8 LOVE TO HELP OTHERS. And Hence They Give Good Advice About How to Make Life Happier. "A man is known by the company he keeps." Above are the pictures of two well known and noble gentlemen. One is the Rt. Rev. Bishop Edward Wilson, D. D., L.L. D., and the other Is Rev. J. E. Rankin, D. D., I,L. D., president of Howard University, Washington, D. C. These gentlemen have secured the high position* they hold and the confidence which every one has in them through the fidelity they have shown to human ity and the cause they represent. They are men who have the confidence of all who know them; men who love hu manity and seek by every means in their power to do everything to bene fit it. It is notable, though not strange, that both these gentlemen have found great help and assistance from the same source, namely one of the great IN THE SOCIAL WORLD RECEPTION AT THE TOWN AND COUNTRY (1,111 Annual Wanhlngton Birthday Event More Elaborate nnrt Largely At tended Than Any Like Event Given Under the Same Auspice**— Ifnmeroni Oth.-r Receptions. One of the most euccessful events In its history, was the reception at the Town and Country club yesterday aft ernoon, when the members from both cities gathered at the annual Washing ton birthday celebration as guests of President Monfort and of Mrs. Monfort. Th? stars and stripes were used effec tively about the rcoms of the club house. Over the mantels and doorways great flags were draped in graceful folds and smaller flags were used here and there on the walls and tables. A wood fire burned in the large open grrate and in the smaller rooms, open ing: from the main reception room, small tables of refreshments were in charge of lady members of the club. I'he St. Anthony Hill orchestra gave Its services for the afternoon and a" de lightful series of popular and familiar melodies was the result. Over 400 men and women called dur ing the afternoon and paid their re spects to the president and his wife, and as the rooms filled with callers the hum of conversation and sound of laughter commingled with the fuller Bounds of the music.

Bishop Wilson says: "I have taken Warner's Safe Cure with great advan tage and derived much benefit from its use, and unhesitatingly recommend it to my friends." In speaking upon this subject, Dr. Rankin says: "1 have known of many who have been permanently cured of diseases of the kidneys and urinary or gans by the use of Warner's Safe Cure. I know, too, of its being used in sim ilar cases by physicians of the high est standing. This remedy I want in the cause of humanity to recommend." Men like Bishop Wilson and Dr. Ran kin do not speak hastily or of things of which they are not fully aware. They love men and women and desire to see them made, physically as well as morally, better.

There are men innumerable who have been worn out by the cares' and strains of life, who are less energetic and ac tive than formerly; who feel a lack of ambition when they should be ener getic, and who do not know the cause There Is but one cause for all these troubles, and that is, kidney or liver disease. There are many women who are un accountably pale, sallow, sickly, who lack appetite and are virtually a bur den to their friends, and yet who do not realize the occasion of such trou bles. It all arises from female diffi culties caused by imperfect kidneys. To all such the outspoken words above quoted should come as a blessing. When Bueh well known and noble men as the above speak in such frank and manly terms as they do of a rem edy, they thoroughly know there can not be the slightest question as to its great merits and its power to benefit mankind.

Mel drum on the. Father of His Coun try D. R. Xojes and Rnkard Hurd Also Speak Medals Award ed for Prize- Essays. A thousand school children singing patriotic songs filled the People's church with melody yesterday after noon. A portrait of Washington over the pulpit and an engraving of the well known picture of "Washington crossing the Delaware, decorated with the national colors, indicated the char acter of the exercises. It was the joint celebration by the Minnesota societies of the Sons of the American Revolution and the Sons of the Revolution of AVashington's Birth day. In accordance with their annual cus tom they had gathered to honor the memory of the founder of the Ameri can republic. With them were two sons of Revolutionary soldiers, a num ber of ladies representing the Daugh ters of the American Revolution, the children of the American Revolution, the colonial societies and Mount Ver non association. Washington himself was represented in the person of his descendant, Lawrence G. Washington. The body of the church was occu pied by the members of the societies; the gallery was reserved for the pub lic school children. With the officers on the platform were seated John Wesley Crary, of St. Paul, and Van Rensselaer Gifford.of Ncrthfield, whose fathers fought under Washington in the war for independence. In opening the exercises President Daniel R. Noyes, of the Sons of the American Revolution, who presided, dolivered a short and appropriate ad dress. Mr. Noyes said: "One hundred years— l~ss one— have passed since Washington sp nt, mo-t hap pily, his last birthday on earth, a wedding In the family marking the event. "Since then no recurrence of the day has fsiled of Increasing notice. Today in all civilized