ft. Leonard, who Is resting up In tin; city tills week preparatory to making a trip to Australia, gave a remarkable exhibition of his powers of divination and mind reading to an audience of about l')0 persons in the West Hotel office yesterday afternoon, I'rof. Leonard is not doing any work here, and does not expect to; the entertainment was an Impromptu affair and the result of some Incredulous expressions of skeptical people about the hotel. One of these was Kd Conway, who has given Johnstone tests that he was unequal to, and who thought he had one that would prove too much for I'rof. I-onard.

So confident was he that he offered to wager the professor would fall. The latter declined to bet, but to convince Conway, said he would undertake to perform any test that might be suggested. The test selected by Conway whs a severe one. A $5 bill was placed between two pieces of pasteboard and then sealed In an I'rof. Leonard was asked to state what was in the envelope.

With scarcely a moment's hesitation he replied: "A five dollar bill." "What is the number of It?" asked Conway, with the air of a man who has pro pounded a stumper. Thiswas a more difficult matter, but ul though Air. Conway could not have told the numbers himself the professor called off, "II R71.1." These numbers were taken down by Clerk Perry, and upon comparison with the bill's were found to be the correct ones. Mr. Conway paid Johnstone had fallen down on the same test.

He was more than satlslled. Not no the professor, however. "I'll give you one more," he said. Taking six pic es of paper he asked a gentleman in the audience to write the name of dead person and the names of five that are living one on each sheet of paper, and then fold them up. This was done out of sight of the professor.

He then drew the papers one at a time slowly across his brow. I 11 now tell you the name of the dead man, said the professor. "I see the face of an elderly man. He has a full, white bear He died a violent death. On the day of his death he was in good health.

The name Is that of carter H. Harrison." "He's right," exclaimed the gentleman who had written the name. The professor then completed he test by scattering the papers on the floor, retaining the one on which Mr. Harrison's name was written. There were many expres-ions of astonish ment at the professor's feats, but there was still one "Doubting Thomas" in the crowd.

He was Fred Horrlgan, a St. Louis travel ing man, who Is something of a mind reader himself. "If It Is not asking too much, professor, I would like to give you another test," he sail. The professor as sented, and was led out of the office and blindfolded while Horrlgan was making his preparations for the coming test. I'rof.

Ijt-onard did not know what the test was to he. While he was blindfolded Horrlgan took an ordinary pin, went to the regis ter, opened it to Nov. 9 and stuck the pin through the page near the top of the fifth line. The pin was then taken into the bar room and handed to Allen Ames, who hid it on one of the ledges of the bar fixtures. When everything was ready I'rof.

Ionard was called in. Without being told what was expected of him, he seized Horrigan's hand, circled up to the clerk's desk and then out Into the bar room. He went through the wine room in the rear, came In through the bar doorway and went behind the bar. Without disturbing a bottle or a glass he reached up and took down the pin. Then came a rapid run back into the olllee and to the clerk's desk.

1 he pro fessor seized the register, turned the leaves back and rorward several times blindfolded all the time halted at the page with the line "November at the top, and with scarcely a moment's hesitation stuck the pin Into the hole that had been made mere The feat was performed In half the time it takes to relate It, and at its conclusion there was no one present who doubted that the professor was the possessor or some indefinable and inexplicable power.

CROWDS AT THE FAIR. Hundred of f'HUeuH Mere at Ilnr- liionlu Hull I.imt Kreniutr to Add Their Mile to the Fund lleiug It nixed for the llenefit of Orphans.

At Harmonla Hall last evening every inch of floor space was occupied by visitors to the Catholic fair. There were no spe cial features on the program to call for an unusual attendance, but every one was there. The booths look especially pretty, being decorated in an artistic, manner by the ladies who have worked untiringly to make the fair a success. As the week advances much enthusiasm is centered in the voting contests, anil the question as to who will be the most popular ladv. gentleman, small boy or girl is now the general topic of conversation.

Pretty little maids with voting books are making a vigorous canvass of the fair, and their hard work is nightly adding to the fund for the Catholic Orphans' Home. A fortune telling establishment in one corner of the hall is surrounded by an air of mystery, but is well patronized. The reader of destinies is concealed within the walls of a tastily decorated Indian wigwim and the witch's prognostications are only known to those who enter. One section of the fair is devoted to a commissary department, where charming waitresses attend to the wants of those who seek to satisfy the cravings of the inner man. The fair will continue until tomorrow night, when the results of the various voting contests will be announced.

