MILL CITY MATTERS. Key. Dr. Stryker Announces Himself a Believer in Christian Science. * A G. A. R. Committee Presents 1. A. Becker With a Gold- Headed Cane. Dp. Knowles Will Sue the Journal—New Scale for th . Printers. The Swell Ball of the Lur lines This Evening- Other Events, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE, Rev. Dr. Stryker Declares Him- self for the "Faith Cure" Idea. There was a large attendance at the meeting of the Presbyterian alliance at Westminster church last evening. After a short business session the mem bers sat down to a pleasant supper. Here speeches were made by Rev. Dr. McLean, of Macalester college, Rev. Dr. MeCurdy and Rev. Mr. Burrill. After supper the alliance assembled in the church parlors and listened to an inter esting discussionon"Christian Science." The discussion was opened by Dr. A. W. Abbott, who treated the subject from a physician's stand point. He ridiculed " the idea of there being anything in the faith cures, so called, and asserted that whereever any alleged cures had been made they were only imaginary, or else the diseases supposed to be cured were only imaginary. The medical profes sion had wrought many wonderful cures where "faith" hud tailed to have any effect, and so far as he was concerned he did not care to have any "Christian Scientist*' at work on him when he was sick. Rev. Dr. Stryker followed. He said that up to a short time ago he had looked upon the faith cure idea as ri diculous in the extreme, and had even gone so far as to openly declare that it amounted to nothing. But lately he had become interested in the subject, and after at tending several Christian science meet ings and reading many books on the subject, had become converted to the faith, and now believed in it fully and implicitly. Be cited several cases of cure that had come under his notice. His words made a very favorable im pression upon the audience, apparently, and at the conclusion of his remarks he was approached by several gentlemen, who wanted to hear more of the wonder ful cures. The theory of the Christian scientists, he said, was to educate the mind to convey its own and the bodily forces to cure diseases. The basis of faith cure, he said in closing, is really looking away from man and trusting in God. Rev. J. M. Patterson read the third and last paper. He said that while many wonderful cures were reported from the simple laying on of hands, the theory of the Christian scien tists was contrary to all of God's words. The scientists claimed that there was no sickness, no real in firmities—it was simply a delusion caused by sin. Now the Bible says flu-re is sickness, and even God, speaking through the Bible, tells of cases of it. If there was no such thing as real sick ness it was time, the speaker . said, for the Christian people of the land to either incorporate "Christian science" in their creed or else, if there was real sickness, to expose it as a fraud. The discussion dosed' promptly at 10 o'clock, the hour set in the by-laws for closing, notwith standing the fact that there were several more papers to be read. FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE. A Reminiscence of the Battle of aniline—R. A. Becker Caned. The committee from the G. A. R. posts which had charge of the arrange ments for the sham battle at the state fair grounds held a meeting yesterday afternoon, which was followed by a banquet at the Yendome restaurant, during which Commander C. W. Curtiss, of riummer post, presented R. A. Becker, past department commander, who served as the St. Paul member of the committee, with an elegant gold headed cane, inscribed as follows: R. A. Becker, of St. Paul, from the sham battle committee of Minneapolis for meritori ous service at the battle of liamline, Sept. 17. Mr. Becker responded feelingly, and the occasion, which was a celebration of the successful outcome of the under-, taking, which involved considerable ex- Kense and risk, will long be remem ered by the veterans present. SOMEBODY WILL SWEAT, Dr. Knowles Wants Damages for a Slanderous Article. An evening paper yesterday printed an overdrawn and would-be sensational story of the domestic troubles of Dr.Seth Knowles and wife, at 300 Ninth street southeast, in which it was stated the doctor had trid to shoot his wife, and had finally compelled her and the chil dren to leave him and seek safe! v. A column was thus employed in the Even ing Duplicate, winding up with the statement that the wife had returned and a truce had been patched up. A Globe reporter called upon .Dr. Knowles last night, and was told the story was the purest fabrication, with an evidently malicious intent. Said he: Somebody will have a reparation to make for these outrageous lies. I pro pose to make it sultry both for the paper and for the person who furnished the information. 