A SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
An Unknown Man Badly Hurt
About the Head on Washington
Avenue.
"What may prove to be a fatal runa
way took place on Washington avenue,
between Second and Fourth avenues
south yesterday afternoon. Between 5
and ii o'clock a young man de
cidedly under the influence of
liquor was observed driving a horse
and buggy up and down the street.
.lust be fore Co" clock the horse became
frightened and ran away, throwing the
young man out. As he fell he became
entangled in the reins and was dragged
some distance, his head striking the
pavement at every jump the horse
made. When near Third avenue the
horse shook itself loose and left the
man lying in the street. lie was picked
up unconscious and taken to the city
hospital. Up to midnight he had not
recovered his senses, and fears were
entertained that he might not live. No
one could be found who knew the un
fortunate fellow, and he had nothing in
his pockets which would disclose his
identity.
The name of the man who was hurt
ii! the runaway on Washington is Peter
Beson. lie is employed by a grocery
firm on Riverside avenue.
A PECULIAR CASE.
Con O'Brien Found in the Street,
Badly Cut Up.
Con O'Brien, a young man well known
about town, was found on North Third
street yesterday afternoon by Patrolmen
Corey and Zuloskey, in an unconscious
condition. He was covered with blood
and presented a terrible sight. The
unfortunate man was taken to
the central station and Po
lice Surgeon Kelly called to dress
his wounds, which consisted of numer
ous stabs and cuts in the head and face.
O'Brien came to about an hour after he
was found, but could not tell who had
hurt him. The last he remembered, he
said, he was walking up Third street.
After his wounds were dressed he was
sent home. He will be around again in
a day or so. a
ANTI-POVERTY TOPICS.
The Abolition of a Personal Prop
erty Tax Advocated.
There were so many people in at
tendance at the anti-poverty meeting
held last evening jn Windom hail that
the seating capacity of the hall was not
sufficient to accommodate them. The oc
casion of such a large turnout was ow
ing partly to the desire to hear Rev.
Kristofer Jansen, who delivered an ad
dress, and partly to the growing inter
est which is being taken in the move
ment inaugurated by this society to
have the next legislature submit to the
people an amendment to the state con
stitution abolishing the personal prop
erty tax.
The meeting was called to order by
A. .1. Buel, who stated that he had dur
ing the past two weeks seen about 450
of the business men of this city and had
asked them to sign a petition, which is
to be presented to the next legislature,
asking to have this question of abolish
ine the personal property tax submitted
to the people, and he was glad to say
that in nearly every instance he found
them in hearty sympathy with the
movement, and obtained the signatures
of over four-fifths of them to the peti
tion.
"When presenting the petition for
their signatures, 1 made it a practice to
ask them this question: 'Do you not
charge just the amount of your tax more
for your goods than you would if there
was no such tax levied,' and in every
instance they have told me that they
were compelled to do so, or else go out
of business. It is the same way with
the money loaners, they add the amount
of this tax to the interest which they
demand, and consequently the man who
is so hard up that he is forced to mort
gage his home, is also obliged to
pay this tax in addition to the
interest which he is compelled to pay on
the money loaned, while the money
leaner, by making a bogus assignment
of the mortgage to some non-resident, is
enabled to obtain just the amount of
the tax on his mortgage more than he is
entitled too. In consequence the inter-
est demanded in this state on money is
2 per cent higher than it would be if the
tax was abolished."
He then introduced Mr. Jansen, and
stated that he would make an address
on the land laws of the ancient Jews.
Mr. Jansen started out by calling at
tention to the old Mosaic "law, which
only allowed the Jews to sell their farm
and pasture land for a limited time and
which permitted them to again take pos
session in the Jublileeyear, which came
around once in fifty years, thereby caus
ing the buyer to "cultivate the land in
order to get any return for his money
and effectually doing away with the
system of holding large tracts of land
for speculative purposes and making no
use of it. lie also called attention
to a provision which compelled
the holders of land to allow all land to
lie fallow during the Sabbath year,
which was every seventh year, thereby
allowing the land to recuperate and re
main fertile. Under these laws the
Jewish people were prosperous and
pauperism was unknown, and these land
was all cultivated: but after the Romans
conquered the country and this laud
laws were abolished every thing was
changed, and we find in the time of
Christ the country swarming with beg
gars and the laboring people oppressed,
by a wealthy, aristocratic and monopo
listic class of people, who possessed the
country. It was this class which Jesus
referred to, when he said that it was
easier for a camel to go through a
needle's eye than for a rich man to
enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
MEMORIAL. SERVICES.
Veterans of the War Listen to
Sacred Exhortations.

