MANY OTHER FEATURES PLANNED.

Mm. R. M. Newport Says That NoMember of a Committee Has

Been Found Wanting.

Much has been said In the press regarding

the work of the citizens' committee In pre-paring for the September encampment, and

but little attention has been given to the ef-

fective and highly creditable work of theladies' committees, under the direction of Mrs.R. M. Newport The ladies have been quietly

at work for the last two months, and it maybe fairly said, without the least disparagementto the citizens' committees, that their prepara-tions are far more complete than would natur-ally be supposed—considering the work it isknown has been done by the gentlemen.

For instance, in the matter of the severalreceptions to be given by the ladles duringencampment week, the plans, even to theminute details, have been practically de-cided upon. . By far the most magnificent af-fair in this line will be given by the ladiesTuesday evening, Sept. 1, when the old vet-

erans will each be given an Individual wel-come by the ladles comprising the reception

committee.This reception will be given in Summit

park. The park will be beautifully illumi-nated and decorated, and the ladies will re-ceive in a pavilion to be erected near thelower entrance. The veterans will come in atthat end, and afterwards may proceed to theladies' headquarters, which will also be il-luminated and decorated, and where light re-freshments will be served—lemonade, iced tea,coffee, cake, salads and sandwiches. Nopunch.

Thursday evening the most unique receptionof the week takes place. It will, more prop-erly speaking, be one long series of recep-tions. They will occur on Summit avenue,which will be magnificently decked for theoccasion. The plan Is to erect a series ofpavilions along the avenue, and divide theladies' committee up into sections, a certainnumber to preside at each pavilion. Thenthe delegates from the different states, andthe visitors also, can attend a state reception.At each pavilion will be given speeches bydistinguished orators from the states whichhave pavilions. The residences and groundsalong the line will be a blaze of light, andwith bands of music and receptions all alongthe beautiful drive, it will be a scene neverto be forgotten. .

But this is not all. The ladies' receptioncommittee has also decided to give the vis-iting ladies a carriage ride, may be two orthree, around the city and over the beautifuldrive to the Minnesota Soldiers' home, atMinnehaha. And on either Wednesday or Fri-

| day afternoon a formal reception will beI tendered the visiting lady delegates atthe ladies' headquarters.

In addition to the above series of recep-tions, there will be another to a small num-ber of now old and infirm ladies—to twentyof the old army nurses—those heroines whoendured all the horrors of the war that theymight speak a comforting word to the sickand battle-maimed boys in blue; who nursedthem tenderly back to life and strength, andreceived the last messages and smoothed therude pillows of the mortally wounded. Twen-ty of these nurses will come, and not a vet-eran in St. Paul next September will fail todo them honor. They were angels of mercy inthe days of strife and bloodshed, and whenthey come here next September the ladies in-tend to show them that their deeds of self-sacrifice and herlosm have never been for-gotten. The reception to these old armynurses will be given on some evening to bedecided on later, and it is promised that itwill be 'in every way a fitting one.

The matter of serving light refreshments |at the ladies' headquarters during the week.asplanned, Is alone not a light task for theladies. Mrs. J. B. Hoxsie, chairman of therefreshments committee, has the arrange-ments in her department quite complete,however. She has divided the olty into pre- ,clncts and has appointed subchalrmen fromeach precinct, whose duty it is to securefrom the ladies of their respective precinctsthe wherewith to tempt the palates of vis-itors at headquarters. Nearly the entire cityhas been canvassed and nearly enough hasbeen promised to serve a light repast to 6,000visitors daily at headquarters, the number it :is estimated the ladles will entertain, andthe refreshments will not consist of hardtack and coffee, either.

Mrs. S. B. McConnell, chairman of the ac-commodations committee, has carried on herwork like a politician out for votes. She hasfollowed the division of the city into electionprecincts, and in each precinct has a commit-tee. These committees have made a house tohouse canvass, and now have their workabout completed. Mrs. McConnell's commit-tee expects to provide accommodations In pri-vate families for at least 35,000 veterans andvisitors. The number may run to 50,000, andwhen all the suburban precincts are heardfrom it is not Improbable that it will. Listsfor about 1,200 more places were turned inyesterday where veterans and visitors mayobtain room and board.

