A hired arirl in Milwaukee is also em ployed as the family "chauffeuse." She lias the science of breaking things per fected. Russia's Credit in War. I is a rather remarkable rumoT which has come out of the treaty nego tiations at Portsmouth that President Koosevelt advised the Japanese envoys that they ought to make peace because Russia beaten was consider ed a better financial risk than Japan victorious. While it is true that Japan* is almo st unknown in the money markets of the world, it is also true that Russia is al most too well known. Russia has been a steady and persistent borrower since the days of Catherine, when the court paid the expenses of the army, and when Russia had practically no national budget. Then came the Napoleonic era, which increased Russia's debt a billion rou bles. The Russian debt was ill-funded and the on ly thing which gave Russia a morsel of credit was the rapid advance of trade. The country continued to show an advancing balance in* its favor until the Crimean war, which threw Russia's cred it back to a rather low plane. Progress was again made until the Turkish war, which swallowed up immense sums. Within twenty-five years Russia had contracted forei gn loans to the tune of ono and one-half billions in gold. I 1887 Wishnegrad sky became finance minister, and from him dates the Russian modern financial syste m. found a national debt of 4,500,000,000 roubles eating up annually 262,000,000 in interest. also found 280,000,000 of gold reserv e. The trade balance was, however, the wrong way and he applied the tax Bcrew to raise the revenues and readjust the balance of trade. succeeded, but at a fear ful expense to the peasants of Russi a, who were ground to the earth with taxes. In' one year, 1891, when there was a partial failure of crops, famine stalked thru the land. The peasants, who had been obliged by the tax grin d ing process to sell all they had as soon as it was harvested, were without re source and the government was obliged to sacrifice 162,000,000 of its surplus to feed them. Wishnegradsky's successor in the finance office was Witte, whose pol icy was to borrow more money, build mo re railroads and force Russia into the position of a manufacturing nation. Under his administration the debt of Russia increased by leaps and bounds. I 1902 Russia owed at home and abroad, according to Witte's own reports, something over 8,500,000,060 roubles. Against these he placed pr i vate liabiliti es and deducted safe gov ernmental investments and reduced the unsecured debt to 1,882,000,000 roubles. But in making his deductions he put the railroads in at their cost instead of at their earning capacity. Inasmuch as they were not earning anything, but were a charge on the treasury, the fal lacy of his figures on the net debt is readily seen. The operations in the orient have enormously increased Rus sia's debt, and if it is true that she is today considered a better financial risk than Japan, then there must be some thing seriously wrong with the Japan ese financial system. I is true that Japan has on ly a small revenue compared with Russia, but she has also a comparatively small debt. The only other fact which could make Russia a better risk is that Russia is certain to pay her interest, while the Japanese have a reputation for repu diation of their obligations. Foreign ers have often remarked that between the Chinese and the Japanese mer chants there is the wide margin be tween men absolutely honest and men almo st absolutely dishonest. I is not to be supposed, however, that the pr i vate characteristics of the Japanese could govern the imperial treasury, especially when the exchequer had to deal with such countries as England. The failure of Bishop Potter 's religious saloon indicates that religious drinkers got their booze elsewhere. What's Best in the Long Run? the Editor of The Journal. I your paper of recent date appeared a sho rt editorial paragraph criticising attempts to embarrass the city admin istration, and presumably aimed at the efforts of the Home Protective League and the Anti-Saloon League to close the saloons on Sunday. The writer is not connected with either of these movements and is not personally acquainted with those who are doing this work, but it would seem to me that a simple effort to enforce the plain laws of the state should meet with the unqualified approval of a great paper like The Journal, and 1 as sure you that you have thousands of readers who dislike very much the in ference evidently to be drawn from these editorial items and would much prefer to have you come out and say that you disapproved such efforts, if that is the way you feel about it. There has been very much to com mend about the present administration of Mayor Jones, and if he cannot see his way clear to enforce the Sunday laws, ,he should not objectand I doubt if he do es objectto those who do be lieve in their enforcement, taking the proper steps to close the saloons on Sun day. c. Cooper. The particular paragraph to which the writer probably takes exception was the following: What right have we as good citizens to expect good men to accept the office ot mayor if we persist in doing things which embarrass that kind of a man in his ad ministration of the office? may not accomplish all that some of us would like to see done or think ought to be done, but he is up against the problem of what is best for the community and if we inter fere with the carrying out of his plans to that end. we have no right to expect him or anybody like him to hanker after the mayor's job in the future. After further consideration we are inclined to stand by that paragraph. I seems to have been 1 of a lot of independent movements for civic and moral reform. W are more inclin ed to this view because we believe the mayor has at heart the go od of the city quite as much as those who have thought it wise to go in advance of him in seeking to secure the enforce ment of the law. That the question of control of the liquor traffic is one of expediency is conceded by every man who does not believe in the saloon, but who at the same time adheres to the policy of high license as against that of prohibition. N man who takes any other view has any right, if he is not the friend of the saloon, to be other than an out-and-out prohibitionist. Mayor Jones is in a position to know more about what is best for the city of Minneapolis in1 1 inferred that The Journal had reference to the present Sunday closing movement of the Home Protective League, and perhaps that's a fair inferenc e. Conceding that it is, we are still inclin ed to think that more is to be gaiwed by following the lead i of the mayor than by. the organization to some degree to discredit the man whom the better sentiment of the community has chosen for the responsi ble position of mayor, can have any other effect that to make it practically impossible in the future to induce any man of the right character and right capacity to undertake the office which Mr. Jones assumed with great reluc tance. Massachuset ts people propose to erect a monument to Ephraim Bull of Concord. Years ago, finding a wild grapevine in the woods, he transplanted it to his yard in Concord, Mass. Careful attention re sulted in delicious grapes. The original vine is still growing and is the father of the Concord grapes we all eat today. Let the monument be erected. The czar broke the news of peace gen tly to his dear, dear army, which was just heart-broken over the loss of another chance at the Japs. The only things that kept the Russians from jumping on Oyama anyway were two. Respect for the czar and reverence for Oyama. John W Gates and four other heavy "plunger" friends, wearing watchchains weighing a pound each, have formed' a society "for the discouragement of the bookmaking industry." Th is is a good deal like the man who has it on tap in his cellar but who runs for governor on the prohibition ticket. The Sunday Tribune published as a special cable a lurid account of a fight to a finish between a stoat and a man gold wurzel. Such exciting news should be reserved for the first day of April, when readers are nerved to it. Since the British fleet, wi th enough ships to patrol the entire Baltic with just turning room per ship, made its appea r ance, our nervous friend the German em peror has been able to keep his collar on very nicely. Tremendous pressure is being put on Governor Douglas of Massachusetts to wear out a pair of S3. BO shoes by run ning again. The governor says he will notbut he is said to be much moved by the unanimi ty of the party. Atlanta's city council passed resolu tions stating that their mayor was drunk when he made his attack on municipal reformers. The mayor Indignantly denies this, stating that he was only partially intoxicated. Chicago consumed 67,000 mo re barrels of beer in August, 1905, than in August, 1904. I should be explained that 64,000 of these were drank on Portsmouth day, hoching der bresident. When there is a church row on, says Dr. Guild, the devil feels as tho he oould take a vacation. Should think he would want to be on hand to see the fun. William J. Bryan, careering round the world, will stop in Chicago to dine with the late lamented James K. Jones of Ark. Mr. Bryan says he is "45, fat, hearty and, prosperous." W have been chaving pretty good times since 1896. The census of Minneapolis will be taken at the fair grounds tomorrow. Don 't fail to be there. With its present executive in power, the country is ot worrying muc h, aboirt a coal strike.

