"'"-" A«Al> THE CAT. Another Verdict Against the Pio neer Press in a .Libel Suit. ' The suit of Dr. D. Leonard Pratt against the Pioneer Press, to recover 810.000 dam ages for libel, was concluded yesterday morning in the district court before Judge Lochren, and was given to the jury about 11 o'clock.- The jury, after being out less than a half-hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $4,275. The case has previously had four trials. I The first jury returned a verdict for $5,000, and at the third trial a verdict for 53, 000 against the defendants was returned. Each time the defendants secured a new trial and there have been two disagreements. The case will now probably be appealed to the supreme court. • The libel consisted in charging the plaintiff, who is a well-known physician, with allow ing the dead body of an infant to remain in the room with its mother until putrefaction had set in. John Bartlett, now advance agent for Emma Abbott, is the reporter who. as the verdict goes to show, made a serious mistake. PARKS A>» BOULEVARDS. A Regular Meeting' of the Commis sion Held Yesterday. Commissioner Sutherland, at yesterday's meeting of tiie park commission, reported back the matter of purchasing two tracts of land which are required TO STKAIGIITE.V CENTRAL PARK, explaining that the committee had ascer ascertained that it could acquire a title to the Cole & Weeks tract at the price esti mated by the board. He thought it prob able that condemnation proceedings would be necessitated in regard to the Place' prop erty in order to secure it. All the lots in the Cole & Weeks tract, with the exception of those owned by J. C. Taylor, can be ne gotiated for forthwith, but Mr. Taylor had stated that he desired an appraisement by three disinterested persons. The question was discussed at length and resulted in in structing the committee to ; purchase the land at the prescribed figures, and in addi tion the committee was authorized to com plete such other arrangemenrs as they deemed expedient. . THE ATTORNEY'S REPORT Judge Fish submitted a report respecting the piece of land on Fourth avenue near the high school, stating that the title would have to be acquired by the customary vaca tion proceedings. He stated also regarding the proposition of the Oak Lake Improve ment association that it would be necessary to acquire title in the usual way before park Improvements can be made. After a brief discussion the attorney was instructed to take the necessary steps to that end. LAKE HARRIET BOULEVARD. President Luring reported in regard to the Lake Harriet boulevard, that a major portion of the lands required would be do nated by the owners, and that Mr. Merritt had already attached his signature to the Seeds to his property to be given for the purpose. Other owners had signified their willingness to do the same. Mr. Thornton had. however, refused to donate and had said that his lands could only be acquired by the board through legal proceedings. It was taken as the sense of the meeting that the lands be acquired -in the usual way. Ad journed until Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. VAUDEVILLE TROUBLES. A Court Officer Spends an Afternoon Behind the Scenes. Miss Nellie Ornaldi is a vaudeville artis »nd a member of the Rentz-Santley ' 'Orpheus md Eurydice" combination, which closed its season at Pence opera house last night. esterday she tripped nimbly into thepres- Bnce of Deputy Clerk Daily of the munici pal court and got out a writ of attachment upon the properties of the company, and brought suit against Manager Leavitt to recover §200 salary which she alleged was due and unpaid. Officer Stiles Gray (and I very sedate and proper gentleman he is), terved the papers and took possession of die property. He sat behind the scenes luring the matinee performance and looked with utter amazement upon the frisky va riety girls, clad in their scant costumes and lushings. "It does beat all," he soliloquized. "How an these giddy girls face an audience in those long stockings?" f";;" Afterward being asked if he saw . any thing that would tend to corrupt his morals, le replied: "No; but they did look awfully tempt ■ ing." ■■ ':,■. ■•:■; ■■■-,'. : ■ ■ . •••• ■ Manager Leavitt j states \ that - the • 3200 vill be promptly forthcoming. CEDAR BLOCK IMBROGLIO. ho Council Committee Has a Lively meeting- Before Which Can ney's Attorney Orates. The troubles of the .cedar block paving jontracts were renewed j before the council jommittee yesterday afternoon. ! Attorney Welch appeared for ■-. Contactor Can aey and addressed • the. ; committee. He had statements: made by parties who, he alleged, were experts re • garding the condition of the materials being jsed and in regard to the workmanlike manner in which the job is being done. Mr. Kinker stated that he had received a note from the inspector /. in \ which he ac . knowledged that the work was being done in a better manner than before. FULLY AS GOOD AS BEFORE. .