2.. SAINT PAUL. CHIT CHAT CORNER. ji The hotel corriddra are -metumoi \f phosed on the Sabbath; day, and the solid men of finance, the retired mer :.-; chants and -the prosperous, "well-fed • men of the world, who like to drop in of j an evening and talk over the events of '.the day to the seductive accompaniment "of a good cigar, are replaced by society devotees, youthful aspirants for bo hemiaii fame and clerks, who lounge around. assume an air of proprietor •"' ship and tilt up the 'cuspidors. These young men are allowed freedom on the seventh day about tiie hotels, and are permitted to occupy the eligible chairs In the oflice lor the same reason that poor children are permitted to vocifer ously ring the bell of empty houses. The corridor of the .Merchants is well filled durum' Sunday afternoon, and is the favorite resort for local politicians, who sagely set up the pins, indulge in Impossible prognostications and ever and anon adjourn to the. annex for liquid refreshments. At the Ryan, before the sun has pissed over the bailiwick en route for Minneapolis, the lobby is well nigh de sert d. But when the electric light has supplanted the garish light of day breathing space is at a premium, and the guests of the hotel stand around and enviously glare at the imported talent whose sealing capacity is only exceeded by the mastodonic non chalance with which they deposit their precious bodies in all the available nooks and corners of the rotunda. Porter Fraker loves to surround him self with admiring constituents and talk about his triumphs on the amateur stage when' he trod the boards in Chicago. Frank Tatnall starts his letter to Sporting Lite every Sunday evening, but gets tired before completing the in troduction, am!, wh'stling for nis edu cated dog "Major," goes to bed. Sam Gilbert, tall and theatrical-look ing, assumes an air of deep meditation, and communes .with himself in the cen ter of the rotunda, ('. B. Eccles escorts a new pair of trousers down stieet every Sunday evening and treats Himself to afresh cigar before leaving an aching viod in his wake. j;. E. Ryder is another well-dressed young man who bolus down a chair at the It van . Willie Hanson has a liebt moustache which is just' t<o cute. He twirls it with incomparable grace as he chats with hotel acquaintances^ John Prince mops iv but seldom, and makes a speedy exit in the O. P. corner. Ed Scribner talks in a quiet and confi dential manner as lie leans gracefully against the counter. . Auditor 31. F. Kain likes to smoke a cigar in the corridor -after dinner. Baz Armstrong has been known to drop in and exchange civilities with Lute Cafferty. ''There is but little demand for beef tea," said the superintendent of fire works last evening, as he placed the olives out of reach; "it is a little early in the sea.-( 11, and then again it is com paratively a new fad. Once in a while a. man- who has beer, out all night comes in and takes a nip, and then again we gel a party in who drinks glass after glass of it. Blase young young men about town require a bracer, but neither beef lea nor clam juice will ever be popular." for they are r both passing fancies, just like that hat you have ou. which you know was all the rage .three years ago last spring." .Vnd the manwith the white apron deftly added up a column of figures, as a : seedy-looking individual ambled for the - door. • Adjutant General Seeley was the re cipient Saturday of a somewhat unique communication from a person' signing himself T. Schritt. Mr. .Seeley has not the faintest conception of the individ ual, who writes: "Pleas bie in Man kato on Fridy beeos i am ther then." This is only a sample of the many strange requests made upon the capitol official. Recently a man entered the office of tne. secretary of state, and stated that he had only been in the country a few. weeks. After securing some envelopes and paper to write home, lie startled the obliging official by requesting the lean of a few dollars. * * * A party of Canadian Pacific officials, consisting of President W. C. Van Home, Directors P. B. Augus, E. B. Olsen, .1. W. Kilswortli and Private Secretary -George J. Burg, reached St. Paul from Duiuth last evening. The parly left Montreal last Tuesday, and journeyed by daylight over the Can adian Pacific to Sauit Ste. Marie, going from there to Duluth and thence to St. Paul. They will leave for Montreal this evening. * * Col. Parr, of the cable line, states that there is no intention on the part of the company of erecting a shed over the in cline at'Selby avenue. "It would be injudicious to attempt such a thing,", said the genial manager, "for some in ebriated individual would want to drive his team under the shelter thus afford-: ed and attempt an ascent cf the hill. The company is compelled to keep two men at that point, and they can attend to clearing the tracks of snow and ice. We had an experience last winter with a man who persisted in driving his horse