MINNEAPOLIS. NOTE AND COMMENT. The proprietor of the Jumbo says he tv ill close his place as soon as the na tional convention is over.

Pass. It Was One ofthe Batch Taken by Robinson, of Crook ston. Rev. Pleasant Hunter Makes a Gratifying: Impression at Westminster. ; Row on Bohemian Flats—Wil kinson on Moral Develop ment. Friday 11. G. Robinson, the Crookston station agent for the Northern Pacific, was arrested just across the line from Vancouver by a Pinkerton detective. He is wanted for defrauding the North ern Pacific out of over $14,000 worth of mileage tickets and employes' passes. In spite of the fact that it was known that Robinson had disposed of the tick ets, etc., to St. Paul and Minneapolis, scalpers, no clue to them could be found. Conductors and station agents on all the lines were notified to keep a strict watch for them and report at once if any were offered for transportation. A short time ago a Minneapolis alder man wanted to take a trip to the coast, so he visited several of the brokerage offices to ascertain what he could pur chase a ticket for. Gustave T. Mus gang conducted a scalper's oflice in the Nicollet house block, and he offered to sell the alderman an employe's pass over the Northern Pacific road. As the pass seemed to be all right, it being duly made out for John Sell, and the price was cheap, it was purchased, and in good faith presented to the conductor on a through train. The conductor im mediately recognized it as one of the stolen passes, and. after Aid. Haynes bad informed him how it came into his possession, he took it up and sent it back to the general office. In the meantime Musgang sold his office to W. IL Shelley, the former man ager of McKenzie & Frey's scalping establishment, and prepared to go to Duluth. He will not go, however, for some time, for yesterday Inspectors Howard and James Doyle arrested him on a warrant sworn out by the railroad company charging him with forgery. The charge of forgery is based on the supposition that Musgang filled in the names of the officials of the road. It is said that he had a large number of the tick ets and passes stolen by Robinson in his possession, and naturally inferring that he sold them to Shelley the latter gen tleman was also arrested. Musgang was locked up at the central station, but Shelly was taken before Superintendent of Police Henderson and allowed to go his own recognizance. A thorough search will be made of all the scalpers' offices, and if any of the tickets are found the proprietors will be held re sponsible. HUNTER PLEASES 'EM. Westminster Church Members Delighted With Their Possible Pastor. All the local paths led to Westminster church again yesterday. Since the days when gifted and aggressive Pastor Bur rell used to hold torth from West minster's pulpit in prelude and sermon there has not been such a crowd ing of the pews and beseig ing of the doors as yesterday. The attraction was Key. Pleasant Hunter, the New Jersey divine, whom the pastoral committee of the church, after a year of patient searchings among the haunts of man, picked out as the preacher most likely in their judgment to conform to the requirements of the situation and once more restore West minster to its old place of popular prestige among the local churches. Mr. Hunter is not by any means a "dead sure" capture yet, but he came on to size up the held, and the signs seem aus spicious for his coming again and to stay. Judging from yesterday's results the pastoral committee did well to call him. The church was jammed to the doors both morning and evening, and the thundering chorus of the old famil iar hymns could be heard all over the block, it was quite like old times, and even a man with a . wooden eye could see that the people \ were greatly pleased, and if called upon to do it would then and there have ratified the committee's action. Minneapolis peo ple usually know when they have a good thing, and knowing it they make it secure, and then hang on. West minster has surely made a wise choice in Mr. Hunter, and it is to be presumed they will not rest until they have him in their midst with an exclusive fran chise on his preaching. There was a very unanimous sentiment at both meet ings that the church had done well to bide its time in this matter of the selec tion of a pastor. ■ _ Mr. Hunter is not the orator Dr. Burrell is, but he is a deal sight better talker. He is a profounder thinker, more liberal in his theology and has more of the points of the philosopher, In utterance he is rapid and his lan guage is the most simple English imag inable. A plain-speaking, sympathetic man of the people is Mr. Hunter, with a natural eloquence and a depth of thought that show a close study of men and the world they live in and a careful analysis of human experi ence, lt is plain enough that he is not one who is going to split hairs in the ological matters, or affect such classic, scholarly utterance as to stimulate the intellect of his hearers to undue exer tion