H.-.-i-rl Illness Mr. Kramlieln
HUrhlj TliuuKUt of by Mr. Horat.
When the (loath of Charles F. Fram
hcin, win. killed himself in front of his
home, 234 West Ninth street, Saturday
night, became generally known yester
day, through the columns of The
C> I(iL c, surprise was manifested
atnoag-~tbase who knew Framheln, -as
ii whs never thought he would commit
such a "rash act, although many were
awaro of bifl eccentric conduct of the
last two weeks. Sincere regret was ex
pressed at his death, and his friends
had n.. hesitancy in attributing as a
cause his recent illness.
City Treasurer Horst said he was
dumfounded when he read in The
G 1 o i> c that Framhein had killed him
self. He says his former employe was
a "valuable assistant in the treasurer's
office, thoroughly conversant with the
business methods of the department,
and a man of unimpeachable reputa
tion. Mr. Hurst says he was aware
that Framhein bad recently appeared
depressed ami melancholy, but that he
never thought there was any danger
di" his ending his life.
"Framhein was a competent em
ploye," said Mr. Horst, "and always
attended strictly to his duties. He was
what is termed the counter clerk. It
vas his duty to take receipts from per-
Bons paying in money and to turn the
papers over to the cashier, who re
ceived the money and signed the re
ceipts, lie never handled any money
himself, and his transactions were
without question. Framhein was re
garded as a fixture in the city treas
urer's department, and was retained by
me when I took control of the office."
The funeral will be held Tuesday
morning at 9 o'clock, from the family
residence, 234 West Ninth street, fol
-1 iwed by services at the Assumption
church.

READING MATTER WANTED
I'oi- the Soldier* of the Third to
Read on Their Voyase.
The rooms in the basement of the
Endicott Arcade, at 145 East Fourth
street, formerly occupied by the Red
Cross, were open yesterday and Satur
daj and will be open today to receive
"Id books and magazines for the Third
regiment, on its way to the Philip
pines, and for the Thirteenth on re
turning. E. W. Robinson, who is In
charge of the rooms, said yesterday
that the supply, both of books and
magazines brought in, was very much
inadequate to the demand. It Is hoped
that today there will be a large In
crease. The books will be read by the
Third on its way out and will be plac
ed in a permanent library at Manila.
The magazines will be given to the
members of the Thirteenth to read on
their way back to the United States.
WOMAN'S HELP IS WANTED
HIDWKI.I. BROTHERS WANT HER
TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST
"TREATIMi"
The American « uittom Ih Snid to
lteprenent Three-Fourths of the
Inpome of the Average Sa
loon.
The meeting held in the interest of
the Anti-Treating' Federation at Peo
ple's church last evening, by the Bid
well brothers, was very largely attend
ed. Kuth of- the Bidwells, who have
served twenty-year "sentences for de
frauding the Bank jf England, made
addresses and George l'.idwell told the
history of his crime. and Repentance as
a prelude to the talk on the work pro
pesed by the federation made by Aus
tin Bidwell.
"We are the first to tackle the rum
power on business methods," said Mr.
Bidwell. "We want to do good in this
direction to condensate, the evil wo
have done. The saloons have poisoned
our yuung men and are the curse of
politics today. All the checks to the
I growing encroachments of this evil, so
l'ar, have been lame and halting. Every
crusade, when the lacts are elicited,
has ended In victory for the rum pow
er.
"There is no law that can be put on
the statute books fhac can crush the
liquor habit out of existence. The
leaders of the Prohibition movements,
so far, have been idealists and have
accomplished nothing. The money
power is the only influence that can
successfully cope with the rum power.
"What we want is the co-operation
of women. Not to secure nickel and
dime contributions, but to secure sig
natures to our pledges that the signer
will neither treat nor be treated. This
will do away with 75 per cent of the
income of the saloons that is now spent
as treat money. The present drinking
custom is a burden on everybody ex
cept the saloonkeepers. The American
habit is ridiculous and absurd. We
want earnest women to take up the
work, and we can win out if they will.
We want to make this work a fad. Our
success will make then a serious blow
to the influence of the saloons, both
politically and from a monetary stand
point."
Rev. Sam- Smith indorsed the work
of the league and then the little cards
bearing the pledges were distributed
among the audience for signatures and
scores were returned signed.
