Their action meets with the approval of a large majority of the people.

Slicridan Court No. 51G, C. O. F., has changed its place of meetings from A. O. U. W. hall to Oddfellows' hall, Fourth and Central. Meetings will hereafter be held on the first and third Monday evenings of the month at the new location.

Miss Mary Page was the pianist of an ambitious program in the Holy An­gels' academy Thursday evening of last week. Decorated most artistically witli greens and flowers, statuary and grand pianos, the large and spacious hall, with its appreciative audience, was an inspiration to the young artist and her assisting friends. Miss Page was particularly charming in her selec­tions by Schumann and the Chopin Waltz Poetic, while her rendering of the Groupe Populaire gave every scope for the brilliant technic she possesses. Miss Kellar sang with charming style Hauscom's Lullaby, and Master Pauly, who is well known as one of the Min­neapolis prominent boy sopranos, con­tributed a Mascagni Ave Maria with pleasing effect. The violin solos of

was turned over to a board of trustees, of which Mr. Wyman was treasurer. The fund was placed at interest and Mr. Wyman's report shows that it has amounted to $7,200.38, which tided both families through trying periods. The children, who were babes at the time of the fire, have grown up and are able to care for themselves. Mrs. Miles married again and is now living in Michigan, while Mrs. Igo occupies a good position in the Chicago postof-fice. Mr. Wyman paid the last of the l'uiul to the beneficiaries this week. The final payment amounted to $529.03.

The will of F. B. Richmond, who Friday noon of last week shot and killed Miss Lina Christianson and then took his own life, was filed in the pro-bate court Tuesday afternoon. City Clerk L. A. Lydiard is named as exe­cutor and' administrator, the benefi­ciaries being John II. Steele, Mrs. Ada P. Fuller and Lou Hadley. The sole asset is a life insurance policy for $2,500 on which $200 had been bor­rowed. There is no mention made of property supposed to have been held by Lina Christianson. The will makes provision for the payment of $525 to Judge Steele, $50 to Sampel A. Glid-den, of Bridgeport, Mont.; $100 to Wendell Ilertig. For administration fees is left $200, and $500 is to go to Judge Steele, the remainder of his as­sets is willed to Mrs. Ada P. Fuller, who, according to the will, took care of Richmond's mother and was kind to him. Two clauses in the will show Richmond's state of mind at the time he drew it: "All I care is to get my headaches cured and my side straight­ened out. There are no relatives, all dead and no brothers and sisters. I do not want any inquiry into invest ments or anything of that kind, as I am clean with the world, as to what I owe or any claims against me, except as stated, and all records of invest ments or assets were destroyed a long time ago when not well." The will was executed July 30, 1904, in the pres ence of Maj. Gorman and L. M. Ren-ner.

The remains were taken to his home in Tracy, Minn., that night. Mr. Donovan was well known in St. Paul, especially in Republican political circles. lie had been pro­prietor of the Tracy hotel for many years and belonged to the St. Paul lodge of Elks.

A contest will be filed in a few days demanding a recount of the votes for Oscar Hallam and T. D. O'Brien for judge of the district court, the state canvassing board having officially de­clared that Hallam was elected. The petition demanding the recount will be filed by an elector, Mr. O'Brien having declined to make the contest, and the petition asking for the recount will conform to those filed by defeated can­didates who think that there is reason to believe that they would win if the ballots are recounted.

HlnneapolU Los:s One of its Foremost Irish Pioneers.

Near the hour of 7 o'clock Thursday evening, John Walsh, one of the pio neer Irish settlers, and beloved by all East Side residents, died after week's illness of pleuro-pneumonia at his home, 511 University avenue north east. Mr. Walsh was a native of the county of Cork, Ireland, where he was born 78 years ago. He came to the United States in 1848 and to the town of St. Anthony in 1855. He is survived by a widow, two daughters and eight sons. Of the latter, but one, Captain John F. Walsh, ex-superintendent of the Hennepin county morgue, is a resi­dent of this city, the other sons being engaged in business in the state of Washington. The deceased was a splendid type of manhood, a good citi­zen and a patriotic Irishman as well. His funeral will probably be held on Monday morning from St. Anthony church. In next week's issue of The Irish Standard a complete account of same will be given.

in the institution this year. Coronor Williams has decided that it

will not be necessary to hold an in­quest over the body of M. L. Manley, the conductor who was killed in the Central avenue street car accident Sun­day night. According to all accounts Manley's death was due to careless­ness of himself and Motorman Kibbey. Kibbey, it is said, now maintains that he stopped his car before crossing the railroad track and did not see the train. gent, as the ordinance requires the con­ductors to cross the tracks ahead of the car. Manley's death removes the principal witness in the Columbia Heights murder case, but the Anoka attorneys say that Manley's testimony at the preliminary hearing was taken and can be introduced as evidence. They admit that the evidence will not be as strong as if delivered by Manley.