to keep in line. Practical sermon izing would seem, at this writing, to be Key." Hunter's "long suit," and his ability to set forth the facts of life as an inspiration to more thoroughly live aud practical Christianity his trump card. It seemed to the humble philosopher in the galierv last evening as though be was preaching right at some people in the cushioned pews below, giving them credit for what good they had done, as well as reminding them of what they had not done. Of course Mr. Hunter, being a stranger here, didn't notice it, but there were some famous sleepers who were the very pink of attention, sitting as straight in their pews and eyeing the preacher with an intensity that betokened unusual interest. He preached from the text which ex tolls the man who is faithful in small things. This was the cue to a sermon on faithfulness. The test of greatness was faithfulness, he thought. A man with a record for it was like a good line of goods— always in demand. Sincerity he classed with it. AIMED AT HIS NOSE. Two* Bohemians Fight, and One Has His Lip Cat. There was a row down on the Bohe mian flats about o'clock yesterday aft ernoon, in which a little Bohemian blood was spilled, but no one seriously injured. The family of Anton Tierow gave a party Saturday night.and among other nice things the guests were treat ed with was beer. The guests did such ample justice to the beer that a second installment was ordered, and this was uot finished uutil - yesterday after noon. Naturally, after stowing away such large quantities of the "decocta humuli," everybody felt in a hilarious mood. Dancing was indulged in, and during the afternoon a little fighting. One of the guests, Andrew Tranal, em ployed by the city in the capacity lof sewer digger, and John. Zwicker began disputing over . the „ possession of the affections of a fair, and fat . Bohemian girl. The disputation soon merged into a fight in which Tranal got the worst of p •:- '--'■- THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MORNING, MAY 9, 1892. it. Zwicker pulled a jack-knife from his pocket and slashed away nt Tranal, with Tranal's nose as tho objective: point. He missed the nose, but landed with the blade on Tranal's upper lip, cutting a deep cash clear through to the teeth. Zwicker immediately made himself scarce, while Tranal had the blood stopped and his mouth bandaged up. Al though this broke up the festivities no particular attention was paid to the cutting and no arrests were made. ALL CANNOT BE GOOD. Rev. William Wilkinson Says the Moral Sense Is a Development. Yesterday Rev. William Wilkinson probably surprised some of the persons Who heard him by saying that it is idle, in the present state ot society, to think that every member of the body, social and politic, will be ordinarily decent. "Many of the outcasts of our cities." said he, "are sinned agaiust, at least as much as they sin against our laws, often man-made, and with little of jus tice in them. There are now, set up views of man, of sin, of the power and the immediate effects of saving grace, which do not derive their authority from Holy Scripture, or from the best traditions of the church of God. These views, looked at alone, as ideals, may be all right; but, when they are, made the measure by which every man is to be judged; when men are to stand or fall by them they become a de lusion on one part and a stone of stum bling on the other. A principle may be absolutely true in itself, yet so stated or applied to special, particular cases as to become, in effect, terribly wrong. In our dealings with ourselves, in our intercourse with others, It will save us from a world of mistake and from positive aud cruel injustice, if we keep this constantly in mind. We have to do with men and women as they are, and, by the grace of God, it is the duty, as it is the glory, of the church to assist in making them what they ought to be. Hut she cannot accomplish the result aimed at in a day, or a week, or a year. Time is a factor to be taken into clear consideration in the solution of a prob lem so important, and patience, as well as faith, prayer and labor, must have their perfect work. "For lack of attention to the princi ples laid down grave failure has been the outcome of much work which de served to have been done on proper lines. Many hearts have been made very sad; many plans to lift men out of degradation into noble usefulness have come to naught. The fault was not in the ef fects desired; it was in the way taken to reach it. lt can never be by us seen too vividly or remembered too well that all the mighty changes in nature are slow, gradual, constant and progressive. The ocean changes its bed, the earth its surface, the winter to midsummer, youth to age by imperceptible change. So as a rule it must be in the kingdom of grace. The man who expects the vicious and the bad to hear the gospel, to repent, to be saved and. on the in stant to begin to manifest the grace of character shown in men who, by