The ladles' Invitation and reception com-mittee have adopted a neat design in silverand gold for their note paper and all sta-tionery sent out from headquarters. It willbe some time yet before invitations will beissued, but lists of distinguished Americanladles are already being prepared. Mrs. Cleve-land and the ladies of the cabinet will be in- jvited, as will also the wives of senators and ;congressmen. In addition to these guests, theladies of the executive committee of the Co- Ilumbian exposition will be invited, and alsothe wives of the governors of the different.states.

The ladies' decorations committee has notbeen idle. This committee has charge of thedecorations in the residence district of thecity, and in all halls and buildings where theW. R. C, the Ladies of the G. A. R., Daugh-ters of Veterans and other patriotic ladies'societies will meet. In the residence districtthe committee will expend no money on deco-rations, their work consisting more of pro-moting and encouraging citizens to decorate;but at headquarters and in the different hallsand churches they will spread themselves.The decorations at the ladies' headquarters willbe unique, brilliant and entirely original inconception. Mrs. John R. Brooke, chairmanof the house committee, will next week con-sult with the head gardener at Como park inregard to beautifying the grounds at the. ladies'headquarters. She has prepared a large num-ber of original designs in the way of arrang-ing the flowers and shrubbery, and when herideas have been put Into execution she 13 will-ing to guarantee results.

In consequence of her removal at an earlydate from the city. Miss Sturgis, chairmanof the ladles' amusements committee, has re-signed that position. Mrs. Gen. Sturgis andMiss Sturgis. remove in a. few weeks toPrairie dv Chien, Wis., where they will re-main for the season. No one has as yet beenchosen for the place.

Workmen have been engaged for tbe lasttwo weeks in preparing the ladies' headquar-ters for occupancy. It is hoped that the low-er floor at least will be ready for use earlynext week, and as soon as possible thereafter,Mrs. Newport, the president, will call ageneral meeting of all ladles' committees.Mrs. Newport expresses herself as highlypleased with the work of the different com-mittees so far, and says not a member ofany committee has been found wanting eitherin enthusiasm or intelligent, well directedeffort.

A different ladles' committee will .have"charge of the headquarters every day during

the encampment, but a part of each dayMrs. Mason, Mrs. J. J. McCardy and Mrs.Brooke and Mrs. Newport will be present

The committees mentioned above have ofnecessity been the busiest up to this time,but soon the other committees will be calledinto active service, and there is not theleast doubt but what they will perform theduties assigned them equally as well as theones that have practically wound up theirwork.

Mrs. Newport says the ladies of the subur-ban committees, as well as the city ladles.aredoing excellent work. Mrs. F. B. Doran hasbeen particularly active, and with her lady

friends, has the West side pretty thoroughlyorganized.

ADVENTISTS IN CAMP.

Annual Tent Meeting; Begins at -Mer-riam Park.

The beautiful grove at Merriam Park,University and Prior avenues, is again thescene of the annual camp meeting of theSeventh Day Adventists. For more than aweek, the cenference laborers have been onthe grounds, busily engaged in preparing forthe big meeting, which is eagerly lookedforward to by every loyal Seventh Day Ad-ventlst, as an event of the greatest Im-portance. Very many of the people of theTwin Cities also avail themselves of the op-portunity of attending the meetings of thispeculiar, energetic and interesting sect

The camp is already assuming large pro-portions, although the camp meeting properwill not take place till June 2-9. How-ever, dally services will be held previous tothat time. The rising bell rings at 5 o'clocka. m., and a devotional service is held from5:30 to 6:30. At 7, "breakfast is served inthe large, thoroughly equipped dining tent,where meals may be had by all desiringthem at low rates. From 8 till 10, all arebusily engaged In the work of preparation,and at 10:30 a meeting is held in the in-terests of some of the many lines of workwhich they so zealously prosecute. Ex-periences are related, and plans discussedand formulated. After dinner, work isagain in order, until 2:30 p. m., whenanother service is held. At 7:45 each even-ing, a preaching service is held, to whichvisitors are made welcome. More than 100family tents are already up, and 100 morewill be erected. Four large tents, rangingIn size from 30x50 to 40x60, are up, in whichservices for the youth, children, German,English and Scandinavian departments ofthe camp are held. A large, fully stockedprovision stand Is In operation on the groundfor the accommodation of the campers, alsoa book stand, where the dally papers and afull line of their denominational literatureare on sale.

The location is an ideal one for campmeeting purposes, and the scene, as viewedfrom the Interurban cars, as they pass, isa pretty one, the living green of the grassand trees, relieved by the snowy whitenessof the tents, forming a picture not soon for-gotten.

