take a train at 6:50 p. m. lor an evening thru run to Minneapolis along the banks of the Father of Waters. The stay at Winona will be one of delight, for Winona's mayor and hospitable citizens are planning to show the visitors the beauties of their city in the manner of tnue hosts, and Winona is a city of great beauty. It is famed for its parks, and in one of these The Journal Newsboys' band will give one of their high-class entertainments. The boat ride down the river and thru the beautiful Lake Pepin will be sixty-two miles in length. There is not a finer stretch ot inland water in the west. Along the way there are beautiful wooded hills and vistas of lowland as charming to the eyes as any in the country This trip, made under the most favorable circumstances, is one sure to attract many. But the number to be taken is limited, so that those who wish to go will "have to hurry." .' ABSORB IOWA COMPANY Results of the government inspection of the Minnesota National Guard by Captain Dyer, of the regular army, have not been given to tbe public. The inspection wasVnade prior to the summer encampment, and the figures have been in the hands of Adjutant General Libbey for several weeks. It is understood that eleven companies of the guard fell below 65 per cent in their markings, and under the law this means that they should be mustered out. This is a very poor showing, and means either that the com- panies so marked were sadly run down, or that the inspector marked too rigidly and too closely. Under the state law, unless a company reaches the standard of 65, it must be dropped from the rolls. These markings are transmitted to Wash- ington, as the inspection of the National Guard Is now made under the terms of the new National Guard law. The unfortunate thing about the poor showing made is that the state is now getting its quota of supplies from the government under that law, and the distribution is made on the basis of the number of men in the service. That number has already been determined, and the Inspec- tion results may make no change, especially if the authorities delay action. While the exact figures of the inspection cannot be obtained from the adjutant general, it is understood that none of the twin city companies fell below the mark, and that the nine companies of the First regiment are among the first ten'ta - the percentage column. The other one" among the first ten is under- stood to be the engineer company. SUICIDE AT SNELLING Sergeant Leclalr of the Hospital Corps Takes Morphine and Ends Life. Sergeant Albert B. Leclair of the hospi- tal corps, stationed at Fort Snelling, com- mitted suicide early yesterday moraing.by taking morphine. Disappointment in love is assigned as the reason. Little is known of Leclair as a civilian. His enlistment papers bore the name of a man named Sampson, a resident of North St. Paul, but no trace of Sampson can be found.

' Stuart De Mars Wins a Contest and Now Has a Lot for Sale. Stuart De Mars, a 14-year-old Minneapolis boy living at 614 Eighth street S, is the owner of the corner lot. He won it in a prize, contest that he read about the other day while he was killing time and mosquitoes in the country. It was one of those intellecutal struggles by which the strugglers are per- mitted to discover some hundreds of thou- sands of common words in the name of a cigar, a medicine or ap atent food. Stuart forgot bis ingenious meditations until he was- informed last week that he had won "the capital prize." He then consulted a real estate agent, learned that it isn't necessary to know the maximum value of a lot in order to sell it at the maximum profit, and at once inserted in a local newspaner the following advertisement: „-,•,,., ^ * ^ "FOR SALE—Fine building lot located at a popular summer resort."

In accordance with its usual policy of , keeping up to date in all matters, The Journal has just replaced all its other typewriting machines with twenty-two Underwood Standard Typewriters. This machine represents the highest point of perfection in typewriter construction, its writing being absolutely in sight of the operator at all times, thus' effecting a vast saving of time and labor. Another feature which Influenced The Journal in adopting this machine was its great sim- plicity, having nearly nine hundred less parts than any other standard make. Sim- pler construction necessarily means great- er durability. LOST HIS EYELIDS Peculiar Loss to a Man Who Jumped From a Moving Street "> Car.

Governor Van Sant to Address Chicago Press Clubs and Guests

Sept. 12. Governor Van Sant has been asked to

speak a t the dinner to be given Sept. 12 by the Chicago Press club to the news­paper men of the west . It will come a t the close of a day's outing, and will be served in the Press club rooms to 250 guests . Other speakers -will be George H. Peck, former governor of Wisconsin and well known humorist, and Senator Fair­banks of Indiana.