long life of self-denial,have made holy living a delightful joy is not wise. He is doomed to bitter disappointment tor himself and for others. He places the beginning for the end. The whole race of men have an inheritance of sin in its dire results upon our bodies, minds, souls, lt is seen in a thousand ways in weakness, pain and weariness; in poor thinking, in wicked living. This is known to every physiologist; and every observant man, apart from religion of any kind, knows this grave truth, a truth which is set forth every year with more clearness. The old Hebrew prophet probably spake better than he knew when he said, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge.' We have to do with this law of inheritance of moral yes, and of immoral qualities. "It is not the time fcr me to discuss the justice or wisdom of this state of the facts; but they are around us, be fore us, and in every oue of us. Suffice it to say that the law which trans mits a tendancy to vice, is the same which hands down to generation after generation a love of virtue. 'Yes,' says the theologian, 'but I have to do with another law, that of divine grace as it is manifested in Christ Jesus.' Exactly; but grace has to be made manifest by human agency. The music is heard, and, in this instance, seen, if present, in human lives. We know what they are, at best. It was this fact which made St. Paul declare, Tn me,'— is, in my flesh— 'there dwelleth no good thing;' and that 'we have this treasure (grace) iv earthen vessels that the glory may be of God and not of us.' It is be cause these considerations are too often forgotten that the good sometimes re ceive more esteem than they merit, and the bad more blame— yes, and punish ment—than they deserve. Wickedness is often a disease. If the epithet, wicked can. accurately, be given to such cases. Oliver Wendell Holmes, wrote a paper years ago, to show this, and our very best thinkers, all the world over, understand it now, as a few did theu. This does not do away with the need of salvation, of Christ, or rewards, or of punishments, in genera', any more than the existence of scarlet fever does away with the need of doctors, of nurses, and medicine. There are thousands of men, who, if they, today, should be truly con verted to God. and with all their might should seek to do the will of the Lord, would every hour of their lives feel with dire effect the past in ways it is hard for persons with a better organism understand or appreciate. §§PHI This thought should teach us lessons of charity and give tone and color to all our estimates of men. It should give us strong support in work which other wise would make 'Our whole head sick and our heart faiut.' It is»the glorious duty and mission of the church to de nounce sin, to point to its remedy, and, as the most trenchant motive she can offer against it, to show men, that an all wise maker of the universe has shown that this day's sins lead to our children's sorrows. The law of inherited tendancies ought to make us mindful of living holy lives, and this is the will of God concerning us alt. So should we assist each with power in the develop ment of -.a moral sense which would make for righteousness and be an un told blessing to our descendants in ages yet unborn, and in no mean estimate ad vance the progress of the world. Every pure life, which sees God and walks with htm, is a star in the moral firma ment, the magnitude and influence of which no man knows but all feel, whether they know it or not." CONDITIONAL IMMORTALITY. Rev. H. H. French Says the Bible Does Not Treat It. By request of some of the members of his church, who wished to know what he thought the Bible taught in regard to conditional immortality, Key. 11. H. French spoke yesterday morning on this subject. He accepted the dictum of the de fenders of this doctrine tiiat the Bible is the final authority, but, he thought, all knowledge is not in the Bible. There are four arguments outside or the Bible against conditional immortality. First, the historic argument. From the beginning all men have believed in immortality. Second, the Scientific- Science has nothing to do with begin nings or ends; it has to do with the present. But, as far as its boundary goes, it says nothing is annihilated. Third, the Metaphysicol— The soul is elemental and simple, and hence cannot be disintegrated and annihilated. Fourth— The argument brought out in Burton's analogy, that the soul has gone through so many changes, and still lives, that, no matter what itgoes through, it will live. Those advocating a conditional immortality have a partic ular reasn for basing their argument on Biblical authority, because other argu ments are against them. This sudden adherence to Biblical truth is suspi cious. The first line of Biblical argument re lates to Eden. Others claim Adam lost immortality, but Mr. French held that he lost intimate union and communion with God, which was ; restored . by Jesus Christ. God could never