[ A. W. Cole, as a lumberman, stated that he was satisfied that the work being done this year is fully as good as that done , here tofore, and that the cedar blocks are | fully as good. He did not know where the cedar grew, however. Mr. Canney had no ob jection to the . inspector. He would not ask to have him removed. All he asked ' for was fair treatment for his hands. ,' He did not like to have the inspector talking and arguing with the workmen. <- AX INTERESTING DIALOGUE. Engineer Rinker stated that there had been materials used which were not up to the specifications. Some of the blocks were very poor. * Mr. Welch— Did you ever know of a con tract performed literally? ■.'"'• i "Rinker— That has nothing to do with this contract. Welsh— you require is a substantial compliance with the specifications, is it not? Rinker— that would be satisfactory. When tins contract was let it was with a view of Retting the very best materials. We had experience the two previous vein's and it was our intention to profit by the expe rience. We found that the ' generality of Michigan blocks are better than the gener ality of Minnesota "blocks. I presume,' however, .that the cedar grown' in the west ern part of Michigan is inferior^ Two gen tlemen came into my office and said that they had sold Mr. Canney 1 a large amount of cedar from their : mills at Ashland, Ol think that about 90 per cent, of Cariney's cedar is from Wisconsin. ' This, however, Mr. Canney denied. - At this juncture, j the committee went into executive session, 1 and a • warm debate was kept up until after 0 o'clobk. ! It was finally decided to recommend that Mr. Can ney be required to comply strictly ' with the requirements of the specifications of his contract.* -.. REAL, ESTATE TALK. What the Dealer* Say-- A Quiet Week—Some Building Project*; ; '•Real estate is dull this week and there is nothing moving,"- was the answer that gre ted the Glouk at a score of offices yes terday, on its usual weekly rounds. . So it proved, as far as material evidence in the | way of recent sales of much magnitude is concerned. The dealers, however, seemed to maintain a cheerful aspect, and confi dently claimed that the present year is much better than ISS4. "Ihave never seen more money ready for investment in Minneapolis dirt than there is this spring," said j W. W. Price, at Gale & Co"s. '-Another j thing, there is a great deal ' of money here from the outside. It's rather hard to sell to these parties, for they came here prepared to find us hard-up and ready to sell at a sacrifice. They are find ing out their mistake, and when they, in vestigate and see upon what a solid basis Minneapolis stands they are ready for in vestment."' This statement was corrob orated by several of the largest dealers in the city. V "So they say business is dull, do they?" said James McMullen of H. O. Hamiln & Co. "Well, I don't know what you call dull. We have closed out 5200,000 worth of property within thirty days and have all we can do." ■ The park commission has purchased Cole & Weeks' rearrangement of lots I and J, J. S. Johnson's addition, lying at the cor ner of Hennepin and Seventeenth street. The price is understood to be §50,000. r< . *** "Just as soon as the King-Remington suit is settled I intend to build from twelve to fifteen houses in the rearrangement of the fifth division of Remington park, cost ing from Si. ooo to $2,000 apiece," said James E. Merrill yesterday. "I have sold all the lots there that I care to dispose of at present, and shall now give my atten tion to improving the remainder." - ' *** The total .of the considerations of the deeds filed with the register of deeds | last week, while considerably smaller than of the preceding week, was considerably above the $300,000 average.

A startling rumor gained currency yester day that a little five-year-old girl had been outrageously assaulted by a fiend in human shape. A search in the locality specified developed the fact that Mathias Borgi's lit tle girl was playing near her home on the corner of Monroe and Summer street on the East side a day or two since, when a well dressed man came along and attempted to entice the little child into a water closet, but the girl becoming frightened at his ap pearance ran away. It is reported that the man has frequently been seen hanging about the premises, and now the father with blood in his eye is lying in wait. The police have been given his description and are looking tor him. JII\SEAVOMS PERSONALS. C. S. Gilbert, Bozeraan, is at the West. Len B. Merrill and wife of Ottumwa are at the Nicollet. Thomas F.