FRIGHTFULLY BURNED. Mian Cora F.rick the Victim of Painful and Dlst reHl ngr Accident, 4 ii used by Mtric Acid Falling- on iler rate. Miss Cora Erlck, a student at the South Side High School, met with a painful accident on Wednesday afternoon. She was at the school building arranging a tableau In which she was to appear as the Uoddess of Liberty. During the rehearsal she raised over her head a glass tube which was supposed to have'been empty, but which afterwards proved to contain nitric acid.

The deadly fluid was spilled, running down ution her forehead and nose, Inflicting terrible torture. The screams of the young latly brought a professor to her side, who immediately applied ammonia to the flesh, thus, probably, preventing permanent disfigurement- The drug had eaten deeply Into the flesh, and might have resulted more seriously had not assistance arrived In the nick of time. Miss Krlck's eyesight was not Injured. A Storehouse Itnrnetl. A barn In the rear of V.

P. Meyers' blacksmith shop at Hennepin avenue, was destroyed by fire at 10:30 o'clock last night. Meyers rented the barn of Frank Eustls, living next door to his shop, and used It as a storehouse. Three delivery wagons were destroyed. The loss will be about $500, while that on the building is covered by Insurance.

The meeting of the city council tonight 1 fair to be one of a very Intere sting nature.

It will be remembered that the mayor In hia recent discourse in-fore the city luistors took occasion to refer to the condition of the city when he tixik the reins of governrni-nt- This Ktirred up the follower of ex-Mayor Winston, ami It nald that the Iiemocratlc aldermen contemplate Introducing a resolution looking" to a full Investigation of the number of houses of prostitution, saloons, Wimbling houses (if any can be found), with a view of making a comparison with the figure for preceding committee, IT 1a understood, will consist partially of aldermen, with possibly the chief of police and the city comptroller or city attorney, or both, added. Marked copies of a prohibition paper published in this city have been went to all the aldermen. The marked portion is a bitter editorial against the mayor and his saloon policy, and in strong language it declares that the mayor haa laid himself open to Impeachment, and that proceedings should be begun against him at once. Home of the aldermen, particularly Messrs. Nor-clei, Bkoog and McAllister, are "agin" the mayor's policy, and If a resolution of Impeachment is Introduced one of them will probably father It.

To TUB TKIHUNE man who asked Mayor Kustis what he thought of the incipient move against him, he said: "Why, they don't need to do that. I will resign when 1 find that the majority of the community is opposed to me." "How about the majority of the council?" was asked. "Well, that Is another matter, and I won't discuss that question now." It is prophesied that an attempt will be made at tonight's meeting to amend the saloon ordinance so as to make conviction for keeping oen on Kunday possible only where It in shown that a sale of liquor has boen made. It has long been contended that It was unfair to prevent a Haloon keeper from entering his place of business on Sunday to attend to tires or to clean up, without danger of being arrested and fined, but no attempt has been made to amend the law because It was believed that the mayor would veto It. It Is now thought.

In view of the mayor's policy, that he would sign such an ordinance, and It Is proposed to make the effort to necure a change. The Milwaukee track lowering question will also come up, and It said that an effort will be made to take the matter out of the hands of the committee appointed ome time since, and pass a resolution di recting the city attorney to proceed at once with the stilt at first ordered in case the road did not comply with the council's order to begin work within tw days. There Is also likely to be an eruption when the tire department committee re ports In regard to hose and those 1217 horses. Two re-wrta from the committee are expected. A FREE K1NDERGRR1EN.

The class is held In the afternoon, as the hall Is In use during the morning, and Is in charge of graduates of the training class of the roebcl Institute. The cuts was opened Monday afternoon, and although small at present, promises to grow lariser when Its existence Is better known.

A free kindergarten was in operation on Western avenue under the auspices of the central union, but It was conducted at large expense and ha been closed this fall. The new class will take the place of the other, which was one of the best equipped In the city, and be operated at comparatively small expense. The teachers volunteer their services in turn. Word comes from Mrs. K.