1 will give $100 for relia ble information which will convict any pecuniarily responsible person of having furnished this story. It is a lie, pure and simple." ••What was the foundation for it?" "There was none, in fact. An irre sponsible reporter evidently ran across some person who wished to do me an in jury and who poured this story into his credulous ears. What do I propose to do? All that the law will offer in the way of damages." CHANGING THE INSPECTORS. What Grain Men Think—Cham ber of Commerce Notes. The matter of changing the state wheat inspectors from one yard to an other continues to be discussed a good deal on tne floor. The move is gener ally condemned by the members, and here are a few opinions on the subject: K. D. Bow-en—These commissioners have systematically ignored the cham ber of commerce, so there is really noth ing for us to say. I have been on com mittees before these state fellows when the chamber was trying to keep No. 1 hard wheat in its original purity, but the advice given by us was never lis tened to, and the result is there is but little of the genuine No. 1 hard to be found. In this matter of changing the inspectors I have nothing to say, he cause 1 was not cognizant of the fact before. Jim Cargill—l think it's a regular farce. Frank Holmes—l think, anyway, the' inspection is very irregular. Cant. Osgood—This matter of chang ing the inspectors is all bosh, especially of a Monday morning with 800 cars on the track. S. S. Linton— inspection is not all what it might be, I know, hut then, every one is liable to error, and I think some folks are rather hard on the in spectors. James Marshal!— The inspection is so bad as a general rule that I often see on the tables two samples from the same car, marked respectively 1 Northern and 2 ditto. Peter O. Peterson— are all mixed up; it may work in the end, hut It will take a long time getting there. G. Sunwall— agree with the moving around plan. It gets the men acquainted thoroughly with the several grades, and is just what is needed. Howard Commons—l think moving the inspectors around all nonsense. Max Verxa—A darned piece of foolish ness. These opinions show that the large majority do not believe in the feasibility or usefulness of this plan of moving the inspectors. The bulls seemed pretty jubilant yes terday morning, as speculative figures showed firm with a tendency to rise. Dispatches from Chicago were strongly bullish in tone. Mr. Smith, of Hastings, Minn., one of the old-time millers, was a visitor on 'change yesterday. C. Bernet, of the firm of Bernet & Craft, St. Louis, paid his first visit to Minneapolis yesterday. He is delighted with the Flour city, and remarked were it not that he is in an old established business he would come here without fail. The Northwest knocks the South silly in its towns, buildings, farms, in fact everything. Mr. Bernet returned home last night. PRINTERS HAPPY. The Scale Raised 5 Cents Per Thousand. Minneapolis newspaper printers are happy, and all because the arbitration committee, selected some time ago to adjust the differences between the printers and the proprietors, have de cided in their favor, as they claim. This committee consisted of County Auditor Condit, O. W. Miller, of the Tribune job office, and D. R. Getchell, of the typographical union, and, after having the matter under discussion for a long time, have come to the following con clusion: The printers give up the ad tisements and cuts, which will now be set by men working on salary, and will receive 42 cents per 1,000 ems for or dinary matter. The afternoon scale will be 37 cents per 1,000. This rule will go into effect Nov. 1. The scale now is 38 cents per 1,000 for morning papers and 3*. cents for evening papers. Many of the printers are not quite pleased at the result of this arbitration and freely claim that the printers will not make anything by it. All the cuts and' advertisements went out as bonuses be fore, and in the Sunday morning papers this was a big item. It is argued by these men that a printer, now having only "straight matter" to work on, can not make as big ''bills'' as he could be fore this rule went into effect. This re mains to be seen, however. The pro prietor of at least one morning paper announces himself as highly pleased at the result, and says he wanted to have the thing done some time ago. PERMANENT PICTURES Selected by the ExpositionA Recognition of the Press. A meeting of the Exposition