Ingeraoll's Characteristic Lecture at the Minneapolis Grand Opera House. An Eloquent and Blasphemous Effort, Stinging With Sarcasm and Glowing With Word Beauty. The Liuue of llldlcule Leveled at All Kinds of Religion and Super stition. A Denunciation of All God's Who Are Depicted Cruel, Savage and Cnjust. Col. Robert G. lugersoll, the silver tongued orator, successful advocate and famous agnostic, arrived in Minneapolis yesterday afternoon. He was accompanied by A. N. Baker, his business manager, and by Miss Maud, his youngest daughter, a pleasing and accomplished young lady, yet in her teens. The party drove to the West hotel, and after a late dinner the colonel retired to his room on the second floor and was invisible until the hour for the lecture. About dusk a Globe reporter was admitted to the room and found the distinguished infidel up to his elbows in interviews. It is one of his invariable rules when visited by a newspa per searcher for truth to conduct the "con versation' 1 strictly in writing. The newspa per man who wants to get the colonel must know exactly what he wants and have his questions succinctly stated, whereupon the interviewed reads them and appends his an swers or strikes out the question, as the case may be. Since his last visit here Col. Ingersoll has changed but little. His large, round and closely-cropped head shows a few more streaks of silver, and perhaps a couple of 'stone have been added to his weight, but otherwise he is unchanged. Not even the overthrow of the party of his love has taken from his eye its merry twinkle or added another to the few wrinkles that outline the character in his face. He said he had nothing new in the line of an interview to give, but offered, with cheerful resignation, to answer a few of the old stereotyped questions, if written, such as: What do you think of Cleveland's administration. What has been the latest attack on you? Where do you find the most liberalism? What is your opinion of Beecher, Talmage and other leading min isters? And these, he remarked, are always and invariably shoved at him wherever he goes. At 8:15 o'clock the Grand opera house was packed to its utmost capacity to hear him in his latest theme, Which Way? It was a fairly representative audience and in cluded an unusually large number of ladies. The lecturer appeared unattended and at once, without introduction, launched into his subject. For the first ten minutes the audience was quiet and expectant, but after the ice was broken by the first hearty laugh, the house was kept in a perfect up roar and the lecture was punctured by al ternated laughter and applause. For two and a half hours Col. Ingersoll talked, banging away at the Old Testament and re ligious belief in his old familiar way. What he said was in substance as follows: THE LECTURE. It is the Imagination of most people that their belief is the one essential thing in this world; and that unless a man agress with them in what they please to call the essen tials he must necessarily be a bad man in thai he denies what they are certain is true. And the less a man knows the more he is certain that if he denies he is actuated by the worst of motives. Now in what little I have read and experienced I have found that belief does not dominate the character. Some men who have believed in their re ligion have been very bad men. Some men who have worshiped our God have been very far from respectable. The religion ists of other countries have not all been good. The gentlemen who made Socrates drink hemlock were all believers in God. The men who crucified, according to the Christian religion, the one sinless being who ever touched this globe, were believers and worshipers of our God. The gentle men who founded the inquisition — who in vented and used INSTRUMENTS OE TORTURE, who built prisons for the body and dun geons for the mind, were worshipers of and believers in our God and religion. Ac cording to the Bible the devil is a believer: and the only influence it has had upon his moral character — or the only influence it has had upon him is, according to the Bible, that he trembled. But the belief has never made him any better. You see, after all, there is no reforming power in fear. You may scare a person so badly that he will not do a certain thing; but you cannot frighten him to that degree that he will not want to. [Laughter.] On the other hand, some of the best men who have ever lived have been unbelievers. Some of the great est men in the history of this world have held in supreme contempt THE SUPERSTITIONS OF MANKIND. The greatest produced by Rome laughed at the Roman gods. And the greatest of Christendom have not been believers; and the leaders of the intellectual hosts of this world to-night are not, believers in what we call the Christian religion. Bruno, the martyr, was not a believer; Humboldt, the greatest of naturalists, was not a believer; Darwin, the greatest man produced by the nineteenth century — and this century will be known as "Darwin's century" long after every minister who has ever answered him will have been forgotten— he was not a be liever, but lie was an honest man. And I cannot convince myself that there is in the infinite expanse of this universe a God who who will punish any human being for the expression of his honest thought. WE HAVE BEEN" TAUGHT that it was a crime to differ from the religious majority. There is a reason in nature for that doctrine. There was a time when man believed that the heavens were filled with gods; and all these gwLs were extremely quick-tempered. Barbarianism is egotistic. And the less a man knows the more important he thinks he is. Conse quently, when one of our forefathers saw an eclipse he said, "That means me." When some vagrant comet shot through the sky, distributing pestilence from its horrid train, he said, "I have done something, or my neighbor has done something — probably my neighbor— but all this has been brought about by myself." Or when the lightning leaped from the cloud and left its blackened mark