lands, his praise will be spoken and more good Americans will gather to do him honor than ever before. We do well to cultivate respect and reverence for all the great and good, the heroic men and women, of the past, whose lives were a blessing and an honor to th<ir race, for it is the " 'Tidnl wave of such nobler souls, which Into our inmost being rolls. And lifts 'is unawares Out of our meaner cr.res. All praise then to those whose words and deeds Thus help us in our dally needs, And, l>y their overflow, raise us from all that's low.' "Washington was a man of like passions as ourselves, strong and vigorous in hla youth, plenty of warm, red blood coursing In his veins. If, when oldr-r, he became grave before he became gray, and, later still, was called dry and cod, we need not won<l«r. I have' sympathy with those who would give his faults undue promi nence. His character far transcended that of nny other public man of his time, and I know of no peer among his predecessors. Of those who followed him in public life there is only one whose nrme a~ d fame can compare with his. No nobler figure, bat tling so long and henestly for 'the just and true.' ever stood in the forefront of a nation's life. "I trust that resDect for our rulers is not dead yet. United England honors its roynl ru'.er and even distracted Austria, its emperor. "Let us seek to elect only those whom we can honor. ar>d then we can honor those whom we elect! "When the war of independen-e closed Washington was unlversTllv acknowledged as the eantPin who had steered the ship of stat° in to its safe ha»bor, ar>d b" it was who thus afforded to the 3,000 000 of his country men the onr.ortunitv to b.'come the 70.(00,000 of our fallow countrymen of to day. What was the secret of his success; a success so marked that when he died, Dec. 14. lSr»7 the channel fleet, of England,, lowered its flags and the banners of the army of France were draped in black! And this," too, for the man who had wrested an empire from the one, and was preparing to defend his country from the other. "The answer, I think, must be that it WP9 to his resolute soul, his indomitable will, more than to any other personal trait or gift, that his success was due for " 'There's no chance, or destiny, or fate Can circumvent, or hinder, or control The firm resolve of a determined soul. Gifts count for nothing— will alone is great; All things yield to it either soon or late. What obstacle can stay the force Of the seu-seeking river in its course, Or cause to wait, the ascer.ding crb of day? Each well-born soul must win what it de serves. Let the fool prate of luck — The fortunate Is he whose earnest purpose nevrr swerves. Whose slightest action, or inaction, serves The one great aim. Why. even death stands still And waits an hour sometimes, for such a will.' " At the conclusion of President Noyes* remarks all the school children in tho gallery rose and sang the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" in a manner that thrilled the hearers. They were led by Prof. C. H. Congdon and Prof. William Browne presided at the organ. An invocation was then offered by the Rev. Dr. John Paul Egbert, chap lain of the Sons of the Revolution. Dr. Egbert prayed that if it became neces sary for Americans to meet men again in battle, they would stand true tv the traditions of their forefathers and fight bravely for the maintenance of Amer ican principles and honor. The school children then sang '"Our Bright Starry Banner" with much en thusiasm, after which "The Star Span gled Banner" was sung by Morris Jeff rey, of the Lincoln school, the other children joining in the chin us. Youne: Jeffrey has a sweet voice and his rendition of the song was very ef fective. Enthusiastic applause reward ed him for his effort. President Rukard Hurd, of the Sons of the Revolution, stepped forward and announced that he would present medals awarded by his society for prize essays on patriotic topics written by pupils of the high schools of Minne sota. President Hurd said in sub stance: The Society of the Sons of the Revolution was organized to stand before the public as a practical patriotic association worthy or respect, honor and attention. Absolutely ignoring politics, religion, wealth or social rank, it gathers together the worthy descendants of the fathers and founders of the nation, that by their hon ored names the patriotic services these descendants may be stimulated and in spired to a high apnreeiation of their pa triotism, devotion, heroism and sacrifices. That by this appreciation they may edu cate themselves and their fellow country men to a high standard of loyal, unselfish, watchful patriotism. It thus provides in a systematic, busi ness-like manner in each community a pa triotic order to stand as the exponent, lead er and Defender oitf Patriotism. Such is the mission of the Sons of the Revolution, and of its brother society, the Sons of the American Revolution, and such is the mission of the magnificent society of the Daughters of the American Revolution in their blessed and far-reaching work of organized, intelligent patriotism. Here in Minnesota we can do everything as briefly outlined except erect revolution ary monuments and memorials. Fortu nately, the Minnesota Society of the Sons of the Revolution found a plan In which to invest its funds and interest its mem bers and the public. The