Y. M. C. A. MEN*S~~MEETING,
Dr. A. B. Meldrmu Urges Vunng Men
to Live Aright.
The Sunday afterneon men's meeting
at the Y. M. C. A. rooms was held yes
terday at 4 p. m. A large crowd was
prespnt. A short and interesting de
votional programme oreceded the
speaker, Rev. A. B. Meldrum, D. D
who delivered the address.
Dr. Meldrum was suffering from ill
ness and commenced his able talk by
saying: "In spite i;f racking brain and
various other premonitory signs of the
only real democrat, Ua -grippe,' I
esteem it a great privilege to be hare."
From this the learned divine passed on
to the more serious nature and thought
of the address. Confining his remarks
strictly along the line of thought pe
culiarly adapted to men, he sought to
impress his hearers with the idea of
the manliness, virility and force of
true Christianity. In speaking of the
recent visit of Col. R. G. Ingersoll,
while in no way attempting to answer
his sayings, ht said as an answer to
the great agnostic's declaration— that
he was brought up among those who
were certain, who did not investigate,
etc.— "that it was the first time I ever
knew his relatives were inmates of the
insane asylum."
On the whole the address was a mas
terful and eloquent appeal to young
men to live aright and become true
heroes. Dr. Meldrum closed with a
touching and pathetic incident which
drew moisture to the eyes of many.
The Philomathean male quartette of
Hamline univeisity rendeied several
beautiful selections during the service.
POET AND CREATOR.
London Fre«a> Estimate of Rosen.
thai, the Piunlnt.
Of Rosenthal, the famous pianist, to
appear here Feb. 6, the London Times
said as early as 1895 that he was a
genius not to lie compared to any other
living pianist. The Telegraph, of the
same city, pronounced him at once a
poet and a creator. Last year the
Times said:
«SS / e K doring v, o£ thia work was distin
guished by notable purfty of conception and
repose of style, reminding one forcibly of
Hans yon Bulows reading. But he played
| all the noble variations with such fire brll
j liancy and feeling that his listeners' were
quite 'earned away. 1 a group of Chopin
pieces, and two by Rubinstein, followed with
an extra one by Henselt thrown in- and the
advertised programme was brought to a
close with Liszt's enormously difficult "Don
Juan" fantasia. Herr Rosenthal's perform
ance of the last-named was one of the most
remarkable feats of virtuosity in a London
concert room for many a long day.
Tickets for the remaining five con
certs in the library «course are now on
sale at Howard, Farwell & Co.'s. Single
tickets for the Rosenthal concert can
be reserved at the same place.

SERMON IN A STORY
MEV. F. B. COWGILt'S INNOVA
TION AT THE FIRST M. E.
CHtRCH
STEPHEN RODNEYS PUZZLE
How Could He Live "Without III*
Mother's I'nJik Amid the Menao
lii« Presence of Infidelity Werte
His I'nitli and Hl* Hope Fading
—Some Other Burning Questions
Discussed.
Last evening Rev. F. B. Cowgill, at
the First M. E. church, presented to
his congregation the second chapter of
the serial story. It gave a graphic
description of Stephen Rodney's intel
lectual development and of the relig
ious perplexities into which he fell in
consequence of his science studies. In
his childhood he had heard his infidel
grandfather advocating Darwin's
theory of the universe. His own pastor
had vigorously combatefl this theory
ar.d convinced him that it was hostile
to Christianity, but now he began to
suspect the evolution theory true and
was plunged into the deepest distress.
His horror at the infidelity which he
seemed to be approaching was vividly
described. How could he live without
his mother's faith ar.d his mother's
God?
Dr. Sherman the pastor of Trinity
church, which Rodney attended, was
wiestllng with the problem cf a revival.
Two prayer meeting scenes are describ
**J, in one of which certain brethren,
more zealous than wise, "ripped the
meeting up the back," to use the lan
guage of Brother Mclntyre, in the
other of which a pertinent discussion
had very practical and important re
sults. On the night of this latter
prayer meeting a socialist meeting was
in progress down town, at which John
Conrad, a laboring man, made a red
hot speech against the railroad cor
porations and against the churches.
This speech was a regular scorcher and
would have been an eye-opener to Dr.