J. T. Wyman Monday closed the trusteeship of the Igo-Miles fund, which has been in existence since the famous Tribune fire of 1889. Igo and Miles, two Associated Press operators, were killed in the fire, Igo leaving a wife and five children, and Miles a wife and two children, without any provision for their future. The late Col. John T. West threw open the West hotel for a benefit ball shortly afterward for the benefit of the two •widows and their children. The net receipts of the ball were $5,000, which

Tuesday^ and ten days are allowed from that time in which to decide upon the contest. The full period will not be required, as those interested will be able to get together previous to the expiration of the limit, agreeing upon the person in whose name the action is to be brought and through what attorney. Between the time of bring­ing the action and the completion of the recount Oscar Hallam will take office as the succesor of K. A.

the report of the referees that Mr. O'­Brien is elected, there is some conten­tion that-he would be compelled to as­sume the office for a day at least be­fore his successor could be appointed by the Democratic governor. Those who reason to this effect point out that Ilallam will be in the position, bonded and qualified to perform the duties of his position until his successor shall be elected and qualified. On the offi­cial returns, upon which the state board declared Hallam elected, the majority is but fifteen votes. In the informal count held during other-con­tests discrepancies of an important character were discovered, leaving the result in doubt. The recount is there­fore to be undertaken by persons who believe that Mr. Hallam should not be allowed to serve if the actual ballots in the boxes should show that he has not been elected.

Kennedy P. O'Toole, of the royal Chinese customs service, was a visitor in St. Paul for a short time Sunday. In China, which is his native place, he bears the rank of mandarin second class. .During the short time lie was here he was a guest of George D. Rog­ers, city passenger agent of the Bur­lington. Mr. O'Toole was born near Canton in 1872. His father was a British officer who settled in China and- married a high caste Chinese woman in 1805. Maj. O'Toole, his father, became a subject of the Chinese emperor, and for fifteen years had charge of the body guard of the reigning prince. His relations with

army in the present, struggle with Japan, and lie says that there is not the slightest possibility of the Chinese nation interfering in any way with the war. "China has had all she wants of Japan," said he, "and all the talk that has been published about an of­fensive alliance between tiie countries is the veriest bosh. The Chinese have good cause to. remember Japan, as the taxes to pay the indemnity given Ja­pan after the war ten years ago or more arc a constant reminder of the events of that war. The pillaging by the Jiip troops will never be forgotten as long as the Chinese nation exists."

The Catholic society recently organ­ized by the Italians of this city held a special meeting at Minnehaha hall, on W. Ninth street, Sunday afternoon for the purpose of extending a welcome to Count Galileo Vannutelli, of Rome, Italy, who has for the past few days been a guest of Archbishop Ireland. John W. Willis presided fit the meet­ing, which was largely attended. Rev. S. N. Odone, pastor of the Italian Cath­olic church of the Most Iloly Redeem­er, briefly addressed those present and introduced Count Vannutelli, who made a speech of some length and oi great Interest. Count Vannutelli said that he wns very happy to meet men of th" Italian race wherever he went, and that hr> generally received a good account of them. He begged his audi­tors to bear in mind the glory of their native land and to reflect credit there­on by their acts and words. He eulo­gized the Catholic church and advocat­

ed strict adherence to her teachings. America and American institutions were lauded in the language of vigor­ous compliment. At the close of bis speech the count shook hands with all present and gave each member of the society a pleasant greeting. He is wholly devoid of affectation or haugh­tiness and his amiable ways have com­mended liiin to all persons who have ««ad the pleasure of making his ac­quaintance.

A Sanitary L ve Son^.

"We shall not make such progress in respect, to sanitation so long as kiss­ing is indulged in."—American Medi­cal Congress. How canst thou understand, my love

The fervid passion 1 would swear? I dare not touch thy hand, my love,

Nor fondle, as I did, thy hair. I dare not venture nearer, love,

The scientists say, tlmii three feet two,

But distance makes thee dearer, love, To view.

Our forefathers and mothers, love, They kissed (and thrived, ah, well-

a-day) Their sweethearts and their brothers,

love, And microbes caused them no dis­

may, On all the festive dates, my love,

They kissing-ringed promiscuous, Why are so hard the Fates, my love, Onces crosses meant but kisses, love,

But only crosses now remain. Here on the garden grass, my love,

Beside the fount I wait for hours; It gleams—'tis Sanitas, my love,

That showers,

In sanitary days, my love (More sanitary, perhaps, than sane),

Thy worth, thy charm, I praise, ray love,

But all my praises are but vain. The gates of hope are shut, my love,

Ours is a grim inheritance, They've killed not microbes, but—my

love— Romance.