So far as we recall, he has never yet indicated publicly or officially or in any other manner what his ultimate attitude toward Jhe Sunday saloon may e. came into office confronting a condition of things which the better sentiment of this city could not but condemn. Accepting that situation, he has undertaken to make the best of it and we are quite sure that intelligent and well-informed .judgment on the questi on will agree that he has made a vast improvement during the eight months that he has been in office, great er, indeed, than we had any right to ex pect, altho not greater than was gen erally hoped for. While, as The Journal has al ready said, it is the privilege of the Home Protective league, or people of no league, if they see fit, to take such action as seems to them wise to eradi cate the Sunday saloon, we, are still of the opini on that this whole matter would better be left in the hands of the mayor. The better sentiment of the community having been organized with Mayor Jones as captain, it see ms wisest to leave the command in his hands. W do ot recall any successful cam paign where high privates and corpora ls have undertaken to conduct campaigns of their own, independent of the main body of the troops, where they have been permanently successful. W re peat, it is the privilege of any orga n ization or of any individual to appeal to the law if he sees fit. is en titled to his own judgment as to the probable permanent value of his effort. A the same time, we do not believe that this kind of action, having unque s tionably a tendency to embarrass and perhaps T. v._. THE UNEASY CHAIR SEPTEMBER,WEATHER AND FIRE SIDE READING.When in the northland the first chill wind and rain of Septem ber, und er a sodden sky, volley against the windows, one turns to his fireside and his books as naturally as the birds turn southward.