up the hill in the center of the track, and of course the runners of the sleigh went down in the slot. After considerable trouble the equipage was extricated, and we do not propose to place further temptations in the way of owners of horseflesh." CHEMICALS CAUSE A BLAZE. litres Which Kept the Department gßjg| Busy. Fire was discovered last evening in Mussetter's drug store, corner Wabasha and Third streets, and only a prompt 7 arrival of the department prevented a conflagration. The fire, which probably resulted from spontaneous combustion, was confined to the chemical room in the rear of the building. The damage to stock and fixtures was estimated by the proprietor at *:;o<>. A frame dwelling at 236 Chestnut street, owned and occupied by George Higgins. was badly scorched by fire about 7 o'clock last evening. The blaze originated from an overheated stove pipe in the attic, and the upper story and contents were destroyed before the 'flames were subdued. The damage to building and contents was about ' $200; insurance, £500. *• A BIRTHDAY PARTY. Surprised by His Friends, But Equal to an Emergency. A number of young people met last evening at the residence of David Marx, 686 Canada street, to celebrate the nine teenth birthday of Benjamin Marx, the party being a surprise to the recipient. The parlors were neatly decorated with ilowers, and the guests were pleasantly entertained with music and refresh ments, departing at a late hour with a pleasant "remembrance of the 'event. Among those present were: From St. Paul— Misses Mock. Morgernslcrn,Levy, . • -Rothschild, Bice, |Krone, Frank, Hess, Bergman, Bergteld, Harris, Wirth, Lowenbcrg; Messrs. Levy, Kaichen.

A MINISTER'S ERROR. Rev. W. S. Vail Pays His Re spects to a Minneapolis^ . Divine. » - ) A Recent Novel Furnishes a Theme for an Able Dis- ] ' course. Miracles No Greater Wonder Than the Invention of the ; Telephone. \.l""'" ; : Progress of the Age Fore shadowed Half a Century \ - A3ro.--- ; ''---' :: ' r - ; j. A scholarly, outspoken and instruct ive sermon .'was delivered by Rev. W. S. Vail yesterday morning. Mr. Vaii is pastor of the Universalis! society which meets in the People's theater, There. was a large attendance to hear the dis course announced, '"Robert "Elsmere-r- His Religious Struggles,'' and the great est interest was manifested fas'* to ' the .manner in which the matter would be treated. Robert Elsmere is the book of Mrs. Humphrey Ward which has, within the present year, obtained a world-wide notoriety. The book is under, the ban of religious fanatics in> "England and this country, but for all that it has had, and is continuing to have, an enormous sale. Mrs. Ward is the daughter of an Oxford professor, and a descendant of Thomas Arnold, of Rugby fame; The character aid scope of her book are clearly outlined iv the utterances of a r. Vail, who prefaced his address by stating that when Dean Stanley was in this country several years : ago he gave a number of lectures to young men iii the colleges, and one of the things he said was: "If you desire to under stand anything put it in its historic connection." "When we come" to look at this book which has made" so pro found an impression upon our time." remarked ii* clergyman,"' "we r must not take it into St. Paul and the state of Minnesota, and cut golf all connection with anything outside. If we ..do we shall undoubtedly miss the" main facts of its leading thoughts and ..embodi ments. When, we turn our eyes to • • ROME STRUGGLE OK MEN we find it enwrapped by what dramatic critics call the enveloping cause. So it is with this book. It is not a book to be looked at by itself, but in connection with its encirclihg .and enveloping actions, and he who fails to understand these will fail to understand the true aim and nature of the work. This book is part of a great movement of Almighty God. Whitfield went out and preached entirely from the emotional side of man's nature. Standing in the fields within sound of the birds' sweet notes, where the corn wreaths played beside him ami made sweet music, he swayed with his single voice ten, fifteen and twenty thousand people, and- swayed treat multitudes as the wheat field is swayed by the summer wind, it was a movement that found quick response. He swept all England, together with John Wesley, as the tornado sweeps the prairies." M. Vail instanced other intellectual works, and predicted that those of Prof*. Thomas H. Green ("Henry Cray"), who, until after his death, was unknown save to a little circle of students, would fifty years hence raise him to a high niche 'among the world's most famous men. We are to-day in the midst of a great intellect ual movement, because God has seen lit to make one of those epochs that are to be AVUITTEX DOWN IN i HISTORY. About the year 1830 there began one of the world's ' greatest- intellectual efforts. Prof. John Coalcs, in examin ing this question, has pointed out most clearly the fact