directors was held yesterday morning at their rooms, 109 Nicollet avenue, when the matter of the pictures to be bought was finally decided upon. S. C. Gale pre sided and the remaining directors pres ent were Messrs. Gilmore, Chute,Steele, Barton, Barber, McGolrick, Nelson. W. i J. Dean, Pray, Bradstreet and C. M. | Palmer. Bills amounting to •510,542.14 were read and approved. Mr. Merrill, chairman of the committee for purchase of pictures, reported the selection of the following pictures: "Quiet Morning in Oresund," C. F. Aagaard; "After the Hunt," Carl Ackermann; "Returning from Church," A. Wallander; "Work ing for the Dear Ones," E. W. Perry; "Waving Grain," Edward Gay; "Near Point Judith," A. T. Bricher; "Even ing, New York Harbor," J. Lyman; "Fishing Boats," William Bradford; "The Local Reporter." T. W. Wood. On motion of Mr. Johnson the report was adopted, and the thanks of the board tendered to the committee for their efforts in behalf of the art de partment. On motion of Mr. Johnson the thanks of the board were tendered 11. Jay Smith for the efficient and de voted services on behalf of the art gal lery during the past year. On motion of Mr. Barber the painting, "The Local Reporter," was presented to the Min neapolis Press club, in recognition of the services of the members of the club on behalf of the Exposition. W. J. Dean was the only dissenting voice, on the plea that as a board of directors they owed nothing to the press, or its club, but admitting at the same time tiiat the Exposition owed a good deal to the newspapers. On motion of Mr. Halm the Spiridon collection was ordered sent to Kansas City by freight, the Exposi tion paying expenses and insurance. On motion of Mr. Johnson, a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Spiridon on account of his efforts in behalf of the art department. On motion of William Steele, a committee of three was ap pointed by the chair to recommend the name of a candidate for general man ager for the ensuing year with account of salary, etc., etc. The chair appointed Messrs. Steele, Chute and Gilmore as such committee. C. M. Palmer acted as secretary pro tern, and the meeting was then adjourned. — . • THE LURLINE BALL. To-Night's Social Event—Personal and Society. The social event of the week will oc cur this evening—the Lurline boat club ball at the West hotel. Very elaborate preparation has been madeand a brill iant party is expected to result. Mem bers of the club have been very active in the sale of tickets and the attendance will run up into the hundreds, but the accommodations are so ample that noth ing like a crush is anticipated. The proceeds of the ball will go toward the new boat house on Lake Calhoun and are expected to reach a fancy figure. The young ladies of the Church of Christ, corner Portland avenue and Eleventh street, will this evening give the entertainment for which they have made elaborate preparations. The prin cipal feature will be an art gallery, in which well known young ladies will personate "Cherry Ripe," "Duchess of Devonshire," "Spanish Donna," "Maud Mailer" and other famous characters. In the musical programme, Miss Bird well, of St. Paul, among others, will take part. The general public is in vited. . The Club Laval, a popular French so cial organization, will give its first sup per and ball to-morrow evening at Har monia hall. * The charity ball for the home for chil dren and aged women will occur at the West hotel on Nov. 22. Tickets, as usual, will be held at $5 each. A CONUNDRUM. "Who is the Editor of the "Thor oughly Alive and Aggressive" Tribune? Considerable curiosity has prevailed, especially in newspaper circles, con cerning the probable outcome of the internecine fight between the powers that be of the Tribune. William Ed win Haskell announced that his pa had come on from Boston to act as an "ar bitrator" or a referee, and the decision of the pater familias is still awaited by an anxious public. Mr. Blethen went to Detroit Monday to attend the meet ing of the Associated Press. William Edwin Haskell, the responsible editor in-chief, was asked yesterday afternoon if there was any tiling new about the situ ation.and very pointedly replied : "Noth ing that we care to announce." There have been rumor s to the effect that the Haskells intend to assert themselves as virtual owners of the paper, and that while Mr. Blethen will be allowed to have full sway in the counting room, his connection with the editorial de partment will he only through the speaking tube, and will be limited to simple inquiries as to "space" at such times as the question as to the size of the paper may arise. The members of the staff of the paper are on the gui vive as to the outcome, and seem to think that if William Edwin is to have full charge there will lie a general weeding out of the . force and the importation of more Bust'n culchaw. The Blethenoniai.s and the Haskellites are divided, each side being confident that the other is to go, but are careful not to express opinions which might be reported. The inquiry "who is editor THE SAINT PAUL DAILY .. GLOBE: WEDNESDAY .