justify the continuance of the race unless he gave all an equal chinee with Adam. He dis cussed the negative terms used by oth ers, such as death, destruction, doom, 1 etc. showed they were used figuratively and also with reference to this life. The prodigal son was not being annihilated when he said, "1 perish with hunger," If life meant immortality, and death destruction, what sense in such expres sions as "eternal destruction" ami an "abundance of immortality." Life and death are co-relative words, and when ever used together don't refer to existence, but state of being. Life is righteousness, and death is unrighteousness. The whole contro- versy arises from confounding existence with eternal life. He found two weak points on Hie other side. First— The vague expression, "capable of immor tality." No one knows what it means. We are either immortal or we are not. Second— Bible teaches different de frees of happiness and punishment, 'aul and the dying thief must have different places "or states In the : next world, and Christ said: "It shall be moro tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for Beth saida." It also militates against infant salvation, as every ono must win im mortality, and, as the infants have no chance, they are annihilated. There is no barrier iv God against the blackest thief having eternal life. The thief simply does not want it. Man ha 3 a ca pacity for good and bad. As he rises or sinks the bad or good capacity gets out of him, and somewhere the line is crossed and character is tixed. This is hell— to lose the capacity for good. OVER THE STONES. The Body of Murderer McGovern Buried Yesterday. Mike McGovern, the man who mur dered Bessie Kelly, and died from wounds inflicted upon himself, was bur ied yesterday. It was a strange, weird burial. The body was dumped into a plain pine coffin and carted away trom Gleason & McAllister's morgue to Hill side cemetery. There was no proces sion, no solemn services over the casket, no flowers, and not a tear dropped. The wairon containing the pine box/ with its ghastly busden, wended its way to the graveyard alone. The bones were rattled over the stones, and each jolt seemed to tell the terrible tale of a jealous lov er's murder of his mistress and his own death. Previous to McGovern's death he evinced a desire to speak with his attendant. Upon being granted this request he told the attendant that he had a horror of being buried in a pau per's grave. He said he had money enough to pay for a decent burial, and after his death sufficient money was found among his effects to pay for in terment in Hillside cemetery. Previous to his death McGoveru gave $30 to the physicians at the hospital for perform ing the operation on his wounded jaw. When the wagon containing his re mains reached the deserted graveyard yesterday, the coffin was lowered into the hole and the dirt thrown in upon it without comment. A . plain slab will mark the murderer's grave, and the. only inscription will be "Michael Mc- Govern." Another of the "Boos." One of the "boo" gang made a "rush" on an elderly lady named Mrs. Anna Palmer about 8 o'clock last night and snatched her pocketbook. Mrs. Palmer was standing at the corner of Washing ton and First avenues south waiting for her car. The crowd at the corner saw the theft and started after the fellow, who ran around on Third street toward Nicollet, where Patrolman McNulty joined in the chase. The follow did not stop, however, until he reached Fourtii street and Second avenue north. At this poiut the officer ordered him to halt, and he halted. At the lockup he gave the name of Bert Partridge. Mrs. Palmer lives at 2118 Sheridan avenue north. ' The Strikers Still Out. The striking steam fitters held a meet ing in . Labor Temple yesterday after noon to talk over their troubles. After deliberating three hours, it was . decided that the master fitters had not conceded all the points asked by the strikers, and therefore they will not go to work. The strikers say that matters look favorable to a settlement with their employers, and it is thought the men will go to work before the week is over. AMUSEMENTS. Yesterday at the Bijou, "Mr. Barnes of New York," opened a week's engage ment to crowded houses, lt is one of the very best plays of the melodramatic order that has been presented at this popular bouse this season. The per sonnel of the company is very nearly.if not quite equal to that of last season when seen at the Grand. The enter taining style and the ever present inter est, as well as the originality of the sit uations and ideas of the play, make it a favorite with theater-goers. Miss May Wheeler is a good actress in the part of Marina Paoli, her peculiar inflections reminding one forcibly of Rhea. Miss Emma Field as Enid Anstruther is a most sweet, graceful girl. Hugo Toland in the part of Mr. Barnes is acceptable. Sheridan Block is a most meritorious French nobleman, and will some day, with opportunities, become better known. All the