upon the bosom of wife or child he thought he had enraged some god. So, to THE POOR BARBARIAN, everything happened in reference to man. And yet such is my doctrine that I believe if everybody in the world was dead, if no human being existed, the sun would rise to morrow, the world would turn and pursue its flight on the old ac customed axis; time would repeat the per petual poem of the year; the violets would spread their velvet blossoms to the day; the spendthrift roses give their perfume to the air: the seasons would come and go, the rain would fall in pleasant showers; light would hang its seven-hued banners on cata ract and cloud; spring, with deft and un seen hands, would weave • the tapestries of green; autumn would reap the wealth of leaf and seed; winter, the artist, would still etch in frost the pines and ferns he loves so well; while wind and wave and fire, old architects, would still destroy and build and change; and the stars would look down as serenely as though it were filled with happy homes. Take fear away and what we call orthodox religion, of course, WILL CKAHE TO KXIST. Have we got the right God ourselves? and Is the God that we have the rightful Governor of mankind? Now above all the gods that man has made there may be an infinite be ing. I don't know. You have no idea how little I know on the God question, and yet I know as much as the aggregate — and that is nothing. And if there was any other word that expressed less than noth ing, I would use it. I know as little as the smallest insect that ever fanned with happy wings the sunshine of a moment. And yet there may be above all an infinite being. Ido not know. And if there be I am not talking about Him. I am talking about our God; the Jehovah of the Jews and the God of the orthodox religionists. Now who is He? Let us have the courage to examine the question. Let us do it with kindness. WHO IS OUB GOD? Is this world a theocracy or a democracy? Is this world a tyranny, or have we lived in this world to a government republican in its form? Does the right to govern come from the clouds — from the God we bor rowed from the Jews; or does the right to govern mankind spring from the consent of the governed? The best test of a man is, how does he use power? How does he treat his wife? Is he a tyrant at home? How does he treat his little children? Does he raise them by brute force? How does he treat his creditors? How doe 9 he treat his debtors? How does he treat the servant that labors for him? How does he treat the poor dog that lovingly follows his footsteps? That is the measure. How does he use his power? Does he use it to increase the sun shine of human happiness? Does he fill his home with light, with TIIE RIPPLE OF LAUGHTER from the red lips of joy? How does he treat his inferior? Does he f awn and cringe before the man who is above him, and then make some poor wretch below him fawn and cringe to make things even? That is the test of character. Now by that standard let us measure our God. Would a good God, endeavoring to civilize his children, appeal to the highest or the lowest in their nature? Would he appeal to prejudice, the sword and shield of ignorance? Would he appeal to credulity, the ring of the priest in the led nose of stu pidity? Would he appeal to reason — reason that carries with brave hand the torch throughout the darkness of the world? Would he appeal to the love of liberty, to the love of wife and child and country and humanity? Would a good God want blood or gratitude? And our God said to the first woman WHOSE BEAUTY EXRICHED THE AIR of this world, and whose tenderness has given all there is of joy to this life, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrows." Think of a God wishing to multiply the sorrows of a woman. "In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children." Think of a God who would place the penalty of perpetual pain on hu man love; upon motherhood! If there is anything in this earth absolutely pure, anything standing for purity, it is a mother with her child in her happy and loving arms. Do you know— no matte r what the result may be to me — I never will bow my knee to any God who will multiply the sor rows of mothers? After taking the commandments one by one and showing from his standpoint their inconsistencies, he substituted others from his own fertile imagination as being-more in accordance with the BEAUTY AND CHABACTER of a divine being. He thought iliat the people of the world had got hold of the wrong God. He pictured the narrow road to heaven and people going in single file. They could not stop to pick up a flower in the pathway for fear a serpent lay coiled underneath. They could not look behind to see if their wife or dear ones were with them, or those they had known as friends or companions. They must pursue the narrow track to be with the angels. He preferred to be with people he knew some thing about. Angels might not like him and he might not like the angels. I am going the broad road. Broad enough for wife; broad enough so that you can hold your children by the hand; broad enough for your friends; broad enough for your enemies. I would rather be annihi lated than to sit at the right hand of God forever, with my worst enemy doomed to eternal pain. I would rather be annihi lated than to sit at the right hand of Jesus Christ with my wife and LITTLE ONES IX HELL. When Jesus was on earth and half a man he sympathized with humanity, but now that he is in heaven he would doom us to everlasting punishment. It is a bad thing to get into office. On the broad road, where you can see the sunny fields, hear the brooks, seethe clouds, broad enough for all there is of art and music; broad enough for the drama; broad enough to include every home, every lather, every mother and child. The broad road, as we travel along, let us crowd between the dawn and dusk of each day all the love we can. This great world — this orange tree, where you find bud and blossom, ripening and ripened fruit, for every orange is a life — LET ITS