-;■ MORNING, \ OCTOBER • 26, .'IBB7. of. the Tribune?" was put to: a number of the talented journalists employed on the paper last eveuing.but the answer was invariably a non-com mittal "dunno," or a [guarded "give it up." From these confessions it is to be inferred that the Tribune is, without a head and is floundering about like a rudderless ship, while Nieolay. Grev stad's -rations and editorials upon foreign missions furnish the food for reflection which is doled out to its read ers. It is quite evident at all events that the Tribune does not intend to apologize for its insult to Mrs. Cleve land, but will endeavor to face the pub lic wrath it has aroused. IN WHOSE NAME? Dr. Eells Corrects a Possible Mis apprehension. To the Editor of the Globe. Please allow me to correct a misap prehension which my friends among the workingmen may get from the re port of my talk before the orthodox ministers Monday morning on the "Re lation of Christianity to the Labor Movement." I did not say that the labor movement was being carried in the name of both God and the devil. 1 simply quoted Carlyle's toast, "The cause of the poor in God's name and the devil's," and remarked that some would be advocates of that cause seemed to echo the latter part of the toast. 1 did not say "that workingmen have great sympathy with the Chicago bomb throwers," but that many of them con sidered the condemned anarchists un justly sentenced, as not having been convicted of actual bomb throwing. Edward Eells, Jr. Police Court News. Joseph Kyel pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct and paid a fine of $5. Allen Tucker, a colored man, arrested while striking his wife, was arraigned on a charge of assault. The case was set for Nov. 8, and Tucker released on his own recognizance. Frank Huntly, a switchman in the Manitoba yard, pleaded guilty to ob structing a crossing by leaving a car there, and was fined $5 and costs. William Delaney was fined $5 on being found guilty of stealing a pair of shoes from W. Knoblanch, A, D. Anderson, Jacob Anderson, Henry Hartman. C. Cullen, E. C. Olm stead, Mercer Joseph, Martin King, Daniel McGigan, Hattie Haskel, Fred Myers, James Egan, Jerry Shea and Mike Hanson were found guilty of being drunk, and paid the usual fine. Short Speeches. Health Officer Kilvington—The own ers of sundry large blocks and tene ment rows will soon be in for the wrath to come. The changes made necessary by the sanitary code will cost them maybe $40, but they think no more of $40 than I do of a million. R. C. Kalkhoffl admit my weakness for base ball, and would give a good deal to see Minneapolis have a team next year that will go to the top. A Politician am afraid St. Louis has left us far in the shade in the matter of the national conventions. Its people have been quietly at work for the past three months. Freeman P. Lane— you a Scx day Globe? I mislaid mine, and tried to get along with a Tribune, but 1 feel as though I had missed my dinner. Pointers on the Play. Modjeska was a decided success last night at the Grand as Mary Stuart, and her audience was exceedingly enthusi astic. At the matinee "Donna Maria" will be given and to-night "As You Like It" will be the bill, with Modjeska as Rosalind. • Lillian Lewis made quite a hit at the Hennepin avenue last night in Wilkie Collins' thrilling play, "The New Mag dalen." For to-day's matinee and this and to-morrow evenings, "Article 47" will be tht bill. The work of hanging the curtain at the People's theater was begun yester day, and there is no doubt the theajber will be entirely ready for the opening on Monday. The stage work and draper ies are about all that remain to be done. Sol Smith Russell will give "Be witched" at the Grand the last half of the week. The advance sale has been unusually good. "Little Sunshine" will be given this afternoon and for the last time to-night. To-morrow the bill will be changed to "Colorado Ranchmen." We Must Have Water. The question of purchasing pumps for the new pumping station at Shingle creek was discussed by the council committee on water works yesterday morning. On a motion made by Aid. Mills, at a previous meeting, Aid. Mills, Engineer Rinker