company do well the parts allotted to them, and present an evenly balanced.strong performance. A large outpouring •of the opera lovers of this city .is expected at the Grand the first three nights of this week, when the big Duff Opera com pany will present three of the mos popular operas in their extensive reper toire, viz: "The Queen's Mate," which will be sung tonight and Wednesday night; "A Trip to Africa" Tuesday and "Poala" at the Wednesday matinee. The classic drama has no more able exponent than Frederick Warde, who will present three great productions at the Grand the latter part of this week. Thursday and Saturday matinee, "The Lion's Mouth;" Friday, "Vireinius;" and Satuulay, "The Mountebank." •'Fun on the Bristol," the first and one of the best of farce comedies, opened to a fair matinee and large night house yesterday at the Pence. The company did not reach Minneapolis till two o'clock, made upon the train and gave a fair performance, but at night a very |noticeable improvement was s^en and a hit was scored. Harry J. Con nors, in John F. Sheridan's celebrated character of "Widow O'Brien," around whom plot and fun revolves, made a rollicking, jolly "Biddy." Billy Court right, the old time minstrel and original "Flewey Flewey," has not lost the knack of pleasing. Clara Lake, a neat Spanish dancer; Frank Byron, a clever motto singer, and Hall and Dixon, good song and dance men, were encored. The entertainment is a funny one. Same bill all the week, including mat inees Wednesday and Friday, The sale of seats opens this morning at Dyer Bros, for the Jennie O'Neil Pot ter entertainment at the Lyceum thea ter next Friaay evening and Saturday afternoon. From the number of requests that have been made, there is no doubt but that the entertainment will be a vast success. Prof. Thomas Taylor Drill will assist in the performance. He will be accompanied by K. W. Middle on, the well known local organist. Lost $17,000 in Checks. New York, May B.— F. O. Littlefield, of the clothing firm of L. I. Hollander & Co., No. 290 Fifth avenue, last night reported the loss of $17,021 in checks between the hours of 2 and 3in the afternoon. He had sent a fourteen year-old boy, Wiiliam Breen, to the Third National bank to deposit the checks. The boy claims to have lost the checks from bis pocket. The police say the boy's associates are of a "shady" character, but he was not arrested. Immense Actors' Fund. New York, May B.— The actors' fund fair closed last night and the manage ment claim to have cleared 1200,000, of which (150,000 is clear profit. CAPITAL CORDIALITY. Everybody at Washington Is Bubbling: Over With Genu ine Politeness. The Chinese Minister's Deep Interest in Very Young- Ladies. He Presents One of Them • With Half a Dozen Fine Handkerchiefs. Society Lights as Scrub Wom i" en—Scheming of Private Secretaries. Special to tbe Globe. Washington, May 7.— Washington Is one of the most delightfully cordial places on all this earth. Everybody seems clad to see you, and deeply inter ested in you. The street car conductor touches his cap and says, "Beg pardon," when he jostles against you, and if you don't find yourself feeling fond of your fellow man and confident of the innate goodness of the race, you ought to be at the springs drinking the waters for your liver, for something is radically wrong with you. There are plenty of people to make one welcome In the fed eral capital, but nowhere is the stranger within Its gates received with such sincere kindness and unaffected hos pitality as at the home of Congressman Castle, of the Fourth district of Min nesota. Tho Castles have - been out of town the most of the sea son, and have just taken possession of a suite of rooms at the Portland, one of the fashionable apartment houses that crowd the society quarter of the city. The latch string is always up, and a more delightful drawing room to drop into for an informal chat now and then would be hard to find. Mrs. Castle is a sister of Col. Fellows, of New York, though she laughingly declares she does not at all approve her brother's political career. •_ ;:■-...-. ••_.*•• The Chinese minister, Tsui Kwo Yin, is a most popular man, especially with the women. He distributes gifts with a generous hand, and, like all the members of his legation, he is fond of the young girls of society. And the younger the better, too, appar ently. At one of Mrs. Springer's last receptions his almond eye, as he en tered, tell upon little Miss Linda Web ber, the bright-eyed and vivacious ten year-old granddaughter of Senator Palmer. Mr. Yin immediately asked for an introduction to the little maiden, and devoted himself to her while he re mained at the reception. Everybody crowded about, and, all unconcerned, the Chinese minister, through his in terpreter, carried on An interesting con versation with the equally unembar rassed little girl. The grown-up women ;were unnoticed, and more than one of envied little Miss Linda her hon ors. Next day the minister's