At exactly 11:25 the last stroke of the last stroke of the saws which sev- ered the restraining blocks was heard and the ship began to move down the ways. ; Miss Schaller, at the word of Presi- dent Oreutt, seizing in both hands the bottle of American champagne, dashed it against the red bows of the ship and said in a clear voice: “I christen thee Minnesota.” Then she and her maids of honor and the others on the launching plat- form began to cheer and applaud. President Orcutt ‘congratulated and thanged Misses Schaller, Day and MacMillan upon the successful com- pletion of that part of the ceremony. As the official Minnesota party as- cended to the launching platform a cheer rolled out from the throats of the thousands of spectators, and still another cheer greeted the ascent of the christening party to the launching booth above the large platform, direct- iy adjoining the bow of the ship.

The luncheon which followed the launching of the battleship was a brilliant affair. Among the toasts re- sponded to were the following: “The President,” by Senator Carter of Montana, who paid a high tribute to the present and all former occupants of the White House, saying one might always honor both the office and the man, no matter how diverse political views might be. Assistant Secretary Darling respond- ed to the sentiment, “The Navy.” He spoke of his approaching retirement and complimented the Newport News shipyard for its part in the upbuilding of the navy. He declared the navy was not developing beyond the growth and advancement of the nation. “Minnesota” was responded to by Hon. Frank A. Day, who represented Goy. Johnson of Minnesota. Goy. Montague responded to toast, “Virginia.” Senator J. C. Burroughs of Michigan spoke on “The American Merchant Marine,” urging such legislation as will develop the ocean carrying trade of America. The sponsor responded to a toast to herself by expressing the hope that the ship never would be found: fighting save in the cause of truth and justice. State Senator Schaller of Minnesota responded to the sentiment, “The Wife of the Governor cf Minnesota.” The neighboring cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Richmond, Fortress Mon- roe and Hampton turned out liberal contingents by special train and boat to see the launching.

Lawton, Okla., April 12.—President Roosevelt has seen John Abernathy, a well known wolf catcher, in his unique way kill a coyote. Abernathy’s favor- ite dog “Cannon Ball” led the first big race of the four days’ race event Mon- day morning and captured a wolf in the chase. Abernathy leaped from his horse and with hegvily gloved hands seized the prostrate animal’s jaws, lifted it in his arms and delivered it to the president. That the president is enjoying every hour of his recreation is evident by the fact that he has expressed a de- sire to remain in the pasture until Saturday evening, thus extending his allotted time two days. The third hunt occurred yesterday morning. A lessee of a portion of the pasture arrived in Lawton yesterday and reports that the president himeelf captured a coyote yesterday after- noon, The lessee was within a few yards of the president when the cap- ture was made.

The meeting adjourned with no peace in sight. The union lebor committee, fresh from a conference with Mayor Dunne, set forth emphatically that the teamsters were out in sympathy with the gar- ment workers cnly, and that if the grievances of the garment workers were not to be considered there was nothing to arbitrate.