Then he turns for light to the book column of his newspa per, if he has learned to place confidence in that, or to the fall announcements of the publishers, including, of course, that of Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Which ex perience has taught him never to over look.

The new story is "Rose o' the River," a love tale of the Saco valley in Maine. The humor and delicate sentiment of the author's pre vious work are present in this new book and the large advance orders give assur ance of a wide circulation for the book this winter.

A friend of Lord Bacon and John Donne, to mention but two gre at names, a constant attendant on James the First, he was withal filled with a saint-like devotion to-the duties of' his priesthood. His musical ear is evidenced thruout his verse and in the cadence of his pi'ose.

ROMANCE O THtE BOER WAR. The Boer war .w&s., full of interest to every thoughtful observer of events. The splendid defense made by the Boers, the manly qualities of the young fellows who took their places in the ranks along with "Tommy Atkins," the loyalty of the col onies to England, the doubt raised as to the possibility of the average British ad ministration's learning how to bind the colonies to the home ^government so as to make the solidarity of the empire completeall these helped to give to the South African struggle tremendous In terest. It is no wonder th en that we should find the "storytellers" utilizing the ma terial thus furnished. On the Firing Line is an illustration. Some young Canadians go across the water to take their places wi th "Tommy Atkins" irt^the ranks. They don't want to be officers. and mutual respect and admiration ex ists between officers and men. They do a lot of hard riding and hard fighting. They get plenty of hard knocks, and have rough experience of ambulance and- hos- pital, of wounds and fever, but they pull th ru all in good shape at last. Of course there are women in the book, bright, level-headed girls, who their part well and, while doing it, also manage to produce permanent "heart disease" in some of the youns fellows as well as in themselves. The disease, ho w ever, becomes -the normal condition for long years after, and is productive of lasting good, since it ends in marriage of kindred spirits. There is not an unclean man or woman in the book. I Is free from every kind of action or word of doubtful propriety. It is not a gre at book, but a wholesome, Well-told story that leaves no sting of shame or. pain behind as one lays it down. The story is by Anna Chapin Ray. W. R. K. V.

In his War of the Classes, recently pub lished In paper covers by the Macmillan company, he tells what Is the purpose of the socialists in a way to make him who has not followed the movement gasp a few gasps. For .instance, he says: And far be it from me |o deny that socialism is a menace. It Is Its purpose to wipe out, root and .branch, all capitalistic institutions of pres ent-day society. It is distinctly revolutionary, and in scope and depth Is vastly more tre mendous than any revolution that has ever oc ourred la th history of the world. Mr. London's book is made up or sev eral papers originally* published separ ately.

"My friend and I ca me early, in order to get good seats." "Is this church your shade of belief?" I asked. "Oh, no," she retorted in the confi dential whisper which characterizes ah er conversation.