memorial services, commemorative of
the fallen in the war of the rebellion.
The several posts, G. A. K„ selected
their churches and marched thither in
bodies, being accompanied, for the
most part, by the Sons of Veterans and
the Woman's Belief Corps attached to
the posts. Many of the sermons
preached were very feelingly delivered,
anil it was the aim of nearly every
minister to convey the lesson that
"Peace hath her victories no less than
war."
Rawlins post worshiped, at Park Av
enue Presbyterian church and heard a
very impressive sermon by Dr. Wood
bury on "The Winning of the Great
Peace."

of Odd Fellows.
"The Plumed Knight of Eternity"
was the subject of the discourse, deliv
ered by Dr. McKaig at Hennepin Ave
nue Methodist church, before Oliver P.
Morton Post. In the evening many old
soldiers heard an interesting sermon on

Seven Jails and Libby Prison," which
was full of personal reminiscences. •
Morgan post attended the Centenary
Methodist, and Dr. Van Anda preached
on the theme: "Putting on the Armor."

BENNETT SEMINARY.
Dr. Burrell's Baccalaureate Ser
mon on "Girls' Works."
Westminster church was filled to its
utmost capacity last evening on the oc
casion of the delivery of the baccalaure
ate sermon of Bennett seminary by the
pastor of the church, Rev. Dr. Burrell.
The audience was a fashionable
one, being made up of mem
bers of the church, the students
o. Bennett seminary, and their friends.
The young lady graduates occupied,
seats directly in front of the pulpit, and
looked as happy and contented as young
ladies who have just completed their
education at a first -class college can
look. The sermon followed the regular
evening services and was a grandly
eloquent one. It was well deliv
ered and was attentively listened
to by the vast congregation. He took
his text from Genesis viii., 24. It was a
great pleasure, he said, to be permitted
to address the young lady graduates,
who are now going out into the world
for themselves, so to speak. Not to the
graduates alone do I speak this evening,
but to all the youngladieshere. 1 want
to speak to you of the doors of useful
ness which are open to you in these lat
ter days. The women of olden times
were little better than dolls,
but how changed things are now.
There is the world of home open to you.
What blessings rest on the kindly
daughter, the "helpful sister, and the
cheerful helper. As an ancient queen
said, keep yourselves pure, and let God
make others great. It's a little thing to
be faithful in home life, but out of this
home life come all the good things of
this life and the life hereafter.
Then there is society. 1 will not belit
tle the influence of young ladies in so
ciety, for they are the mainstays of it.
High birth, however, has but little to
do with goodness in this life. Beauty
is vain, and cannot last for always.
But goodness of heart and kindness of
manner is everything to a young woman.
The third world which calls you know
is industry. It is very important that
you should all be able to earn your own
living, should misfortune come upon
you. The wheel of fortune is turning
all the time and the. rich man of to-day
is liable to be poor to-morrow. There
fore 1 would have you all
learn to reverence industry, and
know how to earn your own
iving. It is a mistake to teach
your boys how to earn their own
living, and let yonr girls grow un in
ignorance, and then have them go "out
ami live on the boys. The strike in a
big factory here recently demonstrated
to me that a fairly well educated girl
of to-day can earn as much in a week
as-|a man could;in a month 100 years ago.
Then there is the Christian work for
you to do. This is an important work,
and too much attention can not be paid
to it. God has lifted up women, and
has sent them out all over the world to
do God's work. But to do good a woman
must make up her mind to have some
one talk about her— that has always
been and always will be.
In closing, allow me to give you three
words of counsel :
First— Be sober; take a serious view
of life.
Second— Have an ambition: let all
your thoughts and energy be centered
on one point; nothing can be accom
plished unless you do.
Third— your life count: don't
let it be a blank, which it will be unless
you set your eyes toward the cross.
PREACHING YOUNG MEN NEED.
Rev. C. F. Thwing Gives Some
Points on the Subject.
Rev. Charles F. Thwing's sermon to
young men at Plymouth church yester
day was decidedly interesting, and was
listened to by a large congregation.
The title of his sermon was
"Young Men and the Preaching
They Need." He said, in substance:
With the dawn of each Sabbath morn
ing, and with the failing of the day
light on each Sabbath evening, the sun
in his rising and decline sees millions
of people in the world assemble in
churches for the public worship of God.
In this service of worship in all churches
not using a liturgy, the chief part is oc
cupied by the sermon. The sermon is
an address upon religious truth con
tained in' the Bible, made by a man to
men. The sermon has as its chief aim
persuasion. To be effective, therefore,
the writer of the sermon should have in
view tiie character of those who are to
be influenced by the sermon. One voting
man, a student, says: "Sermons drawn
from the lives of great and good men,
and of the trust to be placed in our
Heavenly Father, and also in which the
great questions of life and death are
evolved, sermons that make us think of
what we are, our duty, our responsi
bility (without leaving out political re
sponsibility, which is another expres