and Supt. Matt Walsh were made a committee to make a tour of the different cities and see what pumps would be best. The committee will leave Minneapolis the first of next week. Among other cities visited will be Chicago, Cleveland, Brooklyn, Buf falo and Philadelphia. To Be Married. Marriage licenses were issued yester day to Daniel W. Woolsey and Lillian Roche, Andrew M. Anderson and Hul dah E. Larson, William L.Maynardand Lizzie Gross, Otto Wing and Mollie Tor- Sensoii, G. Krist Opheim and Jessie [ailson, John Burke and Nellie Coak ley, Wilbert J. Paquette and Cina Olm stead, John P. Crooker and Anna A. March, Arthur M. Estes and Veronica Dib, August Larson and Sophia John son, Stanley W. Farnham and Lillie J. Tompkins, Henry Keers and Mary J. Quady, Charles A. Peterson and Annie Roden. Liquor Cases Nollied. In the case of A. S. Towers and John Doe, indicted for selling liquor without a license, a nolle was entered. Towers is a druggist, and his clerk, whose name was not known to the grand jury, was the one who sold the liquor, and was therefore indicted as John Doe. The deputy sheriff who was sent to make the arrest reported that there was no clerk working there by that name nor ever had been. Wanted His Money. Deputy Sheriff L. Henry Lucker was called as a witness in a case yesterday, but collected his fee of 81 before being sworn, much to the disgust of the attor ney who called him. Henry has not at tended court very long, but he knows a thing or two about when fees are paid just the same. He Got Off Easy. A. B. Bunting, a lawyer, and C. F. Hurley, residing on Marshall street northeast, between Fourth and Fifth, became involved in a quarrel over a bill at the latter's house Monday evening, during which the attorney was ejected so forcibly that one of his legs was broken. He was removed to St. Barna bas hospital. Missing Files. Clerk of Court Davenport has had a number of papers stolen from the files in his office, presumably by attorneys. According to the penal code this consti tutes a felony, and the matter is now being investigated with the idea of in dicting some of the guilty parties when the next grand jury meets. Alili SORTS. The motor company has introduced a new device which may prevent accident and will keep the dizzy conductor at his post. Under the new system the hell cord connects only the engine and the first car. Bells have been placed in all coaches, and the rear coach of every train must signal the coach in advance, which in turn signals the engine. In this way the train will not start until every car has given notice. The Dcs Moines-Minneapolis game under discussion at Chicago yesterday, was not brought up for any effect it might have on the standing of the clubs, hut to see whether Foster should pay *85 guarantee money or not. The last Dcs Moines-Minneanolis game stood 3 to 3, when Umpire Fessenden called it on account of darkness. Minneapolis asked to have it called, but the umpire refused. The game proceeded and Min neapolis got a man on tlurd, with one man out, when FeSflenden promptly called the game. Foster protested -and claimed the game and refused to play it off next day as a tie. lies Moines went on the field and claimed the game, though there was no umpire present, and demanded the usual guarantee, which Foster refused. Jamie Gray will edify the Caledonian club with a paper on Hallowe'en cus toms. It has been many years since Jamie used to unhinge gates, stretch ropes across the sidewalk and place bricks in innocent looking hats, but he can doubtless still remember those halcyon days when he little dreamed he would ever come to working on the Flyblown. . Director Dean was not in favor of pre senting an Exposition souvenir to the Press club. Come to think-of it. Di rector Dean has not been mentioned very frequently in the press, but of course that fact had no connection with his views. ..* *:. .'X The base ball season must be over. Winkleman and Klopf, the last of the Minneapolis contingent, left yesterday for their homes in Washington and Mil waukee, respectively. The suggestion of Mayor Ames that something should be done to provide public amusement in the way of winter sports, seems to meet with universal ap proval. If the police are to be compelled to discard their coon-skin overcoats as per instructions, there will be a vigorous kick which the police commission will feel. «• The mayor is off on another hunting excursion, but it is safe to predict that he will not write any letter to the "two Bills" upon his return. A lordly police Inspector proposes to regulate the population of Minneapolis by deciding who shall live in the town and who shall