Sherman and his church if they could,
have heard it. Extracts from the
speech are given. John Conrad prom
ises to be an interesting character.
The next scene is developed in a con
cert saloon, where a very interesting
and somewhat mysterious character is
found. This scene and this chapter of
the story concluded as follows:
"Finally the singers came no more.
The men took their leave by ones and
twos, until the hall was deserted, and
only one or two customers loitered at
the door. It was midnight, and the
bartender rinsed the last beer glass,
stepped into the street, locked the door
behind him and strode his way home
ward. It was midnight, and the ques
tion that burned in the throbbing brain
of John Oonrad and bea.t back the
shadows of slumber, was: 'How long
shall the poor man cry in vain for jus
tice, and the wages of honest toil fail
to satisfy the reasonable needs of the
toiler?' It was midnight, and the ques
tion that Dr. Sherman asked, over and
over again, as he turned his head on
his pillow, was: 'When will the church,
under the spell of that mighty love
which broke the heart of her Master,
go forth with her sweet and blessed
ministries to win and to save the still
unbelieving multitudes?' It was mid
night, and Stephen Rodney, weary with
walking the floor and with thinking,
put his hot brow on the cold window- i
pane, and gazed at the north star and
wondered whether the star of his faHh
and his hope were fading forever. It
was midnight, and Lottie Lovering
shook her bed with her sobs, and pour
eu her hot tears on the pillow, as
through gathering shadows she sight
ed ever more dimly the stainless years
of her childhood retreating into the dis
tance. "Would God be good to her yet,
and break the fetters that bound her?
It was midnight, and the moon flung
her beams into the columns of smoke i
that danced on the chimneys, and reel
ed as they mounted and melted into the
ocean of air. The stars flung their fire
on hill and valley and river. But over
the palace and hovel, over the sleep
and. the vigil, over the moan and the
laughter, over the curse and the bless*- •
ing, over the good and the evil, brooded
the spirit divine. And what was the*
silence of midnight but the vast trum-.
pet that gathered into the ear of the
Father the manifold cry of his chil- ;
dren? And stooping thus over the city,
a brooding spirit of sweetness, the
question that burned in His heart was:
"When will my children be brothers?' "
CHRISTIAN AGNOSTICISM.
Rev. S. G. Smith Takes a Shot at
Col. Ing-eraoH's Solicitude.
Rev. S. G. Smith took for his topic
at the People's church yesterday "The
Christian Agnostic," a theme evidently
inspired by Col. R. G. Ingersoll's recent
visit. He said in part:
"The dogma of hell made me an agnostic "
said a brilliant orator, the other night. This
i& a curious, and an incoherent result indi
cating an atrophy of the reason. A somber
and repulsive dogma of hell might properly
lead a man to make haste and reform his
life, or it might make him seek to reform his
dogma, but it has no more right to make a
man an agnostic than a wart on my friend's
nose is an adequate excuse for committing
murder. But it is the tendency of the hu
man mind to despise its ignorance, and our
agnostic orator has no sooner condemned hel!
than he proceeds to tell us what he believes'
Faith seems to have a peculiar fascination for
him. He believes that back of all appearances,
there is a system of causes, that each is duly
followed by its proper effect— a very adequate
basis for hell here — that in nature's order no
link is ever broken, that prayer can never
be answered, and that the powers of nature
care for no one of us.
Human knowledge is the result of reflec
tion on human experience. Our actual per
sonal experience is fleeting and fragmentary.
We correct it by the conception of an organ
ized experience. This larger experience of
which the greatest scholar has but a frag
ment, builds a world of order which no man
has ever seen, but it is on that account none
the less a real world. Its reality is proved be
cause we verify it, day by day, in the actual
processes of living. Ingersoll admits a system
of causes in a nature where the order is un
broken, and no link is ever lost. This is
glib rhetoric, but logical suicide. Nature is
indeed one, her order is unbroken, there 1b a
unity of human knowledge, philosophy is the
science of sciences, and the All is One. But
does this lead to a "system of causes" as
the explanation of power? No, if nature is
one and knowledge is one, and in the abiding
harmony there is no broken link, if this
world of harmony is a thought-world and not
a fact-world, then the only legitimate conclu
sion is one great Cause, and that Cause a
Spirit.