sion for love of our country), gratitude
to parents, love to brothers" and sisters,
and our destination." A young lawyer
says: "Most men have in their minds
sufficient abstract formula of truth. The
province of preaching is to show where
these touch my case, and to induce me
to make up my mind to do, to follow the
application, to will.
Says a young merchant, "Plain, prac
tical, spiritual." In the same mood an
other young merchant says, "Simple
preaching and teaching of the gospel of
Christ, first and always," Likewise re
marks a third: "Many young men of mv
acquaintance do not go to church, and
many who do go are there simply be
cause they find it pleasant to pass Sun
day morning that way, but who do not
believe very much of what they hear
from the pulpit. They believe in
Christianity as a life as they believe in
Buddhism. They believe the pulpit
should ever hold up high standards of
morality, inculcate the best doctrines of
right living; are particular about the
ointment, but indifferent as to the jars
which contain it." One who has' re
cently become a Christian says: "Plain
application of the gospel in regard to
right and wrong living, and the results
present and eternal which follow the
acceptance or rejection of Christ as a
savior."
A young lawyer says: "Young men
want a largeness, a freedom and sug
gestiveness in their preaching that is
applicable to all creeds. Most Sunday
school teaching is a farce; it is mere
henpecking at the truth, however
reverent."" A young manufacturer
bears the following testimony: "The
gospel, pure and simple. Repent or ye
cannot be saved. 1 think that people
expect such preaching, if some of the
sinners do get offended." A young
man of earnest piety says: "A
good practical sermon, plain talk
on the present day, anecdotes
used as illustrations, which show
the advantage of Christian life, and the
misfortune and sufferings of riotous
living." A young doctor, who is a type
of manly piety, says: "As to preaching
vigorous, robust, muscular Christianity,
based upon the primary principles of
faith, and devoid of all the et cetera ot
'THE' ''SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 188 S.
the creed, that will teach them to live the
life that now is, that will teach them to
think less concernedly, about their
own salvation, and more concernedly of
the uplifting of other men." Another
young doctor remarks: "Very little
theology, and much Christian moral
ity." Preaching Christ answers the son
of a minister, who is himself far from
being a minister. A merchant says:
"The best sermon, and the one that I
most enjoy in the whole year, is the ser
mon to children in June; simple, with
illustrations to make it pointed."
"Personally," says a young banker,
"I am greatly interested and benefited
by hearing practical sermons preached
from every -day working Christianity."
Says a young lawyer: "That which
shows the character and manliness of
Christ, that which induces individual
thought. I close these extracts with a
long extract from a prominent young
man of our city, who is no longer with
us, having recently gone abioad for a
course of study, and whom as a conse
quence I am at liberty to name, Dr.
Albeit Shaw. "The work among young
men must, 1 think, be chiefly the work
of individuals for and with individuals.
The strange young man must find a
friend as well as a sermon at church.
"I do not like sensational preaching
or services arranged obviously to draw.
The plain gospel preached with sym
pathetic reference to the practical diffi
culties and dangers of young men, just
as we hear it preached in our church,
is what seems to me most useful—
than lectures or essays. I recognize
that some people do demand entertain
ment instead of a sermon, and ask that
their minister should be as restful and
as interesting as the platform lecturer,
and a good deal more so. I recognize
that ministers are to be found who meet
this demand. They have their reward.
But I also recognize . that the
best men and women, even the
best young men and women no more
demand that the pulpit should be enter
taining, then they demand that the
gospels or the epistles should be enter
taining. Entertainment is well, but I
believe that the place for entertainment
is not in the church. Eating and sleep
ing are well, but the place for eating
and sleeping is not the parlor.
I want severity in sermons, if need
there be for severity, andl want tender
ness, I want His love, I want the in
spiration of the love of my Christ.
It is thus, were I in the pew, that 1
should desire any man fo deal with me.
It is thus, too, that I, your minister,
would deal with you. You young men
are walking on slippery places. You
must, like the soldier, halt, right about
face, inarch, double quick. You are
young men living a good life or you are
living a base life. Begin, begin now,
begin here. You are young men trying
to live so as to win a noble character.
By yourselves you cannot accept Christ.
You are, young men. haunted by your
sin or shame. Quit your evil. Ask the
pardoning Savior to forgive you. You
are in sorrow; He is the Savior who
wept for a friend. You 'are not a Christ
ian. Love the Christ, love the Christ,
love the Christ.
THE WAT. it OF LIFE.
It Is Offered as a Free Gift to
Save Us.
At Westminster church yesterday
morning Rev. D. J. Burrell preached
from John vii., 37. He said:
It was the last or "great day" of the
Feast of Tabernacles. On that day a spe
cial ceremony was performed, known as
"the effusion of waters;" a memorial of
the gushing of the waters from Cue rock