The queerness of Chinese customs and the embarrassment of popularity in the flowery kingdom w a s illustrated forcibly by incidents connected wi th the marriage In Tung Cho of Miss Elizabeth Sheffield, niece of Rev. J. S. Sherrill of Minne­apolis and daughter of a missionary. It also incidentally throws a good deal of l ight on the relations exis t ing between many of the missionaries of standing and the Chinese officials.

It is the custom in China to regard a visit made without invitation and especial­ly on the occasion of some social f e s t iv ­ity as a greater honor than the attendance of Invited, guests ; to come unsolicited Is a great social concession. The bride's mother in writ ing to home friends said that the problem that kept her awake nights was trying to keep from being swamped by their Chinese friends and especially the officials.

"Hobnobbing wi th royalty," she wrote, "has its terrors." B y explaining their position to some of their native friends early, they succeeded in diverting the horde most to be expected.

General Ma, however, got wind of the wedding and sent his interpreter to say that he w a s coming—must come to g ive his congratulations. As the general is commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, that meant an escort of 100 soldiers and his body guard. This contretemps w a s only averted by Dr. Sheffield's earnes t protestations of his unworthiness to re­ceive such an honor and the diplomatic aid of the interpreter who understood something of foreign customs. Finally, the general contented himself by sending the Interpreter a s h is representative wi th two rolls of whi te silk, two fans, two e m ­broidered handkerchiefs and two bott les of perfumery.

The next honor w a s even more terrify­ing and troublesome. Thru a Chinese friend, a duchess, w h o is a niece of the empress, the latter w a s Informed of the wedding plans. The dowager empress promptly sent the bride-elect a set of truly imperial gifts, four rolls of silk, l ight blue, dark blue, pink and olive green, in a beautiful glass case; two boxes of per­fume bags, a box of Ave embroidered scarfs, a toilet case of red lacquer; and what the Chinese consider the crowning feature of all, a fan painted by her majesty—a very dainty flower piece wi th a verse of poetry and the imperial seal. The empress requested to know the date of the wedding In order that she might send an official to represent her. There w a s nothing to do about this but to hope that the duchess would be the chosen one, for a s Mrs. Sheffield said: "She has much common sense and knows how to make herself at home w i t h us . This proved to be the solution and she sent us word a few days before the wedding that the dowager empress had commanded her to attend so as to tell her all about it."

The bride had come to the notice of the empress by act ing as interpreter for Mrs. Conger, wife of the United States ambassador, a t some social functions. During the siege Miss Sheffield helped to care for the sick and woAnded In Peking and has since resumed her mission and school work there. After the siege, the house of the duchess w a s occupied first by soldiers afterwards ass igned to some missionaries, among them Dr. Sheffield. W h e n the owners returned to Peking they were pleased to find their house ^in such good hands, and the duches has been very friendly ever since wi th the family. Miss Sheffield became the bride of Rev. Wi l ­liam B. Steele.

THRO LAKE PEPIN So-morrow's Excursion the Last of

Journal Series for This Season.

Under date of July 20, Bert Bryant, an Alaskan, writes to his sister in Minneapolis to tell how Knute Nelson is seeing things— everything there is—in Alaska, on his trip with other United States senators. Mr. Bry­ant tells his story thus:

"We've been thru the hills looking for a reported strike. Reached Eagle 3 a. m. and found the Big Guns here—U. S. senators sent as a committee to look into conditions and see what we need in this country. Knute Nelson was the lively man. He went all over town, looked Into every man's cabin, took a rowboat and went across the river to see the big garden kept by Indians. He asked more questions than any man I ever saw.

"Next day I took him up American Creek with U. S. Commissioner Johansen and two army officers to Green' Camp. They had Just commenced to work their hydraulic ma­chinery, and were doing good business.

