Innis. -"- ■ Miss Ora Emery Dack delivered an ora tion on "The Spirit of Investigation,", which was characterized by deep thought and evident careful preparation. Miss' Dack contended that the children of sci entific research were just beginning to break through nature's crust, and the discoveries and departures of the cen tury, great as they were, marked but the beginning of. a research bounded only by man's capacity to investigate. She said in part: "Science existed in embryo In the world of the far past. It had its infancy in the days of later Greece, its childhood In the Arabian period; its adolescence In the Renaissance, and is today in the prime of Its early manhood. We talk of the law of gravitation, and yet we know not what it is. We talk of the conservation and distribution of; forces, yet we know not. what forces are. We hav§ advanced very little beyond the . threshold of "!, the great tern pig' of nature, VcafL "deeper | re cesses tnust be left for j the . thinkers .of• the future to explore. . ? ; V i Jf "Ignorance pays a heavy* ransom for Its existence. Knowledge ennobles what ever It touches. It is the force that civi lises mankind. If Imagination had been more cultivated, if there had been a closer union between the spirit of poetry and the spirit of science natural philoso phy would have made , greater, progress. Blind disbelief Is as fatal to science as blind belief. The literature in our alcoves, the v. hirl of wheels in every fac tory th 3 exquisite lines from the sculp tor's chisel, civilization itself Is a monu ment to the investigator, the man" with great powers of thought—great construc tive imagination. 7 ■'*-.'■-:■■ ?7/. "Oh, the solitude of great minds! How they shun the crowd and seek peace, and Inspiration amid the solemn beauties and lone sublimities of nature. They wander through 'the pathless woods,' they linger on the. wave-washed beach . awed and thrilled by the deep anthems of the sea. They stand alone on the mountain tops and hear the terrified voice of .storms. 'Tis the voice of nature; they know It well. To the groveling and. earth-bound they are the evangels of a nobler and better life. Interpreters of deeper mys teries, they hold ajar for us the doors of the ineffable. 7 Heralding all grander truths, they are the exponents and proph ets of that golden age for which human ity waits." Miss Winnlfred Bloomfield struck a pop ular chord with her oration on "National Spirit." Primarily, It was the love -of country which incited the Greks to val iant deeds, and to a higher elevation of the country's institutions of art, but even the patriotism of the Romans was but a puny growth as compared with Wash ington and. Gladstone. The patriots of Egypt, Babylon, Greece and Rome loved their country with a far different love from that which the well educated Chris tian American or Englishman loves his country. The Egyptian said, "Let Egypt flourish though.all other nations decay." The Babylon said. "Let Babylon's power increase and others wane." So said the Spartan, so said the Corinthian, so said they all. It was not the mountains that kept Greece divided into many independ ent states, but a lack of patriotism. "The true patriot," Miss Bloomfield said, "loves not only our flag, our rivers and our mountains, but our commerce, our Institutions, our influence and power for good among the nations of the world. The man who is loyal to his. own land seeks the best things of other nations, for only thus can the best come; to his own. He lays aside all personal motives, and having his country's interest at heart, works.for. the nations welfare. As- Amer icans we have the best reasons for being patriotic. We live In a land of perfect liberty. There is a broad field of action before us stimulating to the greater In dustry. We are unsurpassed in range of territory, inventive genius and just laws. What other country can boast of a record like ours? Where In a thousand years of their history could Greece, Rome. or Brit ain show the .progress that our nation has made in the past century. From a few struggling colonies we have In three centuries become a great nation with a still greater future before us." Miss Bloomfleld's oration concluded with a verse of "America," which was caught up by the audience and the song sung through. . , Lewis .H. Merritt spoke on "William Ewart Gladstone." As the grandest man of his time Gladstone left behind him a monument, to liberty and freedom which time could not eface.