A. Russell, who has been ill In Chicago, at the Temperance Hospital, that she is gaining strength and that he will shortly go to New York to be with a brother before deciding uim plans for the winter. A few days ago friends of Mrs. Russell at the coffee house sent her a present of a handsome blanket wrapper with bed room slippers, and accompanying the gift was a packet of letters from the donors, tied with white ribbon. Mrs.

Russell was much touched by this evidence of friendship, and In a letter of acknowledgement wrote that "the givers must be 111 In a hospital before they can know what such a demonstration of kindliness meant to me."

A few years ago the project of putting In a dam In the Mississippi above Minneapolis, near Coon creek rapids, was called to the attention of the Business Union, but the enterprise was given up, us the Information obtained from surveys was of such a nature as to discourage the undertaking. It was said yesterday that there was some talk of again taking up the scheme, but inquiry failed to develop anything confirmatory of the report. It was originally hoped that by building a dam near Coon creek enough water power could be secured to run large ore refining works, which it was proposed to locate here, but there was not enough fall to the stream and there were so many conflicting rights with the boom companies that the whole matter was abandoned.

The neighborhood at the corner of Twen ty-second street and Fourth avenue south wa-s thrown into a state of great excitement about ti o'clock last evening. The bold bad highwayman was the cause ol the furore. The victim of the hold up was a woman, and the man was the usual six footer. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. RoieO, who kei ps a confectionery store at the cornel of Twenty-second street and Fourth uve nuc, went down town and returned to her store with about t-5, which she placed in the till.

About 6 o'clock a tall stranger entered tha little shop, ami looking around for a moment, pulled a. gun and placed il at the head of the frightened woman, at the same time demanding the money in the store. Mrs. Hoice for a moment was too frighteni.il to move, and stood stock still. The highwayman brought her to her senses by cocking the pistol, and taking the hint, Mrs.

Hoice gave up the t-utin amount in her possession. The villain good his escape, and Mrs. Hoice is wholly unstrung by the occurrence. She de scribes the highwayman as being about six feet tall, weighing about 1H0 pounds, had prominent Roman nose, and wore a brown moustache, dark clothes, and was well dressed. At the time of the hold up he had smoked glasses over his eyes.

The MilllnK Minneapolis millers have received notice from all lines save the Soo that no more Hour could be received for lake shipment, either via Lake Superior ports, or Milwaukee and Chicago. This is done to clean up what stuff has accumulated at the lake ports, and, should the weather prove favorable, different lines may come into the market again for limited quantities, to be furnished quickly. The Soo road expects to continue to accept shipments for lake transit for several days. Y'esterday at Duluth a meeting was held of the milcrs of that district, at wlhieh a demand was made upon Eastern all rail freight lines for a reduction on the 37-cent rate.

The Inference was given that if the concession was not granted several of the mills might he obliged to close for a time. It Is not expected, however, that there will be unity of action among millers of the Northwest In regard to the matter either of demanding a lower tariff or of shutting down the mills.

Now, I haven't much u.se for THE TKlliUNK as a newspaper on general principles In fact, I would rather have the Journal with me than to have the Times and THE TRIBUNE put together. But you know how it Is in a case like this." Mr.

Crooker was called upon at his office In the Guaranty Loan Lailiing yester day, and asked whether he had seen the purported interview. "1 have," he replied with a smile. Thereupon Mr. Crooker's attention was called to the paragraph above quoted and he was requested to state whether or not he was correctly reported therein. I had an Interview yesterday with a man holding an executive iositiori on the Journal who is a friend of mine." Mr.

Crooker replied, "but I don't care to talk about it unless you will promise me that you will not publish what I say." THE TRIBUNE Hate that it would have to hear what he had to say before such a promise could be made. Mr. Crooker was averse to figuring in a newspaper controversy, but fmully admitted that he had been misrepresented. 'I did not say that, he declared as he read the paragraph. "I talked with the Journal man, but I did not know that anything I said would be printed, and had no Idea that I was being interviewed.

I did say that I would like to have the Jour nal on my side, and that if 1 printed the affidavits it would be in THE TRIIiUXE."