St. Paul, April 5.—The Perley bill, which removes the university and the normal schools from the jurisdiction of the board of control, needs only the signature of Gov. John A. Johuscn to become a law. It passed the senate yesterday without amendment by a vote of 46 to 8. The bill provides that the only jurisdiction the board of con- trol shall heve over the affairs of these institutions relates to the erection of buildings, the purchase of fuel and the A purchasing agent, the bill provides, shall be ap- pointed by the regents of the universi- ty and one by the state normal school board to superintend the purchasing of supplies for the schools. The bill by Senator A. B. Cole fix- ing the compensation of the privato secretary of the governor at $3,600 passed the senate yesterday, after it had been amended on the calendar so that it will take effect Jan. 1, 1907, in- stead of Jan. 1, 1906. The house passed thirty-one bills yesterday, among the more important being the following: To authorize counties to extend the outlets of existing ditches into an ad- joining state; to prohibit corporations organized for pecuniary profit from making contributions for campaign purnoses; to authorize the state audi- tor to advertise sales of state lands and th» advantages Minnesota offers settlers; to forbid common carriers from employing locomotive engineers not having three years’ experience as an engineer or fireman; to empower cities. of less than 10,000 inhabitants to issue bonds for purchasing or im- proving water works; to make aban- dcament or neglect of a wife and chil- dren a gross misdemeanor; to allow an additional county road tax of half a mill in 1906 and 1907 in certain cases; to provide for a ‘comprehensive sys- tem of draining all’state lands; to im- pose a 4 per cent tax on the gross earnings of freight line companies; to prohibit the sale of the flesh of calves jess than four weeks old: to prohibit foreign insurance companies from re- moving cases brought against them to the United States courts. St. Paul, April 6—It is evident that no important amendments to the pri- mary election law will be adopted at this session of the legislature. Fol- lowing the course pursued by the house, the senate yesterday disap- proved of three primary bills, leaving only one measure to be acted upon, that by Senator J. T. Schain of Brown’s Valley, extending the law to cover state officers and changing the date from September to June. The measures which to all intents and pur- poses are disposed of both by the house and senate follow: Providing that the three candidates for state of- fice receiving the highest vote at the state convention shall be voted upon at the primary election; providing that delegates to the state convention shall be elected by primary election; pro- viding that delegates to county ¢on- ventions shall be elected by primary election. The friends of the new code won a victory in the senate when they se- cured the passage of a motion to place the code reported by the judiciary committee at the head of general or- ders, where they hope to keep it to the exclusion of other bills until it is acted on. This motion was carried un- der suspension of the rules by a vote of 45 to 5. All restrictions as to the amount of convict labor that may be employed in any industry at the state prison are removed by a bill introduced by Repre- sentative H. B. Vollmer. Encouraged by the passage of the | Perley bill, Senator C. M. Buck iptro- | duced a measure along the same line to remove the schools for the deaf and the blind at Faribault from the juris- diction of the state board of control. ‘The bill was referred to the committee on the schools for the deaf, dumb and blind. ¥ The bill by Senator R. B. Brower providing for taking the fifth decen- nial census of Minnesota passed the house under suspension of the rules. The Ware passerger rate bill. was reviewed by the house and replaced on the calendar. The bill fixed a maxi- mum rate of 21-2 cents a mile for the transportation of ‘passengers on rail- roads in Minnesota. The senate insurance committee ; bill, placing the Minaeecis insurance commissioner on a salary basis and reorganizing the department, was rec- ommended to pass by the house com- mittee of the whole. The house, how- ever,.amended the bill to reduce the insurance commissioner's salary from | $4,500 to $3,500. Represcntative Gustave Erickson’s | anti-bucketshop bill passed the senate yesterday by a vote of 51 to 0. Senator John G. Schutz moved a call of the senate before the secretary proceeded | ing cities and { | | State Solons Are Doing with the roll call. anti-bucketshop bill passed by the sen- ate at this session. St, Paul, April 7.—It took the senate committee of the whole a little more than an hour yesterday afternoon to consider the new code with the 1,000 house amendments and the 900 amend- ments made by the senate judiciary committee Most of the senators Were ready to vote on the code yes- terday afternoon, but rather than ap- pear to be rushing things too fast, Senator Somerville, chairman of the judiciary committee, moved that progress be reporied on the code so as to give senators an opportunity to make further amendments to-day if they desired. The friends of revision are confident that the code will pass. The senate by a vote of 14 to 8 re- fused to place on general orders the house bill which extends the Torrens law in vogue in Ramsey, Hennepin and St. Louis counties to cover the en- tire state. Only the signature of Gov. Johnson is needed to make the state highway commission bill a law. The senate yes- terday passed the bill. This means that if the bill is signed by the gov- ernor an entirely new method of ap- portioning the road and bridge fund will be in vogue. It will be appor- tioned by a state highway commission instead of by the legislature, the com- mission to have full authority to supervise the construction of soads for which state aid is granted. The senate passed Senator A. V. Rieke’s bill raising the salaries of the justices of the supreme court from $5,000 to $6,000 and of the judges of the district court, except in Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis counties, from $3,500 to $4,200.