carriage drew up in front of Senator Palmer's door, and an attache delivered to the delighted little girl a packet containing six r exquisite silk handkerchiefs, em broidered in the height of Chinese art, and two little chests of the kind of tea Chinese gods on a Chinese Olympus ake Chinese nectar of. Mr. Yin has not forgotten his little friend since then, but ; has always a smile and a bow for her whenever he meets her. * » * '.. If- you could look over the pay rolls of the various departments your eyes would start from your head in surprise, for in the lists of women you would see enrolled tne names of: promi nent society women. Do the society women scrub? Bless your dear inno cent heart, no, indeed; but even . in Washington society women are uot too well supplied with coin of the realm. The government pays its scrub women well. My lady procures such an ap pointment, hires somebody else for the merest song to do the work and pockets the balance. It is a very clever scheme, but of course there is nothing really fraudulent about it, which is more than, can be said of certain other Wash ington schemes. Scheming is in the air. Everybody pulls a wire or two, and nobody more than the private secretaries of the various sena tors. Some ot them aren't really secre taries at all, but only newspaper men who assume the title in order to gain the . privileges of the floor. The real secretaries are the wiliest ot the wily, and if there's anything, in the world to be had by scheming, those same private secretaries are going to move heaven and earth to get it. ** . m Next to the marvelous silver hair of Mr, Breckenridge, of Kentucky, the handsomest white head in congress be longs to Mr. Harries, of Minnesota. Hair and drooping moustache are of the same gleaming white. Mr. Harries has none of his family with him. but lives up near Mr. Castle, at the Strat ford. Says Mr; Harries: "If the Demo crats and Alliance men in Minnesota would only unite and fight together for Owen for governor, there would be a candidate sure to carry the state. Mr. Owen, I think, is sound on Democratic principles, and has these Alliance views merely as trimmings, as it were. He would make an invincible candi date aud an admirable governor." 'r- R. K. WORLD'S FAIR CATALOGUE. It Will Be a Book of About 2,000 Pages. Chicago, May The board of con trol of the national world's fair com mission last evening adopted a resolu tion taking the preparation of an official catalogue of the exposition out of the hands of the several committees of the local directory which had been figuring it up and placing it in the hands of the director general, subject to the approval of the board of control, lt is expressly provided that there shall be no adver tisements in the catalogue. An idea of the bulk of the catalogue may be gained trom this statement by Director General Davis: ; "If only three lines each are given to the exhibits, it will make a book of one or two thousand pages." The board of control granted permission for states and territories which make collective mining exhibits to print at their own charge an official catalogue of the speci mens which they may have in such collective exhibit.

T. U., and a woman of national reputation.

The Hoxi Dangerous of modern Dis orders Clearly Defined—Pneumo nia and What Causes It. ' -/ W j There has 'been a great mistake as to wbat | pneumonia really is. People, and even nome ; physicians, have called it a dangerous disease. | Pneumonia is always an after effect. If the i system is run down, weakened, debilitated, if the life is at a low ebb, tbe lungs may fill up and tbe person die suddenly, and it is called pneumonia. No man or woman ever died of pneumonia, when the body was strong, vigor ous and healthy. It comes upon one wbeu weakened by grip, by a severe cold or over work and a generally weakened condition. Such being the case, how can this dreadful trouble known as pneumonia be prevented or warded off '! Manifestly, by strengthening and fortifying the body by having the health and strength so secure that pneumonia will not attack, or if it should, can easily be ward ed off. This can be done by careful living, careful diet and a moderate use of a pure stimulant. To gently assist nature a stimu lant is required, something that adds to tbe life and vigor. Nothing for this purpose can equal pure whiskey, and it should be borne . in mind that the only pure and medicinal whiskey which has received the unqualified indorsement of physicians and scientists is Duffy's Pure Malt. His no ordinary whiekey. but possesses properties known to no otber article. It will effectually ward off pneumo- i and has saved the lives of thoasand? of ' people. It should be remembered, however, that it is the only whiskey which can accom- , plish this, and any druggist or grocer who seeks to convince you to the contrary is de ceiving. Insist udou having Duffy's Pure Malt. " DOCTOR BRINLEY Hennepin 1 venae. Corner Fonrth Street, MINNEAPOLIS, - MINNESOTA.