AH trains may look alike to the inexperi
enced novice, but to the discriminating
traveler there is no train like the Milwau

ON GffEAT MEN.
Rev. Father Mu.\ul<>- Addremei the
< rusudfrs' Society.
An interesting nieeting of the Cru
saders' Total Abstinence society was
held yesterday afternoon at Crusaders'
hall, corner otnW.est Sixth and Fort
streets. The hall was well filled, the
audience bein^*' composed mostly of
young men. The exercises consisted of
music and speeehesjand Daniel Keefe,
president of the' ''society, presided.
Frank Roach sing ''She Was an Old-
Fashioned MotWer." 'and in response to
an encore, "She/Was Bred in Old Ken
tucky." The Pepiit orchestra gave sev
eral instrumental numbers which were
loudly applaudgg. 1 "
Rev. Father McNulty spoke on "The
World's Great JMeni" These, he said,
were the statesmen, theologians, au
thors, poets, philanthropists and
scientists, whose fame rests upon
enduring foundations, and whose deeds
and works have left a lasting and en
nobling impression upon the human
race and have -helped mightily to lift
the civilized portions of the world to
the sublime heights occupied by them
today. The speaker went on briefly to
name a few of these men and to men
tion some of the great .things they have
done to benefit mankind. He said
there was no better way to gain great
and helpful lessons than by studying
the lives' and teachings' of these truly
*freat men, and no better way of build-
Ing up a noble and high character
than by imitating those lives so far as
possible.
R. D. O'Connell spoke of the Cru
sader society as one of the finest or
ganizations for ybVng men in the coun
try. Any young irian might be proud
to be a member of it. The good it had
done and is doing was beyond com
putation. It was helping to shape the
lives of the future business men, gov
ernors and statesmen of this great
state. It gives a ybung man an op
portunity to develop along the lines
that will make him most useful to so
, ciety. It has a reading room, a liter
ary society, a card club, a tourist club
and other interesting features that are
helpful to young men.

GANIZATION
FIRST MEETING YESTERDAY
Prof. B. IV. Boentsch Waa Chosen
President of the New Association,
Which Expects to Have a Mem.
I-.TRblp of About 4,OOO— Its Aim
Will lie Largely Social, It Is In
tended.
With 120 delegates present, repre
senting every German lodge or society
In the city, an organization to be
known as the German-American club
was formed at Cambridge hall yester
day afternoon. As Indicated by the
name, tho new organization Is to ba
composed strictly of Germans or Ger
man-Americans. It is yet In the em
bryonic state, but plans of organiza
tion were thoroughly discussed at the
meeting and an understanding reached
as to its objects and aims. The organ
ization is to be strictly non-political
and non-sectarian, but is intended to
firmly unite the Germans of the city
so that the combined efforts of the
German population may conduce to the
advancement and interests of the na
tionality, both socially and materially.
When completed It is expected that the
new club or, association will embrace
4,000 local members.
The perfecting of the organization
has been a work ojt some months and
has been largely forwarded by the
Kriegerverein society. Similar organi
zations are in existence in other large
cities where there is a large German
population, and among those of the
fatherland in St. Paul such an affilia
tion has long been desired. With the
general gathering of the Germans of
the state at New Ulm last fall plans
for the club assumed tangible shape
and zealous efforts have since been
made to complete the organization.
There are 120 recognized German soci
eties in St. Paul, including lodges of
the Sons of Hermann, singing socie
ties and social clubs, all of which were
represented at yesterday's meeting.
The representation was upon a basis
of one delegate for every twenty-five
members. All present were in a gen
eral way informed of the object of the
meeting, and when the matter was
taken up for formal discussion a num
ber of speeches were made In favor of
the plan. There was some diversity of
opinion as to the form of organization,
but all the delegates were In general
accord, so by a unanimous vote tho
German- American club was formed.
Prof. Bernard W. Boenisch was
elected president, and committees on
constitution and by-laws were appoint
ed. These committees are expected to
finish their work during this month
and be ready to report at the next
meeting of the organization, which will
be held at Cambridge hall, Feb. 5.
CAUGHT AT ST\ JOE.
Fergus Falls People Think the
Train Robbers Are in Custody.