WHERE IS MRS. SARGENTT Bondiutr Company Warned! About, a MlMMlng Trustee. Probate Judge Bazille yesterday Issued an order removing Mrs. Kate Sargent from the guardianship of the Sargent minors, on the petition of the American Bonding and. Trust company. The court refused, however, to release the bonding company,from Mrs. Sargent's bond until It is discovered where the late guardian and her wards have gone, and In what condition the estate remains. Mrs. Sargent, appeared in probate court last January and represented to Judge Bazille that she, with her four children, of whom the eldest is 13, are entitled to an estate of $2,500, of which $1,000 due belonged to the children. She said that the $1,000 was In the hands of a guardian in lowa, who had invested It In a mort gage under his own name, and she asked that she be appointed guardian of the children in order to commence suit in case the lowa man should refuse to turn over the monejfl ." On this morning Judge Bazills made the appointment and Mrs. Sargent furnished bonds in the sum of $1,200. ';'y .7 ;•* /7-:-.;,:;.:.- She was supposed to consult with her attorney, Ferd. Barta, in regard to the money in lowa, but she failed to show up at his office. The attorney thought nothing,of. the matter until last week, when an agent' of the bonding company called to collect the premium due on the bond. . Then it ..was discovered that Mrs. Sargent and her children had left the city. They .were living on Wacouta street, -and none 7of the s neighbors could tell where they had gone." Maurice Moriarty, the agent of the company, made inquiries in the neighborhood and discovered that Mrs. Sargent had gone away owing $231 for groceries_at an adjacent store for which the proprietor has secured \ a writ of attachment on the money in lowa. , The bonding company asked for the re moval of the guardian, but the court re fused to release the company from its responsibility until it is discovered what has become of the estate, especially of the money in lowa. UNIFORM MUIIDI SALARY GRADE TEACHERS INDORSE IT BY A- VOTE OF 51 7 TO ,35 ; ' i f& Jl4_ ' % ; / Not a. Little i>lver»lty of Opinion, However; Manifest in the Preliminary*3 Discussion of the Subject. ' 7 « The Grade Teachers' federation held a metting yesterday afternoon in the Y. M. C. A. rooms and voted to go on record as favoring a uniform maximum salary for all grade teachers. The action was decided upon by a vote of 51 to 35. Miss Robb, the president, was directed ' to"' appoint a committee to wait upon ; the, council to urge that the additional tax levy for school purposes, authorized by the legislature, be made available as soon as possible. ~777 The matter of uniform salaries came up for consideration through the considera tion of Supt. A. J. Smith some time ago.: The salary question has long been an im portant one, owing to the limited means which has been : at the disposal of the school board. It has been urged from time to time that no discrimination ■■ should be made between the grades, and that all teachers should be paid the same, salary schedule, graduated according to the length of service. \ Misg. Fowbl^/avored a uniform salary schedule. She -thought ;if some teachers (were paid tfcan Others, there was no incentive , to become perfect in the l.wor^io^itrift.gjwde.^utrto strive for an iAppefnUnentlli^n^C'ofSthe more favored Tgradfsft Tfier&'twas" she thought, little unanimity of opinion among teachers as ' to which were* the . most difficult grades to handle. . Some thought the first pri mary, others the fourth and fifth and still . others the upper grades. In any event, she thought the intermediate grades should not be discriminated against.- ;7'.:■/. -'^; -- • 7 Miss Hosmer did not favor the uniform salary Idea. It was her opinion that the upper grades required the most tact. She thought the fact that training school teachers were not put in the upper grades to begin was an evidence of this. f — Miss McFetridge asserted that It requir ed I a broader knowledge of pedagogical subjects to teach; the upper grades, more work and energy . and certainly more tact. .- .'' .' 7r'.7\ '::.■'■ ■'..*'■ : : .'-' Miss - Campion also opposed the scheme. She thought if all recived the same salary the- first primary -teachers would want to get Into the grades, as they were not so difficult to . teach. In many cities the first primary teachers received the high est salaries paid in graded schools. . There was a general discussion of the subject, which 1 ended with the result named.

COUNTY REPUBLICANS ARE ALREADY PLANNING FOR .^7 HIS.DEFEAT HAVE A FEW CANDIDATES Capt. 8. R. Van Sunt Aft-aln In Favor a« a Candidate for Governor With J. a Number of the Minneapolis Men —Winona Man la Willing—Fletch . er Worried Over Rumor About Judge Canty. Events in Hennepin county Indicate that the Republicans are taking shape against the return of Knute Nelson to the senate. A3 "pearly as can be learned the culmina tion is due to a meeting of the four" big ones," Congressman Fletcher, Charles A. Pillsbury,. Capt. S. R. Van Sant and Steve Lovejoy, at the office of the latter, cue day early In the present week. After the meeting the story traveled that -a combine had been effected for Hennepin, covering the candidate for governor and an anti-Nelson candidate. For the former Capt. Van Sant was the favorite, and for the other Mr. Pillsbury. To learn defi nitely, a prominent Republican made It his business to Investigate. He found both reports confirmed at "headquarters," He informed the Globe that Mr. Pillsbury was a little foxy, as yet, still there was no doubt but that such would be the sit uation in a short time, and Mr. Pillsbury be "out" openly to beat Nelson. -As to Van Sant, his candidacy was acknowl edged by Mr. Lovejoy. The latter being asked if he was to manage the captain's campaign, he said that he would not say that he would "manage" it, but he would take a hand to help It all he could con sistently with his official duties. , Considerable surprise is expressed at the course, taken by Congressman Fletcher, in being thus thrown across the path of Senator Nelson's ambition, but it is said to be due to Mr. Fletcher's fears regard ing his own case. He is said