Wag-era of War.

Business men of St. Paul put on their dresssuits last night and did themselves proud inhonor of Col. Pa§{e and retinue of the Thirdinfantry, stationed at Fort Snelling.

The rooms of. the Commercial club .werebeautifully decorated for the occasion, andt he bright and shining lights of the Legionof Honor, the G. A. R. and the nationalguard put on their best bib and tucker tomeet the uniformed representatives of thenational fighting force that will be one hun-dred years old next Saturday.

Col. Page and staff arrived early and were re-ceived by President Tanish and membersof the Commercial club. There was a mightyexpanse of white shirt front at the head ofthe elevator, and a gorgeous display of blueand gold in the procession that filed Into thereception room. Then came Gen. Bend withhis staff, and the reception room was speedilyfilled with people who are soldiers by pro-fession and others who are soldiers wait-ing for an opportunity to show what good,loyal citizens they are.. There were ladles,too, in the assemblage—lots of them. Therewere people who knew Minnefota when sol-diers were a necessity in the frontier villageof St. Paul; grizzled old chaps who wore GrandAimy buttons stood side by side with theyouths who are learning Upham's tricks.

An orchestra made pleasant music whilethe guests were- assembling in the prettilydecorated recaption room. It was nearly 10o'clock when President Vanish made his briefaddress, introducing Col. Page. He made somany complimentary allusions to the soldieryof the historic Snelling that there was muchapplause. Tb*n' Col. Page was introduced,and his resporise, which was frequently in-terrupted by *nearty applause, was as fol-lowp: * '

Snelling; there are pioneers here who arebetter fitted to tell you the tale of that oldlandmark, so closely connected with the his-tory, and' so dear to the citizens of Minne-sota; but I will call your attention to thebeautifiil government military reservation ofover 1,500 acres, situated equi-distant andbetween your Twin Cities. It should be amagnificent park, where the denizens of boththese wide-awake young cities of the Westcould assemble to see their nation's officialflag thrown to the breeze at the reveille,the respect and honor shown it when furledat the retreat.It should have cavalry, artillery, engineer

It has at present only one arm of theservice, the infantry. .It remains with you, gentlemen, whether

it is to be enlarged and become one of thebest equipped military posts of our coun-try. The position it h "ds as a military sta-tion is a strategical one, the railroad routesextending in all directions.

The Mississippi and Minnesota rivers bathetheir shores, ready for the poptoons; itsplains afford drill ground for cavalry, artil-lery and infantry; the commanding heightssurrounding it, opportunity for the signalservice to practice with thoir profession.

President Vanish then called on ex-Gov.Ramsey. But the venerable ex-secretary ofwar, who rever wore a uniform, but whoknows all about warfare, in two sentencestold the assemblage he had nothing to say.And he made his remarks bo pleasantly thateverybody thought it was a good thing heleft his notes at home. Gen. Mason closedthe programme with a discourse laudatoryalike of the army and the gentlemen whowere the entertainers of the evening.

Following the addresses the affair becamedelightfully informal. There were refresh-ments, of course, and an Interchange ofcourtesies that brought the army people andcivilians closely together. There were manyhandsome costumes worn by society people,who made every effort to give the occasionthat social aspect that always accompaniesaffairs of a similar nature prepared by theCommercial club.

T. D. O'Brien, who recently returned fromthe East, was asked yesterday if he had vis-ited Washington, D. C, in the Interest of anycandidate for the St Paul postmastership.

Mr. O'Brien answered:"I spent all of my time while East in New

York city, where I went to take depositions

in a case of mine. On the way home, Istopped over in Washington for two or threehours, and visited some friends, but as faras the postmastership of St Paul is concern-ed, I did nothing and found out nothing."

amined in probate court yesterday. She was! found to be somewhat simple-minded, but not

bad enough to be deprived of her liberty.

•STORY OF A WOMAN'S TROUBLES.

Her Husband Is a Seenio Artist, andHas Done Some Painting in St.

Paul.

Mrs. Matthew Bernard Smith, a decidedlyattractive little woman with a trim figure,snapping black eyes, and a bright vivaciousappearance, is, according to her own state-ment, a deserted wife, left in St. Paul, with-out money or friends, by a faithless spousewhom she believes has fallen a willing vic-tim to the wiles of a maiden whose leadingcharacteristics are a seductive smile and ahead of very blonde hair. Mrs. Smith hav-ing loved her husband, and, being of anervous temperament, Is naturally muchdowncast over his untoward action.