in the wilderness, and a prophecy of the
fountain of salvation which was to be
opened in Messiah's blood. The order
of the ceremony was as follows: The
high priest went down from the temple
to the brook Siloa and dipped thence a
pitcher of water. As he turned to re
trace his steps the temple choirs began
a soft melody, which increased more and
more in volume until, as he reached the
temple court and poured out the water
at the foot of the brazen altar. the choirs
and orchestras and voices of the vast
congregation all united in the great
hallel, "Oh, give thanks unto the Lord,
for He is God, for His mercy endureth
forever!" It was at the conclusion of
this service, when the people were dis
persing, that Jesus, standing perhaps
between the pillars of Solomon's porch,
cried in a loud voice, "If any man
thirst," etc.
First— Here is a case supposed: "If
any man thirst." This "if" includes
ail; because none is satisfied. Pope
says: "Man never is, but always to be
blest;" andCowper:
"I sum up half mankind
And add two thirds of the remaining half.
And find the total of their fears and hopes ■
Dreams, empty dreams."
This unreast is an evidence of our
noble origin. It is homesickness, long
ing for God. St. Augustine said: "We
came out from God, and we shall never
rest until we rest in Him." The Psalm
ist wrote: "As the hart panteth after
the waterbrooks, so panteth my soul
after Thee, O God."
Second— Here is a remedy suggested :
'Let him come unto Me and drink."
Who is this that puts himself against all
creeds and philosophies and moralities
in this "unto mcV" Verily, those were
words of blasphemous presumption un
less the speaker was what he claimed to
be, the only begotten and well-beloved
Son of God. It had been prophesied
that in the last days one would
open springs of water in the desert and
cause its waste places to blossom as the
rose. He was represented as standing
at the corners of the streets and call
ing, "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come
ye to the waters." The man of Nazar
eth here puts himself forward as that
long-looked-for Messiah, the manifesta
tion of God Himself, whose love alone
can satisfy a thirsty soul.
Third— Here is a promise vouchsafed.
It is said that the man who drinks of
this fountain shall not only satisfy his
own thirst, but "it shall be in him a well
of water," springing up, overflowing,
and supplying the necessity of other
souls. No disciple of Christ liveth unto
himself. He follows in the footsteps of
his Master, who went abroad doing good.
This cup of livin _ water from "the
well by the gate of Bethlehem" was
purchased with a great price, but is of
fered as a fret. gift. Its life-giving vir
cue has bit : me condition affixed to it;
namely, it must be accepted. Water in
the fount-tin is of no use to a soul per
ishing of thirst; we must dip it un and
drink it.
, HOW AYE BREATHE.
An Interesting Discourse by Rev.
H. M. Simmons.
Rev. H. M. Simmons preached at the
First Unitarian church yesterday morn
ing on "The Parable of the Breath."
He traced in detail the development of i
this function through the ascending
scale of animal life to its culmination in
birds and mammals. He said its action
was to burn effete matter from the sys
tem and in the process bring warmth
and a higher life. Finally, he traced
the same process through other fields.
Thought is a breathing, burning out old
ideas in the, mind to bring better. The
mental growth of every one of us, from
childhood to age, is such a loss of old
beliefs to get larger. The general his
tory of human thought is the same pro
cess extended. Holmes said chemistry
is ever spoiling on our hands— and so is
every science and system of thought —
and opinions perish like peaches. But
the loss is always gain. Chemistry,
while spoiling, has been growing
by it— until it outdoes the dreams
of alchemists. Old astronomical
theories have perished, but only to
show a diviner universe. Old theories
of the thunderbolt; have spoiled; but
oily to bring the telegraph, and make
the lightning serve us in countless
ways, from drawing the street cars to
ringing the door-bell. In morality, too,
what vast progress has come through
this burning out of old errors ! What a
moral progress from ancient savages
eating each other to modern society
feeding its hungry and founding hos
pitals and asylums of a hundred kinds!
What a moral progress even from the
days when David, slaying a faithful
servant to get his spouse, was yet con
sidered a man after God's own heart,
and when Solomon with his 700 wives
was thought worthy to make the longest
prayer in the Bible, to -day, when
either of those saints would be
regarded as fitter for the penitentiary
than for composing inspired Scripture.
For in religion, too, this breathing and *
burning of old beliefs has brought
progress. Ancient ideas of Deity were
destroyed to bring better; and Samuel's
God ordering infants slain like insects
gave way to Isaiah's God of justice and
Jesus' God of love. So in Christian his
tory the mediaeval doctrine that deity
would torture heretics eternally and
wanted Christians to begin it now, and
the later Westminster theory that men
are totally depraved and their Maker
somewhat more so have gone and
brought a more humane and reverent
thought. Religion has been breathing
ever more freely ot the divine atmos
phere of truth and love, and so burning ,
out its old errors and being warmed to :
more than mammalian heat and being
lifted like a bird, to sing in ever sweeter
strains. y {?if f