to be thor oughly alarmed—can't sleep nights—says a friend, on account of the increasing probability that Judge Canty will be the Democratic candidate against him. There is no doubt but what Fletcher fully agreed with Nelson that if he would appoint Lovejoy postmaster he would see to it that there was no opposition to Nelson in Hennepin, but he did not fore see that it would endanger his own pros pects. This has come from the antipa thy against Nelson, due to several causes which as astute an observer .as Mr. Fletcher might have foreseen, ! among them the bitterness from the old Wash burn fight, and, a local matter entirely, the snubbing of Hennepin by Nelson in the last campaign on account of young Mr. Webster. Webster and the Kindred campaign recall Fletcher's monetary connection with Nelson. It is an. old story, ' but always questioned, that Fletcher aided Nelson when the "Little Norwegian" defeated Kindred, and at a time, too, so it is said, when Kindred supposed he was on v the most intimate political terms with Fletcher. But It must not be thought that there remained any obligation on Nelson's part. ' The friends of Nelson, of whom there are, many sincere ones in, Hennepin, are very bitter at the developments, and It it possible that they will make a fight' for Knute, but only possible. Such 'of them as are of Norwegian connection declare it is but a scheme for throwing down the Norwegians, as the epubllcans have "thrown" about all of the other nationalities, the only glaring exception to which is that Congressman • Fletcher is : said to have the Irish, so far as they can be represented by Joe Mannix, who is now on the staff of Fletcher. ; But the combine will probably be too large j for them to do anything with. Van Sant, after the experience with Eustis, can easily carry Hennepin. Apropos of which the Van Sant men are very bitter against Collins. . ...;,. 77>7 r ... •*'"'.•■ a! From this on the anti-Nelson campaign in Hennepin can be seen without a spy ,glass, anr the best point of observation will be nearest the person of Big Miller Charles Pillsbury. -.'—■..-■: ' ——^SSt»" CHARMING IN "CHARMS." Successful Presentation of the Drama by Local Talent. "Charms," a drama in four acts, was creditably presented by a number of young people last evening at Cretin hall. The play was given for the benefit of the Catholic Infants' home, . and was under the direction of Miss Emily L. Le Febvre. • Though, given* by amateurs, it was by no means an amateurish production that the large audience witnessed and ap plauded. The stage, setting was good, everything moved smoothly and some of the participants displayed genuine tal ent. Miss Rosmark Fanning was easily the star, though shining in the some what doubtful brilliancy of adventuress. She made as pretty an adventuress as one could desire and read her lines easily and expressively. Joseph J. Pfister, as Philip Fere, shared honors with. Miss Fanning and "enacted the part of good young man In the most natural way. The other parts were equally well taken, Harry H. Miller, as Arthur Medwyn, the hero; Edward J. Doperty, as Count Rochegune, the vallaln, and the minor male characters Impersonated by Bern ard M. Farrell, Marshall Wilson, Frank H. Relpllnger and George B. Allen, were most satisfactory.. Miss. Emily L. La Febvre, as Amy Bertram, made a charm ing heroine, and Miss Margaret Allman was a most vivacious Mrs. Pudsy Todd. Miss Martha J. Miller, as Laura Glen dinning, and Miss Lucia R.

ONE POUCH PER HOUR NEW INTERURBAN MAIL PROPOSI TION EXPECTED PROM THE - STREET RAILWAY LAST WEEK'S CONFERENCE Gen. Shallenberg-er and the Local Officials, With Supt. Smith, Con. _ sidered the Advisability of Aban doning the Drop Letter Boxes on the Cars, and Carrying; the Let ters in Sealed Locks. During the recent visit to the city of Second Assistant Postmaster General Shallenberger'negotiations were set on foot which may bring about the resump tion of the use of the interurban cars for carrying the malls between St. Paul and Minneapolis. If the service is resumed, however, the street car letter, boxes will be dispensed with and the service will be in closed pouches between the postoffices. The street car company, during tho period It has been carrying the mall*, has always claimed that the compensa tion was inadequate, and on that score did not seek for a renewal of the contract which will expire July 1. An order was issued by the department that no more mails were to be. placed on the street cars after June SO, and the railways were to be utilized instead. \ On Gen. Shallenberger's visit, however, the matter was again brought up, and after talking the subject over with Post master Smith and Division Superintend ent Perkins, of the railway mail service, a conference was held with Supt. Smith, of the street railway company, which will probably result in a new proposition being made by the company through which the hourly lnt»rurban service will be resumed. •' ■':■?:77 -— :7'-7.7 Superintendent of Carriers Hadllch said yesterday: ; "There* is a large possibility that the service will be resumed. It has been a great convenience to have hourly communication with Minneapolis, but 1 understand, from what Gen. Shallenberg er said, that the street railway company felt that it was only paid for the closed pouch service and not for the trouble and delay incident. upon the operation of the street car. letter boxes. The latter are not patronized to the extent that might be expected, anyway. I believe the street car company Is considering a proposition for the carrying of the pouches enlv. Personally, I hope-the system will be continued •to that extent." " .- ■: SYNOD OPENS TODAY. ■ Central Body of the Swedish Luth ■ 's, eran Church.

There are a number of candidates for the office of president of the synod, among them: some of the ablest men of the de nomination. Dr. . E.. Norellus. of Vasa, Minn., Is spoken of as a strong candidate, , and is considered to be one of the ablest men in the state. Dr.* Carl A. Swenson, president of Bethany college, Llndsborg, Kan.; Dr. C. Ranseen. Chicago; Dr. C. A. Lindborg, Rock Island; Dr. S. P. A. Llnd ahl, Rock Island, and others are men tioned in the contest for the office.