that nearly all our pres ent Knowledge has been rewritten since the year It 30. Prof. Freeman lias further pointed out that nearly all the historians who have standing at the present day have changed t eir meth ods of work since 1830. A new litera ture of history has been written since then. In every directional) criticism, philosophy, development, exposition— everything of the kind has been changed; since that time. Prof. Huxley, with that gigantic grasp of facts for which he: is noted, has written an- elaborate re view of history, .science and philosophy, in the past fifty years. God chose that year— lß3o— as the beginning of this movement. It is going on, and we feel the influence of it. That movement; commenced with the great universities, and Oxford university was the seat of much of its power, and a vast amountof. its radiating influence that has been felt, more or Jess, to the most distant parts of the civilized world. To read liobert Elsmere you must have some knowledge of this great- Oxford move ment. It was begun and carried on in two directions. On the one side, tradi tional faith, it was carried on by Cardinal i John Henry Newman and on the other by Prof. Thomas Arnold. There are '■■ several characters in the book, but there are three in whom we are the ologically interested. They are Cather ine, the squire and Kobert Elsmere. They are not characters built out of the imagination, but are the results of a: great movement, ideas rather than peo ple. The first we will turn our atten tion to is Catherine. Her form and per sonal appearance is an. index to her character. Tall aud slender,"as grace ful as ?'••'. iX,:] Till: ASPEN OF THE FOREST, imbued with great physical endur ance— a person who is entirely self-pos sessed, so that she can go I in j without tremor and tell a man that he must die the next day and prepare himself to meet God; a person who never allowed herself under any circumstances to lose the complete mastery of her feeling, emotion and thought. She embodied [two ideas:. First. the Puritan idea of what a religious per son should be, together with that High church idea developed by; Cardinal Newman. She . .never sus pected that anybody else could be right; she never thought for a moment that she could be wrong. She held a certain opinion, and to that opinion she stood as the slender rock stands breasting the waves of the sea. There a great many people who believe just that way. Last; Sunday the most popular minister in Minneapolis said to a body of young men: "For God's sake don't read that book, because it will shako your faith. Don't examine it. because, it wiii knock j. you to pieces." Oh, dear, I pity the - man who cannot read anything outside' of what he believes. ln this nineteenth j "century such advice is very poor. ; I understand that Monday morning three; of the young men spoken to went to a; store . and purchased the book/ If it was so positively dangerous and at tractive, they thought they must read? it. Newman and his '.movement was either right, or it was wrong. -If"he was risht," then he "" was consistent. For certainly for forty-one years he has lived out the very idea he! preached and taught at Oxtord.; It is either right to have social enjoyments, to play with your children, to take part j in their games, to go into your neigh-, bors' houses, to set down and play games with them, or else it is abso lutely .wrong. It is cither right to use the world without abusing it, or else it! is wrong. A sharp distinction must be drawn "at this ; point. I am told we should hot gO to the theater, or .'the j opera house, or take part in any enjoy ments; and yet in the. very place where \ I amjold this they are building vestries, j with parlors and places for " SEASONABLE KINDS OF AMI.'SEMEN'T. j • I undertake to say that Cardinal New- j man and Catherine Elsmere r were both, wrong ;Uhey, both had gone to an - ex-; I reme and held an • idea -that was not' comprehensive aud in a certain way not in the highest sense .religion; The : ex- < i perience jof - the -, world - tells us That j pioncr amusements and society area ■ he! 6 to - us,' : and y .that if there 'is! anything^ wrong wo are- to try and THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: MONpAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 19, 1888. - make it right.: The amusement will take . care ;of itself ;if the * company is high-minded, pure and - good. 'Another development of this great movement is .embodied in the squire. Squire .Wend , over was a ; literary man, who was all head and- no" heart— a man who lived with his books. In .. his ■ great library, with its oaken walls and bookcases," he was brought . up. and. lived* with the .mighty minds of the past. He ; disbe lieved in man, God, churches— ■ lieved in everything. ; He believed that the wo rip was made up of a set of fools, and that it was his • business knock the. nonsense out of * their heads. But you must be lenient with the squire; he is not responsible, for himself. His po sition is thoroughly explained when he • said: "1 was with Newman in '45." He was a man of . strong intellect, and he undertook to kill his human in stincts. The consequence : was that his intellect was strained a little too much, and he felt there was no inconsistency there, and the mind came down with a rebound and he threw, overboard the whole thing. Churches are complaining about Koberi Ingersoll. about the harm he is doing. 