Arrested at Grand Forks.
Word was received here last night
that W. E. Masters, wanted by the po
lice here, is under arrest at Grand
Forks, Dak. It will be remembered
that on March 4. Masters, who was em
ployed by a milkman named Sweeny,
passed two forged checks on
.bred Bohan, a saloonkeeper out .
on Plymouth avenue. Before leaving
the city he stole a valise and some cloth
ing belonging to his employer's son. In
formation was received here a few days
later that Masters was under arrest at
Bottineau, Dak. Inspector Kinnev went
there, but found that he had goiie, es
caped, so the sheriff said.
Through a Window. «
Early last evening a laboring man
named Anderson, residing in North
Minneapolis, created a sensation in his
neighborhood by throwing his four
weeks-old baby out through the win
dow of his house and then jump
ing out after him. He was
arrested and locked up. Neither
he nor the infant was injured. Ander
son had been sick for some time and for
the last few days has been out of his
head. He imagined that some one was
going to kill him and jumped out to es
cape his pursuer.
Jumped Out a Window.
Martin King, the janitor of the post
office, jumped or fell from a window in
the second story of Barry's hotel, 23
First street southeast evening sustaining
severe injuries about the neck and back
He came into the hotel about 7 o'clock in
the evening and was assigned to a room.
He remained there some time, and then
raised a window and jumped out into
the alley, He was taken to his home,
1715 Fifth avenue south, after he had
been cared for by a physician.
Gleason Remains.
Prof. Gleason entertained another
large audience at the Washington rink
last evening, and gave one of the most
interesting exhibitions of his skill as a
horse trainer of his engagement. He
will remain three nights longer, and
this evening he will handle a number of
horses which have dispositions to run
away, kick, bite, balk, etc. Popular
prices are to prevail during the re
mainder of his engagement.