J. W. Mason returned today from St.
Paul, says the Fergus Falls Journal,
where h© -was called In consultation as
to the parties in Jail at St. Joseph, Mo.,
claimed to be implicated in the Great
Northern train robbery last
.Asked -Tils opinion as to the probable
-.guilt or innocence 6f such parties, Mr.
'•Mason said:
"Mr. Billings has not had ttme to
fully develop the evidence against these
parties. From what he has learned
and" discovered, it looks very probable
that the St. Joseph parties were impli
cated in the robbery.
"Their discovery clears up one mys
tery "which confronted the prosecution
all the way through the Thayer trial.
It will be remembered that the parties
who were actually present at the rob
bery went by numbers and four, five,
six. and seven were called. This piain
ly indicated that seven men were in
terested or Implicated in the affair,
but how or where to locate numbers
one, two and three puzzled the state.
It now looks as though Sheriff Billings
has supplied the missing link and ac
counted for numbers one, two and
three.
"The railroad and express company
officials are well satisfied that these
are the facts, and give Sheriff Billings
great credit for his diligence and first
class detective work."
Mr. Mason also says:
"Mr. Billings has made no statement
to any St. Paul paper, and all reported
Interviews and statements originated
from some source other than Sheriff
Billings. The railroad and express au
thorities are very anxious that these
parties should be returned to this state,
and, in company with their confeder
ates here, suffer the punishment of their
joint crime."
Sheriff Billings Is confident that he
has located three men at St. Joseph
who were connected with the Great
Northern robbery.
He he is not certain that the men can
be brought to Minnesota, as the St.
Joseph officials are anxious to convict
them there of robbing James C. Davis
on the street. They think they have
a good case against them, and the
prosecuting attorney is anxious to send
them over the road. The federal au
thorities are being Interested in the
case, and if they act quickly and en
ergetically they can be brought to this
state. The whole story is becoming
more and more complicated and is con
stantly increasing in interest, and
further details may be given out in a
day or two.
SAY THEY FOUND THE DEED.
Carver Heirs' Revive Their Claim to
St. I'iuil and Vicinity.
A dispatch from Columbus, 0., last
night declared that the heirs to estate
of the late Jonathan Carver, one of the
early explorers in this section, had
found a deed apparently confirming
their title to the site of the city of St.
Paul and a number of counties on both
sides of the Mississippi river in Min
nesota and Wisconsin.
Some of the Carver heirs have con
tended for a long time that the title to
the territory where St. Paul is now es
tablished had never rightfully passed
out of their ancestor's possession, and
the claims have been given frequent
publicity.
Carver's cave, dug into the side of
Dayton's bluff, was for many years one
of the historic relics of St. Paul, but
has of late years succumbed to the
march of modern commerce In de
manding new yard room for the Chi
cago railroads.
The Columbus telegram saya:
The deed for which the heirs of Jona
than Carver had been searching for
years has just been discovered at Chil
llcothe, and the heirs claim It will es
tablish their title to the great tract of
land, including the counties of Ramsey
and Washington, in Minnesota, and the
counties of Barron, Chippewa, Price,
Taylor, Clark, Eau Claire, Dunn, St.
Crolx, Pierce, Pepln, Buffalo and parts
of several others In Wisconsin. The
deed, with the history of the transfer
from Nawdanlssie Indians, is a matter
of* record at Chillicothe, being recorded
on page 214, volume, 36, of the Rosa
county deed records. It wag discov
ered after years of patient searching
In this country and England. Attor
neys for the heirs are now searching
the deed records In the general land
office at Washington to find an entry of
the deed.

SOME SPONGE ON THE DOCTOR.
Doctors nowadays give away medicine much more generally than
in former years, and the manufacturing chemists who supply com
pressed tablets report of late numerous orders and applications from
physicians for a tablet that shall be " equivalent to a Ripans Tabule."
There is really little reason why a physician should buy an imitation
when the genuine Ripans Tabules can be had on just about as good
terms, and there is nothing ahout them to enable a patient to recog
nize them. The Ripans Tabules look just like any other tablet of the
same size and color, and the genuine are only to be recognized with
certainty by the universally good results that follow their use. The
Ripans Chemical Co. supply their product to the profession on specially
favorable terms, because it is for their advantage that every doctor
shall become so familiar with the merits of Ripans Tabules that he will
be quite as willing a patient shall supply his needs at the drug store
as to sponge on his physician, and thus get them for nothing

COLDER WEATHER PREDICTED
Marked Fa.II In Temperature* Looked
for by Officials.