1 would like to know if a particular church did not produce Rob ert Ingersoll? Certainly he was brought up in a Christian household,'; and so straighted up when a young man that it caused.the mind to rebound, and then the. whole thing went overboard. The conservative churches are to-day doing that." "-•After pointing out tnat they should be less rigid In their creeds and doc trines, Mr. Vail continued: "The last embodiment is. Robert Elsmere. He is one of the thousands of thousands of men who, in this age of - advancement and these times when science has been flooding the world with new light, when literature has been carried everywhere by cliean books and papers, when re views have opened their pages to the discussion of this great . question, and hundreds of men who are not attend ants at churches are reading the works of t..eir opponents, who are trying to solve the questions which beset them. The first one is the question of mira cles. It is fair to ask the man who stands in the pulpit if there is such a thing as the . ;.. - . ' POSSIBILITY OF AMIR ACI/B - if modern science and intelligence has not overthrown that theory. If a miracle means continued interference with the iaws of ..nature, that God does not rule the world by law, but in a certain sense capriciously, then I say a miracle is im possible. The idea of constant and continued interference has been done away with by our present knowledge. 1 think that idea is growing with every body—that reading men have con . eluded that we nave a Father who iSendeth His rain 'upon the just and the unjust.' and lets His- sun 'shine upon the evil and the good.' I think this age has taught that God is impartial." Mr. Vail intorduced illustrations of the marvelous inventions of this age, such as the telephone, - which hundreds of years ago would have been regarded as a miracle. "And so in that sense I look at this great question of miracles. Why may not Christ have done things .by a law out of my knowledge, and yet just as simple when i come to under stand it as the talking of two men by telephone? When we lift men into the higher realms where miracles are being performed around us, we .are not to break ourselves away upon this question of miracles. The squire was right in saying that certain things furnished a key to an age, and by this key we could unlock the meaning of whatever pro ductions came to us from them. But no man can take away from the. tradi tions that may have crept in concerning the Bible anything more than the ex crescences. There may be things in the Second Epistle of Peter that were tradi tional and were put in by the scribes who made tne copy. I think there are. The book of How iatioii is an interpola tion and has no right in the New Testa ment. It has already been found that Solomon's Song has no more right-in the Bible than the books of the Apocrypha. It has also been decided by scholars that the book of Jonah is a parable, and that the book of Job is apocryphal; but the book of Job stands to-day a greater book than it ever stood before. There may be a barnacle on the ship, but its timber is as sound as ever. The princi ples of Christ— love and human kindness —that element of hope in a future life, belief in the divine presence of God and the human heart, will ever remain with men as they ever have." .",.., *.*. MILLIONS OF FISHES. Gratifying iiesults From the Work of the Fish Commission. 'T put in Sunday inspecting the state fish hatchery at Pig's Eye." said New ton Simmons, of the United States fish' commission, who is in charge of a party, making a distributing trip throughout : the Northwest, "and was not only sur prised, but very much pleased with the -facilities, afforded for •hatching fish. One great advantange possessed by the Minnesota hatchery is its contiguity to numerous small springs, which are ab solutely indispensable for work of this kind. There is not a better location in the United States, and it is particuiipky adapted to the breeding of trout, of' which there is a large supply on hand. California and brook trout, whitefish and wall-eyed pike are also distributed in large numbers. from this ; point, and the s< ason has been a very successful one. **SBP '■■.'