How I Identified Roscoe Conk
ling Once Upon a Time.
"Tears ago I was employed by the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
railroad at the junction a few miles out
of Baltimore," said a telegraph operator
''One afternoon an unusually handsome
and athletic man entered the little sta
tion. 'Does the limited express for
Washington stop here?' he inquired.
'No, sir' 1 replied. 'Can you stop it?'
'Not without a order from the main
office.' 'I will explain my situation to
you,' said the stranger, 'in the hope you
will do all in your power to aid me. I
came from Washington to intercept at
Baltimore a gentleman who is on his
way from New York to the capital. He
is on the limited express. It is of the
freastest importance I should see him
before he reaches Washington. A rail
way conductor directed me to the union
station, where he said the limited would
stop, but I lost my way and wandered
here after a long tramp."
"Telling him I would see what I could
do for him, I telegraphed to Phila
delphia for permission to stop the ex
press. 'You might use my name if you
think it would he of any use,' said the
gentleman. 'And your name is—?' said
I. 'Conkling— Roscoe Conkling,' re
plied the getleman. I flashed over the
wire. 'Senator Conkling wants me to
step the limited express for him to get
aboard.' The answer came back: 'How
do you know it is Conkling?' Turning
to him I said, 'Philadelphia wants iden
tification.' 'Will this do?" he asked,
displaying a handsome gold watch with
his initials, 'R. C, engraved on the case.
At the same time, either by design or
chance, he removed his hat. Grasping
the key, I ticked these words to Phila
delphia: 'Letters "R. C." on gentle
man's watch, but I know he is Conkling
by his flaunting beard and the Hyperion
curl of Nash's cartoons,. Straightway
the rapper sounded: 'Stop train, by
order 11. F. Kenney, general superin
tendent.' ffiffiiiiffffl
'•Conkling was profuse in his thanks.
As the express shot around the curve,
with him safely on board, he made a
courteous gesture of farewell to me."
A JLESSON IN GRAMMAR.
What to Say, Instead of What Is
Not to Be Said.
Boston Transcript.
Careless habits of speech are among
the prominent faults of our young peo
ple, even those young people who have
advantages of schools and intelligent
home surroundings. Recognizing this,
the professor of English literature at
Wellesley college has prepared a list of
"words, phrases and expressions to be
avoided," from which the young (and
old) readers will receive many service
able hints:
Guess, for suppose or think.
Fix, for arrange or prepare.
Ride and drive, interchangeably.
(Americanism.)
Real, as an adverb, in expressions
real good, for really or very good, etc.
Some or any, in an adverbial sense;
c. g., "I have studied some," for some
what. "I have not studied any," for
at all.
Some ten days, - for about ten days.
Not as I know, for not that 1 know.
Storms, for it rains or snows moder
ately.
Try an experiment, for make an ex
periment.
Singular subjects with contracted
plural verb; c. g. "She don't skate
well.
Plural pronoun with singular antece
dent: "Every man or woman should do
their duty;" or "If you look any one
straight in the face, they will flinch."
Expect for suspect.
r - First-rate as an adverb.
Nice. Indiscriminately. (Real nice
may be doubly faulty.)
Had rather, for would rather.
Had better, for would better.
Right away, for immediately.
Party, for person.
Promise, for assure.
Posted, for informed.
Post graduate, for graduate. '
Depot, for station.
: Stopping, for staying.
Try and do, for try to do.
Try and go, for try to go.
I Cunning, for small.dainty.
Cute, for acute.
Funny, for odd or unusual.
Above, for foregoing, more than or
beyond.
Does it look good enough? for well
enough.
Somebody else's, for somebody's else.
Like I do, for as 1 do.
Not as good as, for not so good as.
Feel badly, for feel bad. •
. Feel good, for feel well.
Between seven for among seven.
Seldom or ever, for seldom if ever, or
seldom or never.
Taste and smell of, when used transi
tively. Illustration: We taste a dish
which tastes of pepper.
More than you think for, for more
than you think.
These kind, for this kind.
Nicely, in response to an inquiry for
health.
Healthy, for wholesome.
Just as soon, for just as lief.
Kind of, to indicate a moderate de
gree.
The matter of, for the matter with.
M. Pasteur on Vivisection.
A Texan who was horribly bitten by a
mad wolf went to Paris some weeks
since for treatment by Pasteur. He is
returning cured. Parting with his
overjoyed patient Pasteur said : "I ask
one favor. Use your own influence to
stop the silly sentimental crusade
against vivisection. Without vivisec
tion the world will be deprived of half
the benefits of science." The slow dis
section of a living animal is a repulsive
thing to think of. But so was dissec
tion of any kind once. Many accidents
have contributed to the advance of
medicine in a knowledge of the living
body which cadavers could not give.
Pasteur's experiments would be worth
less without experiments on living ani
mals. It now begins to be admitted
that resistance to vivisection is as fu
tile and wrong as it was to dissec
tion of dead humau bodies hun
dreds of years ago. And yet there is
enough unscientific sentinientalism yet
existing to retard progress by means of
vivisection. Hence Pasteur's appeal to
Americans in behalf of science, which
he concludes with the pregnant ques
tion: "Who shall say that man must
sacrifice the good of his kind because of
the possible -gain to an infinitesimal
portion of a lower race?" Just such
■ appeals were once made in favor of
ordinary dissection.