SQUEEZE IT DRY, so that when death comes we can smilingly say, "you are welcome to the peel." Let us go out of it when we can. And the best religion, it seems to me, in the world is this, that every man make up his mind to make a little heaven here for himself, for his wife, for his children. Let him cultivate tenderness and kindness; let him cultivate courage, and above all, the love of human liberty. Without that we are simply savages. To-day I visited your cemetery, and a beautiful spot it is, and as I passed among gay blossoms and plashing fountains, glancing at stately monument or humble headstone, each bear ing its testimony of AN HONEST LIFE fitly ended, I thought of the hundreds sleeping all about me. I thought of the busy man of affairs, the humble toiler, the pioneer, the mothers of babes, who had laid aside life's joys with its burdens, and I questioned myself if it can be possible that intelligent human beinga here in America can believe in a God that would dam four fifths of this silent multitude because of the disblief in some miserable religion — some petty creed born of ignorance and supersti tion. Don't you see that it is savage, that it is brutal, that it is horrible! And let me say to-night, for fear that you will mis understand my spirit, I know enough to be satisfied that every man does as he must. THAT MAKES ME CHARITABLE. That is the hope of the few; we will finally find how to cultivate this field called the world, so that we will raise only good men and good women. But why Iso hate cer tain forms of superstition is because they have broken so many human hearts. That is why I object. Why, think about it! Look back! Think of what has been! Think of what man has clone to defend himself from the gods that he has made. I look. In gloomy caves 1 see the sacred serpents coiled, waiting for their sacrificial prey. I see their open jaws,, their restless tongues, their glittering eyes, their cruel fangs. I see them seize and crash in many horrid folds children thrown by weep ing parents to appease an imaginary ser pent god. I look again. I see temples wrought of stone; I see ALTARS RED WITH HUMAN 81-OOD; I see priests thrust knjves into the white breasts of girls; I see other temples and other altars where flames devour the flesh of babes. I look again. I see other temples, other priests, other altars dripping with the blood of oxen, lambs and doves. I look again and I see other temples, other priests and other altars whereon are sacrificed the liber ties of man; I see the cathedrals of God, the huts and hovels of peasants; I see the robes of priests and kings; I see the rags of honest men. I see a world at war — the lovers of God are the destroyers of their fellow men; I see the noblest and the best in chains— millions of exiles, outcasts, wanderers, widows, or phans; I see the instruments of torture; I see them used; I hear the moans of millions dead; I see science ah outcast, liberty hi chains, EVERY CRIME A VIRTUE, every virtue a crime; I see the faggot's flame, the prison's gloom; I see iutelli gence despised, stupidity sainted, hy pocrisy crowned, the white forehead of honor wearing the brand of shame, and, bending above the poor earth, religion's night without a star. This was. I look again, and in the east of hope the first pale light, shed by the herald star, gives promise of another dawn. From the sislies and the blood, the countless heroes leap to avenge the past, to bless the future. The highest peaks are TOUCHED WITH HOLY LIGHT. I see the world again at war — and in the chaos of the deadly strife thrones fall, altars crumble. The dawn has blossomed. It is day. I see discoverers sailing unknown seas; inventors cunningly enslave the blind forces of* the world. Schools are built; teachers take the place of priests. Philoso phers arise; lips grow rich with words of truth; men wipe from their knees the dust of superstition. This is. What shall be? The kings and popes are dead. Altars and thrones have mingled with the common dust. A new religion SHEDS ITS HALO OX MANKIND. It is the religion of this world; the gospel of health. The evangel of peace and joy; the religion of Humanity. I see a world where labor reaps its true reward, a world without prisons, without jails, without asylums; a world on which the gibbet's cursed shadow does not fall; a world where the poor girl, trying to make a living by the needle, that has been called the a9p lor the breast of the poor. is not driven to the des perate choice of sin or death, of suicide or shame. I see a world without the beggar's outstretched palm; without the miser's stony, heartless stare; without the livid lips of lies; without the cruel eyes of scorn. I see a race without disease of flesh or brain — shapely and fair, the married harmony of form and function. And while I look life lengthens, love deepens, joy intensifies, fear dies. Liberty at last is God. Heaven is here. Humanity is the only religion. V AN EXPLODED SENSATION. LAn Answer front it. 11.

Kelly and myself, on which: the Pioneer Press has built such a political air castle, does not exist save in the minds of those who are ever ready to seek the honors of political prophets by discovering what may happen. In this instance at least it is built upon a foundation which crumbled away when Mr. Kelly, in reply to an inter viewer, said: "It is a lie," So do lin this communication reply to the matter. In re gard to other statements which : peculiarly concern myself, ; permit me to . • say ; that '; I have found Mr. P. H.

If any one can show where I have ever brought politics ' inside the walls of a labor organization I will plead guilty to. 1 the charge of the alleged combination; but until it is so shown I 1 allow my associ ates in the organizations to judge. While lam in favor of political action by the workingmen, and \ believe that without |it they can accomplish little that is of perma nent benefit, 1 am not content to have that opinion warped into a political deal to prej udice them against me and • spread dissen sion.