The three days' meeting of the Nnrwetrian Lutherans In sympathy with Amrsburir Seminary ami its teachings, held at Trinity Church, closed late yesterday afternoon, and the ministers and laymen left for their Domes on the evening trains. 1Hh TRIIiUNK interviewed a numlier of them after the adjournment, and the opinion was unanimous that the ultimate result of the meeting would be a division in the Norwegian Lutheran Church, as it is not anticipated that the older element will ac cept the terms laid down by the meeting just closed. One of the leading friends of Augsburg spoke as follows on the subject: "I do not believe that the terms which we have provided for the transfer of the seminary will be satisfactory to the united con- terence. which meets In Jdne of next year, but It Is our ultimatum, and both branches in the church now have a clearer understanding of each other than ever before.

The finances of the majority, or rather of that body opposed to the seminary, are in a desperate condition. It has a verv heavv debt on its hands, and to lose Augsburg en tirely would be a very serious blow. It Is possible that the more conservative element will view the matter froma pecuniary standpoint and accept the proposed transfer with as good grace as possible. I do not think that other considerations would prompt them to entertain the transfer under the conditions which ill be laid down." After an Inspection of the seminary yesterday Its friends assembled at Trinity t-nurcn more determined than ever to up hold Its teachings. The principal business transacted was the election of a committee of sevn members who will wait upon the next annual conference and submit terms for the transfer of Augsburg to the United Church.

The committee chosen was as fol lows: Rev. C. Sangstad, Crookston; Rev K. Harbg, Duluth; Prof. Skebsten, Willmar; I'rof.

M. O. Sundt, Mankato; Rev. M. Falk (ijertsen, Prof.

G. Sverdrup and Prof. Olaf Hoft, Minneapolis. This committee was un instructed, but will be guided by the report of the special committee on transfer of the seminary. The report was read before the meeting, but was referred to the committee of seven without any action being taken, with the understanding that it was discretionary with it to use what portion of the suggestions it thought best In preparing Its formal communication to the conference.

The rejiort set forth the following propo sitions as the only conditions on which the transfer of the seminary should be made: "That the two theological professors of the old Norwegian-Danish Lutheran con ference, Professors Sverdrup and Ofterhal, remain as theological professors of the semi nary of the United Church." "That the seminary be conducted in the same manner as heretofore, and the college department remain with the theological de partment." "That the present professors of the college department be regarded as professors of the I nlted Church." "That all funds appropriated for the semi nary be given into the hands of the cor potation controlling it." "That in case of the death of one or both of the professors mentioned within, the next five years, the successors named by the United Church shall be ratified by the trus tees of Augsburg Seminary." "That the Augsburg corporation shall re main standing and execute a lease of Wi years to the I nlted Church embodying the terms named." "That the Ijoard of trustees of Augsburg Seminary have the right to make all changes and repairs at the building they may deem fit." The meeting also elected an ordination committee to provide for the ordination of such ministers as shall be refused by the United Church because of their adherance to Augsburg, and Rev. Kalk Ujertsen was appointed to ordain all such ministers and give them full authority in the church. The ordination committee will first examine the candidates and recommend them to Rev djertsen.

Students of the United Norwegian Lutheran Chun School are up in arms over certain statements made in the convention of the so-called minority, or Augsburg party. There are 33 of the students who were formerly students of Augsburg, and they claim to hav? been accused of bjlng improperly influenced to desert the parent school. A meeting was held of these and other students Wednesday, and the following resolutions were adopted: "Whereas, At the meeting of the minority (Augsburg) party, held Nov. at Minneapolis, I'rof. S.

Oftedahl made the statement that unwarranted means had been employed to entice students to leave Augsburg and attend the United Church Seminary. Therefore, we, former students of Augsburg, against whom this charge is made, do hereby resolve as follows: "1. We declare said statement to be untrue, and lllng the chaige back, as false and defamatory, to the source from whence it cam.1. "2. We have not been influenced by any improper means whatever, but acted according to our conscientious convictions, ns we could not support the minority (Augsburg) In the course it was determined upon.

That the resolutions be sent to the meeting of the minority with the request that they be read before the body, and also that they be given to the press." The resolutions were duly and properly presented to the conference meeting, but the students yesterday were informed that no recognition had been given them, and they were very much excited over the case and there Is likely to be further action taken.