plan was to en list the patriotic services of the youth of Minnesota, by inciting them to research in American patriotic history, and engaging them In patriotic essay contests on sub jects assigned by the society and rewarding the winners with silver and bronze medals made from a die furnished by the general society. To make the competition equal and fair we opened it to the students of the high schools of the state. The plan was! really very simple, as it was only a combination of the required exercises in writing, composition and his tory, and shouM hay* met with a hearty and instantaneous support of teachers, principals and superintendents. You have heard of the plan and doubtless realize its value. It is with patriotic public opinion whether this state society shall continue it as a state affair, or confine it to the Twin Cities, or abandon It altogether. If the "Stars and Stripes" and this unique and beautiful flag proclamation of Secretary Townsend cannot arouse more in terest among the high schools of the state, we must find some other ways and means to employ our time, labor and money. The subject this year is a glorious one — "The Stars and Stripes." I have the great pleasure of presenting and decorating with our compliments and congratulations the winner of the prize medal, Willard Ackerson, of the Minneap olis South Side high school. The bronze medal for second prize was won by George M. Brack, of St. Paul Cen tral high school, and I take great pleas ure in presenting and decorating Mr. Brack with his medal. As the recipients of the prizes step ped to the platform, they were applaud ed and when George Brack turned to leave it he was greeted by a crowd of fellow schoolmates in the rear of the church with the Central high school yell. "The New Hail Columbia" was sung by the school children and then the Rev. Andrew B. Meldrum, D. D., de livered the address of the day. "Once more." said Dr. Meldrum, "this busy nation stands still to honor the mem ory of the man to whom, more than to' any other man, it owes its independence. Poor In human sensibility is he to whom this day is barren of strength and patriotism. "I might tell of the long and fiery trial through which he led the people of this land. They turned to him as Their Natural Leader, and, when it came time to select a pres ident, he was already chosen in the hearts of the people. His personal influence and weight of character carried the nation through. "But, great as was Washington, he was the servant of One greater than he. He but fulfilled the high behests of Him whose hand guides the evolution of the drama of the world. He never despaired. He believed the God of the Nations had chos en him for a commission, and he was right. "It was not Blucher or Wellington that defeated Bonaparte. It was the shadow of God's hand that hovered over Waterloo. God was passing by over this country, and George Washington was equipped by God for his marvelous destiny. The young re public was sacred as a child of God. "I have read many times that wonder ful document known as Washington's fare well address, in which he gives to the American people the maturest results of his life-long experience. Let me ask if in the annals of this nation there is a nobler passage than that wherein that stainless hero, having fought through the great wars one of which ended in the independence of his country; having in posts of high re eponsibikty assisted in bringing about two organic changes of government; having been twice called unanimously to the chief magistracy; now with victory on his helm ' with the proud affection of the army with the idolatry of the whole nation— humbly lays his honors down that he may retire to the unambitious walks of a private cit izen in the quiet shades of Vernon? "What other cor.querer like him? yj^ at Bona P art e of human greed and selfishness would have let slip such an op portunity of seating himself on a throne and building for himself an autocratic dy nasty for his own house? "With What dignity of language, with what tenderness of solicitude, does he urge the necessity of ever deepening loyalty to the Lnion Listen, for here are words of ° n .^ o> ihou Sh de-ad, yet speaketh: rhe unity of government which consti tutes one people now dear to you. It is justly so, for it Is the main pfllar in the edifice oi your real independence. The sup port of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad, of your safety, of your prosperity of that very liberty which you so highly prize. • * • ' ''These are word 3 which though uttered 100 years ago, were spoken for all time. They might have been uttered yesterday so fresh are they; so vivid, so vigorous so instinct with wisdom, truth and affection. "This is the dominant note of the last blast the father of his country blew from has golden bugle — Loyalty, Loyalty, Loyalty. "This is the thought he would have burn its way into the conscience of every citi zen. "That if it was worth while that men brave and true, should suffer and die for the sake of American Independence and na tionality those who are the inheritors of privileges purchased at so tremendous a cost should live in grand fidelity to the idea of a true democracy. And If we ask how this loyalty should find expression, we find the answer in that immortal message —'respect for its authority, compliance with Its laws, acquiescence