Cole’s bill providing that the notarial fees hitherto collect- ed by the private secretary of the gov- ernor shall be paid into the state treasury was passed by the senate without debate, The majority and minority reports of the joint committee whtch has in- vestigated transportatior rates in Min- nesota were submitted to the house and the senate yesterday. They were accompanied by several bills and reso- lutions, which, in the senate, were made a special order for 11 o’clock on the morning of April 12. The house killed the bill by Repre- sentative E. E. Adams providing for a state bureau for the prevention of cruel treatment of children and ani- mals, a measure advocated *by the hu- mane societies of the Twin Cities. Representative John Zelch’s bill practically abolishing justice courts in cities having a municipal court, was killed in the house by a vote of 38 to 25. St. Paul, April 8—In spite of stren- uous opposition, the senate yesterday afternoon passed the new code by a vote of 44to 9. Lieut. Gov. Ray W. Jones had held that a two-thirds vote was required to pass the code, owing to the chapter on banking, so that the bill had only two votes to spare. The code goes back to the house with twenty-five amendments, most of them unimportant, adopted on the floor of the senate, and about 900 amendments made by the senate judiciary commit- tee. The date at which the code is to take effect is left at Dec. 1, 1905, so that the friends of the code do not ex- pect that the two houses will have any difficulty in agreeing on the sen- ate amendments. The senate killed by a vote of 25 to 21 Senator F, H. Peterson’s bill allow- villages to construct and operate telephone lines. By, an almost unanimous viva voce vote the house adopted the report of the public accounts and expenditures committee commending the manage- ment of the state timber and mineral lands by State Auditors R. C. Dunn and S. G. Iverson. Representative William J. Stock’s bill regulating the qualifications of registered pharmacists was recom- mended to pass yesterday by the house committee of the whole after w keen contest. .

Stephens’ bill, as amended, raising the salaries of the railroad and warehouse commissioners from $3,000 to $3,600. Senator Henry A.

J. Rockne of Zumbrota.

ELEANOR R. PARKER. In Little Old New York, “The ‘onger I live in this town of ours,” said an old resident, “the more I am convinced of its cosmopolitan- ism. For instance, I take breakfast in a Greek restaurant, an Italian barber shaves me, a Russian furnishes my newspapers I patronize a French laundry, i ride on a car manned by a German motorman and an Irish con- ductor, and my dealings with Jews are too numerous to mention. It seems to me that the only suggestion of an American I can see is the wooden In- dian in front of a Cuban cigar store.” —-New York Sun. Prevaricating Proficiency. “I want to become a press agent.

All sufferers from weakness or disor- ders of the digestive organs will read with lively interest the story of the com- plete recovery of Mrs. Netilie Darvoux from chronic dyspepsia which was thought to be incurable. “To be ailing for nine years is nova very pleasant experience,’’ said. Mra, Darvoux, when asked for some account of her illness. ‘‘ For two years I was critically ill and could not attend tomy household duties, and at one time I was 80 weak and miserable that I could not even walk. My trouble was chronic dys- pepsia. I became extremely thin and had a sallow complexion. I had no ap- petite and could not take any food with- out suffering great distress.’” “Did you have a physician?’ “Yes, I took medicine from a dozen different doctors, but without getting any benefit whatever.” “«How did you get on the track ofa cure . “A book about Dr. Williams’Pink Pills was thrown in oyr doorway one day. My husband picked it up and read it through carefully. He was so impressed by the statements of those who had been cured by that remedy that he imme- diately bought three boxes of the pills and insisted on my taking them.’’ “Did they help you at once?’’ “I began to feel better the second day after I started to use the pills and by the ttme I had taken the three boxes I was entirely well. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills can cure even when doctors fail, and they cure thoroughly, for a long time has passed since my restoration to health and I know it is complete and lasting.” The surest way to make sound diges- tion isto give strength to the orgauvs con- cerned. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills give new vigor to the blood. No other rem- edy yields such radical results. Mrs. Darvoux lives at No. 497 Sixth street, Detroit, Mich.