The Only Alternative.
Merchants Traveler.
"1 tell you," said the physician ear
nestly speaking of the baleful effects of
ice water, "that there is no more deadly
enemy to human life than ice water.
There is danger lurking in every water
cooler."
"I know it," said his auditor. "No
body realizes that more than I do. The
only refuge and alternative is the beer
cooler."
Pat's Theory.
Merchant Traveler.
•'I wonder why it makes a felly

Irishman to another,

"Begorrah, it sets yez to lookin' fur

A SPRING POEM.
Oh ! come to me, my Mary Ann;
I'm waiting for you long,
Oh ! come and carry my dinner can,
And hear my little song.
I've saved np forty dollars,
And we can rent two rooms, .
And you will have nothing then to do
But sweep with brand new brooms.
Better the wife of an honest man,
Than to live as a hired girl.
Oh ! come and be my darling wife
And I'll make your brown hair curl !
BETTING IN PAIRS.
A Trifling Amusement For Idle
Club Men.
A foreign prince staying in Paris
made a heavy bet with a member of the
Imperial club that he— the prince
would in the course of the next . two
hours be arrested by the police without
committing any offense or provoking the
authorities in any fashion. The way he
won his wager was by dressing himself
in a tattered old blouse, a pair of
mouldy boots full of holes, and a disrepu
table burlesque of a hat. Thus attired he
walked up to one of the most aristo
cratic cafes in Faris, and, seating himself
at a table, called for a cup of chocolate.
The waiter, as was only natural, did not
care about serving so suspicious-looking
a customer before he was assured that
payment would be forthcoming, so he
told the prince that he must pay in
advance. Upon this his highness
pulled a bundle of bank notes our of his
pocket, and. picking out one of con
siderable value, told him to take the
price of the chocolate out of it and bring
back the change. The man immediately
went in search of the owner of the cafe,
who, when he heard the facts of the
case, ordered the chocolate to be served,
and at the same time sent to the
nearest police station for a sergent de
ville. The prince was *of course ar
rested, and taken before a commissary
of police. He announced his rank, and
told his reasons for assuming such an un
princely costume. The authorities were
obdurate at first, but finally they con
sented to send the prince under escort
to the Imperial club, where "the gentle
men with whom the bet had been made
proved his identity, and paid his high
ness the money he had fairly wou.

Furniture and Carpets by Mail.
As an experiment, some six months

not conveniently come to our store,
without considerable expense and loss
of time. The experiment proved so sat
isfactory that we have now ready for
distribution a much larger catalogue of
some fifty pages, with from four to eight
pictures on a page, showing a very com
plete line of furniture, stoves, ranges,
refrigerators, baby carliages and gen
eral household furnishings, together
with price list of carpets, draperies, etc.,
and full instructions as to ordering.

Constitutional Catarrh.
No single disease has entailed more suffer
ing or hastened the breaking up of the con
stitution than Catarrh. The sense of smell
of taste, of sight, of hearing, the hum in voice,
the mind one or more, and seme irnes nil,
yield to its destructive influence. The poi
son it distributes throughout the system at
tacks every vital force,- and breaks up the
most robust of constitutions. Ignored, be
cause but little understood, by most physi
cians, impotently assailed by quacks and
charlatans, those suffering from it have little
hope to be relieved of it this side of the grave.
It is time, then, that the popular treatment of
this terrible disease by remedies within the
reach of all passed into hands at once compe
tent and trustworthy. The new and hitherto
untried method adopted by Dr. Satiford in
the preparation of his Radical Cure has won
the hearty approval of thousands. It is in
stantaneous in affording relief in all head
colds, sneezing, snuffling and obstructed
breathing, and rapidly removes most the op
pressive symptoms, clearing the head, sweet
ening the breath, restoring the senses of smell,
taste and hearing, and neutralizing the
constitutional tendency of the disease to
wards the lungs, liver and kidneys.
Saxfokd's Radical Cube consists of one
bottle of the Radical Cuke, one box of Ca
tarrhal Solvent and Improved Inhaler;