In its measures, are duties enjoined by the fundamental max ims of true liberty.' "Here, then, we' find the spirit of loyalty and devotion projected into one word, and "The sense of duty is the life of patriot- Ism. "There is no Idea more grand than that of true freedom. But what is it? Many a man will tell you that freedom Is the right to do as one pleases. This idea left unchecked would dry up the veTy springs of the nation's nobleness. Liberty is the right to do as one pleases only when one pleases to do what is nVht. To be free Is not synonymous with infinite facilities for getting drunk. The prime ( ssentia! of free dom is obedience to law. Rights and duties are indissclubly joined together. They bal ance each other in complete and sublime equilibrium. In proportion as we fail in duty we forfeit our rights. A man's lib erty ends and ought to end when that lib erty becomes the curse of his neighbors. I ask you. then, whether tlrere is any one thing more needed today than just "this— reverence for law, obedience to law. This is the patriotism of peace whose requisitions are no less sacred or imperative than those of war. "Let me call your attention to one ether element of Washington's conception of patriotism. Again J pray you to listen — 'of ail the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are Indispensible supporters. * * •' Here speaketh no person, priest, or bishop: no narrow-minded speci.il pleader in behalf of effete nations. The philosophy of history, revealed to him that the control ling forces which shaped events aud det i - mined destinies were the love of freedom and the fear of God. "It is true that here there is no union of church and state; true that the state dors not dictate to the church and that the church dare not dictate to the state; but the state is neither aetheistic nor agnostic. "Before it can be either it must go back ward and blct out its whole past history as It goes; it must change the character of its laws and the very genius of Its institution?, which are but the culmina tion of the co-operation of the spirit of lib erty and the spirit o! religion which through the ages have been making for righteous ness and peace— righteousness based on the eternal law of God— peace founded on the inalienable rights of man." There was a prolonged applause when Dr. Meldrum concluded. Then Nellie. Charles and Jennie Jef frey, of the Lincoln school, both very little gir'.s, sang "Home, Swet-t Home." The chorus was sung by all the chil dren. The entire audience then sang "America." the Rev. Edward C. Mitch ell, chaplain of the Sons of the Ameri can Revolution, pronounced the bene diction and the meeting closed. Too Veterans Welcomed. A pleasing incident of the day was the introduction of John Wesley Crary and Van Rensselaer Gifford to the au dience who received them standing. Mr. Crary, who belongs to the Sons of the Revolution, was born June 10, 1808, and Mr. Gifford, who is a mem ber of the Sons of the American Revo lution, was born Nov. 18, 1537.

The new steamship Pretoria, of the Ham burg-American line, Is expected to arrive In New York tomorrow. The Pretoria Is the crowning triumph of the extensive ship-building establishment of Blohin & Voss, at Hamburg, Germany, and adds another success to the many already achieved by years. She has n length over all of SSG feet, a breadth of iVI, a depth ol 42, and a displacement of 23, ,".00 tons. No steamship in the world has a greater carry ing capacity.

To facilitate the handling of this cargo she Is equipped with fourteen stpam winches of the nr>st powerful type, twenty-eight heavy derricks and eight steam cranes, or booms, as they are called in ship parlance. With these mod ern appliances these tons of freight ari picked up from the wharf as if they were but so many pounds, and swung upon the upper deck, and then lowered to their proper place through some one of the nine wide hatches. She has accommodations for 328 cabin pas sengers, and comfortable and roomy quarters for a large number of travelers by steerage, as we!l as for the large crew necessary for handling hor.

Great Northern and Northern Pa cific Will Hereafter OppoHe Them. CHICAGO, Feb. 22.— 1t is now reported that the Great Northern and Northern Pa cific roada have joined hands to bring about an abolition of all Canadian Pacific differen tials, and will insist that that be an in dispensable c lament in the settlement of the present transcontinental rate war. Those differentia's are at the bottom of the trouble. They have been the. source of an- i noyance and friction since they have been ! in existence, and now It is claimed the pi war offers an excellent opportunity of get ting rid of them once and forever. It la ' j urged that there is really no reason for existence. Any disadvantages to which tho ! , Canadian Pacific may be subjected to in I pt ting for transr-ontir.ental business on the one hand are more than offset by advantages it enjoys on the other. It may be that all the matters now in dis- I j pute between the roads may be submitted ! i to arbitration for settlement. In that ease the | question of differentials would have to aYd ■• I by the result, same as all the other matters j in dispute. Should the war be fought cut to a finish, however, it is said the two ro:tds ■ named will insist on the abolition of all dif ferentials. SUSPENDS ITS OPERATION.