not. This is police com mission reform with a vengeance. If the management of the Tribune survives the Burchard editorial upon "Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland as Mere Peo ple," it will only he to face the series of libel suits which Elder Stewart has in stituted against the paper. The chick ens are coming home to roost. Col. ("-Goodrich . Fay, who has been spending the past ten days in the city on a pleasure trip, will leave to-morrow for Boston, en route to England, where he hopes to spend a regular old fashioned Christinas. Col. Fay is a splendidly preserved type of the fine old English gentleman, and his appear ance in the West hotel lobby always at tracted attention, especially on one eventful morning about 4 o'clock, when he came down the elevator in his robe de nuit in quest of a booze, ye know, lis will come again, he says, but mean while goes to .boston, on his way to En gland.

Cincinnati, Oct. 25.—The announce ment that the Fidelity bank would de clare a dividend of 25 per cent, on Oct. 31 was the subject of much surprise here. Hundreds of the depositors sold their interests as low as 8 and 10 per cent, on the dollar, and the fact : that there is to be a dividend with more to follow is grateful news. There is now in the vaults of the sub-treasury to the credit of the bank, $1,300,000. Of this sum $(500,000 will be divided among those of the depositors who have proved up their claims. The balance will be used in paying claims that will be proved later. There are a number of claims however, which Receiver Arm strong will contest in court. Two of the principal claims that will be contested amount to $1,400,000. Of this amount $700,000 is held in Chicago and the bal ance in New York. The reason that Receiver Armstrong will contest these claims is that he holds them to be I per sonal debts of the bank. . /j//iuished houses you can get " "'*. if you advertise, you bet.

He is Getting Out a Book and Talking Politics. New Yobk, Oct.' 25.—A morning paper says: Congressman William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, is in the city revising the last proofs of his forthcom ing book on the industries of the South. A reporter found him last night and asked him what the Republicans pro posed to do in defense of the tariff when congress reconvened. He said, among other things: It rests with the majority in the house to take the initiative in this matter. The presi dent, in view of his duty to offer such sug gestions as he may have to congress, will be the method by which such action by the Fif tieth congress will be invited. To prepare himself, Mr. Cleveland has had a series of conferences with such of the leaders of his party as he cared to talk with. It is said that me result of these conferences will not only be the embodiment of suggestions in the president message to congress, but the sub mission of a detailed scheme of revenue re vision. The popular impression appears to be that that wing of the Democratic party that is called protectionist has not been in vited to tdese conferences at Oak View, and that it will not be prepared to indorse the conclusions which President Cleveland has accepted. How this may be Ido not know. 1 have heard from many sources that though Mr. Carlisle would not permit the question of the repeal of the tobacco taxes to be sub mitted to the last session, he and his friends have decided since then not only to permit it to be submitted, but to favor the repeal. 1 am told, however, that they will not consetn to the abolition of any other revenue tax. If the repeal of the tobacco tax shall be sub mitted as a separate proposition the Repub licans will undoubtedly accept it, for that re duction alone would bring the revenue re ceipts down about $28,000,000 in one year. ill. however, the proposition be connected with one to reduce customs duties, in the hope of thereby curtailing the amount of fturrent revenue, the measure will be resisted 'by the Republicans. The Republican atti .tude on the question might be thus summed up to its free trade opponents: The object to be obtained is a reduction of revenue and jthis is the only means of averting a commer cial and financial crisis which may be as much greater in its tornado-like effects than those, of 1837 and 1857 as is the magnitude Of the manufacturing, financial and other In terests of the country greater. Yet you pro pose to us to make such changes in our tariff as. will: by inviting increased importations embarrass many of our productive industries while increasing the daily receipts of the ■ country in spite of the repeal of the tobacco - taxes which you offer.