AMUSEMENTS The OrpheumModern Vaudeville. Better offerings mark the Orpheum bill this week. There is a wido variety of acts, and almost all of them are good. No one outshines the others and all are diverting and entertaining. There are music, dancing, athletics and trained ani mal work of more than the usual merit. The program is notable more for its mirth-provoking tendencies than its art, and there are few seconds when the seat holders are not getting their money's worth of care-killing laughter. Schepp's dogs and ponies, the curtain-raisers, are well trained and tho the act is rather longer than the adults care for, it makes a tremendous hit wi th the youngsters. Talbot and Rogers, Jokers, introduce some new gags and many old ones, but all of them "go" wi th the crowd. Linden Beckwith has brought a new turn to vaudeville in the "Singing Portrait," the idea beins: similar to that of the Marcel figure studies, so popular a few yea rs ago. The house is darkened and when the lights flash on the center of the stage they disclose a Gainsborough girl of gre at beauty, who sings "The Dashing White Sergean t" in a pleasing voice. The second shift shows the same girl in Irish garb who wins warm applause by singing "The Minstrel Boy." The last song was "Take Me, Jamie Dear" wi th the singer in kilts. It is a clever con ceit and will prove popular in the strong holds of vaudeville. Bertie Fowler, who hasn't lost a pound in five years, is giving her imitation of "St. Joseph, Mo., jag" wi th all of its old-time energy. She made one of the hits of the evening with the "story of the souse" and Imitations of kindergart en children. Bert Leslie and Robert Dailey are putting on "Going Abroad," a hodge podge of slang and foolishness of suffi cient brightness to keep the crowd in an uproar. A dancing turn by Miss Emery helps the act wi th telling effect. Da ve Genafo and Ray Bailey furnish strenuous amusement with A Cigareete Case," the most pleasing feature of the skit being the dancing of the principals at the close of the act. The De Koe trio do creditable hand and head balanolng, introducing in the windup a French poodle who sits upon the head of one of the trio and ap parently sustains upon his head the weight of the youngest member of the trio on a headstand. The kinodrome closes the show with a series of fantastic camera freaks. J. Ritchie. Bijou"In Old Kentucky." One of the surprises in store for the ater-goers this winter is the renewed and rejuvenated Bijou theater. The handso me little Washington avenue play house has been entirely refinished and redecorated from top to bottom. A mag nificent new curtain in rich, attractive colors, replaces the old one, which rep resented two belles of the vintage of 1884 in a scow, playing tag with a flock of swans. The new curtain, which is from the brush of W P. Davis, the local scenic artist, is much more pleasing in design and is exceptionally artistic in ex ecution. The predominating colors in the new decorations are Italian vermilion, cream white and gold. The large flat surfaces in the lobby, foyer and auditorium are paneled in red wi th artistic borders and decorations in the white and gold. The heavy rococo decorations about the prosoenium and boxes and gallery are beautifully brought out by the gold and white with which they have been decor ated. New carpets and draperies, new lights and hundreds of incandescents complete the effect. Nothing new can be said of that an cient and honorable antique "In Old Ken tucky." For staying qualities and an ability to defy Father Time it is a close second to "Uncle Tom's Cabin." I is simple, natural and genuine, and therein lies the secret of its longevity. Its he roes and heroines are wholesome, lovable people whose fortunes are breathlessly followed by the audience. The villains are properly hissed, and everybody is happy at the finish when it all turns out "just perfectly lovely." The piece made a most successful open ing at the Bijou yesterday. The company is well chosen and capable. The scenery and other properties, with the exception of the live stock, four horses, a rooster and two hens, are slightly worn, but look good for another season. The Woodlawn Wangdoodles are a joy forevfer, espe cially to opening week patrons. The plantation jubilee in the second act threatenst the stage the entire house audiencea,n Fortunately for them, they fall into thel^Pj dismemberment, to the great de- hands of thorolv manly men as officers, i 1[*ht Marlon Shirley as Madge Brierly, the heroine, is as sweet and fetching as her part. Harry Bradley as Colonel San dusky Doolittle is as hearty and jovial as ever, ut his increasing aldermanic avoirdupois spoils his courtly "Kain tucky" bow by forcing him to spread his feet apart .like a Colossus of Rhodes. M. C. Bacheller. Wonderland In Fair Week. Twin City Wonderland, the big amuse ment park on East Lake street, will at tract almost as much attention this week when the city is filled wi th state fair visitors as the fair itself. Nearly all its features are absolute novelties to this section. Its scenic railway, airship swing, the old mill, shoot the chutes, bump the bumps, fairy theater, minia ture railway, the infant incubator exhibit, a myth city, house of nonsense, crystal maze, the laughing gallery, a carrousel and a dozen or more minor attractions are grouped about a broad promenade called The Bowery. A night 25,000 incandescents, fifty arc lights and a searchlight dazzle the eye. There is an electric tower 120 feet high, studded with 7,000 incandescents. A airship swing with a thousand lights resembles a huge electric umbrella. A miniature lake and the incline of the chutes are ornamented with festoons of lights. Band concerts, fireworks dis plays, aerial and acrobatic acts are given as free attractions.