., ."At Washington. D. C, which is the central station of the fish commission, -special attention is paid to breeding shad, and at Havre de Grace, on the Susquehanna, this is also a prominent feature. Millions of shad have already been distributed from these two sta tions, the greater portion of which were sent to California for the purpose of stocking the Sacramento river. Ten years ago there was not a shad in this river, but now they abound in shoals and have demonstrated the correctness of the theory that lish will instinctively return to the place where the spawn was first placed. They will hatch out in from two to four days after being re leased from captivity in the spring, and by fall they attain a length of from four to six inches. They make their way to the ocean, where they remain until matured, say. about three years from the time they were first - . PLACED IX TIIK WATER. "Naturally, they seek fresh water to deposit their spawn, and in this way the Sacramento river has been stocked with an edible and delicately flavored j fish. There ate different seasons for de- j positing fish in the rivers, and the latter I part of this month the trout will be. in condition to be deposited in their : future homes. Then it will be time for whitefish. and in the spring shad; will be the feature of our work. , "Last summer a carload of shad , was sent out to Salt Lake and deposited lin ; one of the streams emptying into that body of water, but it will, of, course, be some time before any practical results j will be obtained. The northern por tions of Wisconsin, Michigan and ■ Minnesota ' are admirably 'adapted to " trout - culture on "account "of : the number of springs in those; sections, and at Duluth there '1 is "one of the best whitefish j hatcheries that can be found iii this; country. Satisfactory 'experiments : with trout have been made in Missouri,; and it is the intention of the commis sion to establish a station in the Ozark country as soon as possible; At Woods ..Hall, Mass., the attention of The com- j mission' is devoted mainly to scientific l investigation of the habits and breed- i ing of food fishes, and the latest experi ments have been with codfish. , '"" J I "There are two steamers belonging to ! the '..commission, the Albatross and { Fishhawk;" the former being now ; gaged in explorations along the -Pacific i slope and Alaska, while the B Fishhawk j is, temporarily given up .to the culture of 'sturgeon spawn.

Vari • ety of Foods anil i'reatment.'" 1 : There is no' royal road to success hi producing size and condition;. The se cret, if any, depends upon the judicious' use of a variety of foods as often as the birds have 1 : a good appetite for them. Not the least particle must :be left; about, nor must they. lie fed an instant' longer than a keen relidi demands; the; great point being to give them as much; as they require to assuage the pangs of j hunger, but to leave; off just in time to; make them fancy they "ould eat more in other words, to" i.*'a'}e off wit;: an appetite. The best j>i.,ple food, both for old and young stock, is, undoubtedly. j wheat. Corn, another .very useful food for young stock probably, weight for price, the cheapest food in tin* market, the price \ being- about- 3 shilling and 0 pence per sixty pounds. Oats, ir plump arid sound; ''are r: unequaled .for store j birds. ' : With oats, .'; however ; . weight holds a very important factor, as unless they scale at least ;: thirty-night pounds ! to the bushel they will, be mainly husk: and if very lisrht there will be great waste; Oats may begot weighing forty live pounds 1 to\ the-' bushel, but they are not -very' easy to fin.i. It pays the corn factor ;.; infinitely better to sell the lighter stuff -at -a rather low price. - While -.; oats, -..: weighing forty pounds -to the bushel, are good food both for old and voting birds. Thin barley the birds do not care for, while the best barley, being, mostly taken for malting purposes', is both expensive and difficult to obtain. Ground oats is a most useful food for chickens, if good. But while prize chickens. repay this outlay, 1 consider it too expensive to be profit ably employed \ for- full-grown birds. One thing must be. clearly borne in mind with poultry— .that poor, thin, mouldy tailing are dear .at any price, and often engender disease. Com is by. far .the cheapest, : and it generally is so. in a lar^e yard it may be extensively- used, to the profit of both the pocket and the birds. - IN .Egypt; Some of the Products of That An. cient and Interesting Land. In lSß7the value of exported. products from Egypt was $55,000,000 arid the area under cultivation during the same year .was 5,1)53.754 acres, . but the crops for the year covered over j 7.301,230 .. acres. The reason of this difference is that by the peculiarity of. their seasons they are able to produce more than one crop per year. They have three crop-producing seasons, summer,- winter and l the ' au tumn or season of Nile inundation, and we find. the entire cultivable soil in lower Egypt, or that subjected to the Hoods, produces four crops iv three years,,: while in " upper Egypt the seasons allow but seven "crops in six 'years'.