The following telegram was received
at 1:10 p. m. yesterday:
Chicago, 111., Jan. 22.— Conditions are favor
able for a decided fall in temperature over
the Northwestern states tonight.
At 2 a. m., however, exposed thermom
eters locally registered only a few de
grees below freezing point.
LIQUID HYDROGEN.
Prof. Dewiir'.i Interesting Lecture at
the Royal Institution.
LONDON, Jan. 22.— 1t is now eight
months since the final triumph of the
laboratory in liquefying hydrogen.
Prof. Dewar, at the Royal institution,
last night describes the most volatile
of gases when reduced to the coldest
substances ever known. When pure it
was a colorless, transparent liquid of
considerable refractive power. It had
a well defined meniscus, but no appear
ance of being a metal, as Faraday
thought it might prove to be. It is not a
conductor of electricity, and its density
is very deceptive. At first he thought
It might be about half that of water,
but by measuring a given volume and
seeing how much gas was produced,
he found it only one-quarter that of
water, or six times less than the light
est liquid hitherto known. One liter
weighed only seventy grammes. It in
stantly froze and solidified air and
oxygen, hence it enabled the density of
those two solids to be ascertained.
A little ball cooled in It and "exposed
to the air first covered with a coating
of solid air and then began to drip
liquid air. A piece of cotton wool soak
ed In it appeared to be magnetic, but
the liquid Itself, he was satisfied, was
not magnetic, so this phenomenon must
be due to the cotton wool being imme
diately filled with solid oxygen, which
Is highly magnetic.
Prof. Dewar explained how a vacuum
of high tenuity was easily obtained by
Immersing a closed tube of liquid air
In a tube of hydrogen. This imme
diately solidified, and if the tube was
so arranged that a portion containing
the accumulation of solid air could be
sealed the other part had. according to
Sir William Crooks' calculation, a pres
sure amounting to only one-tenth mil
lionth of an atmosphere. With vac
uum vessels for use with hydrogen it
"Was therefore not necessary to pump
out the air; it was only needful to put
the liquid in a double-walled vessel,
and it made its own vacuum by solidi
fying the air between two walls.
LUCK IN ODD^ NUMBERS.
David Vdkln* Is (ioiiiit to Mnrri the
Same Woman the Third Time.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Jan. 22.—
David Adkins and Delia Adkins will in
the near future, according to the state
ment of Adkins. be married for th«
third time. On Oct. 10. 1896, Adkins
married Miss Delia Xeeld, a prominent
young sooiety woman. Domestic trou
bles arose, and they separated, she su
ing for a divorce. This was granted
Feb. 3, 1897. A reconciliation followed,
and they were again married June 1,
1897. A short time afterward they sep
arated for the second time, and Sept.
26. 1898, she was again granted a di
vorce. Adkins stated today that he was
going to try matrimony for the third
time, and hoped to be more fortunate
than before.
WILD MAN IN INDIANA.
Walkn on All I'liiirs, la Covered
With Hair, Fights Like v Demon.
KOKOMO, Ind., Jan. 22.— Constable
Elwood McCracken, of North Ervin
township, brought to jail here a queer
specimen of humanity, captured in a
church at Poplar Grove. The man,
who was practically nude when found,
is partially covered with a thick, shag
gy growth of grizzly hair from one to
four inches in length. He was at first
thought to be some wild animal, as he
was crouching and walking on all fours
between the benches of the church.
Though evidently past eighty years of
age, he is a Hercules in physique, and
wild and vicious as a tiger. He fought
like a demon on being captured. He
can talk but little. He says his name
is Jacobson, and that is all that could
be got out of him. It is not known
where he came from. The officers are
at a loss to know what to do with him.
En Route to Manila.
DENVER, Jan. 22.— Fifteen car loads of the
Tenth infantry from Fort Leavenworth Kan.
en route for Manila, were transferred from
the Burlington road to the Union Pacific here
at 1:15 p. m. today, and continued their jour
ney westward to Ogdcn, Utah, thence to San
Franclaco via the Southern Pacific. At mid
night tonight the Rock Island will brine a
second detachment ofthe Tenth.