"The senator seemed much pleased and sur­prised at the development of the country under the conditions.

"From the top of a mountain over which we passed, I showed him all the points of interest, talking roads and trails at the same time. Every one he met talked roads and trails and amendments to mining laws.

"Nelson ate a good dinner of pork and beans like a true westerner, and thought It curious the others did not . He rode our big black horse twenty-five miles and that is an awful big day in this country with mud knee deep two-thirds of the way; never af­fected him a bit except to make him a little stiff next morning.

"I hope we'll get an appropriation when congress meets again."

"DISTINGUISHED VISITOR"

May or Haynes Written Up in Block Island Wireless.

Private Secretary George P. Douglas received a leter this morning from Mayor J. C. Haynes , who is still enjoying h im­self on Block Island, off the coast of Rhode Island. The latter contained a copy of the Block Island Wireless , one of the t w o daily papers In the world receiving all its n e w s by wireless telegraphy.

The acme of T h e J o u r n a l ' s offerings of excursions and;{the lajft for.,the season is that announced for'...tp-mbrrojw.. It will include a 226-mile, ride by boat and rail to Winona and return, thru: the most pic­turesque part of the state. The statement of the schedule and itinerary is enough to convince anyone who has heard of the famed beauties of the upper Mississippi. This is it:

Leave the Milwaukee railroad station at 8 a. m. for a 51-mile ride without stops to Red Wing; at Red Wing take the steamer J. J. Hill and barge for a ride down the river thiMi sparkling Lake Pepin to Winona; from Winona take a train at 6:50 p. m. lor an evening thru run to Minneapolis along the banks of the Father of Waters.

The stay at Winona will be one of delight, for Winona's mayor and hospitable citizens are planning to show the visitors the beauties of their city in the manner of tnue hosts, and Winona is a city of great beauty. It is famed for its parks, and in one of these The Journal Newsboys' band will give one of their high-class entertainments.

The boat ride down the river and thru the beautiful Lake Pepin will be sixty-two miles in length. There is not a finer stretch ot inland water in the west. Along the way there are beautiful wooded hills and vistas of lowland as charming to the eyes as any in the country

This trip, made under the most favorable circumstances, is one sure to attract many. But the number to be taken is limited, so that those who wish to go will "have to hurry." .'

ABSORB IOWA COMPANY

Results of the government inspection of the Minnesota National Guard by Captain Dyer, of the regular army, have not been given to tbe public. The inspection wasVnade prior to the summer encampment, and the figures have been in the hands of Adjutant General Libbey for several weeks.

It is understood that eleven companies of the guard fell below 65 per cent in their markings, and under the law this means that they should be mustered out. This is a very poor showing, and means either that the com­panies so marked were sadly run down, or that the inspector marked too rigidly and too closely. Under the state law, unless a company reaches the standard of 65, it must be dropped from the rolls.

These markings are transmitted to Wash­ington, as the inspection of the National Guard Is now made under the terms of the new National Guard law. The unfortunate thing about the poor showing made is that the state is now getting its quota of supplies from the government under that law, and the distribution is made on the basis of the number of men in the service. That number has already been determined, and the Inspec­tion results may make no change, especially if the authorities delay action.

While the exact figures of the inspection cannot be obtained from the adjutant general, it is understood that none of the twin city companies fell below the mark, and that the nine companies of the First regiment are among the first ten'ta -the percentage column. The other one" among the first ten is under­stood to be the engineer company.

A Modern Equipment. In accordance wi th its usual policy of ,

keeping up to date in all matters, The Journal has jus t replaced all its other typewriting machines with twenty- two Underwood Standard Typewriters. This machine represents the highest point of perfection in typewriter construction, its writ ing being absolutely in s ight of the operator a t all t imes, thus' effecting a vas t sav ing of t ime and labor. Another feature which Influenced The Journal in adopting this machine w a s its great s im­plicity, having nearly nine hundred less parts than any other standard make.