Mr. Smith, who Is a scenic painter byprofession, came to St. Paul, accompaniedby his wife, four weeks ago last Mondayand put up at the Metropolitan hotel. Smithpainted one or two curtains and bits ofscenery in local church schools, and just aweek ago yesterday departed, in just whichdirection, his wife and Landlord Barker

know not.The abandoned wife explained that her re-

cent lord had pawned her jewelry and had

left her almost wholly without funds. There

was the hotel bill which kept growing

larger and larger, until Monday, when Mrs.

Smith, sad at heart, packed a few things

In a small grip and went to some sympa-

thetic people on Wa&lungion street, opposite

Rice park, where she bpent the day brood-ing over her unhappy situation.

My husband belonged in Detroit," sheexplained to a Globe reporter yesterday

aiternoon, *'and it was there we were mar-ried seven years ago. Since our marriage

we have traveled most ol the time aud havovisited most of the large cities in tne coun-try. We had the best of everything, and

this trouble is very hard to bear. The peo-ple at the hotel intimated that we weretrying to beat them out of our board bill,

and that's a thing my husband never did inhis life. Oh, I've spent the best part of mylife with him, and if I only knew who itwas he ran away with. Will he see thisstory that I'm telling you? Well, the girl

he went away with was pretty, and haddimples, but her mouth was full of falseteeth. He'll get tired of her, for I've beena good wife to him for seven years, and itshard to go back to Chicago now and foldmy hands and think and think It ail over.Harry pawned my diamonds, and hewouldn't have done that If he loved me,would he? I call him Harry because hisname was Matthew Bernard, and I didn'tlike Mat."

Manager Barker declined to allow Mrs.Smith to take her trunk with her pendingthe settlement of the hotel bill, and after aconference between her lawyer, E. E. Mc-Donald, and Mr. Barker's attorney, It wasdecided that the baggage should remainhere until Mrs. Smith, who leaves for Chi-cago tonight, shall secure money fromfriends there.

Mr. Barker did not appear to be entirelysatisfied that the matter was quite regular,and said he did not propose to bo subjectedto any sharp practice. The two people cameto the hotel from Milwaukee, with but onetrunk, and under circumstances which ledhim to exercise due caution. The suddendeparture of Smith from the city served toincrease that caution.

LOOKS LIKE VAN SANT.

Dr. Frank Powell Tips the Winona

Man for a Winner.Captain Samuel R. Van Sant, the well

known Winona steamboat owner, speaker ofthe last, house In tho state legislature, lordhigh chancellor of the winter carnival, anda prominent member of the Grand Army ofthe Republic, is to be nominated In July atthe Republican state convention for the of-fice of governor of Minnesota. At all events,

this Is the opinion of Dr. Frank Powell, andIs what will happen when the delegatesgather and select the man who shall headthe Republican ticket this fall.

Dr. Powell, who has Just returned from atour of certain parts of the state, gives itas his opinion that the Winona man will befound to have the most votes when they arecounted. He said yesterday to a reporterfor the Globe:

"I have been through parts of the statewhich the friends of other candidates arecounting upon for their favorites, but letme say I believe they are making a bigmistake. I went through Houston, Fillmoreand Winona counties, and there Is the strong-est Van Sant sentiment there, and the sameis true of the country further south. InWinona county, of course, Van Sant was al-lowed to name his own delegates. His nameis more freely mentioned wherever I havebeen than that of any other candidate. Nextto him in popularity comes Gen. Clapp, ofSt. Paul.

"The people are working hard for Clough,but the names I have mentioned are bothheard more frequently than his. I firmlybelieve that Van Sant will receive the nom-ination. I have no Interest in making thisstatement for I scarcely know the man, butam simply telling what seems to be the out-look for the various candidates for the nom-ination."

the Attorney General.

Insurance men arc watching with some in-terest the outcome of the effort made by C. 11.Shove, of Minneapolis, to hkve certain Penn-sylvania companies debarred from solicitingbusiness In this state.

The matter is now inthe hand* of Attorney General Childs, \vhos«decision is expected In the course of a fewdays.

The only Pennsylvania mutual companyI now doing business in the state is the Phila-