SODTIERN BLOOD TOLD LITTLE ELEANOR WAS OVER- JOYED TO GET ON TRAIN FOR A WARMER CLIME. Eleanor was born in Southern Texas near the 4 Mexican border. Her first impressio ns were those of the balmy south and the zephyrs that te ll of the "sunshine and the palm trees and the tinkly temple bells" became dear and almost indispensable to her thru the associations of her infancy. Her early life was peaceful and she was content with existence. "Then there came a change, as all things human change." Her mother deserted her and, a homeless orphan, she was taken charge of by a kind southern gentleman. Still Eleanor knew no real hardship. Her guardian later decided to give his ward to A Hocum, a relative living at 2640 Emer son avenue N Minneapolis, and the young charge was sent, against her will, into the "north countree." From the day of er arrival in Min neapolis^ Eleanor showed signs of dis satisfaction, but id not complain. She was treated kindly, but the Hocum family did not delight in their new charge and her despondency id not please them. When the cool nights came the little orphan shivered and slunk away by herself into the warmest corn er she could find, and was often found quietly crying softly to herself. She was unmistakably homesic k. The Hocum's finally gave up trying to make her happy and gave her over into the care of "W. Adams, who gladly adopted her into his big family. Even the cheery atmosphere of her new home did not make Eleanor forget the sunny sout h, for which she pined continually. One day two Minneapolis gentlemen visited the Adams home and immediate became interested in Eleanor. They inquired into her history and finally asked Mr. Adams if they could adopt her. They sa id that they were going south. They had bought a plantation in Virginia and felt sure that they could make Eleanor happy. A last Mr. Adams agreed to give up his charge. The day of leaving came. Eleanor was taken to the station. She said nothing, but looked pleased when she saw the train and broke away fTom her new guardians, ran forward, jumped upon the platform and for the first time since her arrival in Minneapolis, gave a happy bark. Eleanor, a great dane, is now living happily as queen of a Virginia kennel kept by Mr. French and Dr. Atwood, and if she knew would be thankful to Mr. Adams, of the Min neapolis Humane society. $34.90California$34.90.

Says Boycott I Nothing New, but the Issue Must Drawn, and Churches Will Glad to See Every Man Take SidesScorching Denunciation of Sa- loons. A Wesley church last evening Dr. Guild read another "pulpit editorial," after reading some extracts from the city papers concerning the proposed boycott of the churches by the saloons. The large church was filled and no part of the service awakened the interest that this did, his radical utterances re ceiving hearty applause despite the usual restraints of the church atmos phere. Dr. Guild said: A notable gathering of nearly four hundred Minneapolis citizens was held this week. The se were very influential citizens representing institutions whic,h contribute $400,000 a year to the city governmentwit a by-product of court costs, insane, paupers, widows, murders and other crimes not enumer ated in the census. These noble citi ze ns are indignantthe are greatly wronged because during many years they have been permitted to defy the statutes and to contin ue without inter mission their work of ruining human life, seven days to the week. Six days are enough for the banker, the mer chants, the barberbu the important products of the saloon are so needful that they must have seven days of about twenty hours each. "After mature deliberation, we are informed this patriotic body decided upon four very important things: "FirstTo remove their bank de posits to St. Paul. "SecondThe Clark ordinance is to be repeale d. These gentlemen do not like the idea that a man should actu ally be made to pay a penalty for vio lating the law. I is ridiculousthere fore let us repeal it! I appeal to the Christian manhood of this city to see that nothing of the kind is done. The Cla rk ordinance imposes the on ly pen alty for violation of the excise laws which amounts to anything, viz: for feiture of the license fee. This penalty is customary everywhere. "ThirdThey voted themselves a certificate of good character. Accord ing to one newspaper they declare that many of them are ehurch members, and the paper almost intimates that Bible classes will soon be running in the bar rooms with Christian Endeavor and W C.

I would welcome any such drawing of the lines that would make men choose their sides and stand either for the home and for God, or for rum and the devil. Perhaps the church mem bers of Minneapolis who own brewery stock and use it to benumb the church es and gag the preachers would be smoked out.'' far the greater part of the saloons are owned by the breweries corporation's have no souls churchmen can own stock and have no responsibility?

I is the breeding placeth nesting pla ce of crime, where moral vermin lurk and cre ep and crawl. I is the vestibule of 'her whose house is the way to hell.' I is the hotbed of licentiousness wherein men loaf lean with elbows on the bar, talk vile things, jest about the virtue of woomalrhood, sing lewd songs, inflame their brutal natures and thence go reeling to the den of vice to feed the rum-enkindled passio ns upon* death itself. "Men called gentlemen frequetifb these delightful places also. But they do not take their wives and children there. Why not? I a woman who frequents a saloon and drinks at the bar is considered disreputable why sha ll not the man be? I believe itt one standard of morals for man and woman "This is a mild description of the saloon. Out of its open portals over 60,000 drunkards reel into the gTave every year.