The Ottumwa World Gives Its Ex- perience, Which Is Not Singular. This week we paid off . that ; cancer • mortgage, and now feel like a glass of soda water. A mortgage is a 7 queer : in stitution. It makes a man rustle, and it keeps him poor. It is a strong incen tive to action, and a wholesome reminder of the fleeting months and years. It. is fully as symbolical in its meaning as the hour-glass and scythe that mean .death. A mortgage also* means ..industry, be cause it is never idle and it never ,-rests. It is like a bosom friend, . iecans»;,the greater the adversity the closer .it sticks to a fellow. It is Like a brave soldier: it never hesitates ;at charges, nor fears to close, iii- on the 'enemy.'. .It is like |. the sandbag V of the ..thug— silent-.' in •> application.:, but: deadly. in effect. It is like the hand of , Providence; if spreads over all creation, and its influence is every where.', visible. It is like the grasp of the devil-fish; The longer its holds the greater its strength. It will exercise feeble . energies ; and lend activity to a sluggish brain, but no matter' how debtors, work. the mortgage works' still : harder,;; A mortgage is, a good. thing to have in the family — pro vided, always, that it is. in- s- some other ' fellow's family. ;V It :is -. like a boil, al ways a good thing , on somebody else. It makes a fellow sour, cross, selfish, unsociable and , miserable, and. rarely does him any good, only $ to" exercise him. In that respect it is equal to vigor life or the latest.. patent. j: medicine. We've had our fast... ope so far. as we know ourself. We would, .rather : '..have the ague than have a mortgage.

': The '.. implement .used was the Buckeye grain drill, with va rious attachments. When the ordinary hoe drill was used the grain /yield was greater than where the shoe drill ; was '.fried. The use of the press with the si'joe drill gave a * larger : .yield . than where • the ■ shoe was used alone. Where the' press attachmeut " was ... added to ; , the hoe . , drill " no gain was perceptible. : The yield from seeding at different depths • was very j uniform, there , being less than three bushels per acre difference between the greatest and the least yield, though. the grain was a little the best from the plot sown two inches deep, and the straw was the strongest: oh .the ..plot sown one inch deep. \ Plot two was laid very hard by rolling eight times with a farm roller, but it did not, benefit the crop. Where straw mulch was applied in varying depths of from three to eighteen inches, only a detriment to the crop ap peared, except where, the .least mulch was used. When the heaviest amount of straw was applied, the wheat was entirely killed. '^X XXi«-XX:: ! S-. ■:-•■. DOMESTIC ALOES. .It Is Claimed That the Mixed Breed Will Be the Coining Animal. Advices from ,Topeka,"Kiaii.,;are that oh Oct. IS "C. J." Jones closed a' contract with parties in Manitoba for the .only herd of domesticated buffaloes of any note, outside of this famous herd, in the world. They were! bought: by parlies in Pennsylvania, and will be brought next month to Garden City ami placed with Mr. Jones' herd.-' The herd- num *bers ninety-one head, including.. eight half-breeds', and the consolidated herds will . number 150 head. The half and three-quarter buffalo is : a - new race of cattle, and Mr. Jones says they. will sur prise the world and be the coming ani mal for robt s and meat, as .they require no,, feed or shelter except" the range. Mr. Jones has completed the organiza tion of a stock company, with a capital of $200,000, which will establish an ex tensive ranch in Finney county for the propagation of buffalo." " * .team-Heated - i avenger Trains "on the New York Central & Hud- son 'River Railroad. : The stove as a means of heating cars on The New York Central & Hudson River raihoad will be entirely abol ished.' . '„ '•; '•" . "" -■:-•: During the past year The officials of the New York Central in charire of its passenger equipment have been actively employed in testing various devices j tor heating ' cars by means of steam j ob tained direct from' the locomotive, and have decided on a system" combining simplicity of construction and manage ment with the most satisfactory results. A two-inch iron steam pipe runs under each of the cars, connection; between the cars being made with a metallic joint and a sleeve. This main pipe connects with a system of pipes inside each car. oue running lengthwise of the car. with branch pipes extending under the seats. At the 'center of each of the interior pipes is a* key T by* which the St&im from the main * pipes can be cut off, thus reducing the temperature of a single car without interfering with that of cars more distant from the locomo tive, which is the source of ; the; steam supply. ■■-■■'■ •-:.•;';/.'!.-;•=; 'X r ?y^ Since the advent of cold -weather all the cars composing the trains known as New York.
